I was engaged in construction in ancient times

What was the past, what is the present, only fools are willing to restore the past.

"Only by maintaining royal orthodoxy and complying with the mandate of heaven, God will bring blessings and bless our people..."

"You disobey the emperor and harm the court, and the good days will not last long."

……

A large group of people gathered around the gate of Xinyang City. Listening to Xun Bai's babbling like a river, Xun Bai was delighted and waited for the reaction of the group of people. They heard his deafening speech. , It will definitely be like a slap in the face.

However, the people of Xinyang City watched for a long time, seeing them kneeling there, talking about the country's crisis, the country's righteousness, and heaven and earth's retribution.

It would be more interesting for them to drink some tea and eat some dried persimmons.

"Mom, what are these people doing?"

"Don't look at them, they're crazy."

"Why don't the guard uncles drive them out?"

Hearing the feedback from these ignorant people, Xun Bai almost rolled his eyes in anger. As expected, what kind of officials teach what kind of people, under Duan Shubai's rule, they are all a group of ignorant and reckless people.

What he said was even worse, trying to elevate himself, saying that he saved the country and the people, scolding them for being insensitive and disregarding the safety of the country, especially the thief Duan, who is even more sinful, a sinner through the ages, and will be stigmatized forever.

"It's a man, so go north with us and drive Wangxia's rebels out of the north!"

"I am a scholar, but I made this great wish. You are powerful, but you have to shrink to a corner..."

What Xun Bai was talking about was foam flying all over the place, he wanted to drink water, but he knelt here and couldn't move. A group of them knelt here and continued to make a scene, but there was no one on their side.

The crowd made way for a path, and several people walked forward with baskets. Xun Bai spoke again, and a rotten egg exploded just in front of his mouth. The rotten egg liquid splashed all over his face. There are rotten vegetables and leaves, rotten pig food and livestock manure.

Xun Bai and others were cursing at the gate of the city, which also aroused the dissatisfaction of many people in Xinyang City. General Duan who dared to scold them was really out of his mind. Before General Duan came, what kind of life did they live in Yangzhou?

Bandits are rampant, corrupt officials are in trouble, and the people are in dire straits... When General Duan came to arrest Qin Haizhu and paraded them through the streets, they hated their teeth, but they were so poor that they couldn't afford to throw away rotten eggs and rotten vegetables—if there were rotten eggs and rotten vegetables, People who are extremely hungry can't wait to eat their own stomachs.

What did the court do for them at that time?

Now they live well, have something to eat and clothes to wear.There is General Duan here, there is no heavy tax for exploitation, no need to pay huge taxes, no villains run rampant in the village, the city management is orderly, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

They would rather General Duan rule here, and they would rather not return to the rule of the imperial court.

Xun Bai knelt at the front, and was hit by a few rotten eggs on his face. After wiping off the stuff on his face, his whole body was smelly, exuding a stench that made people vomit.

He pointed at the group of people who dared to smash his rotten eggs, his whole body trembled, his voice trembled, and he cursed completely: "You bunch of illiterate fools, Duan Shubai's lackeys."

"You are well-dressed, but you don't know the suffering of the people in the north."

"You molasses-bugs."

"You guys stink even worse than this rotten egg!!!"

"Duan dog thief, you will be punished."

Someone from the crowd came out and said, "A few years ago when we got plague and the whole village was about to die, where was the imperial court?"

"Several generations of emperors were greedy for pleasure, and all things were decided by the eunuchs, who sold officials to sell nobles, oppressed the people, and indulged the eunuchs... Such a court is exhausted and should have been overthrown long ago."

"The people in the north are suffering, and that's not the fault of the imperial court. There is no reason for what you said. It is under the rule of the imperial court that the common people are in dire straits, but you want us to maintain the imperial court's rule. Isn't that a joke?"

"According to the destiny? The emperor who obeys the eunuch's teaching is not the destiny. Only the one that can make us live a good life is the destiny."

Xun Bai yelled: "You guys can actually say outrageous and outrageous words to overthrow the imperial court in broad daylight. You can be punished! You can be punished!!"

"You haven't read any books of sages, you foolish people who don't know how to speak, are really stupid."

"What's the difference between you illiterate people and animals."

The incident that happened here finally attracted the guards of Xinyang City. The leading guard came over and said softly: "Beasts know warmth and heat, let alone humans. The common people are not stupid. Whoever treats them well will naturally be in their hearts." Remember."

The crowd booed and said, "That's right, you are illiterate. Don't think that you are the only one who has read books and can speak the truth. We also went to school to be able to read."

"If you call people stupid at every turn, you are the one who is stupid in reading."

"You said that we don't know the sufferings of the people. Have you ever eaten bark or gnawed mud? Do you know the feeling of being extremely hungry?"

……

Surrounded by the citizens of Xinyang City, this group of kneeling scholars was still taken away, but the reason for taking them away was none other than that it would damage the appearance of the city.

This group of people got their wish and were captured by Duan Shubai's people, but they were not happy at all, because their uprightness was smashed by a group of people with rotten eggs. Come to announce the world, but now they are smashed with rotten eggs by the people in their mouths. If such a thing spreads, where will they put their faces.

"How could they hit us with rotten eggs, making us commit a heinous crime, obviously they..."

Xun Bai scolded: "This is a bunch of beasts, they don't respect etiquette, they don't respect the Holy One."

"They are by no means ordinary people, they are Duan Shubai's accomplices, all of them are traitors!!"

"Traitor—"

A basin of water was poured down, and Xun Bai was thoroughly cooled. In winter, with a basin of cold water, his clothes were drenched and his hair stuck to his body. The cold wind blew past and it was icy cold, and he couldn't help shivering.

After trembling and beating, Xun Bai was even more excited, and shouted: "You persecuted Zhongliang, you will get retribution sooner or later!!!"

"No matter how much you torture us, it won't make us rebel against the imperial court."

"You kill scholars indiscriminately, and when the people of the world know Duan Shubai's evil deeds, I want you minions to follow him in his legacy."

The leading guard, Yu Zhou, smiled lightly, waved his hands, covered his nose, and asked someone to pour another basin of water on these dirt-covered righteous scholars, "Don't get me wrong, we are not trying to persecute you, see clearly Come on, we're giving you a bath, and we're on our way."

Xun Bai scolded, "Which way are you going?"

"Even if it is Huangquan Road, we are not afraid!" He looked desperate.

"Don't try to buy us."

Yu Zhou smiled and shook his head, "We don't dare to send you to Huangquan Road. All the scholars are dedicated to the king. The general was deeply moved and decided to send us to personally send you to Rongzhou to serve the emperor and the emperor."

"what??"

Xun Bai was flustered, they were in Xuanzhou, they didn't have to worry about farming and mulberry, and they didn't have to go to work, they just read sage books, made friends, and enjoyed the joy of being full of books and giving advice, although they were encouraged by others, I came here to make a fuss for the sake of history.

But everything went unsatisfactory, the people didn't listen to them, and they were smashed all over. This kind of thankless thing, their reputation will be ruined after it gets out.

They came to make trouble to gain a good reputation for themselves, but the matter of reputation has not yet been settled, they came to ask General Duan to go to the North to serve the Holy Majesty, but why are they the ones being sent to Rongzhou now? ? ?

Is it true that these powerless scholars are going to fight against the fierce generals in the north?Wouldn't that be hitting a rock with an egg?

However, what happened now, Xun Bai and others had no choice but to bite the bullet.

"Go, go, we are not afraid of shrouded horse leather."

Yu Zhou took people to wash them clean, put them in rough clothes, and gave them a bowl of carrot soup. Many people in the crowd were dissatisfied, "Why is there no meat??"

"We want to eat meat, how can a little radish fill our stomachs."

Yu Zhou ignored them, these people kept saying that they understood the sufferings of the people, but they couldn't even drink a mouthful of carrot soup. He closed his eyes and asked them to be escorted to the carriage. There was another person waiting for them in the carriage. It is Zong Zhonghai.

Zong Zhonghai was overjoyed when he saw Xun Bai: "Brother Xun, let's go to Rongzhou to serve the court together, and that thief Duan Shubai has done a good job!"

"We scholars are also seven-foot men. If you don't believe it, you can't drive Wangxia people out of the capital."

Xun Bai looked at him like a fool.

He's used to seeing the wind and moon, his eyes are poisonous, the person in front of him is nostalgic for the wind and moon scene, he only shows off his prestige on famous actresses, he went to the north, and he was cut like a watermelon.

Crossing the river to Xuanzhou, the wheels went all the way north, and their team added many scholars who wanted to serve the country, and they also talked about supporting orthodoxy.

Xun Bai and his group were the first to be arrested, but they didn't have the same enthusiasm as before. Yu Zhou didn't starve them, but let them eat dried sweet potatoes all the way. Three meals a day were boiled dried sweet potatoes. If they were hungry, they ate dried sweet potatoes. , tube full.

Xun Bai and the others had already eaten sweet potatoes.

What made them even more unbearable was that on the way they went north, there were many [-]-foot-tall men from the north going south to Yangzhou. Some of these big men were former soldiers from the north.

That's right, it's just admiration. Although Duan Shubai's reputation was completely ruined by Rongzhou Nie Kun in the circle of scholars, his reputation in the circle of warriors became more and more resounding.

Although the things he did in the south did not conform to the Dao of benevolence and righteousness, he did things with ease. The people of Yangzhou had no worries about food and clothing, and were peaceful and stable. He governed the four states like a peaceful and prosperous age far away from the hustle and bustle, and the people of the four states obeyed him. , what can they outsiders say?

The ruling of the imperial court is corrupt, and only those who are blind or have no conscience can say a few good things about the imperial court.

These northerners have been persecuted even more by the imperial court and the eunuch party, and they have long been dissatisfied with the imperial court. Although they feel that Duan Shubai's letter is a lie, after reading it, they think of the distraught look of the disastrous king. One voice: "Have fun."

Blame it on yourself!

This imperial court is exhausted, you and I can go our separate ways.

The old department of Duan Shubai in the north fled southward to Xiayangzhou on a large scale.
