I want to ruin the country

Chapter 334: Siege of the Forbidden City

Without the invention of cement, it would have been extremely difficult to build these large bridges.

The only thing missing now is time.

This time, Yining brought information about quick-setting cement, which will also speed up the construction progress.

Some small bridges can be completed after the autumn harvest.

Some super-large bridges will have to wait until around May Day next year.

Therefore, if we want this road to be fully connected, it will be next year at least!

Imagining the scene of various vehicles running on the road in the future, Yining couldn't help but smile.

On the way back from the construction site, Yining originally wanted to go see Hong Yujiao and the others.

It's been six or seven days, and I don't know how they are doing.

Unexpectedly, someone came to report that several thousand bannermen had gathered outside the palace gates demanding to see the emperor.

Yining thought, haha, what a brave guy!

He waved his hand,

"Go back to the palace!"

Dun Sanye, Le Siye, Na Wuye and Wu Yong were quite capable and contacted more than a thousand bannermen in just over a day.

It’s not that they are particularly capable, the key is that there are many bannermen who are dissatisfied with the court.

Since someone has taken the lead, of course they have to participate!

Among these people there are many idle royal family members and Jurchens.

Although they considered themselves to be of noble status, they were actually no longer favored by the imperial court.

They were very dissatisfied with the emperor's order to move out of the capital.

The capital is the country's power center, and people living in the capital still feel that the country is their home.

When chatting, people can still talk about who their ancestors are and who their grandfathers are descendants of.

Some of their descendants still kowtow and bow to them when they see them, and call them by nice names.

Having come to the capital for more than two hundred years, they have truly regarded the capital as their home.

Asking them to move out is no worse than digging up their ancestral graves.

What would I have left if I left the capital? At most, I would be a local rich man. In ten or twenty years, I would have nothing to do with the royal family.

If you want to find that feeling, the only way left is to look through the family tree.

They didn't want to lose these, so, with someone taking the lead, they all responded and came to settle accounts with the emperor.

In fact, they also contacted some bannermen who were in power.

For example, Zaiyuan, Su Shun, Wenqing, Duanhua and others.

There were people coming to lobby or complain.

But they said nothing, just shook their heads and advised everyone not to cause trouble.

The current emperor is very powerful, and if you are not careful, you will get into trouble.

Some officials from ministries and departments, as well as officials of the second and third ranks, were also contacted.

What they meant was very firm, I won't participate anyway.

Even their clan members were strictly ordered not to be misled by others, and if they participated, they would be punished according to family rules.

The reason was simple: they were no longer ordered to move.

If they disobeyed and participated in activities that were dissatisfied with the court, they might face the removal of their titles or even expulsion from the imperial court.

Everyone knows how to stay out of things that do not concern you, and let your friend die rather than let yourself die.

And now everyone knows the emperor's temper, he is just a fool!

No matter who you are, you will be punished without any mercy.

Now in the court, Lin Zexu and Du Shoutian basically do whatever the emperor says.

Zaiyuan was busy with his education, nursing home and orphanage.

Wenqing's hands were cramped from counting a huge pile of money, and he couldn't even say three "yes" to the emperor.

Duanhua was busy spending money to buy Roman cattle and donkeys, and was also busy setting up the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Resources. He had no mood to meddle in other people's business.

Senglinqin was a man with a bad temper. I heard that he was beaten down by the emperor and has lost his temper. Now he is busy suppressing bandits in the northeast!

The man from Ruijin was not reliable in the first place, but now that he has money, there are many things waiting for him to do.

Forget about asking him to write a memorial to criticize the emperor. Even if you criticize the emperor, he will get angry with you!

Not to mention the others, it was difficult for them to even see the emperor, and they submitted memorials saying that the emperor should not treat the bannermen like this.

It's impossible for the Emperor to listen. He has a hundred things to say to you! Don't make yourself uncomfortable!

Even if those who participated were not afraid in their hearts, they were also afraid that the emperor would turn against them.

But I can't help but feel lucky. Doesn't the law punish everyone?

No matter what, we are all one family with the emperor, so the emperor won't arrest all of them, will he?

More than a thousand people arrived outside the Forbidden City in a mighty procession.

They thought the guards would definitely drive them away, but unexpectedly, the guards stood with their heads held high, looking straight ahead, as if they were completely blind to them.

However, it was absolutely impossible for them to enter the palace, but they did not have the courage.

When Wu Yong saw that the guards ignored them, he became bolder and walked up to the guards.

"Everyone, I am Aixinjuelu Wuyong, and I am a relative of the emperor. We have something to tell the emperor, so please inform him!"

The guards didn't even look at him, let alone pay any attention to him!

Le Siye said,

"These are all your servants, why don't they behave like servants at all?"

After hearing what Le Siye said, Wu Yong felt a little embarrassed!

However, he also understood that although these people were servants of the Aisin Gioro family, they were servants of the Aisin Gioro Yining family and had little to do with him, Aisin Gioro Wu Yong!

If he dares to act wildly, these slaves will not hesitate to knock him to the ground and step on him!

He took two more steps forward and was about to speak when the guard shouted,

"Back off!"

The sound was like thunder, and Wu Yong shuddered and quickly took two steps back.

"Speaking of which, everyone, I'm afraid you can't hear what I'm saying!"

A guard said,

"No matter who you are, there are rules for meeting the emperor. Is this the place for you to act wild?"

Wu Yong plucked up his courage and said,

"We are all bannermen, many of us are members of the imperial clan, but we are not of high enough rank to see the emperor. So if we have something to say to the emperor, we can only come here to petition!"

The guard said,

“We don’t care who you are, you can’t enter the palace, and we can’t inform you.

We have no control over your petition, but we advise you not to cause trouble, or you will bear the consequences!"

It turned out that the guards had already received orders from their superiors that something unusual might happen in the next few days.

The emperor said that everyone should not panic. If there is no order, everyone should not respond when being insulted or beaten.

Anyone who violates military orders will be punished by military law. If he does well, the emperor will reward him!

If there hadn't been this order from the Emperor, these guards would have already started driving people away or arresting people. This is in front of the Imperial Palace, not the gate of Wanping County Yamen!

When Wu Yong saw that it was impossible to enter the palace, he had to retreat embarrassedly and discuss countermeasures with Master Dun San and others.

When Yining arrived outside the palace gate, he saw a huge crowd of people, probably several thousand in number.
