After New Year's Eve, the time officially entered the 50th year of Taixing. It is rumored that the old emperor is getting more and more crazy. During the New Year's Day worship, many things happened, and there were many unbearable scenes. The civility was lost and the face of the country was lost. The court officials believed that the old emperor was bewitched by the Taoist priests and Jiang Tu. A group of passionate young officials organized to rush into the Taoist temple, smashing statues and Taoist priests, causing a commotion in the city. This chaos, this style, Chen Guanlou knew it was Zhao Mingqiao's style at a glance. Yu Zhaoan, an old fox, disdains this kind of means, which is too rough and does not conform to his aesthetics. Other ministers in the court are similar to Yu Zhaoan. They are better at exploiting loopholes in the court rules rather than smashing and destroying, like a fool. However, Zhao Mingqiao seems to be very keen on this kind of means. When he is unhappy, he will be straightforward and vent directly, without holding his breath and hurting his body. He even dared to kill his mentor Lu Mingchuan. There are few things in this world that he dared not do. The reason why he did not dare was that he had not found the opportunity yet. Once the opportunity came, Chen Guanlou could not imagine how crazy Zhao Mingqiao would do.
He dared not think about it! He secretly visited Zhao Mingqiao once, hiding on the beam, watching Zhao Mingqiao speak eloquently and passionately brainwashing the group of passionate young officials and students, which seemed to have developed into a religion, a fanatical religion. He also overheard that this group of people planned to attack Jiang Tu's mansion in two days. If they could take this opportunity to kill Jiang Tu, it would be the best. The bet is that the law does not punish the masses. He even heard his own name. "Don't worry about going to jail. I will find a way to get everyone into the Tianlao. The Tianlao Jia-shaped jailer is a friend I have known for many years. With him, you will not suffer in the Tianlao and will be able to get out sooner or later." Chen Guanlou: ... Forget it, he doesn't care about Zhao Mingqiao. Let him make a fuss. If he really wants to be imprisoned in the prison, we can take care of him. It's not a big deal. As long as the money is in place, it will be fine. Two days later, this group of passionate officials and students really went to attack Jiang Tu's mansion. The servants of Jiang Tu's mansion fought back, but they didn't seem to dare to fight back. In short, they were restrained. The two sides looked very fierce, but there was no fatal injury. The important thing is the momentum, the atmosphere, and the attitude. These passionate officials and students are really powerful. They really rushed into Jiang Tu's mansion and smashed it. They were crazy. Wucheng Bingmasi learned the news and rushed over. Seeing that they couldn't stop it, they directly pushed the ball to Jingzhao Prefecture and then found an excuse to run away. When the people of Jingzhao Prefecture saw this scene, they found that the small body couldn't bear it. They learned from the operation of Wucheng Bingmasi and pushed the matter to Jinyiwei, and ran away with a lousy excuse. Jinyiwei: ... Can't push it! I can only bite the bullet and go forward to separate these crazy people.
As expected, the Jinyiwei was also injured. The passionate officials may be afraid of the Jinyiwei, but the passionate students are not afraid at all, and they are determined to fight all the evil spirits to the end. The Jinyiwei is the court's hawks and dogs, and they should fight. The scene was in chaos for a while. In the end, it was the right prime minister Yu Zhaoan who came forward to suppress the excitement of the passionate students, and persuaded these energetic students to disperse. As for the loss of Jiang Mansion, it is naturally borne by Jiang Mansion itself. Ask the passionate students for compensation? Don't you want to die? Do you want to be beaten again? No matter how arrogant the servants of Jiang Mansion are, they know that they can't beat the students to death. Beating a student to death is a small matter, but the impact will affect the entire court. Its seriousness is far greater than embezzlement. At that time, Jiang Tu will be exiled even if he doesn't die. The importance of students is so great. This is why Jiang Tu would rather deal with the courtiers than with those mad-dog students. You can't fight them! Jiang Tu himself was unlucky and was hit by two pairs of smelly shoes. Although he was not injured, he lost face. He was so angry that he smashed several sets of his beloved porcelain. It was really a bad year and he offended Tai Sui. Zhao Mingqiao planned two riots throughout the process, which greatly embarrassed the old emperor. But the old emperor couldn't get angry. Who made him disregard his dignity and make such an embarrassing scene during the New Year's Day worship, which made the country lose face. The old emperor could only endure it temporarily, but he lost his temper in Taiji Palace. The princes knew what was good and bad, and they didn't step forward to offend them. They hid and found all kinds of excuses to avoid entering the palace. The concubines in the harem also calmed down and cultivated their character. What yin and yang complement each other, none of these are important. The courtiers also wanted to hide for a few days. It's the New Year, and they don't want to work hard. If you have anything to say, wait until the holiday is over. For a moment, Taiji Palace was unusually deserted. Except for the palace servants, no one came to pay respects. Qiu Defu was afraid that the old emperor would notice this situation, so he signaled the palace servants to act busy and not stand still like wooden men. The old emperor walked around the hall barefoot. Qiu Defu kept persuading the old emperor to put on shoes and socks and take care of himself.
Although it was useless, he had to persuade him. The old emperor tore his beloved whisk into garbage, and the ground was covered with hair from the whisk. "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. Although it is the beginning of spring, the weather is still very cold. If your majesty falls ill, how will the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heaven be held?" "I am in good health. With the elixir offered by the Jixia Academy, my body is more relaxed than ever. I can live another thirty or fifty years." Qiu Defu:... If the princes heard this, how desperate they would be! In thirty or fifty years, the court officials may not be able to bear it and want to rebel. "Your Majesty, I congratulate you!" "If you don't punish those arrogant scholars, they don't know the majesty of the court. Summon the two prime ministers and other important officials to see me." "Your Majesty, today is only the fifth day of the first lunar month." "I can't wait." The old emperor gritted his teeth, "We must deprive those arrogant students of their fame and let them never step into the officialdom in their lifetime. I want to see if these arrogant students dare to be arrogant after losing their fame. Once their fame is gone, they will all be imprisoned, and no one will be spared." Qiu Defu was shocked when he heard this. If he really did this, it would be a major event that shocked the world! If it were a peaceful time, with the majesty of the court and the authority of the emperor, this matter would definitely be suppressed and the impact would be minimized. But now, the north and the south are at war, and the world is in chaos. If such a shocking thing happens again, I am afraid that all the students in the world will be disunited and run to the side of the King of Chu. Qiu Defu dared not persuade him, he was afraid of death. He could only place his hopes on the court officials. I hope the court officials can stop the old emperor from going crazy as much as possible. Seeing that the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky is imminent, don't make a big noise and cause criticism from the world.
