Sunset on the mountain.
A geomantic treasure with its back to the wind and water.
Qu Xiang ordered it himself.
There is paper on the grave, and a huge blue stone tablet stands in front of the grave.
The six words "Tomb of General Guo Tie" were inscribed by the official and carved by Su Chaoyun himself. The person who erected the monument was Song Yu.
On both sides are - running across the north and south, invincible, with illustrious military exploits shining brightly in the annals of history; upright, persevering, and awe-inspiring righteousness remaining in the world.
The back records Guo Tie's life.
This old man, who was not well-known during his lifetime, and even became a demon by practicing magic in the second half of his life, was posthumously named "General Tiger Guard" by the officials after his death, ranking from the third rank.
This posthumous title caused quite a stir in the court, and was met with frantic opposition from Prime Minister Chu's faction.
The news had already spread before - Qian Zhenren, the leader of Prime Minister Chu's Mansion, fought to hurt both sides and finally killed Guo Tie, the demon who wanted to assassinate the official family, on Xizhao Mountain.
Now your official family wants to posthumously make him a third-grade general, and even personally inscribes "The Tomb of General Guo Tie", giving him an extremely respectful evaluation... which fundamentally denies the correctness of Prime Minister Qian Zhenren's action.
In this way, wouldn't Zhenren Qian become a murderer?
I can't bear it!
Absolutely intolerable!
Therefore, there was almost noisy in the court hall.
Although Prime Minister Chu only said one sentence from beginning to end: The truth of this matter is not clear.
But people from his group turned into mad dogs and bit people like crazy.
Trying to completely characterize Guo Tie as a demon who harms living beings.
Su Chaoyun produced a large amount of relevant information on the spot, spanning more than ten years.
The black and white words on it are all the information about Guo Tie from the Demon Supervisor Department over the years.
It clearly shows that Guo Tie, the innate boss who occupies the northern land, has indeed never done any evil deeds against the people of Zhao for so many years.
On the contrary, the information that he was like a demon god who entered the territory of Northern Qi many times and massacred a large number of military households and their families, including men, women, old and young, was very certain.
Because a lot of this information is official information from Northern Qi!
It can be said that the Demon Supervisor Department is cheating, but will Northern Qi also cooperate with Zhao Guo's cheating?
On one side, there is solid evidence, but on the other side, it is empty talk. However, even so, the people on Prime Minister Chu's side did not let up.
He insisted that Guo Tie was a murderer.
"Now that Zhao and Qi have become allies and brothers, aren't the brothers' families just human beings?"
Facing such a mad dog-like official, Su Chaoyun said quietly: "Of course not! The children of those military households will still be military households in the future. They will step into our Central Plains land at any time like their ancestors and kill your parents, brothers and children, and humiliate them." Wives and sisters, burning your house, taking your property, and occupying your land...Shouldn't such people be killed? Are you telling me that their wives and children are innocent? Bah! Their wives and children wear clothes and eat in their mouths...all belong to your family The blood that my loved ones once shed!”
Subsequently, Chen Qun, the Minister of Rites, Li Fu, the Minister of Punishments, Yang Zhen, the Minister of Household Affairs, Huo Feng, the Minister of War, and Lin Ting, the Minister of Industry, all stepped down to support the officials, finally overpowering the Chu prime minister group.
It's not that these six ministers have the courage to completely break up with Prime Minister Chu, but the Prime Minister's Mansion is really unreasonable in this matter!
And until now, no one can figure out how this happened.
One is an innate master who practices magic skills and specializes in killing Qi people on the North Road, and the other is a Taoist priest who almost never leaves Chu Xiang's side. What grudges do they have between them?
Why is it so unrelenting?
But that's not important. What's important is that the Prime Minister's Mansion involved Song Yu!
He even slandered his grandfather as a bandit...
A staff member of the Prime Minister's Mansion was almost beaten to death by Song Yu at Fengyu Gate.
At present, the public's evaluation of the Prime Minister's Office has also dropped to an all-time low.
So the current turmoil in the court regarding Guo Tie's title is far more than just the death of a "devil".
The underlying reason is obviously a game between the officials and the Prime Minister of Chu.
Obviously, Chu Xiang lost again.
With Su Chaoyun's conclusive evidence and the support of four of the six ministers, Guo Tie's posthumous title was finally confirmed.
But there was another thing that everyone had a tacit understanding not to mention.
That is how Qian Zhenren who killed Guo Tie should be dealt with.
Even Su Chaoyun didn't mention it in the court.
…
…
Song Yu sat quietly in front of the grave, rolling cigarettes slowly with a piece of fine rice paper, listening to Su Chaoyun's account of what happened in the court hall.
The old man's copper pipe pot and the packs of tobacco that had been soaked by the heavy rain that day were finally placed beside him by Song Yu and buried together with the coffin.
Qu Xiang and Yan Yunxia were standing not far away, and a large group of people from the Demon Supervisory Department were spread across the mountain.
According to Qu Xiang, even if the soul is gone, there will still be a "spirit", which is what people often call the spirit in heaven.
For Song Yu, it is best to have a spirit. Even if there is no spirit, after the "Fengyu Gate Incident", he will hold a grand funeral for the old man!
Of course, the official posthumous title and personal inscription were indeed somewhat unexpected.
However, it can also be seen from this that the officials and the Prime Minister of Chu have been at odds for a long time, and there is no possibility of reconciliation between the two parties.
"What is this in your hand? Immortal grass?" Qu Xiang was quite knowledgeable. Looking at Song Yu silently rolling the welding smoke, he couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, the old man liked to smoke this when he was alive, and I want to try it too."
Song Yu carefully rolled the cigarette, twisted the rice paper in front, and twisted it into a small point. Then he tore it with his hands, revealing neat shreds of tobacco. He also tore off a section of the back of the already tightly rolled tobacco.
Then he took out the fire stick, lit it, and took a puff.
A strong smell of smoke hit him instantly, as if the old man was smoking a pipe pot in front of him again. It was very choking, but also very warm.
As he tasted it, smoke curled up.
The old man was the only smoker he had ever seen in this world.
I'm afraid I won't see it again in the future.
He smoked silently, his eyes red from the thick smoke, and the smoke covered his face.
He silently smoked one cigarette, carefully rolled the other cigarettes, and placed them in front of the tomb.
But there was one, which he solemnly placed in his arms.
Feeling the cigarette stick to his chest, he stood up, faced the tombstone, and was silent for a while. He wanted to say something, but sighed softly.
Finally he said softly: "Don't worry, I will come to light cigarettes for you in the future."
He stood quietly for a while, then turned to look at a few people: "I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to hunt down the murderer, do you dare?"
Su Chaoyun immediately said: "Let's go together! Let's see what he will do this time!"
Everyone left, the lonely grave was silent, the tombstone stood tall, and the smoke curled up.
From a distance, it looks like an old man hunched over and looking into the distance, smoking a cigarette...
…
…
In the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Chu Qinghui's face was livid, and he was unusually embarrassed.
Previously, Liu Tong had his house confiscated and beheaded, losing tens of millions of dollars; Wen Huacai was scolded by Song Yu, and a third-grade official was lost; as well as various subsequent losses, none of them allowed Chu Qinghui to have any hope. Feeling too big.
Every loss only deepened his determination to get rid of Song Yu.
This determination reached its peak after having to give up the two chess pieces Yan Yan and Qin Tianya.
Therefore, he agreed to Qian Zhenren's request to recall a ghost to assassinate Song Yu.
But I never dreamed that Guo Tie would show up halfway... This innate demon who was supposed to be an ally would actually have such a trace of conscience!
This time it was really a heavy loss!
The reason why he agreed to characterize Guo Tie as a devil was because he wanted to save as much as possible.
Now that Guo Tie is dead, he can also convince the master demon behind Guo Tie to use means to turn bad things into good things, which can earn some reputation for the prime minister's house and prepare for great achievements in the future.
After all, you can't reach a thousand miles without taking small steps.
But these two bastard sons of his own took the decision without authorization and wanted to make Song Yu miserable as well!
By the time he found out about it, it was already too late.
Song Yu "killed everyone" under Feng Yu's sect, so that loud slap was not just slapped on his staff?
It was as if he was grabbing Chu Qinghui's hair and firing left and right.
Not only that, but the subsequent development of the situation was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
The devil Guo Tie was forcibly given the title of hero. The official's casual pursuit of the title was equivalent to finalizing the matter.
The problem is actually very serious now.
Regardless of the fact that the Shangguan family in the court did not hold on to the matter of Master Qian "killing heroes", Song Yu's youthful and energetic temperament would most likely not let go of such an opportunity.
"Who asked you to make your own decision and add Song Xingping, Song Yu's grandfather? Did I remind you repeatedly and tell you not to provoke Song Yu?"
He looked at Chu Ren and Chu Yi in front of him with cold eyes.
Chu Ren lowered his head and said nothing, but Chu Yi frowned and said unconvinced: "Dad, it's obvious that Song Yu was lucky this time. If he hadn't arrived in time, we would have confirmed this matter! "
"Good luck?" Chu Qinghui was almost angry, "You guys knew that Song Yu had to go to the Demon Supervisor Department every day, but you hung him up at Fengyu Gate, and then came to tell me, it's because Song Yu discovered it because of his luck?"
Chu Yi also lowered his head and became silent.
In fact, he did this on purpose, just to show Song Yu what would happen to those who go against my prime minister's office? !
Who would have thought that he would hear him talking about Grandpa Song Yu, and he didn't expect that Song Yu would be so courageous and not take the Prime Minister's Office seriously at all.
At this moment, someone outside suddenly came to report in a panic: "Master, it's not good, then Song Yu...Song Yu, Su Chaoyun, Yan Yunxia, Qu Xiang and other demon supervisors led hundreds of forbidden troops to guard the place. Our Prime Minister’s Mansion is surrounded!”
Chu Yi stood up suddenly and said angrily: "He is looking for death!"
"Sit down!" Chu Qinghui scolded, then took a deep breath and ordered: "Restrict everyone, especially those who worship the Grand Master, and never allow them to have the slightest conflict with Song Yu!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Chu Ren: "Go out in person and invite Song Yu and Su Chaoyun in."
Chu Ren hesitated slightly.
Chu Qinghui said in a deep voice: "Go!"
After a while.
Song Yu and Su Chaoyun came to Chu Qinghui's study under the leadership of Chu Ren.
"I've met the Prime Minister." Song Yu looked serious and raised his hands to Chu Qinghui, "Please also ask the Prime Minister to hand over Qian Zhenren, the murderer of the third-rank general."
