As soon as I came out of the house, the sky outside was like ink, and the wind and rain were like darkness.
Large raindrops were like beans, randomly hitting the face, shoulders, and neck, making the coir raindrops sink.
Su Ziji looked up, and his eyes were filled with hazy mist.
"Lord, let's go quickly!"
Wen Xunpeng walked through the mud and hurried along the mountain road, his tone anxious.
His face was covered with water, and he couldn't tell whether it was sweat or rain.
"Are you scared?"
Su Ziji looked in front of him.
Only a hundred or two hundred paces away, the crowd was pushing the armored soldiers.
"Come in! Beat the corrupt officials to death!"
The shouting gradually became orderly and chaotic, and even the soldiers were pushing and shoving.
"Come in!"
"Kill corrupt officials!"
"Justice!"
One after another, under the instigation of the crowd, consciously or unconsciously, the slogans became more and more uniform.
"Lord!" Wen Xunpeng said with a deep tone: "It is not a pity for me to die. Let alone these rogue people, they are just soldiers with swords and axes, so what should I fear?"
"However, I have heard that a son with a lot of money cannot sit down in the hall, let alone you, the king of ten thousand chariots, with the power of the world!"
He solemnly handed over his hands: "Lord, please leave quickly! Don't hesitate any longer! Otherwise things may change!"
"The King of Ten Thousand Vehicles..."
Su Ziji silently recited this word, with a smile on his face that seemed both insightful and sarcastic.
"Actually, Zhang Dai does his best for these little people... Some of these people have benefited from him."
"It is true that Zhang Dai is a lot of incompetent, unable to get things done, and even doing bad things. In the overall situation, it is a great harm to the people... But only we know that, the small people do not know, and the great harm has not been done after all... "
"Xiaomin has been... incited to come and chop off his head."
Although it was a bit predictable, but he clearly heard it, Wen Xunpeng suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Ziji with wide eyes.
The rain hit the grass and trees, and the cool wind and rain invaded the texture, making him shiver involuntarily.
"This this……"
For a moment, he was speechless.
I just had an inexplicable feeling, a kind of sadness and anger filling my chest.
He lowered his head and replied through gritted teeth: "My lord, the common people are despicable in nature and the most ungrateful... This has been seen many times since ancient times!"
Su Ziji frowned. Although this was Wen Xunpeng's extreme statement, it was indeed fact, history, and true knowledge.
In history, when people who have been kind to the people encountered disaster, as long as they had a choice, the people never stood up to help them.
What they like most is that "the law does not punish everyone". Just like the people in front of them, do they really think they don't understand anything?
I wonder if someone is instigating it?
But taking the opportunity to smash and kill people who bought them for zero yuan was their wish.
Then after killing them, hand over the "leader" to die for them.
This is the case in the Tomb of Five Persons, and it is also the case today.
"Master said, the virtue of a gentleman can only be cut down in five generations... But even if it is a blessing to create the world, it will be forgotten in the second generation, and he will be confident in the third generation."
"The common people never show any kindness, they only care about the immediate benefits...it's good to bully someone, but it's not good to obey them!"
"Although the small benefits are not universal and the people cannot obey, my lord has to think deeply!"
"You must not be like Zhang Dai and become a scholar of the common people."
Su Ziji suddenly turned his eyes and thought of nothing else. This "there is a way to bully someone, but there is no way to obey someone" is really thought-provoking.
There were two Han Dynasties in Qing history. After the Western Han Dynasty was destroyed, the Eastern Han Dynasty succeeded... In fact, the founding king of the Eastern Han Dynasty was called Emperor Guangwu, and it was said that he was the political leader of the feudal dynasty.
To seize the world is to seize it politically, not to seize it militarily.
He was also the most humane emperor, always trying to live up to his people, ministers, friends, and women.
But Qingshi's life records show that he was the most bullied.
Common people bully him, women bully him, old friends bully him, friends bully him, officials bully him... wherever you look, you can see them everywhere.
Why?
Because he is a righteous king, he not only pays attention to the (real) overall situation, but also pays attention to human relationships and friendship. Therefore, a gentleman deceives him in the right way, and his subjects deceive the king because of his bright benevolence.
To put it radically, only a wise and tyrannical king can be deceived by no one and no one dares to deceive him!
But this is just a villain's opinion.
Level 18 politics made him understand.
Spring is warm and flowers are blooming. Even if there is a cold spring, snow and hail, everything is moving towards spring.
Similarly, in late autumn and mid-winter, even if there is sunny weather, the sun will shine brightly, but the days will eventually wither.
The same is true for a country's strength. What determines it is a truth that cannot be explained externally, but the hearts of hundreds of millions of people are also part of it.
This is the way of kings.
Wen Xunpeng didn't know what he was thinking and bowed solemnly.
"Lord, this is how I saw you."
"Only the humble people can bully and dare to bully a king with the right principles..."
"You can deceive someone who has the right way, but don't deceive him who doesn't have the right way! From this point of view, the emperors of the past dynasties can have the right way, but they cannot just have the right way."
Su Ziji just smiled at his words.
"What you say may make some sense, but it's a pity that Gu Xian is not the King of Ten Thousand Chariots yet."
Su Ziji spoke calmly and looked into the distance.
"There is still one more level to pass."
"beat!"
In the distance, a soldier was pushed to the ground, and his sword was taken away. An unknown hand pushed the sword and stabbed it in.
The soldier looked down and suddenly fell backward.
Bright red blood, mixed with mud and water, spread all over the mountain road in an instant.
The crowd was silent for a moment.
Wu Wu, who was mixed in the crowd, also widened his eyes and looked at the handle of the knife in his hand.
Blood stains were falling along the blade.
My mind went pale.
I snatched the official knife...killed the official...I'm done...I'm done...
Even Wen Xunpeng was shocked and his lips trembled.
"Lord...this is a serious matter..."
As if a gunpowder keg had been detonated, the armored soldier's sharp blade was pointing forward.
The crowd seemed to have been poured cold water on them. Some people gradually woke up and wanted to run away.
"Hahaha, you dog officials are going to kill us all!"
"You will die if you go back! I will fight with you!"
Suddenly, a man came forward "in anger" and rushed to grab the knife. During the fight, the righteous man still shouted: "Everyone, hurry up! Don't let the corrupt officials escape!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!" Seeing this, Baihu finally became furious and slashed with a knife.
Su Zijihe looked down and saw the light of swords and blood. The soldiers no longer had any scruples and immediately killed dozens of people. However, the people behind seemed to rush forward deliberately, forcing the civilians in front to rush forward.
Kill kill kill
"Ah" the armored soldier was trampled, dozens of feet stepped on him, and there was no sympathy at all.
The remaining armored soldiers did not hesitate to kill them with all their might.
But thousands of people had to charge, and under the turbulence, it was suddenly difficult to maintain.
Seeing this, the people who were among them shouted angrily: "Commissioner Wu, if you don't come up quickly, if you retreat now, your whole family will die!"
"If you do something, the great master can still intercede for you!"
Wu Wei’s heart felt cold!
"intercede?"
Then who on earth forced me to come here?
He wanted to scream, but he didn't dare.
Why...does this happen...
Tears mixed with rain, making his vision gradually blurry.
He cried and laughed and rushed forward.
The armored soldiers, who numbered only thirty or forty, had been scattered, and blood was flying everywhere where the swords were shining.
Surrounded by a group of "righteous men", Committee Wu broke through the blockade and stumbled forward.
