Chapter 1189
But he was somewhat fortunate that Gao Yang did not join the army, and the intersection between them was not great, otherwise he would really have no face to face Gao Yang.
A phrase like "Your father owes dung and won't eat it" would be enough to make him unable to lift his head.
Wang Zhong, upon hearing this, took a deep breath and said, "Forget it. This time my methods were indeed a bit despicable, and I made big talk. Let them scold me. Anyway, I have so many lice on me that I don't itch. They will stop after scolding for a few days."
"Human nature is like this. I have figured it out."
Wang Zhong said very stubbornly.
Some time ago, even in front of all the officials, he made wild statements, and didn't it settle down in the end? It's just that compared to that, he has now aroused public anger.
This oath, anyway, he said it smoothly, and it was very useful. Besides, who makes an oath to eat dung and really goes all out to eat it?
A joke!
But at this time, the Wang Mansion steward, Uncle Wang, hurried forward, his face panicked.
"Master, something bad has happened!"
"Many commoners have come outside, and more and more people are surrounding our Wang Mansion, and someone is pointing at the mansion and scolding the master for being a coward!"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Wang Zhong and Wang Xiao were both shocked.
Especially Wang Zhong, he looked incredulous, "What?"
"Someone is in front of the mansion gate, scolding me for being a coward?"
"Who is this, what is their status, to dare to scold me like this? Do they not want their lives?"
Uncle Wang shook his head and said, "I don't know specifically, but they look like a scholar of humble origins, dressed very poorly!"
"But the scolding is very nasty."
Wang Zhong, upon hearing this, became even more angry.
He was already filled with evil fire in his stomach and had nowhere to vent. Now that some poor scholar from somewhere dared to point at his General's Mansion and scold him, he was almost exploding with anger!
"How bold!"
"Let's go. I want to see who is so brave. Once I go out, let's see if he dares to be so arrogant in front of me!"
Wang Zhong and Wang Xiao stepped forward, followed by a large group of guards.
Soon.
The mansion gate opened.
Wang Zhong saw at a glance that in front of the crowd of commoners, there was a young man wearing a plain white robe, standing straight, at the very front!
When he saw him.
Chi Potian stretched out his finger, pointed at him, and scolded him bitterly, "Scoundrel!"
"You brat!"
"You are unworthy of being a Great General of Da Qian, unworthy of being a son. You are ungrateful to His Majesty above, and ungrateful to the commoners of the world below. You make an oath and do not follow it—this is being unbenevolent. You go back on your word in front of the Emperor—this is being disloyal. You scheme against the Duke of Ding—this is being unrighteous. The ancestors of the Wang family gave birth to you and named you Wang Zhong, yet you disregard your oath and deceive the Emperor—this is being unfilial!"
"You unloyal, unfilial, unbenevolent, and unrighteous person, you actually dare to come out!"
Wang Zhong, upon hearing this scolding, was almost exploding with anger.
This scolding was too dirty.
He was just about to explode, but suddenly a stench came to his nose.
He swept his gaze and saw that beside Chi Potian, there were several dung buckets, emitting an intoxicating smell.
Wang Zhong's face changed drastically, and he stared at Chi Potian with extreme horror.
The wind is blowing, the Yi River is cold, today I eat and never return!
Chi Potian stood with his hands behind his back, straightened his waist, and said loudly to the scholars and commoners watching, "When the Living Yama was governing, I had eyes but failed to see, and once questioned the Living Yama for putting on a show, so I made a Heavenly Oath!"
"If the Living Yama is truly for the commoners, I will eat dung while doing a handstand, and eat it spirally!"
"A man makes a promise and does not keep it—how is that different from a eunuch?"
"Today, I, Han Lin scholar Chi Potian, have come to fulfill my oath!"
"Brother Huang, Brother Lin, help me!"
Huang Zhizhan and Lin Shuhan first looked at Wang Zhong with disdain, then stepped forward.
Under the incredulous gaze of the crowd and the terrified eyes of Wang Zhong, Chi Potian began to do a handstand.
For a time.
The world spun, and it seemed as if the world had been turned upside down.
Chi Potian took a deep breath and shouted, "If heaven did not give birth to me, Chi Potian, the oath would be like a long night for eternity—bring the dung!"
Boom!
Wang Zhong was so shocked that he sat on the ground.
As soon as this move was made.
Wang Zhong knew in his heart that his life was over!
In the crowd, a historian saw this scene and wrote with his brush.
In the first year of Kaiyuan of Da Qian, between autumn and winter, in the east of Changancheng, a strange event occurred. The Enemy-Breaking General Wang Zhong made wild oaths and repeatedly failed to follow them, and was scolded by the Han Lin scholar Chi Potian for being an unloyal, unfilial, unbenevolent, and unrighteous person. He dared not move, his eyes filled with fear, his whole body trembling, unable to speak.
The Han Lin scholar Chi Potian, because he had made an oath, shouted "If heaven did not give birth to me, Chi Potian, the oath would be like a long night for eternity—bring the dung!", called Huang Zhizhan and Lin Shuhan to help him, and actually did a handstand, intending to eat dung. The onlookers were all dumbfounded, their faces showing horror. Wang Zhong's son, Wang Xiao, wanted his father to prove the Great Way of the Oath, but was beaten instead and dared not speak. During this, a historian was on the side, writing down these absurd things, leaving them for later generations to see, perhaps as a joke!"
