The mighty Luan drove forward under the escort of a large number of officers and soldiers and guards.

After entering the territory of Qixian County, the mood of the hundred officials became even happier.

There are a lot of rumors about Guide Province.

And these rumors ...... It seems that many officials who have been under the violence of factory guards have expectations.

His Royal Highness King Xin's governance has quickly been fruitful, what does this mean?

It shows that the scriptures are effective.

Scripture can govern the world, and the world can also govern greatly, isn't this better than His Majesty's spoiled ministers?

Now that there are many thieves in the world, only through indoctrination can the people know their loyalty and righteousness, so that they will not dare to rebel indiscriminately.

Otherwise, the etiquette will collapse, everyone will be a thief, how long can this Ming Dynasty last?

Seeing the devastation in Henan and the thousands of miles of red land, everyone's hearts became more and more urgent.

When you arrive at Guide Mansion, you can see King Xin.

The wisdom of the king of faith has spread far and wide all over the world, and it has also allowed His Majesty to wake up from now on, get close to the gentleman, and alienate the villain.

Liu Hongxun was one of the most active people, and as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he talked with hundreds of officials, and the conversation was very strong along the way.

The other Hanlin and Imperial Historians respected his character and were willing to surround him, walking and talking loudly.

"The people have reached this point, and if they don't cut taxes, they won't be able to live."

"It's the pole, it's the pole. Don't take it lightly, the world is going to be in chaos, and this is done very well by the Defu government. ”

"This is because His Royal Highness the King of Faith has the people in mind."

Everyone's words, my words, are even more heart-wrenching.

Liu Hongxun stroked his beard, quite proud, seeing Huang Liji and Sun Chengzong in front, but no one else was talking, he couldn't help but think in his heart, Huang Liji is a eunuch, but Sun Chengzong is a clear stream authentic, he must also have a high opinion, but I don't know, why don't you say it today.

So, he called Huang Liji and Sun Chengzong with a red face: "Huang Gong, Sun Gong." ”

Huang Liji and the others glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but smile bitterly, so they stopped and looked back at Liu Hongxun.

Liu Hongxun had already come forward with hundreds of officials, and Liu Hongxun proudly saluted the two scholars first, and then said: "What everyone said, I don't know what Huang Gong and Sun Gong wanted?" ”

Huang Liji is an old slippery head, although he is a eunuch, he is actually not a eunuch, although he is attached to Wei Zhongxian, but he is not particularly close to Wei Zhongxian, in front of these hundred officials, he just smiled and kept silent.

He was waiting for Sun Chengzong to speak, Sun Chengzong was more straightforward, and sure enough, he said: "Tax cuts? Good, good. ”

When Liu Hongxun and the others heard this, they all laughed.

It seems that Sun Gong is still very knowledgeable.

"But ......," Sun Chengzong said in a long voice.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help frowning.

The most feared ones are 'but', 'but', 'but'.

Sun Chengzong said: "What is the use of this tax reduction or not? Look at the princes here, ordinary people, they can't even eat, they have become rogues, do they care if you raise taxes or reduce taxes? What is the use of raising and reducing taxes for those who are really proper, who have a lot of servants and many cattle and horses at home, and who cannot be taxed on their heads anyway? It can be seen that the princes are happy to discuss the issue of tax increases and tax reductions here, but they are just empty talk, just sitting and talking about the Tao, but using non-existent benevolence and righteousness to make themselves appear wise. ”

But in fact, everyone has seen clearly, the root of the problem is that the people can't live, they can't survive and become homeless, and if they are hungry, they will become homeless, and they don't want to think about how to make the homeless people eat their stomachs. In my opinion, instead of talking about this, we might as well think about why there are mountains of grain piled up in the barn, and why they have to wait until the homeless people have become outcasts, invade their homes, kill their entire families, rob them of their money and food, and then regret it when such a tragedy happens. ”

Sun Chengzong's words suddenly made Liu Hongxun and the others unable to hang on their faces.

It's just that Sun Chengzong is an emperor and enjoys a great reputation, so it is inconvenient to attack.

Huang Liji said with a smile on the side: "Yes, yes, what Sun Gong said is right, the old man agrees." ”

Liu Hongxun lowered his face: "It seems that Sun Gong does not approve of the implementation of benevolent government." ”

"Agreed." Sun Chengzong said: "This benevolent government ...... I want to say it every day, and I can say it a hundred times a day that I love the people of this world. But what? The people are still the opposite, and you say a hundred times that the world is worried about the world, and no one pays attention to you. ”

"You ......" Liu Hongxun said unceremoniously: "The people are the people who keep to themselves." But if these people dare to rebel, they are thieves! Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone gets and punishes them, like such people who refuse to settle down, they should be killed one by one. ”

When it comes to the rogue, many people can't help but grit their teeth.

It's the kind of hatred that doesn't compromise in the slightest.

These people swept through the state and county, killing officials, killing gentry, and plundering wealth, and among the hundreds of officials, I don't know how many people were victimized.

Sun Chengzong's face was very calm, and he said: "If you say you should kill, you should naturally kill, then you should kill." ”

Sun Chengzong is really bored.

All the way, I was full of devastation, but I listened to a group of people talking about benevolence and righteousness here.

His last bit of good temper ended there.

Liu Hongxun couldn't help blushing, Sun Chengzong was sarcastic about him.

Speaking of killing thieves, after all, Sun Chengzong really skipped Liaodong and fought with the Jiannu people.

And you, Liu Hongxun, and the others, are killing thieves with their mouths open and closed, but most of them are safe in the capital, and they haven't even seen a thief.

Liu Hongxun took a deep breath, and then said: "People like Wang Wenzhi can do it for us, and within half a year, this rogue will be leveled by Wang Wenzhi, and then he will ...... It's visible. ”

Half a year of peace, this is not a big word in the minds of hundreds of officials, that Wang Wenzhi's generals, even battles and victories, the officials and soldiers have passed, and the thieves are frightened.

What's so great about you Sun Chengzong?

Sun Chengzong didn't bother to argue with them, but said: "It seems that if you talk like this, thieves can't be killed." ”

In his opinion, the words are not speculative for more than half a sentence.

With that, just turn around and leave.

Huang Liji was very excited, and it felt good to use Sun Chengzong as a gunman.

ignored Liu Hongxun and others, and chased after Sun Chengzong.

Only Liu Hongxun and others were left behind, frozen in place.

"We'll see." Someone whispered angrily: "I think this grandson is also going to become a eunuch." ”

……

The mighty men and horses marched all the way and finally arrived at the county seat of Qixian County.

It's just that it's still desolate, and there's no one in sight.

Liu Hongxun and the others became excited again, as if they were making up for a big battle between Wang Wenzhi and Liukou here.

It was only after entering the county seat that everyone found out...... It's an empty city.

That's right...... It has long been deserted, there are no officials, no soldiers, no residents, nothing but ruins and devastation.

Liu Hongxun and others were busy near Luanjia and wanted to inquire about the news.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was also surprised at this time, and hurriedly summoned people to ask.

A hundred households from a warrior battalion came forward and said, "Your Majesty......"

"Why is there no one here, where is Xin Wangwei?"

Everyone looked at the hundred households and did not make a sound.

The hundred households said: "When the humble came here to inquire first, he found ...... The people here have long since run out, and the corpses are strewn all over the field. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse became more and more strange.

Liu Hongxun and the others felt incredible, Liu Hongxun finally couldn't help but step forward and said: "What is this, Xin Wang Wei is clearly stationed here, and this place has long been recovered by Xin Wang Wei, could it be a mistake, or ...... Have something else hidden? ”

These hundred households are also helpless, I'm telling the truth.

It's just that the people who question him are not something he can afford to provoke.

He had no choice but to say: "Before I was humble, I found a scholar here......

The Emperor of the Apocalypse and the others were suspicious in their hearts and were anxious to solve their doubts, so the Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "Go, call this scholar, I will ask in person." ”

After a while, Deng Tiancheng, who was disheveled and beaten like a pig's head, was brought up.

His expression was very distracted, his eyes were blank, and he seemed to be greatly frightened, and as soon as he arrived at Luan's side, he knelt in the mud.

"Who are you?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse said.

Deng Tiancheng, who was kneeling on the ground, was still stunned and didn't speak.

The hundred households on the side said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty...... This is what this man looked like when he found out...... He wouldn't say anything, just smirked......"

Everyone looked at the person in front of them with disdain, saying that he was a scholar, but he did not have the vigor that a scholar should have, his clothes were ragged, covered in blood, like a beggar.

But......

When these hundred households speak of His Majesty.

Deng Tiancheng seemed to have some reactions all of a sudden.

He looked up blankly, looking at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, his gaze seemed to slowly have a little focus, and then ...... But suddenly he let out a whimper, howled and cried, and said vaguely: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... Your Majesty is in charge of us, student...... Student Deng Tiancheng ......"

Deng Tiancheng......

As soon as this statement came out.

Everyone was in an uproar.

Looking at this person with a blue nose and swollen face, as well as this ragged appearance, no one can associate him with Deng Tiancheng, who was in a scarf shirt, with a feather fan in his hand, and talking and laughing.

"What's going on here, the reader you're travelling with?"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse asked.

Deng Tiancheng was overwhelmed with grief, but just now he cried, but he suddenly vented some of the depression accumulated in his heart.

He burst into tears and said sadly: "Dead, all dead, all dead......"

He's dead......

From Deng Tiancheng's embarrassed appearance, to Deng Tiancheng's words, everyone couldn't help but stand up their hairs.

Liu Hongxun was already in a hurry, and along the way, he had a lot of impressions of Deng Tiancheng, although he was just a lifter, he was quite dignified.

He took a step forward, made a careful recognizance, and sure enough...... It's really Deng Tiancheng.

So his eyes widened and he said, "It's so decent, why are they all dead?" ”
