Chapter 261: The Debate of the National Society (Fourth Update)
- Plains National Society
The place of the shrine is in the west of the castle in Pingyuan Prefecture.
There is a reason for such a location setting, which is to correspond to the ancestral temple in the east, which is called the Left Ancestor Right Society.
The shrine festival is a very solemn sacrifice, so there is a wall to prevent ordinary people from entering, such a wall has been in existence since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when it was called Shuki, and now it has been changed from a wooden fence to a stone wall.
Ma Qiang walked into the community and found that there were many trees, mainly pine, cypress and other evergreen trees, which were called community trees and contained good wishes for the future.
Ma Qiang looked at the scenery while coming to the altar in the middle, and found that Liu Shuo was listening to a few Taoist priests with an old lady on his feet, and Liu Ping, Hou Ba and other officials on the side had arrived.
Ma Qiang bowed his hand apologetically and said, "Weichen is late, and I ask the king of the plains to forgive me." β
Liu Shuo laughed and said, "It's not late, it's not late, it's early for us to come, Prime Minister Ma came to meet my mare nobleman, speaking of which, you and my mother still have the same surname, maybe five hundred years ago, they were also a family." β
Ma Guiren turned around slowly, looking at Ma Qiang's eyes cold, as if he was about to pierce Ma Qiang.
Ma Qiang bowed and said, "Wechen meets Ma Guiren." β
Ma Guiren ignored Ma Qiang, but said to Liu Shuo, "You idiot, you are so old, you can't speak."
Where does the old woman dare to be of the same race as Equestria, once she is done, after a hundred years, do you want to bury the old body casually? β
Liu Shuo was so frightened that he didn't dare to say it.
Ma Guiren snorted and was about to continue talking, when he heard the sound of crying outside.
"Where are the people coming from?"
Ma Qiang waved his hand and shouted, "Huang Xu, immediately drive away the noisy people outside!" β
"Wait! It seems that someone is crying out for injustice! Liu Ping said in his ear, "Prime Minister, listen, someone is really shouting wronged." β
Can you hear that?
Ma Qiang glanced at him in his heart, and said, "If there are grievances, let people take them to the county office." The shrine is a place of sacrifice and a place of worship, not a place where cases are tried. β
At this time, another official came out and said, "Prime Minister of State, this person who shouted grievances is afraid that he has a big grievance, otherwise he would not have come here, in my opinion, it is better to ask first." β
Ma Qiang squinted at him, and suddenly smiled, "It's okay, come on, invite me all the noisy people outside the door in!" β
After a while, a group of people in sackcloth walked in, crying.
"What's going on? Why? β
When Ma Guiren saw this scene, he suddenly felt unlucky, and he wanted to scold people angrily.
"I am Ma Qiang, why did you come to the country to cry! What grievances, though! β
One of them, about forty or fifty men, knelt on the ground, cried and climbed forward, shouting, "The grass people's surname is Zhang, there is no name, they all call the grass people Zhang sloppy, the grass people are not wronged, it is the father of the grass people who is wronged!" β
"Your daddy? Where? Ma Qiang asked.
"Right here!"
As he spoke, Zhang sloppily pointed to a roll of straw mats behind him, and a pair of feet could be faintly seen on the straw mats.
"Your father was unjustly killed? Who is harmed? Ma Qiang asked.
"My dad killed himself!" Zhang sloppy cried, "My father heard that the prime minister ordered that no thick burials should be made in the future, and he couldn't think of it, so he looked for a short time!" β
As he spoke, Zhang sloppily howled and cried, crying and tearing his clothes, so unmoved.
"Hey, people live for a lifetime, and what they want is the name of the former and the back, the strategy of the prime minister, it's too urgent!" Liu Ping shook his head and sighed on the side, and Zhang was sloppy and cried even harder.
"What about your grievances?" Ma Qiang ignored Liu Ping and continued to ask.
"My grandmother heard that I couldn't hold a running water banquet when I got married, and I couldn't figure it out for a while, so I also looked for a short time!"
"My mother said that she had saved up her life's savings, and she was waiting for the last scenery, and now there was no hope, and she didn't sleep all night, and she couldn't get up again when she slept!"
Ma Guiren listened to the cries of these people, and the tears in his eyes couldn't stop flowing out.
What is empathy, this is empathy.
A lifetime is very fast, and this blink of an eye is about to pass, and when you live, you can't enjoy happiness, it's a hard life, and it's just that, and now you can't be beautiful when you die, so it's better to die early and live early.
Thinking of this, Ma Guiren glared at Ma Qiang and shouted, "Prime Minister Ma Guo, this is the plain country you govern for my son?" The sage cloud, the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, you can see it today, you know it! β
The qualitative nature of these words is serious, and many people look at Ma Qiang with sympathy, this young county guard, I'm afraid he will get out of the house soon.
Hua Jing looked at Ma Qiang, who was frowning and silent, gritted his teeth and said, "Nobleman, in recent years, the wind of joy and funeral extravagance in my plain has become more and more prosperous, and many people have been poor due to marriage and bereavement. β
"For the benefit of the country and the people? I don't think so! Ma Guiren looked at Ma Qiang.
Ma Qiang smiled, turned to Zhang Sloppy and asked, "I see that you are dressed, and you don't look like a rich family, I'm afraid you can't even pay for the most basic funeral funds I formulated, and your father still wants a thick burial?" I wonder where the money for this burial comes from? β
Zhang sloppy raised his head and said, "I sold me!" The money from the sale, burying my father, violated which law of the Han Dynasty? β
"Does your dad know?"
"My dad and my dad knew that I had the money to do his funeral anyway, so he happily talked in the village for three days, and these three days were the happiest times for him!"
"I'm afraid it's also the saddest time for him!" Ma Qiang shouted, "Could it be that your father doesn't know how much money you have?" Couldn't he have guessed why you were suddenly rich?
Do you think you are filial piety, and your father also thinks you are filial piety? But are you filial piety?
You sold yourself, and the money was spent on your father's funeral, and you tell me, where the hell is that money spent?
I don't need you to say it, I know, I'm afraid the most expensive thing is those artifacts and banquets.
Have you ever heard of what it means to have a son who wants to raise but doesn't want to be a parent? Your filial piety should be done while your father is still alive, it should be to find a way to let your father eat something good, find a way to buy farm tools to reclaim wasteland, and make your father feel that you have hope for the future, it should be instead of waiting for him to die to buy some dark weapons!
You think that your father is looking for a short time because he can't be buried thickly, but I tell you, your father finally let go of his mind and wants you to return the money quickly, redeem yourself, and let his incense pass on. β
Ma Qiang's words made Zhang's sloppy pupils continue to dilate, and he shook his head and said, "Impossible!" No way! My father was killed by your decree because of you! Not because of me! It's not because of me!! β
