Hanging pot to help the world, I just want to live forever

Chapter 228 Untrustworthy and Moral
With the continuous publicity of the court officials, the news that Mo Qiu had passed away finally spread completely.

The festive scene that was still in full swing before has turned into a vegetable market in the blink of an eye, and some people even cried loudly regardless of their image.

Some rangers who admired the prestige of Mo Qiu and the Mo family from various states were the most excited. Even though they knew that Jin Yiwei was watching over them, they still caused a lot of trouble.

Especially the guy who yelled "Moqiu has fallen" loudly, received several punches on the face and mouth so hard that blood flowed out.

If Jin Yiwei hadn't arrived in time, he might have been beaten to death by the excited crowd.

Seeing this commotion happening on such a festive day, Xiaoying couldn't help holding Gu Dan's sleeve, and whispered, "Uncle Gu, don't you want to help them?"

Gu Dan took a deep breath. With his ability, he could see farther and hear farther.

Even before the official who spread the news was beaten, he was able to stop it.

But he didn't move.

"I won't be there all the time."

Gu Dan said: "Before irreversible events happen, let me see their abilities."

Personal might can indeed threaten the ruler of a country, but a great master is far from enough to truly control the world.

When necessary, Gu Dan needs to take action, and Gu Dan will not refuse.

But if he is required to take action in everything, what is the purpose of establishing the Xia Dynasty?
Since Wang Mang dared to announce the news of Mo Qiu's fall today, he should have made enough preparations.

You can't just hope that he will come forward and use force to forcefully subdue the excited people, right?
If you can't even handle this, it would be too disappointing.

Gu Dan watched silently, and soon, the rebellious rangers were captured on the spot by Jin Yiwei—these Jin Yiwei were the same group of Wang Mangtang before, and they were also the group he trusted the most.

Even if you don't have the ability to manage a country, a sword in the hands of a monarch is still very useful.

Jin Yiwei's attack was not light, he went up and knocked down the group of rangers to the ground, tied them with ropes and took them away.

The broad daylight and the bright sky, this rather familiar scene made the people in the Xia Dynasty couldn't help but think back to the days when they stayed in the Great Moon.

Especially the aborigines of the imperial capital.

This scene is so fucking familiar!
Except that Jin Yiwei didn't draw his sword, there was no difference at all.

Gu Dan even saw with his own eyes an old man asking his child with a terrified expression, "What year is this eve? Is it the Xia Dynasty or the Great Moon?"

"Didn't it be said that the saints established the country? Why is it still such a virtue?"

"Didn't you hear what they said? The saints are already dead! The saints are dead, of course there are scum who come to power in the skin of saints. Disgusting, really disgusting! People are dead and still use his name. Pooh!"

"The saint is gone, who is calling the emperor? What deeds and virtues does he have?!"

Not only rangers, but even some scholars have stood up.

They didn't wave their fists or swords, but the words that could come out of one mouth were no less than swords!
Some of these people are because they really don't like the moon and don't want to enter the world; some of them came to the imperial capital because they saw the lack of officials at the beginning of the Xia Dynasty. At the foot of the emperor, there must be the most opportunity. This is inevitable. controversial.

But no matter what kind of scholar he is, he naturally looks forward to a sage king and enlightened master.

People's hearts are difficult to measure, but they are also easy to measure.

Everyone says you are a sage and admires your virtues, that is true appreciation and liking.

They came here because of Mo Qiu's fame and virtue, and they hoped to work under the hands of such a saint.

Fortunately, the saint was gone.

And judging by the appearance of preparations, there must have been news long ago, but they just didn't release it, and waited until it was done and everyone was coaxed to come over before announcing it!

Seriously!

Its heart is awkward!

Do all the bad things!

If a saint is missing, a wicked person must be found to make up for it.

As the first emperor of the Xia Dynasty who stole the fruits of the saint's victory in the eyes of everyone, Wang Mang is the best target.

Countless people who greeted him happily when he was riding the dragon chariot before, now are not afraid to greet his whole family with the most vicious words.

"The sage has died, and the wolf is in power! The country is no longer a country, and there is no peace in the sky!"

There was even a scholar whose hair and beard were already gray, and who was wearing a worn-out long gown, lying on the ground and crying loudly, still shouting incessantly.

After someone took the lead in this way, all kinds of verbal and written criticisms naturally took turns.

"Who was the one who sat on the dragon chariot before? Why did you never hear any rumors before the founding of the country, and you have been doing things in the name of a saint?"

"Coax us here just to announce the news that the saint has passed away? If that's the case, don't wait for the Xia Dynasty!"

"Holding the saint's tiger skin so that he can wear a yellow robe, there is no faith and no righteousness; the news spreads, and Jin Yiwei has been prepared for it, and he must have known it long ago, but he refuses to let the saint rest in peace. This is heartless and moral! Righteousness, no benevolence and no virtue, how dare you be the founding emperor?!"

All kinds of doubts and insults were heard endlessly, and all the spearheads were aimed at Emperor Xia, Wang Mang!

As the emperor of a country, when the people are angry and don't know how to vent it, it is absolutely right to scold the emperor.

Don't ask what this matter has to do with you, just say whether he is the emperor!

Now that you have become the emperor and enjoy the authority of the emperor, you will naturally have to bear the abuse that the emperor should have endured. It is impossible for you to take all the good things.

Facing the cursing voices of the raging crowd, the group of Jin Yiwei did not make a move.

Zhong Yan, who is now the commander of Jinyiwei, just coldly glanced at the group of scholars who spoke rudely.

If it wasn't for Emperor Xia's order not to restrain people with words, none of this group of people would be able to escape today.

The group of scholars who were already prepared to sacrifice their lives for righteousness waited for a while, and even they were almost tired of cursing, but the group of Jin Yiwei didn't respond at all!

This did not make them happy, but even more angry.

There was also a daring stunned young man who ran up to Zhong Yan and shouted, "You bastards, where did you hide the saint's body? Thief who stole the country!"

Zhong Yan, who was silent at first, had a mocking look in his eyes, "We are thieves who steal the country? Where were you scholars when Yuzhou was hit by a disaster? Where were you scholars when we rescued the people? Where are you scholars in times of chaos?
After learning a few words and studying for a few years, he regarded himself as the No. [-] person, pointing and criticizing everywhere.It is said that Emperor Xia has no virtue.Where is your virtue?on your lips? "

After asking such a series of questions, the reckless blue-headed green face turned red and then pale, and after a while he cursed: "We are here for saints! Doing things for saints is a matter of course. What are you bastards? You are also worthy of establishing a country in the name of a saint?"

The sarcasm in Zhong Yan's eyes was even more sarcasm, "Oh? Do you want to work with the saint? When did the Mo family close the door? The saint was born more than ten years ago, and the Mo family followed him for more than ten years. Could it be that ten years ago you still I was not born in your mother's womb, so I missed it? It's hard to grow up today, and I finally got the approval of my parents to come and join the saint?"

"you you."

The reckless scholar was so angry that his chest heaved violently.

Just looking at his appearance, the beard is already half a finger long, how could it be possible that he has just grown up?

These words were obviously out of yin and yang to blame him. The sage refused to join the Mohist family when he was alive, and when he heard the news that he was going to establish a country, he rushed to join him in a hurry.

I know in my heart whether I am here to defect to the Mo family or to seek official positions.

"The dignified Jinyiwei will only use his tongue!"

After holding back for a while, the scholar finally uttered a complete sentence, raised his neck, and his flushed face was full of unyielding, like a loyal and fearless soldier, "I am standing here, you will kill me at worst!"

"Ah."

Zhong Yan didn't hesitate at all, and directly and fiercely pressed the long knife in his hand on the shoulder of the reckless scholar.

The coldness of the iron touched the warm skin, making the fine hairs tremble.

The scholar's tooth crown had already started to tremble, but his eyes were still fixed on Zhong Yan, without saying a word.

He was really ready to die.

Zhong Yan slashed his sword suddenly!
The sound of breaking wind is set off!
The reckless scholar stood there blankly, his legs trembling, but he didn't struggle, only his eyes were filled with infinite anger.

Then he saw Zhong Yan walking away with a knife, and there was a faint voice resounding amidst countless verbal criticisms.

"It's still a man."

The reckless scholar touched his neck and then his head.

Still.

The hot blood rushing to his head began to recede rapidly.

The fear of death came over me.

He heard the sound of cursing and cursing Emperor Xia one after another in his ears, and watched Zhong Yan walk away with the knife, and stood on the spot for a while, with a dazed and helpless expression.

It's a little unclear.

And this is just happening in a beautiful corner that Gu Dan can see.

Scenes that are similar but not quite the same are being staged in the imperial capital one after another.

How many people Wang Mang recruited by relying on Mo Qiu's name before, how many people are scolding him now.

Especially after discovering that Jin Yiwei will not arrest people for their words, the voice of abuse became more and more arrogant and rampant, and it was taken for granted.

Why didn't this thief emperor arrest people for his words?

Of course it is because of a guilty conscience!
As long as a scholar wants to scold a person, no matter what he does, good or bad, there are thousands of reasons and willingness to scold him, and it sounds and looks very reasonable at first glance.

When they were in Dayue before, they didn't dare to scold, because if they scolded, they would really be killed, and maybe they didn't kill one person, the small one would hurt the whole family, and the big one would hurt the whole family.

But the Xia Dynasty was talking about following the morality of the Mohist school—although some people don’t even know what the morality of the Mohist school is, but since they want to follow the morality, it must not be the same as Dayue, right?

Otherwise, why change the name to Xia Dynasty, why not just keep it as the Great Moon?

If they are saints, they can naturally bow their heads and obey their ears, but since they are bastards who have ascended to the throne in the name of saints, of course they can't scold them enough.

Even if Wang Mang has quietly ordered, there is no need to arrest people because of their words, unless they are insulting guys with Mo Qiu, but there is not much time. The prisons, dungeons, and even the sky prison in the imperial capital are all full!

It's not that those people really committed such a big crime, the main thing is to find a place to watch the prisoners, right?

The vast majority of those captured by Jin Yiwei came to the imperial capital from various prefectures with a passion in their hearts, or simply heard that Mo Qiu was spread several times, and even made up countless stories. Ranger.

This group has some martial arts skills, but not many; people who know a little bit of morality, but don't know too much, are the group that can disturb the law and order the most.

The prohibition of a chivalrous man using martial arts is by no means just talk.

If the Mo family hadn't entered the imperial court, no matter how good their reputation among the people was, they wouldn't get any good looks from the officials.

This is true for right and wrong!

This group of knight-errants did not have the high requirements of the Mohists, but also wanted to wield a murderous weapon to fight for justice. It's really hard to say what their nature is, whether it is good or bad.

But in any case, it is a big deal to catch so many people!
Jin Yiwei Commander Zhong Yan has already rushed to the palace to inform Emperor Xia.

"Now the prisons, dungeons, and even the dungeon are all full, and they can't even hold people. So that the brothers have to tie the rangers with ropes outside the prison, and send a few people to guard them. Some of them are very skilled in martial arts, During the rebellion, four brothers died."

Zhong Yan reported seriously.

After listening, Wang Mang said without any hesitation, "Those rangers who only caused minor disturbances can collect their weapons and give them a warning before they can be let go. As for those who resisted and killed in anger, there is no need to wait, just go straight in front of them." In front of everyone, go out and behead!"

Zhong Yan hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but said: "Those people will never be grateful for this incident, they will only laugh at you for killing people without daring to kill more. It will be difficult to gain prestige, and it will not be good to deter the rest of you. Will that group of people kill a few more?"

Wang Mang shook his head, "Governing the country is not the same as managing the hall. What we have to do is not to show to the people in one place, but to show to the people all over the world. Now they are making a fuss, but after all, the emperor has the ability How many people? How many people are there in the entire Xia Kingdom? I have nothing to boast about, so it is only natural for me to be scolded a few times, and it is normal for some people to be dissatisfied.

As long as no one is killed, they can be lenient.After all, I am such a lucky founding king, I can't find many in the annals of history, right?Not to mention that they are not convinced, if it were me, I would have to scold a few words. "

He had just ascended the throne, and Wang Mang wasn't even used to calling himself Zhen, but in front of his old subordinates, it didn't matter, and he was even in the mood to make a joke.

But when the topic changed, Wang Mang's expression became serious, "But those who dare to take advantage of the chaos to attack others, even murderers, count as one, and kill them immediately if caught! Kill until no one dares to commit crimes! Tell me They are now in the era of the Xia Dynasty, and there is no room for lawlessness! If you still treat them like the moon in troubled times, don't blame them for being ruthless!"

"Yes!"

Zhong Yan nodded in response, and walked away quickly.

During the years of the Great Moon War, even the rangers in this land have become wild in their hearts, getting used to the lawless life, and even take these things for granted, and even act like before, thinking that no one will Catch them, where is such a good thing?

Facts have proved that any country or an emperor ascends the throne, the first thing to deal with is weapons and warriors.

Wang Mang looked around the empty hall.

At this time, there was no one beside him.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Wang Mang looked as calm as a Buddha statue.

Brother Gu, I'm trying my best to be an emperor. Did you see all this today?
Can you get your approval?
