Chapter 42
Until now, everyone has not figured out the emperor's mind.

The minister of the Ministry of War died, and the prime minister was imprisoned.

But His Majesty the Emperor, do you really want to kill them all?

Most of these people work in the third division, and the third division's business is the accounting business.

So it didn't take much time, and both Yang Yizhong and Liu Qi got the results.

Liu Bang was in the Hall of Xuande, and at some point he summoned the woman from the Chong family and Xiao Daoji.

He was playing an elephant show with the girl from the Chong family, while Daoji was watching the battle from the sidelines.

The peaceful scene of these years made both Liu and Yang feel a little unreal.

"The officials have already said it."

The two each hold a confession in their hands, bowing down and wanting to present it to the emperor.

Liu Bang rubbed his chin, staring at the trend on the chessboard, the girl from the Zhong family kept urging:

"Official, you have to think for so long about a single move. I'm afraid you will have to wait until tomorrow after this game."

This thing is so different from his own at that time, Liu Bang waved his hand, and all the pieces on the chessboard fell to the ground.

Without waiting for the girl from the family to speak, he scolded:
"Who made such a rule? There is no reason at all!"

"Can your cart go faster than Lao Tzu's horse? Without a horse, can the cart move?"

"Don't play anymore, don't play anymore, let's treat this as peace."

Zhong's eyes widened: You only have five coins left, can it be considered a draw?

I have seen cheeky people, but I have never seen someone as cheeky as the emperor.

She looked to the side, and her whole body was slightly ups and downs with anger.

In this way, Liu Bang looked at the two people who had just arrived:
"You don't need to give it to me, I get a headache just looking at it... just say how much they have been greedy for, and who gets the most of it."

Yang Yizhong paused for a moment: "The Zhang family's army spends 27 yuan a month, and 16 yuan is sent directly to the sergeants."

"The other 11 yuan... According to Zhang Taiwei, he took [-] yuan."

"The three divisions and the people from the top and bottom of the military department added up, and they took a total of [-]."

Liu Bang waited for a while, and seeing that he had no intention of continuing, he urged:

"Is there another [-]? I really don't know how to count, right?"

Yang Dushi looked at Liu Kai, who sighed softly:

"Gone."

"Gone?"

"Officials," Liu Kai held up the stack of papers again:
"Everyone has asked, and their numbers are all right, but no one knows the whereabouts of the [-] min."

Liu Bang laughed and said, "Is it that no one knows, or no one wants to tell?"

"The money was sent from the Third Division, checked by the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, and passed through the Lianghuai General Consulate in the middle, before finally reaching Zhang Jun's hands, isn't that right?"

Yang Yizhong added: "If there is a war, it will be directly collected and distributed from the surrounding counties by the General Consulate."

"Just these few places of Te Niang, can you still count them?"

"Everyone has handled it, and everyone has shaved a layer of oil. Who is that? Since the money has passed through his hands, he hasn't got any meat on him?"

"Our Prime Minister Qin is really popular."

The emperor made it clear that he was unhappy, and the two dared not interrupt.

Instead, listening to the number in their mouths, the chick from the Zhong family was amazed.

After the battle of Jingkang, the price of goods in the Song Dynasty has changed.

According to her father, she could still buy a boar with a lot of money during Taizong's time.

But in this year of life, you can only buy a high-quality brush or a simple coffin with money.

But even so, 11 people disappeared as soon as they opened their mouths...

It is said that our Great Song Dynasty is rich. From today's perspective, this statement is really true.

"Don't say that I don't give a chance, each spit out the greedy ink, I will save his life."

"If the money is not enough..."

Liu Bang looked at Daoji: "You heard it too, what do you think should be done?"

The little monk clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha."

"That's right! It's the fucking Amitabha Buddha!"

Yang Yizhong hesitated and said, "Officials, are you taking him into custody temporarily, or are you looking for someone to watch him like Prime Minister Qin?"

"Why are you in custody? All the people from the third department are here, who will do the work after taking them in?"

Liu Bang gave him a blank look: "Just tell them what Lao Tzu said. You don't need to send someone to watch. Let them go about their business as usual."

He thought about this matter very clearly. No one confessed to Qin Hui, which only shows that most of them still trust this Prime Minister Qin.

They believed that Qin Hui would be fine, as long as Qin Hui was fine, they would be fine too.

Therefore, he would rather confess himself than sell Qin Hui.

"The other one," Liu Bang looked at the little girl from the Chong family, "let go of all the people who came with her that day."

"Also, the people from the Imperial City Division..."

Having said that, he suddenly stopped talking, but stood up directly, and walked out.

Liu and Yang understood, and followed immediately.

The three monarchs and ministers walked out of the hall, and Liu Bang continued:
"The people in the Imperial City Division, all of them will be replaced... within today, all of them will be replaced."

Although hesitant, the two still received the order, and Yang Yizhong said:

"Officials, Imperial City Division... most of them belong to you."

He knew what the emperor was worried about, and it was only at this juncture that the emperor showed his usual side:
fear death.

Although Qin Hui is very powerful, firstly he does not command soldiers, and secondly, most of his influence is in the center of the imperial court, mostly civil servants.

According to the law of the ancestors, this imperial city division is not supervised by any supervisory agency. Take his palace division as an example, although he is in charge of all guards, he also cannot control this imperial city division.

Because this is the real emperor's pro-army, and he only obeys the emperor's orders.

During the Zhenghe period, the imperial city governed nearly ten thousand people. Although it is not the same as before, there are still five thousand people under it, and all of them are brave.

Liu Bang pondered: "This place is a good place, but now, I only regard you as one of my own."

After saying this, he remembered that there was still one person there, and comforted Liu Qi: "Your boy is also okay, you are half of your own."

"5000 people, all of them will be replaced by Dianqiansi's brothers. Anyway, I have entrusted my life to you, Yang Yizhong."

Yang Yizhong bowed and cupped his fists: "I will not change until death!"

"Bring Guo Yaoshi here... the one named Wan Qixi, I'll also call him later... and that one named Lu, the housekeeper recommended by Xin Ciying, ask if he's here or not. Call here."

"Oh, by the way, the body of Minister of the Ministry of War, find someone familiar with it and cut it up."

Hearing what the emperor said, Yang Yizhong and Liu Kai were taken aback.

Could the emperor... go a little too far?
Killing civil servants is already a violation of the rules.

Killing a Shangshu is considered brutal.

Now, the emperor ordered the man's body to be cut up...

Dushi Yang could already imagine what everyone would call His Majesty the Emperor at dawn tomorrow.

"Count the number of people who submitted their confessions today, cut them evenly, and divide them into everyone."

"As for the head, send it to Prime Minister Qin."
