Above the corner tower, it fell into silence again.

Zhou Bo's chest rose and fell violently, and his right fist was clenched even harder!

Then, with an unwilling face, he smashed his right fist on his left palm, and bowed down: "Minister!" Lose your honor in front of you! ”

Gritting his teeth and saying unwilling words, Zhou Bowei raised his head and looked at Liu Budo with cannibalistic eyes: "Tomorrow, the minister will go to Fengchang to receive punishment." ”

Seeing Zhou Bo bowing his head angrily, Liu Hong moved his gaze back to Chen Ping, who was prostrate on the ground, and withdrew his palm from the jade seal.

"Today, I heard the prime minister's words."

As he spoke, Liu Hong's eyes were full of determination: "Xi, is the prime minister accepted?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Ping's head was buried even lower: "Even if the minister dies, he will not dare to cause such a trouble..."

"Your Majesty, please be aware of !!"

As if he had been wronged, Chen Ping straightened up slightly, carefully took out the golden seal in his arms, held it on the top of his head, and kowtowed again: "The minister is old and decayed, and he actually made His Majesty mistakenly recognize him, and he deserves to die for the real crime..."

"The minister will return the seal, beg the bones, and hope that Your Majesty will approve it..."

Looking at Chen Ping's aged body crawling on the ground, Liu Hong took a deep breath and spoke of Chen Ping at a higher level.

- Good guy, before the co-authorship, the officials had already lit up the science and technology tree of 'Yangwang'!

Chen Ping is not applying for retirement at all.

He is learning from Liu Hong, taking retreat as advance, killing people and punishing his heart!

As long as Liu Hong dares to nod, he doesn't have to wait for dawn, just in the middle of the winter night, children's songs can be spread on the streets of Chang'an City!

What kind of harsh treatment of the old ministers~ mean and unkind~

No matter how serious it is, it is possible to have a sentence of 'Your Majesty is delirious'!

What is the normal process of begging bones for officials in feudal society?

- First of all, the official came to the emperor, mentioned his chosen successor, and knocked on the side: Your Majesty, I think that who is very good, maybe you can do something for Your Majesty?

If the emperor wants to keep this official, he will say: Well, this person is not bad, but he is still young and needs to be trained.

As soon as the officials heard this, they would stay in office, train this 'unqualified' successor for the emperor, and talk about retirement later.

If the emperor also felt that the official had indeed reached retirement age, he would say: "This man? I'm really not impressed.

This is the initial permission for the official to retire.

The official will go back, take the chosen successor with him, teach him by word and deed for a few months or even half a year, and even cede some power to the past and test the waters.

Then, I found the emperor for the second time: the minister tried it for His Majesty, and this person's ability is really good.

At this time, if the emperor says: Oh? If you have the ability, then I will use it to see - this is that the emperor is not satisfied with the candidate, and the official can only choose a new successor and repeat the first link.

If you say: Oh, I am still reluctant to love Qing - this is the emperor who recognized the successor and allowed the official to retire, and the official should retire with a polite sentence.

After retiring, the official will not resign immediately, but will go back to hand over government affairs, transfer power, introduce contacts, and confirm that the successor can live alone, and then he will visit the emperor for the third time: Your Majesty has been comforted three times, and the minister is grateful, but the minister is really old and can't bear it~

At this time, the emperor will shed two tears, say two polite words such as 'Aiqing is really a loyal minister', and approve the official to beg for bones and return to his hometown.

This is the 'three invitations and three resignations' when officials retired in the feudal era.

At least before Emperor Wen broke the rules in history, and as soon as others opened their mouths, they said, 'Okay, I know, you can go', the standard template for official retirement is like this.

Now, Chen Ping looked bitter and wronged, took the prime minister's seal, and said that he wanted to beg for bones?

This is the same as the nature of the female friend who opened her mouth and closed her mouth to 'break up if you don't buy' - this is a!

As soon as Liu Hong agreed, Chen Ping should go around preaching that 'after all, one person resists everything'.

Taking a deep breath again and spitting out the knot in his chest, Liu Hong stood up, cleaned up his complexion, and put on an indifferent expression.

"Prime Minister, it's serious."

As he spoke, he lifted Chen Ping up from the ground and sighed: "This is my fault..."

Comforting Chen Ping'an back to his seat, Liu Hong endured his nausea and came to the opposite side of the desk and sat down.

This is the reason why Liu Hong did not want to move Mao Dun to the table from beginning to end.

——Chen Ping's prime minister, it is Taizu Gao Emperor Liu Bang's personal order!

As a grandson, even if Liu Bang nodded and became the prime minister, Liu Hong could only grit his teeth and allow the head to die in the prime minister's position; Otherwise, the Han family's national policy of 'ruling the world with filial piety' will become an empty talk.

Liu Hong will be burdened with a more serious crime than 'non-Liu's son': unfilial piety!

It's not an ordinary unfilial elder, but an unfilial grandfather, an unfilial Taizu Emperor Gao!

Unlike the original history, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo only dared to say that the original owner was 'not the son of the Liu family', but did not dare to say that 'the Liu family was not the mandate of heaven', Liu Hong also did not dare to make any measures to deny Taizu Liu Bang and Emperor Hui Liu Ying.

Even more than Chen Ping and Zhou Bo, Liu Hong didn't want that to happen - you must know that Liu Hong's source of legal system is Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang and Emperor Hui Liu Ying!

The reason why the people of Chang'an supported Liu Hong, and the reason why the Northern Army was able to be pulled to Beique by him was not because of the hundreds of thousands of stone corn, or because Liu Hong exuded the spirit of a king.

It's because Liu Hong's surname is Liu!

Liu Bang's Liu, Liu Ying's Liu!

In the final analysis, whether it is the soldiers of the Northern Army or the people of Chang'an, the biggest reason for supporting Liu Hong is, first of all: Liu Hong is the grandson of Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang and the son of Emperor Xiaohui Liu Ying.

Secondly, because Liu Hong is the Son of Heaven.

In the original history, Emperor Jing Liu Qi was the prince for nearly 20 years, and he was already full of wings when he ascended the throne; In the last few years of Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing was in charge of the country as the crown prince, although he did not have the name of the Son of Heaven, but he already had the reality of the Son of Heaven.

Rao is like this, when the patriarch of the Three Dynasties, the old prime minister Shen Tujia, tried his best to oppose the matter of cutting the domain, Emperor Jing also had no way to deal with Shen Tujia.

In the end, Emperor Jing, the son of real power, could only acquiesce to Chao Cuo to dig up the high temple wall, and deliberately let Shen Tujia bump into him, and when Shen Tujia gloated and impeached Chao Cuo, he let Chao Cuo go.

With so much effort and such a big circle, guess what is the purpose of Emperor Jing?

Angry Shen Tujia!

Emperor Jing Liu Qi, who can shout 'I don't love anyone to thank the world', can only do so in the face of the elders and nobles, not to mention Liu Hong, who is not even in control of the guards now.

It can be said that unless Chen Ping is upright, Liu Hong has no way to deal with Chen Ping.

It can also be seen from Chen Ping's reaction that Chen Ping also has an extremely clear understanding of this.

However, this is also within Liu Hong's expectation - if Chen Ping is really so easy to deal with, Emperor Wen in history will not swallow his anger until Chen Ping dies of old age.

Thinking like this, Liu Hong had a trademark smile on his face; One was taken out of the chessbox and landed on the board.

"Prime Minister, please."
