Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Wind Rises

The next day, Si Mohuai went to the palace to ask the emperor for a holy decree, to return to Yongzhou to deal with family affairs, the people of the entire Qingzhou City knew that their respected general suffered this catastrophe, and they spontaneously lined up to see Si Mohuai off at the gate of the city.

None of this is Aman's business, and she is not interested in seeing this kind of excitement, but the guests who came to the palace today almost made her jaw drop, what is the matter with this white-bearded old man without clothes, walking in the palace like no one, and even the people here will salute respectfully when they see him.

"Say, what's going on? How do you look like a regular visitor to the palace? ”

No clothes will not be frightened by the paper tiger Aman,

"You are only allowed to eat and drink spicy food in the palace and enjoy the blessings, can't you let me get a glimpse of it?"

"Stained? I see that your old posture is more powerful than a bandit in the palace, let's say, what's going on? ”

Unhurriedly explained the cause and effect of his recent stay in the palace to Aman,

"I see, now that the matter is settled, what are you doing here?"

"It's not for you, a dead girl with no conscience, I heard that you went to Beidi when I didn't go back to Migu, Zichong went back and told me about Zhen Zhen, can I rest assured of you?"

Wuyi was so angry that his beard was about to fly when he said this, and as soon as Aman heard this, his arrogance immediately wilted, and he immediately changed to a flattering face,

"Don't worry about me, don't you think I'm not good, as for Zhen Zhen, what she does is follow her own heart, since she has no regrets, I won't drill the horns."

"That's good, wait a minute...

Wuyi seemed to have found something terrible, he even suspected that his old eyes were dizzy, he looked left and right at Aman, and felt that something seemed wrong, Aman suddenly reacted, her hairstyle today was combed by the maid in the house, saying that it was the most popular flying fairy bun in Qingzhou City recently, and she brushed aside the bangs between her foreheads.

"Wuyi, you see me blooming."

Wuyi noticed that it was the mark of the flower on her forehead, which made her whole person different, and this day finally came, does this mean that the seal of Diechu is about to be unable to hold on?

Aman saw the unclothed old man with a wrinkled face, because of this frown, her whole face was about to shrink, and she pursed her lips in disgust,

"Aman, where are the Fengchen bandits? Why isn't he in the house? ”

"He went into the palace."

"Okay, then I'll go back to the room and lie down for a while, and when he comes back, you can call me again."

After Wuyi finished speaking, he walked straight to the largest guest room in the west wing.

"Stinky old man, I really don't treat myself as an outsider."

In the palace, this morning, more than half of the officials played about the demon trouble in Yongzhou City, some said that they would unite the people of the Western Immortal Gate to carry out a large-scale demon eradication operation, and some said that General Si had ended up ruining his family for the sake of Nanshan Rongma's life, and proposed to build a merit monument for the Si family.

Feng Xibai sat at the top and listened to the people below arguing, he was like a person watching a play, after a long time, he held his cheek with one hand, and gently tapped on his knee with one hand, seeing that the ministers below were almost fighting, and when he was tired and stopped, he began to preside over the overall situation.

"Everyone, Aiqing, the Queen Mother's health has been poor recently, I really lack skills, what demon clan, what merit monument, why don't you discuss it later?"

Feng Xibai's words made the ministers look at each other, they felt that today's emperor's words were like child's play, and he would never postpone the important affairs of the court in the past.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this demon removal is imminent."

"Your Majesty, the ministers also thought that the matter of the Monument of Merit should be decided as soon as possible."

The two old ministers stood up and made a statement without humility or arrogance, which was seconded by some courtiers.

Feng Xibai looked at the dozen or so people kneeling down one after another, the corners of his mouth were lightly raised, he also stood up, brushed the folds of his clothes with his hand on the hem of his clothes that had appeared after sitting for a long time, and then walked down the steps step by step, the people kneeling on the ground did not dare to raise their heads, but when they saw the bright yellow on the ground, they realized that the emperor had come to their side,

"Li Aiqing."

An old minister who played the demon just now was named by the emperor, and he felt a little cold from the bottom of his heart, and there seemed to be something wrong with the emperor today.

"The great battle between the human race and the demon race recorded in the history books three hundred years ago, do you think it is true or false?"

"Minister... I don't know. ”

"I don't know? You are so in the main battle, I thought you must think that those are all exaggerated, why should the demon clan be afraid of them? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister didn't mean that, the minister felt that if there was the help of the Western Immortal Gate...

"Xianmen? Have you ever seen them make a move? Three hundred years ago they stood by and watched, and now how sure are you that they will be on our side? Or do you think you can lead my Nanshan soldiers against the demon clan? ”

"Your Majesty, Minister... The minister is a literati. . . ”

Feng Xibai no longer paid attention to Master Li, who had already begun to tremble,

"In the past three hundred years, the demon plague has always existed, even during the reign of the first emperor, there are no less than 100 people who died due to the demon plague in Nanshan, how have you ever thought of eradicating the demon plague for those who died, and now there is an accident in General Si's family, you jump out one by one, I don't know if you are really for my people in Nanshan, or just want to please the general?"

"I don't dare."

"The minister is terrified."

Feng Xibai looked at these greedy and fearful of death, brushed his sleeves away, and before going up the steps, he seemed to remember something again,

"By the way, there is also the merit monument proposed by Wang Aiqing."

"Minister... I just feel that General Si has worked hard and made great achievements, and he should be rewarded for his meritorious deeds. ”

Lord Wang knew that he couldn't retreat at this time, otherwise the emperor would think that he was a repeated villain, and he could only stubbornly insist on his own opinions.

"On meritorious deeds? Wang Aiqing's words are very reasonable, General Si has indeed made a lot of contributions to my Nanshan birth and death over the years. ”

"Your Majesty."

Lord Wang wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead with his sleeve,

"It's just that this merit monument, only for other families, will it chill the hearts of those soldiers who went into battle to fight in person?"

"This... Minister... ”

Lord Wang couldn't figure out the holy will, and he didn't dare to draw conclusions lightly, he felt that the emperor seemed to be deliberately targeting Si Mohuai today, could it be that the rumors of the past few days were true? The Queen Mother's coma and Si Mohuai's departure were all intentional actions of the emperor to uproot the Si family?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the merit monument should be erected, but it should record the names of all the soldiers who gave their lives for my Nanshan country, so that the people of the world and even future generations can remember their exploits."

Lu Ting's words made Lord Wang on the side suddenly,

"Your Majesty, is it because the ministers are not thoughtful, or Lord Lu is thoughtful, the merit monument should belong to all the Nanshan soldiers."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the motion."

"Okay, then according to what Lu Aiqing said, from tomorrow onwards, the merit monument will be repaired outside the imperial mausoleum, so that those soldiers who have shed blood for my Nanshan will be admired by future generations."

Feng Chen bandit felt that today's court was particularly lively, he didn't say a word, just watched this good show, I'm afraid that Lord Li and Lord Wang themselves don't know who led to a point of no return, today's events have completely made those who can't see the situation clearly enlightened, from tomorrow, they will blatantly start to form a party, is it the emperor or the queen mother and the Si family? Feng Xibai has been preparing for so long, what he wants is an opportunity like today, with just a small fire, he can force those who support Si Mohuai and some wall grass to show their original form.
