Chapter 1410 In the name of protecting His Majesty
"There were many strange things suddenly appearing on the wall of the notice today. Have you all seen them?"
"It's not just a notice wall, but it's everywhere in the streets and alleys."
"What's the one written on it?"
"Didn't you even go and see it? The things inside are really unimaginable."
"The content posted above says that our Qi County is wrong. Most of the officials in Qizhou participated in the Qizhou riot."
"The Qizhou riot was actually something that the officials took the initiative to plan, to force the emperor to come to Qizhou."
"Forcing the emperor to come to Qizhou? For what?"
"According to the posting, they seem to be trying to attack His Majesty the Emperor."
"Are they crazy when they attack His Majesty the Emperor?"
"That's a regicide, that's to destroy the nine clans."
"They planned the Qizhou riot. This is already the matter of destroying the nine clans."
"I really didn't expect that these Qizhou officials were too brave. They dared to attack the emperor and planned the riots of the people."
"The content of the letter seemed to be written to Ma Zhiqing, the commander of the Zhechong Prefecture in Qizhou. However, several months ago, Ma Zhiqing seemed to have suddenly fled from Qizhou."
"I heard that Ma Zhiqing's body was found in Ninggu County some time ago."
"I guess it was killed by these officials in Qizhou."
"How can we sit still when we dare to attack the emperor and plan a riot in the people?"
"We will go to the Qizhou Governor's Office now and ask those people for an explanation."
The next morning, alleys in Qi County posted the content of a secret letter from Ma Zhiqing and others.
The people were very shocked by the sudden news.
Although the Qizhou riot had little impact on them, what they did not expect was that this matter was actually planned by officials in Qizhou.
The purpose is to trick the emperor into Qizhou.
Such a bold and arrogant act and obscene act was clearly to drag them, such as the people of Qizhou, into the abyss.
Once the emperor had something happened to Qizhou, all the people would not have a good ending.
For the current plan, they had no choice but to question these officials from the Qizhou Governor's Office.
If possible, they must first ensure the emperor's safety.
This is to ensure their own safety.
The vast people walked towards the Qizhou Governor's Office from all directions.
The yamen runners in Qi County had no way to stop so many people.
The governor of Zhechong Prefecture heard about this and hurried to report to Lu Yifa.
"Sir, something happened outside." The Zhechong Mansion was located in Lu Yifa shouted.
Lu Yifa has heard about what’s happening outside at this moment.
Thinking that I had told Ma Zhiyuan about this yesterday, it had happened today.
Lu Yifa felt extremely helpless.
If Ma Zhiyuan had listened to his advice and destroyed all Ma Zhiqing's things in advance, such a thing would not have happened today.
Their secret letter was actually spread to the entire Qi County, and the people of the entire Qi County knew about this.
What should they do now? Kill all these people.
"Governor Ma, what are you going to do now?" Lu Yi asked Ma Zhiyuan in front of him, and his face looked extremely bad.
Things have reached an extremely critical moment, and they need to find a way now.
Either suppress these troublemakers or take their actions in advance as planned.
But now, neither of the two things are easy to handle.
The emperor will definitely not allow the suppression of the people. If they follow the emperor's wishes, they must give an explanation to the emperor and the people.
If they don’t suppress the people and take down the emperor directly, they don’t know what the situation is in Chang’an.
Now they seem to have entered a desperate situation.
There is no way out for them around.
"It must be that Zhao Chen. He stole Ma Zhiqing's secret letter from us from the beginning."
"But I didn't expect that he would choose to make this secret letter public at this time."
"The plan for now is to inform the situation here to Chang'an as soon as possible."
"Then disperse the people here and surround the entire Governor's Office in the name of protecting His Majesty."
“Make sure no one can escape.”
"If the people in the city do not listen to the advice and beat them out with sticks, they must be suppressed."
"We also need to guard against Zhechong Prefecture in Huangzhou and Taizhou."
"I'm worried that they will send troops to rescue the emperor." Ma Zhiyuan made such a decision with Lu Yifa with a cold face.
Lu Yifa didn't say anything. Nowadays, Ma Zhiyuan's decision seems to be the best way.
They had no way out and could only move forward step by step. Even if there was a cliff ahead, even if they fell to death, they would still keep moving forward.
"Have you heard it clearly?" Ma Zhiyuan asked the governor of Zhechong Mansion beside him.
"I heard it clearly." The captain of the Zhechong Mansion nodded, but his face looked a little worried.
"Don't worry, things are not as bad as you think. As long as we handle these things well and wait for news from Chang'an, the five hundred people from the Northern Imperial Army will definitely not be our opponent."
"Of course, if we can't even handle these trivial matters well, we don't have to think about other things." Ma Zhiyuan and the governor of Zhechong Mansion said.
The captain of the Zhechong Mansion nodded and then left quickly.
"Chief Lu, what do you have any ideas now?" Ma Zhiyuan looked at Lu Yifa again.
What would Lu Yifa have to think? Now that this is the case, they can only do it according to the method Ma Zhiyuan said.
...
At the gate of the Qizhou Governor's Office, the people of Qi County who came from all directions were surrounded.
The soldiers of Zhechong Prefecture and the Qi County yamen runners intercepted them at the gate.
They were pushed by the people of Qi County, and not only were there rotten eggs, but also rotten vegetable leaves in the crowd hit them.
But no one dared to rush out to deal with these people.
They did not receive the order, so they naturally did not dare.
"Governor Ma has an order. You and others gathered at the gate of the Governor's Office to cause trouble. They are extremely guilty. If we don't leave, we will carry out military affairs." The Governor of Zhechong Prefecture walked out and scolded everyone.
But this obviously did not scare the people of Qi County.
"We want to meet Governor Ma, and we have to question him in person why he did this."
"What is the matter when planning a riot in Qizhou and forcing Your Majesty to come to Qi County?"
"Is it really like the content of the letter that they want to deal with His Majesty the Emperor?" Some people shouted in the crowd.
The governor of Zhechong Mansion looked at the crowd in front of him coldly and shouted:
"How could you believe the content of a letter? That letter is fake. They are trying to frame all the officials in Qizhou."
"His Majesty the Emperor lives in our governor's office. Who dares to kill the lord? Who has such courage?"
"We are catching the murderer now, so please leave quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being ruthless."
As soon as the Governor of Zhechong Mansion finished speaking, the soldiers of Zhechong Mansion under his command drew out their weapons one after another.
He stared at the people gathered in front of him.
"What do you want to do? Do you dare to kill us?"
"Your Majesty the Emperor is in your governor's office. If you dare to kill us, I see how you will explain to Your Majesty the Emperor."
The anger of the people came from the crowd.
