Chapter 54

Maybe it's because I'm getting older and my eyes are blurry.

When Xiang Guangshi looked at the person who was following the emperor, he always felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he saw him.

Once he led the army to serve the king and personally supported the emperor's ascension to the throne.

Even after the Huaixi military change, even though he lost his military power, he could still retain his title as Duke.

just now……

Looking at the hundred eunuchs behind him, he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.

He no longer wants to be a great minister, but only hopes to change his surname...how to say, it is also something left to him by his ancestors.

Liu Bang was wearing armor...Should I say it or not, the armor of Song State is really good.

Once he puts it on, he is reluctant to take it off, no matter how hot the weather is, he still feels very comfortable with this thing on his body.

Without him, peace of mind.

"Didn't you say that they just seem to have a lot of people? Now basically all of them are on Qin Hui's side. This number...it's really quite a lot."

After hearing the emperor's words, Guo Yaoshi just smiled and didn't explain anything immediately.

On the contrary, since he was arrested and sent to Song State Prison, he felt much more relaxed.

If you ask me, these few days are considered to be one of the few moments in his life when he can sleep peacefully.

"So you brought me here, do you want me to help you think of a way?"

The sign of the Ministry of Rites can already be seen ahead, Liu Bang said:

"No, I have my own way of dealing with this group of people. The purpose of bringing you here is to show you..."

As soon as the horse stopped, the hearts of the hundred eunuchs behind all jumped in unison.

How wonderful it would be if he could serve as a horse stool for the emperor at this time!

But Liu Bang... he can be regarded as a person who can treat people as people. Although eunuchs have no human rights, they are more spiritual than animals, right?
Without giving everyone this chance, the emperor easily turned over and fell off the horse.

Seeing the firmness with which he stepped on the ground, Guo Yaoshi knew it,

This is really not such a useless person as in the rumors.

"Let me take a look at the circles you drew. It's actually very simple to solve."

He patted the horse's back, and what was slung around his waist was a very simple sword, less than three feet in length and less than two fingers wide.

To tell you the truth, it's easier to kill people with a knife... It's just that when I was hanging out with Zhang Er, everyone liked to use a sword.

The six policemen in front of the etiquette department had never seen such a scene before, and they wanted to go in to report immediately, but they were stopped by Liu Bang:

"Do you know who I am?"

As soon as the words came out, he regretted it... Waking up early really hurts the brain.

But the man didn't know if he was frightened, he shook his head and said:

"Why did the general come here? Which official are you looking for?"

"Don't worry about it, just stay here, don't go anywhere, don't say anything, you know?"

Seeing him nodding subconsciously, Liu Bang greeted Xiang Guangshi and Guo Yaoshi, took the eight elite soldiers prepared for him by Yang Yizhong, and went straight in.

The remaining guards and eunuchs in front of the palace guarded the door obediently.

That is to say, there are six yamen here, and there are not many people who come here on weekdays.

Otherwise, storytellers in each building have to arrange some stories.

But the common people couldn't see that the people in the rest of the yamen were not blind, and the scene from the Ministry of Rites soon spread to the ears of the other ministries.

"I heard that the emperor seems to really kill people?"

"I'm so scared! No matter how ruthless the officials are, it's impossible to kill us all, but if the Prime Minister thinks about it, then life is really worse than death!"

"Are you still resigning?"

"Let's take a look first."

……

Such conversations, on the contrary, have similar performances in different yamen.

Many institutions in the Song Dynasty have many functions that overlap.

After passing through Jingkang, the only daily affairs left by the Ministry of Rites are the gate temple, host and guest, and the dining department.

It was also the first time for Liu Bang to come here. He didn't distinguish between left and right, and walked directly towards the middle, reaching the boundary between host and guest.

This is where the Ministry of Rites is responsible for foreign affairs.

This movement has already startled everyone, everyone did not do any errands, they all stood up and looked at the group of uninvited guests.

"I heard that you don't want to do it anymore?"

As soon as the emperor's voice appeared, everyone was startled, and the less timid, even began to tremble in their legs.

"Is there such a thing?"

When Liu Bang really got closer, he revealed his face under the helmet in front of everyone...

Officials in the Song Kingdom are so easy to do, they don't have a lot of work and a lot of salary, and their bosses and colleagues all speak nicely, so even if they do something wrong, they won't cause any trouble.

Of course, the last one may not hold true now.

"Hey! My lovers have become dumb at some point!"

The emperor kept his hand on the hilt of his sword, making everyone anxious.

After a long pause, someone remembered to salute.

Liu Bang was very satisfied with their attitude. If he could kill one of the ministers of the Ministry of War and be so obedient, he could kill two more.

Blinking at Guo Yaoshi, Liu Bang really gained face by verifying his imperial prestige this time.

"If you don't admit it, then I will take it as a rumor from outside. Everyone, do your errands well and don't let yourself be fooled."

After a pause, he said again: "For those who didn't go to the morning court today, your Ministry of Rites has sent a servant...Zhu Song, right? Let's go. Today's court meeting has been postponed until noon. You can go with me."

The first place went so smoothly, which was in line with Liu Bang's vision.

Speaking of them being officials, in fact, they are just older students.

And those Tai students are people without official status.

all the same.

He was about to turn around and leave, thinking of going to the Ministry of War to take a look, after all, it was their Shangshu who died, and the people there should have the most thoughts.

However, a voice came from the ear:
"Minister Zhu Song, please resign from the officials."

It's not loud, and there's not much emotion in it, but somehow it just sounds like...

Very firm, very untidy.

Seeing Guo Yaoshi pursing his lips, Liu Bang hated this servant who didn't give him face. He turned around and saw a middle-aged man with big ears and eyes bowing to him.

"I don't want to talk nonsense with you, you should be more sensible."

The man pointed his head at himself...he had already taken off his official hat.

When he was a little closer, Liu Bang said in a low voice: "For Qin Hui, you won't even be an official. You have to think about it."

Hearing this, the man was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said:

"The officials have misunderstood. The minister is the king's person, the son is the father's person, the wife is the husband's person, the minister is Han, Song, and Jiangxi, but they are not Qin Xiang."

"If you're not from Qin Hui, you shouldn't do this."

Zhu Song continued: "Do the officials know 'reason'?"

"What is reason?"

"The reason is the reason of heaven."

"What is the law of heaven?"

Zhu Song did not hesitate: "The three cardinal guides and the five constant principles are the laws of the world."

"The king is the guide for the ministers. As a minister, you should naturally follow the behavior of the monarch, but you killed Wu Shangshu..."

"Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trustworthiness, what you do is neither benevolent nor righteous. It is neither respectful nor wise. It also violates the oath made by Emperor Taizu. This is unbelief."

Liu Bangpin said this for a while: "Is this your reason?"

"The Master said: 'If his body is upright, he does not follow orders; if his body is not upright...even though he does not obey orders.'"

The middle-aged man's speech has been tepid, like a piece of wood with a lot of words.

Too lazy to talk nonsense with him, Liu Bang didn't draw his sword, and put the sword on the man's head with the scabbard:

"Go, go, go."
