Chapter 72: The Lower People Are Easily Abused

"Hey, I just went to Shoushan for a stroll, guess what I saw?"

In the small courtyard, Qin Lisheng had a worried and angry look on his face. He closed the door and walked in, and he couldn't wait to speak.

Xun Ke, who was holding the stone lock, didn't bother to pay attention to him and just kept throwing the stone lock. His strength increased day by day, and his originally thin figure became a little taller.

Gu Dan, who was staring at Cang crawling on the carpeted floor, was very considerate and asked, "What did you see?"

"Oh, it's a stone tablet left by our dynasty's founder!"

Qin Lisheng had obviously memorized it, and he recited to himself: "Your salary is the blood and sweat of the people; it is easy to abuse the people, but it is hard to deceive God!"

“It’s very well written.”

Gu Dan nodded in agreement.

Taizu Dayue rose from obscurity, fought his way to the imperial capital, and finally ascended to the throne, but naturally it was not all smooth sailing.

The stone tablet left beside Shoushan is the insights gained along the way, and also a warning for future generations.

The stone tablet is still there, but more than two hundred years are enough to blow away all the past.

"What's the point of writing well? In my opinion, the stonemason carved it the wrong way!"

Qin Lisheng snorted coldly and said, "It is hard to deceive God, but easy to abuse the people; the blood and sweat of the people are your salary!"

Here it comes again. Gu Dan sighed secretly. Every time he came back from going out, Qin Lisheng would curse Emperor Zong Ming a few times, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable all over. At the very least, he would make innuendos and secretly show contempt for him, and his main expression was that he was unwilling to accept it.

It is not easy to find a talented person who dares to do this in the imperial capital. How did such a genius join the Mohist School? It would be fine if Gong Shangguo dared to accept him, but Mo Qiu didn't kick him out, and he really dared to teach such a person! "If you can't speak, don't talk nonsense! What's wrong with Taizu's achievements? How can you slander him like this!" Xun Ke could not tolerate this kind of insinuation under the guise of the sages, and spoke angrily.

"Okay! Let's start again!"

Gu Dan pressed his palm against his forehead helplessly, knowing without even thinking what was going to happen.

These two people seem to be born to be incompatible. One is bold and outspoken, while the other is cautious and secretive.

Whenever they get together and express their opinions to each other, sparks are bound to fly.

"What did Taizu do wrong? His fault was that he gave birth to such a good emperor!"

Qin Lisheng was not afraid at all. He glared at Xun Ke and said, "At the foot of Shoushan Mountain, why don't you dare go over and take a look? Look at those farmers who are exhausted to death by the deadline every day! Look at those poor people with whip marks all over their bodies, who fall to the ground and are kicked twice!"

"It is the mistakes of later generations, how can the predecessors blame you? As a disciple of Master Mo, you went out to steal. Could it be that Master Mo taught you that?" Xun Ke was naturally fearless and spoke fiercely.

Qin Lisheng was furious when he heard this. You can curse me, but why are you throwing dirty water out of thin air? "When have I ever gone out to steal!"

Xun Ke was stunned.

I was so engrossed in the short essay I wrote last night that I took it seriously and said it out loud.

But this is an easy excuse, so he immediately said: "I just gave him a taste of his own medicine. Can't you accept it when it happens to you?"

"Good boy!"

Qin Lisheng rolled up his sleeves, his eyes gleaming coldly, "Come on, let me see how much progress you have made in these days!"

Throwing away the stone lock, Xun Ke stiffened his neck and said, "Come on, who's afraid of who?"

"Hmm~"

Cang, who was crawling on the ground and trying to stand up, heard the noise and fell to the ground with a fart. He clapped his hands repeatedly, looked at Gu Dan with big eyes, and shouted incoherently: "Shi Shi. Ya!"

"stop!"

Gu Dan, with a helpless look on his face, hurried forward and held Cang in his arms, and earnestly reminded him: "Yes, Master, you have to read the two words together, and you can't make mistakes!"

This little guy should not be old enough to learn to speak, but perhaps because he is nourished by spiritual energy, and after the spiritual energy is absorbed by Gu Dan, it is seamlessly connected to the internal energy of Qingmu Huasheng Jue to continue nourishing him, so both in terms of vitality and physique, he can be said to be much better than his peers.

The only downside is that the syllables of speech are problematic and it is easy to say the wrong thing if you are not careful, leaving Gu in a dilemma whether to acknowledge it or not.

The small courtyard was suddenly bustling with activity. There was a toddler learning to speak, a teenager who was still learning, an accomplished man, and Gu Dan, who was as quiet as a salted fish. Together, these four people could put on two big shows.

After a long while, Cang finally felt sleepy after making so much noise. Gu Dan quickly invited the gentleman to the cart and covered him with a quilt.

On the other side, Qin Lisheng won the battle with an unrivaled advantage, and asked arrogantly: "Do you accept it?!"

Xun Ke, who was pinned down and completely powerless to resist, blushed and cursed, "You crude warrior!"

"Ha, a crude warrior? I'm afraid you don't know the benefits of martial arts!"

Qin Lisheng had a nostalgic look on his face, but his words were somewhat problematic. "Back then, I went out with two people from the same village to do good deeds, and we encountered a group of bandits. Guess what? Hey, two of us died immediately, and I managed to save my life by jumping off a cliff."

I also dreamed of traveling around the world with a sword, but I died as soon as I left the village.

After letting go of Xun Ke, Qin Lisheng stood up straight and continued, "I finally understand. The so-called chivalrous heroes, singing and dancing with swords, and slaying evil and eliminating evil are all bullshit. No matter how great the truth is, no matter how right you do, you still have to die when you can't win!"

"Oh? You know you don't have enough power, but you still dare to scold the emperor?"

Gu Dan, who had finally coaxed Cang to sleep, glanced over and said, "He didn't learn his lesson after jumping off the cliff!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"If you can't beat him, can't you scold him? If he doesn't understand, you have to scold him!" Qin Lisheng sneered, "I think he's almost at the end of his rope. When he dies, I'll definitely take a piece of his flesh and chew it!"

This time it was Gu Dan who continued to argue with him: "Do you really think that changing the emperor will solve all problems?"

Some people always think that as long as the emperor is killed, everything will start over again, the country will prosper, the government will be clean and honest, the seas and rivers will be clear, and the world will be peaceful.

If there is a new emperor, it seems that corrupt officials will be buried with the emperor, the embezzled land will be returned to the people, the injustice of those who died unwillingly will be resolved, the unreasonable regulations will be changed, and everything will fast forward to a bright and clear world in broad daylight. How can such a good thing happen in this world!

Qin Lisheng froze there.

After a while, Qin Lisheng said, "If he dies quickly, at least I will be happy!"

Gu Dan shook his head at first, then nodded.

When he first came, he would often curse the emperor as a dog.

But now he was too lazy to even curse.

With his previous knowledge, he understood that there were always many reasons why a dynasty came to an end. It seemed to happen in an instant, but in fact, the problems had been accumulated for a long time!

The world has fallen into a quagmire for many reasons, such as the suffering of the people, lack of personal morality, rampant corruption, and even the violence of foreign races.

The first three items of the big moon are complete, and the only thing missing is the last one, which is the violence committed by an alien race, to complete all the negative cases that Gu Dan knows.

But this world is different after all. Although the immortals have not been seen, not only are the immortal stones real, but the folk martial arts are also superb.

Apart from anything else, a martial artist who has mastered the internal organs training is capable of being invincible in an army of a hundred people. This alone has caused countless troubles for the rebellion.

With the whole country's efforts to support them, do you really think that the emperor's imperial guards are just there to eat and do nothing?

If an ordinary person dared to shout "Are kings, princes, generals, or ministers of different races" he would be hanged on the next day and his entire clan would be executed.

From Gu Dan's perspective, Dayue was beyond redemption, and the ills accumulated over the years could not be solved by simply changing the emperor.

All that was missing was an opportunity. Perhaps it was a natural disaster that swept across several states, or the emergence of a genius with great abilities. Who knew? There were many people with vision in the world, and countless people were silently waiting for such an opportunity to appear.

How can a golden fish stay in a pond? Once it encounters wind and cloud, it transforms into a dragon.

But we have to wait until the right time, right? Mo Qiu is willing to illuminate the darkness a little before the dawn, but in the darkness, there are still many people suffering, waiting for a hero to raise his arm and call.

But, how long will it take until that day? (End of this chapter)
