But listening to what this man said, he knew he was an extraordinary person. Looking for the voice, Xia Shang changed his position, and happened to be able to see half of this man's face. Although his appearance and clothing were not good, he had a straight back and was talking happily.
There was no fear in the cage.
"Who is that?" Xia Shang couldn't help but ask.
There were several people sharing a cell next to Xia Shang. When they heard Xia Shang's questions, some ignored him, while others shook their heads. The person closest to Xia Shang said more: "Who knows? Such a person has never been seen in the capital.
.”
Xia Shang was quite surprised by these words. He originally thought that a person with such insight and courage would have made great achievements in the capital, but he did not expect that he was an unknown person. Think about it, people with practical knowledge are hidden in the city.
.
But the other party said it, and some people were dissatisfied: "You are not from the capital at first glance, how do you know what is going on in the capital? What happened today is..."
"Everyone, please be quiet. If anyone utters arrogant words, drag them out and beat me." A jailer yelled, and the scene became quiet.
Xia Shang didn't think too much, hoping that what he encountered was just a disaster like a fish in a pond.
In the prison, you don't know the passage of time outside. In the prison with only a crack, you only know the change of day and night, but you don't know the time.
At some point, several jailers came in and took away several people from the prison, including Xia Shang.
When I came out of the prison, I realized that it was slightly bright outside and there was no one on the streets of the capital yet.
It turned out that this was the Dali Temple, and the prison and court hearings were only a few steps away, and right in front. Xia Shang saw Mr. Dongyue being sent to Dali Temple first.
Where is Dali Temple?
It is the Supreme Court of Dahua, and it hears major cases affecting the world. More importantly, the people who died in Dali Temple and the strange punishments there are enough to scare away ghosts and gods. There are too many legends about Dali Temple in the capital.
, it is said that no one can come out safely from inside. The door of Dali Temple is the gate of ghosts. People go in and ghosts come out.
Obviously, the few people who were beaten up together with Xia Shang did not expect that the matter was serious enough to enter the Dali Temple. When they saw the golden signboard of the Dali Temple, their legs were so frightened that their legs became weak. Their bodies were paralyzed on the ground like mud, crying and howling.
: "Oh my God, it's unfair! I...I didn't do anything!"
Others were so frightened that they peed their pants and cried like a girl: "Please, don't take me in. I swear, I will never see Mr. Dongyue again... No... it's the old Dongyue thief."
, His affairs have nothing to do with us."
The worst one, the moment he saw Dali Temple, he fainted and died, but even if he died, he had to be dragged inside.
When they arrived at the gate of Dali Temple, the entire team immediately joined in with cries and begged for mercy.
These were the most upright and awe-inspiring celebrities in the capital at the beginning of the period, claiming to be willing to sacrifice their lives and blood for their reputation. But when they arrived in front of the Dali Temple, all their true natures were exposed.
This sobriety fell into the eyes of the officials at the gate of Dali Temple, showing contempt and ridicule.
There were more than a dozen people in the entire team, but Xia Shang and the middle-aged man who made an impassioned speech in the prison last night remained unchanged.
The other party looked at the mourning scholars around him, with sarcasm and sneer on his face.
But when he looked at Xia Shang and Xia Shang's calm and composed posture, he couldn't help but be slightly startled and nodded proactively: "Brother, your magnanimity is extraordinary, far beyond the comparison of these villains who are greedy for life and fear of death. I don't know what your name is.
, and whom do you study under?”
“You’ve gone in and you don’t know if you’ll get out, so why should you care about your name now?”
The other party smiled: "Brother, you are wise."
"Stop talking!" the officer beside him scolded, pushing the two of them into Dali Temple first.
Dali Temple is just like other imperial palaces, not much different, except that there is a sense of solemnity in the air. I don't know whether it is because there are too many wronged souls here, or it is caused by the state of mind at this moment.
It is definitely impossible for Xia Shang to say that he is not nervous. He is not able to plan everything, especially in the capital, where there are too many forces and too many uncontrollable factors. Trying to figure everything out is tantamount to
Idiots talk about dreams. The current calmness is the result of many experiences in dangerous situations in the past. At this time, Xia Shang is not only a man who has enjoyed a comfortable life in modern society, he not only has knowledge and wisdom that ordinary people do not have,
He also used an iron-clad character that ordinary people don’t possess.
This kind of mentality makes Xiang Xia Shang become more and more calm, and he is able to make calm judgments no matter in any dangerous situation.
For example, today, Xia Shang believed that he was not the protagonist in this matter, and he also believed what the people around him said yesterday.
Li Xin took such thunderous measures, not against Xia and Shang, but against the nobles in the world. He wanted to use the blood of Mr. Dongyue to frighten the power of the nobles in the world. But it was impossible for him to offend all the nobles in the world. He would never
Maybe he used the blood of so many nobles to demonstrate his dominance. Therefore, Xia Shang believed that today was a near miss.
According to what Xia and Shang knew about the development of China's five thousand years of history, fights between civil servants and military generals will always exist. Judging from the historical changes in the past dynasties, the country has been heavily armed for hundreds of years, but as time goes by, the court will gradually
Being replaced by civil servants is an inevitable development of history. And the current Dahua happens to be in the most difficult period of civil and military changes. It is also the early stage when the status of military generals declines and the gentry begins to take control of the situation.
Li Xin grew up in the military, so he naturally did not want to see civilian officials in power. He knew that even if he became the emperor, he would not be able to fully control these people who are famous for their pen and ink. Li Xin stood on the side of the generals and fought against
Conflicts between noble families are bound to occur.
In fact, Li Xin was nothing special. Just like Xia Shang knew about the long history, he was just an insignificant chess piece in it.
In the end, the nobles will definitely become the winners, but this process may last for a hundred years, or even longer. During this period, it is not known how many people will die for this battle.
Of course, Xia Shang was unwilling to participate in this long-term struggle, but it was a pity that he did not travel to a truly prosperous era. All he hoped was to ensure peace, and at the same time, when he could, he could help the world shorten the time of civil and military struggles.
However, as far as today's matter is concerned, Xia Shang has to make a difficult choice.
Li Xin's purpose was to take Mr. Dongyue's life.
His strike with this sword will not shock the world's nobles, but will always set the world's nobles on the opposite side. In the next few decades, the world's nobles will inevitably rebound strongly, and Li Xin will not be able to live in peace for the rest of his life. The process of civil and military battles will be greatly accelerated.
The people of China will also suffer a few years less hardship.
It can be said that Mr. Dongyue's death will become a victim of promoting history.
But could it be that he just watched Mr. Dongyue die without caring at all? (To be continued)
