The Reborn Wife is Farming
Chapter 523 Sacrifice
As soon as Taifu Yan handed over the papers, there was an uproar. At this time, negotiating peace with the Kingdom of Jin and Xixia was no different from betraying the country for survival. Half of the officials in the court strongly opposed it, and the remaining half were half silent and half approving.
The Yan family was dragged into the vortex, and the whole day's court meeting was almost full of officials scolding Mrs. Yan, but unfortunately, none of the Yan family went to court today, and this was the reason why everyone was even more angry.
Taifu Yan has not been in court for a long time, but Yan Du is a second-rank official. This person is also absent, obviously to shirk responsibility, so as soon as the court meeting is over, some officials are annoyed to go to Yan's house to smash the door.
The Great Zhou Dynasty was a strange country. Those in power were afraid of the people’s rebellion, but they were not afraid of their speech. Therefore, the people could even smash rotten eggs at the gate of the palace without any crime, as long as they did not use iron tools to demonstrate at the gate of the palace.
Officials can shout that the emperor is a fool, or fight in groups in front of the emperor. It is not new to run to the minister's house and smash the door because of anger.
Back then, Prime Minister Qin tried his best to promote the peace talks between the Great Zhou and the Kingdom of Jin. After the land was given away and the New Year coins were given away, many officials threw rotten eggs into it. There is no way.
So angry officials rushed to the gate of Yan's house.
The gate of the Yan family was closed tightly, and a censor was the first to smash the door, howling angrily, because the Yan family was a family of scholars and rites, and Taifu Yan and Yan Du had always supported General Yuan and other generals in their claim to recover the country. The leaders of the Qingliu, everyone was even more unacceptable to Yan Taifu's "rebellion", so they were very excited. Some officials even fell to the ground in the street, crying: "Teacher, you ruin my great week!"
The censor knocked on the door and cried: "Teacher, please give us an explanation, why did you betray the country and ask for peace? Half of my country was stolen by the Kingdom of Jin, and now the southwest area has also fallen into the hands of Xixia. Do you want to ignore those people? Come out and give us an explanation!"
The common people didn't know exactly what happened, but it didn't prevent them from watching the excitement. It was the first time they saw so many officials crying in the street, and they all stood aside curiously.
A carriage stopped by an alley, and a stalwart man stopped beside the car, and said respectfully: "My lord, the imperial doctor sent by the emperor has not come out, and none of the servants of the Yan family have come out since yesterday." , extremely strange."
Qin Xiang slightly opened the curtain, looked at the officials crying on the ground, his expression was condensed, and he snorted coldly: "Idiot," he looked up at the Yan Mansion, and said, "I'm afraid that the letter written by the teacher was ordered by the emperor. , However, this is exactly what I want, and it saves me a lot of effort."
Just as Qin Xiang was about to put down the curtain to let people leave, the door of the Yan Mansion slowly opened. He looked up, his eyes were all white, his face was stunned, and then his complexion changed drastically, and he leaned out out of composure, "Teacher..."
Everyone in Yan's family stood inside the door in mourning clothes, and the officials outside the door were still in tears, which immediately frightened the people inside.
Yan Du's eyes were red as he watched his colleagues who were kneeling, sitting, standing, angry, sad, or annoyed at the bottom of the steps slowly kneel down. Yan Fu and the descendants of the Yan family behind him also knelt down and kowtowed to the people outside the door. head.
Yan Du choked up and said, "Father, my father passed away last night."
There was silence inside and outside the door, Yan Du's throat was dry and tears flowed, he said: "Father said that negotiating peace with Jin Kingdom Xixia is an act of disloyalty, filial piety, benevolence and unrighteousness. I am sorry to the ancestors of the emperor, and I am sorry to the common people of Li. , It pushed the Yan family into an unrighteous place. However, Da Zhou is now full of wars, but only by ensuring the stability of the border can the universe be stabilized. My Da Zhou will not perish. I hope that my colleagues will be merciful and tolerant. "
After all, he kowtowed his head again.
An official kneeling on the ground murmured, "After the peace talks, can I really keep Da Zhou?"
The voice was not loud, but everyone heard it in the silence. Everyone was suspicious in their hearts, and they stared blankly at each other with everyone in the Yan family, feeling at a loss for the future.
The demonstration at Yan's house ended in this way, but instead of feeling relieved after venting, the officials who left felt even heavier, as if a stone was blocked in their hearts.
And the Yan family also hung up the white flags and formally organized the funeral of Taifu Yan.
Not many people came to the funeral, only a few relatives and a few students of Taifu Yan came, and Prime Minister Qin also came in person. He respectfully kowtowed three times in front of Taifu Yan's spirit, and did not talk to Yan Du and others. Talk more and leave.
Even with Yan Du's explanation, most people still couldn't understand Taifu Yan's note, but the emperor was already preparing to follow the content of Taifu Yan's note.
The officials of the half court opposed it, but Qin Xiang stood up to support it, and mobilized all the forces he could to promote this matter.
The emperor didn't care about Prime Minister Qin at this time, because Xixia's pace was getting faster and faster. Although the rebels were now blocked by Qi Haoran from the Longxing Mansion, there were also small bandits rebelling in other places in the south of the Yangtze River. The emperor had no time to delay up.
After the emperor finally managed to negotiate a peace plan, Taifu Yan was about to go to the funeral.
Mu Yangling sighed, and proposed to the queen that he wanted to go out of the palace to pay homage to Taifu Yan. This surprised the queen, but she couldn't make up her own mind and asked the emperor.
The emperor was only silent for a moment before nodding in agreement.
Li Jinghua didn't go, she stayed to look after the children, she didn't have as complicated feelings for Mrs. Yan as Mu Yangling, in her opinion, it was just a change in the world, and she only saw Mrs. Yan from a distance On the one hand, the impression was not deep, she could not understand Mu Yangling's feelings of crying for him.
Mu Yangling did not agree with Taifu Yan's views and actions, but admired him, admired him for being able to resist this infamy, and admired him for being able to take on this responsibility. On this point, he was much more responsible than Emperor Jingyan.
This alone deserves Mu Yangling's admiration.
If adding the characteristics of this era, Taifu Yan is even more worthy of her admiration.
She is a latecomer. In her opinion, anyone can be an emperor. As long as she has the ability and virtue, she can accept another emperor every day.
But people in this era are not good. In the eyes of Taifu Yan, he is a member of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Only the Guo family is orthodox, so he wants to protect his own country. But in the eyes of Mu Yangling, the people of this world are the people. A country is divided by region and race, not by dynasties, so in her opinion, it is wrong to cede a large area of territory and reduce so many people to second-class citizens in order to preserve a large Zhou Dynasty.
It's just a mistake in the understanding of the times, and she can't use her knowledge of the last six hundred years to correct his thinking.
Mu Yangling put on plain clothes and went to worship Taifu Yan with the funeral.
The Yan family was slightly surprised, because most of the people who came today were people close to the Yan family, or students who still recognized Taifu Yan as a teacher. Even Prime Minister Qin avoided suspicion and did not come, just offering sacrifices on the side of the road.
However, the Qi family and the Yan family don't seem to have a particularly deep friendship. Yesterday, Qi Xiuyuan's urgent document arrived before the emperor's case. He objected to the peace negotiation with Jin Kingdom Xixia. Qi Haoran's paper also arrived two days earlier. He also opposed the peace negotiation Ordinarily, the Qi family should be at odds with the Lord's peaceful Taifu Yan.
Mu Yangling offered incense to Taifu Yan respectfully. Seeing that Yan's family looked at her with doubts, Mu Yangling said in a low voice: "Uncle and Xianggong don't agree with Taifu Yan's point of view, but admire Taifu Yan's character, they will object It is his right to write the papers he submitted, but it will not prevent him from submitting the papers." So those officials clamoring for the Yan family to take back the papers are ridiculous.
Yan Fu was startled, and looked at Mu Yangling with wide eyes in surprise.
