556. Chapter 556 The cold palace is no longer cold 4
That day he came to General Zhan's mansion as usual. The soldiers guarding him blocked him out as usual, saying that General Zhan did not want to see guests.
Normally, Qingmu would leave after arguing for a few words and seeing that the soldiers were unwilling to let go, but today, he was determined not to give up until he reached the Yellow River.
He was a frail scholar with no strength at all, and the guns of the two soldiers easily blocked him from the outside. However, he still tried to rush in, struggling while shouting inside: "Old General Zhan,
The late emperor passed away, and the country cannot live without a king for a day. You are a veteran of two dynasties and have high moral standing. I hope that General Zhan can come forward to stabilize the situation! General Zhan..."
No matter how much Aoki shouted, General Zhan never showed up. The soldiers next to him stepped forward and "invited" Aoki to the bottom of the steps. Aoki couldn't stand firmly and fell to the ground.
In fact, the soldiers still admire the minister Qingmu who works in all weathers every day. He has been rejected so many times and still perseveres. It's just that General Zhan specially ordered not to let outsiders enter and not to embarrass Master Qingmu too much.
This really made the soldiers a little distressed. They couldn't either invite or fight him, so every time Aoki-sama behaved unusually, they had to gently "invite" him to the bottom of the steps.
Aoki didn't give up and simply knelt on the ground with an upright voice: "Old General Zhan, Dongfang is currently experiencing domestic and foreign troubles, and many forces are spying on the throne. The prince is smart and is the best candidate for the throne. I hope the general can help the prince ascend the throne!"
He kowtowed heavily on the ground several times, and soon his head was broken. However, there was still no movement in the general's mansion, and General Zhan had no intention of coming out.
Kneeling from sunrise to sunset, Qingmu's throat was hoarse from the roar, but no one came out. Fortunately, the Zhan Mansion was secluded, so it did not attract the people. Otherwise, the uninformed people would have thought that General Zhan had done harm to others.
.
As night gradually fell, Aoki finally couldn't hold on due to the wound on his forehead and not eating for a whole day. His face turned pale and even his lips were blistered. He staggered a few times and fell to the ground.
Inside the mansion.
How long Qingmu had been kneeling outside, how long General Zhan had been sitting in the room. Qingmu didn't eat, and neither did General Zhan. It wasn't that he wasn't moved by Qingmu's persistence, but he really had his own problems.
difficulties.
And thinking of what Qingmu shouted outside, General Zhan was both pleased and angry. Since ancient times, ministers have formed cliques, and who didn't whisper in secret, how can there be anyone like him shouting on the street? Such a character, sooner or later
It's a loss. But the old man really likes Aoki's character. He is used to seeing hypocrisy in the officialdom. It is rare to have such a loyal minister who truly cares about the country. It is really a blessing for the Eastern Kingdom.
The housekeeper reported to the general that Qingmu fainted outside. General Zhan sighed. He was really helpless about Qingmu. He ordered the housekeeper to give him some water, and then sent Qingmu back to the house.
No more content.
The next day, Qingmu did not go to the door of General Zhan's mansion to ask for an audience because of his physical weakness. Unexpectedly, General Zhan secretly went to Qingmu's house that night.
