Zhang Min and the others abandoned the ship and landed on the shore, and at this time they had already headed towards Jiankang City. On the way, Zhang Min said: "We are ordered by the prince of Yan to come to Jiankang to face the saint, one is to thank King Yan, and the other is to visit the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River." Murong Rongyue said: "After entering the city today, I will first find a place to settle down, and tomorrow I will go to the palace of the Ministry of Rites to pay homage to the name and wait for the Holy Lord to announce the will." Sima Yunyi said with concern: "Let's accompany you into the palace together." Zhang Min said bluntly: "We are grass people, and we have no merit and fame, how can we enter the palace?" Murong Rongyue pouted his lips, looked at him and said, "What, you don't want to accompany me?" Zhang Min hurriedly said: "I am naturally willing, but that palace, how can anyone enter?" Murong Rongyue smiled: "Then what's the matter? According to my mind, in this world, Brother Zhang Min can go anywhere." After saying that, he suddenly felt too straightforward, and he couldn't help but lower his head. Liu Beili said: "Since we have arrived in Jiankang City, wouldn't it be a waste to buy pearls and return the coffin if we don't go to the palace?" Murong Rongyue raised her eyebrows and said: "Exactly, tomorrow when the Holy Lord is summoned, let's enter the palace together." The people said that they had arrived at the foot of Jiankang City.

In the past dynasties, the regimes in the south of the Yangtze River have all taken Jiankang as their capital. This place controls Jingxiang and brings five lakes, back to the mountains and waters, the tiger is standing in the dragon pan, since the end of the Han Dynasty, the father and son of the Eastern Wu Sun family established as the land of Gyeonggi, since then the king is prosperous. After the rebellion of the eight kings in the first year of Emperor Yongjia of the Jin Dynasty, Emperor Sima Rui of the Yuan Dynasty listened to the advice of Wang Dao to move the town of Jiankang, and the later legend was located in the Ming Emperor Sima Shao, and the Shao Chuan was located in the Cheng Emperor Sima Yan, and there were five years in the twenty years.

At this moment, in the Jiankang Imperial City, the Chengping Hall is brightly lit, and there is a dead silence in the Nuo Palace, and occasionally one or two coughs sound, which makes the hall more and more quiet and gloomy. A gust of wind blew, and the two rows of candles on the pillars in the hall kept flickering, almost extinguished, and dimmed and brightened. Suddenly, the cough started again, and the cough did not stop, accompanied by the sound of vomiting, and it gradually stopped after a while, and then an old voice said: "Lord Huan and the others are still waiting outside the hall, do you want to announce them to come in?" The cough started again, intermittently, and after a while, he said weakly: "No...... No...... No, let him wait...... Wait. The old man said, "Yes." "No more talking. The hall fell silent again.

On the verandah outside the hall, several people in gorgeous costumes bowed and stood facing the Chengping Palace, the first person looked like a torch, majestic and heroic, looked at the hall from time to time and sighed lightly, and everyone behind him hung their heads and held their breath, not daring to move.

Half a moment later, one of the people in fancy clothes, Nuo Nuo, said: "The night is dark, the cold is invading the clothes, adults might as well go home." The leader shook his head slightly, and said, "At this moment, everyone in the world can not be there, but I must be there." The man in gorgeous clothes said: "How can you be so respectful of the body of an adult's daughter, if you occasionally feel the wind and cold, won't it make the government and the opposition shake?" The man at the head laughed and said: "Nonsense, I am just a person who leads soldiers, how can I have great ability." Needless to say, it's a good wait. Everyone said, "Yes." ”

The cough in the Chengping Hall started again, and then fell into endless silence again. After a while, there was a sound of bangbang in the distance, which turned out to be the sound of a watch, and it was already ugly. The cough said weakly: "Yue...... Why hasn't Brother Yue arrived yet?" the old man replied, "King Langya is still on his way. Cough said, "I still need ...... When?" replied in an old voice, "when there are three days." He sighed softly, "Alas, I don't know...... You can still see ...... Do you see each other?" the old voice was silent for a moment, and said: "The Holy Lord is blessed by the sky, and he has the blessing of the heavens. Don't be too pessimistic, it's important to be relieved. ”

On the verandah outside the hall, the leader said: "The two sons of the saint are in infancy, so they want to pass on the same brother, Sima Yue, the king of Langya, and order Sima Xi, the king of Wuling, Sima Yu, the king of Huiji, Yu Bing, the supervisor of the Zhongshu, He Chong, and Zhuge Hui of the Shangshu to accept the edict to assist Sima Yue. Brother to brother and brother since ancient times, there is nothing wrong with this matter. However, the Holy Lord's order for Yu Bing, He Chong, and Zhuge Hui to be the three traitorous ministers and auxiliary ministers was obviously deceived by the gangsters. As a minister, I should uphold the government and denounce treachery. The Holy One did not call me to wait for the audience, so we waited forever. Everyone behind him said: "The general is loyal to protect the country, and he is really the pillar of the imperial court, and we will swear to follow him." One of them stepped forward and said, "It's half of the night, do you want to use some tea first?" The man at the head nodded lightly, turned around and walked towards a pavilion three feet away from the verandah. There was already a table and a large chair in the pavilion, and around it stood four servants, one with a teapot in his hand, one with a tea set, another with a crisp box, and the last with a satin cloak in his hand. When the four of them saw the general coming, they hurriedly poured a cup of strong tea, and as soon as he sat down, they put their cloak on him. The general took a sip of tea, wrapped his cloak around his body, and said to the people on the verandah: "If the saint is not summoned for a moment, we will not leave for a moment, and if we are not summoned for three days, we will stand for three days." until the decree is proclaimed. Everyone bowed and said, "Obey the general's orders." ”

The night is urging the change, the dust is cleared, and it is already dawn. A rising sun in the east illuminates the golden imperial capital. The coughing sound in the Chengping Hall rang all night, and only then did it stop, only to hear the old man's voice: "They waited outside the hall all night last night, and this is the seventh day." Coughing sneered, and said weakly: "He...... They are willing to wait...... Just wait. I didn't believe it, I didn't ...... Without him, the world would have overturned?" The old man said: "The old slave has a saying, I don't know if I should say it?" coughed and said: "Although you and I are ...... Although I am a prince and a minister, I really have the love of teachers and students, and I have been with it since I was a child...... Learn the way of Confucius and Mencius with you, and benefit from it for more than ten years...... Lot. You have...... If you have anything to say, just say it. The old man sighed lightly and said: "The saint treats the old slave very much, but the old slave has no way to teach His Majesty the art of prolonging life, and he is really ashamed of the word emperor." The old slave wanted to say this sentence has been pressed in his heart for many years, and if he doesn't say it now, I'm afraid that he won't have a chance. Cough said, "Alas, you are ...... What's the pain? I am ...... The day is not a holiday, and you are ...... Although he is rare, he is physically healthy, mentally strong, and ...... Why bother to be buried for me? The old man smiled lightly and said, "The old slave was born as a minister of His Majesty, and died as a ghost of His Majesty." This heart is strong and heals the rock, and there is no regret in death. Cough said, "Okay...... Good...... Good...... Whatever you want to say, just say it. The old man was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Is the incident in Qinxinhu true back then?" However, now that His Majesty and the old slave have run out of oil, and their lives are on the horizon, the old slave just wants to know the truth of that incident before he dies, that is, to follow His Majesty, and he can also look at the nine springs. After a long time, he sighed and said with a smile: "No one will know...... Got the truth. A lot of things, just ...... Only God knows, I ...... I don't want to overturn the case, and it's too late to overturn the case. ”
