In the open space in front of the yamen of the Criminal Department, hundreds of people gathered at once, in addition to the dozens of people who directly participated in the night sacrifice, more people came to watch. Although these people may not recognize Cui Mingli, the people also know what it means to be loyal and righteous, and they are willing to participate in the sacrifice of loyalty and righteousness in the court, and they are also willing to participate in it.

At the beginning of the night festival, Gu Weipan took out a eulogy and read it. Gu Weipan couldn't help crying while reading, infected by his affection, and some of the onlookers cried along with him.

Han Jian was originally in the crowd, observing the changes in the shape around him. With the people's feelings infected, Han Jian felt that it was time to make the situation more chaotic.

Han Jian asked people to take out the incense candles that had been prepared a long time ago, and these incense candles almost bought out the incense and candle shops in the entire Luoyang City. That night, Han Jian wanted ordinary people to offer incense to the loyal ministers of the Wei Dynasty represented by Cui Mingli.

In the center of the night festival venue, Gu Weipan had already finished reading the eulogy and personally offered incense to worship. After the worship, Han Jian knew that even if those people intended to come out to offer incense, they might not dare to show their heads. Han Jian knew very well the reason for shooting the first bird.

However, Han Jian also had already made arrangements, he had already let Mrs. Luo's people hide in the crowd, and at this time, as long as someone dared to come out to offer incense, the other people would follow suit, so that the people would be mobilized.

Sure enough, when a few people plucked up the courage to come out and offer incense, then several people who looked like scholars also came out to offer incense. Han Jian guessed that these scholars should admire Cui Mingli's knowledge, and seeing Cui Mingli being imprisoned and died in vain for no reason, he was angry and came out to offer incense.

Then. Other readers were infected and also came out to offer incense. As the scholars came out, other people, including peddlers and pawns, also came out to offer incense. Although there was an endless stream of people coming out, the entire night festival venue was orderly, and the people were silent, and the most was to wipe their tears.

The weather was suddenly cold that night, and it was already late autumn. When it was time to go on the last shift, Han Jian felt that his face was cold and cold, as if it was snowing.

And with it. Little by little, the snowflakes are falling. Then the snow fell heavier and heavier. This was the first snow after the autumn of the year, and although the weather was very cold, it did not stop the enthusiasm of the people to come forward and offer incense, even some women and children. Under the infection of this environment. He also came out and stepped forward to offer incense.

Seeing so many people come out to offer incense. Gu Weipan couldn't help himself, he was glad that so many people actually remembered the emperor's kindness, and he was also disappointed in his heart. Even ordinary people have a minimum conscience, but none of those colleagues who once boasted of being loyal to the monarch and serving the country in the court came out to fight side by side with him.

The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and under the light of the torches, the snow was heavy. Suddenly, the door of the yamen of the criminal department opened, and everyone present at the time fell on the door of the yamen of the criminal department.

Several officials on duty in the Criminal Department came out of it and were looked at by so many people, and they also had a bit of avoidance. Probably because he felt that he was already standing on the opposing position of ordinary people, he didn't dare to raise his head when he walked.

These officials walked out of the yamen of the Criminal Department, and without saying much, they went directly to Gu Weipan at the front of the altar, and saluted: "Chief Gu, today we are out to offer incense to the loyal ministers and righteous people. ”

Gu Weipan nodded slightly and said, "Please." ”

With shame on their faces, these officials took incense and lit it, and stepped forward to offer incense. After the incense was applied, they probably felt ashamed of the person who died in vain, and even knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

This move surprised Han Jian, originally he thought that these officials of the Criminal Department were tigers, and their skin would be thicker than the city wall, but at this time, the first batch of people who came out to worship the loyal ministers were still these people from the Criminal Department.

Han Jian couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic, these officials may not be high in terms of official quality, but as soon as they come out, it means that they will be jealous of those in power, and they also know that they will not only lose their official positions when they come out to incense, but may also go to prison or even follow in the footsteps of those ministers who died in vain. They were ready to sacrifice when they came out, and no one was demanding anything from them in such a situation.

After these officials put on incense, they did not leave, and then two more officials came out of the yamen of the criminal department, went to the front to put on incense, and also stood aside.

With these incumbent officials coming out to offer incense, the situation at the whole night festival scene was a little different, and some people were even ready to go into the yamen of the criminal department to see if there were any innocent people who were imprisoned, and they were ready to rescue them together. Seeing that the crowd was excited, it was a little difficult to contain. At this time, the crowd flashed a gap, and several official sedans came in, and the scene was quiet again.

These official sedan chairs, from the outside, know that they are sedan chairs for dignitaries. As the sedan chair landed, the sedan door opened, and several ministers walked out of it.

These ministers are all officials of the Ministry of Rites. After coming out, when he saw so many people at the scene, his face was also full of shame. Although they were not personally involved in the persecution of Zhongliang, they did not speak up when the persecution came, which in their view was also an irreparable sin.

Several officials stepped forward and offered incense in turn. After the incense was applied, before they could step aside, another minister came.

The ministers who came this time no longer just took the official sedan chair, some took the sedan chair, some just walked, and some even consciously wore linen and filial piety in the same attire as the people on the scene.

With the arrival of these officials, the number of onlookers also increased, and although most of them could not get closer, even if they came from afar to participate, they felt that they were responsible for the loyal servants and righteous men of the Wei Dynasty.

As the number of people increased, the night festival scene was still orderly, and no one made any noise and no one spoiled the atmosphere. When the officials arrived, they didn't say much, they all stepped forward to offer incense, and stood silently on both sides in turn, they also knew that there were people in power staring at the scene, and from the moment they came out, they decided to open the bow and not turn back. When they came, they didn't just go through the motions, and when they finished the incense, they didn't cover anything, and the other colleagues and ministers also knew who they were.

Han Jian didn't expect such a night festival to have such a good effect, the ministers who first appeared were just some officials from the Ministry of Rites or the Academy, but as time went on, more ministers came out, involving the three divisions and six departments of the DPRK and the Central Committee, which was like a court meeting, and almost all the civil officials in the capital attended this memorial.

It's just that Han Jian was a little disappointed that no one in the capital attended.

But even so, today's night festival can be regarded as a result. Han Jian wanted to see how Yang Yu was annoyed and angry when he knew that he was so unpopular after learning about today's situation.

When Yang Yu knew that he was unpopular, the first thing would be to speed up the pace of usurping power, and the strategy of buying people's hearts and minds to stabilize the overall situation would be broken. Han Jian knew that he had to enter the palace tonight to rescue the empress, and when Yang Yugou jumped over the wall in a hurry, he was afraid that it would be too late.

Han Jian looked around at the environment, and at this time he was no longer an eyesore at the night festival scene. At this time, what he had to do was to call a guard of the Dongwang Mansion who was about the same size and appearance as him to take his place, and he took the opportunity to leave the night festival scene in the crowd.

In order not to attract the attention of the stalkers, Han Jian deliberately stood in the shadows, and after switching identities with the stand-in, the stand-in immediately stood up, and it was only a matter of a moment.

After Han Jian entered the crowd, he walked through the flow of people, and when he got outside, he knew how many people had come to the night festival this time. He walked through the crowd for half an hour, and only after crossing two streets did he reach a sparsely populated place. Han Jian looked back at the crowd of black presses, which simply made Luoyang City to the point of being empty of thousands of people.

Han Jian turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly noticed that someone on the small buildings on both sides of the street seemed to be signaling to him. Han Jian approached the small building, and a person wearing a windbreaker and hood came out of the small building. Han Jian first raised his guard, and when he saw the person who was coming, he put his guard down. The people who came were Fa Yi and Yi Die.

"Master, why are you here?" When Han Jian saw Fa Yi, he was still a little surprised in his heart, after all, if he wanted to enter the palace, with Fa Yi's help, he would get twice the result with half the effort.

"I've seen Your Highness." Yi Die saluted.

Han Jian signaled Yi Die not to be polite, and Fa Yi said: "Seeing you come out, I thought you had something to do, so I came over to see you." ”

Han Jian was a little surprised: "If the apprentice is so careful, will he be noticed by the master?" ”

Yi Die smiled when he heard this, and Fa Ye explained: "We are in a high place, so we can see clearly. ”

After asking in detail, Han Jian learned that it was not that his stand-in plan was unsuccessful, but that Yi Die and Fa Ye had been on the roof of the small building opposite the yamen of the Criminal Department. Condescendingly, Fa Yi and Yi Die were trying to find a way to contact him and stared at him before they were discovered.

"Jian'er, where are you going?" Fa also asked.

Han Jian remembered the agreement with Ke Qu'er, and hurriedly said, "Master, I am about to enter the palace to rescue His Majesty." I don't know the master, can Miss Yi help? ”

Fa Yi said: "You just entered the palace like this? ”

Han Jian said: "I still have helpers. Master, Miss Yi, let's talk as we go. ”

Han Jian told Fa Yi and Yi Die in detail about his plan on the road, and Fa Ye learned that Han Jian was going to enter the palace with Ke Qu'er and the two to save people, and sighed: "The palace is heavily guarded, and I and Yi Buku's envoy have entered the palace twice to investigate, but they have returned in vain. I'm afraid it won't come of it this time. ”

Han Jian didn't say much, he wouldn't do anything he gave up without starting. Now with the help of Ke Qu'er, Fa Yi and Yi Die, why does he have to go to the palace. With the martial arts of several of them, coupled with Yi Die and Fa Ye's familiarity with the palace's bright and dark whistles, even if they can't save people, it is not difficult to return the whole body.

When I arrived at the place where I met Ke Qu'er, Ke Qu'er was not there. Han Jian thought to himself, could it be that Ke Qu'er missed the appointment?

Just when Han Jian was about to leave with a little anger, Ke Qu'er was late. When Ke Qu'er saw Fa Yi and Yi Die, she was obviously a little hostile, stepped forward and pulled Han Jian's sleeve, as if she wanted Han Jian to speak aside.

"What's the matter?" Han Jian asked.

"I ...... My master is here. Ke Qu'er bit her lower lip and said. (To be continued......)
