Chapter 337: Civil Unrest
Mobile reading
Woohoo –
Dense arrows pierced the sky and shot at a group of unarmed civilians in front of the city gates, leaving behind screams and bloody scenes.
"See? This is the end of not being able to see their identity clearly, trying to disturb the people's hearts, and harboring suspicions. A general, who looked to be about forty years old, threw his bow to his entourage and pointed to the group of people who had fallen under the weight of arrows.
"Therefore, General Ben once again advises everyone to do their part and not to incite innocent people." The general's so-called innocent man had fallen under his arrows.
The onlookers did not dare to come out, and the women hurriedly pinned the child's face to themselves and buried it in their arms.
But my body still couldn't help but tremble.
Isn't it wrong that they're just ordinary people, they just want to live?
"Dog officer, you dog officers who kill people without blinking." A white-clothed scholar who was escorted by two soldiers scolded fiercely.
But having received a good education since childhood, he could no longer scold anything else.
"Hmph, I advise you to be honest." The general glanced at the scholar with disdain, then arched his hand in the direction of the imperial capital, and said: "Your Majesty thinks about the people, not only are you scholars not grateful, but you also incite the people, which is simply condemnable. ”
"Phew-" The scholar smacked fiercely and said sarcastically: "For the sake of the people, how did he feed the people, loot the people's fat and ointment, increase taxes, and let the people live." ”
"He is also worthy of being a monarch, worthy of being a Ming monarch, he is simply a faint monarch." The scholar had put life and death aside.
Anyway, the bad result is just death.
Is his current situation not enough for them to condemn him to death?
"Eat the king's Lu, worry about the king, don't do his job or seek his own government, what have you dog officials done with the money handed over by the people?" As soon as the white-clothed scholar finished speaking, a fist fell on his face.
The white-clothed scholar's face was knocked to the other side, and the corners of his mouth instantly turned purple and blood overflowed.
As if he didn't feel pain, he stuck out his tongue and licked it gently, sneering disdainfully.
"Your Majesty is also something that you pariahs can accuse at will, Your Majesty is right to do everything, and you can't wait to be vain." His recent soldiers blindly revered the emperor's decree.
They are all the emperor's people, and the emperor has the final say.
Even if the monarch wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, so they doubt the emperor's purpose.
They should have thought about it then, because they deserved to die.
"Ha, hahaha·······" The white-clothed scholar couldn't help laughing out loud, put away his laughter, looked at the soldier, and asked, "What is the parent official?" ”
When the white-clothed scholar asked, the soldier was stunned for a moment.
What is a parent officer?
Isn't the parent official just unconditionally obedient, and what the master calls is what he does, and he can't ask or question it?
"The so-called parents should worry about the worries of the world first, and enjoy the joy of the world after the world, how can there be a reason to let their children go hungry." The scholar in white was simply disappointed in this emperor.
It's a shame that he still has the face to sit in that position, and he is embarrassed to say that it is for the sake of the people's peace and contentment.
This stomach can't be filled, and what kind of singing and dancing are you talking about, living and working in peace and contentment.
It's better to keep fighting, maybe they'll be better off when they become barbarian people.
"Is that enough?" The general who had ordered the archery before looked at the white-clothed scholar indifferently, and then glanced at the crowd coldly.
Some of the people who were forced to come to watch lowered their heads in fright and took a step back.
They are trying to help, but they are powerless, and they can't protect themselves.
"What do you guys think?" The general spoke lightly, obviously his voice had always been faint, but it made people feel creepy.
"We ······ We just want to survive. "There were bold people who had the audacity to speak their hearts.
They are just ordinary people, they don't have such big ideals, and whoever can let them survive is a good emperor.
It doesn't matter whose people it is.
"It has nothing to do with us, he instigated us." The timid man pointed to the white-clothed scholar at the front.
They don't want anything but self-preservation, just to continue living.
They have nothing to do with what they do, they are innocent.
"But what's the difference between running out of food and dying, starving to death is nothing more than chronic suicide." Someone in the crowd immediately retorted loudly.
But there were so many people that I couldn't find who said it.
"Isn't it your duty to fight? If you defeat us, you will be affected, why don't you think of a way. ”
"That is, if we increase the tax by another 30%, we really have no way to live."
The crowd retorted from all directions.
Before, everyone was just laughing and objecting, but I don't know who opened their mouths, and suddenly it seemed to have confidence, and the voice gradually became louder.
"General, there are too many people, I don't know who is leading the way." The adjutant general stood beside the general, frowning slightly.
You can't kill them all if you don't take the lead, and you can't let them go on like this.
How this cocoa is good.
"Hmph, it seems that these people are prepared." The general sneered, completely ignoring these people.
Even if you kill them all, what can you do, it's a big deal to just make up an excuse to prevaricate when the time comes.
It's just a bunch of untouchables, who cares about the lives of these people.
"Haha······" The white-clothed scholar began to laugh and said, "The people's hearts are wanted, and the dog emperor has lost the people's hearts." ”
The sound of laughter echoed throughout the city gates, and it could be called hearty.
"Someone." The general glanced coldly at the group of people who were cowering, raised his right hand and waved it forward, and said, "This Pingyang City is plagued, and after efforts to treat it, it is ineffective, and now the only way to destroy the source of infection is to destroy it." ”
The adjutant general was shocked when he heard this, this is going to kill everyone, "General." ”
If there is a plague, why hasn't there been any news before, if someone with a heart takes this handle, then the general's hard work of a lifetime can be over.
Besides, if there is a plague, it is not a sign of national destruction.
"Why, now even General Ben's order doesn't work." The general didn't scold him sharply, but on the contrary, it was this attitude that made people feel untouchable and even more fearful.
"The subordinates don't dare, but after all, they are all bewitched, why not kill the chickens and monkeys, if they don't know that they are wrong, it's not too late to kill them." The adjutant general thought for a while, and then found a way to compromise.
