Retrograde for thousands of years

Chapter 499 Hearing
The second half of the hearing was about to begin, and Representative Durham sat in the hearing box, ready to complete the tasks assigned to him by certain people.

A long time ago, the magician Wang Huan wrote an article about running for governor. In it, in the tone of Miao Monk Wuhua, he told the story of his sudden whim and decision to enter politics to benefit the local people.

At the beginning of the story, Miao Monk Wuhua was a highly praised monk by everyone. At the end of the story, Miao Monk Wuhua became a villain that everyone scolded. This article was even selected into textbooks and was appreciated by countless people.

So, what is the purpose of Senator Durham coming here?

Play a clown, attack Zhou Huan in a unique way, and then label Zhou Huan.

Mark Twain said in his article on running for governor that to slander a person, you must first label him.

So, what label was given to Zhou Huan during the hearing?
Killing civilians, disobeying orders, killing innocent people, being selfish...

To describe Zhou Huan as a psychotic character, let alone, there are actually many people in the empire who believe these things. After telling a lie a hundred times, some people will naturally believe it.

Of course this time is not enough, but if you have a start, it will be easier to operate in the future.

……

The second half of the hearing was in progress, and Zhou Huan's defense was completed. Shangguan Xiaoxian saw a hint of disappointment on his uncle's face.

Also, if this kind of thing happened 30 or 20 years ago, the empire would directly reward the uncle with the highest honor, instead of now, there are a few clowns appearing at the hearing, jumping around to attract eyeballs, it is really slippery The most ridiculous thing in the world.

Hahaha, hahaha!
Shangguan Xiaoxian really wanted to laugh. While laughing, he set off fireworks for those people, letting his uncle see what the empire he had worked so hard for had become like!
The people are stupid. You can say this a hundred times. With so many bloody examples in front of you, what does uncle expect from the hearing?
Simple and lovely uncle, you have been taken care of by Aunt Lei to the point of being confused—Of course Bai Feifei would not tell her sister the story about Uncle Zhou being a big devil. Shangguan Xiaoxian was obsessed with mysophobia, which gave Shangguan Xiaoxian the illusion that Zhou Huan was really that kind of worldly master.

Of course, the people of the empire also viewed Zhou Huan in the same way. They felt that Zhou Huan was like a senior person, with extremely high moral standards but aloof, and even a little incompetent in common affairs.

"I really didn't expect that the country built by our predecessors would be ruined by these people. Alas, speaking of it, our predecessors did not live up to expectations. They knew that some things would happen..."

Shangguan Xiaoxian sighed leisurely without blushing at all - she was also a member of the wall demolition party. If Zhou Huan hadn't used money to change her position, she would have worked hard to poach the country.

Whether it was Bai Feifei's ghost organization or something organized by Shangguan Xiaoxian, Zhou Huan felt that he had gone astray.

"It doesn't matter to the seniors, they have already done a good job."

Zhou Huan defended himself contemptuously.

"I'm not talking about the magician Wang Huan. He did a great job. It's mainly those women who harmed the magician Wang Huan. Otherwise, the kingdom of heaven on earth would have been successfully established."

Shangguan Xiaoxian couldn't help but remember that when she was a child, she found The Republic written by the magician Wang Huan on Uncle Zhou's bookshelf, and then discussed the details with Uncle Zhou. As a result, she was surprised to find that Uncle Zhou knew that book by heart. I can explain it clearly down to that chapter, but unfortunately Aunt Lei didn't like the book, said it was unrealistic, and threw the book directly into the stove. "Alas, your requirements for historical figures are too high."

Zhou Huan sighed. People outside saw that he had great glory, but in reality?
After Chen Yunying went to the West under a pseudonym, her contacts in Middle-earth were exhausted over the decades. In addition, she did not run a business, so when King Arthur implemented the New Deal in the West, she found it difficult to attack the Eastern Royal Court. .

So what if you are my aunt or aunt?So what if you are my grandma or great-grandmother?You have the guts to say you are Chen Yunying, but we don’t recognize you anyway!
Regardless of how amiable the rulers are on weekdays, infringing on their fundamental interests is another matter entirely. Although everyone later used various methods, including persuasion, assassination, threats, trade, alliances, etc., to reluctantly let the Eastern Royal Court and the Holy The Alliance keeps up the same pace, with enough blood, betrayal and even war to fill a book.

But even so, the Eastern Royal Court retained too many old forces, which led to many things that happened later.

Before the west of the earth entered the era of capitalism, it experienced hundreds of years of dark Middle Ages. Countless people were burned to death in wars, and then the Black Death, which killed half of the population and weakened the power of religion. Then came 30 years of religious wars and continuous conflicts. Wars, many countries even killed two-thirds of the population, and then there were various wars, and the wars after wars exhausted the aristocratic class like a millstone, and only then did the great development later...

To destroy an old era requires not only determination and strength, but also time and price. And Zhou Huan and the others are dragging the era forward. In 120 years, can they ask for more?
The theory Zhou Huan put forward was correct, the result he said was correct, and the solution he proposed was correct, but... Zhou Huan also knew that they had done their best.

It's like telling a primary school student now that he will study hard from today on, make progress every day, don't play games, don't pick up girls, work hard 996, and guarantee to achieve financial freedom before the age of 35, and then... well, the system didn't train Zhou Huan well back then. How can they drag the times forward?
It has taken 120 years to reach a point that would have taken thousands of years to reach in other worlds. Naturally, there will be many problems.

"Well, Uncle Zhou, you also know not to criticize those seniors harshly. Why do you, Uncle Zhou, blame yourself so harshly?"

Shangguan Xiaoxian smiled and leaned against Zhou Huan, using Zhou Huan's words to defend him.

"What am I criticizing for?"

Zhou Huan was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that Shangguan Xiaoxian was afraid that he would be hit, so he persuaded him like this.

"It's okay, everything is fine with me, I'm just a little melancholy."

"Colonel Zhou, do you have anything else to say?"

The hearing has reached the final stage, and all the performances that should be performed have been performed. Zhou Huan nodded and asked someone to bring over a briefcase.

"The people who attacked me that day, after I caught them, told me that their real purpose was to take advantage of this economic crisis to make money by shorting the empire's stock and financial markets. This is the evidence they provided."

The announcement of these documents was like a cigarette butt thrown into a gasoline barrel, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became hot.

Zhou Huan only said that he raided them and killed them, but did not mention catching them to extract confessions. Even the mastermind behind the scenes thought they were safe, but no one could have imagined that Zhou Huan would expose them at this time!

　I've been a bit stuck these days and my writing isn't very smooth. Please forgive me.
