155 Struggling for national power abroad, punishing national thieves at home(1/2)
There is an old saying that scholars rebelled for ten years.
Therefore, the rulers of all dynasties looked down on civil servants in essence, and the main guardians were all military generals.
As for the reserve group of civil servants, students never have a sense of existence.
It’s okay to let them talk big, and let them stand up and resist tyranny, then forget it.
However, on May 4th, the students of Jiangnan Prefecture taught the world a lesson.
They made many people understand that the student group cannot be ignored.
"Defeat the Six Thieves"
"Fight for national power outside and punish traitors inside"
"Dr. Gao is released from prison"
"The court apologized to Dr. Gao"
"Officials issued a decree to punish themselves"
The slogans shouted by the Tai students, even in Jiangnan Prefecture, where the atmosphere is open, still make many people frightened.
If they were replaced by Zhongzhou or Mingzhou, these students would definitely die without a place to die.
Even in Jiangnan, no one knows what the consequences of this matter will be.
A strange balance was formed between the government and the country.
The students of Tai took to the streets to march, with banners flying and slogans shook the sky.
All the officials of the dynasty heard clearly.
Almost the people in the entire Bianjing City ran out to watch.
They whispered, watching the proud son of heaven walking forward in the middle of the road, waving his arms and shouting, and his eyes were filled with envy.
There is no doubt that these students are the absolute protagonists today.
But the final decision is still within the imperial city.
The ultimate goal of these Tai students is also the Imperial City.
They wanted to surround the imperial city and express their determination directly to the court.
In the imperial city, the Golden Palace, the ministers were in groups of three or five, and they were talking.
The student parade that happened today was unexpected by these people.
They thought that students might cause trouble, but in the past, as long as the teacher came forward to suppress it, how could the court be alarmed?
But this time it's different.
The actions of the students completely subverted their cognition.
Especially the other five thieves besides Cai Jing.
It can be said that most of the reasons why the Tai students rioted this time was due to them.
The law does not punish the masses. A large number of these students will enter the court to serve as officials in the future. Even the officials cannot forcibly expel them or simply kill them directly. The officials will definitely seek scapegoats.
Is there a more suitable scapegoat than them?
Tong Guan's face was gloomy. Compared with others, although he was a rough man, his mind was much more delicate.
As soon as these students rioted, he immediately realized that this time it was over and could not be suppressed.
Once they can't be suppressed, the six of them will inevitably be engraved on the pillar of shame in history as negative examples.
But Tong Guan is also a master of the art. He only thought of this, and he has not yet come up with a proper solution.
His current idea is to take it.
As a eunuch, he was destined to have no heirs, so he didn't have to think about future generations at all, so what he focused on was in front of him.
As long as he can keep his wealth in this life, he will not care about the turbid waves after his death.
However, not everyone is as free and easy as Tong Guan. Wang Fu, among the Six Thieves, is now a little bit unruly.
Wang Fu is also half a scholar. He worked as a Hanlin in the court and understood the impact of the Tai Student Riot on them.
However, he has limited intelligence, so he can only ask for help from Cai Jing.
"Cai Xiang, what should we do now? If the students make such a fuss, it will be difficult for us to do it." Wang Fu was worried.
Cai Jing was not in a hurry. He glanced at the other guys who were also a little nervous before saying to Wang Fu: "What's the rush? After all, they are just a few students. What kind of waves can they make? Don't forget that the hardest thing this time is not us."
Wang Fu has no other skills, but his ability to figure out the best intentions is first-rate.
When Wang Fu heard Cai Jing say this, he thought he was reacting and said happily: "Yes, these students are not arrogant and do not give face to the government. The government must be very popular now."
Cai Jing added calmly: "So, we must vent our anger for the official family."
Wang Fu deeply agreed.
At this moment, the official family appeared.
"All my dear ministers, I have to report to you, and I have to leave the court without any trouble." Liang Shicheng, who was standing next to the official's house, shouted loudly.
The others looked at each other, and the shouts of the Tai students were heard clearly in the Golden Palace. Can this be called nothing?
However, Liang Shicheng was thick-skinned and must have passed the acquiescence of the official family. The hall was silent for a moment.
Wang Fu looked up and looked at Liang Shicheng, and found that there was no fear in Liang Shicheng's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
Among the six thieves, Tong Guan and Liang Shicheng were both eunuchs.
However, the difference is that Tong Guanzhi is very talented and has always wanted to interfere in military affairs, so he is not enthusiastic about the affairs of the inner palace.
Liang Shicheng is the person closest to the official family.
Since the officials took office, Liang Shicheng's status has also risen and is now the Hall of Supreme Court.
All the imperial orders were used by him, and he found someone to imitate the handwriting of the officials, so he became more and more powerful, and he committed all kinds of evil deeds, including embezzlement and bribery, selling official positions, and was called "hidden image".
Seriously speaking, the six thieves were indeed headed by Cai Jing. However, Cai Jing was the prime minister. Although the world was quite shameful, during his reign, the treasury of the Song Dynasty was still becoming increasingly full.
However, Liang Shicheng is a typical borer, only entering and not leaving. Compared with Cai Jing, he is more harmful and has worse folk reputations.
However, it is precisely because Liang Shicheng is a eunuch that in many aspects, he has an advantage over Cai Jing.
At this time, there were already imperial envoys who had already reported to the Tai students to march.
The official's face was expressionless, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
The official said: "What are the opinions of all my dear friends?"
At this time, Liang Shicheng winked at Wang Fu.
Thinking of Cai Jing’s prompt to him just now and seeing Liang Shicheng’s encouragement, Wang Fu already understood what he should do.
"I have something to say to the officials."
The official smiled on his face, "Please speak with my dear friend."
Seeing that the official smiled at him, Wang Fu thought he was even more self-defeating.
"In my opinion, these Tai students are disrespectful to the emperor and do not care about the stability of the government. They are very disrespectful. They are still young, so they will not be held accountable. They ordered the officers and soldiers to expel them back to the Taixue School and order the Taixue teachers to strictly discipline them."
There are very few idiots who can stand in the hall.
But at this moment, they looked at Wang Fu as if they were looking at an idiot.
After all, it was not a hard study and a good path. Wang Fu's ability is not on the same level as these human spirits.
On the contrary, his intelligence is very compatible with the official family.
Sure enough, the official said happily: "My dear is a good person and the country is always in charge. If these students have the awareness of their dear students, I will not have to worry so much."
Many civil servants were sweating.
This pair of idiots really left them speechless.
The Tai students surrounded the palace gate, and the officials now have two choices, either to admit defeat or to suppress it vigorously.
But now, the stupidest choice and dilemma that the government has taken.
Obviously, the government does not dare to imprison these tyrant students, so that he will not only be a fool, but also be considered a tyrant.
But he didn't want to let Gao Daquan go, so he wanted to drive these students away and settle the situation.
The key is, if people hit your door, how could they settle down?
This is a typical example of treating others as idiots, but in fact, I am the real idiot.
However, these sensible people didn't speak. This time the official provoked the bottom line of all civil servants. That is, Cai Jing, who had other plans, would stand opposite to Wang Fu, who did not follow the right path. Other civil servants chose to watch the show.
Since Wang Fu proposed to expel the Tai student, the matter was finally handed over to him.
To be precise, he and Tong Guan were responsible for this matter together.
Tong Guan was the leader of the army and was able to mobilize the imperial guards. The officials did not expect Wang Fu to convince these students, so they were prepared for forced expulsion.
When Wang Fu arrived outside the palace gate and saw a group of people in a dark state, he felt a little cold.
