The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 452 is up
So the three of them began to win over the powerful deputy governors who controlled Feiyuwei and other powerful figures under them.

Changsun Ji went out of the palace gate, looked in the direction of the prince's room, took a deep look with his eyes, and then rushed to the Changsun's courtyard with his personal guards. with.

Changsun Ji didn't expect such a result from entering the palace this time, but it seemed that he was making a fuss over a trivial matter.

After getting into Feng Waner's carriage and turning the carriage back, Changsun Ji briefly told Feng Waner what happened in the carriage recently, comforted Feng Waner, and then gave up.

After returning to the other courtyard, Changsun Ji simply tidied up his appearance outside, and then went to Liu'anhou Mansion, and after reporting Gao's safety, Changsun Ji inquired about Changsun Lianyi's body. About the death, but Gao didn't know much about it, and Changsun Ji didn't find out why.

When he returned to the Changsun Bieyuan again, Changsun Ji observed secretly. The spies who were originally in the Changsun Bieyuan had been withdrawn. Changsun Ji had fun in the bitterness, and even praised the prince for his efficiency.

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed. During these three days, Changsun Ji did not contact Changsun Lianyi's old department in various parts of the capital. Although he was a little anxious, he was not overwhelmed by emotions. What is not clear, if the news of Changsun Lianyi's death spreads, it is uncertain how many of the old ministries would still be willing to say a good word for Changsun.

Even if everyone is willing to speak for the Changsun family, Changsun Ji thinks that it is not a good thing, because it will not help him, and it will appear that his Changsun family is very powerful in the court, and he may intercede It will make the prince or Emperor Yan think that this is forcing the palace, which will make it easier to push the Changsun family to the end.

Therefore, Changsun Ji stayed in Changsun's courtyard for three whole days very honestly, as if to see guests behind closed doors.

Just today, Changsun Lianyi's body was transported to the capital. Changsun Ji walked more than 20 miles out of the city to welcome him back.

In fact, Changsun Ji was not too surprised by this result. From the time when he tested Changsun Lianyi's attitude towards Emperor Yan, the outcome of today's matter has been determined, and it is only a matter of time.

After setting up the mourning hall, it was already afternoon. Changsun Ji knelt in front of the coffin in filial piety. Before entering the city, he checked Changsun Lianyi's body. Apart from losing weight, Changsun Lianyi looked fine. The wound, it can be said that there is not even a scar.

Because he didn't want to disturb Changsun Lianyi's deep sleep, Changsun Ji didn't harm Changsun Lianyi's body, and he didn't see any traces of poisoning in Changsun Lianyi by virtue of his foreign minister.

If it wasn't for the stinking smell of Changsun Lianyi's body, Changsun Ji thought he was just asleep.

Looking at Changsun Lianyi's coffin, Changsun Ji was in a daze, until Wang Gang walked in from the door and whispered softly in his ear: "My lord, someone from the palace is here, and they are outside the door."

Changsun Ji nodded, stood up with Wang Gang's support, and then walked towards the door. Apart from the door, Changsun Ji saw a eunuch standing at the door. There were two or three little eunuchs on both sides of the eunuch. One of the little eunuchs He was also holding a tray with a yellow scroll in it.

When your eldest Sun Ji came out, the eunuch rushed to meet him. When Chang Sun Ji saw the eunuch's appearance, he realized that this eunuch was an acquaintance, and it was the Eunuch He who came to announce the edict when Feng Wan'er gave birth.

Before Changsun Ji could speak, Eunuch He said sadly, "General Changsun, please give me condolences and keep your health."

Changsun Ji smiled lightly, but did not speak.

Seeing Changsun Ji like this, and knowing that the other party was in pain, Eunuch He didn't say much. With his status, he was not qualified to offer incense to Changsun Lianyi, so he didn't delay. After saying a few words , and began to proclaim the decree.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: Changsun Lianyi, my think tank, followed me in the southern and northern wars all his life, and made great contributions to the Great Yan court. Although I suppressed the rebellion in the northern expedition, he was sick when he was successful. , and passed away."

"I am deeply saddened that Liu'an has left me. I have lost a friend, and Dayan has lost a pillar."

"My order: posthumously present the eldest grandson Lianyi as a loyal and filial marquis, confer Gao's first-rank imperial wife, the eldest son, the eldest grandson Ji, inherits the position of Marquis of Liu'an, and is promoted to the general of Zhendong. Reward a thousand pieces of silk and satin, and ten thousand taels of gold. The second eldest son, Sun Huang, is Renxinbo , the eldest son of the third son Zhiyong Zhibo. I respect this."

Changsun Ji thanked him for his order and accepted the order.

Eunuch He smiled and handed the imperial decree to Changsun Ji, and said softly: "General Changsun must take good care of his body, and must not be overly sad. His Majesty is still waiting for the general to put down the chaos for the court and expand the territory for Great Yan."

Changsun Ji took over the imperial decree: "Thank you for your father-in-law Ji Yan, I should have prepared a banquet to treat my father-in-law, but because my father just passed away, I hope my father-in-law will forgive me."

After finishing speaking, Changsun Ji told Wang Gang who was behind him: "Wang Gang, you give the little thing in my room to Eunuch, and take good care of Eunuch for me."

"Hehe, General Changsun is too polite. If that's the case, then I won't bother General Changsun." Hearing that he wanted to take advantage of it, Eunuch He cupped his hands at Changsun Ji with a smile on his face.

Changsun Ji made a confession, and then returned to the mourning hall.

Not long after Changsun Ji received the imperial decree, Changsun Ji received another notice that the prince was coming.

As for the prince, Changsun Ji naturally did not dare to treat him lightly, so he went out to welcome the prince all the way to the mourning hall, and after the prince had offered incense, he talked with the prince for a while before sending the prince out.

The prince's visit this time was not a big deal, he just came to offer incense to the grandson Lianyi, and comforted the grandson Ji by the way.

After the prince left, Changsun Ji hosted many officials one after another, most of whom were colleagues and some students of Changsun Lianyi.Even some political enemies sent people over to offer condolences.

Changsun Ji didn't pay too much attention to this. Changsun Lianyi's funeral was very low-key, but no matter how low-key, according to Changsun Lianyi's status, it will take three months to finish Changsun Lianyi's funeral after.

For Changsun Ji, this trip to the capital was safe and sound, and things have always been developing in a good direction.

But how did Changsun Lianyi die? Since the court said that Changsun Lianyi died of a disease, he died of a disease. Although Changsun Ji was deeply suspicious of this, he dared not say anything, let alone Dare to investigate.
