Chapter 376: Changing Minds

And that Chen Qiang has been staying at the city gate for a day or two.

Except for the time when he went to the latrine, he appeared in front of everyone.

In just a few days, he seemed to have become a lot haggard.

According to the confessions of the soldiers guarding the gate, some people from the White Kingdom still secretly came here, hoping to see their emperor.

Xi Yu sighed, even if someone is bad, there are always people who are friendly with them.

Zhou Yu and the soldiers slammed the old man to the ground.

Because Chen Qiang is here, it has also become a place to visit.

Zhou Yu asked: "Let's take a look, this old man, are you familiar with it?" ”

A lot of people just came over.

"Hey, this old man is indeed very familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere."

A young man muttered.

And there was also Bai Yuan in the crowd.

Bai Yuan said: "I remember, he is the Taoist priest who lobbied that day, that is, he is talking nonsense, and everyone is wronging the public."

As soon as he said this, everyone had an impression of it.

"Yes, so to speak, I also remembered, it was indeed this brute, and I almost fell for him."

He must have conspired with the poisoner.

Many people pointed at the old man and kept insulting him.

Xi Yu happened to come too, and when he heard these voices, he felt both relieved and sad.

Sure enough, it's this old guy.

Zhou Yu asked the soldier guarding the door to bring a whip, and immediately a whip came.

Zhou Yu directly beat up the old man.

"Bastard beast, dare to pretend to be a ghost".

The old man shouted loudly: "Wronged, wronged." ”

He never thought that he would lose his words after drinking and actually attract the attention of others.

Someone once told him not to drink indiscriminately, but he never listened, but today something finally happened.

"Xigong, you shouldn't treat me like this, I've never done anything like this."

Zhou Yu's whip hit again.

"Bastard, everyone has seen it very clearly, do you still say that you haven't done such a thing?"

After being beaten several times, the old man's skin was cracked.

Helpless, he had no choice but to admit that he was indeed a fake Taoist priest.

All this was done by Mao Dacheng himself.

And at the same time, he also found some people to pretend to be little Taoist priests.

It turned out that his family was very poor.

In the past, Mao Dacheng knew about this, so he deliberately found someone to bring him to his side and let him do something. At the same time, it gave him a lot of benefits.

And in itself, he is not a person who has any principles, as long as there is a benefit, he will do it.

Mao Dacheng saw this, so he dressed up as a Taoist priest and bewitched the public here.

Zhou Yu's face turned pale, and he whipped him again.

"You are so inferior to a beast that you have harmed your own people."

And many people talked about Mao Dacheng.

It turned out that this matter really had something to do with him.

Some people cried on the spot, for those who died in the well water incident.

"My family, you died so tragically."

"This Mao Dacheng used to say that he loved the people like this, but he personally harmed his own people."

Someone asked Xi Yu to find Mao Dacheng quickly.

Xi Yu immediately appeased these people.

Don't worry, sooner or later this brute will be found.

When this question was mentioned, Zhou Yu was a little unhappy.

If it weren't for my own carelessness, how could these things have happened?

So, he felt very ashamed.

The old man hurriedly said, let's let myself go, he is all for benefits, he is not bad in nature.

Many people picked up some rocks and started to throw them at him, and some even spat on him.

It's all come to this point, and it's disgusting to say such things.

And Xi Yu didn't interfere, obviously acquiescing to this.

After a while, Xi Yu asked the old man to tell all the people who were pretending to be little Taoist priests.

The old man was completely convinced at this time, and he said that he was willing to speak.

He said a few people at once, and Zhou Yu asked the soldiers to quickly find a piece of paper to write down.

According to the previous conclusions, the person who pretended to be a little Taoist priest was about five, which was basically the same as what the old Taoist priest said.

Zhou Yu sent someone to arrest a few people under the command of Xi Yu.

I hope that Zhou Yu will personally lead everyone this time, but there must be no more moths, otherwise it will be dealt with directly by military law.

"Don't worry, Xi Gong, his subordinates will definitely complete the task successfully."

At this moment, several teams carrying grain came to the gate of the city, which were sent by some princes of the Central Plains.

Xi Yu began to ask everyone to distribute food.

Many people are temporarily relieved from the gloom of pain.

Chen Qiang's eyes were particularly hollow.

Xi Yu looked at him and said, "You and Mao Dacheng are one for the sake of enriching the country, and the other is for being able to get more territory, so they have done things that are not as good as beasts." People like you are not going to end well. I was going to catch Mao Dacheng and let you die later, but this will make you live for a few more hours, and now I have changed my mind. ”

Xi Yu ordered the soldiers to kill Mao Dacheng.

And Xi Yu said: "I chose a way for you to die, and burned you directly with fire, which can make your pain less." ”

Chen Qiang was startled and peed his pants again.

Burned to death, or said to be less painful?

What does this mean?

The soldier immediately began to operate the matter.

Chen Qiang was eventually burned to death, and many people applauded.

And in the crowd, there were actually a few Bai Guoren, and when they saw this scene, they were very painful, and they actually threw themselves directly into the flames.

They claimed to be dying with their emperor, and many soldiers were going to pull them.

But they seemed to have infinite strength, and they had to burn them to death.

Xi Yu became angry and said to the soldiers: "Don't pull them, since they have to choose this path, then fulfill them." ”

It's not that he doesn't sympathize with these ordinary people, but he also knows that these ordinary people are like going mad, and it is very difficult to do ideological work for them.

Their stupidity really hurts themselves.

Eventually, those who were willing to die died.

And Xi Yu temporarily returned to the palace, he locked himself in a room and began to think.

Through this incident, he felt that many loyal and patriotic ideas in ancient times were completely wrong.

He had to use the wisdom of his past life to illuminate this place.

He also understands that the human mind cannot be transformed in a day or two.

It's been a long process.

And it's going to be accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice,

Some things can backfire if you rush things too quickly.

But anyway, he still had to give it a try.

Yes, he must promote his ideas throughout the country.

Maybe he will be an emperor in the future.

If he makes the common people very civilized, even this emperor has become an ornament, but he still has to do it.

He also thought that in ancient society, many emperors understood, but they used various doctrines to fool the people, so that they were willing to be their own loyalists.

So, this has to change.

He shouted loudly: "Someone is coming, pen and ink are waiting." ”

Soon, a little eunuch brought pen and ink.

"Alright, close my door, no one is allowed to enter without my permission."

The little eunuch did the same at once, and stood guard at the door.

Although Xi Yu did not claim the title of emperor here, these little eunuchs treated him as if they had treated Mao Dacheng before, and they all regarded him as an emperor in their hearts.

He wrote an article in a frenzy, called Down with Dong Zhongshu.

Because since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu deposed Confucianism from all schools.

But he didn't really want to respect Confucianism, but used this kind of thinking to confuse the people.

So now I have to change that.

The doctrines of the hundred schools of thought can be widely and freely chosen.

And in the next step, he opened a academy and a school, and he must do the same.

In addition, the idea of loyalty to the monarch is not advisable, and no one must willingly obey a person, but must have interests.

In other words, whether it is the king or the owner of the merchant, he must bring benefits to his subordinates.

There is nothing wrong with individuals pursuing their own interests.

Xi Yu also knows that this remark is expected to cause a revolutionary storm, and it may even take a long time for people to accept.

There will also be people who insult themselves because of this, not only for being an official, but even for some ordinary people.

Just like the few white people who have to die today.

When he finished writing this idea in a frenzy, he then asked the eunuch to instruct him to find a few printers to spread it throughout Fangjun and the entire Central Plains in a short period of time.

Strive to let all ordinary people know about their remarks.

And the facts have proved that this statement did cause a revolutionary storm.

Maybe in the hearts of the people, it will just cause some waves, and finally return to calm, so the next step is to vigorously popularize this knowledge in the school.

A few days later, Wenxuan in Youzhou got this manuscript book, and felt his blood boiling.

Xiao Cui didn't understand why Miss was so happy.

Wen Xuan explained to her.

But Xiaocui felt that this remark was too shocking, and this was a big rebellion.

"Xiaocui, what do you know? Sooner or later, we will have to get to this point. ”

Of course, that's all for later.

After Xi Yu finished writing and instructed the eunuch to finish, Zhou Yu immediately came to report that a few young people pretending to be little Taoist priests had also been found.

They themselves are unemployed people who are idle. But they generally live in poor rural areas, so when they go to the city, no one knows them at all.

"Okay, Chen Qiang has been burned to death, kill these young people and the old man together."

Xi Yu didn't want to give them any chance to beg for mercy this time, because what they did was so hateful.

Xi Yu said: "Let's burn them to death too." ”

At the city gate, the poor men and the old man were about to pass through the fire.

The old man scolded loudly: "How can this be, this drama is too bad for a beast, I have already taken the mistake and provided him with clues, how can he do this to me?" ”

And several young men scolded the old man.

"It's just that you suffer alone, why do you have to confess all of us?"

Zhou Yu said that if they insulted Xi Yu again, it would make their death even more uncomfortable.

When the fire came, several people were pushed into the fire pit.

They complained bitterly.

However, the people of the county are better.

Now the people are looking forward to Mao Dacheng being caught quickly.

It's been another late night.

Xi Yu learned that Mao Dacheng had not yet appeared, and felt very painful.

I don't know how to give an explanation to the people.

And Mao Dacheng has been living in the cellar.

My body has also improved in the past few days.

It was the man who went outside and got him some medicine.

The man's name was Di Qing.

On this day, Di Qing brought him dinner and said, "Now the whole city is arresting you everywhere, and there has been a reward order. So I decided I should send you away. ”

Mao Dacheng was taken aback,

"In that case, if you send me away, isn't that letting me go to the fire pit?"

"That's a good word for a fire pit."

Di Qing's face was particularly cold.

"Several people have already died in the fire."

So, he told Chen Qiang and the few people who were pretending to be Taoist priests.

Mao Dacheng was even more frightened.

Then there will definitely be no good end for me.

Di Qing said: "If I am not mistaken, it is possible that the search of each house will start tomorrow. When the time comes, I'll definitely find out here, and won't I be beheaded too? ”

Mao Dacheng was frightened and frightened.

"Please, don't take me out. Don't worry, as long as I win the country, it will definitely bring you benefits. ”

However, Di Qing said that now that he is unable to protect himself, what is the use of saying these words?

So, Mao Dacheng knelt down for him.

"I beg you, you must let me go, okay?"

Di Qing was about to speak, when he suddenly had an idea and said, "Since that's the case, let's talk about it later." ”

After a while, he walked out, but soon came in with a stick.

Mao Dacheng was startled, so he hurriedly asked him what he was doing.

Di Qing shouted loudly, "You better pass out first." ”

knocked Mao Dacheng unconscious with a stick.

In the early morning of the next day, a secret guard appeared beside Xi Yu, saying that he had already captured Fang Zhongyuan.

In the past few days, the dark guard has been under the orders of Xi Yu, and has been secretly observing Fang Zhongyuan.

But he never got any control from him.

And finally last night, Fang Zhongyuan said that he conspired with Mao Dacheng when he was talking in his sleep.

It made the guards feel very happy.

Finally, a conclusion can be reached. So before dawn, they came.

So, Xi Yu asked the secret guards to quickly bring this beast to the court.

And the secret guards knocked Fang Zhongyuan unconscious according to Xi Yu's orders.

After a while, everyone came to the morning court and saw Fang Zhongyuan lying on the ground, feeling incredible.

But one of the soldiers said that he could not be touched, and he would talk about it after everyone had arrived.

And Xi Yu watched from behind the screen.

After a while, everyone arrived.

Liu Bei already knew about this, so he asked the soldiers to quickly wake up each other, so as not to make everyone wonder anymore.

Soon a soldier began to bring cold water, Fang Zhongyuan woke up, he suddenly found that he was in the super court, and he was startled.

And Xi Yu had already seen the expressions of the other four people who conspired with him.

Fang Zhongyuan immediately got up and saw that everyone was also looking at him with blank eyes.

He hurriedly asked what was going on?

Liu Bei asked coldly: "Fang Zhongyuan, say, what did you do wrong?" Hurry up and explain it 1510. ”

Fang Zhongyuan thought to himself, has that incident already happened in the east window? Naturally, he wouldn't admit it.

He then said that he was confused and wronged.

So Liu Bei asked this secret guard to come out and talk about the relevant things.

Fang Zhongyuan was startled, it turned out that when he was talking in his sleep, he actually told the truth of the matter.

Liu Bei asked coldly: "This time, what else do you have to say?" ”

"Liu Gong, you also said it, this is just a dream talk, how can you count?"

"If it's not a dream, how can you tell the truth? Fang Zhongyuan, I hope you should hurry up and explain, otherwise, we can serve the big punishment. ”

Then, Liu Bei asked the soldiers to bring out some torture tools.

And many ministers think that it is very inappropriate to move the torture instruments here.

"You don't have to tell me about these things, this is the order of the drama master."

When Liu Bei said this, everyone didn't dare to say anything more.

When Fang Zhongyuan saw those torture instruments, he was terrified.

Because he had seen prisoners being treated with this torture instrument before.

He was immediately frightened, and quickly told the truth, and confessed all four of his companions.

The four companions were also very angry.

As soon as people scare you, you recruit them all, which is ridiculous.

But Liu Bei took out a note in public, which was exactly a few related people written by the drama a few days ago.

And let the eunuch pass it on to everyone.

Everyone felt very surprised, it turned out that everything was under the control of Xi Yu.

And the five immediately confessed.

Liu Bei ordered on the spot to directly drag these five people out and kill them.

The five began to beg for mercy, saying that they were all confused for a while, and that they would still let them go.

"It's ridiculous, you're not three-year-olds, and you dare to call you stupid."

Eventually, all five were beheaded.

Although there are also ministers who have proposed it, they should ask for beheading after the autumn and something.

But Liu Bei said that this was also the order of the drama father.

If anyone dares to do anything bad again, this is the end.

Many ministers felt that today's early dynasty had never encountered it. A smell of blood also rushed to their side.

And Fang Zhongyuan also said Zhuge Divine Doctor before he died.

Because everything was given by him, this is why this happened.

Fang Zhongyuan thought to himself, he couldn't survive anyway, he had to come to a cushion, so that his heart would be more balanced. (End of chapter)
