Daqin, the capital.

Feng Zhong never thought that he would be able to walk out of the Zichen Palace after entering it today.

But he didn't feel any relief in his heart, only regret.

Because he did not achieve the goal he wanted to achieve.

Even though I scolded the Cui family's followers today, it still fell short...

No, it's a lot worse!

He was a little confused as to why the emperor didn't attend court today, causing all his plans to fall through.

In his original expectation, he would enumerate the crimes of Cui the traitor in front of all the ministers and the emperor, and then it would be best if he died on the spot at the hands of the humiliated and angry Cui the traitor.

Or he died at the hands of other members of Cui's party.

If all else fails, he will kill himself in court and use his own blood to denounce the crimes of the traitors.

Only in this way can we shock people's hearts!

But……

Why didn't the emperor attend court?

Feng Zhong looked up at the sky and sighed deeply...

"Is it true that the fate of our Great Qin has run out, destined to perish at the hands of traitors?"

Along the way, many people bowed to him, while others sneered at him.

Feng Zhong pretended not to see anything.

Even though he could clearly feel that as soon as he left the Forbidden Palace, there were shadowy figures following him, some of whom did not hide at all and were extremely unscrupulous.

He was also fearless.

Death, why fear it?!

It's just a little regretful that we failed to achieve our goal.

But when he arrived at his own door, he couldn't help but be slightly startled, and his face, which had remained calm all the way, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

Before I even entered the house, I saw the whole family, young and old, waiting at the door.

Including the eldest son Feng Kan, the second son Feng Bo, his wife Feng Han, the eldest daughter-in-law Feng Yao, the newly married daughter Feng Yin, even the son-in-law Yang Chu and the eldest grandson who was not yet three years old were all there.

There were also dozens of servants from the Feng family, all standing at the gate of the courtyard.

There was a row of red lacquer coffins in the courtyard, which was very eye-catching and shocking.

"grown ups!"

"Master!"

Seeing him return safely, the whole family was surprised and happy, and came forward to pay their respects.

However, his family members all knew that he attached great importance to etiquette, so even if he was excited, he appeared to be very restrained and observed etiquette meticulously.

"Um."

Feng Zhong nodded slightly and glared sternly at his eldest son Feng Kan.

He remembered that when he went out in the morning, he had clearly instructed his eldest son to take his family out of the city.

He is a minister of the Qin Dynasty and has received the emperor's grace for generations. Naturally, he should be loyal to the Qin Dynasty.

But he was not a cold-hearted person. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he was unwilling to let his family die with him.

In this situation, it was obvious that this evil son did not listen to him at all.

Didn't he explain it clearly?

The eldest son Feng Kan lowered his head slightly, not daring to look him in the eye.

However, Madam Feng Han smiled slightly, stepped forward and was about to extend her hand to help Feng Zhong remove his court robes and sash, but he waved his hand to stop her.

"No need to take it off. As a Qin official, I will die for my country, so naturally I must wear the Qin crown and belt."

After saying that, he glared at Feng Kan again.

The lady didn't force him, but said slowly, "My husband, don't blame Kan'er. He originally wanted to send us out of the city, and then come back alone to die with you, but I refused."

Feng Zhong frowned again when he heard this. When he looked up, he saw that his wife's hair was already a little gray and her face was no longer young.

But that dignified and gentle smile is still the same as when we first met.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say, and I couldn't bear to blame him.

He could only stare at Feng Kan and Feng Bo.

But at this point, it's too late to say anything.

He knew very well that although the Cui family had allowed him to come back, they would never give up. Moreover, it was too late to let his family go now.

Saying anything else would only make people laugh at you.

The lady knew what he was thinking, and said calmly with a smile: "My husband, you are a minister of Qin. It is a great honor to eliminate the thieves for the country. I dare not stop you.

However, since I am married to my husband, I dare not live alone at this moment. If that traitor uses this as an excuse to attack and annihilate my husband...

This is my greatest sin!"

Feng Zhong remained silent.

Feng Han approached Feng Zhong, placed her hand on his back, and gently soothed him, "My dear, please allow me to accompany you for the last time, just as I have for decades."

After saying this, he slowly bowed down.

The Feng family members also bowed down together.

The eldest son, Feng Kan, mustered up the courage to look at his father, whom he usually admired and feared, and bowed, saying, "Your Excellency is a minister of Qin. As a minister, if you see a traitor to your country and refuse to compromise, that is the loyalty of a minister!

However, you are also the sons of adults. How can a son watch his father die and live alone?

This is a great act of unfilial behavior on the part of a son!"

"What's more, the world is so vast, and with the Cui family's power, if they want to take our lives, where can they find space for us?

In this case, it would be better for me to accompany you and face the country's crisis together. This will preserve the reputation of loyalty and filial piety of our Feng family and prevent your loyalty from being criticized by the world!"

After Feng Kan said this, he bowed down again.

Feng Zhong felt that his heart was as hard as stone, but at this moment, looking at his wife, eldest son, and all the women, children, old and young in the family, he couldn't help but shed tears.

After a long while, he sighed, reached out to help up his wife Feng Han and eldest son Feng Kan. Looking at his eldest son's lips that still had a slight beard and a face that looked very similar to his own when he was young, he couldn't help but pat the latter's shoulder with relief.

He rarely showed a smile, nodded and said: "Good, good, you are worthy of being the son of the Feng family."
