Chapter 378 Loyal Minister

When I walked out of the palace, I saw the cabinet officials standing in two neat rows. They had not yet taken off their court robes, as if they had just finished an important meeting.

The moonlight fell on the bright court dress, reflecting tiny wisps of dark light.

Liu Yuntian held his head high and chest out, striding forward with firm and powerful steps, with no intention of stopping at all.

He walked straight ahead along the road without looking around.

At this moment, when Liu Yuntian was about to reach the corner, one of the younger officials suddenly couldn't hold back his inner impulse and opened his mouth to shout: "Liu...Mr. Liu, I..."

However, after he just shouted the word "I", he was quickly pulled back by his colleagues beside him.

The young official's voice suddenly stopped, leaving only a trace of echo in the air.

However, Liu Yuntian seemed not to have heard the faint shout at all. He continued walking forward without stopping, and in the blink of an eye, he completely disappeared around the corner.

Looking at Liu Yuntian's receding back, a complex expression instantly appeared on the young official's face, as if a bottle of five flavors had been overturned, with all kinds of tastes of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty surging into his heart.

He first sighed slightly, and then an uncontrollable anger surged from the bottom of his heart.

He turned his head abruptly, his eyes wide open, and glared at the colleague who had just pulled him, shouting, "Why are you pulling me?"

His voice was like thunder, attracting the attention of other officials around him.

Then, the young official seemed to have lost his mind. He pointed at every official present and shouted, "Which of us didn't receive the favor of Mr. Liu to have the status and achievements we have today? Have you all forgotten?!"

"you!"

"you!"

"And you!!"

As his finger landed, the officials who were pointed at lowered their heads one by one, not daring to meet his angry gaze, as if they were children who had done something wrong.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and in the silence only the young official's roar continued to echo.

"You are just ordinary people, studying hard in front of the window for decades!"

"Some people even read until their hair turns white, but will they ever be able to get their names on the list of successful candidates?!"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel sad, his face full of grief and anger.

"If it weren't for Mr. Liu's compassion, and his sympathy for the hardships and difficulties you students have gone through,"

He pointed at everyone and continued to shout in grief: "Master Liu stepped forward when the country was in danger and took on the important task of saving Daliang from the water and fire! The monks and warriors under his command were all brave and fearless, and their military exploits were outstanding."

"However, it is this wise Lord, who we will never be able to see in our lifetime, who has great love for you and has carefully supported you."

"But what happened in the end? You turned out to be ungrateful and ungrateful people!"

As he shouted at the top of his lungs, a trace of guilt appeared on the faces of the others.

But soon, they seemed to remember something, and that trace of guilt disappeared instantly, replaced by the same majestic look as before.

At this moment, a person in the crowd suddenly rushed out as if he could no longer suppress his dissatisfaction.

He swung his fist and hit the speaker hard in the face, roaring: "Are you the only loyal subject? Are the rest of us ungrateful ungrateful wolves?!"

This person was extremely excited, staring at the other person with eyes spitting fire, and then shouted: "Have you forgotten what Mr. Qian said?!"

"Suppressing dictatorship is the real way to help Mr. Liu!"

As he said this, he slowly rolled up his neat sleeves, his movements gentle yet firm.

It can be clearly seen that he cherishes the court robes he wears very much and must have taken good care of them on a daily basis.

However, at this moment, he seemed to have completely ignored all of this, and wiped the tears and snot on his face with his sleeves without hesitation.

"Daliang is no longer just a small vassal state. It has become the sky above the vast land of Qiyang!"

His voice trembled slightly, as if it contained endless emotion and worry.

"As Daliang continues to expand, people's ambitions are burning like a prairie fire! How long can the rewards given by Liu Gong satisfy their greed?"

He paused, looked around and continued, "One year? Or ten years? Or twenty years?! But time flies, and when rewards gradually become commonplace, will those who are raised fat and pampered develop the desire to rebel?"

"An army that practices dictatorial rule is already a strong army if it can only have 20% or 30% of its combat power!"

He took a deep breath, his tone becoming heavier, "Now that Daliang has abundant food and clothing, if we want the soldiers to remain loyal, relying solely on rewards is far from enough!"

"Only if we make them understand that this war is not fought for others, but for their own interests, will they truly sacrifice their lives and go all out!"

"So-called loyal subjects are those who bravely move forward for the benefit of their masters!"

"What we have to do is to protect this hard-earned land for Mr. Liu! Instead of being like you, who only knows how to flatter and curry favor with Mr. Liu all day long!"

At this time, another person came out, helped the young official up from the ground, gently brushed the dust off his body, and sighed, "He is right. Looking at Mr. Liu's disappointed eyes, who among us wouldn't feel heartbroken?"

"Are you the only one who feels heartbroken, and we are all heartless?"

"Times have changed... Liang can no longer continue to be a dictator..."

"Whether Mr. Liu misunderstands us or bears a grudge against us..."

"Is this something a loyal minister would care about?"

"A loyal minister is not afraid of a bad reputation. Lord Liu will one day see our loyalty!"

As soon as these words were spoken, endless groans were heard all around. It was obvious that these words resonated with everyone.

"What? Was there a fight?"

At this moment, Lord Qian appeared at the door with a crutch and asked.

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly dressed up and stood in a neat line to salute, "Mr. Qian, we are waiting for you..."

"Nothing to show for it..."

Qian looked at the two officials who were fighting, muttered something, and walked towards them.

"clatter."

"clatter.."

The sound of the cane tapping on the ground seemed to knock on their hearts.

The young official who was beaten lowered his head and covered his face, not wanting Mr. Qian to see the bruises on his face.

"Do you know how to save face now?"

After a pause, he sighed,

"Come in with me...Control your emotions and stop embarrassing yourself."
