Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

Human feelings are as thin as paper

After returning to the dormitory from the prison of Dali Temple, Nangong Jingnu screened everyone back, first smashed all the things that could be seen in the hall, then walked around the house many times, and finally squatted on the ground, crying.

Crying and laughing again.

She raised the hand that was holding the whip just now, and beat it with the other hand continuously, until the palm of the hand was congested and swollen, and the other hand had no strength to beat again.

Qi Yan hates herself, this is the emotion Nangong Jingnv read from Qi Yan's eyes...

Nangong Jingnv hugged her head, feeling extremely painful, but in such an environment, seeing Qi Yan's neither humble nor overbearing, or even caring, Nangong Jingnv really couldn't control herself.

Nangong Jingnu: Qi Yan hates herself... She hates herself.

I don't know how long she squatted until her legs became so numb that she couldn't feel it, Nangong Jingnv struggled to get up, came to the bedside and fell down.

Nangong Jingnv shed tears, wrinkled the silk quilt on the dragon bed, and choked up after a while, which looked very much like when she was wronged when she was a child.

Whenever this time comes, Nangong Rang will compromise no matter what.

Nangong Shunv and Nangong Sunv would also come to comfort Nangong Jingnv. If there was a big commotion, even the concubine Liang and the elder brothers who didn't move around often would bring small gifts to comfort her.

But this time, no one came to comfort her in the empty emperor's bedroom.

Nangong Jingnu: "Why are you..." Why are you so stubborn?Why don't you even say a word of begging for mercy?Why, why is it obviously an unforgivable sin, yet you want to hate me instead?

Can't you say a soft word?

Just say let me spare you, even if you give it a try, why... are you so stingy with giving me an excuse to persuade me?

Qi Yan...

Nangong Jingnv fell asleep crying, and was awakened by Qi Yan's painful cries in her dream. She was so startled that she couldn't fall asleep anymore.

Nangong Jingnv looked at the sky outside the window. It might be some time before dawn, and the image of beating Qi Yan flashed in her mind again and again.

In the early morning of the next day, Nangong Jingnv went to court without having breakfast.

These days she is extremely against going to the court, all the courtiers are against her, every morning the matter of Qi Yan must be mentioned, and now that she has been imprisoned, the next step is to force herself to send her down...

But Nangong Jingnv still came, if I let those old Confucianists outshine me and avoid them deliberately, I am afraid that I will feel that I am hopelessly bewitched by Qi Yan, and I will hurry up and force myself.

After Nangong Jingnu sat down at the imperial case, Qin De, the Minister of War, came out holding a bamboo wat and said, "Show Your Majesty."

Nangong Jingnu: "Sure."

Qin De: "The Ministry of War received a good news last night!"

Nangong Jingnv's heart skipped a beat, she supported her forehead and said, "I approved the memorial for the whole night last night, please read it."

Qin De: "Abiding by the order." Your Majesty, Du Zhong, the governor of Huainan, paid homage to the capital from a distance, and kowtowed to His Majesty. On February 23th, the second year of Chengqi, all the six occupied cities under Huainan were recovered, and Huainan ended at this time Twenty out of the [-] hills hiding mobs have voluntarily surrendered, and the remaining three are just around the corner. So far, the chaos in Huainan can basically be declared pacified. The [-] million taels of silver allocated by the imperial court is like sending charcoal in the snow. Reconstruction after the disaster. I believe that Huainan will be able to restore its former prosperity in three to five years. This time, Huainan can be taken back without bloodshed. I believe that His Royal Highness should be the first to contribute. When His Highness was in Huainan, he lived with the soldiers and ate with the disaster victims. , and even came to the hall alone to listen to the voices of the mob, punish corrupt officials and civilians for grievances, and personally participate in the reconstruction of Huainan. The officials and people in Huainan have seen it in their eyes and are grateful. If there is no strategy for His Highness, act decisively... …The situation in Huainan is unknown, and this extraordinary hero would never dare to enjoy it alone. Here is a piece of quilt for the people of Huainan. , enjoy the admiration of all families, but I don't know what the holy will is?'"

When Qin De read "two million and twenty thousand", Nangong Jingnv had already sat up straight, Qi Yan only asked the court for 2 taels of silver, where did the extra 200 million come from?

But after a while, Nangong Jingnv understood, completely understood.

She...is indeed the real owner behind Sifang Bank!

How can there be such a coincidence in the world?As soon as he showed his worry about lack of money, this person offered him a plan to raise money from the people, and then a big fish came to his door in less than half a month?

Nangong Jingnv interviewed several times, but Qi Yan refused to admit it.

She also secretly sent someone to investigate, but they didn't find any clues, and she gradually began to believe that Sifang Bank had nothing to do with Qi Yan.

But... where did the 200 million come from?

You... why.

Why did you let me know this when I was about to give up on you completely?

Qi Yan, oh Qi Yan, how much... have you lied to me?

What exactly do you want me to do?

After Qin De finished reading the memorial, he presented the memorial to the servant, bowed and left.

Qin De's heart was also beating drums. He deliberately chose this time to submit this memorial, in order to win a chance of life for his mentor.

Even though the evidence is solid, Qin De still can't believe that his teacher is from Jing, and she is a woman!

how can that be possible?

How could such a person of peerless beauty and intelligence be the princess of an old enemy country who murdered the king and plotted rebellion?If he was a woman, where did Princess Yan Yang come from?How did you hide it from the couple with His Majesty for many years?

In short, if I haven't heard my mentor admit it for a day, I will stand by him!

Seeing the silence of the high position, Gong Yanghuai also struggled in his heart, and his father clearly warned him: From now on, we must draw a clear line with Qi Yuanjun.Regardless of whether what Li Qiaoshan told was a well-planned slander or the truth, since His Majesty has executed Li Qiaoshan, there is no possibility of overturning the case. Even if Qi Yan is innocent, he is finished !

Gongyang Zhong also said: Gongyang’s family has been ministers for many generations, and the position of Zongzheng Siqing was almost lost in his hands. The court situation is changing rapidly. Although the situation of the empress’s enthronement is relatively simpler than that of the prince, you must not stand on the wrong team. .

Right now, there are crazy rumors that Qi Yuanjun is a woman, regardless of whether it is true or not, it is impossible for him to "verify his identity" as the emperor's husband. Besides, he has been married to His Majesty for many years and has not given birth to a man and a woman. The situation of Princess Yan Yang You should know.

A royal husband without a son in person is equivalent to a queen without a prince, and her status is not very strong.

Even if the female Husband is unattractive, the opinions of the courtiers are unprecedentedly unified. For the sake of the entire Gongyang family, you can no longer stand out. Keeping silent is considered worthy of Qi Yuanjun!

It wasn't hot in the hall, but beads of sweat oozed from Gong Yanghuai's forehead. Qin De pressed his lips and coughed several times. Gong Yanghuai came back to his senses, took half a step forward with his left foot, and then retracted it...

Gongyanghuai: I'm sorry, Mr. Yuan.There are hundreds of people in the Gongyang family, I... really can't afford to lose.

In the end, Gongyanghuai didn't say anything to help. He was a child of a noble family, not an upstart like Qin De. He shouldered the future of the entire Gongyang clan, so he couldn't act on his will...

Nangong Jingnu was still in a trance, Zhongshu Ling Xing Jingfu and Zhongshu Zuopu She Lu Boyan came out together, holding jade wats in both hands, and said: "Qizou Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Nangong Jingnv came back to her senses, seeing these two people, her teeth itch with hatred.

Ever since Qi Yan's incident was exposed, Xing Jingfu, an old fox, had reached a tacit understanding with Lu Boyan, and spared no effort in admonishing him, playing and trying to force him to get rid of Qi Yan.

Lu Boyan's position is not difficult to understand. At first, Nangong Jingnu was a little surprised by Xing Jingfu's approach, but after thinking about it, she understood: it turned out that he, like Ding Yi and his son, wanted to cut grass and root out!

Although Xing Jingfu did not directly participate in the Battle of Jingwei that year, the purge of aliens was Xing Jingfu's idea. Is he afraid that Qi Yan will settle accounts with him?

Ah……

This old thing has a very high prestige in the civil society. It can be said that the current situation of "unity" among the courtiers has something to do with Xing Jingfu.

Without waiting for Nangong Jingnv to open her mouth, Xing Jingfu took the initiative to say: "Qizou Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate!"

Nangong Jingnv squinted her eyes: "Zhen, have I asked your opinion?"

Xing Jingfu's old face froze, he cleared his throat, held up the jade wat, and said loudly: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I have something to say."

Nangong Jingnu took a deep breath: "Speak!"

Xing Jingfu: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the old minister thought that the report of the Huainan Jiedu envoy must never be accurate. May I ask how the rebellious officials and thieves who plot against and kill the king can afford the merits and deeds of the people? This matter has not yet spread to all places. The Huainan Festival Dushi is considered an unintentional mistake, so the old minister suggested that Qi Yan should be sent to the Ministry of Punishment, and the three halls of the Inner Court, the Ministry of Punishment, and Dali Temple will interrogate him, and his crimes will be announced to the world, and he will be dealt with according to the law. Let’s not miss it, the emperor’s husband is guilty of the same crime as the common people!”

Nangong Jingnu: "What crime?"

Xing Jingfu was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Naturally, it is the three major crimes laid down by His Majesty, the crime of murdering the king and conspiracy, murdering the emperor's heir, and endangering the country!"

Nangong Jingnu: "When did I say that?"

Xing Jingfu: "Hasn't Your Majesty ordered Li Qiaoshan to be beheaded? The veteran thought that Li Qiaoshan was the first to sue. According to the laws of this dynasty: the first sue should not be punished before the case is closed. Since Your Majesty has asked Li Qiaoshan to be beheaded, then it will be regarded as this." The case has been declared closed, and although Li Qiaoshan is the first to accuse, but what he committed is death-defying, which means His Majesty has acquiesced to what Li Qiaoshan told, otherwise His Majesty will kill the first accuser, and he will be suspected of murder!"

With a "bang", Nangong Jingnv slapped the imperial case heavily: "Presumptuous! You are not at home, Ding You, what are you doing out? When you were asked to go to Huainan, you asked to resign, and now what are you going back to the court for?"

Xing Jingfu knelt down on the ground: "The old minister deserves to die, but he was shocked to hear that there was a big change in the court, and was invited by his colleagues three times, so he temporarily entered the court regardless of filial piety, just to persuade His Majesty to return to the right path, and the old minister will return to the hut. If you don't take half a step, as the saying goes, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be fulfilled, and I hope that your majesty will sympathize with the painstaking efforts of the veterans, even if they are scolded by the world for being unfilial, as long as my Dawei River and mountains will last forever, there is no need for the veterans to be stigmatized for thousands of years!"

When Xing Jingfu knelt down, almost all the officials in the court knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty, please think twice."

"If rebels are not punished, the country will be uneasy."

"My minister agrees."

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

In the arena, only military officers were still standing. Apart from Qin De, even Lu Boyan knelt down among the civilian officials.

Nangong Jingnv looked at the courtiers who were kneeling on the ground, and sneered three times: "Retire!"
