Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

The stragglers of the Jin army who looted food and grass in the early stage reappeared again. Hundreds of cavalry often ran from the Jin army camp along the city wall to the weakly defended east of Bianliang City, shooting the city with bows and arrows.

Some soldiers defending the city in the Song army were so angry that they restored the armor on the city without asking for instructions, and prepared to fight back against the Jin army when the Jin men came again.

At this time, after Cai Mao of the Lord Peace Faction found out, he hurriedly ordered people to dismantle these armors again, and taught these disobedient defenders with military sticks.

On February [-], the news of Li Gang's dismissal spread quickly throughout the capital, and there were rumors that after the news of the failure of the Song army on the first month of the first month, Li Bangyan and other ministers of the main peace faction actually held a banquet in the capital hall to celebrate, which made the city Everyone was furious.

The ministers of the Zhuhe faction also submitted a memorial, requesting that Emperor Zhao Huan restore Li Gang's official position as Shangshu Youcheng and continue to let him lead the defense of the whole city.

Yushi Zhongcheng Xu Han also asked to see Emperor Zhao Huan and asked to resume his official position as a teacher.

Emperor Zhao Huan explained that I didn't blame Zhong Shi for being unfavorable in leading the army, but that he was getting old and it was difficult for him to take on important tasks anymore.

Xu Han found Zhong Shidao and asked him why you must attack the Jin army by force?

Master Zhong said that I don't advocate a strong attack. My idea is to consume the Jin army first, and when the Jin army runs out of food and grass and is forced to retreat, I will pursue it from behind, so as to win the battle.

Now we only need to cut off the food supply of the Jin Army, and nothing else needs to be done.

But the Holy One listened to what Yao Pingzhong and Li Gang said, and insisted on taking the initiative to attack, what can I do?

After Xu Han heard this, he believed that the responsibility for the defeat of the army was not on the way of the teacher, so he submitted another memorial and asked Emperor Zhao Huan to use the way of the teacher again.

At the same time, the Tai students in Taixue became restless.

On February [-]th, Tai student Chen Dongyue wrote a letter, requesting that Emperor Zhao Huan restore Li Gang and Zhong Shidao's official positions, saying that they were ministers of the country, and impeached Li Bangyan, Bai Shizhong, Zhang Bangchang, Zhao Ye, and Wang Xiaodi at the same time , Cai Mao, Li Yue and other peace ministers.

Chen Dong also directly pointed out that Tong Guan, Cai You, etc. were thieves of the community for seeking peace and betraying the country.

After Chen Dong wrote the letter, he led more than a thousand people from the Taiyuan Academy to gather at the Xuande Gate to petition.

Tai students are young and energetic, not deeply involved in the world, and are the most easily deceived by others.Now, Chen Dongyong, whom they usually dislike, is the first bird, and he has won their love and support.

After the soldiers and civilians in the city heard the news of Taisheng students' petition, they rushed to gather outside Xuandemen, begging Qinzong to restore Li Gang and Zhong Shidao's official positions.

At this time, some people spread rumors in the city that the Jin army would attack the city again.

Everyone in the city was in danger, and they were outraged by the emperor's dismissal of Li Gang and other main war factions, and the reinstatement of Li Bangyan and other main peace factions.

At this time, a Xuandemen guard said to Chen Dong and other imperial students that Xuandemen was too far away from the forbidden center. If you want to let the emperor know your opinion, you'd better go to Donghuamen.

When Chen Dong and the others heard the words, they turned around and rushed to Donghua Gate.The common people gathered outside the gate also rushed to Donghua gate together with the Tai students.

When passing by the Dengwen Drum Courtyard, someone dismantled the Dengwen Drum that appealed to the emperor, and pushed them outside the Donghua Gate together.

Everyone beat the Dengwen drum desperately, but did not get any response from the people in the palace until the drum was smashed to pieces.

More and more soldiers and civilians gathered outside Donghua Gate, and there were hundreds of thousands of people.

All of a sudden, the streets and alleys were filled with water, and the voices in the city moved, and the sound spread for dozens of miles.

This continued for several hours, and there was no one to appease or respond in the court, and the emotions of the gathered people became more and more intense.

Emperor Zhao Huan was very annoyed by the impulsiveness of the Tai students, so he didn't want to see Chen Dong and others.

But seeing the troubles getting bigger and bigger, Zhao Huan sent Wu Min and Geng Nanzhong to persuade Chen Dong and others.

Wu Min came out of the palace and said that the Holy Majesty had seen the memorials of all the students and understood your loyalty, so the students should leave first.

Some college students prepared to leave after hearing this, and some said they couldn't just leave. What if Wu Min lied to us?

Wu Min said helplessly, how can I make you believe my words?

Chen Dong and others said that if we can see Li Gang himself, we can believe it.

Wu Min persuaded that our army was defeated a few days ago, and the Jin army insisted on pursuing the culprit. The court's dismissal of Li Gang was just an expedient measure to appease the Jin army.After the Jin army withdraws to the north in the future, the Holy One will naturally restore him to his original position.

The Tai students still did not leave, Wu Min and others had no choice but to go back to the palace to report the situation to Emperor Zhao Huan.

However, the people gathered outside Donghua Gate recognized Wu Min and the others and immediately surrounded them.

The people demanded to restore Li Gang to his post, shouting that the Jin army was about to hit the city. In order to save the people, His Majesty, hurry up and use Li Gang to fight against the gold.

Seeing this, Geng Nanzhong said, don't worry, everyone, I will definitely inform the emperor of your request.

After exhausting his words and tongues to get out of trouble, Geng Nanzhong returned to the palace and reported the situation outside the palace to Emperor Zhao Huan.

I am the Son of Heaven, how can I be coerced by the ignorant Tai students and those unreasonable people?What's more, using Li Gang can't defeat the Jin army!

After hearing this, Emperor Zhao Huan remained silent, unwilling to compromise on this.

At this time, Wang Shiyong, the prefect of Kaifeng, heard that the Tai students still did not disperse after the persuasion of Wu Min, Geng Nanzhong and other ministers, so he led troops to Donghuamen, trying to control the leader Chen Dong and others.

Unexpectedly, Chen Dong is just a bastard who is not afraid of death. He leads his people in a posture of catching the dead, and prepares to fight to the death with the yamen servants of Kaifeng Mansion.

Where did Wang Shiyong think that there are unscrupulous people in Bianliang City, Tokyo, who are not afraid of the government, and he has too few yamen servants, and he is not an opponent of too many students and gathering soldiers and civilians, so he has to slip away quickly.

At this time, it happened that Li Bangyan and other ministers passed by Donghuamen when they went to court.

When the agitated Tai students, soldiers and civilians saw Li Bangyan, the leader of peace, they scolded him in unison, saying that you are just a worthless prodigal, how can you be a prime minister and harm the country?

While scolding, everyone picked up rubble and rocks on the ground and smashed Li Bangyan's sedan chair.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Li Bangyan ran out of the sedan chair in a hurry, grabbed a horse and rode on it to escape.

The other ministers of the peace faction, including Cai Mao, Wang Xiaodi, and Zhao Ye, were also attacked to varying degrees.

Chapter 9 and Five

Hearing that the ministers of the Zhuhe faction were attacked by the people, Emperor Zhao Huan was stunned.Only then did he realize that the situation was critical. If effective measures were not taken, there would be a risk of civil uprising in the city at any time.

Therefore, Emperor Zhao Huan moved to Donghua Gate and issued an imperial decree to appease everyone. He brought a dozen personal guards to protect himself, and ordered Wang Zonglin, the commander in front of the palace, to take the imperial guards to patrol and maintain order.

Kaifeng Governor Wang Shiyong heard that the Holy Majesty was forced to come out to meet the unruly people, so he also went back and brought more government officials and soldiers to escort him.

When Chen Dong saw the yamen servant of Kaifeng Mansion, he stood up with his chest upright facing the sword and axe, and said that he wanted to meet the emperor and express his feelings on behalf of the people.

Wang Shiyong was furious, and scolded Chen Dong, saying that you, a little imperial student, are just a commoner, and you dare to gather crowds to make trouble and threaten the emperor, and you should be sentenced to death!

After hearing Wang Shiyong's threat, all the Tai students thought to themselves that if Chen Dong was guilty, wouldn't we be convicted too?

How could the Tai students be willing to admit defeat? For a while, the crowd was excited, and they wanted to fight Wang Shiyong desperately.A fierce conflict was about to break out between the two sides.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Zhao Huan hurriedly ordered someone to deliver an decree to pardon Chen Dong's innocence.

In order to appease everyone's anger, Emperor Zhao Huan ordered Zhu Gongzhi's biography Li Gang and Zhong Shidao to enter the palace to face the saint.

Although Li Gang is a stubborn person, he also understands that these Tai students gather together to make trouble and threaten the emperor, which will make him lose the trust of the emperor.
