Chapter 524： loyal traitor

   It is undeniable that Yan Du and Yan Fu felt warm in their hearts at this time, Qi Xiuyuan and Qi Haoran were full of goodwill.

Although the attacks on the Yan family by officials and commoners have decreased a lot because of his father's death, they have also been ignored.

I used to make good friends, most of my relatives broke up, and I didn't even attend the funeral of my father.

Nowadays, the Qi family, who has always been infrequently visited, comes to pay homage, which is naturally much more precious.

The Yan family sincerely thanked Mu Yangling by bending over slightly, and Yan Fu said, "Ren Qi Gong, thank you for Yan and General Qi."

Mu Yangling nodded slightly and walked out of Yan's house. She looked back at Yan's house, which was surrounded by all the elements in the whole house. She thought, how long can Da Zhou support without such a pillar?

Will the powerful Xixia Conference agree to make peace?

Mu Yangling, who came out of Yan's house, couldn't stay outside for a long time. Almost as soon as he went out, he was invited to the palace by the accompanying palace maids.

But Fan Zijin already got the news, he was silent for a moment, then said: "Call someone to set up a road sacrifice on the way to the funeral, and hang the label of the Fan family."

Yanmo was stunned, and said, "I'm afraid I'll be angry when the master knows."

Fan Zijin sneered, "Then change it to my name, let's go, hurry up, and make sure it's done before the funeral."

Research ink should be down.

The street was a little quiet, but there were only six houses that set up road sacrifices along the entire street, including the white banner sacrifice shed of Qin Xiang's family standing far away, Yan Mo sighed, and chose a place to order someone to put up the shed and set it up. offerings.

Mrs. Yan was a legend all his life. The Yan family was a family of poetry, books and rituals, so he studied early and was very talented. He was a high school jinshi when he was only twenty-one years old, and he became an official in the dynasty. Ranked in the second rank, the speed of promotion was the highest before General Yuan and Qi Xiuyuan came out.

Besides, he is a civil servant, and civil servants are notoriously slow in promotion.

He stayed in the position of the official second-rank official for eight years. After that, he was dismissed because of his great efforts to fight against the Jin war, and then he was reactivated. He persuaded the late emperor to take a tougher attitude toward Jin and assisted Li Zhengye to break down the massive attack of the Jin kingdom.

In the time of the late emperor, the three major attacks of the Jin Kingdom were blocked by Taifu Yan and Li Zhengye. Such great achievements made him a prime minister before he was 50 years old, and then quickly retired to teach at the Guozijian.

It was not until the Jin Kingdom attacked again, and the princes seized the throne in a melee, and the frontline was retreating, and the former emperor died of serious illness, and he came back to power.

At that time, the Great Zhou Dynasty was chaotic. The princes who accompanied the army died and fled. The remaining princes in Chang'an City were also in civil strife. Taifu Yan found a different way to put Duke Qin, the grandson of Duzong, on the throne, who is now Emperor Jingyan.

As soon as Emperor Jingyan came to power, he disregarded Taifu Yan's persuasion and insisted on moving the capital to Lin'an City, and for this reason gave up half of the country in the north. This is also the reason why people and some officials denounced Taifu Yan. Mrs. Yan chose the son of the late emperor. Will Da Zhou be better? At least there will not be the embarrassment of only owning half of the country, making so many people second-class and being oppressed by the Hu people.

However, Taifu Yan has always been the main battle, and he has sheltered the generals such as General Yuan. He is also opposed to extravagance and corruption, so he has a good reputation among the people and Qingliu. In addition, he has always been in power since he arrived in Lin'an City, and then he was even more He has served as the chief examiner of Chunwei for many times, and has been the teacher of Jinshi and the officials in the past two decades.

Before coming to Ancheng, Mrs. Yan was already full of peaches and plums. For example, today, Qin Xiang, Fan Siwen, have all taken his lessons, Qin Xiang, Fan Siwen, Qi Feng and others are even more in him. I passed the exam when I was the chief examiner.

There are countless students and a respected elder who passed away, but the funeral is deserted, and there are only a few odd-numbered road festivals, which is not without sadness.

It is precisely because of the small number of people that Fan Zijin's road sacrifice was set up, and everyone came to see it. Except for Prime Minister Qin, the people who came to set up the road sacrifice were all students who still respected Master Yan in their hearts. Jinshi, who had nothing to do with it, also came to offer sacrifices, and felt angry and uncomfortable. Even a yellow-haired child knew to respect Taifu, but those who had been taught by Taifu personally misunderstood him.

It can be said that the people who will come to the road festival, most of them belong to Mrs. Yan's brainless fans, and when Fan Zijin hurried to deal with the affairs at hand, he received some friendly nods.

Fan Zijin responded politely with some confusion. Seeing that the shed was just set up and the white flags had not had time to hang up, he hurriedly hung the white flags up by himself. It would be better to pay attention to the impression of the people here.

The Yan family's funeral team came from a distance in a low-key manner. Although the people were angry, fortunately no one was making trouble at the moment. Fan Zijin followed the Yan family's team to Yongfu Temple outside the city. The Yan family wanted to send Mrs. Yan away. He was buried in his ancestral place, so the coffin could only be temporarily stored in Yongfu Temple.

Qin Xiang plunged into the study when he returned from Yongfu Temple. No matter what, he wanted to grab the errand of Neihe and he must facilitate the peace talks.

His staff was puzzled by this, "Sir, even the Yan family can't stand gossip. At this time, if you go too deep, I'm afraid it won't be good."

Qin Xiang said indifferently: "This matter has its own concerns, you just need to draw up a set of peace talks with me."

Qin Xiang snorted coldly in his heart. It was because of the great contrast that the Yan family received such a big backlash. However, he had been reconciling from the very beginning, and he had already been stigmatized as a "traitor". People hate him even more, and there won't be much backlash.

"My lord, the matter of peace has already been decided in the court, just wait for the emperor to send someone. You took the initiative to take this job, didn't you take all the infamy?" The staff still couldn't help but persuade, after all Mixing with Qin Xiang, they can only be better when he is healed.

Qin Xiang frowned displeasedly, "Go as soon as you want to go, where is there so much nonsense?"

The staff choked and could only resign in resignation.

Qin Xiang stared at the pen holder on the desk in a daze. If it was possible, he would not take the initiative to take this errand, but in order to save his life and the Qin family, he had to do this.

Taifu Yan advocated for peace for the sake of Da Zhou. He was also for Da Zhou, but the fundamental purpose was to keep the Qin family.

The Qin family can survive only if Da Zhou is there. Otherwise, it is better to fall into the hands of the Hu people than to fall into the hands of the rebel army.

If Da Zhou died at the hands of the rebels, I am afraid that the Qin family will be the second family to be cleaned up after the royal family. After all, he was still too young and energetic before, and he did not think about it properly. Otherwise, there will be no worries now.

But who would have thought that the emperor would make such a foolish move, completely igniting the bandits in the entire Da Zhou, turning them from bandits into rebels, and forming an alliance.

Otherwise, with his support, Da Zhou would have no problem to persist for another thirty or forty years. By then, the Qin family will have accumulated enough capital, and they can resign and return to their hometown. Who can remember the quiet Qin family?

Unfortunately, everything is ruined now. He can only try his best to deal with Xixia, hoping that Da Zhou can turn the tide. If it doesn't work, he can also help Xixia or Jin Guo to divide Da Zhou. As long as the domestic rebels are wiped out, the Qin family will still have the road to survival.
