My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.
Chapter 830: Don't be in a hurry to rebel, come and eat melons first! I let you fool the people
Chapter 830: Don't be in a hurry to rebel, come and eat melons first! I let you fool the people, but you fooled yourself too!
Restoring the country is the common wish of all the survivors of a fallen nation!
It was also for the purpose of reviving their homeland that these people came together.
However, regarding Zhu Chang's idea, Song Ya shook his head and said, "Song still does not believe that the King of Qi has the ability to help you and me restore our country."
"In Song's opinion, the King of Qi can't even protect himself! If you and I surrender to Qi, Qi may even hand you and me over to the King of Qin for punishment!"
"Submitting to Qi is just a slogan to give the common people some confidence."
"Song has always believed that relying on other countries is not as good as being self-reliant!"
"When the situation is settled, if Brother Zhu still does not change his mind, you can bring the eight cities to Qi."
"The remaining territory should be the foundation for the restoration of Song, Shu, Lu and other countries!"
Zhu Chang asked sincerely, "Brother Song, why do you have so many prejudices against the King of Qi?"
"King Qi, you are a true gentleman!"
"Moreover, Qi was once conquered by all the other countries because it wanted to unify the world. Qi will definitely not have the same delusion as Qin. It will be more friendly to the people of our fallen country."
"If there is only one king in the world who has the ambition to save or destroy a country, and to continue the lost generations, it must be the King of Qi!"
"Qin is now powerful, you and I should temporarily seek shelter in Qi, this is the long-term plan!"
The survivors of the fallen nation have already made a series of arrangements, and they are just waiting for today's turmoil to ignite the fuse, and the subsequent package plan will be rolled out immediately!
However, just when Song Ya and Zhu Chang thought the situation was going well and began to discuss the distribution of benefits after the success, a less confident voice suddenly sounded: "I don't want to celebrate the La Festival on October 1st either."
"Of course, Chang'an Jun also offered sacrifices to heaven and earth on October 1st!"
"Chang'an Jun has already offered sacrifices to heaven and earth on October 1st, so how could it be wrong?"
This one sentence suddenly quieted down the crowd that was about to attack the law officer.
Zou County was one of the sources of soldiers for Judu.
Therefore, most of the able-bodied men in Zou County participated in the defense of Judu, and then followed Ying Chengjiao to attack and destroy the State of Chu.
A few able-bodied men from Zou County even participated in last year's battle to destroy Zhao, and once again followed Ying Chengjiao into the battle.
Several young men could not help but speak up: "I saw with my own eyes that Lord Chang'an ordered the earth dragon to turn over, and then Handan City soared into the sky! The one who can command the gods of heaven and earth must at least be a minister of the gods! Lord Chang'an, who is a minister of the gods, doesn't he know how to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth better than you and me? Lord Chang'an's sacrificial method must be more pleasing to heaven and earth than ours!"
"Yes! I don't want to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth during the autumn harvest. However, how can heaven and earth care whether we want to offer sacrifices during the autumn harvest? We offer sacrifices to heaven and earth and ghosts and gods to pray for good weather and good harvests every year. Naturally, we should give priority to the wishes of heaven and earth!"
"Perhaps the reason why Zou County has suffered so many disasters in recent years, while Qin State has become more prosperous, is because Qin State holds a sacrifice ceremony on October 1st!"
"Then those who still have to offer sacrifices on November 1st are not the sinners of our Zoucheng?!"
Almost all the young and strong men who had followed Ying Chengjiao into battle could not help but nod in agreement.
They had seen too many supernatural powers under Ying Chengjiao's command, so even if Ying Chengjiao told them in person that Ying Chengjiao had no connection with ghosts and gods and was not favored by heaven and earth, they would not believe it at all!
Ying Chengjiao went to the La Festival with Ying Zheng on October 1st, so it must be because October 1st is the right day for the La Festival!
For the vast majority of the people at the bottom of society, interests that are related to life and death, hunger and satiety are obviously more important than the customs that have lasted for more than 400 years.
When the Confucian scholar saw the atmosphere begin to change, he immediately went up to the heights and shouted again: "Chang'an Jun is just a great witch, but the Emperor of Zhou is the Son of Heaven!"
"How can Lord Chang'an understand the will of heaven and earth better than the Emperor of Zhou?"
"Moreover, the King of Qin has harsh laws, is cruel and merciless, uses military force recklessly, and abuses the people's power. He is definitely not a wise or benevolent ruler, and has made the people of Zou County suffer terribly!"
"It would be better to rebel against him, and let us join Qi and live a good life!"
Dozens of hangers-on immediately followed suit and made a commotion.
"That's right! The prosperity of Qin is built on our flesh and blood! What does the prosperity of Qin have to do with us?! Instead, it makes our lives even more difficult!"
"The King of Qin is unkind and unworthy of following! We might as well follow the example of the people of Shangdang and surrender to Qi!"
"We just want to live a good life! What have we done wrong?"
More than 20 people cooperated with each other and quickly disrupted the previous topic, directing everyone's attention to the brutality of the Qin Dynasty and Ying Zheng.
However, the unconfident voice from before sounded again: "Yes!"
"The king is so filial!"
As the hometown of Mencius, a former vassal state of Lu and the former site of Qi, Mencius' Confucian thought was particularly prosperous here, and powerful people such as Zhu Chang also spared no effort to promote filial piety among the people.
So much so that even the illiterate people of Zoucheng highly respected the rituals of loyalty and filial piety, and the annual ancestor worship ceremony in Zoucheng was even more grand than the ceremony of worshiping gods!
Even if he is a murderer or a scoundrel, as long as he is filial to his parents, he can get some praise from others, and others may even think that he must have his own difficulties.
The word "filial piety" is truly too destructive to the people of Zoucheng!
As the crowd looked at each other, several voices appeared one after another.
"Yes, I heard that the Queen Mother was extremely tyrannical and cruel. She developed many tortures and even started a rebellion to kill the King. The King had to imprison the Queen Mother for five years because he could not bear the pain of missing her. Not long ago, the King not only welcomed the Queen Mother back, but also let her participate in the sacrifice!"
"I'm telling you the truth. If my mother was as cruel as the Queen Mother, I wouldn't feel any filial piety. I'm a well-known filial son in the area! I have nothing but admiration for the King. The King is much more filial than I am! I don't believe that such a filial son like the King would be cruel and inhumane. The King must have his own reasons!"
"He can be extra filial to such a tyrannical queen mother. How can such a king not be a benevolent monarch? On the contrary, I have never heard of the reputation of the King of Qi for being filial!"
"Hiss~ I've heard that rumor too. Is it true?"
"Of course it's true! It's just that the court is reluctant to say it out loud for the sake of the respected one. I'm telling you..."
The anger and brutality that hung over the crowd gradually dissipated.
Although the court forced them to hold the La Festival on October 1st.
But Chang'an Jun approved it, which means that the La Festival on October 1st can be favored by the gods of heaven and earth. Although the Qin Dynasty has strict laws and the king has many faults.
But the king is very filial!
So the king must have his own reasons!
The education they received since childhood made the originally angry people quickly find various reasons to blame Ying Zheng, the "filial son".
The signs of unrest quietly died down, replaced by gossip.
Almost all the people in Guizhou looked at the people who had just spoken with curiosity.
There's no rush to rebel.
Tell us what the Queen Mother did and how the King showed filial piety to her?
Inside the carriage, Song Ya slowly straightened his back and looked at the crowd with a look of shock and helplessness: "The turmoil, will it stop?!"
No matter it is war or rebellion, what matters is the initial strength, the second will weaken, and the third will be exhausted.
Once the passion subsides, it's time for intelligence to take over.
The common people will no longer be carried away by passion and rush into the county government office, but will calm down and weigh the pros and cons, then give up rebellion and continue to live in disgrace!
Song Ya could see that those Confucian scholars and their hangers-on were still trying hard to stir up trouble.
But Song Ya also understood that this riot could already be declared a failure!
Zhu Chang listened to the noise and sharing in the crowd and sighed: "After the Queen Mother did such a bad thing, the King of Qin can still be so filial to the Queen Mother!"
"I have misjudged the King of Qin. I never thought that he is such a filial and kind person!"
"If there is a man who is good at speaking and eloquent, he can go to Qin and persuade the King of Qin to stop his intention to overthrow the world!"
This sentence caused a greater shock to Song Ya than the unrest quietly subsiding!
Song Ya was so shocked that she stood up immediately!
"Oh!"
Song Ya hit his head on the board, but he ignored the pain and looked at Zhu Chang with disbelief in his eyes: "Brother Zhu, do you also think that the King of Qin is a filial son and a kind person?"
"You even thought that you could persuade the King of Qin to stop his ambition to overthrow the world?!"
Zhu Chang looked at Song Ya sincerely and said, "Mencius said: To love one's relatives is benevolence. To respect the elders is righteousness."
"The King of Qin is close to the Queen Mother and respects the Queen Mother Huayang, which shows that the King of Qin is kind and righteous."
"A righteous person will naturally accept good advice!"
"Mencius said: The foundation of the world is the state, and the foundation of the state is the family."
"King Qin..."
Before Zhu Chang could finish, Song Ya waved his hand rudely: "Stop talking!"
"Brother Zhu, do you believe what he said?!"
Zhu Chang looked at Song Ya in confusion and asked, "This is the truth of the world, why don't you believe it?"
Song Ya was completely speechless.
This is a fucking method of controlling the people!
It is your tool to manage the people!
How come you end up letting this tool manage you as well? !
Song Ya took a deep breath, gave up the idea of having a deep conversation with Zhu Chang, and said in a deep voice: "The La Festival has only just ended for a month."
"You and I have only heard about the details of the Xianyang La Festival, but we have never found out the details."
"How did those common people know the details of the Xianyang La Festival?!"
Fortunately, Zhu Chang was only deeply influenced by Meng's Confucianism, and his IQ was not a problem. His face changed immediately: "Those people are the candidates of Qin!"
Song Ya nodded slowly, his voice becoming more serious: "I'm afraid you and I have been targeted by the Qin State."
"And this turmoil is enough for the Qin State to sentence you and me to death!"
"Brother Zhu, we can't delay any longer."
"You and I must escape from this place as soon as possible!"
Zhu Chang opened the carriage curtain without hesitation and ordered in a low voice: "Get out of the city quickly!"
The driver whipped the horse-drawn carriage and it galloped towards the south gate of Zoucheng.
The person guarding the city gate is Zhu Chang's cousin. Even if there is a riot, Zhu Chang believes that he can escape!
However, what Zhu Chang didn't know was that although his cousin was at the South Gate at the moment, he could only bow and accompany him.
In front of this person, the Great Qin Marquis Zhuang Jia sat in the city gate tower, looking at the turmoil that had been quelled and the crowds of people gathered in twos and threes to eat melons, frowning slightly, with a puzzled look: "Is this the end?"
Zhuang personally took charge of the command and sent out dozens of soldiers to weave cages, while three thousand soldiers were on standby for battle twenty miles away.
As a result, this is it?
