Volume 2: The King's Way Chapter 133: Everyone Knows
Bai Tu's two sentences will be subject to countless criticisms.
At the same time, it should also win popularity among the common people? At least 50-50?
But in reality this is not the case. As mentioned before, during the Eastern Han and Three Kingdoms period, "fame" was a resource monopolized by the gentry. Only famous families could afford to spread their "fame"!
As for the common people? Especially the common people outside the city, the times dictate that the voices they can make are simply ignored...
Especially in this era when imperial power is difficult to reach the countryside, isn’t the white map known to the common people the same as the white map promoted by the gentry?
However, in this world, there is a glimmer of hope!
In the Chengji Mansion in Jinling, Jinling Ji, with a somewhat empty look in her eyes, nodded firmly at Yu Ji.
Then I saw... Qu'a Ji, Wu Ji, Wanling Ji, Wuhu Ji, Danyang Ji, Shanyin Ji, Shangyu Ji...
Hundreds of city girls from more than sixty counties in the four prefectures of Jiangdong, their illusory figures in the Jinling City Ji Mansion, all bloomed with brilliant brilliance at the same time. At the same time... a burst of golden light shot up into the sky from the Jinling City Ji Mansion!
Throughout Jiangdong, radiating to Huainan, and the eastern part of Jingzhou, countless people inside and outside the city saw a scene outlined in light gold emerging in the sky - it was the scene where Bai Tu ordered Zhou Tai to take down the wooden plaque.
At the same time, whether you know the words or not, the wooden plaque in the sky scene has its own speaker function, so no matter what local accent you use in daily life, you can understand it at this time.
Killing one person is like killing my father!
To rape one man is like to rape my daughter!
Even outside the affected area, this scene appeared in Central Plains, Hebei, Guanzhong, Bashu, Xiliang... at least in the city!
Bai Tu didn't know what was going on and just stared blankly at this strange sight in the sky.
"Let all the envoys know about this? How can there be 'Let all the envoys know about this'?" Lu Su was also a little confused.
Normally, this phenomenon would only occur when an emperor passes away or a new emperor ascends the throne...
Although what Bai Tu did now was earth-shattering, it was not reported to Da Han Ji at all, and... Da Han Ji could not possibly help Bai Tu achieve this extent!
"Chengji Mansion...it's Jinlingji!" Lu Lingqi said, looking in the direction of Chengji.
At the same time in Xu Du, when Cao Cao discovered the effect of "letting everyone know", he instinctively thought that Liu Xie was going to cause trouble - this time, putting Yang Biao in jail also symbolized that the "honeymoon period" between Cao Cao and Liu Xie was over.
Although they did not immediately engage in a tit-for-tat confrontation, the relationship between Liu Xie and Cao Cao had reached a freezing point at this time and was no longer as harmonious as when Liu Xie had just arrived in Xu Du.
When Cao Cao entered the palace to meet Liu Xie before, Liu Xie even said something that was tantamount to turning against him, "If you can assist me, then assist me. If you can't, then let me go."
I wonder if Liu Xie also began to suspect that it was Cao Cao's advisers who had previously stirred up the fortune of the Han Dynasty...
But soon after, Cao Cao discovered that this time it seemed to have nothing to do with Liu Xie - the passive effect of letting everyone know the news was that when people saw the scene, they could instinctively understand what this scene meant.
"Bai Tu..." Cao Cao looked at the two sentences on the wooden plaque and muttered to himself, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long while, Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Innocence alone cannot save the world! For me, for the Lord, this 'innocence' is too extravagant... When you are under my command in the future, you can show your innocence... Saint Bai!"
Although Cao Cao was amazed at Bai Tu's courage, he did not agree that this was what a ruler should do. At the same time, Cao Cao had no hostility towards Bai Tu. He also thought that he could invite Bai Tu to serve as a mascot "saint" under his command in the future, and he could do whatever he wanted.
Disagreement , even contempt, but also some envy.
In Xuzhou City, Liu Bei watched this scene and said gloomily, "I am not as good as Bai Gong!"
Jian Yong, who was free and easy-going, was also in the governor's mansion at the time. Seeing this, he quickly persuaded Liu Bei, "My lord, Bai Gong is indeed respectable, but my lord still has the important task of reviving the Han Dynasty. You must not act on impulse!"
From Liu Bei's expression, he knew that his lord was considering following Bai Tu's example. However, Jian Yong understood that if Liu Bei wanted to realize his dream, he must not isolate himself from the world's powerful people like Bai Tu did.
After hearing Jian Yong's advice, Liu Bei looked conflicted. After a long while, he said, "I am not as good as Mr. Bai... by a long shot!"
Jian Yong breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, knowing that Liu Bei had given up his previous idea . At the same time... he also felt more and more the greatness and purity of Bai Tu.
Outside the city of Yijing, Gongsun Zan, who was trapped in the trenches and had not seen his generals for a long time, was only concerned with fooling around with women and was unwilling to believe anyone. When he saw this scene, he seemed to remember something, fell to the ground and burst into tears.
Yuan Shao, who had already occupied most of the north, saw this scene and laughed at Bai Tu...
Yuan Shu of Huainan directly denounced Bai Tu as a monster and a traitor. The Zhong Dynasty became the first and only force to officially identify Bai Tu as a "false sage" and a "treacherous villain."
Liu Zhang, a fat and white man from Yizhou, saw this scene and pointed at Bai Tu and said with a smile: "Hey, this man has no father?"
An ugly man under his command looked at Liu Zhang strangely, and after a long while he said, "Maybe."
Not only princes like Cao Cao and Liu Bei had complicated expressions, but also countless scholars and warriors, no matter they came from common people, grassroots, poor families or aristocratic families, all of them were shocked and hesitant at this moment.
On the contrary, the vast majority of "simple" people do not need to be complicated.
At this time, countless common people spontaneously expressed their gratitude to Bai Yangzhou, and countless corrupt scholars angrily denounced "the collapse of rituals and music", "this is intolerable and what is not", "where do you put the king and father", and countless civil and military officials from aristocratic families had the symbol "favorability -1" jumping over their heads.
After seeing that what he had done was actually "known to everyone", Bai Tu was able to guess all this - the astonishment of the Confucian scholars was actually a reaction that Bai Tu had expected. Being able to let countless ordinary people see this scene was already an unexpected surprise!
At the same time, because of the appearance of "Xian Shi Zhiwen", Bai Tu handed over the final link of the trial to Lu Su and Wang Lang, and rushed back to the governor's mansion, and then hurried to Cheng Ji's mansion in the backyard.
Although I don't know why, this scene should be related to Jin Lingji...
When Bai Tu and Lu Lingqi just broke into Cheng Ji's mansion, they saw Jin Ling Ji fainted on the ground, and Yu Ji was guarding her.
"Yu Ji, what happened to Jinling Ji?" Bai Tu asked hurriedly.
"She forced you to activate 'Salt Envoy Knows News', and the 'Power of Ji' that was recovering has now dissipated..."
Bai Tu didn't quite understand the principle behind this, so he could only ask, "What will happen then?"
"It has now stabilized its existence, but...Jin Lingji should not be able to recover to the state when the dragon vein was still there."
Bai Tu knew before that Jin Ling Ji’s current condition was actually very bad - after more than four hundred years of continuous weakening, when Bai Tu saw her, she looked more like a wild girl than Qu A Ji did back then, and she didn’t have Qu A Ji’s liveliness, but instead looked dull and stupid.
But Lu Su said that after he repaired the dragon vein and Bai Tu rebuilt Jinling City, Jinling Ji would gradually recover and become the top city Ji...
