Chapter 1896: The Despicable Attack and Defense of Yanjing (7)
Just when Xue Gang rushed to the palace, the message was blown all over the city by the wind, falling from the sky like snowflakes.
With the popularization of papermaking technology these days, paper is no longer a rare item, and basically everyone knows and understands what paper is.
Under the deliberate suppression of the Qin army, the price of paper was not as expensive as it was originally, but it was still a luxury product for ordinary people. It was impossible for the people to spend money to buy paper, and they could not afford it.
When they saw "paper rain" falling from the sky, the people in Yanjing were shocked.
The common people have seen rain, snow, hail, arrows, and stone bullets before, but this is the first time they have seen paper rain.
This is really a long time to see!
After a brief period of astonishment, the people in the city were overjoyed, thinking that this was a gift from God, and began to collect the falling papers vigorously.
Since money can buy paper, paper can also be sold for money.
People are not stupid. In their eyes, paper is money.
Instead of saying that paper is falling from the sky, it is better to say that money is falling from the sky.
At first, people were grabbing paper and did not find any writing on the paper, but soon someone discovered the content on the paper.
Liu Bingji was walking on the streets of Yanjing when he saw people grabbing paper, so he picked up the paper at his feet. When he saw that there were words on it, he started to chant unconsciously.
"...Liu Che, the traitor, for his own selfish desires, conquered Youzhou violently. There were more than two million people in the five counties, but he actually expanded the army to 180,000. He regarded the people as ants and simply lost all conscience. This is a double fault..."
As he read it, Liu Bing was completely shocked. This was an article to denounce Liu Che.
At this time, Liu Bing felt that the memorandum in his hand was extremely hot, and he wanted to tear up all the memoranda in the city immediately.
Liu Bing was already a hundred meters away. Xiangshi Ni Bodhisattva, disguised as a beggar, also picked up a letter. When he saw the content on it, his pupils suddenly shrank.
“…Liu Che knew he couldn’t do anything but did it. He used his humble army and mantis arms as chariots to fight against hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers, so that the lives of Youzhou were devastated and countless soldiers were killed and injured. It was simply a disregard of human life. This is three faults..."
When he thought about it, the Clay Bodhisattva stopped and said to himself: "Su Dingfang is not simple, what a brilliant plan to kill the heart."
While the people were scrambling for the memorial, all the major families in the city also knew about the petition.
“Master, hurry, look quickly.”
The housekeeper handed over the message. After reading it, the head of the Zhang family suddenly changed his expression and asked, "Where did this thing come from?"
“It floated over from outside the city, and it was everywhere in the city.”
Hearing this, the head of the Zhang family hurriedly ran out of the house. As expected, he saw the slogans in his hands floating everywhere. He couldn't help but said excitedly: "Okay, okay, Su Dingfang is indeed amazing. He deserves to be a famous general. Liu Che, let me see how you can survive." Get through this."
“Master, why don’t we add fuel to the fire and quickly spread the contents of the proclamation throughout the city?” the steward said.
"this…"
The head of the Zhang family was a little moved, but when he thought of Liu Che's methods, he shuddered in his heart and said calmly: "No, even if there are no aristocratic families like us to add fuel to the fire, Liu Che can't suppress the news at all. Soon the whole city will know , No need to risk testing Liu Che’s bottom line.”
"clear."
The same situation is also happening in other families. The heads of the major families were secretly happy after reading the statement. Liu Che had pinched the Youzhou family so hard that now the Youzhou family wanted him to die immediately.
Most of the aristocratic families, like the head of the Zhang family, chose to wait and see what happened, but there were also some families who were blinded by hatred and chose to add fuel to the flames at this critical moment and stab the process car from behind. At the same time, Xue Gang also rushed to the palace, ready to report the matter to Liu Che, but when he saw Liu Che, Liu Che already had a letter in his hand.
“…My heavenly soldiers went north to Youzhou to fight against the Manchus and rescue millions of people who were in dire straits.
However, the traitor Liu Che blocked the road and prevented the army from moving northward. He would rather have millions of Han people in Liaodong fall into the hands of the Manchus than let the heavenly soldiers save all the people from water and fire.
Liu Che, the traitorous son, whose mother died at the hands of foreigners, is now shielding foreigners and fighting against the heavenly soldiers. This is a tenfold mistake.
Ambition to become emperor and disrespecting His Majesty is considered disloyal;
It is unfilial to protect foreigners and ignore mother's hatred;
It is unkind to confuse the people and take human life lightly;
It is unjust to slaughter aristocratic families and rob people of their wealth;
These kind of unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust people will surely be punished by God sooner or later.
I also hope that the people of Yanjing will know their way back and will not continue to be deceived by Liu Che and lose their lives in vain.
I, Su Lie, promise to kill the leader of the thieves and never harm the innocent. "
Every time he read a sentence, Liu Che's body trembled and his face turned pale, but he still persisted in reading the entire content.
After finishing reading, Liu Che felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand. If Xue Gang hadn't supported him in time, he would have fallen down.
“It’s simply despicable and shameless to set up a frame of reference and blame others for it…”
Liu Che angrily scolded Su Dingfang.
If it was an upright duel, even if he lost, Liu Che would not be so rude, but he didn't expect that Su Lie would use such a despicable method to ruin his reputation.
Liu Che has nothing left. In order to defend Yanjing, he even offended the aristocratic family and destroyed the city wall. Now he only has a good reputation among the people. But once Su Dingfang's letter comes out, I am afraid that even the people will question his justice. This is to knock him down from the clouds into the mortal world.
If what Su Dingfang said in his statement was true, then Liu Che would naturally have nothing to say, but all of them were distorting the facts and dismissing them.
Say he has ambitions to become emperor? If Qin Hao had not threatened the emperor to order the princes, would he have been elected to proclaim himself emperor?
If you, Qin Hao, don't come to attack me, will I be able to block the car with my arms?
Say that he disregarded his mother's hatred and colluded with other races? This is even more nonsense. If he wanted to collude with the Manchus, why did he refuse to form an alliance with Nurhachi?
In short, in Liu Che's opinion, the contents of the petition are basically distorting the facts, confusing right and wrong, and deliberately discrediting himself.
But it’s useless for Liu Che to think so. The people must also think so. But do the people have the vision to distinguish right from wrong?
“Su Lie, you are too cruel.”
Liu Che looked like he was gritting his teeth, and then said to Xue Gang: "Immediately collect and destroy all the memoranda, especially the army. The soldiers must not be made aware of the opponents above. No one in the city is allowed to keep and circulate them. Violators will be punished with treason."
"Your Majesty, the general has already arranged this, but if it is just a ban, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop the people in the city from talking," Xue Gang said.
Liu Che certainly knows that it is better to defend the people's mouth than to defend the river, but how to solve the current situation?
No matter how you solve it, it’s useless. This is an unsolvable problem!
The third update is here, and I still owe 4 chapters.
