I, Han Gaozu, actually traveled through Song Gaozong?

Chapter 36 Kill or not kill
By mourning the people in the city, Liu Bang stopped the morning court for three days.

It's not that he's lazy...well, there's some.

Returning to the palace from Sibei Tower last night, she told Wang Chan about the livelihood she had made for her father, and Wang Jieyu was so moved that she worked very hard.

Even though Liu Ji asked himself to be very capable, he had to surrender many times.

This is one, and the other is that the officials of the Song Dynasty are not very capable, and the people in the court are either Qin Hui's mouthpieces, or they just don't speak up.

All of them, like themselves, were waiting for Jin Ren and Yue Fei.

If you say this all morning, you can't get to the point.

In this case, it is better to find someone by yourself, and if you want to ask anything, just ask.

There is no sun today, and the weather is not only not cool, but rather sweltering.

Liu Bang didn't wear a robe, but only an inner suit, and his hair was not neatly combed, and two strands of hair fell on the side of his forehead.

Although it felt a little inappropriate, even Xin Ciying didn't dare to speak nonsense...he was afraid of being gagged.

However, it still made a few people in the Xuande Hall secretly sigh:

Looks like a good farmer.

"The rest of that person's party has fallen into my hands. I have also investigated the people who often go in and out of the Sibei Building in Lin'an. At present, a total of 72 people have been detained by the Dianqian Division, and 18 people are still seriously injured. The remaining 63 people do not want to surrender. , has been executed."

After a pause, Yang Yizhong continued: "After removing the 33 prostitutes on the flower boat, the remaining 21 who can speak are all old and weak."

Liu Bang twisted his neck and asked, "Have you been interrogated? How about Mingzhou?"

"I've asked questions overnight, and everyone's mouths are tight, but the punishment hasn't been executed yet. As for Mingzhou... Zhao Dushi hasn't sent any news yet. It seems that people from the Infantry Division will arrive in Mingzhou later today."

There is a distance of four to five hundred miles from Lin'an to Mingzhou, but fortunately, there is a waterway, which can save a lot of time.

Guo Yaoshi's ever-victorious army could not be used by him, which was the most painful thing for Liu Bang.

Or don't let yourself know about it, if you know it, you can't get it... This is the same feeling as when he met Yu Ji back then.

"Officials..." Liu Kai, like Yang Yizhong, was obedient and honest, and put on his filial piety, so he said at this moment,
"Guo Yaoshi, a national traitor, has taken this man this time, shouldn't the common people know?"

Liu Bang understood what he meant. The Jingkang Rebellion was caused by this person. The appearance of this person at this time will undoubtedly wash away some of the faults of the Zhao family.

As a courtier, he is still considerate.

But before Liu Bang could think it over, Xin Ciying, who had not yet taken office, interjected, "What Liu Du envoy said is true! Guo Yaoshi should definitely be punished, and the officials must not be merciful."

"This thief is a family slave with three surnames. The first emperor treated him so favorably, but he steals the country and sells the owner. Although he is a Han son, he grew up in the Liao and Jin lands, no different from the Jurchen Khitan."

"The bastard is also, it should be killed!"

Master Xin became more and more angry, until the last two words were roared out.

Like many people, he hated Jinren, Guo Yaoshi, generals who surrendered without a fight, and even Zhong Shidao who died of illness.

Only did not hate the emperor.

Perhaps, this is the benefit of Confucianism.

However, he wanted to kill Guo Yaoshi so much, but Liu Bang immediately figured out the kid's intentions.

Guo Yaoshi is still from the Kingdom of Jin in name, even if the people of the Kingdom of Jin have abandoned him long ago, if he is killed in front of all the people of the Song Dynasty, it will undoubtedly give the Kingdom of Jin a chance to perform.

Xin Ciying either wanted to force himself to express his intentions, or he wanted to strengthen his determination for the Northern Expedition.

Little thing, you want to use Lao Tzu as a swordsman, don't you?
Not in a hurry to express his opinion, Liu Bang asked Yang Yizhong: "What do you think?"

The latter frowned slightly, his and Xin Ciying's positions were undoubtedly the same.

Killing Guo Yaoshi is nothing harmful to them.

but……

"The officials, including the three injured by Qin Liu, those 33 prostitutes...all have other backgrounds."

Liu Bang stared at him for a long time, which made Yang Du's forehead sweat.

"Yang Yizhong, if you feel that the job you have received is not satisfactory, you can write a resignation letter yourself."

Upon hearing the words, Du Envoy Yang immediately knelt down and said, "It's not that I'm hiding something, it's just, it's just..."

"Just what?"

In Liu Bang's eyes at this time, Yang Yizhong and Xin Ciying meant the same thing.

He didn't finish what he said before, and he also reported that he wanted to kill Guo Yaoshi and strive to start a war with the Jinren.

Yang Yizhong paused again and again... The weather was already making people irritable, and Liu Bang was about to curse, but he said:

"The 33 prostitutes are family members of fallen soldiers from various armies..."

Liu Kai looked at Yang Yizhong suspiciously, and Xin Ciying was also amazed.

Yang Yizhong gritted his teeth: "There was no punishment, but some of them were soft-spoken and told all about their origins."

"Since the fifth year of Shaoxing, Sibei Tower has been looking for women of this status in Lianghuai... At the beginning, they just gave them some food and water to keep them safe."

"Later, they were allowed to board the boat and earn money by themselves."

"Their fathers, elder brothers, husbands... sons, some are from the Zhang family army, some were under the jurisdiction of Xiang Guangshi before, and some are from the Han family army."

"Up to now, they still don't know what they have committed... They just pretended to offend Prime Minister Qin. The three people who were flogged by Qin Liu wanted to sacrifice their own lives in exchange for the Sibei Building. comprehensive."

Liu Bang looked at the gloomy sky outside, and asked after a while:
"Is it forced?"

Yang Yizhong said: "No, according to what they said, at first they wanted to save some expenses for Sibei Building, and then someone took a fancy to some of them and took them back home. Later, they were Rushing to do it."

It looked like it was about to rain, but even though it was only noon, the sky was almost completely dark.

The lady in charge of the lamp lit candles... I am afraid that only the royal family can light dozens of such things at once.

The Hall of Xuande was terribly quiet, from the moment Yang Yizhong knelt down, the three of them never dared to look at the emperor's face again.

"Get up."

It's not a problem to make him kneel like this, and Liu Bang didn't really want to get angry with him.

Just thinking, when the three prostitutes were about to be stripped by Qin Liu on the street, what those women said,
'It's better to die. '

He also remembered that the girl from the Chong family was not even afraid of death, but after she threatened her in the same way, she would resort to everything.

In such a place where chastity is so important, those women in the Sibei building sold themselves one by one.

They don't have to go.

But they went.

Whenever Liu Bang felt that he had touched the bottom line of the Song Dynasty, it would often come out with a lower bottom line.

Most importantly, these people are relatives of Song soldiers.

They even sold their lives to Song Guo, but they still failed to protect their family members.

If this matter breaks out... Even if there are ten more Huaixi military coups and one hundred more Li Qiong, it would not be surprising.

"Reporting the military supplies of each army, the military pay and food allocated to each army over the years, and the details of the expenditure submitted by each army every year..."

"check!"

His voice was so indifferent that even Xin Ciying, the long-term companion who lived beside the king, couldn't help shivering.
