Chapter 105 Luoyang Runaway

On this day, in Zhengzhou, Jingxi Road, more than a dozen households and nobles jointly formed a powerful armed team. Under the leadership of the Li family in Zhengzhou, they headed to the prefect's yamen.

The governor of Zhengzhou, He Lingshi, and the Li family were in-laws. The two sides had close contacts on weekdays. At this critical moment, the governor would not have much resistance. The only thing he could do was to wait for the Li family to bring people to do it, and finally he was forced to write to the court, demanding that the court abolish the Confucian scholar case and the "Legal Defense Law".

This scene was staged in almost many places. For a time, forces from all over the country began to close down. Tokyo abolished the Confucian scholar case and abolished the "Solicited Defense Law".

Around dusk, the Imperial City Guards dressed in black robes came out, and they quickly surrounded the prefecture government office.

"I am the emperor's personal army. You can leave quickly to avoid death. Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!"

Li Fangyuan, the head of the Li family, said: "When your son is held hostage by a villain today, you, as the emperor's personal guards, not only will you not go to the capital to serve Wang Qing, but you will attack the unarmed people here, and you will be a sinner in the Song Dynasty!"

Situ Heng said: "Sinners of the Song Dynasty? You are qualified to say this! Which eye do you see a certain person attacking the unarmed people? Why didn't you and others do your best when he went north to kill the Jin thieves? Confucian scholars openly confront the court and the emperor, which is to poison the country and harm the people. The emperor's sage virtues are not guilty of death. However, you are stubborn and dare to coerce the prefecture government office. Will you be defeated by heaven? "

Li Fangyuan said: "You are the minions who regard human life as grass. We are educated by the saints. I don't believe that the way of heaven is dazzling and there is no law of the king!"

"You mean not to give in?"

"We are willing to defend the way with death!"

"Okay! Men, kill! No one left!"

The guards of the Imperial City had a cold face and had no feelings. They rushed forward with a knife. The two sides fought each other in close combat and fought each other.

One of the guards of the Li family was cut off half of their heads by a sword by an Imperial City Department, and all the red and white brains flowed out.

The moment the knife was cut down, you could almost hear the sound of the brain bone being cut open.

The Imperial City Guards are all elites selected from the elites. They are all very skilled and have received rigorous training at the same time. Their organization and collaborative combat capabilities are comparable to those of real troops.

How could this group of temporary teams be the opponent of the Imperial City Guard?

This is a battle between sheep and wolves, without any suspense.

Just half an hour later, the team formed by the powerful Zhengzhou was almost wiped out, and the official office in Zhengzhou was controlled by the Imperial City Office. The governor He Lingshi was found to have conspiracy with the rebel Li Fangyuan and was escorted to the capital.

After a night of search, the remnants of the power formed by the powerful were swept away in Zhengzhou.

On the morning of the next day, Li Fangyuan and his three sons, and the other dozen other large clan leaders who participated in the family were all escorted to the most prosperous area, and announced their crimes and sentenced them in front of all the onlookers, and then they were executed!

Such riots were not only Zhengzhou, Jingdong Road, Hebei and other places, especially Xijing Luoyang.

Luoyang was a very special existence in the Northern Song Dynasty. It was Xijing. At the beginning of the founding of the country, Zhao Kuangyin considered establishing the capital of Luoyang. However, Kaifeng was already the center at that time, and the most important thing was that the river transportation was developed. After thinking about it, Luoyang became Xijing.

This place has produced several awesome figures in the Northern Song Dynasty.

For example, Fu Bi and Lu Mengzheng were both prime ministers and had influenced the affairs of the Song Dynasty.

The rich family and the Lu family are noble families in Luoyang. Although they have retreated, their power is deeply rooted.

This time, Luoyang was one of the most intense places in the Confucian scholar case. According to investigation, both the Fu family and the Lu family were involved.

Wang Boyan and Li Shaochen were the most involved in the Heavenly Prison. The emperor ordered a strict investigation of the Confucian scholar case, which angered the powerful people in Luoyang.

The Fu family and the Lu family even moved out the spiritual positions of Fu Bi, Lu Mengzheng and others, and forced the Luoyang prefect to write a letter to the court, and immediately abolished the Confucian scholar case and the "Legal Defense Law".

Almost all the officials in Luoyang got together with the rich Lu family, and officials sent by the imperial court to carry out strict investigation of the Confucian scholar case were detained.

He was killed directly the next day. The news reached Tokyo. The government and the people were shocked. Countless officials knelt in front of the inner palace and asked to meet the emperor.

On this day, not only all officials wrote a letter to the emperor to stop the Confucian scholar case, but even the Empress Dowager came out to cry to the emperor, saying that the emperor would follow Wang Anshi's footsteps and must not continue like this, otherwise the ancestors would be in danger!

Zhao Huan comforted the Empress Dowager first, turned around and hid in the imperial study room and refused to come out.

Anyone who is careful can find that the guards of the palace have been much tighter than usual in recent days, and the emperor has begun to say that he is sick and does not attend court.

Imperial City Guards can be seen everywhere on the streets of Tokyo City, and many people are thrown into cells every day. The cells in Tokyo City have been full these days.

However, this panic is only spreading in the upper class. The common people have lived a good life recently. The court has exempted labor service. Everyone has more time to spend with their wives and children, and has more energy to work in the fields, so they are not afraid of starving to death.

As for the messy things about scholars, they really can't help it, and they don't have the heart to worry about it. They are just grateful to be the ones in their hearts.

Some people even pray for the emperor every morning when they wake up, begging God to let such emperor live for a hundred years and live forever.

On June 28th, more than half of the scholars in Luoyang City were dispatched, and the Luoyang City government office temporarily lost control of the court.

This is the first time since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty relied on.

The scholars are gone.

Luoyang's Imperial City Division was subjected to the most severe resistance. In the evening, the new army commander Zong Ze led 10,000 elite troops to the city of Luoyang.

Zong Ze did not stop at all and attacked the city overnight. In the case of scholars' riots, Luoyang City's defense was basically in an empty stage.

The powerful Luoyang naturally also has their own armed forces, but most of these forces are spent against the Imperial City Guards, causing the defense of Luoyang City to be empty.

They did not expect that the emperor would dispatch the army so quickly. Could it be that the emperor had expected a riot in Luoyang?

Does this mean that the room for negotiations between the two sides has been further reduced?

You know, these people are not really rebelling, they just want to put pressure on the emperor and make the emperor compromise.

As long as the emperor compromises and launches a scapegoat, it will be like this and will be good for everyone.

But the intervention of the army was completely different, which represented the emperor's determination.

Luoyang City was soon lost, and Zong Ze commanded the army to enter the city.

After the new army entered the city, the rich family and the respected head of the Lu family came out and led the powerful people in Luoyang City to negotiate with Zong Ze.

In a certain way, Zong Ze was also a Jinshi and a scholar-official, so he could negotiate.
