Eight hundred and eighty-four chapters(1/2)
Gao Huai and Xiao Shengguang were dumbfounded when they watched, and they couldn't believe what happened in front of them. What was this?
This is a joint letter from officials in Henan Province!
Not long ago, these people were almost arrested by the emperor because of greed, but why could they be so quickly plead for the people?
This was something that no one expected. The Henan officials who discussed the discussion of Lu Wang's vassal will eventually turn into Ma Yu's murder. All Henan officials impeached Ma Yu and asked Lu Wang to vassal to simplify the matter.
There were tremendous changes in the second hall, but the people outside the hall knew nothing.
The governor's yamen, the governor's office, the chief followers of other officials, officials, and some miscellaneous officials who are not qualified to enter the halls, all took shelter from the house outside the second hall.
The entourage house of the governor's yamen is not spacious at all.
This time, so many officials came again. There were twenty or thirty people piled up in each house, which was inevitably a little crowded. There were often several officials' escorts staying in the house.
It was the coldest time of winter, and the weather was cold and the ground was freezing.
The subordinates of the governor's yamen also have the style of a ninth-rank official. At least the tea will not be available, and the fire will not be hot enough.
After these, the officials could only squeeze in one place, beside the stove, make a pot of water, put it on the stove, and burn it. As for the tea, they could take it and sprinkle it into the pot.
The cold wind outside was blowing, and everyone looked at the sky outside and started chatting.
"This episode today is a choking question!"
"Yes, it's not long before the men come out yet, we will all freeze to death."
"Don't complain. We still have a sip of warm tea here. It will be difficult for us after today, let alone the people of Henan."
He spoke as a governor, but he was only the eighth rank. In terms of status, he was not even the turn of standing by the door of the second hall. He would at least start as a seventh rank magistrate.
But here he speaks very well.
An official inquired to him: "I heard that something big happened today?"
The governor laughed and put his hand close to the stove to warm it, but did not speak. The Changsui immediately picked up the teapot and brewed the teapot for the photo, and said with a compliment: "I would like to ask the master, what's the point of this episode today?"
After taking a sip of the tea, he seemed to feel a little warm. He frowned and put the tea aside and said, "What kind of stove is this... it's good. Tell me about it. When your master comes out, you will be quick and clever. If you make your master unhappy, you will be scolded for being a little bit small. If you treat it as annoyed by the master, you will lose your job."
"I dare to ask what's so serious about it?"
"It's not that eunuch... the palace comes... and the matter is about the feudal affairs. The court is overthrowing the province and the province is overthrowing the government. You masters are arrested today and listen to the scolding. After scolding, you are obedient and you have to give errands, but you are disobedient..."
The attendant said suspiciously, "Why do you want to hit the board?"
Zhaomo laughed and scolded: "It is the emperor's right to beat the board. It's not enough for those who come from the palace, but those who come from the palace are very stylish after all, so it's okay to take off your master's black hat. Others come from Henan to seek wealth, so I don't need to say much about how to ask for it. You all see it."
"The second thing is to do errands. The princes of Henan are crowded together, and Lu is going to get into another trick. They are the younger brother of the current emperor and the heart of the Empress Dowager Cisheng is so sharp that they must not be missing. How much money do you think you need? What, hundreds of thousands of taels? That's to send beggars, who deserve the honor of Lu Wang..."
"...The plates in Henan are so big, what should I do if I don't have enough? I have to go to the people to grab them. The people in Henan are so poor that they are almost begging for food. If you master had the ability to grab them, they would have snatched them long ago. What should I do if I couldn't grab them?"
The follower smiled and said, "If you can't grab it, you have to grab it."
As soon as these words came out, the photo laughed, and everyone in the hall laughed too.
But in the end the laughter slowly turned into a bitter smile.
The water on the teapot boiled, but no one had the heart to mention it.
Zhaoma sighed: "It is not easy for us to be an official. Those with a little conscience will not do this. But there is no way. Who has no wife and children in the family who have won the fame and fortune after ten years of hard work! In order to make you men 'even if you can't get it, you have to rob', then those who come from the palace must establish authority. Establishing authority is to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, and killing the chicken to warn the monkey will cause someone to be unlucky."
Everyone said, "Sir, you are very smart. After hearing what you said, we all understand."
All the followers discussed in private that they must act according to the opportunity later, so as not to be scolded.
Later, someone asked again: "Sir, are there any officials in Henan who are not afraid of losing their hats? Even if you say a few words of justice to the people."
"Yes, but not many. In fact, everyone doesn't want to make a cow or a horse for Lu Wang, but someone must pick this one, and of course there must be nods from the above, otherwise it will be a rock with an egg..."
While I was talking, I saw the door of the second hall open.
"It seems that there is a result...but this time is too early. Did something happen?" Zhaomo said suspiciously.
Just then, someone outside was shocked and said, "It's Lord Lin!"
"Which Lord Lin?"
"Zhuangyuan Gong!"
"It is the Tongzhi of Guide Mansion."
"What's wrong with Lord Lin? It's going to fall to this point..."
Zhaoma was in the recession seat in the north, unable to see the situation outside, and the eldest son of the house ran to inquire about the news.
After finally moving to the outside, I saw an official remove his black hat and be taken out of the second hall of the Governor's Office by two Governor's Model soldiers.
Zhaomo and Lin Yanchao met each other, and they were surprised to find each other, "What's going on? Apart from being a child today, who else dares to take off Lin Sanyuan's black hat?"
The attendant on the side also said, "Sir, I don't know how to do Sima Lin is just the one who is not afraid of losing his black hat?"
Zhaomo was stunned and said, "It must be so! Why did I forget that Lin Sanyuan offended King Lu when he was the public messenger of the world! This time it must be Ma Yu and the others taking the opportunity to take revenge!"
"So Sima Lin is asking for the people's orders. Has Ma Yu taken off his black hat?"
"Eight...ninety and ten!" Zhaoma sighed, and at some point the voice was already terrified.
Everyone squeezed to the corridor, but saw Lin Yanchao walking in the middle of the road.
Everyone had a guess in their hearts that Lin Yanchao must have been dismissed from office because he opposed Ma Yu and hindered Lu Wang from taking office.
The officials were talking.
"Why can't the court tolerate a few good officials who ask for their people?"
"This eunuch is too arrogant and arrogant! Not only did he hurt Prefect Fu before, he even arrested Sima Lin!"
"Lin Sanyuan has been banned. Which official in Henan dares to say a fair word or two!"
"It's really an injustice!"
"Speak quietly, if the people in the palace hear it, we can't even ask for it."
All the officials looked sad and drooped their feet and stamped their chests.
Most people are unfair for Lin Yanchao, thinking that the officialdom is really dark. Some people also secretly laughed at Lin Yanchao, who is overestimating his abilities and hitting stones with eggs.
Everyone knows that Ma Yu has the support of the emperor. Do you think you can still do the advice? The emperor needs shame and dare not openly make things difficult for the scholars and officials. But Eunuch Ma is from an internal supervisor and can do things shamelessly! You and him will not work if you follow the rules.
Hundreds of people watched, but Lin Yanchao was not anxious or impatient, and walked out the door with a calm expression.
At this time, the official who was respectful to Lin Yanchao stood up and bowed to Lin Yanchao.
"Mr. Lin!"
"Sima Lin!"
The cold wind blows on my face, and the geese sing sadly.
Lin Yanchao looked at the officials saluting him. He was stunned at first, and then he suddenly realized when he saw everyone's expressions.
He didn't say anything, but stopped and bowed to the officials present.
"Mr. Lin, take care of yourself!"
"Sima Lin..."
Lin Yanchao nodded, bowed seriously, and did not explain a word to himself before leaving.
Many officials had tears in their eyes and watched Lin Yanchao leave.
At this moment, the anger exploded among the officials.
"Sima Lin was taken down, so King Lu was about to vassalize Henan. What is the matter of Eunuch Ma saying? What the province agreed to?"
"As a court official, he cannot speak, who else can speak for the people?"
The quarrel continues. Although everyone is indignant, no one will really argue with Ma Yu. Lin Yanchao's role model is ahead.
As before, everyone just scolded and vented. When the orders above came down, the officials could only follow the instructions without saying a word.
After a long time, many officials had calmed down, and some officials turned back to the room. Such things were ordinary, but they would continue to be the ones that would continue to come tomorrow, and the officials would continue to be the ones.
Just as everyone was about to disperse, two officials walked out of the gate of the second hall with a stretcher.
The stretcher was covered with white cloth, and blood was dripping all the way!
At this moment, the officials were all angry and their anger was finally ignited.
It's outrageous!
Ma Yu injured Fu Zhiyuan and detained Lin Yanchao, but even beat an official to death in court!
Where is justice?
The officials surrounded the stretcher and asked the officers and soldiers carrying the stretcher: "Who is on this stretcher?"
The officer and soldier said in a daze: "I don't know this, I'll just ask us to lift it."
"Are people dead?"
"Well, I'm already exhausted, I've been beaten to death."
All the officials were angry at this moment and said angrily: "It's really lawless!"
To be continued...
