Chapter 648: Wei Yan, don't run!
The old house of Gu family in Jingli.
The exhausted Donglin Academy gathered together with the kind and aspiring people who came from the neighborhood. Many people knelt in front of Mr. Donglin Gu Xiancheng's tablet and cried bitterly. Thinking of the tragic death of Liu, Zhao, the two gentlemen of young and passionate disciples, the people, and the gentlemen of righteousness, they felt extremely sad.
Wei eunuchs were all indignant and gritted their teeth. However, what made them even more angry was that the minions of eunuch Wei not only blocked the entire Wuxi city, but also blocked Jingli. Now, there are hawks and dogs wandering outside the town, and no matter who comes in and out, they have to search them clean. Even innocent people are bound to be entangled and questioned by them.
Many guests who came from all over the south of the Yangtze River to pay their respects to Mr. Donglin were stopped outside, on the pretext that there were some traitors recently in Wuxi. In order to prevent another incident, they were ordered by the governor and eunuch Wei to implement military control within a radius of dozens of miles.
Under the name of "military control", no one who cannot show his identity certificate or road guide is allowed to enter Wuxi City and Jingli, where the hawks and dogs call them to go back and forth.
This move really makes the benevolent and aspiring people hate it to the core. What kind of military control is the bullshit military control, it is clearly the eunuch Wei who is willing to harm others!
However, Zuo Jin was really blocked by the minions of eunuch Wei. Wuxi County Government ignored the news, which prevented the news from entering and leaving. People in Jingli were inevitably panic.
The only thanks was that Wei Yi did not lose all his conscience and led his troops to the Gu family's old house to cause trouble, which allowed the academy elites who had nowhere to gain a foothold to settle in Jingli.
Most people are not sure about what happened last night and how things changed. But it is unanimously recognized that Wei Yin was the mastermind behind the atrocities.
If this person is not eliminated, Donglin will be in peace.
But there are many different opinions on how to eliminate this person and how to resolve the crisis here. Every word you say and I don’t have a clear rule.
It’s not a fault for not having any idea. The so-called scholar’s rebellion will not last ten years. The noise in Wuxi city last night was so big, with hundreds of casualties. Now, it’s scary.
With the scholar's powerlessness, who dares to argue with the minions of Wei Yin who holds a long sword?
Don’t talk about theories, you can’t even come out!
Since the Donglin Academy, a gentleman has never been as depressed and helpless as he is today. Hundreds of people are as weak as they are.
Mr. Jing Yi was sitting on the chair and looking at his colleagues. He had already cried. He had cried bitterly in front of the mentor's tablet before everyone gathered, and was heartbroken.
Many people come to ask Gao Panlong to make ideas, but what are the ideas to come up with if Gao Panlong has?
In history, just one sage and great righteousness can solve everything, but the word "big righteousness" suddenly failed, and Mr. Donglin's great disciple didn't know what to do.
He never dreamed that the little Wei Yin had so many minions. If he had known earlier, things would have been impossible.
The one who can come forward with the Gu family is Gu Xiancheng's son-in-law Wang Yongtu, but Wang Yongtu can't say anything even if he is rude.
It is hard to explain when a scholar meets a soldier.
Not to mention whether he was skeptical about Wei Yin, the minions outside the town who were looking at the Gu family with muskets, could not say a word.
At this time, the one who can calm people's hearts is Xiu's Duke Li Sancai.
Mr. Xiuwu was writing letters to the important people in Donglin in Beijing and Nandu, as well as prefectures and counties in Changzhou and Suzhou.
After all, he has been a governor and governor, and Li Sancai's calmness is far from comparable to those outside.
After writing several letters, Li Sancai ordered the money next to him to hand it over to the servants of the Gu family, and sent it out quietly. Then he slowly walked to the front yard.
Seeing Mr. Xiuwu appear, the crowd of people who were crying stopped and everyone's eyes fell on Li Sancai's face.
Li Sancai slowly glanced at the elites of the academy. At this moment, his anger was no less than that of any one on the field, but he knew that he could not act loyally. Now that eunuch Wei has soldiers under his command, he must not force himself to deal with such a person, otherwise they would be the one who suffers.
After slowly scanning everyone, Li San stroked his beard and gradually became quiet under the audience.
Everyone listened carefully. Li Sancai bowed his hand slightly, looked at his old friend's coffin and tablet, and said in pain: "Nine years ago, Brother Jingyang advocated the construction of Donglin Academy and Daonan Temple. He and his younger brother Gu Yuncheng, Gao Panlong, An Xifan, Liu Yuanzhen and other eight gentlemen gathered together to discuss virtue, advocated integrity, advocated practical learning, satirized the government affairs, discriminated against current shortcomings. Only then can I be called the Donglin Party in the world!... I am not talented, and when I meet him at the right time, I rebuilt a small effort in the academy. Brother Jingyang valued it and interacted with my brother. However, Brother Jingyang left before me today. My inner grief is really not worthy of being told by outsiders."
After saying that, he covered his face with his sleeves and choked up.
"Don't be too sad, please feel sad!" Qian Yiben whispered from the side.
"I'm not sad, not sad!" Li Sancai strode to everyone and sings: "I am not sad, I am really happy. I am the one who can call my brothers with Brother Jingyang. I am the one who is lucky in my life! I was the one who has made the "Donglin Shangyu" and "Donglin Meeting Agreement" that stipulated a small meeting every month and a large meeting every year. Those exiled scholars and officials from all over the country responded to the news, and officials in the court were also in harmony, and the world was looking at it. This grand scene, Li Sancai, was lucky in his three lives!"
After saying that, I sighed a long time, and I was filled with emotion.
"Now that Brother Jingyang has passed away, I am like a lonely ghost, with my heart but not enough strength. But with you here, there will naturally be someone who has successors in Donglin. Seeing you, I will be relieved even if I die!"
"Cleaning my husband!"
Gao Panlong couldn't help but clench his fists tightly and slapped heavily at the armrest of the chair.
Li Sancai looked at the friend's eldest disciple, nodded slightly, and said, "Don't worry, I know your intention, but today I want to tell you that using impulse can't solve the situation."
"What does Xiu Wu Gong mean?" Gao Panlong looked unwilling, "Are we just watching him, Wei Yi burned my academy and killed my comrade, and ignored me!"
Ye Maocai, one of the Eight Gentlemen, who also participated in the incident last night, also said: "Xu Wu, although Wei Yi has thousands of minions and stalks in Wuxi, he cannot cover the sky with his hands. Although Xiu Wu Wu cannot control him after returning home, the courts in the capital are all from Donglin. How can he not control him?"
Li Sancai raised his hand and signaled the two of them not to worry. He nodded and said, "I have sent a message to both of them, and there will be news soon." After saying that, he paused and snorted, "Burn my academy and hurt my comrades. Even if I am a civilian, how can I let him be free from justice!"
