Raid

Chapter 104 Incitement
Isn't Zhan Qirui's best at talking and debating to incite people's hearts?

Wasn't it because of Zhan Qirui's instigation that countless scholars wrote inscriptions in front of Guan Zhi's door?

After getting his wife's suggestion, Zhan Qirui immediately published a famous post and held a symposium in the Chansi Temple.

Different from the past talks, this symposium is about talking about the situation.

"Everyone is a generation who inherited court training from a young age and has read poems and books. We participate in scientific research and join the court in order to uphold the righteous way, to be loyal to the country, and to benefit the people. Now loyal ministers are wronged, traitors are rampant, Huang Zhong It was completely destroyed, and Wa Ke was thundering. Rongzhi ascended to heaven, and weaved prisons for injustice. We should use the imperial examination to eliminate dissidents, should we sit idly by?" Zhan Qirui stood on the high platform, looked at the students under the stage, and said every sentence The words are incomparably sonorous and powerful, and they are resounding.

"Naturally not!" A self-willed student echoed, "If things go on like this and encourage treachery, this is tantamount to destroying the foundation of our Northern Qi Dynasty."

Originally, after the massive suppression by the Shence Army, although the students were resentful, they were somewhat apprehensive.

But Rongzhi has been acting excessively and arrogantly recently, and the students have long had resentment in their hearts. Zhan Qirui has always had a strong appeal among the students. He took the lead in saying this, and many people talked and echoed.

"Although we have no official or position, we have fame and fame. The monthly subsidy in the middle of the court is also regarded as the salary of the emperor. How can we not share the worries of the holy one? Although we cannot go to the temple, we cannot just sit idly by." Some students chimed in.

Zhan Qirui nodded approvingly, looked at the man, and continued: "What this senior brother said is very true. We can't just sit idly by when we see a traitor in power. The Holy One rewards those who can 'follow the court', Zhan Qirui But I think it’s not enough. Now that the traitor has deceived the Holy Majesty, it’s hard for loyal ministers to complain. I don’t know if you dare to follow Zhan to the gate of the imperial city, write a petition together, beat the Dengwen drum, and appeal to the Holy Majesty to impeach the traitor Rong Zhi ? Do your best for the court and for the country!"

"Why don't you dare!" Some students responded after hearing the sound.

"Yes! In ancient times, civil servants have died admonishing, if they can serve as court officials, they will be famous in history. Whether it is for the country or for oneself, why not do it?"

The students responded like a tide, surging in the Chansi Temple one after another.

The petition was written very quickly. In fact, it was a petition, but Zhan Qirui was the only one who wrote it. He was very talented, and the articles he wrote were also beautiful.Able to incite the hearts of the people and criticize traitors, he used words as arrows to shoot at Rong Zhi mercilessly.

After Zhan Qirui finished writing, he dictated it to the students in the Chansi Temple, and after it was decided, he signed it one by one.

In the early morning of the next day, a group of people rushed towards the gate of the palace. Zhan Qirui beat the drums, another read the petition, and the rest of the students stood in front of the palace gate one by one.

When Li Shengxi heard about this incident, she immediately understood Rong Zhi's anomaly during this period of time. He didn't really want to fabricate the tragedy of unjust imprisonment, but he wanted to arouse public anger.

Including the provocative words to Zhan Qirui in the medical hall that day.

Zhan Qirui has the greatest reputation among the students, and he has a sharp mouth, which is best at instigating people's hearts.

Today's situation was predicted by Rong Zhi long ago, and it can even be said that it was planned by himself.

Meng Songyan temporarily resigned from office, King Wu went down to the melon fields and plums, and Zhou Fa retired early. Among the ruling and opposition parties, Guanzhi's family dominated, and Emperor Yuanjia listened and believed, and no one could stop him.

If Rong Zhi followed Guan Zhi's idea, it would be tantamount to pointing the butcher knife at the person he least wanted to face.

If he resisted Guan Zhi openly, he would just replace the person holding the sword, and he himself would become a dead soul under the sword.

No matter what he does, the final result will not change.

So he simply found another way and chose another path.

He acted like a villain who was proud of his ambition, and made full use of the arbitrary power in his hands.Whether it is an official or a student, as long as there is a little involvement, regardless of whether he is innocent or not, he will be sent to prison.Then they tortured a few of those who really committed crimes casually, and acted like a cruel official.

He doesn't need to do anything, his reputation of being arrogant and domineering is enough to spread in Wangjing.

After the public anger was aroused, even Emperor Yuan Jia had to compromise.Guan Zhi would also have to give in because of fear.

This is different from what happened to students in the past.Needless to say, Meng Songyan's appeal, his resignation, would have caused dissatisfaction among many people.

What's more, there is Rongzhi's vicious reputation.People in ancient times hated people like Rong Zhi who "weave accusations widely and create unjust cases".Regardless of whether Rongzhi is such a person or not, at least he is such a person in the eyes of the common people.

In this way, everything will turn around. In order to appease the people, the imperial court will definitely remove Rong Zhi and re-appoint officials to handle the matter.Meng Songyan will also be welcomed back by the court and entrusted with important tasks.

There is no doubt.

As long as an official with a clear heart is replaced, the damage caused by this incident will be the least, and the major incident will be reduced to a small one.Pick it up high and let it go gently.After all, the exam questions came from people related to the deputy examiners.However, there is no conclusive evidence to prove that it is related to the assistant examiner-you must know that the seal of the examination question is intact and has not been touched so far.

In the end, those deputy examiners were charged with at most one charge of incompetence, and they may not be dismissed or demoted.

This is the result that Rong Zhi wants. It is said that scholars value reputation, but he is using his reputation as a bargaining chip to break the game.

Even after a few years, the Guan Party is exterminated, and with today's events, it is impossible for him to completely recover his name.

The image of cruel officials is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the reputation of treacherous ministers is widely spread. It would take a lifetime to wash it off.

At that time, without the protection of the party management, even if Meng Songyan was used as a guarantor, the court would probably not want to use him.

This is still a good situation, if Meng Songyan dies, no one will be able to justify his name.

He didn't bet on his reputation and future, he lost his reputation and future, and personally cut off his retreat.

For this country.

For this country that is already riddled with holes and rotten from the root.

At this moment, Li Shengxi suddenly wanted to ask Rong Zhi if it was worthwhile to do so, but he would know without asking, but if Rong Zhi felt that it was not worth it in his heart, he would not do it.

Li Shengxi couldn't help thinking, if he was in a different place and he was in Rongzhi's situation, would he do this?
After thinking for a moment, she felt that she would do the same.However, she is not necessarily for this country, she is for the people and the people with lofty ideals in the country.

If you don't know your side, the world will not be stable.

Perhaps, Rong Zhi is also like this, he is not loyal to this country, what he is loyal to is the people of this country.
