Chapter 63 Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains bury the bones of loyalty

In the court, no matter how good your popularity is, it is impossible to have no enemies at all, no matter how great the credit you make, there will be red-eyed villains in the dark who will put cold arrows on you.

But on this day, all the officials in the entire capital court, whether they respect Ye Sheng, or hate Ye Sheng, or the civil officials who have slowly emerged over the years and want to suppress the generals, on this day, one by one, came to Chen Guogong's mansion to bid farewell to Ye Guogong.

No love or hatred.

Ye Sheng has made a great contribution to this country, and now that he is gone, as long as he is still a Jin person, he should come to see him off.

Among the people who sent them off, there were Ji Ping, the current Zuodu Governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and General Pei Jin, who was reappointed as the general of the forbidden army, and Hou Jingde, the loyal and brave marquis......

Basically, as long as there are people with heads and faces in the Great Jin military, they all rushed to Chen Guogong's mansion and kowtowed to the old man to say goodbye.

Among them, the eldest man, Hou Jingde, kowtowed a few times, and then walked next to Ye Luan, his dark face full of shame.

"Brother Ye, Hou has been busy in the forbidden army recently, I don't know that my husband is not in good health, and I haven't been able to see my husband for the last time, these days, Hou is also helping out in the Ye family, if you have anything to contribute, just ask."

Ye Lan, Hou Jingde and Li Xin, these three people, were the backbone of the original "Renchen Palace Change", and they were also the three generals of Yu Linwei, who were called the three marquis of Renchen a few years ago, and it stands to reason that the three of them should be brothers-like friendship, Ye Sheng is seriously ill until now, but Hou Jingde doesn't know it, and it does hurt the brotherhood of the year.

You must know that until now, the three of them are still regarded as the "Yulin Wei family" by those civil servants in the court.

Ye Lan has eased up a lot at this time, he bowed his head and returned the salute, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Hou is polite, Brother Hou can come, the Ye family is very grateful." ”

Hou Jingde sighed and slowly exited the mourning hall.

After the military people kowtowed, the ministers of the Great Jin Dynasty entered the mourning hall in turn to kowtow to Ye Guogong, led by Chen Fang, the right servant who had been Zhang Qu's deputy for many years.

After Zhang Qu resigned, the Zai Fu, who had been a deputy in Shangshutai for many years, finally turned positive, and now he is in charge of Shangshutai with the former Zhongshu Ling Ram Shu, and Zhang Qu's vacant vacancy was promoted by Taikang Tianzi Zhao Yuanli, the former waiter of the Ministry of Rites, to fill the gap.

In addition to the promotion of Zai Fu this time, Huan Chu resigned a few years ago, and it was also the Son of Heaven who promoted Shangshu Zuo Cheng Chen Ying to make up for it, that is to say, at least two of the five Zai Fu in the three provinces were personally promoted by the Son of Taikang, plus the Son of Heaven has been in power for eight years, and it is impossible that none of the other three Zai Fu has fallen to the Son of Heaven.

Therefore...... Today's Shangshutai is fully controlled by the Son of Heaven.

To put it more bluntly, that is, after Zhang Qu and Zhang Haoran became officials, no one in the entire court could balance the Son of Heaven to a certain extent, and the entire situation in the Great Jin Dynasty would be based on the will of the Son of Heaven alone.

This is the dictatorship of the cadres, which is a good thing, and it is not necessarily a good thing.

Chen Fang, as the current civil leader, was the first to enter the mourning hall, and he knelt down in a proper manner, and after kowtowing to Ye Guogong.

Ye Lan and Li Xin left and right, kowtowing and returning the salute.

Chen Xiang, who has been a deputy in Shangshutai for many years, is actually not much different from Zhang Qu's age, and now he is gray-haired, and it seems that he will not be able to be a Zaifu for a few years.

In other words, it is very likely that the authority of Shang Shutai will be transferred to the two new Zaifu appointed by the Taikang Dynasty in a short period of time.

After he finished kowtowing, he slowly got up and bowed to Ye Sheng's spiritual position.

"My husband's martial arts in his life shook the past and the present, and he was glorious for thousands of years."

He bowed his head deeply.

"I hope that my grandfather will still be the people of the Great Jin Dynasty in the next life, and then I will live a peaceful and prosperous life with the Great Jin Dynasty for fifty years."

Although it has only been 40 years since Ye Sheng's northern expedition, that war has indeed given the Great Jin Dynasty at least 50 years of peace and prosperity.

With that, he withdrew.

The civil officials in the back were about to come in and kowtow, when suddenly a somewhat shrill voice came from outside.

"Your Majesty has arrived at ......"

This voice was very familiar, and Li Xin, who was kneeling next to the coffin, immediately heard the voice of Xiao Zheng, the head of the inner court.

Although the Son of Heaven also came quietly yesterday, this shout is very different from yesterday.

Although the Son of Heaven came yesterday, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty did not come, but today, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty arrived in person.

Ye Luan's face was blank, and he slowly got up from the ground.

Li Xin also sighed and stood up from the ground.

When the Son of Heaven arrives, the Ye family must go out to greet them, even if they are doing a funeral, they must go to the full number of ceremonies, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the emperor.

If the emperor also came over with this pomp yesterday, then Old Man Ye would also have to go out to greet him.

Of course, the Son of Heaven came here as the emperor today, not to put on a show, but to give Old Man Ye face, which means to tell the world that the Son of Heaven of the Great Jin Dynasty has come to worship the heroes of the Great Jin Dynasty in person.

Because they knelt for most of the day, Li Xin and Ye Lan's knees were already numb, and as soon as the two of them stood up, they both fell at the same time and almost fell to the ground.

The two of them rubbed their knees, and little by little they walked outside.

By the time they reached the front yard, the emperor's chariot had already arrived, Ye Lan walked in the front, and Li Xin and Ye Mao stood behind him, both kneeling down and saluting the emperor.

"Ministers......"

"Knock to your majesty."

The Son of Heaven slowly walked down from the chariot and walked to Ye Xuan's side. Stretched out his hand to help Ye Lan up, and sighed.

"Ye Qing's festival mourns."

Ye Lan lowered his head and did not speak.

The Son of Heaven helped Li Xin up again, and then waved his hand to the people who knelt on the ground: "Get up, I just came over today and gave the old country a junior salute, and you can do whatever you have to do." ”

The Son of Heaven spoke, and the people in the Ye family naturally scattered.

Ye Lan and Li Xin accompanied the Son of Heaven on both sides, and took the Son of Heaven to the mourning hall, and after arriving at the mourning hall, the two of them, as well as the grandsons of the Ye family and the great-grandchildren, knelt on both sides of the coffin again.

And the Son of Heaven straightened his clothes and walked in front of Ye Guogongling, his face solemn.

He didn't kneel.

If he came in plain clothes, he knelt down and kowtowed to Old Man Ye a few times, which should be shared, but he is now the Son of Heaven and the person with the highest status in the Great Jin Dynasty, no matter what, he can't kneel down and kowtow.

However, the Son of Heaven solemnly bowed to Ye Sheng's spiritual position three times.

The Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty took a deep breath.

"If it weren't for the old kingdom forty years ago, the splendid country of my Great Jin might not still be there, and even I might not have it."

"The first emperors of the past dynasties, thank you for the kindness of the old country."

"The old prince has made outstanding contributions, and he is the first meritorious hero since my Great Jin Dynasty, and I have ordered Shangshutai to prepare and posthumously crown the king with a different surname."

"I also went to the will with the Zongfu, and the old prince will be worthy of enjoying the Taimiao and forever receiving the incense of the Ji family."

Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven bowed deeply again.

"I hope that the Great Jin Dynasty can bury the loyal bones of the old country."
