Chapter 936 Youyoukou
Because of the war ahead, cabinet officials have been gathering in the cabinet offices recently, and money and grain are being transported and troops are mobilized, leaving these pillars of Yan State to stay in the cabinet almost all day long.
Fan Yunao took the front line emergency report and came to Han Xuandao and handed it over, "Mr. Han, our army has entered the pass, and has advanced a hundred miles in two days, captured three counties and counties, and is now rushing towards Eyangling."
Han Xuandao opened the urgent report and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Mr. Fan, I am not proficient in this military affairs. It is your priority. I should just prepare money and food for you honestly."
Fan Yunao laughed and said, "The biggest obstacle for our army to march south of Sanyang Ridge is Eiyang Ridge. As long as we take down Eiyang Ridge, the convenience is a flat horse. With our army's morale and combat power, we should be able to enter Wei County soon and approach Kyoto City. The cannibal emperor of Wei State is now afraid that he will not have the heart to eat human flesh!"
"Yes, how are the people of Qing Guo moving now?"
"The troops of Yuan Mu of the Northwest Legion are in a stalemate with the people of Wei in Wumu River. Wei has set up heavy troops in Wumu River. It is not easy to cross the Wumu River." Fan Yunao walked to the map hanging indoors, reached out to point at the Wumu River, and then slid down and landed in Suiding County, Wei: "Lin Chengfei led his army to advance from the north of Sanyangling, but the speed of advance was extremely slow... If our army can successfully capture Eyangling, it will definitely attack Kyoto City earlier than them!"
Han Xuandao also walked to the edge of the map, looked carefully, and said, "It may not be a good thing that our army is walking too fast!"
Fan Yunao smiled and said, "I know what Lord Han means. Although the Wei army was seriously injured after the Battle of Nanyang Plain, it was a martial country after all. It deployed heavy troops to defend Kyoto City, which was to be prepared for resistance. If our army advances too quickly and faces Kyoto City alone and takes the lead in fighting with the Wei army, the loss will be very high, and that is, it will be a cheaper Qingren!"
Han Xuandao nodded and smiled, "I don't understand the major military affairs very much, but I just think that things are probably just like this!"
"Mr. Han is very worried." Fan Yunao nodded and said, "The Ministry of War has issued an order to order Han Mo not to march too quickly. Although he wants to take down Eyangling as soon as possible, it is difficult to march quickly after taking down Eyangling. He has to rest and settle down. Only when the Qing people follow will he attack Kyoto City from both sides of the north and south!"
"It should be like this!" Han Xuandao nodded.
Suddenly, I heard footsteps outside the door. Hu Xuexin, the minister of Dali Temple, had already stepped in quickly, with a look of anxiety on his face. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "What happened!"
Han Xuandao frowned, and Fan Yunao had already smelled it: "Mr. Hu, you have always been decisive in your work. You rarely have such anxiety. What happened?"
"Someone came to report that a large group of people gathered in the Censorate's Office to cause trouble." Hu Xuexin sat down on the chair as if he was vaguely seen by Han Xuan, picked up the teapot on the table, poured a glass of water and drank it, and continued: "I originally sent the Yanjing Prefecture Prime Minister to deal with this matter, but even the Yanjing Prefecture Prime Minister was not easy to deal with. When I found me, I heard the reason, and the matter was really difficult to deal with, so I could only come and ask you for advice!"
Han Xuandao frowned and said, "Gathered at the Censorate's Office to cause trouble? This is a strange thing. Who has such courage?"
"It's the students who came to Beijing to take the exam." Hu Xue smiled bitterly and said, "Hundreds of students blocked the gate of the Censorate and scolded those censors for not wanting to serve the king's salary. They were in trouble, but they dared not make any suggestions to the emperor..."
"The country is in danger?" Han Xuandao sneered, "It's a nonsense. My Dayan is now the time when the country is rich and the people are strong. Now he has sent troops to attack Wei. He has established the country and is at its peak. How can the country be in danger? What books do those scholars read throughout their lives? Are they all stupid?"
Hu Xuexin's expression was a little weird, and she wanted to speak but stopped.
Han Xuandao and Fan Yunao naturally saw it. Fan Yunao had already asked: "Mr. Hu, don't be vague, even if that's it. Since those students shouted that the country was in trouble, there must be a reason. What is the case with the country, I, the Great Yan State, is also an explanation, right? They are all well-read books of sages, and hundreds of people are aimless, and there will be no reason!"
"It's all...it's just nonsense!" Hu Xuexin looked a little uncomfortable.
Han Xuandao said lightly: "Mr. Hu, what kind of nonsense are you talking?"
Hu Xuexin pondered for a moment, knowing that this matter would soon cause a storm in the city and it was impossible to hide it. He could only say: "What are you saying... the powerful ministers are in power, and the country is in chaos...!"
When Han Xuandao heard this, his face suddenly sank.
If there is still a powerful minister in Yan State now, then Han Xuandao is naturally well deserved.
Fan Yunao's face also changed slightly.
The Korean clan has risen and is in power. As a representative figure of the Korean clan in the court, Han Hyun-dao was a well-deserved powerful minister. The court knew this, but naturally no one dared to say it.
But I didn't expect that a group of scholars would make trouble at the Censorate today.
"Mr. Hu, those scholars are just going to Beijing to take the exam. If no one is instigating behind their backs, they will never dare to gather in front of the Censorate to cause trouble." Fan Yunao said solemnly: "The war is tight now, and the court cannot be in chaos. These scholars are well-educated people from all over the world of Dayan, and have a lot of influence. The words of these scholars are no more than ordinary people. Once they are publicized, they will inevitably affect the hearts of the people and delude the public. This trend cannot be long, and those nonsense cannot be spread. You can arrange for people to deal with this matter quickly and never let them continue to cause trouble. The leader will arrest a few people and interrogate them to see who is just doing this!"
Hu Xuexin nodded and stood up, but heard Fan Yunao say again: "They are just being used by others, and you must not be harsh on them. If you hurt them, this will cause more trouble."
Hu Xuexin said: "Previously, the prefect of Yanjing sent people to persuade him, but it was useless. Later, he wanted to arrest a few leaders, but the students surrounded the yamen. Now you want me to deal with this matter, but you can't move. What should I do? How can I catch people from them if I don't move?"
"After all, they are all scholars. If you persuade them, you will ask them to have tea and make money, then you will talk about it if you make money." Fan Yunao said.
Hu Xuexin sat down again and said, "Mr. Fan, you don't know me, Hu Xuexin. I am in charge of Dali Temple. I'm not a problem with interrogating prisoners, and investigating cases and prosecuting confessions is a good move. But if you ask me to explain the truth to a group of students, I can't do it." He raised his hand and pointed out to the door: "You don't know that those guys are scholars, and they don't have other skills, but they are powerful. How can I persuade those hundreds of sharp-tongued mouths?"
Han Xuandao's face was gloomy, and he slowly walked back to his seat and sat down. He pondered slightly, smiled coldly, and said, "Mr. Hu, don't touch them. Send someone to look at them and make the Censorate's Office close the door, so that they can clamor outside. I want to see when they can make trouble!"
"Don't worry?" Hu Xuexin was stunned.
Han Xuandao said lightly: "These self-righteous scholars think they are full of knowledge and have no useful things to do. But they are not ordinary people after all, and if they are ruthless, they will find a verbal excuse. Lord Hu said that they are not other abilities, and they are just quick-witted. If they find the reason, they will be even more arrogant when they cause trouble. If they were in the past, they could detain these lawless scholars and even dismiss their qualifications for the exam. But now the war ahead is in a tight position. If they are given a strong medicine to these scholars, they will cause even more trouble. Since they are going to make trouble, let them yell and see how many days they can call!"
Hu Xuexin seemed to understand something and nodded, "This is a way. Let them call him a throat and ignore it. I really don't believe that just a few scholars who are powerless can cause trouble."
...
The students who went to the examination gathered in front of the Censorate's Yamen and shouted "The powerful ministers ruined the country." They denounced the censors of the Censor's Yamen to let down the grace of the emperor and the hope of the people. They sat down and ignored the difficulties in the court. After a day of trouble, the gate of the Censor's Yamen was closed and ignored the shouting of these students. The yamen in Yanjing Prefecture and the officers sent by the Dali Temple did not stop the students and let them shout in front of the Censor's throat. As long as there was no trouble, they would watch from afar.
It took a day to make a fuss that day, but it didn't disperse at dusk. I thought this was the only thing, but who knew that early in the morning of the next day, a large group of people were blocking the Censorate's Office, and the number of people was much higher than the first day.
For two consecutive days, students gathered in front of the Censorate to denounce it. This matter soon spread throughout Yanjing City. Many well-informed people even figured out that it was three of the well-known students who were very famous, and many people soon knew about the names of the three.
Su Ziwen in Bozhou, Fang Li in Kuaiji, and Hou Kuan in Donghai!
However, the government's response strategy was also ignored as always, and allowed these students to shout in front of the Censorate. Most people in the capital gradually understood that the target of these students' trouble was to point the finger at the Han family, which is now in the court, and Han Xuandao was the powerful minister condemned by these students.
However, many people secretly admire Han Xuandao's patience.
A large group of students named Dao in front of the Censorate and scolded Han Xuandao for abusing power and chasing the country and threatening the imperial power, but Han Xuandao ignored it. This seemed very low-key, but in fact it was the most appropriate way to deal with it.
With Han Xuandao's power, it would be just a matter of one sentence to keep these people in prison, but it would never be blocked by catching a group of people. Moreover, once force is used, it would make him more powerful and become the public enemy of scholars all over the world.
Scholars represent social public opinion in this era, and public opinion often represents the hearts of the people.
Under the current situation, Han Xuandao adopted cold treatment measures, but it was also a wise move for the people.
Many people only feel that the government ignores the government and it takes a few days to see that the students will be full of breath when they see that shouting is useless.
But no one expected that early in the morning of the third day, although a large group of students did not go to the Censorate, they gathered more than 500 people, and walked through the streets and alleys in a vast way, blocking the mansion of the Minister of Revenue.
