NOVEL NEXT Chapter 158
A few days later, the result of the martial arts competition at the court was also heard by Zhang Fu. The first place was Ji Ling, the guard sent by the Yuan family, and the top ten were basically sent by aristocratic families.
However, there was no aristocratic family child, and they were basically guards from various aristocratic families. This result was acceptable to Zhang Fu.
Zhang Fu didn't know about the others, but Ji Ling was indeed a real talent and a great general. At least the gold content of the first place was still acceptable.
"By the way, where are those loyal and patriotic contestants? Why don't I see their names on the list of the top 100?"
Zhang Fu wrote down their names early, and there was no one of them in the top 100.
Guo Jia smiled and said, "My lord, those people were eliminated in the preliminary round. The top 100 are all eligible for titles or official positions. How can the aristocratic families give them to outsiders!"
Zhang Fu nodded. He understood that aristocratic families, aristocratic families, have contributed to the destruction of the Han Dynasty.
But this is indeed a good thing for himself and the Yellow Turban Army.
"In this case, let's publicize it and let the people of the world see the true face of the court!" Zhang Fu believed that after this time, some people would definitely lose confidence in the Han Dynasty.
"Yes, my lord!" Guo Jia and Jia Xu both accepted the order in unison. They liked to do this kind of thing the most.
It doesn't take any effort. Just tell the world the facts and the comparison between the two.
......
With the help of Guo Jia and Jia Xu, the whole world began to discuss the two martial arts competitions.
"Have you heard? The Yellow Turban Army is holding a martial arts competition!" A businessman said excitedly.
"Really? That was really lively!" another person echoed.
"I also heard that this martial arts competition was very fair and just, without any internal manipulation. As long as you have the ability, you can win." A young man added.
"Yes, in comparison, the martial arts competition of the court is too unfair." Someone complained.
"That's right, those capable people who are truly loyal to the emperor and the country can't even get into the rankings, but those who are loyal to the family and the nobles have obtained titles and official positions." An old man said angrily.
"If this goes on, how can the country be good?" A scholar said worriedly.
"Alas, the world is getting more and more chaotic now." Someone sighed.
"However, the martial arts competition of the Yellow Turban Army has given us some hope." A young man said with expectation.
"Yes, maybe they can bring some changes." Others nodded in agreement.
At the same time, in another place, a group of people were also talking about this topic.
"Do you know? The Yellow Turban Army's martial arts competition attracted many heroes!" said a man in the martial arts world.
"Yes, it is said that the scene is very spectacular." Another person responded.
"It's a pity that ordinary people like us can only listen." A civilian said helplessly.
"However, the court's martial arts competition is too disappointing." Someone complained.
"That's right, those noble families only think about their own interests and don't care about the safety of the country at all." A knight said indignantly.
"Humph, if this goes on, the world will be in chaos sooner or later." An old man shook his head and sighed.
"I hope the Yellow Turban Army can overthrow these corrupt forces and give us a new future." A young man said confidently.
In every corner, people are enthusiastically discussing the Yellow Turban Army's martial arts competition and the court's martial arts competition.
For the former, everyone is full of curiosity and expectation; for the latter, there are endless complaints and dissatisfaction.
In this case, public opinion began to lean towards the Yellow Turban Army, exerting strong pressure on the court and the noble families.
As time went on, this situation became more and more serious.
Many people who originally had a glimmer of hope for the court gradually lost their patience.
They began to wonder whether continuing to support the court would put them in a deeper predicament.
The Yellow Turban Army took the opportunity to expand its influence, constantly promoting its own ideas and propositions to attract more people to join.
However, the court did not realize the seriousness of the problem. They were still immersed in their own power games and turned a deaf ear to the voices of the people.
The nobles of the aristocratic families went even further, using their power and wealth to further manipulate the results of the martial arts competition, which further intensified social contradictions and brought people's dissatisfaction with the court to a peak.
Finally, by chance, a brave scholar stood up.
He used his pen as a sword and wrote a passionate article.The impassioned article denounced the corruption and incompetence of the court.
The article quickly spread throughout the country and caused a huge response. People responded one after another, demanding that the court reform, severely punish corrupt officials, and restore the fair and just martial arts competition system.
Faced with such surging public opinion, the court had to respond. They began to investigate the fraud in the martial arts competition and punish the officials involved.
However, under the operation of Yuan Wei, Zhang Rang, and He Jin, only some officials who were not serious were pushed out to take the blame, and the titles and official positions promised by the court in the martial arts competition were also maintained under their strong demands.
At the same time, the court also announced that it would reorganize a martial arts competition to ensure the fairness and transparency of the competition.
However, it was too late. The people's trust in the court had disappeared, and they no longer believed that the court could solve the problem.
Instead, they placed their hopes on the Yellow Turban Army, believing that only they could bring real change.
In this context, the Yellow Turban Army's momentum grew day by day. They not only won the competition, but also won the hearts of the people.
Many people began to join the Yellow Turban Army and provide them with various kinds of help, while the court fell into an unprecedented crisis, facing challenges and pressures from all sides.
"Damn it!" Liu Hong was very angry now. The competition, which was originally held in a good arena, was turned into this by them.
Now the court is caught in a storm of public opinion, but Liu Hong doesn't know what to do, and he is very helpless.
.......
In this turbulent era, people's thinking has gradually changed. They began to realize that only through change can they get rid of the status quo and achieve a better life.
The Yellow Turban Army is the promoter of this change. They have proved their strength and determination with their actions.
Therefore, more and more people choose to stand on the side of the Yellow Turban Army and pursue a better future together.
