In the face of the excited people, Zong Ze has never been so heartbroken.
He wasn't afraid of death, and it goes without saying that he was prepared for the worst.
Since the news of the destruction of hundreds of thousands of officers and troops in Yunzhou came, he had imagined countless endings for himself, the worst of which was nothing more than being trapped in Liangshan and martyrdom. For this magistrate who is nearly sixty years old, although he has not established any great achievements in his life, dying to defend the land is also a glorious and well-deserved death.
But what he didn't expect was that the first person to rush into the yamen was actually the people of Li under his rule. Looking at the faces of different people of all ages, but with the same hatred, this kind of blow is simply ruinous for Zong Ze.
As a low-level pro-people official in the court who has lofty ideals and has spent his life sticking to it, death is not a terrible thing. The most terrible thing is that he was abandoned by the people's hearts that he had spent his whole life and accumulated for the imperial court.
Their appearance was like a sharp blade that instantly penetrated the heart of this old man who loved the people more than himself, and the belief he had always held on to was almost collapsed.
"This is the Sect Minister! It's definitely not Shi Wenbin's shiny donkey dung eggs, they are two completely different people! β
The old man shouted hoarsely, but unfortunately his voice seemed very small in front of the people in front of the audience, just like the lonely boulder in front of the waves crashing on the shore.
It has been more than half a year since this prime minister took office, but in the hearts of the people of Yuncheng, who have been bathed in the benevolent government of Liangshan for three years, there is really not much sense of retention.
This is a rare paradise in the Great Song Dynasty, and the person who created this paradise. Before Zong Ze arrived, he had firmly established himself.
"It's different from Shi Wenbin!? Okay, tell me, where was our relatives when they were suffering in Yunzhou? When the officials and soldiers robbed us of our food and framed us as bandits, where was the minister? When we call the heavens and the earth unspiritual, where is the minister? Now we don't want you to care, and we don't count on you. But you are going to be the enemy of Liangshan again, and you say that we will not agree! We told sΓΉ this lord that we were one hundred and eighty unwilling! β
"The imperial court doesn't do personnel, and we are not allowed to do the heroes on Liangshanbo? The pedants who went out in our village said that the sky has not been good for a long time! Finally, we Liangshanbo wanted to do the road for the sky, but you just jumped out and blocked it! Say, "Let us say ye what is good?" Since you can't see us well, if we watch Liangshan fall, we will not only live in vain in our lives. Sinners for generations to come! β
The kindness of the old man did not work, but stimulated the people to be more excited, and everyone stepped forward one after another, and some people began to shout and fight.
These questions. None of them were answered directly by Zong Ze. Of course, he can explain the big truth, but the key is that he no longer has the heart to talk about the big truth in public. There is a person who walks in front of the court everywhere, and causes many unsolvable but still hidden contradictions to the light. As a marginal member of the imperial court, he can't open this mouth. To be a fig leaf for another group of thieves who occupy the mainstream in the imperial court and bring disaster to the country and the people.
Suddenly, a strange thought emerged in Zong Ze's heart, if he died at the hands of the people at this time. Although it is a great irony, it is not a relief.
A cloudy old tear overflowed the corner of his eye, and then soaked into the crimson official uniform that represented the majesty of the imperial court, and a kind of desolation that was about to go began to ferment in the depths of his heart, and spread rapidly, stimulating every pore. Because at this moment, he seemed to have witnessed a piece of history, and an armed group that was enough to crush the imperial court in the control of the people's hearts and minds rose up.
And Gao Yu's blood is Liang Shanbo's silent oath.
"Get out of the way, the second brother of my uncle's family is in Yunzhou to call the official army to kill, today I want to find this minister to take revenge!" A strong man squeezed out of the crowd and came with great momentum.
"There is a wrong, and there is a debtor! It's not a public nuisance! You...... Don't make a mistake! β
The old man found that he had helped at all, and the blood of the Shandong people on his body burst out, and he protected Zong Ze with his whole body, who wanted to harm this Zong Xianggong, unless he stepped on himself.
"What do you see he wearing? The court harmed me, I looked for the court, why didn't I have a debtor and a debtor? How did you wronged him again? You get out of the way! β
The strong man didn't want to get along with others, and at the moment he pulled with the door, and the people saw this, and there were signs of a response, and at this moment, only to hear the thunderous sound appear on everyone's heads, which was deafening.
"Folks, listen to what Liangshan Wusong said!"
When the people heard that it was Wu Song, they couldn't help but stop and looked back, when someone shouted: "Don't move first, listen to what our heroes who fight tigers say!" β
Wu Song took three steps and made two steps, squeezed to Zong Ze's side, and said to the dense people in front of him:
"Ladies and gentlemen of Yuncheng County, little brother Liangshan Wusong! Before going down the mountain, the elder brother of the owner of the village, Wang Lun, had personally confessed to me, and ordered the younger brother to invite this Zongzhi County to go up the mountain. Please also ask my brother and sister-in-law, uncle and uncle, raise your noble hand! β
Wu Song clenched his fists on all sides, and a sense of pride filled his chest in his heart. I wanted to accidentally encounter a big insect on Jingyanggang back then, and I struggled to get rid of it, and as a result, I was heartily loved by the people of Quanyanggu County. But compared to what he did at that time and the scene now, what is it to think about? Back then, it was just a beast, and what he is doing now is to remove the shackles from the people on his body.
"Huh?! We are in white Wang Xiucai to invite him up the mountain? There's nothing good in the court, can you please go up and do it? The strong man couldn't turn around all of a sudden, and at this time he was still worried about the pain of bereavement, so he couldn't help asking. It's good to deal with Liangshan heroes, you have something to say in your heart, you don't have to hide it, and no one will think that you are offending him like this.
"That's it! Not only did the imperial court not have good things, but also specifically excluded good people and good people, and we Wang Shusheng was also a character who had taken the exam in Tokyo back then, but the Manchu magnates didn't know him, and forced him to go to Liangshan, but who to blame? β
"Not really! Wudutou came out of the imperial court, why is there no good thing? I don't know who in the crowd answered. The words were good, but they sounded awkward, but Wu Song was not surprised, but instead hugged his fists into the crowd, and the big guys suddenly burst into a kind laugh.
At this time, there was another humanitarian: "A good man like Wudutou is clearly the material to be a general, and he only wants to be a capital, and he loses Liang Shanbo and follows us Wang Shusheng!" β
Wu Song said ashamedly, and arched his hand:
"This Zongzhi County has served as the magistrate of several counties, and the general judge of Dengzhou, my brother saw him in Dengzhou at the beginning, and knew that he was a rare Qing official and a good officer, so I wanted to invite him to go up the mountain to reminisce about the old feelings!"
"Qing official? Good officer? I don't feel it! β
When everyone heard this, they said. If these words are heard by the people outside Liangshan's sphere of influence, they will definitely vomit blood, and they can't hope to come to a parent official like Zong Ze. But the people around Liangshan are just like this, what are you doing?
There is a famous saying in the book "Mencius", called "Those who look at the sea are difficult to be water", that is, the original version of the popular sentence "once the sea was difficult to be water", which means that the sea has been seen, how can you be excited when you see the ordinary small rivers and rivers?
Think of an armed group that does not collect taxes and does not pay food, gives you free medical treatment when you are sick, repays you for your injustice, and provides you with countless opportunities to make money and make a fortune.
It can be said that no matter who the imperial court sends to herd and defend the shore of Liangshan, they are powerless to return to heaven and cannot recover the lost hearts of the people. Even famous ministers like Zong Ze and Zhang Shuye, who are destined to remain in history, can't show their performance in the face of Liangshan's systematic benevolent government. What's more, there are countless evil mothers-in-law on their heads who are suppressed, and it is not bad to be able to maintain it with all their might. As for the imperial court, who had long thought that he had lost his clean dignity, it was difficult to rely on these outliers in the officialdom to get it back.
"We Wang Shusheng said that it is a good official, it must be a good official, so don't help everyone, send our Zongxiang Gong up the mountain!"
The voices in the crowd questioning Zong Ze gradually decreased, but the voices echoing Wu Song increased.
"Zong Xianggong, offended! When we look at this garment on you, our hearts are angry! All the crows in the world are black, but one of them is white, and we can't recognize them! Don't be surprised if you are offended! β
"Our white-clothed Wang Xiucai is the star of Tiankui, who was sent by God to save our people, and he will be able to assist him in the future!"
Zong Ze, who had mixed tastes, was helped up by the strong man who was about to fight and kill just now, and the people around him were offended, Zong Ze did not have any joy after getting rid of the difficulty, but felt like an outsider in front of the people for the first time, and this kind of loss made him very uncomfortable. It's like an invincible master in martial arts, who has been lonely on the rivers and lakes for a long time, and finds that another person has not yet made a move, and defeats him. More crucially, this man's goal is to overthrow his own sect.
"Zongzhi County, how offended! Please go up the mountain with me! Yunzhou Chen Zhizhou and Jeju Zhang Zhizhou are only afraid that they are already on the way, let's not be late! β
Wu Song has always been polite to this old man, because Wang Lun once said that this person can be called the "mainstay" and "national backbone". Since Wu Song went up the mountain, he has never heard Wang Lun, who is observant of people, speak so highly of a person. Even if it is the other two Zhizhou ministers with much higher official positions than this person, Jeju Zhang Shuye is only called the conscience of the court by Wang Lun, and Yunzhou Chen Wenzhao is the most ordinary, just four simple words: This person is good.
