Chapter 55 Conspiracy

Li Ruolian cupped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty finally no longer tolerates it. This matter is also a good opportunity for Jin Yiwei to regain its glory. Master Wu must seize the opportunity!"

Wu Mengming nodded:

"Brother, what you said makes sense. I want you and Brother Gao to lead two thousand Jinyi guards to carry out the mission. I wonder what you two brothers think?"

Wu Mengming was born into a civil servant family, and he did not dare to completely break up with the civil service group for the time being.

So I wanted Li Ruolian and Gao Wencai to carry out the mission, and behave like brothers, acting very low-key.

Confucius said that it is best to leave things behind so that we can meet each other in the future. If the civil service group settles accounts in the future, the matter has nothing to do with Wu Mengming, but was done by Li Ruolian and Gao Wencai.

Li Ruolian and Gao Wencai acted according to the order. It was not a big problem that they had the crown prince backing them. As long as the crown prince was not deposed, the civil service group could not do anything to them for the time being.

Li Ruolian was very talented and shrewd. He knew immediately upon hearing this that Wu Mengming did not want to offend the civil servant group and was preparing to shirk the blame in the future.

Li Ruolian smiled lightly and said:

"My subordinates wanted to go with you, but the Crown Prince has just sent a decree asking your subordinates and Lord Gao to protect the safety of the palace. Lord Wu can only take action in person."

Li Ruolian directly rejected Wu Mengming on the grounds of protecting the safety of the palace.

Wu Mengming had nothing to do if the two of them ignored him, and he did not dare to say that the safety of the palace was not important.

"Well...well, you don't need so many people to protect the palace. How about sending two thousand brothers to me?"

"Sir, what are you talking about? You are the commander of the Jinyi Guards. You can mobilize the Jinyi Guards at will. You only need to keep 500 people under your command!"

Wu Mengming, a dignified commander of the Royal Guards, is quite miserable.

He couldn't mobilize the Jinyiwei, because the Jinyiwei were all controlled by Li Ruolian, Gao Wencai and Yue Yang.

On the surface, Wu Mengming is the commander of the Jinyi Guards, but in fact he is just an empty show.

But he didn't dare to go to Chongzhen to complain, otherwise he would die miserably, and even his family would not be able to survive.

Wu Mengming hurriedly led two thousand Jin Yiwei to rush outside Fengtian Gate, only to see that the number of demonstrators had increased a lot, and it was so dark that one could not see the end, there were at least thousands of people.

These people surrounded Fengtian Gate and shouted slogans:

"The prince is tyrannical, killing important officials, destroying businesses and competing for profits from the people, and the royal guards help the tyrants..."

Wu Mengming urged his horse forward, held the purpose in his hands and read loudly:

"Your Majesty has a decree. Regardless of whether it is a tribute student from the Imperial College or an official from the Hanlin Academy, they should immediately return to their residence. Those who disobey will have all their merits removed and will never be hired. In serious cases, their descendants will be prohibited from participating in the imperial examination..."

Wu Mengming's voice was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of the demonstrators. Some of them were frightened.

Why did they live in poverty for ten years? Of course, they wanted to serve as officials in the court and honor their ancestors.

Many people would still hesitate if their futures were ruined by supporting civil servants.

When the civil service group asked them to gather in crowds and march to put pressure on the imperial court, they said that the emperor would not punish them under pressure. Why would the emperor punish them so harshly?

Seeing that the situation was not good, some people wanted to retreat, but suddenly someone in the crowd shouted:

"Emperor Hongwu Gao once said that the Ming Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty of the world, and the Zhu family and the scholars share the world. The Jin Yiwei faked the imperial edict and killed the imperial officials without permission. The crime is unpardonable, so beat them to death..."

While chanting slogans, some people threw stones and other objects that had been prepared in their hands at the Jinyiwei. Wu Mengming, the commander of the Jinyiwei, had just finished reading the purpose when he was suddenly hit in the face by a small stone.

"ah……"

Wu Mengming felt as if stars were shining in his eyes. He hurriedly covered his face with his hands and lay on his horse to avoid the stone attack, but he did not dare to order the Jin Yiwei to fight back. He knew very well that these people were the future of the Ming Dynasty.

Just because Wu Mengming did not dare to attack these Gongsheng students did not mean that others did not dare to attack Jin Yiwei.

So we often see demonstrations turn into riots:

"Kill these imperial eagle dogs who are aiding the tyranny..."

Seeing that Jin Yiwei did not dare to fight back, the demonstrators became emboldened. They completely let themselves go and found things to attack Jin Yiwei...

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the civil servants controlled the government with one hand, causing the once arrogant Jinyiwei to completely lose their prestige in the world.

However, after the crown prince took over the country, he vigorously rectified and supported the Jinyiwei, killing corrupt officials and copying unscrupulous businessmen, which once allowed the Jinyiwei to see the possibility of returning to their former glory.

Today they followed the commander of the Jin Yiwei to suppress the civilian demonstrations, but found that the commander of the Jin Yiwei was a softie.

Faced with the attack by the Gongsheng soldiers, they did not dare to give orders to fight back, but only ordered their subordinates to hold their heads and protect themselves, which made many Jin Yiwei feel humiliated.

At this time, some people in the Jinyiwei no longer tolerated it. Several of them quietly took off the grenades hanging on their waists, twisted the cover and pulled the fuse and threw it out in one go. Then a violent explosion occurred among the demonstrators:

"Bang bang..."

As the grenade exploded, the demonstrators were immediately covered in blood and flesh, and the screams and wails at the scene instantly covered up their chants of slogans.

Jin Yiwei really killed someone, and the survivors immediately fled in all directions.

The Jin Yiwei who just threw the grenade took advantage of the chaos and swung his knife to kill the demonstrators:

"Brothers, His Majesty has an edict, and the supervisors refuse to obey it and attack the Jin Yiwei. They will be killed without mercy!"

Their cries immediately ignited the anger in the hearts of the Jinyiwei, and the Jinyiwei drew out their embroidered spring knives from their waists to kill the chaotic prison students.

"Whoosh... click... ah..."

A cold light flashed and blood suddenly appeared. The demonstrators fell down one after another with swords, but as professional trolls, their mouths were still at work:

"If you dare to attack us, you are the scum of hawks and dogs, and you will be in trouble with the world's intellectuals, and you will be exterminated."

"Click..."

The civil servant of the Hanlin Academy who yelled the most fiercely was killed by Jin Yiwei with a knife, but he still refused to let go. His head rolled to the foot of Jin Yiwei's flag and he opened his mouth to bite the man's official boot.

"Fuck..."

Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi was startled, he shouted and kicked the troll's head away.

"Whoosh..."

It was such a coincidence that the head kicked off by Jinyiwei Xiaoqi hit the commander of Jinyiwei Wu Mengming. Wu Mengming panicked and yelled:

"Stop, I am Wu Mengming, commander of the Jinyi Guards, everyone, please stop..."

Wu Mengming never expected that this would happen. Without his order, the Jin Yiwei actually raised the embroidered spring knife against the scholar. This was no joke. Who dared to openly kill the scholar in the late Ming Dynasty?

But no matter how he screamed, no one in Jinyiwei listened to him, and they would kill the scholar when he saw him raising his sword.

"The Jinyiwei killed innocent people indiscriminately, and everyone fought with them..."

At this time, the few supervisors who first provoked the trouble stood up again. They shouted loudly to organize the supervisors to confront the Jin Yiwei.

They were all young men and none of them had any blood. Some of the brave supervisors were successfully led astray by them. They screamed and snatched weapons and fought against the imperial guards...

The supervisors who provoked the trouble took advantage of the chaos and sneaked away, while the few guards who threw grenades did the same thing as them and fled quickly.

A melee lasted until midnight. Almost all the supervisors were literati, and they were finally defeated by the heavily armed guards.

Faced with Jin Yiwei's butcher's knife, the protesting supervisors never had the ambition to start again.

They all turned into headless flies, trying to escape even if they could walk. They all hated their parents for not giving them two legs.

In the end, the number of civilian casualties reached more than 600, and more than 200 people were directly hacked to death.

Seeing the bloody scene in front of him, Wu Mengming, the commander of the Jinyiwei, almost drew his sword and killed himself to apologize.

The demonstrators were all future officials of the Ming Dynasty, and most of the cabinet ministers came from the Hanlin Academy.

Nowadays, civil servants are grabbing the sky with one hand and raising their butcher's knives against demonstrators in the Imperial College and Hanlin Academy, as well as civil servants.

What kind of consequences it will lead to, Wu Mengming knows how serious it is when he thinks about it.
