The mobilization and propaganda of the 'revolutionary army' were rapidly unfolding, and this wave of momentum was also carried out simultaneously in the capital, even affecting the small temple in the city where Yang Jian and others were hiding. The stinky ditch behind the temple has been dug for more than a month, and the dredging project is nearing completion. The people are also very happy to see the deepening of the river, the reinforcement of the riverbank, the removal of garbage, and the repair of the streets.

It was at this time that the order to mobilize the call-up was given.

When a cry sounded in the houses on both sides of the stinky ditch, all the fake monks in the temple were alarmed. Looking at the public servants and armed soldiers who knocked on the door from door to door, they thought that they were going to be arrested if their deeds were exposed.

"Wait, it doesn't seem to be coming for us."

Yang Jian and the others had ghosts in their hearts, and they were ready to slip away when they were busy. But two new young people came to the temple, but they leaned on the temple wall and watched for a long time, and finally confirmed that the movement in the dark night seemed to have nothing to do with them.

Among the new young people, one was tall and thin, with a thick skeleton and a particularly strong strength, and it could be seen that his cultivation was not low. But this person is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he has a stunned temper, and it is said that his surname is Lu, and he is from Changzhou Mansion in Nanzhili. Another young man, surnamed Sun, was twenty-four or five years old, with a more elegant face but a cynical anger, from Daizhou, Shanxi.

Both of them were the sons of the gentry who had been promoted and the die-hard supporters of the Ming Court, and they were secretly pulled by Liu Fucheng. They didn't know each other, but when they came to this ruined temple, they hit it off at first sight, and sneaked into the capital with full of anger against the 'revolutionary army' to find fault. Recently, these two people suddenly wanted to rescue Emperor Taichang, who was imprisoned in the Forbidden City.

When Lu Sun and the others first came, they couldn't look down on everything in the capital, and scolded every day. scolded the 'revolutionary army' for having no king and no father, scolded the people for being ignorant and following thieves, and scolded the court for being corrupt and incompetent, so that the Ming Dynasty was taken away by a group of people who did not read poetry and books and did not understand etiquette.

It's just that the reality quickly gave these two Ming indignant young people a head start - the abolished emperor Zhu Changluo was often arrested and paraded on the street because he couldn't write a qualified manuscript, and the two of them were angry when they saw the news from the newspaper, scolding the 'revolutionary army' shamelessly, and they were sad and indignant that Emperor Taichang was humiliated by this. The two of them decided that they would risk their lives to rescue the Holy One that day.

For this kind of big event, Liu Fucheng and others shook their heads like rattles, and they didn't agree at all - we still have a useful body to help protect Daming, how can such a dangerous thing be done?

Liu Fucheng persuaded this person: "As the saying goes, 'the lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the lord humiliates the ministers to death', Your Majesty suffers such crimes, and Liu is also anxious. But if the two righteous men want to do such a feat, they must not be reckless, otherwise it will only harm His Majesty's life, but it will not be good. It also needs to be considered in the long term. "-This action of the two of you is like robbing the Dharma field, so you have to step on the plate first.

The two angry young people are young in the end, and they feel that what Lord Liu said is extremely true. So they really ran to step on the plates, determine the route, and figure out how to save people, how to hide, how to escape. They even thought that in case of failure, they would rather sacrifice themselves to save His Majesty. Thinking of such a loyal action, it must have left a strong mark in the history books.

Zhu Changluo often wrote poorly, and was arrested twice in three days to parade in the streets to criticize. When Lu Sun and the others heard the news, they hurriedly went to see it. They thought they were going to see His Majesty the Emperor in a prison car, who knows......

Zhu Changluo was wearing a dragon robe and walked out of the palace with a swagger. He paraded around the city and gave speeches, dissecting himself, pinpointing current affairs, and telling about the various darkness of the Ming Dynasty and its fall as a historical inevitability. He also interacted with the people on the spot, communicated with the people, and answered questions - this was won by Zhu Changluo himself, he felt that writing the manuscript was too tiring, and it was better to give a speech more relaxed.

There were only a small number of police officers in the lecture hall to maintain order, and basically everyone could come over and listen to what the emperor was saying. After learning about this, Lu Sun and the others received a shocking education, and they didn't believe that the fat guy on the stage was the emperor at first. But Zhu Changluo has dry goods and real materials, and what comes out of his mouth is the real life of an emperor.

How the emperor lived, this topic has already been spoken. When Lu Sun and the others arrived, they heard Zhu Changluo talk about governing the country from the perspective of the emperor, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he cried - although I am the emperor, I actually have no power. Don't talk about me, even my father Wanli, my father's father Longqing, my father's father Jiajing, my ancestors have no power for generations.

The Ming Emperor seems to be noble and sits on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, but in fact, the power is in the hands of the courtiers. If you meet a tough courtier, the emperor has no power, and the court has the right. If you encounter an incompetent courtier, let alone the emperor, the court has no power. can't collect taxes, can't govern the army, can't pacify the people, it seems that everyone is in power, but in fact, the world is going to be finished.

Zhu Changluo said one by one that there was no financial power, no military power, and no embarrassment and consequences of governing power. Finally, he cried, "Since I ascended the throne, nothing has been in charge. The courtiers were helpless against the chaos, and the gentry deceived their superiors and subordinates. Everyone only cares about themselves, and no one cares about the world. This country is not defeated in my hands, but sooner or later it will be defeated in the hands of my descendants. ”

Lu Sun is a person, it is the time for young and enthusiastic people to work hard to serve the country. But when I heard Zhu Changluo say this, it was really a basin of cold water poured down, and my heart was cold. Lu Juren felt that his three views were overturned, and his scalp was numb when he listened to it in the audience, and he couldn't help but ask loudly: "You are the emperor, why don't you save the world?" ”

Zhu Changluo actually likes this kind of speech, which is much more interesting than staying in the deep palace. Hearing someone's question, he hurriedly shouted: "I am in the deep palace, how can I save this world?" ”

The surnamed Sun also felt that the world was turned upside down, and asked loudly in an unacceptable voice: "Your Majesty is being deceived by others?" For example, the powerful eunuch? ”

"The eunuchs in the palace are all my domestic slaves, and their lives are mine, how can they deceive me? I asked the eunuchs to do their errands, and they had to do their best. It was the courtiers and gentry who really deceived me. Today, I brought a man and asked him to tell the people of the world about the affairs of the court. ”

After speaking, Zhu Changluo ran to the backstage and dragged out an old man. He shouted again and again: "The surname Fang, you are the first assistant, come and give an explanation to the world." ”

Zhu Changluo is in his thirties, and he has lost weight very well recently, and his strength has increased a lot, so he dragged out the first assistant Fang Yizhe of the Ming Dynasty. Fang Shoufu came to the stage with a sad face, and scolded in his mouth: "You are shameless, you are really a shame for the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"I've only been emperor for a year, what do I have to be ashamed of? The chaos in the world is obviously your fault, but let me carry the black pot. Zhu Changluo said justifiably, and shouted with his waist in his hand: "The surname Fang, come and tell the little brother below how you are corrupting my Daming's money and food, stirring up the people's livelihood, and the smoke is everywhere, say it quickly, say it quickly!" ”

Fang Yizhe was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded: "What does this have to do with me? There are many constraints in this court, and no one restricts them, and even the scourge is the officials and gentry below. I'm just a pastemaker, tinkering with things and mending things up. Without me, it's over tomorrow morning. ”

The emperor and Shoufu fought, this was an unprecedented drama, and the people in the audience watched it with relish, and burst into applause from time to time. Only Lu Sun and the others were stunned, their faces were pale, and they never expected that the Ming Dynasty they wanted to protect would fall to such a point - this kind of emperor should not be saved, and he can be angry to death if he is rescued.

Lu Sun and the others listened all morning. At noon, the crowd dispersed, and the two of them looked for a restaurant to have a meal in despair. As soon as he sat down, Lu Juren lamented: "My Da Ming is so unbearable ....... ”

"Brother Lu, silence. It's all around you with eyes and ears. Sun Juren hurriedly stretched out his hand and pressed it falsely, "Don't cause trouble." ”

The guy from the restaurant happened to come to add tea, and when he heard it, he said happily: "You two just went to listen to the speech of the abolished emperor, is it interesting?" It doesn't hurt to make a little comment, but the 'revolutionary army' can't help it. Our restaurant is close to the place where we speak, and every time the party ends, people come to eat at our place. There are many old and young, scolding, sighing, and regretting, and no one cares. ”

After adding tea, the guy shook his hand and shouted: "There is a new atmosphere at the beginning of this new dynasty, you two need to read more newspapers." As long as there is something to say, it is not rumor-mongering and slander, and everything said is freedom of speech, and you can speak freely. Even if it's a little complaining and swearing, it's okay now. Zhou Dashuai has a big belly and doesn't care about the people. ”

The guy at the restaurant said, 'It's okay', but Lu Sun and the others were scared a lot. They immediately kept silent, just waited for the food to be served, ate and drank, and obediently returned to the broken temple after eating. Just halfway through the road, Sun Juren grabbed Lu Juren and said, "Brother, what do you think of the people in the city?" ”

"It's very stable." Lu Juren sighed: "The people are ignorant, and they are mostly worried about overnight grain and oil, so how can they have any long-term considerations? There is no shortage of food and salary for this 'revolutionary army', and it is naturally easy to buy it. ”

"But why didn't Daming buy it?" Sun Juren asked again.

"I'm a big Ming, but I'm paid."

"But the world is still this world, why can the 'revolutionary army' make the people stable, but I can't? Could it be that it is really my official gentry who is in trouble? ”

Now Lu Juren can't answer. After walking for a while, he spoke: "I'm afraid that there is no hope for this capital land, Lu can only return to his hometown to recruit soldiers, raise the banner of rebellion, and ...... for the Ming Dynasty." ”

When it came to the words 'for Daming', Lu Juren was as uncomfortable as eating a fly, and he couldn't speak. Sun Juren said: "I want to go to Jiangnan, I heard that King Fu succeeded to the throne, maybe this Ming Dynasty still has the appearance of Zhongxing." "But Sun Juren himself is not sure about this, this 'revolutionary army' is like a fire, and it is good at boats, and it is not difficult to take Jiangnan.

The two returned to the broken temple, and Liu Fucheng knew what was going on when he looked at their faces. The latter cheered them on, and asked the two young heroes not to slack off, let alone give up - by the way, don't think about leaving. The trenching project is relatively tight these days, so you should come along. Otherwise, it's not good to eat and not work these days?!

Yang Jian was pitted, and now he saw the two newcomers coming, but he didn't remind him, but persuaded him again and again, "Those who have achieved great things are not informal", and "the sky will descend on the people, and they will also work their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, and empty their bodies", so ......, hurry up and work.

In a daze, Lu Sun and the others also went to the construction site.

Yang Jian finally didn't have to dig up the stinky sludge in the mud ditch, and he also learned from Liu Fucheng and Zhang Rushen to pick up baskets. However, when the angry young duo arrived at the construction site, they immediately had different feelings, and the poor people were willing to work for the government, which was really unexpected. What is even more astonishing is that the troops of the 'revolutionary army' actually came to the construction site to do voluntary labor, doing more than anyone else.

A banner was pulled on the shore 'Military and Civilian Fish and Water Situation', which stunned Lu Sun and the others.
