Chapter 52: Why

"You are talking nonsense, all the people in the world, whether they are princes and generals, or poor beggars, their lives are the same, and no one is more noble than the other!" Ji Sheng was knocked to the ground, but he still refused to admit defeat, he shouted: "All men are created equal, we must not treat them as livestock because they are slaves, this is not right! No matter who you are, even if you are the lord of this country, you can't!"

Zishou grabbed Ji Sheng's collar, his eyes widened angrily, and he yelled, "What did you say?

Ji Sheng swallowed, he was a little scared, but he didn't flinch. "I said that all men are equal in the world, and there should be no slaves. Even if you are the head of the country, you can't dictate other people's lives at will!"

Zishou didn't speak, he grabbed Ji Sheng's collar and stared at Ji Sheng's eyes. It turned out that at this time, he had already changed to Ying Si to grasp this body, and he was thinking about how to make the next move.

"Now, what should I do?" Ying Si thought in his heart, thinking about what he had done before Zishou. "If you guess correctly, the role I play - Zishou is a young man who is curious and testing the eyes of him. Because, in the previous dialogue between Zishou and his father, none of them were biased, those low-status slaves. Now, on the contrary, it is unusual, making things difficult for this child who defends slaves, and even wants to free them. As for the reason why Zishou made it difficult to test the boy in front of him, it was probably because there were too few people in this world who really sympathized with the weak slaves. ”

"In that case, I might as well give it a try. "When you think about it, your mind moves, and you have a fixed mind in your heart.

Ying Si put down Ji Sheng, removed his fierce expression, and showed a gentle smile, just like the bright sunshine that covered the sky and the sun when the dark clouds dispersed. "Slaves are nothing more than talking beasts in the eyes of others, and they all use them as animals. I really didn't expect you to think that, you are such an amazing person. By the way, what's your name?"

Ji Sheng didn't expect Ying Si to react like this, and he was a bit confused by the second monk, but the etiquette he had learned since he was a child did not allow him not to respond to other people's inquiries. "No, nothing. My name is Ji Sheng, and I am the son of Ji Li, the Marquis of Xibo, from Qidi, in the western part of the Yin Kingdom. ”

"Your name is Ji Sheng?" Ying Si was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the boy in front of him turned out to be the son of Xibohou, in Zishou's memory, Xibohou was the top five princes in the Yin Kingdom. "Ha, I didn't expect you to be the son of Xibohou, what a coincidence. By the way, my origin, I think you must know, my name is Zishou. ”

Hearing the name Zishou, Ji Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted and fell to his knees. "Ji Sheng saw His Royal Highness, there were no eyes under him, and he asked His Highness to atone for his sins. ”

Ji Sheng didn't expect that the puzzling boy he met turned out to be the son-in-law of the lord of the country, the prince of the Yin country, and the future master of the country.

"You and I are friends, so you don't have to be polite. Ying Si smiled and helped Ji Sheng up, he found that Ji Sheng was also extraordinary, and there was a wisp of nobility between his eyebrows.

After that, Ying Sili lost control of his body again, Zishou and Ji Sheng can be said to be Wang Ba looking at mung beans - looking at the right eye, the words between the two were very speculative, and they soon became a pair of good friends who talked about everything.

The picture turned, and a few years later, the two had grown into high-spirited teenagers.

"In other words, Brother Zishou, why do you sympathize with the slaves so much, you are the prince of our country, the future lord of the country, and you are born to be the most noble existence in this country. Ji Sheng has always had doubts about this question, among the princes and ministers he knows, the more noble the existence, the more he looks down on the slaves, and the more cruel he treats them. According to common sense, how could a person like Zishou sympathize with those slaves? Before, the two were not familiar with each other and did not dare to ask, but now that a few years have passed, it can be said that they are more like brothers than brothers. Therefore, at this time, Ji Sheng raised this question intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to get an answer.

Zishou's speed slowed down, his forehead was bruised, and he wanted to speak and stopped, as if he was making a very difficult choice. After a long time, Zishou let go of his clenched fists, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said, "Do you really, want to know? I told you you could, but I hope you must keep your mouth shut." ”

Ji Sheng nodded repeatedly. "Well, Brother Zishou, don't worry, I will definitely keep it secret for you. ”

"Actually, a long time ago, I didn't have the slightest sympathy for slaves. At that time, I always felt that slaves were slaves, and they were born to work hard to serve us noble lords. This thought has been in my mind for a long time. Until one day, a group of ministers gathered around my mother's bedchamber and demanded that my father depose the queen. ”

"It turns out that my mother is also a slave bought by my father in a remote area because of his beautiful beauty. My mother is also a princess of a country, but because of the defeat of the country, my mother was captured and sold as goods. But in order to protect my mother's reputation, as well as her innocence and status, my father made up an identity for her and made her queen. But the paper couldn't hold the fire, and the matter was still revealed, and the identity of the mother's slave was finally known by the ministers, who demanded the abolition of the queen for the sake of their father's honor. ”

"What about later?" Ji Sheng never expected that the queen of the dignified Yin Kingdom would have such a tragic past.

And Ying Si, who has been watching from the sidelines, is smacking his teeth, and he knows the subsequent development of things. Not long after, Zishou's father, Emperor Yi, in order to block the mouths of the ministers, there were rumors spread among the people. In a fit of rage, he mobilized the power of the whole country to attack the country that destroyed his queen's homeland. That country is strong, almost the same as Yin, but Di Yi has made up his mind, and no one can stop him from destroying the country. In the end, both the Yin State and that country were defeated, and the Yin State suffered the highest casualties in history, and the war was won by luck. Emperor Yi also completely established his throne in this battle, and used all the royal families of that country as slaves to wash away the slave marks on his queen's body. Let the whole world know that the queen of his emperor will always be his woman. The countries that once dared to use his queen as a slave have no future at all, and can only be slaves of his emperor for generations to pay for their sins.

is also because of his mother's former slave status, as well as the great humiliation he received, which makes Zishou extremely disgusted with people who treat others as slaves. Therefore, he also made a grand vow that he must liberate all the slaves in the Yin Kingdom during his lifetime (of course, his mother's enemies are not counted).

Next, Ji Sheng also continued to sigh and explain why he sympathized with the slave. It turned out that Ji Sheng used to be in a similar situation to Zishou, and he didn't have any feelings for slaves. But later, a slave died trying to save him, completely changing Ji Sheng's perception of slaves.

"No wonder you sympathize with slaves, too. After listening to Ji Sheng's story, Zishou also sighed and said: "Alas, why are there slaves in this world?

Ji Sheng also sighed: "Yes, it is not easy for all beings, everyone is equal, and they are the same people, why should they embarrass each other so much?"

Zishou suddenly shook Ji Sheng's hand and said excitedly: "Don't worry, we will definitely liberate all slaves and turn Yin Country into a slave-free country." ”

"Hmm. The same goes for Ji Sheng.

At this time, a lean young man wearing rags and thick eyebrows and big eyes was kicked in front of the two of them.

"You little immortal, you dare to steal my master's roast chicken, you are really looking for death! Look at me this time, I won't beat you to death!" A middle-aged short, fat man with a mustache and an oval black mole on his face walked out.

This movement attracted a lot of onlookers, who discussed and pointed at each other.

"Tut-tut, I think this little slave looks reasonable, but I didn't expect him to be a chicken and dog thief!"

"What a little slave, what a bitch, knows how to steal his master's food. ”

"Well, I've said a long time ago that slaves don't have a good thing at all, and all the old and young are the same. ”

"Phew, damn thief!"

The crowd of onlookers, some were choosing, some were scolding, and some were even spitting like a teenager on the ground.

The young man held the roast chicken in his hands and ate Haisai wildly, like a starving ghost, but his eyes were blank, as if he had accepted his fate.

"Guys, it's been a poor discipline to let yourself have such a dog thing under your hands. I will change my mistake if I know it, and now I will beat him to death. Humpty Dumpty grinned, and a sturdy cowhide whip in his hand crackled. "I'm going to have some fun for you today, and I hope you can come to my booth and buy some goods. ”

"Rest assured, rest assured!"

"Kill him, quick, kill him!"

"No problem, we'll go, let's have some fun!"

"Hurry up, don't delay us!"

The crowd of onlookers did not pity the young man's life in the slightest, and he roared, like a pack of bloodthirsty beasts, longing for a fresh life to pass away before their eyes.

"Okay, then I'll do it. The fat man rolled up his sleeves, and waved the cowhide whip in his hand, and was about to whip it at the indifferent boy on the ground.

"Rather than being a slave and living a long life without dignity, it is better to be beaten to death and die happily. The young man's godless eyes were filled with mist. "Daddy, mother, Bigan is coming for you. ”

Just when the boy thought that he was going to die, in the stunned eyes of everyone, a muscular, heroic young man grabbed the leather whip that was waving. "Don't fight, this slave, I want it!"

"Who are you?"

The young man turned around, his eyes burning, and a smile as bright as the sun appeared on his extraordinary face. "This is not a man's way to die, if you hate slavery, follow me, and I will give you the future you want. By the way, my name is Zishou. Or, you can call me Yin Zishou!"

"You are, you are the lord of the country today!" said the young man in surprise.
