Shen Tang, Liu Xiangling, the iron-blooded traitor in the Southern Song Dynasty Chapter 944: The palace and the court stick, the two sides are deadlocked
Chapter 944: The palace and the court stick, the two sides are deadlocked
Chapter 944: The palace staff and the stalemate between the two sides
"It's just a royal staff. When have I ever been afraid of it?
Even if you beat me to death here, you can't break my heart for the country!"
"What Prime Minister Ye said is true. We are a country, how can we avoid it because of the imperial staff..."
For a moment, the imperial staff not only did not frighten these people, but instead became excited and their eyes even gleamed! What is this?
This is naked performance, merit and fame, isn't it? It's usually difficult to be scolded a few times, but now the glory that comes to his door can make him run away?
When you get here, you can’t fight even if you don’t want to! Not even a little less! Anyway, you wouldn’t dare to fight these people even if you measure them...
Imperial stick and demotion, this is the best way for civil servants in the Song Dynasty to gain seniority and glory! Even at this moment, some people are thinking about whether they should come to ask for advice?
It's just that we are not in Daqing Hall right now, so the audience and mood are a little bit different.
"I come first!"
Ye Yong strode to the waiter holding a bench and shouted, "Why don't you wait for me!"
"Crack!"
The bench fell directly to the ground, and the waiter quickly put it away in a panic, "Ye Xiang...you...please?"
"Come!"
Lifting up his robe, Ye Yong lay on it and said, "I'll count the numbers for you. If you miss it, I won't get up!"
Facing the stubborn Prime Minister, the two chamberlains holding poles were dumbfounded and involuntarily looked towards Wang Quan.
Wang Quan had no choice but to wink! Fight, it would be impossible not to fight at this moment!
Trembling forward, the two chamberlains gritted their teeth and raised their poles, then slapped Ye Yong on the butt.
"Snapped!"
The stick made a bit of noise and hit Ye Yong's butt crisply. His robe flew up due to the blow. The strong Ye Xiang gritted his teeth and remained silent!
"Pah, pah, pah, pah..."
The ministers on the side clenched their fists and shouted slogans!
"Five down!"
"Well done Ye Xiang!"
"Xiang Ye is a role model for all our ministers..."
"Snapped!"
As the final words settled, the two chamberlains hurriedly stopped. A chamberlain on the side stepped forward to help Ye Yong up, but was pushed aside unhappily by the two ministers and went to help Ye Yong himself.
"I can't die! It's just twenty imperial staffs, no need to support me!"
Ye Xiang is old and strong. After receiving twenty blows, his face is not red or out of breath. He is full of energy! Except for the white lining exposed by the tattered robe on his buttocks, which is a bit disharmonious, he looks like a loyal minister for the country and the people.
A brilliant performance!
"It's my turn!"
"Obviously my official position is high, so let me come first..."
It was as if the ministers had not eaten for three days and were fighting for meat buns. In the end, they had to take turns to fight according to their official rank!
Not long after, after finishing playing, a group of important ministers of the Song Dynasty in purple clothes and white beards stood in front of the palace gate in high spirits, with proud expressions and a hint of aftertaste and regret! If I had known that there would be such a beautiful scene, I should have put all the civil and military officials there.
Call over to watch...
"You eunuchs, after the beating is over, get out of here! Colleagues, since His Majesty doesn't see us, let's just sit here and wait until His Majesty sees us..."
Wang Quan was defeated in disgrace! The chamberlains of the Song Dynasty were not the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, and the Imperial City Secretary of the Song Dynasty was not the factory guards of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Wang Quan, the most popular person around the emperor, faced these stubborn old masters.
The only option is to run away in embarrassment.
"Not leaving?"
Hearing Wang Quan's return, Zhao Shen sneered repeatedly, "If you don't want to leave, then let them stay!"
Time passed slowly, and at noon, Wang Quan came to the gate of Nangong with a group of servants carrying basins and bowls!
"My lords, please eat some food! It will be a big deal if your bones are damaged by hunger."
Wang Quan persuaded with a low eyebrow.
The hot soup and fragrant food made many people lick their lips.
Everyone came to court in the dark, and by now they were so hungry that their hearts were pressed against their backs. It was really hard to endure.
Ye Yong swallowed his saliva and said with a sneer, "Come on, colleagues! Eat! We are the humerus of the Song Dynasty, important officials in the court, even if it is for the sake of the Song Dynasty, we must eat!"
"Ye Xiang is right!"
"Eat, wait until you're full!"
Wang Quan didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and hurriedly ordered a group of servants to serve these uncles for dinner!
After eating and wiping the juice, Ye Yong wiped the juice from the corner of his mouth and said with a sneer, "Go away!"
That look looks very much like someone who pulls up his pants and refuses to acknowledge his fault...
The fact that the ministers broke into the palace could not be concealed for a long time. At first, some officials, big and small, from the official offices on the east side outside the South Palace Gate gradually gathered and lined up behind the ministers.
Outside the Nangong Gate is the main entrance of Lin'an Imperial City! Because of the terrain, Lin'an Imperial City faces south and north.
Therefore, it became the official office on the east side outside the Nangong Gate, and the Prince's East Palace was on the west side instead!
Except for the officials in the official office, no one knows who spread the news here. The main gate of Li is heavily guarded and the door is closed! Therefore, the officials outside the palace cannot come in. However, they also start to come to Li. Sit and wait outside the main entrance! By the afternoon, the number of ministers sitting in meditation inside and outside had reached one to two hundred people.
It was getting late, and the ministers outside the palace showed no intention of leaving, while Zhao Shen inside the palace remained silent, showing no sign of concession.
"Officials, it's time to eat! Also, should you continue to deliver meals to those adults?"
Wang Quan asked.
"I have no appetite! Since they have the strength to sit, then don't pay attention to them!"
Wang Quan tried to persuade him again, but Zhao Shen said nothing!
When Hai hour was approaching, a chamberlain hurried over and whispered to Wang Quan. Wang Quan sighed helplessly and walked to Zhao Shen with his eyes closed, "Guan family, Mr. Ye fainted from hunger, and Mr. Mao had diarrhea for seven times. It’s already so empty…”
None of the people headed by them are young! Most of them can still hold on without eating anything. However, after sitting on the cold stone slab with the lining exposed for several hours, it is impossible not to have diarrhea. Strange things.
"Guan Jia, why don't you meet your lords?"
Wang Quan whispered, "If something really goes wrong, shouldn't you be worried?
Officials, you also know how stubborn these ministers are, so it’s not a problem to persist like this..."
"Snapped!"
Zhao Shen slapped his hand on the table, "Why do I have to give in every time! Who is the king and who is the minister?"
"See Your Majesty!"
At this moment, a voice sounded outside the main hall, "The Supreme Emperor has issued a decree, asking His Majesty to take state affairs as a priority and announce that all ministers will come to the palace to pay homage!"
Hearing this, Zhao Shen suddenly opened his eyes, his face flushed! His eyes were full of anger, but after a moment, they turned into bitterness and unwillingness! With just the word 'filial piety', he was tied to death, he was the emperor. , is he the emperor or not?
