Xiu Xian: I can reincarnate in the heavens

Chapter 72

Greed for a tael of silver is also greed.

If the crimes of the "honest officials" in the court are announced to the world, the common people will only say that the killing is good.

Therefore, Emperor Chongming's killing of any official in the imperial court was justified and justified, without injustice...

After Commander Liu had finished thinking about the ups and downs in the temple and rivers and lakes, Ouyang Shuda, who was seated in the pavilion beside him, had already written the national policy with a pen, and passed it on to his confidant who was with him.

"Let's go and say goodbye..."

"It should be that the mountains are far away, and we will never see each other again."

"Teacher is old, and there are a lot of scissors and thieves blocking the road. Why don't you send a few servants to carry water for you if you do your best?"

Scanning the handwriting on the memorial, Commander Liu put it in his sleeve, then looked at Ouyang Zaizhi with concern, and made the call.

"No need."

Ouyang Zai stood up and walked to the pavilion, "I'm already a national traitor, and these little thieves should be afraid of me, not me afraid of them."

After all the good words, Commander Liu did not insist.

He got on his horse, led a group of Tiqi through the rain, and headed north to Shenjing.

It's cold in spring.

The clothes are thin.

Ouyang Zaizhi has reached the age of seventy and cannot stand the rain or the cold.The old servant took off his robe from the carriage and quietly put it on his shoulders.

"Master, get in the carriage, cow...I'll drive."

The old servant said in a low voice.

The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate.

Once, in Shenjing, he was also a guest of the major forces.

But when Ouyang Shuda resigned, his power also disappeared.However, he was not upset and was still willing to serve his master wholeheartedly.

"it is good."

Ouyang Zaizhi nodded, but he didn't refuse.

He walked to the carriage, stepped on the old servant's back, and staggered into the carriage...

As soon as he got on the shaft of the chariot, he burst into tears.

According to the people coming and going in the horse post, pedestrians turned their heads frequently when they heard the crying.

However, pedestrians didn't dare to pay special attention. Ouyang Shuda, who was taken care of by Si Tiqi, the night watchman, must be either rich or expensive, so they only dared to look sideways and take a look.

"Why is Daddy crying?"

Ouyang Pan'an asked his father.

"Father is crying..."

"When I cried, I have been in office for forty years, and I became a thief of the country."

"Second cry... the pillar of the court will collapse from now on, your majesty will no longer have a shelter, and the country will perish. I'm afraid... the time will not be far away..."

"Three cries...Thieves exist in all directions, but the old man is old, and he no longer has the ability to level the four directions with his sword."

Ouyang Zaizhi wiped the old tears from the corners of his eyes lightly, and wailed loudly on purpose.

"Please come in quickly, Daddy..."

"The rain outside here is wet and cold, but you dare not freeze your bones, Daddy."

Hearing this, Ouyang Pan'an seemed to realize something.

She quickly invited Ouyang Zaizhi into the car, and then told the old servant to abandon the cattle and leave, and rush to Caohe as quickly as possible without any delay.

……

Inside the ban, Xuanhua Palace.

Emperor Chongming sat in the main seat. He scooped egg custard with a spoon, and while eating, he listened to Commander Liu's report.When there was only leftovers left in the bowl, he wiped the corners of his mouth with a brocade handkerchief, and said with a slight smile: "This old thief was still talking nonsense before he died. The thieves are just the reason why the officials forced the people to rebel, if all the officials in the world are as clean as Han Taipu and others, why is the current situation like this..."

"but……"

His tone turned cold, "Could it be that Ouyang Zaizhi was worried that I would kill him to silence him? Otherwise, why did he leave so fast? This handsome old man with a beard, who does he think I am?"

"Am I a mean and ungrateful person?"

Emperor Chongming slapped the table angrily, Long Yan was not happy.

Commander Liu, His Highness who was waiting with his head down, twitched his mouth when he heard these words.

Since Emperor Chongming ascended the throne.

There are many more ministers executed than in the previous dynasty, and there are too many offenders and female relatives of the Jiaofang Division to fit in.As a last resort, I can only sell some less important female relatives of prisoners to other brothels and sorcerers' workshops, so as to make room for the new female relatives of criminal officers.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

"This is green vegetables grown by my concubine, fried vegetarian food."

Concubine Han Pingting walked over with a lacquered wooden tray. She was dressed in plain clothes, which was quite different from the luxurious concubines in the harem.

It's just that her face is dimpled and beautiful, even if she is dressed frugally, she can't hide her beauty.

"Concubine Ai, I'm sorry for you."

Seeing Concubine Han's attire, Emperor Chongming couldn't bear it, and sighed softly.

"Concubine... not bitter..."

Concubine Han hesitated for a moment, then replied.

In fact, what she said was true, she was really not bitter.

With the support of her natal family, no matter how poor she is, she will not be reduced to the point where she eats chaff and swallows vegetables.According to her understanding, the glass workshop in the Han Mansion earns a thousand taels of silver a day.It's enough for Han Fu to give her a little bit of food and drink well.

It's just who made Emperor Chongming like this tune.

She can only flatter her and win the favor of Emperor Chongming.

"Because of business, I am late, and the egg custard is cold..."

"However, these vegetarian dishes cooked by Aifei are good, quite to my liking."

Emperor Chongming picked up a few dishes with jade chopsticks, tasted a few mouthfuls, and praised.

Concubine Han forced a smile beside her.

She was born in a wealthy family, so how could she touch the spring water with her fingers.

These dishes seem to be vegetarian dishes, but they are actually vegetarian banquets prepared by the famous chef of Yanyu Temple in the south of the Yangtze River invited by the Han family.A dish is more than twice or twice as expensive as a simple meat dish.

For the refreshing broth alone, rare ingredients such as bird's nest, Liao ginseng, velvet antler, etc. are used.

This dish will cost dozens of taels of silver.

"His Majesty……"

"Then how will Mr. Ouyang deal with it?"

Commander Liu asked after Emperor Chongming finished eating.

"Well……"

"He said that my country is at stake, so I let him see how I govern the country. Now that he is a mediocre and corrupt official, the court is full of people, and it won't take long for the river to be cleared."

Emperor Chongming smiled lightly and replied.

Fengxi Country has sixteen rivers and mountains, and Guanxi Road is just an insignificant one. Every year in the barren and disaster-prone Kansai Road, instead of collecting taxes, it has to pay money...

The bandit army occupying the barren land must be overwhelmed.

However, the imperial court has not lost the tax-heavy land in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are [-] cavalry in the northern part of the country.

These iron cavalry outside the pass, experienced hundreds of battles, are not comparable to the mere imperial guards.

The advantage lies in the imperial court, what can the bandits use to win?
"Mr. Ouyang..."

"Disciple...the only things I can do for you are these."

After hearing this, Commander Liu breathed a sigh of relief, said "The emperor is holy", and then slowly exited the hall.

……

Kansai Road.

Mourning the Heavenly King's Mansion.

After Xu Xing proclaimed himself a minister to the imperial court and waited for Zhao'an, the conflict between the local faction and the foreign faction in Siming Mountain became more and more serious.As the backbone of the two factions, the Mourning King and Xingtian King also gradually drifted away because of this.

Under the peaceful atmosphere, there is a murderous atmosphere.

"The King..."

"If you hesitate any longer, Xing Tianwang will do it."

In the meeting hall, Siming Mountain's native faction gathered together, and Ling Buyan, as a veteran minister of the Mourning King, took the lead in attacking Yao Dang, the King of Mourning, and forced Yao Dang to take action.
