The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 409 The mess is my country
"Not yet, Your Majesty, all your lords seem to be determined. They are all kneeling outside the hall, and several of them have passed out." Zhang Rang walked up to the emperor, lowered his voice, and answered cautiously.

"Hmph, a group of old men dare to come and threaten me! They like to kneel, let them kneel, it's best to kneel to death!" The emperor broke the pen in his hand with a 'snap', his face full of sullenness and anger steaming.

As the saying goes, "eat people's mouths are soft, and people's hands are short", since he has accepted Cao Song's benefits, Zhang Rang naturally wants to help him speak, he glanced at the young emperor who was in a bad mood, and said aloud: "Your Majesty, old slave I think it’s not a good idea to waste it like this, and if it spreads out, it will damage His Majesty’s prestige. It’s better to invite those courtiers outside the palace to reprimand them, so that they will give up their minds.”

The Son of Heaven pondered for a while, and although his face was still gloomy, he responded: "Father is right. I am upset to see them kneeling outside the hall like this. Just like what Father said, let them come in!"

Zhang Rang bowed to his orders and went outside the hall, looking at the veterans kneeling with twitching legs, he sneered in his heart, but said kindly on his face: "All ministers, Your Majesty has an order for Xuan Er to enter the hall." .”

Hearing this, the officials finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Cao Song glanced at Zhang Rang expressing his gratitude, and the latter also gave him a slight nod.What Zhang Rang can do has already been done. As for whether things can be done, it all depends on the good luck of Cao Song and others.

Several middle-aged courtiers at the back got up first, stepped forward to support Cui Lie from left to right.This old captain is also over half a century old. After kneeling for so long, his bones should be reaching the limit.

A group of people dragged their extremely tired bodies into the main hall, saw the emperor sitting high in the center, endured the pain all over his body, bowed again and saluted, and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty will see you, Your Majesty will be forever."

Liu Hong glanced at these people and waved his hands: "Excuse me."

After the officials straightened up, Taiwei Cui Lie came out first, arched the wat board with his hands together, and said aloud: "Your Majesty, I have something to do..."

Before Cui Lie could finish speaking, the Son of Heaven interrupted him directly: "If it's about matters in the north of the city, there's no need to speak up. I'm too lazy to listen, and I don't want to listen."

The emperor's firm tone and attitude undoubtedly sealed everyone's original thoughts in their throats.

"Even if His Majesty doesn't want to hear it, I still have to say it!"

When Cui Lie came, he had already made up his mind that even if he was dismissed from office, or even sent to prison for interrogation, he would speak out everything in his heart.

"Since the founding of my country, the virtuous kings of all dynasties have ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, subdued people with courtesy and law, and never killed innocent women..."

"Taiwei, according to what you mean, I should be a fool, right?" Cui Lie made an impassioned statement there, Liu Hong was furious when he heard it, and asked those who hadn't said anything with a smile instead of anger Courtier: "And you, do you also think that Zhen is no different from Jie and Zhou, and you are the Guan Longfeng who desperately remonstrates, or the heart-wrenching Liang Bigan?"

The emperor's sarcastic tone, of course, the officials could tell that it was deliberately used to satirize them.If ordinary civilians say this, they will probably be dragged down to question their crimes, but the person who said this is the current emperor, no matter how uncomfortable they feel, they can only suppress it, and they all bowed and bowed their heads and replied: "Your Majesty, don't wait!" dare."

"Don't you dare?"

Liu Hong laughed dryly, disregarding the majesty of the emperor, and pointed his right finger at the officials, the anger in his voice seemed to explode at any time: "Why don't you dare? Kneeling in rows outside the hall, almost Just call me by name, and get out. I see you, you are so majestic! In your eyes, I still have the emperor!"

Liu Hong pointed at the hands of the officials and slammed them on the table. A loud bang resounded throughout the hall.

When the emperor got angry, he laid down millions of corpses and bled for thousands of miles.

Shocked by the emperor's aura, the officials knelt on the ground plopping as if admitting their mistakes, buried their heads on the backs of their hands lying on the ground, and shouted: "Your Majesty, please calm down, I will wait for death."

The ministers shouted sincerely, but Liu Hong had long been used to their attitude.No matter how big the fire was, it was impossible to order them all to be dragged down and chopped down.

Liu Hong didn't let them get up this time, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he slashed across everyone's body, and his tone was as cold as the bones: "You beg me to let those women go, and want to be ministers and admonishers. But you are messed up. , but it is my country!"

As long as the great Han country can be stabilized, let alone killing hundreds or thousands of pregnant women, Liu Hong would not even blink his eyes if he slaughtered women and children in Yizhou.

"His Majesty!"

Cui Lie let out a wailing cry, two streams of muddy tears overflowed from the corners of his wrinkled eyes, he tremblingly took off the hat on his head, his white hair was disheveled due to repeated kowtows, it was extremely sad to see.

"If your majesty wants to kill people to relieve your hatred, the old minister is willing to die to ask your majesty to let those women go, and do less evil, and accumulate some evil virtues for my great man!"

After finishing speaking, without the emperor's permission, Cui Lie slowly got up, with a trace of determination on his old face.

Everyone didn't know what Cui Lie wanted to do, and the emperor felt sullen because he got up without his permission.

It's too late, it's too soon.

The old man, who was trembling even when he got up, was extremely agile at this moment. He stepped forward and rushed towards the black palace column under the astonished eyes of everyone.

"Captain!"

The ministers exclaimed, and Liu Hong's eyes flashed with astonishment.

boom!
A muffled sound resounded in the hall, and by the time everyone reacted, it was already too late.

Cui Lie's body slid down to the ground like ooze, and the bright red blood stained the black palace column with a shocking scarlet.

"Taiwei! Taiwei!"

The people who reacted rushed over at the fastest speed, helped Cui Lie up with all their hands and feet, and shouted anxiously.

At the beginning, because Cui Lie bought an official, scholars all over the world despised him.

But now, Cui Lie was able to persuade the emperor with death for women and children, and all the officials shook their heads in their hearts that it was not worth it, and they felt a little ashamed for themselves.

Never thought that Cui Gong would be so staunch.

Liu Hong's eyes narrowed, and he concealed the deep indifference.Cui Lie's life and death are not very important to him. As he said before, even if San Gong dies, will it be difficult to find someone to replace him?

However, since Cui Lie has no serious faults as an emperor, Liu Hong naturally couldn't just sit idly by and asked aloud, "What's the matter?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Taiwei Cui is old and unable to catch him. He just bruised his scalp and passed out, but he didn't hurt his life." A member of the officials who had some knowledge of medical skills answered aloud.

"Then take the Taiwei down and rest. I'll talk about other things later, I'm tired."

Liu Hong waved his hands and exhaled wearily.He no longer has the energy to spend too much time with these courtiers.

At this time, a loud notification sounded outside the hall door.

"General He Jin, please see me!"
