My players are all actors

Chapter 28 Coercion and temptation!
What He Xueyi said actually meant a bit of a personal attack. The first is to directly attack Yang Yan’s motives, saying that this is “seeking full blame and gaining a straight name.” The second is to attack Yang Yan's qualifications, saying that his official position is low, he doesn't understand anything, and he is not worthy of giving pointers on this and that in memorials.

In fact, for He Xueyi, these two entry points are not the optimal solution.

In the best case, it would be more solid to start directly from the contents of Yang Yan’s memorabilia.

But the problem is that Yang Yan's memorials can be said to be full of quotations from classics and classics, and every word is crying blood. From the content point of view, there is no room for refutation at all.

Otherwise, there are so many scholars who have read poetry and books in the whole Wei Dynasty, and He Xueyi's own level is not low. He has already found a weakness and sentenced Yang Yan to death, and he will not come to this point.

Since the content of the memorial itself is impeccable, we can only find other angles.

If it were someone else, they would have already been questioned and had nothing to say.

And having nothing to say is also equal to the failure of customs clearance.

Chu Ge had been prepared for a long time. While speaking the planned lines, he did not forget his acting skills and expressions.

After all, his every word and every expression will be noticed by Eunuch Shi and will reach the emperor's ears.

"I, Yang Yan, are indeed humble and low-ranking, not as high-ranking and powerful as you, Mr. He. However, I have also read the books of sages and sages, and I understand the truth of 'If you eat a king's salary, you will have a minister's position'!

"Now Your Majesty is in a daze, a treacherous and a sycophant is in charge, he is extravagant and greedy, he has exhausted the wealth of the people, and the sufferings of the people's livelihood, don't you know about the sufferings of the people?

"We had tens of thousands of officials in the Wei Dynasty, all of whom were under Wang Chong's power. No one dared to say anything to His Majesty. If I didn't say anything, there would be people who would say it in the glorious history. If you dare to ask Mr. He, you can kill him today. I, Yang Yan, can I still be able to stop the mouth of the common people in the world in the future?

"I'm speaking alone, but Master He and the officials refuted it. Could it be that Lord He and the officials want His Majesty to be infamous for generations to come?"

He Xueyi's blood surged up: "You!"

It's just the word "you", but there is no more words for a long time.

Chu Ge, that is, Yang Yan's words were impassioned, and they responded well to the two questions He Xueyi had asked before.

The two points of "fishing for fame" and "low official position" are nothing more than questioning the qualifications of Yang Yanshang's memorial.

As for Chu Ge's remarks, he first clarified the legitimacy of his superiority with the saying that "you can eat the king's salary immediately, and you will have the position of a minister". Let the emperor stay infamous for thousands of years, and directly make He Xueyi speechless!

Seeing that He Xueyi was speechless, Eunuch Shi, who had been silent all this time, spoke up.

"Okay, Lord He, it's getting late, let's end today's interrogation here, and our family is going back to report to His Majesty."

He Xueyi had nothing to say, so he had to leave first.

It's just that Eunuch Shi didn't go together, but stayed behind.

He looked at Yang Yan who had been tortured to the point of being out of shape, and shook his head slightly: "Yang Yan, Yang Yan, you say that it is so easy for you to seek death, why bother to go through all the trouble and make the world uneasy.

"'Wen Shi Jian Wu Shi Zhan' is all bullshit, and scholars will only believe those words if their brains are out of their minds.

"You see, Mr. He is also a scholar, but has he ever been as pedantic as you?
"Do you know that your memorial not only made His Majesty furious and the dragon's body was in trouble, but it has also shaken the foundation of my Great Wei Dynasty. If this matter goes too far, you will not be the only one involved. ,Understand?

"If you make trouble, your relatives, friends, family and colleagues will all be implicated!"

Chu Ge was silent for a moment: "Then according to what Eunuch Shi said, what should I do?"

When Eunuch Shi saw him let go, he couldn't help showing joy: "It's very simple, you just said that what you said in the memorial is crazy, and you deliberately blamed His Majesty for the sake of gaining clarity. If you apologize yourself, His Majesty will not punish you." If you offend, you can get out of this big prison, and other people will not be implicated by you. Isn't it the best of both worlds?

"Sage and Virtue, as long as you know your way back, His Majesty will not let such a bright pearl like you be dusted. In the future, whether it is academic research or continuing to pursue an official career, it will be a good story that has never been seen in the ages, isn't it Beautiful?"

Chu Ge still shook his head slightly.

"Eunuch Shi, please come back too."

Eunuch Shi couldn't help sighing, with an expression of "good words are hard to persuade, damn it", he stood up, and said to the two jailers, "Take him away, and try again at another day."

The two guards, one on the left and the other on the right, carried Chu Ge back to the cell abruptly.

Being thrown on the rotten straw firmly like a broken sack, it took Chu Ge a long time to recover.

He knew that the first stage of this dungeon was passed safely.

In fact, for players, this first stage is not too difficult.There are no more pitfalls except that you may not be able to answer because you are not clear-headed at the beginning, or you will be caught in the trap and get involved in political turmoil because of wrong answers.

As long as you strengthen your beliefs and refuse temptation, you can always get through it safely.

But what touched Chu Ge deeply was not the difficulty of the game itself, but the real history.

He is in the game now, and he knows the real history and the conditions for clearing the level very clearly.Therefore, those words that Eunuch Shi said could not have touched him in any way, and he was completely immune.

And with the blessing of the talent of steel will, the pain all over his body can also be alleviated to the greatest extent.

But none of these existed in real history.

Eunuch Shi's words can be said to be both soft and hard.

He directly threatened the people around Yang Yan, saying that his relatives, friends, family and colleagues would be implicated, and it would cause turmoil in the government and the public. I don't know how many people will be convicted because of this turmoil.

Soft, it conveys the meaning of Emperor Wei Zhao, and set out extremely attractive conditions.

As long as you bow your head and admit your mistakes, you will immediately have the fame that scholars value most, and you will be promoted step by step. Since then, your official career has been smooth sailing, leaving a good story.

And if he persisted again, what awaited him was only a dark cell and death that would come sooner or later.

Of course Chu Ge knew the outcome of this matter, and Yang Yan persisted until the end, and his name will go down in history.

But the problem is that Yang Yan at the time didn't know.

In history, there are countless ministers or officials who spoke out to the emperor, and ninety-nine percent of them died, and they died in obscurity.

In some dynasties, officials were indeed critical and overly critical, and scolded the emperor to win their names, but there was a prerequisite for that, that is, the emperor himself was relatively benevolent. People were killed.

If it is really a complete tyrant who kills people's heads, no one will dare to do it soon.

But Emperor Wei Zhao was obviously not a broad-minded emperor, and Yang Yan was indeed only one step away from death.

Under such circumstances, Yang Yan in history was able to persevere and make the only correct choice. Every time he thinks about this, Chu Ge feels admiration and incredible.

Back in the cell, the copy is still going on.

Chu Ge felt dizzy for a while, and his injured legs began to ache.

When I touched it, my rough legs were covered with abscesses.

The previous few times, Chu Ge did nothing, just fell asleep in the cell, waiting for the next interrogation.

As a result, he died in the cell before the next interrogation.

Chu Ge sighed silently, and looked at the broken bowl in the corner of the dark dungeon.

Although I know what I'm going to do, and I've done it a few times before, it still takes a lot of courage to do it again!
