Chapter Ninety-Seven: Initiating Righteousness

Yu Xiucai is the first scholar he has encountered since Ye Xingyuan crossed. It was also on Yu Xiucai that Ye Xingyuan saw the use of the Mandate of Heaven for the first time, so he was very impressed.

Unexpectedly, at this juncture today, Yu Xiucai actually appeared again. Ye Xingyuan thought about it for a while, and then felt that he couldn't show weakness.

Now is the time to establish power, whoever dares to provoke himself will be hit to the point of no return! Bodhisattva's heart, thunderbolt means, for the sake of faith, what is it to get rid of a few clowns!

Ye Xingyuan didn't immediately retort, it was too low-grade, and the matter of reading people was not shrewd scolding the street. He only slowly spoke: "As soon as I returned to the village, my father and fellow villagers heard that I had won the show, so they flocked to the village, crying about the drought and begging me to try to save my life, which made people cry.

But at that time, I wondered, obviously Senior Yu was in the neighboring village, why didn't the villagers ask Senior Yu for a new school, but begged me for a new school?"

When Ye Xingyuan said this, he paused intentionally, and stared at Yu Xiucai with burning eyes. And Yu Xiucai's expression was a little unnatural, avoiding Ye Xingyuan's gaze.

Ye Xingyuan secretly sneered and continued: "Why is this? I thought about it, but I could only come up with one explanation, that is, it was useless to ask for Senior Yu.

But a new question has come out again, why is it useless to ask Senior Yu? I still can't figure out this question, so I still ask Senior Yu for advice?"

Yu Xiucai snorted coldly and replied: "This matter is very important, I can't do anything about it, it's just a matter of helplessness!"

Ye Xingyuan suddenly smiled, "No, no, no, what I see from the eyes of my fathers and fellow villagers is despair, and it is despair that no one stands up for them." Then, when I just returned to the village, I became the last straw.

If someone is willing to run for them, even if they can't solve the problem, there is hope, and they will definitely not despair! Why is there such despair? In my opinion, Senior Yu is not only powerless, but also inactive, right?"

Ye Xingyuan made Yu Xiucai speechless after three reasons in a row, so he said angrily: "If you want to add crimes, there is no excuse! Ye Xingyuan, you are here today, could it be that you are here to attack your fellow Daoists?"

"Shameless! Why should I ask!" Ye Xingyuan's face suddenly changed, and he scolded Yu Xiucai sharply, "Why did you deliberately do nothing? Could it be that you accepted the benefits of Zhou Zhixian?"

Yu Xiucai was furious, pointed at Ye Xingyuan and scolded: "Shameless thief, blood spews people!"

Ye Xingyuan spoke even more violently, approaching Yu Xiucai, "I proposed just now, all of them quote the principles of sages, which word is wrong, which word is debatable?"

What is your intention in deliberately jumping out? Could it be that you have accepted the benefits of Zhou Zhixian and come to make trouble and stir up trouble? Otherwise, it is not enough to explain your behavior!"

Yu Xiucai was stunned, blushed, and was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but saw Ye Xingyuan turn around and leave, and stopped talking to him at all.

Ye Xingyuan's eyes wandered in the crowd, it had been two days since the incident, if Zhou Zhixian hadn't started to play tricks in the past two days, Ye Xingyuan would definitely not believe it. If he is Zhou Zhixian, then the first step to play is definitely to win over the wall-riding faction among the local gentry.

In fact, if it was just a matter of rain, and the people on the plains not only did not suffer from the scourge, but instead benefited, then the attitude of the scholars from the plains and villages towards Zhouzhi County was very subtle. So this group of people must be the first to be co-opted.

In addition, a person like Yu Xiucai, who is sanctimonious but very selfish, will also be the focus of Zhouzhi County. Yu Xiucai jumped out by himself just now, which can be regarded as giving a chance to beat the villain and grasp the right to speak.

Now we must seize the time to pursue the victory and lay the theme in one fell swoop. Like in the past two days, arguing over some details is simply not grasping the main point of the issue.

Ye Xingyuan thought about it, and immediately said loudly: "Listen to me again! If the name is not right, it is not good, we are gathered here today, the first is to mourn the old man Wang, and the second is to clarify the truth and impeach the cool officials. You should first choose a name for the meeting so that you can unite the people and move on to the details!"

In Ye Xingyuan's opinion, Ouyang's predecessor's biggest mistake was always trying to reach an agreement first, and then shouting slogans. As a result, they have been here for two days, and now it is still a mass gathering with no theme, so what's the use?

Usually literati gatherings, and often have a name, such as Lanting Yaji or something. But this time it was unusual, and no one had the heart to think about it.

In this way, Ouyang Juren asked Ye Xingyuan: "What the virtuous nephew said is very reasonable, I don't know what name we should use for this gathering of gentry in Guiyang County?"

Ye Xingyuan said calmly: "I look at this matter, the name is vulgar and not elegant, according to what I think, it will be named after the word 'driving Zhou', how about calling it the driving Zhou gathering?"

A group of scholars were in an uproar, this name is indeed too vulgar, but because it is vulgar, the meaning is very distinct, it is to target Zhouzhi County, and it is also an incompatible target!

After all, Zhou Zhixian represents the authority of the imperial court, is this name too direct? Ding Juren and the others looked at each other and wanted to open their mouths to refute, but thinking that Yu Xiucai was scolded by Ye Xingyuan just now, they subconsciously hesitated.

Ouyang Juren whispered to Ye Xingyuan, "There are a lot of people who are undecided, what can they do?"

Ye Xingyuan didn't care, and said confidently: "Late life has its own way!"

Ouyang Juren was about to ask, but when he saw Ye Xingyuan facing the crowd, he suddenly said sharply: "There is no order to learn, so although the kid is a junior, he still has to say a word! There are only two kinds of people standing here today, and there will definitely be no third!"

"The first type of person is a person who has Li Shu in his heart, is not afraid of power, and dares to ask for his life for the people!" Ye Xingyuan said this, and suddenly raised his hand to point at Ouyang Juren, "Just like Ouyang Seniors who are deeply admired below! As for Xia, of course, he also follows Ouyang Seniors Jiwei and does his best for the people of Guiyang County!"

Ouyang Juren stood in the crowd dumbfounded, he was watching Ye Xingyuan's impassioned speech, but he suddenly put on a high hat and pushed himself out. In broad daylight, it would be embarrassing to openly tout like this

Ye Xingyuan didn't care about Ouyang Juren's psychological activities, "The second type of person is the person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, selfish, exterminating human nature, forgetting his roots, and flattering the powerful! I think Senior Yu is like this!"

This series of bad comments was thrown, and everyone talked about it one after another.

Ye Xingyuan still added fuel to the fire, "I want to repeat below, there are only two kinds of people standing here today, and there will definitely be no third kind! Anyone who does not belong to the first type is the second type!"

Suddenly, the crowd seemed to have exploded, and at this time, Ouyang Juren looked at Ye Xingyuan again, and suddenly felt that Ye Xingyuan had become very unfamiliar, and he was no longer the mountain village boy in his impression.

Ding Juren, who had always disagreed with Ouyang Rin, finally couldn't help but stand up and scolded Ye Xingyuan: "The sage also said the golden mean, either/or is too extreme. You are young and do not know the importance of it, so don't talk about it here, and don't retreat quickly!"

In the eyes of Ding Juren, Ye Xingyuan is more like Ouyang Rin invited to sing double reeds, otherwise how could Ouyang Rin raise Ye Xingyuan first, and Ye Xingyuan later touted Ouyang Rin's truth? A small character, who does he think he is, dare to be presumptuous here!

Ye Xingyuan slowly turned to Ding Juren, gritted his teeth and said: "The people in the mountains are suffering and starving, but I am afraid that starvation will appear in a few days, at this time, Senior Ding wants to say the mean?"

"Then you" Ding Juren was about to say something. But seeing that Ye Xingyuan suddenly interrupted Ding Juren, he shouted: "Since Senior Ding thinks like this, I don't want to persuade you below." Then in my eyes, you are the second kind of person! Guiyang County will be ashamed because of you, and in the future, it will be ashamed of calling you a senior!"

At this time, everyone woke up to what Ye Xingyuan meant when he said that there would be no third kind of person. Anyone who doesn't want to be the first kind of person will be branded as the second type by him, and he will not give anyone a third choice.

From the very beginning, he stated the theme of "driving Zhou", that is, all the local gentry who refused to impeach Zhou Zhixian in a clear and unambiguous manner were regarded by him as the second kind of people!

Maybe it's too extreme, but who dares to wear such a big hat as the second kind of person? If anyone wears it, then the reputation of the village will be ruined immediately.

Ye Xingyuan understands very well that many of the gentry in this county are centrists, or they want to ride the wall in their hearts, but they don't say that. Otherwise, why would there be no result in arguing for two days?

This part of the people who are pulled over are their own people, and those who are pulled over are the opposites. In any case, a protracted argument is not beneficial, it will only cause a split among the gentry crowd.

Therefore, Ye Xingyuan's attitude fiercely raised the righteousness of "not afraid of power and asking for life for the people", so that most people could not refute this "natural justice", and then clearly divided the camp, and finally invited the king to sit in the urn.

As the so-called unity of the majority can be united, as for those who do not want to be united, that is the enemy, and they must be completely criticized and criticized, so that they will be ruined!

Ding Juren knew that the hat of "second type of person" must not be worn, but he had already been controlled by Ye Xingyuan's momentum, and it was difficult for him to argue head-on.

Therefore, he didn't dare to argue with Ye Xingyuan, and only said: "I don't have this intention, I just advise you to be cautious, Brother Ye Xian is enthusiastic, and my generation does not dare to fall behind." ”

Ye Xingyuan glanced at him coldly, "The Tao is different, and I don't dare to be with you." That senior Yu is your fellow believer. ”

"The kid is too deceitful!" Ding Juren was really angry, and he became angry when he became nameless.

Ye Xingyuan said sarcastically: "The people in the mountains are still waiting for our generation to rescue, but Your Excellency is still entangled here, what is your intention? Don't force the people to ignore the dignity of Shilin and eliminate harm for the people!"

Ding Juren is the leading figure in the county, and today he was humiliated by a small character and couldn't hold his head up. Everyone saw it in their eyes, and they unconsciously couldn't treat Ye Xingyuan as a junior anymore, and they were faintly in awe.

Ye Xingyuan, who advocated righteousness, asked proudly: "Who else is willing to be the second kind of person?"
