The atmosphere in the palace dropped to the freezing point, no one knew what their fate would be next, their fate would not depend on the emperor for a moment, they couldn't help but pray silently in their hearts, praying that His Majesty the Emperor would be merciful and spare their lives, after all, there is nothing more terrifying than moving their heads.

"You're amazing! In the middle of the night, people can break into the palace, put down such a fire, the fire burned out and the whole palace burned to the ground, you, as the bureaucrats of the forbidden army, couldn't even catch the person who set the fire, and you still have the face to come to me to ask for mercy, who gave you the guts?! It took a while for the emperor to speak, but when he opened his mouth, it was a rhythm that scared people to death.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness, it was the minister's misconduct, which shocked the holy driver! Please forgive your Majesty! "The commander of the forbidden army has a white face, he didn't think of this, and he used them to get involved.

At first, I thought that the person who set the fire was a eunuch or palace maid in the palace, or even caused by a mistake in the hands of the people below, so it was simple, just catch that person and beat the board or punish him, who knew that in the end it was one or two assassins who broke into the palace, but the forbidden army did not react at all.

Can this emperor not be angry?

If something happens to the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, it is naturally a matter of the Internal Affairs Office, and it can even be said that it is improper for the queen to rule the six palaces, but it is someone who breaks in from the outside, then this matter has nothing to do with the two parties, and it is purely a trouble for them to march.

The commander of the forbidden army has been guarding the inner part for many years, and he has never had such a big fork, but this time the fork is also out and his face is lost, and the emperor can bear him kneeling under him at this time, instead of dragging him out and beating him with a board, it is already merciful.

As he was thinking this, the emperor shifted his gaze to him and continued, "Tang Hong, do you know what you are doing wrong? ”

Tang Hong didn't dare to talk nonsense, he just knelt down and kowtowed.

The emperor snorted coldly and said, "Since you are convicted, then go down and receive the punishment yourself, and how many boards you receive is your loyalty to me, you can do it yourself!" ”

Tang Hong's legs were weak for a while when he heard this, and he forced himself to beat himself and not say it, he couldn't fight less, this was really a dumb person who ate Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't say what he was suffering from, so the emperor didn't say how many boards he had to receive, but he couldn't bear it if he received more, and if he received less, he would be considered disloyal to the emperor.

That's really ......

But what could he say? The defense of the army was improper, there was such a big thing, and it was a supreme fluke to move without a brain, Tang Hong went down to get the board by himself, and the emperor felt bad luck when he looked at the people kneeling below, and he didn't want to look at them more.

At this time, the internal official came to report and said: "The queen has arrived." ”

When the emperor heard this, the expression on his face softened slightly, and he waved his hand and said, "Please come in!" ”

The queen changed into a dark dress, although she also came in a hurry, but her appearance was not messy, she looked at the emperor and said, "The concubine is late, please forgive your majesty." ”

The emperor glanced at the empress and knew that she was not sleeping well tonight, so he said: "You are safe there, just stay in your own palace, you have taken medicine before you sleep, just rest, why do you still come to me at night?" ”

The queen got up and said, "Worried Your Majesty, the concubine hurried over as soon as she woke up, but it was still late." ”

The emperor stretched out his hand to hold the empress's hand, and felt cold, and said with some worry: "You are not in good health, it is so cold at night, what are you doing here?" Look, the hands are cold. As he spoke, he took off the coat he was wearing and put it on the queen.

With the queen here, the emperor didn't want to see those people below, so he waved his hand a little irritably; "You all go down, go back and receive the punishment yourself, and I will not spare it next time!"

The following people are only like being amnesty at this time, and they are generally up, and this life is temporarily saved, but just like the commander of the forbidden army, let himself be punished, and the designation cannot be light, otherwise His Majesty the Emperor will settle accounts after the autumn, and that is really the old life!

For a while, several people retreated with a heavy heart, and another complained about the commander of the forbidden army, what did they do with the forbidden army? actually asked someone to break in, let go of this fire, not to mention, but also involved everyone, and was punished by the emperor together, it was originally a big year, what a good day, but in vain to find this bad luck!

When the day dawned, it was already the early morning of the second day, and all the princes' mansions had to go to court, although it was not the day of the great court meeting, there was such a big thing in the palace, these ministers no matter what the purpose was, they always had to gather at the gate of the palace, saying that it was the center of the table, or exploring the truth and reality, and they were always going to the dragon tail road.

In Prince Chun's mansion, the princess personally served the prince and put on the court clothes, straightened the big hair collar at hand, smoothed the silk silk that was forbidden from walking, and looked at nothing wrong, so she nodded with satisfaction.

"That's just right."

When the prince heard this, he smiled at his beloved wife and said: "Don't worry, it's just an ordinary court, this matter has nothing to do with us, although there are assassins, but what should really be anxious is to send these assassins behind the scenes, let's just go to the palace, there will be nothing wrong." ”

Having said that, anyone with a discerning eye can see that after this incident, today's court meeting is only afraid that it will not be so easy to be good.

In King Mu's mansion, Mrs. Ya also served the banquet and wore court clothes, and said with some distress: "This early morning is not the original court meeting, what kind of court is the day?" On a big winter day, suffer this sin for no reason! ”

The banquet shocked the heavens, and said with some disapproval: "Eh, you can't say that, there was a fire in the palace yesterday, no matter what, we courtiers still have to go to the palace to show our loyalty, lest Your Majesty dislike it in his heart and think that we have two other hearts, which is not good." ”

Mrs. Ya flattened her mouth when she heard this: "Although the concubine is not familiar with the government, she is not the kind of unreasonable woman, she can only splash and roll, how can she not understand this truth?" It's just that some people feel sorry for the old man to suffer this crime on such a cold day, it's really unbearable! ”

Yan Jingtian was very helpful when he heard this, and even patted her hand with a smile and said: "Okay, it wasn't a big deal, I don't have to worry so much when I go and come back, just wait at home to listen to the letter!" ”

The life of these two people is like that of an ordinary couple, just listening to their conversation, which makes people feel very disgusting.

The bitter banquet is not here, otherwise I am afraid that I will vomit out disgusting when I hear this, if this lady is not a rude woman who is splashing and rolling, then the women of the world are all virtuous and virtuous!
