From Chief to Ball

After discussing for a while, Chen Jian asked everyone to rest, and went out to feed the horses, while he pondered about these things in Yuecheng. Why did the leader do this?

After thinking for a long time, I still didn't understand the motive.

"Could it be that I think too much about people?"

Some self-deprecating thought for a day, at noon the next day, Yuelun sent someone to invite Chen Jian.

"Ji Xia, please everyone, as the leader of Xia City, I hope you will go and decide some right and wrong together with the elders in the city."

Chapter 5 Rights

Chen Jian's heart skipped a beat. He didn't want to step into this muddy water at all, but the muddy water still found himself.

As an outsider, he is not qualified to decide what is right or wrong in the legal sense of Yueyi, but when the law and morality have not been completely separated, the leader and the old man can use morality to evaluate some things that are difficult to decide by the law. That's why the people in Yi found him.

He had a bad premonition, and the people around him asked if they wanted to go with him. Chen Jian nodded and saw a few people quietly hiding the dagger in their arms. It's someone else's chassis. If there's anything to do with it, these short swords are meaningless, so it's better to be more magnanimous.

As the guide walked to the center of the city, he found that many people had gathered there, with different clothes, complexions, fat and thin. It can basically be seen that this is not just a game of high-level power, but a game for the entire city. A large gathering in Yip.

The powerful figures and people from wealthy families who saw several months ago had already gathered there, and one person was questioning the moon wheel.

"Lun, what do you mean by this? Only when something serious happens, can a town's general meeting be held. What matters cannot be discussed in the council meeting?"

Yuelun didn't answer him directly, but turned around and shouted to everyone: "Yueyi is everyone's Yueyi! Is it just the Yueyi of people who eat meat? Are people who eat corn not qualified to discuss important matters?"

At the end of the clan with a high degree of political participation, and at the beginning of the regime when power gradually rotated among small circles, such words naturally resonated with the people in Yueyi, and they all beat the clay pots in their hands to show Support, loud applause.

Standing on the sidelines, Chen Jian watched with cold eyes, suddenly felt that this moon wheel was definitely not a good thing, it was to stir up the people to seize power, obviously he should not have an advantage in the small circle, so he mobilized the residents of Yueyi, simply Just a few words set the inside and outside of the circle of power against each other. After all, most people here eat corn instead of meat.

The faces of the few people who had previously posted against Yuelun changed slightly, and they hated even more in their hearts. They had an opposing relationship with Yuelun before, and there were unspoken rules for whoever lost and who won. I failed, so I left early.

The moon wheel completely broke this rule, and put the internal affairs of the small circle outside. This is not a simple confrontation. Circulation, but after this incident, it was all destroyed.

Chen Jian shook his head secretly, thinking that this month's round might be a desperate battle. He must have made too many enemies in the circle, so he thought of using everyone in Yueyi to break the circle. After all, it is impossible for anyone who wants to become a leader This kind of thing happens when the people of the country are allowed to discuss politics.

Although shaking his head, Chen Jian is very optimistic about the moon. Obviously, there are more people below. The most important point is: Yueyi is the same as Xiacheng and most of the cities. The army is composed of Chinese people, and the proportion is extremely high, isn't it The ratio of thousands to one in later generations is almost universal participation.

Apparently those who opposed the Moon Wheel also heard the angry cries of the people, knew how terrible the fanaticism under the anger and support was, and finally stopped opposing it.

Without waiting for those people to speak, Moon Wheel pressed his hands down. With the words just now, the people below who expressed their support actually put down the clay pots in their hands at the same time, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Those who opposed wanted to refute a few words, but Yue Lun resolutely said before they opened their mouths: "This time the leader is in a coma, and Yuemei was almost burned to death. If the leader of Xia City hadn't rescued her, I'm afraid she would have been killed by this time." Burned to ashes! Isn't this a big deal?"

"Now all the elders in the city are here, and Ji Xia, the leader said before he fell asleep, supported the Su tribe's winter hunting in Dusu, so since they are all brothers and relatives, the leader of Xiacheng is at least qualified to comment This matter is right or wrong, because only the wise and intelligent can become the leader. Although you are against Dongshou, the old leader supports it, let these old people and Ji Xia judge, everyone agrees?"

After a burst of applause, Chen Jian gritted his teeth and looked at Yuelun. He could see that these words were said to himself on purpose, meaning that Yuelun supported what he supported, at least in the case of Dongshou. consistent.

Chen Jian firmly didn't believe that all those people on the opposite side were opposed to it, but Yue Lun said this first, and took the lead again, making Chen Jian and those people on the opposite side confront each other.

Amidst the cheers, Chen Jian stood up decisively and saluted the people below: "Brothers and sisters in Yueyi, I am Ji Xia, the leader of Xia City. You have seen our horses and our bronze, We have the same hair and the same language, we are not strangers, we are all relatives.”

"Although I am the leader of Xiacheng, I can't judge whether Yueyi is right or wrong. In Xiacheng, when walking out of the city, you have to lean on the left hand side, but in Yueyi, you lean on the right side. What did you do in Yueyi? Yes, in my Xia City, I'm afraid I will be whipped by taking off my pants..."

He made a joke, and everyone below laughed, whispering about the difference in Xiacheng, but Chen Jian also used a rule that didn't exist at all to resolve the embarrassment. The people accompanying him thought: When did Xiacheng have such a rule?

After the fooling around, Chen Jian saluted again: "One more thing, outsiders cannot judge the right and wrong between brothers. What is a brother? In a family, a brother is born of the same mother; in Yueyi, the surname Yue Everyone is a brother; if there are barbarians, then the people in Xiacheng, Echeng, Sucheng and other cities on both sides of the river are brothers. This matter is only within Yueyi. This is a matter between you brothers. I How can an outsider judge? Even if your younger brother did something wrong, and an outsider rushed to your house and beat your younger brother, can you, as an older brother, still clap your hands and say that the fight was good? If so, your mother may slap you Big mouth."

After the two reasons were finished, the people below nodded in approval. Chen Jian saluted again and stepped aside, staring at the people below without taking his eyes off the eyes of the people on the stage.

Standing there, Chen Jian had already made up his mind that he would never get angry if he didn't say a word, and he would choose a camp when the situation was clear, so as to gain support during the winter hunting.

Just as he was standing like an old monk, a girl's small voice came from beside him.

"Jixia...you can keep the fire from burning me, so powerful, you can definitely save my father, right? I didn't pick the herbs that day, you...do you have a solution?"

Chen Jian glanced sideways, and found Yuemei standing aside with swollen eyes and a haggard face. It was completely different from the hopeful look when he first met. It was obvious that she had just cried not long ago, and the tears on her face were blown away by the wind. After a long time, it left roughness on the smooth skin, and the lips were pale and chapped.

It's just that those eyes became bright again after seeing Chen Jian, hoping to see Chen Jian nodding, but Chen Jian shook his head without hesitation.

Yuemei was immediately disappointed, she couldn't believe it, she felt that Chen Jian was very powerful, she would definitely have a solution, but...but even he couldn't help it?

Chen Jian thought in his heart: "Everyone standing on this stage wishes for your father to die quickly, and you alone hope that he will live. Even if I have a elixir, I will never take it out at this time."

The appraisement of shaking his head cut off Yuemei's hope, Chen Jian turned around and gave a few words of comfort, then continued to watch the performance of these people.

Every time the people on the stage expressed their opinions, the people below would applaud or boo to express their support and opposition. At this time, the moon wheel had already gained the upper hand and was forcing a person to jump and curse.

Yue Lun snorted and said, "Qing Hip, yelling and scolding is not a matter of discussion. This is the center of the city, not your home. Let me ask you, where did the people in your family go the day before yesterday? Why was it that Yuemei was burned? Are you not in the city?"

Chen Jian couldn't help laughing when he heard the name, thinking that Yuelun was deliberately insulting the other party, but the people below were used to it, and didn't have any opinion on the name, on the contrary, they were very curious about his own smile.

It took Chen Jian a long time to understand.

This is not a phenomenon caused by cheap names that are easy to support, but a naming method in this era when the vocabulary is not rich. It is the same no matter which cultural circle, a blacksmith with the surname of Smith, a clan with the surname of Tao, and a city where silkworms are proud , are all true.

Blue buttocks, it is obvious that Yuelun's opponent has a large birthmark and bruise on his buttocks, this is the easiest name for parents, it is not ridiculous, and most of Xiacheng is like this.

Even in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the previous life, the names of those who are noble may not be very good: the name of Zheng Zhuanggong who Keduan Yuyan was named Wusheng, which straightforwardly means dystocia; There is a black birthmark.

Even for the disciples of Confucius, the names may not be very pleasant: Ran You’s name is Qiu, which translates to little padded jacket; Gongxi Hua’s name is Chi, which means Xiaohong; Renyehe, was born with a commemorative name - put it as a metaphor in Chen Jian's previous life, similar to the concept of a child being named "XX Express Hotel" by his mother.

Because of this, there are later sayings that men are twenty Muguaner, women are fifteen and Jier, because the names are actually nicknames in modern people's concepts, and it is ridiculous to call them when they grow up, and it is also a kind of Great disrespect.

As for those domineering names in history, it's not because of how good their names are, but because they have created merits that make the word more meaningful.Although Jixia was vulgar, Zhou Gongdan sounded like a child named "Chenchen"; Xuanyuan also meant nothing more than a car.

It is the history they created that endowed their names with different meanings, not the names themselves; legends that have worn away the history of later generations. There are a bunch of children named Che.

From the present point of view, each clan does not have the concept of separating names from characters. Basically, the name of a city is an animal and botanical garden plus a scene of labor and production.

Because of this, Yuelun didn't cause laughter when he called the person opposite him by name, and Chen Jian's smile became out of place. The person named Qingbutt didn't understand the reason for Chen Jian's smile, but felt that there was something wrong with it.

In addition, Chen Jian was invited by Yuelun again, and when he looked at Chen Jian again, there was some hostility in his eyes. Chen Jian was filled with regret, and never thought that he would ruin a name after so long.

Glancing at Chen Jian, the man named Qinghip said loudly: "Why aren't my people in the city? Didn't the old leader wake up for a while the day before yesterday, and everyone was called into the room to explain something, and he asked me to send some people Go out and find some herbs!"

Moon Lun snorted, "Looking for herbs? When you said you were looking for herbs, you were looking for herbs? Maybe I said you went to set fire! Anyway, the old leader is now comatose, no one knows the truth of what you say! The day before yesterday Only some of your family members and slaves are not in the city!"

"You nonsense! Why did I burn Yuemei to death? I think you want to be the leader, and you are afraid that everyone will elect Yuemei, so you set fire to burn him to death! Who doesn't know that your moon is the most powerful?"

Yue Lun took a deep breath, walked up to the audience, and said calmly and slowly: "It's a good thing Yue Mei was rescued by Ji Xia the day before yesterday, otherwise he really burned to death, wouldn't everyone think I did it? If everyone thinks I did it, am I not afraid that everyone will drive me out of the city?"

The murmurs below began to grow louder, everyone was pondering over what Yuelun said, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

In addition, the people below were also shocked by this incident. They thought that the wildfire was accidental, but they didn't expect that it was a man-made fire, which was to burn the leader's daughter to death!

In the end, many people have never experienced or even imagined such a thing in their entire lives. Apart from shock, they are angry, and even more uneasy about their own safety.

Those people can treat Yuemei like this, so can't they treat themselves like this in the future?
