Chapter 713: The fourteenth day of the first lunar month, public opinion is boiling(2/2)
The right guard of the government army was dispatched urgently and blocked the area from Taipingmen Street on the northwest side of the imperial city to Genbei Street in the west imperial city to prevent the rioting people in the city from attacking the imperial city from this direction.
The Fujun Guards on the East City side blocked the line from Tongjimen Street to Gennan Street in Xihuangcheng.
The Xuanjin Bridge outside Xi'an Gate was directly blocked by the Shanzhiqin military guards.
Jinwu's vanguard blocked Zhengyangmen and Chaoyangmen.
Under the continuous mobilization of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, the Imperial City area east of Yingtian City was finally completely sealed off.
But it was too late to control the area west of Dongcheng.
And on Xi'anmenwai Street, tens of thousands of people gathered together without knowing how.
Start from west to east and go to Xuanjin Bridge in front of Xi'an Gate.
Tens of thousands of people, with great momentum, have already shouted slogans.
"The emperor and his grandson are slaughtered, virtue is not worthy of the throne, the court is fair, and the people make decisions!"
In the imperial court area outside the imperial city, the front gates of various ministries and offices have been sealed off and protected by a large number of officers and soldiers.
All officials have received the news, and they all know that they may not be able to return home today.
Pieces of news were circulating among various ministries and yamen.
Everyone knows that there are people behind today's turmoil in the capital.
After all, the three daughters of Song, Luo and Qi could join the court as officials, but it was the initiative initiated by Zhai Shan, the cabinet scholar and Minister of Personnel.
Together with this, the Ministry of Accounts, Daming Commercial House, Daming Bank, etc. also proposed it.
This matter was discussed in the court hall at that time, and all the officials could see that it was the emperor's grandson who was pushing behind the scenes to let the three daughters of Song, Luo and Qi enter the court as officials.
And with what's happening these days.
Judging from the fact that the three daughters of Song, Luo and Qi who entered the court as officials did indeed start to work for the court, the officials gradually began to experience some differences.
Most people have already understood that this was done by the emperor to pave the way for women to get out of the house and work in factories.
Regardless of whether they agree with women being officials or those who disagree, they all see the essence of this matter clearly.
Today, there was a sudden riot in Yingtian City. The people began to surround the government offices in the city and started walking along Xi'anmenwai Street towards Xi'an Gate. It was obvious that someone was secretly pushing it.
According to the rumors and slogans currently circulating in the city, the people believe that the three daughters of Song, Luo and Qi entered the court as officials because of the conflict between the royal family and the emperor's grandson. The royal family wanted to remove the three daughters from the emperor's grandson.
After taking them away, they decided to let the three women serve as officials in the court.
Then the emperor's grandson became angry, and all the people from the three families who entered the capital died tragically.
This is ridiculous.
Some officials who were originally opposed to the three women becoming officials in the court now also became dissatisfied with the people behind what happened today.
No matter how much fighting goes on in the court, there shouldn't be such a big fuss in the capital.
No matter how great the fighting between the government and the government is, the people should not be implicated.
And here, especially the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
These Hubu officials have already scolded those who were behind it for eighteen generations in the Hubu Yamen.
"Budang! Think of a way to calm down the chaos! If Yingtian City is shut down for one day, countless dollars will be wasted!"
"Grandpa Tian, let me know who did it. If Yingtian City is in chaos, our household department will lose a lot of tax revenue!"
"Where are the people from the Governor's Office? Why haven't they mobilized the Beijing army into the city to quell the unrest? Do they really think we dare not stop their military pay?"
"The unrest must be controlled!"
"Yingtian City must not continue to be in chaos! The more chaotic it is, the greater the losses our household department will suffer!"
In the Hubu court, all the Hubu officials, regardless of whether they were in favor of the three women becoming officials or opposed to the three women becoming officials, were highly unified at this moment.
In front of Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, everyone showed the same hatred and hatred.
Who would have thought.
After the chaos in Yingtian City, the first urgent matter was the Hubu Yamen.
And in the Imperial City.
It also seemed a bit chaotic because of the turmoil in the city.
Originally, everyone in the palace was busy due to the emperor's abdication ceremony tomorrow, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Now there is a turmoil in the city. Soldiers and horses from the various battalions of the Imperial Guard rushed into the palace and stationed themselves in various places, making the palace suddenly full of people.
In the midst of chaos and order.
The cabinet ministers, headed by Ren Hengtai, the chief assistant of the cabinet, left the Wenyuan Pavilion and entered the Wenhua Hall.
Inside the Wenhua Hall.
Tomorrow is the day of the abdication ceremony, but Prince Zhu Biao, as the protagonist, seems very calm.
Only when Ren Hengtai and others rushed in did they cause a burst of noise in the side hall.
Zhu Biao frowned slightly as he looked at the people rushing in front of him.
"Your Highness, it's time to stop this evil wind in the city!"
Ren Hengtai has a rare firm tone and tough attitude.
A smile flashed across Zhu Biao's eyes, but his face was filled with confusion: "What's wrong?"
Ren Hengtai was a little anxious: "Your Highness! Today in the city, there must be someone behind it. Tomorrow is the abdication ceremony of the country and the dynasty, which is the most important thing. If we don't calm down the turmoil and stop the evil wind, I will never dare to think about tomorrow.
What will happen?"
As a conservative in the cabinet, Ren Hengtai showed rare toughness.
If it were not for national laws and court rules.
He wished he could order the Beijing army to enter the city now, drive away the people who had gathered in the city, and then ask the Jin Yiwei to send more people to track down the rats hiding in the dark, and send them all to prison.
Punish with the most brutal torture methods in the world.
Zhu Biao put down a memorial in his hand.
In fact, there is nothing interesting about this memorial.
It's nothing more than flattery sent in from the local government.
Since a few years ago, there have been more and more memorials like this.
Probably because of the contents of these memorials, the General Secretary and the Cabinet did not keep them as firewood and sent them all to the Wenhua Palace.
Zhu Biao put down the memorial and looked at Ren Hengtai and others, with a calm and smiling expression on his face.
"Quiet the turmoil and stop the evil wind?"
Chapter completed!
