Chapter 295: A Few Joys and a Few Sorrows (5)
Du Yu, the king of Shu, did not expect that these ordinary people would attach so much importance to this matter, which was far beyond his judgment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is no wonder that for more than ten years, although these people are still the skin of Bashu, their words and deeds in their hearts have been slowly baptized by the laws of Qin.
In order to safeguard the interests of the country, the laws of the Qin State formulated by Shang Ying adopted the policy of weakening the people on a large scale, and completely put the common people on the opposite side of the state, believing that 'humiliation will lead to nobles, weak will honor officials, and poverty will be rewarded'.
The aborigines of Bashu, who are free by nature, how can they endure the harsh laws, they have risen up to resist, through continuous struggle, although they have kept their own temples from being destroyed by the Qin army, and at the same time retain certain rights of the king of Shu, but the entire Bashu has completely become a vassal of the Qin State.
On the day when Du Yu, the king of Shu, rebelled, the people in the city, some clapped their hands and said that some were in pain, and more people just waited very indifferently, not knowing how to go on the road in front of them. When freedom is imprisoned under the barrier of high pressure and it is difficult to breathe, the free soul is constantly fighting, trying to break through the barrier that binds him, but when one day, this layer of high pressure barrier is removed, and the free soul suddenly becomes overwhelmed!
After a period of fighting, the Qin army was wiped out in the city, and all the people began to cheer, whether they were watching or participating, they all thought that they could return to the era of sunrise and sunset, autumn harvest and winter hiding.
But the news that the Qin army suddenly appeared in Bashu is like a fog that has not yet dissipated in the early morning, making it difficult to figure out, whether the news in front of you is real or illusory, and whether your pursuit is real or illusory?
Therefore, people urgently need to find their own answers, and all these answers can give is the king of Shu in their hearts, the one who leads these people to regain their freedom.
Du Yu, the king of Shu, came to the gate of the palace, since the rebellion was launched, the palace has strengthened the measures of defense, five steps and a post, ten steps and a sentry, the warriors looked solemn, guarding against the remnants of the Qin State in the city, and made waves again.
"Look! The king is out! ”
"Hey! Hurry up and kneel, what are you doing in a daze? The people, who were still pointing fingers, heard the guidance of someone in the crowd, and knelt down with everyone.
Over the years, countless Shu people have been educated to be docile sheep, and when the sheep kneel, they just see the surrounding sheep like this, and as for whether they need to kneel down, they do not think through their own brains. Everything has its tenacious inertia, although everyone is hating Qin Fa's harm to themselves, but the infection of more than ten years has already imperceptibly turned this kind of thinking into their own actions!
A group of people who advocate freedom in their hearts, but are bound in their actions, are like sheep, waiting for their fate to be decided.
At that time, the people did not need to bow down to the king or officials, and the number of bows was just a sacrifice or a kind of ritual when the officials met the king, and it had little to do with the people.
"Everyone, please rise up, those who bewitch the people with evil words have been corrected on the spot!" Du Yu, the king of Shu, stood at the gate of the palace and said loudly.
The moment everyone stood up, they looked at each other one by one, and muttered one after another,
"What's going on?"
"I don't know?"
"Misceiving the crowd? Is there no Qin Army? ”
"I don't know!"
The whole crowd returned to the previous noise, and everyone was asking each other about their views on this matter, as well as what the words of the King of Shu meant, no one would think about it at all.
Du Yu, the king of Shu, looked at the chaotic crowd below, and was disappointed in his heart, thinking to himself, 'It's ridiculous that a group of ordinary people who don't know anything are still so obsessed with national affairs. ’
"Ahem, ahem!" The King of Shu coughed lightly a few times, and everyone regained their composure.
Du Yu, the king of Shu, continued:
"Everyone, the people of Bashu, Qin's laws are strict, poisoning living beings, Du Yu is not only adhering to the unification of the previous kings, but also raising troops against Qin.
The upper is in line with the will of heaven, and the lower is obedient to the people's feelings, but now the border guards do not think about their duties, fear Qin and do not fight, but the devils confuse the public and destroy the people's hearts.
Today has been killed by this king, you don't have to panic, you don't have to waste production after you go back, Bashu has the blessing of mountains and rivers, and you will definitely be able to turn the danger into a disaster! Heaven forbid! As he spoke, Du Yu, the king of Shu, took the lead in kneeling on the ground and bowing to the sky.
All the people also knelt down to worship the sky, and a crisis was resolved by Du Yu, the king of Shu, in a few words.
It's not that Du Yu, the king of Shu, can have a lotus flower and be able to bloom in an iron tree, but in fact, these people of Bashu have been baptized for more than ten years, and their brains are deeply occupied by obedience, as if this habit has become an important factor in controlling their actions.
"Heaven bless, Bashu Qianqiu!" Du Yu, the king of Shu, stood up and shouted. At the same time, the whole crowd was also extremely excited, as if they had forgotten the purpose of this visit.
One by one, they shouted with the cry of Du Yu, the king of Shu, "Heaven bless, Bashu Qianqiu!" "Heaven forbid! Bashu Qianqiu! ”
It is really the sorrow of the people and the sorrow of the nation to act according to the intentions of others, without independent judgment, without sufficient ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and pinning all hopes on the words and deeds of others.
The words are divided into two ends, Jiangyou is behind the Jinniu Road, although the grain and grass above the pass are sufficient, but the vegetables and fruits in Pingsuri still need to be purchased from the bottom of the mountain.
Yesterday, the chef on the pass personally went to Jiangyou City to purchase ingredients, and when he didn't want to close the door, there was a sneak attack by the Qin army, but the whole incident did not spread throughout the city, except for the people near the city gate who felt noisy.
The people in other places still slept peacefully, and as for the noise, everyone generally believed that it was just a large army preparing for defense, and there was nothing to make a fuss about.
In order to be able to buy fresh vegetables, the cook led his entourage to get up early and go to the street to buy, but along the way, the cook found that some places were very strange.
The streets were full of garrison soldiers before, but now there was no one left, and when I passed the guard's mansion, there was a mess in front of me, although the fire was extinguished, there were still sporadic flames jumping, and the ruins could not bear to look at it directly.
"Your Excellency!" The accompanying servant wanted to ask something, but was blocked by the cook, shook his head and signaled, not letting him speak, the cook needs to find the answer he wants in this pile of rubble!
After the commotion of the previous night, the servants of the guard's mansion had already fallen and scattered, and some of them took advantage of the fire to steal the valuables of the house and slip away, while the rest of the people put out the fire.
But the owner of this family, both returned to the west, even the bones were wiped out in the fire, the guard has no heirs, looking at the ruins, the group is silently weeping.
The cook and a few attendants found these people, because it was still early, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and the street seemed extremely empty and quiet.
In this way, the sound of crying was particularly clear, and the cook personally walked up to the nearest old man and asked:
"Old man! What's going on? ”
"Hey! Don't mention it, it's gone, it's all gone! The old servant wept.
"What the hell is going on?" Chef asked sincerely. It is said that people are old and affectionate, this is true, the old man saw this middle-aged man, so sincere inquiry, and then sighed:
"The mistress of my family heard that the general surrendered to the Qin army and hanged herself! The general felt ashamed of his wife and died by self-immolation with him! Most of the servants in the house took the opportunity to rob the family's belongings, leaving only old people like me, who had nothing to rely on..."The old man was still chattering.
However, Cook Cook didn't have time to listen to him continue, Cook Cook interjected and asked:
"What did the old man just say? The defenders surrendered? ”
"Yes! This Qin army is gathering outside the north gate at this moment, and the army in the city has also been taken away! The old man saw the surprise on the middle-aged man's face, and then said:
"Yes! The Qin army who came earlier left in the middle of the night, and these arrived a few hours ago! The old man said.
The cook said to the servant:
"Hurry up and check it out!"
"No!" A small guy, galloping to the north gate, the scene in front of him was really shocking, only to see the baggage of the Qin army, and the horses were assembled at the north gate! (To be continued.) )
