The extraordinary court meeting has long attracted the attention of people with a heart.
The helpers and bags in the capital inquired, and when it was not dawn, they shrank in the corners one by one, staring at each official they were interested in, revealing each other's information, referring to and thinking, and then integrating into their own ideas, ready to immediately return to their respective posts when they got the results, and spread these speculations or true information directly.
It's a very old business, and they count on this information to make money.
And in this era, in the entire Ming Dynasty, a new industry also came into being, that is, the editors and reporters of various newspapers, that is, the so-called paparazzi in later generations, they need these shocking news more, in exchange for some remuneration, not to mention, the most important thing is to make their newspapers popular and increase a lot of sales, as long as the newspaper can survive, their jobs will be secure.
The solemn noon gate was opened, and three or four hundred officials above the fifth rank in Beijing happily entered the solemn Purple Gold City, which really made these officials in the interior and other places in Beijing feel happy, because it was an honor.
As the door of the house was closed, the traffic inside and outside was completely cut off, but as the figures of the little eunuchs who came in and out flashed, the news on the Zijin store was constantly bought with copper coins and silver.
And at the end of each transaction, the Bang Xianbao who got the news and those reporters felt that something big was going on in the capital.
The three or four hundred officials who entered the Forbidden City before dawn to hold a court meeting, when it was getting late, actually came out in groups, and all of them were bare-headed, as if they had been dismissed, but looking at the expressions of these people, each of them was not a sad face, and everyone was not depressed for losing the fame gained in the cold window of the past ten years, but one by one, like a rooster who had won a fight, so proud and high-spirited, walking in a group on the street, their slaves, sedan chairmen, carriages and horses, One by one, they also walked proudly on the street, and the panicked people couldn't help but be even more panicked when they saw such a scene.
What kind of trouble is this?
But at this time, an official arrived at the door of his house, and then arched his hand at a column of officials who did not wear official hats: "Colleagues, I will carry my mother to the city now, and I will definitely defend this Beijing city to the death, and I must protect this home for the people of this capital, but I will take the first step and wait for you to accompany you." ” The other officials threw their hands from him together: "Go and go together." ” The official turned around and went back to his yard and went straight to the old mother's bedroom.
The old mother has been paralyzed for many years, if it were not for the dividends of the business bank, with the low cost of this official, the hard messenger, would have been unable to give the mother medicine, at this time, seeing the old lady lying on the bed with a ruddy face, I couldn't bear it, so tears flowed down, and quietly knelt down for the mother.
The footsteps of the son coming in, had already alarmed the sleeping mother, opened his eyes and saw his son solemnly kneeling down for himself, and then saw that there was no official hat on his head, as if he knew something, he kindly stretched out her hand and gently stroked the head of the 50-year-old son, just like when he was a child: "Although my mother is old, my heart is not confused, and I also know that you have been in the cold window for ten years, the first in the imperial examination, and it is not easy to get to this point today, politics, you don't know much about that thing, but my mother has been telling you that for the official and the heart, My grandson reads the newspaper to me every day, and I also know that this is a major event in the world, and it doesn't matter if the official is lost, as long as you are worthy of your conscience, then you can glorify your ancestors in the future. ” This official kowtowed to his mother, Jiang Chaotang's affairs, as it was, and finally raised his head and said with tears in his eyes: "For the sake of this country, our lonely party must reverse this situation, this is a party struggle that has to be done, otherwise this country will be completely finished, so, please understand the good intentions of the son, and let the mother sleep in the city with the son, it is unfilial." ” As a result, when the old lady heard this, not only did she not blame at all, but slammed her fist on the bed: "I don't understand your politics, and I don't care if you are a show or not, but this feat of yours, I will definitely support the old lady, come, immediately take all the family children, carry the old lady on your back, let's go to the city, just our family, directly face the 40,000 army of the Qing soldiers, and never retreat." ” With the old lady's order, the whole yard began to be busy, three generations of children and grandchildren, plus the slave mother-in-law, with the old lady on his back of the official, strode out of the yard, walked on the long street, all the people saw this line of old and young resolute expression, all sighed in their hearts, and then saw the ancestral tablet tightly held in the old lady's arms, which made all the people's blood boil.
A wave of abandonment of officials absolutely shook the world, one or two abandonment of officials is enough, but hundreds of officials abandon the official that is a big event, more importantly, the excuse for abandoning the official is quite grandiose, not for any personal gain, but for the country, those officials who abandoned the official came one by one, with all the small families, carrying pots and pans directly to the city, men and women, old and young, as well as infant children, just went to the city, to fight for the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, counting on these people to defend the city is simply a joke, but this momentum makes the people excited, and the originally frightened people's hearts have settled down again, especially these officials who have abandoned the official keep announcing that Inspector Lu has led troops into the King of Guanqin, and the border army has also gathered at Longjing Pass under the call of the Inspector, resolutely not letting a Qing soldier walk out of the Great Wall alive, which makes the people cheer even more.
Lu Hanqiang's resoluteness to the outside world is definitely obvious to all, and not to let a foreign race go out of the land of the Han family, everyone firmly believes in this.
On the streets of the capital, there were once again thousands of empty alleys, and all the people looked at the officials who dragged their families and mouths, calling friends and striding towards the city.
When did they see such an official at this time, the people have forgotten the original high-minded attitude of these officials, and have forgotten the past days when these officials were powerful and prosperous, and they are grateful, so they have begun to prepare, ready to use this blood to go to the city, for this country, for this homeland, to fight to the death.
The people began to eagerly prepare to participate in the defense of the city, waiting for the call of the government.
The people are no better than those officials, and if the people dare to act rashly, it is a capital crime, so everyone looks forward to it, waiting for the order to be called.
However, this conscription order was really easy to make, but it could not be carried out, because all the officials who could carry it out had abandoned their posts. t1706231537:
