Secretly enshrined in imperial decree
"It's unreasonable, it's too much."
"Qi Yan's ignorance of the grace of the saints, and doing such a greedy thing, his crime should be punished!"
"This minister proposes that the guilty minister Qi Yan be pushed outside the examination court to rectify the law, so as to face the hearing!"
"This minister proposes that the results of this exam should be invalidated and the exam should be retaken on another day."
Nangongda: "Qi Yan... You are the royal family, this palace..."
Before "closing the coffin", Qi Yan, who had been silent for a long time, finally came out. She first bowed to Nangongda, who was in high position, and then bowed to Cui Yushi, who was lower in rank than her.
Qi Yan: "In the opinion of Lord Cui, what crime should this official be responsible for?"
Cui Yushi took a step back, opened the distance between the two, and seemed to disdain to be in the company of Qi Yan.
Cui Yushi brushed off his Guangxiu and said loudly: "This old man has been in the court for more than 40 years. He has worked as a clerk, a county magistrate, and has been an official and worshipped the imperial censor. He is familiar with the laws of the Wei Kingdom. Master Qi, no, Qi Yan! What do you think? The three major crimes committed should be executed according to the laws of the Wei Kingdom. Although you have the status of a royal family, you are only a relative by marriage. You should be sentenced to reconcile with His Highness Zhen Zhen first, and then be executed after the autumn!”
Nangong Jingnu, who was sitting behind the screen, narrowed her eyes when she heard the word "Heli".
Qi Yan hooked the corner of her mouth: "You adults have said so much, should I, the client, say a few words?"
Nangongda: "You talk."
Cui Yushi snorted coldly, turned his body sideways, and turned his back to Qi Yan.
Compared with Cui Yushi's impassioned enthusiasm, Lu Boyan's righteousness is awe-inspiring, and the ministers rise up to attack him. Qi Yan's expression was too calm, her voice was not loud, and her words were clear: "Three years ago, the minister was appointed as the prefect of Jinzhou, and the concubine went out to Beijing to serve as the local official... This is the number one in the ancient times. It's hard to say why, but in my opinion, maybe Jinzhou is my final destination. As for returning to Beijing... I don't dare to think about it. These words should not have been mentioned in the court, but You adults are forced to do this, Qi Yan can't sit still. I admit that I have pointed out the students' articles, how could I have other thoughts in my situation and mood at the time? Do I have the ability to predict? It's ridiculous. Therefore, the articles pointing to Jinzhou students are all from the heart of a teacher. My ancestral home is Jinzhou. wrong?"
Nangong Jingnu bit her lip: Jinzhou forever? So... Did Qi Yan go to Jinzhou with such a mood
Qi Yan: "But Cui Yushi has a sentence that is quite right, this official is indeed a good official, Jinzhou withered the official documents that I have to read every day, and it is enough to build a three-room tile in three years. Fang. How can I remember the handwriting of several articles in the residential area with such a heavy burden? Cui Yushi insisted that this crime be added to me, I have nothing to say. "
Cui Yushi turned around and glared at Qi Yan, Bai Huahua's beard shaking: "What a strong word, even if you can't remember, the other two big sins are enough to punish you!"
Qi Yan suddenly took a step closer and said in a low voice: "Master Cui is really a mouthpiece of iron and blood. I read the history books and saw that there was an ancient official who persuaded him to die. Now that I see Master Cui, I finally believe it..."
Cui Yushi snorted coldly: "It's just the duty of a minister, a jester like you won't understand."
Nangong Jingnu, who was sitting behind the screen, frowned slightly: There was no such clause in the previous agreement, and Qi Yan was going to force Cui Cui to death.
I wanted to understand that Nangong Jingnu was a little unhappy here, but after a little thought, she quickly understood. A person like Cui Yushi would not agree with the Empress, but he was highly qualified and had been praised by his father and emperor, so it would be very unfavorable for him to respond to him at that time.
As the saying goes, the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed in the ant's nest, and it is this kind of person who can't be ignored if it wants to achieve great things.
Nangong Jingnu sighed silently. It turns out that people who are as gentle as jade will also calculate, and Qi Yan and herself have changed.
Once Cui Yushi died, Qi Yan's reputation in the court and among the people would probably plummet, and this should have been borne by himself.
Whether it is the father and the emperor, or Qi Yan. They are silently shielding themselves from the wind and rain, what excuse do they have to retreat
Qi Yan lifted her robes and knelt down, and said loudly, "The other two counts are even more unfounded, the minister is just acting according to the order."
This sentence is a signal that Qi Yan and Nangong Jingnv agreed in advance. Nangong Jingnv nodded slightly, and Sijiu walked out of the screen with a bright imperial decree.
Forty-nine: "Your Majesty has a purpose..."
After reading the imperial decree, Si Jiu turned his wrist and revealed the imperial jade seal on the signature to the ministers.
Cui Yushi's body swayed, but Qi Yan did not intend to let him go, and said lightly: "So, does Master Cui have something to say?"
Cui Yushi coughed violently. Which of the courtiers present was not a human being? Qi Yan's previous remarks clearly knew about the impeachment a long time ago, and in a few words, Cui Yushi was cornered.
Everyone in the field looked at Qi Yan's eyes changed, she still knelt on the black slate, her thin body did not occupy a single slate, the crimson official uniform was spread out, and she looked like a weak person.
Lu Boyan, who had just been righteous and awe-inspiring, took a step back subconsciously, for fear that Qi Yan would lead the charge on himself.
Gongyang Huai was also shocked, but it was more complicated. An inexplicable emotion spread in his chest. Now he finally understood the changes and dangers of the court... But after a few breaths, the host and the guest were in different positions. The situation turned around.
The high-ranking Nangong Da looked gloomy, and Nangong Rang's imperial decree made him understand: although he was sitting on the dragon chair, this court did not belong to him, and he was a little resentful.
Cui Yushi's old face was flushed red. He had been a hawk all his life, and when he was getting old, he was blinded by sparrows!
A decree turned his impeachment into nonsense.
But the Censor has one last choice, just like what Qi Yan said... , maybe he can keep his innocence for the rest of his life.
Cui Yushi stopped coughing: "Your Majesty is confused! This move will lead to the distrust of the scientific examination, and countless students have been studying hard for more than ten years. How can we live up to it? The examination will be unfair, and the country will not be the country!"
After speaking, he took two steps back, sprinted angrily and slammed his head into the imperial steps. Cui Yushi embraced the heart of death, and the red and white slurry splashed in an instant.
The courtier let out an exclamation, and many people turned their faces away, unable to bear to watch any longer.
Nangong Da was the first to bear the brunt of the situation, and he was so excited by this scene that he had to pretend to be calm.
As for Qi Yan, she was still kneeling on the slate without even lifting her eyelids.
There was a dead silence, and I don't know how long it took Nangongda to hold his forehead and cover his face with his sleeves: "Come here, bury Mr. Cui generously, and the Ministry of Rites is responsible for taking care of his family."
Si Jiu stepped forward and sang: "Retreat!"
That afternoon, Qi Yan received a secret edict from Nangong Rang, with only four words on it: act cheaply.
The date is written on the inscription, and it is covered with a jade seal of the country.
Needless to say, the weight of this imperial decree, if it wasn't for absolute trust or expectation, Nangong Rang would never give it to himself.
Qi Yan held the imperial decree tightly in her hands: Abba, Aniang... The dead souls of the grassland, have you seen it
Suddenly, Qi Yan's heart sank.
She thought about her own sister Xiaodie and Nangong Shunv. Ding You said that Xiaodie may have been severely stimulated and her memory had become confused, or she may have sealed the painful memory for the purpose of self-protection... .
For the sake of revenge, he pretended to be Feng Xuhuang, the daughter of his enemy, but his own sister and another princess of the Wei Kingdom, a married woman, had a real marriage!
Dad, mother... Please tell me, what should I do
At night, Nangong Jingnu had already finished grooming and was about to fall asleep, but she suddenly heard Qiu Ju's startled voice: "Who is outside!" She saw the shadow penetrating through the door.
Nangong Jingnu was also nervous, grabbed the jacket and put it on her body: "What's wrong?"
Qi Yan's voice came from outside the hall: "Sister Qiu Ju, it's me."
Qiu Ju: "Concubine?" He opened the door.
Qi Yan: "Has Your Highness gone to bed?"
Qiu Ju: "Rong Numaid, go and have a look..."
Nangong Jingnu: "Qiu Ju, what's wrong?"
Qiu Ju stuck to the door and said, "Go back to your highness, the concubine is here."
Nangong Jingnu put on her shoes and walked out. She walked quickly to Qi Yan. Seeing that there was no entourage behind her, she said angrily, "It's so late, are you here alone?"
Qi Yan: "I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at night, so I reached out to His Highness on my own initiative."
Nangong Jingnu: "Come in."
Qi Yan: "Thank you, Your Highness."
The two returned to the bedroom and closed the door, and Nangong Jingnu frowned: "Why don't you bring an entourage? I didn't give you four night pearls, why don't you take one with you? You can't see at night, if you come alone bumped…”
Qi Yan took a step forward abruptly, raised her hand but stopped in mid-air, and finally grabbed the corner of Nangong Jing's sleeve.
The harsh words got stuck in her throat, Nangong Jingnu raised her eyes and looked at Qi Yan.
Qi Yan's lips twitched, and she caught Nangong Jingnu's slender wrist instead.
Nangong Jingnu held Qi Yan's fingers: "Why are your hands so cold?"
Qi Yan's eyes flickered, and she said in a barely audible voice, "Can I hug Your Highness?"
Nangong Jingnu stared at Qi Yan blankly, wondering if she had heard it wrong. When she saw the loss in the other's eyes, her heart tightened and she took the initiative to take a step forward, wrapping her arms around Qi Yan's waist.
Nangong Jingnu: "Why do you have to ask, has this palace ever rejected you?"
Qi Yan also hugged Nangong Jingnu back, and hooped her arm hard, as if she wanted to embed the other party into her body.
She put her chin on Nangong Jingnu's shoulder and sniffed the fragrance: "Your Highness blames me?"
Nangong Jingnv understood that Qi Yan was referring to the matter of killing Cui Yushi, and sighed softly, "I made you suffer."
Qi Yan: "Something..."
Nangong Jingnu: "I understand. These things... I should face them myself."
Qi Yan: "His Royal Highness... will one day be disgusted with abandoning ministers?"
Nangong Jingnv smoothed her back for Qi Yan, and replied gently, "This road may be destined to be unsettled. Apart from the emperor, there is only you in this palace."
