Chapter 1909 I Know You Are Dissatisfied

It's not a long road, but it seems to have gone through the spring and autumn, spanned the history, and reached the altar.Looking at the neatly arranged tablets of meritorious officials, and the rising smoke permeating the surrounding area, looking at the tablets with names painted on iron and silver hooks, figures and memories appeared in Emperor Liu's mind.

After watching for a long time, Emperor Liu's old eyes were even a little dazed. The dead figures were still alive when they looked back, as if they were paying homage to him after burning incense. Before he knew it, some moisture grew in Emperor Liu's eye sockets. Those unforgettable and eventful years seem to be clear at this time, and they are so nostalgic.

Lifting the bamboo stick in his hand and passing it to the side, Yan Tuo immediately bowed and held it with both hands. This ordinary bamboo joint seemed to have become a scepter symbolizing Emperor Liu's supreme power.

Liu Yang personally took the incense prepared by the waiter, lit it, and presented it to Emperor Liu respectfully.The burning spices exuded a pungent smell, which made his eyes sour, but Emperor Liu did not blink, but with a solemn expression, bowed solemnly three times.

All the people present lowered their heads, but most of them also carefully observed Emperor Liu's performance. Although such condescension might be suspected of acting, this kind of respect still gave rise to a feeling of respect in the hearts of the nobles. Feeling moved.

After the worship, Emperor Liu turned around, his demeanor changed suddenly, and all the emotions he showed were restrained. He stretched out his hand, took back the bamboo stick, glanced around, and said, "I know most of you are suspicious, so don't guess. , it’s no big deal to call you together today, but I just want to talk to you about something!”

Looking at the nobles with different faces, Emperor Liu raised his hand to signal, and said, "Sit down!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, the pavilion was bright and bright, but how could there be a place to sit?However, under Han Tong's leadership, they reacted quickly one by one, lifted their robes and sat on the ground.For a moment, Emperor Liu's condescending position was immediately highlighted.
Sweeping around in an attitude of looking down, after a while, he said: "I know, some of you are dissatisfied with me!"

With one mouth, everyone was shocked, like a sap, hitting the heads of the nobles hard.Emperor Liu said slowly: "In the past, I introduced a lot of measures to reduce your treatment, compress your salary, and limit your power. Now, even the land and house industry must be intervened. Such a variety of rules and regulations. I will be dissatisfied in my heart!
Among you, I'm afraid that many of you can't figure it out. It was your fathers and grandparents who followed me to defeat the country. Overcoming thorns and thorns, going through life and death, and then there will be today's big man!

I am a hero and a hero, you all brought down the mountains and rivers, in this peaceful world, in this glitzy world, what can you do if you enjoy one or two? "

Emperor Liu's words didn't meander, they were straightforward, and they really hit the psychology of some people. This is a very common thing, and it has happened since ancient times.However, when Emperor Liu said these words in such an undisguised manner, everyone felt awe-inspiring. People of the older generation, such as Han Tong, Shi Shouxin, Pan Mei, Yang Ye, etc., subconsciously thought of Liu's past. The emperor concocted a noble situation, shouldn't this be another action?
Many people are subconsciously worried. Because of the tax reform, they have already suffered a lot and lost a lot. Now that the matter is not over, what is going to happen?

Of course, right now, how to deal with Emperor Liu is the most important thing. Emperor Liu in this state is really scary.

Before the others could open their mouths, the old-fashioned Sun Li was already a step ahead. He changed from sitting to kneeling, and said: "Your Majesty has shown such great kindness to me, and I am very grateful to you. How dare you have such a rebellious heart?"

Sun Li reacted quickly, and the others were not slow at all. They kowtowed and swore to show their loyalty. Some were passionate, and some cried bitterly. The scene was intense.Emperor Liu's words seemed to have a deafening effect. Wang Yansheng also came to his senses at this time, his eyes widened with anger, and he shouted: "If there is such a wolf-hearted and ungrateful person, the old minister will definitely capture him, cut him into pieces, and eat him alive. Its meat!"

Kneeling in front of them, one by one tried their best to show their loyalty and gratitude, but to Emperor Liu, it seemed like they were watching a farce, with some absurd effects.Emperor Liu believed in the performances of these people at most. They were all meat eaters. Who could be fooled by such gentleness and humility?

His face remained calm and undisturbed, Emperor Liu looked directly at Sun Li who took the lead, and said directly: "Sun Li, in the past few decades, the children, relatives, and old friends of your Sun family have been sent down by me for committing crimes. How many people are dealt with by the national law? I roughly estimated that there are more than [-] people, and there are many bloodlines among them.

Seems like your youngest son, or grandson?Now you are still serving your sentence in the Northwest. After so many years, you don't miss it, don't you worry?Apart from missing you, you have no resentment in your heart, no dissatisfaction, do you think I am too harsh on you? "

Once again, Sun Li was singled out and scolded, from the prime of life to old age, decades, although Sun Li has become accustomed to such a situation, even a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.However, facing Emperor Liu's heartbreaking question, he still couldn't help but feel palpitations, especially the unemotional eyes of Emperor Liu, which even reminded Sun Li of how murderous it was when Emperor Liu first took charge of the Longqi Army. He was decisive, at that time he seemed to have disobeyed His Majesty...

Thinking of this, Sun Li couldn't help shivering, no longer feeling relaxed, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, it is always the case that the ministers are not strict in discipline and do not manage the family well, which leads to unfilial children breaking the law and disorderly rule. Grace, does the veteran have any complaints?"

"I've made a lot of progress!" Hearing Sun Li's utterance, Emperor Liu looked at him in surprise. For such a rough man, he should have not taught him in advance.

After he lost his mind, Emperor Liu quickly smiled again and said, "It's just that, putting myself in the same place, I don't let go so easily, and I don't have such a high level of awareness!"

Emperor Liu's words are unreasonable!These honorable ministers of the Han Dynasty, these man-eating ruling class, really have no lofty ideals and consciousness, but under the oppression of Emperor Liu, they have to pretend to be decent.Why did Sun Li ever want to pretend to be a grandson again and again, and was repeatedly reprimanded in public? Doesn't Sun Pingyuan lose face?But, I really can't.

At this time, facing Emperor Liu's slightly playful eyes, Sun Li went all out, clasped his fists and kowtowed and said: "Since your majesty said so, the old minister has nothing to say. If there is a crime, the minister can only tie his hands and tie his hands. No complaints!"

When Sun Li made such a "lying flat" attitude, Emperor Liu couldn't be more harsh, and of course his purpose of summoning the nobles was not for this.Looking at the aging Sun Li, he waved his hand at him and sighed: "Forget it, get up! I still understand you. It's not surprising to say a few nonsense words and complain a few words. If there is any rebellious act, I don't believe it either!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust!" Sun Li kowtowed upon hearing the words, tearful and grateful.

However, looking at Sun Li's posture, Emperor Liu couldn't help thinking, is it really like this?

Putting aside distracting thoughts, Emperor Liu took two steps slowly, pointed to the tablet behind him, and said loudly: "However, even if there are thousands of things wrong, but today, in front of these heroes and heroes, in front of your ancestors, I reiterate, If you live up to the court, the court will definitely live up to you!"
