Chapter 680: Farewell to the Old Man and Return to the Hometown
He You's face immediately changed greatly, and in a hurry, he actually knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
A trace of coldness flashed in Liu He's eyes, but the corners of his mouth curved into an even more creepy arc, and said, "Who are you kneeling to?" Who are you kowtowing? ”
He You, who suddenly woke up, immediately sat down on the ground with a face like ashes, and said nothing more. Among the courtiers, there was no big gift of kneeling and kowtowing, let alone He You, who was ranked in Jiuqing, was making this great gift to Liu He, who had no real job at all.
The number of rituals that should be preached should be mentioned, but what can be done is the sin of killing the head.
As Jiuqing, in front of the Son of Heaven, he knelt and bowed to a cloth cloth, and his crime should be beheaded.
The civil and military officials watched as the world-famous Mr. Zixu He You was dragged out of the hall by the guards, and after the kung fu of half a pillar of incense, there was a bloody human head in the middle of the hall.
Everyone in the hall held their breath and stared, and they didn't dare to gasp when they lowered their heads, for fear of raising their heads, and just staring at the young man who was sitting next to the Son of Heaven and inviting death.
The newly cut off head exuded a bloody smell, and the dignitaries who were the most reluctant to slaughter pigs and dogs on weekdays had no time to take care of this disgusting smell, and there was only one thought in their hearts, how to survive this sudden bloody storm.
Liu He was still squinting, scanning everything in the hall, all of them were sanctimonious, but no one dared to raise their heads to face him at this time, which shows how far the chaos in Yizhou's officialdom has reached.
Liu He slowly stood up, saluted Liu Chan, the Son of Heaven, and said, "The minister has drafted a list for Your Majesty to see." ”
The little mouse immediately stepped forward, took the list from Liu He's hand, and put it on Liu Chan's dragon case.
Looking at the list, Liu Chan was a little overwhelmed, and he didn't even realize that Liu He was asking for instructions, and looked up at the master, but saw that Liu He had already turned around, looked straight ahead, and was looking at an old man in the main hall.
The old man's name is Meng Xi, when Liu Yan took over the pastor of Yizhou, he was already mixed like a fish in water in the officialdom of Yizhou, Yizhou changed hands three times, until the establishment of the Shu Han Dynasty, the old man is still qualified to stand on this Jinluan Treasure Palace, in addition to the reputation accumulated over the years, it also shows his official deeds.
Meng Xi, who is also ranked in Jiuqing and worships Dasi Nong, is not afraid of the young man next to the Son of Heaven, the reason why he can have a place next to the previous lords of Yizhou is only the same, the breeze on his sleeves.
As the saying goes, when people walk by the river, how can they not get their shoes wet, but the old people who have been in the officialdom of Yizhou for decades do not even go to the river at all, they have been living in a shallow way, and never socialize with others.
This trick can be described as tried and tested, and no one will not open their eyes to an old man over seventy years old to think about this so-called physical discomfort, what kind of discomfort it is.
Meng Xi's house is not big, he has only married one daughter-in-law in his life, and there is only one old servant who is a few years older than him.
When it comes to this, the old woman who has been in love with Meng Xi for decades always secretly wipes her tears, and the people will also think of the old man's incorruptibility, so they sigh, but the old man who worships Dasi Nong himself is very open, and once drank a few more cups and chatted with the old servant in the house, and the old servant who has followed the master for more than ten years suddenly realized.
That day, under the old locust tree in the house, the drunken old man smiled and said that he had no children and no daughters, no greed and no ambition, and no selfishness to seek a blessing for future generations, so that he could have a good death.
is worthy of his heart, and may be the biggest capital of this old man who dares to look directly at Liu He in the palace.
For Meng Xi's details, Liu He, who had already planned to make waves in the court, naturally knew it well, and he didn't want to embarrass this rumored old man who had never been greedy for a copper plate in his life, and for a moment and a half, he couldn't figure out whether the old man was embarrassed by his mind again.
The stiff Dasi Nong suddenly retracted his gaze, turned his head, looked outside the hall, looked at the clear sky, and sighed as if no one was around: "The sky in Yizhou is finally going to change." ”
The old man's tone was as plain as water, but it aroused the stunned eyes of the people around him, for fear that the old man's unscrupulous unscrupulous anger would anger the guy next to the dragon chair of the Son of Heaven.
Liu He didn't rush to make a move, he still looked at the old man with a smile, until the old man put away his emotional expression, turned around again and said loudly: "Old minister Meng Xi, please play if you have something!" ”
Liu Chan was stunned for a moment, secretly glanced at the master, and then at the father, but the former was looking at His Highness's people coldly, and the latter was looking straight ahead, and no one gave him any signal.
At that moment, the young son of heaven vaguely seemed to understand a truth, the two people around him who he relied on the most, even if they were like fathers and teachers, there were some things that he still needed to face alone.
"Speak!" A simple word, but it attracted Liu He and Zhuge Liang at the same time, and the two were surprised to find that between the eyebrows and eyes of the young emperor, there was a kind of extraordinary calmness that they had never seen.
Meng Xi immediately knelt down under His Royal Highness, and said: "Minister Meng Xi is old, I ask to resign from the post of Great Si Nong, and I implore Your Majesty to tell the old man to return to his hometown!" ”
Rao is Liu Chan had made all the preparations, but he still didn't know how to deal with it for a while, the little mouse walked to Liu Chan's side, opened the list that Liu He had just handed over, spread it out in front of the young emperor, and then returned to his original position.
Liu Chan glanced at the contents of the list, and after seeing the name behind the official position of Dasi Nong, he immediately understood and said to Meng Xi, who was kneeling under His Highness: "Quasi-play!" ”
The Son of Heaven gave an order, and the hundreds of military officials in the palace suddenly appeared.
Among these ministers, they are roughly divided into two categories, one is the young officials who have just risen to the top of the Yizhou officialdom, and most of them are frightened, fearing that they will be affected by this storm and be involved in it.
And those old ministers who have been in the officialdom for many years have a much calmer expression than before, and some even cast a grateful look at Meng Xi.
In the eyes of young officials, Meng Xi is obviously the only old minister who can speak for everyone, and the act of returning to his hometown may be able to protect his life, but it pushes other officials to the edge of the cliff.
