Han Shizu

Chapter 1774 Another Phase

Emperor Liu looked at Song Qi with oppression in his eyes. Obviously, what Song Qi was about to say would not make him happy.

Song Qi still had a solemn expression on her face, and she cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly, like the Imperial City Secretary who doesn't ask for evidence, breaks into doors and seizes households, locks up officials and people, it really corrupts the rules of the court and damages your majesty's wisdom!"

After Song Qi finished speaking, she regained her composure, lowered her head slightly, and waited quietly, as if waiting for a trial.

Everyone present had different expressions. Liu Yang frowned; Crazy, dare to take this matter to offend the emperor.

But as soon as such remonstrance came out, Zhao Kuangyi immediately realized the opportunity, an opportunity to remove the stumbling block in his official career, and he didn't need to do anything more, all he needed to do now was cheer up and watch the show quietly... …

As for Emperor Liu, his reaction was not too intense, he didn't get angry, he just glanced at Song Qi in surprise, and then said leisurely: "Song Qing's upright and straightforward words are accusing me of letting the Imperial City Secretary go? , to those who have no king, no father, lawless, ignorant and fearless people, what rules and laws do we need to teach?"

"Your Majesty, if a person breaks the law, he or she will have a judge to judge and deal with it. What has it to do with the Imperial City Division? There is no Imperial City Division in the construction of the Dahan Judiciary.

What's more, if you don't talk about the rules and regulations of the country, then what's the use of your majesty's legislation? Wouldn't your majesty's emphasis on enforcing the law and having laws to abide by before become empty words? Wouldn't those who died under the blade of law in the past be wronged..."

Hearing Song Qi's words, Emperor Liu's face finally changed obviously, his eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Song Qi, as if to confirm whether he was drunk.

Inside the vertical arch hall, it was quiet, as if everyone's breathing had stopped.Song Qi didn't expect that Emperor Liu would be able to say these words, so she was stunned for a while before boldly looking up at Emperor Liu.

Song Qi's grandnephew was among those arrested by the Imperial City Department last night.

Facing the aggressive Emperor Liu, Song Qi did not say anything, but kowtowed vigorously in response. For Song Qi, who was nearly seventy years old, this was not easy, but it was not as good as Emperor Liu's expression at this time. The attitude is more dangerous.

Emperor Liu's expression suddenly became serious, even with Song Qi's solemnity, it was unavoidable to be horrified.With her body tensed, Song Qi said in a deep voice, "I dare not!"

Hearing this, Song Qi's body tensed up, and then she cupped her hands and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing Song Qi being so oppressed by Emperor Liu, Liu Yang couldn't bear it anymore. He had always admired Song Qi's talent and character, although he didn't know why he wanted to touch Emperor Liu's eyebrows on this matter at this juncture. .

"On the surface, we talk about the issue of the law enforcement power of the Imperial City Division, but the spearhead is actually directed at me!"

It had to be said that this was a huge humiliation to a minister like Song Qi.No matter in private, it doesn't matter whether the powerful officials of the great Han are consistent with their words and deeds, impartial and selfless, or hide dirt, at least on the surface they have to be perfect, loyal and upright.

Song Qi retreated, and the atmosphere in the hall also became a little weird. Liu Yang, Zhao Kuangyi, and Wang Zhu didn't fully react.

After a long time, Emperor Liu looked at Song Qi who was kneeling on the ground again, and after a while, he became old, as if he had lost all energy.The brows were not stretched, Emperor Liu said lightly: "The floor of the Chuigong Hall is very cold, Song Qing should stop kneeling, as she is getting older, it will be bad for her health, go home and take care of her!"

As soon as Liu Yang spoke, the almost frozen atmosphere was finally shaken a bit, and a gaze calmly fell on Liu Yang, and the gloomy eyes in Emperor Liu's eyes finally became less gloomy.

No matter what thoughts Song Qi had, she wanted to speak out against the Huangcheng Secretary's arrest last night, but on the surface, at least she put on an air of public loyalty to the country.However, Emperor Liu compared Fan Zhi and Wang Pu at the beginning, affirming that the former two had a fair heart, but at the same time questioned Song Qi's bad intentions and secretly harboring personal feelings.

After a moment's pause, Emperor Liu said, "I didn't expect that Song Qing could say such things! I always thought that you are a serious and practical talent. When did you become a speech officer?" Emperor Liu said in his tone With sarcasm:

"Heh!" Upon hearing the words, Emperor Liu said mercilessly: "Song Qing's words are a bit desolate, and I can also hear a bit of grievance. Faithful and foolish king?"

Facing Emperor Liu's gaze, it was impossible for Liu Yang to say that he was not nervous at all, but he did not show timidity, but just faced it calmly.

In Emperor Liu's words, there was an intention of punishing his heart, but he did not restrain himself.Not to mention Song Qi, even Liu Yang and the three of them were a little dumbfounded.Emperor Liu hurled insults at his subordinates, scolded and cursed, and even attacked directly, but this was the first time that he was so merciless against a prime minister who held a lot of power.

And once this point is broken, then he will no longer have the face to stay in a high position, and may even be questioned.Moreover, when the question came from Emperor Liu, the situation became even more serious.

"Don't dare?" Emperor Liu's words were full of aggression: "I remember that back then, Fan Zhi and Wang Pu both spoke to me about the matter of Wu Desi. The words were sincere and heartbroken, as if I used Wu Desi , is the source of chaos in the world, it seems that if the Wu Desi is used, the big man will perish! At the beginning, I thought that the two had a common heart, and I didn't care about it, so that's all!"

Seeing that Emperor Liu was about to "execute" Song Qi, he couldn't stand by and watch, so he took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Song's character and ability are recognized by the government and the public, otherwise you would not entrust him with state affairs. I believe that what Prime Minister Song said is fair and straightforward, without selfishness, if there is any offense, if you want to use your majesty's magnanimity, you can forgive it."

After finishing speaking, he got up slowly, step by step, and slowly exited the Chuigong Palace until he disappeared from everyone's sight. The old and rickety back was reflected in everyone's minds, as if with infinite desolation.

Speaking of this, Emperor Liu obviously paused for a while, then stared at Song Qi coldly, and said almost word by word: "Now, you are talking about the Sina people in the imperial city again, do you want to follow the example of Fan and Wang?" The two of you, sell straight for loyalty? Or, your Song family has also been arrested, so you can't sit still? It's only been a night, and the court has not yet settled down, Song Qing is so impatient?"

However, Emperor Liu would not have any guilt or hesitation, his eyes were as cold as two black holes containing huge horror, without any waves.Seeing this, Song Qi smiled bitterly, her old body could no longer support her pride, she was obviously much shorter, she knelt down slowly, and said sadly: "Your Majesty has such an evaluation of this old minister, and this old minister has nothing to say."

Recalling Song Qi's figure, Liu Yang couldn't bear it, and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty!"

But Emperor Liu stretched out his hand to cut him off, and said in a deep voice: "Song Qi's words must be out of public interest, I'm a talented person, and my words are a bit harsh."

When Emperor Liu said this, before Liu Yang could relax, he heard again: "However, Song Qi can no longer use it. She is nearly [-] years old, so she should retire."

In just a few words, the big man became another prime minister. Although he is not a legitimate prime minister like Zhao Pu, Song Qi has actually assumed the responsibility of the prime minister's political affairs hall in the past year.

But at this moment in the palace, Zhao Kuangyi, who was still a little gloating, felt his scalp tingle and his heart shudder when facing Emperor Liu who dismissed Song Qi so easily.
He expected Song Qi to be unlucky, but he didn't expect that Emperor Liu's dismissal of the prime minister would be as easy as drinking water. Song Qi was like this, so what if it was Zhao Kuangyi?
Thinking about it carefully, I was terrified, and after a little deeper thinking, the gloating in Zhao Kuangyi's heart disappeared, and he kept doing mental construction, don't learn from Song Qi, don't learn from Song Qi, don't learn from Song Qi.
While being terrified, I couldn't help feeling a little burning in my heart. Song Qi needs someone to replace her when she is dismissed, don't you mean?
