I, Han Gaozu, actually traveled through Song Gaozong?

Chapter 38 All Liars
On the way to the palace, Master Qin met many old acquaintances.

Although the palace is not big, it takes at least a few sticks of incense to go around it.

But today, the emperor summoned him in the innermost Xuande Hall.

This journey is almost from the southernmost end of the palace to the northernmost end.

Master Qin Xiang was pitied by the emperor, so he didn't need to get off the sedan chair when he entered the palace.

Others were not treated so well. Except for Zhang Jun who could also ride a horse, the others were taking one step at a time, grinding their heels obediently.

"Qin Xiang! Qin Xiang!"

Hubu Shangshu Zhan Dafang was like a pet, after recognizing Qin Hui's sedan chair, he wagged his tail.

Regardless of his tired feet, Zhan Shangshu, who was over fifty years old, hurriedly followed Qin Hui's sedan chair.

"Qin Xiang, didn't you just say that you will go to court for three days? Why did an official announce us here again today?"

Just by listening to the voice, Qin Hui already knew the people outside.

Without even opening the curtain, the two just talked through the sedan chair.

This scene is similar to when Li Qingzhao and sisters met just now.

"Besides you and me, have you seen anyone else?"

"Taiwei Zhang...and Prince Xin'an, I didn't see anything else."

Qin Hui thought for a while, and except for Zhang Jun who was considered half of his own, the other two were his own.

"Recently, what mistakes have occurred in official affairs?"

Zhan Dafang didn't hesitate at all: "No! It's how it was done in the past, and it's still how it's done now."

"Well, let's take a look. It's not easy for the officials to think about it these days."

"Yes Yes……"

What does Lao Jiu want to do?

I haven't heard of any major events today!

All will make some trouble!
He couldn't help complaining about the emperor, Qin Xiangye completely forgot how grateful he was to His Majesty the emperor when he heard the call just now.

If you have this spare time, you should think about the business yourself!
Zhang Tonggu is lustful, although the girls by the West Lake are good, but their skills are uneven, if you want to say, you have to invite someone from the Qinhuai River.

This matter should be done urgently, and people have to be ordered to do it in a short while.

What gift should I give?
If Li Qingzhao is willing to write something, it must be enough...

Thinking of this woman makes me angry!

Su Fu?

That's it!This Su Zhonghu has been with Su Dongpo for 15 years, so he must have hidden a lot of good things.

Calligraphy and painting have a choice, so what should I give as an antique?
Should the gold and silver be given as soon as they come, or will they be given after the negotiation?

Zhang Tonggu sent someone of Su Dongpo's level, so who should we look for at Wanyan Wushu?
The more he thought about it, the bigger his head became, and Qin Xiangye only felt a little angry for a while.

I am devastated every day because of this matter of the Song Dynasty, and I have to suffer from the king's worm!
Lao Jiu doesn't teach people to worry!

"It's all bastards!"

This sentence couldn't hold back, and finally made him scold.

After scolding, the sedan chair stopped.

"Master Xiang... here, here."

"It's here, it's here, what are you stuttering?"

Walking out of the sedan chair, looking at the scene in front of him, Qin Hui realized why the eunuch had become stuttering.

At the top of the steps in front of the Xuande Hall, Lao Jiu was not wearing court clothes... it should be said that he was not wearing a coat, just sitting like this,

Not even a chair.

His hair was scattered in front of his forehead. He didn't know if he was sweating from the heat, and the strands of hair stuck to his face randomly.

The emperor's appearance and royal demeanor are all gone at this moment.

Below him, at the bottom of the steps, were kneeling people.

After a quick glance, Yang Yizhong and Liu Qi, Zhang Jun and Han Xiaozhou...

Is there a war between the two Huaihe Rivers?
No, if that's the case, why didn't I receive any news?
Looking at the other people, almost all the people from Yantie, Duzhi, and the Ministry of Household Affairs have arrived, and there are even... people from the two general consulates in Huaixi and Huaidong.

This is……

Zhan Dafang had already caught up, and he was very surprised to see this scene.

"Qin Xiang, what, what's the matter?"

Qin Hui frowned and said: "Shangshu Zhan, Hui is old and has bad legs and feet. You should go and greet the officials first."

Glancing at Xiangye Qin's sedan chair, Zhan Dafang swallowed his saliva, and ran over seriously.

"Chen Zhan Dafang..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the emperor's voice came over:

"Find a place to kneel down by yourself."

Liu Bang really wanted to laugh now.

Others are fine. At the beginning just now, he thought that corruption is inevitable, so just don't go too far.

But who knew, the first person to have a problem was the Imperial Army of the Dianqian Division.

"There are 3 people on the record, but the actual number is no more than 8000."

Yang Yizhong is very honest, very honest.

He hasn't interrogated yet, but he is good enough to confess on his own initiative.

Of the 5000 extra people, more than 2000 were empty-paid, and more than 2000 were killed in battle but not canceled.

Liu Bang can also understand such things as empty pay...to a certain extent.

But the pensions for the more than 2000 dead soldiers have not been distributed, so how can their relatives get the money!
If you can't get the money, you will be reduced to the point of being rescued by Nasi Beilou!

On the contrary, the court of the Song Dynasty continued to pay their military salaries...

I don't know whose pocket the extra difference went into!
Anyway, Yang Yizhong said he didn't take it, and Liu Bang also believed that he didn't take it.

Just the way he was, it seemed like the norm, like it wasn't a big deal.

What Liu Kai said was that Ma Junsi has 2 people on the register, the actual number...he just took over, so he doesn't know the exact number.

But I estimate that it should be similar to the situation of the Dianqian Division.

This is what everyone calls their personal soldiers, the elite of the Song Dynasty.

This is the case in front of the emperor, but what about other troops?

When Zhang Jun arrived, Liu Bang asked him:

"The Zhang family's army claims to have 10 people, not counting the Xiang soldiers, how many are there actually?"

Zhang Taiwei only thought that the emperor wanted to understand the situation, so he replied honestly:

"Although there is no one hundred thousand, but there are eighty thousand after all."

When the people from the Huaixi General Consulate arrived, Liu Bang asked him again:

"You are responsible for the food and salaries of Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun's troops. How many people did you pay for Zhang Jun's troops?"

That person didn't confront Zhang Jun either, so he dug out the ledger and replied:

12 million people.

As soon as they came and went, the gap for [-] sergeants came out.

This is not four thousand, but forty thousand!
4 people are enough for Liu Bang to raise troops from Pei County more than a dozen times!

Later, when the people in charge of the Ministry of War asked for the ledger, he said something even more outrageous:

"Yesterday, the Ministry of War ran out of water, and the ledger was burned."

So like this, Liu Bang seemed to lose all his strength.

Do you even make up another reason?

Do you even mean the fire that went missing last month?

I don't even want to cheat.

This is so fucking rotten to the root!
Qin Hui finally walked over, and it was not a problem to keep watching.

"The official family..."

"You kneel too!"

Qin Xiangye shuddered, and subconsciously fell to his knees on the ground.

"Are they all there?"

The old eunuch at the side counted and replied:

"It's all ready."

"Well," Liu Bang pulled out the saber from the waist of the imperial guard beside him,

"Or, you give me an explanation."

"Or, I will give you an explanation."

"You bastards, do you really think I'm a wimp and a cripple?!"

After saying that, he slashed at the Banner of the Forbidden Army next to him.

The upper half of the flag slid down the steps lightly,
fell in front of the crowd.
