Chapter 111 Does the general want to kill relatives righteously?
Luoyang, Royal Palace Hall
Liu Hong leaned lazily on the dragon chair. He didn't want to go to the morning court, but Huangfu Song returned to Beijing today.
"Oh...ah"
Stretching out, I immediately felt much more comfortable, and the ministers below me also felt more comfortable.
"My dear friends, do you have anything to say?"
He Jin walked out slowly, shaking his fat body.
"Your Majesty, General Huangfu Song is waiting outside the palace."
"Announce it."
Liu Hong was in a good mood. As long as he finished meeting Huangfu Song, he could go to rest!
Not long after, Huangfu Song entered the main hall, walked to the middle, knelt down and bowed.
"Your Majesty, Huangfu Song, I would like to pay homage to Your Majesty!"
"Um?"
Liu Hong was a little dissatisfied. He looked at Huangfu Song who was kneeling on the ground and refused to let him get up.
Did you miss a few words? Long live, long live, long live?
When Huangfu Song saw that there was no movement, he kowtowed loudly again.
"Your Majesty, Huangfu Song, I would like to pay homage to Your Majesty!"
"Okay, get up."
Liu Hong spoke a little fast and was quite dissatisfied.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Huangfusong slowly stood up and puffed out his chest.
"Your Majesty, you are urgently summoning me to return to the capital. What's the important matter?"
Liu Hong glanced at Zhang Rang and motioned for him to tell Huangfu Song. Zhang Rang understood.
"Lord Huangfu, Liangzhou Beigong Boyu collaborated with Bian Zhang, Han Sui rebelled, and Liangzhou Governor Zuo Chang was unable to conquer, so he could only defend Jicheng. Your Majesty specially summoned the general to come back to attack the rebels."
"Lord Huangfu won't refuse, right?"
Huangfu Song glanced at Zhang Rang with disdain, and he really hated these eunuchs in his heart.
"As long as His Majesty orders me, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"good!"
Huangfu Song was rigid, ignorant of human feelings, and was not liked by Liu Hong, but he was capable of fighting and listened to propaganda, so Liu Hong was very easy to use him.
"Huangfu Ai Qing is worthy of being a great man and a loyal man! I now appoint you as the General of Zuoqi and Cavalry, commanding the troops of our headquarters and the troops of the three auxiliary counties, to go on a crusade!"
Huangfu Song had no expression on his face and was not happy about his promotion. He knelt down to thank him.
"Your Majesty Huang Fusong thanks you!"
"My dear, please get up!"
Just when Liu Hong was about to say that he would retire without incident, Huangfu Song spoke up.
"Your Majesty, my soldiers have been on the battlefield for a long time. I beg your Majesty to allow me to rest in Luoyang for a few days before heading to Liangzhou to defeat the enemy!"
"Okay, that's it."
Liu Hong agreed directly without thinking, and then looked at the ministers.
"My dear friends, if nothing happens, please retreat..."
"His Majesty!"
Huangfusong interrupted Liu Hong, making Liu Hong slightly angry.
"What's the matter!"
"Your Majesty, when I was in Yecheng, I discovered that the residence of Zhao Zhong, the permanent servant of the Imperial Guard, far exceeds the prescribed standards. Please order the governor of Jizhou to investigate and deal with it! And confiscate his property!"
Huangfu Song directly impeached Zhong Changshi, and it was Zhao Zhong who Liu Hong trusted very much!
"What? This happened!"
Liu Hong frowned and squinted his eyes at Zhao Zhong.
Zhao Zhong was not mentally prepared at all. He did not expect Huangfu Song to impeach him in the main hall. He immediately knelt down in front of Liu Hong and started crying.
"Your Majesty, I am wronged!"
"Your Majesty, if I am an incompetent person, what is the use of my extravagant wealth? Your Majesty, please be aware of it!"
Zhao Zhong had runny nose and tears, kowtowing and crying, and looked at Zhang Rang from time to time.
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were both close ministers of the emperor, so naturally they had no quarrel with each other, so he immediately excused him.
"Your Majesty, this matter needs to be investigated in detail and cannot be concluded based on one person's words."
Liu Hong didn't want to be serious about this matter. He also pointed at Zhang and asked Zhao Zhong and others to help him collect money. How could he bother to check his house!
"Okay, let me leave this matter to my father to investigate. Don't engage in malpractice for personal gain!"
"I obey the order!"
Zhang Rang leaned over to accept the order and gave Zhao Zhong a sinister smile.
"His Majesty!"
How could Huangfusong approve of this kind of treatment? What is the difference between letting Zhang Rang investigate and not investigating?
"I think this matter is inappropriate and should be let go..."
"Well, Huangfu Aiqing, you should concentrate on the conquest. Your heart should be on the rebels! Don't let the incident of Changshe happen again. The general will not be able to save you this time!"
Liu Hong's words were quite insulting, and he mocked Huangfu Song openly and secretly.
Huangfusong felt extremely humiliated when he heard this. His face turned red and he didn't answer. He just shook his head slightly, sighed, and stepped aside.
Huangfu Song only knew that the impeachment of Zhao Zhong was unsuccessful, but he did not notice that he was hated by Shi Chang Shiji.
Zhang Rang looked at him with a look of resentment, thinking that he had asked him for money before, but Huangfu Song not only refused to give it, but also insulted him!
This time he actually dared to impeach their ten permanent servants. He really didn’t want to live anymore!
Zhao Zhong's eyes were even more fierce. He had never offended Huangfu Song, but he didn't expect Huangfu Song to take the initiative to find trouble with him!
Liu Zhang on the side couldn't help but laugh in his heart when he saw this scene.
This Huangfu Song is still so inflexible and is resented by Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, how can you have a good life?
Seeing that Huangfu Song also retreated, Liu Hong stretched again, thinking that everything was finally fine.
"Okay, let's retreat..."
"Your Majesty! I have something to report!"
Before Liu Hong finished speaking, He Jin interrupted him.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Liu Hong was already a little angry, this He Jin was really a spoiler!
"Your Majesty, this matter is of great concern. Please forgive me!"
"Speak!"
Liu Hong slowly sat down on the dragon's chair again. Ever since he had Liu Zhang, he didn't like anything about He Jin.
Liu Zhang was watching the excitement and secretly laughed at He Jin's lack of eyesight. Unexpectedly, He Jin looked at him and sneered.
Could it be about me?
Liu Zhang's heart tightened slightly. He was confident that He Jin would not catch him for anything.
He Jin bowed to Liu Hong and spoke with anger.
"Your Majesty, there are people who rely on power to oppress the people wantonly, rob other people's wives and daughters, and massacre innocent people!"
The important ministers in the palace were slightly startled, looking at He Jin like a fool, and couldn't help but smile secretly in their hearts.
Isn’t this just talking about yourself? How arrogant have you He family become?
When Zhang Rang heard what He Jin said, he immediately misunderstood, thinking that He Jin was also attacking their ten regular servants, and immediately decided to strike first!
"General, aren't you just talking about yourself? You, the He family, are doing evil in Nanyang. Do you really think His Majesty doesn't know about it?"
"Does the general want to exterminate relatives for justice? Set an example for other ministers?"
Zhang Rang's weird and angry look drove He Jinqi crazy. He really couldn't figure it out. He hadn't made trouble for them yet, but they kept causing trouble for him.
Hey, I really regret not listening to Han Sui and killing the eunuchs!
When Liu Hong heard Zhang Rang's words, he really thought that He Jin was going to kill his relatives out of righteousness, and immediately expressed his appreciation.
"The general is truly worthy of being an example to all the ministers! I am so relieved!"
"this..."
He Jin is really a mute and eats Coptis chinensis, so what does he have to do with himself? How can he just say it directly?
Now it's better, everyone thinks that they are exterminating relatives in a righteous way!
"Your Majesty, I will strictly discipline my clan members, but the people I'm talking about today are not from the He family!"
"Oh? Who is that?"
Liu Hong had just developed a slight affection for He Jin, but now he completely shattered it.
Let me just say, how can a pig-killer like him have such consciousness!
He Jin also felt the change in Liu Hong's tone, but he didn't care, he must make that person look good today!
He Jin stretched out his right hand and pointed directly to the side. "Your Majesty, that's him!"
