Pei Youxiang gritted his teeth. This damn Dingbei King has made it clear today that he has a problem with him, right?
But on his face, Youxiang Pei smiled and said, "I wonder what your Highness's orders are?"
"Kneel down, kowtow and apologize."
Right Prime Minister Pei's face instantly turned blue, "Your Highness, you are a first-class minister after all. How can you kowtow and apologize to a female family member who has no official position? This... this is really inappropriate..."
Qi Jue interrupted him coldly: "Today is the important day for the funeral of Marquis Yongyi and others. Prime Minister Pei and his people made a noise in front of the coffin, disturbing their heroic souls. He did not kowtow and apologize because he wanted to wait for his dream to come back at midnight.
, are they coming to you to settle this account?"
Although he was asked to kowtow to the coffins of Marquis Yongyi and others to apologize, But Youxiang Pei could not bend his knee, "Your Highness, although today's matter is a little rash, but Marquis Yongyi and others are involved in treason after all.
As an official of the imperial court, I have knelt down to sinners suspected of collaborating with the enemy. If this comes to His Majesty's ears, Your Majesty may not be happy to punish him."
Right Prime Minister Pei is rounding the corner and saying, Marquis Yongyi is a sinner, is he worthy enough to kneel down to the Right Prime Minister?
He refused to kneel down and admit his mistake, and even moved Emperor Zhao out. He was really a shameless old man.
When Qi Jue heard this, he chuckled, "I don't like it. Dealing with you guys who are both snakes and rats, there is so much nonsense."
While speaking, his robe moved slightly and his high boots were raised. Before anyone else could react, he kicked Right Prime Minister Pei hard on the knee.
Prime Minister Pei didn't even have time to shout, he bowed to the ground and bowed to heaven and earth!
Facing the coffin of Marquis Yongyi and others, the man knelt so tightly that he could even hear the bones hitting the ground, and there was a crisp cracking sound!
This kick, let alone anyone else's, even Yan Mingzhu was a little surprised. Is His Royal Highness King Dingbei acting so arrogant and domineering?
Now Yan Mingzhu understands a little bit. No wonder Zhuang Ke is so arrogant on weekdays. It's because he has an even more arrogant nephew.
After all, Youxiang Pei is also a high-ranking Righteous Minister and an important minister in the court. He kicked him when he was told, and he still made the other party kneel down in public. The damage was not great, but the insult was extremely high!
Qi Jue, however, seemed to have just done a simple thing and said calmly: "Since Prime Minister Pei feels that there is gold under his knees, I will reluctantly help you."
After saying this, Qi Jue glanced coldly at the Imperial Guards next to him, "Young Prime Minister Pei has already taken the lead, are you going to just watch the show in silence?"
The Imperial Guards suddenly understood what Qi Jue meant. They were very consistent and without any hesitation, they put down their weapons and knelt down towards the coffin.
"Four coffins, one coffin and three kowtows. How many kowtows are there in total? You don't need me to count them for you, right?"
As a result, a very strange scene appeared at the back door of the Hou Mansion.
Prime Minister Pei took the lead, followed by a group of Imperial Guards, who kowtowed at the coffins of Marquis Yongyi and others. There were four coffins and twelve kowtows, no one more and no less.
When Prime Minister Pei finished kowtowing, the entourage next to him hurried to help him, "Prime Minister, are you okay?"
Pei Youxiang managed to stand firm and greeted Qi Jue's eighteenth generation ancestors in his heart, but then he thought that he would have to go to Jingzhao Mansion later.
If this really happened, wouldn't his old face be completely disgraced?
So he simply rolled his eyes and pretended to faint.
"Prime Minister! Prime Minister! Come here quickly. Prime Minister has fainted. Take him back home for treatment!"
Before the entourage could transfer the people to the carriage, Feiyun took a step forward and blocked it with Hengjian, "Even if Right Prime Minister Pei becomes a corpse today, he still has to go to Jingzhao Mansion."
The entourage looked ugly, "You...don't go too far, our prime minister is also a high-ranking minister after all..."
The long sword was unsheathed in an instant, and the next second it was already on the follower's neck.
Fei Yunyan said concisely and concisely: "If you keep talking nonsense, I will send you and the corpse on the ground to reunite in the underworld!"
The entourage didn't even dare to fart in an instant. At this time, Right Prime Minister Pei also knew that he couldn't pretend anymore and pretended to wake up slowly.
"The truth is...what's wrong? Hey, it seems that I am really old. I can't accept my old age. Your Highness, I am indeed at fault for what happened today. Even if I drag this sick body, I will definitely do it."
Go to Jingzhao Mansion and explain the situation."
Qi Jue hummed lightly, his voice clear but merciless: "Go away, such poor acting skills have stained my eyes."
Prime Minister Pei twitched the corners of his mouth and clenched his fists. He could only hold back his breath for the time being. With the help of his entourage, he climbed onto the carriage in an awkward manner.
Shi Zhen and the imperial guards who had taken action against the Yuan family were also taken to Jingzhao Mansion for questioning.
After all these people were taken away, the senator's wife stepped forward and gave a solemn thank you to Qi Jue in person, "Thank you so much for your help, His Highness King Dingbei, please accept my thanks!"
Qi Jue took a step forward and took the initiative to support the elder's wife, "The Yuan family has been stationed on the border for hundreds of years and has worked hard. Now Yongyihou and other generals are attending the funeral. The heroes' souls should not be disturbed by villains. This is what I should do, Mrs. Elder.
No need to be polite."
The Yuan family was wrongly accused of collaborating with the enemy, and everyone in the imperial capital avoided the Yuan family for fear of getting the slightest bit of bad taste.
Only His Royal Highness King Dingbei not only stood up for them and punished those villains like Youxiang Pei for deliberately making trouble, but also called Marquis Yongyi and others as generals.
This is enough to show his respect for Yong Yihou and others.
Being able to do this is already beyond the reach of most people.
With tears in her eyes, the wife of the elder said solemnly: "Your Highness's great kindness will be unforgettable by the Yuan family forever. If the Yuan family can redress the injustice, they will repay the favor with grass and repay His Majesty's kindness today!"
"My words are serious, madam. It's just a small effort. Now that I'm here, I'll give Marquis Yongyi a ride."
Qi Jue offered to escort the coffins of Marquis Yongyi and others for burial. In Qi Jue's name, no one in the imperial capital except Emperor Zhao dared to make trouble again. The senator's wife naturally understood his intention and said
Thank you.
On the way to the ancestral grave after lifting the coffin, Yan Mingzhu asked in a low voice: "Guard Feiyu, this imperial edict for my grandfather and his corpse to be buried in peace, was it your Majesty's initiative to write it?"
Feiyu first quietly glanced at Qi Jue, who was riding a red rabbit horse not far away, and then whispered to Yan Mingzhu: "How can it be possible? That was something your Highness came to the palace to ask for from His Majesty yesterday.
It’s an imperial edict!
Fortunately, His Highness was thoughtful and requested the imperial edict in advance, otherwise it would be difficult to give a scoundrel like Youxiang Pei a severe blow!"
After saying that, Feiyu added another sentence: "Miss Yan, just swallow your heart in your belly. With His Highness as your escort, I guarantee that no monsters, ghosts, gods or snakes will dare to approach. Marquis Yongyi and the others will be buried with peace of mind."
