On this day.
The Prime Minister who had changed the Great Zhou Empire and was known as the God of Slaughter, Tang Jiu, was impeached.
The new emperor of the Great Zhou, Song Yu, announced to the world that he would set up a stall.
Tang Jiu also understood that since ancient times, those who had made great contributions did not have a good ending.
Dismissal is a small matter, but if it is serious, the head cannot be preserved.
When the news spread, the people of the Six Nations all clapped their hands and exclaimed that the heavens had eyes.
In fact, Tang Jiu was not dismissed from his post. Instead, he was demoted to the position of Grand Tutor. However, it seemed like he was promoted, but in reality, he was imprisoned in the High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China.
This was the measure that ancient kings used to measure, to rise in the open and fall in the dark.
The officials in the court also understood. They had originally opposed Tang Jiu, and now they were even presenting the cases he had committed during his term of office to the new emperor.
In the end, Tang Jiu was still dismissed from his post, but the new emperor remembered his friendship and contributions and kept his original salary.
This day was already two months after he was dismissed from office.
Tang Jiu enjoyed the afternoon in the mansion as he watched the fish jump and cheer in the pond.
On this day, Tang Jiu thought about many things.
He looked up at the sky." In the end, I still couldn't fulfill the late master's last wish!”
Because of his dismissal, a few of his trusted aides who he had personally promoted were also dismissed. However, it was not a big deal. Most of his students were still not implicated.
In the past few decades, most of the officials in the court had been promoted by Tang Jiu. Even if some of them were not, they were still achievements obtained after the implementation of the imperial examination system and the hard work of the common people for ten years.
Song Yu wasn't stupid to be able to achieve the position of the new emperor. If she had to uproot Tang Jiu's trusted aides, there would probably be very few ministers left in the court.
At this moment, a sharp voice came from outside the door. It was Song Yu's personal eunuch, Huang Sheng." Lord Tang, the Emperor has spoken!”
Tang Jiu nodded." Yes!"
Huang Sheng narrowed his eyes and said solemnly," Lord Tang, is this an imperial edict?”
Tang Jiu's breath turned cold. He could hear the hidden meaning in Huang Sheng's words." The late emperor gave me the privilege of not bowing to the emperor or kneeling to the imperial edict. Don't you know that?”
"Haha…" Huang Sheng chuckled,"Lord Tang, I'm so sorry for being presumptuous. It's said that every emperor has his own courtiers. It's such a simple truth. You should understand it, right?"”
Seeing Huang Sheng's rudeness, Tang Jiu didn't intend to be nice to him. At most, he wouldn't stay in the Great Zhou Empire. If he wanted to leave, no one would be able to.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don't affect my mood today.”
Huang Sheng smiled coldly." Alright, then we'll do as you say."”
"Pass on the emperor's orders. From today onwards, Tang Jiu will move to Chaotian Temple to guard the late emperor's spirit.”
"Chaotian Temple?" Tang Jiu dusted his hands." Hmm…It's a pretty good place.”
Huang Sheng pointed at the two people at the door and said," These two are actually experts that the Emperor specially sent over. They were ordered to protect Your Excellency's safety."”
"Greetings, Lord Tang." The two warriors cupped their hands and bowed to Tang Jiu.
……
In the royal study.
Song Yu listened to Huang Sheng's account of the incident and hurriedly asked," How was it? He didn't overreact, did he?”
Huang Sheng shook his head." No!"
After getting Huang Sheng's answer, Song Yu heaved a long sigh of relief.
"That's good, that's good!"
In fact, Song Yu's feelings for Tang Jiu were very complicated. When Song Changling was still around, he had asked her and her third brother to learn the way of governing the country from him.
Song Yu respected and feared Tang Jiu, her father's teacher.
This was probably the reason why they respected his talent and knowledge.
Because after Tang Jiu implemented the imperial examination system, scholars all over the world regarded him as a saint and a ray of light for poor scholars.
Eighty percent of the ministers in the court had passed the imperial examination, so they naturally respected Tang Jiu.
Some of the generals and generals were also personally promoted by Tang Jiu.
It could be said that in the Great Zhou Empire, if Tang Jiu wanted to be the Emperor, he could easily take away the Song family's world without bloodshed.
"Your Majesty!"
Huang Sheng's eyes were cold." You should have made a decision earlier!”
"This person's achievements surpass his master's. We can't let him live.”
Song Yu sighed softly and pointed at the memorials to impeach Tang Jiu on the imperial table. The table was almost filled with them, and she felt a headache coming on.
Huang Sheng tried to dissuade him again." Tang Jiu has many followers in the court, and he has deep roots and great power. Even if His Majesty imprisons him in the Imperial City, there's no guarantee that he'll have second thoughts!”
Song Yu frowned." Do you think I don't want to?”
"But look…how many ministers are pleading for him? Why are you crying for him?"
"If I really kill him, I'm afraid my spine will be broken by the scholars under my Great Heavenly Cycle.”
"Plop!"
Sensing Song Yu's anger, Huang Sheng knelt on the ground and hesitated for a moment. In the end, he frowned fiercely." Your Majesty, forgive this servant's disrespect. Even if your spine is pierced, it's better than losing your ancestors and fighting for the country with your flesh and blood!”
"Alright, alright, let me think about it.”Song Yu waved her hand.
"You can leave first!"
"Your Majesty, allow this servant to say one more thing. Since ancient times, kindness does not control soldiers, and righteousness does not control wealth. You are magnanimous and soft-hearted, and you are unwilling to kill him.”
"Have you ever thought about the millions of innocent people in the Deng Kingdom? When had he ever regretted it? I'm afraid that the number of people in his hands over the past few decades is more than the number of living people Your Majesty has seen!”
"Bang!"
Song Yu flipped the imperial table in front of her and said hysterically," Then what do you want me to do? Ah…can I kill him?"
"His disciples and confidants are everywhere in the court. More than half of the generals in the army were personally promoted by him.”
"How do you want me to kill him? What reason do you have to kill him?"
Song Yu was really angry. However, after thinking for a moment, she suddenly moved closer to Huang Sheng's ear. Her eyes turned cold as she instructed him.
After that, Huang Sheng left…
On the other side.
Tang Jiu rubbed his nose, turned over, and went back to sleep.
The two martial artists stared at him without daring to blink. They crossed their arms and guarded his bed.
Tang Jiu glanced at them and said," Brothers, aren't you tired?”
The two of them shook their heads at the same time and said in unison," I'm not sleepy.”
Tang Jiu frowned." But I can't sleep with all of you staring at me like that!”
"The Emperor has decreed that it is our duty to protect you.”
Tang Jiu was helpless. He had stopped saying this a few hundred times.
At this moment.
A figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard. The two martial artists were shocked and quickly prepared for battle.
"Please go out for a moment. I want to talk to my old friend.”
The voice was noble and cold.
Tang Jiu turned around and saw Liu Xing in a red dress. He smiled.
"You…you are Princess Liu Xing of the Tang Empire?”
One of the warriors recognized Liu Xing because he had seen her when she came to the Great Zhou Empire to study the system.
"Since you know, why don't you go down quickly?”
Liu Xing said expressionlessly, exuding an aura that kept people a thousand miles away.
Only Tang Jiu wouldn't be like this.
A warrior frowned and coldly shouted," This is not your Great Tang!”
"Sigh…"
Since he didn't want to be soft, then he would use force!
Liu Xing raised her hand and released a cold aura, freezing the two warriors into ice sculptures.
Tang Jiu smiled." You're still as straightforward as ever.”
"There's wine beside you, pour it yourself!"
Liu Xing sat beside Tang Jiu and looked at him through her nostrils." I'm not here to drink with you.”
Tang Jiu was also staring at her. The two of them looked at each other for a long time in tacit understanding.
Tang Jiu suddenly realized that Liu Xing was more feminine than before.
In the end, Liu Xing was defeated. She said angrily," What? Is there a flower on my face? Why are you staring at me?"
Tang Jiu was slightly taken aback. Didn't she know that there was a flower on her face?" Since you know there's a flower on her face, why are you asking me?”
