Seven hundred and ninetieth chapters arouse public anger
Cao Sheng thought that Li Yanqing would immediately lead his army to stop the Kaifeng government office from doing anything wrong, but Li Yanqing remained silent until dusk, tens of thousands of angry people rushed to Li Yanqing's official office under the leadership of Tai students Chen Dong and Jia Guan.
"President Li asked for it!"
"Please ask Duwei Li to make the decision for us!"
The people shouted outside the government office, Li Yanqing walked out, and he frowned, "What happened?"
An old man with a cane trembled and cried, "Dutong Li wants to make the decision for us!"
Li Yanqing hurriedly supported him, "Don't be sad, old man, I will definitely make the decision for everyone. Please tell me what happened first?"
"It's a sin! The government actually publicly robbed the people of the people. This is a shame for me, Dutong Li, you must come forward to stop it, no! You must punish them severely."
At this time, another old man next to him said, "It is said that the official promised to give 30,000 women and one million taels of gold to the golden man, including all the palace maids, Li Dutong, save those poor women!"
"Tong Li, save my daughter!" A middle-aged man burst into tears.
"Tong Li, save them!"
Tens of thousands of people knelt down one after another, with a spectacular momentum. Li Yanqing raised his hand and said loudly: "Please listen to me!"
The surroundings gradually became quiet, and Li Yanqing said loudly: "Those who are enemies with the people will be despised by the people. I have decided on this matter and will never allow the government to do whatever it takes. Please follow me!"
Li Yanqing walked towards the East Street, and hundreds of soldiers hurriedly followed behind him, with tens of thousands of people behind him. At the same time, Zhang Hu led 3,000 elite cavalry to surround the East Street first.
At this time, East Street was in chaos and chaos. Wang Shiyong and Xu Bingzhe adopted the method of sweeping the streets. Two thousand soldiers were blocked at both ends of the road, and hundreds of yamen runners began to force women from house to house to collect gold and silver.
More than twenty carriages were parked on the street. When a young woman was grabbed, she stuffed her into the carriage. One carriage could be stuffed with seven or eight people. After more than twenty carriages were filled, they would be sent into the palace. They started searching and robbing at noon and had snatched more than six thousand people. In addition to the palace maids, the total number was nearly ten thousand.
The leader of this incident was Wang Shiyong, the Minister of War. Wang Shiyong was originally Bai Shizhong's confidant. He was named the commander-in-chief of the palace and was in charge of the two thousand imperial guards in the front of the Zhizheng Hall. After Bai Shizhong was dismissed from prime minister, Wang Shiyong saved Geng Nanzhong's thigh in time.
Wang Shiyong received Geng Nanzhong's promise today that after completing the matter arranged by the official, he would take over any empty positions after Li's death, so Wang Shiyong worked very hard today.
The same is true for another leader, Xu Bingzhe, who was promised to take over as Sun Fu, and he was also active and worked hard.
"Yin Xu, this family is a widow, and there are three little ladies in the family." A Dibao pointed to a door and smiled flatteringly at Xu Bingzhe.
Xu Bingzhe waved his hand and several yamen runners walked up quickly.
"Open the door!"
The yamen runner knocked on the door hard, but no one paid attention to it. Xu Bingzhe was furious and ordered, "Breaking it open!"
More than a dozen yamen runners rushed up with a rushing wood, and with a loud bang, the door was knocked open, and dozens of yamen runners rushed in, and soon heard the cry of women. Three teenage girls were forcibly carried out by the yamen runners. They struggled and cried, but to no avail. A middle-aged woman behind them chased out in tears, "Put down my daughter!"
"Damn my dear woman, get back, or you will be taken away together!" Xu Bingzhe kicked the middle-aged woman to the ground.
At this moment, a riot came from afar. When Xu Bingzhe turned around, he saw dense crowds of people walking towards him. The thousand soldiers responsible for blocking the streets on the west did not dare to stop him, and rushed back here one after another.
Xu Bingzhe suddenly panicked and shouted: "Mr. Wang, order the army to stop them!"
Wang Shiyong was also a little panicked and said anxiously: "Soldiers gather and stop them!"
At this moment, a fierce sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded at the intersection on the west side, followed by crying and screaming. At this time, Zhang Hu led three thousand cavalry to kill and began to ruthlessly kill the thousand soldiers blocking the road.
Of course, this was an order issued by Li Yanqing. He had long wanted to deal with the two thousand soldiers controlled by Zhizhengtang. He originally wanted to disband the army, but since they followed Wang Shiyong to accomplice the tiger, Li Yanqing had murderous intentions.
Although these imperial guards in front of the hall are usually beautiful, they have not gone through actual combat. They are like a piece of decaying wood painted with oil on the outside. They collapsed immediately under the impact of the cavalry and ran towards this side with no life.
At this time, Xu Bingzhe suddenly saw Li Yanqing in front of the team. He was also a little scared and quickly ordered his men to put three girls. The three girls immediately ran to his mother, and the mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried bitterly.
"Li Shaobao, listen to my explanation!"
Xu Bingzhe hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and explained: "This matter has nothing to do with humble positions, humble positions are just executions."
Before he finished speaking, Li Yanqing shouted coldly, "You falsely pass the imperial edict and use the fake Shangfang Emperor's Sword to harm the people. If you have a crime of deceiving the emperor and harming the people, you should die!" After that, he pierced Xu Bingzhe's chest with a fierce sword. Xu Bingzhe shouted and died immediately. Li Yanqing then cut off his head and raised his head high. Tens of thousands of people were immediately filled with joy.
Wang Shiyong was so scared that he turned around and wanted to escape, but Zhang Hu rushed forward and grabbed his hair, dragged him to the ground, and picked him up.
"The Lord, there is one here!"
"Transfer it to the people!"
"President Li is lucky! Say life!"
Wang Shiyong begged desperately, but it was meaningless. Zhang Hu urged the horse to run for two steps and threw Wang Shiyong into the crowd, "Leave it to you to deal with it!"
The crowd dodged one after another, and with a 'boom!', Wang Shiyong fell heavily to the ground. The angry crowd rushed up and stepped forward. Wang Shiyong screamed continuously and his voice gradually disappeared.
At this time, another general led the cavalry to drive the yamen runners and some soldiers involved in robbing the civilian women to a dead end. Li Yanqing turned around and whispered to the people: "What to do with them, you can decide for yourself!
He led the soldiers to evacuate, and suddenly someone shouted, "Slay them to death with stones!"
Bricks and stones suddenly smashed into the alley like rainstorms. Hundreds of yamen runners and soldiers were desperate and were killed by tens of thousands of angry people. The bodies were finally hung high on the tree.
Geng Nanzhong was also very clear that forcing the people to recruit women and collect gold and silver would be hated by the people. He would not do such offending things, and it would be fine to leave them to Xu Bingzhe and Wang Shiyong. These two people were obsessed with profit and wanted to be prime ministers and make them work hard.
However, the performance of Xu Bingzhe and Wang Shiyong was quite satisfied. In just half a day, more than 6,000 girls were forced to recruit, plus more than 3,000 palace maids, nearly 10,000 people. Although gold was only collected, more than 100,000 taels of silver were collected, and only more than 700,000 taels of silver were collected. Only the number of women was tens of thousands, and more or less, they could pay the Golden Man.
But Geng Nanzhong was a little worried about another big thing, that is, Li Yanqing's handling. He already had a complete imperial edict in his hand, and removed all official positions of Li Yanqing for the crime of leading military power and arrested him and imprisoned. But the question is how to operate this matter?
Geng Nanzhong paced back and forth in the official room with his hands behind his back. Although it was difficult to catch Li Yanqing, he still had to do it, otherwise 10,000 women would not be able to leave the city. Geng Nanzhong knew in his heart that Li Yanqing would never allow 10,000 women to leave the city.
At this time, a shout came from outside the official room, and Geng Nanzhong frowned, "Have they dispersed yet?"
Starting this afternoon, a group of middle and lower-level officials gathered together to oppose the forced recruitment of civilian women and the collection of gold and silver, and even opposed the sending of the emperor and palace maids to the military camp.
Geng Nanzhong walked out of the gate of the province and saw nearly a hundred middle and lower-level officials standing in front of the steps. The leader was an official in his thirties named Wu Ge, who was appointed as the clerk of Xuanzan. He was only a minor official from the seventh rank. Although his official position was not high, he dared to act and had a strong personality. He led the crowd to oppose the emperor to negotiate with the Jin camp.
As soon as Geng Nanzhong walked down the stairs, the officials immediately stepped forward to surround him. Wu Ge angrily scolded: "What's the difference between robbing a villa, robbers who have broken a house and robbers? As a prime minister, how can you issue such an order? Please stop this kind of resentment and anger of heaven and man immediately!"
Geng Nanzhong said calmly: "This is the key to whether the official can come back. It is also the official who issued the order personally. I am just acting on the order!"
"The official family should be rescued with the right way when they come back. How can they exchange the wives and daughters of the people for their wives and daughters? They also gave the palace maid, the imperial concubine to the Jin people for their lewd pleasure. This is a shame for the Song Dynasty. How did Mr. Geng explain to the monarchs of the Song Dynasty? How did he explain to the people of the world?"
Geng Nanzhong said angrily: "I said that this is the will of the emperor and has nothing to do with me. I am just carrying out the will of the emperor!"
"No matter whether it is the will of the emperor or not, the matter of harming the heaven and the people must be stopped!"
"Tell me, what if the Jin soldiers come in?"
Wu Ge yelled with his neck hard: "We have an army, but the army cannot stop it. We will also pick up the sword and fight with the Jin people. The people of the Song Dynasty will never surrender, and they would rather die than let the Jin people humiliate them!"
"Well said!" A sudden applause came from afar.
Everyone turned around and saw Li Yanqing wearing armor, surrounded by hundreds of soldiers and walking quickly.
Everyone went a long way, and Li Yanqing nodded and said to the officials: "I thought the court had completely fallen, but I didn't expect there were many strong ministers. This was the blessing of the Song Dynasty and the people in the capital."
Li Yanqing looked at Wu Ge again and said, "I can tell Wu Sheren that as long as I, Li Yanqing, there will never be any woman giving the Jin people a lustful pleasure. I have sent troops to send them home for all the captured women."
The officials applauded and couldn't help cheering.
Geng Nanzhong was furious and pointed at Li Yanqing and shouted: "Li Yanqing, you will kill the official family!"
"shut up!"
Li Yanqing shouted loudly and glared at Geng Nanzhong and said, "It was not me who killed the official family, but you Geng Nanzhong. You know that the Jin people are untrustworthy and have evil intentions. You also encouraged the official family to go to the Jin camp to negotiate, which caused the official family to fall into a dangerous place and cannot return to the city. Geng Nanzhong, how do you explain to the court? How do you explain to the people of the world?"
Li Yanqing was pushing forward step by step. Geng Nanzhong was scared and stepped back step by step. He suddenly raised a hand edict in a hurry and said, "It's just the hand edict of the official family, you will be dismissed from your post and asked. Li Yanqing, you are no longer a court official!"
Li Yanqing snatched the handwriting in his hand, tore it to pieces, and sneered: "You colluded with Jin soldiers and betrayed the capital. How dare you fake the handwriting to destroy the defense of the capital? You should be dismissed and imprisoned. The person who came, drag him down and imprisoned him!"
More than a dozen soldiers rushed forward, knocked Geng Nanzhong off his official hat, and dragged him down forcibly. Geng Nanzhong shouted, "Let me go, I am the right prime minister! You let me go, Li Yanqing, I will never let you go!"
Geng Nanzhong's voice gradually faded away, and Li Yanqing smiled at the officials and said, "Please believe me, I will definitely defend the capital, and the Song Dynasty will never surrender to the iron hoofs of the Jin people!"
