Chapter 1765 Downwind
“Asshole! It’s been three years and you still haven’t found the whereabouts of the Chunqiu Bi? All the eunuchs, maids, and concubines around me will be killed with sticks!”
“Your Majesty , It’s unfair, I have been with you for sixty years.”
“Your Majesty, have mercy. I never did this!”
His voice was weak. Finally I couldn't hear it anymore.
That day, eight words floated in the sky: "Tragedy in the Royal Palace, Tragic Tragic Tragic Tragic Tragedy."
In the palace, more than 30,000 maids, eunuchs, guards, and some concubines were all slaughtered, and the palace walls and floor tiles turned red.
After everyone saw it, most people were silent, and some were extremely angry.
Ten days later, a message was sent from the southwest mountainous area.
"In ancient times there was Jie and Zhou, and now there is Xuanyou. They are so cruel and cruel that God is angry..."
In short, it is a message of rebellion.
In the past, everyone could pretend to be deaf and dumb without seeing the true scene. Now the bloody scene is hanging in the sky. Who is not afraid?
If the old emperor continues to sit down and he is killed in the future, who can bear it?
That night, rumors spread. Some people said that the emperor wanted to massacre the city.
There was a riot in the capital. People stormed the four gates and fled outside the city. The gangsters in the city took the opportunity to loot and set fire, causing numerous deaths and injuries.
As soon as this incident came out, everything was suddenly unstable.
In addition, Chunqiu Bi exposed numerous local injustices one after another.
The anger of the people burns like a raging fire.
It's easy to say that it was just an unjust case, but Chunqiu Bi also exposed the dirty things that the officials had done.
Xiao Min took a look and saw that he originally only had to pay one-thirtieth of the official court tax, but now he had to pay one-third of the assessment. Is this okay?
Bright big characters hang on their heads every day, and it’s not like there are no literate people.
Hire a letter writer, just think about it.
As long as it is related to money and food, small things become big things.
Jiangnan took the lead in launching a popular uprising.
After three years of preparation, combined with the theory of righteousness and the theory of Xujun, the people of Jiangnan demanded that the emperor be deposed, a new Xujun be established, the cabinet be reset, and the administration be cleaned up.
Before that, they didn't pay a penny or lose a bushel of rice.
…………
A wine shop somewhere.
"Captain, don't you think those great scholars are very powerful? Why don't they come out to suppress the common people?" Huang Ergou looked at a group of rebels passing by and wondered.
Based on his understanding of the great Confucian scholar, one person could kill a thousand people.
"Er Gouzi, you are so stupid. Do you understand what it means to respect yourself by raising bandits? There are shadows of great scholars behind these rebels. They are taking this opportunity to ask for power from the emperor." Su Xiaodan said with disdain.
“But they were very powerful before, why didn’t they directly ask the emperor for power?” Huang Ergou asked directly in doubt.
“That’s because the core of their power is loyalty to the emperor. When they rebel, their power will be lost; so they have to rely on the power of the common people. Only the power of the common people can be independent and do not rely on Any outsider." Li Chun explained patiently.
Now the first phase of the main quest released by Black Tentacle has ended.
The root of Confucianism and Taoism has been found, which is the word "kneeling".
Since they were "kneeling", how could the great Confucians rely on their own strength to resist the emperor and foreign enemies?
Their power is used to suppress the common people.
This is a beast-fighting chess, "The emperor is afraid of the small people, the small people are afraid of the great Confucianism, and the great Confucianism is afraid of the emperor/Tatars."
The perfect closed loop of the world.
Speaking of this, another reminder sounded in Li Chun’s mind:
"Mission: Destroy the world of Confucianism and Taoism."
"The second stage: destroy the roots of Confucianism and Taoism."
How to destroy it?
Let everyone stand up!
When no one kneels down, the roots of Confucianism and Taoism will naturally disappear.
In places where there is no ritual of kneeling and worshiping, is there still room for Confucianism and Taoism to survive?
On the grassland, a son kills his father, a son marries his stepmother, the throne alternates, and the father passes on to his son, which cannot be passed down for several generations.
On the ocean, captains and sailors take money according to their share, and the sailors kneel to the captain? No, it’s the sea that I’m kneeling on.
Li Chun thought like this, the question is, how to get everyone to stand up?
Normally it is very difficult, and it may not be possible even in one hundred or two hundred years. He took out a few talismans and examined them carefully. He had to use extraordinary means to speed up.
"Captain, what kind of talisman is this?"
"A substitute talisman, a puppet talisman. If you burn one, a substitute will appear to take the damage and do things for you."
"Is this thing expensive?"
"Not expensive, after all, as you know, the Black Tentacles are very economical and like to fight to support war. These talismans only have technology, but the source of their power is this The world itself.”
"I understand, use the spear of the son and the shield of the attack son. But what do you want to do with the substitute talisman?"
"The troublemakers now are the gangsters who are supported, while the real people are being manipulated by the great scholars. They have been oppressed for too long and are afraid to show off. Only by using stand-ins and puppets can they boldly charge towards the court," Li Chun said seriously.
“Well, I think this is a bit awkward, right?”
“What’s awkward? Don’t you use a vest when surfing the Internet?”
“I understand, it’s just that you have How many symbols? ”
"As many as you want."
Subsequently, Li Chun began to distribute the stand-in charms.
The locals didn’t know what it was for at first and were very suspicious.
However, Chunqiu Bi endorsed it and took the initiative to introduce the function of this talisman in the sky.
It does not cure diseases or ward off evil spirits, but wears a vest.
If you burn it and drink it, a substitute who is different from you will appear.
You can control it to do things.
But only if it is full.
With this, the people finally became active.
But a problem has arisen: No one has any surplus food.
This stand-in only knows how to fight, but does not know how to grow food in the fields, let alone high-tech jobs such as weaving and fishing.
In other words, pure consumers.
What to do?
Grab it.
Isn’t that what a substitute does?
Whose to rob?
Grab the big ones.
What should I do if there are Confucian scholars in a wealthy family?
Fight together.
Anyway, the stand-in can't kneel. There is a missing bone in the knee, so he can't kneel down.
"No, why don't you take advantage of the power of Confucianism and Taoism?" A great Confucian who was invited to suppress the civil uprising said in shock.
Then he figured it out:
The power of Confucianism and Taoism can only suppress people, but cannot suppress beasts and monsters.
So as soon as it encounters Southern Yi, Northern Yi, Western Yi, Dong Yi... it will immediately become ineffective.
There is only one truth: these are not human beings.
After letting dozens of close servants capture a stand-in, the scholar checked it out and found that it was indeed the case!
"This is rebellion, this is rebellion! Heretic, heretic, heretic!" the great scholar said angrily.
"It's a rebellion, it's a rebellion, what should we do?" Captain Ding asked anxiously.
"Go quickly and find the imperial army. The power of Confucianism and Taoism will not work, but swords and guns will."
Three thousand imperial garrison troops were transferred over.
The substitutes of the civilian army were beaten and fled.
To be honest, the common people could have won, but when someone's substitute was beaten to pieces, more people started to care about it.
Although I didn’t lose my life, I lost my money!
How many things can a puppet do?
What a pity it was to be destroyed on the battlefield like this.
So they scrambled to escape.
What was originally a smooth game for players who were not afraid of death turned into a run-away game for players who were worried about equipment damage.
