Chapter 50(1/2)

: Taboo, going to court (please read it!!)

Author: almost fire

: Taboo, going to court (please read it!!)

The Sun Also Rises.

On the fifteenth day after the Spring Equinox, everything is clean and clear.

Suitable for burial, sacrifice, and relocation of graves.

Taboo, go to court.

All that was left in the palace was dust and smoke, scattered among the eaves and corners.

Hundreds of officials entered the queue.

Yang Zhong was still at the head of the hundred officials, kowtowing and paying homage.

"Is the late emperor a foolish king?"

"Tianxian Tianxian, the emperor of Tianxian Dynasty, can he really use his talents to appoint talents?"

Tianxian was the reign title of the late emperor when he was in power. Liu Ke just said this, which frightened the courtiers who had just paid their respects. No one dared to speak.

That's your father, you don't know whether he's unconscious or not?

In the end, Yang Zhong still came out, bowed his hands and said:

"The late Emperor ascended to the throne at a time of crisis. Although he failed to turn the tide, there are still merits. It's just that the current situation is such that fate plays tricks on people, so he is not a foolish emperor."

"Then, gentlemen, please read this letter of "Governing the People" first!

Liu Ke immediately asked people to spread it around.

The more I look at it, the more something is wrong. It’s okay to criticize the late emperor, but how can I also criticize the noble family?

Is it because the great Han Dynasty fell to this point because he re-employed members of aristocratic families?

Even if it is, we can’t admit it!

A minister from a noble family immediately came out and retorted:

"This book is called "Zhi Min Shu", but in fact it is just borrowing the word "ruling the people" to pursue fame and fortune, thinking that it will make you famous!"

"Who composed this?! If Your Majesty acts in this way, it will only give him a good reputation for a lifetime and will be of no use to the country!"

There's nothing wrong with it, this minister's analysis is quite right.

Liu Ke not only knew that the person who wrote the memorial was pursuing fame and fortune, but he also knew that that person was seeking a good reputation in this life to save his life.

But is this important?

All he wants is the content of governing the people!

An excuse to attack the noble family!

An honest reason to make money and gain food!

The sun shone slantly into the hall, and the dust floating in the air could be seen. Liu Ke looked around and said in a deep voice:

"You are all veterans of the late emperor. Was it true that the late emperor was not deceived by you?"

The ministers shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, it is clear that we are all dedicated to serving the Han Dynasty!"

Yang Zhong came out. He was from a noble family and was a member of the family.

One of the reasons why we advocated moving southward at that time was because the Yang family of Wu County had power and connections in the south.

Otherwise, even Xiao Yuanchang is his disciple and former official?

A veteran of the Five Dynasties, he not only lived a long time, but also had a very complicated network background.

""Governing the People" is indeed a piece of good advice."

He first answered in the affirmative, and then changed the subject:

"It's just that from what I have seen, the person who submitted the memorial must have been among the people for a long time and does not understand the difficulties of the court."

"The Han Dynasty moved to the south. If you want to govern this half of the country, you must naturally rely on the southern families who are well aware of local political affairs. If the ministers really deceived the saints and left the corpses without food, how could they have been there for the past twenty years?"

What Yang Zhong said is also true.

Without the help of the aristocratic families in the south, the Han Dynasty would not have been able to survive for twenty years.

You must know that when Donghu moved southward three times and four times, before the imperial court moved southward, the imperial power was already in a situation where the imperial power could not be extended to counties.

The voice of the central government was already very weak, otherwise the reinforcements would not have arrived when Dong Hu went south for the second time, so that Lian Hansheng had to fight alone with an army of 30,000 people in order to retreat from the enemy.

Yang Zhong continued to speak in an orderly manner:

"It's just that the content in "Governing the People" is too radical. The laws of the ancestors are immutable. If it is done rashly, the consequences will be disastrous. I think it is exaggerated, too worrying, and just some words that disrupt the government and are not worthy of trust."

Yang Zhong is equivalent to a spokesman for the aristocratic families, and naturally he will not let the interests of the children of the aristocratic families in the court be harmed.

First of all, I admit it, then take a step back and say that "Governing the People" is reasonable, but at the same time point out that it is exaggerated, but it is all empty talk. It is the people talking about national affairs in vain, and they are too concerned about the situation, rather than starting from the reality.

He also gave an example, saying that there are children from aristocratic families who are dedicated to being Han, and that is why they have survived for so long.

Finally, let me say that the ancestral law is immutable and directly deterministic.

It's okay to give advice, but if you use it as a reform, it would be a big mistake.

"The laws of our ancestors cannot be changed. If they change, they are no longer the laws of our ancestors?!"

Liu Ke slammed the fruit plate on the table, took off the golden plate and walked to one of the pillars. He reached out and touched a small piece of blood that had not been completely cleaned due to negligence, and twisted it with two fingers:

"Look how the old Marquis Shunping died in battle!"

"Look at how General Lian resigned sadly!"

"Look at how the Han Dynasty lost half of his country and only one city was left!"

"In the end, there are still people rebelling in this city!"

"Rebel against me, rebel against the great man!!!!"

"You keep saying high-sounding words, are you that clean?!!"

Snapped--

Very quickly, Liu Ke smashed out three chessboards.

The three ministers who were hit were all in their 50s and 60s. Not only did they not expect the emperor to suddenly smash the chessboard, they also moved so slowly that they didn't even know how to hide.

So he fell to the ground on the spot.

It was as if the inkstone was hit on the ground, and the ink spread, making a mess all over the place.

"Black, black! Have you seen it!!!"

"Powerful ministers, mediocre ministers, rebellious ministers!"

Liu Ke almost gritted his teeth and said six words.

What he said was right, the true loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty would have died on the battlefield long ago.

Most people stand in the court just for profit.

Even if the Han Dynasty dies, they can still become famous.

After all, they were Han Dynasties with a thousand-year history and were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. When Donghu took over the Han Dynasty, he had to use them as "loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty" to govern the place and stabilize the people's hearts.

Moreover, being able to surrender even after taking a step back and offering the city is all credit.

Whether it is fame or merit, compared to directly becoming an official in Donghu, the starting point is much higher.

The ministers were still in shock. Last time they killed one Yuwenbai, but this time they killed three?

But they really didn't understand that these three people were not important.

Together they are not as powerful as Yu Wenbai's one hand.

More than ten years ago, these three old men were important ministers in the court and were quite prestigious.

But he is getting older, and the leader who was a leader more than ten years ago is living quite a leisurely life now.

What is the use of killing these three people?

Moreover, when the chessboard is opened, today, is he using the name of Emperor Xiaojing to express something?

The officials were shocked and puzzled.

Only Zhao Ning, among the crowd, clenched his fists and his chest heaved.

He suddenly thought of last night's instructions, bit his lip slightly, sipped his saliva, took a deep breath, and forcibly calmed down his emotions.

These three people were the main culprits who criticized Lao Shunpinghou in court fifteen years ago.

Liu Ke raised his head slightly and looked down upon the officials.

The Zhaowu dynasty could not overturn the past events of the Tianxian dynasty.

But the chessboard of the Zhaowu Dynasty was smashed to death by the officials of the Tianxian Dynasty.
