Chapter 12 Cage Policy
Emperor Han Ling took the scroll, his brows furrowed deeply, and then he stretched it out again, and finally said with great interest: "It seems that this world is not so boring, finally someone wants to play with the widow, Changming, I will make you a great painter, lead all the painters in Luoyang, look for the demon painter, if you find the demon painter, the widow will save them from death, you say this is good?" ”
Huangfu Changming immediately clenched his fists and said: "Obey Your Majesty's will!" Emperor Han Ling laughed and said: "Hahaha, then Changming will stay in the palace, remember to let Ning'er go to see me more, I haven't seen this little girl for a long time, I miss her..."
"This..."Huangfu Changming's whole body trembled, looking at Emperor Han Ling, who had already walked towards the palace, he really didn't understand what this guy was thinking, Zhang Rang also glanced at Huangfu Changming with great meaning, and followed closely.
Huangfu Song sighed and said: "Ming'er, this is your life, you can't hide..."Huangfu Changming looked at his father and finished speaking, turned around and walked towards the main hall, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face and said: "I never wanted to hide!" ”
Since then, Huangfu Changming is famous, famous all over the world and spread all over the world, some people say that the great painter is compiled according to the status of the national teacher, and some people say that the next goal of the painting demon master is Huangfu Changming!
There is a kind of person, no matter how cruel the environment, can struggle to survive, even in this troubled world, he can live very comfortably, some people say that they are different from ordinary people, and I call this kind of people... Not people ....
In Guangyang City, Taishou implemented a cage policy for some ordinary people, that is, the untouchables in their mouths, so countless iron cages filled the entire inner city, these iron cages were like cages, locking all the ordinary people in them, some people said that it was Guangyang's cage that could never escape...
A roar of pain sounded, and the bearded man, clutching his right arm, blood soaking through his clothes, resisted the pain in his body and prevented himself from crying out.
"Fellow, are you okay, why are you so seriously injured?" An old man looked at the big man in the cage with great concern, the big man straightened his right arm, and the howl of pain came out suddenly, and then wiped the sweat on his face, looked at the old man who was lying on his stomach and skinny, and said: "In these years, I had no food to eat, so I became a robber, but I was caught by the government and thrown here." ”
The big man's face was full of beard, and a complicated color flashed in his vicissitudes of life, he looked at the countless black iron cages around him, where there were people locked up one after another, he suddenly smiled, lay on the weeds, looked at the sky outside the cage and said: "If there is a mouthful of food to eat, I am willing to be locked up for the rest of my life." ”
The rickety old man sighed, and said in disagreement: "That's you, if you drag your family with you, you won't think so, we poor people, here pigs and dogs are not as good, being locked in a cage like a beast, this is where people live..."
"There are women in the family, and those who are born are good-looking, are all taken away by the children of the family or rich businessmen, those with better lives become concubines, and those with bad lives become maids, and those who are ugly will find a man at will, and they have to go out of the city to work every day in exchange for a mouthful of food, and they have to live in this cage for the rest of their lives."
The rickety old man said with devouring hatred in his eyes: "Sometimes I really think that we people are really better than pigs and dogs..."
Dahan looked at the old man with his head in his hands, and said with disdain: "That's because you are stupid, you don't know how to change, your incompetence leads to a tragic fate, and some people, no matter what kind of environment they are in, can find an opportunity that suits them, and then successfully get rid of the status quo, this kind of person is strong, and you are weak!" ”
"Yes! We are all honest people, we don't know how to kill, we don't know how to rob, we don't know how to resist, we only know how to blindly endure, and being a man is so helpless... It's even more pitiful to be an honest man..."A one-legged middle-aged man looked at the big man and sighed.
The big man sneered, looked up at the sky in the distance, and said leisurely: "I think this is very good, some eat every day, some do, don't worry about anything, don't worry about it, live comfortably." ”
"You are quite satisfied, what you said is very right, my three sons all went to join the army, and now there are traitors everywhere, and they are all dead outside, leaving only my old bones, who are still alive here, so..."
"Don't think so much, the more you think about it, the harder your life will be, it's better to be simple..."The blind young man also spoke, and the people in the cage around him all looked at them, as if what they said was very reasonable...
"Today is the fifteenth, Lord Taishou should come to patrol the city, if you can meet Lord Taishou and make him happy, I don't think you have to suffer here, this is an opportunity, but I don't know which of you can grasp it?" The bearded man pinched his fingers and counted a few times.
"You're right, every month on the fifteenth day of the month, Lord Taishou personally patrols, and it is said that those who can make him happy have left the cage..."The old peasant's eyes lit up, although they usually knew this, but they had never thought of anything, and now that they were broken, they suddenly felt that they were suddenly enlightened, as if their hard days were coming to an end.
"Girl, come and wash the ashes off your face, usually your mother doesn't dare to let you see people, today is different, you need to be beautiful..."A middle-aged woman very cleverly found some water and began to wash her daughter's face.
"Three sons! Go and bring our ancestral sword and dedicate it to Lord Taishou for a while, in exchange for a good future for the rest of our lives. A lame old man said to a short young man.
The young man was stunned for a moment, touched his head and said, "Father, that's our ancestral treasure, didn't you say that you would rather die than protect it?" ”
The lame old man smiled bitterly and said, "Silly boy, if you die, there will be nothing, while you are still alive, let's hurry up and take it out, in order to live better..."
Then this small area began to be quickly sorted out, as if they were all thinking about how to please Lord Taishou, the one-legged middle-aged man looked at the busy crowd: "Bow to power?" That's not what we were meant to be..."
"The original intention? The rickety old man showed a hint of ridiculousness, if we know how to be flexible, why did we end up like this, this is also good, everyone at least has a glimmer of hope. The old man glanced at the bearded man with admiration and said.
The bearded man leaned against the iron cage with a boring face, squinted his eyes and said, "Lord Taishou is here, remember to call me, I'll squint first." ”
So one by one, ten by hundred, the people in the entire cage went crazy, hoping to please Lord Taishou and leave the cage, this time... Taishou-sama will definitely return with a full load!
In order to be able to write better, I've been reading the Three Kingdoms recently, Sun Tzu's Art of War, and the History of the Three Kingdoms, but I still feel that I am not very satisfied with what I wrote, I wrote and deleted it last night, deleted and wrote, and only wrote less than 2,000 words, and I suddenly felt that this was really a brain-burning thing, but who liked it, what good suggestions could you put forward in the comment area, I would consider absorbing it, and strive to create a story of the Three Kingdoms worth collecting.
