In addition, tens of thousands of local warriors gathered in the outer city of the capital, and even knelt towards the imperial city to stand up for these scholars.

"Your Majesty, you can't treat the gentlemen Wenquxing like this. God will punish you like this!"

"Scholars all descend to earth from the stars. How can they make them like us?"

"Your Majesty Wenquxing has been kind to us!"

These rural warriors were kneeling outside the city and shouting like this.

The city censor Yang Weiyuan was naturally shocked when he saw this scene. He did not expect that some people would come to speak up for the scholars and said to himself: "When did the people be so sensible?"

He was not good at driving away without permission, after all, he was only responsible for public security in the outside of the capital.

Therefore, Yang Weiyuan only sent someone to inform the cabinet.

In addition, Wu Mengming, the assistant commander of the Jinyiwei who was responsible for the city defense, just ordered the sealing of the inner and outer city gates and went to the palace to report the matter to the emperor.

Emperor Zhu Youxiao soon learned about this from the cabinet and the Jinyiwei.

Even not long after, Zhu Youxiao learned about what happened in Wanping County.

"Wenquxing? When will scholars become gods!"

Zhu Youxiao felt it was fresh about this, but he was not surprised.

He knew this era, and he did not know whether it was the people who took the initiative or the rulers who intentionally began to deify literati and link them with things like the Star Lord, which were like gods, to show the honor of scholars.

He remembered that a plot about Fan Jin's passing of the Scholars in "The Scholars" was about Fan Jin's passing of the Scholars. After Fan Jin passed the Scholars, his father-in-law did not dare to slap him again because Butcher Hu began to think that Fan Jin was the star of Wenqu and could not be beaten.

In this era, gods and other things have a strong deterrence to the people.

Many people are not afraid of anything and are afraid of gods.

Therefore, it is not surprising that ordinary people respect scholars and respect scholars. They also hope that their descendants can become scholars. They also believe that everything is inferior but only those who are good at studying, but believe that good men should study if they do not serve in the army.

But Zhu Youxiao also knew that this was not that simple. Even if the people respected scholars and admired scholars, they would not use the method of gathering people to demonstrate and shout slogans to the government office or even the gates of the capital to uphold the injustice for scholars.

After all, the people of this era do not have the awareness and habit of participating in politics, and are also full of fear of the government office unless someone encourages it.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao could guess that it was not that simple.

He also knew that these local heroes who gathered to protest and shouted slogans were not common people, but tenant farmers from the families of officials and gentry in northern Zhili near the capital, and were tenant farmers who took the initiative to contribute their own land! They came to speak up for the scholars, and their original intention was to continue to evade taxes and labor for their own interests.

"It is likely that there are reactionary officials and gentry instigating them! What other scholars are the Wenqu Star who descends to earth and cannot be punished! Why are scholars who are noble gods descending to earth and the masters of the world? These evil people who want to evade taxes should be severely punished! Otherwise, it will not be enough to correct the world and people's customs and give the common people a correct guide."

Zhu Youxiao said that.

"Your Majesty is wise, how can you ask Your Majesty, what should these people who cause trouble deal with it?"

Fang Congzhe asked.

Zhu Youxiao fell silent, clenched his fists and said, "Look at it first. Although they are all people, there are indeed differences between the people."

Fang Congzhe smiled and said, "What Your Majesty said is that, in the opinion of the ministers, this is the same as the previous incident of the nobles instigating the old military households to make trouble in the Censorate. They are aware that Your Majesty you have a kind heart to the common people and military households, and use this to prevent the officials and gentry from paying food as a member of the work."

"You are right. After all, it's just a matter of bullying me as the Emperor of the Han family!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded.

He had to admit that if it were not because he was the Han emperor, but because the ruler of China was a foreign emperor like the Qing Dynasty, then these Han people would not have the courage to kill all the Han people who made trouble.

...

Although these rural heroes in the capital area were still gathered to demonstrate in the Wanping and other county governments and outside the capital, shouting slogans, even smashing the surrounding shops, or looting the surrounding houses, the reform of officials and gentry paying food as a whole is still being implemented.

The Xichang has completed the autumn tax collection work after the implementation of the new policy of collecting officials and gentry's food and service as a whole in Daming, Baoding and Zhending, North Zhili, which means that the policy of collecting officials and gentry's food and service as a whole in the three governments has officially been implemented.

But the closer we get to Shuntian Prefecture, the center of Northern Zhili, there are more and more rural brave men gathered to oppose the joint payment of food and work as a member of officials and gentry, and almost few scholars, officials and gentry participated.

These scholars, officials and gentry have learned their skills now and will not jump out like before.

These rural warriors, that is, tenant farmers who actively contributed their land to the families of officials and gentry to avoid taxes, took the initiative to stop the new policy by making unfair reasons for scholars because of their own interests.

Therefore, when the Governor of the West Factory led the troops of the West Factory to the vicinity of Gyeonggi, he saw that many rural heroes had been surrounded by the entire Gyeonggi area.

"Why do so many people look like refugees, they are very orderly and obviously have leaders? Look, after they discover the government troops in our West Factory, they are looking for the leaders on their side with their eyes. In addition, they all look very cunning and are looking at us."

Han Zanzhou, the head of the Western Factory, started talking to Zhu Xieyuan.

Zhu Xieyuan also looked at these village heroes with deep eyes, nodded, and then said, "No matter these people, we will collect our taxes. If they dare to stop them, report them to the court immediately and ask Your Majesty to issue an order! What does Eunuch Han and Admiral He think?"

"It should be so!"

Han Zanzhou and He Shixian replied.

So, the people from Xichang continued to walk towards the capital.

But at this time, the leaders of these township heroes actually surrounded the people from the West Factory after a whispering.

"You people from the West Factory will be punished by the murder of the Wenquxing man, and you will be punished!"

"That's right! You are all traitors who poison the men, so you can't let you go!"

"Friends, beat these people from the West Factory to death!"

These rural warriors shouted loudly and began to throw mud at the people in the West Factory.

"Prepare for war!"

He Shixian shouted, then pulled out the knife directly. His servants and cavalry immediately took up the three-eyed gun.

"Slow down!"

Zhu Xieyuan shouted at this time, and then said to He Shixian: "Waiting for the imperial edict first! We only have the right to deal with tax resistance, otherwise we will be usurping or killing others without mercy!"

Han Zanzhou said: "Let's go to the palace with a different city gate. It has been blocked by the people and cannot get out!"

...

"There are many rural brave men who have condemned us scholars. Huang said that the government of officials and gentry, which is not the benefit of our civilian gentry, but also the benefit of the tenants. These people are quite a lot now, no less than the self-cultivated farmers who pay taxes to the court. Especially now, most of them are tenants who surrender voluntarily! Unless, His Majesty can ignore the lives and death of these ordinary tenants now! They will all slaughter them and force them to rebel!"

After learning that the village warriors outside the capital gathered to demonstrate, Huang Liji, the young minister and minister of Guanglu Temple, said something to the left deputy chief censor Song Quan.

"That's right! I don't know what Your Majesty will do! Now, the Huangming Pao is discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the Hu emperor entering China and the Han emperor's ruler China. In my opinion, if the Hu emperor is in charge, I'm afraid he doesn't have to think about it so much. Anyway, it's not because of the Han people who maintain the throne, so I can't kill them all! It's simple! However, Your Majesty is different. He is the Han emperor, and I don't know if he dares to cleanse me Han people at will."

Song Quan echoed.
