Chapter 124: Unstoppable
Night.
The road is quiet.
Occasionally, the footsteps of soldiers patrolling in the distance can be heard.
Great Wei has a strict curfew.
No one is allowed to travel at night, especially officials.
At every important street intersection, there are also special armor soldiers armed with strong crossbows to guard, if they find a moving carriage or the like, they will immediately choose to shoot it.
The Great Wei Dynasty still retains a lot of wartime policies, which are not things that can be changed overnight.
The group was quietly moving down the road, they were advancing on foot, avoiding the soldiers patrolling along the road, and they came to a mansion, where someone opened the door, and the group got in.
The door of the mansion was gently shut, and they came to the study, and as someone lit a candle, the identities of the people in front of them were finally reflected.
They are a few famous people in Luoyang.
A few even served in Taixue.
Such as Sun Yan, Le Xiang, Li Kang, Sun Gai, Xu Meng, Wei Kai and many other celebrities, and the place they came to now is the residence of a minister.
This minister chose to bow his head very early but survived to the current Cui Zan, and he even has the name of Jiuqing.
When the people arrived, they saluted decently, and sent someone to keep an eye on the situation outside, and then they sat down, their faces mostly uneasy.
Cui Zan sat on the top seat, meeting everyone's eyes, and his eyes were a little sad.
At this moment, Le Xiang was the first to speak.
"Your Majesty's behavior now is wrong."
Lexiang is over 90 years old this year.
He was young and studious, learned "Zuo's Spring and Autumn" from the great Confucian Xie Cai, and wrote books to open up genres, and was a super Confucian.
When he was young, he was a doctor in Taixue, and he appointed the ceremony of the Great Wei, and he was a highly respected existence in the Shilin of the entire Great Wei, and his relationship with the Du family was extremely close, and Du had to kneel down to salute when he saw him.
He retired early, and after retiring, he returned to his home and lived a leisurely life of reading and teaching.
No matter how you look at it, it's a template for a normal Confucian.
However, it is recorded in the history books that after this retirement, all the clans of his country returned to him, and all the large and small clans gathered around him, and the number of disciples studying by his side alone exceeded thousands
He also wrote to the emperor from time to time, and the emperor did not dare to despise him.
Some time ago, he came to Taixue, which caused a great sensation.
As soon as this man spoke, many other celebrities and celebrities could only bow their heads.
Le Xiang's face was full of sadness, and he said: "Since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, I have governed the world with benevolence, whether it is my Emperor Gaozuwen or Emperor Liezuming, they all use benevolence to proclaim the world, and everyone admires it. ”
"Now Your Majesty has inherited their ambition and completed the great unification, this should be a blessing for the world, but your Majesty is good at the law and practices heavy rules, this is definitely not a blessing for the people of the world!!"
Hearing his words, many other celebrities just sighed.
They didn't even dare to go along with it.
The Criminal Department has already begun to do it.
After Wu and Shu, the Central Plains clan finally waited for the day when they were liquidated.
The county guards in various places received the order and began to send men to start forcibly relocating to the south with the many crimes they had collected earlier.
For a time, all over the world was the crying of the people!!
Wolves rushed into the homes of the good people, beat their slaves, robbed them of their food, sealed off their storearies, seized their farmland and mansions, framed them with armor and crossbows, and killed those who tried to resist.
One after another, the tall Wu forts were breached, and the flames were burning.
Amid the screams and groans of the rebels, the armor soldiers destroyed one target after another.
The tenant slaves, who were deeply favored by these people, were dragged out by the armor soldiers, and they were given ploughing land and forced to work!
As for the good people, they were forcibly put into carriages, and they were allowed to keep only a little possessions, and they marched in groups to the south.
Knights can be seen waving their pigtails on the road, women and children weeping, and they sit in carriages and head into the unknown distance.
The crying was so miserable that even these celebrities in Luoyang could hear it.
This is a tragedy that has never been seen since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty.
They just couldn't sit still.
Originally, the emperor took action against the Wu people and the Shu people, and they could accept it.
Because those people were defeated, the emperor had the right to dispose of these captives, and forcibly relocating them was a gift to them!
But we're Wei people!
We have followed the emperor for a long time and made great achievements, so why should we be treated like this?

When talking about these things, Le Xiang couldn't help but tremble.
I don't know who started first, but everyone suddenly sobbed, and the crying became louder and louder.
Cui Zan opened his mouth.
"Don't cry."
Everyone stopped, and Le Xiang immediately said: "We don't dare to go to someone like Xun Yi anymore, Xun Yi is really a flattering villain, I'm afraid that he will betray us in exchange for his own safety, this time I came to Cui Gong, I hope that Cui Gong can lead us to dissuade Your Majesty, so that he doesn't want to do such tyranny!" ”
"What are the faults of these people? Why should it be treated like this? ”
"Do they have to be treated like this just because their ancestors made meritorious deeds, have property, and have cultivated land?"
"Their arable land was not stolen, but obtained through meritorious service, and they did not do evil in the locality, but treated the people well, gave the people who had no livelihood to live, and often came forward to help them."
"The temple has no money, so it uses some small mistakes as an excuse to rob these people's property and drive them out of their homeland, how can there be such a reason in this world?!"
Cui Zan kept a straight face and did not speak.
These people finally didn't look for Xun Yi again this time.
Probably because Xun Yi betrayed his teammates faster and faster, so they didn't dare to provoke them easily.
But because this time they were directly facing a huge trauma, they had to gather together to find a way.
Cao Chao's reputation also completely collapsed at this moment, of course, it was the reputation of the scholars.
He was once again compared to the First Emperor by everyone.
They have all completed the great unification, and they all use harsh Legalist methods to harm the world.
This almost pointed at Cao Chao's nose and scolded him for dying in the second.
Everyone had different thoughts, but they all looked at Cui Zan, "Cui Gong"
Cui Zan let out a long sigh and stood up.
"And what can be done?"
"How many of the original ministers are left now?"
"Dissuade Your Majesty, how to dissuade him?"
Cui Zan said unscrupulously: "The armies of the world are in the hands of His Majesty, and the generals from all over the world, Biqiu Jian, Xiahou Xian, Wang Ji, Wen Qin, Yang Hu, Ma Long, Wen Yang, and Huo Yi can stand on our side?" ”
"Not to mention those captains and soldiers, they only obey Your Majesty, even if Biqiu Jian wants to gather these people to oppose Your Majesty, they can't do it."
"Besides, local officials, the history of assassins in the world, can there be anyone who dares to argue with His Majesty? Which of the county guards in various places was not promoted by His Majesty? Who can you say? ”
"Among the temples, Huabiao, Wang Chang, He Zeng, Zhong Hui, Zheng Yuan, Lu Zhi, Du Pre, Wei Shu, Hua Xuan, and even Lian Pei Xiu and others, but one of them is willing to support you?"
"Huabiao was the first to resign, expressing his willingness to move to Jiangling, His Majesty gave him a lot of money, Wang Changbi, Qiu Jian and others took the initiative to order the clan to cooperate with the migration, He Zeng needless to say, when His Majesty had not given the order, his people had already moved to various places"
"The whole world is already His Majesty's people, there is no opportunity, and there is no way, whether it is the people, merchants, the army, the ministers, the county guards, or even the clan, no one is willing to resist and dissuade."
Cui Zan looked at everyone, "You said you want to meet me, and you want to find a way together." ”
"As far as we are concerned, we don't have the slightest power in our hands, and our strategic talents are not as good as those of the temple and the courtiers, what other way can we dissuade Your Majesty?"
Hearing Cui Zan's words, Sun Gai couldn't help but ask, "Gong Cui, are we just watching His Majesty's tyrannical policies and being indifferent?" ”
"And what do you want to do?"
"Are you going to rebel against the slaves who are leading you? A county order can suppress you! ”
"Or do you want to play and advise Your Majesty?"
"If Your Majesty could be persuaded by you, would he still order such a thing?"
Cui Zan questioned a few words, and then sat down in his place again.
He suddenly deflated, "Let's all go back"
"Since His Majesty ascended the throne, there have been people who want to deal with His Majesty, want to dissuade him, and want to change his mind, but until now, none of them have succeeded.
"Your Majesty's momentum is already unstoppable, you don't even dare to say anything against him, only dare to secretly say a word of advice, when I talk about the army, your face is pale, almost paralyzed on the ground, the fear of Your Majesty has reached such a point, do you still want to oppose Your Majesty?"
"Let Your Majesty do it."
Cui Zan looked into the distance, "We can't do anything anymore, I'm going to write a letter tomorrow to ask for my resignation, and then lead the clansmen to Wu Land."
"I met with you this time just to say that this matter, obey Your Majesty, and still save your life, as for the Great Wei Sheji, let Your Majesty govern it himself."
After Cui Zan finished speaking, he stopped talking.
The crowd was silent.
The candle flame flickered in the darkness.
Everyone's expressions were dazed, they didn't understand why things had developed to this point, and how the young man who entered Luoyang alone at the beginning had become such a terrible ruler now, unstoppable.
The era that belonged to them seemed to be shattered.
