lady, please calm down

Chapter 310

It’s the fourth day of May, sunny and sunny.

Early in the morning, more than [-] students from more than ten public schools and private schools, including Lanxiang Academy, Caizhou Official School, and Guanshi Clan Academy, gathered at the intersection of Yaqian Street in Caizhou.

As one of the initiators and organizers of the parade, Chen Yinglang and several other scholar leaders finally confirmed the parade route and precautions. When they turned around, they saw a group of junior high school students sneaking into the parade. .

They were young, so in order to avoid any accidents, Chen Yingjun deliberately drove forward with a dark face and said: "Why are you here to join in the fun? Go back quickly."

The leaders Wu Yanzu and Peng Yuyan shrank their necks and did not dare to talk back.

But the girls on the side started shouting, "Brother Yinglang, how can you say that we are just joining in the fun! We are part of the school, so naturally we have to contribute!"

The first one to speak was Zhao Renren's sister Hutou, followed immediately by Commander Wu's daughter Wu Junru: "People say women can hold up half the sky! Does Senior Chen look down on women in the world?"

"That's right! Why do seniors look down on women!"

A group of teenage girls denounced Chen Yinglang.

Chen Yinglang was a good man, but he just asked them to go back to class, but in their words, he looked down on women!
Chen Yinglang was given a headache by the fuss. He glanced around and found Xiaoman, the maid of the Hou Mansion, following Hutou and the others, and felt relieved.

It is said that this Xiaoman was an orphan girl who was rescued by the marquis from thieves a few years ago. She studied under two famous teachers, Zheng Shen Tiedan and Hou Fu Keqing Dabaojian.

Although few people have seen Xiaoman take action, it is rumored that even three or four big men can't get any advantage from her.

"You guys, don't get too far ahead, and pay attention to your safety, got it?"

After Chen Yinglang gave instructions, it was up to them.

Upon hearing this, several people laughed. The boy bowed his hands in thanks, and the girl bowed and saluted. They were all children who knew how to be polite.

In the middle of the morning, a team of more than 300 people marched towards the post house.

On the banner erected in front, it is written: Abolish the search and severely punish the national traitors!
As for who the national traitors are, it is self-evident based on their route of travel.

When the people along the way saw this strange scene, they stopped and applauded, and even young people who wanted to do something good followed the team.

After the Caizhou Five-Day Talk revealed the truth about "Xunfang", any person with normal views would feel humiliated, and then worry about whose family has no wife and daughter?
What if one day my wife and daughter are spotted by someone who is looking for me?

If this evil government is not eliminated, the people will feel uneasy.

Ordinary people dare not question state affairs or protest against officials, but students and scholars can!

In the past, Zhou Guo's three scholars were kind to the scholars, but political inertia forced Qi to continue to treat scholars well.

It is normal for these people to complain and criticize the imperial court.
Two-quarters of an hour later, the team marched to their destination, the post house.

Outside the post house, there was already a crowd of people around.

Seeing the arrival of the scholars, the people took the initiative to get out of the way.

They believe that only scholars are qualified to criticize the ills of the times; scholars also think so
For a time, the outside of the post house became a stage for scholars.

First, Zhu Chun stepped forward and asked Wu Weiguang to meet him in person and listen to the voices from the people.

After waiting for a long time and seeing no one, Zhu Chun simply jumped on the Shangma Stone in front of the post house and loudly denounced the shameful policy of 'searching for visitors'.

Policies originated from the court, and the emperor was the symbol of the Qi court.

The majesty of the Lord of Heaven and Earth as his father-in-law is not in vain. Even though many people do not respect Liu Yu, who won the country unfairly, they dare not directly accuse the Lord.

The wise saint must have been deceived by the traitor!

"Half of the royal family, they have no regard for the country's justice, they are mediocre officials and evil officials, and they don't care about the sufferings of the people! They wholeheartedly flatter foreigners and strive to be the people who suck carbuncle and lick hemorrhoids! This is intolerable. Today, we, the scholars of Caizhou, I am here to cry out, please Your Majesty, kill the traitors of the country and return our great Qi to a bright and prosperous world!"

Under the adoring eyes of the onlookers, Zhu Chun cursed more and more vehemently. He felt that he could no longer express his indignation with words. He suddenly waved his hand and shouted to the scholars below: "Fellow students! Follow me into the library to catch the thief!"

This shout seemed to light a fuse, and the scholars, who had already been excited, rushed toward the post house like a flood from a broken embankment.

Caizhou's yamen officer, who was responsible for maintaining order outside, saw that the situation was not good and decisively left.
They left cleanly, but Wu Weiguang, Sun Changhao and others in the post house had nowhere to escape.

Fortunately, there are still more than a hundred people accompanying Prince Lu in the post house.

However, Wu Weiguang knew very well not to make this matter a big deal, and had already taken away the weapons of the pro-army sergeants in advance to prevent any loss of life.

So, around [-]:[-] in the morning of May [-]th, the scholars and the sergeants who had been waiting for them met head on in the front yard of the post house.

When it comes to fighting, a scholar is naturally inferior to a sergeant, but the latter has been repeatedly ordered not to strike hard, which makes him timid.

The former was full of passion and needed to be vented, and he had the numerical advantage, so the two sides were evenly matched.

A quarter of an hour later, the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion dispatched his own barracks to suppress both sides of the conflict.

Afterwards, statistics showed that dozens of soldiers and soldiers were injured.

This matter can be big or small, and how to determine it becomes the key.

This group of troublemaking scholars could be Meng Lang's disciples who "relied on the country's good treatment of scholars and violated the ban through literature", or they could be loyal people who "asked for orders for the country and spoke out for the people."

Wu Weiguang knew that the Caizhou government office would not turn against him, so he wrote a note that day and sent someone to send it to Tokyo urgently. As long as the imperial court issued a decree to deal with the scholars, there would be no need to argue about who was right and who was wrong in this matter.

The official attitude still has a great influence on the people.

But no matter how fast he is, he is still not as fast as the local Caizhou Wuritan.

The next day, the fifth day of May.

The Five-Day Talk devoted two pages to detailing the causes and consequences of the May [-]th Incident. After praising the scholars for their lofty ambition to "take the world as their own responsibility," it also questioned why Wu Shangshu, who was in the temple, did not act before the incident. Willing to meet scholars!

After Wu Weiguang read the newspaper, he was very angry. In the situation yesterday, if he dared to walk out of the post house to meet the scholars, he would probably be torn apart by those enthusiastic young people on the spot!

How can state affairs be judged by simple "honor and disgrace"?Nowadays, the northwest of Daqi is unstable and there is a big enemy in the south.If you don't have a good relationship with the Kingdom of Jin, how can you secure half of the country?

Wu Weiguang has his own rhetoric, but in such a big city as Caizhou, there is no platform for him to speak out.

In the battle for public opinion power, quick response is also a major advantage.

Today, the Five-Day Talk has been distributed in seven or eight cities.

The resistance of Caizhou scholars, through positive publicity in newspapers, attracted scholars from other states to be eager to try.Among them, the scholars in Xiangcheng County, Chenzhou, northeast of Caizhou, responded most quickly.

Two months ago, the new Caizhou magistrate Mo Shaohong died in Xiangcheng.

As the place where the incident occurred, Xiangcheng was naturally regarded as a key investigation area. Nearly half of the middle and low-level officials from the Ministry of Justice, Yushitai, and Dali Temple in Tokyo City stayed here.

The chief official Wu Weiguang went to Caizhou early. These officials from the capital finally got there, and they were not restrained by the superior officials, so they started to make money freely.

They often use pro-military forces to arrest people randomly under the pretext of being suspected of being water thieves. Do you want to clear away the suspicion?Then we have to see how 'sincerity' the family members are.
At first, they only targeted those peasants who had no basic power.

But how many ounces of oil can these people with small land squeeze out even if they are flattened?

The unsatisfied officials in the capital slowly began to attack small and medium-sized landowners and merchants. Up to now, almost all families with some wealth in Xiangcheng County have been blackmailed.

The people of Xiangcheng complained a lot, but the magistrate of Xiangcheng was already imprisoned because of Mo Shaohong.Even the prefect of Chenzhou did not dare to offend these hungry tigers and eagles, for fear that he would be used as a scapegoat.

With no way to appeal, the people of Xiangcheng had no choice but to pray to the gods and Buddhas in the sky for these officials to return to the capital as soon as possible.

It was under such circumstances that the news of the Caizhou scholars' struggle for the people spread to Xiangcheng County
There were many scholars in the houses of small and medium-sized landowners and merchants. Seeing the extraordinary momentum of the commotion next door, they immediately organized themselves.

On the sixth day of the fifth lunar month, scholars and scholars within a thirty-mile radius of Xiangcheng gathered together to replicate what the scholars of Caizhou had done. Even the banners were the same: "Abolish search visits and severely punish national traitors."
At about six o'clock that day, more than 100 people surrounded the residence of Sanya Jingguan.

They had the courage of the scholars in Caizhou, but the middle and low-level officials stationed in Xiangcheng did not have the confidence of Wu Shangshu. The latter panicked when he saw the words "severely punish national traitors" and immediately ordered the escort to disperse the scholars. Seize that scary banner.

The scholars in Xiangcheng knew that this process was the same in Caizhou. The scholars became famous precisely because they fought with vulgar soldiers!
Classmates, come on shoulder to shoulder!
But they ignored a key issue. The Sanya officials present did not warn the pro-army troops in advance, nor did they collect the weapons of the sergeants in advance.
In the past two months, the scholars' families have been constantly annoyed by these bird officials, and they naturally lost all their strength in anger.

The pro-soldiers had been on a business trip for two months, and they were equally filled with resentment as they watched these adults earn money and earn money without having a penny of their own.
Both sides have their own hatreds, and they quickly got really angry after they started fighting.

So, what started out as a small demonstration to express dissatisfaction with Caizhou's fireworks industry, fermented for more than half a month and ten days, and finally led to a tragedy.

On May [-]th, Xiangcheng scholars petitioned for orders for their country and clashed with King Lu's troops. Nine people were killed on the spot and dozens were injured.

When the news came, Huaibei was shocked and the whole world was shocked.
On the eighth day of May, the Caizhou Five-Day Talks took the lead in firing, angrily denounced the Xiangcheng incident as harmful to the country, and demanded that the court severely punish the officials and pro-military officials involved!
Not killing is not enough to anger the people!

On this matter, it is hard to criticize the imperial court enough in the Five-day Talk. During the Yi Dynasty, it became a patriarchal tradition for the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats to rule the world together.

The same was true during the Qi Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty.

In short, today's scholars are recognized by the world as being special, and giving preferential treatment to scholars is absolutely politically correct.

But the scholar who was the seed for reading was actually beaten to death by officials and pro-soldiers in broad daylight!

Is there any more heavenly justice and no more royal law?
On the ninth day of May, Chen Jing'an, a famous scholar of the Chen family in Yingchuan, published a signed article with a very scary title: Who is the master of the world in today's world!
This is both a title and a question.

The scholar-bureaucrats naturally have the exact answer in their minds. No matter who is sitting on the throne, the world will always belong to the scholars!
However, Chen Jingyan cleverly directed the conflict to the pro-army forces who took action. The pro-army forces belong to King Lu, and you have nothing to do with this matter.

By extension, King Lu has not yet ascended the throne, and has already regarded the scholars as nothing. When you ascend the throne, will we, the Daqi scholars, still have a way to survive?
Subsequently, Han Fang and Dong Xi, the nominal experts of Caizhou Institute of Liberal Arts, spoke out one after another. Naturally, they did not dare to criticize Huai like Chen Jingan, but they also clearly showed their support for scholars.

They are called great scholars, but in fact they are the spokespersons of the scholar-bureaucrats in the wild. If they do not speak out about this matter, they will definitely cause dissatisfaction among their own people.

With the demonstration effect of the three of them, celebrities and scholars from all over the world joined the condemnation army willingly or forcedly.
Even the newspapers of the neighboring Zhou Dynasty joined in the fun and criticized the Qi Dynasty's court in order to win over the hearts of the gentry and officials in the North and disrupt the hearts of the soldiers and civilians of the Qi Kingdom.

For a time, public opinion in the world was boiling.

The situation developed so fast and dizzyingly that some people in high positions were keenly aware that this matter was not like an emergency, but more like a force hidden in the dark that had already planned and fueled the situation.
At the same time, the scholar Caizhou, who was the initiator of the incident, was also not idle.

As early as the eighth day of May, the third day after the Xiangcheng incident, hundreds of people including Chen Yinglang, Zhu Chun, Guan Yunchao, etc. jointly published a "Letter to Huaibei Classmates" on the [-]th day of May in Caizhou.

'In this troubled autumn of the country, the tragedy of Xiangcheng is shocking. Confucius said that he became a benevolent, and Mencius said that he would take justice. But when you see injustice, why bother to be seven feet tall!I, three hundred scholars from Caizhou, will go to Xiangcheng today to support my classmates!We have read poetry and books for more than ten years, and we are benevolent and righteous, now! '

As soon as this article came out, it was like an appeal against thieves, and all the scholars in various prefectures were moved by the wind.

In Bozhou and Xuzhou, which are close to Chenzhou, as well as Tang, Cai, Ying, Shou, Su and other state capitals in Huaibei, official schools went on strike, private schools closed down, and scholars who were either enthusiastic or following the trend called their friends. People are flocking to Little Xiangcheng from all directions.
On the way, Sitong Passenger Transport, which has business outlets all over Huaibei, once met the scholars who went to support Xiangcheng, waived the travel tickets and provided meals.

A simple and trivial matter made the scholars more convinced of the justice of what they were doing. You see, even the profit-seeking merchants had to support us when they heard about our deeds!
We, our generation, support justice and are welcomed by everyone!
A carnival in the name of "righteousness and passion" came quietly.

After the prefect of Chenzhou realized something was wrong, he immediately asked the court for instructions on how to deal with it.
However, Chen Zhou's trip to Tokyo took at least five or six days, and in such a hurry, the court had not yet been able to come up with a charter, so it was naturally impossible to give Chen Zhou accurate instructions in time.
On the ninth day of May, nearly a thousand people from the neighboring state capital gathered outside Xiangcheng.

In a fit of anger, there is no shortage of book-selling scholars who have walked hundreds of miles, but with such a large population gathering, food, drink, and housing are big problems that cannot be solved by blood alone.

Fortunately, enthusiastic non-governmental organizations such as the Caizhou Newspaper Development Promotion Foundation and the Caizhou Student Federation have already sent people to build campsites and water sources in advance.
Just move in with your bags!

More than a considerate person
By the tenth day of the lunar month, more than [-] students had gathered in Xiangcheng County.

On the same day, the imperial court's decree to the prefect of Chenzhou was finally delivered.

The big shots in the court also know that it is really difficult to handle this group of scholars who cannot be beaten or scolded now that the world is focused on them.

In order to avoid being blamed for improper handling, the imperial court's order to the prefect of Chenzhou only contained a few words: disperse within a time limit and handle it properly.
"I'll take care of your mother!"

The prefect of Chenzhou cursed his mother in anger, how to disperse him?How to consider it appropriate?
It was obvious that the imperial court did not want to offend the scholars of the world, so it only gave him a vague order. If it was not handled properly, he, the prefect, would naturally take the blame.

Angry as hell, but things still need to be done, otherwise, he will bear the blame.

In desperation, the prefect of Chenzhou made a desperate move and urgently recruited local troops and county people to surround the camp with strong soldiers and soldiers, hoping to intimidate them, and then put a low profile into the camp in person to persuade the soldiers to retreat.

On May [-], the camp was surrounded.

The scholars couldn't help but become nervous and quickly divided into two groups. One group believed that it should be stopped in moderation to avoid damage.

The other faction believes that they should persist to the end and wait until Xiangcheng scholars are vindicated before dispersing. Otherwise, they will be ridiculed by the world for their labor and efforts.

On May [-], just as the two parties were arguing, Caizhou Five Days Talk suddenly published another article.

Huaibei Jiedushi and Lu Anhou, who have never expressed their stance on Xiangcheng in recent days, have spoken out.

'The incident in Xiangcheng has cause and effect. Thousands of scholars gathered in Xiangcheng for no other reason than to 'justify people's hearts', but the government of Chenzhou sent troops to besiege it?
Although I have no right to interfere in local political affairs, I still want to ask as a citizen of Daqi, what does the Chenzhou government want?
Scholars are the foundation of the country. Anyone who dares to damage them is an enemy of our great Qi!

I have something to say that all the civil and military officials in Chenzhou should keep in mind: Whoever dares to harm the life of a scholar will have his head taken from his neck, don’t say it was unforeseen! '

As soon as the newspaper came out, the scholars gathered in Xiangcheng immediately felt their hearts in their stomachs.
Then play music and then dance.
With Marquis Lu An supporting us, we are still very afraid!

Keep up the fucking fuss!
