If you are really going to die, no matter how high your reputation is, it will still be a loss-making business!
Therefore, after Emperor Chongzhen issued the decree that he would be spanked if there was any further trouble, most people chose to wait and see, but a few stubborn ones were still shouting and not taking a step back.
Then what the emperor said couldn't be just farts!
Wang Cheng'en, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony and the governor of the West Factory, personally took action and led a large group of people to the gate of the Gongyuan. He announced the order in a high-profile manner, arrested the leaders who caused the most ferocity, and spanked them in public.
In the past two years since its establishment, Xichang has done a lot of things, and it is quite famous. In addition, with the reputation bonus from the previous Xichang, it really shocked the scene for a while, and made these scholars who were angry,
It stalled a lot.
"Pa bang bang..."
The sound of spanking was carried out in public and was so loud that some scholars were so frightened that they couldn't help but cover their buttocks, feeling a slight pain.
However, what they never expected was that they would be beaten with such a big fanfare. After the beating, Wang Chengen scolded them and retreated. Under the background, those who were beaten not only did not die, but they were also
The energy is shouting at the top of one's voice, indicating that he will not retreat until he is given an explanation!
At this time, these scholars all came to their senses.
It turns out that after they brought the sacred knowledge under their control, the current emperor did not dare to act recklessly. The thunder was loud and the raindrops were light, just to scare them away!
The emperor is the only one who is strong on the outside but weak on the inside!
Think about it, this is going against the scholars in the world. Even the emperor would not have the courage, right?
Thinking of this, scholars who wanted to increase their reputation suddenly began to attack Wang Chengen.
For them, for their time, it is politically correct for scholars to criticize eunuchs! It is something that everyone will praise after hearing it.
Anyway, after seeing through the emperor's dog, he didn't dare to do anything to them, so he rushed to fight them one by one. The "indignation" one seemed to be like Wang Chengen becoming a heinous villain.
"You've had enough. You still dare to gather people to make trouble. Are you really not afraid of death?" Faced with all this, Wang Cheng'en shouted pretending to be shocked and angry.
To be honest, his acting skills can indeed be developed after being in the palace for so long.
As soon as those scholars saw him, they felt that Wang Chengen did not have enough confidence and did not dare to do anything to them.
As a result, they are even more aggressive!
"Holy learning is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty and must not be changed!"
"We won't leave until we give an explanation to all the scholars in the world today!"
"As the sage says, you can't bend with force. Come on, beat me to death if you can!"
"You eunuch, we, the scholars, are ashamed to associate with you, so get out!"
"Yes, we won't talk to eunuchs, get out of here!"
"..."
Wang Chengen was shocked and angry at these attacks on them, but he didn't dare to take violent measures. In the end, he led his Xichang men and left in despair.
Before leaving, of course, because of his status, he also said harsh words. He said things like, "Just wait, we will report to the emperor and beat you all to death."
Wang Chengen's ability to be strong on the outside and capable on the inside was well conveyed to these scholars, making them feel that Wang Chengen's defeat gave them a great victory: Look, the eunuch who was even afraid of the senior officials in the ministry was eaten by them.
Big loss!
They are increasingly convinced that this world is ultimately a world for scholars! Even if he is a high-ranking emperor, so what, can he run the country without scholars?
So, this time, they are very confident!
Sure enough, after the West Factory Admiral returned in embarrassment, another eunuch came to deliver the order and announced that the test would be postponed for one day. Kong Hongdao did not care about the scholars who made trouble, and hoped that they would stop making trouble and delay the test here.
Upon hearing this, these scholars not only did not retreat with gratitude, but became even more angry and shouted that they would never retreat until a conclusion was reached.
Sit quietly, go on a hunger strike, and start walking!
There were even some onlookers who saw this scene and felt that it was profitable, so they joined in one after another.
The number of scholars at the gate of Gongyuan reached a thousand by the afternoon.
As the saying goes, more people make you bolder. Seeing more and more people sitting quietly and blocking the door, each one is like a chicken blood. If you can consciously retreat, you will be a ghost!
The officials in the court were naturally paying attention to this scene.
The responsible Ministry of Rites tried to persuade them but were criticized by these scholars. More officials just ignored the matter and watched the excitement with a cold eye.
Among them, there were people who were familiar with Emperor Chongzhen and knew a lot about him, so they smelled something unusual. Gu Wei
It’s not that there must be someone behind these scholars, that’s for sure, otherwise there wouldn’t be such a big fuss. But the current emperor’s approach seems wrong.
One who felt this was Zuo Maodi, the Minister of Civil Affairs.
I think back then, Emperor Chongzhen was so ruthless that all the yamen in the capital were shut down because of official corruption. This was not comparable to the troubles caused by the scholars in front of him.
If we say that Emperor Chongzhen a few years ago, he might have been wary of what others said, hesitant and hesitant, but since the beginning of the 15th year of Chongzhen, when the emperor seemed to have received the treasure given by Emperor Taizu, his methods were decisive and ruthless.
Spicy, completely unmatched before!
The chief assistant, who ransacked the family; the Minister of War, who ransacked the family; and Cheng Guogong, this was passed down from the time of Emperor Chengzu, and they were all trusted before. They all ransacked the family and exterminated the family, and even the vassal kings, some of them were unlucky.
After becoming such an emperor, among these scholars, even if most of them are famous people who make trouble, they will definitely not be so soft-hearted or hesitant!
Although these scholars are using sacred knowledge as an excuse, making trouble at the gate of Gongyuan and hindering the progress of the examination is a big deal! With the emperor's decisiveness after changing his temper, how could he behave like this?
Besides, Emperor Chongzhen's attitude towards science is very clear to his ministers, and they will definitely not compromise. But judging from today's handling, it seems that the emperor is a little hesitant, giving them a chance to cause trouble!
Thinking of this, Zuo Maodi was a little shocked, because he thought of the possibility that the emperor had not changed his temper again, but was doing this on purpose, waiting for them to continue to cause trouble?
this……
Is the emperor going to do this to deal with these scholars?
Killing a chicken with a bull's-eye?
There must be something unusual behind this.
Soon, Zuo Maodi waited for such a conclusion. However, for a while, the information he knew was not comprehensive, so he could not know what kind of medicine was sold in Emperor Chongzhen's gourd.
He felt that this matter was likely to become another major event in the Chongzhen Dynasty. However, he did not understand the joints involved, so he did not dare to act rashly. At most, he would only visit his nephews, acquaintances, etc., and was strictly prohibited from going there.
Get involved in this matter.
As night fell, these scholars had no intention of leaving and still stood in silence at the gate of Gongyuan.
During this period, someone came to the palace again and advised them to be obedient and disperse as soon as possible.
However, this was definitely of no use, and they scolded me instead.
From the beginning to the end, the government officials and soldiers who maintained order in Gongyuan stayed far away and watched the show.
This also let these troubled scholars know that although the princes in the court did not come forward, they still supported them, otherwise it would not be possible.
In this way, they will be more energetic.
However, what they didn't expect was that it was still early February, and it was still very cold after dark. Sitting quietly at the gate of Gongyuan was also a serious sin.
Fortunately, someone sent a cotton blanket and secretly brought some food, so that they would not go on a hunger strike and could persist.
However, even so, by the next day, most of the spirits were sluggish.
One is that most of the scholars who made trouble are older; the other is that scholars of this era are already the type who only study and do not strengthen their bodies. Even if they are wrapped in cotton blankets, spending a night in such a wilderness is very harmful to the body.
Under such circumstances, Wang Chengen led others here again. Seeing their expressions of triumph and success, he told them to get out of here and stop hindering the holding of the examination, otherwise they would have to
Spanking.
I have to say that Wang Chengen looked particularly in need of a beating. These scholars had been in a bad mood after being blown by the cold wind all night. In addition, after yesterday's experience, they felt that the emperor did not dare to do anything to them. Being so provoked by Wang Chengen made them even more upset.
It triggered their anger.
When scholars curse people, they don't have to use a single curse word, but they can curse their ancestors for eighteen generations and bring the dead back to life!
Wang Chengen became so angry that he immediately arrested the scholars who made the fuss and spanked them in public again.
But just like before, I didn't dare to hit him hard, but it was a bit heavier than yesterday.
After the beating, he still shouted and asked: "Who else is there?"
Seeing that no one was dead, Wang Chengen's arrogance was so arrogant that more of these people rushed out to take the attack.
Wang Chengen was really brave at first, beating one by one, but after beating more than ten people, he became obviously timid. After making some harsh words, he ran away in despair.
This is the victory of the battle!
At this time, the emotions of these troubled scholars became high again, and they felt that if they persisted, they would surely win.
Some people even started to suggest that instead of drinking the northwest wind at the door, it would be better to occupy the Gongyuan.
Although it was not explicitly stated that it could be sheltered from the wind and rain, everyone could understand this meaning. It was not known who took the lead first, and others followed, broke into the Gongyuan, and occupied the Gongyuan.
I have never thought about occupying Gongyuan. There is a difference between this gate and Occupying Gongyuan. However, no one dared to say anything amidst the anger among the people.
