Chongguan anger into red face
After reaching a consensus on this matter, Nangong Jingnv did not raise any more sensitive topics. Qi Yan could see that Nangong Jingnv was working hard to maintain the status quo and cooperated with complex emotions.
Qi Yan didn't expect this to happen. Nangong Jingnv was reluctant to face the issue of her own identity. If it wasn't for her being too important in Nangong Jingnv's heart, so important that even racial differences could not be shaken, why would she bother? in this way
Qi Yan wanted to cry, but in front of Nangong Jingnu, she couldn't shed a single tear. Revenge was firm, the process was thrilling, and the ending was bitter...
Ding You's words echoed in Qi Yan's ears again: Why are you so troubled? Nangong Rang is already on the verge of rotten wood and has few breaths left. Even if he doesn't move, he won't be able to live for a few days.
At that time, I didn't feel much about Ding You's words. What reverberated in my mind were the scenes of the destruction of the grasslands, as well as the experience that Bayin described to himself, and the picture of Nangong Rang, after using the grassland people, to kill the grassland people in Xiazhikeng. .
He never forgot his mission to come to Wei Kingdom, even if Nangong had only a moment to live at that time, but if he was allowed to die like this, with the idea of believing that he would open up the territory and expand the land, he would live his whole life, and countless grasslands would survive. How can the dead live in peace
As the prince of the prairie, the orphan king of the plow department, Qi Yan has the responsibility and must let Nangong understand: what he did back then was not a great achievement but an unforgivable evil deed! He must also know that the grassland people came to ask for what he owed back then...
At the moment when she was alone with Nangong, Qi Yan had no choice.
She had to do this, even if she knew that it would make it difficult to return to Nangong Jingnu...
Qi Yan had already figured it out for a long time, and she was willing to give her life to Nangong Jingnu, which she owed her.
And what Nangong owes to himself and the entire grassland will not be offset by the existence of Nangong Jingnu.
However, looking at Nangong Jingnu who was close at hand at this moment, Qi Yan's heart hurt uncontrollably.
Time cannot be turned back.
Seeing Nangong Jingnu, who clearly knew the truth, but tried her best to pretend that nothing happened, Qi Yan felt heartbroken.
Although Qi Yan is in pain, she is also greedy for coexistence with Nangong Jingnv. Maybe Nangong Jingnv thinks she has the ability to protect herself. Qi Yan is very clear: her own disaster will eventually come. Before that, every inch of time is a biased.
The palace maid reported that dinner has been served.
Qi Yan and Nangong Jingnu came to the imperial dining hall together. The moment they saw the table full of dishes, Qi Yan's lips trembled and her eyes became wet.
All the dishes on the table are what I like to eat...
In order to hide her identity over the years, Qi Yan seldom revealed her preferences. There were a total of twelve dishes on the table, all of which were secretly observed and explored by Nangong Jingnu over the years.
Qi Yan tried her best to force back her tears, and said with a smile, "It's all the ministers like to eat."
Nangong Jingnu also showed a long-lost smile: "Use more if you like it."
After entering the table, Nangong Jingnu habitually took a knife to cut the roasted whole sheep in the middle of the table, and stopped after a knife, turned her head and looked at Qi Yan and handed the knife to her: "It's you Come on, let me know too."
Although there was no palace servant in the field, Nangong Jingnu still spoke very euphemistically, Qi Yan silently took the knife, and secretly said: She still accepts her identity as a grassland person...
This is the first time Qi Yan has held a razor blade after leaving the grassland. In fact, the grassland people eat mutton very rough, usually cut into large pieces or grab it in the hand, or eat it with a knife...
Qi Yan's inexplicable resistance made Nangong Jingnv understand the roughness of the grassland, so she recalled the way her mother cut the sheep, and divided the lamb into several large pieces according to the tenderness of the meat, and then thinly sliced them into thickness. The moderate meat slices strive to have a little burnt skin on each piece. I took an empty plate and sized it into a meat tower. Only then did I grab a clean cloth to wipe my hands, and put the dagger aside.
Nangong Jingnu read it with great interest: "Oh, so it looks like this, it's very unique."
Qi Yan was embarrassed, but said without changing her face: "Well, according to different parts, eat them in order from tender to old, the taste will be better, and it will not be easy to get tired."
Nangong Jingnu: "It's really elegant."
Qi Yan replied in a low voice: "The grassland is barren, and we can hardly grow other crops except grass. We can only eat sheep all year round, and with some leek flowers, it is green vegetables. The ingredients are single, and we can only choose the style and taste. Think of some tricks."
Nangong Jingnu nodded, took the plate in front of Qi Yan and scooped a spoonful of chive sauce: "Move your chopsticks."
Qi Yan: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The meal was very quiet, it got dark early in the late autumn, and it was dark at the end of the dinner.
Nangong Jingnu wanted to go back to the palace, and when she saw Fanxing standing not far away, she thought of Qiu Ju and the three of them again, and she felt quite uncomfortable.
I haven't crossed the threshold of the Imperial Dining Hall for a long time. I tried to speak a few times, but I felt that the priorities were important. I always had to deal with it one by one so that I would not get out of control, and I managed to stabilize Qi Yan's emotions. I was worried that this bull's temper would not cooperate What should I do
So I didn't say anything when I asked, let's pass this level first... Always keep the most important thing first, and then discuss other things.
Nangong Jingnu: "It's night, don't give it away."
Qi Yan: "I want to send you off to Your Majesty."
Nangong Jingnu: "Your eyes... oh."
Qi Yan sighed softly: "Chen... let's not give it away."
Nangong Jingnu pondered for a moment, then thoughtfully replied: "I alone should know about your affairs, and the rest should remain normal. Eyes... I will say the same when the time comes."
Qi Yan raised her arm in a salute: "Congratulations to Your Majesty."
Nangong Jingnu: "Rest early, don't work too hard."
Qi Yan: "Yes."
…
That night, Nangong Jingnu thought about it and made an order: the blockade of the capital will be opened early tomorrow morning, and officials, generals and generals who stay in Beijing will leave the capital immediately and do not need to visit the shrine.
In the past two days, Nangong Jingnv sorted out the information and roughly understood the reason why Qi Yan blocked the capital: Qi Yan was worried that someone in the court would collude with the princess of the previous dynasty, so that the courtiers misunderstood the empress's suspended animation so that the princess of the previous dynasty could come out. As for why she just let it go A Li Qiaoshan, either this person is a person from Qi Yan, or a person from the previous princess.
After these days, Beijing City has not received any news, perhaps as Qi Yan said: her plan failed.
And Nangong Jingnv is more worried: Ding Yi and Lu Boyan will secretly contact the courtiers, gather a crowd to "force the palace" to bring down Qi Yan, and take the lesser of the two evils.
Although the idea is good, Ding Yi, who is determined to cut the weeds and roots, is still one step ahead of Nangong Jingnu...
The next day, Ding Yi was wearing a shroud, with a white cloth on her head, and knelt on the court with a blood book in both hands. Some generals who were friends with Ding Yi also appeared in the court.
The anger in Nangong Jingnu's heart was already surging, but she didn't show it on her face. She sat on the dragon chair, glanced at it, and said lightly, "Ding Yi, which song are you singing?"
Ding Yi slammed his head on the ground: "Initiating your majesty, the old minister is ready to die at any time, willing to commit the following crimes, and first sue the emperor's husband Qiyan Qiyuanjun for false identity, abuse of private power, endangering the society, and conspiracy! "
Ding Yi's use of the word "first report" is very clever, according to the laws of the Wei Kingdom: the first report is a great contribution. Even if he is involved in a rebellion, as long as he wakes up and becomes the first complainant, at least his family will not be harmed.
And there is the most important one: before the case is completely knocked out, the first accuser will not be sentenced, imprisoned, or punished.
The Ministry of Justice will also strictly protect the life and safety of the first accuser until the case is over.
Nangong Jingnv: "Ding Yi, I think that you are the elders of the two dynasties and have been appeased again and again, but you are obsessed."
Ding Yi: "The evidence of this minister is absolutely true. As long as Your Majesty is willing to investigate carefully, we will surely find clues. As long as the hidden dangers of the court can be cleared up, the minister will not be afraid of death!"
Nangong Jingnv: "Okay, so brave and loyal. I'm sure you all know what Ding Yi told you? Do you guys... mean the same thing?"
Xing Jingfu, Gongyanghuai, and a cadre of courtiers from the Jinzhou faction came out one after another. After Xing Jingfu and Gongyanghuai first expressed their ignorance, Qin De was the representative of Jinzhoufu: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks Ding Yi, the general in front of the hall, is represented. This accusation is false and bloody. The emperor's husband served as the prefect of Jinzhou for three years. Under the governance of the emperor, all industries in Jinzhou recovered, the population grew, and the emperor loved the people like a son. He often appeared in the fields and ridges. The prefectures and counties under the prefecture are visited one by one, and all the people's complaints must be personally handled. During the three years in office, the people's complaints sent to the prefecture's yamen are all handled properly, without a single mistake. After suffering from the epidemic, ten rooms and nine empty spaces, the emperor replaced more than a dozen prefects before taking office, but the results were all unsatisfactory. And the emperor spent three years to prove one thing: it is not Jinzhou that cannot be saved, but the rescuers. None of them are conscientious. The royal husband knows the customs of Jinzhou, the climate of the land, and if someone falsely accuses him of not being from Jinzhou, the minister and the other will be the first to refuse. Your Majesty rejects Ding Yi's petition, investigates his motives, and punishes him severely!"
After speaking, Qin De lifted the hem of his official uniform and knelt down.
The dozen or so officials of the Jinzhou faction who stood behind all knelt down and shouted, "Think again, Your Majesty!"
Nangong Jingnu was very pleased, just as Qin De said: Qi Yan is a foreigner, but he has done many things that the Wei people can't do. .
Nangong Jingnu looked at Gongyanghuai, who nodded slightly.
Nangong Jingnu: "Every gentleman, please get up."
Everyone: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Nangong Jingnv: "I am very relieved to hear the words of the gentlemen. But since Ding Yi has committed the following crimes, he will also sue the imperial court. I believe he has his own considerations. I have doubts in my heart, even if I believe that the emperor will give the courtier an explanation. But…”
Nangong Jingnu paused and continued, "This is the first and last time. If the emperor's husband is found to be innocent, and someone dares to tell lies in the future, don't blame me for not being sympathetic, Ding Yi?"
Ding Yi gritted his teeth: "Old minister obeys the order."
Nangong Jingnu sneered: "The order is to block the Chengchao Palace from now on, and the three divisions of the Inner Court, Zongzheng Temple, and Dali Temple will have a joint trial. Every day from noon to midnight, officials of the three divisions can enter the Chengchao Palace with their waist badges. Inquiries and investigations, evidence collection, and the rest of the time, no one should ask the emperor for any reason!"
Ding Yi panicked and asked: "Your Majesty, this matter should be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment... This," What can this be found out
There was a dangerous aura in Nangong Jingnu's eyes, and she said with a smile, "Do you still want me to put the imperial husband together in the Prison of Punishment?"
Ding Yi slammed his head on the ground: "I don't dare, but it can be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Internal Court Division for tribunal, and the imperial husband will temporarily invite to Dali Temple..."
Nangong Jingnu: "Presumptuous! Is this Dawei's country the country of the Nangong family, or the country of your Ding family?"
Ding Yi: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, and this minister is just... just... according to the law."
Nangong Jingnv: "Yilu? Yilu, you are the former general of the third-grade hall in Dingyi District, and the collision with the Middle Palace should have pushed you outside the Meridian Gate! If the father and emperor are still there, your Ding clan will count as one hundred members each. A head is not enough to justify the crime! Today's matter is also in the hands of your Ding Mansion, but I am thinking of returning the innocence of the emperor. Even so, the emperor is still my pillow, and the three tribunals have already made the emperor suffer. After all the grievances, it is absolutely impossible for this matter to be handed over to foreign ministers.”
Lu Boyan knelt down, and many generals who were better than Ding Yi responded: "Your Majesty, calm down."
Nangong Jingnu glanced to the side of the court, and took those courtiers who stood in Ding Yi's camp in her heart: "Retreat."
