Raccoon yarn from ramie (12)

The summer winds are not always gentle, but always sweep in large and wide, and with great power.

The two lanterns hanging at the entrance of the palace were blown by the wind alone, and the yellow lamp spikes were constantly fluttering in the air, like autumn leaves floating in the crowd.

Just like the feeling that Gong Yun gives people, Xiao Suo, helpless, and hesitant.

Through Gong Yun's figure, people seem to be able to see the battlefield full of blood, the general who stands his sword and half-kneels in the wind and sand, the mossy city wall is crumbling like a cloud, and the new shoots are stained with blood, the blood is dripping with leaves, the vultures eat corpses, the wind and sand are cold, and the beating of war drums knocks down the sky one after another in the autumn of slaughter.

It's not that General Gong is unwilling to save them, but that he can't protect himself.

Carrying the jade dragon, fighting for the king, and surviving from the life-and-death battles on the battlefield several times, it should have been trusted, praised and rewarded, but no one thought that the palace family would face such a situation, return triumphantly, escape from death, and the emperor who enjoyed it degraded the palace family again and again, until it was reduced to a common people.

Nowadays, in order to please a concubine, an uncountable amount of taxes is collected, just to build a useless temple, which is said to be a temple, but in fact, what is the difference between the wine pond and meat forest built by the king of Shang for Daji?

The same is lustful and intellectual, and the same is a disaster to the people.

The slender waist is drunk, and the Qin soldiers come up during the day.

When foreign enemies invaded, their monarch squeezed the blood of the people, and used it for pleasure and spending.

The soldiers who really have the ability to save the country have been degraded, and the old civilians are like useless trickles, and they can't even exchange the tree planting books of the owner.

Gong Yun was moved to see so many people kneeling in front of the palace, the palace family still has a place in the hearts of the people, and this hundred years of desperate protection has not been in vain.

But suddenly it was sad again, if it weren't for Yao Yuan's letter that was not necessary for the palace family, if there was no paving design before Changjue, would the people be so respectful and dependent?

The Gong family has always cared about the people, and it doesn't matter if they don't know their merits or demerits, but they have always firmly guarded the people of Limin. But because of this, there has been a gap with the people for a long time, the people don't know that the Gong family gritted their teeth and insisted, and the Gong family did not say that they were hard, and they had never had a heart-to-heart relationship.

If Yao Yuan didn't have one heart with the Gong family, didn't believe in the ability of the Gong family, and didn't want to help the Gong family, he wouldn't have written such an urgent report, and maybe he wouldn't have kneeling on the streets in front of him, begging for shelter.

Although he was moved, he was also a little scared and cold, if he only knelt down to worship and worship for the sake of saving their lives, the Gong family would have been dragged away just like he had been at the beginning.

It's just that Emperor Yuan, who was full of use at the beginning, is now the people they swore to shelter.

Gong Yun lowered his eyes, in fact, even if the people only begged the palace family to survive, he and Gong Zhan would definitely fight, because the people were the weakness of the palace family, and the palace family should protect the first priority. No strings attached, no returns.

Ren Xuanji stood on the platform, looked at the dense crowd of people on the street, and said leisurely,

"Don't you hate the people, in your previous life, the people treated you like that, and you can even say that you were the murderer of the Gong family."

The palace chief smiled bitterly and looked at the people downstairs,

"I hated it."

"They indirectly caused the death of the Gong family, how can I not hate."

Her eyes were stunned, and the smile on her face was sad,

"However, I gradually understood that it was Emperor Yuan and Weng Yu who really attacked us, not them."

"If I were a common man, watching the pigeon with a note fly into the palace family, knowing that the palace family had evidence of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and seeing that the emperor I had always trusted really issued a decree to punish the palace family, and even the court ministers had no objections, I guess I would believe it."

There were faint tears in her eyes, flickering in the sunlight.

"These people, they are innocent. In the end, we didn't protect them. ”

"In the previous life, it was because we didn't protect them well, they were fooled, they were used as knives to stab anyone they wanted. In the previous life, they were fooled after all, and we protected their lives, but we did not protect their spirits, resulting in them being teased by others at will, unable to judge the truth. ”

"Our Gong family has vowed to protect the people and the Great Zhou from generation to generation, but we only know how to kill the enemy, forget to care about them, integrate into them, understand them, and forget to let them understand the Gong family and understand the painstaking efforts of the Gong family."

"If we care about them as much as we do in this life, if we integrate into them, like in this life, they will not be so easily fooled, because we are not doing a good job, no wonder they are."

Gong Changjue looked at Ren Xuanji,

"Ren senior, you see, the people on the street are now believing in us, in other words, Emperor Yuan and Weng Yu throw those so-called evidence into the palace again, even if the people are not completely sure, but they will not be so sure, and they will not hesitate to run outside the palace to stop us and step on our backbone. Kill us. ”

She bowed her head and sighed softly,

"After all, we didn't do a good job."

Ren Xuanji fanned the Aoi fan and said slowly,

"Girl, you have to know that it's not your fault."

The palace chief turned his eyes, looked at the people again, and smiled lightly,

"I also know it's not our fault, but is it really just Emperor Yuan and Weng Yu who are wrong?

"We are really negligent, we have been high up and down to be our guardian saint of the Great Zhou, thinking that this will be enough, but we forgot to look at them more, understand them more, and let them understand us too."

The palace chief said,

"Seniors may know that Guan Wu has forgotten?"

Ren Xuanjidao,

"Is it the kid left behind by the Guan family?"

Gong Changjue nodded,

"Do you know what Guan Wuwu said about me?"

She recalled her funny behavior at that time, and couldn't help laughing,

"At that time, when I was on the street, I saw that the cart carrying the relief food fell from the inferior millet, and I went to Guan Wuwang in a rage, accusing him of not digging money from it, this is a life-saving straw for all people, how can he do anything about it."

Gong Changjue smiled embarrassedly,

He suddenly said solemnly, you also know that this is a matter of death for millions of Li people, but when people are hungry, grass roots, tree bark, and even the so-called Guanyin soil, what can't they eat? What about inferior millet, for them, as long as they can fill their stomachs, what can't they eat? ”

The palace chief seemed to be able to see Guan Wuforget's demeanor and appearance when he said this, looking at the people downstairs, her eyes were shining, she learned Guan Wuforget's tone, repeating Guan Wuforget's words,

"The price of buying one pound of fine rice, and being able to buy ten pounds of inferior millet, means that you can save nine times more people."

"Gong Changjue, you have always had no worries about food and clothing, you have never really seen hunger all over the ground, you are extremely hungry, even if it is Guanyin soil, it is also a life-saving thing. What's more, what was replaced became inferior millet, no longer fine rice, and along the way, the handover person could not use the part dug up from it to exchange for money, how many more people could be saved? ”

She said softly,

"You-"

With Guan Wuforget's contemptuous tone that felt a little childish about her, her lips opened slightly,

"Clear?"

Ren Xuanji listened to Gong Changjue repeat the words at that time, and shook the hand of the Kwai fan for a little relief.

Gong Changjue put away his emotions and looked at Ren Xuanji,

He is right, the people should not be just a symbol or a totem for us. If the palace family wants to be the guardian saint, only in the eyes of the people, not just a totem, a symbol, the palace family can truly become the guardian saint, the god of the Great Zhou, and the god of the people's hearts. That's the true patron saint. ”

"And in our previous life, we didn't do it."

"The people are at fault, and the palace family is also at fault."

"It wasn't until Guan Wushu said those words that I realized that they were so easily deceived because we never really knew them. They don't really get to know us either. We only know how to kill the enemy, we only know subconscious maintenance, and we engrave the word "people" as a burden in our blood and bones, but we don't look down to see who we are protecting. ”

The palace chief said,

"In this life, I guide the rumors, not only to get the Gong family out of danger, but also to let them know the real Gong family. It is not a perfect statue of a god, not a sacrosanct immortal, but an ordinary family with pain, unspeakable concealment, and scars, but this ordinary family is willing to fight for them and suffer the thunder and scorching sun for them. ”

Her eyes were relieved, with a little warm light,

"This is the palace family that the people should know."

"Therefore, in this life, the people do not suspect that the palace family is guilty and becomes a concubine, but firmly believes that it was Emperor Yuan who was at fault and hurt the palace family for no reason."

"When I die, the people will fight for me, I will not be just, the people will cry out for me, report hundreds of cases in anger, and call the world in bloody letters, tell everyone my grievances, my pain, feel sorry for me, build a grave for me, write a biography for me, continue the incense for me, pray for me to light my eternal lamp in the temple, chant the scriptures every day, surpass the soul of the dead, and return to good."

Gong Changjue smiled, but lowered his eyes, tears welled up in his eyelashes,

"Therefore, I regret even more that I did not guard them well in my previous life, they were so kind and enthusiastic, but they were used as knives and stuck in our hearts."

"Now that I've figured it out, the hatred naturally dissipates. It's just that I don't know if my father will hesitate, and I'm not sure if the people are desperate to ask the Gong family to save their lives, or if they really believe in the Gong family and support the Gong family. ”

Gong Changjue looked at Gong Yun's figure, and the people knelt beside Gong Yun and cried.

Gong Yun's back was so stunned.

Gong Changjue muttered,

"Father, you have to try to believe them."

Ren Xuanji stroked his beard and did not speak.

And the spectacular scene of the people kneeling down on the street was engraved into the heart and lungs of the palace chief.

After all, I have suffered too much in the past, and the bitterness has come.
