"Yes," the old official Qin Jiusheng patted his shoulder and shook his head, "I really don't know what these readers think?"

Fan Changheng was stunned, smiled bitterly, and shook his head. - He picked up the heavy water and fire stick and followed Qin Jiusheng. Qin Jiusheng has been clerks from Ezhou yamen for generations. He has been to the Ministry of Justice, who has been to the Ministry of Justice in order to find an official position. Although he usually only handles documents like Fan Changheng and others, it is said that when he was in the prefecture, he had been in the Zhuang Kuaishou for a while. Cāo practiced water and fire sticks, iron rulers, and iron chains and other guys. Fan Changheng usually looked down on this clerk, but now he can't help but follow Qin Jiusheng.

Li Hongguang brought seven or eight people to the front yard. More than 30 public people had gathered in the yard, each guarding the gate with water, fire sticks, iron rulers and other weapons. Song An, the outsider of the Ministry of Justice, frowned and listened to the noisy voices outside, and several doctors from the Ministry of Justice surrounded Song An.

"Mr. Song," Li Hongguang said, "there are eleven people in the Ministry of Justice."

An nodded and ordered, "Take five people back to the Ministry of Justice first and hide the important case files in the dry well. The others stay here." Li Hongguang was surprised and asked in a low voice: "Is the situation so critical?" "Preparing for the future, you have to be careful." Song An shook his head and whispered: "If the case files are taken away, you and I will not be able to explain to the court."

Just now, he sent people out to inquire about the situation. More than 2,000 people had gathered outside, and some were inciting the people of the escort to rush in, grabbing Wen Xunzhi and the corrupt officials of the Ministry of Justice, and beating them all to death. The students of the escort shouted "Eliminate the traitor Wen Xunzhi" outside the yamen. However, Wen Xunzhi, as the Minister of Justice, did not sit in the Ministry of Justice every day, and there was no need to do anything in the morning. Those who are truly responsible for daily official duties are neither Shang nor the Minister of Justice, but Song An, the oldest qualified Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

Li Hongguang turned his head to look at the guilty and timid officials of the Ministry of Justice and sighed. The Ministry of Justice is like the two big stone lions at the door, which seems to be scattering and majestic, but in fact it is just an empty stance. All the officials of the orders are only a few 400. The weapons are only water and fire sticks, iron rulers, simple knives, etc., and there are no spears or crossbows. The Ministry of Justice is on another street, with thousands of death row prisoners locked up, and there are other soldiers guarding them. Those people cannot easily use them. If the court did not dispatch the imperial guards in time to quell the rebellion, the people who caused trouble would rush in, and these mere 180 yamen runners would not be able to stop them.

Seeing Song An accompanying Li Hongguang, Fan Changheng couldn't help but straighten his chest. "Zhi Zheng, you and Qin Jiusheng go to the small door of the east wing to guard, don't let outsiders break in." Song An actually remembered his words, and his tone was very gentle. Fan Changheng suddenly burst into blood and replied loudly: "Yes!" He bowed to accept the order, picked up the water and fire stick, and went to the small door of the east wing with Qin Jiusheng.

Outside the Ministry of Rites, the shouts of the students in the rank of the ranks were as high as the waves. "Deng Su's treacherous minister!" "Call the academic officials and impeach Chen Dong!"

The civil servant Liu Yizhi also entered the ministry from the small gate. He had just stepped into the Ministry of Rites. Before he saw the ceremony, the doctor Yang Chucai said, "Shilarious Minister Cai just ordered that someone was causing trouble today. In order to protect the seeds of reading, all the officials were on a day off. You should go back quickly." Although the officials of the Ministry of Rites were also from the small exam, their articles and knowledge were the first of the six ministries, and they only lacked the Jinshi origin of the major exam. Many officials were not able to enter the prefecture school because of their poor family background. Shang, Shilang and other senior officials of the Ministry of Rites cherished these officials and advised and supported them when they had the opportunity.

The students may not be able to find other yamen, but the yamen of the Ministry of Rites are very familiar, so there are many people gathered outside the Ministry of Rites. Seeing that the situation is not good, the assistant minister Cai Xian did not have time to inform Deng Su and made his own decisions, so he asked all the officials of the Ministry of Rites to take a day off and sang the "empty city plan" with these people who were causing trouble.

While urging Liu Yizhi to leave quickly, Yang Chucai complained: "Ezhou yamen is in vain! This year, Mojian can only be used as a inferior!" As a doctor, he had to wait and persuade every official who came to Dao. Although he took risks, he was still responsible. After waiting for a while, no official came in to report, and the shouts outside became louder. Yang Yizhi frowned and said hatefully: "If the brave juniors, if they know who did it, they will take the exam again, they must be demoted and will never show mercy!"

No matter how much I complain, there is no such thing as a camera in this era. Only when I monitor the street from the window, the officials all looked pale and sighed. The Ministry of Rites is the head of the six ministries, holding the court's etiquette and law, and the selection of officials, how could it be so deprived of all authority and everyone was as anxious as a dog who was straying?

In front of the ceremony, Wenchang Street was crowded with people, and the scene was even more spectacular than when the provincial exam was taken. During the provincial exam, the scholars were all quiet and respectful, and they didn’t even dare to make a grand appearance. They had to be more rules and regulations. At this moment, various voices were heard one after another, including students, servants, workers, rogues, saints in the crowd, Taoists, vendors, peddlers, women and idle men, etc. The scene was extremely chaotic.

Everyone's face was full of excitement, some were passionate, some were full of confusion, some were full of energy, and some were looking at the excitement with their heads and heads, but everyone was saying this loudly, in the noisy street, in order to let others hear it, they spoke louder, and the sound of various discussions was like countless bee swings flapping their wings together, buzzing and making it dizzy, and it was like a whirlpool of a storm was constantly expanding. The students shouted loudly and responded like a storm.

"Deng Su formed a clan and his friends became traitors!" "The Ministry of Rites Su Su convened the study and administration!" "Eliminate the traitorous ministers!"

"Deng Su's lackey!" "It's better if the Ministry of Rites smashed it!"

Li Du stood on the platform, raising his arms and shouting, and countless people responded enthusiastically. At this time, he seemed to be no longer a mortal, but above millions of people. His power, every shout, would be immediately amplified by millions of times. The sound went higher and higher, gradually condensed into a surging momentum, and even a vague power to destroy everything.

Most of the students from the ranks gathered at the time of Mao, and planned to arrive at the gate of the yamen at the beginning of Chen. Li Du almost didn't sleep all night and arrived at the gathering place at the time of Yin and three o'clock. Not long after, his group gathered five or six hundred people. It was not dawn at this time. In order to prevent the separation, the students from the front pulled the people behind and pulled the other ones. The cold wind roared for ten miles and entered Ezhou from Lizhengmen. Because of the influx of people along the way, when they entered the city from Lizhengmen, there were more than 1,500 people in Li Du's group alone.

After entering the city, most of the students went to Zhuque Street where the Prime Minister's Office was located, and some people were assigned to other key yamen such as the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of War, and Ezhou Prefecture. Along the way, everyone was excited. While emitting posts, they were excited to criticize the traitors with emotion. Occasionally, some students came out to interfere, and the students immediately scolded: "Be arrogant!" "Get out!" "Get out!" Hundreds of servants and workers and disciples rushed in with sticks.

People in the public ranks bully the weak and fear the strong, so they had to retreat in shame when they saw this and let the brigade's students break forward.

Tens of thousands of students were pouring in, and the city of Ezhou was so turbulent that it was like boiling boiling water. The Ezhou government office itself was surrounded by thousands of people. It had no strength and could not pull out its hands to suppress the chaos. Seeing that the situation was not good, most of the ordinary vendors closed the stalls early, and the shops along the street were closed and locked. The yamen was no longer doing business. There were not transactions in the crowd, but many people were crowded to watch the fun.

Everything happened after the city gate was opened at the Mao hour. At the 3rd hour, most of the students entered the city, and the situation quickly deteriorated to an uncontrollable level. Thieves took advantage of the chaos in the market, and some scoundrels took advantage of the yamen runners of the Ezhou government to plunder money and even forcibly smash the shops. The capital of a country suddenly fell into chaos.

In the front hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Feng Tinglun, the envoy of Xia Kingdom, came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet him early.

The identity of Zhu State is very good in Xia State. Both the Zhu State and the Guardian Mansion were strict. The envoy wanted to make Zhao Xingde escape from the control of Song State. Although there was no clear statement, Feng Tinglun vaguely felt that if Song State insisted on not returning Zhao Xingde's words, the two governments would probably transfer the right to deal with the matter from Road Cao to the Military Affairs Department, and the Military Information Department would handle it. Road Cao did not want to be an enemy of Song State, and Feng Tinglun wanted to make his last efforts before the negotiations broke down.

The noise outside was heard vaguely, and Feng Tinglun frowned inadvertently. For the Xia people who were accustomed to the rule of soldiers and followed the rules, it was incredible that Song was in such chaos. Feng Tinglun even suspected that Song would fall apart in a few years. However, the external threat gave the Prime Minister's Office full righteousness, and the threat of national destruction and extermination forced the prefectures and counties to support the Prime Minister's Office to establish a powerful imperial guard. Because of this, Feng Tinglun suggested that the two governments should not show excessive force, so as not to arouse the Song people's shared hatred of the enemy. However, how much the two governments could consider was not something Feng Tinglun could predict.

In the signing room, the civil servant reported carefully that the envoy of the Xia Kingdom was waiting in the flower hall.

Chen Dong put down his pen and frowned and said, "Let him wait." Then he bowed down to read the memorials.

Feng Tinglun came to lobby every day like a fly. Did he think that just by relying on his tongue, he could bring back nearly ten million households with more than 20 prefectures and counties in Henan, Jingdong and two roads? The prime minister of the Song Dynasty had enough trouble. The comfort of Jingdong and the war with the Liao Kingdom, the attitude of the prefectures and counties, the progress of the Nanhai settlement, the struggle between the clear and turbid currents, and the clearance of the pirates of the food. In the entire Song Dynasty, all kinds of incidents emerged one after another, and the various ministers, the prefectures and counties could not be served, and they were all handed over to the Prime Minister to decide. Before dawn, Chen Dong came to the signing house to handle various official documents, dressing for food and food at night, and read memorials every day.
