Chapter 3056: Young Master, Blood!
"If I'm not mistaken, those officials who served him in the past and later surrendered to the current emperor are the ones he wants to kill. He won't let any of them go, right?"
This time, even Xu Shizong, who was always calm and composed, was a little surprised.
He looked at Nan Yan, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said: "It's a pity that the Imperial Concubine has such a scheming mind, but is only confined to the harem as a favored concubine."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I am very happy to hear your flattery."
“…”
"However, this isn't my scheming, it's just that—I've experienced it once, so naturally I understand it better than you all."
"Has it happened once?"
Hearing this, Xu Shizong thought about it again and immediately understood.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "You're late. You missed the excitement. Back then, when the Emperor launched the Jingnan Campaign and stormed the Nanjing Palace, corpses were scattered all over the ground, and blood flowed like a river. Those ministers who refused to surrender had the Emperor's sword hanging over their heads."
“…”
"I still remember those scenes from those days. How could I forget them?"
Xu Shizong said: "But in the end, he only killed one general who followed him into Jinling City."
Nan Yan said: "Not bad."
"Who was it that persuaded the Emperor to lay down his sword of murder?"
"Of course it's the people around him."
Nan Yan said, "He Yi, Ye Zheng, these people have all spoken."
“…”
"If I hadn't spoken up at that time, how could I have become his loyal minister later on?"
Hearing this, Xu Shizong couldn't help but sneered.
Nan Yan also knew that saying this now would sound like a joke. He was once Zhu Feng's confidant and a loyal minister who followed him in his battles. He Yi was the Left Prime Minister, to whom he entrusted important tasks. Even after the cabinet was established, he was still the chief minister. And Ye Zheng was the only person Zhu Feng cared about.
But now——
Ye Zheng, needless to say.
As for He Yi, what's going on with him? Although Nan Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was not him who attacked Jinling City this time, this does not mean that the doubts about He Yi can be explained clearly.
Xu Shizong said, "You said Ye Zheng advised him, but this time, he didn't say a word."
"oh?"
After hearing this, Nan Yan's eyes flickered slightly.
He immediately sneered: "It seems that he has also learned to protect himself."
“…”
"At a time like this, only a fool would dare to go up and hit the knife."
Then she looked at Xu Shizong again, and said with a half-smile, "Don't you Confucian scholars always want to die for your remonstrations and die for your battles? So, Master Xu, do you plan to die for your remonstrations?"
Xu Shizong said calmly: "You don't have to provoke me."
“…”
“I will do what I should do even if thousands of people try to stop me. But I won’t do what I shouldn’t do even if you provoke me.”
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I'm just worried."
"What are you worried about?"
"I'm worried about Master Xu's health. If you continue like this, can you still make it to the day when you—the Buddha is sent to the west?"
After saying that, she smiled faintly and walked out of the room.
Behind her, Xu Shizong was coughing violently, shaking the whole house. He couldn't stop coughing. Xiaoman heard that the sound of his cough was not right and rushed over to support him. As Nanyan walked outside, she heard Xiaoman shouting in fear: "Master, blood!"
