Chapter 4756: Gathering a crowd to make trouble
The Jingzhao Mansion Yamen is located in the southwest corner of Buzhengfang, adjacent to the "Hu Ao Temple" and "Shanguo Temple". On the west side, the Yong'an Canal flows from south to north, facing the West City across Jinguangmen Street.
Due to the recent influx of countless monks, merchants, and tourists into Chang'an City, the floating population has increased by tens of thousands. Not only are temples and temples in the city full, but it is also difficult to find a room in hotels. The "Obon Festival" and "Chinese Festival" Although the "Yuan Fahui" attracted a huge flow of people to Beijing, which greatly stimulated Chang'an's economy, it also caused serious security risks. Chang'an and Wannian counties were under the leadership of Jingzhao Mansion and worked day and night to eliminate security incidents at any time.
Therefore, even at the end of the Youshi period, the Yamen was still brightly lit, crowded with people, and busy.
The officials who went to Wannian County have returned, and the documents and contracts they brought back are placed in front of the bookshelf on the side of the check-in room. Ma Zhou sneered at the thick stack of half a dozen people. How many clans and nobles would be annexed? If the land is dedicated in the name of the temple and Taoist temple, how many people will lose their land and be displaced or sold into slavery?
No matter whether they are members of the clan or nobles, the imperial court has always treated them very favorably. However, these people still have unsatisfactory desires and disregard the king's laws. They persecute their own people even more than they fight against the Hu people on the battlefield. They exploit and destroy the fish and meat village and do all kinds of evil.
Can you do whatever you want by relying on your past achievements?
dream!
"Fu Yin, there are many clan members gathering outside on the street at the entrance of the West City. There are even noble disciples who keep coming, whispering to each other and pointing at our yamen from time to time. I'm afraid the visitor is not good. Do you want to send someone? Dispel it?”
"We have nothing to do with this matter. We will send someone to Zongzheng Temple to inform His Highness the King of Han. At the same time, we will inform Duke Yue outside Mingde Gate so that they can handle it properly."
"Here."
Ma Zhou got up and went to the window to light a small red clay stove with a fire stick, put the kettle on it, and asked the scribe to go to the kitchen to bring a plate of fried beans. Just as the water was boiling, he made a pot of tea and ate the beans slowly. Drinking tea, I feel relaxed and comfortable, and I am in a good mood.
Throughout the ages and throughout the dynasties, the people who conquered the world relied on clans and nobles. These people were the most loyal to the imperial power, because their titles meant that they could retire with the country. The better the country, the better they would be.
However, for the purpose of prevention, as time goes by from the founding of the country, the clan and nobles are further away from the center of power. Without corresponding power, they naturally cannot obtain huge benefits, so they can do anything to maintain their luxurious life. Without going to extremes, he has gone from being a creditor who built the country to being a moth that hollowed out the country.
Moreover, Lumi, who was rich in clan and honors, also became a burden to the court.
The Tang Dynasty is now as stable as Mount Tai and cannot be shaken. So many clans and nobles have become a burden. If there is a chance to prune and streamline it, it will be very beneficial to the country. Emperor Taizu's branch is enough, and the other descendants of Emperor Gaozu are There is no need for the bloodline to continue to be supported by the state...
The most important thing is that Fang Jun has to take charge of this matter. He is not afraid of the revenge of the clan and nobles, but he is really tired of being entangled by those silverfish. He has too many serious things to do, where can he get so much energy? cope?
Therefore, Fang Jun is the most trustworthy. As an ally, he is not afraid of trouble, has a strong momentum, and has superb methods. It is really worry-free and effort-saving to work with him.
……
The lights in the West City are bright, and more and more clan members and second-generation nobles are gathering on the street in front of the gate tower. It is impossible for any family head to personally come forward to attack the Jingzhao Mansion. Even Li Daoli only acts as a temporary " "Leader", it will be his son Li Jingshu when he goes to Jingzhao Mansion later...
Naturally, these people gathered here with a large number of servants and soldiers. They occupied half of the street with shouts and shouts outside the West Market Gate, obstructing the Hu merchants who were transporting goods in the market. However, seeing these people dressed in bright clothes and angry horses with extraordinary momentum, Hu The merchants just dared to be angry and dared not speak out. They either took a detour or simply parked their goods on the street and waited for these people to leave before transporting them into the market.
Li Daoli looked around and asked Li Chongxu: "Is everyone here?"
Li Chongxu nodded: "Time was too tight, so I notified seven or eight companies in total, and almost all of them came."
Li Daoli looked at it and was a little disappointed. They were all small fish and shrimps among the nobles, and none of them had any weight. However, he could also understand that the nobles who survived the two mutinies were either diehard loyalists of His Majesty or had sex with his wife. If Jun is a good friend, how could it be impossible for him to follow him to Jingzhao Mansion to cause trouble? Only these unworthy people are jumping up and down.
He looked back at his son beside him: "It's getting late, let's take someone there."
The reason why he did not come forward directly to cause trouble this time was to leave a buffer to prevent the matter from ending. He would not foolishly attack Jingzhao Mansion. If something happened, the entire Dongping County Prince's Mansion would be involved. It also gives his son an opportunity to establish his prestige.
Regardless of whether such a major event can be accomplished or not, it is a heavy qualification. He is considered a figure among the next generation of clan members. This is a hard-won opportunity.
Li Jingshu responded respectfully: "Here."
He straightened his back and said in a solemn voice: "Everyone, remember, this trip to Jingzhao Mansion is not to cause trouble, but to argue for our own property. We will not give up until we achieve our goals. Who dares to quit halfway? God has abandoned it!”
"How is that possible? The land at home has been confiscated, and we won't be able to get rid of it next year. Where can we retreat?"
"Don't worry, Dalang. If we dare to come here today, we will fight to the end. We will have to fight to the death with Ma Zhou!"
"This is too much. Are you trying to scare children? We are a clan and are part of Taizu's bloodline. As long as we don't rebel, even His Majesty can't do anything to us. Why should we be afraid of a mere Ma Zhou?"
"That's right. Besides, there is a law that does not punish the public. With so many people seeking justice from Ma Zhou, can they kill us all?"
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and negotiate with Ma Zhou. After the business is done, you can go back home and sleep!"
"Hey, the concubine Erlang recently took in is said to be as beautiful as a fairy. When are you going to give it to Brother Yu for a taste?"
"It's just a woman. She will be sent to my brother's house in a few days!"
"Let's go, let's go, it will be daybreak if we keep talking!"
"Dalang is in the lead, we will follow your lead!"
A total of hundreds of people from the clan, nobles and their respective servants and soldiers crossed the long street, swaggered through the market, and rushed straight to the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen on the opposite side of the street.
The doorman in front of the Yamen had been staring at this group of people for a long time. When he saw that everyone had finally gathered together and walked over quickly, he quickly turned around and trotted to report the news to Ma Zhou.
Li Jingshu led the people to the yamen and stood in front of the yamen. He planned to pay homage first and then fight. He said to the clerk at the door: "Excuse me, please come in and report. I said that Li Jingshu, the eldest son of the Prince of Dongping County, led a group of brothers to visit. I have important matters to discuss with Jing Zhaoyin." See you, please take the time to see me.”
"Why are you so polite? If you ask me, we will rush in directly. If Ma Zhou agrees to our conditions, then that's it. If he doesn't agree, we will destroy the Jingzhao Mansion, kidnap Ma Zhou and go to Chengtian Gate to hold the palace! We all As your Majesty’s brother, don’t you believe that your Majesty can just watch cruel officials torture us and other members of the royal family?”
Li Jingshu quickly stopped him and said loudly: "Everyone, please be patient. If Ma Zhou agrees to our request, there will be no need to go to war. If he doesn't appreciate praise and refuses to repent, it won't be too late for us to argue with him!"
"Okay, I'll listen to Dalang this time anyway, what do you say we will do."
Seeing a group of usually arrogant and domineering clan members obeying her words and respecting her with utmost respect, Li Jingshu suppressed her lips and felt an uncontrollable surge of pride, confidence and indescribable sense of accomplishment in her heart. This kind of prestige of "one call and a hundred promises" This is a state that he has never reached, and he has a kind of heroic ambition of "this is what a man should be".
After a while, the scribe who had entered the house came back and said respectfully: "The governor invites the Prince of Dongping County to come in and meet him. If he has anything to say, he can tell him face to face."
A group of clan members and second generation nobles started clamoring again: "How can that be done? We all came together, so naturally we have to go in together!"
"Ma Zhou only knew about the Dongping Palace, but he didn't know about the Guangping Palace?"
The noise and excitement filled the sky, making the huge Jingzhao Mansion Yamen even more noisy than the West Market.
Li Jingshu felt that it was not a good idea to go to see Ma Zhou. No matter what the outcome of the negotiation with Ma Zhou was, people would question it. As the saying goes, a man can tell others everything, how could he talk about this kind of thing in private?
He immediately raised his arms and waved: "The traitor Ma Zhou has ulterior motives and wants to divide us. We can't be fooled. Since he won't come out to meet us, please come with me and let's go see him!"
"Haha, Dalang is really brave!"
"Let's go in together!"
"Wow, wow, damn Jingzhao Mansion, look at me tearing down its front door!"
I don't know which of the noble disciples was so excited that he jumped out from the crowd and kicked the half-closed door down with a "bang" sound. The heavy door was kicked open, and the noble disciple also fell to the ground holding his feet. Howling loudly...
Li Jingshu's face turned dark and she was too lazy to pay attention. She only asked people to carry this person away for treatment, and then led a large group of people to rush through the gate and enter the yard.
The officials in front of the Jingzhao Mansion didn’t dare to stop and couldn’t stop them. They were scattered in an instant...
When Li Jingshu and others rushed into the courtyard, they saw Ma Zhouzheng standing on the steps of the main hall with his hands behind his hands. A row of officials were protecting him in front of him. He looked at the leader Li Jingshu expressionlessly and asked in a deep voice: "This important place in the capital,... Under the emperor's feet, you dare to lead a crowd to attack the imperial government office. Do you know what the crime is?"
Li Jingshu was not afraid, and took two steps forward to stand out among the gazes of the clan members and noble disciples. Enjoying the glory of being a "leader", she said righteously and sternly: "If you want to impose a crime, Why bother? We can't bear this crime, and we don't dare to bear it. This time we are not here to attack Jingzhao Mansion, but to question you. Why should we confiscate each family's property?" (End of Chapter)< br>
