Chapter 27 Death Admonishment(1/2)
What happened was quite unexpected.
In a hurry, even Qi Yingzhi, who had always had no expression, couldn't help but be surprised, and they all lowered their heads and looked towards the street.
A large group of people held flags and banners and marched toward the palace in a mighty manner.
The guards of the imperial city were facing a formidable enemy, and their guns were pointed at this group of people, but for some reason, no one dared to shoot.
Chu Tianshu watched the group of people gradually approach the palace, and then he saw the content of the banner.
"Kill the powerful and traitors, and clear the emperor's side"
Other banners and flags have similar contents.
"These people don't have weapons." Qin Yi said after looking at them for a while.
Qi Yingzhi nodded: "That's a petition."
"As for the petition, sit here for a day or two and gain a reputation so that you can be included in the discussion in the future."
Chu Tianshu turned around: "Sixth Miss, Master Qin, is it very common to petition?"
"It's not very common, but it will happen every two or three years. The excuses vary, but generally speaking, no matter what the name is, the purpose is always the same, which is to clear one's name.
.”
Chu Tianshu praised: "Young Master Qin is really insightful."
Qin Yi laughed. He originally wanted to learn to say a few words of humility, but noticed Qi Yingzhi standing next to him with an expression on his face, so he coughed twice: "Ahem, it's not that I have any insight. Such words
, I can’t tell either.”
"This is what my father taught me before."
"Master Qin's family is very knowledgeable." Chu Tianshu said casually and continued to look at the crowd of petitioners.
This group of people, who did not even have weapons, marched until they were close to the palace and did not stop.
Then there was silence.
The surrounding spectators also tried to keep quiet at this time, waiting to watch the show.
The leader of the petitioners left the group alone and walked at the front, facing the guards armed with guns, his pale hair swaying in the evening wind.
"Is this Cui Yizhu?" Qi Yingzhi's somewhat surprised voice came.
Chu Tianshu was stunned and looked at Qin Yi.
General petitions are for the purpose of accumulating a clear reputation, similar to the Ming Dynasty's Qiu Ting Zang and the Song Dynasty's Yang Wang.
The purpose, as Qin Yi said, is for his own future.
It's for the sake of being included in the discussion.
In this world, the political system of Dayun Dynasty is quite strange.
Basically it can be said to be a constitutional monarchy.
But in addition to having his own army, exclusive taxes, and large private lands, the emperor was also the master of the discussions among the kings.
Dayun Qiyi is the basic political system left over from the founding period of the Yun Dynasty.
That is to say, the affairs of the world are discussed and governed by seven councils.
Among them, in addition to the basic five-vote voting rights, the leader also has the right to "shelve".
That is a power similar to a veto.
Different from the emperor's ridiculously valuable "shelving" power, the exclusive rights of the other six heads of the six discussions are only to "discuss again."
That means postponing the discussion.
However, even so, as the "discussion leader", he can already be said to be the top powerful figure in Dayun.
Is such a person petitioning?
Who with eyesight can't see that this kind of thing is useless?
Chu Tianshu asked softly: "Miss Sixth, are you mistaken?"
"She's right." Qin Yi's face turned pale: "That's really Cui He and Cui Yizhu."
"So outrageous?" Chu Tianshu knew without guessing that this was a very high-level political struggle.
Moreover, this petition will definitely trigger many things.
But why?
He came to petition and carried out political attacks in an almost faceless manner.
Who was he attacking?
"Blessed by our ancestors." Cui He spoke, his old voice drifting in the evening wind, with a sense of confusion and helplessness.
"Our ancestors have blessed Dayun. Since the founding of our Yun Dynasty, there have been nineteen emperors and eleven assistants in the past two hundred and twenty-six years."
"We have launched wars with foreign countries sixty-nine times."
"but."
Cui He's voice began to be filled with anger: "However, among these sixty-nine wars, 21 were caused by neighboring countries asking for help. I, Dayun, uphold the benevolence and righteousness, carry out rescue, send troops to fight abroad, and guard the territory of the subject country.
,sovereignty."
"In these twenty-one wars, I, Dayun, will be victorious and conquerable!"
"In these twenty-one battles, I, Dayun, have been praised by the world, and I am worthy of being the sect leader of all nations."
"These twenty-one wars happened to me, in my first two hundred and seven years as Dayun!"
"And the remaining forty-eight times."
"The whole forty-eight wars!"
"They all happened in these nineteen years!"
"That's more than two battles a year!"
"These wars are all for the selfish interests of the powerful."
"Use guns and cannons to open the country's borders, open up the markets of neighboring countries, maliciously dump, and arbitrarily release production."
"Plundering the people's fat and their anointing."
"It wastes money and wastes people."
"It can be the source of turmoil in the world."
"When did I, Dayun, fall from being the leader of all nations to becoming the bane of the world?"
"Everyone in the world gnashes their teeth when they mention me, Dayun, and their hatred surges like an endless river."
"When the common people talk about my great cloud, they are all weak and sifting through chaff, and they are afraid of the majestic and motionless mountain."
"I, Dayun, when did I become such a beast, a country of beasts?"
"These nineteen years, these forty-eight battles."
"This endless injustice and the disasters in the world are all caused by Qin Zheng!"
"This man is a tiger, a wolf, and a beast!"
"You want to put my great cloud in eternal catastrophe!"
"Your Majesty Cui He, I will give you my advice today."
The white-haired old man tremblingly took off his official uniform, removed his crown, and carefully folded the clothes.
"I, Cui He, advise your majesty to kill Qin Zheng, stop foreign wars, cultivate people's livelihood, and communicate with foreign countries."
"To reassure the people of the world."
"To inherit the virtues of our ancestors."
"Cui He."
"I beg your Majesty the Emperor to congratulate me on this matter."
The old man said, walking towards the palace step by step.
None of the guards in the imperial city dared to step forward to stop him.
However, the palace on the city tower reacted very quickly. They immediately closed the palace door and then hid and pretended to be dead. No matter what Cui He said below, they just didn't show up and didn't intend to open the door.
Cui He had known this for a long time and was neither disappointed nor hopeful.
He actually knows that in Dayun today, everyone is eager for war.
Without war, how could so many domestic goods be sold?
With so many slave labor in the country, where can we find the supply?
How to fill the shortfall that has been brought up for many years in the debate?
But, when did Dayun become like this?
To be continued...
