For a time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were as silent as a cicada.
Even the old minister, who just burst into tears and remonstrated, could not say a word.
They have all been trained in the officialdom, so they can't guess what the emperor is thinking:
Feng Danyuan was brought out by the emperor. His great military exploits over the years are there. The emperor is also a mortal, thinking about old feelings;
But Feng Danyuan was imprisoned in the heavenly prison. This is also an explanation from the emperor to the ministers and the world. He has reused a prince from Northern Xinjiang, but whether the prince from Northern Xinjiang is dead or alive, he will handle it impartially. According to the cloud
Deal with the law.
So in the end the ball was kicked back to the ministers:
If you ask me to deal with Feng Danyuan, then find a reason for me; if there is no reason, I can only let Feng Danyuan go.
When there was silence in the court, the young eunuch outside the hall hurried in and knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty, Si Tianjian has something important to report."
"Passed." On a cold winter day, the emperor noticed a stain of sweat on the young eunuch's forehead, and his eyes darkened.
The little eunuch hurriedly ran out again, and soon Eunuch Si Tian walked in with a booklet, knelt and kowtowed in front of the emperor: "Your Majesty, the purple star has been hidden for several days, this is an ominous sign!
"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court, which had been completely silent just now: Ziweixing is the star of the emperor, and what Ziweixingyin represents is self-evident.
The emperor's face became stern and he ordered Lu Zheng: "Zhezi."
Lu Zheng quickly walked down the steps, took the book from Qin Tianjian and presented it to the emperor.
The emperor finished reading it carefully, closed it, and asked coldly: "Why did you come to report this matter today?"
Si Tianjian was replying: "The light of Ziwei star has been weaker than the surrounding stars for three days. I wanted to find out the reason and then report it to Your Majesty. But who knew that Ziwei star was not seen at all last night, so I had to come and report to Your Majesty."
State the matter."
As soon as the supervisor finished speaking, the old minister who had just admonished him shouted: "Your Majesty, this must be the fault of the remnants of Northern Xinjiang! Your Majesty, you must not tolerate adultery, you should make a decision early."
"Your Majesty, please make an early decision!"
"Your Majesty, please make an early decision!"
...
The civil servants of the DPRK bent down and kowtowed one after another.
General Yulin Qianniu looked at the emperor and then at the civil servants who were kneeling on the ground. He gritted his teeth and asked: "Master Jianzheng, I dare to ask: Is Ziwei Xingyin because of Northern Xinjiang and King Chen?"
The reason?”
Jian Zheng replied: "About half a month ago, a northern star collided with the Ziwei star, and then the Ziwei star disappeared. I boldly guess that this matter must be related to Northern Xinjiang."
General Yulin Qianniu opened his mouth, but could not speak.
He could question Si Tianjian, but he could not question the collision of the northern stars with the Ziwei star and the disappearance of the Ziwei star.
It was about imperial power, what else could he say?

In Prince Yan's palace, Wei Zi received a reply from Queen Yunyao through Aunt Zhou: There is no need to enter the palace, let's meet in person.
"Princess Chen, the time set by your Majesty is the quarter of Xu."
"Okay, I'll go on time."
Wei Zi arrived at the agreed place a quarter before Xu Shi.
It was cold underground. She hugged Mrs. Tang, but she still felt the cold air seeping into her body from her collar, cuffs, and soles of her feet.
Aunt Zhou Wei Zi was trembling slightly, so she took off her cloak and wrapped it around her.
Wei Zi smiled gratefully at her and said, "Mommy gave me the cloak. How can I keep out the cold?"
"I'm a martial arts practitioner, so I'm not afraid of the cold. But Princess Chen, you should take care of yourself."
Although it was cold underground, it was not that cold. Wei Zi was wearing a lot of clothes, so why was it so cold? Grandma Zhou was vaguely puzzled.
