It's been a long time since Mingzhou City has been so lively as tonight.

Of course, the excitement belongs to some people, and many people have nothing.

This Qixin Temple was built in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, almost 300 years ago.

In the eighth year of Zhenghe, Emperor Huizong was bewitched by the demon Daolin Lingsu, and changed many Buddhist temples into Taoist temples, so this place is also called Wanshou Palace.

Of course, it has been changed back now, and it is still called Qixin Temple.

The emperor looked at these people in front of him, followed by both the forbidden army and the monks who had just become the masters of this place.

And in front of him, there were all merchants with names and surnames in Mingzhou City, regardless of industry, regardless of size, there were four or five hundred people, all of whom were brought here by Zhao Mi.

These people bowed their heads and shrunk back, and no one knew what was going on.

I just saw that there were many officials in Mingzhou City kneeling around...... If it weren't for the fact that this group of people were wearing Song military uniforms, they would all think that the Jin people had come in.

The forbidden army of the Infantry Military Division brought the last group of people in, and Zhao Duzhi bowed to the emperor and said:

"Official, it's all here."

"Well," Liu Bang nodded, and at a glance, there were really a lot of merchants in Mingzhou.

But compared with the book of the people, it is really not much.

He looked at these people and asked aloud:

"Do you recognize me?"

This is a strange question, you call yourself 'I', and there is no one in the world who doesn't recognize you.

It can't be the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, and he came to Mingzhou.

Seeing that no one answered the emperor, Zhao Mi pulled out his knife: "Are you deaf or dumb, the official family is asking you something!" ”

If it weren't for the forbidden army watching, many people would have collapsed to the ground, and an older old man kept bowing and saying:

"Acquaintance, you are His Majesty the Emperor."

"Acquaintance?" Liu Banghu looked at him suspiciously, "Why doesn't Lao Tzu know you?" ”

The old man burst into tears: "Then I don't know." ”

"Don't recognize?"

The Emperor threw the scroll forward in his hand...... It seems that in the day when the temple was being bowed, the scroll rolled forward for a long time before it finally stopped.

"I don't know, what are you writing this thing for?"

At that time, when the name was written on this thing, everyone knew what it was.

But at that time, Fan was there, who dared not to write?

Besides, everyone has written it, and they all understand the truth that the law does not blame the public, who would have expected that the emperor would come over in person and ask about it.

The old man didn't dare to say anything, for fear that if something was wrong, he would make the emperor unhappy and lose his life.

"It's okay, public opinion, what I value most is public opinion."

"If everyone advises me not to fight, of course I won't be able to fight."

"It's just that I'm afraid that someone will cheat, so I'm here to ask you in person, is this battle to be fought or not?"

From the heart, their ancestors have taken root in Mingzhou, and they have not heard of anything in the north.

But no matter how miserable it is, it didn't hurt me after all, it's the northerners who are miserable, it's your Zhao official family, what do you have to do with everyone?

If this really fights, the waterway of Myeongju Port to the north of Goryeo and Wa Kingdom, where can it still go!

No one dared to speak, but for Liu Bang, the silence of this group of people had already given the answer.

He kindly grabbed the hand of the old man who had just spoken, and was so excited that the old man's whole body trembled:

"It's okay, it's okay, everyone talk about what is in their hearts, I'm here to listen to the truth, everyone just say it."

The emperor's kind appearance really fascinated some people.

The old man said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, do we really have to go back?" ”

"If we can really beat the Jin people, 10,000 little old men support the Northern Expedition, but ...... But we can't beat it! ”

"Since we can't beat it, everyone's life doesn't have much impact, so why should we mess with that ......"

The more he spoke, the quieter he became, only to see the smile on the emperor's face fade.

Liu Bang stepped back: "You all think so? ”

Seeing that half of the people nodded, he sighed softly.

Turning his head and asking Zhao Mi: "The names written on the paper, how are those temples?" ”

Zhao Du comprehended: "The official family, all of them will be changed tonight, and those who were originally there have already taken their degrees on the spot, and they will not be able to be monks in the future." ”

"Then you should mark it out, so that Lao Tzu misunderstands the good people."

Zhao Mi received the order, took a pen on the spot, and drew circles on the long piece of paper.

While painting, he also said to himself: "Baoguo Temple, seventy-two people; Qingdao Temple, sixty-three people; Qixin Temple, 218 people ......"

With each tick of a name, the hearts of the merchants on the scene sank a little.

Emperor this is ...... Is this to drive these masters out of Mingzhou?

"Hey, old man, call you!"

Liu Bang squatted on the steps above and shouted several times before he woke up the old man who had lost his mind:

"You're right, but you're wrong."

"You're the one who hasn't been affected, but others have been greatly affected."

"If you want to make a clear distinction between the north and the south, you should know that the reason why you are able to live a good life here, and say that it is okay if you don't go back, is only because you are lucky, just because the northerners have endured it for you."

"If you don't believe me, I will send you to the Kingdom of Jin, and you will see if you tell the Jin people that you are from the south, and the Jin people will spare your life."

"The northerners have no home, no sons, no daughters, no parents and no daughters-in-law, not because they are northerners, so they should suffer this crime, do you understand?"

"If the situation changes now, it is the south that has been beaten, and the northerners say the same thing as you, do you agree?"

Even if the old man had other ideas, he only dared to reply at this time: "Little Lao'er understands, little Lao'er understands, what the official family said is ......"

"Whether you really understand it or not, I will say it again."

As he spoke, he shouted loudly: "Lu Zai, write it down for Lao Tzu without missing a word, send it to all the state capitals, let them post it, and read it to the people of the world!" ”

Later, he said: "Whether it's a southerner or a northerner, that's our own statement, it's okay." ”

"But externally, whether it's the Jin people or the Xia people, you only have one identity."

"That's the Han people...... Han! ”

He originally wanted to talk about the Song people, but the face of Guo Yaoshi flashed in his mind, so he changed to a Han again.

"Now that the Han people in the north are being bullied and have no home, what should you do?"

Zhao Mi was the first to shout: "Revenge!" ”

The 3,000 men of the Infantry Division also shouted together: "Revenge!" ”

The momentum is so strong that it disturbs the dreams of many people.

"Now I'm asking you, are we still on peace?"

No one dared to say peace anymore, as if no one dared to talk about war back then.

"In this case, everyone's idea is that they all want to fight...... Then the Book of the People is a fake. ”

"Fortunately, I know everyone's intentions and have not been deceived by traitors...... That being the case, let's write a new book for war, and hand it over to your new prefect and send him to Lin'an. ”

"But we have to say that we can't go back on our word, otherwise it won't just be kicked out."

He waved his hand, and the forbidden army who climbed onto the pagoda of Qixin Temple could see it clearly, and threw Fan Tong's body down......

Looking at his corpse swaying, Liu Bang said to the monks:

"It's hanging here, everyone will come and see it when they want to negotiate peace in the future, and they should be prepared in their hearts."

"It's really Amitabha, Amitabha......"

The emperor recited the Buddha's name, and Zhao Mi took a longer volume of the petition that had been written by various temples in Mingzhou.

Everyone paused, and then scrambled to write their names.
