332: Fire
In November, the Yecheng fire burned down many warehouses.
These warehouses are used to store grain and grass on weekdays, and the surrounding area is also heavily guarded.
Soon, Yin An Yingrong of Yecheng Mansion was privately arrested by the six princes and returned to Beijing.
However, An Yingrong is not an outsider, he is Concubine An's younger brother.
Emperor Jianguang ordered An Yingrong to be imprisoned in Dali Temple, and the matter was handed over to Xiao Jiu for thorough investigation.
Why did Yecheng catch fire? Emperor Jianguang couldn't think it through.
There are obviously heavy guards around.
This fire was obviously deliberately carried out.
The sixth prince was a little worried about this, because he thought that Emperor Jianguang was favoring Anjia.
Now that Concubine An Guifei is pregnant, Yecheng is a military location, and now there is a mistake, why didn't his father punish An Yingrong heavily, in order to set an example.
Is it really so important to settle down?
Soon, the An family became a thorn in the side of the six princes. For this reason, the six princes repeatedly asked for An Yingrong to be killed.
Emperor Jianguang rejected the suggestion of the six princes, and in the last anger, he simply released the eldest prince who was under house arrest in the palace.
The eldest prince returned to the court, and the six princes were naturally a little frightened.
The six princes couldn't guess Emperor Jianguang's attitude, so they could only stop there.
The four princes still said that they were sick and did not participate in political affairs as before, and Emperor Jianguang saw that the six princes and the eldest prince made him upset, and finally forced the four princes to go to the court, and gave the four princes a part of the military power. Emperor Jianguang did this to warn the six princes and the eldest prince.
This was also the last time Emperor Jianguang gave the eldest prince a chance.
If they touch his bottom line again, then it will be considered his own son. He will never be relentless.
What the six princes are most afraid of now is that the child in Concubine An's womb is a baby boy, Concubine An is now the same as the deputy queen, the queen has been martyred, and everything in the harem is Concubine An's final say. If Concubine An gives birth to a prince for Emperor Jianguang again, then as soon as Emperor Jianguang is happy, this child may directly become the crown prince.
The Sixth Prince naturally didn't want such a thing to happen to him.
He had tried his best to get to this point, how could he let others sabotage his plan.
The six princes began to be anxious, and couldn't help but send a lot of things to the Marquis of Chang'an's mansion.
When the gift was delivered to the Marquis of Chang'an's mansion, Xiao Jiu was playing against the four princes.
"My sixth brother is still so impatient." Qin Shuo landed the chess pieces on the chessboard. Chuckle. "At this time, he should keep to himself, his father doesn't like to be threatened, and he doesn't like a chess piece to do whatever he wants."
Xiao Jiu didn't stop the movements in his hand, but Lao Zhong, who came to Qiqi, said, "Tell them." Send these things back to the Six Princes' mansions intact. The six princes don't like to be public. Be careful. Don't let anyone see it. Of course, if anyone wants to know, they can also inquire about your actions. Don't take it personally. ”
Lao Zhong, who was kneeling on the ground, frowned slightly, and after pondering for a while, he understood what Xiao Jiu meant: "The old slave knows, and the old slave will do it immediately." ”
Lao Zhong has been by Xiao Jiu's side for many years, but he still can't guess what Xiao Jiu is thinking. Many times, Xiao Jiu speaks and doesn't like to speak too thoroughly, and he has to use all his strength to figure out the meaning of these words in order to guess what Xiao Jiu means.
Xiao Jiu didn't like the people around him to be too clumsy, and he didn't like them to be smart.
After Lao Zhong retreated, Qin Shuo couldn't help but laugh: "If the sixth brother knew that you were doing this, it would probably be ...... will drop his room of treasures, but it's a pity that those treasures are all top-notch things. ”
"I've told them to be careful." Xiao Jiuluozi's speed became faster and faster, and his voice was gentle, "Moreover, the things he gave are not my favor." ”
The six princes sent a lot of beauties this time, many of these beauties are from the Western Regions, they can sing and dance outstandingly, and they are more enchanting and charming than the women of Daqin. The idea of the sixth prince is very simple, now that Xia Ruan is pregnant, Xia Ruan's body has always been weak, and now it is even more inconvenient to serve Xiao Jiu. As a man with strong blood, Xiao Jiu must be in need at night.
He sent these beauties to Xiao Jiu's side at this time, which just solved Xiao Jiu's troubles. After all, it was the person he sent, and Xia Ruan couldn't let Xiao Jiu refuse, so he could also block Xia Ruan's mouth.
The best of both worlds, Xiao Jiu will definitely like it.
It's just that the six princes made the wrong bet.
For Xiao Jiu, he is not the person he wants, and he doesn't want to look at it at one more time.
If it's not Xia Ruan, it won't work.
Qin Shuo understands Xiao Jiu's infatuation better than anyone else, he has seen Xiao Jiu paint, and the women in his pen are lifelike. If you weren't sincere to one person, you wouldn't have painted such a superb painting. Qin Shuo couldn't send Xiao Jiu a lot of things in private, but the things he gave Xia Ruan would not be too little, for Xiao Jiu, I am afraid that beauty is more important than Jiangshan.
Xiao Jiu asked people to send back the things sent by the six princes, pretending to cover it up on the surface. But if someone wants to inquire, I'm afraid they will also inquire about the news. Now Emperor Jianguang is gradually obsessed with pills, but at the same time, he wants to hold the imperial power in his hands even more. The six princes so blatantly colluded with officials, and wanted to go against Concubine An, Emperor Jianguang must be displeased.
If the eldest prince wants to fight back, I'm afraid it will be in this period of time.
The fourth prince felt a little bitter in his heart, and Xiao Jiu gave him another favor.
Qin Shuo looked at the chess pieces on the chessboard, and only after half a sound did he say softly: "Today I wanted to come and say thank you to Mrs. Chang'an Hou, but it seems that I want to say thank you now." I don't have anything to give, this morning my mother sent me some pastries from the palace, I remember that Mrs. Chang'an Hou is now pregnant, and her appetite has been bad. When my mother was pregnant with me, she was like this, so I hope Mrs. Chang'an Hou can like these pastries. ”
Concubine Xun's craftsmanship in making pastries is exquisite, and her pastries made the Queen Mother admire endlessly, if it weren't for the imperial concubine's business, she would not have become the Queen Mother's abandoned son.
Concubine Xun's current situation is actually not good, and it is not easy for her to cook pastries by herself. In the past, the four princes could only eat the pastries sent by Concubine Xun on their birthdays a year, but now Concubine Xunfei sent these pastries to Xia Ruan, and I am afraid that this favor has been remembered in my heart.
Xiao Jiu smiled lightly at the four princes: "Then I have thanked the mother and the four princes for my wife." ”
"By the way, I suddenly remembered something." The fourth prince sat up straight and threw the chess pieces in his hand back into the chess box, "I remember that you have a younger sister?" ”
Xiao Jiu saw that the fourth prince was like this, so he no longer left his son: "Weichen does have a younger sister. ”
Qin Shuo nodded, and then sighed: "Mr. Xilou said, my chess skills are not as good as yours, I have always been unconvinced, but now...... I just can't be convinced. You've won me so many times, this thing I would have ...... I don't want to give it to you. But I had a relationship with this child in private, and she was well-behaved and sensible, so it was okay to help her. ”
After Qin Shuo finished speaking, he took out a worn-out book from his cuff and handed it to Xiao Jiu, "Mr. Xilou has traveled in many countries in the Western Regions, and these are some recipes brought back from the Western Regions, and there are many methods that can cure deafness. I heard that Miss Du Ruo's medical skills are exquisite, and with these prescriptions, I am afraid that Miss Thirteen can also be cured. ”
Qin Shuo said it easily, but in Xiao Jiu's ears, he was very shocked.
Mr. Xilou is a worldly master, and he often sees the head of the dragon without seeing the end. Moreover, Mr. Xilou has liked to travel to the Western Regions for many years, and he can naturally hear a lot more things than him. Xiao Jiu rarely admires people, and the people he admires in his heart are Mr. Xilou except for Li Changfeng.
It's just that although Mr. Xilou is smart, he has a shallow fate with his beloved woman in this life. This woman gave birth to Bai Yanshu for Mr. Xilou, and went early.
Bai Yanshu was born with a weak physique and has been living in the White Horse Temple. Mr. Xilou traveled to the Western Regions in the hope of finding a cure for Bai Yanshu...... It's just that Mr. Xilou is also a little selfish in private, and he doesn't like to give away the things in his hands. Although Xiao Jiu has dealings with Mr. Xilou, he is not as close as the fourth prince and Mr. Xilou.
The fourth prince got this book from Mr. Xilou's hand, and I am afraid that it will not take a lot of effort.
Xiao Jiu took the book from the hands of the four princes: "I accepted the gift given to me by the four princes." Forgive the ministers for their courage and dare to ask when the four princes have seen the minister's little sister? ”
"A month ago...... Met her in the garden. The fourth prince thought of Xiao Yuanxi's clear eyes, and couldn't help laughing, "She's well-behaved, it's just a pity...... Well, if you take good care of it, you should also have a chance to recover. ”
When Xiao Jiu heard the fourth prince say this, the smile on his handsome face deepened: "She has been like this since she was a child, well-behaved and sensible. When she was young, she sent all the things that the minister liked to eat. Obviously, she also loves what Chen likes to eat, but in order to let Chen eat more, she can't help it. ”
Xiao Yuanxi has been sensible since he was a child, he used to get up early to study, and Xiao Yuanxi gave him delicious things.
She smiled happily: "Third brother, you eat, you like to eat." ”
Xiao Jiu thought of his sister's smile, but his heart was a little sour.
If he is more powerful, if he stands taller...... My sister won't be what she is now.
For his sister, he felt a little guilty.
"She's good." Qin Shuo rarely praises people, but today he is not stingy, "Clean, and he won't lie." ”
After hearing this, Xiao Jiu thought thoughtfully: "If the fourth prince is not busy today, he will go with the ministers to take a look at her?" This will, she is afraid that she will be by Mrs. Chen's side. ”
"Not busy. What else do I have to keep busy with now? Just watch my eldest brother and sixth brother act. The fourth prince stood up with a smile, "Presumably, Zhu Gongzi also received a big gift from you." This Yecheng fire is really good, and anything dirty can be burned clean. Let's go, I wonder if I want to see this girl. ”
After hearing this, Xiao Jiu also got up and walked slowly towards the main courtyard with the four princes. (To be continued......)
