In the short three words, Zhou Ge Lao seemed to have exhausted his life's strength, and for a long time, the silent hall echoed with the word death.

It was obvious that the expression on the saint's face changed again and again, and finally his eyes narrowed slightly, and he shrank the anger in his eyes, and still said in a calm tone: "The elder is tired and needs to rest, so someone will escort the elder back to the house." ”

"Holy. Zhou Zhengzhong stretched out his hands and took a step forward, his words were earnest, with tears in his eyes, and said: "This matter is related to the hundred years of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the country and the society are in the country, and the ministers cannot retreat." ”

"The grassland can't help but take Ye Shangshu as the commander, and the imperial city can't leave the commander, Your Majesty!"

"The grassland has won one after another, and the pavilion is always confused. The saint's voice raised a few points, and the hands propped up on the table were full of muscles.

"It's all well now, but I'm afraid it will change sooner or later. I don't know if it is because the illness has not healed and the body is exhausted, Zhou Zhengzhong spoke a little slower, but his tone was more solemn.

He took another half step forward and said: "Now that the king's landing is full of thieves, the emperor will also strand his troops in Taiqing Mountain, it is meaningless, and he can't continue to work and waste money in the palace of the Son of Heaven." ”

Above the entire hall, the atmosphere was strange and terrifying.

Obviously full of courtiers, but only listened to the voices of the elder and the emperor, and the rest of the people didn't dare to say more than half a sentence, and even suppressed the sound of breathing.

At this moment, as long as anyone can see that the Holy Lord is already angry, but he has been restraining himself, but what they can all see, how can Zhou Ge Lao not see it.

Therefore, at this juncture, they can only be neutral, and it is best to keep silent.

Everyone hung their heads slightly, their hands in front of them, their eyes fixed on their toes, and they pricked up their ears to listen to the conversation.

For the truth or words that Zhou Ge said, they can probably understand and agree with half of them, and the others generally do not agree so much.

For example, now that the grassland has won one victory after another, I don't feel that there is any problem with Lord Shangshu Ye of the military department as the general and commander as the commander.

For another example, the military officials standing on the left-hand side felt that what Zhou Ge Lao said about making Lord Ye handsome was very much agreed.

But in the matter of Taiqingshan, I felt that the elder pavilion had made a big fuss.

Even if those soldiers are left there, at the critical moment, it is tantamount to a strange army, blooming in the rear of the anti-thief hinterland, and maybe it can play an unexpected role.

Everyone had their own thoughts, but in the next moment, they heard His Majesty sitting on the dragon chair shouting loudly: "I said that the old man is tired, help him go back to rest, don't you hear, Qi Xian!"

"The minister is here. Before leaving, Wu Song, the chief administrator of the Great Interior, changed the palm print and the eunuch Qi was sitting around the emperor, and at this moment he stepped forward and bowed down.

"Escort the Pavilion Elder back to his house. ”

"If the saint does not withdraw the order for a day, the minister will not retreat for a day. Zhou Ge Lao took another step forward, step by step, and it was not far from the emperor's gold case, and he was pressing forward step by step, which was quite aggressive.

"Elder Ge, presumptuous!" the emperor pushed the gold case with both palms and stood up.

"Today's court discussion, the minister knows that he is guilty, and he is solid for the country, but it is not a pity to die. He took another half step forward.

"Is the elder pavilion forcing me?" Standing in the hall, the emperor looked at Zhou Zhengzhong condescendingly and said in a deep voice.

"Don't dare. ”

"Don't dare?" the emperor snorted coldly, waved his sleeves and turned around and walked towards the inner hall and said, "Retreat!"

"Your Majesty. Zhou Ge Lao said a word, knelt on the ground directly, looked at the back standing in front of the inner hall, shook his head, and slammed his head on the hall.

This kneeling, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty seemed to have received a heavy hammer with a bang in their hearts. This kneeling dissipated the last bit of Qi of Da Wei.

"In the next three days, if you don't go to the morning court, the old man will do it himself. ”

From beginning to end, the emperor didn't look back, only stopped at the moment when Zhou Ge Lao knelt down, dropped this sentence, and walked into the inner hall.

The eunuch Qi Xian stood at the door of the inner hall, looking at the court with a cold expression, looking at the pavilion elder who was still kneeling in front of the hall, and did not have the slightest intention of stepping forward to help the pavilion elder leave.

In the entire hall, there was no movement for a long time.

A heart is getting colder and colder, the whole body is getting colder and colder, Zhou Zhengzhong supported the ground, trembling his hands straightened up his waist, and sighed to the sky:

"The ministers are old, and there are ministers who can reach out and help them, but now that my Great Wei Mansion is about to fall, who will help it! Who will help it......

Sadness came from it, and I couldn't help but cry to a sad state, and all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty mourned silently.

Suddenly, Zhou Zhengzhong let out a violent cough from his mouth, and his body fell to the right softly.

"Your Excellency, Lord Ge. Everyone on both sides only woke up at this moment, shouted in their mouths, and walked forward in unison.

I don't know whose hand quietly probed under Zhou Ge's nose, and I don't know who held Lord Zhou's pulse.

The history books have not sorted out whether it is the Ministry of Rites or the Ministry of Officials at this moment, Lord Shangshu shouted: "Old Zhou Ge, I am angry." Even if you don't see it, you know it's going to be shocked or sluggish.

In the sixth year of the Great Wei Dynasty, it was a cold winter, and it was also winter for the entire Great Wei.

On this day, the Golden Palace passed away, and the fate of the monarchs and ministers of Emperor Wu of Wei came to an end.

When he died, all the officials mourned, and the snow on the long street of Qingping became a little thicker.

In the inner hall, after confirming the death of Zhou Ge Lao, Qi Xian quickly walked into the hall, saluted the emperor and said: "Qi Qi Sheng, Lord Zhou, he is seriously ill and difficult to recover, and he has died of anger in the palace. ”

Hanging his head slightly, Qi Xian couldn't see the emperor's face clearly at this time, but after being quiet for a while, he heard the saint say in a hoarse voice: "Ring the bell in the Ministry of Rites, play mourning music, and the old corpse of the pavilion enters Zhaoting Mountain, chasing the number, chasing the number......"

The emperor thought about this nickname for a long time before he said slowly: "Just call it 'Zhengzhong'." ”

Hearing this, Qi Xian raised his head in surprise, there has never been an example of a person in the past, and he still responded: "Yes." ”

Not to mention that Qi Xian didn't understand the meaning of the saint's move, even history didn't understand what Emperor Wei Wu meant by giving this dead minister such a nickname, there are different opinions.

Zhou Zhengzhong's official to the middle book before his death, was awarded the title of Taifu Taishi Shaobao, regardless of the official position and title are extremely popular ministers, after his death, the palace sounded the death knell, rang the bell twelve times, announcing the death of a pillar of the imperial court.

The mourning and ceremonial guard surrounded the main street of the imperial city for a day, and the people, regardless of the women's yellow hair and drooping hair, all stood silently in front of the door.

Because Zhou Zhengzhong had no children and no daughters under his knees, and he died suddenly, he did not leave a suicide note, so the Ministry of Rites counted Zhou's mansion.

There are very few goods, silk and silk, but there are two large ox carts such as ancient books, classics, bamboo slips, etc., and both servants and maids are orphans adopted by Zhou Ge Lao.

He has handled so many important ministers of the imperial court, and the official eunuch's house is still standing in front of the Zhou Mansion at this time, looking back at the plaque on his head, his face is full of solemnity, he bows deeply and says softly:

"You have been a cow and horse for the people of Dawei all your life, and you have worked hard. ”
