Under the rising sun, Feng Yan covered Xipa, supported by her mother and Xiao Qi, and slowly walked out of the mansion where she had lived for 20 years in the sound of firecrackers.

Mrs. Feng also dressed up and came to see Feng Yan marry in person.

The Feng Mansion has always been quiet, and the daughters of the Feng family not only did not invite foreign guests when they got married for the first time, but even the brothers and branches had to avoid each other, so such a lively scene was rare in the Feng Mansion.

This lively fireworks and firecrackers make the courtyard even more lonely and empty.

Feng Xiaoqi was originally very happy, but from the beginning of helping Feng Yan out of the hospital, the Li family held her daughter's hand, and kept carefully telling her how to live after arriving at the Wei Mansion, and shed tears as she spoke, this scene also made Feng Xiaoqi's heart swell with reluctance for a while, and then wiped his eyes.

On the contrary, Feng Yan held the hands of her mother and sister, and kept comforting her.

Everyone walked out of the south gate together, and seeing that the sedan chair was in front of them, Feng Yan suddenly hesitated.

Although she was covered with a hippa, her head turned to one side, as if she saw something.

"Sister?" Feng Xiaoqi also looked in the direction of Feng Yan's gaze, where there were many family members from the Wei Mansion who had come to greet their relatives, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Feng Yan didn't answer, and in a very short period of time, a sudden malice rushed over like a turbulent stream, but at this moment it disappeared without a trace, like a drop of water melting in the water.

"It's okay, don't worry." Feng Yan quickly returned to her previous posture and slowly walked down the steps with the support of her mother and sister.

"Ah Yan." Before entering the wedding sedan chair, Old Madam Feng suddenly called.

Feng Yan stopped and turned sideways in accordance with the voice, "What else does my aunt command?" ”

Old Madam Feng's eyes were slightly red, and she stepped forward and gently held Feng Yan's hand. Feng Yan only felt that the ground in her hand was suddenly cool—the old lady quietly stuffed something into her hand.

"In the past few years, don't grieve yourself." Old Madam Feng's voice trembled slightly, "As long as Ah Yan is happy, she can come." Even if you really turn the Wei Mansion upside down, your aunt can still call the shots for Ah Yan, and no one can bully you. ”

Feng Yan laughed suddenly, "Why does my aunt say the same thing as my mother...... I am marrying into my husband's family, not marrying into an enemy family, didn't you also say in the past, that Lord Wei is virtuous and reliable? ”

Old Madam Feng also laughed and patted the back of Feng Yan's hand gently, "Yes, he ...... I should be able to treat Ah Yan well. ”

Li Shi looked at this scene and cried breathlessly on the side.

The family on the side looked at the sky and stepped forward and said, "Old lady, auspicious time does not wait for anyone, you see ...... now"

The old lady didn't squint, "The Feng Mansion of Wei Mansion is just a cup of tea, and it will be a moment and a half, and there will be no delay." ”

The family smiled and stepped aside a little smugly.

The old lady raised her sleeve and wiped the corners of her eyes, held Feng Yan's hand, and whispered, "Okay, okay, there is always going to be this one...... After all, you have to live your own life to know what it's like. ”

Feng Yan nodded and withdrew her hand from her sleeve. She gave a gentle blessing in the direction of her parents and sister, and then entered the wedding sedan chair, and as soon as the wedding curtain was released, the music of gongs and drums sounded.

After sitting down in the sedan chair, Feng Yan lowered her head and took a closer look—it turned out that the thing handed by Aunt Fang Cai was a piece of rugged jade.

It has a crystalline texture, but it is clearly unpolished.

Somehow, Feng Yan remembered the feeling when she went out just now, and a wave of ominousness suddenly surged in her heart.

……

Outside the Taichu Palace, the confrontation between the elderly empress and the ministers is still deadlocked.

What everyone didn't expect was that Sun Youwei changed his domineering attitude in the past, and gave unimaginable patience, so that every old minister with a heart of persuasion could speak freely in front of the emperor.

The empress stood still in the morning light, majestic and solemn, until the last counselor finished speaking, her eyes swept over the people in front of her, "Is there anyone else who has anything to say?" ”

The retainers were silent.

"Then there is none." Sun Youwei looked at Wei Xingzhen to the side, "Wei Aiqing, after you heard this, don't you have anything to argue?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's useless to say more, what the minister wants to say has been written in the previous recital, and Feng Ge has already made the full text public," Wei Xingzhen's voice was calm, "Right or wrong, we will see after noon today, why should the minister have a dispute with these adults here—not to mention that Xue Taiwei and Wu Sikong have always been the ministers of the humerus whom I respect very much." ”

"Phew." Xue Taiwei took a sip, "I, Xue Anshan, have never been ashamed to be in the company of slanderers like you!" ”

The courtiers who knelt down suddenly started to talk, and several old ministers also looked at Wei Xingzhen with a little contempt - but Wei Xingzhen was unmoved.

His young, pale face looked neither annoyed nor timid, and the sunlight shone from the east, reflecting the expressionless Wei Xingzhen on one side and dim on the other. This scene actually made several old ministers invariably a little panicked, but they gritted their teeth and glared angrily at Wei Xingzhen.

The empress looked at Wei Xingzhen again, "Do you know what will happen to you if there is still a shadow of the sun on the measuring platform at noon today?" ”

"No matter what Your Majesty decides, the minister will die to thank the world."

Taiwei Xue sneered, "Can your life alone withstand my Great Zhou's national fortune!?" ”

Before the words fell, Sun Youwei looked at the captain, "But I don't know if Xue Aiqing also has such an awareness?" ”

Taiwei Xue frowned, "The minister is stupid and doesn't understand what the Holy Lord means by this. ”

"Since I ascended the throne, I have opened trade routes to the outside world, stopped fighting and defended the borders, and suppressed evil spirits and protected the people internally...... However, in the past ten years, there have been demon monks from the south who have said that my Great Zhou is not the center of the world, and the middle of the world is far away in Tianzhu, and my Great Zhou is really a border land. What's more, bluntly said that my Great Zhou can't call itself Da Zhou, but can only call himself Eastern Zhou. ”

The empress paused slightly, "Do you know why?" ”

Xue Taiwei bowed slightly, "...... However, I have heard some rumors that at noon on the day of the summer solstice in Tianzhu, the sundial is gone. ”

"Yes, only when the sun is hanging over it, there is no shadow on the ground, this is the truth that the yellow-haired child also knows." The empress threw a faint glance at Xue Taiwei's side, "I have been reading the actual records of the world's imaging on the rooftop of the Command Division, but there is no record of 'no shadow on the summer solstice', and I have been waiting for an answer for the past few years. ”

"This answer, Captain Xue, can you give it to me."

Xue Taiwei calmly looked at the emperor in front of him, and arched his hand, "The so-called 'Tianzhu has no shadow' is just a myth from the monks of Fanbang to confuse the public, and the minister thinks that His Majesty does not need to pay attention to it at all——"

Sun Youwei snorted lightly and directly interrupted Taiwei Xue's words.

"I have been taught since I was a child that Emperor Star Ziwei lives in the sky, and the Son of Heaven governs the people on behalf of the heavens, and he should also choose to live on the earth, so that he can be commanded by the heavens and the heavens and people. Now that I have lost even the Middle Land, what face do I have to call myself the Son of Heaven? ”

The ministers all bowed to the ground for a while, holding their breath, "Ministers...... The ministers were terrified. ”

"Look up and look at me."

The empress's voice echoed above the palace walls.

"At noon today, there is still a shadow of the sun on the Daizong Mountain Observatory, Wei Xingzhen is willing to die, Taiwei Xue, I ask you, if there is really a shadow of Luodu at noon, do you dare to be like Wei Aiqing, willing to die?"
