Chapter 123 Liu Yan's death

Liu Yan was dismissed from office, and the house used to be full of people in the middle of the night, but now it suddenly became deserted, without even a ghost. Liu Yan was bored in the house for three days. During the day, he took the book and read it repeatedly. No one paid attention to him. Howling, like howling a wolf, shrill and chilling. Some people said he was crazy, some said he had hysteria, some said he was possessed by the Da Luo God. Three days later in the evening, I met him halfway up the mountain, with messy hair and unshaven beard, but he was in good spirits. He held my hand, his eyes were shining, and he said, Brother Hei, I finally found it, the magic weapon of Guotai Minan.

I was afraid that people would see that Brother Song had a bad ear, so I wanted to leave quickly. He held my hand and talked a lot. After watching it for a few days, I finally realized the true meaning of yin and yang. Only mutual restraint is the kingly way, and it is said that the court is Yang and the people are Yin. Only by enlightening the wisdom of the people, allowing the common people to participate in government affairs, and mutual restraint with the court, can the community last forever and the people can live in peace.After the guy finished speaking, he happily slipped down the mountain.

After Liu Yan came down from the mountain, he wandered around to give lectures. This guy was outstanding in eloquence, and he paid for his own food. At that time, there were many followers and many apprentices. All the old and young women and children called him a master and worshiped him. Temple statue, saying that he is Ziwei Xing descended to earth, I vaguely feel that it is inappropriate, this guy seems to be making a big fuss. Sure enough, one morning, Liu Yan led tens of thousands of common people to break through the upper three barriers, and flocked to the entrance of the Juyi Hall. The crowd was excited and shouted loudly, calling for the establishment of a commoner courtyard, which would be filled by the common people. The commoner courtyard has the final say.

An emergency meeting was called in the Juyi Hall. When Chao Tianwang saw the crowd, he immediately gave up and wanted to compromise with Liu Yan.Brother Song insisted that there would be no compromise. Chao Tianwang said that tens of thousands of people would flood the Juyi Hall with just one mouthful of spittle. Brother Song said with a sneer, you don’t know what I mean to ordinary people?If you give it some sunshine, it will be brilliant, if you give it two points of color, you will dare to open a dyeing workshop. If you give it a knife, you will immediately pretend to be a grandson on the ground.

Brother Song ordered me to arrest Liu Yan immediately and take him to Xishan to behead him. At the same time, he sent an order to his general: the first offender must be punished, and the threat will not be questioned! I led five hundred armored troops into the crowd, rushed to the front of the stage, grabbed Liu Yan, tied him up, pronounced the death penalty, and announced the order of Brother Song at the same time. The crowd that was still full of voices just now fell silent immediately. At that moment, I stood on the stage and looked at the dense crowd, my heart was beating wildly, my palms were full of sweat, and the hand holding the ax was trembling.

If one person stood up and raised his arms and shouted "Fight with them", it is estimated that the five hundred of us would immediately become meat sauce.Or pretend to be a hero and get beaten to death? When I was thinking nervously, Zhou Tong, Liu Yan's number one believer, rushed out from the crowd. I was so nervous at the time, thinking that it was not worth losing my life for this matter, and I was about to beg for mercy, my knees were bent. Unexpectedly, Zhou Tong Instead of rushing towards me, he rushed towards Liu Yan, slapped him twice, pointed at his nose and cursed: You liar, you have deceived everyone...

Everyone reacted immediately, rushed up to punch and kick Liu Yan, this group of people hit too hard, and greeted the next three ways, Liu Yan was beaten out of shape. I escorted Liu Yan to the back mountain. Liu Yan asked for his whole body, and I agreed. It was late autumn, all the leaves had fallen, and the scene was chilling. The bare branches swayed back and forth in the mountain wind, humming, and a few leaves hung on the treetops, shaking alone and constantly. The three-foot white plank was hung on the tree, Liu Yan turned his head to stare at the sunset in the west, tears poured down, the whole mountain was covered in the crimson sunset, Liu Yan's body was thin, the mountain wind blew by, his beard and hair were disheveled.

Liu Yan choked up and said, I studied since I was a child, devoted myself to the imperial examinations, was a gold medal in high school when I was young, and after I became an official, I dedicated myself to serving the people. To die, look up to the sky, bow down to the ground, but end up like this, I don’t know if I’m wrong. When Liu Yan said this, he let out a long sigh, and his body flew into the air. Liu Yan is right, and his reasoning is also right. His mistake is that he did not recognize the truth about our people. Our people are ignorant, greedy, and selfish, which cannot be awakened by blood.

I turned around and left, halfway up the mountain, it was half dark, and I couldn't help but look back, the cold fog on the mountain was light, the shadows of the trees were flickering, a white fuzzy figure was hanging on the tree, swaying back and forth in the wind. That figure, who had been studying hard for twelve years, was determined to serve the country faithfully! That figure once fulfilled his duty and vowed to serve the people all his life! That figure, looking back, is already hazy!
