Cultivation: I can reincarnate in the heavens

72. It’s up to people to plan things (Qiu Zhui)

Being greedy for a tael of silver is also greed.

If the crimes of "honest officials" in the court are exposed to the world, the people will definitely only say that they killed them well.

Therefore, Emperor Chongming's killing of any official in the court was justified and not unjust...

After Commander Liu had finished thinking about the ups and downs in the temple, Ouyang Shuda, who was sitting in the pavilion, had already finished writing the national policy and passed it on to his confidants.

"See you again..."

"It should be that the mountains are far away and we will never see each other again."

"Teacher is old, and there are a lot of thieves and thieves blocking the road. Why don't you, disciple, do your best and send you a few servants to carry water?"

After casually scanning the writing on the memorial, Commander Liu put it in his sleeve, then looked at Ouyang Zaizhi with concern and said this.

"No need."

Ouyang Zaizhi stood up and walked to the pavilion, "I am already a national thief. These little thieves should be afraid of me, not me afraid of them."

Despite all the good things to say, Commander Liu did not force his support.

He got on his horse and led a group of Tiqi through the rain curtain, heading north towards Shenjing.

The weather is cold in spring.

The clothes are thin.

Ouyang Zaizhi has reached the age of seventy and cannot stand the rain or the cold. The old servant took off his coat from the carriage and quietly put it on his shoulders.

"Master, get in the carriage, the ox... I'll drive it."

The old servant whispered.

The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door.

Once upon a time, he was a guest of all the major forces in Shenjing.

But when Ouyang Shuda resigned, his power also evaporated. However, he was not upset and was still willing to serve his master wholeheartedly.

"good."

Ouyang Zaizhi nodded, but he did not refuse.

He walked to the carriage, stepped on the old servant's back, and staggered onto the carriage...

As soon as he got on the carriage shaft, he burst into tears.

People were coming and going in Zhaoma Post, and when pedestrians heard the cry, they turned their heads frequently.

However, pedestrians did not dare to pay special attention to him. Ouyang Shuda, who had been taken care of by the night watchman Sitiqi, must be either rich or noble, so they only dared to glance at him slightly.

"Why are daddy crying?"

Ouyang Pan'an asked his old father.

"Dad is crying..."

"As soon as I cry, I have been an official for forty years and have become a thief of the country."

"Second cry... The pillar of the imperial court has collapsed from now on. Your Majesty will no longer have a rain pavilion to protect you. The country will be destroyed. I'm afraid... it won't be long..."

"Three cries...Thieves are everywhere, but I am old and no longer have the ability to level the sword."

Ouyang Zaizhi wiped the tears from his eyes and deliberately cried loudly.

"Daddy, please come in quickly..."

"The rain outside is wet and cold, but I don't dare to freeze your bones, daddy."

Hearing this, Ouyang Pan'an seemed to have some realization.

She quickly invited Ouyang Zaizhi into the car, and then ordered the old servant to abandon the cattle and rush to Caohe as quickly as possible without any delay.

Inside the forbidden area, Xuanhua Palace.

Emperor Chongming was sitting in the main seat. He was ladling egg custard with a spoon and listening to Commander Liu's report while eating. When there was only the cold soup left in the bowl, he wiped the corners of his mouth with a brocade handkerchief and said with a slight smile: "This old thief was still talking nonsense before he died. I am the master of the saints. The thieves are just the result of their officials forcing the people to rebel. If all the officials in the world are as honest as Han Taipu and others, why would the current situation be like this..."

"but……"

His tone turned cold, "Could it be that Ouyang Zaizhi was worried that I would kill him to silence him? Otherwise, why would he leave so fast? Who does this handsome man, this old thief with gray beard, think of me?"

"Am I a mean and unkind person?"

Emperor Chongming slapped his eucalyptus angrily, and Long Yan was displeased.

Commander Liu, whose Highness was waiting with his head down, heard these words and his mouth twitched.

Since Emperor Chongming came to power.

Many more ministers were executed than in the previous dynasty, and the Jiaofang Division had so many records of female prisoners that it could not be filled. As a last resort, some less important convict women's rolls could only be sold to other brothels and brothels to make room for the new convict women's rolls.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

"This is the green vegetable grown by my concubine and fried as vegetarian food."

Concubine Han Guifei Pingting walked over with a lacquered wooden tray in her hands. She was dressed in simple clothes, which was very different from the luxurious concubines in the harem. She looked like the aunt of a country official.

It's just that she has a fair face, and even though she's dressed frugally, she can't hide her beauty.

"My dear concubine, I've suffered so much for you."

Seeing Concubine Han's dress, Emperor Chongming couldn't bear it and sighed softly.

"My concubine...it's not hard..."

Concubine Han hesitated for a moment and replied.

In fact, what she said is true, she is really not bitter.

With the support of her natal family, no matter how poor she is, she will not be reduced to eating chaffy vegetables. According to her understanding, the glass shop in Han Mansion earns one thousand taels of silver in one day. As long as Han Mansion gave her a little more food, it would be enough for her to eat and drink well.

But who made Emperor Chongming like this tune?

She could only flatter her superiors and gain Emperor Chongming's favor.

"For official duties, I went to court late and the egg custard was cold..."

"But these vegetarian dishes cooked by Aifei are good and suit my taste."

After Emperor Chongming picked up a few dishes with a jade stick, he tasted a few bites and praised them.

Concubine Han forced herself to smile.

She was born into a wealthy family, so how could she have such a bright future?

These dishes seem to be vegetarian dishes, but in fact they are vegetarian banquets personally prepared by the famous chef from Yanyu Temple in Jiangnan invited by the Han government. A dish that is more than twice as expensive as a simple meat dish.

"Then what should Mr. Ouyang do?"

Commander Liu waited for Emperor Chongming to finish eating and asked in a low voice.

"Well……"

"He said that my country was in danger, so I asked him to see how I govern the country. Now that I am missing a mediocre and corrupt official like him, and the government is full of justice, it won't take long for the river to be clear and the sea to be clear."

Emperor Chongming chuckled and replied.

Fengxi Country has sixteen rivers and mountains, and the Kansai Road is just one of them. Every year in the barren and disaster-prone Kansai Road, instead of collecting taxes, they have to pay money...

The bandit army occupying the barren land will surely be unable to support itself.

The imperial court now has not lost its important tax territory in the south of the Yangtze River, and has another hundred thousand cavalry in the north of the Great Wall.

These iron cavalry outside the pass have experienced hundreds of battles, and they are not comparable to the Forbidden Army.

The advantage lies with the imperial court. What can the rebel army do to win?

"Mr. Ouyang..."

"Disciple..., this is the only thing I can do for you."

After hearing this, Commander Liu breathed a sigh of relief, said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty," and then slowly exited the hall.

Kansai Road.

The residence of King Mourning Heaven.

As Xu Xing presented himself to the imperial court and waited for the imperial edict, the contradiction between the local faction and the foreign faction in Siming Mountain became more and more profound. As the core members of the two factions, the kings of mourning and punishment also drifted away from each other.

Under the peaceful atmosphere, there is a chilling atmosphere.

"King of Heaven..."

"If you hesitate any longer, King Xingtian will take action."

In the meeting hall, the Siming Mountain locals gathered together. As a veteran of the mourning king, Ji Buyan was the first to attack Yao Dang, the king of mourning, and forced Yao Dang to take action.
