Chapter 51: The Little Eunuch Who Takes Advantage of the Tiger
Liu Hu looked at the expressions of his ministers and memorized them one by one.
Those who insisted on standing their own positions were all smiling and looking happy, while the ministers who opposed them all lowered their heads, and no one knew what they were thinking.
Liu Hu had no time to deal with these ministers. He tilted his head and asked, "Why are you all here so late at night? Are you trying to force the emperor to abdicate?"
After hearing what Liu Hu said, none of these people dared to respond. Force the emperor to abdicate? Liu Hu's posture seemed like he was forcing the emperor to abdicate, but none of them dared to say anything. They could only lower their heads and glance in the direction of the prime minister unconsciously.
At this time, the only one we can count on is Prime Minister Chen Yang.
The old man glanced at the troops behind Liu Hu, stepped forward and said, "Congratulations, Grand Master, for your good health. This is truly a blessing for our Daqian."
Liu Hu nodded without saying anything. He had no hostility towards the prime minister and no intention of winning him over.
The saying "a friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water" is exactly what it means for their relationship.
Chen Yang also knew Liu Hu's attitude towards him, and continued, "I wonder why the Grand Tutor came to the palace so late at night?"
"The emperor has corrupt officials around him, who are disrupting the government and causing chaos in our country. I have come here specifically to purge him." After Liu Hu finished speaking, he glanced at the ministers one by one. Except for Prime Minister Chen Yang, no one dared to look Liu Hu in the eye.
Sure enough, those who came to discuss outside the palace at this time were not good people.
"The Grand Tutor is wise and brave. It is a blessing for our Daqian." When the ministers heard Liu Hu's words, they all knelt down and flattered Liu Hu. Only the Prime Minister stood there, looking out of place.
The prime minister felt even more disappointed when he saw the ministers kneeling on the ground. He believed whatever Liu Hu said without asking who the treacherous ministers were or finding out what had happened. He just kept flattering them.
It seems that Daqian is really going to be finished, and the Xiao family doesn't have much chance.
Although the prime minister is upright, he is not a fool and knows what to do and what to say.
"Since the Grand Tutor has important matters to attend to, I will not disturb you anymore and will take my leave first." Prime Minister Chen Yang bowed his hands and sighed in his heart.
Hearing the prime minister calling him an old minister, Liu Hu smiled faintly. It seemed that the prime minister had also given up the idea of saving the Xiao family and submitted to him.
Liu Hu was so happy that he spoke with some warmth: "The Prime Minister is in a serious condition. If I hadn't been seriously injured, I would have personally sent the Prime Minister back home."
Smart people always speak to the point.
Liu Hu and the prime minister smiled at each other, and then they had nothing more to talk about. The prime minister ignored the other ministers and walked home alone, leaving the ministers looking at each other, all at a loss.
Without Liu Hu, they dared not act rashly and could only stay here.
Liu Hu had a somewhat good attitude towards the prime minister, but he was not so good towards these fence-sitters in front of him.
"My fellow ministers, it's already late at night. If you sit on the ground like this, will the wind blow and your butts get cold? You'd better go home early." Liu Hu looked at the ministers and teased.
"We will take our leave now." Hearing Liu Hu say this, these people hurriedly responded and hurriedly got up to go home.
Liu Hu looked at the ministers and said, "Tonight is destined to be uneasy. Ministers, please ."
After hearing what Liu Hu said, these ministers dared not stay here any longer. They all wished their parents had not given them two more legs so that they could leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
If Liu Hu had not died, then Daqian would still belong to Liu Hu.
I'm afraid there will be another bloody storm in the palace tonight.
However, these are not what they can consider. Who knows if Liu Hu heard what they just said? Liu Hu always does the matter of settling scores later.
After all the ministers had left, Liu Hu said to Luo Fanchen beside him: "The list I gave you before, those who are in the palace tonight, kill them all while there is chaos."
There are some people who provoke me again and again. If they are not eliminated, there will be endless troubles.
Luo Fanchen nodded, then gave the Green-robed Guard a list. After whispering a few instructions, the Green-robed Guard slipped away and disappeared into the night.
"Break the door." Liu Hu said lightly to the front. Looking at the towering imperial palace, Liu Hu felt a little melancholy.
Asi liked this way of opening the door the most. He didn't give anyone else any chance. He jumped off the carriage, picked up a sledgehammer, and hit the door with one blow.
With a "bang", the towering gate was shaking due to the hammer, which was enough to show Asi's strength.
At this time, a dissatisfied voice came from inside the door: "Who is it? You won't let me sleep in the middle of the night? Do you still want to live?"
There was another "bang" and A Si's big hammer came forward without saying a word.
The man inside finally couldn't sit still anymore and angrily opened the door. When he saw Ah Si's burly figure, he was immediately stunned and muttered to himself, "Brother Si."
Ah Si was always rough and said to the boy, "I haven't smashed enough yet, why did you open the door?"
Smashing the gate of the imperial palace is something that one can only encounter a few times in a lifetime. Asi was naturally dissatisfied when such a good opportunity was interrupted by his subordinates.
"Brother Si, how about I close the door and you smash it again?" The gatekeeper saw that Ah Si was dissatisfied and hurriedly admitted his mistake.
Ah Si looked at his brothers and whispered, "The boss is behind us, don't embarrass me, stand up straight and wait for the boss."
After all, they are his brothers under his command, and Asi doesn't want to embarrass them.
Hearing that Liu Hu was behind them, these people no longer wanted to sleep. They quickly straightened their clothes, stood up straight, and looked serious.
Unexpectedly, the rough Ah Si could bring out such good subordinates. Liu Hu nodded with satisfaction and let Ah Si drive the carriage inside.
"Who is so bold as to drive a carriage into the palace? Do you still want to..." A young eunuch was a little angry when he saw the carriage going in so brazenly.
"How did you watch the door? Such a big carriage can be put in?" The young eunuch's temper has become much worse since he started working in the palace. He doesn't take people seriously at all. When he saw the carriage going in, he became even angrier.
The gatekeeper waited until Liu Hu passed by, then slapped the young eunuch to the ground, cursing, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll chop you into pieces, you eunuch."
The young eunuch had never thought that the watchdog in front of him would dare to look down on him. He covered his face and cursed: "You watchdogs actually look down on me. Just wait and see if I will destroy you. I am the godson of Eunuch Li."
Seeing that the guards at the gate were silent, the young eunuch thought they were scared, and said arrogantly: "Are you scared? I tell you, it's useless. I will destroy you."
"The boss has gone far away." The man just now looked at Liu Hu's carriage slowly going away and asked the people around him.
