Chapter forty-four: something big

On July 16th, it is a good time to travel and get married.

The sun is shining and the autumn wind is rustling.

In such a good weather, you should go outings and sing.

But today, near Donghuamen, the atmosphere here is very heavy.

Hao Fenglou arrived at the Hundred House early in the morning and summoned everyone to keep everyone paying attention to the trends on the street. Although he didn't say something directly, the meaning was very obvious. Some things might happen today.

Today is the first seventh day of a famous scholar Fang Xiaoru. He studied under Song Lian and served as the teacher of the crown prince and the crown prince. He has implemented the new policy reform and eliminated some discriminatory policies against scholars during the Hongwu period.

No matter whether this guy is good or bad, one thing must be admitted that Fang Xiaoru was the most famous scholar in the world at this time, especially because he refused to surrender to Zhu Di, which caused a huge disaster and did many things that scholars dared to think but did not dare to do, which was enough to move people.

The Jinyiwei and scholars have never dealt with each other, and these two circles are enemies. From the establishment of the Jinyiwei to the destruction, the two sides have never had a harmonious relationship.

Moreover, since Emperor Hongwu laid off the Jinyiwei, Zhu Di rebuilt the Jinyiwei, and the intention was very obvious. Jinyiwei was used to deal with scholars. Now something strange happened on the street, and all households in Donghuamen wanted to make a fuss.

The first thing Hao Fenglou did when he woke up early in the morning was to hope that something would happen. It would be best that these scholars would come back from wherever they came from after calmly expressing their nostalgia.

However, although I am lucky, I still need to prepare what I should do. I will recall all the people on duty and patrol the streets in the hundred households to respond at any time.

At this time, outside the square mansion, more and more scholars began to gather. Some simply sat on the ground outside the mansion, while others bowed deeply to the middle gate and performed disciple greetings.

One, two, ten, one hundred, three hundred...

The Fang Mansion, which has been sealed, is like a magnet, attracting countless people to come.

There were even people suspected of officials inside.

After the Jingnan Dynasty, some people were proud and some were naturally frustrated. Emperor Jianwen suppressed the vassal kings and nobles, but it was very good for scholars. Now Yongle came to power, under the banner of restoring the ancestral system, in the eyes of many people, this is clearly a reverse of history.

Some people came to pay tribute to Fang Xiaoru, and some people came to express their dissatisfaction. Although scholars were not as arrogant and domineering as Hongzhi, they always hoped that they would have some character in their hearts. So, more and more people began to accumulate, and an atmosphere of uneasiness began to fill the Fang Mansion.

Immediately afterwards, someone started to cry, which was a very bad signal, because crying was very likely to resonate. Once a person was emotionally excited, it would drive others, and a group of people were emotionally excited, which was a sign of a big event.

Not far away, Wu Tao, the chief flag stared carefully, his face suddenly became unpleasant. A lieutenant behind him pulled his sleeve: "Sir, I'm afraid something will happen."

Wu Tao nodded: "It would be strange if there is no accident in so many people. Go back and report."

The atmosphere in the Baihu Office was tense, and Hao Fenglou felt something was not good either. What was coming was finally here.

He looked at Wu Tao and Zeng Jian. These two guys he didn't really trust were ugly at this time.

For everyone, this is simply a catastrophe. Once scholars do excessive things, the hundreds of households will be unforgivable regardless of whether they are suppressed or not. If you suppress them, you have to win over scholars, so you are used as a scapegoat; if you let them go, you will be indifferent and neglect your duties.

I just took office. It’s not that everyone doesn’t understand the mystery here, but because I understand, even if I am a naughty girl like Zeng Jian, I feel something is wrong.

Hao Fenglou took a deep breath and said, "At this point, I will explain it clearly. If everyone cannot work together, none of us can overcome this hurdle. From now on, everyone will obey my order. This hundred households say that one must be one, and two must be two. What do you have to say?"

Wu Tao nodded obediently: "It depends on the master."

Zeng Jian hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Gather all your hands and put them on, and keep them away."

The clerk Zhou Fang said, "Sir, you can't suppress it. Even if you suppress it, you must never use a knife. Those are all scholars with fame and fortune, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

Hao Fenglou said coldly: "Who said that you can't press it? You just need to press it. Maintaining stability is the responsibility of the Jinyiwei. If you can't even do this, what is the use of the emperor to support us?"

Zhou Fang was silent. He shook his head in his heart. The new household was too young and seemed to be a naughty man with no future. It seemed that this time, he would have to be unlucky. He sighed, wasted his luck, and sighed that he was not lucky.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In Yingtian Mansion, the on-duty official had already received the news and was stunned.

The official in charge of the church was named Liu, and his name was just Hong. Liu Hong was very young, but he was not stupid. He suddenly thought that today the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, the Tongzhi, the prosecutors and others all had their illness. One said it was an old disease attack, and the other said it was a sedan chair and injured his leg. Liu Hong didn't care at first, but now when he looked back, he seemed to have been cheated.

"Sir, many scholars cried in a group, and the number of people gathered has exceeded 1,000. Many people are extremely excited. If one is not good, it may lead to a disaster. Is Yingtian Mansion..."

Liu Hong complained in his heart, held the teacup and took a sip, and finally said, "You can't go, no one cares, I don't know, but Yingtian Mansion cannot control it. These are scholars, and no one can bear the infamy."

"But it seems unreasonable to sit idly by."

Liu Hong said lightly: "A few days ago, weren't there any thiefs making trouble while His Majesty entered the capital? Yingtian Mansion cannot tolerate it. He should follow the map and pull out these guys one by one, pass on the orders, and let all the three squads of personnel go out to dig three feet of the ground, and find these bold madmen."

"yes."

Thousand Houses in Dongcheng.

Zhang Fu was looking at a note, then smiled coldly, called Yang Sili, and said lightly: "It's true that something big is going to happen, and the storm is coming." He said with a gaze: "How is the Hundred Houses of Donghuamen? What is Hao Fenglou going to deal with?"

Yang Sili said: "From this attitude, I plan to suppress it."

"It's good to suppress it." Zhang Fu curled his lips: "These scholars should have been cured long ago. They are in the name of tribute, but in fact they are doing secretly opposing His Majesty's activities."

Zhang Fu paused for a moment, then danced again: "The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind. Since Hao Fenglou is going to press the ball, we will not care for the time being. When he takes action, I will take him first. After all, with so many scholars being pressed, we should have an explanation."

Yang Sili couldn't help but say, "Sir, Hao Baihu is his own family after all, just hit him. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to fight with the same family."
