readx;?“ On the fourth day of the eighth month, at the moment of Shen Zheng, the sky was suddenly overcast, lightning and thunder roared, the wind was fierce, the heavens and the earth changed color, the branches of the trees danced wildly, and all kinds of chaos were like the beginning ......of the flood and chaos." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info..

It is said that the day that can be recorded in history must have its own special features.

On the fourth day of the eighth month, it was originally just a woman's birthday (well, although this woman is a princess, but in a patriarchal society, except for the emperor's mother and his wife, or a very few women who have made outstanding contributions, most people are not the object of attention of historians), but because of a heavy thunderstorm that has not been encountered in a century, it was recorded in the "History of Qi" by the historian.

In fact, if it was just a thunderstorm, it was not worthy of the historian's attention, but the real reason was hidden in the rumbling thunder.

"What? The south study was hit by lightning and lightning fire? ”

In King Shou's mansion, a group of guests were about to say goodbye and leave, but the weather changed suddenly, everyone couldn't help frowning, chatting, and looking forward to the gloomy sky. Just when everyone was getting more and more anxious, they suddenly heard such a terrifying news.

A few ministers couldn't help but look at the hourglass in the corner of the room, "Shen Zheng?" Isn't it the time for the saint to review the folds in the south study?! ”

Since the beginning of summer, the sage could not stand the heat, so he moved his office to the water pavilion behind the south study.

The cabinet ministers go in and out of the south study every day, and often discuss government affairs with the sage in the water pavilion, so they are naturally very familiar with it, and almost close their eyes and the pattern of the south study and the water pavilion will clearly emerge in their minds.

The small water pavilion is very cleverly designed, there is a beast head lying on the four corners of the ridge, and each beast head is connected to a special water channel, through the water channel, through the wide open mouth of the pit pit spray out, down the rubble, forming a series of waterfalls around the water pavilion, and finally into the pond below the water pavilion.

The "pit pit pit constantly spits water", and the circulating water vapor washes away the heat, making the water pavilion extremely cool.

In the past, when the courtiers went to the south study to meet the saints, they admired the exquisite design of this water pavilion more than once. But at this time. Many bigwigs in the DPRK and China turned pale, and their bodies trembled as if they had malaria: God, the four pit pits on the roof are all made of copper, and copper is most afraid of thunder and fire!

What if, what if......

No one dared to think about it anymore. One by one, they all prayed sincerely: God forbid, the thunder and fire only hit the south study, and did not extend to the water pavilion. Or, or, the saint happened not to go to the water pavilion to escape the heat this day, after all, it was autumn. The heat has already receded, and the saint probably won't go to the watery pavilion again, right?!

"No, no, it wasn't the south study that was hit by the lightning fire, but a small water pavilion behind the south study!"

Just when everyone looked different and talked about it, the little guy in Shouwang's Mansion brought bad news again, and before a few bigwigs were shocked to shut up, even worse news came again, "When the thunder fire was raging, the sage was in the Water Pavilion to review the chapter!" ”

Shoufu Ji Yanji has experienced a lot, and he tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart. An arrow rushed to the front, grabbed the placket of the little girl's clothes, and said sharply: "What about the saint? Can the saint be disturbed? He really couldn't ask the most fearful sentence in his heart - had the saint ever been hurt?

The little guy passively stood on tiptoe and replied with difficulty: "Okay, so that this old man knows, the little one only inquired about this, what is the situation of the saint, but the little one doesn't know." However, when the little one came back, the palace gate had already been closed early. Listen and hear that it is at the behest of the queen's mother! ”

Ji Yan stumbled under his feet and almost fell to the ground with a weak foot.

At this time, he couldn't help but wonder why King Shou would send someone to the palace to inquire about the news in the palace. My mind is full of 'something happened'!

"I'm afraid the saint's situation is not good, otherwise Queen Ma would not have ordered someone to close the palace gate. I expected that at this time, the Praetorian Guard and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies were all mobilized. ”

Qi Lingxian's expression remained unchanged, and he put his fist under his nose to cover his mouth, and said.

Qi Jinzhi nodded. Although the little servants in Shouwang's Mansion kept saying that 'I don't know what the situation of the saint is', the words are full of words: the saint is injured, the palace is unstable, and Queen Ma is forced to close the palace city.

"Father, the saint can't really, truly—" was struck by lightning, right?

Qi Jinzhi was silent for a moment and muttered in a low voice.

It's time in front of you. Things are getting clearer. A palace change is just around the corner, King Shou, King Kang, and Xiao Daozong outside, it is estimated that they all have a share. Qi Jinzhi even suspected that the south study room was struck by lightning and fire, which may not be an accident.

He hadn't been to the South Study, nor had he seen the appearance of the Water Pavilion with his own eyes, but he had heard the secret agent at home describe it in detail. Although the pit on the roof of the water pavilion was made of copper, it was not so easily struck by lightning and fire.

I heard that when the Ministry of Industry was preparing to build the Water Pavilion, a subordinate official of Qin Tianjian proposed that copper was easy to be struck by lightning, and suggested that lightning protection devices should be added to the Water Pavilion.

This suggestion has been adopted by the Ministry of Industry, and various precautions have been taken when building the water pavilion. Therefore, even if it encounters a heavy thunderstorm that has not been encountered in a hundred years today, the water pavilion will not be easily struck by lightning.

…… Wait, Qin Tianjian? Ministry of Works? Could there be any problems here?

Qi Jinzhi suddenly remembered that the water pavilion in the south study was only completed this spring, and the person who proposed the construction of this water pavilion was the most hedonistic Shouwang!

The father of the concubine of King Shou once served as the supervisor of Qin Tianjian!

"Father!" Qi Jinzhi raised his head, a flash of vigilance flashed in his eyes, and he was about to tell his father his guess. Qi Lingxian raised his right hand and made a silent movement.

Qi Jinzhi hurriedly stopped, followed his father's hints, and set his eyes on several bigwigs such as the British Duke and the Wei Guogong.

Sure enough, although the expressions of several old princes were not abnormal, like the people around them, their faces were full of anxiety and consternation, but their eyes were extremely calm, and they quietly retreated out without a trace, trying to escape from the close monitoring circle of Shouwang and his son.

Seeing this, Qi Jinzhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Also, what a junior can guess, how could his father and those old foxes not think of it?

With these bigwigs in front of him, his yellow-haired boy is still waiting obediently to the side and watching.

"Boom~"

"Click!"

The deafening thunder rang out one after another, and lightning in the shape of tree branches flashed in the clouds from time to time, and there was silence in the Shouwang Mansion. Everyone had different thoughts, looking left and right, trying to see something in the faces of the people around them.

After a short period of panic, Ji Yan quickly regained his composure, he wiped his face, took a deep breath, came to King Shou, waved his hands and saluted, and said: "Lord, there is such a disaster in the palace, the old minister is anxious, take the first step, and ask the prince to forgive me!" ”

After that, without waiting for King Shou to reply, Ji Yan raised his feet and was about to rush out.

"Ji Shoufu and stay, this king will go with you."

Shou Wang's oily face lost the smile of the past, and he yelled anxiously at Ji Yan's back.

"We'll go too!"

"Yes, hurry up, let's enter the palace!"

Something happened to the emperor, a big change is just around the corner, who can sit still? Everyone got up one after another, took three steps and made two steps, and didn't care about the bad weather outside, lightning and thunder, and followed Ji Yan and Shouwang out of the flower hall.

Several old princes secretly gave each other a look, and then blended into the crowd without saying a word.

Hula was busy for a while, and the bigwigs who could be counted in the middle of the court hurried out.

The servants in Shouwang's Mansion are very clever (or are they prepared?). and quickly prepared the carriage and horses.

Ji Yan is the head of the civil servants, and he pays the most attention to grooming and rules on weekdays, but he can't take care of it at the moment, he snatched the reins from the hands of the little guy, but the big grade turned over and got on the horse with agility, shook the reins, and went straight to the palace.

Several other ministers and Shangshu still wanted to take the carriage, but seeing Ji Yan like this, they had to get down from the wheel, take the reins from the subordinates of the Shouwang Mansion casually, and chase after them.

The British princes and other princes and old generals were extremely familiar with the saddle on the horse, controlled the speed, and fell tightly behind Ji Yan and several other ministers.

However, in the corner where no one could see, several groups of unidentified people took action.

For a time, only the prince of Shouwang and the middle and low-level officials below the fourth grade were left in the flower hall of Shouwang's Mansion.

"Father?" Qi Jinzhi clenched his fists and stood on Qi Lingxian's side with full vigilance.

"Don't worry, let's see." Qi Ling first glanced at the Qi family's secret guard lurking in the corner, and commanded Qi Jinzhi in a deep voice.

“…… Shizi, the lower official took his leave first. ”

The petty officials were silent for a long time, but the head of the military department took the lead in standing up, hugged his fists at the prince of Shouwang, didn't say any nice polite words, and directly offered to leave.

The palace was tragically attacked by thunder and fire, and the saint may be struck by lightning, which is definitely the first major thing in Daqi, but for those who are six or seven grades, it really doesn't matter much. Unless they are disciples of big families, or people from the clan, palace riots, coups and the like, even if the petty officials with ordinary family backgrounds are secretly concerned, they are not qualified (or have no way) to get involved.

Now the only thing they can do is go back to their homes, close the doors, and wait for the storm to come. Of course, there are no exceptions for those who are ambitious and delusional to take advantage of the opportunity.

The prince of Shouwang also understood this truth, and without much hindrance, he returned the gift, and ordered the housekeeper to send out more than a dozen petty officials one by one.

Qi Lingxian's father and son learned from everyone's appearance and said goodbye to the prince of Shouwang.

Originally, Qi Jinzhi was worried that Shouwang Shizi would stop them, but the strange thing is that Shouwang Shizi did not look at their father and son differently like Shouwang, but only said lightly 'don't send' like an ordinary petty official.

The prince of Shouwang didn't even send out the flower hall, but looked at it coldly, and let Qi Lingxian and Qi Jinzhi leave.

"......" Qi Lingxian frowned, and a bad premonition was faintly born in his heart.

Sure enough, as soon as their father and son left the Shouwang Mansion, an inconspicuous young man in Tsing Yi came over and attached it to Qi Lingxian's ear and said: "Master, there was an unprovoked fire at home, but fortunately, the fire was put out in time, and the people and the house were not damaged, but Xiao Gang was gone, ......" (to be continued.) )

ps: ps: a certain sa rolled out with the lid on his head, silently, and then rolled away with the lid on his head...... Dear friends, I'm sorry, a certain Sa doesn't dare to make excuses, the only thing he can do is to finish "The Noble Girl" as soon as possible, ~~~~(>_
