Chapter 388: What I drink is decapitation wine, and what I do is joy in suffering.

Author: Leng Qingshan

As soon as these words came out, the entire Dayan Temple seemed like a huge boulder crashed down.

Everyone's minds were shaken to the point of being shaken, and some even opened their eyes wide in surprise and screamed, but were immediately stopped by the people around them.

Some people know this news, and some people don't.

But whether you know it or not, once you say it, and say it in front of so many people, it is destined to be an irreversible situation.

Shang Ruyi's face turned pale again.

But this time, she did not face the person who asked the question, nor did she face the surprised and disdainful eyes around her, nor did she look at Yu Wenyuan, who was also shocked but always calm. She just slowly

He turned his head and looked at the Main Hall.

There, the doors and windows are still closed.

Even the wind can't blow in.

I don’t know if the people inside can hear this sentence; I don’t even know how the people inside will feel when they hear this sentence.

Shang Ruyi watched quietly for a while, but the door never opened.

There wasn't even any vibration in the biting wind, as if the people inside had lost their reaction, and Shang Ruyi slowly turned his head, and when he faced the people around him, he took a deep breath.

No matter what mood the people inside are in, no one dares to intrude, but she is different. She still needs to face the people in front of her, and even face the world.

At this time, Zhou Ying had already sneered: "Why, the young lady can't answer it?"

Shang Ruyi calmly raised his eyes to look at him and said: "As long as you tell the truth, there is no question that cannot be answered."

Zhou Ying said: "Then, Madam, please tell the truth."

Shang Ruyi said: "After that, I did go south to Jiangdu Palace."

Zhou Ying immediately sneered. This sneer was so sharp that it almost hurt everyone's ears. He said: "Why? You don't clearly think that going south to the Yangtze River is not good for the country and the court, so why do you go against your own wishes?"

"..."

"Since you went to Jiangdu Palace, can we think that what you said before was actually just a cover-up?"

Ji Hong on the side also frowned.

Shang Ruyi glanced at him, but did not panic. He only said calmly: "I went south to Jiangdu Palace because the situation at that time changed."

Zhou Ying narrowed his eyes: "What has changed?"

Shang Ruyi said: "At that time, Dongdu fell."

"...!"

Upon hearing these four words, everyone was shocked again.

Without waiting for them to calm down and think again, Shang Ruyi immediately said: "Your Majesty's march south to Jiangdu is different from his march south to Jiangdu after the fall of Dongdu."

"..."

"Before Dongdu fell, going south to Jiangdu was just a parade; but after Dongdu fell, still going south to Jiangdu was not a parade, but abandoning Luoyang, the eastern capital, and giving up the court, the country, and the people in the north!

"

"..."

"So, I went to Jiangdu to use my little power to advise His Majesty and request Your Majesty to return to the Eastern Capital and put an end to the rebellion."

Someone next to him immediately sneered and said, "This kind of thing has nothing to do with you."

Shang Ruyi glanced at the man sideways from the corner of his eyes. Not only his eyes, but also his actions were full of contempt and contempt.

She said: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world."

"..."

"At that time, although Ruyi had not yet been granted a title, he was not like those of you who had taken advantage of the emperor's salary. He should have taken care of the emperor's worries as a matter of course. However, he could do everything he could with his meager efforts, and he could speak his words of loyalty to the emperor."

The people around him were immediately speechless.

You know, everyone knows that it is wrong for the emperor to go south to Jiangdu Palace, and it is even more of a big mistake to go south to Jiangdu when Dongdu has fallen. And for this kind of big mistake, ministers in the court should go to dissuade and correct it, just like

At that time, Ji Hong knelt down outside the Daxing Palace, weeping and crying, which is what Shang Ruyi said - eating the emperor's salary and worrying about the emperor.

However, the officials in Dongdu at that time obviously did not do this.

And Shang Ruyi's words slapped almost everyone in the face who wanted to eat the emperor's salary!

The man's face turned red at what she said, and he couldn't help but lower his head, hoping to find a crack to get in.

Shang Ruyi did not "take advantage of the victory" to say anything to him. Instead, he turned to look at Ji Hong, who looked complicated, and said softly: "Master Xiao Ji also died in this matter. I believe Master Ji has something to do."

Hear it.”

Ji Hong's eyes gradually turned red.

Although he was devoted to the country and the public, it did not mean that he did not care about the death of his own son. On the contrary, behind the joy that his son died in the right place, it was also the most helpless sorrow for him as an old man.

But he didn't say anything. He only raised his head to look at Shang Ruyi. He saw that Shang Ruyi was calm but with a bit of sadness. He said softly: "When I was in Jiangdu, Mr. Xiao Ji was a Nayan, and he didn't write to the late emperor every day.

, admonished the late Emperor to regroup, send his army northward, return to Luoyang and recapture the Eastern Capital. This is the fact that Mr. Xiao Ji cares about the country and disregards life and death, and this is something I admire very much."

"..."

"Master Ji, your son is just like you, a true national scholar!"

At this moment, hearing these words, even a strong-minded person like Ji Hong felt a little shaken.

A little tear filled the cloudy eyes, and finally fell slowly. Ji Hong choked and said: "Yes, yes..."

When they saw Ji Hong crying, although the people around him were filled with indignation before, at this time, some people actually couldn't bear it.

They looked at each other, all lowered their heads, and some even started to back away.

But at this moment, someone in the crowd said coldly: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. What Mrs. Yuwen said is indeed correct. It can be regarded as your answer to Master Zhou's question just now."

Shang Ruyi raised his head and saw a tall man walking over.

It was none other than Meng Wei, the captain of Zhechong.

This man was a military commander, different from Ji Hong and Zhou Ying. His tall body was like a mountain. When he walked in front of Shang Ruyi, the shadow he cast immediately enveloped her whole body.

He sneered and said, "However, the young lady seems to have only answered half of Mr. Zhou's question just now."

"..."

"You said that you went to Jiangdu Palace to persuade the late Emperor to send his army north and retake the Eastern Capital. Then why, instead of going north, did the late Emperor spend time with you in Jiangdu Palace day and night, drinking and having fun?"

"..."

"Are what you said and what you did really the same thing?"

As soon as he said these words, some strange looks immediately appeared on the faces and eyes of the people around him.

In this world, the most despicable thing, but also the most attractive thing, is the unethical relationship between men and women. Once entangled in such rumors, everyone will be trapped in the whirlpool of public opinion and cannot extricate themselves.

What's more, it's the late Emperor Chu Yang!

His romantic and affectionate nature is known to the whole world. Even during the siege of Yanmen County, there were some unsavory rumors with this young lady Yuwen. Although they were suppressed later, but now they mention it again, the two of them

There was even a period of unknown interaction in Jiangdu Palace, which seemed to confirm the previous rumors.

If so——

Everyone's eyes gradually became frivolous and contemptuous, and these eyes not only looked at Shang Ruyi, but also some people began to look at the two tall figures behind her.

Yu Wenyuan, and Yu Wenye!

Shang Ruyi's heart suddenly sank.

Although she knew she would face this problem sooner or later and was prepared when she first spoke, when she actually faced it, she still felt an indescribable dull pain in her heart. She looked back at this moment -

—Sure enough, a layer of frost had already formed on Yu Wenyuan’s face.

He is an elder with a broad mind and loves and cares for the daughter of his old friend.

But who can accept his daughter-in-law doing such a thing?

What's more, when Chu Yang hugged him in front of everyone in Yanmen County, this incident also caused an uproar. Although Yu Wenye cleverly covered it up, it must have left a mark in Yu Wenyuan's heart.

A little shadow.

If I mention it again now, I'm afraid he——

Shang Ruyi couldn't help feeling panic in his heart, and subconsciously looked at Yu Wenye.

But he still stood there, not only motionless, but not even a word or a look.

As if completely aloof.

At this moment, even though he had told himself long ago that he should face these things by himself, he still couldn't help but think in his heart - is this the "I will" he said?

Shang Ruyi's eyes suddenly felt uncontrollably hot, as if something was rising up regardless of her, almost filling her eyes, or even about to drip down. She hurriedly turned her head and swallowed hard.

The surge of pain and sorrow in my heart also suppressed the burning heat.

No matter what, you have to face it by yourself.

What he promised is his business, but what he said must be fulfilled!

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi took a deep breath and looked at Meng Wei. His voice was slightly gravelly and he said: "Master Duwei only knows that Your Majesty is drinking and having fun in Jiangdu Palace. Do you know that drinking?

What kind of wine is it? What kind of music are you making?"

"...!?"

Meng Wei was startled, but he didn't know the meaning of her rhetorical question.

Even the people around him looked surprised, but Shang Ruyi said calmly: "I can tell you."

"..."

"The late emperor was indeed drinking and having fun in Jiangdu Palace."

"..."

"However, what I drink is decapitation wine, and what I do is joy in suffering."

Originally, everyone was still stuck in the frivolous and obscene way of exploring personal relationships between men and women. Suddenly, when they heard these words, their almost despicable thoughts seemed to have been forcibly stripped away and exposed to the broad daylight.

Next, everyone suddenly felt an indescribable sense of shame.

And the word "decapitated" fell heavily on Ji Hong's heart.
