In the main hall of the palace, several high-ranking officials have been waiting for a long time.

In addition to the three important ministers who visited in the rain yesterday, several other ministers of the imperial court also came this time. These people all had a high status in the previous dynasty, and since Nangong Ze succeeded to the throne, they have not been favored and have become mediocre.

This time, many people came, and they waited in the main hall, which made Nangong Jue feel strange all the way - because the imperial court was very taboo about the gathering of ministers, they used to come in batches and secretly; And in the past, I chose a low-key and remote back hall, but this time I chose a main hall with many eyes and ears!

Why is that?

With a look of doubt, Nangong Jue quickened his pace to the main hall, greeted all the ministers, and walked to the main seat and sat down: "Everyone, it's so early!" ”

He had almost stayed awake last night, and although he pretended to be light and light, he could not hide his tiredness between his eyebrows, and there was a faint blue and black under his eyelids on both sides. He thought that he should be the only one in the audience, but he didn't expect it...... Almost everyone on the scene looked like this!

Is this collective not sleeping?

"Lord Wang, I don't know about the Ministry of Rites Xie Ran, have you heard about it?" The official who sat closest to Nangong Jue spoke, this person's surname was Jiang Mingchao, and he used to hold important positions in the household department, but after Nangong Ze succeeded to the throne, he was transferred to an idle position.

Thanks?

Of course, Nangong Jue has an impression!

He raised his eyebrows, secretly glanced at the three important ministers who were sitting a little farther away, and nodded indifferently. Yesterday, these three people came to report, and they were all about Xie Ran, accusing him of coming up with the idea of a "life sacrifice".

"What? What's new about him? He took the opportunity to ask, already thinking in his heart how to transfer this matter to Nangong Ze's hands.

Thank you for it, but the punishment is on you!

This kind of thing would be more reasonable to hand it over to Nangong Ze.

"We came here in the middle of the night for this matter, and in the morning someone came to report it, thank him for ......" Jiang Chao's voice paused, and he looked around the scene, as if after asking everyone's consent, he muttered, "...... Xie Ran died this morning. ”

"What?" Not only Nangong Jue, but the expressions of everyone at the scene turned solemn.

Xie Ran has been in a lot of scenery recently, and he can be described as a hot minister in the court! Judging from the present, Xie Ran must have a bright future! Once such a person dies violently, the cause of death will definitely be found out that "someone assassinated", and someone will definitely make a big fuss......

Aren't they, who have always been at odds with Xie Ran, waiting to ask about the suffering of sin?

"Which of you did it?" At this time, it was not trivial, Nangong Jue asked solemnly and carefully.

No one answered at the scene, but Jiang Chao took the lead in explaining: "Lord Wang, no matter how much we hate, we won't kill Xie Ran at this juncture!" Thank you...... Died a weird death! Yesterday was still normal......"

The people at the scene nodded yes one after another, and just one by one, the whole thing was pieced together-

Xie Ran was fine until noon yesterday!

Yesterday at noon, someone here also talked to Xie Ran. At that time, Xie Ran was busy preparing the list of sacrifices for the imperial court, and he looked arrogant, pointing fingers at them......

However, it is said that last night, Xie Fu called almost all the doctors in the capital to go to see a doctor, and also invited the imperial doctor from the palace. It is said that Xie Ran himself shrunk in the quilt and refused to see anyone, and he didn't even dare to move......

After the first half of the night, in the second half of the night, Xie Ran seemed to be crazy, running and shouting desperately in the yard, and the whole person seemed to have lost his mind. The imperial physician and several members of the family finally suppressed him and treated him according to the symptoms of madness...... But no one expected that before the boiled medicine could be drunk, Xie Ran suddenly "went"!

This is quite mysterious to everyone present! No one knows what Xie Ran died for?

Judging by his performance alone-

It's not so much that you're crazy, it's like you've fallen into evil!

…………………………

The people present were gossiping, and finally made this matter clear, so that Nangong Jue completely understood.

"I don't think this matter has anything to do with you, so you don't need to worry about it!" Nangong Jue opened his mouth and comforted them in a shallow voice, but he didn't mean to make decisions for them, "As for Lord Xie's funeral, this king will start arranging it!" ”

As for the reward or something, I can only wait for Nangong Ze to come back and get it personally!

He is like an ordinary prince, doing what he can do, and ignoring the deep meaning that these people want to express again-he knows very well: they want the disputes of the court and force him to rebel! Force him to get involved in a battle of right and wrong and take the throne over!

Nangong Jue has never cooperated!

It is precisely because he can understand their thoughts that he refuses in this silent way.

The throne, he has long since given up!

He also hopes that these old ministers can also give up this obsession as soon as possible and give up the idea of supporting him......

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

After Nangong Jue's "explanation", although the ministers were reluctant in their hearts, they had no choice but to muttered and get up and leave the palace, sighing helplessly for the N+1st time......

If the prince really has no intention of this world, their career in this life will be over!

"Lord Wang!" Jiang Chao stood up, and also shrugged his shoulders and took a few steps forward, but he suddenly turned around, as if he thought of something, and hurriedly reminded him, "Lord Wang, you must keep your distance from that Qinglan princess!" ”

"Huh?" Nangong was stunned for a moment, and the cold that flashed in his eyes passed.

He and Tang Li went out at night, and no one ever saw it, and they never deliberately attracted attention...... Where did he come from such a reminder?

"What do you mean?" Jun Mei raised, and Nangong Jue asked directly.

"Lord Wang, you don't know anything." Jiang Chao lowered his voice and leaned over to make sure that the other ministers couldn't hear it, so he continued to report in a low voice, his voice strange, "That Princess Qinglan has something weird...... The last person Xie Ran visited when he was normal was her. ”
