Chapter 57 The Big Picture

Author: Stephen the Thunderman

"You look angry."

This was a typical case of Pharmacist Guo looking for something to say... Mainly because he followed the emperor back to the palace, and the emperor didn't let anyone take him back.

He can't say: 'Your Majesty, send me back to prison.'

He is not mean.

All the way to the Chui Gong Hall, Liu Bang couldn't wait to take off his armor, and quickly asked the palace maid to get some drinks.

"I'm not angry, I'm so angry!"

He could have killed Zhu Song just now, just like what he said to Zhu Song, but he didn't.

He felt that this person was somewhat like a 'scholar'.

This is a soldier who dies for his bosom friend, a soldier who is unparalleled in his country, a soldier with lofty ideals, a martyr, a warrior, a warrior...

scholar.

This person's feeling was very familiar to him. He was the first person to give him this feeling since he came into contact with the Song Dynasty personally.

Others, even in Yang Yizhong, he did not feel this kind of thing.

another one……

He is Liu Bang, and he likes his subordinates to be tougher.

But he was the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and these tough people were against him.

"Didn't you say that Qin Hui can't do anything? Didn't you say that there are many people who are not with him?"

While taking the handkerchief to wipe his sweat, Liu Bang asked Pharmacist Guo:

"Why does it seem like everyone is on his side today?"

The emperor had just asked this question. Pharmacist Guo did not answer it at that time, but now he asked it again.

Pharmacist Guo paused and saw the emperor drinking tea by himself, but ignored him...

He swallowed his throat and said, "It was you who killed Wu Biaochen."

"Um?"

"Indeed, if you look at it from outside the court, it is not wrong to divide the people of the Song Dynasty into those who advocate war and those who advocate harmony, but if you look at it from inside, it is not the case... They can also be divided into civilized people and military people, and southerners and people.

Northerners, those who are officials and those who are not, of course... there are also emperors and ministers."

After roughly understanding what he meant, Liu Bang was a little disappointed:

"Not all of us are Han Chinese."

After hearing the emperor's words, Pharmacist Guo didn't know what he was thinking of. He was silent for a while and then said again:

"But now, there are only emperors and ministers."

"Forget it..."

Liu Bang waved his hand... Seeing the emperor's appearance, Medical Master Guo sighed in his heart.

But soon, he began to wonder if he had heard wrongly.

"Otherwise, just kill them all. If you want to do something big, how can you do it without blood..."

Although this idea had occurred to Yaoshi Guo countless times, when he heard the emperor say it himself, he was a little confused.

If it is not destroyed, it cannot be established. The Jingkang period was originally a great opportunity. At that time, many powerful and powerful families were gone.

Although it is more than ten years too late now, if the emperor really wants to take action, there is still a chance.

Pharmacist Guo suddenly became excited.

Just when the two of them were thinking about their own thoughts, the first one to come back was not the three generals of the Western Army, but...

The commander of the Infantry Division, Zhao Mi, was originally supposed to capture the Sibeilou fugitive in Mingzhou.

This man is not as tall as Yang Yizhong, and he is not as bookish as Liu Qi, but this old boy has very cold eyes. He is in his forties, and everyone seems to be related to him in killing his father.

hatred.

"The official family..."

Zhao Mi was the one with whom Liu Bang had the least contact among the three Yamen commanders.

At this time, he really had murderous intentions, but he was just thinking about whether to use Song soldiers to do this, or to continue to let Ji Wu and others be used as knives.

When he heard Zhao Mi calling him, he just said perfunctorily:

"I'm back. Thank you for your hard work. Have you eaten yet?"

"It's not hard...not yet."

When the emperor asked a question, Zhao Mi had no reason not to answer.

But now, he has more important things to say.

"The official family..."

Liu Bang finally laid his eyes on him, but saw that the man's brows were frowning fiercely, so he asked:

"What do you have to say?"

Zhao Mi hesitated for a moment, but did not say it immediately.

"It's okay, just say it. Anyone who dares to tell anyone will have their tongue cut off."

Of course, this was said to the obedient Xiang Guangshi and Guo Yaoshi. Zhao Mi had no scruples and presented a roll of something.

The chamberlain took it and Liu Bang weighed it with his hands and estimated that it weighed several kilograms. He didn't know what it was written on.

After untying the string, he couldn't hold it steady for a moment, and the other end of the thing rolled straight down the steps.

Then, he rolled all the way to the threshold of Chui Gong Hall before being blocked.

But even so, this thing, which is longer than the front hall of Chui Gong Hall, still fails to show its full picture.

It was eerily quiet in this palace.

The faces of Medical Master Guo and Xiang Guangshi turned into the same expressions as Zhao Mi.

Liu Bang glanced at it and saw that it was densely written with words. It looked neither like an article nor a poem.

"What the academy..."

“What’s the best place to fish in Mingzhou?”

"Ashoka Temple...Why is there such a thing as a monk? What kind of king is this Asoka?"

None of them cared about the emperor's sudden illiteracy, not even Guo Yaoshi or Xiang Guangshi. Both of them were over a hundred years old together, but this was the first time they saw this thing.

Liu Bang probably recognized it, there were names all over it.

Names of various places.

What theater and restaurant, what Taoist temple, what academy food store...

He looked at Zhao Mi: "What does this mean?"

Commander Zhao took a deep breath, then bowed and said:

"Official family, this is the joint submission of the four counties of Wentai and Mingyue under the rule of Mingzhou, Yin County, Fenghua, Cixi, Xiangshan, and Dinghai counties, each clan, each religious stream, each trade city, each gentry, each workshop..."

"No," Liu Bang suddenly became a little impatient, "Why are you presenting it to me? I'd rather you tell me!"

"They hope that His Majesty... will put the overall interests first."

As if it was just a moment of impatience, the emperor seemed to be a different person at this moment, his body was very cold.

“What’s the big picture?”

"Jin... The Jin people are willing to negotiate peace this time, and the officials and families should not forget the alliance between the two countries three years ago..."

Saying this is extremely difficult for Zhao Mi.

In the peace talks three years ago, the Jin Dynasty abolished the puppet Qi Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty became a minister. This is correct.

Moreover, in order to reach the peace talks at that time, basically all the main battle elements between North Korea and China were released.

But within a year, before the peace edict reached Yazhou, Wanyan Wushu killed Wanyan Chang and led his troops southward.

In this way, the previous battle of Tuogao by the Huaixi Army and the great victory of Yancheng by the Yuejia Army were achieved.

Now mention this to the emperor...

"What, is the overall situation?"

Liu Bang repeated these five words again, and anyone could see that the emperor was very emotional now.

Anyway, it was not what he said. Zhao Mi gritted his teeth:

"They said... Your Majesty should be mindful that the mausoleum is far away, the Zi Palace has not been returned, the clan has been displaced, and the soldiers and civilians are in dire straits... The hatred of the Han and barbarians should stop from now on..."

Liu Bang slumped on the chair, and the people below lowered their heads, not daring to look at his face.

"What, it's the overall situation."

This third time I asked, I could hear the weariness in the emperor's voice.

Zhao Dushi, who had also been with the emperor since the days of King Kang, felt a little unbearable at this moment.

The emperor's recent actions... even the Prime Minister of Qin was trapped, which clearly shows that he is going to continue the Northern Expedition.

But the emperor's enemies were not limited to the Jin Kingdom outside.

"They say that the Song and Jin Dynasties have a good relationship, and the peace negotiations cannot be done without the Qin Prime Minister. Only when the monarch and his ministers get along with each other can the politics be clear and clear..."

"It turns out..." Liu Bang seemed to be talking to himself, "This is the overall situation."
