Chapter 63

The system of chariots in the Song Dynasty was inherited from the Tang Dynasty, with jade, gold, elephant, leather, and wood as the five wheels, and auxiliary wheels.

Jade reeds are used for offering sacrifices to the recipients, golden receptacles are used as food for shooting suburban signs, elephant reeds are used to walk the road, leather reeds are used for patrolling soldiers, and wooden reeds are used for field hunting.

After Zhao Gou established the capital in Lin'an, he studied the system with reference to the books and maps, and re-established the image, leather, and wood three ren, and did not set up the auxiliary ren.

It's not that there is no money, but mainly that there is no horse.

A jade reed requires six green horses, a golden reed requires six red horses, and even an elephant reed requires six white horses.

The one who is going to drive to Qin Xiangfu today is the most luxurious ritual frame that the emperor of Song Dynasty can present.

With 40 people driving, there are also civil servants and military generals called up temporarily... Wen is called a ritual, and military is called a battle. Only when there are civil and military, can it be called a guard of honor.

There are 200 servants in the retinue, and 500 guards along the street...

The emperor put on airs at night, and more than a thousand people were counted.

It took Zhao Mi an hour to get this job done, and it was because of the concerted efforts of his infantry commander.

It was raining heavily today, and now it was midnight, and there were no pedestrians on the street.

Otherwise, Zhao Dushi would have to spend a lot of time worrying about law and order just for the gathered people.

But what about His Majesty the Emperor?
He waited for a long time but couldn't wait for the news that the palace had prepared, so he simply grilled a fish by the river with Zhang Jun and Liu Qi.

After eating, he felt a little sleepy again, so he sent back Taiwei Zhang and Xiang Guangshi without waiting, and took only Liu Kai and Yaoshi Guo with him, and went directly to the Qin Mansion.

Naturally, the people in front of the palace did not dare to stop them. Liu Bang thought for a while, then left Liu Kai and the two outside, and entered the Qin residence with the big fish by himself.

"Ai Qing! Ai Qing!"

The ghost screaming in the middle of the night woke up many birds in the Qin family's yard. If the Qin family was not big enough and the Wang family slept deeply, the emperor would have to be scolded a few times.

Qin Xiangye was only short of the last few words in a line, and was disturbed by the cry, and lost a bit of strength when he lifted it up...

A man in his decades, almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

Even so, he still beat his chest and coughed for a long time before he recovered.

"Father……"

"I'm fine..."

Qin Xiangye had hatred in his eyes: "Go and see, who is so courageous... Forget it, I will go in person!"

Saying that, Qin Xiangye opened the door of the study, and what he saw was that extremely familiar face.

Also, the fish he mentioned.

"Official...official family," Qin Hui's face twitched, "Why are you here...Everyone in this mansion deserves to die, and there is no one who knows, the old minister welcomes you..."

As he was talking, he saw the emperor looking at himself...and his son with a strange look.

It was as if I had encountered some kind of adultery.

Coughing lightly, he called the emperor from his contemplation. Liu Bang looked at the old man with a pitiful face... Everyone said that he was afraid of guilt, so it turned out that there was something hidden here.

It's no wonder the emperor thought so, it's mainly at midnight that Lord Qin was staying in the room with a white ghostly man... The old man's face is still so red, it's hard not to be misunderstood.

"Aiqing, look, I have brought you something good!"

With that said, he handed the fish to him.

Qin Xiangye's brain fell into a brief blank, and it took a while before he remembered to thank you.

"This fish is not bad. If there is anyone in Qin Xiang's mansion who knows how to cook it, he can get it now, so as not to wait until tomorrow when the fish loses its energy and tastes bad."

Trying to find the hidden meaning behind the emperor, but Qin Hui didn't show any negligence in his hands, and gave the fish to the little boy... his son, and asked him to take it to the back kitchen.

When only the two of them were left in the study, Qin Hui bowed to the emperor again:
"Official, you came late at night, what happened?"

Liu Bang stepped into the inner room without treating himself as an outsider, and directly sat in the main seat.

"It's nothing important. Aiqing doesn't believe it, and I don't like to talk about it."

"But if you really say something about the urgency, there really isn't one."

"Speaking of which, I still miss you. I haven't seen you for two days. I always feel empty in my heart. Only when I come to you can it be considered a reality."

Qin Hui sneered in his heart, but couldn't help being happy.

He knew that what Lao Jiu said was half-truth and half-false, what he wanted or not, he needed himself.

Thinking about it, it was the outsiders who played a role.

"What did the officials say? I'm still wearing a crime. When the officials find out, I will naturally see the old minister... Naturally, the minister's previous resignation is still counted."

"What are you saying!"

The emperor suddenly raised his voice, and then said earnestly: "How can this Great Song Dynasty be short of you! My Prime Minister Qin!"

"If you resign, I will also find a clan and give up the throne together!"

"What are the officials talking about! You are the blessing of all people, so don't speak like this!"

The appearance of the two monarchs and ministers being inseparable from each other seemed like they were about to cry.

"Aiqing, let's go back. We've already found out that it's others who are greedy, and only Zhang Jun's soldiers are greedy. The others are innocent, so naturally you are innocent."

"It's just that these days, you have been wronged."

It was still Qin Xiangye who was more powerful, and when the emperor said this, he was the first to shed tears.

Liu Bang squeezed his eyes for a long time, but he couldn't do it like him, so he had to open his mouth again to tell the story of Wanmin's letter and hundreds of officials dismissed from court.

"Aiqing, how can the court leave you, you should share my worries!"

Qin Hui pondered for a while, thinking that the emperor came here for other reasons.

But I didn't expect that it was just because of this.

Lao Jiu... seems to have changed back, but also seems to have not changed.

Counting the time, it is true that the nearest Jin people went south from Haizhou, and they would not arrive until tomorrow at the earliest.

But like this, Lao Jiu couldn't bear it anymore.

He hasn't seen his hole cards yet, it's already like this!

Lao Jiu, Lao Jiu, whether you are sincere or not, you are right.

You can't leave me, and you can't leave me.

Qin Hui also knew that according to the emperor's temper, allowing him to come here, he must have made a huge concession in his heart, and he should hold his own and not be too entrusted.

Just thinking about kowtowing, to tell a good story about the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, and let the storyteller in Lin'an city tell it, the two monarchs and ministers can also leave a good name in Qing history like Liu Bei and Kong Ming, Li Shimin and Wei Zheng .

Outside, there was a great commotion.

It was more than a hundred times louder than the emperor's ghost cry just now.

Liu Bang was still wondering if that boy Zhao Mi finally arrived, but he heard a female voice:
"Qin Huizhi! The old man doesn't know how to go and have a look. It's so late that someone dares to act wildly in front of your house. It's really a ride on your head!"

Qin Hui smiled embarrassingly: "I don't have much knowledge, but the officials laughed at me."

And just outside the gate of the Qin Mansion at this time, Liu Kai looked at Yang Yizhong who was covered in blood... I don't know what he went through.

The blood on his body was only stained after the rain subsided, and the previous ones were all washed away by the rain.

"Zhengfu..."

"Uncle Xin..." Yang Yizhong's Adam's apple twitched, "Please tell the officials..."

"Northern Expedition...Northern Expedition!"

As he said that, he was about to rush into the prime minister's mansion, but he looked like this, and the emperor was still in the mansion, how could Liu Kai dare to let him in:
"Zhengfu! What happened? What are you doing here?!"

"Wait... Wait until Qin Hui is killed, everything will be over."

Liu Kai looked at the man in front of him in disbelief, as if he hadn't heard him speak:
"You know what you're talking about? What did you do!"

"Uncle Xin, don't stop me!"

Yang Yizhong thought for a long time before he realized that killing Qin Hui for one night would be the most direct and quickest effect.

Once Qin Hui died, the emperor would no longer be hindered by the Northern Expedition... Even if there was, it would not be much.

Liu Kai was older, and his stature was much smaller than him. After pushing him several times, he failed to push him away, so he had to grit his teeth and pull out the knife:
"Zhengfu, don't go any further!"

The two comrades of the Huaixi Army never imagined that there would be a day when they would draw their swords and meet each other.

Yang Yizhong looked at the Forbidden Army in front of the palace next to him, and then at Guo Yaoshi who was watching the excitement with his hands folded...

"Brother of the Dianqian Division, please take Liu Dushi aside!"

"Who dares!"

Although the Dianqian Secretary was under his command, he was directly under the emperor's orders.

And now, the emperor is inside.

The first few looked at me and I looked at you, but no one acted first.

Seeing that the two of them were about to make a move, there was a hasty sound of hooves.

I don't know who else will come tonight. Everyone looked together, but they saw a group of people, which seemed to have hundreds of people.

When he got closer, everyone could see his face clearly.

Liu Kai was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "Liangchen! Don't come here without any harm!"

Yang Yizhong fell silent.

Han Shizhong arrived in Lin'an, but came here by detour...

Is he going to vote for Qin Hui too?Like Zhang Taiwei.
