Chapter Ninety-Three: A Passion (Thanksgiving)

Mi Huang sat in the palace car and was escorted by the Five Cities Terracotta Division, which was actually escorted back to the palace in disguise.

On this day, it was the sixteenth day of August, and there were many, many people in the city of Yingdu, some of them were slaves of nobles, some were tenants born from landlords, some were commoners who could not eat their stomachs, some were merchants, some were poor scholars, and some were old and weak women and children......

They followed the palace chariot of the officers and soldiers in front of them all the way to the gate of the palace, and then they could not enter.

Originally, they should have left the clouds, and even disbanded on the spot according to the order, but they couldn't help but kneel down on the main city street, Dongcheng Street, and Xicheng Street at the same time, kowtow, thanks, and shout of allegiance to the mountain together......

These voices had never appeared a year ago, at the ceremony of the goddess of Mihuang.

At that time, only the ceremonial officials and ministers congratulated her.

In the eyes of the people, she is just a princess who has been in the army for three years.

The princess is just her title.

Nothing to do with her name.

But now there is, tomorrow she may be about to end this short career as a princess with only one year.

Perhaps a year ago, no one knew what strength this woman would have when she returned from the country of Yong.

In their eyes, everything about her comes from her surname and her concubine, but it has nothing to do with her, and even when she returned from the battlefield, she is still unknown, and her outstanding performance in the Zhou Mu case is also attributed to the top assistance of Cheng You's disciples.

But from this moment on, they witnessed that all these efforts belonged to her alone.

Even though she's just a woman.

But they are willing to follow, they are willing to believe, they are willing to bow down with all their might.

History may have changed from tonight, and the people who witnessed everything tonight may be destined to accompany her for the rest of her life, and one day, she will stand up tenaciously and raise her arms and shout to the whole of Kyushu.

Liu Yi rode on the horse, his lips moved, and silently followed everyone and shouted: "Long live the Phoenix Lady! Long live the Phoenix Lady......"

Huang Lin was also very excited, he had never seen such an exciting scene in his life.

From time to time, he shouted twice with the people: "Long live the Phoenix Lady!"

"Hooray!"

"Long live the Displaced People's Case!"

Along the way, Mi Huang sat in the carriage and listened to the sound of the mountains outside, even if she was introverted, she was also extremely moved.

Si Qin sat next to her, covered her sleeves with tears and smiled for her, "Lady, listen, everyone outside is chanting for you!"

"Hmm. ”

Mi Huang nodded rarely, lifted the bead curtain, and looked out the window at the people who were holding oil lamps and sparks and following her on foot on the two wings of her palace car, all kinds of people who had never known each other, and a trace of a long-lost warm smile rose.

The mighty voice became louder and louder as the palace car gradually approached the palace city, and even the king of Chu in the deep palace was alarmed, "Why in the middle of the night, where are so many people shouting Huang'er's name?"

"King, now the ministers on the Zhugong Square have knocked on the palace door overnight under the leadership of Lao Situ, and they are jointly signing a petition to impeach the princess on the square. ”

"Why?"

"Because of the ...... of the displaced people's case"

Zhao Changshou cautiously glanced at Princess Wu lying in the jade couch.

"Didn't the princess propose that the exile case was taken captive by a Zheng businessman, and it has not been solved so far? Is the criminal prison department still trying it? How can it be related to the princess again?...... "The king of Chu woke up in the middle of the night, his mind was in confusion, and he asked a few questions in a row, but he couldn't figure it out.

"The old slave doesn't know. ”

Zhao Changshou bowed his head and replied.

The King of Chu's face was as gloomy as ink and did not speak.

These ministers really don't call him peaceful all day long, and the only two days off in a month can't be finished well, "Let's make trouble, let's make trouble, let's see what tricks they want to make this time!"

The king of Chu scolded, then hugged Princess Wu, waved his hand and fell down the heavy curtain, isolating all sounds.

When Princess Wu heard that everyone was impeaching the princess, the corners of her mouth hooked, she didn't speak, and she lay down to rest, but no one knew what she was really thinking in her heart with her eyes closed.

……

Outside the palace, at this time, the knees were full of people who were unwilling to leave, and the Huben forbidden army saw that so many people disturbed the peace of the palace, and they all stepped forward with halberds.

But it still can't stop them from following suit.

Mi Huang opened the bead curtain, and everywhere he looked, there were people who could not see the end at a glance, and they were chased by the Tiger Ben Forbidden Army and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses with sharp swords and halberds, and they did not leave, and no one retreated because they were afraid.

Their eyes were just fixed on the Hehezhu Palace on the high platform.

and those civil and military officials who knocked on the gate of the palace in a carriage and horse overnight and climbed onto the square of the Zhu Palace.

Seeing the phoenix come out of the palace car, standing on the wheel, the crowd shouted again, looking at all the people who followed, with long black hair, wearing a phoenix crown, and his eyes were like phoenixes in the nine heavens, which contained the sparks in the night.

She raised her hands to the chanting crowd and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

Listen to her last words before entering the palace:

"Everyone, please allow me to say a few words. Maybe what awaits me tomorrow will be the judgment of the family of ministers, but tonight I can finally work together with you to this point, stand here together, I believe that tomorrow no matter what results are related to me, I can accept it, but there is only one result, I would rather die than accept:

That is the truth of the case of the displaced people.

That's the souls who died in this case.

That's the 50,000 relatives who were sent to the battlefield.

If they can't be recovered, how can we comfort ourselves, and comfort the dead?"

"Yes, I can't say so!"

"We must win this case!"

Mi Huang's face was calm, looking at the palace gate, tens of thousands of people on the ten-mile long street, her eyes were like an endless sky, and there were fierce stars flashing on the starry sky, but because it was too far away, no one noticed the blazing light in her eyes.

Her voice was calm.

But there was excitement in the peace, as if there was a huge amount of power, "So please go back now, and after the ban is lifted early tomorrow morning, we will find our lost relatives with me!"

Face the crowd.

Mi Huang bent her waist deeply, bowed for their support, "Thank you!"

Everyone was stunned.

Immediately, I heard a loud noise suddenly.

I saw that Bu Yin, who rarely spoke, didn't know when he held his flag high again, landed on the ground, and made a loud noise, shouting loudly, "Long live the princess! Long live the Chu country! The case of the displaced people will be won!"

Immediately after, all the soldiers of the Phoenix Feather Guard knelt in front of the Huang Huang and shouted in unison, "I, the Phoenix Feather Guard, swear to follow the princess to the death, whether the princess is a princess, a princess, or a commoner!

It was as if the night wind was blowing across the entire land of Jingnan, and this shout woke up the souls of the people who had been sleeping for a long time.

Before they left, they knelt down at the feet of Mi Huang one by one, and he shouted in unison: "Long live Chu State! Long live the Tai Maiden! Long live Huang Yuwei! The case of the displaced people will be won!"

Even those soldiers and horses of the Five Cities and the soldiers of the government knelt down and surrendered under the leadership of Liu Yi.

The Tiger Ben Forbidden Army didn't know what to do, but they knelt down together for the last time.

At this moment, listening to the loud shouts in her ear, she suddenly felt that there was hot blood boiling fiercely in her pulse, and she was about to gush out a warm blood.

Maybe one day in the future, the history of Jing Man will always remember this day, because from this moment on, the people of Chu are no longer the tame sheep who were afraid and trembling and kneeling under the nobles in the past, they also have a kind of strength and blood.

Maybe one day, they will struggle to stand up because of this strength.

It's like ten years ago, there was a little girl who stood up alone in fear.

Perhaps from this day on, in the future, there will be a more powerful and fearless army in the whole of Kyushu, this army does not distinguish between dignity and inferiority, regardless of up and down, but it shines in the whole Kyushu, they open up the infinite territory of Jing Barbarian, for the blood in their hearts to last forever.

The palace door closed with a bang, cutting off the woman's figure.

Everyone receded like a tidal wave.

Back home, they kept their promises.

Back in the Wanji wonton shop, Lao Wan asked Xiao Si to find out his filial piety clothes, change them overnight, wear linen and filial piety, and then take off Aunt Liu's spirit card on the counter, hold it in his hand, and say, "Tomorrow, I will find Liu'er on behalf of my aunt!" and Xiao Si also hugged the wooden sign with the word "sacrifice" written in the hall on his chest, "Well, Xiao Lizi Junye, I must also want to see the lawsuit win!"

Primary 5 and 6 Everyone......

In the Wanji wonton shop, everyone knelt straight in the hall, holding the spirit card, looking at the dim night as midnight outside the Zhu window, without a trace of starlight, quietly waiting for the dawn to come.

With all the neighbors, he agreed to go with him after the ban was opened on the fifth watch tomorrow, and when he returned home, the old man didn't sleep anymore, as if he was explaining the future, he found out all the private money and handed it to his only granddaughter, but the girl took his hand and said, "Grandpa, early tomorrow morning, I want to go with you!"

The old man touched her head, "Like my granddaughter!"

"Guts!"

Back in the slums, the fifth and eighth were back to back, in the dilapidated grass hut, rolling their heads and hugging themselves tightly, and said sullenly through the old cotton wool, "Old eight, I want to join the army in the future, I want to participate in the Phoenix Feather Guard." In my life, I haven't wanted to do anything earth-shattering, but this time, I'm going to do a big one!"

"Fifth brother, what you say, I'll do it. ”

"Anyway, I'll follow you and Brother Dog, you are smarter than me, and what you said is right. ”

The eighth child said dumbfoundedly, "And that lady is also very powerful!"

……

At the first time when the ban was lifted on the fifth watch, the first crisp bang of the old man, as promised, rang as promised, fell on the streets and alleys, and the people quickly opened the broken doors of their homes, and brought their families and mouths together.

They came so fast, like the prairie after autumn.

When a spark is spilled, it spreads rapidly.

In full swing, in an instant.

Burn the whole of Jingnan.

The people of the whole city bowed their heads to the heavens, in order to seek the news of all the people, and the truth was revealed to the world.

In the East Palace, time passed minute by minute, and everyone was waiting for the ministers to make trouble in the Zhu Palace after dawn, forcing the King of Chu, who was unwilling to take care of the government, out.

Obviously, there is only one hour before it will be completely dawn, but at this moment, Mi Huang feels that it is extremely long.

It's so long that it's like her life.

Looking back, it's been twelve years.

Twelve spring and autumn.

From the first time she dreamed that she would die in the belly of the white dragon at the age of twenty when she was seven years old, she lived a life of walking on thin ice in this life, and every step she took, she was always careful and careful, looking forward and backward, for fear of making a wrong step and falling into death, from then on.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt very relaxed.

Because all of this is going to come to an end soon.

Mi Huang is dressed in profane clothes, has been sitting high on the East Palace hall is sitting in a precarious posture, the hall is placed Aunt Liu and Xiao Lizi's two coffins, in two or three days are their first seven burial days, she stepped forward, for them respectively on a pillar of incense, and then in front of their coffins, she silently recited a few words in her heart alone.

Siqin Si painted them all the time, although they followed.

But I didn't hear it too clearly.

The woman solemnly kowtowed three times, and then walked up to the palace wall of the East Palace, looking at the surging Zhu Palace in the distance, and her heart was light and clear.

Her eyes smiled, and finally cast on the people under the palace walls who could not be driven away even if the sword was added to the palace early in the morning, before dawn, and the sound of the ban on the fifth watch was heard.

They all knelt on the ground, some of the people had been injured yesterday and were still not afraid of death today, and some of the people were dressed in sackcloth, wearing white scarves on their heads, and holding spiritual tablets, so that they would die to show their will......

In this dim dawn, in the pale fog, there were still people holding a faint oil lamp in their hands, or a short candle, or nothing, just kneeling straight in front of the gate of the prison department, countless bright fires flickered slightly in the night wind, extinguished, and immediately someone used his fire to help the people around him re-light, and finally converged into a long fire dragon, which stretched along the East Street to the east gate of the Chu Palace.

With all sorts of silence, they silently confronted those cold and murderous Tiger Forbidden Army.

Ruo Ao Yuejiao was wearing a cold armor early in the morning.

Behind him stood rows of tall and mighty Tiger Ben forbidden troops armed with bows and arrows.

With a beautiful face, Mi Huang looked at the people kneeling under the palace wall with a smile, and shouted with them: "Return my relatives!

This smile is not like the proud look on Ruo Ao Ziyan's face.

At this time, there was a bit of indifference on Cheng Jia's face.

Even though at this time, she already knew that at dawn, her career as a lady might end because of this incident, but she had no intention of retreating.

Because she knows that there is one thing that cannot be overwhelmed by power at will, and that is the human heart.

She used to value the throne as much as her life.

Always afraid of losing.

will lose everything.

even felt that her rebirth was to rewrite the tragedy of her previous life, ascend to the highest throne, and let her be no longer controlled by anyone in this life.

But at this moment, in the face of the "throne" that was about to arrive, she didn't expect that compared to the people kneeling outside, she could say let go of this position so easily.

And relaxed.

Twelve years before and after, I haven't had an easy.

At this moment, she felt that even if she didn't have any more power in the future.

She will no longer be afraid of bullying by those who are in power.

Because she had another kind of power in her heart.

At this time, there may be no one in the entire Chu State except for her, even Ruo Ziyan can't understand what she wants at the moment, she just wants to fight for these people, not just for herself.

Even if she is crazy, she can't get the approval of Ling Yinzi, her father and all those in power.

She will not back down a point after they forcibly kidnap the people and kill Aunt Liu.

She must do it for the sake of the dead, the captive people, and all people.

Seek justice.

Time flowed slowly, and it seemed that in the blink of an eye, the night had actually passed.

It was supposed to be a day off, but the bell of the outer court rang suddenly, three rings, three falls, resounding throughout the entire Yingdu Wang City, and the sound echoed.

"The princess, the ministers are forced!"

"The outer court is open!"

"Well, let's get ready to go to court!"

Mi Huang turned around and strode down the palace wall, and everyone followed behind like a shadow.

Whatever you will face is falling back into the abyss.
