Chapter 245: The Wind of Public Opinion

On the fifth day of Ye Xingyuan's coming, he heard that Shanhaiguan was broken. The demon clan invaded Liaodong, looted on a large scale, killed people and lost blood.

"Only one day to attack the city! The general army of Shanhaiguan led his cronies to flee and retreated into the Tieshan Mansion overnight! He let the army of the demon clan enter the pass, killing thousands of people in the pass, and there is really no redemption!" The general soldiers who were greedy for life and afraid of death were scolded on the street.

At the same time, Ye Xingyuan also received an invitation, which was also a gathering of candidates in this small city in the south of the Yangtze River during the examination.

Ye Xingyuan didn't wonder why other candidates could contact him, he himself was a loner and didn't form a gang, but the candidates who also came to the examination must have contact. Although the position of each lifter is random for the sake of fairness, there are thousands of lifters scattered all over the country, and there are only a dozen people in this city. With a deliberate investigation, Ye Xingyuan's identity can naturally be found.

The situation was dangerous, and it seemed that it was time to discuss the plan, Ye Xingyuan didn't think much about it, so he accepted the invitation and met with more than ten local candidates.

Many of these dozen people know each other, even if they don't know each other, they can always find some relationships, only Ye Xingyuan really has no relationship with them. As soon as they heard Ye Xingyuan's words, everyone was surprised.

Some people were genuinely happy, "It turns out that Ye Gongzi is actually with us, I have heard Ye Gongzi's talent for a long time, and I didn't expect to meet in this situation." ”

But there are also people with sour words in their words, "In addition to Ye Gongzi's identity, he should have a title, I think that people are set in Beijing, and I don't want to be in this land south of the Yangtze River, isn't this a loss of identity?"

This is an insinuation that Ye Xing is fortunate to enter the door, and with a knighthood, he should not be confused with them. This kind of person is jealous, Ye Xingyuan doesn't care about it, just like a deaf ear. He said with a smile: "How dare you brag about the atmosphere when you are only a shallow learner? I am here today to ask you how to deal with the current situation. ”

Time is running out, too lazy to talk to them too much, if these candidates have any good way to work together, Ye Xingyuan doesn't mind cooperating. But if they don't have this awareness, then there will only be differences in the Tao.

The surname of this group of people who are the leaders of the group is Bao, about thirty years old, with a white face and a slight beard, listening to Ye Xingyuan's transfer to the main topic, he smiled and said: "It turns out that Ye Gongzi is also an impatient person, but now that the situation is at a critical point, we can't waste time, so I ask you to discuss it." ”

Speaking of the current situation of this exam. Half of the people were speechless, and a few said with a wry smile: "In the seventeenth year of Chongwen in the Southern Jin Dynasty, the demon rode through the mountain customs, and since then the situation has been eroded and uncontrollable, and the hinterland of the Central Plains can be driven straight into." If the capital is not set in the south, I am afraid that it will not last for three years and the country will be destroyed.

What else can we do in this situation? It is nothing more than a determination to die for the country. Just scold the thief. ”

There are a few fierce ones who have already thought about it, and nothing else can be done. It's always okay to scold people, and they have begun to secretly embellish their rhetoric and prepare a scolding of thieves. Such a temperament must be a full score, if the momentum is good in writing, the article will definitely get a good score.

As for the policy part, everyone is half-pounded and eighty-tael. No one can be far ahead, as long as they don't fall behind.

In fact, this is the insight of most people, in these last days, scholars have thousands of books in their stomachs, and they cannot return to the turmoil. That's just the way to go.

But there are also people who have different ideas, Bao Juren saw that everyone thought like this, and there was no new opinion, so he coughed and said: "Scolding the thief and begging for death, although it is generous and heroic, but after all, it will not help, and it will not save the world."

Let's not talk about the righteousness of these families and countries, just talk about this test, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to outperform others. Don't you want to keep your useful body, Xu Tu later?"

Ye Xingyuan nodded approvingly, I didn't expect that there are still people here who have a little knowledge, integrity is important, but it is by no means to let you die in vain. Speaking of which, more than 1,000 people are from later generations, although it is impossible to know the details of the demon clan's destruction of the Southern Jin Dynasty in detail, but several key points can be mastered, if you can give full play to the advantages of foresight, it is not that there is no chance to turn things around.

It's a pity that most people are stupid when they read books, and there is only one kind of dead brain when they encounter this situation. It is rare for Bao Juren to have such insight, Ye Xingyuan listened attentively, and wanted to hear what he had to say.

Ye Xingyuan also has several risky strategies at home, but none of them are foolproof, the so-called stones of other mountains can attack jade, of course he has to listen to other people's strategies with an open mind.

The rest of the people also asked curiously: "Brother Bao doesn't know what to think, and to put it quickly, we are all in a hurry, so we can't do anything!"

Bao Juren pretended to be mysterious and said: "Actually, my method is not a miracle, just think about it from another aspect, the so-called generosity is easy to die, and it is not simple to die?

If you have a bit of integrity, what is it? It is better to keep your useful body for the time being, and then think about the way to turn around. ”

Someone asked in a daze: "The demon clan is coming, the jade is burning, the young son of the Jin Emperor sails overseas, and he is still tied up by the people of the East China Sea and dedicated to the demon clan, how can there be a way out?"

The demon clan's offensive this time was menaceous, it was the most fierce one in thousands of years, and it happened to be the most corrupt time of the Central Plains Dynasty, so it was like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, those who did not descend died, and slaughtered the city at every turn, and many famous families were cut off because of this. Unless you really go to sea now, it will be really difficult to avoid the disaster of war.

Bao Juren hesitated for a while, and said with a dry smile: "Although the demon clan swept the Central Plains, the casualties were not counted, but the seeds of the scholars were not completely wiped out, even in the north, there were Liu Jingzong, Fang Jin and others."

Before he finished speaking, the candidates present were in an uproar, and several of them even scolded, "Shameless! Bao Fang, you dare to say such words without a father and no king? Liu Jingzong and Fang Jin are both traitors who have been infamous for 10,000 years, do you want to compare yourself with such figures?"

Shenzhou Lu Shen, the Central Plains Bandang, naturally there are people with lofty ideals, loyal ministers and filial sons should rise from time to time, but in the same way, there must be some ugly villains who appear on the stage. Liu Jingzong and Fang Jin both served as officials in the Southern Jin Dynasty, but after the invasion of the demon clan, they shamelessly surrendered to the alien race, and in turn acted as a guide, slaughtering the human race, their hands were stained with blood, and they were stared at the pillar of shame for more than a thousand years.

However, in recent years, there has indeed been a strange atmosphere in this dynasty to overturn the case for such figures. Someone also wrote an article claiming that Liu Jingzong intended to die, but finally decided to endure the humiliation and wait for the future. Although he assisted the demon clan to rule the north, he also made a lot of contributions to the anti-demon cause in his later years, so he had to be rehabilitated.

The argument used is naturally the same as that of the Baoju people, saying that it is easy to die generously, but it is really not easy to leave it for a useful body to recover the Central Plains, and it is really not easy to sacrifice the reputation in the history of the Qing Dynasty.

These statements were originally very absurd, and no one dared to believe them in history, but this dynasty has an open atmosphere, and many young people actually believe it to be true, and even take it as a guideline. And some people deliberately stand out from the crowd and sing the opposite tone to sensationalize, even Fang Jin, who has no whitewashing point at all, also began to scrub the floor.

Ye Xingyuan didn't pay much attention to these things, so he didn't care about them, but most of them wanted to study cutting-edge academics, and they didn't know if they were brainwashed successfully, or if they were pretending to be confused.

Ye Xingyuan watched coldly, only to see that about one-third of the people were indignant, and another one-third of them looked hesitant, but the remaining one-third showed a somewhat moved look.

It seems that the influence of public opinion is really not small, although in the mainstream perception, Liu Jingzong and Fang Jin are outright traitors, but among the younger generation of lifters, there are actually many people who agree with the idea of lifting people.

Sure enough, although Bao Juren was scolded, he was not embarrassed, and only smiled: "Don't worry, listen to me." We save our useful body, naturally we will not be like Liu Jingzong Fang Jin, although it is only an expedient measure to descend to the demon clan, as long as we can survive in this troubled world, we can do our best to protect the people of our clan, and save one more life.

Waiting for the future when someone raises the banner of rebellion, we will respond to the uprising, and then drive the demon clan out of the Central Plains, isn't it a credit to the Dingding?

Bao Juren has thought clearly in the past few days, the demon clan marched and swept across the Central Plains, and no general or a strong city could stop them. Of course, it's okay to die, but he is a scholar with pursuits, so he is not sure that he will be ahead in the exam. So just be ruthless, find another way, and find a reason for yourself.

Once he enters this mode of self-persuasion, then any righteousness and any saint will be left behind by him, but he will drill the horns like a madman, and always feel that he is doing the right thing.

And in the scene, many people have already had this idea, but now they are instigated by Bao Juren, and they are even more excited about Xiao Jiujiu.

Ye Xingyuan looked at this situation and knew that he had to come out to speak, otherwise people's hearts would be moved, and when the time came, all these candidates who came to save the world would turn to the side of the demon clan, which was the biggest joke.

Then Zhengse asked: "Brother Bao, let's ignore the sincerity of your trip first, just ask you." If you surrender to the demon clan, you govern the place for the demon clan, and the demon clan wants you to kill people, can you execute it?"

Bao Juren was shocked, gritted his teeth and said: "As a last resort, what if I kill one person and save thousands of people, I will bear this crime?"

He said this to himself as loud and level, looked around, and smiled proudly.

Ye Xingyuan smiled disdainfully, and asked again: "Then if it is a person from the demon clan who orders the slaughter of the city, can Brother Bao carry it out?"

"This" Bao Juren never imagined that Ye Xingyuan's question was so sharp, he opened his mouth and tongue, panicked, and didn't know how to answer for a while. It's a good excuse to kill one and save thousands, but now you want to kill tens of thousands? What else do you have to atone for your sins? )
