Kaifeng.

Henan Gongyuan.

More than 100 elders from the Henan Council sat upright in the lobby, looking at Meng Huali who had just returned from Guide in the middle.

Guide is not the location of the Council.

Chen Li just came there with the head of the Council and mobilized money and food for Xing Jie nearby.

Besides, his family is also a virtue.

Guide Prefecture Yucheng County.

The Henan Council is in Kaifeng, the provincial capital. The entire eight prefectures in Henan have always been under the jurisdiction of 96 counties, with a total of 186 elders. The selection of such elders actually has no standards, and they are not recommended. They are more convened based on local prestige. In principle, there must be one in each county, but because the imperial examination situations of each county are different, in fact, many counties do not have Jinshi, and some are officials outside, so they can only be juren or even students. The imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty are very unbalanced. It is not rare for a county to not be eligible for a Jinshi for decades.

For example, in his hometown of Teng County, Yuandududu, he was actually a Jinshi in half a century.

After he passed the Jinshi, he went to Dongguan to become a salt merchant at home and also lost to the gentry group in Guangzhou, a gentry group in the imperial examination area. This can be said that Tengxian had not been awarded a Jinshi in the past century.

However, those places of imperial examination, such as Xiangfu, Luoyang, will definitely not have only one village official, or even one family with generations of soldiers. The conditions must be relaxed for these places, and at least two or even three or four elders must be there. In addition, the situation here in Henan is different from Shandong, and the number of people in the Shandong Council is relatively small. After all, Xing Jie himself is from Shandong.

The Henan Council needs more people.

Or if you keep a close eye on him, after all, everyone gives him money and grain to prevent him from taking the opportunity to work with Shandong gentry to cheat Henan gentry.

But now...

"It's simply crazy, such atrocities are angry with God!"

Meng Huali, who ran back from Guide, roared.

After brutally massacred five righteous men, Xing Jie arrested loyal ministers and righteous men in Guide City. Bi Ziyan and others were arrested, and many scholars who did not have time to escape were also imprisoned in the prefectures.

But most of them escaped.

Then, he did not dare to provoke Xing Jie and the others. As for the time being, some scholars who did not catch up with the Guide tragedy were late, and led by Meng Huali to Kaifeng to ask the Henan Council for accusation...

"My husbands, I have watched Jize and others with my own eyes, and were killed by Xing Jie. Everything is still vivid in my mind. Xing Jie ordered the killing, and Chen Qianzhai was instigating him. Xing Jie's personal soldiers fired guns. In a blink of an eye, Jize and others fell into a pool of blood, and dozens of people were seriously injured. These people are all handsome in Henan, and now they are stained with blood. This is not only a shame for loyal ministers and righteous men, but also a shame for Henan!"

Ding Kuichu cried and accused.

"This is serious?"

Lao Liange from Yuzhou asked with a gloomy face.

Wang Zegu is from his Yuzhou, and Wang Zegu's older brother Wang Shugu and his younger brother Lian Biao are still in office.

"Little Song Gong, do you have to carry Ji Ze's body in front of you?"

Practicing state affairs said crying.

"In this way, we cannot bear it. We Henan people pay money and food to support Xing Jie's subordinates, but now we kill our Henan scholars, which is too much. Everyone, I propose to expel Xing Jie."

Lian Ge said.

"Xing Kuntian is the governor appointed by the court. How can we expel it? Besides, the scholars besieged the government office. After all, there is a mistake first. Just ask him to apologize."

Gao Gong's son Gao Wuguan said.

"What is wrong first? They are all loyal ministers and righteous men, so why are they wrong for the country? I will respect famous ministers and you are still a living student. But you still have not read enough of this sage book!"

Nanyang elder Li Li knocked on the floor tiles with a crutch and shouted.

He is a real elder, and this old guy was a Jinshi in the 32nd year of Jiajing.

Gao Wuguan's face turned red in an instant.

He is such a student!

Of course, he is not Gao Gong's own son. Gao Gong only has three daughters, and they all died at the age of fourteen or five. It has to be said that the old man was too smart in his life. In the end, he had to adopt Gao Wuguan, the son of his younger brother Gao, before he died. However, for some reason, he did not inherit the mind of the previous generation at all...

Well, this is indeed impossible to inherit.

"So what about the student? Can't the student talk?"

The Guangshan elder Cai Yizhong said angrily.

He is also a student.

"More than fifty old kids?"

An elder smiled.

Then there was a burst of laughter around immediately.

"No matter what Xing Kuntian's move is, he is the governor of military affairs appointed by His Majesty. No matter what the scholars ask for, he will eventually be besieging the government office. What's more, these people always say that they are pursuing the Hongguang era name to seek rebellion. This is tantamount to the open plan of rebellion. What's the loyalty and righteousness? Xing Kuntian's quick decision is a move to plan the country. However, you are indeed Jinshi, but as your Majesty, even Mu Temple, and Shi Temple, how can you be worthy of Your Majesty?"

Cai Yizhong broke out.

"After all the time, Gushi is approaching the Red Turban Army, afraid that it will immediately affect the war? Why do you have to speak out about loyalty and righteousness here?"

Liange also broke out.

He is indeed a Jinshi from the Wanli period!

"Cai is only loyal to His Majesty. Cai is a student of the Wanli Dynasty and will never betray Emperor Wanli!"

Cai Yizhong said angrily.

"You mean we are all against the party?"

An elder stood up and pointed at him and shouted.

...

Ding Kui and Chu Chao winked at the state affairs. The latter quietly turned around and walked out, and walked straight outside the Gongyuan. The scholars waiting outside immediately surrounded him.

"Everyone, it's time for us to eliminate the traitor!"

He said with a firm expression in the state affairs.

"Who is the treacherous minister?"

A scholar asked anxiously.

"Gao Wuguan, Cai Yizhong."

Practice state affairs and said.

"what to do?"

Another scholar asked.

"After entering, I caught them and beat them to death. Now the elders are all here, and I hope that these people will not have a chance to argue here. Let's just learn from the Shandong classmates, first control the elders, and then issue an order in the name of the council to summon all regions to expel Xing Jie and restore Henan in one fell swoop!"

Practice state affairs and said.

"Yes, just do it!"

"Respect the emperor to fight against traitors, and heaven punishes the traitors!"

...

The scholars were excited. The humiliation he had just suffered at Xing Jie was wiped out, and they became excited one after another. Several local scholars immediately greeted some scholars. They ran directly to the nearest wooden shop and found a bunch of wooden sticks from there. They didn't know what they were originally used for. Anyway, they were all more than half a person tall and were very suitable for holding.

Let them wait a moment when practicing state affairs.

Then he slipped back quietly, and the quarrel inside continued.

In fact, due to interests, it is rare to quarrel within the council every day, and not to quarrel.

Because the Nanyang system is close to Chengtian, they all want to join the Chengtian court. Because the Xinyang system is next to it, it is the militia area, and it will be unlucky as soon as the war begins, and they will inevitably be abandoned. So they have long been prepared to surrender to Yang Feng.

After all, surrender is not a big deal.

They all saw the reform of the militia area, and now the entire Huaixi is repairing water conservancy.

And other places also have various reasons...

Such things are inevitable.

Lian Guoshi looked at Ding Kuichu with inquiring eyes, and the latter looked at Meng Huali. Meng Huali nodded slightly, Lian Guoshi immediately turned around and left again, then walked outside again, and picked up his own big stick from the door.

"Students, it's time to eliminate traitors."

He shouted excitedly.

After saying that, he turned around without hesitation and walked into the tribute courtyard with a big stick.

"Respect the emperor to fight against traitors, and heaven punishes the traitors!"

"Respect the emperor to fight against traitors, and heaven punishes the traitors!"

...

The scholars behind were also roaring excitedly, swarming in like a group of huka. The clerks inside were so scared that they ran to the assembly hall...

"Not good, the scholars are rebelling!"

They screamed.

Then practice state affairs and quickly catch up with someone and knocked him down with a stick without hesitation.

The quarrel inside suddenly stopped, and the elders looked outside in shock, and rushed in with big sticks in practice, pointing to the unlucky Cai Yizhong...
To be continued...
