Chapter 743: Liu De, the Benevolent One (Part 2)
As the rumor spread in the city, the refugees, who had just calmed down a moment ago, suddenly rioted again.
At this moment, Liu De was also panicked, and quickly ran to ask the imperial teacher for advice.
"National Master! What should I do now?!"
Hearing this, Kong Daqian, as the initiator of the leak of the news, looked at Liu De with a look of disappointment.
"Your Majesty, you are so confused! How could you do such a thing?!"
Obviously, just like the previous scene of drawing the sword and committing suicide, what happened afterwards was all done by Liu De on his own initiative, and Kong Daqian only took action after learning the news.
Faced with Kong Daqian's teachings, a hint of displeasure flashed across Liu De's face.
This king has been in power for a long time and has become so high that he has become arrogant and his temper has inevitably become worse.
In the past, he did consult the Imperial Master on everything and followed the Master's arrangements. But as time went on, Liu De slowly began to act on his own and became intoxicated with his own power. He felt that he did not need the Imperial Master's intervention and that he could handle things on his own.
However, Kong Daqian still held a high position in his heart. Even though he was unhappy at the moment, he still suppressed his emotions, admitted his mistakes, and asked for solutions.
"I am confused, please teach me, Master!"
Kong Daqian knew that Liu De was always quick to admit his mistakes, and that he was essentially the kind of person who would humbly accept a lesson but would never change his bad habits, so he didn't take it seriously.
However, this guy has already come to him to ask, if he can't give a solution, it will affect his situation.
"At this point, we can only say that those people are not dead, they are just recuperating."
"Okay, let's do it!"
The situation was critical now, so Liu De did not doubt it and quickly agreed and ran to arrange the matter.
Looking at Liu De's running back, Kong Daqian shook his head speechlessly.
What he just said can only be considered a solution, but it is definitely not a good solution.
When something like this happens, the public will not easily buy into such a rogue approach to dealing with it.
Faced with this idea, Liu De agreed so readily, probably because the other party thought the same way.
Kong Daqian knew clearly that although Liu De had always claimed to be benevolent, his style was quite scoundrel-like.
This can be seen from the fact that Liu De sent people to block him in the alley and then kidnapped him.
After successfully becoming the king of Champa, his heart quickly swelled again, and his lazy and lustful side gradually revealed itself.
Although Xishan City and Anling City had become two messes due to the famine, since they had already declared themselves kings, they should do something as a king, right? Even if it was just a show? The fact was that Liu De had basically made no achievements throughout the previous winter, but he was quite diligent in finding beauties to expand his harem, under the pretext of expanding the royal family of Jingguo.
It is impossible for such a lazy, lustful, shamelessly arrogant and narrow-minded person to achieve anything.
In this wave, Liu De declared himself the king. It can only be said that he was standing at the right place. Even a pig could fly, but as long as there was a slight problem later, he would be beaten back to his original form immediately.
The more Kong Daqian sees Liu De now, the more he can feel the wisdom and bravery of their king, and the more he is eager to return home.
Whenever he thought of this, Kong Daqian felt melancholy.
Now that he is in Xishan City, he really has no idea what the outside world is like.
The latest intelligence is that last year some deserters from Black Stone City fled to Xishan City. Through the information provided by the deserters, they learned that Yan Sheng’s large army was attacked by mysterious cavalry on the way.
They had no idea who won or lost, or whether Yan Sheng was dead or alive.
Kong Daqian could guess that the cavalry that attacked Yan Sheng's army was most likely from their Great Zhou, but he was not sure about the outcome.
Who is in control of Black Stone City now? What is the outcome of the fight between the Great Zhou and the tyrant?
He is now in Xishan City, and he feels like he is isolated from the world. He has no idea of the situation outside, which makes Kong Daqian a little confused about what to do.
And this "isolation from the world" was brought about by Zhou Xu alone.
Under Zhou Xu's operation, Xishan City and Anling City occupied by Liu De have been completely isolated!
If Zhou Xu, who occupied five cities here, was compared to a person with all five internal organs functioning normally, then Liu De, who occupied Xishan City and Anling City, was a seriously ill patient with problems in all five internal organs, unable to function normally, and possibly even missing several organs.
Even if he forcibly extended his life, how long could it last? This was why Zhou Xu was so confident that Liu De would not be able to hold on for long.
According to Kong Daqian's idea, Liu De responded in a rogue manner, and the people really did not buy it. If it were not for the fact that when this matter was announced, there were a group of Yasukuni soldiers guarding the area with swords in their hands, the refugees at the scene would probably have rioted on the spot.
Although the refugees in this city are almost going crazy from hunger, they are not really stupid. They are just too hungry, which has caused their thinking ability to decline. If they are given a little more time, they will be able to slowly figure things out.
In this situation, who can't see that the injured refugees are in danger? Liu De boasted too much when he first boasted about himself.
At the beginning, the people in the city were indeed very excited that he was able to overthrow the rule of the tyrant Yan Sheng and rescue them. They all thought that the most difficult days were over and good days would soon come.
Who would have thought that their hard days were far from over.
After Liu De came to power, he never fulfilled the promises he had made to them, which quickly led to a decline in the refugees' support for him.
In the final analysis, they supported Liu De in the beginning just to get rid of the rule of the tyrant Yan Sheng. To be honest, how many people in the city knew who Liu De was at that time? This also made the public support that Liu De had established very fragile. His subsequent inaction made the people in the city quickly disappointed in him.
This is also the core reason why dissatisfaction with farming incidents broke out so quickly and caused riots after the beginning of spring.
Recently, there has been unrest in the city because of his shameless behavior.
On this day, Liu De rushed to Kong Daqian's courtyard in a hurry again.
"National Master, National Master!"
Liu De's voice was heard from a long distance away, and Kong Daqian quickly put on an unfathomable look again.
Just when he was about to hear what Liu De was going to do this time, he saw Liu De slam the table, with a look of sudden enlightenment on his face.
"Master, I have figured it out! The refugees in the city are rioting because of a lack of food. I plan to send troops to capture other cities in the surrounding area to get more food!"
