The golden light pierced through the clouds, and even the clouds were golden. What is that? Otherworldly fireballs.

The red sun is about to erupt, the heavy fog can't be buried, the heavy dark clouds can't be blocked, and gradually shows a dazzling brilliance, like a fireball in the last days, refracting thousands of twists and turns, illuminating this chaotic world more and more luminous and strange.

It is the middle of Qinhuai's turmoil, and Qinhuai, which has entered the cold winter of several nine, ushered in the first round of magnificent red sun at the end of the year.

On the official road leading to the gilded hall, the snow accumulated overnight, there is no trace at this moment, a gust of morning breeze blows, not stained with fine dust, a few zhang of golden sunlight leaks from the glazed tiles, tilting out a long light and shadow, the vermilion palace wall, the glazed tiles intertwined with blue and white, are shrouded in this piece of peace, quite a taste of spring and Jingming.

At the beginning of the five drums, the palace door was opened one by one, and the splendid costumes were like fierce flames, and they went straight to the gilded hall.

"What about Zhao Hesi? The arson case of the Prince Building last night can be clarified! Emperor Mocang sat on top of it and asked by name, and the atmosphere of the early dynasty instantly became grim.

Among the officials, a middle-aged Mocang official withdrew. Zhao Hesi bowed and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, after Weichen's investigation all night, the mastermind behind the arson case of the Prince Tower has been identified. ”

The truth was about to come out, but Zhao Hesi hesitated for a moment and raised his eyes slightly: "The mastermind behind it is not an extraordinary person, it is... It's God! The tone was very cold.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and Emperor Mo Cang was a little annoyed, he got up angrily, walked to the ninth-level platform, pointed to the sky, and two round-eyed tiger eyes glared at Zhao Hesi: "Heaven? Do you mean that the sky will be on fire and burn down the prince's tower at night? ”

"My emperor is wise." Zhao Hesi bowed his hand and said lightly. When he got up again, he saw the twists and turns in the sky, flying down from the top of the ninth-level platform like snowflakes, Zhao Hesi was terrified, and suddenly threw his body to the ground, letting the folds smash on himself.

The anger of the Son of Heaven did not dare to be controlled, and all the courtiers knelt on the ground together, and even their breathing became heavier.

The anger that had been pressed on his chest for a long time did not alleviate in the slightest, and the Mocang Emperor's dragon robe flicked off, sat back on the dragon throne, and scolded: "You can't find the real murderer overnight, you actually use this kind of trick to deal with me?" I don't want to live anymore, do I? ”

Before the early dynasty, Emperor Mocang read all the memorals that were presented, and half of them were words about the impeachment of the crown prince and the words about the omen of the gods. He only thought it was nonsense that the three of them became tigers, and only then did he listen to what Zhao Hesi said, and realized that what he played was not the meaning of some people, but the meaning of most of the people in the court.

There was a dead silence in the hall, and the atmosphere was deadlocked for a moment, and no one dared to speak.

"Your Majesty, the prince came to the world with golden light, his destiny has long been closely connected with the Mocang Heavenly God, last night, Chenghan Chenxi Building was in flames, it is the wrath of the gods, it is the power of the gods!"

The Mocang patriarch Tuoba Chi, his words were like a sharp sword, and suddenly cut off the stalemate atmosphere in the hall, as soon as these words came out, the ministers became even more nervous and uneasy, and they didn't know how the Mocang monarch would react.

"Wrath of the gods? The might of the gods? Oh, what does the god want to tell me? Emperor Mocang suddenly moved his gaze to Tuoba Chi, his face seemed calm, but in fact, he was secretly sharp.

"The old minister thought that on the night of his birthday, His Majesty gave the Han Chenxi Building to His Royal Highness the Prince, which was to tell the world that the position of the prince must be the prince, and the wrath of the gods naturally wanted to tell His Majesty and tell the world that the prince was not the emperor. Therefore, the position of the prince, please think twice! Tuoba Chi's tone was deep, and the words sounded like thunder.

Hearing this, Emperor Mocang's expression became even more solemn, and his contemplative gaze suddenly raised: "What does Zhao Tingwei think?" ”

Zhao Qiu's beard was hidden in the crowd, and when he heard the sound, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart. If you agree with the right minister's view, then you take the initiative to join the camp of King Chang, and if you reject the right minister's view, you will support the prince and slide to the prince's camp from then on. Everyone knows the truth, how can Zhao Qiu not know?

Weichen thought that this matter might not be so simple. On the night of the prince's birthday, anti-thieves were rampant, the prince's building was in front of the water, and the blazing cloud hall was attacked behind, but I am afraid that this is a plan of anti-thieves. The top priority at the moment is to apprehend the real culprits behind the scenes as soon as possible. Zhao Qiu said. Why should the two camps be stronger or weaker? He just wants to keep his duty, right and wrong, to see with his own eyes, not to hear with his ears.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the position of the prince is related to the great plan of the country, and the establishment of the prince is the top priority!" Opposition sparked.

"The position of the prince is related to the great plan of the country......." the ministers replied.

Emperor Mocang was already like a thorn in his back, he gently pinched his forehead, and he was indifferent for a long time, as if he was waiting for something, and asked again: "What does Mrs. Li think?" ”

"Wechen... Forgive Weichen for being stupid. Mrs. Li stepped forward to reply, her voice trembling.

As the crown prince, in the face of the many crushing of the Changwang faction, he can only blindly swallow his anger, if it is placed in the past, the East Palace officials headed by him will definitely refute it, how can it give the Changwang faction a chance to breathe? It's just that the fact that the prince is not in the court today is known to all the ministers, but the Mocang monarch doesn't know that what he is doing now is just covering up the fact that the prince is not there, however, how can the Changwang party easily let go of this opportunity?

I'm afraid that paper can't contain the fire after all.

Mrs. Li's attitude really made Emperor Mo Cang a little curious, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "What does the prince think?" ”

I only heard a dead silence under the ninth-level stage, and Emperor Mocang raised his eyes, narrowed his eyes, and asked, "What does the prince think?" ”

Qiu Neiguan beside him saw that the situation was not right, and after sighing secretly, he hurriedly came to the ear of Emperor Mo Cang to remind him.

Hearing the fact that the crown prince was not in the court, Emperor Mocang was furious, and his feelings were still kept in the dark! He slapped the case again: "Has the prince ever taken leave?" ”

This fire is finally about to burn, Mo Cang Wuji has long been unable to bear it, he withdrew from the crowd, and stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, the prince has not taken leave, and the minister has already sent someone to ask, this should be half an hour!" Mo Cangwuji smiled secretly, and his heart burst into jubilation.

"Your Majesty, the current crown prince has long been overwhelmed, and I ask Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible." Tuoba Chi pressed tightly.

"Mrs. Li, as the prince's teacher, do you really have nothing to say?" Emperor Mocang asked Mrs. Li again.

Mrs. Li's heartstrings tightened again, and his back was already stained with sweat on his clothes, he obviously felt that the Mocang monarch had the heart to protect the prince, but if the prince did not appear for a moment, he could not act rashly, as the so-called concern is chaos, the prince has always acted in a very measured manner, what is the situation now, I am afraid that no one knows better than himself, all he can do is to try to buy more time for the prince.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Weichen ......"

"The prince has arrived!"

Outside the main hall, there was a sudden sound of communication, and everyone turned back to look, Mrs. Li knelt in the hall, and her heart finally fell.

In the eyes of everyone, Mo Cang, dressed in official robes, walked quickly from outside the main hall, walked to the front of the ninth-level platform, and bowed down: "Weichen is late, please forgive your majesty." ”

Mo Cang Wuji was already shocked, he looked at the prince in front of him over and over again, almost unable to believe his eyes, but every movement and every look of the prince was telling him that the person in front of him was indeed the prince, like a fake prince!

"Why is the prince late?" Seeing the crown prince, Emperor Mocang's attitude suddenly became extremely cold.

"Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty rewarded Weichen with a towering building last night, Weichen returned to the East Palace every time he thought of it, it was difficult to sleep, in the middle of the night, he simply took a few jars of wine, after a few hearty drinks, he finally fell asleep, who expected, this sleep was extremely deep, the maids did not dare to disturb, this sleep slept until three poles on the sun, it was late, and I hope Your Majesty forgives." Desert Traceless explained half respectfully and half humorously.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was extremely shocked, where did this seem to come out of the mouth of the prince? The prince has always been gentle and elegant, and his diet and daily life are also very regular, today's prince and the prince of the past are simply like two people!

Emperor Mo Cang was a little stunned when he heard this, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly. "It seems that the people who are serving in the East Palace are becoming more and more useless! Qiu Neiguan, pass on my will and give death to all those who serve in the East Palace! ”

Qiu Neiguan pinched the floating dust and hesitated a little: "This ......"

"No need! If Weichen wants to drink, no one can stop him! It's also in vain to kill them! "There is no trace of indifference, and his tone is full of unstoppable recklessness.

"Isn't the prince suffering from a cold disease? How can you drink late at night? I don't think the prince has contracted the cold at all! ”

"Prince, this is a crime of deception!"

The sound of impeachment suddenly rose, and the face of Mo Cang was always cold.

Hearing the voices of these snakes and rats, Mo Cang Wuji suddenly turned his head to look at the people who were standing behind Mo Cang Wuji, and smiled faintly: "Thanks to Your Majesty's grace, give the ministers generous gifts, Wei Chen is overjoyed, what's the harm in drinking late at night?" However, thanks to those jars of fine wine, Weichen now only feels refreshed, and it has the effect of medicine to eliminate diseases! ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar, and they accused the prince of being pampered and arrogant, and having no manners at all. Only Mo Cang stood aside coldly, and never said a word, he really couldn't figure out what this prince wanted to do!

"Neiguan Qiu!" Emperor Mocang scolded sharply, and the entire hall fell into a dead silence, and Qiu Neiguan bowed down in response. He suppressed the resentment in his heart, and said word by word: "I'm afraid the prince hasn't woken up yet, show the prince a seat!" ”

After saying that, he waved his hand and asked the people kneeling under the ninth-level stage to retreat one by one.

"Zhong Aiqing, what else do you want to play?" Emperor Mocang said in a heavy tone.

Seeing this situation, the words of impeachment of the prince swallowed their stomachs, and the ministers buried their heads very low, and acted extremely carefully, lest the rainstorm was coming.

Emperor Mocang raised his eyes and swept the audience, and when he saw that no one was playing, he waved his hand at Qiu Neiguan to signal the order.

Qiu Neiguan nodded secretly, walked to the front of the ninth-level platform, took out two holy decrees from his sleeve, and said in a loud voice: "Ji Qingyun, the secretary of the ministry, listens to the decree. Ji Aiqing had a meritorious role in rescuing the driver at the night banquet, and read that Ji Aiqing was loyal to our dynasty, and is now promoted to Li Sang Taishi, and the official is a first-class official. Master Ji, take the order! ”

Ji Qingyun knelt in front of the steps, without any expression on his face, he said respectfully in a sharp voice: "My emperor, long live, long live, long live!" In a sentence, I don't know how much pain I swallowed! He knew it was just beginning!

"King Chang listened. King Chang for the anti-thief, exhausted, sleepless all night, and was seriously injured for this, so handsome and talented, can be called a model of our dynasty, specially named regent! ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Mo Cang Wuji only felt a leap of joy in his ears, and hurriedly stepped forward to receive the holy decree.

Mo Cang sat quietly on the chair given by Emperor Mocang, and finally understood what his father meant, his father just wanted to tell himself, what is "like sitting on pins and needles"!

The sound of the special seal was very loud, like a thunderclap. For the anti-thief! To think something through! Sleepless night! Seriously wounded! What a high-sounding one! Mo Cang Wuxian finally understood that the wolf riders and pursuers all over the city should have been to arrest the thieves! And in order to put him to death, Mocang Wuji did not hesitate to gamble with the safety of Julong City and turned the bow and arrow chasing the enemy at him alone!

In the midst of many cheers, Mo Cang Wuxian sitting alone on the throne is no longer the heroic and unfazed Prince Mo Cang of the past! It's like a ghost crawling out of hell, full of bloodthirsty hatred and murderous aura!

"Retreat!"

At the sound of an order, the ministers shouted, and the entire gilded palace was surging.

The ministers withdrew from the hall in an orderly manner, and Qiu Neiguan took the first step, walked to the prince, and said secretly: "Your Highness stays!" ”
