Chapter 403 The gate
After hearing Shen Shixing's question, Lin Yanchao naturally had a plan in his heart, but if he continued, he would be suspected of showing off.
So Lin Yanchao said: "How dare students speak nonsense about this simple view? The teacher should not laugh at me."
Shen Shixing smiled and said, "Why do you come to laugh? Your analysis is incisive."
While he was talking, the sedan chair was carried to the left gate of Chang'an. The left gate of Chang'an was the way for officials to return to the yamen after retreating from the court. Outside the door were the offices of several major yamen.
At this moment, I saw the palace gate closed, and the imperial guards in the palace were stationed on the ground as if they were facing a great enemy. They looked at the old pavilion and knelt beside the road.
As the butler of Shen Shixing, Shen Jiu shouted, "Didn't you see the elder in the palace go out of the city? Why haven't you opened the door yet?"
After hearing this, the general of the Imperial Army said, "It is said that the Beijing camp outside the palace is in chaos. In order to prevent the rioters from entering the palace gate and disturbing the emperor's carriage, we closed the palace gate in advance and asked the elders of the cabinet to forgive the crime."
Shen Jiu shouted, "Bastard, the master of the Pavilion is about to leave the palace to quell the military chaos and quickly open the city gate."
The general of the Imperial Army heard this and said, "Without the eunuch's order or the talisman of the Imperial Horse Prison, I dare not open the door if I die."
The imperial guards in the palace are composed of the four guards of Tengxiang, the four guards and the warriors camp, and are also under the command of the eunuch, the imperial horse supervisor.
Shen Jiu said: "Bold, you dare to block the Ge Lao's sedan chair. If the riots outside are really causing chaos, do you think a palace gate can block the riots?"
The general of the Imperial Army said, "That's not our responsibility. If the Pavilion Master really wants to go out, either Eunuch Feng, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison, or see the talisman and fire card for the dispatch of troops."
Shen Jiu said angrily: "You are truly a rotten wood that cannot be carved."
Shen Jiu was so angry that Shen Shixing could not have had a chance to have a dispute with an imperial guard general himself.
Everyone was also very anxious. He couldn't even go out of the door, so why not talk about quelling the rebellion? At this time, a few noises came from outside the palace gate. Whether it was a riot or a shocked people, the generals of the imperial guards were even more afraid to open the door when they saw this.
Shen Jiu said: "So brave, wait for me, I will let Eunuch Feng pick your head."
Shen Jiu was about to leave, when Lin Yanchao stepped forward and said, "Butler Shen, let me say a few words."
Shen Jiu said angrily: "Ms. Lin Xiu, don't ask him."
"It's okay, I'll just say a few words." Lin Yanchao smiled.
The imperial guard general looked at Lin Yanchao and asked, "Who is sir?"
Lin Yanchao said: "Revised by Hanlin Academy, Lin Yanchao, Zhiwenyuan Pavilion."
"It turns out to be the top scholar, but the same thing about the humble official is either Eunuch Feng or the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison, or you will see the talisman and fire card for the dispatch of troops, otherwise you will not be able to open the door."
Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "I am not here to persuade you to open the door, I am just worried about you. I ask you if the chief minister in the sedan chair wants you to open the palace gate, will you open it?"
The general of the Imperial Army said: "If you are the Chief Master, even Eunuch Feng and the eunuch in charge of the seal will follow his instructions, so you will naturally open the door."
Lin Yanchao said: "That's true. Although Weng Shen is the third assistant, he will always serve as the chief assistant in a few years. At that time, Eunuch Feng and the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison also need to obey his instructions, but you are not good, brother."
Shen Jiu was about to leave, but after hearing Lin Yanchao's words, he looked shocked and surprised, and stood still and looked at Lin Yanchao, showing admiration.
The general of the Imperial Army slapped his head and said annoyedly: "I have made a big mistake if I don't say a few words to the top minister."
Then the imperial guard general turned around and shouted, "Hurry open the palace gate, why are you talking about? Open it quickly, just take a step slower, I'll kick your ass."
The imperial guards stood aside and opened the palace gate. The imperial guard general knelt in front of Shen Shi's sedan chair and said repeatedly: "Gei Master forgives his crimes, and Gei Master forgives his crimes."
Shen Jiu was about to curse, but Shen Shixing said, "Forget it, you are also doing your order. What crime is there? To quell the military chaos, get up quickly."
The sedan chairman brought the sedan chair together. The sedan chair immediately exited the palace gate from the left gate of Chang'an. Outside the palace gate was Chang'an Street, with the sect mansion on the left behind and the Ministry of War on the right.
The sedan chair went south and passed the gate of the Ministry of Personnel, which was the Ministry of Revenue. However, when people saw people outside the Ministry of Revenue heads rushing, they surrounded them here. Everyone got out of the sedan chair from afar and dared not approach, for fear of being seen by the rioters.
At this time, the gate in front of the Ministry of Revenue in the Ming Dynasty was pounding.
The Beijing soldiers wearing various clothes, like prodigal sons on the street, cursed: "The corrupt officials of the Ministry of Revenue dare to be greedy for my salary. Open the door, otherwise I will kill in!"
"Open the door, open the door, or I will give you a white knife and a red knife."
"I have made contributions to the court! I have shed blood for the emperor! I want to meet the saint! I want to meet the saint! Damn, I won't come out and I will kill in!"
In addition, several people knelt in front of the Ministry of Revenue with their spirit signs in their arms and cried: "My grandfather, my uncle, and my uncle sacrificed their lives for the country. None of the three people were in Tumu Fort. My Zhao family is a loyal and wise man. Taizu, Chengzu, open your eyes and see how your descendants treat our Zhao family."
Hearing this, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but ask, Brother, you live a long life? The Tumu Fort Incident has been over 130 years. Even if you are over 50 years old this year, your grandfather will be eighty years old when he goes into battle.
Shen Shixing lifted the curtain and asked, "What's the situation?"
Lin Yanchao said: "According to the students' opinions, if the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp besieged the Ministry of Revenue, if they do not stop them, they may rush into the government."
Shen Shixing said: "It's outrageous. The Ministry of Revenue is the important place of the imperial treasury. Do they still dare to break through?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a hammer door. Dozens of officers and soldiers from the Beijing camp outside were demolishing nearby houses, making hammers to hit the door and hitting them.
Seeing this scene, Shen Jiu couldn't help but say: "The Master is not good, they are going to break into the door. We should not stand too close to avoid being entangled by the rioters."
Shen Shixing said: "You don't have to pay attention to this place. Let's first see if there are other people nearby, including the Five City Military and Horses and the Jinyiwei's troops arrived?"
So Shen Jiu and several servants went out for a while and found a deputy commander of the 50% military commander and a head of the Ministry of Revenue.
The deputy commander and some of the soldiers and horses of the five cities had already arrived. He saw that the Beijing camp besieged the Ministry of Revenue and there were many people in charge, so he hid aside and squatted in the ditches on both sides of the street and watched.
As soon as the deputy commander and the head of the Ministry of Revenue saw Shen Shixing, he said, "I have met the Master of the Pavilion."
Shen Shixing said: "The situation is urgent, so there is no need to be too polite. Our cabinet department asks you, the current chaos is causing trouble. If you ask you to take a few of them, will you dare to take the lead in causing trouble?"
The deputy commander quickly knelt down and said, "When I return to the cabinet, there are only more than a hundred people in the low position, and there are thousands of officers and soldiers in the Beijing camp surrounding the Ministry of Revenue. I really don't dare."
Shen Shixing said: "This cabinet department has no intention of offending you. If you invite several leaders of the Beijing camp to come here, let's say a few words to them and guarantee that they will not hurt them?"
The commander looked embarrassed when he heard this, but he still said, "I will try it out."
