Jingshi has been towering for hundreds of years, just like an old man, sitting at the core of the sixteen states of Yanyun. History has left a series of marks on his body, making him exude a more dignified and heavy historical atmosphere.

In the early hours of the morning, our carriage stopped at Donghua Gate, took the carriage of the Praetorian Guard, which had been waiting here for a long time, and headed straight for the Forbidden City.

What makes people wonder is that there is no sign of intensive mobilization of troops in the Beijing division today, is there no awareness of the imminent war?

I couldn't help but clench my fists secretly and silently looked out the window.

This time there were only forty people who accompanied me into Beijing, and Hua Mei did not listen to my dissuasion, and was unwilling to return to the fleet early, I knew that she wanted to go home to see her father. For the wanderers who have left home, I understand this kind of homecoming. After all, I am a wanderer in this world, and I experience this feeling all the time, so I agreed to her request, just telling her to be careful.

Of course, it is essential that several elite female ninjas are sent to protect her. As soon as we entered the city, we parted, and she went home to visit her father, while I was already outside the gate of the noon court, ready to join the courtiers to meet the little emperor who had not been to court for a long time.

Zhu Yijun has hardly been in court since he began to fight with the ministers for the sake of the country. The courtiers invited three times and five times, but in the end, there was no reason, so they could only let the little emperor play tricks.

But recently, because the Northeast is not very peaceful, and the little emperor also knows the stakes, so he has no choice but to start going to the court recently, and today, it is the third day of the last dynasty.

I followed Chansley into the towering red wall, and I felt like I was back in a cage. Walking forward slowly, seeing the long queue in front of me, I felt a ridiculous feeling of queuing up to go to the grave.

The princes and ministers were described as sluggish and faltering, apparently with no interest in such a court - I didn't see what happened before, but I could guess that the inertia of the little emperor had made these courtiers lose confidence, and now they all came to work with a chaotic and passable mentality.

Suddenly, I felt a deep sense of powerlessness and sadness from the depths of my heart. In such an environment, even if I come back, how much change can I make?

I don't know who saw me first, but there was a loud conversation among the officials, and then the queue of officials slowly gave way to a passage so that I could directly face the person standing in the front row.

He looked very old, slumped, but his eyes were very attentive.

It's none other than today's Shoufu Shen Shixing.

The old man looked at me with hope in his eyes. Completely ignoring the gazes of the people around me, I strode towards Shen Shi.

In the eyes around him, there is jealousy, disdain, and a strong sense of watching excitement in it.

There is no fluctuation in my heart, only a deep sense of historical weight brewing in my heart, I am using my own fate to bet on the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty.

Walking steadily in front of Shen Shixing, the first assistant, who has been known for his steadiness or cowardice in history, faced him quietly.

Shen Shixing's eyes looked at me with a lot of content, as if he was relieved when he saw his best friend's junior. There are also a few old acquaintances next to me, smiling and waving at me, and it seems that they are also some nostalgic people.

After glancing around, I turned my gaze to Shen Shixing again. Although Shen Shixing is only twenty years older than me in this life, because of long-term hard work, his temples have already turned gray, and he looks like he is in his last years. In particular, the deep area around the forehead is as if it has been deeply engraved with a sharp knife, and the sight of it makes people feel a deep sense of compassion from the bottom of their hearts.

"You're back! Qilan! Shen Shixing's tone was very flat, but the warmth in his eyes made me feel a burst of warmth in my heart.

Before I left, Shen Shixing, as an important role under the account of the second uncle, had been active in the front line of civil affairs work, and made great contributions to the smooth implementation of the Ming Dynasty's decrees.

But because he couldn't tell whether it was a stable or cowardly character, it was always difficult to give him the most important positions, and the scene that once appeared in history proved my assumption.

Therefore, under my suggestion, the second uncle reactivated his "rebel" Yu Shenxing and saved half of the reformers. Now, with the departure of Zhang Siwei and Yu Shenxing, there is no longer a clear distinction between conservatives and reformers in the imperial court.

It's not because of a monolithic mind, but because the original two camps have been divided into several small camps, and there is constant infighting between them, which also makes it more difficult for the government decree to land than when the two factions fight.

Coupled with the inaction and chaos of the little emperor Zhu Yijun, the entire Ming Dynasty has actually been in a state of laissez-faire, so people often say that "the Ming Dynasty died in Wanli", which is what it means.

I bowed deeply to Shen Shixing, and I knew how heavy the courage was on his shoulders, so I kept a lot of respect for him: "Exactly! Shousuke-sama, I'm back! ”

Shen Shixing twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Xiang Wen Qilan has done a great job overseas, and he is worthy of being after Zhang Jiangling!" I have received a letter from Qi Nantang, Qilan's loyal and patriotic heart, the yen can be learned, you will follow me to face the saint in a while, and then explain the reality of the day to the saint, so that he can make up his mind and send troops to help Goryeo, so as to solve the urgent need of our country! ”

I arched my hand again and said, "Shousuke-sama praises it!" I don't know what kind of attitude is the main thing in today's temples? ”

Shen Shixing sighed when he heard this: "Today's imperial court is divided, and individuals are thinking about their personal gains and losses, who cares about you tomorrow?" As for the Holy ...... I hope that Qilan can have important information to tell as Qi Nantang said, and advise the saints to make up their minds, which must be a blessing for the Ming Dynasty and the people! ”

I nodded, but smiled bitterly: "Shousuke-sama thinks too highly of me, and after so many years of wandering, I am no longer the boy who whipped out of the plug back then. Now that I am back, I am willing to do my best for Huaxia again. As for the ending, it is not far from the bottom. ”

Shen Shixing naturally understood what I meant, patted me on the shoulder, and smiled very gently: "Qilan can have this heart, and it is not false and fake, which is admirable!" We are dedicated to the country, the sky can be learned, I believe that the result will live up to the sincerity! ”

As he was talking, the eunuch recitals over there had already sang, inviting the hundred officials to enter the court. Shen Shixing didn't say much, and patted me lightly on the shoulder: "Let's go!" Qilan, you don't have to worry, everything has me, just say what you think. ”

I smiled, didn't say much, bowed my hand to Shen Shixing, and followed him into the temple.

The Qianqing Palace is still tall and majestic, the hundred officials are divided into civil and military, walk up the steps, arrive at the palace, the little emperor sits in the middle, the courtiers bow three times and knock nine times, and the mountain shouts long live.

I didn't want to bow down, but Zhuo Li was on the spot, looking faintly at the emperor who was only twenty-five or sixteen, but looked like he was in his thirties.

Shen Shixing was taken aback on the side, and wanted to come over and pull me to kneel, but I saw the little emperor waving his hand at the official and said, "Flat!" Then he asked, "Who is standing in the temple?" Why not kneel? ”

His voice was sharp and hoarse, and he looked like he had been indulging in wine for a long time and his body was hollowed out.

Shen Shixing was about to get up to answer for me, but he heard me answer aloud: "It's none other than Sun Qilan, the Duke of the British Empire and the first-class viscount of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Zhu Yijun raised his eyes and looked at me, and after a while, he slapped the dragon case and shouted: "It turned out to be you!" You betrayed the country at the beginning, and now you still have the face to come back! Come, take this traitor down for me! ”

A group of armed Praetorian Guards immediately turned out on both sides of the main hall and surrounded me without saying a word!

Seeing this, I didn't dodge, but looked up to the sky and laughed!

I laughed wantonly and flamboyantly, and the whole hall was stunned on the spot, even the Praetorian Guards who rushed to arrest people were stunned!

"Wait!" The little emperor suddenly shouted again: "You traitor, why are you laughing? ”

Looking at his expression, it was clearly full of resentment, that kind of expression I had seen before, it was the kind of resentful expression mixed with jealousy, envy, and fear that he wanted to hide when he looked at the back of his second uncle and ancestor, but he couldn't hide it.

I laughed a few more times, then looked at the zenith, and sighed: "Originally, I came back to extend the national glory of the Ming Dynasty to this dying Ming Dynasty, but unexpectedly, it became the driving force behind the immediate burial of the Ming Dynasty!" I have the ability to wish you a firm seat in the dragon throne, but I unexpectedly want to see you become the king of the dead country! How can such an ending not make people laugh? ”

The officials in the Qianqing Palace were in an uproar! Someone dares to say such a rebellious word here, it is really the first time in the world!

The little emperor was stunned when he heard this, and then his face turned red and he screamed: "You! How dare you curse this dynasty! Cursed Son of Heaven? ”

I snorted coldly and was extremely disdainful: "If you want to catch it, you can catch it, and if you want to kill it, you can kill it!" It's just that if the Ming Dynasty does not die for three years, it will be a sky without eyes! ”

Zhu Yijun was so angry that he was about to order me to be killed on the spot, but he heard Shen Shixing shouting: "Your Majesty! The minister has this to play! ”

The little emperor gasped, stared at Shen Shixing deadly, trembling and pointing at him angrily: "What else do you have to say?" ”

Shen Shixing straightened up and said with a smile: "The minister wants to say that if His Majesty really executes Sun Qilan, I am afraid that the future may not be promising, and it may not be impossible for what he said to become a prophecy!" ”

Zhu Yijun's expression and movements suddenly froze on the spot, in his heart, Shen Shixing is just a soft egg, a good old man, the biggest is and mud, why dare to say such hard words in public today?

The civil and military officials are also shocked, and there are many visions today, could it be that something big is really going to happen?

There was an eerie silence in the entire hall, and even the emperor and other people didn't know how to speak. At this moment, the person standing first in the ranks of military attachés spoke.

"Your Majesty, since Sun Qilan said that my Ming Dynasty will have a catastrophe and the danger of losing the country, why don't you listen to what he has to say and make a decision before it is too late?"

I turned my head to look at this person, I didn't know him. But looking at his position, there is no doubt that he should be on top.

I only heard Shen Shixing behind him follow and said: "Exactly, Your Majesty!" Sun Qilan is now in the Jinluan Palace, why not listen to his words and make a decision before it is too late? ”

Zhu Yijun took a few more breaths, then looked at me and said viciously: "If you have anything to say, explain it quickly, otherwise you will be a ghost, and you will be ruthless!" ”

I snorted coldly, and my tone was flat: "Since I dare to come back, I must have my own certainty." Before, at sea, the Spaniards were like grass and mustard when they sailed thousands of sails and fired thousands of cannons! Now that he has returned to the Ming Dynasty, where the water army is almost zero, why be afraid? If you kill me alone, I will let the Ming Haijiang never be at peace from now on, no matter how you look at it, it will not be a loss! ”

Zhu Yijun said angrily: "You traitor, you actually threaten the widow!" Come on! ”

Before the words fell, the military attache who had just spoken spoke spoke again: "Your Majesty! Cannot! ”

Zhu Yijun looked at him and asked angrily: "Shen Shixing has an old relationship with that person, and he is blocking me." Why do you Shi Xing have to protect Sun Qilan again and again? ”

Shi Xing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, saluted Zhu Yijun and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is not defending Sun Qilan, but what he said is not a lie!" ”

"Wow"! There was a bang in the hall, and the hundred officials seemed to have exploded, and they were talking about it!

Today, a focal point who has been away from his country for many years has returned to his home country to make a big show of nonsense and defy the power of heaven on the Jinluan Palace!

Today, the two ministers, who have always been known for their steady, down-to-earth, and low-key nature, openly lashed out at the emperor and ignored the wrath of heaven!

Could it be that something big is really going to happen?

Above the main hall, everyone was in danger for a while. Everyone is wondering what will happen in the future......
