Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 122 How to End
It's the last week before it's on the shelves, and the collection is bleak. It will be updated this Wednesday. I hope everyone can help to collect it.

According to the news brought by Gu Mei, scholars from Suzhou and Hangzhou are rushing to Nanjing, which makes Li Zhenli and Li Xiangjun even more worried.

Gu Mei, on the other hand, looked calm and calm: "Don't worry, we won't be able to turn the sky around."

Li Xiangjun snorted coldly: "There is nothing to worry about, I want to see what Jin Yiwei can do to me!"

Once Li Xiangjun loses his temper, he doesn't care about anything.

Li Zhenli watched from the side and shook her head, but she cherished it even more in her heart. This daughter was exactly the same as when she was young.

Gu Mei laughed and said, "What can we do? The royal relatives and relatives forcibly robbed the women in the brothel, and the scholars and scholars uphold justice. It's not our turn to embarrass this matter."

"Then who should be in trouble?"

Li Xiangjun said casually, since Gu Mei came to Meixiang Tower, she felt less uncomfortable. In fact, she was not afraid of what would happen to Jin Yiwei, but she was afraid of being betrayed by her sisters.

Gu Mei came to comfort her, it didn't look like she was plotting against her.

And Li Xiangjun is also a smart person. She quickly realized that even if Yang Chao and Gu Mei plotted against her, if they plotted against her, they would not be able to count herself as the one who hit the stakes.

She even believed that Yang Chao asked him to hire a scholar to protect himself and Meixianglou.

As for Gu Mei's Meilou, it was because Gu Mei was smarter and gave Jin Yiwei 1000 taels of silver.

As for Meixianglou, neither she nor the host Li Zhenli are people who are used to flattery, so they suffered.

Gu Mei has been living in Meixiang Building for two days, and persuaded Li Xiangjun to write to some officials to seek protection.

As for Meilou, Gu Mei not only did not go back, but also closed the store directly. Gu Mei even persuaded Li Xiangjun to close the store as well.

But Li Xiangjun not only refused, but also enthusiastically entertained the scholars who came to Meixianglou every day, because she always felt that these scholars had such a big fight because they stood up for Meixianglou. She, Li Xiangjun, cannot be ruthless.

"It's not good, it's not good, some scholars are going to besiege Jinchai Building!"

Suddenly a servant hurried to report.

"what!"

Li Xiangjun and Gu Mei were startled and stood up at the same time.

Especially Li Xiangjun, who suddenly felt quite guilty. She suspected that Yang Chao was plotting against her just now, but Yang Chao's Jinchai Tower suddenly suffered.

She couldn't help but cast a blank glance at her adoptive mother, Li Zhenli, as if she was saying, "What kind of schemer is this? I've never heard of the truth that schemers plot against themselves."

"Where are the girls in the building?"

Gu Mei immediately asked, she was very concerned about the more than 100 ordinary-looking girls raised in the Jinchai Building.

In fact, Gu Mei never understood why Yang Chao raised so many girls, was it just to accompany famous prostitutes?

If it's just an accompaniment, it's not cost-effective to raise so many girls.

Gu Mei was almost certain that if someone else would not want those girls.

Therefore, she didn't quite understand Yang Chao's thoughts, but she knew that without Yang Chao, the future of those girls would not be very good. Either they would be sold to ordinary people as maids and concubines, or they would be directly bought into low-level kilns.

"Yes, where are the people in Jinchai Building?"

Li Xiangjun also hurriedly asked.

The servant gasped and said, "The barracks of Jinchai Building are blocking the front door, and the others have escaped through the back door. They sent people to borrow our family's painting boat."

Li Xiangjun immediately understood that the back door of the Jinchai Tower faced the Qinhuai River, which was the same as that of the Meixiang Tower. If there was a boat, these people could escape.

Without further ado, Li Xiangjun immediately said: "Okay, quickly send people to prepare the boat, and all of them will be sent to our Meixianglou first."

There are three painting boats in Meixiang Building, which can take away all the people from Jinchai Building at one time.

The servant promised and went downstairs.

……

After learning that the Jinchai Tower was still doomed, Yang Chao couldn't help but wryly smiled. He had already made psychological preparations for this.

But I still didn't expect these scholars to be so willful.

The scholars of Daming, like a group of spoiled children, are willful, selfish, cowardly, and extremely lack of sense of responsibility.

Literati groups such as Donglin and Fushe also naturally showed such groupness.

"If you are not a comrade, you are an enemy." The Donglin Party is extremely aggressive and defiant, and even the emperor sometimes ignores it.

In order to win the reputation of being a blunt and outspoken person, he scolded the emperor in court, hoping to be beaten by the emperor, and then become famous all over the world.

If the imperial decree of the emperor is not countersigned by the cabinet civil servants, the civil servants will not even accept the decree.

This situation seems to be very serious, and it seems to weaken the dictatorship of the monarchy.

But it’s fine if this is the case. Literati’s aggressiveness is actually a kind of willfulness. They will use any means to obtain the power they want, just like a child in later generations who wants to get his favorite toy. Throw and hit.

The combativeness of literati is a kind of selfishness. When they want power, whoever does not give it to him is an enemy, and whoever does not give him is a traitor.

It seems that everything in this country should belong to them. If civil servants block them, they are traitors and eunuchs.

The aggressiveness of literati is still a kind of timidity and cowardice, just like humble little people. If they are alone on the street, they will definitely behave politely, saying that a gentleman will not fight with his hands, because They can't beat others, and they will suffer a lot if they do it.

But when a large group of scholars gathered together, they began to show aggressiveness, and it was a fearless and hysterical aggressiveness, completely as unscrupulous as a group of mobs, and they dared to beat officials and storm yamen.

Obviously this is a cowardly person, covering up the subconscious effect of cowardice.

Literati are also extremely lack of sense of responsibility.

When the foreign enemies invaded, they behaved shamelessly one by one. They either hid themselves and claimed to be survivors, lived in seclusion, and flaunted their moral integrity;

This is the literati in the late Ming Dynasty, completely spoiled by this society.

"Okay, Brother Kang, it's good that people are fine."

Kang Hui came to deliver the letter in person, the Jinchai building was destroyed, the furniture and windows inside were smashed, and even the gate was torn down, it was almost set on fire.

Fortunately, Kang Hui was always careful. When he saw a large group of scholars walking towards the Jinchai Tower, he blocked the door first, and then let everyone go to the Qinhuai River from the back door. People sit on the painting boat of Meixiang Tower and leave calmly.

Yang Chao hid in the barracks during this time, waiting for the situation to change. Kang Hui stayed in the city and was responsible for helping Yang Chao to find out the news. If there was any trouble, he would immediately send someone to notify Yang Chao.

"Of course people are fine. Li Zhenli and Li Xiangjun asked our people to temporarily live in Meixiang Building."

Kang Hui said, frowning all the time.

Finally sighed: "But how should it end!"

Yang Chao laughed and said, "It's not your turn to worry about how it will end, it's the emperor's problem!"

Kang Hui said again: "Then what should we do?"

Yang Chao chuckled: "We should be able to return to the city immediately, and then we should open our business and earn money!"

Kang Hui was taken aback for a moment, and he let out an ah, but he didn't know what to say, he couldn't believe that such a big thing happened, and in the end, it seemed like nothing happened.

No one believed it, but Liu Rushi didn't believe it, so she hurriedly urged Wang Xiao to go back to Nanjing.

Gu Mei didn't believe it. She wrote letters to several senior officials she had good friends with, but none of them replied.

Li Zhenli and Li Xiangjun didn't believe it. The mother and daughter had prepared poison, and would rather die if they were humiliated.

Even the officials are afraid, so afraid that they dare not get involved with anyone involved in this disturbance, even a favorite courtesan.

"Prince Wang, since you are unwilling to go back, please send a boat to take me back!"

Liu Rushi was firm.

Wang Xiao had no choice but to hear from Yang Chao. Instead, he saw scholars on the canal running towards Nanjing every now and then. Although he was worried, Wang Xiao still took Liu Rushi back to Nanjing, but both of them disguised themselves. a bit.

At this time, Nanjing was in a state of being out of control, and the government's actions were inappropriate, or in other words, there was no action, and no action was inappropriate.

The reason why he didn't take any action was because he couldn't make up his mind.

The reason why I can't make up my mind is that the opinions of the six families are difficult to unify.

The Nanjing Six Ministry is different from Beijing. The Nanjing Six Ministry is headed by the Ministry of War, while Beijing is the first in the Ministry of Officials.

The Six Ministries of Nanjing are not unified internally, not to mention the Six Ministries, even the Ministry of War is not unified internally, and is divided into two factions of suppression and appeasement. In the cultural and educational department, these scholars are under their management.

Without a collective opinion, the Secretary of the Ministry of War would never dare to order the army to disperse the scholars privately. Yes, it is to disperse. No one dares to use the word "repression". The Ming Dynasty has been known as "nurturing scholars" for 300 years. "Nursing scholars" is a national policy. If you dare to make a mistake on this issue, it is a principled mistake.

They didn’t even dare to send troops to disperse them. At this time, these students are aggressive. If there is a conflict when sending troops at this time, it would be a big deal if one or two scholars died. The southern scholar team dared to shout loudly. If something bigger happens, others are not afraid. In the end, the person who gave the order will naturally suffer. With today's temper, he might lose his head.

Therefore, Shangshu of the Ministry of War is the most resolute Fu faction, and he will not bear the crime of sending soldiers to kill scholars anyway.

If he didn't send troops, in the end, at most he would be impeached, and the worst thing would be to be demoted to three ranks. If he sent troops, the devil would know what would happen if an unreasonable scholar met a soldier who didn't understand etiquette.

Moreover, the Ministry of Rites is also involved in this matter. If the Ministry of War sends troops and something happens, the Ministry of Rites will undoubtedly come out to impeach it immediately.

In this case, the Ministry of War will never stand out.

Therefore, ten days after the incident happened, thousands of scholars had already gathered in Nanjing City, but the government did nothing.
