Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 704 Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains buried loyal bones

   Hanging around in the courtroom, no matter how popular you are, it is impossible to have no enemies at all. No matter how much credit you have made, there will be red-eyed villains in the dark who will shoot cold arrows at you.

But on this day, all the officials in the imperial court in the entire capital, 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, are all next to each other on this day. One, come to Chen Guogong's mansion to bid farewell to Ye Guogong.

   has nothing to do with love or hate.

   Ye Sheng has made great contributions to this country. Now that he is gone, as long as he is still from Jin, he should come and see him off.

   Among those who said goodbye were Ji Ping, the left governor of the current Grand Governor's office, General Pei Jin, who was re-appointed as the general of the forbidden army, Hou Jingde, Hou Jingde, Hou Zhongyong...

   Basically, as long as there are prominent figures in the Dajin military, they all rushed to Chen Guogong's mansion to kowtow to the old man to say goodbye.

  The big man Hou Jingde kowtowed a few times and walked to Ye Lin's side, his dark face full of shame.

"Brother Ye, Hou Mou has been busy in the Imperial Army recently. I don't know that my husband is not in good health, so I couldn't see my husband for the last time. These days, Hou Mou is also helping out at Ye's house. What can you do? , just speak up."

Ye Lin, Hou Jingde and Li Xin were the backbones of the "Rinchen Palace Change" at the beginning, and they were also the three generals who accompanied Yu Linwei. They were called the three princes of Imchen a few years ago. It stands to reason that the three of them It should be a friendship like brothers. Ye Sheng is so ill now, but Hou Jingde doesn't know it. It does ruin the brotherhood of the year.

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

   Ye Lin has recovered a lot by now. He bowed his head and saluted, and said solemnly, "Brother Hou, you are very polite. The Ye family is very grateful for Brother Hou coming."

   Hou Jingde sighed and slowly exited the mourning hall.

  After the military men finished kowtowing, the civil servants of the Jin Dynasty entered the mourning hall one after another to kowtow to Duke Ye Guogong, headed by Chen Fang, the right servant who had been Zhang Qu's deputy for many years.

After Zhang Qu's resignation, Zaifu, who had been a deputy in Shangshutai for many years, finally turned his post. Now he is in charge of Shangshutai together with the former Zhongshu Ling Gongyangshu. Zhang Qu's vacancy will be promoted by Emperor Taikang. Zhao Yuanli, the former servant of the Ministry of Rites, filled in the gaps.

In addition to the promotion of Zaifu this time, Huan Chu resigned a few years ago, and it was also replaced by the emperor Chen Ying who promoted Shangshu Zuo Cheng. That is to say, at least two of the five Zaifu in the three provinces were personally promoted by the emperor Taikang. In addition, the emperor has been in power for eight years, and it is impossible for the other three Saisukes not to fall to the emperor.

  Therefore... 80% of today's Shangshutai has been fully controlled by the emperor.

   To put it more bluntly, it means that after Zhang Qu and Zhang Haoran took office, no one in the entire court can check and balance the emperor to a certain extent, and the entire situation of the Jin Dynasty will be based on the will of the emperor alone.

   This is just being arbitrary. It is a good thing, but it may not be a good thing.

  Chen Fang, as the current leader of the civil service, was the first to enter the mourning hall. He knelt down in a proper manner and kowtowed to Duke Ye Guogong.

   Ye Lin and Li Xin kowtowed to the left and to the right.

   This Chen Xiang, who has been his deputy for many years at Shangshutai, is actually not much different in age from Zhang Qu, and now he has gray hair, and it seems that he will not be able to be a chief for a few years.

   In other words, the authority of the Shangshutai is likely to be handed over to the two new Taisukes appointed by the Taikang Dynasty in a short period of time.

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

   "My grandfather's martial arts have shocked the past and the present, and shined brightly in the future."

   He bowed his head deeply.

   "May your grandfather be a citizen of Dajin in his next life, and he will be with me for fifty years of peace and prosperity in Dajin."

  Although Ye Sheng had only been on the Northern Expedition for 40 years, that battle did indeed bring at least 50 years of peace and prosperity to Da Jin.

   After saying that, he backed out.

The civil servant behind    was about to come in and kowtow when suddenly a shrill voice came from outside.

   "Your Majesty is coming..."

   The voice was very familiar, Li Xin, who was kneeling beside the coffin, immediately heard that it was the voice of Xiao Zheng, the head of the inner court.

  Although the Son of Heaven also came quietly yesterday, when he shouted it out, it was very different from yesterday.

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

   Ye Lin's face was blank as he slowly got up from the ground.

   Li Xin also sighed and stood up from the ground.

   When the emperor arrives, the Ye family must go out to greet him. Even if it is a funeral, they must go to the full ceremony, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the emperor.

  If the emperor came here yesterday in this pomp, then Old Man Ye would also go out to meet him.

   Of course, the emperor came here today as an emperor, not to put on show, but to give Ye Laotou face, meaning to tell the world that the emperor of Dajin came to pay homage to the hero of Dajin in person.

  Because they had been kneeling for a long time, both Li Xin and Ye Lin's knees were numb. When the two stood up, they both fell at the same time and almost fell to the ground.

   The two rubbed their knees, and then walked out little by little.

   By the time they reached the front yard, the emperor's chariot had arrived, Ye Lin walked in front, Li Xin and Ye Mao stood behind him, both knelt down and saluted the emperor.

   "I will wait..."

   "Kill Your Majesty."

  The Son of Heaven slowly walked down from the carriage and walked to Ye Lin's side. He stretched out his hand to help Ye Lin up and let out a long sigh.

   "Ye Qing condolences and changes."

   Ye Lin lowered his head and did not speak.

The emperor helped Li Xin up again, and then waved to the people who were kneeling on the ground: "Get up, I just came over today to give the old prince a courtesy to the younger generation, and you can do whatever you need to do. "

  The emperor said something, and the people in the Ye family naturally scattered.

   Ye Lin and Li Xin accompanied the emperor on both sides and took the emperor to the mourning hall. After arriving at the mourning hall, the two of them, the grandson of the Ye family and the great-grandchildren, knelt on both sides of the coffin again.

   On the other hand, the Emperor straightened his clothes and walked in front of Ye Guogong Ling with a solemn expression.

   He did not kneel.

   If he came in plainclothes, he would kneel down and kowtow to Old Man Ye, and he should be due, but he is now the emperor and the person with the highest status in Dajin. No matter what, he can't kneel down and kowtow.

   But the emperor bowed three times to Ye Sheng's spiritual position.

   The Emperor of Jin took a deep breath.

   "If it wasn't forty years ago that the old ruler established the world, the splendid state of my Jin Dynasty might not still exist today, and even I might not have it."

   "I am the first emperor of all dynasties, thank the old man for his kindness."

   "The old prince of the country has outstanding merits, and he is the first hero of my country since the great Jin Dynasty. I have ordered the Shangshutai to make it and buried it with the etiquette of the county king."

   "I also made a decree with the Zongfu that the old prince will enjoy the Taimiao Temple and receive the incense of the Ji family forever."

   Having said this, the emperor bowed deeply again.

   "May the great Jin's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains be buried in the bones of the old man's loyalty."
