Section 450
Qin Feng and He Qiu share a room.
"Brother Qin, am I wrong?" He Qiu asked.
Qin Feng was speechless.
"I think I was wrong." He Qiu said with a bitter smile: "If I had such a character, I would probably die in a different place sooner or later, let alone use the sage's book to punish the people and save the people of the world."
"I think I know what to do." He Qiu closed his eyes in pain.
He will kill his past self.
Qin Feng shook his head.
At this time.
A servant of an important official of the imperial court asked to see him.
When the servant saw Qin Feng and He Qiu, he smiled and said: "You two talented people, according to the old rules, before tomorrow's exam, you need to decide whether to join one force or not."
"What if you don't take refuge?" Qin Feng asked.
"If you don't surrender, you will naturally have no chance of being on the list." The servant of the important minister smiled and said: "The places on the list are all numerous, and they will be divided up by all the forces..."
"If you don't choose a force to join, it's impossible to be on the list."
"Furthermore, after taking refuge, if you perform well, serve as an official in the court, and everyone sticks together to keep warm, even if you do something wrong, it is okay."
The servant of the important minister said proudly: "My lord is in charge of the promotion of officials. If you choose to join us, the promotion path of these two talented people will definitely be straight up."
Qin Feng said: "The scholar Han Chuang has studied hard for half his life, and just because he doesn't want to join a group, it would be unreasonable to wipe out his lifelong talents?"
The important servant sneered: "The truth? Money is the truth!"
"Power is the truth!"
"Prosperity and wealth are the truth!"
"Is poverty the right thing? Is it right to have talent that cannot gain any benefits? Are they like oxen and horses like ants? Who can reason with them?"
He Qiu suddenly said: "Please tell your master, what do I want? I am willing to take refuge in him!"
Qin Feng glanced at He Qiu without any surprise.
So why ask for it? I plan to join first, climb to a high position, and then use my power to change the world...
Compared with the hot-blooded and angry young man before, he is much more hidden.
The goal is the same.
"You can teach me." The important servant looked at Qin Feng: "What about you?"
Qin Feng smiled and shook his head.
…
The examination room is on South Street and you need to pass by North Street.
In North Street, the people of the capital gathered, and countless people blocked a certain place.
Qin Feng and other scholars passed by and watched curiously.
turn out to be……
They were a group of soldiers carrying thorns on their backs and naked to the waist.
There are also a few common people and some officials.
They knelt on the ground, and one of the soldiers roared: "I, a soldier of the Northern Army, risked my life to report that the Army Commander Hu Jiu ordered us to pretend to be rebels and massacre eight million people in the North City!"
"I, a small official in Beicheng, am willing to risk my life to report and testify that Hu Jiu ordered the Northern Army to pretend to be a rebel army and massacre eight million people in Beicheng!"
"I, one hundred people in Beicheng, are willing to risk my life to report and testify that Hu Jiu ordered the Northern Army to pretend to be a rebel army and massacre eight million people in Beicheng!"
boom! ! !
Such explosive news immediately shocked the people watching.
Some time ago, the incident that made the whole country mourned and happened in Beicheng, where eight million people were massacred by the rebel army, had such an inside story!
"How dare Hu Jiu do this, slaughter eight million people, eight million!"
"He is simply not a human being, he is a beast!"
"Hu Jiu's backstage is Tian Rong, the chief minister of the dynasty!"
"No wonder, that Tian Rong reported his merit to the emperor, saying that Hu Jiu killed hundreds of thousands of enemies! It turns out...that Hu Jiu actually killed the common people and took the credit!"
"The emperor was deceived by his traitorous ministers. Alas, these people are simply beasts!"
Just then.
Rumbling footsteps came...
Tian Rong, the first assistant, led thousands of soldiers and came menacingly.
Before they even got close, he said: "Where did the unruly people come from, where did the rebels with their monstrous words come from? These deserters from the north are here to bite and slander important ministers. They are committing heinous crimes. Come on, catch them!"
"Put them on death row!"
boom! ! !
But the people who were watching were not happy.
"How could eight million lives be revealed so easily? We want the truth!"
"Yes, we want the truth! According to the rules, Hu Jiu should be recalled and asked to provide evidence to refute it!"
"That's right. The people in the north have many certifications and are willing to report them with their lives. Isn't this child's play?"
For a time, the people were in a rage.
Countless people, facing the sharp blades of thousands of soldiers, did not know where they got the courage to use their own flesh and blood to block it!
Eight million people, not eight million ants!
Eight million people, not eight million cattle and horses!
They are human lives, living human lives!
People of flesh and blood!
People, you need to know the truth!
Chapter 298 I am a calamity and a divine punishment
!
Qin Feng looked at this scene and frowned.
Tian Rong, the first assistant, gritted his teeth when he saw this scene.
He roared angrily: "Come on, take down all these unruly people who are blocking the road. If anyone blocks it, it will be regarded as treason!"
"Kill without mercy!"
Then, the sergeants holding sharp weapons, most of whom were sons of common people in the capital, asked them to use swords to deal with their brothers and sisters, parents, wives and children...
Of course it's impossible.
For a moment, the sergeant was indifferent.
When Tian Rong saw that no one was obeying his orders, he suddenly panicked, but he was more panicked.
Just then.
Suddenly a fast horse came.
Then he immediately held the imperial edict in both hands.
The knight stopped and suddenly shouted in a deep voice: "The wise emperor has issued a decree that the Prime Minister Tian Rong and the commander of the Northern Army, Hu Ju, pretended to be rebels and massacred eight million people. The evidence is conclusive..."
"These two are so crazy that they have done such a thing that has angered the heaven and the people. If they are not killed, it will not be enough to appease the public anger and thank the eight million souls!"
"Under the decree of the emperor, these two thieves can be killed by everyone."
After the knight finished speaking, he looked at Tian Rong coldly and shouted to the people: "Everyone, why don't you take action?!"
Swish swish swish!
Countless eyes full of hatred were cast on Tian Rong.
"The emperor is wise! Prime Minister Tian Rong and Army Commander Hu Ju are worthy of death by everyone!"
"Even treacherous officials like Tian Rong have made life miserable for the people. These scums all deserve to die!"
"Kill, kill, kill, and give us the people a clear and bright sky!"
Facing the excited people, Tian Rong trembled.
He suddenly gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and shouted: "Everyone, everyone, I am innocent!"
"It was His Majesty the Emperor who made me do this."
"Why did I, Tian Rong, kill those eight million people and massacre the city?"
"And how could I, Tian Rong, command? The commander of the Northern Frontier Corps, interfering in military affairs is a capital crime!"
Tian Rong smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty ordered me to do all this. If I didn't agree, how could I live to this day?!"
"If you don't believe it, then Hu Ju in the Northern Frontier must have a secret letter from the emperor. I can even find a few witnesses and physical evidence to prove that this matter is related to the emperor!!"
"Why did the emperor kill eight million people? All people under heaven are the king's subjects. We are all His Majesty's subjects. Why did His Majesty kill his own people?!" He Qiu suddenly asked loudly.
Tian Rong said: "Your Majesty did everything for immortality!"
"Your Majesty has nine thousand wizards in the palace, ignoring the affairs of state, and only wants to be immortal!"
"The slaughter of eight million people, making blood soul pills, and using them as the medicine for the immortality pills, were done by those wizards who bewitched His Majesty the Emperor!"
"The physical evidence I'm talking about is here."
"The immortality pills and blood soul pills must still be in the palace!"
Tian Rong said miserably: "I deserve to die, but is the emperor not wrong?"
"I already knew that one day His Majesty would use me as a scapegoat, but I didn't expect His Majesty to be so ruthless..."
