γChapter error, click here to reportγ
King Lu Jun is an idle prince who enjoys Qing Fu, and he has always been cautious, and An Shimao only receives inconsequential small errands, so he can only open the gap from An Shicheng, in fact, Emperor Daxing did this.
Therefore, as long as he follows the will of Emperor Daxing and comes out to prove that An Shicheng betrayed the country and joined the enemy, it will definitely attract An Shihong's attention, and then find an opportunity to shout grievances in front of others, which is a good strategy.
And the person who testifies must have a certain weight in order to attract the attention of everyone from the prince to Li Min, and Qiu Ruyi is the most suitable person.
Don't look at Qiu Ruyi's earlier talk to Zhou, when it really comes to himself, he understands that sometimes reputation and conscience are more important than life.
She couldn't bear to pour dirty water on her husband, and she was afraid that once things opened, the situation might develop to the point where it was unimaginable, let alone beyond her control, and one misstep would turn into a thousand years of hatred.
Maybe things haven't really reached the most critical moment, or maybe at the last moment, between her husband and wife's reputation and her son's life, she will choose the latter.
But now, she thinks that she can't take this stinky move, which is very likely to lead people into the abyss.
An Tianyou looked at it at a glance and understood the lawsuit between the eyes of this concubine.
He would not let his mother's reputation be hurt in the slightest.
King Lu received An Tianyou's eyes, and said in a straight voice: "Since we don't have any good ideas, let's do what Mr. Dong said." β
Mr. Dong once said that the courtyard of the deep house is heavily guarded outside, and it is not easy to pass on the news.
That's a good idea. At least if the palace is on fire, the clans can't help but ask.
Now that Zhou is in charge of the kitchen, he said: "Now that the firewood is poured, the firewood room is ready-made, and there are many spare ones in the garden." β
Qiu Ruyi thought about it for a while, and said: "Then burn the garden, the place is empty, and against the back wall, there is a well for watering flowers, in case it spreads to other places, it can be stopped in time." β
Zhou Shi hurriedly said: "Yes, the firewood room can't be burned, in the end it is too close to the kitchen, and it is food and drinking water, and then there are many people with mixed hands, and then they are poisoned." The granary must also be guarded, so as not to be burned by people fishing in troubled waters. β
An Shimao does not make noise with women, only looks at his father.
King Lu couldn't help but glance at An Tianyou.
When he was in the study today, when he mentioned arson, the first thing that came to his mind was the granary.
Obviously, An Shihong's idea is to set fire to the granary in the house, on the one hand, cut off their food and starve them to death, or it is possible to take advantage of the fire to extinguish the mouths of everyone in the house, food is too important to everyone in the house, once the fire starts, everyone will flock to help extinguish the fire, with no intention or not, what can be done.
And so, it was as he wanted. The granaries are burned down, and he is not afraid, anyway, the people outside will take action when they receive the signal, and when the time comes, the clan will come forward, and when they see the situation in the house, they will become more and more pitiful, and they will not be able to completely break the siege.
An Tianyu also agrees with this idea.
However, Yuan and the others obviously did not dare to fully believe Mr. Dong and refused to throw away all their net worth.
Of course, it is also related to the fact that they are in the back house, and they usually care about the trivial things of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and now when it comes to major things, the first consideration is naturally these, besides, as a woman, she has her own delicacy, and she always wants to leave a back hand in everything, and subconsciously feels that even if it doesn't work, she won't run out of food all of a sudden.
Seeing that the child is going to have no food or drink immediately, how can a mother feel at ease?
An Tianyou glanced at his mother, lowered his eyes and then raised his eyes again, nodding at King Lu Jun.
The emperor's words have always been true, how can he change them.
Whether An Tianyou signaled him to tell him the agreed plan or agree with the women's decision, King Lu Jun was not sure, and said tentatively: "What the old man said also makes sense. β
An Tianyou nodded, with a smile on his lips, King Lu Jun's heart was settled, and he made a final decision: "Okay, it's decided, Mao'er will arrange it with me, and set it on fire in the dead of night." β
That night, a fire broke out in the back garden of King Lu's mansion, reflecting half of the capital.
An Shihong was naturally also shocked and couldn't help laughing.
The words that Emperor Daxing said in his ear when he was leaving pressed on his chest day by day, and seeing that the mourning period was about to end, he was pressed more and more breathless.
Although he looked forward to the end of the mourning period and ascended to that seat as soon as possible, once he ascended to that seat, it meant that he could no longer sit idly by and ignore the people in Lu Wangfu's mansion who were locked up.
However, Lu Wangfu is innocent, and An Shicheng's charges cannot withstand scrutiny, and letting them go is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain.
I didn't expect it to happen today.
Ahn Shihong laughed happily, he hadn't laughed like this in a long time.
Because of the crying spirit, Qiu Yu ~ Juan couldn't sleep steadily, and when she heard someone shouting to take the water, she hurriedly got up and opened the window, and saw the sky-high fire outside, just like the night of the battle of An Liu in the capital many years ago, she couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly came to An Shihong.
Qiu Ruolan came earlier than her, and when she saw her panicked, she said casually: "Look at the direction, I'm afraid it's the Lujun Palace." β
Qiu Yu ~ Juan was away with An Shiping in her previous life, and she knew little about the secret affairs of the palace, let alone Qiu Ruolan's ability to know the future affairs in detail, An Shihong was a suspicious person, and she had never mentioned it to her in this matter, so Qiu Yu ~ Juan felt that An Shihong's attitude towards Lujun Wangfu was a little suspicious, but he only regarded it as the reason why he was suspicious of An Shicheng.
At this time, I heard that the palace of Lujun was gone, although I was anxious, but I thought that there were many officers and soldiers guarding outside his mansion, once the fire started, I would not and would not dare to stand idly by, after all, the construction of the capital is mostly made of wood, if the fire is allowed to spread, the loss is immeasurable, and no one can bear this responsibility.
With so many people helping, it was faster than others to put out the fire.
So Qiu Ruolan didn't see Qiu Yu~juan's anxious look as she wished.
An Shihong had already ordered someone to go out to verify, and soon the servant came back to report: It was indeed the Lujun Palace's house that was on fire.
An Shihong pretended to sigh and said: "Why did you catch fire?" Let the Zongren Mansion send someone to take a look tomorrow, but if there is any damage, it is the sect, and they must not be neglected." β
Qiu Ruolan answered: "That's it, okay, why is it on fire, it's still in the mourning period of Emperor Daxing." Isn't there any retribution, just if he does things without knowing the ghosts, but he doesn't know that the gods are in the sky, he can see it clearly. β
Qiu Yu~Juan frowned when she heard this, and scolded lightly: "It's getting more and more unruly." The harem can't interfere in politics, what kind of mouth do you have? It is a common saying on weekdays, and you must also pay attention to it, you are in a high position, and you are by the side of the prince, if you have no evidence, don't say it in the future, so as not to disturb the holy hearing, and also misunderstand the people below. β
