The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 528
Li Deshan's face immediately changed when he heard this.To say that Li Deshan is also well-read poetry and books, although he is an eunuch, but the eunuchs in this dynasty have great power, so these people are all literate, and have Jinshi professors in the palace since they were young, so let’s talk about the way of Confucius and Mencius , is no worse than those scholars.

Now Zhang Wei, the Secretary of the Imperial Academy, obviously did not take him seriously by talking like this.

It should be said that apart from liking money, these eunuchs are most sensitive to their own face.Now that Zhang Wei is slapping himself in the face in front of so many people, how can Li Deshan tolerate it?

"Hmph, well, since that's the case, I'll let you know what the heaven, earth, monarch, relative and teacher are, and monarchs and ministers are like father and son."

After Li Deshan said this, he yelled at the four weeks' soldiers, "Come on, take down all these traitors."

According to Li Deshan's orders in his life, countless soldiers rushed in and surrounded Zhang Wei and these Tai students.

There was no fear on Zhang Wei's face, and he looked up to the sky and laughed, "Hahaha, the imperial court has supported scholars for nearly a hundred years, and today is the time for me to repay the king with my death."

After saying this, not only did he not run away, but he put his hands behind his back and waited for these soldiers to come and take him.

But the other college students didn't have such great ability. Seeing the soldiers swarming in, these people trembled with fright and turned pale.

But there are also a few students who are courageous. They came to Zhang Wei's side together, protected him in the middle, and wanted to fight to the death with the soldiers who came over.

But the difference in strength is too great, just a few of them have no strength to restrain chickens, where are these opponents who are like wolves and tigers, they are all knocked down to the ground in one fell swoop, and they are tied up firmly one by one.

Even Zhang Wei was kicked on the ground by a young soldier with a lengtou, and then tied up tightly.

Zhang Wei was already bruised and swollen at this time, although he was tied up, he still shouted: "I am the Secretary of the Imperial College, without the emperor's will, who would dare to take me?"

Li Deshan looked at him with an unfriendly expression, and then sneered: "An official of the Imperial Academy, Siye, who is as big as a sesame seed, dares to yell here. Someone will put him in the sky prison and wait for the prime minister to punish him."

After Li Deshan gave his orders, the soldiers immediately dragged the hundreds of people to the prison.

These frail scholars, just being dragged forward like dead dogs by soldiers on the street, crying loudly, is really miserable.

And those Tai students who had already escaped did not go far. When they saw this situation in the corners and alleys, not only did they not sympathize with these Tai students, but felt a sense of gratitude in their hearts.

Fortunately, people like myself walked fast, otherwise they would be arrested and locked up in the prison, and from now on this body's reputation would be over.

At the same time, some people laughed at the stupidity of these scholars. Can an egg touch a rock?Follow along to build up your prestige and show off your integrity, but is it true that you are really desperate?
And along the way, the common people would point and point when they saw this scene, laughing at these scholars for being overconfident.

There are also some people who, seeing this situation, are not very sorry. These scholars in the Imperial College are also the pride of heaven. They made a wrong step and were dragged in the street like prisoners.

Seeing that this matter was settled, Li Deshan turned around and said to the general guarding the Meridian Gate: "We are an important place in the imperial palace, and if someone feels that we should beat them out directly, if they rush into the palace gate, they will be punished as a crime of treason, and they will be killed."

After Li Deshan finished explaining, he brought the eunuchs around him back into the palace, and went straight to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to talk to Jia Ke.

Li Deshan is here to deal with the affairs of the Guozijian students, but there are many eyes staring nearby.

One of them was dressed in the rough clothes of the common people and looked very honest, but the man with sharp eyes could see all this clearly.

This man watched the elite soldiers disperse all the scholars, and the remaining dozens of stubborn ones were also tied up and arrested. At this time, he let out a long breath. If you fall into it, it will be difficult to save yourself from prison today.

But the matter was over for this man, he turned around and came to an alley, where a small sedan chair was parked. When the man got on the sedan chair, the bearer immediately carried him and disappeared into the street.

After a while, they stopped at the back door of a high-walled courtyard. The bearer knocked on the door, and the back door was opened immediately.

The sedan chair was directly carried into the courtyard, and the middle-aged man got off the sedan chair, and immediately a man who looked like a eunuch came over to give him a thousand blows, "My lord, I'm here to greet you."

The middle-aged man asked Eunuch Zhao to get up, and then asked, "Has the lord got up?"

"Returning to your lord, the prince has already had lunch, and ordered me to wait for you here."

"Take me to see the prince."

So eunuch Zhao led the way, and the middle-aged man followed behind. After three turns, they came to a beautifully decorated study room.

When they came to the door of the study, the little eunuch who guarded the door saw the two of them coming, so he hurried up to salute them: "I have seen the chief executive, I have seen Lord Wang."

The eunuch's words alarmed the nobleman in the room, "Is Hong Xuan back?"

Wang Hongxuan listened to the nobleman's question inside, and quickly agreed outside the house, and then went in directly without waiting for the eunuchs to open the door curtain.

When Wang Hongxuan entered the study, he saw a young man with a serious expression sitting inside.

Seeing this young man, Wang Hongxuan hurried up to salute, "My subject, Wang Hongxuan, has seen the prince."

It turned out that this young man turned out to be King Gongshun.

Seeing Wang Hongxuan saluting, King Gongshun raised his hand and said, "You don't need to be too polite, take your seat quickly."

Only then did Wang Hongxuan sit down at the side, and King Gongshun saw Wang Hongxuan was seated, "I don't know what's going on outside my door?"

"It's all in the hands of the prince. Jia Ke is not merciful. Zhang Wei has already been brought down for questioning."

King Gongshun was silent for a while after listening, and then said: "This is also expected. After you go back, let our people not act rashly. Now that Jia Ke is in power, we don't need to fight hard with him. Let's see if we can do it in the future." Find an opportunity to give him a fatal blow."

Wang Hongxuan could only nod his head when he heard this, and said helplessly, "We are not strong enough now, so we can only cause Jia Ke some trouble."

Unexpectedly, King Gong Shun smiled and shook his head, "This is not a small trouble, those scholars in the Imperial College, which one is not born in a family, as long as the people behind them are dissatisfied with Jia Ke, Jia Ke will not be able to rule the world so easily. "

After listening to Gong Shunmeng's words, Wang Hongxuan suddenly realized that King Gongshun did not plan this matter because he wanted to do something to Jia Ke?Instead, he wants Jia Ke to oppose the world's aristocratic families.

"It's still the lord's ingenious plan. How can that brat Jia Ke be the lord's opponent?"

King Gongshun shook his head when he heard this, and then he just smiled and said nothing.

Besides, Jia Ke was at the military aircraft office at this time, discussing with several other military ministers about the flood in the south and the drought in the north.

These two matters have always been the top priorities of this year. When the emperor was in power, he did not handle them properly, but only temporarily suppressed them. Now that Jia Ke is in charge of the government, he keeps his word and wants to handle this matter properly, otherwise next year But it's hard to say.

"My lords, the floods in the south have been causing trouble for a while, and now it's going to be winter, everyone should have a charter, otherwise, if the trouble continues, something will be wrong."

At this time, the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department, Sun Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, first came out of the shift and said, "My lord, this subordinate has already thought about this matter. Now Tian Ye is doing well in the south. Some time ago, some food was allocated. Silver taels. I think he will be able to spend this year in peace, and by the beginning of next spring, food from all over the country will be delivered, and he will be allocated some seeds, so the prosperity of the south will soon be restored."

Fan Kang, who took over as Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, also came out and said in agreement: "Master Sun is right. I also heard that those big households who appeared in Huizhou merchants have already purchased grain from the south and started to release grain. burden."

Jia Ke knew Huizhou merchants, but they were one of the three major merchant gangs in the world. They were wealthy and powerful. Since they made a move, they would definitely not cause too much fluctuation in their hometown.

Then there is Shaanxi, which is not supported by Huizhou merchants like the Lianghuai area.It's not like in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, it was rich and wild, but now it's a land of high loess and high slopes, and poverty.

"Since the two Huaihe Rivers must be safe, what are you going to do about the Shaanxi matter?"

Everyone looked at each other now, feeling a little headache for Shaanxi.

Finally, Zhang Chaoxin, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, stood up, "My lord, this year's workload has been determined to include two lakes and Sichuan, and the supply of food can cover the past. Next year, I'm afraid I will really have to open an internal warehouse for the relief that my lord mentioned a while ago." Sacrifice the victims."

Jia Ke thought for a while, the one who opened the inner treasury was also the emperor's inner treasury, and there was no loss to herself, and the emperor was now imprisoned by herself, so the treasures in the inner treasury were all spent by herself.

The emperor lacked these extraneous possessions and had no money to go around, so he could temporarily save his life.

Alas, at this time, I still think about the emperor, how kind.Jia Ke also began to feel that she was not so bad.

Now that he had made up his mind, Jia Ke said to the following: "What do you think of Zhang Chaoxin's idea?"

Sun Yan, as the foreman of the military aircraft, naturally expressed his opinion first, "My subordinates agree with Mr. Zhang's opinion. As long as there is a winning government, most of the food in the south of the Yangtze River will be transported to the north for talks, which will not be able to appease the complaints of the people."

Others also thought it was a good idea, so they agreed together.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Jia Ke said, "Since that's the case, let's post a message to reassure the governor of Shaanxi, otherwise he might be restless."

At this time, old Meng Ming, who had been silent all this time, spoke, "Send a message to the Prime Minister, and ask the Prime Minister to send a message to the two lakes and Sichuan, and let them transport the autumn grain as soon as it arrives, otherwise there will be troubles in Shaanxi."

Jia Ke nodded, and then said to Sun Yan: "You should do this quickly, don't delay."

Sun Yan nodded quickly after listening, "Don't worry, my lord, I will send a message in a while, ordering Babaili to send it urgently."

While they were discussing, Li Deshan came in from the outside, leaned gently against the wall and slipped behind Jia Ke, and said, "Master, the slaves have already dismissed the scholars outside the Meridian Gate."

"Nothing happened, did it?"

"Master, don't worry, these people are weak-boned people. After a few words from the slave, most of them ran away, leaving only two or three hundred people with Zhang Wei. The slave has already ordered the soldiers to send them to the prison .”

Jia Ke smiled slightly when he heard this, and then said to Sun Yan below: "You have heard what you said just now, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and this matter will finally fall on you."

After listening to this, Sun Yan asked cautiously: "How will my lord deal with these people?"

Jia Ke pondered for a moment, and then said: "Those scholars teach a few words, pick up a few leaders and deprive them of their fame, so as to imitate others. As for that Zhang Wei, he must not be lightly forgiven. Seeing that he is very old, he will be punished lightly. Hainan, you must not leave for life.”
