Soon, the people who beat the drums were taken to the Tai Chi Hall. The ministers all watched with amazement, what kind of person rushed to beat the drum.

As far as the eye can see, it is only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy who has entered the Taiji Palace. A coarse linen coat, and there are too many patches to count.

Despite this, the clothes are very clean and the appearance is very delicate. Walking slowly and above the court, he looked light and breezy.

The young man knelt down and said, "The grass people participate in Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live." ”

Emperor Tianqing opened his mouth and said: "Flat!"

After thanking the young man, he got up, and Emperor Tianqing continued: "Why did you beat the Dengwen drum today. ”

The young man said unhurriedly: "Back to Your Majesty's words, the grass people have a great grievance when they beat the drums today. I thought that the officials were mutually exclusive, and they would not be able to seek justice for the people of the whole village in this life.

I don't want to, Your Majesty will stand up the drum again, and this is what happened today. ”

Emperor Tianqing said: "If you have any grievances, you can tell them all." I will give you justice. ”

The young man nodded and said, "My surname is Zhou, and I come from a small village in the mountains of Yangguan in Xun, Great Qin. Last year, the entire village was slaughtered one by one by the local city lord's men.

I've been suing everywhere for a whole year, and no one in charge has accepted my case. I was even hunted down by the city lord's men, and I almost died several times. ”

At this time, one of the ministers said, "What evidence do you have for your words?" Could it be that because of your words, Your Majesty has to investigate and prosecute a court official. ”

The teenager was apparently stopped by this sentence, because he really had no evidence. The young man spoke: "There is itself, but the people under the city lord have chased and killed many times, and the evidence in their hands has been lost. ”

"That's not it, since there is not, it's groundless slander against the court officials, or a city lord. Today I beat the drum again, and with these two alone, your eight lives are not enough to die. One of the ministers spoke.

"Yes, please pull this son out and behead him in the street. Save him and some people want to slander my court officials with the help of Dengwen Drum. Another minister spoke.

As soon as the minister's words fell, many ministers in the court said, "The ministers seconded the proposal." ”

Emperor Tianqing looked at the ministers below who spoke, frowned and said, "It seems that you Aiqing are very dissatisfied with me!"

"Don't dare!" The ministers who spoke continued.

Emperor Tianqing snorted and said: "Don't you dare? Now that this young man has come to sue the royal court.

Even if there is no evidence in hand, according to the process, after understanding the matter clearly, I will send someone to investigate. Otherwise, the grievances will not be revealed, what is the point of setting up this Dengwen drum?

Or do you who speak receive the benefit of the lord of the city? ”

The ministers who spoke were startled, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Don't dare, please let Your Majesty know it." ”

Emperor Tianqing said: "Since you don't dare, let this young man finish his words." Tell the cause and effect. When I send someone to investigate, if it happens, you will be punished as well. If there is no such thing, it will be too late to listen to Aiqing.

Ladies and gentlemen, do you think what I said is right?"

The ministers spoke: "Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers obey Your Majesty's will. ”

Emperor Tianqing nodded, looked at the young man and said, "You go on, tell the cause and effect." ”

After thanking the emperor, the young man said, "Three years ago, a disaster suddenly occurred in our village. It rained heavily for seven days and seven nights.

When the rain stopped, many houses collapsed, many wells also collapsed, and several people died. The village is reporting to the city lord's mansion. But the people of the City Lord's Mansion didn't pay attention.

The matter that was reported was not resolved, and the water in the well has since changed. The water was muddy, half of the bucket was muddy, and the remaining half was muddy.

How can we drink such water, but we are a small place, so that the heavens should not be drunk, and the earth should not be spiritual. Even if the water became like that, the people of the City Lord's Mansion never took care of it again.

Later, the water became more and more muddy day by day, and the sediment became more and more day by day. One day I couldn't take it anymore, so I told my mother that I was going to report to the court.

But my mother said, "No, it's useless to go, and you have to cause disaster." I still can't forget how cautious my mother was. I wondered what this society had become so dark.

Because of my mother's words, my idea of reporting to the court was shattered. Isn't it just sewage, and you can't drink dead people. It's really not worth the calamity for this. I thought that would be the end of it. ”

The boy's voice choked up a little as he said this. And the emperor Tianqing and the ministers in the court all felt some emotion in their hearts.

You say that people live for a lifetime, and what do they live for? Just to have a stable meal, a full mouth, and a saliva to drink. To live is simply to live.

In this world, I don't know how many people are living like this. They also seek change, but the best thing life has for them is that it has not changed.

Maybe stability is a blessing. If I had to choose, I would choose to live my life in peace and do something I really want to do. To live the way you want to be.

The young man continued with red eyes: "Later, one day, Li Zheng heard people from the City Lord's Mansion chatting. said that the catastrophe in our village was subsidized by the imperial court. But we didn't see a penny of that money.

Although Li Zheng heard this, he also understood the matter. Didn't go to the City Lord's Mansion either. I didn't dare to go.

Li Zheng buried this matter in his heart, buried deeply. But one day, Li was drinking with the people in the village. The more wine you drink, the more you talk. Tell the story.

Talking to Li Zheng were three young men from the village. When these three people heard Li Zheng's words, they were already young and vigorous. and by the strength of wine. So in a fit of rage, he went to the city. Li Zheng couldn't stop it.

Li Zheng knew in his heart that it was not good, so he woke up more than half of the frightened wine, and hurriedly handed over a few capable young men in the village to intercept the three of them.

But in the end, it was a step too late, and when Li Zheng and a few people went, they saw three corpses. They're only twenty years old! They haven't really lived yet. ”

Speaking of which, the boy couldn't hold back his tears after all. It ran down his cheeks.

Emperor Tianqing was furious and said: "Twenty years old, the best years! It is the age when life is like the rising sun. This age group should be carefree. That's when you really look at the world.

It's crazy that he can take away his life so ruthlessly. How can such a human nature be the lord of a city, if he is in danger, he can still rely on him to protect the settlement of the people of a city.

It is not a pity for such a person to die!"

Emperor Tianqing's thunderous words were angry, and there was even a hint of powerful coercion. The court was suddenly silent, and there was no one who dared to breathe.

The young man was also blocked in his heart because of the coercion of Emperor Tianqing. Instead, the mood recovered.

The coercion of Emperor Tianqing was put away, and the young man then spoke: "The people in the village, take back the bodies of the three people. A beautiful funeral was held for the three of them.

After that, the atmosphere in the village changed. I could feel the oppression of each and every one of them.

My mother told me that this is life, and life is hard. What we can do is to make suffering a boat. Move forward cautiously in the vast sea of life.

For more than a year, there are really people in the village who can't hold back. went to find Lizheng, and they wanted people from a village to go and report to the imperial court.

Rizheng agreed, and this matter should have been done in secret. But somehow the news leaked out. If it's one person, the city lord won't care if he thinks about it. But the influence of the people of a village is greater.

Although our village is remote, there are more than 1,000 people.

Naturally, the city lord would not let us go, and at first he only sent troops to imprison us, but not long after, the new emperor ascended the throne, and he was afraid that the new emperor would thoroughly investigate the world when he ascended the throne.

The city lord was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, and the news would leak. They began to massacre the villagers. I will never forget the blood that filled the village, the terrible screams.

Never, never, I will never forget the image of my father and mother falling in front of me. The village was full of people, and thousands of people were slaughtered like that.

I was fortunate enough to have my life back. I wanted to report to the court, but the officials were mutually exclusive, and I didn't have a chance at all. When I came to the imperial capital, I couldn't even enter the palace within a kilometer, let alone sue the emperor and meet His Majesty. ”

Emperor Tianqing then spoke: "I know, you will live in the palace first, and I will send competent people to protect you." I will also investigate immediately, and if this matter is true, I will not spare it. ”

Hearing Emperor Tianqing say this, the young man burst into tears with excitement, destroying the door, and the revenge of destroying the village will soon be avenged. The young man hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Tianqing said: "Get up, you are the people of Great Qin, that is, the people of me." Since I am my people, I will not let anyone be wronged. But there is one more thing I want to tell you in advance, if not, you can understand the consequences. ”

"If nothing happens, the head of my neck will be Your Majesty's. The boy said loudly.

Emperor Tianqing said: "I believe in you. Go down first, and I'll give you justice. The purge of the Great Qin world should begin today. I don't believe that Daqin will not have a bright world. ”

The young man said: "My Great Qin has such a wise and unparalleled male lord as Your Majesty, and the grass people believe that my Great Qin can definitely return to the peak of the past." Even more brilliant than at the peak. Since His Majesty has decided, the grass people will retreat first. ”

Emperor Tianqing nodded, restoring the past glory of Great Qin, this is far from enough. The waters of the world are getting deeper and deeper, and the situation is also confusing.

Now what he needs to do is not only to restore strength, but also to be strong enough to push both countries across.
