The muffled sound was like a muffled thunder, which made many people tremble slightly.

I heard the sensational words that Yanbai said, and saw him slowly leaning down to bow down. Suddenly, in my heart and eyes, it seemed like an invisible film was pierced. All of a sudden, all the truth was clearly placed in front of me.

He wants to-

Pei Yuanhao looked down at him, was silent for a moment, and said, "Taoshi, you said you are guilty, why did you have any guilt?"

As the saying goes, Bai still knelt down on the ground and said slowly: "The old minister, who has been the head of the three ministers, should have commanded all officials, understood the people's conditions, assisted the emperor and the prime minister in government affairs, and created an immortal foundation for thousands of years. However, today's situation - it was the mistake of the old minister, which even caused the emperor to apologize to the people of the world. The old minister, the crime is unforgivable."

“…”

Pei Yuanhao was still standing on the platform without moving. When he looked down at him, his eyes flashed a little. After a while, he said, "The teacher was old and old. If it were someone else, he would have been at home to enjoy his old age. It was me, I would have forced you."

Tai Shi Chang rested on the ground and said tremblingly: "The old minister has indeed had the idea of ​​retiring and returning home several times. Because his ambitions have not been fulfilled and his long-cherished wish has not been fulfilled, he has not resigned to the emperor for a long time, which has caused the country and the people to be here. Today, the old minister resigns to the emperor, and hopes that the old minister will be allowed to retiring and return home to comfort his life."

When I heard his words, my heart seemed to be pinched hard, and even my breathing became a little rapid. I subconsciously turned around and looked at the figure standing not far behind Pei Yuanhao, who had been motionless in the crowd.

Queen Chang Qing, she stood there quietly, as if the one who was talking below was not her father at all. But I knew that she was not as calm as she seemed at this moment, because I clearly saw the corners of her eyes red and her whole body was trembling slightly, especially when I slowly approached her, I couldn't even hear her breathing.

At this time, Grand Master Chang had already taken out his resignation from his sleeve and raised his head high: "This is the resignation of the old minister. Please ask the emperor to forgive the old minister for his retirement and return home."

“…”

This time, it was no longer Pei Yuanhao who was surprised.

All the people around were stunned, especially Nangong Jinhong, who was kneeling beside Chang Yanbai. He seemed to have been hit hard by someone with a heavy hammer, and he was stunned, as if he couldn't believe his ears, and he just stared at the Grand Master with a wide eyes, completely losing his reaction.

Pei Yuanhao was silent for a while before waved his hand. Eunuch Yu, who was originally kneeling beside him, hurriedly got up, but he got up anxiously and staggered for a moment. The little eunuch behind him hurriedly reached out to support him, which was cut by him with his hand, and then hurriedly ran down, took over Chang Yanbai's resignation, and presented it to Pei Yuanhao.

Pei Yuanhao opened his eyes and looked at him, his face became heavier and he said slowly: "Taoshi, are you really leaving?"

"Emperor," said in a deep voice: "Old minister, I am old, I can only sleep for one or two hours every night and wake up. When writing a memorial, my eyes are dizzy and I can't see clearly. Instead of staying like this, it's better to go back to my hometown to be a free man. The emperor, use more young people. Young people dare to think and do, and the emperor's great cause can be used for them."

“…”

"Please accept the favor of the emperor."

“…”

He took a long breath and said, "Well, you are old, and I shouldn't force you to keep you anymore. You go."

"Thank you the emperor for your kindness! Thank you the emperor for your kindness!"

As the saying goes, Bai kowtowed hard again, and a muffled sound from the stone slab, which made the people stand up uneasy. A few eunuchs hurriedly ran down to help him up and left the road next to him.

I stretched out my hand and held Chang Qing, who was already shaking.

She turned around and looked at me, but a faint smile suddenly appeared on her pale face, and then lowered her head.

At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on the remaining people.

Nangong Jinhong and the officials kneeling behind him.

As soon as Bai left, their large number of people kneeling on the ground suddenly became dazzling. It seemed that even Nangong Jinhong could feel it himself. He looked around and his face turned pale. He couldn't kneel steadily and could only lie on his hands, his forehead was also pressed against the ground, and his body trembled slightly.

The officials behind him were more uneasy than him and were even more shaking.

Because, as the saying goes, when Bai kneels down, no one follows him...

When Nangong Jinhong knelt down, there were so many officials behind him. Just now, when Zabixing complained, the words "forming cliques for personal gain" and "holding power and chaotic politics" were still in his ears. But now, the scene in front of him seemed to be acting in his case.

More and more people looked at Nangong Jinhong.

Pei Yuanhao stopped looking at him, but just watched the figure of Chang Yanbai go away.

However, the more this happens, the more tense the atmosphere becomes. It almost suppresses Nangong Jinhong, who was already kneeling on the ground. He is almost stuck to the ground, and he is still shaking.

At this moment, a weak voice came from behind, like a candle in the wind—

"Father……"

When she looked back, it was Nangong Lizhu. She stood not far away, looking at Nangong Jinhong with a pale face. Suddenly, she fell down softly.

"Empress Concubine!"

"Empress!"

The people around him shouted, Pei Yuanhao rushed forward with a quick look, hurriedly hugged her: "Zhu'er!"

Nangong Lizhu fell softly into his arms.

At this time, people around him also surrounded him.

"What's wrong with the Imperial Concubine?"

"I'm afraid it's - the old disease has not been cured?"

"The Empress's old illness is..."

As soon as he heard the word "old disease", Pei Yuanhao's eyes turned red. At this moment, Nangong Lizhu had closed her eyes, her face was pale and almost without a trace of blood. Even her breathing was about to stop. He reached out to put his hand on the tip of her nose, and immediately changed his face. He picked her up and walked backwards while shouting: "Transfer to the imperial doctor! Immediately send it to me!"

The people around him agreed in a verbal manner, but they were helpless and dared not move around. Yu Laojun pointed his hand and a few eunuchs ran out.

I still held Chang Qing and felt her trembling slightly, but at this moment, even though the surroundings were in chaos, none of us moved.

Pei Yuanhao, he carried Nangong Lizhu to the harem. He had just walked to the intersection when he suddenly stopped again and looked back.

Then, when he heard what he ordered, Eunuch Yu stood beside him and nodded anxiously.

All I heard his last sentence floating in the wind—

"Escort Yan Qingying back to Jingren Palace immediately."

After saying that, he looked up at me again, and his gaze was almost more gloomy than the sky at this moment.

Chang Qing and I were still standing there. After a while, Eunuch Yu turned back and said to us respectfully: "Empress, Miss Yan, it is windy here and cold. The emperor has already given instructions. Please ask the two to return to Jingren Palace as soon as possible and never be blown by the wind."

Chang Qing didn't say anything, just remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

I could feel that her body was weak at this moment, and her steps were weak as she stepped out, so I kept holding her arm, and even the buttons around her had no time to insert them in. The two of them slowly walked towards the harem.

As night fell, it became darker and darker.

But my heart became more and more translucent.

The lawsuit against Bixing was so wonderful. It seems that he had spent a lot of effort. It was difficult for ordinary people to get into Beijing so clearly. Du Yan said before that he went out to wander every day, and even relied on his skill and courage to go to the yamen of the six ministries to visit. His kung fu was not in vain.

But, I didn't expect Pei Yuanhao to do this today.

As the emperor, the Supreme Emperor of Nine Five, it is quite difficult for him to apologize in front of all civil and military officials and in front of so many ordinary people outside. Since ancient times, so many kings, whether wise or virtuous, have they issued edicts to punish themselves or even apologize to the people of the world? This was beyond everyone's expectations, and reminded me of the time when he was a prince, when he held a banquet in Yangzhou for a cold wind and a clear water table. No matter how long he had passed and what he had experienced, his original intention was not changed. This alone was quite difficult. Perhaps only he was like this, he really lived up to the sacrifice of Huang Tianba, and did his best to work hard for him and devoted all his energy.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh.

However, at this moment, I couldn't fully understand why Shi Bixing had to sue the emperor?

If we really want to force one of the two men, including Guan Yanbai and Nangong Jinhong, to step down, his imperial confession today is enough. After all, Pei Yuanhao is determined to suppress the Chang family, but why do we have to sue the emperor?

His words are sharp, and in such an occasion, if he fails, he will fail. If he cannot force Pei Yuanhao to admit his mistake, then he will die. Is it as simple as asking Pei Yuanhao to admit his mistake?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but turn around and look at Chabixing, who was still standing in the center of the square. Several eunuchs were already jogging over and saying something to him politely. The transparent eyes became clearer and more strange in the dim light. I only saw a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and then nodded gently.

At this moment, I really don't understand.

Although, I knew that Pei Yuanhao's kneeling would be like a huge rock throwing into the calm lake, and then countless ripples would rise from the center of the imperial city and spread rapidly to the whole world.

But I don’t know what the meaning of Pei Yuanhao’s kneeling is?
