Chapter 168 I do have the intention of rebellion
"Jiang, Brother Jiang."
Several people greeted Jiang Li awkwardly.
Everyone is gathered in the dungeon, except Commander Liu. Why not just call Commander Liu over as well?
Jiang Li quickly dismissed this dangerous idea.
When Ma Zhuo and his wife saw Jiang Li, they lowered their heads and reduced their presence.
"Kong Hu, tell me, what's going on?" Jiang Li came here just to meet Zhang Kong Hu and do some ideological work on him.
As for the Ma Zhuo couple, haha, they have to figure out a way themselves.
"Brother Jiang, I, I just don't understand. I didn't kill anyone or set any fire. I was walking on the street, chatting with people, and just said a few words before leaving and said we would talk tomorrow. How, how did I become a criminal?" Zhang Konghu knocked his head irritably, unable to figure out the problem.
If you say he made a mistake out of recklessness and was locked up, he would admit it. But if you say he was locked up just for saying the word "Ming", he would deny it even if he was beaten to death.
But he also felt stupid. Emperor Yong must have had his considerations when issuing this order. Maybe he had not thought of anything.
However, he didn't know what Emperor Yong was considering, so Zhang Konghu was very conflicted.
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. His eyes became red and he even had the urge to cry.
Seeing that the honest and hardworking Zhang Konghu was wronged, Jiang Li also became angry.
Jiang Li comforted Zhang Konghu: "Konghu, you are right, Emperor Yong is wrong."
"Is that so?" Zhang Konghu raised his head and tried to hold back his tears. "But doesn't Emperor Yong manage a country? He can also make mistakes."
"Of course, everyone makes mistakes. I will make mistakes, you will make mistakes, and even Ji Zhi, who looks wise, will make mistakes." Jiang Li said softly.
"One hundred years ago, Ji Zhi felt that alcohol was the root of crime and that drinking would cause trouble and was not conducive to the cultivation of cultivators, so he issued a ban on alcohol, stating that the manufacture, sale, or transportation of alcohol should be prohibited within the territory of the Great Zhou."
"The original intention of the prohibition was good. After the order was issued, the alcohol in the open disappeared from the Great Zhou. However, the prohibition could not eliminate people's desire and demand for drinking. The underground black market developed rapidly. The illegal manufacture and sale of alcoholic products brought huge profits. Countless people devoted themselves to crime, and the crime rate in the Great Zhou rose year by year."
"In the end, Ji Zhi had to admit that the prohibition had failed and abolished it." Jiang Li explained the causes and consequences of the prohibition in detail. Zhang Konghu seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.
Ji Zhi rarely made big mistakes in his life, and the prohibition of alcohol was one of them.
"Everyone makes mistakes, and Emperor Yong will certainly make mistakes too." Jiang Li said with a smile, "Kong Hu, there are no saints in the world. Don't blindly trust anyone, and learn to think for yourself."
Zhang Konghu nodded in confusion.
"And you, Old Huang, please put away your skills. They make Kong Hu want to cry." Jiang Li said to Commander Huang without even looking back.
The technique that Commander Huang practices can affect the moods of people within a certain range. The mood of others is the same as Commander Huang's. Since Commander Huang is always a sad person, people who are close to him also feel sad.
Normally, Zhang Konghu is not afraid of Commander Huang's martial arts, but now his thinking is at a stalemate and his mind is unstable, so he is easily affected.
"No, I didn't cry."
"Xiao Mu, who are they? And who are you?"
Although they did not mention words like "Human Emperor" or "Fusion Period" during their conversation, Zhang Konghu's cellmate, the young monk, still sensed that something was wrong.
Several commanders, the eldest brother of which was surnamed Jiang, also casually talked about Princess Zhou, and these things easily made him think of the existence that he dared not think of.
Commander Mu explained embarrassedly: "In fact, we are all commanders of the Human Emperor Palace. This is our Palace Master. You should have heard of his name, Jiang Li."
The young monk's eyes widened.
There are seven people here in total, one Mahayana, five combined. How can I, a little guy at the sixth level of Qi training, be locked up with you?
Is there smoke coming out of your ancestral grave?
The young monk felt that even if his ancestral tomb caught fire and his ancestor was resurrected, he would not be able to place him next to the Human Emperor.
"All of you, come out and meet the emperor." The officer was delighted. As far as he knew, none of the nearby cities had reached the number that the emperor had in mind. Only their city met the requirement.
After today, he will definitely be promoted.
…
"You are very good. There are more than 300 of you who are determined to overthrow Xuan and restore Ming. This number is qualified." Emperor Yong, wearing a yellow robe, sat high in the court. He looked through the numbers handed in by his subordinates and nodded slightly. Local officials stood in two rows.
Seeing that Emperor Yong was satisfied, the local officials immediately knelt down and kowtowed, shouting, "Your Majesty is wise and holy. May Your Majesty prosper the Great Yong for thousands of years."
"Your Majesty, there are a few unruly people who harbor resentment against Your Majesty and have been hiding it for a long time. It took me a lot of effort to find clues and find them." The local official took the credit of the official to himself, thinking that he would have a chance of promotion in the future. As for the official, he just needed to give him some benefits, and he believed that he would not dare to go against his wishes.

"Then bring him up and let us see him." After hearing the introduction, Emperor Yong also wanted to see how deeply hidden he was.
"Bring him up!" the local official said happily, turned around and gave a stern order, and the police brought the man up with a stern face.
Since his boss took the credit, of course he had to take it back.
"Your Majesty, please look, these two people, one is selling sesame cakes, and the other is selling bananas. The sesame cakes made by this person are big and round, shaped like the sun, called "ri", and the bananas made by the other person are shaped like the moon, called "yue". The combination of the sun and the moon is "ming". According to investigation, these two people have been selling sesame cakes together for 16 years, which shows how deep their resentment is!" The official said proudly, focusing on explaining his reasoning process.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. How could I have the heart to rebel?" The man selling sesame cakes and bananas cried out for justice. They were only at the third level of Qi training and they supported the previous Emperor Yong because they were tired of living.
Moreover, the previous Emperor Yong only served for half a month before being ousted by the current Emperor Yong. Who would support the Emperor Yong who lasted only half a month? If it weren't for the strict prohibition of saying "Ming" now, they wouldn't even know that the previous Emperor Yong was called Luo Ming.
By now, almost everyone in Dayong knows that the previous emperor was named Luo Ming.
The officer continued to introduce them regardless of what these unruly people said.
"There is also this person who has no regard for the law. He ate the round pancakes into a crescent shape, replacing the sun with the moon. Not only does it form 'Ming', it also means changing the sky. I think this person must have the intention of treason!"
The man eating the pancake nodded and said, "I do have the intention of treason and want to replace Emperor Yong."
The official was overjoyed. He had hit the jackpot by accident and actually found the rebel. Moreover, he foolishly admitted it. How could he not rise to prominence? Emperor Yong stood up suddenly, his legs shaking like chaff.
"The Emperor is joking." Emperor Yong forced a smile. The people below were ignorant and incompetent and didn't know Jiang Li, but how could he, as the Emperor Yong, not know him?
When the emperors of the nine dynasties ascended the throne, they should pay a visit to the Human Emperor.
When Emperor Yong first came to power, he wanted to visit Jiang Li, but unfortunately Jiang Li was still in the zombie world at that time, so Emperor Yong naturally could not see him.
He has seen it now, but Emperor Yong would rather not see it.
"Really? Emperor Yong knows me better than I know myself. I didn't even know I was joking." Jiang Li said nonchalantly with a somewhat cold expression.
Zhang Konghu was wronged, and as the eldest brother, he had to help Zhang Konghu vent his anger.
The Human Emperor also has selfish motives.
