At this time, several ministers with a hot temper could no longer help and stepped forward and said, "Imperial Concubine, Your Highness! We are ministers of the court, not slaves. It is unbearable to lock us up here to deal with these trivial matters!"

As soon as I saw someone starting, the person behind me immediately stood up.

"Yes, we are court officials, not slaves."

"Treat us like this, we don't treat us ministers as human beings!"

"We won't do it anymore!"

Seeing that everyone started to make trouble again, Zhu Chengxuan was originally a little soft-hearted towards them. At this time, he quickly stepped forward, blocked Nan Yan's face, and said in a deep voice: "What are you going to do? Are you going to rebel?"

When he saw him stand up, some court officials were a little hesitant.

After all, the incident of King Wei killing Ge Yunli three days ago is still vivid in my mind. Now that he is like this, he is afraid he will attack the court officials again.

Yan Gu looked at Zhu Chengxuan and said heartbrokenly: "Your Highness, does Your Highness still have to attack the old ministers and others?"

"you"

Just when Zhu Chengxuan was almost angry with them, Nanyan took a step forward.

Although her face was a little heavy, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and it looked like she was smiling, but that smile made people feel chilled.

"Everyone, don't be impulsive."

She said, looking at Yan Gu, and said slowly: "Mr. Yan, Your Highness, Your Highness, just want to persuade everyone to calm down. As an old minister of the three dynasties, Lord Yan has served more than one emperor. How could he put a hat on the King of Wei like this?"

“…”

Yan Gu was stunned.

He did say that just now on purpose to King Wei and everyone, so that he could press him with a hat.

But the imperial concubine's words made her face flushed.

Nan Yan said calmly: "I know that you are a little dissatisfied. However, I and His Highness the King of Wei are leaving you in the palace for everyone's safety."

"Safety?"

Someone in the crowd said, "Nothing happened in the city, what are the dangers?"

"On the contrary, we stayed in the palace, and our lives were unknown, and our family was worried about death!"

"It's dangerous to stay in the palace."

Nan Yan glanced at them coldly, Zhu Chengxuan frowned and said softly: "Imperial Concubine, let me?"

Nan Yan shook his head gently at him and signaled him not to be impulsive.

Just now, the King of Wei was obviously worried that these courtiers would start attacking them in groups, just like what Ge Yunli did a few days ago. However, the two things were different. At that time, Ge Yunli was attacking the imperial concubine and arousing public anger to catch fish in troubled waters. But now, they locked the courtiers in the palace for three days. As Yan Gu said, there was no such precedent in all dynasties.

They are unreasonable.

If the court officials are killed at this time, it will really arouse their injustice, and they are afraid of death. However, there is also the aura of a scholar-official official who is not afraid of death. If they arouse their mentality, the situation will be really difficult.

At this time, you have to give in.

So, Nan Yan said, "Everyone, I understand your thoughts. However, it is already dark, the palace gates are closed, and the nine internal and external gates have been closed long ago, and there is a curfew in the capital. If you are allowed to leave the palace now, it will inevitably cause riots. The patrol soldiers will not care who you are. If something really makes a mistake, wouldn't it be the loss of the court?"

When she said this, it was as if these courtiers would be killed by mistake once they left the palace.

Everyone hesitated for a moment.

Then Nanyan smiled and said, "So, I promised you that I will let you leave the palace tomorrow."

“…”

"But tonight, everyone feels wronged and stays here."

Everyone, look at me, I look at you.

Finally, Yan Gu said, "What the Empress says is like, one word?"

Nan Yan said: "Of course."

Yan Gu said: "Then, okay. Early tomorrow morning, as soon as the palace gate opens, we will leave the palace and go home. I hope the empress will not break its promise."

"certainly,"

Nan Yan smiled and said, "So, even if we have made up our minds? If you are idle tonight, you might as well deal with these small things. You don't have to go to court tomorrow. Everyone goes home and have a good rest for two days."

When everyone heard her say this, they were comforted. Everyone walked back to the table and sat down. Tingfu also brought people to distribute the documents that reported the trivial matters to everyone.

At this time, Zhu Chengxuan walked behind Nan Yan.

He whispered: "Empress, do you really want them to go back tomorrow? But General Luo didn't say that it might be possible tonight."

Nanyandao: "I know."

“…”

"If something happens as he said, then they want to go back tomorrow and dare not leave."

Zhu Chengxuan glanced at everyone and nodded gently.

At the same time, under the dark night sky, Luo Qitong stood on the city tower, and the bitter wind whistled, making him frown.

But he couldn't leave at all.

Inside the city wall gate, there are all ordinary people crowded under the city tower, and now hundreds of people have gathered.

Although a curfew has been announced in the imperial city, none of these people retreated tonight. They were also worried that the officers and soldiers would force the people to go home and would cause chaos in advance, so they could not do it casually.

These people were guarding the city gate.

In summer nights, if they don’t want the cold wind in winter, these people gathered at the city gate and kept shouting loudly, as if they were saying that if they didn’t open the city gate tomorrow, they would have to break through something.

There were many monks in the crowd.

Seeing them like this, Luo Qitong frowned.

What he was most worried about was not these people, but also outside the city gate separated by a wall.

Today's night is particularly deep, and there is not even a star in the sky.

Since they discovered that a smoke and dust rose from the other side of the mountain during the day, until the sun set and everything around them fell into darkness, they saw no movement again.

Of course, not without it.

It is very likely that the other party will not let them see it. They are all familiar with the dark night marching, and it is very likely that the night attack will follow.

That's why he asked the court to mobilize a large number of troops to guard the city gate.

The night wind whistled, and there seemed to be a little uneasy in the sound of the wind, which made everyone feel uneasy.

Luo Qi Tong said: "If you send the order, everyone will not be able to rest tonight. Even if you are taking a nap, you will doze with one eye on me!"

"yes!"

After the order was passed, the soldiers guarding the city suffered a lot, but there was nothing they could do. Everyone knew that the emperor was in a coma and the situation in the city was unstable. If the Chinese people were not stupid, they would definitely take this opportunity to attack Yan Kingdom.
