Chapter 2763 Gui-shaped scroll, ax and neck, how can “righteousness” exist?
Facing the firecrackers and bayonets raised by these soldiers who did not talk nonsense with them, Han Xu and Sun Juxiang all realized the seriousness of the problem.
Are these warriors coming for real this time?
I have never seen any mid-level or high-level military generals come forward. At most, there are some mid-level military officers such as generals who are shouting at the soldiers, but their words are still somewhat indulgent and protective.
These soldiers, who had been angry for a long time, naturally did not have a good attitude towards the civil servants. They scolded, humiliated, and even pushed them. Some tough-talking civil servants were even beaten with several rifle butts, causing their heads to bleed. There are also people with runny noses, bruises and swollen faces. This was something that would never happen in the past, but it happened many times on the road from Babu Gongshe to Fengtian Hall.
Many officials who are familiar with history can't help but think of those domineering vassal towns during the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. They treated civil servants like pigs and dogs, calling them around and killing them at every turn. If the civil service system suddenly collapsed and returned to the country of Wu Fu, In this era, wouldn't people like myself still have to live in that miserable situation?
For a time, everyone felt panic, pessimism and despair, not knowing what the future would be like.
Cui Jingrong, Chai Ke and Xu Guangqi walked in the front, followed closely by Han Xu, Sun Juxiang, Sun Dingxiang, Sun Chengzong, Lian Guoshi, Wang Yongguang, Li Banghua, Zhu Guozhen, Yang Lian and others. The soldiers lined up on both sides looked at this unscrupulously. The officials who pretended to be calm and composed felt an indescribable sense of pleasure lingering in their hearts.
Once some of the sacred halo is broken, it may be difficult to recover. Looking at this group of officials who have to submit under the knife and gun, although they can only watch coldly from a few steps away, they can still lead Come to some touch.
Cui Jingrong glanced at Sun Chengzong, who was silent, and Lian Guoshi, who looked complicated, and couldn't help but ask: "Zhisheng, are we just going to let these warriors run around like this without restraint, and we'll just watch helplessly and be helpless?"
"Mr. Ziqiang, you have seen it all. Who are these people? They are all big soldiers, corps commanders, chiefs, captains, and sentry officers. You can't even see a commander. Who should we talk to? Can they listen to us? Yes, do you understand?" Sun Chengzong sighed, "And these people are not from the same town. You can tell by looking at the military uniforms. They are from Denglai Town and Jiangbei Town, and Ji Town, Liaodong, Dongjiang, Everyone from Shanxi has gone to Beijing, even if we can persuade one family, what about the others?"
The surrounding ministers all heard the conversation between Cui Jingrong and Sun Chengzong. It was indeed unacceptable for the border troops to enter Beijing, but the key point was that they had entered the city. The Beijing camp opened the city gate on the grounds that the remnants of Bailian were causing trouble and needed to be suppressed. , all these border troops entered Beijing in a chaotic manner, causing this disaster. It is difficult for anyone to say what role the Beijing camp played in it.
Now the situation has reached a point where it is completely out of control. No matter what the civilian officials talk to these military men at this time, they refuse to believe it, because in such a severe situation like yesterday when the Beijing camp and the border troops were in a standoff, no one agreed. The military men's request to stop disarmament and conquer Mongolia was suddenly "captured" by the border troops. If you want to say that the civil servants have agreed to change their tune and suspend disarmament and conquer Mongolia, do you think these military men will believe it?
That's why these warriors refused to trust civilian officials, but wanted to find a guarantee, and this guarantee was to make Feng Ziying the emperor!
Shou Fu becomes emperor? !
It sounds too absurd, but it actually happened, and the civil servants also vaguely heard the soldiers saying that another border army had gone to Sanjue Street to "support" Feng Ziying.
In the eyes of civil servants, this is a forced kidnapping, and Feng Ziying will definitely refuse to comply. However, these warriors have reached this point, and they have no way out. No one can predict the final outcome.
Hundreds of people entered the palace from Chengtian Gate. It seemed that the Shangsanqin Army had already succumbed to the power of the border troops. The palace gate was wide open, and they passed through the Meridian Gate, Jinshui Bridge, Fengtian Gate, and walked all the way to Fengtian Hall. He stopped subconsciously and stood still in front of the door of Fengtian Hall.
The soldiers did not urge them, but lined up at a distance to guard the helpless civil servants, but ignored them.
"You said they went to find Ziying, will Ziying agree? Jun Yu, what do you think?" Cui Jingrong glanced at Chai Ke, then at Xu Guangqi, and in the faces of everyone, he finally fell on Lian Guoshi .
Everyone knows that Lian Guoshi is Feng Ziying's most loyal and closest friend. Feng Ziying's attitude can be gleaned from him.
"Mr. Ziqiang, gentlemen, this is not a question of whether Ziying can agree to it. Who still has the right to speak when facing so many swords and guns?" Lian Guoshi looked around, "Can those big-headed soldiers listen to your explanation and persuasion?" What?"
"But Ziying has great prestige in the minds of these warriors. Many of them were promoted by Ziying when she was the minister of the Ministry of War and fighting in Shaanxi and Liaodong..." Han Xu retorted.
The leading figures from the North and the South, who had been the most fiercely opposed to Feng Ziying's policies, unanimously expressed their attitudes at this time. They all believed that Feng Ziying had the ability to control the army.
"Haha, Duke Yucheng and Meng Anggong, if other things were changed, or under other circumstances, Ziying would definitely be able to suppress these warriors, but now, these warriors have reached this point, and they don't believe in our cabinet at all. , or they don’t believe us civil servants. Haven’t you heard them keep shouting that the imperial court is a dead dog? They believe that the imperial court would rather disarm than use them to fight Mongolia. They say that dozens of people were killed in the battle against Mongolia. Ten thousand people still have to be given pensions, but hundreds of thousands are laid off, and even the settlement allowance can be divided into several years. Do you think that under this situation, they will believe a few words from a certain person?"
Lian Guoshi's tone was very calm, "I think this is probably the only reason why they called for Ziying to be the emperor, right? Because Ziying is a civil servant with a scholar background like us. Although he promoted them and was kind to them, Ziying's identity is still a scholar and civil servant. Even though their opinions are different, they are still one in the end. They are not stupid, so they insist on recommending Ziying as emperor, because they know that only when Ziying becomes emperor can change be possible. Only in this way can I think about warriors like them from a different perspective..." ˜˜˜Every sentence is so sharp and profound, ruthlessly stripping away the truest connotation. In fact, the people here are... Who doesn't understand this truth? At least the important officials understand it.
Feng Ziying is now a scholar and civil servant, so it is impossible for her to deviate from this group. Only by losing her status as a scholar and civil servant and becoming an emperor can she consider the thoughts and interests of the military people from the highest point.
The current Emperor Xuan Shun has actually lost this power and prestige, so he cannot bear this responsibility. This is why the warriors can only choose to change the dynasty, otherwise they will really have no choice but to kill randomly and completely return to the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Gone are the chaotic times of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms when warriors ruled the country.
“Who came up with this idea for them?” Sun Juxiang gritted his teeth.
"Who knows? There are many smart people in the world, and there are also many people who want to take advantage of the fire." Lian Guoshi said calmly.
“It’s either Wang Ziteng or Niu Jizong!” someone immediately said.
“Maybe he is Liu Ji Gong.” Someone else suddenly said this from hiding in the crowd.
Everyone was in an uproar.
Not to mention the possibility of the two Ox Kings, it is also possible that Gu Bingqian stepped down in despair and is still lingering in the capital.
The two Ox Kings have always hoped to restore their status as warriors, but Gu Bingqian was unwilling to return home in such a state of disgrace. Only by overturning the situation in the court could they have a chance.
The establishment of a new dynasty is the best and most thorough method.
“Then what you mean is that Ziying may have to...” Chai Ke was silent for a long time before asking.
"Brother Zishu, you shouldn't ask me this question, and I don't have an answer. It's difficult for us to judge Ziying's character, but Ziying also has a large family. These warriors have reached this stage now, and I'm afraid they have no answers. We have a way out. If they don't get what they want, I'm afraid they can do anything." Lian Guoshi shook his head.
Everyone now has to consider facing this reality.
What Lian Guoshi said is right. Now the group of people who entered Beijing have no way out. They must achieve their desired goal, let Feng Ziying ascend the throne as emperor, then pardon their sins, and then use Feng Ziying to disarmament and the policy of conquest of Mongolia. differences to promote a war against Mongolia and avoid disarmament.
In this way, they can account for the brothers who stayed in various places. Otherwise, they will only pardon them, but the brothers who stayed in various places will still be laid off. That will lead to chaos and lose the meaning of the trip to the capital. .
Cui Jingrong, Chai Ke, and Xu Guangqi exchanged knowing glances and walked aside: "In this current situation, I estimate that Ziying will be kidnapped by the gang of warriors. How do you think you will deal with it? And no matter how Ziying is, it won't matter. What is Ying's attitude? I guess the warriors will force us all to express our stance one by one. Our families and children are all in the capital. Now the capital is completely controlled by them. If we say how many people have righteousness in their hearts and do not care about the children at home, I I find it difficult to do.”
What Cui Jingrong said is true. Although all scholars must be powerful and unyielding, how many people can withstand it if it really falls on him?
Ha
When these warriors are desperate, they may really have to kill people to establish their authority, otherwise the next step will be their own heads, so this is all forced.
Chai Ke and Xu Guangqi also found it difficult. Even if they could handle it, what about the other civil servants? I'm afraid no one would risk their lives to test whether warriors dare to actually kill someone.
