Chapter 478 Scandal
I still scold today, and I still scold while eating sweet potato steamed buns, and I actually treat the scolding as a dish, and chew it with relish.

Counting up to eighteen generations, he has jumped out of the category of Fei Guo, and is the father of Duke Huan and Ji You of Lu State.Jump up a few more generations, that is to carry along with Zhou Tianzi, Jinhou, Yanhou, and Luhou.

Around this time, there were two races in the world.A family of noble blood, a family of low blood, may even be regarded as two species: neither intermarriage, but also reproductive isolation.

When Kui and the others were scolding, the gate of the palace slowly opened, and Meng Sheng and the others came out of the palace.

Kui was in the front, when Meng Sheng was serving in the volunteer army, Meng Sheng also preached righteousness in the army, and he knew Meng Sheng through Kui, so he shouted loudly: "Have they agreed?"

This sentence they said is a matter of course, and it has a lot of meaning.

In terms of blood, Kui and the monarch may still have the same father for more than [-] generations.

In terms of nationality, Meng Sheng is from Chu and Kui is from Fei.

In terms of distance, Kui is in Feidu and Meng Sheng is in Pengpei.

But Kui asked "them" as a matter of course, and the frightening thing was that the people present also thought it was a matter of course to ask such a question.

Meng Sheng didn't answer, but his face was dark, and then a small officer stood up and said to the crowd: "There is nothing wrong with the ancients, and there is no evil in following the rituals. The ancient system is like this, and it cannot be changed; the respect of etiquette and law cannot be abolished."

"Since it is necessary to practice benevolent government, the monarch is going to exempt half a year of taxes. Don't make trouble, go back early!"

Xiao Sikou yelled loudly, under the protection of a few close guards, he was fulfilling his duties, and Xiao Sikou himself had the right and responsibility to ask the "national" government, and he should come forward to say this kind of thing.

If in the past, the tax was exempted for half a year, maybe the people would shout long live and think it was a benevolent government.

But before Xu Ruo and others described such a beautiful scene after the reform, everyone has been immersed in dreams these days. They originally wanted gold, but now they only get a pile of shit.

Although excrement is also very good, although it cannot be eaten, it can be composted and sold for money, but compared to gold, no matter how stupid the people are, they will know what is big profit and what is small profit.

Originally they didn't know how Italy came, but now they know.

Xiao Sikou's words immediately aroused booing, and when the people of the country were about to shout, a voice came from a distance, loudly saying: "Miao Yi!"

This voice was neither from Meng Sheng, nor from an Mohist like Xu Ruo in Fei country, but from a carriage.

A young man in Chinese clothes got off the carriage. He was dressed in Chinese clothes, with jade on his waist and a sword in his crotch. There were four guards with swords beside him. Ji Sunluan who gave his name to others.

Ji Sunluan's legs trembled slightly. When he called Miao Yi just now, his voice was already trembling.

Fortunately, the four guards around him showed their unique swordsmanship a few days ago and said they would fight to the death to protect them.

Wei Rang also said a few days ago that he bought hundreds of muskets and iron swords, and contacted the people as a backing. He also used the name of Ji Sunluan to broadcast some rhetoric in support of the people among the people. Ji Sunluan couldn't retreat.

After finishing speaking, Ji Sunluan let out a long breath, stabilized his trembling legs, and stood on the height of the carriage under the protection of four guards, recalling an article he had been reciting for the past few days, stuttering He said: "The law... the law... the ancient law... how can there be nothing wrong with it? If we talk about farming, the ancient system of sowing seeds and slash-and-burn farming, if the law is ancient, it will starve the world. Isn't this a fault?"

This article was written by Wei Rang for him, and Ji Sunluan didn't know exactly who caught the knife. He has been reciting it for the past few days just to be able to say it in front of the public today.

It's just that, unlike those Mohists trained in Pengcheng Peiyi Academy and assemblies, he has no experience of speaking in front of thousands of people. When he saw so many people, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

After saying this first, a guard beside him whispered: "I will stand in front of you. When you are giving a speech, if you are flustered, you don't look at the crowd, just look at my shoulder."

After finishing speaking, this person stood in front of Ji Sunluan according to the posture he had practiced before, which could neither block Ji Sunluan nor prevent Ji Sunluan from seeing too many people.

Ji Sunluan turned his gaze, seeing that there were not so many people, he felt a little less flustered, and took another deep breath.

The few pieces of paper that I recited earlier contained a lot of content. What the other party might say was listed one by one. Recited in advance, and a guard next to him was only for inscriptions.

Ji Sunluan felt that something was wrong at that time. Although the guards today may have served in the righteous division and have a good command of writing, how can a person who can talk about poems and kings easily be a guard?
But he has been forced to this point, and these guards are within a few steps of him, if he speaks unsatisfactorily, he is afraid that there will be bloodshed.

And now that his reputation has become rotten in the noble circles, and he has become an enemy, he has no way out, so he might as well use this opportunity to find a future.

As for whether Wei Rang was out of friendship or for another purpose, that was no longer something Ji Sunluan could consider now.

After he finished refuting the first sentence, the guard next to him whispered: "Let's use the topic of benefiting the country and the people."

Ji Sunluan mechanically recalled those contents, and then loudly questioned Xiao Sikou: "If it can benefit the country and the people, why can't we change it?"

Little Si Kou didn't even think about it, and replied: "It may be possible to benefit the people, but I'm afraid it won't benefit the country?"

There were similar problems in some of the words that Ji Sunluan had recited before. This time, without being reminded by others, he subconsciously replied according to the recited content: "The people are the foundation of the state, and the state is solid. How can a country be without people? ?You say that it benefits the people but not the country. This is like saying that food can fill the stomach but not the people. Isn’t it ridiculous?”

"So in your eyes, the country and the people are actually separate?"

When he was about to finish speaking, he just stared at the shoulders of the previous guards, and he heard bursts of cheers and applause from the crowd, and hundreds of people shouted loudly: "Well said!"

Little Si Kou Xu didn't expect that the most despised son Luan in the public clan could say this, but he couldn't refute it. He heard the cheers of the people, and when the cheers of the people gradually stopped, he couldn't think of anything. words that can be refuted.

In desperation, he paused for wisdom, thinking that Young Master Luan was already causing trouble, so he didn't need to be polite, and said: "Young Master Luan is greedy and lustful, has no virtue, and has no merit in size. You can't believe what such a person says!"

When Ji Sunluan heard this, it was an attack on his own virtue, and he didn't need anyone's reminder, so he couldn't help cursing: "What are you? You say I have no virtue, but you have virtue?"

They are all from the aristocratic circle, and no one is clean. Xiao Sikou couldn't refute the truth, but he used the most effective moral theory. Said: "Your wife has an affair with Da Sikong, and you push aside, what virtue do you have? Situ's mother died of illness, and he ate meat during the mourning period! Zaizhong respected witches, and he liked living sacrifices most to survive; Situ's father died Sacrificing human sacrifices... In terms of virtue, my cousin, our monarch, likes butts the most."

After saying these words, Xiao Sikou's face turned green. Ji Sunluan was a concubine, and he was also aggrieved before meeting Wei Rang. At this time, the suppressed emotions of these years suddenly burst out, and the private affairs among the nobles were completely destroyed. Scolded each and every one.

Those reasonable words that were originally prepared are now only used in one sentence, and the more Ji Sunluan scolds, the more angry he becomes.

This is an extremely effective way to slander people from the point of view of virtue because they can't make sense.

It's just that Ji Sunluan was originally a concubine, and he had no ambitions before. He was not a person who cherishes feathers and values ​​virtue at all.

This kind of dirty things in the circle, unless it is something like Chen Gong and his servants sharing Xia Ji, Wen Jiang and his elder brother who committed adultery and killed her husband can spread, everyone generally has unspoken rules. Tell some private things, unless you don't want to hang out in the noble circle anymore.

In the era of the feudal system, once it is rejected by the aristocratic circle, it means the end of wealth.

Ji Sunluan would not rebel or coup d'etat, but he also knew that after he stood up just now, there was no way out.I am not a sage in the first place, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

As a result, a debate that was supposed to be reasonable turned into scolding like shrews swearing at the street, and their status was greatly lost.

Some people in the palace couldn't listen anymore, they just wanted to make Ji Sunluan shut up quickly, and said loudly: "Slandering the monarch, you should be executed!"

This time, Ji Sunluan was self-taught, and immediately quoted a frequently heard saying: "Slander? There is no such dirty thing, but what I say is slander. There is such a thing today, but what I say , it’s not destroying, it’s telling the news.”

"Since you are in a high position, can't you even understand slander and accusation?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guard who had been standing in front of Ji Sunluan shouted loudly: "Today, Young Master Luan is asking for benefits for the people and standing with all people. The people are the foundation of a country. Young Master Luan is protecting the country. Who dares Killing him is treason and should be punished!"

The guard's voice was so loud that it actually covered Gong Ziluan's voice, he drew his sword in his hand and said loudly: "To seek benefits for the people today, there is no mistake or fault! Anyone who dares to touch Gong Ziluan will harm the people!"

He shouted victoriously, and Kui, who was standing below and listened to the dirty things among the nobles, shouted loudly. The only bit of sanctity left in this nobleman also disappeared with Ji Sunluan's words, but mortals .

A pair of soldiers rushed out from the palace gate, and they wanted to rush towards Gong Ziluan to catch him, so as to make him shut up.

Someone in the crowd shouted: "Young Master Luan is seeking benefits for the people today, you can't let the military take him away. If you take him away, who else will be able to seek benefits for the people in the future?"

Some people shouted: "Partners serving in the volunteer division, stand up, let's form an formation to block the soldiers!"

Most of those in the front row had served in volunteer divisions, and when they gathered, they all stood with their acquaintances according to the habit.

The ones with the time difference were some commanders, those who had been Sima Chiefs, Corporal Chiefs, or Xu Ruo and others who had mixed in among the crowd, stood up one after another at this time, and immediately made it possible for people to gather and organize.

Aoi was in the front row, standing with a few people, holding their arms together, blocking in front of the soldiers. For a moment, the people who were full of hope a quarter of an hour ago turned their disappointment into anger and courage. The discipline and organization cultivated by the volunteers have turned into insurmountable walls.

And behind them, dozens of carriages were behind the crowd, unloading loads of weapons.Several people stood on the carriage.

When the people in the back were confused and at a loss, a familiar whistle from the rebel army blew. Dozens of people subconsciously looked in the direction of the whistle, and heard a loud voice: "Everyone Those who have been musketeers and spearmen, come here to get weapons for self-defense!"
