In order to commemorate the people in the city, Liu Bang suspended the morning court for three days.
It's not that he's slacking off...well, actually there is some.
Last night, I returned to the palace from Sibei Tower and told Wang Chan about the business she had made for her father. Wang Jieyu was so moved that she worked extremely hard.
Even though Liu Ji thought he was very capable, he had to surrender many times.
This is one, and the other is that the officials of the Song Dynasty are not very capable, and everyone in the court is either Qin Hui's mouthpiece, or they simply don't speak.
Everyone is waiting for Jin Ren and Yue Fei just like him.
I've been talking like this all morning, but I can't get to the point.
In this case, it is better to find someone yourself and ask directly if you want to ask anything.
There is no sun today, and instead of being cool, the weather is sweltering.
Liu Bang was not wearing a robe, only his inner clothes. His hair was not neatly combed, and there were two strands of hair hanging from his forehead.
Although he felt something was wrong, even Xin Ciying didn't dare to say anything nonsense... He was afraid of being gagged.
However, it still made a few people in the Selected Virtue Hall secretly sigh:
Looks like a good farmer.
"All the rest of that man's party have fallen into my hands. I have also investigated the people who often come in and out of Sibei Tower in Lin'an. At present, the front department has detained a total of 72 people. There are still 18 people who are seriously injured and are being treated. The remaining 60 The three of them were unwilling to surrender and were executed."
After a pause, Yang Yizhong continued: "After getting rid of the thirty-three prostitutes on the flower boat, the remaining twenty-one people are all old and weak."
Liu Bang twisted his neck and asked: "Have you been interrogated? How about Mingzhou?"
"I have asked all night, and everyone is tight-lipped, but the punishment has not been carried out yet. As for Mingzhou... Ambassador Zhao has not sent any news yet. It is expected that people from the Infantry Division will arrive in Mingzhou later today."
There is a distance of four to five hundred miles from Lin'an to Mingzhou, but fortunately there is a waterway, which can save a lot of time.
Guo Yaoshi's ever-victorious army cannot be used by himself. This is Liu Bang's most heartbreaking thing.
Either don't let yourself know about it, and if you know it, you can't get it... This is the same feeling as when he met Yu Ji.
"The official family..." Liu Qi, like Yang Yizhong, was obedient and showed his filial piety. At this moment, he added,
"Pharmacist Guo is a national thief. Should we let the people know that we have taken this person?"
Liu Bang understood what he meant. The Jingkang Rebellion started from this person. The appearance of this person at this time would undoubtedly wash away some of the Zhao family's mistakes.
For a courtier, he was quite considerate.
However, before Liu Bang could think about it, Xin Ciying, who had not yet taken office, interjected: "What Liu Dushi said is true! Medicine Master Guo must be punished. Officials must not be merciful."
"This traitor is a domestic slave with three surnames. The late emperor treated him so kindly, but he stole the country and betrayed his master. Although he is a Han son, he grew up in the Liao and Jin Dynasties. He is no different from the Jurchen Khitan."
"You're a bastard, you should be killed!"
Master Xin became more and more angry as he spoke, and the last two words were actually shouted out.
Like many people, he hated the Jin people, hated Yaoshi Guo, hated the generals who surrendered without fighting, and even hated Master Zhongdao who died of illness.
Only he never hated the emperor.
Perhaps this is the benefit of Confucianism.
However, he wanted to kill Pharmacist Guo so much that Liu Bang immediately figured out this kid's intention.
Guo Yaoshi was still a member of the Jin Kingdom in name. Even if the Jin Kingdom had long since abandoned him, killing him in front of all the Song people would undoubtedly give the Jin Kingdom a chance to perform.
Xin Ciying either wanted to force himself to express his intentions, or he wanted to strengthen his determination for the Northern Expedition.
Little one, you want to use me as a swordsman, right?
Without rushing to express his position, Liu Bang asked Yang Yizhong: "What do you think?"
The latter frowned slightly. His and Xin Ciying's positions were undoubtedly the same.
Killing Pharmacist Guo would be a harmless thing for them.
but……
"In the official family, including the three people injured by Qin Liu, the thirty-three prostitutes...all have other backgrounds."
Liu Bang stared at him for a long time, causing sweat to break out on Yang's forehead.
"Yang Yizhong, if you feel that the job you have received is not satisfactory, just write a letter of resignation yourself."
Upon hearing this, Commander Yang immediately knelt down and said, "It's not that I'm hiding something, it's just, it's just..."
"Just what?"
At this time, in Liu Bang's eyes, Yang Yizhong and Xin Ciying meant the same thing.
He hadn't finished what he said before, and he was reporting that he wanted to kill Yaoshi Guo so that he could start a war with the Jin people.
Yang Yizhong paused again and again... The weather was already making people irritable. Liu Bang was about to curse when he heard him say:
"The thirty-three prostitutes are all family members of soldiers killed in each army..."
Liu Qi looked at Yang Yizhong doubtfully, and Xin Ciying was also surprised.
Yang Yizhong gritted his teeth: "No execution was carried out, but some of them were soft-spoken and told the story of their origins."
"Since the fifth year of Shaoxing, Sibeilou has been looking for women of this status in Lianghuai... At first, he just gave them some food and water to keep them safe."
"Later, they were allowed to board the ship and earn their own money."
"Their fathers, brothers, husbands... children, some are from the Zhang family army, some were under the jurisdiction of Xiang Guangshi before, and some were from the Han family army."
"Until now, they still don't know what they have committed... They just assume that they have offended Prime Minister Qin. The three people who were whipped by Qin Liu thought of giving up their own lives in exchange for Sibeilou's. comprehensive."
Liu Bang looked at the gloomy sky outside, and after a while he asked:
"Were you forced?"
Yang Yizhong said: "No, according to what they said, at first they wanted to save some money for Sibei Tower. Later, someone took a fancy to some of them and took them back home. Later, they were Rush to do it."
It looked like it was about to start raining. Even though it was only noon, the sky was almost dark.
The maid holding the lamp lit candles... I am afraid that only the royal family can light dozens of these things at once.
The Xuande Hall was eerily quiet. From the moment Yang Yizhong knelt down, the three of them no longer dared to look at the emperor's face.
"Get up."
It wasn't a problem to have him kneel like this, and Liu Bang didn't really want to get angry at him.
I was just thinking about what the women said when those three prostitutes were about to be stripped off by Qin Liu on the street.
'It's better to just die. '
Then I remembered that the girl from the Zhong family was not even afraid of death, but after she threatened her with the same method, she resorted to anything.
In a place where chastity is so important, the women in Sibei Building sold their bodies one after another.
They don't have to go.
But they went.
Whenever Liu Bang felt that he had touched the Song Dynasty's bottom line, it would often find a lower bottom line.
The most important thing is that these people are relatives of Song soldiers.
They even sold their lives to the Song Dynasty, but they still failed to protect their families.
If this matter breaks out... it won't be surprising even if there are ten more Huaixi military coups and one hundred more Li Qiong.
"The military supplies report of each army, the military pay and food allocated to each army over the years, and the details of the expenditures submitted by each army every year..."
"check!"
His voice was so cold that even Xin Ciying, who had always been by your side, couldn't help but shudder.
