Shi Jinyan hurriedly said: "How can I blame you, I can only say that Yan Qi is too despicable." However, this matter is indeed a tricky problem, and once the talisman also falls into the hands of the harem, this matter is indeed difficult to do. ”

"We have to be fully prepared now, which is why I asked Jiang Susu to find Yan Ze's whereabouts immediately." Sima Hongyan said solemnly: "Yan Hong is not stupid, he will definitely take precautions." And we'd better find Yan Ze while the overall situation is uncertain now. The rest will depend on our luck! ”

Shi Jinyan said: "If I were him, the best hiding place now would be in the harem." ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Jin Yan, can you find a time to go to the palace, I want to meet Yan Hong, tell him what we just said, and let him be more careful." ”

Shi Jinyan asked curiously: "You have a lot of friendship with him, why don't you go and talk to him in person?" ”

Sima Hongyan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid the last person he wants to see now is me!" ”

Everyone was puzzled by Sima Hongyan's words, but seeing that she didn't mean to explain, she didn't ask any more.

Everyone discussed for most of the day, until Tingying, the big-sleeved master, came to report that a fire platform had been set up outside the camp, and the bodies of the sisters had been placed.

Sima Hongyan took everyone out of the camp, and in the open space not far behind the camp, dozens of fire platforms were neatly stacked, and a sacrificed female soldier slept peacefully on each platform. There was a tallest fire platform in the middle, where Liu Chun'er's body was placed, and everyone scrubbed Liu Chun'er again, put on her favorite dress, and painted her with light makeup.

Not only Liu Chun'er, but all the female soldiers are like this, it seems that they are really alive, like beautiful water lilies, quietly falling asleep.

Sima Hongyan involuntarily slowed down his pace, and his movements became gentle, lest he wake up these sleeping beauties.

Walking to the highest stage in the middle, Sima Hongyan looked at Liu Chun'er's still delicate face, raised his right hand in front of his chest, and solemnly saluted a military salute. All the female soldiers behind him made the same action at the same time, using military salutes to express their inner nostalgia.

Everyone was very quiet, no one shed tears at this time, their faces were extremely solemn, and their hearts were full of supreme respect for the deceased.

Sima Hongyan raised the torch inserted next to him, ruthlessly, and set fire to the wooden frame under Liu Chun'er.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and Sima Hongyan walked back to everyone with a heavy face, watching the flames that gradually picked up slowly, slowly began to devour Liu Chun'er's body.

These cremation wooden platforms are connected to each other with wood, as soon as the middle fire platform burns, the flames begin to spread along these connected woods to other fire platforms, and after a while, dozens of fire platforms are ignited, and the flames that rush to the sky are mixed with crackling sounds to emit layers of heat waves, wave after wave to the surrounding female army.

In the firelight, the faces of Sima Hongyan and the others were all red, and they stood there quietly watching the people in the fire gradually disappear, always motionless.

No one spoke, no one cried, they felt that the souls of these sisters had been sent to the sky by those skyrocketing flames, turning into stars. As long as it was night, they would wink at those who were alive and missed them.

When the last glimmer of fire was extinguished, Sima Hongyan turned to leave, and before leaving, he instructed the female soldiers to put away the ashes so that they could be handed over to their families in the future.

The efficiency of the female soldiers was very fast, and at noon the next day, a large ancestral hall was built in a corner of the barracks, and the tablets of the sacrificed Liu Chun'er and the other seventy-eight female soldiers were also made and neatly enshrined in the mourning hall.

Sima Hongyan took everyone to take turns to offer incense and pay heavy tributes.

After the memorial, Sima Hongyan announced in public the new six-sleeved leader elected by the six teams, Mei Xihan! Officially succeeded Liu Chun'er.

The rest of the things were also properly arranged, the list, relics, etc. were also sorted out, and Sima Hongyan arranged for someone to send the ashes and relics to their families separately, and by the way, he also brought a part of the silver taels.

In the next few days, the women's army slowly resumed training, and everyone gradually came out of their injuries. It's just that Yan Ze's whereabouts have not been found in the past few days, which makes Sima Hongyan a little strange, but he didn't expect this guy to hide quite secretly, and he was able to hide from the search of the female army.

The palace was temporarily peaceful, and nothing special happened, until early in the morning, two forbidden soldiers came to the outside of the women's barracks and asked to see Sima Hongyan.

Sima Hongyan came out to meet, and it turned out that the two forbidden soldiers invited Sima Hongyan to enter the palace early tomorrow morning to discuss matters. Sima Hongyan asked what was being discussed, but the two forbidden soldiers didn't even know.

Sima Hongyan discussed with a few sisters, it seems that the palace should have a new plan for the throne, but after so many days, he didn't hear the news of Emperor Yanzhen, Sima Hongyan couldn't figure out what was going on.

Shi Jinyan guessed that the new emperor was uncertain, and the palace did not dare to release the news of Emperor Yanzhen's death, for fear that someone would take the opportunity to cause another incident.

Early the next morning, Sima Hongyan was dressed neatly, and after thinking about it again, she also secretly hid the phoenix evil sword and her telescopic stick on her body, she said that she couldn't tell what would happen to the court today, and she must be prepared and make complete preparations.

Shi Jinyan was not at ease, and Ban Lingruo brought two hundred female soldiers to put on makeup and guard outside the imperial city, so that if something happened, they would respond in time.

With apprehension, Sima Hongyan entered the palace and looked at the burned hall from a distance.

Entering the main hall, Sima Hongyan's mood was extremely complicated, there were too many things happening in this palace these days, and at this time, the solemn feeling was restored again, which made Sima Hongyan feel like a different world.

There were already many ministers in the hall, and when they saw Sima Hongyan coming in, they all unexpectedly quieted down, staring at Sima Hongyan intently.

When Sima Hongyan came closer, suddenly the nearest adult looked at Sima Hongyan deeply, and said: "Thank you Miss Sima for sacrificing your life to save her that day, this official has thanked you here!" ”

Before Sima Hongyan could react, many adults immediately came over to salute Sima Hongyan, all of them thanking Sima Hongyan for saving him.

In the past, these ministers were opposed to Sima Hongyan everywhere, and they were critical in every way, and they all looked down on this woman who violated female morality and became an official in the court. But after that day's tragic battle, they saw with their own eyes that in order to protect these ministers, Sima Hongyan led hundreds of female soldiers and tens of millions of officers and soldiers to fight bloody battles, and many girls fell in front of their eyes.

From that moment on, they found that compared with these women, they were simply ashamed of themselves, and they usually talked vainly about protecting their families and defending the country, but when it was time to move seriously, they rushed forward without hesitation, but these women they looked down on.

Although Sima Hongyan is a daughter, she is loyal and brave to the country, and even the bearded man is beyond her reach. Sima Hongyan proved herself with facts, and the officials had to obey.

Not to mention that Yanling suffered two mutinies in a row, all of which relied on Sima Hongyan's bravery and resourcefulness to turn the crisis into safety, who can compare with her with this courage and ability?

The abnormal attitude of the ministers made Sima Hongyan not react for a while, and she returned the salute again and again, and she was a little embarrassed. Being surrounded by so many ministers with long beards and shouting like "benefactor, benefactor" is really uncomfortable.

Not only the ministers who were already in the palace were like this, but even the later ministers came up to salute and thank her as soon as they saw Sima Hongyan, Sima Hongyan began to regret coming so early, knowing that there would be such an embarrassing scene, it was better to come back later.

In the end, Xiangguo Li Mingzhong arrived, but he didn't thank him directly like everyone else, but nodded slightly when he saw Sima Hongyan. followed the general Liao Ziling also came, because he was seriously injured in the leg, he was carried in by the forbidden army while sitting on the sedan chair, and he smiled kindly when he saw Sima Hongyan.

Wen Dong and Wu Xi stood still, Sima Hongyan looked at the dragon chair on the grade platform, and secretly thought who would be the person who would come out of the harem in a while, and who would sit on the dragon chair today.

After waiting for a while, there was no eunuch calling for class, only hearing a sound of footsteps, and several people came out of the back of the hall, and the first one was the queen mother. She was followed by two people, one was Yan Hong, the Nine Emperor Prince, and the other made Sima Hongyan's face suddenly cold, it was none other than Yan Ze, who had not heard from him for many days.

Behind the two princes are the queen and several concubines, and the important people in the harem basically appear in the main hall.

The officials don't know why, I don't know what it means for so many harem women to appear in this hall at the same time.

Sima Hongyan suddenly asked an officer beside him, "Does the general know who summoned us to the palace today?" ”

The military attache thought for a moment and said, "It was the forbidden army who came to my house yesterday to inform you, and as for who summoned us, I really don't know." ”

Sima Hongyan's eyes narrowed slightly when she heard this, and she secretly felt that today was not a good day.

No matter how noble the Queen Mother was, she didn't dare to sit on the dragon chair, and several eunuchs brought up a phoenix chair and placed it next to the dragon chair, and the Queen Mother slowly sat down. Yan Ze and Yan Hong stood respectfully behind the Queen Mother, while the queen's women stood at the back.

Sima Hongyan saw that Yan Hong was wearing a robe, his left sleeve was a little empty at his side, and he stood there with a cold face without squinting.

Sima Hongyan couldn't guess what had happened in the past few days, Yan Hong was able to stand with Yan Ze and still be safe, it was incredible. Yan Hong has always been jealous and hateful, not to mention Yan Ze, who ordered someone to cut off his arm, according to his character, he should kill Yan Ze with a sword.

Not only Sima Hongyan was puzzled, but the Manchu Dynasty was also puzzled.

The Queen Mother spoke at this time, she coughed lightly twice and said loudly: "Your Excellency has suffered a lot these days, the mourning family has heard about it, Yanling is fortunate to have your support to calm the civil strife, and the mourning family is very pleased." ”

The ministers bowed together and said, "Wait for the Empress Dowager to understand!" ”

Sima Hongyan secretly said to himself: Saying such two sentences of nonsense that doesn't hurt or itch will pass by the matter of coercing the minister and killing Zhongliang, what kind of thing?

The Queen Mother continued: "Today, I have convened you to discuss the affairs in the palace, and there are several things for the mourning family to discuss with you. Last night, the emperor died! ”

The ministers were shocked and in an uproar, and they all knelt down immediately, and many loyal ministers even cried.

The queen mother also wiped her tears in a fake way, and the women in the queen cried even more. For a while, there was a loud cry and chaos in the majestic hall.
