Chapter 432 Mourning Hall
"promise……"

Zhao Ji was a little unwilling, she promised, and stood up, but as a queen mother, she had to help another old queen to leave.

The two empress dowagers have left, and Ying Zheng has no scruples anymore. He waved his hand and shouted: "Everyone, step back, and whoever dares to approach within three hundred steps will be killed without mercy!"

After the words fell, everyone below agreed at the same time, and retreated one after another.

In the end, there were only three people left in the hall, Qin Wangzheng, Guan Nei Hou Yingtian and Princess Yingshuang.

"Shuang'er, back off too!"

The old man opened his mouth and said to Ying Shuang who was beside him.

Ying Shuang was taken aback, and said, "Master, do I want to go down too?"

The old man nodded, and said without doubt: "I have a secret matter to discuss with the king, my daughter's family, I can't participate!"

Ying Shuang pursed her lips, seemingly dissatisfied, but she nodded and retreated.

At this point, the hall was completely deserted, leaving only Ying Zheng and Guan Neihou.

Ying Zheng came to sit down in front of the Marquis of Guannei, cupped his hands and said, "It's not just that the old man has any advice, Zheng'er jingle and listen!"

The old man was silent, as if he had something to say and didn't know how to say it. After a long time, he seemed to have organized his words before he said, "May I ask the king, is there a mourning hall in this Zhangtai Palace?"

Ying Zheng's body trembled suddenly, and his face changed instantly.

For him, the matter of the mourning hall is very secret, except for him and A Yao, no one has contact with it on weekdays.

Even for cleaning, A Yao usually goes to clean it herself.Now that Ayao is gone, he will take the time to clean it every day, and he will not contact others at all, just because he doesn't want people to know where the mourning hall is.

No, the moment Guan Neihou opened his mouth, he brought up the word mourning hall.

"I don't know which country carefully said what it said?"

Ying Zheng is not a fool either, after a little thought, he immediately came to his senses.

What he deliberately concealed, no one who was loyal would dare to pry into it.

Since someone spied on it, it must be someone from another country, not from Qin.

Of course, it is impossible for the Guanneihou to send someone to monitor him, unless the Guanneihou has long planned to rebel, so this news can only come from other countries.

This is purely to sow discord, and Ying Zheng had to fall into the net because of this plan to sow discord.

"Chong!"

Facing Ying Zheng's questioning, suddenly, the old man took out a dagger from his waist and withdrew it violently.

Ying Zheng's eyes were regretful, his body tensed up instantly, and he stared at the old man.

The old man did not attempt to assassinate, but threw the dagger in front of Ying Zheng, saying: "Your Majesty, the old minister came here today, and I never thought about going back!"

"Your Majesty is holding this dagger. The old minister's life is here. Use this life to exchange your Majesty's secret, okay?"

Ying Zheng's heart moved, and he understood.

Sure enough, the old man was really provoked.

But one thing is clear, the old man is not at the mercy of the villain, he just wants to pursue a truth.

At this moment, Ying Zheng was suddenly moved.

I thought that once the secret was revealed, it might attract the suspicion of countless people.

I never thought that today, the first person who asked about it was also the first person who defended and trusted him.

Perhaps the old man was also a little suspicious, but at least the old man came and gave him this opportunity to explain, and at the same time safeguarded his reputation.

Seeing that Ying Zheng didn't speak, the old man continued: "Regardless of whether the mourning hall exists or not, the king will always be the descendant of the Ying family. The Ying family can change the king, but whoever dares to question the king, I will definitely not let it go!"

"Now, He'er is dead. The old man sent him to hunt down Xi Zuo. He shouldn't let him go, let alone question him, and take advantage of it!"

When Ying Zheng heard this, his heart trembled again, and he said, "The old man killed Uncle Ying He with his own hands, because of this?"

The old man nodded and said in a deep voice: "No, this old man is for the reputation of the Ying family. No one can tarnish the reputation of the Ying family, not even a single word. The old man will fight desperately with whoever does it!"

"Now, can the king tell the old man?"

Ying Zheng smiled wryly. Sure enough, it was not accidental that this old man achieved his current status.

It's ridiculous that those secret agents want to use him.

However, it was precisely because of the shrewdness of the old man that Ying Zheng felt an unprecedented pressure.

"That's right, there is a mourning hall, which is the spirit of the widow's father!"

After pondering for a moment, Ying Zheng said.

"Father?"

"Gongsun Hong?"

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to ask.

"That's right, Gongsun Hong!"

Ying Zheng nodded and responded.

"call……"

The old man let out a long breath. At this moment, he seemed to have aged a bit, and his whole body shook.

"Can... can I take the old man to have a look?"

The old man asked with a trembling voice.

Ying Zheng hesitated, and after a long time, he nodded slightly, got up and came to the old man, supported the old man, and walked towards the back of the hall.

……

"Squeak..."

The door of the mourning hall opened, and the old man walked in with Ying Zheng's support.

Looking at the spirit tablet on the shrine in the dimly lit mourning hall.

The old man's eyes froze, and his body froze in place as if stiff.

"Spiritual seat of the father, Sun Hong, Zhao Zhengli!"

"Hehehe...it's really the spiritual position of the father..."

After a long time, the old man smiled, and muddy tears flowed from his eyes.

He took a deep breath and looked up.

At this moment, the sky is completely dark, and the sky seems to be shrouded in darkness, and you can't see your fingers.

Only in this mourning hall, the lights flickered, and some things could be seen clearly.

"No wonder... for the sake of Gongsun, the king can kill the clan!"

"For the sake of a son-in-law, the king wants to live forever with the clan!"

At this moment, the old man seemed to be relieved, but he seemed extremely disappointed, shook his head, and said: "Your Majesty, kill this old man. It's time for this old man to kowtow to his ancestors to apologize!"

Ying Zheng's body trembled suddenly, and he quickly turned to look at the old man.

Is it still a misunderstanding after all?

"Hehehe, the old man also thinks that what he said is true?"

Ying Zheng smiled, a little sadly.

This is not the first time in his life he has been burdened with this kind of infamy.

Back then, before the change of Empress Dowager Huayang's palace, rumors spread everywhere that he was Lu Buwei's illegitimate son.

Now, in order to deal with Qin, the countries have provoked the relationship between him and the clan, and released the news that he is the illegitimate son of Gongsun Hong.

This infamy chilled Ying Zheng, and he laughed angrily.

"The facts are all there, is there any falsehood?"

"In order not to humiliate the clan, the old man implores the king to kill the old man and destroy the mourning hall. From now on, no matter whether the king is in his place or not, my clan will always be safe!"

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly to look at Ying Zheng, sneered, and finally his tone was almost pleading.

The old man is not a king, he is the patriarch of the Ying clan.He does not bear the mission of the world like a king, but what he bears is the honor and disgrace of the Ying clan.

At this moment, he seemed to conclude that Ying Zheng had such a relationship with Gong Sunhong as the rumors said.

But even so, he didn't intend to use this to deal with Ying Zheng.

Because if you really do this, no matter what the final result is, the Ying clan will never be able to hold their heads up forever.

Even if Ying Zheng is really not a descendant of the clan, however, he can deprive Ying Zheng of everything, but he can never push Ying Zheng out.Instead, he must do his best to guarantee Ying Zheng's reputation.

Only in this way can the reputation of the Ying clan be preserved.
