Chapter 1896: The Despicableness of Yanjing's Offensive and Defensive Battle (7)
Chapter 1896: The Despicable Attack and Defense of Yanjing 7
Just as Xue Gang rushed to the palace, the message had been blown all over the city by the wind, falling from the sky like snowflakes.
With the popularization of papermaking technology these days, paper is no longer a rare item, and basically everyone knows and understands what paper is.
Under the deliberate suppression of the Qin army, the price of paper was not as expensive as it was originally, but it was still a luxury product for ordinary people. It was impossible for the people to spend money to buy paper, and they could not afford it.
When they saw paper rain falling from the sky, the people in Yanjing were shocked.
Common people have seen rain, snow, hail, arrows, and stone bullets before, but this is the first time they have seen paper rain.
This is really a long time to see!
After a brief period of astonishment, the people in the city were overjoyed, thinking that this was a gift from God, and began to collect the fallen papers vigorously.
Since money can buy paper, paper can also be sold for money.
People are not stupid. In their eyes, paper is money.
Rather than saying it is paper falling from the sky, it is better to say that it is raining money.
At first, people were grabbing the paper and didn't find anything written on the paper, but soon someone discovered the content on the paper.
Liu Bingji, who was walking on the streets of Yanjing, saw people grabbing paper, so he picked up the paper at his feet. When he saw that there were words on it, he started to chant unconsciously.
"The traitor Liu Che, for his own selfish desires, conquered Youzhou violently. There were more than two million people in the five counties, but he actually expanded the army to 180,000. He regarded the people as ants and simply lost all conscience. This is a double fault."
As he read it, Liu Bing was completely shocked. This was an article to denounce Liu Che.
At this time, Liu Bing felt that the memorandum in his hand was extremely hot, and he wanted to tear up all the memoranda in the city immediately.
A hundred meters away from Liu Bing, Xiangshi Ni Bodhisattva, disguised as a beggar, also picked up a letter. When he saw the content on it, his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Liu Che knew he couldn't do anything, but he did it. He used his humble army and mantis arms as chariots to resist hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers, so that the lives of Youzhou were devastated and countless soldiers were killed and injured. It was simply a waste of human life. This is three faults."
When he thought about it, the Clay Bodhisattva stopped and said to himself: "Su Dingfang is not simple, what a brilliant plan to kill the heart."
While the people were scrambling for the memorial, all the major families in the city also knew about the petition.
"Master, quickly, look quickly."
The housekeeper handed over the letter. After the head of the Zhang family saw it, his expression suddenly changed and he asked, "Where did this thing come from?"
"It floated over from outside the city. It's everywhere in the city."
After hearing this, the head of the Zhang family hurriedly ran out of the house. As expected, he saw the slogans floating in his hands everywhere. He couldn't help but said excitedly: "Okay, okay, Su Dingfang is indeed amazing. He deserves to be a famous general. Liu Che, let me see how you can survive."
Get through this."
"Master, why don't we add fuel to the flames and quickly spread the contents of the memorandum throughout the city?" the housekeeper said.
"this"
The head of the Zhang family was a little moved, but when he thought of Liu Che's methods, he shuddered in his heart and said calmly: "No, even if there are no aristocratic families like us to add fuel to the flames, Liu Che can't suppress the news at all. Soon the whole city will know
, there is no need to risk testing Liu Che’s bottom line.”
"clear."
The same situation is also happening in other families. After reading the statement, the heads of the major families felt secretly happy. Liu Che had pinched the Youzhou family so hard that now the Youzhou family wanted him to die immediately.
Most of the aristocratic families, like the head of the Zhang family, chose to wait and see what would happen, but there were also some families who were blinded by hatred and chose to add fuel to the flames at this critical moment and stab the process car from behind.
At the same time, Xue Gang also rushed to the palace, ready to report the matter to Liu Che, but he didn't want to wait until he saw Liu Che, Liu Che already had a letter of apology in his hand.
"My heavenly soldiers went north to Youzhou to fight against the Manchus and rescue millions of people who were in dire straits.
However, Liu Che, the traitor, blocked the road and prevented the army from moving northward. He would rather millions of Han people in Liaodong fall into the hands of the Manchus than let the heavenly soldiers save all the people from water and fire.
Liu Che, the traitorous son, whose mother died at the hands of foreigners, is now shielding foreigners and fighting against the heavenly soldiers. This is a very serious mistake.
Being ambitious and claiming the throne and disrespecting His Majesty is considered disloyal.
It is unfilial to protect foreigners and ignore mother's hatred
It is unkind to confuse the people and take human life lightly.
It is unjust to kill aristocratic families and rob people of their wealth.
Such unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust people will surely be punished by God sooner or later.
I also hope that the people of Yanjing will know their way back and will not continue to be bewitched by Liu Che and lose their lives in vain.
I, Su Lie, promise to kill the leader of the thieves and never harm the innocent."
Every time he read a sentence, Liu Che's body trembled and his face turned pale, but he still persisted in reading the entire content.
After finishing reading, Liu Che felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand. If Xue Gang hadn't supported him in time, he would have fallen down.
“It’s simply despicable and shameless to frame someone up and blame them.”
Liu Che angrily cursed Su Dingfang.
If it was an upright duel, even if he lost, Liu Che would not be so rude, but he didn't expect that Su Lie would use such despicable methods to ruin his reputation.
Liu Che has nothing left. In order to defend Yanjing, he even offended aristocratic families and destroyed the city wall. Now he only has a good reputation among the people. But once Su Dingfang's letter comes out, even the people will question his justice.
This is to knock him down from the clouds into the mortal world.
If what Su Dingfang said in his statement was true, then Liu Che would naturally have nothing to say, but all of them were distorting the facts and criticizing him.
Are you talking about his ambition to proclaim himself emperor? If Qin Hao had not threatened the emperor to command the princes, would he have been elected to proclaim himself emperor?
Are you saying that he cares about people's lives and uses his arms to block the chariot? If you, Qin Hao, don't come to attack me, will I block the chariot with the mantis' arm?
To say that he disregarded his mother's hatred and colluded with foreign races? This is even more nonsense. If he wanted to collude with the Manchus, why did he refuse to form an alliance with Nurhachi?
In short, in Liu Che's view, the contents of the appeal are basically distorting the facts, confusing right and wrong, and deliberately discrediting himself.
But it is useless for Liu Che to think so. The people must also think so. But do the people have the vision to distinguish right from wrong?
"Su Lie, you are too cruel."
Liu Che looked like he was gritting his teeth, and then said to Xue Gang: "Immediately collect and destroy all the memoranda, especially the army. The soldiers must not be made aware of the opponents above. No one in the city is allowed to keep and circulate them. Violators will be punished with treason."
"Reporting to your majesty, the general has arranged this, but if it is just a ban, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop the people in the city from talking." Xue Gang said.
Of course Liu Che knew that it was better to defend the people than to defend the river, but how to solve the current situation?
No matter how you solve it, it’s useless. This is an unsolvable problem!
