The cheers gradually died down.

The excitement and curiosity on the faces of the onlookers also dissipated, replaced by bewilderment.

For these scholars, the public respects them from the bottom of their hearts. Many times they do not understand what they say, but they know it is very reasonable.

At this moment, looking at these scholars and scribes in commoner robes, they sat upright with solemn expressions, and did not cry out, but everyone immediately knew that something very important had happened.

I have seen this scene in a daze before. When the crown prince died of illness, the late emperor declared King Qi as the crown prince to inherit the great power. Support Orthodoxy outside the city.

I don't know what they are asking for this time. Why do they call Duke Cheng a soldier of subjugation?

Also, the last time their appeal was broken up by the wolf-like Jin Yiwei, with sticks, knives, guns and blood, it led to a tragedy that is still chilling to talk about.

What about this time?

The eyes of the people looked at Cheng Guogong's soldiers and horses over there.

Thousands of sergeants formed an formation, and stopped to stand at this moment, except for the flags in the formation being blown by the wind, there was silence, the crossbows were behind the back, and the swords and guns were hanging sideways, but they were full of murderous intent.

Compared with Jinyiwei, these soldiers would be more terrifying if they killed them.

"How can you say that? How can Duke Cheng be compared with Jin Yiwei." Someone murmured, "Then what happened to Duke Cheng?"

Cruel official and treacherous minister?

Is that still the legendary Cheng Guogong who is admired by everyone?

Or are legends just legends?

Legends are just legends.

Legend has it that everyone is in awe and gratitude to them for defending their home and country, but what do they see now?

"Why?" Lei Zhonglian murmured.

In the face of those merchants blocking the way, he can accept the explanation of rioters making trouble, but what about these scholars?

They are scholars, they are sensible, they know the shame, they are not disorderly people, and what they do must be reasonable and correct.

They are right, so are we wrong?

Why? Why should we be treated like this?

This time the side still sneered, but there was no schadenfreude like before.

"There are so many reasons." Jin Shiba just said coldly.

The soldiers, Lei Zhonglian and others were thinking that Zhao Hanqing was safe. Seeing the road blocked, she immediately untied her bow and crossbow and urged her horse to move forward.

Several generals were taken aback, they all knew that this girl really dared to kill.

Not only to kill gold thieves, but also to kill the people of Da Zhou, as long as one order is given.

Although these Qingshan Army are no longer the dozens of people they used to be, they have also become their subordinates, but they all know very well in their hearts that in terms of influence in this Qingshan Army, they are really not as good as the two girls.

"Miss Xiaoqing, Miss Xiaoqing, this one cannot be killed." They hurriedly called her to stop.

Zhao Hanqing reined in his horse and looked at them puzzled.

"Why? They blocked the way," she said.

But they are literati, scholars, civil servants, and bachelors.

Originally military generals are inferior to literati, how can they fight and kill them?

Cheng Guogong accepted the words with a smile.

"Ask them why they are blocking the way first," he said.

The generals stood up immediately.

"Master, let's ask." They said in unison, unable to hide their anger.

These people are too deceitful, if the Duke of the country goes to see them like this, it will be really embarrassing.

Cheng Guogong raised his hand to stop it.

"No need," he said.

Of course, at this time, Cheng Guogong was more convincing when he approached the public, appearing humble and close to the people.

The generals thought about it, but they saw Duke Cheng nodded to Zhao Hanqing.

"History will do," he said.

Well, the Duke is indeed the Duke.

It is this little girl who deals with merchants, and it is also a little girl who deals with these literati and students, and they are really treated equally.

Sometimes it is a kind of contempt to treat everyone equally.

"Should we fight if we don't obey the order?" Zhao Hanqing asked.

"Of course." Duke Cheng said with a smile.

Really, really hit?

The generals looked hesitant, because You Wen and Zuo Wu had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even though their official positions were not small, they had a certain respect for these scholars, even if they were white.

No, it cannot be said that all military officers are afraid of literati, but there is a certain status that people are not afraid of, and that is Jin Yiwei.

A wry smile appeared on his face as the thought flashed.

They threw their heads and blood and returned from hundreds of battles. They didn't dare to call themselves loyal and brave, and they didn't expect to be reduced to the image of Jin Yiwei.

Zhao Hanqing urged the horse to gallop away without hesitation.

The sound of the horseshoes of De De was particularly eye-catching in the silent military formation, passing through the military formation, and stopped in front of the scribes and students in the middle of the road.

"Hey, are you also dissatisfied with the government's order?" Zhao Hanqing asked.

The few students at the front raised their heads and were not surprised when they saw the girl in front of them, nor were they dissatisfied with asking about her identity.

They looked calm.

"No." said one of the leading scholars, "We have no dissatisfaction with the government."

No?

Zhao Hanqing was stunned.

"We are just dissatisfied with Cheng Guogong." The scholar continued.

Cheng Guogong only said that those who are dissatisfied with the government can be killed, but did not say what to do if they are dissatisfied with him. Zhao Hanqing didn't take out his bow, crossbow, knives or guns, and he rubbed his brows with his hand.

"So what do you want?" she asked.

"We invite Duke Cheng to dismount his horse and stragglers, remove his armor and cap, and plead guilty to the imperial city." The leading scholar said solemnly.

Plead guilty?

The people around were in an uproar.

The imperial court clearly said that they would reward Duke Cheng for meritorious service, so why did these people want him to plead guilty?

Scholars always have some reason in their words. The people looked surprised and puzzled, but they just talked in a low voice, and no one refuted it.

"Why?" Zhao Hanqing asked all the people's questions, "The Duke of the country is obviously meritorious."

The generals in the army formation looked anxious after saying this.

You can't ask this question.

It was a child after all, so he blurted out out of curiosity.

We cannot give these people a chance to speak at this moment.

They couldn't resist going out, but it was too late.

"Mr. Cheng has no merit and is guilty."

The scholar over there said with a clear voice and a serious expression, without waiting for Zhao Hanqing to ask, he looked at the army formation here and raised his hand.

"Crime one, disobedience to the emperor's order, greedy for meritorious service, resulting in the death of tens of thousands of soldiers."

"The second crime is cunning, robbing power and love power, and disregarding the safety of the country and the people."

"The third crime is to be warlike and heavily armed, so that the soldiers are endless, the national treasury is wasted, and the people are wasting money."

"The fourth crime is arrogance, arrogance, asking for rewards and honors, and leading other officials to follow the example of disrupting the military and government."

Before he could stop, more literati stood up and pointed at the soldiers in the army formation. Their expressions were sad and their eyes were angry.

"For a long time, you have been delighted to hear about the war, and you are proud of the war. The border has never had a peaceful day, and the battle has never stopped."

"You only have the heart of profit and wealth, ignore state affairs, and despise the people. Your actions are really disastrous to the country and the people."

"You still dare to show off your merits and fame like this. If things go on like this, my great Zhou will surely shrink the country, and the country will perish by your hands."

"Cheng Guogong Zhu Shan is the minister of the subjugated country, and you are the soldiers of the subjugated country."

Even though many people were talking, each of them spoke loudly and clearly, sonorously and forcefully, and every sentence was thrown at the army formation here, and it was also clearly heard in the ears of the surrounding people.

Is that so?

So this is ah.

They are warlike and heroic, which is not a good thing, nor is it meritorious, but a crime.

Speaking of the war at the beginning, everyone was really worried and restless day and night. They were very happy when they heard the peace talks, but Cheng Guogong opposed the peace talks and wanted to fight the Jinren.

The Jin people were very angry and threatened to send another 100,000 troops. If this continues, the battle will indeed be endless.

Money wasted, merchants began to collect money, and officials' salaries stopped, which shows how empty the national treasury is.

The most important thing is that everyone is always worried that there will be no stable life.

Soldiers are also murder weapons, and this is indeed the truth.

The expressions of the people became complicated, and the way they looked at these soldiers also changed.

And the sergeants also changed their faces.

Although they didn't understand a lot of what the scholars said, they understood the last sentence.

And they also understood the expressions of the people around them.

Subjugated, soldiers, guilty, soldiers.

They originally existed like this?
