The outside of the Daming Gate is now full of people, and more and more scholars are coming from all directions. The outside of the Meridian Gate is quite good, after all, people without fame can't get in. There are no less than a thousand people gathered in Tianzhen Square.

.

"What do they want to do?" Li Xiao's temples jumped.

"Someone wants to take the opportunity to cause trouble, hey...!

The rain is about to come!" Sun Chengzong sighed. In the past few days, the Ming Dynasty was resting and recuperating. Internally, it distributed land to powerful and wealthy households so that cultivators could have their own fields. Externally, it expanded its borders and expanded its borders to Xinjiapo, thousands of miles away.

, which gave great protection to the maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty. With the prosperity of maritime commerce, the industrial products of the Ming Dynasty were sold overseas, and the huge profits fed back the industry of the Ming Dynasty.

More and more people are working in factories, and various industrial categories are booming. Industry drives scientific and technological progress, and Daming Technology stands on top of the world.

Society continues to be stable, and people's lives are gradually improving. The Ming Dynasty has shown signs of a strong renaissance. But this crisis, if not handled well, can cause turmoil in the world. The hard work of the past few days will be ruined, and the Ming Dynasty will

plunged into nationwide turmoil.

At that time, even if the chaos is stabilized, the cost will be extremely high.

"Then let the storm come more violently. Only when the debris rises will the underwater things appear." Li Xiao clenched his fists.

Hearing Li Xiao's words, Sun Chengzong glanced at Li Xiao in shock. Then he closed his eyes: "A temporary chaos is better than a chaotic life. Looking back a hundred years later, maybe you are right. But think about what the history books of future generations will write.

You, do you really want to bear this eternal infamy?"

"Every generation has its own historical mission. God sent me to this era to lay a century-old foundation for China. In order for the Chinese civilization to continue better, I will not hesitate to be infamy for thousands of years after my death.

"Li Xiao's forehead veins were exposed. It was very difficult to make this decision, but Li Xiao still gritted his teeth and made it.

He knew what it would mean once he made this decision! Those historians with pens in their hands would never show mercy to him. One incident would become a stain on his life's achievements. Those rotten scholars in later generations would hold on to this decision with all their might.

He attacked Li Xiao on this matter and vowed not to give up until he made Li Xiao notorious for thousands of years.

"It will last forever!" Sun Chengzong chewed these words and suddenly opened his eyes: "Count me in."

"Mr. Sun...you!" Li Xiao was surprised. Sun Chengzong had not spoken to Li Xiao for several days because of the emperor's assassination.

"In our position, suspicion is the most important thing, but it is also the most important thing. Forgive me for being suspicious of you these days, even if some of your subordinates have selfish desires. You! Li Xiao! You can still be said to be dedicated to the public good!

I will not favor anyone, all I can do is, whoever does things that are beneficial to the Chinese nation, I will stand by his side. For the inheritance of the nation, for the Chinese nation to stand firm among the nations of the world. Why am I so rare?

A complete honor and disgrace!"

There is no longer any sign of the number of people in front of the Meridian Gate. After all, there are only so many people in the Imperial College. Outside the Meridian Gate, there are more and more people in the square. More and more people are crossing the Daming Gate and kneeling in the fields.

On the square.

"Go! Go down and ask them what they want and why they are gathered here." Sun Chengzong pointed down and ordered. Lu Xiangsheng could only walk on with a grimace. He had no choice but to let Lu Xiangsheng be the Prime Minister of Dali Temple. As the highest person in the world

As the head of the Judicial Yamen, it is in line with the rules to take care of this matter.

He bravely walked through the afternoon gate and came to Yao Mengxi. "Mr. Yao, what are you doing this for? You can't just kneel down like this. The court still doesn't know why you are kneeling!"

"Finally, a hawk came out. Here is my letter called "The Ten Crimes of Prosecution against Traitors of the Country." If you don't like it, you can burn it with fire. But I tell you, I have ordered someone to copy this memorial.

There are tens of millions of them, widely distributed in the markets. I just want to expose to the people of the world you, the national traitors who are causing harm to the country and the people.

What! Not satisfied? I am an old man here, please take it!" After saying that, Yao Mengxi held the hair on the back of his neck, exposed his own neck and asked Lu Xiangsheng to remove the knife.

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't laugh or cry! I haven't read this memorial yet, I will kill you.

Yao Mengxi's show immediately caused a cry of grief. The students of the Imperial College stood in front of Yao Mengxi, shouting loudly that they would kill them and not touch their teacher. If they dared to lay a finger on Yao Mengxi, they would fight with you and so on.

language.

Lu Xiangsheng took the memorial with a stern face, put it in his sleeve and entered the Meridian Gate. Only a devil would be willing to tangle with you guys. Although Lu Xiangsheng was also from the imperial examination. But from what he has seen and heard over the years, he also knew that he wanted to save the Ming Dynasty.

The policies formulated by Xiao are correct.

If nothing else, let’s just say that the Ming Dynasty is now at peace in the world and its troops are strong and tyrannical. Shandong, Henan, and Shanxi, places that often suffer from famines, not only do they not suffer from famines now, they even have surplus grain that can be provided to other provinces.

This was unimaginable during the reign of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. The quantity and price in the north were stable, and the court's grain no longer needed to be transported north through the canal. This greatly eased the pressure on the south, and the formerly poor provinces of Jiangsu, northern Jiangsu, Anhui, etc.

Gradually become rich.

Even Fujian, which was impoverished because of its many mountains and little land, became rich because of its large number of maritime merchants.

These guys turned a blind eye to the changes in the Ming Dynasty. They only saw that the interests of their scholars were violated. The gentry with a good reputation no longer enjoyed the imperial tax-free policy. At the same time, the head tax that had been implemented in the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years was changed to

Land tax. This tax is severely imposed on those scholars who usually rely on their fame and reputation to pay no taxes.

Not to mention, the mining tax! The salt tax... everything has been removed from the common people and transferred to the heads of scholars.

For the sake of a few stinky money, they don't care about being polite and respectable, and they are the scholars now. If others don't say it, they say that Yao Mengxi has no less than 500 hectares of land in the south of the Yangtze River.

A bunch of greedy worms! This is what Lu Xiangsheng said about these people!

"From today onwards, I and my disciples will go on a hunger strike here. If the imperial court does not agree to eradicate the traitors and restore the ancestral system, I and my disciples will not eat." When the Meridian Gate was closed, Lu Xiangsheng heard Yao Mengxi's broken voice.

Roar.

Love you to death!

Lu Xiangsheng said something in his heart, climbed onto the morning gate tower with a dull expression, bowed and presented the memorial to Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong opened the memorial and read it carefully.

It can be seen that it was written by Yao Mengxi himself, and the colorful flowers written in a bullet are also extremely ridiculous.

Because the first article of the bullet is to capture Li Xiao, the regicide imperial convict, and his head will be held in front of the Meridian Gate to pay homage to the late emperor’s spirit in heaven.

He glanced at Li Xiu, who was looking at him eagerly, and the Liao soldiers with big guns on the tower. If he really dared to arrest Li Xiao, a river of blood would immediately flow in front of the Meridian Gate. Even if he killed everyone in the capital, Li Xiu would still kill him.

Li Xiao got it out.

The millions of Liao troops in the country were all under the control of Li Xiao. If Li Xiao was killed, wouldn't the Ming Dynasty start the pot?

"Let's take a look. The first one is to hang your head in front of the Meridian Gate." Sun Chengzong smiled bitterly and handed the memorial to Li Xiao.

"What a bastard! I'll kill him...!" The angry Li Xiu was pulled back by Li Xiao.

"From today on, you are not allowed to take an inch beside me." Li Xiao knew that Li Xiu was still young after all, and was afraid that he would ruin things on impulse. It was not important to calm down the matter, but to bring out the person behind the scenes.

Only by catching the people behind the scenes can we remove the roots. Otherwise, the roots will always be rooted in the soil, and there is no guarantee that one day they will emerge again. Simply responding to this is very passive.

The memorial was handed over, but it made no sound like a mud cow entering the sea.

Yao Mengxi is also a tough guy, uh... a tough old man. He literally sat in front of the Meridian Gate and ate nothing, and started a hunger strike.

Li Xiao sat upright in the Wuying Hall, this time with Sun Chengzong and Zhang Huangyan beside him. Opposite the three people was the sweaty Jin Yiwei Commander Luo Yangxing.

"Three days are up, you should tell me. What happened to the assassination of Long Live?" Li Xiao leaned on the chair and asked Luo Yangxing coldly. If Luo Yangxing can't give him a satisfactory answer today, what will happen to the Ming Dynasty two hundred years ago?

The Jin Yiwei for many years will officially become history.

"Commander Qi! Mr. Sun! Mr. Zhang!

It has been found out that the murderer Chen San is a team leader in the Beijing camp. This guy gambles badly and loses a lot of money. People often come to collect debts on weekdays, and his wife and children have disappeared. "

"You made such a mistake in three days?" Zhang Huangyan looked at Luo Yangxing in surprise. They all said that Jin Yi Tiqi was unparalleled in the world. How could you find out such a clue in three days?

"Reporting to Mr. Zhang, I, Jin Yiwei, have also found out that several businessmen from the northwest have been closely socializing with Chen San recently. We also found out that one of them was in a restaurant, and Chen San said after drinking that he wanted to do something earth-shattering.

Tracking those northwest merchants, we found that two of them were Mongolians. The day before Long Live was assassinated, those northwest merchants and the Mongolians disappeared. Now Jin Yiwei has chased to the northwest. I believe it will take a few days.

There must be something captured.

Based on the above information, I feel that the Mongols bribed Chen San to assassinate Long Live."

After Luo Yangxing finished speaking, everyone in the room fell silent.

Everyone cursed Jin Yiwei for being shameless, and Chen San was just a nobody to put it bluntly. But Luo Yangxing insisted on linking him with the Mongols. Currently, the only neighboring country that is at war with the Ming Dynasty is Mongolia.

With the front lines in a state of chaos, it would make sense to send assassins to the capital to kill the king. But the question is, will the people in the world believe this?

There are no witnesses and no physical evidence. Who will believe it if you just say it with empty teeth?

"Is there nothing else?" Sun Chengzong asked helplessly. It seems that Jin Yiwei has been away from the capital for several years, and his abilities are not as good as before.

"As long as those merchants and Mongolians are captured, I believe the truth will be revealed to the world." Luo Yangxing bowed and said.

"Okay! We understand, let's get down!" Li Xiao waved his hand helplessly. The most important thing now is not dealing with the Jin Yiwei.

"Mongols! This makes sense. Why don't we just reveal it like this? Tomorrow let the newspapers have the same tone and blame the Mongols. Anyway, Mongolia and us are at war!" Li Xiu said something.

Li Xiao, Zhang Huangyan, and Sun Chengzong didn't say anything. Li Xiu said it was a feasible plan. If he wanted "evidence", I believe Jin Yiwei would find it soon, including witnesses and physical evidence.

"This matter is not important. What is important is what to do with the students who are on hunger strike in front of the Meridian Gate and in Tianzheng Square. There are already people moving around in the capital, and some even want to instigate rebellion against the capital camp. This morning,

There were only a dozen people detained in the Beijing camp."

"The common people also spontaneously gave them food, but those things were piled up in the square and no one moved them. I am afraid that the people in the capital will follow suit, and governors and princes from all over the country will come to the capital tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. If someone takes the opportunity to cause trouble, things will happen

Its development is difficult to control.”

"Some people are constantly spreading rumors on the streets to incite the people, saying that the students are asking for help for the people, hoping that the government will punish corruption and reduce taxes. Many people believe it, and the number of people taking to the streets is increasing, and they are fighting against the military and military personnel.

Things happen.”

"In order to show the court's sincerity, we can open the Meridian Gate to have a dialogue with Yao Mengxi and resolve this matter peacefully." A smile appeared on Li Xiao's lips.

"Can you still laugh at this time?"

"Peaceful dialogue? Will Yao Mengxi agree?"
