After Xu Qi'an is startled slightly, the look is suddenly sharp, is staring at the middle-aged official, the sinking sound said: „This joke is not funny.” 许七安微微一怔后,眼神骤然锐利,盯着中年官员,沉声道:“这个玩笑并不好笑。” Those words listen in his ear, seemed saying: Your father died. 那句话听在他耳里,就仿佛在说:你爸死了。 If did not understand that the Principal Bulwark Wang character, Xu Qi'an even thinks Principal Bulwark Wang is provoking him intentionally, because just knows that Principal Bulwark Wang will not do that he is angrier, is more puzzled, is drearier. 如果不是了解王首辅的性格,许七安甚至以为王首辅是在故意挑衅他,但正因为知道王首辅不会这么做,他才更加愤怒,更加困惑,更加阴郁。 The middle-aged official lowers the head slightly, the sound is low and deep, wooden saying: 中年官员微微垂头,声音低沉,木然的说道: „Duke Wei died in battle in Shaman God Cult headquarters Jing Mountain City, 100,000 armies, only withdraw more than 16,000 people ......... 800 li (0.5 km) urgency, tonight just arrives.” “魏公战死在巫神教总坛靖山城,十万大军,只撤回一万六千余人.........八百里加急,今晚刚到的。” Then, for a very long time has not been responded, this middle-aged official lifted the pupil to look at one, saw a pallid face. 说完,久久没有得到回应,这位中年官员抬眸看了一眼,看到一张煞白的脸。 „Your majesty and gentlemen Court Meeting, must discuss this matter today, following military report will also arrive in Beijing ............ the words to bring one after another, that this official first walked...” “陛下和诸公今日朝会,必会商议此事,后续的塘报也会陆续抵京............话已带到,那,本官先走了。。。” After he bows in salute, turns around to depart. 他作揖之后,转身离去。 ............ ............ „Squeak .........” “吱.........” Zhong Li hears the sound that the door shoves open, blurry looking up of looks at one, seeing was Xu Qi'an came back, then felt relieved continued to sleep. 钟璃听到房门推开的声音,迷迷糊糊的翘起头看一眼,见是许七安回来了,便放心的继续睡觉。 Senior Sister Zhong pays great attention to the oneself sleep very much, this and woman insufficient sleep senile will not have related, is mainly if her sleep is insufficient, may cause some bursty diseases, for example myocardial infarction, sudden death. 钟师姐很注重自己的睡眠,这和女人缺觉会衰老没关系,主要是如果她睡眠不足,可能会导致一些突发性疾病,比如心肌梗塞、猝死等。 In that case, the life and death only in a minute, the Directorate of Astronomy spirit pill marvelous medicine not necessarily takes with enough time. 那样的话,生死只在片刻间,司天监的灵丹妙药都未必来得及服用。 Naturally, this situation is a few, but Senior Sister Zhong experiences richly, how understands to protect oneself, will not make oneself place oneself the so dangerous situation. 当然,这种情况是少数,但钟师姐经验丰富,懂得如何自保,不会让自己置身如此危险境地。 The sky shone quickly, Zhong Li of resting moment wakes up fixed time, somewhat lazy sits sets out, stretches floats has to raised the mature tender body, she was shocked suddenly ......... 天很快亮了,小憩片刻的钟璃定时醒来,有些慵懒的坐起身,舒展浮凸有致的成熟娇躯,她忽然愣住了.........

After all this is the big crime that must decapitate, cannot allow to make a mistake. 诸公本能的不相信这个事实,可是八百里加急的军事塘报,大奉立国六百载,从未出错。毕竟这是要杀头的大罪,容不得出错。 Yuanjing Emperor looks at this scene silently, not happily not sad. 元景帝默默的看着这一幕,无喜无悲。 Waited for a long time for a long time, in the clamoring sound until the main hall subsides, he expression painful saying: „Are Sirs, this matter, supposed to do?” 等了许久许久,直到大殿内喧哗声平息,他才表情沉痛的说道:“众卿,此事,如何是好？” Is Principal Bulwark Wang responds as before, he is harsh, loud and clear: 依旧是王首辅回应,他语气强硬,掷地有声: „Feudal official felt, should assemble various state troops, at the troops of whole nation, command the troops Northeast, unites Monster and Barbarian, quells Shaman God Cult at one fell swoop.” “臣觉得,应该调集各州人马,以举国之兵力,挥师东北,联合妖蛮,一举荡平巫神教。” Yuanjing Emperor sighed: „Great Feng has lost about 100,000 troops, that is Our people, Our child, Cherished Official Wang, how do you make Us be cruel enough to open the war again?” 元景帝叹息道:“大奉已损失近十万人马,那都是朕的子民,朕的孩子,王爱卿,你让朕如何再忍心开启战事？” „Your majesty!” “陛下！” Principal Bulwark Wang raises the sound, agitated saying: 王首辅拔高声音,情绪激动的说道: „ According to military report shows, Wei Yuan has contributed Jing Mountain City, Shaman God Cult loses frigidly, headquarters expert buckle about 70%. Yan Country bored a hole through the center by the army, the city that attacking army has reached the city, these are difficult to gnaw now, had been hit by Wei Yuan. “据塘报所示,魏渊已经贡献靖山城,巫神教损失惨烈,总坛高手折损近70%。炎国被大军凿穿腹地,兵临城下,如今那些难啃的城池,已经被魏渊打下来。 „Jing Country, in the north goes on an expedition several months, the loss is serious, there is northern Monster and Barbarian to divert. At present the military preservation still calculates complete only has Kang Country. At this time hits again, within hundred years, the Great Feng descendants do not have the trouble of Shaman God Cult again.” “靖国在北方征战数月,损失惨重,又有北方妖蛮牵制。目前兵力保存尚算完整的只有康国。此时再打一场,百年之内,大奉子孙再无巫神教之患。” His suggestion, won the approval of some meritorious noble and military commander. 他的建议,赢得了部分勋贵和武将的赞同。 Wei Yuan put together up the Shaman God Cult national strength, contributed headquarters, hindered the flame of Great Feng army to cross the strategic pass not to exist. This is the chance of a lifetime. 魏渊拼光了巫神教的国力,贡献了总坛,阻碍大奉军队的炎过险关不复存在。这是千载难逢的机会。 „Cherished Official Wang......” “王爱卿......” Yuanjing Emperor beckons with the hand, sincere saying: „Engaged in wanton military activities.” 元景帝摆摆手,语重心长的说道:“穷兵黩武了啊。” Principal Bulwark Wang looks is occupying dragon throne Emperor high, opens mouth, drew back low-spirited. 王首辅望着高居龙椅的皇帝,张了张嘴,黯然的退了回去。 His draws back, the wheel of history shifted to another direction. When the people of later generation look back into this phase of history, analyzed Great Feng and Shaman God Cult national strength, after contrasting loss of both sides, thinks this time Great Feng, if can be cruel-hearted, will put together the national strength over the next several years, will go to battle with Shaman God Cult. 他这一退,历史车轮转向了另一个方向。后世之人重新回顾这段历史时,分析了大奉和巫神教的国力,对比了双方的损失后,一致认为此时的大奉,若是能狠下心来,拼上未来十几年的国力,出征巫神教。 Then Shaman God Cult this is majestically located a Northeast 60,000 li (0.5 km) landscape several thousand years of colossus, will collapse loudly, is difficult the potential. 那么巫神教这个雄踞东北六万里河山数千年的庞然大物,将轰然坍塌,再难起势。 The people of innumerable later generation sigh with regret. 无数后世之人扼腕叹息。 As for that azure clothes Army God that lays down one's life in Jing Mountain City, the appraisal in history book is: Continued the one breath for the Central Plain. 至于那位捐躯在靖山城的青衣军神,史书中的评价是:为中原续了一口气。 Yuanjing Emperor no longer looks to return Principal Bulwark Wang of team, then takes a fast look around the whole body of ministers, „gentlemen felt how this matter does settle?” 元景帝不再看退回队伍的王首辅,转而扫视群臣,“诸公觉得,此事如何善后？” Ministry of War High Official leaves ranks, bows in salute saying: 兵部尚书出列,作揖道: „ Feudal official believes, must from reassign 20,000 military with various Xiāng, Jing, Yù three state neighboring states, the deploying troops boundary, the withdrawn remnants of defeated troops also stay in three state borders, to guard counter-attack of Shaman God Cult. “臣认为,应当从与襄荆豫三州相邻的各州抽调两万兵力,陈兵边界,撤回的残部亦留在三州边境,以防巫神教的反扑。 „Moreover, Duke Wei has laid down one's life, your majesty must send people of the series army in addition in the past.” “另外,魏公既已捐躯,陛下还得另派一位统军之人过去。” Yuanjing Emperor looked at his one eyes, saw him not to continue, then nodded the head said: „Cherished Official Chen said is really.” 元景帝看了他一眼,见他没有继续说下去,便颔首道:“陈爱卿所言甚是。” At this time, Ministry of War Deputy Minister Qin Yuandao left ranks, said: „Your majesty, if advocates peace, that this/should discussed the relevant issue as soon as possible, confirmed that dispatched the northeast peace talks envoy.” 这时,兵部侍郎秦元道出列,道:“陛下若是主和,那就该尽早商议相关事宜,确认派往东北的和谈使者。” Ministry of War Deputy Minister Qin Yuandao is the steadfast emperor sends, with was reduced to Censorate Chief Censor of the Right Yuan Xiong to wear the same pants, two people are the core figures who the emperor sends. 兵部侍郎秦元道是坚定不移的帝派,与被贬为都察院右都御史袁雄穿同一条裤子,两人是帝派的核心人物。 As Wei Clique Ministry of War High Official, stared Qin Yuandao wickedly. 作为魏党的兵部尚书,恶狠狠的瞪了一眼秦元道。 He deliberately does not raise the peace talks, is in the innermost feelings, but also saved with a Shaman God Cult war, is thoughts that Wei Yuan revenges. 他刻意不提和谈,是内心里,还存了与巫神教一战,为魏渊报仇的心思。 Yuanjing Emperor nods slowly: „Friendly.” 元景帝缓缓点头:“善。” After Qin Yuandao homing, Ministry of Revenue High Official is following close on leaving ranks, said: „Should comforting and aiding a bereaved family of soldiers, how decide?” 秦元道归位后,户部尚书紧跟着出列,道:“士卒的抚恤,该如何定夺？” Such remarks, in the palace falls into the deathly stillness. 此言一出,殿内陷入死寂。 For a long time no one spoke. 很长时间都没有人说话。 Yuanjing Emperor said slowly: „Various Sir/minister intentions how?” 元景帝缓缓道:“诸卿意向如何？” Asked continually three times, no one dealt. 连问三次,无人应对。 Yuanjing Emperor looks at the vision to Yuan Xiong, the loyalty of this Emperor „retinue”, the vision dodges, keeps silent. 元景帝又把目光望向袁雄,这位皇帝的忠心“扈从”,目光闪躲,不言不语。 Pension matter, related to the matter is very big, very greatly. 抚恤金这件事,涉及到的事很大,非常大。 According to the Great Feng regulation stipulated, the infantry died in battle, gives the family member three years of sum total soldier's rations and pay 36 dan of rice, converts silver, is 182. Then lifelong, the moon/month gives 3-6 fights of meter/rice. 按照大奉律法规定,步兵阵亡,给予家人三年全额军饷36石米,折算成银子,就是18两。而后终身,月给3-6斗米。 The cavalries died in battle, to 72 dan of rice, converting silver is 362, then lifelong, the moon/month gives 6-10 fights of meter/rice. 骑兵阵亡,给72石米,折算成银子是36两,而后终身,月给6-10斗米。 In turn upward, the different branch of the services, the different government positions, the given pension is different, strict rules and regulations. 依次往上,不同兵种,不同官职,给的抚恤金都不同,都严格的规章制度。 In addition, a rule , is to make court gentlemen fall into the deathly stillness the reason: 此外,还有一条规则,也是让朝堂诸公陷入死寂的原因: Defeats, comforts and aids a bereaved family to cut in half! 战败,抚恤减半！ Ministry of Revenue High Official proposed that the issue of pension, the pension is only the surface, the back involves, makes gentlemen be cautious about harming evildoers lest the innocent be hurt truly, determines the nature of as this campaign. 户部尚书提出抚恤金的问题,抚恤金只是表面,背后牵扯的,真正让诸公投鼠忌器的,是为这场战役定性。 This war, is the victory, is the defeat? 此战,是胜,还是败？ Silent, Principal Bulwark Wang leaves ranks, said painfully: „Wei Yuan captures Shaman God Cult headquarters, holds the beginning of Great Feng history, this war, is my Great Feng wins total victories.” 沉默中,王首辅出列,沉痛道:“魏渊攻陷巫神教总坛,开大奉历史之先河,此战,是我大奉大获全胜。” At the scene, some people responded, some people pondered, some people were sorrowful. 当场,有人响应,有人沉思,有人悲恸。 Yuanjing Emperor nods slowly, has not responded to Principal Bulwark Wang, but said: 元景帝缓缓点头,却没有回应王首辅,而是说道: „We was somewhat deficient, this matter is important, tomorrow will reconsider.” “朕有些乏了,此事事关重大,明日再议。” old court eunuch high sound said: „Draws back toward!” 老太监高声道:“退朝！” ........... ........... „Bang bang .........” “砰砰.........” The gate of room made a sound worn out two, appears the person who knocks on a door somewhat is also spiritless. 房间的门有气无力的响了两下,显得敲门的人也有些死气沉沉。 Today rested Second Uncle Xu that washed to wake, looked at the pillow the sleepy face tender gruff wife, the knock not loud, therefore has not awakened her. 今日休沐的许二叔醒过来,看了看枕边睡容娇憨的妻子,敲门声不响,所以没有惊醒她。 Second Uncle Xu cultivation base, outside the hair has the slightest sign of trouble, wakes up immediately. 许二叔的修为,外头稍有风吹草动,就会立刻醒来。 He leaves the warm bedding, threw over clothes, arrives at outside the room to open the door. 他离开温暖的被窝,披了件衣服,走到外室打开门。 „Ningyan?” “宁宴？” The entrance is standing the nephew, he is unemotional, in the foreheads is congealing drearily. 门口站着侄儿,他面无表情,眉宇间凝结着阴郁。 Second Uncle Xu sinks at heart suddenly, he too understood that this nephew, a nephew's look, an tone, Second Uncle Xu can get an idea nephew's idea. 许二叔心里陡然一沉,他太了解这个侄儿了,侄儿的一个眼神,一个语气,许二叔都能意会出侄儿的想法。 Knows the child to be better the father, suffers great hardships the foster to grow up, with child what strange/different. 知子莫若父,含辛茹苦抚养长大,与子何异。 „second uncle, tidies up immediately, goes to Yunlu Academy. Goes to there, first, first evades.” Xu Qi'an said in a soft voice. “二叔,立刻收拾一下,去云鹿书院。去那里,先,先避一避。”许七安轻声道。 Second Uncle Xu deep looks at he, „good!” 许二叔深深的看着他,“好！” Xu Qi'an nods, turns around to knock the gate of Room Li Miaozhen. 许七安点点头,转身敲开李妙真的门。 The white skirt like the snow, a pupil paint, the lip such as deep red, Su Su of charming gorgeous onee-san image opens the door, tender sound said: „What matter!” 白裙如雪,眸似点漆,唇如点绛,妩媚艳丽御姐形象的苏苏打开门,娇声道:“什么事呀！” Puts on elegant dao robe, Li Miaozhen that the black hair pulls sits near the table, is drinking tea, slightly is stuttering the cakes and pastries. 穿着飘逸道袍,青丝挽起的李妙真坐在桌边,正在喝茶,小口吃着糕点。 Xu Qi'an has not responded her, the vision passing over gently and swiftly beautiful woman, looked to Li Miaozhen, said slowly: „I want to go to a Northeast border.” 许七安没搭理她,目光掠过美人儿,望向李妙真,缓缓道:“我想去一趟东北边境。” Li Miaozhen stares, the doubts said: „Do you also want to go to war?” 李妙真一愣,疑惑道:“你也要去打仗？” Xu Qi'an shakes the head slightly, said: „Duke Wei, died in the battlefield.” 许七安微微摇头,道:“魏公,死在战场上了。” The Li Miaozhen complexion stiffens suddenly, the cakes and pastries in hand fall in the place. 李妙真脸色陡然僵住,手里的糕点掉落在地。 She has gotten back one's composure at once, somewhat anxious looks at Xu Qi'an, because she knows, at present this man, to Wei Yuan is what kind of faith and respect. 她旋即回过神过来,有些紧张的看着许七安,因为她知道,眼前这个男人,对魏渊是何等的信赖和尊重。 Knows that Wei Yuan in him, the graciousness is heavy like the mountain. 更知道魏渊于他,恩重如山。 Suddenly, she does not know how should open the mouth to comfort, any words of comfort, at this kind of time, appeared false sympathy of having no immediate concern to oneself. 一时间,她不知道该如何开口安慰,任何安慰的话,在这种时候,都会显得是事不关己的假慈悲吧。 Xu Qi'an said gently: 许七安轻轻道: „I do not believe that I do not believe him to engage in a decisive battle dead, therefore, invited to lead me to go to the border. If ........ he really died.” “我不信,我不信他会战死,所以,请带我去边境。如果........他真的死了。” He stopped the moment, the eye as if blurred: „He is childless, no one makes funeral arrangements, I must go, I must go ........” 他停顿了片刻,眼睛似乎模糊了一下:“他无儿无女,没人送终啊,我要去,我得去........” Li Miaozhen feels like a knife twisting in the heart: „Good.” 李妙真心如刀绞:“好。” ........... ...........
