More than 1,000 people were placed in various parts of Yanjing, and only a few were willing to return to their hometowns.

More than 1,000 people feel that they are still "promising", and they are unwilling to go home to care for the elderly.

As for the trip to the country, there is not a single one!

In the early morning of 26 February, more than a dozen ministers, including Ge Bing, Liu Shikai, and Wang Xuan, gathered at Ge Bing's home.

Ge Bing's house only has three rooms, and it was cold in the house, and everyone couldn't help but shiver when they sat down.

"The house distributed to us by the imperial court is too dilapidated to be inhabited! The amount of money allocated to us by the court is so small that I have already spent it and I can't eat now! Ge Bing said angrily.

Originally, one hundred taels of silver was a great fortune, but Ge Bing spent a lot of money these days, bringing several prostitutes to his home every day a few days ago, and yesterday he went to a casino to gamble, and in just a few days, he spent more than eighty taels of silver, and now the amount of silver left in his hand is less than twenty taels! In Ge Bing's opinion, since he has returned to the Great Song Dynasty, such a life is a matter of course, and there is no fault whatsoever! As for not having a stove at home, he felt that it was a lack of consideration by the imperial court, and he would not spend his precious silver on buying a stove!

"The court treats us so poorly, it really makes people all over the world chill!" Liu Shikai was also angry.

"What do you say now?" Wang Xuandao.

"When we were in the Five Kingdoms City, we often missed the Great Song Dynasty, and we thought that after returning to the Great Song Dynasty, we would be able to show our ambitions, and we would be able to develop the Great Song Dynasty, but who knew that we would encounter such abuse when we came back!" Ge Bing gritted his teeth.

"Let's go to the Emperor Taishang and discuss together!" Liu Shikai said.

"I'm afraid that the Emperor Taishang has been placed under house arrest by the emperor!" Ge Bing said.

"This ...... It's possible, but no matter what, we should still go and see the Emperor. Wang Xuandao.

A dozen of them deliberated for a while, and then they all put on their clothes and headed outside.

Today the sun is shining, the outside of the house is much warmer than the inside of the house, walking in the sun, feeling the prosperity of Yanjing, these dozen or so people are sure that they have really returned to the Great Song Dynasty!

But seeing those people on the street with simple smiles on their faces, they didn't know why, and there was a strong dissatisfaction in their hearts! These people should have knelt before them, and everywhere they went, they were beaten and insulted like pigs and dogs, but now they were on their own footing!

Ge Bing even wanted to rush in front of those people, press those people to the ground, and step on the people's faces with his feet, so that he could relieve his hatred!

After walking for a long time, they finally came to the gate of the palace.

After Ge Bing and the others informed their identities and intentions, the palace guards went to report, and it took less than half an hour before they were allowed to enter the palace.

These dozen ministers have been heading towards the Taiji Palace, and Zhao Ji is actually at the door to greet them at this moment.

"The Emperor!" After Ge Bing saw Zhao Ji, his face showed an extremely aggrieved expression, and his voice was a little choked.

"It's a nice day, I'm basking in the sun here! After I came back, I didn't have to do farm work, and now I was relaxed! Zhao Ji said with a smile.

"Emperor Tai, we have suffered a lot outside!" Ge Bing looked around, and he found that the guards were far away from here, so he said immediately.

"Oh? What suffering? Zhao Ji said.

At that moment, Ge Bing and the others began to speak, and Zhao Ji's face slowly became gloomy.

"Emperor Taishang, it is really chilling that the emperor treats us old ministers like this! We can't live anymore! Ge Bing said.

"Actually, I'm not in the palace either! As the emperor, I deserve all the glory and wealth, but now, there are only five or six dishes at each meal, and there are only three palace maids beside me. Those palace maids dared to refuse me! Moreover, I wanted to see the song and dance, but it was hard to see! Where is this palace? It's hell! Zhao Ji was also angry.

"Emperor Taishang, the emperor can't rule the country at all! Now it is a country that will not be a country, a king will not be a king, a minister will not be a minister, and the people will not be a people, and the current situation must be changed! Ge Bing said.

"Yes! Emperor Taishang, the emperor is too young to control the country, I think you still need the emperor to control the country! Liu Shikai also said.

Zhao Ji looked around, and a cautious expression appeared on his face.

"I asked you to contact the old minister back then, how did you contact him?" Zhao Ji said softly.

"Your Majesty, there are no old ministers in Yanjing City at all, we wrote to our protégés and disciples back then, and I don't know if anyone will respond to us." Ge Bing said.

"I've been thinking of ways to change the current situation these days, if I can't contact the old ministers of the year, then contact the current ministers of Yanjing City! These ministers must also be dissatisfied with the current situation! They are definitely not willing to let the warriors rule the country, and they are not willing to let the status of the generals be too high! Originally, Wufu was a lowly person, and he needed to kneel down and salute when he saw Wenchen, but now, Wufu has become a so-called hero, which is ridiculous! You go and contact those ministers and see if they are willing to change everything in front of them. Zhao Ji said.

"Good!" Ge Bing and the others had excited expressions on their faces.

"You've been suffering outside these days, and you certainly haven't eaten a few times! That one hundred taels of silver is really too little, in the past, when I was Kaifeng, I would have to eat a meal casually for thousands of taels of silver, and this one hundred taels of silver is definitely not enough for your food money for a day! In those days, when Huashigang was transported, sometimes a stone was transported from Jiangnan to Kaifeng, and thousands of people were transported by boat and car, which cost tens of thousands of taels or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver! One hundred taels of silver, what is this? The emperor is too inconsiderate of the ministers! Okay, you come in with me, in the Taiji Palace, you can finally have a good meal. Zhao Ji said.

At that moment, Zhao Ji took these people into the Taiji Palace, and he asked people to arrange the meal, but Ge Bing and the others showed embarrassed expressions on their faces after seeing the meal.

Now the country is in a difficult period, and the food in the palace is also very ordinary, at most equivalent to the level of ordinary rich households, and Ge Bing and the others have a hundred taels of silver in their hands, and they have eaten and drunk spicy food outside these days, almost at the level of Kaifeng back then, and now they all feel that the food in this palace is not the right taste! However, looking at Zhao Ji's eager expression, they still struggled to eat.

******

Late that night, Ge Bing came to the door of Wang Shu's house.

After a little notification, not long after, Wang Shu personally came to the door to welcome Ge Bing's arrival.

"Master Ge, why did you come to the door in person? Come on in! Wang Shu smiled.

Ge Bing followed Wang Shu into the Wang family, he found that the courtyard of the Wang family is not small, and there are many houses inside, but there are almost no servants and maids in the courtyard, after entering the room, Ge Bing found that Wang Shu's room is also very simple, only a few paintings are hung there, and there are not many gold and silver treasures.

"Lord Wang is so bitterly cold?" Ge Bing said in surprise.

In his mind, Wang Shu was originally the deputy minister, but now he is an important member of the Military Aircraft Department and one of the central ministers of the imperial court! With Wang Shu's identity, if it was in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, people like Cai Jing, Gao Yu, Tong Guan and others would all have a lot of money and slaves in the family, but now Wang Shu's family is like an ordinary people's home! Even if it was a seven-grade petty official in Kaifeng Mansion back then, his family was better than Wang Shu's family.

"Bitter cold? Where does this start? I don't have to worry about food and drink at home, and there are servants and palanquin drivers, is this also bitter cold? Wang Shu said with a smile.

"Could it be that the imperial court has given too little money?" Ge Bing said.

"The imperial court gave a lot of money, but after recovering Yanyun and the Central Plains, the country needed too much money and grain, so the ministers of the court and the central government only received part of the gold and silver every month, enough to eat and drink! When the court has money, it will naturally return the gold and silver owed to the ministers! This is a collective petition from the ministers of the DPRK and China to His Majesty, and His Majesty agreed! Wang Shu said.

The high level of the ministers of the Song Dynasty is the first in all dynasties! According to the records of the Song Dynasty, when the Northern Song Dynasty was the richest, the prime minister had 300 taels of silver a month, and even if it was an ordinary Qipin county order, there were 12 taels of silver a month! There are other small and medium-sized rewards every festive season! This kind of money is enough to make the ministers live a rich life far beyond ordinary people! That's why Ge Bing has such an amazement!

"If there is no money, are the ministers of the court willing to work?" Ge Bing said in disbelief.

"We are not doing things for the court, not for the silver." Wang Shu said lightly.

"What's that for?" Ge Bing said in surprise.

"Naturally, I want to make a difference." Wang Shu said.

Wang Shu looked at Ge Bing with a hint of disdain in his eyes! In his opinion, their values are completely different from those of Ge Bing, and it is impossible for Ge Bing to understand their minds!

Sure enough, Ge Bing was extremely confused now! Being an official is for enjoyment and to make a fortune, if not, then what is an official for? He really doesn't understand! He didn't know that there were a group of people who became officials not to enjoy and make a fortune, but to realize their political ideas, but to make a big difference in their official positions and leave their names in history!

"Is there anything important for Lord Ge to come here tonight?" Wang Shu said.

"I'm here today to talk about the current political situation." Ge Bing said.

"The old man is no longer in the imperial court, so why do you say this again?" Wang Shu said.

"This is a bad statement, I can't watch the country become a country, and I can't watch the Great Song Dynasty be destroyed!" Ge Bing said.

"Oh? Now that the Great Song Dynasty is thriving, how can it be a country or not? Wang Shu said.

"The military generals are in power, and the power is monstrous! The status of a martial artist is actually above that of a literati, which is really infuriating! Aren't you angry, Lord Wang? Ge Bing said.

"It is the literati who govern the world, and I have never felt that the status of military generals is above that of literati! Now the Military Aircraft Department manages the major military affairs of the world, and the vast majority of the military aircraft department are civilians! Wang Shu said.

"It's still too different from before! Originally, after His Majesty recovered the Central Plains, he should govern the country with literature and Confucianism! Preserve the principles of heaven, destroy people's desires, make the status of warriors low, the status of farmers and merchants is low, and scholars are high and respected by all people, this is the right reason! The emperor is in the palace, and there should be three thousand harems, and the beauties are endless, but now there are not many palace maids in the harem! Anyone who sees His Majesty has to kneel, but now the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs doesn't even kneel! There is no rank, no order, is this still the world of the Great Song Dynasty? Ge Bing said.

"So what do you think, Boss?" Wang Shu said.

"The Emperor Taishang is an elder and has been in charge of the government for 20 years, when the Great Song Dynasty was prosperous and prosperous! His Majesty is only seventeen years old, not yet the age of pro-government! Your Majesty should return power to the Emperor Taishang and let the Emperor Taishang rule the world! Lord Wang, I hope you will join me in advising the Emperor! Let the Emperor Taishang return to the government! Ge Bing said.

With an earnest expression on his face, he hoped that Wang Shu would agree.

"You're plotting rebellion!" Wang Shu sneered.

"Rebellion? I am for the Great Song Dynasty and for the people of the world! Ge Bing said.

"Someone, take this person down!" Wang Shu shouted.

Suddenly, several servants rushed in from outside, and they pushed Ge Bing to the ground, and after a few moments, more than a dozen soldiers also rushed in.

"Lord Wang, I'm here for the Great Song Dynasty, why are you doing this?" Ge Bing shouted angrily.

"Trying to subvert the imperial court deserves death! Just wait for the court to judge! Wang Shu said coldly.

That night, all the dozen or so ministers who had returned from the north were arrested and imprisoned, and three days later, all the dozen ministers were exiled to the northwest to undergo labor reform!
