"Official! Yang Zhengfu has always acted in a measured manner... This time, this time, this time he must have been framed!"
"And those ministers...if they didn't come to court first, maybe Yang Zhengfu got carried away..."
"Not all of them were killed by him. I have asked, and Zhu Song hanged himself. He just cut off Zhu Song's head..."
"The official family knows this man's character. His family has been loyal to our Song Dynasty since our ancestors. It has never changed for so many generations. He, he has absolutely no other intentions!"
"The emperor is thinking of him as a minister of Conglong and the good things he has done over the years. Spare his life, just spare his life..."
"I have already scolded him, and he has learned to repent. Just..."
After the heavy rain, Lin'an City returned to the sunny days of a few days ago... It should be said that it was extremely hot.
The sun was scorching hot, and the traces of last night's rain had disappeared by lunch time.
Still in front of Xuande Hall, still on the edge of Little West Lake.
Liu Bang was holding a bowl in his hand, which contained the bait he asked for from Shangshi Bureau. He only grabbed a small handful and threw it into the small West Lake. It was like cold water pouring into a frying pan, exploding countless fish under the water. .
"How is Zhu Song's family doing?"
Captain Zhang had been pestering the emperor since the morning court, even when he was eating. He had been talking about it for several hours. Now the emperor finally opened his mouth and asked about the dead minister.
Zhang Jun felt extremely wronged, but he still answered honestly:
"Zhu Song had a good relationship with Liu Yanxiu. Before his death, he left a last letter entrusting the Zhu family's mother and son to Liu Yanxiu."
Liu Bang thought for a while: "That man died unjustly, and we cannot treat him badly after his death...Does Liu Yanxiu have money? Can he afford to support his family?"
Liu Yanxiu is Liu Ziyu, the son of Liu Kai, a scholar of the Zizheng Palace. Liu Kai also hanged himself after the Jingkang Incident, but in addition to leaving a legacy for the people of the Song Dynasty, he also left behind a person who promoted him with his own hands. The general... is Yue Fei.
The Liu family in Southeast has the reputation of "Southeast Confucianism". Although Liu Ziyu is not affiliated with Qin Hui, he is now the magistrate of Zhenjiang Prefecture. There is no problem in raising a few members of the Zhu family.
Knowing that the emperor had a bad memory, Captain Zhang helped him review Liu Ziyu's life experience. The emperor just nodded:
"Then let's call him back to Beijing to save the mother and son from having to travel."
He said this to Lu Zai. For officials to do this kind of thing, they must go through Zhongshu Province.
Although Liu Ziyu is not liked by Prime Minister Qin, I believe Prime Minister Qin will not have much objection to Liu Ziyu coming to Beijing to take up a casual position.
Moreover, even if there are objections, the emperor's move was to take care of the relatives of the murdered ministers... If anyone stands up to oppose now, he will inevitably get into trouble with the civil servants before Yang Yizhong is executed.
Lu Zai wrote it down, and his heart suddenly became more enlightened.
First, he appointed Li Yian an official, and then called Liu Ziyu back to Beijing...
No matter what the emperor's reasons were, his behavior was really biased towards the warring faction.
Xin Ciying was right, the officials were really unfathomable.
"Mingzhou...is there any news from the coast?"
Yang Yizhong is not here, so the person who is guarding today should be Zhao Mi, but Zhao Mi is nowhere to be found.
Liu Bang looked outside the pavilion and couldn't find Liu Qi...
Then he asked again: "Where have Liu Qi and Zhao Mi gone?"
Zhang Jun couldn't bear it anymore and knelt down: "Guan, please save Yang Yizhong's life!"
He and Yang Yizhong were both superiors and subordinates, and fellow soldiers from the Zhong family; they were both comrades who fought against the king together, and they were partners who fought against the Jin together.
It's not an exaggeration to say that they have the same status as father and son, but in fact they have the same affection as father and son.
Yang Yizhong has been following him almost since Zhang Jun joined the army. If he really died, the fire in his heart would probably be extinguished.
Liu Bang rolled his eyes at the old boy: "What do you think I am doing now?"
Um?
Aren't you feeding the fish?
Zhang Jun and Lu Zai looked at the emperor at the same time, only to see him throwing a handful of bait into the lake:
"Besides money and women, can you hold other things in your mind?"
"If you are stupid, stop talking, do your job, and stop making me angry!"
The emperor was scolding, but Zhang Jun's mind was not without wrinkles.
After just a little understanding, I could hear the flavor.
The emperor is...
Relent!
Although he didn't know what the relationship between feeding the fish and saving Yang Yizhong was, Zhang Jun was overjoyed to receive such a statement from the emperor.
These few hours of talking were not in vain after all.
"Thank you, official, thank you, official..."
Captain Zhang paused for a moment, he would definitely bleed when asking someone to do something, and now the emperor's glory has been restored...
"May I give you some more gifts?"
Liu Bang was extremely angry: "Who do you think I am!"
While cursing and thinking about Xin Ciying on the beach, he cleared his throat and said:
"Hurry up and find Zhao Mi for me... You can send the gift later!"
Zhang Jun rolled around happily, and the emperor's voice sounded in his ears again:
"Remember about the princess!"
Captain Zhang felt a chill in his heart...
The emperor's errands were only big and small.
Big things are easy to handle. Whether it's rebellion or disaster relief, there are precedents to follow. If you follow them, nothing will go wrong.
But if it's a small matter... Princess Roufu's matter, should it be a big thing or a small matter?
He stayed with the emperor for a long time and had to savor these words carefully.
After Captain Zhang walked away, Liu Bang looked at Han Shizhong beside him.
This person is obviously not a talented performer. He wiped his tears several times, but his eyes are still dry even now.
It is rare for someone who is several decades old to have big eyes like his.
"Have you gone to see Qin Hui?"
Liu Bang had heard about Han Shizhong's reputation, and he got straight to the point.
The latter's body froze... He listened to his wife's advice and knew that the emperor was in a hurry to summon the generals this time, so there must be other matters.
Therefore, under Liang Hongyu's instigation, he thought of finding some information from Qin Hui first.
But who knew... I happened to meet the emperor there!
"The official family..."
Han Shizhong wanted to admit his mistake, but he didn't know where to start.
Liu Bang waved his hand. Before Qin Hui took over their military power, he didn't really want to express his feelings.
"If you think I will use your head to negotiate peace with the Jin people, then you can rest assured."
Before Han Liangchen could be happy, he continued: "But you should give me an account of the shortage of food and salary in your army."
Wu Biaochen's matter is now known to everyone, and it is impossible to just let it go.
It's anticlimactic and can't scare people.
After just a little calculation, Han Shizhong took out his life money:
One million yuan of money, nine hundred thousand dan of grain...and fifteen wine warehouses.
This number is not much different from what Liu Bang learned. He looked at Han Shizhong... the top general of the Song Dynasty.
If there is really a nest of bears, it is probably better than Xiang Guangshi, Zhang Jun and the others...
But it's just a little better.
