[Chapter Word Count:6018 Last Updated:2015-04-2018:38:57.0]
Songcheng!
One by one, the haggard faces fell to their knees, screaming in mourning.
"Please let the emperor call the shots, return me to the right path, arrest the bandits, and return my property!"
"Your Majesty, the grass people pay countless taxes every year, and now the family wealth has been robbed, please ask the emperor to be the master!"
"Your Majesty, Master Pang instructed the servants to rob my family of property, and I implore the Emperor to punish Master Pang for punishment!"
"Your Majesty, the grass people have evidence, Master Pang's servants robbed me of my property and set up servants as bandits, please punish the emperor!"

They are all merchants from Songcheng, and at this moment, they are holding paper one by one, kneeling at the entrance of the palace, crying and waiting for the emperor to make the decision.
And not far away in an attic.
Gu Hai and Gu Han looked at the group of merchants who sued the emperor in front of them, and a coldness flashed in their eyes.
"Father-in-law, the leaders at the front are our people!" Gu Han pointed to the distance.
Gu Hai nodded: "Wait slowly, there will be more and more people suing the emperor next, not only Song City, but also the wealthy merchants of the Sifang City will come to sue the royal court." ”
"That Pang Taishi also deserves it, his appearance is too ugly! These days, he actually commanded all his servants and subordinates to participate in the robbery of shops, and wanted to fish in troubled waters? Heh, we have been prepared for a long time, and all of them have been recorded!" Gu Han said with a smile.
"Master Pang, you are a deflated old man, I can't imagine that you are so greedy!" Gu Hai sighed.
"It doesn't matter if you're greedy, the most unaccustomed thing for the child is that this old guy is disrespectful to the old, and he's getting old, and he's still scourging, almost every three days, in the eyes of their group of rotten aristocrats, this may be called fun, but in my opinion, it's disgusting, shameless, I've heard that there have been more than a dozen **, and this old guy has been killed!
"So, retribution is coming!" Gu Hai sneered.
"Father-in-law, will King Song really behead Master Pang? he is King Song's teacher after all!" Gu Han said with some worry.
"Heh, teacher, King Song is all right to his own grandson, let alone a courtier?" Gu Hai sneered.
"Hmm!" Gu Han nodded with a frown.
"Presumably, at this time, the news of Chen Jun's entry into the territory of the Song Kingdom has already reached the court!"
"It should have been heard, the child saw eight hundred miles rushing into the palace!" Gu Han nodded.
"The news of the defeat of the frontline must have also come, the cities in various places have no resistance at all, the army of the Chen State is still in a no-man's land, the people and the army of the Song State do not want to serve the country, how can the King of Song not be afraid?
"If the place is changed, the child must also be panicked, the Song Kingdom seems to have collapsed, only maintaining the unity on the surface, and the national disaster is at the head!" Gu Han worried.
"Yes, the national disaster is at the head, the people's hearts have been lost, and they are terminally ill! It's like a sick adult, when he encounters a child who kills him with a knife, although the adult is powerful, but now he is sick and can't move, so he can only let the child slaughter, if you give the adult time to recuperate, then you can still recover your vitality, but now, there is no time for the adult!" Gu Hai took a sip of tea.
"The most lacking thing in the Song Kingdom is time, the army of the Chen Kingdom is pressing, at this speed, it should not be long before it can reach Song City and destroy the Song Kingdom!"
"So, at this time, you can only do your best to heal a part of the adult's body, at least to stop the child!" Gu Hai said with a deep smile.
"Doctors, how to get medical treatment, cheap people, at the moment to reject the Song State, even more willing to die. And the people who have suffered losses already hate and resent the Song Kingdom at this moment, how can they still save the Song Kingdom?" Gu Han frowned.
"The people of the Song Kingdom are divided into two kinds at the moment, those who suffer losses and those who gain cheap. Both sides are unwilling to fight for the country, so they can only choose one side to appease. Can you appease if you have to be cheap?" Guhai taught.
"Pardon the crime of robbery in the world and let them resist Chen Jun?" Gu Han's expression moved.
"Is it feasible?" asked Gu Hai again.
"Well, it doesn't seem to work, if their sins are forgiven, those people who have suffered losses will immediately rebel, and the Song State will be in chaos, continue to rob, continue to kill, maybe without the Chen army, the Song State will collapse on its own immediately! Besides, those who get cheap may not join the army, they get cheap and lose their patriotism, as long as they enjoy their wealth and prosperity, it doesn't matter whether the country is Chen or Song!" Gu Han thought for a while.
"If you can't appease the cheap, you can only appease the loss!" Gu Hai said with confidence in his eyes.
"Pacify the group of merchants who are kneeling in front of the palace, and the people who have not grabbed things and been robbed?" Gu Han looked at the square.
"Yes, but how can they be appeased, can their belongings be recovered?" Gu Hai said with a smile.
"It's absolutely impossible, those belongings have been robbed, and now they have long been hidden by the cheaper people, how can the fat in the mouth be spit out? If it is enforced, it will definitely be even more chaotic, and the group of cheap people will definitely resist, and the more trouble it gets, the worse it gets!" said Gu Han's expression.
"What then?" Gu Hai pointed.
"Accountability!" Gu Han's expression moved.
"How do you chase?" Gu Hai said with a smile.
"Killing, shocking people's hearts, venting people's anger!" Gu Han's expression moved.
"Kill whom?"
"As long as he can vent the anger of the people, King Song can kill anyone, and anyone will kill him! Even the crown prince, he will kill too!" Gu Han said with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"Therefore, this third battle is the easiest, the general trend has been achieved, there is no reversal, we are just pushing the boat down the river and speeding up the process!" Gu Hai said with a smile.
"Yes, the child understands. This Pang Taishi, do you deserve it?" Gu Han's eyes brightened.
Gu Hai nodded-
Song City, above the court.
"The Chen army has already entered our Song Kingdom, and the border city was defeated after only one day? What about Gao Xianzhi? What about Gao Xianzhi!" Prince Song said angrily.
King Song sat on the dragon chair, his face constantly changing. The minister below was also restless.
Prince Song shouted angrily at the group of people who reported the news.
"Scattered, all scattered, the tall and handsome army is also in chaos, there is no way to stop it, everyone has run away, no one resists, some good people even helped to open the city gate, Chen Jun is still in a no-man's land, only encountered a little resistance!" said the messenger bitterly.
"The people's hearts have been lost, and the arrival of the Chen army has made the situation worse?" said Liu Chengxiang, who was headed by the right column, with an ugly face.
"What should I do? The people and soldiers are unwilling to fight, are they disappointed in our Song Kingdom? This ancient sea is too terrible!"
"It's mainly the previous decision, when the ancient Song Dynasty silver shop was robbed, it shouldn't be encouraged. You can't start this way!"
"Yes, if you don't start this, the people's hearts will not be lost!"
........................
............
......
The ministers kept complaining at the moment.
Prince Song showed a trace of bitterness, turned his head and said: "Father, the son is guilty, he was also angry with Gu Hai in his heart at the beginning, and after listening to the fallacy of the businessman Tian Han, the son also regretted not being at the beginning, but when I went to find Tian Han again, the others had already run away." Tianfu people go to the empty building!"
"Tian Han, Tian Han, Tian is terrible!" Prime Minister Liu Cheng's face changed greatly.
"Huh?" everyone looked at Prime Minister Liu.
"Your Majesty, the old minister knows who Tian Han is, Tian Han, Tian is stacked with ten mouths, and ten mouths are still ancient, but one is 'ten in the mouth', and the other is 'ten in the mouth'!"
"Tian Han, Gu Han, Gu Hai's second righteous son?" the ministers suddenly changed their faces wildly.
"Poof!" Prince Song's face softened and fell to the ground.
I originally guessed that Tian Han was Gu Hai's person, but I never thought that it would be Gu Hai's righteous son?
"Gu Hai!" King Song's face was extremely ugly.
"Your Majesty, for the sake of today's plan, you must appease the grievances of a group of people and let them resist Chen Jun!" said Liu Cheng bitterly.
"Prime Minister, you say, how to appease the people's grievances, as long as you can appease the people's grievances and encourage the people to resist Chen Jun, I will agree!" King Song looked at Prime Minister Liu anxiously.
Prime Minister Liu Cheng was silent for a moment, and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, now, if you want to return the looted property, it is obviously impossible, it is too late, Chen Jun came non-stop." Even if we use all the money in our treasury, we will not be able to fill this hole. It's so hard to quench people's anger!"
"Make it clear to the people that I don't want to do this, as long as the people return to their hearts, as long as the people are willing to resist Chen's army, I am willing to meet the requirements they can meet. King Song said anxiously.
"To eliminate the anger of the people, the resentment of the people, and the disappointment of the people, it is necessary to eliminate the first evil, kill people and eliminate evil, and correct the hearts of the people. Only then can the people trust me again!" Prime Minister Liu Cheng said in a deep voice.
"The first evil, the first evil is the ancient sea and the ancient Han!" King Song frowned.
"Yes, but if we can't find them, how can we get rid of the evil? Then go to the next level, at the beginning, who is the one who proposes to indulge the people into bandits? Who is the one who provokes the people? Who is the one who is the people to pursue it?" Prime Minister Liu Cheng said in a deep voice.
"Huh?" In the court, he instantly fell into a strange anger.
"Prime Minister Liu, are you going to kill me?" Prince Song's face changed suddenly.
"Prime Minister Liu, what do you mean by that?" Master Pang also changed his face.
Prime Minister Liu Cheng said with a slight bitterness: "The prince is the continuation of the country, and he should not be killed lightly." Otherwise, it will make matters worse. At the beginning, the prince proposed, Master Pang, you were the first to support it, I thought you were thinking about the Song Kingdom, but I never thought that you were for yourself, Taishi. This time, the people are bandits, and Taishi is the biggest winner, right? There are domestic servants and subordinates who rob them, and at the same time, they should strategize at the first time, let their domestic servants quickly rush to the Sifang City, and let your protégés and former officials immediately join in the robbery, you Pang Taishi has robbed the most, and the Song Kingdom is now in chaos, you can't escape the blame!"
"Wow!" In the hall, there was an uproar.
Prime Minister Liu Cheng is going to fight with Taishi Pang?
"Bastard, Prime Minister Liu Cheng, is it just the old man's command, you don't have it?"
"But no one is as ugly as you eat, do you know whose names the group of victims are shouting at the moment outside the palace? They have listed all the charges of Master Pang on the paper, and your charges are very clear and clear, and the people want to kill you, and only by killing you can they eliminate the grievances of the people. Please also ask Taishi Pang to sacrifice his life for my Great Song Dynasty and for the country!" Prime Minister Liu Cheng suddenly saluted Taishi Pang.
"I implore Master Pang Taishi to sacrifice his life for the country!" a group of ministers bowed down.
"Bastards, you, you!" Master Pang pointed at the ugly faces of everyone.
King Song sat on the dragon chair, his eyelids jumped wildly, and he looked at Taishi Pang at the moment, and he didn't know how to express his mood for a while.
"Your Majesty, the old minister has commanded the family, but not only the old minister, the Manchu Dynasty has a part in the civil and military, this qiē is all a conspiracy of Gu Hai!" Pang Taishi suddenly exclaimed.
"Master Pang, the people want you to die, if you don't die, my Song Kingdom will no longer exist, for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, I implore Master Pang to sacrifice his life for the country!"
"I implore Master Pang to sacrifice his life for the country!" all the ministers once again bowed to Master Pang.
"You, you!" said Master Pang looked at all the ministers with a look of horror.
In the past, this group of ministers was extremely supportive of themselves, and when they gave an order, all the voices of 'ministers seconded', among them, there were many protégés and former officials, but at this time, everyone let themselves die?
Pang Taishi suddenly was in a trance, as if suddenly, he saw Gu Hai standing on top of the court at this moment, wearing battle armor, holding a long sword in his hand, pointing at himself, and with an order, all the ministers became Gu Hai's subordinates, listening to Gu Hai's orders, and forcing themselves to die?
Pang Taishi's hairs exploded in an instant.
King Song stood up from the dragon chair, walked in front of Pang Taishi, and suddenly saluted Pang Taishi and said: "Taishi, the national crisis is at the head, I implore Taishi to serve the country and the people!"
Pang Taishi's whole body was cold.
This Gu Hai is no longer commanding the ministers, even the King of Song is commanding, commanding the King of Song to force himself to die?
After a stumble, Pang Taishi suddenly laughed in despair: "Hahahahahaha!"
"Lao Chen has experienced the three dynasties of the Song Dynasty, worked hard for the Great Song Dynasty for 70 years, experienced many ups and downs, solved many problems, and worked hard for the Great Song Dynasty, but in the end it was ......!"
"Taishi!" King Song said with a bitter face.
"Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't blame you, it's just that the ancient sea is too terrifying, the old minister is not long now, and he won't live long, may my sacrifice bring good luck to the Great Song Dynasty!"
"Taishi Gaoyi!" everyone bowed down-
Day 2.
Under the watchful eye of Song Cheng. When he was a court master, he was listed one after another and tied up to the entrance of the vegetable market.
For a while, all the people of Songcheng went, looking at this 'culprit', the people's hearts that had been lost suddenly had a trace of return at this moment.
"That's Master Pang!"
"Well deserved!"
"It's all to blame for Master Pang, who ruined my family!"
"I heard that the emperor also ordered to raid Pang Taishi's house and return all the stolen goods to us!"
"Great, long live the emperor!"
........................
..................
......
Pang Taishi knelt on the torture platform, with a trace of hideousness on his face: "Gu Hai, Wu'er will definitely avenge me!"
"Slash!"
"Bang!"
Blood poured into the sky, when the court Taishi, under one person, above 10,000 people, protégés and officials all over the world, the powerful Pang Taishi, in order to vent the anger of the people, was beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market.
For a while, Song Cheng slowly regained a trace of anger, and the resentment of the people was also eliminated.
And Gu Hai and Gu Han, who were standing at the back of the crowd, let out a long breath.
"Okay, Master Pang is dead, let's start, this battle is coming to an end!" Gu Hai said with a hint of excitement.
"Yes!" said Gu Han excitedly.
The news that Pang Taishi was beheaded quickly spread to the Quartet of the Song Kingdom.
The lords of each city have received this shocking news.
Master Pang instructed the servants to rob the people's property, and they should be beheaded to correct the law of the country!
Song State, Rongcheng. The main hall of the castle lord's mansion.
The city lord of Rong looked at this news from Song City, and the whole person was stunned.
"How is it possible, Taishi Pang? How can it behead him? Rob the people's wealth? He is a Taishi!" said the Rong City Lord's face ugly.
"Sir, we ...... too!" said one of the butlers worriedly.
"What are you afraid of? No one knows, that Pang Taishi just went too far, and was caught by the people, we did it very secretly, it's okay!" said the city lord with a raised eyelid.
"Oh no, no, sir!" said a man who ran quickly into the hall.
"What's wrong?" the Rong City Lord's eyes widened.
The family immediately took out a piece of paper and said: "Master, it's not good, I don't know who sorted it out, now it's spread everywhere in Rongcheng, bring back a copy of the small one!"
The Rong City Lord snatched it up, looked at it carefully, and looked at it, and the Rong City Lord was in a cold sweat all over his body.
"How is it possible, this is all the robbery I ordered? Who to rob, who to rob, who to rob, who to send to rob are all recorded in such detail? I don't remember myself, how can it be recorded so clearly? This is the evidence of the crime?" exclaimed the Rong City Lord.
"I don't know, I don't know who passed it on!" the family shook his head.
"Could it be Gu Hai? He was already ready, so he had already sent someone to keep an eye on him?" the butler said worriedly.
"Master, I also heard that many people have gone out of the city to sue the imperial capital with this accusation!" said the family.
"What?
Pang Taishi, such a noble person, was beheaded in front of conclusive evidence, and he was compared to Pang Taishi?
"Master, what should I do now? Now Chen Jun is about to call!" the butler said worriedly.
The face of the Rong City Lord was cloudy and uncertain.
"Song Guo, there is no point in staying in Song Guo any longer, notify all the officials to come, we, we surrender to Chen Guo, we take Rongcheng and ask Chen Guo to surrender!"
"Huh?" said the two in amazement.
Chen Liangyi led the army slowly towards the capital of the Song Dynasty.
At first, there was some small resistance, but then, a strange scene happened.
When Chen Liangyi's army arrived, the city gate opened in the distance, and the city officials greeted him very kindly, crying with a handful of snot and tears, and they missed themselves. The tone expressed his infinite hatred for Song and his infinite love for Chen.
In that scene, the listener wept, and the listener was sad, crying and shouting to bow down before him. As if they didn't let themselves accept them as their younger brothers, they killed themselves on the spot.
"What's the situation?"
Chen Liangyi's face was dazed. When Gu Qin asked him to bring troops out, he was still a little worried, but what he saw and heard after entering the Song Kingdom subverted all of Chen Liangyi's cognition.
Chen Tianshan was also at a loss at the moment.
"This is Song Guo?" Chen Tianshan said strangely.
It was not so exaggerated to recover the lost land of Chen State at the beginning, it has only been a long time, and the city of Song Kingdom is not going to be captured, but one by one the city lords are rushing to hand over the rights to themselves.
Am I dreaming?
Chen Liangyi and Chen Tianshan were in a state of confusion, subduing a large area of the Song State on the river in a daze, what kind of subjugation is this, it is simply a white pick-up, and the white pick-up is not so fast. It's a free giveaway, scrambling to shoehorn it into itself.
Chen Liangyi's entire worldview is about to be subverted.
Regardless of the people, officials, and troops, they did not reject themselves along the way.
What's wrong with this Song Kingdom?
Chen Jun slowly marched towards Song City.
In the city of Song, when the king of Song heard the news from all over the country, he was eager to crash to death on the pillar of the main hall, and made another stupid move, imprisoned the prince, and killed the prince. Now the city of the Song Kingdom is rapidly decreasing.
King Song didn't know yet. At this moment, the ministers of Songcheng, the capital of the court, also showed a look of horror.
Because, in the hands of each minister, they received an inexplicable piece of paper, on which it was written how they instructed their family members to rob the people's wealth, which was more detailed than the original crime of Master Pang.
One crime after another made almost all ministers feel hopeless.
Master Pang has all been killed, so what about us?
The accusations are like a mountain weighing on the heart of every minister. The ministers were all in chaos in an instant, and they quickly rushed to the other ministers' mansions to discuss.
The number of people kneeling outside the palace gradually increased, and people from the major cities of the Song Kingdom came from inside the Song City. Hundreds of people are asking the emperor to continue to call the shots.
At this moment, King Song was at a loss and sat alone in the hall. I don't know what to do.
Whoa!
At this time, Prime Minister Liu Cheng stepped into the main hall with a large number of courtiers.
"Prime Minister Liu Cheng, you are here, what should be the situation now? I heard that Chen Jun will arrive in Songcheng in less than five days. King Song was powerless.
The courtiers looked at each other.
"Your Majesty, I'm offended!" said Prime Minister Liu Cheng.
"Huh?" King Song's face changed.
"Come on, take down the emperor, open the gate of the Quartet, and welcome King Chen into the city!"
"What are you doing, what are you doing?" King Song's face changed.
"Your Majesty, we are also forced to be helpless, we can't fight Guhai. We are also forced to do so. Please also ask the emperor to fulfill it!" Prime Minister Liu Cheng said bitterly.
"Please also ask the emperor to fulfill it!" the ministers saluted.
"You, you, you still have the heart of a courtier, I am the emperor, I am the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, you dare!" King Song shouted with wide eyes.
"The emperor is mediocre, so that our ministers have lost their hearts, the general trend is inevitable, the emperor, your group of secret guards have been controlled by us, and it is in vain to struggle again!"
The heart of the minister has been lost!
