Chapter 36: To Kill or Not to Kill
By mourning the people in the city, Liu Bang stopped the morning court for three days.
It's not that he's lazy...... Well, there are actually some.
I returned to the palace from Sibeilou last night, and told Wang Chan about the livelihood she had made for her father, which moved Wang Jieyu to work very hard.
Even though Liu Ji asked himself about his skills, he had to surrender many times.
This is one of them, and the other one, this official of the Song State has no ability, and everyone in the court is either Qin Hui's mouth, or they just don't speak.
One by one, like himself, they are all waiting for Jin Ren and Yue Fei.
If you talk like this all morning, you can't get to the point.
In this way, it is better to find someone by yourself, and if there is anything you want to ask, just ask.
There is no sun today, and instead of being cool, the weather is very hot.
Liu Bang didn't wear a robe, he only wore an inner body, his hair was not neatly combed, and two strands of hanging hair fell on his forehead.
Although he felt that something was wrong, even Xin Ciying didn't dare to talk nonsense...... He was gagged and scared.
However, it still made a few people in the Hall of Elective Virtue sigh secretly:
What a farmer.
"The rest of that person's party has fallen into my hands, and the people who often go in and out of Sibei Building in Lin'an have also been investigated, and at present, a total of seventy-two people have been detained by the front division of the palace, and eighteen people are still seriously injured, and the remaining sixty-three people are unwilling to surrender and have been executed."
After a pause, Yang Yizhong said again: "After getting rid of the thirty-three prostitutes on the flower boat, the remaining twenty-one people who can still speak are all old and weak. ”
Liu Bang twisted his neck and asked, "Is it interrogated?" How about Mingzhou? ”
"I asked overnight, and all of them had tight mouths, but they hadn't been punished yet, as for Mingzhou...... Zhao Duenvoy has not sent the news yet, and he is about to touch a little later today, and the people from the Bu Military Division can arrive in Mingzhou. ”
There is a distance of four or five hundred miles from Lin'an to Mingzhou, but fortunately, it is connected to the waterway, which can save a lot of time.
Guo Yaoshi's victorious army can't be used for himself, which is Liu Bang's most heart-wrenching thing.
Or don't let yourself know about it, and if you do, you won't be able to get it...... This is the same feeling as when he met Yu Ji back then.
"Official ......" Liu Jian is the same as Yang Yizhong, they are both obedient and honest and wear filial piety, and at this moment they said,
"Guo Yaoshi, the national thief, this time I took this person, should I let the people know?"
Liu Bang understood what he meant, the Jingkang Rebellion started from this person, and the appearance of this person at this time can undoubtedly wash away some of the Zhao family's mistakes.
As a courtier, he is considerate.
However, before Liu Bang could think about it, Xin Ciying, who had not yet taken office on the side, interjected: "What Liu Duenvoy said is very true! There is no doubt that Pharmacist Guo should be punished, and the official family should not be merciful. ”
"This thief is a slave with three surnames, the first emperor treated him so well, but he stole the country and betrayed the master, although he is a Han'er, but he grew up in the land of Liaojin, and there is no difference between the Jurchen Khitan."
"Bastard is also, be killed!"
The more Master Xin spoke, the more angry he became, and the last two words actually roared out.
He, like many people, hated Jin Ren, hated Guo Yaoshi, hated generals who surrendered without a fight, and even hated the seed master Dao 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, but it made Liu Bang think clearly about this kid's intentions at once.
Guo Yaoshi is still nominally a member of the Jin Kingdom, even if the people of the Jin Kingdom have long since wanted him, if he is killed in front of all the Song people, there is no doubt that the Jin Kingdom will be given a chance to play.
Xin Ciying either wanted to force himself to express his intentions, or he wanted to strengthen his determination to go on the Northern Expedition.
Little thing, you want to use Lao Tzu as a knife, right?
didn't rush to express his position, Liu Bang asked Yang Yizhong: "What do you think?" ”
The latter frowned slightly, and his position with Xin Ciying was undoubtedly the same.
Killing Pharmacist Guo is a harmless thing for them.
But......
"The official family, including the three people injured by Qin Liu, the thirty-three prostitutes...... All have other origins. ”
Liu Bang stared at him for a long time, and Yang Du made his forehead ooze sweat.
"Yang Yizhong, if you feel that the errand you received is not satisfactory, you can write a letter of resignation by yourself."
When Yang Duenvoy heard this, he immediately knelt down and said: "It's not that the minister has something to hide, it's just that it's just ......."
"Just what?"
At this time, in Liu Bang's eyes, Yang Yizhong and Xin Ciying mean the same thing.
He didn't finish his words before, and he also wanted to kill Guo Yaoshi so that he could strive to start a war with the Jin people.
Yang Yizhong paused again and again...... The weather was already irritating, and Liu Bang was about to scold, but he just listened:
"Thirty-three prostitutes, all of whom are family members of fallen soldiers of various armies......"
Liu Jian looked at Yang Yizhong suspiciously, and Xin Ciying was also surprised.
Yang Yizhong gritted his teeth: "I haven't been tortured, but some of them have soft mouths and have all told them where they come from." ”
"Since the fifth year of Shaoxing, Sibeilou has been looking for a woman with this identity in Lianghuai...... At first, I just gave them some water and rice to keep them safe. ”
"Later, I let them board the boat and earn their own money."
"Their fathers, brothers, husbands...... The heirs, some from the Zhang family's army, some were under the jurisdiction of Xiang Guangshi before, and there were also people from the Han family's army. ”
"Until now, they don't know what they have done...... Just think it is, just offend Qin Xiang, the three people who were whipped by Qin Liu, thought about sacrificing their lives in exchange for the thoughtfulness of Sibei Building. ”
Liu Bang looked at the gloomy sky outside, and after a long while, he asked:
"Was it persecuted?"
Yang Yizhong said: "No, according to what they said, at first they wanted to save some expenses for Sibeilou, but later someone took a fancy to some of them, so they took them back to their home, and then they rushed to do it." ”
The rain was about to fall, and although it was only noon, the sky was almost completely dark.
The maid who held the lamp lit a candle...... I'm afraid that only the royal family can order dozens of these things at once.
This Xuande Hall was terrifyingly quiet, and since Yang Yizhong knelt down, the three of them no longer dared to look at the emperor's face.
"Get up."
It's not a problem to let him kneel like this, and Liu Bang didn't really want to be angry at him.
Just thinking about it, when the three prostitutes were stripped of their clothes by Qin Liu on the street, those women said in their mouths,
It's better to be dead. ’
I remembered again that the girl from the planting family was not even afraid of death, but after she threatened with the same method, she recruited everything.
In such a place where chastity is so important, the women in Sibei Building sold their bodies one after another.
They can not go.
But they went.
Whenever Liu Bang feels that he has come into contact with the bottom line of the Song Kingdom, it can often come out with a lower bottom line.
The most important thing is that these people are relatives of the soldiers of the Song State.
They even sold their lives to Song Guo, but they still failed to protect their families.
If this goes wrong...... Even if there are ten more Huaixi military mutinies, and another hundred Li Qiong, it is not surprising.
"The military needs of each army are reported, the salaries, grains and grass allocated to each army during these years, and the details of the expenditures handed over by each army each year......"
"Check!"
His voice was extremely indifferent, and even Xin Ciying, the resident of the long-time companion Jun's side, couldn't help but shudder.
