Chapter 147 Chaos Hall

Yunxu was warm and red in the sky on the east side. In the blue sky, the green tiles were in the courtyard. Qiao Niang ran and put on a dress and headdress, put on half a basin of clear water, and then scooped hot water from the iron pot on the stove and mixed it. She stumbled and took it to the attic. When she came out, the newly bought rooster in the courtyard had just poked out the red crown and made the neck ring.

Oh oh oh...oh oh oh oh oh—

The chicken crowed loudly. Soon, Wang Jinqiu shouted to eat in the kitchen, and there were voices gradually in the yard. Bai Yunxiang touched the jade hairpin on her head and stepped downstairs. Dou Wei rushed out of the door, wearing only a single dress, ran to the tree, waved his arms, and hummed and shouted fiercely.

The door on the third floor of the attic opened, and a purple robe walked out, and the sunlight slowly pushed in, reflected on the robe, embroidered with phoenix wings spreading clouds, tied with gold and jade belts, and fell on the waist.

Geng Qing looked at the rising sun and walked downstairs. He went to the straw hut and took a piece of cake. He told his mother that he would not eat at home, and knocked on Dachun who was drinking porridge.

He said, "I'm leaving, eating on the road, and the civil and military officials in the court are still waiting."

Geng Dachun turned around and came out of the shed, raised his thumbs at his parents, and Bai Yunxiang, and said twice, "Look, this is so majestic." He was kicked in the stomach by his father, and the old man scolded: "Why don't you go!"

It made Widow Zhang look over with some distress.

Then, the stupid man hurriedly picked up the bowl and took a few bites, took a pancake and rushed to the side door, led the carriage outside the gate, put a low stool for Geng Qing to get on the carriage, and waved the whip while holding the pancake, and drove the frame away from Yong'anfang.

The street market was already noisy, and the people who were seeking life began to work for a day. In the bustling streets, carriages passed by. In the slightly shaking carriage, Geng Qing drooped his eyelids, and his eyes were looking at the book in his hand without blinking. The words Dachun said outside were occasionally replied.

As long as you do a serious business, Geng Qing's expression is very different from his daily life. He has been in this era for nearly two years and has experienced many things. He knows that this place is not as good as a society ruled by law. If he doesn't do it well, he will die at any time and even implicate his family.

He tries to be careful in everything, and even he will deduce one thing repeatedly from different directions to find the best result.

After all, once you go in the wrong direction, the whole family will die.

"Originally, I just wanted my parents to live a better life, but later I wanted the villagers to live a better life..." He looked away from the book and looked at the noisy street scene outside the curtain of the car. The shouting vendors, the old woman buying vegetables, and the strength of carrying goods flashed through his eyes one by one.

"......Haha, I got to this position step by step, and I was really not satisfied..."

He said something, and he also mocked the rebel generals in this city and the emperor who was controlled by him in the palace. He had different people and different identities, but he had the same dissatisfaction.

As for what to do after doing these things, Geng Qing didn't think too much about it.

"Maybe, it's time to ask the emperor who was hiding from Shu to come back. He is orthodox, and Tang is not upset... Who dares to do something openly?"

Walking past the neighbors, the carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the imperial city. The imperial imperial guards guarding the gate naturally knew whose frame it was, and bowed to the young people who came down from the chariot.

A phoenix-winged robe passed by them. Geng Qing walked into the palace road with his hands and took a few imperial guards, stretching straight into the road, and entering Chengtian Gate.

As soon as they entered the Tai Chi Palace, nearby guards looked at each other tacitly, and they followed with their knives, slapped behind Geng Qing to form a long dragon spreading to the Tai Chi Palace.

Far away, the eunuch guarding the gate of the hall quickly stepped forward and loudly.

"Shangshu Zuo Pushe, the subordinates of the Secretary of the Central Committee, and Geng Qing entered the palace—"

At this time, when the questioning in the hall was completed, the civil and military officials heard the high noise of the eunuchs outside the hall. Immediately, there were neat footsteps and the sound of the scabbard swinging. Subconsciously, they turned around and saw Geng Qing, who had phoenix wings spreading clouds and purple shirts, shook his thirteen slabs around his waist and walked up the stone steps with a smile.

Behind him were hundreds of palace guards following in long rows, and immediately, they lined up in front of the hall with the handle of the knife.

"Geng Xiang is..."

Many ministers frowned. Could it be that they would still force the palace to be forced to do this? They immediately held their breath and instinctively looked at the dragon throne on the imperial stairs. The emperor above had no expression of displeasure.

‘Is it because of His Majesty’s instruction?’

When many random guessing thoughts breed strange emotions in the crowd, Wang Bo, who is strong-willed, snorted coldly and walked out.

"Bold Geng Qing, what's your behavior when you lead the palace guards?!"

Meng Juehai glanced at him and kept staring at the young man outside the hall. He was somewhat confused, but the emperor above did not express anything, so he didn't want to say much.

When the loud questioning words spread in the hall, Geng Qingqing walked into the Tai Chi Hall with her robe in her arms. She couldn't see Wang Bo out of the line, and said, "Your Majesty hasn't spoken yet. General Wang wants to overtake his affairs?"

"you!"

Wang Bo was rebeled and pointed at the other party so angry that he couldn't say what happened next. The next moment, Geng Qing let go of his robe, quickly walked over him, and stood up to the front and started: "My minister Geng Qing, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Above, the old man pressed the dragon's head, looked at the young man who was worshiping him below, endured the anger in his heart, tried his best to make a peaceful expression on his face, and raised his hand.

"Geng Xiang stood up and spoke."

After saying that, Huang Chao looked at Wang Bo from the military general, waved his hand, and explained his doubts: "Gong Wang, please retreat. I have already agreed to this palace guard."

After saying this, the old man's toes were dug tightly. If there was no eunuch guarding him with great martial arts skills, if he hadn't been old and weak, how could he be so cowardly!

After breathing a sigh of relief, Huang Chao saw Wang Bo return, and he smiled on his face and continued.

"The reason why Geng Xiang came here late today is that he asked him to bring the palace guards to the palace to the palace to serve as a foil for the next thing."

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Shang Rang Yanyu had no emotions and looked at the ground with his eyes slightly drooping.

"Let Geng Xiang tell everyone."

Huang Chao actually didn't know anything. He waved his sleeves to the figure that bent down, and Geng Qing said, "Thank you for your trust."

He raised his face, turned around and bowed to everyone in the hall with a smile.

"Fortunately thanks to His Majesty's trust, Geng said something bluntly." Geng Qing took a breath, quickly sorted out his words in his mind, and his tone paused, and continued: "A few days ago, I searched the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War case book. I am a new major in the Great Qi. I have a clear understanding of the number of soldiers, but after reading the food book, it was shocking. I thought to myself who is so brave to dare to greed for such a huge amount of food and grass."

Geng Qing took out a booklet from his sleeve and put it on the palm of his hand, looking at the civil and military officials on both sides.

"These are all elders of Geng. They dare not be extremely lazy and wrongly accused a good man. Fortunately, Geng looked through two days and read them all. The food and fodder were indeed exhausted. After asking, he realized that they were the "soldiers" and family members brought by the rebel army back then. In order to make themselves at ease, he specially asked His Majesty for an order. He went to the military camp outside the south suburbs of the city yesterday. What do you think I saw?"

Most of the surrendered ministers had doubts, but the generals probably understood in their hearts, and they didn't say anything, so they stopped quietly.

"...What I saw was a bunch of ragged refugees."

Geng Qing closed his eyes, his voice a little hoarse and sobbing. He didn't know whether the wind was blowing into his eyes or whether his emotions were exaggerating. He squeezed his eyes and his eyes turned a little red.

"Barefoot, bare-legged children run around the ground, and a tent is in a mess. Not to mention how to keep the cold in winter, even raindrops cannot be covered! The elderly, weak, women and children are all covered with feces and urine, and they are everywhere. There are no soldiers and horses, even refugees."

He looked at the general and threw the account book in his hand to the ground with a "bang".

"Even if my Great Qi is newly established, it is a dignified court. How can we drive such soldiers and horses to fight?! It is embarrassing to say it—"

"Geng Qing, what are you bullshit? Don't just talk nonsense and disturb our morale!"

Wang Bianliu Lie cursed at the other side, clenched his fists and rushed over. Meng Juehai, who was two different, grabbed his arm and pulled it over to the ground. He dragged it on the ground half a circle and threw it under the dragon pillar, almost knocking it through.

"Wang Bo, I have been tolerating you for a long time. If you dare to speak rudely again, I will kill you!" Meng Juehai opened his beard angrily, pointed at the figure that had climbed up from the ground and cursed. The latter did not dare to show weakness. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush over. When he heard the imperial stairs above, the old man slapped the chair and shouted loudly: "Enough!"

Outside the hall, more than a hundred guards rushed in, stood all over the door of the hall, and held the hilt of the knife and pulled out half of the blade, and the atmosphere suddenly became solidified.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Bo looked at the old man on the dragon throne incredibly. Huang Chao was unmoved, but just stared at Geng Qing with his eyes narrowed, "Listen to Geng Xiang continue, and then jerk, get out of here!"

In fact, the old man is protecting him.
