The dark night in the pool yard reminded me of a past event, so I felt a little restless that night.Su Fa sat on him and moved for a while, seeing his eyes fixed on the top of the bed curtain, as if he was absent-minded, he hit him on the chest, and said strangely, "If your majesty has no intention of doing something, why force me to do such a tiring job?" !” After speaking, he wanted to get up.Shu Yin hurriedly pressed his waist, squeezed it flatteringly, and said with a smile, "I'm tired after only a few moves." As soon as he said that, he stood up and pushed the person straddling him back on the bed.Su Fa exclaimed in shock.Shu Yin hurriedly covered his mouth, smiled, "It's not good to be so loud." He didn't take his hand away, and moved his body hard.Half of Su Fa's body was bumped to this side, and his mouth was covered again, so he could only breathe through his fingers.After finishing the matter hastily, without waiting for Su Fa to calm down, he took off his hands around his waist, got off the bed himself, grabbed the robe beside him and put it on his body.

When the eunuch holding the lantern at the door saw him coming out, he immediately came over with a lantern to lead the way.Shu led the way, "Go to the main hall", and the eunuch waved to the side.Five or six little eunuchs appeared from some corner, and they lit up lanterns one after another to make way ahead.A group of six lanterns were worn all the way from the stone mountain corridor to the main hall where the ministers of the king of Yue were discussing politics.

Two lanterns were hung at the two corners of the main hall, which were kept shaking by the wind.Several guards with knives were stationed in front of the main hall, and when they saw Shu Yin, they knelt down on one knee while holding their knives.Shu Yin excused the ceremony and asked someone to open the door of the palace.As soon as you enter the door, you can see ten long copper pillars on both sides, each half the height of a person, and thick and short candles are lit on the top of the copper pillars.These candles are time-calculated, and one candle is burned for exactly one night, and it is already past midnight, so there is only half of it left.

Shu led people to put lights on the case where the monarch was seated, and there was still a memorial to the ministers on the case the day before yesterday.Shu Yin waved the eunuchs away, "Go and wait outside the door." But he himself sat in front of the case and read the memorials that could not be approved in time during the day.

In the early morning of the second day, Gong Peiyin came to the front of the hall and saw eunuchs guarding the door, and saw that one of them was serving Shu Yin on a daily basis, so he asked, "Could it be that the king is already in the hall?" The eunuch Knowing that Pei Yin is a favored minister, he immediately saluted politely and opened the palace door for him.As soon as Pei Yin entered the hall, he saw Shu Yinzheng sleeping at the desk in the high hall, and the memorandum on the desk was pushed to the floor.Pei Yin secretly sighed, stepped forward to pick up the playbooks one by one, these playbooks were full of scribbled Zhu Zhu, it can be seen that it was caused by the extreme sleepiness at night.Pei Yin sorted out the memorials and put them aside, but at a glance, he saw that there was still a letter under Shu Yin's arm, and after a closer look, it was Chu Qianli's memorial to Zhan Mengguo.Pei Yin was surprised that he also woke up after this trick, and rubbed his eyes with a troubled look.Pei Yin hurriedly bowed.Shu Yin said confusedly, "Teacher, don't be polite." Then he opened his arms and stretched his waist to the sides.Seeing that His Highness was empty, he asked, "Where are the rest of the officials?" Pei Yin said, "It's not yet time for the morning court." Shu Yin nodded.The eunuch outside the door listened until Shu Yin woke up, and quickly asked the little eunuch to bring water.

Shu Yin asked the eunuch to wash his hands and face for him, then turned his head and pointed at Chu Qianli's memorandum with his mouth pouted, and said, "Does the Tai Tu know that General Chu has asked to fight against the gangster country?" Pei Yin said, "I have heard about it." Yin asked the eunuch to retreat, picked up the memorial and said, "From this memorial, it can be seen that General Chu is sure to win the battle of the Yuemen." Pei Yin said, "How can we talk about victory on paper? " Shu Yin glanced at him indifferently, and said, "Oh? He doesn't seem to believe General Chu from the words of the Taifu." Pei Yin said, "It's not that I don't believe in General Chu's ability to lead the army. What I don't believe is that the more The ability of the army to fight." Shu yelled, "So the Vietnamese army's defeat of the gangster army at the Youhuan border was all due to luck?" Pei Yin cupped his hands and said, "In the previous battle, the Vietnamese army's victory was due to luck. The time and place are favorable and the people are harmonious. Your Majesty also said that it is on the border of Youhuan. If the Vietnamese army takes the initiative to attack the Mongols, they must first enter Wei Tuo. As we all know, Wei Tuo is surrounded by mountains. The two armies were at a stalemate for a year when they fought in You Huan. Once you enter Wei Tuo, how much does Your Majesty think the Yue army has the chance of winning?" Pei Yin said again, "Besides, since Your Majesty ascended the throne, the two countries have lived in peace and harmony, and with your Majesty diligently governing the country, the country of Yue is already peaceful and the people are safe. Why start a war at this time?"

Gong Peiyin's remarks made sense, and Shu Yin was irrefutable for a while, so he had to say, "The Mang Kingdom has annexed many small countries in recent years, and Wei Tuo's territory is almost under the control of the Mang State. If this king does not Be prepared for danger in times of peace, let it grow stronger, and it will be too late when the gangster country conquers the Yue country again." Seeing that Gong Peiyin was looking at him, Shu Yin hurriedly turned his head and turned his back to him, "Let's talk... let's talk, This king was humiliated by Che Yan many times during his stay in the Mang Kingdom, how can we not avenge this old grudge." Gong Peiyin said, "What the King said was true before, why did the King suddenly say today that he wants to attack the Mang Kingdom?" Shu Yin was unable to answer the question, exhaled from his nose, and said angrily, "Whoever this king says he wants to attack, he will attack! Does the Tai Tuo have other motives in obstructing the situation?" Gong Peiyin hurriedly cupped his hands and apologized. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. What I say is for the sake of Yue Kingdom and Your Majesty." Shu Yin waved his hand, without looking at him, and said, "That's all."

Gong Peiyin thought for a while, and said, "If your majesty really wants to crusade against the gangsters, don't be in a hurry." After hearing this, Shu Yin quickly asked, "Teacher, tell me, when will this king have to wait?" Pei Yin said, " The army of the rogue country is often invincible in all countries. The reason is that, in addition to the strong physique and bravery of the rogue country, it also benefits from a complete and orderly set of military laws. The cavalry, infantry, and archers in the rogue army are divided into different categories. The deputy commander will cooperate with each other once the battlefield is fought. However, in Guanyue Kingdom and even other countries, all kinds of training in the army are not organized, and it is impossible to make the best use of everything. It's not easy, if you want to lose, you will be completely defeated." He asked Shu Yin again, "Your Majesty has seen men with long hair in the country? Short hair not only makes people look energetic, but also reduces a weakness that can be controlled by opponents on the battlefield." Shu Yin Yin listened to praise, "Really only the Taifu has this insight!"

Saying that the time has come, the ministers came into the hall one after another, seeing Shu Yin's clothes disheveled, and Gong Pei Yin standing aside, they all looked at each other knowingly.

Shu Yinyu discussed with his ministers the method of rectifying the army, and then prepared to record the opinions of the ministers, which will be promulgated after discussion with Pei Yin.At the end of the dynasty, Shu Yin said, "There is one more thing. This king can issue an order that all men in the country should show their hair to others from now on, and no longer have long hair."Shu Yin glanced over the crowd, only to see that Zhen Sibo had already stepped out, Shu Yin immediately stood up and pointed at him, saying, "Prime Minister, there is no need to say too much, the king has made a decision on this matter." But Zhen Sibo didn't listen, and went Kneeling down on the ground, he said earnestly, "Your Majesty, Yue is a country of etiquette, and foreign peoples have always come to learn from us. How can we despise our status to learn the habits of the barbarian Min Mo? The parents of skin-shou, how can they cut off their hair so easily!" Shu Yin picked up the candlestick at hand and threw it down the hall, angrily said, "I don't like to listen to the words of the prime minister. Retire." The rest of the ministers at the court saw him except Gong Peiyin They all knelt down and begged, "Your Majesty, please think twice!" Shu Yin ignored him, tore off the robe on his shoulders and threw it on the ground, and walked out of the hall quickly.The eunuch beside him hurriedly picked up his robe and followed.

Shu Yindang issued an order to cut off hair, and the ministers cited were extremely dissatisfied, and it was quickly passed on to the court that Gong Peiyin went to the palace to discuss the rectification of military law.A minister watched Pei Yin leave and snorted, "Your Majesty discusses everything with that Gong Pei Yin, and this matter of breaking up must be related to him." One person also said, "Gong Pei Yin is a native of Qi, and his heart must be determined." It is towards the Qi State. The appearance of the subjects is the face of the country, and Gong Peiyin's actions are just to humiliate the Yue State on behalf of the Qi State!" Hearing this, everyone nodded their heads.Some dissatisfied sighed, "Your Majesty respects and favors Gong Peiyin so much, but now you have been fooled by him." Immediately, someone picked up the conversation and said with a sneer, "I am afraid that Your Majesty has long been confused by the flattering words. Eyes. Didn’t your colleagues notice the situation in the early morning court today?” Several veteran officials shook their heads when they heard this, “It’s really unseemly to not cover your body.” “But who dares to say a word at this moment, At that time, not only will the black yarn be lost, but even the head of the master will be lost!" Speaking of this, the ministers couldn't help but rubbed their necks.

Everyone talked and talked, but Zhen Sibo stood aside and did not participate in the discussion.The ministers noticed and all looked at him.A young historian was stumbled by Zhen Sibo not long ago, so he deliberately asked, "Does the Prime Minister have no objection to this matter?" Zhen Sibo raised his eyelids to look at him, and said coldly, "Didn't you hear that just now? The historian also sneered, "The position of prime minister is an important duty in a country, from the imperial order to the people's livelihood, and everything needs to be taken care of. Now that the king issued this royal order that hurt the foundation of the country, Prime Minister Zhen did not persuade him, but only If you say a word to the court, the king will listen to it, but it doesn't matter if you don't listen, then it's too easy for the prime minister to do it." After speaking, he turned around and looked at the crowd, humming and laughing.Zhen Sibo was already surrounded by all the ministers at the moment, seeing this remark again, the ministers whispered to each other, some nodded and some expected their own response.Suddenly one of the white-bearded old officials bowed his head to the ground and begged, "May the prime minister be the master of the subjects!" Seeing this, all the ministers knelt down in front of Zhen Sibo, "May the prime minister be the master of the subjects!"

Zhen Sibo was forced to sweat, and there was no way out of this situation, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Ministers, don't worry, the truth is that I have given up this old life, and I want to persuade the king to take it back." After saying that, he shook his head. With sleeves, he strode out of the hall and headed towards Shuyin's palace.

There were more than a hundred officials who opposed the order to cut off hair, and now when they heard that Zhen Sibo was going to die and persuaded the palace, they all followed him in high spirits.When Zhen Sibo saw that there were hundreds of officials accompanying him, he immediately became bolder. When he reached the gate of the palace, he saw a eunuch obstructing him, so he stared and scolded, and forced his way into the palace.

Shu Yin and Gong Peiyin discussed policies in the room, and kicked out the personal eunuch as well.The eunuch was guarding the door, and suddenly saw hundreds of people rushing into the palace, so he hurried to report to Shu Yin.Shu Yin heard that the leader was Zhen Sibo, so he frowned and said fiercely, "Then Zhen Sibo doesn't know what to do! This king has already let him go, and now he dares to lead people to make trouble!" After finishing speaking, I saw a group of people blocking the door, and heard the sound of everyone kneeling in unison. All the ministers said, "See Your Majesty!" Shu Yin glared at the black lacquered wooden door, and said coldly, "I don't want to See you all, let's all go back." Zhen Sibo knelt at the front, and said at this moment, "Your Majesty, please listen to the old minister's words, the country of Yue is self..." Before he could say a word, he was so angry that he wanted to jump up, wishing to rush out Poking his forehead and cursing, he stepped to the door in two steps and shouted, "I said I don't want to listen to you! The prime minister doesn't understand or can't hear you! You'd better get out of here right now, or else I won't listen to you!" I will punish you for the crime of disobeying the king's order!" As soon as Shu quoted this sentence, there was a sudden silence outside the door.Zhen Sibo originally drafted a full stomach, planning to start with the ancestral precepts of the Yue royal family, and then combined with the actual situation to explain that breaking the hair is breaking the will, to persuade Shu Yin.In the end, Shu Yin yelled, and he was so frightened that he couldn't spit out or swallow the half word he hadn't said yet, and he pinched his neck and gasped for breath.Several ministers kneeling behind him hurriedly stepped forward to help him, patted his back and stroked his chest, it took Zhen Sibo a while to catch his breath.It's just that he didn't know it outside the door, after Shu Yin said it, he was panting and his face was red.Gong Peiyin reminded, "Your Majesty, calm down." Shu Yin closed his eyes and took two deep breaths before he calmed down.

Although Zhen Sibo is a greedy and mercenary person, after all, he is a prime minister of a country and a veteran of three dynasties, how can he swallow his humiliation by Shu Yin at this time, so he pushes away the minister who is supporting him, and rushes towards him. He climbed a few steps forward, took off his official hat, held it in his hand, and said loudly to the door, "Even if the king wants to punish the crime of the old minister, the old minister will still say it! The order of cutting hair is a policy of subjugation, I beg you!" Your Majesty withdrew it for the sake of the century-old foundation of the Yue Kingdom. If your Majesty refuses to take it back, the veteran would rather have his head cut than his hair!"

Shu Yin was furious, "Okay! This king will fulfill you!" After saying that, he took off the long sword on the wall, pulled it out, threw the scabbard behind him, and rushed out of the door with the sword in hand.Gong Peiyin couldn't help but follow him out.Shu Yin placed the sword on Zhen Sibo's neck.Zhen Sibo was not afraid of death, instead he closed his eyes and raised his chin to let him slaughter him.Seeing this, Shu Yin hated it even more, so he really wanted to make a move with his hands.The ministers just came back to their senses at this moment, and hundreds of people kowtowed to Shu Yin repeatedly, "Please calm down!" Your Majesty thinks that he has assisted the monarchs of the three dynasties, so let's bypass the prime minister this time."

Shu introduced all the ministers to kowtow to persuade him, and even Gong Peiyin offered to help, although he was angry, he couldn't help him.I saw him clenching the hilt of the sword tighter and tighter, his knuckles creaking, suddenly the sword turned, grabbed the long hair on his head with one hand, raised the sword and cut it off.The ministers were kicking their heads back like onions, but seeing Shu Yin's move at this moment, they all froze their heads and dared not knock again.Shu Yin threw a handful of hair on the ground, and said to Zhen Sibo, "As a prime minister, you should support the king's order and actively implement it. But you not only failed to set an example, but instead instigated the officials to disrupt the court rules, and even forced you to die. The king spares you today. I miss you, I don't want to be reprimanded for killing old ministers, but you, the prime minister, don't do it again." After saying that, he took the black hat from Zhen Sibo's hand.Zhen Sibo was immediately discouraged and sat down on the ground.

Shu Yin handed the black gauze cap to Gong Peiyin, and said to the ministers, "From now on, the Prime Minister of this dynasty is Gong Peiyin." The ministers looked at each other and dared not speak.Gong Peiyin did not refuse anymore, took the official hat, saluted Shu Yin, and said, "Pei Yin will do his best to serve the King from now on." Shu Yin said, "Prime Minister, please rise." Without hesitation, Yin raised his sword and cut off his long hair.

Since the decree of cutting off hair, Gong Peiyin slowly implemented many policies on behalf of Shuyin, and the Yue Kingdom was swept away.After three years like this, the country of Yue became stronger and its people richer.It's just that there are more and more officials who hate Gong Peiyin.
