I really don't want to be a traitor

Da Chu Kingdom, Pengcheng, Fan Mansion.

The mourning hall was set up and white flags were hung.

Today, Fan Li officially holds funeral arrangements for Yan Yuan.

In front of Fan Mansion, there are carriages and horses like dragons and guests like a sea.

In the capital, all officials of fifth rank and above, all kinds of clans, nobles, royal relatives, and nobles, both without official titles and nobility, were present.

"Yan Yuan is a famous Confucian in Lucheng, and the Marquis of Wenxin, Lu Chunqiu, is a scholar."

"Yuan has been reading since he was a child, and he has early wisdom. He is good at reciting at the age of four, composing poems at the age of six, and can write at the age of eight. When he falls, he is famous for his erudition."

"His works, such as "Sincere Thoughts", "Good Questions", and "Seeking Truth", although they are not the words of a sage, they encourage learning and enlightenment. These three articles are recognized as the best in the world."

"Marquis Wenxin once said that Yuan can pass on my knowledge."

"..."

In the mourning hall, Fan Li's voice was calm, but it was still mixed with some sadness.

Beside him on the right side, Lu Fubao was wearing sackcloth and mourning. His eyes were red and swollen, and tears fell from his eyes from time to time.

Yan Yuan, an orphan from the war, was raised by Lu Chunqiu. The two were called master and apprentice, as close as father and son.

Lu Fubao and Yan Yuan are as close as brothers and sisters.

Under the mourning hall, all the civil and military officials of Great Chu were silent, listening intently to the eulogy written by Duke Jin himself.

This article is called "Essence on Commemorating Yan Fuzi".

When the guests listened to the entire "Essays on Sacrifice to Yan Fuzi", they couldn't help but have the same thought in their hearts:
"This article has a refined structure and simple and sincere diction."

"Although it is not as gorgeous and exaggerated as traditional sacrificial texts, it is people with integrity and emotion."

"It is truly a new style of writing that carries forward the past and opens up the future...it can be passed down to future generations!"

Regardless of the mood of the guests, Fan Li still focused on chanting.

This short memorial article came to the end very quickly.

"Woohoo, words are limited but love can't end. Is it evil for you to know? Is it evil for you not to know? Alas! Good food!"

After saying this, a breeze blew through the mourning hall.

The breeze blew against the face, and some of the guests shed tears when listening to the memorial service. They felt that the breeze blew away the traces of tears and their sorrow.

Everyone was shocked!

Nowadays, everyone with a certain status in the Great Chu Kingdom has heard that the Duke of Jin, although his cultivation level is low, has the appearance of a great Confucian!
Can a sacrificial article alarm ghosts and gods? !
The breeze just now seemed to be the ghost of Yan Yuan, thanking all the guests present today! ?

"The imperial edict arrives~~~~~~~~~~!"

Suddenly, there was a sinister singing voice. It was the voice of Eunuch Chen, the general manager.

Fan Li frowned and stood sullenly in front of Yan Yuan's coffin with his hands folded, without kneeling down.

"Declaration!"

Eunuch Chen glanced at Fan Li and saw that he had not yet knelt down.

The old eunuch felt depressed and had no choice but to sing another line to remind Fan Li and the guests to kneel down.

The guests knelt down sparsely, but Fan Li still stood with his hands behind his back.

Eunuch Chen: "Eunuch Jin... I want to announce an edict for Master Yan. You see..."

"My father-in-law has declared that I will not hinder you." Fan Li said calmly.

The corner of the old eunuch's mouth twitched, thinking to himself, if you don't kneel down, how can this imperial edict be majestic?

Helpless, the arm could not twist the thigh.

Today, although the personal strength of the old eunuch who is in the Hedao realm is still far superior to that of Fan Li, anyone standing next to Fan Li can easily take the life of Eunuch Chen.

Eunuch Chen slowly began to announce his decree.

The content of the imperial edict was very simple. It was just to grant Yan Yuan some official titles in accordance with Fan Li's request.

In the imperial edict, there is not even a single sentence of condolences from the king to his ministers.

When Eunuch Chen finished reading, Fan Li sneered.

well.

Xiang Chong, are you shameless?

"Eunuch Chen, have you finished reading the imperial edict?" Fan Li suddenly said.

"Ah...right." Eunuch Chen said in shock.

He even shouted "I appreciate this" just now, so of course he has finished reciting it.

"Humph!"

"Dark Lord!"

In front of Eunuch Chen and the noble ministers of Chu, Fan Li scolded him directly.

Foolish king? ? ?

Eunuch Chen thought he was hallucinating!The guests all over the place were excited when they heard the lengthy imperial edict. They were almost drowsy, but they suddenly became energetic!
what's the situation?
Is Duke Jin going to rebel?

Although it may have happened sooner or later, it was really a bit sudden!

"Mr. Jin, be careful what you say!" Eunuch Chen said nervously.

He also doubted that Fan Li was going to rebel today?

If this is the case, there must be a lot of swordsmen ambushing around the mourning hall, right?
I was just delivering the imperial edict as a routine matter, but I didn't want to be chopped into pieces.

Eunuch Chen swallowed and thought about the chances of him taking action immediately to capture Fan Li as a hostage.

"Be cautious?"

Fan Li sneered.

He grabbed Xiang Chong's imperial edict and commented in a disdainful and sarcastic tone.

"The country has lost a great sage. Is this your Majesty's reaction?"

"In the entire article, there is not a single word of condolences or regret, or any regret?"

"Yan Yuan died for the sake of the country. The enemy is at large and the blood feud has not yet been avenged!"

"Your Majesty issued such a heartless and unjust edict, do you want the world's wise men to abandon me, the great Chu?!"

After saying that, Fan Li threw the imperial edict heavily in Eunuch Chen's face!
Scold the emperor?
Break the edict!
What Fan Li did was simply unimaginable!

Eunuch Chen was shocked and angry, but in the end he was only afraid!
"This, this, this...Fan Li really wants to rebel?" He wanted to take action now.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

Next to Fan Li, Wu Zui, dressed in black and with a white cloth around his waist, stood unknown.

In front of the mahayana realm's national guardian beast, the old eunuch is not much stronger than an ant.

"Is Wu Zhui the divine beast that protects the country of Chu, or is it Fan Li's personal beast?"

The old eunuch was extremely depressed.

suddenly!

He felt a warm and moist sensation coming from the sole of his right foot again.

When he looked down, he saw a furry little thing squatting next to his boots and peeing? ? ?

Eunuch Chen was furious!
Even the pets raised by Fan Mansion don't take him seriously?

This little beast...

Eunuch Chen was about to have a fit when he saw Wu Zui bending down and gently holding the furry cub into his arms.

"Tuantuan is good."

Judging from Wu Zhui's tone, he was actually praising this little beast? !

"What Duke Jin did today was extremely inappropriate!"

Eunuch Chen got angry.

He did not dare to take action against Fan Li, but relying on his status as the emperor's envoy, he also wanted to argue with Fan Li using his eloquence.

"I don't know whether Yan Yuan is a great sage or not."

"But when he entered the court, his official position was only subordinate to Taichang Temple, and his salary was only more than a hundred dan."

"With such an official salary and salary, it shows that his talents are limited?"

"Jin Gong is making too much fuss..."

As he spoke, Eunuch Chen's voice became softer.

Because, he felt that Fan Li's gaze contained anger and contempt.

"By you?"

"A mere chamberlain in the palace, a domestic servant who serves food and daily life, is also worthy of the talents of the officials of the previous dynasty?"

In one word, Eunuch Chen was so ashamed that he felt ashamed!

"It would be a shame to His Majesty that Mr. Yan's talents are not reused in Da Chu!"

As if to confirm Fan Li's words.

Outside the mourning hall, a servant suddenly announced loudly.

"The Emperor of the Han Dynasty sent envoys to mourn Mr. Yan Yuan!"

"The Emperor of Wei sent envoys to mourn Mr. Yan Yuan!"

"The Emperor of Wu sent envoys to mourn Mr. Yan Yuan!"

"Lucheng, Wenxinhou Lu Chunqiu, together with 71 disciples, pays homage to his beloved disciple Yan Yuan!"

Guests are commotion!

Eunuch Chen was shocked!
However, just when the old eunuch thought that was the end, the last song came.

"The Pure Land of Sanskrit Sound, the Supreme Holy Lord Yaoguang is here to mourn Mr. Yan Yuan!"
