Chapter 39 The Wrath of the Commoner

Qin Xiangye kept scolding himself in his heart.

Why, I was frightened by Lao Jiu!
What kind of thing is he, can you still not know yourself?
It's all right now, it's easy to kneel down, but it's hard to stand up again.

That's what I said, but the appearance of Lao Jiu just now is indeed a bit scary.

After figuring out the reason for the emperor's madness, Qin Hui became more relaxed.

Without him, it's not something Lao Jiu can do, and neither can he.

How good it is to turn a blind eye and close one eye to be a foolish emperor, if you take it seriously, you have to figure everything out...

People from Taizu's lineage are all staring at this position.

After making such calculations in his heart, when he looked at the disheveled emperor again, Qin Xiangye felt that he was a little pitiful.

Everyone lowered their heads, as did the guards beside them.

The emperor's knife did not get the explanation he wanted... After a short time of half a stick of incense, the people in front of the Xuande Hall were silent except for silence.

Don't be angry, it's fake.

No one is perfect, and the world is not black and white. Liu Bang knows this truth.

From the standpoint of the emperor, he felt that he was very open-minded, very open-minded.

If the first emperor came instead...

But even so, he was directly regarded as a fool.

He didn't know if Zhao Gou would bear it, anyway, he wouldn't.

He is Liu Bang, not Zhao Gou.

Looking at the ministers of the Song Dynasty, Liu Bang walked down the steps.

He clamped the handle of the knife with his index finger and middle finger, letting the blade rub against the ground.

Make a sound of 'clang, clang, clang'.

With every step, the voice sounded; every time it sounded, everyone's heart beat faster.

Although Qin Hui kept telling himself that Lao Jiu is a guy who is strong on the outside but capable on the outside, he must not be intimidated by him.

But it was still unavoidable to control himself, and his eyelids kept twitching.

"So, no one wants to talk about whose pocket this empty salary went into, right?"

"Zhang Jun, do you know?"

Zhang Taiwei, whose name was called, trembled, and immediately lowered his body even lower, almost touching his face to the ground:
"emperor!"

The scream was like begging for mercy, but also like dissuasion.

"Xin Ciying, what do you mean?"

Originally, Mr. Xin didn't get involved in this matter, he is famous for his two sleeves.

When he heard the number of Zhang Jiajun's shortage just now, he himself was taken aback.

As Liu Bang thought, more money and less money didn't really matter to Song Dynasty. Besides, people are not sages, and it is impossible to be perfect.

When the emperor asked this time, he had no choice but to answer honestly: "I don't know."

"Yang Yizhong?"

Yang Du made the knuckles of his knuckles turn pale from his own pinching. No one else had seen the emperor kill someone, but he had seen it with his own eyes.

Now that the emperor looks like this, if he really wants to kill someone in this palace...

Not to mention how future generations will write this paragraph, none of the ministers at Yushitai alone is easy to get along with!

Then Wan Qixi is still closed in the yamen of the Dianqian Division. It only takes a few days, and the pressure from the officials makes him, the head of the Dianqian Division, unable to hold on.

He raised his head and looked at His Majesty the Emperor who had been with him for more than ten years.

"Officials, stop asking."

"Oh?"

Liu Bang looked into his eyes, but he didn't expect that this piece of wood would be the first to dissuade him.

"As my subject, as a soldier of the Song Dynasty, you actually prevented me from investigating corruption in the army...Yang Yizhong, you think it through before you speak."

He kowtowed on the spot... I don't know how much strength Yang Du used, his forehead turned red with just one blow.

"Your Majesty, my minister, Yang Yizhong, has the audacity to speak out, please let it go."

Liu Bang turned sideways and exposed his ears:

"Can you say that again."

"Your Majesty, please let it go!"

After saying that, there was another bang of the head, Yang Dushi stood up, his forehead seemed to be bleeding.

But what was redder than his forehead was his eye sockets.

"why?"

"For Da Song."

"It's for you Da Song!"

Liu Bang suddenly raised his volume, but soon he returned to normal.

He did not doubt Yang Yizhong's loyalty.

But just because Yang Yizhong is such a loyal person, he came to dissuade him...

Yang Mutou is not a person who doesn't know right from wrong, otherwise he could have kept this matter a secret, let Liu Kai and Xin Ciying speak out, and went to kill Guo Yaoshi.

For the same reason, he would not be the main criminal, so stupid that he would expose himself.

Then, there is only one possibility...

This matter is very big, many people are involved, and the forces involved may even be related to the entire court of the Song Dynasty.

In other words, this may have been beyond the emperor's ability.

Liu Bang understood Zhao Gou again, but more, he remembered some past experiences.

It seemed like this was the scene when Liu Ruyi was wanted to be the crown prince?

"Ugh……"

The emperor's sigh made everyone's tense nerves finally relax.

There are also many people who have reacted... There is no need to be afraid at all.

The law does not blame the public, let alone so many ministers.

If Zhao Guanjia is not dull, he should know the truth.

Qin Hui turned his head quickly, and saw that Lao Jiu seemed to have taken a step back, so he opened his mouth and said:

"Officer... Your Majesty, I have something to say."

'Boom--'

The dark clouds that had piled up in the sky for a long time finally cried out with Qin Xiangye's voice.

Liu Bang stared at him for a long time before saying:

"I can probably figure out why you are able to be the prime minister... let's go"

Hearing the emperor's comment, Qin Hui strengthened his thoughts, and couldn't help cursing himself secretly:
Confused about being entertained... Isn't Lao Jiu handing himself a knife!

It's no wonder that Prime Minister Qin blamed himself so much. Usually, when the emperor moved his butt, he would take the initiative to put the toilet up.

The emperor made such a big fight today, but he reacted for so long...

Lao Jiu is not a fool, not a fool, not a fool!

At most, he's a coward, but Lao Jiu is not a fool.

After saying this sentence silently several times, Qin Hui opened his mouth and said:

"Officials, I don't know much about the affairs of the two consulates in Huaixi and Huaidong..."

Seeing that the emperor seemed impatient, another big drop of rain fell in front of him, Qin Xiangye sped up his speech and said:

"But at the Huguang General Consulate, I have indeed heard about it!"

As expected of Mr. Xiang!
No wonder the officials praised him so much just now!
This person's brain is faster than ours!

As soon as Qin Hui's words came out, everyone had already heard the smell.

Where are the officials going to investigate? Isn't it clear that they want to...

"Be more specific."

"The Ministry of War should know about this matter."

Ministry of War...

Liu Bang looked at the person who asked him for the account book just now, but he told himself that the account book was burned by the Minister of the Ministry of War, Wu Biaochen.

Before Qin Hui was dismissed as Prime Minister for the first time, Lu Yihao was the first to drive away this person.

Now that Mr. Qin called out his name, Wu Biaochen immediately replied:

"Thanks to Prime Minister Qin's reminder, the old minister has indeed thought of it."

After speaking, without waiting for the emperor to ask, he continued:
"In August of the seventh year of Shaoxing, Feiyan's army ran out of food..."

It turned out that he was playing tricks on Shuidongyin!
"Just tell me how much Yue Fei has been greedy for."

Wu Biaochen thought for a while: "More than 360 members of Yue Fei's army, including commanders, generals, and envoys, asked for an extra 14 coins... More than 15 soldiers in the army asked for [-] extra coins. [-]."

"Ai Qing," Liu Bang knelt down, looked at him and said, "This amount..."

"Officials, this number is clearly remembered by the veteran, and there is absolutely no mistake... The Ministry of War should still have a file."

After a pause, Wu Biaochen added: "It's not about deceiving the emperor. Huguang's account books and Lianghuai's account books have always been kept separate."

"No, what I mean is..." Liu Bang stood up again, "How many meals is enough for Zhang Jiajun's [-] yuan with just his mother's money?!"

Before Qin Hui could react, he only heard the emperor say to himself:
"Anyway, I still have to thank Qin Xiang. No matter what your purpose is, at least you have told the truth."

Could it be that the old nine's goal is not Yue Fei?
Qin Hui was shocked, and heard the emperor say:
"There was a story before, I don't know if you have heard it."

He started to walk again, the blade was still in his hand, but it was on the flat ground at this time, and there was no clanging sound when he descended the steps just now.

"It is said that there used to be a man from the state of Wei named Tang Ju who went to Qin as an envoy and angered the king of Qin. The king of Qin asked him: 'Have you ever heard that the emperor is angry?'"

"Tang Ju said: 'Of course I have heard it, if the emperor is angry, he will have to lay down millions of corpses and bleed for thousands of miles.'"

Everyone has naturally heard this story, but they don't know what the emperor intends to do when he mentions this.

Liu Bang went on to say:

"Tang Ju asked the King of Qin: 'Have you ever heard of commoners getting angry?'"

"The King of Qin said: 'When the commoner got angry, he just took off his hat and hit his head on the ground with his bare feet.'"

"I don't seem to have the ability to lay down millions of dead bodies now, so do you think I should bang my head on the ground?"

No one answered his words, he went from left to right, and from right to left.

Just walking back and forth like this, everyone saw the cold light on the tip of the knife.

"Tang Ju said: 'Bumping your head against the ground is an idiot's anger, and courageous people don't do this'."

"I personally think that I should be a bit courageous..."

"So, what should a person like me be like when he gets angry?"

He finally stopped and looked at Wu Biaochen, Minister of the Ministry of War, who was nearly sixty years old.

Gives his own answer.

Liu Bang is not good at beheading, but it has to be said that even this old man, his head and neck are tightly connected.

With a knife down, it was almost not cut off by someone.

The blood gushed out from Wu Biaochen's neck, like a beautiful flame.Let everyone present have some stains on their bodies.

Wu Biaochen's head just rolled under Qin Xiangye's knee, the old man's eyes widened, Qin Hui didn't react for a while.

It was fine just a moment ago, why did it suddenly become like this!

Not only him, everyone didn't react. Even Yang Yizhong, who had made preparations before, thought that the officials had let go of this matter after the emperor's sigh.

"what!"

Qin Xiangye let out a mournful cry, and quickly fell back, trying to stay away... He put his hands on the ground behind him, and looked at Wu Biaochen's head that had been separated from his body.

Everyone felt sorry for each other, even the Huaixi Army's elite soldiers couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The last time I slapped people in the street, but that was different, it was a slave family.

This time, he hacked and killed ministers in the palace again...the one who killed was still a minister.

In any case, after this incident, the emperor's reputation may be associated with those foolish emperors of the Five Dynasties.

Yang Yizhong felt refreshed in his heart, but at the same time felt as if he had been burdened by a thousand weights, he was almost out of breath.

A gust of wind blew over... just now there was a little rain, but after the gust of wind blew past, the only thing that could be heard was the still rumbling thunder.

"Actually Tang Ju also said, the wrath of commoners, five steps of bloodshed, the world is plain."

"I'm an emperor so to speak, so I can't be better than a commoner."

Five steps of bleeding, today is also, today is also!

When he wanted to make Liu Ruyi the crown prince, everyone came to persuade him. Even Zhang Liang, who supported him before, changed his mind later.

Originally, if it was only Lu Zhi who objected, maybe he really wouldn't think there was anything, it was all his own species, and they were all the same.

But when he found out that everyone supported Lu Zhi, even those from Pei County...

It turned out that the emperor didn't want to do anything, he could do anything.

But after living a new life, he can't be angry with the previous life again, right?

Liu Ying is his own son, and he can't kill him and is reluctant to kill him.

What about you?

What are you kid?
It is also worthy of opening your eyes and talking nonsense in front of Lao Tzu!
After resting for a long time, the air was filled with the smell of blood, and then Liu Bang spoke again:

"Now, can someone tell me? Who swallowed up Zhang Jiajun's [-] gap."

"My dear friends, I have already given you an explanation, are you still not willing to give me an explanation?"

Zhang Jun looked at the extremely strange emperor, as if he had seen a ghost.

When he first returned to Lin'an that day, the official family... the official family seemed to look like this too?
He was also not wearing a robe, and his body was covered in blood.

Was the servant of Qin Xiangfu really killed by the housekeeper?
A lot of doubts came to my mind, plus what the emperor said that day, let me use the heads of three hundred golden men to pay for the crime...

The officials have changed!
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Taiwei slammed his head to the ground hard, even more exaggerated than Yang Yizhong.

Those who knew it knew it was a kowtow, but those who didn't know it thought Taiwei Zhang wanted to commit suicide.

"Your Majesty, this minister is guilty!"

While talking... I don't know whether it is pain or regret, but I started to sob anyway.

Shaking his head slightly, Liu Bang glared at the old boy.

Really, he can get involved in anything.

Zhang Jun took the lead, and soon, someone else echoed:
"My lord is guilty!"

This is Han Xiaozhou, member of the Privy Council.

The three words 'I'm guilty' kept ringing out, and only a few of the people who called today didn't speak.

None of the three divisions of Yantie, Duzhi and Hubu were spared.

Zhan Dafang, Minister of the Household Department, also pleaded guilty on behalf of the Household Department.

If you add Meng Zhonghou, king of Xin'an County, who is in the Lianghuai General Consulate...

None of the places where the Song Kingdom deals with money is clean.

If there are exceptions, it is the one who is temporarily in charge of the third division, Qin Hui, Prime Minister Qin... All the people involved in the [-]th case of the third division have recognized it. Liu Bang does not think that Qin Hui is the one who is alone.

It's just that after waiting for a long time, he couldn't wait for his acknowledgment.

He looked at the lean old man, who also seemed to have forgotten about the transgression, and was also looking at himself.
