In the twenty-fourth year of Chongning in Daxia, it was February 15th, and there were still three days before the start of spring.
This was the last court meeting before the Spring Festival. Three days later, the Spring Festival started and everything was settled.
Therefore, if we want to see the outcome in court, today is the last chance.
It is said that anything good in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Xia Jingyun's strength since entering the capital has made far-sighted people from various factions pay attention to him. Now being able to severely damage him is something that no party refuses.
Especially when I feel that His Majesty has no intention of protecting me, I feel even more at ease!
These people were all speculating in their minds about the possible direction of today, but on the surface they were still proceeding one by one according to the rules of the court meeting.
Just as the court meeting was in the middle of the process, the Jinwu Guards on duty outside the door came to announce, "Report! Your Majesty, Duke Fengyang wants to see you."
! ! !
Discussions broke out in the main hall, and the leaders of each faction immediately used their eyes to skillfully arrange the tasks to deal with.
Emperor Chongning looked neither surprised, happy nor angry, and said calmly: "Xuan."
Gao Yi said in a high-pitched voice, "Xuan~Fengyang Gongjing~See you!"
The old head of the Qin family walked slowly into the palace with old steps, amidst everyone's anxious or curious eyes.
Emperor Chongning ordered, "Give me a seat."
Gao Yi shouted again, "Give me a seat!"
"Old minister, thank you for your grace."
When Xiaohuangmen brought a stool and asked the old master Qin to sit down, Emperor Chongning said with a smile but not a smile: "Why did Duke Fengyang come to the palace? Are you dissatisfied with the progress of the case?"
The old master of the Qin family stood up again, knelt down slowly, took out a memorial from his arms, and raised it high above his head, "Old minister, I sincerely ask your majesty to pardon Xia Jingyun from Jieyuan of Sishui Prefecture for the sake of the country. If Xia Jingyun of Sishui Prefecture is released from prison to take the scientific examination, If it is later found that he is guilty, he will be deprived of all honors; if he is later found to be innocent, there is no need to lose the pillar of the court because of the Qin family's personal affair!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole palace was shocked.
Everyone looked at the old man in front of them in disbelief. Previously, Concubine De was visited by the minister, the Three Masters of Tushan came to visit, and Concubine De was the one who wrote it herself. You have endured all the trouble, and now Now, we are about to win. You are raising your flag and surrendering. What are you doing?
Wei Yuanzhi, Wang Ruoshui and a few other officials from the Concubine lineage were stunned and instantly became ecstatic. They retracted their hands into their sleeves to hide their trembling hands.
"Sit down and hand over the fold."
Emperor Chongning showed no emotion or anger, and just said something in a calm tone.
Gao Yi walked down quickly, took the folding book, walked up to the high platform and presented it to Emperor Chongning.
At this time, the person who caused the trouble seemed to have arrived as promised.
The British Duke is worthy of being from a family of military generals. He does not ask for help when encountering problems. He directly rolls up his sleeves and goes into battle in person. He says in a loud voice: "Feng Yang Duke, I went to the palace to ask for orders that day. I cried with blood. You are the one who asked your Majesty to severely punish Xia Jingyun. Now the case is under trial." At the critical stage, you are also the one who petitioned for the release of Xia Jingyun. What do you mean by this? Do you regard the court as if it were nothing, the law as child's play, and your Majesty as a marionette?"
To him, it didn't matter what plots he had surrounding the Qin family, but what was important was that Xia Jingyun must "die"!
In just over half a year, he has had enough of being suppressed and plotted by Xia Jingyun. He will never let Xia Jingyun escape unscathed from such a certain "death" situation!
However, the old master Qin, who had been prepared for a long time, did not panic at all and said: "The British Lord's words are wrong. When I came to the palace to see you, what I asked for was to severely punish the murderer, not to severely punish this Young Master Xia. Today, I am interceding for him. I don’t want personal affairs to ruin justice. If he is not the real culprit behind the scenes, then wasting the spring palace is not just sitting back and watching the country lose such a good talent?"
"Mr. Fengyang's words are wrong!"
An official from the prince's line walked out of the queue and raised his hand towards him, "We, Daxia, are dominating the Central Plains, and we are spread all over the world. There are so many talented people from all over the world. How can he easily rise to the level of a country's talent when he is the leader of Sishui Prefecture?" There is no need to worry about this. Mr. Fengyang does not need to worry about this. If he encounters this matter, it is his own fate. Compared with such an ordinary scholar, the assassination of Mr. Qin in your mansion is a more important matter. "
"Have you ever thought about it, sir, if you were the scholar who encountered this matter, would you still be able to say such things so calmly?"
The old head of the Qin family sighed and bowed his hand to Emperor Chongning on the stage, "The old minister's family is mostly engaged in business, and he knows how to gather sand to form a tower, and to gather armies to form a furry. Just like this palace full of talents, they are all from the country and the dynasty. When we gather together, it doesn’t hurt if one person is missing here, and it doesn’t matter if one person is missing there. When no one is available to wake up, it will be too late.”
A purple-robed official under Prime Minister Qin also walked out of the queue, "Mr. Fengyang, this department has its own rules for investigating cases. Although there seems to be no progress at the moment, it may have reached a critical moment and its will will collapse. If the suspect is arrested at this time, If you release him, let him recover, and then eliminate the key evidence, it will be difficult to find the real culprit of this noble master!"
The old master of the Qin family was stunned and said: "I just asked him to attend a spring festival! I believe that the officials of the third division will not make such mistakes."
At that time, the Prime Minister Qin Weizhong came out, looked at him, and said warmly: "Uncle Shi, who threatened and intimidated you? You had to do this against your will, so that your words and deeds were in contrast, and you were miserable. Now in front of me Your Majesty, in front of all the princes in the court, you might as well speak out boldly. If nothing else, your Majesty is holy, fair and strict, so you will not be wronged in vain, and since I am from the same clan as you, it is impossible to sit idly by and watch."
When Wei Yuanzhi heard this, he thought it was a good idea and was unwilling to give up this great opportunity. He was about to embolden the old master Qin, but as soon as his feet moved, Emperor Chongning's voice came from the high platform.
"enough!"
Emperor Chongning snorted and threw the book in his hand on the table, with a look of displeasure on his face, "It's been a good court meeting, but the noise has annoyed me to death!"
Everyone quickly bowed and saluted.
"Let's put that matter aside for a moment and talk about something interesting."
Emperor Chongning smiled and said, "Last night someone from the bamboo forest sent me a piece of calligraphy. I looked at it and thought it was very good. It was sent by the old military god. Such a masterpiece should be appreciated by all the ministers!" "
"Gao Yi, show it to everyone."
As he spoke, Emperor Chongning picked up a scroll on the table and handed it over with both hands. Gao Yi quickly held it with both hands, carefully walked down the high platform, stood on the second step, and slowly opened the scroll as if holding it in his hand. The movements of the demon mirror were displayed to everyone.
When they heard that it was sent by the old military god, everyone couldn't help but become curious. Even the British Duke and Prime Minister Qin who were standing in the front row couldn't help but move their feet and get closer. Gao Yi was so scared that he couldn't help but Shrank back.
"Hi! This word is such a good word!"
"Elegant, sharp, and strong! The structure is rigorous and comfortable! It is different from any other sect in the world. It has its own style. It is everyone's style!"
"What words are you looking at? You should read the article first!"
"When I was drunk, I read the sword with the light on, and I dreamed of blowing the trumpet company, hiss!"
When everyone saw it, they all understood that this was definitely a calligraphy calligraphy gift given to the old military god!
But why haven’t you heard of this poem?
Could it be that it was created jointly by a master calligrapher and a literary genius?
That is an absolute treasure!
Everyone then looked down.
"Eight hundred miles under the command, fifty strings are heard outside the fortress, and the soldiers are deployed on the battlefield! Although there are some things that I don't understand, the momentum is really amazing. I, a scholar, can feel the ferocious momentum. The author has definitely been to the frontier fortress. Experience, and even experienced blood and fire fighting in person!"
[The horse is flying so fast, the bow is like a thunderbolt! 】
"Finish the affairs of the king and the world, and win fame both before and after his death! Isn't this the old military god!"
Everyone's hearts surged with enthusiasm, and then they all fell silent under the obviously different font of the last sentence.
"Pity happens in vain!"
Everyone was silent.
Yes, the man who once turned the tide and helped the building to collapse, the old man who could give all the monarchs and subjects of Great Xia an endless sense of security as long as he stood there quietly, has now turned gray. .
After fighting in the north and south, and sweeping across the world, he was no longer able to protect this huge empire.
This pitiful sentence is not only lamented by the poet, but also by the old military god himself.
It's not like they, who are directly or indirectly protected by the old military god, are sighing.
After a while, someone finally said softly: "These last five characters are bold and majestic. Although I am not good at calligraphy, my style and temperament are undoubtedly revealed. However, the writing is superficial and my wrist is not strong. It must have been written by the old military god himself." Written by you?"
"In this picture, someone else described the grand life of the old military god. It ended with him settling the world's affairs and winning fame both before and after his death. But in the end, the old military god added these last five words, and his tone changed. It brings out the endless vicissitudes and desolation, the beauties grow old and the heroes grow old, wonderful, wonderful!"
"From a technical point of view, the five characters continued by the old military god are not enough, but combined with the background, it is even more wonderful than the calligraphy expert who wrote them all by himself!"
"Famous post from generation to generation, famous post from generation to generation!"
"Fuck!"
In the midst of the sighs, in the court room filled with Huang and Zi Gongqing, someone suddenly made a vulgar remark.
In the eyes of everyone, the man quickly pointed to the lower left corner of the post and explained: "Look at the signature!"
Everyone looked at it subconsciously.
Vulgar words were heard one after another.
I saw a line of words written in the lower left corner:
[Broken Array. A song dedicated to the God of War, written by Xia Jingyun, and written in the bamboo forest at the end of the 23rd year of Chongning. 】
Wei Yuanzhi and Wang Ruoshui's hearts were suddenly filled with overwhelming surprises!
As expected of a young master, he could actually make a comeback like this!
Prime Minister Qin and the British Duke's hearts trembled at the same time, and they finally understood the reason for what happened today.
The reason why Duke Fengyang changed his mind must be because of Zhulin's request, oh no, to be precise, it was an order.
In their eyes, there is no need to say what decision His Majesty, who thinks he will not protect Xia Jingyun, will make next?
Patriarch Qin snorted in his heart, "Didn't you ask me just now?" Still doubting me? Do you want to stop me in the name of upholding justice for me?
Come on you guys!
Who jumps out again!
The old military god just sent a letter to me and a message to His Majesty, so that you don’t dare to jump around!
Then again, this damn kid, if you had such a big trump card, you should have told me earlier. I would have gone straight up and promised you my good granddaughter. Why should we waste so much trouble!
When everyone had different thoughts, Emperor Chongning coughed slightly, attracting everyone's attention, then leaned forward slightly and said with a smile:
"My dear friends, do you think this calligraphy is good?"
