Nightfall Chapter 275: Those forgotten names
Volume Two, Winter Lake, Chapter 275, Those Forgotten Names
Except for the two generations of people who have entered the world, Ke Haoran and Ning Que, the back mountain of the academy has never been in the world. The soldier of the Yulin Army at the end of the snow bridge does not know who the high-crowned man sitting cross-legged in the snow is.
Hearing that this person dared to be so disrespectful and arrogant towards General Xu Shi, the Yulin Jun suddenly became extremely angry, his beard and hair were stretched, as if he was about to pierce the armor on his body, so he drew his sword and raised his spear and wanted to rush to the snow bridge. , Beheaded that servant on the spot.
Xu Shi raised his right arm blankly, and the commotion and killing intent behind him suddenly subsided. He looked at the man sitting cross-legged in the snow, his expression gradually dreaded, and said: "Is the college really going to turn back?"
The second brother looked at him under the bridge and said: "The college does not oppose Xiahou's return to the old, nor does it oppose the younger brother challenging him, because there is no way to oppose it."
Xu Shi frowned and said, "You know I am going to oppose this."
The second brother said: "I oppose your objection."
Xu Shi looked at the man on the snow bridge. After a long silence, his voice was slightly mute and asked: "This is what the dean meant?"
The second brother said: "No, this is what I meant."
Xu Shi squinted slightly and said, "So you stopped on the snow bridge."
The second brother sits cross-legged in the snow, standing tall and straight, and his robe does not tremble in the wind. If the cliffs in the snow peak are like pine trees, he looks like the great figure in the academy back then.
He looked at Xu Shi under the snow bridge and Yu Linjun’s iron cavalry, and said blankly: "I respect the younger brother, so I will not intervene, but I want him to be fair."
……
……
In the royal study room of the imperial palace, angry curses, fierce arguments, idiots and all kinds of foul language, like snowflakes dancing in the sky, spread everywhere.
Guo Shi Li Qingshan left the academy and entered Chang'an City as quickly as possible, and came to the newly renovated Taoist Temple. Because of the heavy snowfall, the neighbourhood’s celebrations have ended hastily. Ye Su smiled after hearing about the imperial city, and disappeared into the wind and snow.
In the streets and lanes outside the imperial city, many horse-drawn carriages drove up. All forces who received the news sent people to inquire about the news, including envoys from various countries and representatives of the Xiling Temple in the world.
In the snow pavilion far away from the moat, Ye Hongyu in a cyan robe looked at the direction of the palace gate, looked at the blood flag and the dazzling **** umbrella that were whizzing in the wind and snow, and was silent.
Chen Pi came along with Tang Xiaotang on the other side of Snow Street. Because of Tang Xiaotang's identity, he didn't let her follow him to the palace. He turned around and knocked on a closed store door in Nanjiexiang.
He borrowed a chair from that store, then moved his chubby body from Xuejie to the imperial city, looked at Ning Que and said, "Before you prepare to fight, you must save your energy."
Ning Que said: "Thank you brother."
Some soldiers had brought tables and chairs for Xiahou, and even a cup of hot tea. Before the blood flag, in the wind and snow, he held a tea bowl and drank at will, his expression naturally calm.
Xiahou frowned slightly when she saw Chen Pipi, but didn't pay much attention to it.
Ning Que sat down on the chair, Sangsang was holding a **** umbrella behind the chair, Chen Pipi wanted to bandage his bleeding left palm, but he shook his head and refused.
In front of the palace gate, the blood-flag and black umbrella are in the wind and snow, and the general is drinking hot tea, and Ning Que rests his mind. This picture is very strange, even absurd, but terrible.
……
……
There are many carriages hidden in the streets in front of the imperial city, and many people have not been there, waiting for the final result in their respective mansions.
"Mr. Er appeared on the snow bridge, and waited for the academy's attitude to be expressed, and the academy agreed to Ning Que's challenge to Xiahou, then the Datang military could not stop this incident."
The Three Worships from Qinghe County, looked back from the falling snowflakes in front of the princess mansion terrace, looked at the two noble royal brothers and sisters, smiled and said: "Congratulations, Your Highness."
Li Yu's expression is very calm, but there is a worried expression hidden deep in his eyes.
Xiahou is the most powerful support for the Empress Empress. His disbanding and returning to the old age is an excellent thing for her and Li Hunyuan, but Ningque’s challenge to Xiahou is even better, no matter who wins or loses. , Even if the college will remain silent on this matter, it will feel hatred towards the queen.
However, she couldn't be happy, because she, like everyone in the world, believed that Ning Que could not be Xiahou's opponent. In other words, Ning Que would definitely die today.
She looked at He Mingchi, who had been sitting silently on the other side, and asked with a slight frown, "The national teacher went to Xiaodao Temple, what does Mr. Ye Su say?"
He Mingchi shook his head and said: "Even if the Xiling Temple wants to stop this in Chang'an City, it is impossible to do it, because the academy has already nodded."
San Zhuo said lightly: "If your Royal Highness is still not at ease, the old man may have some means to make Xiling Temple and the Academy regain their suspicion because of this matter."
Listening to these words, Li Yu's face gradually became cold, and he slightly squinted his eyes and warned: "Don't try to use any means to provoke the academy's anger, neither you nor I can bear it."
The Three Enshrinements are highly respected in Qinghe County on weekdays. Youruo Patriarch, facing her Royal Highness Princess Datang, can be in the lower position. However, listening to these words, there is still some feeling in her heart.
"His Royal Highness said, then I will go and see." He said blankly.
He flicked his sleeves, walked out of the terrace, left the princess mansion in the wind and snow, and walked towards Yanming Lake.
……
……
The snow keeps falling, and it gets bigger and bigger, and it spreads to Chang'an City.
No matter how light the snow is, it will eventually fall on the ground, or be swept into the ditch, or accumulated until the next year. When the spring flowers bloom, they will be melted into water by the sun, mixed with dust and dead leaves, and disappear without a trace.
This is the truth between heaven and earth.
Just as the things that should be done are always to be done, the people who should come are always there. Many people came to Chang'an City with the wind and snow, including a monk.
The monk was wearing a shabby hat and a tattered kapok robes. His face exposed out of the shadow of the hat was unusual, but he naturally had a taste of determination.
The monk entered the city through the West City Gate and stood on the long wind and snow street. He didn't seem to know how to go. He turned around and came to a hot porridge shop, took off his hat, and started asking for directions.
Take off the hat, revealing the black and sharp new-born stubble, just like a monk's affirmative firmness, but when he asks for directions, the smile on his face is so kind and gentle.
The word asking for directions is not accurate. The monk kept his mouth tightly closed. When he occasionally grinned, he could see that his tongue was only half of his tongue, which turned out to be a dumb man who couldn't speak.
……
……
For Ning Que and Xiahou sitting in the snow, this time is very long, because no matter how cold the snow is, their bodies have already warmed up.
For His Majesty the Emperor in the palace and Xu Shi on the other side of Xueqiao, this time is very short, because the attitude of the academy makes them helpless, and they have no time to do more.
Just when this hour was about to end, the court finally found a way, and the palace gates suddenly opened. Datang Guoshi Li Qingshan and Wenyuange Scholar Zeng Jing, escorted by dozens of eunuchs, hurried to the scene. In time, began to read the will of his majesty.
His Royal Highness Li Peiyan walked silently at the end of the crowd.
Zeng Jing, a scholar of Wenyuange University, ranked last in the Datang Cabinet, but he is Sangsang’s biological father and has a special status. The national teacher Li Qingshan is a practitioner and has always ignored the court affairs, but he and Ning Que is old. Starting from Master Yan Se's side, Ning Que wants to call him Master Uncle.
Your Majesty asked them two to announce the will, naturally, they have to take the path of affection.
Sure enough, Ning Que looked at these two and had to stand up and salute.
The academician Zeng Jing coughed twice, reached out his hand to erase the snowflakes that fell on the imperial edict, and said: "Your Majesty has a purpose."
Everyone in front of the imperial city kept their breath and thought.
Zeng Jing glanced at the prince Li Peiyan, sighed softly, and then said in a slightly astringent voice: "Prince Li Peiyan of Tangyi, due to the first year of Tianqi, please remove the king."
It was all quiet. The people in front of the imperial city couldn't suppress their shock and looked towards His Royal Highness.
Li Peiyan’s noble crown is still on the snow between Ning Que and Xiahou. It is gradually being buried by the snow. His hair is now a bit messy and looks a little embarrassed, but the look on his face is abnormal. Indifferent.
Zeng Jing ignored the reactions of the people, holding the imperial decree in both hands, and continued to read: "The case of former Xuanwei General Lin Guangyuan conspired to treason against the country. Due to insufficient evidence, it is now revoked..."
The names on the imperial decree were reported one by one through the trembling voice of the academicians, echoing in the wind and snow, and hitting the Zhu wall.
"Xuanwei General Lin Guangyuan..."
"Mrs. Lin Guangyuan..."
"General Sha Gang..."
"School Lieutenant Cheng Xinzheng..."
"Documents Linhai..."
"The official Hu Hua..."
……
……
Listening to the names that have long since disappeared in history, and listening to the will of the Taoist officials reinstating their posts and reminiscing about the seals, the imperial city was dead.
In His Majesty’s decree, there was no mention of retrial of the old case. However, the prince asked to remove the king, and all the soldiers involved in the case were rehabilitated. What is the difference between this... and the reversal?
People finally understood what the palace meant.
His Majesty once thought about reversing the case of General Xuanwei's treason, but because of the relationship between the situation in the DPRK and the Xiling Temple, especially the relationship without evidence, this thing was not done.
Today's Academy acquiesced to Ning Que to challenge Xiahou and set a problem for the court. However, without evidence, His Majesty still could not reverse the case, so he chose to use this method.
It’s not a reversal, it’s also a reversal.
At least, this can give an explanation to the person who died unjustly in the past and Ning Que today.
When the decree began, Xiahou stood up from his chair. His Majesty’s decree did not involve him, but his brows gradually frowned, and then he slowly sat down again.
The names are still floating in the wind and snow.
Xiahou knows those names and has met the people they represent.
Ten years ago, he had personally watched those people die in front of him. He had seen the heads piled up in hills, some with eyes closed, some with eyes open, some with despair in their eyes, There are angry.
Those names sounded again after more than ten years. Before the imperial city, when he entered his ears, he became more and more silent, his face became more and more iron, and the hand holding the arm of the chair became harder and harder.
He doesn't feel guilty, and he doesn't blame himself, nor is he sad.
He was just angry.
The armrest turned into powder, and fell rustling through his fingers, angrily, on the snow.
No one paid attention to the mood of General Xiahou at this time.
Because his majesty did not mention him in his will.
In terms of laws and regulations, he is no longer General Xiahou.
All he has to do is to accept it calmly, and then leave Chang'an City honestly.
Everyone looked at Ning Que.
They know who the object of your Majesty’s will is.
If you want to stop this life and death duel, you can only hope that Ning Que will withdraw the challenge.
His Majesty reversed the case for Lin Guangyuan, generously rewarded him, and Grace Yin for three generations for this.
The people in front of the imperial city looked at Ning Que under the black umbrella, thinking that it should be over.
……
……
Since hearing the three words Lin Guangyuan, Ning Que lowered his head and looked at the thick snow under his feet intently, turning his face sideways, listening intently to the name after another on the will.
He has heard those names, so he listened very seriously today, but the expression on his face is very complicated, some relieved, some lost, some self-deprecating.
The name on the imperial decree is finally finished.
Li Qingshan, an academician of Zeng Jing and the Chinese teacher, walked up to him and solemnly handed over the imperial edict.
Ning Que accepted the imperial decree and remained silent.
Li Qingshan looked dignified and said: "Your Majesty said, as long as you admit the murders in the past, he will amnesty you, because after all, there is excuse. If you feel that your Royal Highness can't make up for it, your Majesty and Empress will represent Xiahou. The general apologized to you and made compensation."
The national teacher’s voice was very soft, covered by the wind and snow, no one could hear him except himself and Ning Que, but people could guess what he and Ning Que were talking about.
However, just when everyone thought the matter was over and their mood gradually relaxed, Ning Que made an unexpected decision.
Ning Que put the imperial decree on the chair behind him, looked at Li Qingshan, Zeng Jing, and the people in front of the imperial city and laughed, then raised his palms.
He began to applaud.
In the beginning, his movements were very gentle, and then he was getting harder and harder, as if he was slapping a wall hard, the wound in his palm burst again, splashing blood everywhere.
Flap!
Happiness!
Happiness!
The applause became louder and louder, and the blood splashed from his palms, then dripped, dripped onto his body, dripped onto his legs, and finally landed in the snow.
Looking at this scene, the people in front of the imperial city once again felt a sense of indifference and terror, and their bodies gradually became colder again with the wind and snow.
"Your Majesty is very kind, and Tang Law does have some effect. It is a very good thing to hear those names on the imperial edict resounding in Chang'an again, and I am very comforted."
Ning Que said with emotion: "It's a pity that some names are forgotten after all, I'm sorry."
Zeng Jing asked nervously: "Who else is missing? I will go to the palace immediately to ask your majesty."
Ning Que smiled and said: "I also missed many names in the General's Mansion, such as the groom, such as the cook, such as the gardener, such as the maid, and...my parents."
Zeng Jing said in a puzzled way: "The first to be sealed is the general and his wife..."
Ning Que looked down at the snow under his feet and the blood spots on the snow. After a long silence, he said, "The general and his wife are not my parents."
As soon as this statement came out, the wind and snow suddenly disappeared.
