Among them, the big Hou Jingde kowtowed a few times, then walked to Ye Lin's side, his dark face was full of shame.

"Brother Ye, Hou has been busy in the Imperial Army recently. I don't know that my old man is not in good health, so I couldn't see him for the last time. These days, Hou is also helping Ye's house. What can you do to help?" , just open your mouth."

Ye Lin, Hou Jingde, and Li Xin were the backbone of the "Renchen Palace Change" at the beginning, and they were also the three generals who came from Habayashi Guard. A few years ago, they were called the Third Marquis of Renchen. This should be a brotherly friendship, but Hou Jingde didn't know about Ye Cheng's illness until now, which really ruined the brotherhood back then.

You know, until now, the three of them are still regarded as the "Habayashi guards" by those civil servants in the court.

Ye Lin had recovered quite a bit at this moment, he bowed his head to return the salute, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Hou, you are welcome, Brother Hou is able to come, the Ye family is very grateful."

Hou Jingde sighed, and slowly exited the mourning hall.

After the military personnel kowtowed, the civil servants of the Jin Dynasty entered the mourning hall to kowtow to Lord Ye Guogong one by one. The leader was Chen Fang, the right servant who had been Zhang Qu's deputy for many years.

After Zhang Qu's resignation, the prime minister who had been a deputy at Shangshutai for many years finally became a full-time official. Now he and the former Zhongshu Ling Gongyangshu are in charge of Shangshutai. The vacancy left by Zhang Qu 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 from office a few years ago, and the emperor promoted Shangshu Zuocheng Chen Ying to make up for it. That is to say, at least two of the five Zaifu in the three provinces were personally promoted by Emperor Taikang. Yes, plus the fact that the emperor has been in power for eight years, it is impossible that none of the other three prime ministers have fallen to the emperor.

Therefore... today's Shangshutai, probably has been fully controlled by the emperor.

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

This is Gan Gang's arbitrariness, which is a good thing, but it may not be a good thing.

As the current civil servant leader, Chen Fang was the first to enter the mourning hall. He knelt down in a proper manner, and kowtowed to Duke Ye after saluting.

Ye Lin and Li Xin, one on the left and one on the right, kowtowed in return.

Chen Xiang, who had been a deputy at Shangshutai for many years, was actually not much different in age from Zhang Qu, and now his hair was gray, and it seemed that he could not be a prime minister for a few years.

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

After kowtowing, he slowly got up and bowed to Ye Cheng's spiritual seat.

"The old man's martial arts throughout his life are astonishing in the past and the present, shining forever."

He bowed his head deeply.

"May my father-in-law be a citizen of the Jin Dynasty in the next life, and be with me for another 50 years in peace and prosperity."

Although it has only been 40 years since Ye Sheng's Northern Expedition, that battle has indeed brought peace and prosperity to Da Jin for at least 50 years.

After speaking, he backed out.

When the civil servant behind was about to come in and kowtow, suddenly a shrill voice came from outside.

"Your Majesty is coming..."

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

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

Although the emperor came yesterday, the emperor of Jin did not come, but today, the emperor of Jin came in person.

Ye Lin looked numb, and 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 meet him, even if it is a funeral, they must go to the ceremony, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the emperor.

If the emperor came here on this occasion yesterday, then Old Man Ye would also go out to greet him.

Of course, the emperor came here today as the emperor, not for ostentation, but to show old man Ye face, meaning to tell the world that the emperor of the Jin Dynasty came to worship the heroes of the Jin Dynasty in person.

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

The two rubbed their knees, and then walked outside bit by bit.

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

"Sir wait..."

"Kowtow to Your Majesty."

The emperor walked down slowly from the chariot, and walked behind Ye Lin.Reaching out to help Ye Lin up, he let out a long sigh.

"Ye Qing is sad and obedient."

Ye Lin lowered his head and did not speak.

The Son of Heaven helped Li Xin up again, and then waved to the people kneeling on the ground: "Get up, I just came here today, to do a junior courtesy to the old Duke, and do what you have to do. "

The emperor spoke, and the people in the Ye family naturally dispersed.

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

The Son of Heaven, on the other hand, straightened his clothes and walked up to Ye Guogong's spirit with a serious expression on his face.

He didn't kneel down.

If he came here in plain clothes, he should kneel down and kowtow to Old Man Ye, but he is now the Son of Heaven, the person with the highest status in Dajin, no matter what, he cannot kneel down and kowtow.

However, the emperor solemnly bowed to Ye Cheng's spiritual seat three times.

The emperor of Dajin took a deep breath.

"If it hadn't been for 40 years ago that the old Duke ruled the world, the splendor of our Great Jin may not still be there, and even I may not have it."

"My previous emperors of all dynasties, thank you old Duke for your kindness."

"The old Duke has made outstanding achievements. He is the number one hero since I came into power in the Jin Dynasty. I have ordered Shang Shutai to make a draft and posthumously designate him as a king with a different surname."

"I also made an edict with the Zongfu that the old Duke will be worthy to enjoy the Taimiao and be incensed by the Ji family forever."

Having said this, the emperor bowed deeply again.

"May the great Jin Dynasty be able to bury the loyal bones of the old Duke."

Chapter 705 I can do it myself!

With mixed feelings, the people in the entire capital sent away the most prestigious general for hundreds of years.

In fact, 40 years ago, Ye Sheng was not considered to be the only one in the thriving. Back then, Pingnanhou Li Zhijie was also very remarkable, just because the national power of Jin was better than that of Southern Shu at that time. It is far less conspicuous than Ye Guogong's victory over the strong with the weak.

This is the first time that the imperial court ordered the white flags to see off someone in the whole city except for the royal family. Even after the imperial court stipulated that three days had passed, seven or eight adults in the capital still did not take off the flags. Auspicious white banner.

In the words of today's Shangshu Zuo Pushe Chen Fang, Ye Guogong brought 50 years of prosperity to the Jin Dynasty with his own efforts.

All the people of the Great Jin Dynasty living in this prosperous age should have some respect for Ye Guogong.
