Before the fatigue of running around was too late to soothe, Nangong Jue instructed the housekeeper a few words, raised his feet and walked quickly to the back hall.

The back hall is located in a corner of the back garden of the palace, which is quite inconspicuous and dimly lit. This place is relatively close to the back door, so those important officials of the court who come to him for secret deliberations will choose this place and enter and exit through the back door.

When Nangong passed this time, there were already three important members of the imperial court waiting for a long time.

No one wears conspicuous court clothes!

These are all wearing dark clothes, with a slightly damp worn oil-paper umbrella at their feet, and they look as low-key as they are. Walking on the street in such a costume, no one will ever speculate about their identity!

Seeing Nangong Jue coming in, the three of them hurriedly got up and saluted.

"The prince is finally back, is this trip going well?"

"If you want me to say that Nangong Ze is also too deceitful! Go to the border to pick up a little princess, and the prince will go in person! It is clear that he wants to call the prince to erect his own majesty! Now he said that he would not marry the princess, and he would make all these moths...... "The other was indignant beside him.

"Not really! This man is too wicked! I deliberately released those rumors at the beginning...... If it weren't for the prince's intention to concede, how could he have his share in this throne? ”

Nangong didn't speak, but they complained first.

The three of them were all former important ministers, and they were also part of Nangong's loyal supporters. At that time, in the battle for the throne of Cangxingguo, these few belonged to the group that advocated him to be the emperor! It's just that something changed later, Nangong Ze became the emperor, and they became unfavored ministers......

If it weren't for the fact that they all still retained the exploits of the previous dynasty, I am afraid that with Nangong Ze's belly, they would have been completely banished from the imperial court a long time ago!

Today, although they are not favored, they also care about the country.

At present, the current situation of the country is undecided, and they often walk around in Nangong Jue and chat with him about national affairs. The intention of these people is this: if Nangong Jue is willing, they will overthrow Nangong Ze and support Nangong Jue as emperor!

But-

Nangong Jue was willing to discuss national affairs with them, but he was unwilling to seek a dynasty and usurp the throne.

Under the "enthusiastic persecution" of these courtiers, Nangong Jue set a two-year period with them - if within two years, Nangong Ze could not sit on the throne of the emperor and govern the entire country, he would replace him!

As a result, this "agreement" has continued from the beginning of Nangong Ze's registration to the present.

****************************************************************************************************************************

"The three adults have waited so long, they can't come to talk about this, right?" For the picture of their complaining and resentment, Nangong Jue has long been accustomed to it. He smiled lightly and asked lightly, "This king has heard these 'crimes' more than once......

The three of them were silent at the same time.

They also agree at present: Whether it is in terms of bearing or in handling things, Nangong Jue is obviously more suitable to be the emperor than Nangong Ze!

"The three adults came at the same time, and they have been waiting for this king here for so long, is there something wrong in the capital?" He sat down on the main seat with his feet raised, sipping his tea casually, and asked lightly.

That's what I asked, but I sighed helplessly in my heart—

It seems that he really has to try to speed up and try to let Nangong Ze return him to his fiefdom as soon as possible!

Since he gave up the country to him a year ago, he has no intention of being in this world in this life.

And he believes: Only when he goes far away will these old ministers take care of themselves and completely settle down to assist Nangong Ze! In that case, even if he has a lot of deficiencies now, he will be quickly made up......

"Someone in the court offered a 'life sacrifice'." To get back to the point, the three of them sat down at the same time, frowning and talking about disturbing current events, "There is a great drought in the southwest, and someone actually proposes this method!" The Xiongnu are already ready to move, if the people's hearts are unstable because of this matter, what can the country do at that time? ”

They don't want to help Nan Gong Ze either!

But this matter is not only about Nangong Ze's throne, but also about the entire Cangxing country! They can't watch Cangxing Kingdom fall at the hands of Nangong Ze!

Here's how it happened.

Previously, there was a great drought in the southwest, and the people were seriously affected, and the country also used the way of worshipping the sky and praying for rain, but unfortunately it was to no avail! If the drought continues unabated, the people's opinions on the imperial court will be great, and now if there is such a cruel ritual as the sacrifice of the birth to the heavens, I am afraid that it will cause public outrage! When the time comes, the Huns will take the opportunity to attack in, who will be responsible for resisting?

"Nangong Ze also agreed to such a proposal?" Nangong Jue frowned.

"Isn't this still approved! He didn't go to court for several days, and he didn't know where he went. How can you just leave it on hold? The old minister muttered and complained, "In the eyes of the people, this kind of thing is tantamount to acquiescence!" ”

Nangong Jue's face was slightly gloomy: Indeed, this impact is not very good! It is detrimental to the people.

"Moreover, the few ministers who proposed this method have already begun to search for the people who are sacrificed!" The more the old minister spoke, the more angry he became, "I found a child, and I also found a girl...... They are all innocent children of ordinary people, and it is said that these children will be brought to the capital in the near future......"

The more he spoke, the more he felt sorry.

Nangong Jue suddenly interrupted him at this time: "Who is the person proposing the birth sacrifice?" ”

He's more interested in the initiator!

This person will be killed.

“…… It's Xie Ran, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites who was promoted last month. ”

And the other side.

Tang Li got out of the car, stepped on the mud and Ah Liu rushed into the post station, that scene is really as many civilians as there are civilians!

There were no officials who came to greet them, but the court was not ignorant, and after a long time, an official came late, with a very arrogant attitude, and just greeted Tang Li politely on the surface: "Thank you from the Ministry of Etiquette, see the princess." ”
