Chapter 672: Don't go against the will of the people
"Phew!"
Someone almost spit on Zhongshuling's face.
There are many literati students in Pingkangfang, not to mention scolding people one by one, and the sense of responsibility is particularly strong, thinking that when encountering injustices in the court, it is their responsibility to stand up and say something, listen to the heavens, and worry about the king.
Therefore, the prince made such a ridiculous and brutal thing, and it was precisely because these literati and students witnessed some of it with their own eyes that they have no intention of stopping to this day.
Xue Jinyi looked at Zhongshuling with a smile, did he think that if he opened his mouth and closed his mouth to pose as a loyal monarch to the country, the onlookers would buy it?
It's naΓ―ve.
Because there is also a kind of such person called "traitor".
No matter what the intentions of Zhongshu Ling are, for this group of literati students, he is a traitor who cares for people's lives and does not know the severity!
With that "bah", the scolding sounded.
"Why don't you let us take a clear look at how many harmful things have been left behind by the remnants of the previous dynasty, and give everyone a wake-up call!"
"That's right, the remnants of the previous dynasty actually sold cold food and powder, how many of our Great Zhou people are going to be killed! They're so vicious, let's see how many cold food powders they've prepared! β
"We won't interfere with the affairs of the yamen, why can't we see it with our own eyes?! Is it true that some of you are deliberately helping the remnants of the former dynasty to hide it? β
"I think there are definitely spies in the court who were planted by the remnants of the previous dynasty!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhong Shuling's face was a little delicate, this person who used to be able to carefully hide his emotions was a little uncontrollable after a series of unpleasant encounters.
He could only look at Pu Yangxuan as if asking for help, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, look at this ......"
Pu Yangxuan glanced at the indignant crowd, and finally looked at Zhongshuling helplessly.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu?"
Pu Yangxuan said: "I can't help but conform to public opinion!" β
Zhongshu ordered: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, you have a good reputation among the people and have won the hearts of the people, you come forward to say it, it will definitely be useful." β
Pu Yangxuan looked at the crowd again, and looked at Zhongshuling with a helpless expression, "It's because the people have some good feelings for me that it's even more difficult for me to do!" How sad should they be if I disobey the will of the people? β
ββ¦β¦β
Pu Yangxuan patted Zhongshuling's shoulder heavily, "Otherwise, Zhongshuling will let you watch it." You have been an official for many years and have rich experience, and I have learned a lot from you. β
"Don't dare, don't dare." Zhongshu Ling hurriedly bowed his hand politely and modestly, "You are His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and the lower officials still need your guidance." β
Pu Yangxuan's face became serious for a moment, and Zhongshu's shoulders stiffened, feeling a little terrifying.
Pu Yangxuan shook his head and sighed, "Zhongshu Ling, aren't you also here to embarrass me?" It's not that you don't know, I'm still young and inexperienced, you asked me to fight and kill the remnants of the previous dynasty, I'm doing it, but I really don't know how to deal with it! β
"......" Shuling's cheeks trembled slightly.
The scolding continued, and the longer they dragged on, the more angry the public became.
It's not that I don't understand it.
If this public opinion makes trouble in front of the emperor again, I am afraid that he will not even have the qualifications to interrogate the princess of the previous dynasty.
Because of this, Pu Yangxuan waited patiently, and this matter could only be decided by Zhongshu Ling, and the hatred of the remnants of the previous dynasty was full of his own.
The surrounding people had already shouted slogans in unison, and they were like a hammer smashing on Zhongshuling's head.
He could only bite the bullet, take two steps forward, and raise his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, "That...... After all, it is difficult to find out whether there are any remnants of the previous dynasty in the crowd, and if I take this opportunity to make trouble and endanger you, it will be my great sin......"
"The remnants of the previous dynasty dare to jump out, and I will be the first to stand up and kill them!"
"Add me!"
"And me!"
Zhongshuling looked at the crowd who were eager to try, and his brain twitched again, this is to force him on the fire rack, and roast him again and again!
He looked at Pu Yangxuan again.
Pu Yangxuan shrugged, expressing helplessness.
Zhong Shuling's face was more ugly than crying.
Xue Jinyi hung her head slightly, pursed her lips and almost laughed.
Zhongshuling took a deep breath, there was a feeling that the head chopper was on the back of his neck, and his tongue was swirling in his mouth, but he couldn't clearly pop out a word.
If you announce on the street that you will count the number of cold food scatters, and then pull everything out of the city to destroy it under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes...... What awaits him, he knows very well.
Even if he loses all his belongings, he can't get back this loss.
Zhongshuling swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and felt a burst of dizziness in front of him.
Dizzy?
The book makes the eyes light up, and the desperate place is born!
He rolled his eyes, threw his body back, and fainted.
Pu Yangxuan didn't seem to react, and still fell to the ground by Zhongshuling.
"Ouch!"
This one fell a little hard, Zhongshuling felt that the back of his head and buttocks were about to break, he screamed in pain, and almost jumped up again, although the feeling may be fake, but he didn't care about closing his eyes, paralyzed on the ground and pretended to be dead.
The people brought by Zhongshu Ling all ran over and shouted.
"What's wrong with you?!"
"Wake up!"
"It must be that Zhongshu Ling has worked too hard for several days, and this time he has the heavy responsibility of interrogating the princess of the previous dynasty, so he fainted from exhaustion!"
Pu Yangxuan watched the little official pick up the Zhongshu order, and was about to run away, but he reached out and pressed his shoulder.
The little official asked in a panic: "Chu, His Royal Highness the King of Chu...... Do you have any other commands? The little one wants to take the book order to see the doctor. β
Zhongshuling was also a little panicked in his heart, for fear that the King of Chu would have some crooked ideas, and insisted on waking him up here.
Pu Yangxuan said: "You must take care of the Zhongshu Order." β
Is it easy?
Zhongshuling and the little official were stunned for a moment.
Pu Yangxuan patted the shoulder of the little official, it seemed that the strength was not great at all, and the little official didn't even feel pain, only the feeling of a gust of wind passing through his body.
But the Zhongshu Ling on his back suddenly felt like his internal organs had been stirred up a few times, and the food he ate last night suddenly rushed to his throat, and he spit it out with a "ahhhhhh
Pu Yangxuan hid quickly, but the little official was unlucky, not only on his body, but also on his face with a lot of disgusting paste.
A strange smell spreads in the air, mixed with the fragrance of cold food, which makes people sick to their stomachs.
"Feed Zhongshu Ling and drink some water." Puyang Xuan instructed casually, "This vomit, you have to drink some water to be more comfortable." β
Immediately, someone brought tea and poured it for Zhongshu Ling.
Zhongshu made Youyou "wake up", and asked blankly, "What's wrong?" Where am I? β
Pu Yangxuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Zhongshu Ling, you are still at the door of the endless flower." β
"Oh oh oh ......" Zhongshu Ling blinked a little confused, pretending to be weak and leaning on the little official's arms.
In the crowd, someone shouted: "Since Zhongshu Ling has woken up, let's quickly order to count the cold food!" β
