On the fifth day of the fourth month, the Empress Dowager arrived in Lin'an City. The young emperor led all Chinese civil and military officials in court to welcome him. Because the assassination just happened, the guard was even more severe. All the people were isolated several feet away from the road, and anyone who crossed the line would be captured on the spot. However, the ceremonial guards for the Empress Dowager were even more grand than when the Little Emperor entered the city. Even the trees were wrapped with yellow silk, and the curtains stretched from the city gate to the North Palace. This shows the urgent need.

Chen Yizhong sat on the seat next to the window on the third floor of Deqing Building and looked up at the Imperial Street. After the leading team passed, there was a convoy of the six ministries and the head officials of the Secretariat. The Empress Dowager and the Little Emperor were walking in the middle like stars. Seeing the convoy getting closer, he couldn't help but sigh, if he hadn't gone to Chameng at the beginning, would he have his own place in the team, instead of being a bystander like now.

"Absolutely no, we have already become as powerful as water and fire, and they will not tolerate me!" Chen Yizhong shook his head and murmured. He knew very well that his relationship with the little emperor was not harmonious since the beginning, and then as the contradiction deepened, it was no longer irreconcilable. And now it is even more deadly. Today he is preparing to show off with the little emperor and make a last fight.

"Distract, don't be shocked by the Holy Lord!" Suddenly, there was a noise outside the window and the scolding of the soldiers. Chen Yizhong leaned his head down and saw that a group of people in various costumes were coming. They wanted to break through the cordon arranged by the guard soldiers, but were stopped by the patrolling Lin'an Government yamen runners and forcibly dispersed them.

"Lord, our people cannot go up, they are all driven away by the yamen runners!" At this time, Cai Rui jogged upstairs with his clothes on his back.

"I have seen it, the little emperor is ready!" Chen Yizhong sighed.

"Lord, then I will immediately summon people to Beigong to prepare for the court to write a letter." Cai Ruiyan said.

"I have a stoke today. I wonder if it's a bad luck or good luck?" Chen Yizhong looked at the crowds of people rolling past the window, frowned and said.

"Lord, I've been shooting the bow and not turning back. The little emperor raided the house in their city yesterday, indicating that they had discovered our whereabouts and realized that we were planning behind the scenes. I'm afraid that I've started to secretly arrest the whole city, and now there is no way out!" Cai Rui saw that Chen Yizhong's old habits were committed again, and he began to give up again at the end of the matter, so he quickly persuaded him.

"Okay, success or failure is here. I will go with everyone to ring the drum and ask for the people!" Chen Yizhong thought for a while, and seemed to make up his mind, stood up and said in a tidy manner.

Chen Yizhong and his group went downstairs and mixed into the crowd. As the crowd was watching the fun, they slowly moved towards Beigong. After the journey to Qingyang Palace, they had already gathered dozens of people. When they arrived at Taimiao, several people secretly joined in. There were two or three hundred people in front of the palace. Seeing so many people going to break into the palace, a guard immediately came up to stop him, but when they heard that they were going to Dengwenyuan, they did not dare to stop him. They just strengthened their vigilance to prevent the crowd from breaking into the palace.

A crowd hugged Chen Yizhong to the hanging drum set up in the west corridor of the inner palace city. Chen Yizhong winked. A follower immediately stepped forward and took the drumsticks, and his arms spread out, and the drum sounded "dongdong" and rang. The drum sound was shocking and it was heard far away. Everyone outside the palace gathered here in shock, and the palace also caused panic. Several people rushed over from the east corridor...

When Zhao Bing heard the sound of drums, he was stunned for a moment before he realized. It was said that if modern people have watched costume dramas, they would know that a big drum hanging outside the yamen would often beat the drum and make trouble. As long as they were ringing, anyone would understand that something big happened. When they heard the sound of drums, no matter what the chief officer in the yamen was doing, they would have to go to the court to ask the case immediately. Speaking of the yamen, Dengwen Drum was one of the important direct complaints in ancient China.

According to historical records, there was a Dengwen Drum in the Zhou Dynasty, which was called "Lu Gu". After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there were Dengwen Drums in all dynasties. Dengwen Drums in the Tang Dynasty were established during the reign of Emperor Gaozong. During the Wu Zetian period, there was a magistrate institution. In the Yuan Dynasty, the Dengwen Drums were also established. However, the importance of different periods in history was very different, and there were additions in previous dynasties, such as inviting carriages or writing to a public carriage, knocking on the turtle, etc.

In the early Song Dynasty, the court began to set up officials and the Dengwen Gu and the Dengwen Gu Procuratorate. Both courts accepted complaints from officials and civilians, and the full-time office of the Censorate. The parties could go to beat the drum first, and officials from the headquarters would come to receive the visit, and then transfer their words to the emperor. The Dengwen Gu Court was open to the government and the people of the country, and those who beat the drum were not limited by their identity. "Anyone who talked about the gains and losses of the government, public and private interests, military secrets, courtesy of gratitude and rewards, remedies of grievances, and strange arts, changing literary resources, correcting their reputations, and making no progress without any rules." They were all allowed to go to our court to express their feelings.

The Song Dynasty had billions of people, and the world affairs were complicated. The emperor was just the supreme of the secular world, not an omnipotent god. Should we ask civil officials to review the paper submitted by officials and citizens first, and then choose to submit it to the emperor as appropriate to reduce the burden on the emperor? Emperors of all dynasties have discussed this matter, but the answer is still of course not. The counselors believed that the Chinese people came to the Dengwen Guyuan just to "listen to heaven" for their own demands. If there was a checkpoint in the middle, people would have more concerns when they wrote to write to the story. With the emperor's protection, the Chinese people would dare to tell the truth in the Dengwen Guyuan.

In the Song Dynasty, not only did the people sue the officials, but it was also a common thing for officials to sue the officials. If the Dengwen Drum is beaten well, it would knock out the power of the political opponents. Some officials who were incest had instructed the "good people" under their jurisdiction to go to the Dengwen Drum Court to play the drums and build momentum for the re-election of officials. Of course, the officials and the people should not be too arrogant to sue the officials for personal grudges, but there were also arrogance of justice. However, the officials and the people should still use the big drum in the Dengwen Drum Court.

In principle, the court has a ban on appealing from people over the level. Beating drums and making grievances is just a temporary measure to correct judicial errors. If everyone goes to the capital to appeal for grievances, the garrisons of prefectures and counties will appear to be in vain. According to the criminal law of the Song Dynasty, if the beating drums and plagiarism is untrue, the corpse punishment of eighty rods will be sentenced to be punished with 80 rods, but it is not a storytelling for drums to be beaten. Overall, the drums and drums are still effective. It is a road to heaven for the Chinese people to clear their grievances and the lower feelings are beyond their reach, and it is also a mirror to test whether politics is clear or not.

During the wise monarch's rule, Dengwengu did have the role of raising the people's sentiments and supervising bureaucrats. Although the unjust cases appealed to Dengwengu Court can generally be resolved, which has played a certain role in clarifying the administration of officials. However, the Dengwengu system also has its limitations, and not all cases can be resolved successfully. It is a pity that after the Song Dynasty, the conditions for beating Dengwengu became increasingly harsh, and by the Qing Dynasty it was useless. It was also stipulated that those who beating Dengwengu should be thirty rods first in court to prevent malicious petitions from unreasonable troublemakers. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the law has become increasingly complete, and Dengwengu has only become a symbol.

Zhao Bing knew the rules of this dynasty. No matter what the emperor was doing, he had to go to court. Although the court meeting was being held to congratulate the Empress Dowager to return to the capital, he had to stop, otherwise how would he explain to the ministers in full view of the public! He already knew Chen Yizhong's plan, which was to use today's grand dynasty to beat the Empress Dowager, to force himself to respond in front of the ministers, and to ask the Empress Dowager to dismiss him.

Although he was confident, Zhao Bing was still nervous because in the history of the Song Dynasty, the emperor was forced to change his mind because of the great incident caused by Dengwengu. It was during the Jingkang period that the court was forced to cede land from the Jin Dynasty and to dismiss the minister of the warlord Li Gang. The Tai student Chen Dong led tens of thousands of citizens to the streets of Kaifeng, calling for the reuse of Li Gang and the famous general Zong Shidao, and to stop the jealous Li Bangyan. When Li Bangyan entered the court, the people started to scold him. Then they came to Dengwenguguyuan and beat the drum to see the emperor.

Due to the improper handling of the officials at that time, the peaceful petition turned into a riot. In the face of fierce public sentiment, Qinzong had to restore Li Gang as the defensive envoy of the capital, regaining his disadvantages on the battlefield, which made the situation slightly better. However, after Qinzong and Huizong were abducted by the Jurchens, Zhao Gou succeeded to the throne in Yingtian Prefecture. Chen Dong wrote letters in succession to ask Li Gang to stay and Zhao Gou to the north. Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan and others angered Zhao Gou with words such as "If you don't say it urgently, you will regain the throne of the palace", and executed Chen Dong.

Zhao Bing understood that whether it was Chen Dong's success or sacrifice, it was not that the emperor was afraid of him, but that he was afraid of the influence of thousands of people fighting together to attack the drum, which triggered a group incident and led to the occurrence of a ****, just like the modern "color revolution". Now Chen Yizhong wants to follow the example of the public bus and force the queen mother to depose herself and re-activate him.

Moreover, Zhao Bing knew that Chen Yizhong was very good at inciting. When he was a student, he wrote a letter to Liu Fu, Huang Yong, Lin Zezu, Zeng Wei, Chen Zong and others to dismiss the powerful minister Ding Daquan, and was made by people at that time the "Six Gentlemen of Xianguan". It can be seen that he has the experience of leading the masses to make a revolution and rich experience in fighting. He is an expert in mass movements, which makes him a little nervous. If he is at a loss, he will lose the blame...

The two courts of Dengwengu and Procuratorate accept the handling of unfair affairs by institutions at all levels. According to the procedures, local persons must make a statement when they pass through the county, prefecture, and transferees accept unfair affairs. In Beijing, those who are litigated must first belong to the temple supervisor, second to the provincial governor, second to the provincial governor, second to the provincial governor, second to the provincial governor, second to the provincial governor, second to the provincial governor, second to the provincial governor, second to the provincial governor. In the proceeding procedure, the Dengwengu and the Dengwengu Office form the same chain. The Dengwengu Office is under the Dengwengu Office. If the Dengwengu Office fails to accept the case, the Dengwengu Office can stop or go to the Censorate to report it.

From the procedure of the case, we can see that although Dengwengu and Procuratorate are affiliated with the Censorate, they have no responsibilities such as counseling, political discussion, impeachment, supervision, and case review, and do not participate in the handling of the case. It can be seen that they are neither spoken or judicial departments, but are only responsible for accepting and submitting the case, similar to modern petition institutions. The case submitted to the case of Gugu and Procuratorate must be reviewed directly by the emperor, and other officials cannot be viewed on their behalf. After the emperor reviews, officials will be appointed to handle it.

"Report to Your Majesty, there are former left prime minister Chen Yizhong leading more than 300 Confucian scholars and old gentry officials outside, beating the drum and writing a letter!" After a while, the drum sounded, the Procuratorate of the Procuratorate went to the palace to report and submitted it to the emperor.

"Oh, I can't deal with this evidence, so I'd better submit it to the Empress Dowager!" Zhao Bing took the document and took apart it, and then browsed it and asked Wang De to transfer it to the Empress Dowager.

"Your Majesty, are all the words in the documents true?" Wang De held the Empress Dowager Yang behind the curtain. After reading it, he asked Zhao Bing. Although everyone could not see the empress dowager's expression clearly through the curtain, his tone was not good.

"Empress Dowager, I believe I have never done these things. Please tell me if there is any, please make a clear decision!" Zhao Bing stood up and bowed behind the curtain.

"Prince Lu, what do you think should be dealt with?" Empress Dowager Yang sighed lightly and transferred the evidence to Lu Xiufu.

"I think... I think there are many false statements!" Lu Xiufu took the statement and frowned. He thought to himself that it was no wonder that His Majesty wanted to transfer it to the Empress Dowager, and he transferred it to himself. It was full of words to criticize the little emperor. There were more than a dozen crimes of all sizes, and they were shocking.

To summarize, it is mainly: when he was king, he had the intention to be independent. After occupying Qiongzhou, he wanted to hold the emperor hostage; after Emperor Jingyan passed away, he colluded with the imperial guards, Jiang Jin, and used force to force the empress dowager and his ministers to make him emperor. These two crimes were: after stealing the throne, he took over the empress dowager and moved the court to Qiongzhou, and then expelled the old ministers in the court and appointed their confidants, so that all the important officials in the court came from their hidden residence. These three crimes were used to force the empress dowager to retreat to the harem, and he was able to usurp the power by supervising the country. These four crimes were these four crimes.

Relying on the party's evil, hindering the country's affairs. Those who like recommend, those who hate frame, and those who quote traitors at home and abroad, causing them to lose the expectations of the world. These five crimes are: unfair government, trusting and unstrue contracts, and not tolerate the world, and being ruthless. These six crimes are: brave and bloody killing, killing and surrendering, and embezzling money and property. These seven crimes are; cruel and unkind, so they use severe punishment to cooperate with the public. They will definitely get rid of the slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest slightest

Recovering the former land in Jiangnan, harming old officials, and killing gentry, causing panic among the people. These eleven crimes were made; consuming the country, using troops to provoke Jiangbei, and refusing to obey the people, causing people to be uneasy. These twelve crimes were: stubborn and self-righteous, using troops to the tombs of the previous emperors, causing damage to the tombs and disturbing the ancestors. These thirteen crimes were; returning to Lin'an, without thinking about the grace of the empress dowager, and welcoming the empress dowager to the capital, which was a great deal. These fourteen crimes were made; for his successor, he was accused of killing the children of the royal family.
