Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

Chapter 222

The world is hot and cold, people are cold

Sijiu was panting out of breath, held up the imperial decree, and shouted sharply: "The bones of the late emperor are not yet cold, how dare you brazen ministers of the imperial court openly resist the decree?"

The crowd was quiet for a while, and the Hubu Shangshu seemed to be determined to fight to the end, shouting: "As the saying goes, the military orders abroad will not be accepted, and extreme measures should be used in extreme times. I believe His Majesty will understand the loyalty of our veterans. Besides, we are not disrespectful, we just changed the order!"

Sijiu: "You..."

Hubu Shangshu: "According to the regulations of this dynasty, eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics. I think you have served His Majesty for many years, so I will not pursue it this time. Quickly take us to ask for the last emperor's edict and determine the new emperor!"

Sijiu was trembling with anger. He had served Nangong Rang for nearly 50 years, and no one dared to talk to him like this. He looked at the people in the field and saw that many ministers showed signs of approval. Sijiu's heart arose. A pang of sadness.

It turned out that these years I was just a fox pretending to be a tiger. How many of these people have seen their "father-in-law is long, father-in-law is short" greetings on weekdays.

Sijiu was not afraid of losing face, but felt that he had failed his master's dying trust. He pushed Chen Chuansi away, walked to the top of the steps with staggering steps, and opened his arms: "You are You are forcing the palace! You dare to turn a deaf ear to the weight of the late emperor’s last decree! You hypocrites who are full of loyalty! How dare you openly resist the decree in front of the late emperor’s coffin! Let me tell you! The place is killing the miscellaneous family... none of you will try to find it!" Sijiu's voice was trembling, mixed with a bit of non-male and non-female sharpness, very penetrating.

The members of Nangongda's party were shocked by Sijiu's actions, they looked at each other in blank dismay, in a dilemma, and the Hubu Shangshu who stood at the front was the first to bear the brunt.

Sijiu's arms hang down weakly, Chen Chuansi stepped forward to hold him again: "Father, take care of yourself."

Sijiu patted his chest and took a few breaths, raised his trembling fingers, and pointed at the ministers in the front row: "You...you are trying to force the palace and shake the country. Yanguan, where is the Yanguan Yushi! Quick, quick, Write down these people one by one to the miscellaneous family, and order the inner court secretary to make an iron plaque and stand it in your majesty's mausoleum and hang it on the city gate! Please let the late emperor see how these sinners through the ages were deceived by lard and made Such a treacherous thing is coming!"

The more Sijiu talked, the more excited she became. She took a sharp breath, and there was a "hissing" sound in her throat. She coughed violently and retched.

Chen Chuansi hurriedly cheered for Sijiu, and all the princes and grandchildren in the hall heard it.

The younger one couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart, and turned his head to look out.

But the six direct royal families, the three princes and three princesses kneeling in the front row, still knelt straight in front of Nangong Rang's coffin as if they hadn't heard them, burning paper money in silence.

Outside the main hall, Sijiu and Chen Chuansi stood at the door, facing the dark crowd.Sijiu's body is stooped, and his hair is all white.

The old skin on his face was covered with wrinkles, his complexion was withered and yellow, his lips were purple, and he looked like he was about to fall down. Coupled with the black gauze elegiac couplet outside the temple, he looked extraordinarily tragic.

It's the twilight of the hero, the loss of the scenery, or...the world's cold and cold.

Panting heavily, Sijiu stared at the Minister of the Household Department and said, "Zajia has been with His Majesty for most of his life, don't you know that eunuchs are not allowed to participate in politics? Haha! Isn't it the crime of punishing the nine clans? When Zajia was a teenager Just cut off the root of the evil, the old lonely stick, and when the entrustment of the former emperor is fulfilled, the miscellaneous family does not need you to do it, just cut yourself again! The old slave under the nine springs still has to serve His Majesty! As for you...you, you And you! This old slave is waiting for you under the underground palace, and in a few years or ten years, we will discuss it in front of His Majesty!"

It is not known whether the words of Sijiu persuaded Nangong Da Yidang.However, many courtiers in the field were shocked by Sijiu's loyal ministers.

Many people stood in the crowd and tried to persuade: "My lord, Forty-Nine Eunuch is an old man by His Majesty's side, why do you have to push so hard?"

"This world belongs to His Majesty. Since Your Majesty has left a will, we just have to obey it. It's only been a month or two. The affairs of the court are coordinated by Mr. Xing, and the six ministers are in charge. Isn't it chaotic? ?”

Hubu Shangshu: "This..."

Gong Yanghuai said at the right time: "Everyone, just listen to what I have to say."

The crowd turned their heads in unison, and fell silent when they saw that it was Gong Yanghuai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

Gong Yanghuai: "Your Excellency is also a painstaking effort, but the Ministry of Rites must stand up and say something fair about this matter. According to the etiquette law: no matter when, where, and under what circumstances, those who disobey the imperial decree are guilty of conspiracy and should be punished by the nine clans." The official knows that several adults are loyal, but please think about it, if you set this precedent, will you not have to follow other wills? We are all the humerus of the imperial court. Chaos, how will the imperial court govern the region in the future? If Lord He obeys today, can the officials and generals in those places also use this as an example? Is the world... still our Dawei's world?"

The face of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance turned pale, and a chief servant was already very difficult to deal with, not to mention that Gong Yanghuai was the Minister of Rites at the same level as him, and the ancient Zongzheng Temple was behind him, and... at last The important thing is: Gong Yanghuai is obviously a member of His Highness Fifth, why did he suddenly jump out and sing this song?Could it be that His Highness has other plans?

This time, Hubu Shangshu hesitated.

Xing Jingfu remained silent all the time, but Lu Zhongxing felt the tricks in it, and stood up and said, "Who dares to resist the order? I'm the first one not to agree!"

The Taiwei came out, and the camp of military attaches who had been holding a wait-and-see attitude responded one after another.

Nangong Dayidang and the others are unable to support themselves, and their previous efforts are about to be wasted.

At this moment, an unremarkable figure ran out along the palace wall. This person was Nangongda's personal entourage. Nangongda gave him the token of mobilizing the Imperial Forest Army early in the morning, and asked him It's not good, call someone right away.

Regardless of the situation on the field, Nangongda is bound to do things to the end.

Moreover, Gong Yanghuai's blatant "rebellion" made Nangongda even more uneasy, he thought to himself: If you don't do one thing, let's take advantage of all the people coming today, just control them all!

All the military officers who came to express their condolences had untied their sabers. Even if one stood against ten, it would be impossible to defeat the five thousand Imperial Forest Army armed with weapons!

Nangongda threw another handful of paper money into the brazier, took the crutch beside him and stood up with difficulty.

Qi Yan also got up quietly, came to Nangongda's side, and gave him a hand.

Nangongda: "Thank you."

Qi Yan: "Where is Your Highness going?"

The three sisters of the Nangong family raised their heads and looked towards this side. Nangong Jingnv's expression was a little unnatural, she didn't know how to face Qi Yan.

Nangongda: "Give me a compliment."

Qi Yan: "It's just right, I want to go together too, why don't you be like Lu."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Qi Yan.

It is an extremely private thing to pay respects in the Wei country, even if it is of the same sex, it should be avoided, not to mention that each highness has his own grain reincarnation bucket, and there are also special servants or maids to serve him.

Nangongda: "Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? Although I have inconvenience in my legs and feet, I have already gotten used to it over the years, and I don't need others to help me."

Qi Yan: "Why does Your Highness need to be so sensitive, it's just going the same way."

Nangongda's face was a little ugly: "Then brother-in-law please first."

Qi Yan let go of Nangongda's arm: "Then I won't go either."

Nangongda: "You..."

Qi Yan raised her hand, smiling pleasantly: "Your Highness, please?"

Nangong Rang's coffin was right behind Qi Yan, the white flag was hanging in the air, Qi Yan's smile was out of tune with the surrounding environment.

Nangong Jingnv looked at Nangong Sunv, and she saw Nangong Sunv frowning. The sisters all deduced a possibility through Qi Yan's abnormality, but no one was sure.

From the two's point of view: On the surface, Nangongda seems to have the chance to win, so he really has no need to rebel.And it was in front of civil and military officials and all the royal relatives, once it failed, the consequences would be irreversible.Even if it is successful, it will be infamous through the ages.

Nangong Jingnv felt that although the fifth brother had changed, he did not disregard the brotherhood at all. The people present today were all his relatives.

But is Qi Yan a person who makes a fuss out of a molehill?The answer is obviously no.

Nangongda counted the time, and the brigade of the Imperial Forest Army was coming soon.

So he looked at Nangong Jingnv, and said angrily: "Little sister, take care of your son-in-law! Where have you read the sage books for so many years? You don't even understand the principle of seeing no evil?"

Nangong Jingnv frowned slightly. Nangongda's public reprimand of Qi Yan made her feel very uncomfortable. Shangguan Fu, who was kneeling in the back row, grabbed Qi Yuxiao and whispered, "What are you doing?"

Qi Yu looked angrily at Shangguan Fu beside him: "You let go!"

Shangguan Fu grabbed Qi Yuxiao's arm and did not let go, and persuaded in a low voice: "Let's not interfere with your lord's affairs!"

Qi Yuxiao: "If you don't let go, believe it or not, I've hit you all over the head?"

Shangguan Fu: "If you hit me, hit me, anyway, I won't let go!"

……

Nangong Jingnv stood up and met Qi Yan's eyes. She read the full trust in Qi Yan's eyes. This look made Nangong Jingnv feel guilty.

She believed in Qi Yan more than she believed in her own judgment and intuition!

Nangong Jingnv pursed her lips: "Fifth Brother, Qi Yan is also kind, so you can go with him."

Nangongda laughed back angrily, and said three "good" words in succession. He originally thought that he would only get rid of these two brothers who were in the way. As long as the three sisters cooperate, they will not make things difficult for them. He poked the spine, but seeing Nangong Jingnv being so ignorant, Nangongda changed his mind.

Qi Yan is just a powerless civil servant, even if he is allowed to follow, there will be no more than one dead soul.

Nangongda: "Okay, then please brother-in-law come with me."

Qi Yan readily agreed, and helped Nan Gongda walk outside the hall, across the courtyard, to the gate of the courtyard.

The sound of "cracking" can be vaguely heard coming from a distance. This is the crisp sound of equipment colliding with armor.

It's just that the voice was extremely soft, covered by the wailing sounds in the courtyard, if you didn't distinguish it deliberately, it would be difficult to notice it.

Nangongda heard it, and Qi Yan also heard it, she pretended not to notice, and helped Nangongda go out.

Five thousand Imperial Forest Army had surrounded Ganquan Palace to the brim. Five hundred archers and five hundred infantrymen, led by Nangongda's confidants, passed through the three palace walls of Ganquan Palace and rushed towards the mourning hall. Less than five hundred steps...
