Chapter 112

"Duan Qing?"

"Lord Duan?"

The civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty did not recognize this Confucian minister who had fought against Liu Ji, Liu Jimen was all over the world at that time, and the power was overwhelming, no one dared to say a word in front of Liu Ji, only Duan Qing was not afraid of power, and Liu Ji openly theorized in the court, although he ended up in the tragedy of being thrown into the prison, but he had such courage that the original literati and doctors were impressed, and some Qingliu people still admired Duan Qing from the bottom of their hearts.

"You...... Actually not dead?" Liu Zhi patted his head, he actually forgot about this old stubbornness, and put him in prison at the beginning, removing Liu Ji's last stumbling block in the court, I thought that he would never be able to turn over, but I didn't expect him to appear on such an important occasion today.

"Haha...... Liu Gongzi, I've disappointed you. You Liu ‖'s father and son are full of evil, I didn't expect God to open my eyes and spare my life, my old bones will drag you away half of your breath even if you die. Duan Qing said indignantly.

"Lord Duan, you came out of the prison for such a big matter, I, the head of the ministry, don't know anything, and today I came to the court to talk nonsense, ignoring the laws of the Wu Dynasty, isn't it presumptuous?" Zhou Youshan, the head of the ministry, stood up and pointed at Duan Qing's nose and scolded.

Liu Zhi sat there with a calm face, completely losing the composure just now, his heart was in a mess, Duan Qing's appearance completely disrupted his plans, this old thing still has some prestige in the court, and he has to guard against it.

"Who are you?" Duan Qing looked at the young man in front of him, he didn't know him at all, and he didn't know what kind of pig friend Liu Ji was.

"Zhou Youshan, the head of the ministry!" Zhou Youshan looked at Duan Qing and said arrogantly.

"Zhou Youshan, Zhou Youshan?" Duan Qing couldn't think of that there was such a figure in the court.

"Now there is a miasma of smoke in the court, and any cat or dog can enter the room, which is really laughing off people's big teeth. Duan Qing glanced at Zhou Youshan coldly and said loudly.

"You...... How dare you slander the imperial court officials?" Zhou You's kind nose was about to crook.

"The imperial court has changed its order, which imperial court appoints your officials? Do you want to talk about it?" Duan Qing didn't even look at them.

"I am the year of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the first champion of Kejia, the emperor wears flowers and rides horses in the palace for a day, famous and shared, how did I become a cat and a dog in the mouth of Lord Duan as an official for the court, are you slandering or slandering the court?" Zhou Youshan was ruthless. Liu Zhi nodded slightly in his heart when he heard this, even if he didn't see the wrong person, it was really not good to face a scholar like Duan Qing without a learned person.

The Wu Dynasty has had an ancestral system since ancient times, and new students in the year of Dabi need to serve in Wensong Pavilion for five years before they can be released as local parents, and those who have political achievements in the local area also need to be promoted at the local level to be local officials, and only those who have made contributions to quelling chaos can enter the court as officials, which will take more or less fifteen years, may I ask what merit do you have to enter the Ministry of Officials to be the main worker, and what virtue do you have to be able to make a big statement in this court?" Duan Qing glared at Zhou Youshan and asked.

"You ......" Zhou Youshan has been an official for so many years, all of them are attached to Liu Ji, and he has risen step by step, as for these ancestral systems of the Wu Dynasty, he really hasn't studied them carefully, Duan Qing's words, every word is like a thunderbolt in the clear sky to deter Zhou Youshan.

"Old Monster Duan, it doesn't make sense for you to find out these things about Chen Sesame and rotten grains today, the matter we discussed today has nothing to do with you, please calm down, can you listen to me?" Liu Zhi listened to Zhou Youshan's choked speechlessness, and the favorable scene suddenly turned to Duan Qing's side.

"Lord Liu, can I call you that?" Duan Qing said in a slightly mocking tone.

"Lord Duan, please make it clear if you have anything to say, there is no need to beat around the bush, you are an elder, I will always be just a student in front of you!" Liu Zhi studied the way of Confucius and Mencius under Duan Qing when he was a child, it stands to reason that Liu Zhi should call Duan Qing a master, the style of respecting teachers in the society of the Wu Dynasty is prevalent, and the idea of being a teacher for one day and a father for life is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"Okay! Even if you didn't fight with me in your early years, Liu Zhi, do you know the origin of your name back then?" Duan Qing was naturally taller in the face of people of Liu Zhi's generation, Duan Qing watched these children grow up little by little, and naturally had a sense of superiority in his heart that could be said to be relying on the old and selling the old.

"Lord Duan, we really don't want to talk about these old things today, what do you have to say after retreating from the court, let's talk all night in my house!" Liu Zhi really didn't want to deal with this grinding old man at all, but the face was still passable, which made Liu Zhi in a dilemma, if Duan Qing was allowed to mess around here, his plan would be completely ruined.

"Liu Zhi, don't forget, when I gave you this name, my original intention was to hope that you would become a useful talent with both wisdom and courage, and make a modest contribution to our Wu Dynasty, but now you look at what you have done, gathering ordinary rabble to persecute today's saints, such a big rebellion, aren't you afraid of destroying the Nine Clans?" Duan Qing suddenly said in a tone of hatred that iron is not steel, he still wants to persuade Liu Zhi to turn back to Shi'an, this is also for the original master-apprentice love.

"Lord Duan, it's too late to say anything now, today's Wu Dynasty is no longer what it used to be, the big waves wash the sand, the sea is crossing, this is the inevitable trend of history, you say that instead of letting such an incompetent emperor sit on the country, it is better to let our Liu family take charge of the overall situation! Now the Wu Dynasty is full of our Liu family, from the imperial court to the border fortress, from the snow mountains to the sea, where is not our Liu family father and son to their Wu family, natural selection, survival of the fittest This is the eternal truth, don't you really understand these truths? Liu Zhi said that he was generous, and he actually stood up on his own.

"What a natural selection, are you still a chirp of the primitive tribe? Have you eaten all the loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness that you told you back then?" Duan Qing shouted angrily.

"That's enough! Don't mention those back then? Everything will not go back to the past, and the person sitting on the dragon chair today has to go if he doesn't leave!" Liu Zhi seemed to be ready to turn over the last hole card.

"You dare!" Duan Qing suddenly stood alone in front of the emperor's dragon chair, as if he had already attacked with a blade.

"Lord Duan, please take care of yourself!" More than a dozen Praetorian Guards suddenly rushed in outside the door, these soldiers have always only obeyed the emperor's orders, today under Liu Zhi's loud shout, the Praetorian Guards actually rushed in without authorization, and the emperor also felt an unprecedented sense of despair, but he didn't expect Liu Zhi to actually buy off the Praetorian Guards.

"You actually don't listen to the emperor's orders, aren't you afraid of going to the eighteenth layer of hell after death?" Duan Qing was shocked to see that the Praetorian Guards actually obeyed Liu Zhi's arrangement, the Praetorian Guards of the Wu Dynasty were all teenagers who were led into the palace since childhood, they accompanied the growth and expansion of the emperor, and belonged to the emperor's absolute cronies, but he didn't expect that even the Praetorian Guards today turned the spearhead against the current emperor, these Praetorian Guards had just joined, they had made a poisonous oath, and they would always be loyal to the emperor, once they violated the oath, they would always suffer from the hell of Abi, and they would never be able to turn over。

"Someone! What are you still doing in a daze! Invite Lord Duan and the emperor out!" Liu Zhi said impatiently to the Praetorian Guards.

There were many civil and military whisperers in the Manchu Dynasty, most of them dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and some of them were overjoyed, which can be described as a few happy and a few sad, Duan Qing was blocked by the Praetorian Guards before he could say a few words, and he couldn't say a word.

"Don't say it, don't you say it, I'll say a few words!" Liu Zhi saw Duan Qing being tied up by Wuhuada, obviously showing that sense of superiority in front of them.

"From today on, I will officially worship my father Liu Ji as the emperor of the Wu Dynasty, and be in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and we will work together to create the glory of the Wu Dynasty. Liu Zhi saw that the emperor was also escorted down the dragon chair, and he unconsciously walked towards the gilded dragon chair, and he could feel the temptation brought by the power gradually approaching him as he walked.

Liu Zhi walked to the front of the dragon chair and watched carefully for a long time, his mind suddenly flashed with a burst of unconfident voices, the power of Tongtian is in front of you, if you don't take the future at this time, you will definitely wait hard?

"Liu Zhi, you will not die a good death, the crime of killing Zhongliang in vain, the second crime of corruption, the three crimes of selling officials, and the punishment for several crimes, even if you become the emperor, sooner or later you will be drowned in the mouths of the people. Duan Qing talked about Liu Zhijia's staggered schemes, and now that such a person is going to be the emperor, then he naturally has all kinds of reluctance in his heart.

"Drag it down, drag it down......" Liu Zhi waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to escort Duan Qing and the emperor down.

"Everything is new, from today onwards, the world of the Wu Dynasty is surnamed Liu! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Zhou Youshan took the lead in kneeling on the palace road in the palace, and behind him were hundreds of civil and military officials, and a cadre of people was waiting to worship the heavens.

"Let's not mess around now, put my father's tablet on the dragon chair, and wait for a day or two for his old man to return to the court, let's not be too late." Liu Zhi sat on the chair and looked at the crowd with great reluctance.

The allure of power is endless, and the relationship between Liu ‖'s father and son is difficult to resist the power of power.

"Liu Zhi!" Zhou Youshan suddenly called out Liu Zhi's name directly, which was absolutely impossible to happen in the past.

"Lord Zhou, what do you have to say!" Liu Zhi saw that Zhou Youshan suddenly became excited, and he must have something to say in his heart.

"Since ancient times, heroes have been teenagers, and when we reach an age like ours, some things will really become inadequate, whether Lord Liu has come to visit the mountains and rivers recently, or to concentrate on retreat, the purpose of his absence from the imperial court is to exercise your son!"
