king of the dead

Shang Ying was very busy, came out of Jiagui Palace, and immediately went out of the palace to Wen Taishi's Mansion.

There was silence in the Grand Master's Mansion, and everyone from top to bottom showed no sadness or joy on their faces. Looking carefully, it seemed that two words could be read from every look - righteousness!

It is worthy of being a family of four generations of Zhongliang. In the face of life and death, even the servants can handle it so indifferently!To be honest, Shang Ying admired him very much.

He was led by the guards to the study of the old grand master. The old grand master was sitting at the desk at this time, and he didn't know what he was writing.

Seeing Shang Ying coming in, he raised his eyelids and glanced at him, saying, "Why, is it time?"

Shang Ying didn't care about his negligence and rudeness, walked up to Wen Taishi's case, put his right hand on his chest, bent one knee and bowed his head, following the most important etiquette of the Fengxin tribe.

Master Wen frowned and said nothing.

Shang Ying got up, without a hint of arrogance on his face, and with a humble and sincere attitude, he said: "I had the honor to read your writings a few years ago, and I deeply agree with many of your points of view. But why don't you understand? This world is basically The world of the common people should never be the world of the emperor's family. What is the blood of the royal family? Is there really a person who should be noble? You and all the ministers are celebrities who care about the country and the people. How can you abandon the people because of your own selfish thoughts? Regardless? You must understand in your heart that the disappearance of the Great Ling is not the fault of the people, so what is wrong with them? Are you and your ministers really going to die for the setting sun? Our Fengxin tribe has always With military commanders, you can guarantee the safety and security of the people everywhere, but you still have to rely on you for governing the country! On behalf of the people of the world, I beg you, let go of the small righteousness in your heart, why don't you bow yourselves to the great righteousness of the world."

Shang Ying's words were so sincere that Taishi Wen stopped writing, and there was a slight sorrow on his brows, not sure if it was because of Da Ling or the common people.

"Why do you think that you can do better than my emperor and the first emperor?" A drop of ink from Taishi Wen's pen accidentally dripped onto the paper, staining a large area of ​​ink, and this sheet is now useless.

Shang Ying smiled lightly, and said: "Whether I do well or not, someone will judge. If I am incompetent, there will be righteous people who will kill me and replace me, just like Da Ling today."

······

After leaving the Grand Master's Mansion, the attendant asked: "Does Your Majesty want to go back to the palace?"

"No." Shang Ying said, "Go to Li Shangshu's residence, Liu Zi's government residence, Xu Shilang's residence..."

The remaining 38 old ministers will go from house to house in this way.

Yan Gen was released in the afternoon and was assigned as a servant in Jiagui Palace. From then on, he personally served the old emperor Dou Tinggui.

Last night, 43 people, all of whom were released by Shang Ying with the rhetoric of "remembering his loyalty and filial piety", and none of them died.

After this narrow escape, everyone felt complicated and unspeakable, and they all left in silence.

When Yan Gen went to Jiagui Palace to apply for his job, it was already evening and the sky was getting dark.

He lit every candlestick, and the whole Jiagui Palace was suddenly bright. After walking a few steps inside, he saw the person lying on his side on the bed.

Yan Gen stepped forward heavily, knelt down on the ground, deeply touched the floor tiles with his head, choked up for a while but didn't say a word.

"Let's go." Dou Tinggui seemed to know it was him, and only waved his hand lightly, then lowered his arms and lay quietly on his side.

Before midnight, Shang Ying stepped on the snow and came in boldly. She was so shocked that Yan Gen couldn't hide the suspicious look on her face.

However, I saw him go straight to Dou Tinggui's bed and stand still. After thinking for a while, he climbed up the bed and lay down with his clothes on.

"Are you in good health? Have you seen a doctor?"

There was strange concern in Shang Ying's words, one hand was raised and landed on the hip bone under the waist of the person on the bed, the movement was really ambiguous and bizarre.

Yan Gen held the candle in doubt, and the dim light of the candle cast a shadow that swayed slightly on the bed curtain.

Shang Ying seemed to wake up suddenly, turned to look at Yan Gen, and said in surprise: "Why are you still here? Go to sleep yourself. I will take care of Emperor Ling."

For some reason, Yan Gen was shuddered by the word "serving" in his mouth. He held the candlestick tightly with his hand, as if he wanted to crush it. He was silent for a while, and finally turned and left without saying a word. up.
