Chapter 1017: Lord Chang'an is here, and the sky is clear! Heaven is moving vigorously, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement!
Treating guests, being treated as dogs, and beheading are the three trilogy that Ying Chengyu prepared for the people of Qi.
But the response of the people of Qi was far beyond Ying Chengyu's expectation.
Want to seize family property? Take it!
Want to recruit a young man? Take it!
Don’t you want to rob civilian girls? Please, Your Majesty, just accept your little girl! Even if it’s just to be a slave, a maid, or a concubine in the house, that’s fine! If you, your Majesty, look down upon your little girl, your dog will also admire you for a long time! Your Majesty, please don’t leave!
There is no need for Ying Chengyu to entertain guests, so all the old Qi people invited themselves to be dogs, just hoping not to be beheaded!
This directly caused Ying Chengyu to spend a month and only legitimately cut off more than a thousand heads.
Such a record is a shame for Ying Chengxuan.
But for Li Shu who lives in his hometown of Qi, it is no different than a huge earthquake!
Qin Wangzheng August 7th.
Three teenagers under the age of 20 left Peixian County together, passing by buses from various counties to see them off, and finally arrived at Linzi City.
The youngest Zhou Chang looked around, curious about whatever he saw.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Chang saw the Jingguan made of more than a thousand heads outside the south gate of Linzi City!
The still hot weather in early autumn makes these heads emit a strong rancid smell, and there are even black flies entrenched on them, which makes them look particularly penetrating.
However, there were many common people gathered not far from the Jingguan Temple and refused to retreat despite being harassed by flies and insects. They were crying and laughing, which was very strange.
Zhou Chang's face turned pale instantly, and he said with a slight stutter: "Brother Clan! Brother Cao! Look!"
Cao Shen turned his head at the sound, his pupils trembled, and waited. When he saw the wooden sign standing next to one of the heads, he exclaimed in shock: "That is Xuzhou Shenmao!"< br>
“Such a powerful man who was running rampant in the land was actually beheaded by his entire family, and his head was even shown to the public!”
Xuzhou is not far from Peixian County, and although Cao Shen’s family is not considered powerful, they are still powerful. He has a small prestige, has had contact with the Xuzhou Shen clan, and knows how arrogant the Xuzhou Shen clan's children are.
Cao Shen never thought that he would have the opportunity to see all the descendants of the Shen family in Xuzhou with his own eyes, but he only saw their heads but not their bodies.
Zhou Ke took two steps forward, looked at the wooden board next to the capital in the distance, and recited: "Xuzhou Shenmao, after entering the Qin Dynasty in Xuzhou, defied the king's order and raised servants privately, killed six people, and committed a crime. "New District Interim Law". "
"After the incident, he arrested and attacked the legal officials. The Lord of Chang'an ordered to attack his house, kill the stubborn resisters, and behead them as a warning to others!"
Cao Shen and the other three couldn't help but have doubts in their hearts.
It is known that Ying Chengyu was always guarded by a thousand soldiers, and when he was traveling around Qi, he was also accompanied by more than a thousand county soldiers. On the other hand, the whole Xuzhou Shen family was strong and strong. There are only five or six hundred servants.
I want to ask, why did Shen Mao dare to resist Ying Chengyu’s arrest, and even dare to attack the legal officials?
With deep doubts, the three of them continued to walk towards the south gate of Linzi City.
As the distance got closer, more and more sounds poured into the ears of the three of them.
"That thief Shen Mao is dead! Lord Chang'an has avenged you! My dear, go in peace!"
"Uuuuu~ I thought it would be difficult for me to be a good person in this life. People who want revenge can only watch the murderer of my beloved go free. Now that Lord Chang'an is here, the great revenge will finally be avenged!"
"Shen Mao, Fei Qiu and other evil-doers will finally get the consequences! The common people are also cautious because of Lord Chang'an. Not only do they not dare to bully us anymore, but they also return all the occupied fields to the old man. The old man has been looking forward to it all his life, and finally Looking forward to good days!”
“I’ve said it before, long time ago. Anjun is different from ordinary officials and powerful people. Changanjun really treats us as human beings! If you have any grievances, go to Changanjun. No matter how powerful you are, you can't be bigger than Changanjun. Changanjun will definitely make the decision for us! ”
Ying Chengyu was never able to successfully start the massacre of the people of Qi.
But what Ying Chengyu did has actually affected the old Qi Lishu.
Under the oppression of Ying Chengyu, the people of Qi had to abide by the laws of Qin, return to the fields that did not belong to them, and live and behave like ordinary people, and they did not dare to exploit and oppress Li Shu again. .
The reins that had always been tied around the necks of the common people were finally cut off, giving all the common people a chance to breathe and see hope for the future!
Listening to the heartfelt cries and laughter of the families of the victims on the sidelines of Jingguan, and the heartfelt admiration and emotion of the people passing by, Zhou Ke was also deeply moved by his admiration. : "In the past, even if my family worked hard, it was difficult to gain anything."
"My father spent all his money to support me in studying, just in the hope that I could He joined the Yamen Office as a small official to protect his family from being bullied. "
" Now that the Lord of Chang'an is here, the blue sky of Qi will be there! "
" Come to think of it, in the future. The powerful people will not dare to abuse the common people anymore. Even if there are no children in the family who are officials, there is no need to worry about being bullied by others! "
Zhou Yan did not expect Ying Chengxuan to give any preferential treatment to a Li Shu like him.
As long as Ying Chengyu can protect them from being bullied, Zhou Ke believes that Ying Chengyu deserves to be worshiped by thousands of families in Qi!
In the face of this protection, it is no longer important why Shen Mao dared to attack Ying Chengyu.
Zhou Chang said with a sullen face: "Such a silverfish should be killed!"
Cao Shen looked at the gathering crowd thoughtfully: "The common people of Xuzhou who were bullied by Shen Mao , how can we go to Handan to cry out our grievances?”
Money, food and work both restrict people's activity radius.
In Daqin, road guidance is an important factor restricting travel in the first part of Guizhou.
Cao Shen did not believe that the scene before him was completely spontaneous. In Cao Shen's view, there must be Ying Chengyu's tacit approval or even fueling the situation!
Cao Shen raised a slight smile at the corner of his mouth and whispered: "The Lord of Chang'an killed the big families who disobeyed the order and forced the people to abide by the law."
"Although Lord Chang'an did everything he could, They are all in line with the laws of Qin, but they may cause the people to hate Lord Chang'an and not want to be used by Lord Chang'an. "
"Brother Yan and Brother Chang, we must work hard this time to take the imperial examination. Only in this way can we help Anjun govern our hometown!" Zhou Ke and Zhou Chang nodded vigorously together: "You should do your best!"
< br>
After finding the cheapest guesthouse in Linzi City for the night, Cao Shen and the other two hurried to the old Qi Royal City as soon as the curfew was lifted the next day.
Cao Shen originally thought that the people of Guqi would take action to resist Ying Chengyu's high-pressure policy.
The most common way for the common people to resist is to refuse to serve in official positions, leaving the ruler with no one to use.
But he never thought that before Cao Shen could reach the gate of the royal city, he would see a large number of people dressed in gorgeous clothes!
Although they do not put their identity on their heads, their well-made clothes are enough to illustrate their identity.
After stepping through the city gate and approaching the Chang'an Bookstore, Cao Shen was even more surprised to find a large group of ordinary people gathered below the ring steps to talk. The children from small families like them were not only a minority, but also a minority. He was also pushed away from the ring steps!
Zhou Changlue said nervously: "Didn't Brother Cao say something yesterday that the people of Qi would be unwilling to be used by Lord Chang'an?"
"Why are there so many people's children! ”
Although the Master always said that Zhou Chang was smart, Zhou Chang also felt that he was quite smart. Even though he was only fifteen years old, he was not afraid to discuss things with scholars in their twenties and thirties.
But when facing the children of the common people, Zhou Chang inevitably developed inferiority and timidity.
Based on the books he has read, no matter how smart he is, how can he compete with the well-read children of rich families on the same stage!
Cao Shen's eyes were also a little confused: "I don't know either!"
Have Cao been reading fake books all these years?
Why is the actual situation different from what is stated in the book?
But in the next moment, Cao Shen calmed down and said in a low voice: "Because there are so many people from the common people who come to consult, we should do our best."
"Otherwise, Pei County will still be known by those people in the future. "Control."
"We will still be oppressed by the people and cannot stand up!"
Although Cao Shen's family is not powerful, it still has a small reputation, even if it misses the imperial examination. Cai continued his studies.
However, the two brothers Zhou Ke and Zhou Chang are actually from a poor family, and they understand how precious the opportunity is to them!
Both Zhou Ke and Zhou Chang felt intense tension in their hearts, and had an unprecedented sense of mission!
Taking a gentle breath, Zhou Ke strode forward.
Cao Shen shouted in astonishment: "Brother Yan, please stay!"
"Now the children of common people are in front and the children of Li Shu are behind. If Brother Yan goes forward as a child of Li Shu, he may be prepared. Attention! ”
In Cao Shen's view, the most important thing to do now is to be in harmony with the light and fight instead of fighting.
It is never wise to draw attention to yourself before the big test!
But Zhou Yan looked back and said seriously: "If you don't have the courage to attract attention, how can you break the bag like a cone!"
"You can't fail this test, so you should be confident first!"
“Although my family is poor, I have never been any weaker than the common people!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Ke didn't stop any longer. He passed by a commoner student and walked to the place below the ring steps, facing the different eyes of the common people!
Zhou Chang pursed his lips and strode forward behind Zhou Ke, standing one step behind Zhou Ke.
Seeing the situation, Cao had to put down his hand, shook his head helplessly and stepped forward, standing side by side with Zhou Ke.
Under the leadership of Zhou Ke and the others, more and more Li Shu disciples mustered up the courage to follow in the footsteps of Zhou Ke and others to the ring steps!
In the Chang'an Bookstore, Ying Chengyu looked down at the Li Shu children who were competing with the common people's children, and couldn't help but reveal a smile: "I have never been disappointed."
Ying Chengyu has tried his best to provide the children of Li Shu and even the children of gangsters with opportunities to study, go ashore, and compete fairly.
If outside the Chang'an Bookstore, under Ying Chengyu's nose, the children of the common people still cannot look down upon the common people and cannot conceal their inferiority and self-abandonment, then Ying Chengyu will be quite disappointed in his heart, and even think that they are unbearable. Very useful!
The lacquered carving ceremony also smiled and stroked his beard: "Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement!"
"If you don't bend your color, don't run away, if you move in a crooked way, it will go against Zang Huo, if you move straight, you will Only when you are angry with the princes can you become a gentleman!"
"Who is the first scholar to come out?"
Qi Diao Li didn't know if Zhou Ke had read Qi Diao's classics, but the qualities Zhou Ke showed had the charm of a Confucian scholar of Qi Diao. For a while, Qi Diao Li couldn't help but feel a bit of love for talents.
Cancan immediately rummaged through the booklet, checked it and whispered: "This person is a candidate in Peixian County. His family name is Zhou, and he is eighteen years old."
"The household has four hectares of land. The family has no wealth but is prosperous. This time it is He participated in the imperial examination with his younger brother Zhou Chang and entered Linzi yesterday."
Qi Diao Li smiled and nodded: "At the age of eighteen, his character has been determined."
"It's just a piece of raw material. Jade!”
Ying Chengyu felt that the name seemed familiar and murmured softly: "Zhou Ke and Zhou Chang of Peixian County?"
Could it be that they are the two brothers Gao Jinghou and Fenyin Hou, who are two brothers with strong bones and strong bones?
