Chapter 168: Angels
Twenty days passed in a flash.
On the day of the execution, the foreign nationalities from outside the city once again poured into the city, gathered under the high platform, and listened to Ximenqing's speech.
Ximenqing didn't talk nonsense, and concisely complained about the atrocities committed by Jin Bing's withdrawal from Liao, and then concluded: "Repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue?" I should repay virtue with virtue and repay grievances with straightforwardness! Straight, kill too! Today, the people of Dajin should be eliminated from the country, and there will be no more remnants of the Jurchens of the Wanyan Department! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the drums sounded.
On that day, Yue Fei finished burying Yan Wushu, because the body of Yan Wushu received too many arrows, and it was broken when he was strened, so he could only be burned with fire and buried with his mother. After the fire, Yue Fei pretended to collect ashes, and left more than a bucket of iron arrows in the ashes.
After Ximen Qing heard about it, he deliberately collected these iron arrows that had drunk the flesh and blood of Yan Wushu, and asked the money leopard Tang Long to specially create a ghost head knife, which happened to be used today to cut off the blood of the Yan Jurchen, and in the light of this knife, I don't know how much bitterness, how much remorse, how much regret, how much irony, if there is a soul, I can't bear this pain and collapse, right?
It seemed like an impossible task to cut off nearly a thousand heads in a single day with a single knife - in addition to the seven hundred and ninety-one fish that had once slipped through the net, and to catch more than 100 remnants of the Jurchens in bits and pieces in the past twenty days.
However, killing people is also a process that practice makes perfect, and a task that is impossible for ordinary people to complete is nothing if it is handed over to experts-so today's executioner, Ximenqing randomly assigned a few people from the murder army to serve as the executioner.
The moment the drum sounds, a team is killed. The soldiers of the Killer Army perfectly demonstrated the art of killing to the people of the Cypriot Empire - the sword rose and fell, elegant and ethereal, and there was no lack of sacred mystery, which was not so much a killing as a solemn sacrifice.
From morning to noon, several soldiers of the murderous army took turns holding their knives, and their hands did not stop for a moment, but they did not mean to be sour and numb, and nearly a thousand heads were perfectly cut off at a dazzling speed. After clearing the field, he showed the blade in the sunlight - although he was a soldier of general training, he was still sharp after killing thousands of people, all because the knife was over, and there was no obstacle in the bone cracks, which was naturally solved.
The people watching the punishment did not know that there was such a stunt, and they all thought that they had divine help, and they all bowed down, and did not dare to look up. Ximen Qing gave this knife the name "Nine Repentances" on the spot, and the town was in the Liangshan Lecture Hall.
This day is destined to become a legend, and the Nine Confessions Knife is destined to become an artifact. After that, if anyone who dares to have a different heart in Siyi will get someone to say-"You want to try the benefits of the Nine Regrets of the Chinese Federation?" "——Even the brave and brave, they are all afraid to tremble, the wolf heart does not dare to sleep again, and the beacon fire will never burn.
After cutting off the last Miao descendants of the Jurchens of the Yan Division, Ximen Qing officially became a teacher and marched all the way, and the border people all looked at the dust and worshipped. Those who govern the country are virtuous but not powerful, and their momentum is unstable; There is authority but no virtue, and the country is declining day by day, only those who are both virtuous and virtuous can make the loyal and treacherous people as one, act according to the law, dare not exceed the rules, enjoy the rights, and fulfill the obligations, and the country is governed.
Ximenqing traveled all the way, pondering all the way, thinking about the four words "enlightened autocracy", how to be enlightened in government decrees, and how to be autocratic in the rule of law...... Just as the smell was coming, an urgent report suddenly came, and when I opened it to take a look, I couldn't help but be surprised.
The urgent report was sent from Liangshan Juye City, and its content was unbelievable - in Juye City, a person suddenly came, and he kept saying that he was an angel sent by the Heavenly Palace of the Upper Realm, and he had come to announce the message of the Jade Emperor to Ximen Qing.
With the urgent report came a pile of newspapers. Since Ximenqing vigorously promoted movable type printing, and opened the ban on the writing of the corrupt dynasty, and personally founded newspapers, private newspapers have sprung up, after a period of natural elimination, the newspaper industry of the Federal Republic of China has become its own scale, a prosperous, this Ximenqing expedition outside the Sai, accompanied by not only the caravan, but also the local newspapers dare to be the first in the world with reporters, the holy hand scholar Xiao Rang is one of the chief editor-in-chief and reporters.
After slaughtering the Jurchens of the Yan Department, Ximen Qing knew that there would definitely be a newspaper of a righteous man and a gentleman who would stand tall in the near future, and he criticized himself, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it - he didn't expect the saliva to come, the angel came first!
In this bundle of recent newspapers, the news of "Visitors from the Heavenly Court" was invariably published, and there were those who were amazed, those who were cautiously questioned, those who commented on auspiciousness, and those who were cheerful.
Most of the people who are amazed are free-spirited. Many of these people have money, the kind that is moldy and idle. In today's world, you can't buy officials, and you don't dare to collude with corrupt officials and bullies, if you can't run a newspaper, these guys won't have much fun in life. Such a newspaper today selects the Qinglou Oiran and tomorrow holds a cricket fighting contest, which is the entertainment edition of the newspaper of the Chinese Federal Newspaper, and their reports are basically all to join in the fun.
Most of the cautious skeptics are supporters of Ximenqing. The name of Ximenqing's reincarnation of the Celestial Star has become world-famous, and even outside the territory knows that there are many foreigners who have noses that are not noses and eyes that are not eyeballs and have crossed the sea, and after landing from Quanzhou, Hangzhou and other places, they come to Juye City to wait to see God - but this so-called heavenly court visitor is different from those who look strange or pilgrimage! Regardless of whether his identity is true or not, it is not a good thing for Ximenqing. If you fake it, you will kill it with a knife, and there will always be that kind of-stirring stick insisting that you Ximenqing does not obey the holy decree of the Heavenly Palace, disobeys the order, and kills people to kill people; If it's true, it's more troublesome, it's like it's hard to plant fruit trees, and there are official rots to eat and take cards during the harvest, who will have a good impression of this kind of dregs?
People are like that, if they can live happily, then they will give thanks to the gods reverently; But if there are gods who get in the way of their happier lives, they won't be afraid to show malice to the gods or anything.
So at least in the hearts of Ximenqing's fans, this Heavenly Court guest is definitely not a likable character.
Those who comment on auspiciousness are mostly optimistic that the situation is good, not small, and will get better and better in the future. These people study, all day long Qin Emperor Han Wu, Tang Dynasty and Song ancestors' great deeds, excessive national pride for a lifetime, people are stupid. Stacks of arrogance are not called "stinky", and a little bit is called "stinky", and these guys stink at this point. Every day, they shout in the newspapers that they should destroy this and beat that, and when they meet foreigners on the street, they are the ones who are the most arrogant, and it is not uncommon for them to develop into bullying foreigners. The sheriff scolded them a few times, and their newspapers poured dung on them repeatedly, branding themselves as patriots who were suppressed by traitors, but they could also earn enough eyeballs.
However, some time ago, Ximen Qingsai used troops outside the country, and won consecutive battles, and these optimists were also like chicken blood, and the newspapers were full of positive energy, which gave Ximen Qing enough face. As soon as the visitors from the Heavenly Palace appeared, these people were very happy and happy, and they immediately thought of auspiciousness, and the reporters in their newspapers were like carp crossing the river, and even the dog's tail grass opened double spikes to talk about things, singing the praises of the rising of the red sun of the Chinese Federation under the guidance of the great leader, helmsman, and commander......
But the good times didn't last long, the news release of the Ximenqing Jurchen Massacre has returned, and the Optimist Alliance officially took the case - the Chinese kingdom has always persuaded people with virtue, and if you want to kill, you can secretly kill it, put on such a big momentum, this is to smear and shame my Great China face! This time, it must be strictly criticized in the newspapers, and this butcher, thief, and murderer must not be allowed to ...... It's better!
Those who rejoice are all traditional conservatives. These people have already had a lot of complaints about Ximenqing's governance, and today there are envoys in the heavenly court, and Ximenqing has come up, and these people are all so excited that they celebrate each other, and do everything possible to make friends with angels, and be willing to be the mouthpiece, and Eba will be rich in the future.
Speaking of these people, they are also pitiful, except for fighting in the cracks of books, and weaving gorgeous clothes for the ruler to cover their shame, they will do nothing. However, after Ximenqing single-handedly supported the Chinese Federation, he selected officials and put ability first, such as the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture, he used farmers; An official of the Ministry of Commerce, he recruited the children of merchants...... Moreover, in the Song Dynasty, it was known as "the board is well prepared, and the Confucianism is at the right time", many farmers in the fields, merchants who weave mats and sell shoes, can recite poems and books, and hand comment on historical biography, Ximen Qing appointed them as officials, and no one can find out who he is not.
The Chinese Federation also held the imperial examination, but the selected jinshi must be people with political talents, and the number of places is pitiful - because of the early peace and corruption of the Song Dynasty, Ximenqing in most places can't manage it at all, and it is useless for officials to choose too much, so they simply herd sheep everywhere, implement autonomy, and select enlightened gentry from the local level, the sage is up, the fool is down, and the fittest is survival of the fittest, so that many corrupt Confucians who want to be fed and want to become officials have no Jinguang Avenue of progress.
The newspaper gave these people the opportunity to huddle together to keep warm, they gathered together, and tried in every possible way to find a way out for their own family and even future generations.
……
Ximenqing was originally riding a horse, but now he is lying on the roof of the baggage car, reading all the newspapers all the way, and suddenly laughs out loud: "Interesting! Interesting! Hahahaha-"
Everyone listened, and they all looked at each other—the head of state had not been so happy for a long time.
At this time, the army happened to arrive at the Huanglong Mansion, and Ximen Qing was in a good mood, so he joked with Yue Fei: "When you step on the Huanglong Mansion, you don't have any feelings in your heart?" Yue Fei was dumbfounded.
Ximenqing laughed again, and then arranged for Hu Yanzhuo to lead the troops on his behalf, and slowly returned, and he rode lightly again and galloped back to the Central Plains first.
"I'm still working hard! Others crossed, all of them hugged the beautiful women and spent all day drinking, but I could only run around, and the horseshoe didn't know how much it was worn. Ximen Qing secretly sighed in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face, "Jade Emperor Angel? Ha ha! It's really a timely rain that I am happy to be happy with! Anyway, thank you in advance, birdman! ”
Thinking of the happy place, hurry up, although the Central Plains Road is far away, it is just ahead. This is exactly what it is:
It is important to know that the demon king is a brave man, and remember that the angel is a birdman. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
