Looking at Old Marshal's slightly red face, Xiao Letian secretly sighed in his heart. This was a common disease of the ancient literati.
Rather than saying that he was afraid of being dug up by someone else, what they were more afraid of was the reputation they would have in the future! Perhaps, in the Great Marshal Zeng's heart, if he could choose between a tomb and a reputation, he could only choose one.
Then he must have given up the tomb and wanted the reputation behind it. This was a spiritual belief of the literati, strong enough to make them forget the fear of death!
”Sigh... ”Hehe …” Xiao Letian laughed helplessly: ”Ah, Grand Marshal... The history books are easy to manage. They were all written by someone from the later generation. As long as you keep an eye on them, there shouldn't be any major problems! ”
”Besides, no matter how hard the Grand Marshal tries, it still needs seven or three hits. It's already not bad, what else is there to worry about?”
”As for this wild historical reputation … Sigh... What could not be seen through in the ancient theories of Grand Marshal? The mouths of the commoners have always been hard to deal with. With a thousand people, it's hard for everyone to speak properly. Many people's thoughts are not based on reason, but on emotions and hatred! ”
When he said those words, the color of Ceng Guofan's face gradually faded, the happiness that was on his face earlier had completely disappeared, what was left was the layers of dead qi on the face of a dying old man!
”Sigh... It was hard for people to speak … Everyone's mouth... I know. I know. I've killed too many people. ”This battle is too tragic …”
The Grand Marshal was old, he had already lost his usual cautious skills, and his ability to control his emotions was getting weaker and weaker. Hearing Xiao Letian's regretful reply, he felt as if he was a child whose eyes were filled with tears.
Xiao Letian's heart soured. Looking at this scene of the belated age of heroes, he couldn't help but say, ”Grand Marshal! You have read and understood all your life, so you can understand this! ”
”From the start of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors until now, where in the world is there a perfect person?” Qin Shi Huang, Tang Zongzong and even the Sage's teachers have been criticized by their descendants, let alone us? ”
”You want to know the reputation of the people of Wild History? Do you want to know how the old people scolded you? Fine, today, I, Xiao Letian will be the villain. I will scold on behalf of the people and then break it for you! ”
”This is the first time the people has cursed you. Then I will curse you, Ceng Guofan, for being so cruel and easy to kill.
”The second scolding from the people in this world, then I will curse you, Ceng Guofan! Despite being a Chinese, you actually kneeled down and became the Manchu's slave for Eight Banners!”
Then I will call you the feudal dynasty's Corpse Guardsman. I won't change my old and stale rules, and will break the door of China's modernization drive, delaying China's great historical opportunity! ”
”Are these three curses enough? Grand Marshal, it's not fun listening to you! ”
Good heavens! These three curses were like three silver needles piercing through his heart. They were stimulating and penetrating! Great Marshal Zeng's pale face suddenly turned red, and he covered his mouth as he started coughing.
These three curses had also provoked the old farmer at the door. Tonight's secret conversation was heard by only the old farmer, and no one else knew what was going on inside.
The Tin who was waiting for services in the yard had servants, so when they saw the normally amiable bodyguard who looked like a farmer, their faces suddenly turned furious. The hand that was holding onto the door frame suddenly became full of veins, and then, like kneading dough, he pinched off a piece of hard wood from the door frame.
Shattered from his palm, old farmer was so angry that his entire body began to tremble!
”Alright... Good. ”Hahaha...” Ceng Guofan who had been nagging for a long time suddenly laughed, he laughed until tears were flowing out of his eyes, ”Awesome! It was truly satisfying... ”You're right, that's what I'm afraid of...”
”I woke up from countless nightmares. The children and grandchildren of countless military, civilian, and people descendants were all scolding me like this! They called me a butcher, called me scum of the Chinese, scolded me for not exterminating the long hair, and even called me the scapegoat for not being able to industrialize the Qing Dynasty! ”
”Hahaha... My whole body is sick! Rather than saying that I died from exhaustion, it would be better to say that I died from being scolded to death by these little devils in my heart! ”
”This old one has been tormented to this day by these curses! Hahaha... I didn't expect you to say it out loud, directly in front of me! ”
”Sigh... Cough cough cough … [That is so weird. Now that you have scolded me in front of me, my mood suddenly turns bright!] Hahaha... This is really strange! ”
