Chapter 464: Stay
"The battle was won by the local people in a bloody battle, and it has nothing to do with the magistrate who abandoned the city and fled in advance.
When the Hu people arrived, the parent official hid in the safest place and lived a more comfortable life than the vast majority of people in the war zone.
As long as Da Rui does not lose the country, the reckoning with him may come. So, he must have been a little apprehensive during that time.
However, the outcome of the war was beyond everyone's expectations: the Beihu people were defeated!
After hearing the news, the magistrate, who should have been sticking to the city to boost morale and people's hearts, started to think crookedly. He was accustomed to being a powerful man in the local area, and he "took it for granted" that no one would expose his shortcomings and let him leave his post without permission.
So, he actually returned to the county seat with a cheeky face, not only pretending to clean up the mess waiting to be rebuilt, but also happily playing the gong, wanting to get a piece of the pie from this magnificent feat.
But what do you have to do with this credit?
The author has seen a lot of people who have no bottom line and lack a sense of shame, but it is the first time I have encountered someone who is so brazen to this point!
The most despicable thing is that after he returned to govern, he privately embezzled the land of many war dead, incorporated them all into his own name, and even did not let go of the land that orphans and widows relied on to survive!
There are no impermeable walls. After learning the author's identity, he tried to give a generous gift in exchange for silence, but he will always know that not everyone in the world is like him, and it is impossible for the author to betray the people and robes who died on the battlefield for the sake of officialdom.
Fortunately, the end of the story was revealed a few days ago: as everyone expected, this magistrate has been asked by Si Na.
The wind knows the grass, and the board knows the Chengchen. At the time of the national crisis, there are countless famous and unknown Cao Chi in the world, and there will be many people like Xingyang Zhixian.
The name that goes down in history or the stench that has been left for thousands of years is all in the thought of people.
I don't want to make any big deals. There are many heroes and heroes in the world, but more people are just ordinary beings, and even many people have to rush for a meal every day. So you can't ask everybody to be able to sacrifice their lives and sacrifice their lives in a life-or-death situation โ that's something that is really hard for a strong man.
As mentioned before, even if he hadn't returned to the county seat after the war to stage such a shameless farce, I believe that no one would have made a fool of him - the ants are still stealing, and some people who laugh at him may not stay in the county seat if they change to the same position, and they may run faster than him; And the imperial court has its own laws, and it has its own judgment on the merits, and he can't escape the sanctions he deserves.
Man is the spirit of all things, but he is also very fragile and full of weaknesses. You may not be able to be the person you want to be, but you must at least have a bottom line and know shame.
A big war has finally passed. Based on the law of a decades-long war between Da Rui and Beihu, many of us will not encounter this kind of earth-shaking war again in our lifetimes.
But what makes man different from other creatures is that we can always learn something from the lesson. At the very least, please remember a few things in this article and think about what you want to be.
If this can be done, then this article will be considered a great merit......"
sprinkled nearly 3,000 words, Xiao Jing said everything in his heart.
He not only reminded the people of Darui to remember history and actively participate in reconstruction, but also tactfully said the words "stop treating strong ships and guns as miraculous skills", which is a rare big step.
Finally, he also used the example of the Xingyang County Order to remind people to know where the bottom line is. Two hundred years is two-thirds of the life course of a feudal dynasty, and Da Rui, who is about to enter his twilight years, can no longer afford to toss, I hope those princes will not do anything reckless when they are vying for power.
Xiao Jing doesn't expect every reader to understand him. In fact, after this article was published, a large number of pedants and corrupt people must have been dissatisfied with the arguments of the Mirrorโmany of the preconceived notions could not be easily reversed, and I am afraid that only some very enlightened people could accept those extremely advanced claims.
If nothing else, the newspaper will receive as many letters of criticism as snowflakes in the next few days, right?
Xiao Jing, who was leaning on the back of the chair and closing his eyes, couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
He was able to hide in the Xia family for a few days in the name of recuperation, but Xiaoya and the others were going to suffer.
No way, some things have to be done even if they are difficult, who makes themselves a traverser?
As a qualified "postman", Xiao Jing must pass on a lot of ideas, and he has always adopted the gentlest and most moisturizing and silent way. As for what others think - it doesn't matter.
Besides, now that he has the Xia family as his backing, as long as he doesn't make some "rebellious words" all day long, no one in the world dares to do anything to him.
Just when he sighed at his mission and took another sip of tea to moisten his throat, a subordinate knocked on the door and came in, bowed down and said, "Uncle, there is a Ling Gongzi outside who said he wants to see you, and the master has invited someone in, ...... you see?"
Xiao Jing almost squirted a sip of tea on the servant's face.
This product is too straightforward, Lao Tzu has let you spend the night in the editorial department, what else do you want? There are still people who are chased to meet here, no matter how much you want to go to the Xia family, you won't be able to do this, right?
Although there were tens of thousands of divine beasts rushing by in his heart, he still tidied up his clothes and walked to the flower hall with the people.
"I haven't seen you for two days, Brother Xiao's complexion has improved a lot, and the Xia family is really a good place to raise people." As soon as he saw Xiao Jing, Chen Zhongwen smiled and said: "Ling also read today's newspaper, and there is really only the mirror newspaper in the world that dares to speak out, which is really admirable." โ
Xiao Jing sat on the chair and said with a smile: "Ling Gongzi praised it falsely, this is what should be done, and it is my responsibility." What is the wind that blows you? โ
Chen Zhongwen seemed to know that he was a not very welcome guest, but he didn't care, but got closer to Xiao Jing, and said mysteriously: "Ling has recently gotten some news, and digging it should be good news, so I didn't dare to be good at it, so I came to talk to President Xiao in detail." โ
"Hmm, that's it?" Xiao Jing raised his head and yawned, waved his hand and said, "Xiao has only been back from the north for a few days, and this has not eased up. Lang Zhong said that if he didn't take care of himself, he was afraid that he would become ill from hard work...... If it's not a sudden emergency, let it go. โ
Chen Zhongwen suddenly looked disappointed, shook his head and said: "I thought that I would be interested when I heard good news, not to mention that this is the secret of the great drought in Hedong a few years ago...... Forget it, as President Xiao said, it's not too late to talk about it later. โ
As he spoke, he got up and made a gesture to leave, but as soon as he stood up straight, Xiao Jing's words had already rushed out:
"Please stay!"
