Chapter 41 Official Prestige
Pu Chuanluo did not take this white-rod soldier seriously. After all, he is not a veteran with rich combat experience, and he doesn't know how powerful the white-rod soldier with hooked spears in front of him is. He only thinks he is an ordinary official infantryman.
Therefore, Pu Chuanluo did not hesitate and continued to clamp the horse's legs with his legs, and his eyes were about to smash the white-rod infantry soldiers in front of him with his eyes open.
In an instant, Pu Chuanluo rode his horse and rushed towards the group of infantrymen.
But what surprised Pu Chuanluo was that the group of infantrymen remained calm and did not retreat because of the horses rushing, but they still stood still with their spears.
Pu Chuanluo was shocked, and fear flashed in his eyes, and he had to tie the reins and turn his horse's head sharply.
However, at this time, Ma Xianglin had already shot him with an arrow and hit his mount.
Suddenly, the horse sounded.
Pu Chuanluo was thrown down by a horse that suddenly fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Fengyi, like Ma Xianglin, came from the side wearing a silver armor and a white robe, holding a white spear and pressing it against Pu Chuanluo's throat, capturing him alive.
At that time, the other dead men knew that it was impossible to break into the city, so they began to retreat voluntarily.
Pu Chuanluo suddenly caught Zhang Fengyi's spear and sent it to his throat, and he was suddenly extinguished.
Zhang Fengyi was shocked and looked at her mother-in-law, husband, and Xu Guangqi, who was standing in the middle of the horse, and wanted to explain that she didn't expect this person to commit suicide.
Xu Guangqi had just come to his senses.
After all, for him, as a civil servant, it was the first time he had seen such a scene of dozens of people fighting.
Therefore, Xu Guangqi was shocked for a moment and forgot to respond.
On the contrary, Ma Xianglin, who had long been quelled with his parents during the Wanli period, reacted first because of his youth and impulsiveness and immediately helped the Jinyiwei kill the rioters who broke into the city.
Xu Guangqi came to his senses and had to get off the horse immediately and asked Liu Baihu, the Jinyiwei who was still guarding You'anmen: "What's going on?"
Seeing that Xu Guangqi was wearing a scarlet official robe and his tutor was a third-rank civil servant, Liu Baihu naturally did not dare to neglect it, so he hurriedly knelt down: "Reported to the ministry, because the above requested a city to be closed, the whole city is only allowed to enter but not exit, in order to prevent the imperial offender from escaping from the city, so illegal people attempted to break out of the city!"
"Please get up!"
Xu Guangqi hurriedly helped Liu Baihu up.
At this time.
Wu Mengming retreated after arranging a group of Jinyiwei to pursue the remaining enemies.
But just as Wu Mengming was preparing to salute senior officials like Xu Guangqi, Miao Changqi, Liu Guojin and other Donglin officials came, and Fan Yuqing also changed into civil servant robe and mixed it in.
Miao Changqi and others were about to leave the city, but Ma Xianglin stopped him head-on.
Ma Xianglin hurriedly said: "Jinyiwei people have said just now that the capital has been closed, and only entry and not exit are allowed."
When Miao Changqi saw the military officer in front of him so ignorant, he couldn't help but shouted angrily: "Rareless! You are a low-ranking military officer, who gives you the courage to talk to me like this! Are you so ignorant of your superiority?!"
Seeing this, Wu Mengming, a thousand households of the Jinyiwei, came and knelt down and bowed, saying, "Don't be angry, but Eunuch Wei of the East Factory has passed on this order. We are also following the order. Please understand."
Wu Mengming is no better than Xu Xianchun. After all, Xu Xianchun is the Dongchang manager of the Qianhu, and he is related to the royal relatives, so there is no need to kneel down in front of the civil servants.
But to this era of the Ming Dynasty, military officers generally have to kneel down when they meet powerful civil servants.
Although Wu Mengming was loyal to his duties, he did not dare to break the customs of the officialdom, so he naturally knelt down.
Just like Liu Baihu knelt on Xu Guangqi just now.
Miao Changqi and others also became more confident and asked Ma Xianglin: "Who are you? Don't you know how to treat your respect?"
Ma Xianglin looked at Wu Mengming kneeling on the ground, thinking that he would also kneel down?
"Madam, do you see?"
Seeing this, Zhang Fengyi couldn't help but look at Qin Liangyu.
However, at this time, Miao Changqi sneered first and said to Liu Guojin, the head of the Ministry of War behind him: "Master Liu, it seems that there are still ignorant military officers. How did you choose military officers in the Wuxuan Department?"
Among the five veterans, Guo Hu was the most mature, so he couldn't help but say to Qin Liangyu: "Big girl, these civil servants are all Wenquxing, so they can't be bothered. Nephew Ma's future is still in their hands. You should ask Nephew Ma to kneel down and kowtow to them and apologize. Otherwise, do you still want Nephew Ma to regain his father and then withdraw?"
After hearing Guo Hu's advice, Qin Liangyu couldn't help but open her eyes slightly and clench her fists, but she still chose to listen to Guo Hu, endured this tone, and shouted: "Lin'er, don't be rude!"
When Ma Xianglin heard his mother say this, he had to reply, "Yes!"
Then, Ma Xianglin threw his spear heavily on the ground, gritted his teeth and knelt down.
Seeing this, Miao Changqi smiled proudly.
The civil servants behind him all laughed brightly because of this.
But before Ma Xianglin had time to kneel down, Xu Guangqi immediately supported Ma Xianglin's arm and looked at Miao Changqi and others coldly: "These are all guards of the emperor's decree. Miao Hanlin, do you really want to receive this kneeling ceremony, or do you want to respect the emperor?"
After hearing Xu Guangqi's words, Miao Changqi immediately stopped his smile, and was not happy to get involved with Xu Guangqi again. He snorted directly: "We won't talk to the slander!"
As he said that, Miao Changqi led all the Donglin civil servants to the outside of the You'anmen city gate.
Seeing this, Xu Guangqi pointed directly at Miao Changqi: "Stop! You didn't hear the decree from Wu Qianhu, or did you think that Your Majesty's decree would not control you?"
As he said that, Xu Guangqi ordered Wu Mengming: "Wu Qianhu, you are the close ministers of the Jinyiwei, and you are still kneeling down and doing something. Do you really want to let the emperor's honor be gone? Even if you are close ministers of the emperor without being strong, the emperor will also be humiliated by such perverse ministers! As a result, the people in the world do not know that there is a emperor, but only know that there is a censor! Why don't you get up quickly and stop them! Otherwise, I will be the first to ask the emperor to kill you!"
Xu Guangqi angrily shouted at Wu Mengming.
Wu Mengming was so scared that he stood up when he heard Xu Guangqi say this. He had to admit that it was more orderly to fight with civil servants. He absolutely could not explain the reason for such righteous words.
When Miao Changqi heard Xu Guangqi say this, he was a little angry and embarrassed. He didn't want to leave the city directly. He just forced himself to say, "Xu Guangqi, you are not the governor of the East Factory and you don't have any control over the Jinyiwei. The city defense matter has nothing to do with you. Don't you make a big fuss here. If you believe it or not, I can still write your own book and say that you are abusing power and chaotic government!"
Xu Guangqi said: "I am the right minister of the Ministry of War and the left assistant censor. He has the right to inquire about the defense of the world city and the power to inquire about the rules and regulations of the court. Do you think this has nothing to do with me?"
As Xu Guangqi said that, he shouted to the guards he was equipped with: "Whether and left the city today, whoever wants to resist the order will kill me for him!"
