"Don't worry, Lord Hou, I will definitely bring Shen Guang and Sun Simiao back." Niu Jinda bowed loudly.

"If you can't do anything, you can give up Sun Simiao for your own safety." Wang Junlin thought for a while and added further.

"The humble job understands." After Niu Jinda finished speaking, he quickly clasped fists with Wang Sichun, then turned and left together.

After the two left, Wang Junlin came to the door, looked up at the sky, and found that there was no sign of a solar eclipse in the sky.

"Is the historical record wrong? No, maybe because of my appearance, history has been changed, and the time of Queen Dugu's death has been changed. Will there be a solar eclipse?"

"A solar eclipse will definitely appear, but I just don't know when it will appear?"

"Without the appearance of a solar eclipse as an introduction, if Yang Yong wants to make trouble, at least he has to wait until after the empress's funeral. Can I wait until then when I pretend to be sick?"

Wang Junlin muttered to himself with a strange and emotional expression.

…

…

Yang Suzheng was worried about being planted and framed to assassinate Wang Junlin. He was thinking about what price he would have to pay this time in order to calm down in front of Yang Jian. Then he heard Xu Jingzong shouting outside the door: "Duke, Duke , Empress Bin Tian."

Is it the queen's day? Yang Su was stunned for a moment before realizing it. After lingering on her last days, Queen Dugu finally left?

This is not good news for him and the prince, but it is a great opportunity to get rid of his immediate difficulties.

Yang Su didn't have much emotion, only the pros and cons.

However, soon Yang Su only felt that another boulder was placed on his heart. From now on, the most honorable person in the palace is the emperor Yang Jian, who is suspicious of all civil and military ministers. He also supports Yang Guang. As the crown prince, Yang Jian's idea is not very firm.

…

…

The bells of the temples and Taoist temples in Beijing rang together, announcing to all the people in the world that the queen died in the palace.

With the sound of a bell piercing the clouds and cracking rocks, more than half a million soldiers and civilians in Daxing City came out of their houses one after another, counting the number of bells ringing.

For more than a year before, due to the empress's serious illness, the assistant ministers often prayed to heaven and earth, ancestral temples, shrines and shrines in the capital. In the prefectures, counties, and counties where there are traces of fairy tales, the local governors, prefects, and county magistrates are ordered to burn incense and pray. Men and women in Beijing who have no money to buy degree certificates, so much so that they have been boys, boys, and novice monks for more than ten years and cannot be shaved, are also given degree certificates by special decree.

As for all the slightly famous doctors in the world, Buddhist and Taoist eminent monks, famous outsiders, and Renrui who have lived to be over eighty years old, etc., Yang Jian ordered all states and counties, I found quite a few and sent them to Kyoto. Even Sun Simiao, known as the genius doctor and the king of medicine, also came to the capital.

But all of this failed to save Queen Dugu's life. They have been disturbed for four to five hundred days, including the battle with Tuyuhun and the Turks in Yongzhou last year. During this period, the imperial palace was always in a hurry until Queen Dugu came to Bintian today.

One of the two founding sages of the Sui Dynasty, Dugu Jialuobintian, a generation of virtuous queens, naturally had to hold a funeral in the style of a national funeral, and according to the regulations, no music was allowed.

As soon as the funeral begins, it will last for nine consecutive days. This is because of the hot weather. If it is in winter, there will be a full eighty-one days. Moreover, this is the queen's tomb. However, if the queen's tomb has not been placed, then the time of suspension will be even longer.

Since it is a national funeral, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty in Kyoto have to participate. Wang Junlin was spared not to participate because he was dying of serious illness.

…

…

On the ninth day, which is also the last day, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the royal family, and the clan paid homage to the Empress Dowager. The emperor and courtiers went to the Shenju Palace as usual, and the censor was in charge of picketing and impeachment. Su Wei, the doctor of the censor, was watching in the palace to see if any official violated the etiquette.

Shang Shuling has been empty since Gao Ying was dismissed. The most powerful left servant, She Yang Su, was dressed in mourning and led the officials to worship. Although Yun stopped the court, the court ceremony in the Shenju Palace was the same as the ritual system of the usual court.

Shangshu Youpushe, Prince Shaobao, and Yushi Dafu Suwei sat behind the gate of the palace, watching every move of the courtiers in the palace, and the pair of eyes of his subordinates were also like eagles. From the robes to the attire, no detail is spared. Clothes are part of the etiquette system, and any mistake represents disrespect to the Empress Dowager. Everyone knew that the emperor must be in a bad mood at this time, and anyone who dared to show disrespect to the dead Queen Dugu in such a scene would definitely be in bad luck.

But at this time, Emperor Yang Jian was not in the main hall, and neither were the chief officials of the six departments of the three provinces except Su Wei. They were all discussing matters in the side hall with Yang Jian. Although it was said that they were quitting court, it was just that they did not go to court. After all, in a huge empire, there are too many political affairs to be dealt with every day, and some things can be put aside for a while, but Some things cannot be delayed.

The Nanping barbarian rebellion in the Minshu area was put down by Zuo Tunwei General Mai Tiezhang, and these Nanping barbarian territories were completely brought under the rule of the Sui Dynasty. But the area is not small, and the imperial court has decided to establish a new county named Nanping County.

In addition, the newly restored land needs governance, immigration, land reclamation, and appeasement of the barbarian natives, which urgently need a lot of financial, material and manpower, which requires the court to raise money and manpower for this purpose. The establishment of Nanping County also represented more official positions, more credit, and more opportunities for promotion, which attracted many officials who cared about their affairs. There were many people who tried their best to rush up to get acquainted, even Wang Junlin, who claimed to be recuperating at home, some people came to his door, begging him to speak a few words in front of His Majesty.

The establishment of a series of civil and military officials in Nanping County, and the defense of the garrison, these things should be done sooner rather than later. It is just about the appointment of the three main officials of Nanping County, Chang Shi, and Ying Yanglang in the morning. The debate in the court was fierce, and there is still no conclusion.

However, today's topic will not be limited to this matter. Su Wei glanced at the side hall of the Shenju Palace, his expression was a bit complicated. As early as five days ago, he had noticed an unusual force secretly connecting Prepare to impeach Yang Su, including nearly one-third of the censors under his command.

Su Wei is naturally extremely annoyed that the officials under his command impeached Yang Su and other figures he could not provoke without his consent, but the mysterious figure who can quietly link up so many officials in the DPRK and China, He thought he couldn't afford to offend him, not to mention that he had quietly checked the history of the censor who impeached Yang Su this time. Promoted and placed in Yushitai.

It's just because time has passed too long, so except for Su Wei, an old minister who is in charge of the Yushitai and is known for his cunning, no one else has noticed this. And with Su Wei's character, he would never tell anyone about his discovery unless he had to.

So, today, he used the picket hall to pay homage to officials whether they violated the etiquette system, and deliberately avoided the storm in the side hall next to him.

However, Yang Su dared to send someone to use the eight-ox crossbow and strong crossbow in the army to openly assassinate a frontier general, the Marquis of the Republic, on the streets of the capital. This mistake was a bit serious.

It doesn't matter if you find someone to kill Wang Junlin. For example, you can send dead men or hire green forest heroes. As long as you don't leave any evidence, it's nothing to an important minister like Yang Su. However, the nature of using the eight-ox crossbow and strong crossbow in the army privately, and the Hou government has obtained conclusive evidence and evidence, is completely different. What's more, this was a deliberate plan by someone, so naturally they would not miss this opportunity to bring down Yang Su.

There are only more than 20 censors in Yushitai, and one-third of them have impeached Yang Su because of this matter. Among them, the wording was sharp, saying that Yang Su mobilized the eight-ox crossbow and the strong crossbow without authorization to shoot and kill the loyal heroes who were loyal to the court, with the intention of treason. If the wording is slightly euphemistic, it is said that Yang Su used power for personal gain, deceived the king and ignored him, and was domineering.

Multiple censors jointly impeached one person. This is the first time such a situation has occurred in Yushitai since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, after the three provinces and six ministries formulated the imperial program. Because since Gao Ying was demoted to a commoner, Yang Su has been regarded as the number one person in the court today, and if Yang Su falls, the group of officials who depend on Yang Su will definitely start to suffer.

In principle, the purpose of entering the Yushitai is to supervise the officials for the emperor, and not to be afraid of offending others. Therefore, it is said that the supervision of the censors is to choose young officials with a little reputation but low qualifications to take advantage of their youthful vigor. Going forward, suppressing the powerful Zaifu for the emperor. But there is a limit to being young. Basically, they are all in their 30s and 40s, and they must have at least five or six years of official career to be eligible.

In a few days, Yang Su seemed to be the target of public criticism. Tomorrow, there will be more people impeaching Yang Su.

The censor can influence the impeachment direction of the supervisory censors to a certain extent, but he has no right to interfere or prevent their impeachment. Su Wei doesn't want to offend Yang Su, but he can't prevent the following censors from being impeached by other people. Instigated the impeachment of Yang Su, not to mention that he had a bad reputation in the official circles of the Sui Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, and he couldn't control the censors below.

Su Wei sighed deeply with emotion on his face.

However, Su Wei was wrong. At this time, no one in the side hall impeached Yang Su, or it was not his turn to do so.

How could Yang Su have no arrangements, so under the guidance and arrangement of Yang Su and his minions, after the discussion on the matter of Nanping County in the Minshu area was completed, they began to discuss and finalize the matters related to the funeral of the queen who died of illness. It's more complicated, one after another, and it won't be time to talk about Yang Su's matter for a while.

However, Yang Jian was out of his mind when he heard the courtiers report on the queen's funeral preparations.
