The rain is frighteningly heavy.
All the vendors that I saw when I came here are gone, and it's finally time to fall asleep in Lin'an City.
Liu Bang held the little Daoji in his arms. The little monk had woken up long ago, but the drunkenness had not dissipated, and there were still shadows of people when he looked at him.
"Official!"
Xin Ciying shouted from a distance, his beard and hair were stained by the rain on his face, and he had long lost his elegance.
He will truthfully report Yang Yizhong's humiliating behavior in front of the emperor.
"Why...don't you find a place to hide?"
On the surface, except for Xin Ciying, Yang Yizhong only brought six people in total.
But secretly, I don’t know how many good players are hidden.
Now they are standing at the place where they parted just now, and no one moves, not even Yang Yizhong, who has sent away the monk Fohai and returned.
After jumping on the carriage, Liu Bang calmed down a little, but Xin Ciying couldn't wait to file a complaint.
After exposing Yang Yizhong's contempt, corruption, and stubbornness just now, the old boy began to care about the emperor:
"Guan Jia, where did you go just now?"
Liu Bang did not answer him, but frowned imperceptibly. He opened the curtain in front and shouted:
"What are you doing?"
Yang Yizhong didn't know what happened, so he quickly stepped forward and asked, "What is the official mission?"
"What the hell! It's raining so hard. Get in the carriage quickly!"
"What?"
I don't know whether it was because the rain was too loud or because Yang Yizhong couldn't hear clearly. He couldn't believe his ears.
Don't talk about him, even Xin Ciying looked incredulous... As the daily servant and the one who spent the most time with the emperor every day, he certainly knew the nature of his emperor.
The words "honor and inferiority" are definitely the emperor's bottom line.
but now……
Liu Bang cursed: "It's raining so heavily. It's not like this carriage can't be seated. Is there something wrong with you guys? If you want to get wet, can't the driver get wet? You have to have everyone follow you, right?" Is it fun?"
Seeing that Yang Yizhong and everyone were still hesitant, he drank again:
"Do you fucking want to take this opportunity to take sick leave and take a break from your errands?"
"I would never dare!"
"So you want to cheat the reward?"
"Officials, ministers..."
Seeing that the emperor's words were getting more and more serious, Yang Yizhong did not dare to be negligent. He quickly called a group of people and got on the emperor's carriage.
Not to mention this group of pro-military guards, this was the first time even Yang Yizhong himself came up.
With such a holy family, even if Yang Yizhong killed countless people on the battlefield, his eyes were a little red at the moment.
But after a while, Liu Bang's curses came next:
"You're such a fucking idiot! You won't move if I ask you to. Even if I die outside, you won't move either, right?"
"You sour fellow! People know that it is a good thing to listen to me. Why, are you doing this for my own good by resisting orders like this?"
"Go, go, go, it's been a long time since I washed my feet, stay away from me!"
…
The scolding followed the carriage until it entered the imperial city.
Although the emperor was swearing a lot, no one except Xin Ciying felt angry, but rather... kind?
And our living roommate kept lamenting in his heart:
It's haunted, and the official family is possessed by a ghost.
On the other hand, Qin Hui actually didn't think anything about Qin Xi being beaten. After all, he was not his biological son, so he couldn't even talk about how heartbroken he was.
But the fact that his son was beaten by Yue Fei's son makes a lot of sense.
Instead, when Wang saw Qin Xi's injured appearance, she got up and went to ask for an explanation from Qin Xi. Fortunately, Qin Hui stopped him, but the price was that Prime Minister Qin was pointed at the nose and scolded for a long time.
It's not a secret that the prime minister is henpecked, he himself has long been used to it.
"Mr. Zhi, don't try to trick me. Is Yue Fei really not here during this trip?"
"Zhi Lao" is Xue Bi's character. At this time, he and Qin Xi were brought back to Qin Mansion by people from Lin'an Prefecture.
Faced with Qin Hui's problem, Xue Bi sighed deeply: Everyone knew that the marshal was controlled by Qin Xiang, but they didn't know that Qin Xiang was also afraid of the marshal.
Qin Hui has asked this question eight times since he came to the Qin Mansion.
"Marshal Yue was recalled to Beijing. Although he did not bring any troops, he was accompanied by personal guards, several generals and advisers from the Yue family's army, and the female relatives of various families who returned to Lin'an together. How can this journey be made faster?"
If it were just Yue Yun... I would have had a headache how to find a crime for Yue Fei, but now it was better, he had come to his door!
Qin Hui was overjoyed and began to draft the contents of tomorrow's performance.
Thinking of what Qin Xi had said to him in Sibei Tower earlier, Xue Bi was still a little worried and said:
"Master Xiang, I have been friends with you for twenty-eight years. Please give Xue a thorough explanation this time."
Qin Hui stroked his beard and smiled and said: "What did Mr. Zhi say? If you ask, just ask, I will tell you everything."
"Are the officials determined to negotiate peace this time?"
"If so, what price can the official family bear?"
After asking these two questions, Xue Bi paused and asked a third question:
"When Marshal Yue comes back, what will the officials do?"
"Although you and I have different political views, we are all working hard for the Song Dynasty. Now there is a good thing that can stop wars without spending a single soldier. Such a benevolent king should put the people first , peace is the most precious thing.”
"As for the terms of the peace negotiation, you must have heard about it, Mr. Zhi. The official family hurt their head a few days ago. I don't know what happened in the end."
"As for Yue Pengju..." Qin Hui looked at Xue Bi and said: "There is no one in the world who is more loyal to the official family than him. You and I know this truth, and the official family should also know it."
Although he couldn't find anything particularly effective, judging from Qin Hui's tone, the marshal should be fine this time.
But think about it, no matter how serious it is, what can you do?
It was nothing more than dismissal from office. He was shocked by Qin Xi's crazy words.
…
Early the next morning, before dawn, Liu Bang was awakened by the eunuch.
Yesterday he had sex in bed first, and then had sex with someone again at night. He was already very tired, and now his sleep was disturbed. He pointed at the eunuch and scolded him for a long time.
Even so, he still let the waiter wash and dress him, but he was still angry when he got up.
When they arrived at the Daqing Hall, a group of officials were already waiting. Eight eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were accompanying them. There were six ministries from the three provinces, supervisors of the temples, bachelors of the pavilions, the Privy Council and the three yamen. The total number of people was less than a hundred, but there were still six or seven. Number of ten.
Liu Bang was not someone who had never been to court, but he was still slightly frightened by so many people.
The scarlet robe and the green robe stood on each side. The leader of the scarlet robe was Qin Hui, and Xin Ciying could also be seen. Except for Yang Yizhong, he knew no one in the green robe.
Thinking that I liked the excitement enough at that time, how big was the Song Dynasty? Did the last dynasty need so many officials?
After everyone bowed to the emperor and received permission not to do so, the meeting began.
Without waiting for Liu Bang to ask questions, Qin Hui took a step to the left and said:
"In the official family, the ministers have their own notes."
He probably knew what he was going to fart, so Liu Bang nodded and said, "That's it."
"Last night the dog was playing with people by the West Lake, but he didn't want to be attacked by a gangster. The kid was beaten to serious injuries in public in public. According to the testimony of someone at the scene, the gangster and the gangster who broke into Qiantang Gate at night were actually A group of people... It's a small matter for the child to be injured, but the security issue at the emperor's feet is a big one! Please ask the officials to make the decision for the old minister!"
According to the script written by Prime Minister Qin, the emperor only needs to ask who the thief is, and he can call out Yue Yun's name.
Apart from anything else, Prime Minister Qin still has this tacit understanding between king and minister with Zhao Laojiu.
But unfortunately, today the emperor did not follow his words.
"Does the Qing family think that your son's beating is worthy of being discussed in this palace?"
After hearing the emperor's words, Qin Hui had not yet reacted, but other people in the Daqing Palace felt their hearts agitate.
Is the official... not giving face to the prime minister?
Has Prime Minister Qin lost his holy family?
"If your son is beaten, you have to come up and tell me to make the decision for you. Then if your home is robbed someday, don't you also have to come and tell me and let me make the decision for you?"
"If you report to the official, then report to the official. It's useless to report to the official. Why don't you complain to me as soon as you come?"
"But the official, that person..."
"Come on, come on..." Liu Bang waved his hand and said, "Who is that, Yang Yizhong, please ask a few people to go to Qin Qing's house later to see if they can be of any help."
After Yang Yizhong received the order, Liu Bang blinked at Qin Hui, which seemed to mean:
How about it, am I interesting enough?
Qin Hui didn't know what Zhao Laojiu meant.
But he knew that Lao Jiu didn't like hearing this.
It's just that he couldn't name Yue Yun directly at the moment, as that would be too deliberate.
Thinking that we would only talk in private for a while, although I was anxious, I reluctantly stepped back.
This matter was considered temporary, but soon, another person in the crimson robe stood out:
"In the official family, I have the original report!"
Liu Bang nodded. He had never seen this person before, and he didn't know his character. He motioned to him to just say so.
"Official, I heard yesterday that your holy body had just recovered and you left the palace privately."
"It's true, what happened?"
"Officials!" Wan Qixi looked distressed, "This is not what a king should do! You don't take care of your body like this, I am really worried. Moreover, the official body is the most important thing for the country and the country. , the body is related to the blessings of the people of Li, therefore, I ask you to take care of the holy body, so that our country, the Song Dynasty, can prosper and prosper, and live forever without borders."
"Is this what you want to say?"
Wan Qixi was stunned for a moment: "Exactly."
"Xin Ciying! Get out!"
Xin Ciying, who was disgusted by Wan Qixi's words, saw his name suddenly read out and stood up quickly:
"Officials, what's your mission?"
"Did you remember that you left the palace last night?"
"Forget it." Xin Ciying showed no fear.
"Just remember it, you moved so quickly? Did this beloved know about it early today?"
Xin Ciying was very sure: "In the official family, the living notes have not yet been handed over to Zhongshu Province, and I don't know how Lord Wan Qixi found out."
"Is that you, Yang Yizhong?"
Yang Yizhong also replied: "Officials, not ministers."
"Well," Liu Bang nodded, looked at Wan Qixi and said, "That's not what the two of them said. How did Aiqing know about it?"
"Chen..." Sweat broke out on Wan Qixi's forehead and he secretly looked at Qin Hui.
For Prime Minister Qin, Zhao Gou yesterday was too strange and abnormal.
This strange and abnormal situation is not the emperor that the Song Dynasty needs, at least, not the emperor that Prime Minister Qin likes.
Because this is uncontrollable.
Therefore, he asked Wan Qixi to come out today and ask Zhao Laojiu to pay attention to his behavior and at least control himself.
Generally speaking, the emperor would just listen and say something else, but he would never ask so clearly.
It seemed that Lao Jiu was indeed stained with dirt.
Taking Wan Qixi's expression into consideration, Liu Bang understood clearly in his heart and continued:
"Ai Qing, what a trick! There are people in this palace watching over me for you."
As soon as these words came out, Wan Qixi couldn't hold back any longer and immediately knelt down: "The officials... If this is not the case, I don't dare, I..."
In the end, he couldn't tell Qin Hui's name.
However, Liu Bang made a decision: "Since you want to see it, then purify yourself and serve me. I will ask you to see it clearly every day."
"No!"
In an instant, a group of officials in crimson robes stood up one after another and begged the emperor to take back his words.
The Song Dynasty has always had a precedent of preferential treatment of literati. If the emperor sets a precedent today, who knows whether it will be his own fault in the future.
Therefore, not all those who spoke for him were Qin Hui's people.
They are quite united!
Liu Bang saw this and finally said: "Well, everyone is speaking for him, so he must be very popular. Let's do this, Yang Yizhong!"
Mr. Yang was very busy today, but he didn't know that besides him, there were only a few people who could name Liu Bang.
"I'm here!"
"Let's take this Lord Wan Qixi into custody first. Let's wait until he tells who in the palace leaked the news to the outside world. Then we can talk about what to do."
Seeing that he had saved his little bird, Wan Qixi breathed a sigh of relief, but soon he was taken off his official hat by the imperial guards outside the door and was escorted away.
"Any thing else?"
Although I knew that many people came out of the palace last night, but with the example in front of me, no one talked about it anymore.
After more than an hour, some people talked about the trade issue with Dali, someone talked about the shipping issue in the southeast, and someone else talked about the tiles issue in Lin'an City.
But no one mentioned the matter of Jin Guo and Yue Fei.
What people want to say, you don't have to ask them and they will tell you.
If someone doesn't want to talk about it, it's in vain if you ask.
I was just thinking about Yue Yun and the others outside the city, as well as the monk Fohai who was settled in his own home by Yang Yizhong. Instead of fighting with these people, it would be better to ask the people outside.
Especially Yue Yun.
After retreating from the court, when he thought he could finally escape, he saw that Qin Hui and a man with gray hair and beard had not left yet, and they had no intention of leaving. He secretly cursed the two old men for causing trouble, but still kept them. Come down.
"Tell me, tell me, what's going on?"
"Guan family," Qin Hui glanced at the old man, and then said, "Let Mr. Su speak first."
The man Qin Hui called Mr. Su also evaded: "Let Prime Minister Qin say it, I'm not in a hurry."
"Otherwise, just stop talking?"
