Chapter 375 Change of thoughts
And Chen Qiang has been staying at the city gate for a day or two.
Except for the time he went to the toilet, he appeared in front of everyone.
In just a few days, he seemed to have become much haggard.
According to the instructions of the soldiers guarding the gate, some people from Bai Kingdom ran here secretly, hoping to see their emperor.
Xi Yu sighed. Even if someone was in trouble, there were always people who were friendly with them.
Zhou Yu and the soldiers threw the old man heavily to the ground.
Because Chen Qiang is here, this place has become a tourist destination.
Zhou Yu asked, "Look at it, are you familiar with this old man?"
Many people came over.
"Hey, this old man is indeed very familiar with him. He seems to have seen him somewhere."
A young man murmured.
And there was also Bai Yuan among the crowd.
Bai Yuan said, "I remember that he was the lobbying Taoist priest who was on that day. He was talking nonsense, and everyone went to wrongly accuse the Mother of the Mother."
As soon as he said this, everyone would have the seal and they would have the impression.
"Yes, so I remembered it too. It was indeed this beast, and I almost fell for him."
He must have conspired with the poisoned one.
Many people pointed at the old man and kept insulting him.
Xi Yu happened to come, and when he heard these sounds, he felt both relieved and sad.
It's indeed this old guy.
Zhou Yu asked the soldiers guarding the gate to come with a whip, and immediately took it with a whip.
Zhou Yu started beating the old man directly.
"A bastard, dare to pretend to be a god."
The old man shouted loudly: "It's unfair, unfair."
He never expected that he would make a mistake after drinking and would actually attract the attention of others.
Someone once told him not to drink randomly, but he never listened, but something happened today.
"Mr. Xi, you shouldn't be so useless to me. I've never done anything like this before."
Zhou Yu's whip hit again.
"Damn it, everyone has seen it very clearly. Have you said you haven't done such a thing?"
After being beaten several times, the old man was already cracked in his skin.
There was no choice but to admit that he was indeed a fake Taoist priest.
All of this was done by Mao Dacheng himself.
And at the same time, some people were found to pretend to be little Taoist priests.
It turns out that my family is very poor.
In the past, Mao Dacheng knew about this, so he specially found someone to bring him to his side and asked him to do something. At the same time, it gave him a lot of benefits.
But himself, he has no principle, and he will do it as long as he has benefits.
It was precisely because Mao Dacheng saw this that he dressed up as a Taoist priest, and he was here to confuse the public.
Zhou Yu's face turned pale and he whipped him again.
"You are simply worse than beasts, you actually harm your own compatriots."
Many people started to talk about Mao Dacheng.
It turns out that this matter is indeed related to him.
Some people cried on the spot for those who died in the well water incident.
"My family, you died so miserably."
"Mao Dacheng used to say that he loved the people so much, but he personally harmed his own people."
Someone asked Xi Yu to find Mao Dacheng quickly.
Xi Yu immediately comforted these people.
Don't worry, I'll find this beast sooner or later.
But when Zhou Yu raised this question, he was a little unhappy.
If it weren't for my carelessness, how could these things happen?
So, he felt very ashamed.
The old man quickly said, "Let me let myself go." He is not bad in essence.
Many people picked up some stones and started to hit him, and some even spit at him.
It's so disgusting to say this.
And Xi Yu did not interfere, obviously accusing this.
After a while, Xi Yu asked the old man to tell all the people who pretended to be little Taoist priests.
The old man was completely convinced at this time, and he said he was willing to say it.
He immediately said a few people, and Zhou Yu asked the soldiers to find a piece of paper to write them down.
According to the previous conclusion, there were about five people pretending to be a little Taoist priest, which was basically the same as what the old Taoist priest said.
Zhou Yu sent someone to catch a few people at the command of Xi Yu.
I hope Zhou Yu will lead everyone in person this time, but there must be no more moths, otherwise it will be dealt with directly by military law.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xi, my subordinates will complete the task successfully."
At this moment, several grain transport teams arrived at the city gate, sent by some princes from the Central Plains.
Xi Yu began to ask everyone to distribute food.
Many people have temporarily been freed from the haze of pain.
Chen Qiang's eyes were particularly hollow.
Xi Yu looked at him and said, "One of you and Mao Dacheng are rich in the country, and the other do things that are worse than animals in order to get more territory. People like you will not end up in the end. They originally planned to seize Mao Dacheng and let you die, but this will make you live for several more hours. Now I have changed my mind."
Xi Yu ordered the soldiers to kill Mao Dacheng.
And Xi Yu said: "I chose a way to die for you, just burn it with fire, so that you can reduce your pain."
Chen Qiang was startled and peed his pants again.
Being burned to death, or is it said that the pain is less?
What does this mean?
The soldiers immediately started to operate this matter.
Chen Qiang was eventually burned to death, and many people applauded.
And among the crowd, there were actually several Bai people. When they saw this scene, they were in great pain and rushed directly to the flame.
They claimed to die with their emperor, and many soldiers were going to pull them.
But they seemed to have infinite strength and had to burn it to death.
Xi Yu got angry and said to the soldiers: "Don't pull them anymore. Since they have to choose this path, let's help them."
He didn't feel sympathy with these ordinary people, but he also knew that these ordinary people seemed to be obsessed with it, and it was difficult to do ideological work for them.
Their stupid mentality really makes them feel heartbroken.
In the end, those who were willing to die died.
Xi Yu temporarily returned to the palace, locked himself in a room and began to think.
Through this incident, he felt that many ancient ideas of loyalty and patriotism were completely wrong.
He must use the wisdom of his previous life to shine here.
He also understood that human thoughts cannot be transformed in a day or two.
There was a long process in between.
Moreover, there will be bloodshed and sacrifice.
Some things that are too hasty may backfire.
But no matter what, he still wants to try it.
Yes, he must promote his ideas nationwide.
Maybe I will become an emperor in the future.
If he made the people particularly civilized, even the emperor would become a decoration, but he would still do so.
He also thought that in ancient society, many emperors understood, but used various theories to deceive the people, making them willingly be their own loyalists.
Therefore, this situation must be changed.
He shouted loudly: "Come, please serve me."
Soon, a little eunuch brought me a pen and ink.
"Okay, close my door, and no one can come in without my permission."
The little eunuch did this immediately and guarded the door.
Although Xi Yu did not proclaim himself emperor here, these little eunuchs treated him as an emperor in their hearts just like they used to treat Mao Dacheng.
He wrote an article in a scattered manner, calling the defeat of Dong Zhongshu.
Because since Emperor Wu of Han, Dong Zhongshu dismissed all schools of thought and respected Confucianism.
But he did not really want to respect Confucianism, but used this idea to confuse the people.
So now I have to change this situation.
The theories of various schools of thought can be widely and freely selected.
And the next step is that he has opened a college and a school, and he has to do so.
In addition, the idea of loyalty to the emperor is undesirable. No one should be willing to obey a person, but must have benefits.
In other words, whether it is this king or the boss of a business, it must bring benefits to his subordinates.
There is nothing wrong with individuals pursuing their own interests.
Xi Yu also knew that these remarks would probably cause a revolutionary storm, and it might even take a long time to accept them.
Some people will insult themselves because of this, not only the officials, but even some ordinary people will insult them.
Just like the Bai people who insist on dying today.
When he finished writing this idea in a slew manner, he then asked the eunuch to ask a few printers to spread it throughout Fangjun and the entire Central Plains in a short period of time.
Try to let all the people know about their remarks.
And facts have proved that these remarks did cause a revolutionary storm.
Perhaps it will only cause some trouble in the hearts of the people and finally calm down, so the next step is to vigorously popularize this knowledge in the school.
A few days later, Wenxuan in Youzhou got this manuscript and felt his blood boiling.
Xiao Cui didn't understand why the lady was so happy.
Wenxuan explained to her.
But Xiao Cui felt that these remarks were too shocking, and this was a traitor.
"Xiao Cui, what do you know? You will reach this point sooner or later."
Of course, all this is a story later.
After Xi Yu finished writing the book and ordered the eunuch to finish it, Zhou Yu immediately came to report that it was a few young men pretending to be little Taoist priests who had also found it.
They are unemployed people themselves and idle. But they usually live in poor rural areas, so when they come to the city to speak, no one knows them at all.
"Okay, Chen Qiang has been burned to death. Let these young men and the old man die together."
Xi Yu didn't want to give them any chance to beg for mercy this time because their actions were really hateful.
Xi Yu said, "Burn them to death too."
At the city gate, these poor men and the old man were going to pass through the fire.
The old man scolded loudly: "How can this be done? This movie is so beastly. I have already taken the blame and provided him with clues. How can he do this to me?"
And a few young men started to curse the old man.
"It's fine if you suffer by yourself, why do you have to give up all of us?"
Zhou Yu said that if they insult Xi Yu again, they would make them feel even more uncomfortable.
When the fire arrived, several people were pushed into the fire pit.
They complained.
However, the people in the county are in a good position.
Now the people are just hoping that Mao Dacheng can be caught quickly.
Another late night has arrived.
Xi Yu felt very painful when he learned that Mao Dacheng had not appeared yet.
I don't know how to give an explanation to the people.
Mao Dacheng has been living in the wine cellar.
The health has improved in the past few days.
The man went outside and brought him some medicine.
The man's name is Di Qing.
On this day, Di Qing brought him dinner and said, "Now you are arrested everywhere in the city, and there have been reward orders. So I decided that I should send you away."
Mao Dacheng was shocked,
"Since that's the case, you send me away. Wouldn't this let me go into the fire pit?"
"The word fire pit you said is very good."
Di Qing's face was particularly cold.
“Several people have died in the fire.”
So he told all about Chen Qiang and those fake Taoist priests.
Mao Dacheng was even more scared and trembled.
Then I will definitely not have a good ending.
Di Qing said: "If I'm not mistaken, it's possible that searches from all households will start tomorrow. I will definitely find my place at that time. Wouldn't I beheaded?"
Mao Dacheng was frightened and frightened.
"Please don't take me out. Don't worry, as long as I win the country, it will definitely bring you benefits."
However, Di Qing said that he was already in danger of protecting himself, so what's the use of saying these words?
So Mao Dachengdi knelt down for him.
"I beg you, please let me go, okay?"
Di Qing was about to speak, but suddenly had an idea and said, "Since that's the case, let's talk about it later."
After a while, he walked out, but soon, he took a wooden stick and came in.
Mao Dacheng was startled and asked him what he was doing.
Di Qing shouted loudly: "You should go unconscious first."
He knocked Mao Dacheng out with just one stick.
The next morning, a secret guard appeared beside Xi Yu, saying that he had already captured Fang Zhongyuan.
The secret guard has been secretly observing Fang Zhongyuan under the instructions of Xi Yu these days.
But I haven't gotten any handle from him.
Finally, last night, Fang Zhongyuan said something about conspiring with Mao Dacheng while talking in his sleep.
The secret guards were very happy.
Finally, a conclusion can be drawn. So before dawn, they arrived.
So Xi Yu asked the secret guards to quickly bring the beast to the court.
Moreover, the secret guards knocked Fang Zhongyuan out as Xi Yu ordered.
After a while, everyone came to the morning court and saw Fang Zhongyuan lying on the ground, they felt incredible.
But some soldiers said they should not touch him, and everyone will come later.
And Xi Yu looked behind the screen again.
After a while, everyone was here.
Liu Bei already knew about this, so he asked the soldiers to wake up the other party quickly so that everyone would not be confused anymore.
Soon some soldiers began to bring cold water. Fang Zhongyuan woke up. He suddenly realized that he was in the court and was shocked.
Moreover, Xi Yu had already seen the expressions of the other four people who had conspired with him.
Fang Zhongyuan immediately stood up and saw everyone looking at him with a blank look.
He quickly asked what was going on?
Liu Bei asked coldly: "Fang Zhongyuan, say, what did you do wrong? Hurry up and explain it in detail."
Fang Zhongyuan thought, has the incident been revealed? Naturally, he would not admit it.
He then said that he was confused and wronged.
So Liu Bei asked the secret guard to come out and talk about the related matters.
Fang Zhongyuan was startled and found that he actually told the truth about the matter when he was talking in his sleep.
Liu Bei asked coldly: "Now, what else do you have to say?"
"Mr. Liu, you said it too. This is just a sleep talk. How can you count it?"
"If you weren't talking to the sleep, how could you tell the truth? Fang Zhongyuan, I hope you should explain it quickly, otherwise we can be punished."
Then, Liu Bei asked the soldiers to move out some torture instruments.
Many ministers think it is very inappropriate to move the torture instruments here.
"You don't have to tell me these things, this is the order of the Xi Gong."
When Liu Bei said this, no one dared to say anything else.
When Fang Zhongyuan saw those torture instruments, he was frightened.
Because he had seen a prisoner accepting the treatment of this torture instrument before.
He was so scared that he quickly told the truth and confessed all four companions.
The four companions were also very angry.
When people scare you, you will be all tricked. It's ridiculous.
However, Liu Bei took out a note in public, which was exactly the few related people written by the Xi Gong a few days ago.
And let the eunuch pass it on to everyone.
Everyone was very surprised. It turned out that everything was under the control of Xi Yu.
The five people immediately admitted their guilt.
Liu Bei ordered the five people to be dragged out and killed directly.
The five people began to beg for mercy, saying that they were all confused for a while, so they would let them go.
"It's ridiculous. You are not three-year-old children, and you dare to say you are confused."
In the end, all five were beheaded and made public.
Although some ministers have proposed that they should be asked to be executed in the autumn.
But Liu Bei said that this was also the order of Xi Gong.
If anyone dares to do something bad, this will end.
Many ministers felt that they had never encountered this morning court today. A smell of blood also rushed to their side.
Before his death, Fang Zhongyuan also mentioned the genius doctor Zhuge.
Because everything was given medicine by him, this happened.
Chapter completed!
