Sun Chengzong actually saw the hesitation of many people.

This is actually understandable.

After all, everyone is not fool.

Now everyone is slowly coming back to the taste.

If you really want to continue making trouble, adding fuel to the fire will not do anyone’s benefit.

Sun Chengzong said: "In my opinion, I should quickly send a safe person to Qufu in the name of the cabinet, and ask the outside world to investigate this matter thoroughly. At that time, I will find a way to suppress everyone's anger first. Let's talk about the rest of the matter when the cabinet and the six ministries have to have a tacit understanding. We must not continue to talk about this matter more. Those who want to get sick will get sick, and those who want to hide will find an excuse to hide. We are the head of our family and will not cause trouble. Let's wait for some time before making plans."

Huang Li sighed loudly, but did not speak first, but looked at the other Grand Secretary.

Liu Hongxun seemed to be idle. To be honest, Zhang Jingyi did something inappropriate. He had long wanted to smash Zhang Jingyi's dog head, but he also knew... The moment of trouble at this moment was equivalent to deliberately causing trouble.

Li Guo's attitude was furious and said, "Press up, what should I rely on? If we don't add fuel to the fire, can't the fire be burned? Ha... Do you know that scholars outside are crazy now? Do you know what the Censorate and Hanlin Academy have become? To this day, what is the use of being out of trouble? What is the Ming Dynasty used to govern the world? Today, we are here to look down on this matter. In the future, we will be a traitor. Alas..."

As he said that, he sighed, stamped his feet, and left.

Sun Chengzong fucked himself by spitting on his face. Although he was scolded, he still kept smiling.

At least... the cabinet has been stable.

"Tomorrow, I will go to see Your Majesty. If Your Majesty doesn't come forward, it won't work. Such a big thing must be discussed in court, at least... it must win back some people's hearts." Sun Chengzong said.

Huang Liji smiled bitterly and said, "Sweep the hearts of people... all people's hearts have been lost."

He shook his head, looking anxious.

What else can I do?

Aren’t these officials born as scholars? What they learn is the knowledge of Confucius.

This saint is the most sage and master. Everyone is under the disciple of the master. What is the most important thing about Confucianism? It is to respect the teacher and respect the Tao! Think about it, at this time, you know that your mentor’s descendants have been killed. Do you want to be perverted?

Of course, all officials can barely control it.

What about the gentry in the world and the countless scholars?

These people, on the surface, have no power to tie a chicken, but in fact... they are all local tyrants.

The thirteen provinces of the two capitals, money, grain, litigation, public opinion, land, and population, aren’t they all controlled by these gentry, big and small?

What should these people do if they are completely disinterested in the court?

This is not a matter of one person or two, but a matter of thousands of people. If it is just a million ordinary people, it is impossible, then it will be a matter of them and a team of people will be killed.

But these thousands of people are the backbone of the world. If they completely hate the court, then the Ming Dynasty will be over.

Such a killing was really a matter of causing trouble to the Ming Dynasty that it was even worse than the Mongols. At least the Mongols entered the Central Plains, and there were still many Confucian scholars and gentry welcomed each other. When the Mongols collapsed, there were still scholars... who committed suicide to be loyal and righteous.

"Just do it." Huang Liji decided to take care of him again.

What else can I do? Take one step at a time!

…………

A series of reports came from all over the country.

Sure enough, many people everywhere in the world began to go crazy.

The mansions of the three eunuchs guarding were rushed in. The eunuchs guarding, who represented the imperial power, were tied up into rice dumplings and directly threw themselves into the river.

People everywhere started wearing mourning and mourning...

The Wei Zhongxian Temple, which was originally built in various places, has now begun to be maliciously destroyed by others.

The Duke of Wei from Nanjing urgently reported that it was a scholar in Nanjing who was thinking of change, and someone went to the Confucius Temple in Nanjing to cry.

The ministers of the six ministries of Nanjing were indifferent to this and even deliberately indulged them.

In various yamen, a large number of anti-poems were posted, as well as various lists of sarcastic writings that ridicule current affairs.

It's not much better in the capital.

At this time, it is impossible for the court to not react.

In short, you need to let the court give an explanation immediately, no matter what the statement is... you have to express your opinion.

Finally, the palace issued an order that Your Majesty's illness was cured and a court meeting was held on July 29.

This suddenly... many people were cheering up.

At this time, he was in the residence of Chen Yan, the left censor of the Censorate.

It was dark, and many people began to arrive here at the same time.

Everyone gathered here, and their faces looked extremely bad.

Chen Yin is considered a rising star, a Jinshi in the second year of the Tianqi period, but his promotion was very fast.

Of course, this is also due to the party struggle at that time. Because of the party struggle, a large number of Zhejiang Party members were first dismissed and a large number of official positions were vacant. So Chen Yan moved almost three times a year and soon obtained the position of bachelor's degree in the Hanlin Academy.

Later, the eunuch party began to attack the Donglin Party. A large number of people of the Donglin Party were dismissed, and there were countless vacancies. Moreover, the eunuch party did not like Qingliu positions. Wei Zhongxian placed a large number of followers in positions such as Shangshu and local governors, which instead gave the Hanlin Academy and the Censorate a large number of vacancies.

In the end... Chen Yan became the chief clerk of the Censorate and the left censor. He also had some relationships with the people in the palace on weekdays and occasionally impeached some people. Therefore... the people in the palace would not punish him, and he also gained a very high reputation in the Shilin.

But now it’s different. In the past, I could still mix with the slightest, but now... Chen Yan can’t continue to mix with him.

As soon as the news of the murder of the Kong family came out, all the scholars in the world fell on Chen Yan.

As the Zuodu Censor, the leader of the censors, you can do it yourself.

Of course, Chen Yan also acted very tough. He always hoped to make progress. Now... it seems that the opportunity for a large number of senior positions to be vacant is right in front of him.

As long as this time... taking advantage of Zhang Jingyi's opportunity and involving the eunuch party, a large number of people will definitely be dismissed from the cabinet and the six ministries.

So, after learning the bad news, Chen Yan immediately went to the Confucius Temple to cry, and then wrote several tributes to express his grief.

Not surprisingly, the ministers and scholars in the capital were all moved by him.

Tomorrow is the court discussion, and today Chen Yan's home will naturally be crowded.

Countless people flocked to each other and everyone greeted each other.

Then, gathered in the Chen family lobby.

Chen Yan greeted everyone, many of these people...are important officials of the court, and they were all filled with righteous indignation at this time.

"Mr. Chen, I heard that Mr. Kong was tortured for several days and was not in a human form, and was finally executed... The factory guards have become rampant to this point. The loyal ministers and righteous men are all crying. Tomorrow, what are the opinions of Mr. Chen?"

Chen Yan looked at the other party. This person was the Imperial College and the Qingliu among the Qingliu.

Chen Yan said lightly: "It is either Zhang Jing's death, or we will die. To this day, I am equally under the sage of the Supreme Sage. If I don't seek justice, I will be really unbearable to be a son. In the palace tomorrow, I have already made up my mind that I will die either Zhang Jing's death."

As soon as he said this, everyone applauded, and some people said, "We should follow Mr. Chen... This factory guard is too bullying. If we do nothing and continue to follow the situation, then we will cut five cities today and ten cities tomorrow, and then we will sleep peacefully overnight. When that time comes, we will look at the four realms, and the Qin army will arrive again. Therefore... we must not retreat again today."

After hearing this, everyone was excited.

Obviously, many people have made plans to burn together.

These countless officials left after visiting each other.

It was midnight, and many lights in various places in Chen's house gradually went out.

Chen Yan was still sitting in the hall and took a sip of tea. At this time, his son Chen Zhixubu walked in and whispered: "Father, Mr. Lushan has arrived."

Chen Yan nodded quietly and said, "You go and rest earlier."

Chen Dao said: "Yes."

As he said that, Chen Yan walked towards the study.

In this study, the lights are rising.

But there was a person, who was holding his hands behind his back, looking carefully at the books on the bookshelf in the study.

When Chen Yan came in, the person seemed to hear the movement, then turned around, looked at Chen Yan, and smiled and said, "There are many lonely books here that I can't find in Chen, which is really enviable."

Chen Yan also smiled and said, "If the teacher likes it, you might as well give it to the teacher."

Mr. Lushan shook his head and sighed: "A gentleman does not take advantage of others' preferences, not to mention that I am not interested in studying. Today's scholars are bad at deaf ears and only read the books of sages. Otherwise, how could they let the treacherous and slanderous rulers be so arrogant?"

"I'm sorry, Yan Shenggong, even he is in such a situation. Can other people... still be safe? So... I have to read books, but I have to ignore the affairs of the world. Mr. Chen goes to court tomorrow... but what are his plans?"

Chen Yan immediately said, "It's better to break up jade than to make a complete set of bricks."

Mr. Lushan smiled and said, "Okay, this is the real scholar... So, do you think you can get rid of the traitor this time?"

Chen Yan said in a deep voice: "Fifty percent!"

“Is there 50%?”

Chen Yan said: "It depends on whether Your Majesty wants a treacherous minister or a country."

Mr. Lushan curled his lips and smiled, nodding: "Then... I will wait and see."

Then, the two walked to the desk together, knelt against each other on the desk, and then started chatting again.

…………

Early the next morning.

As soon as the first sun was falling to the earth, countless ministers were already waiting at the Meridian Gate. It was still the third hour of the Mao period, but many people were in bad moods. Obviously, most of them did not sleep last night.

Zhang Jing got up early today and washed up. However, he called a few lieutenants first, asked and gave instructions, and then put on the python robe and set off.
Chapter completed!
