"Ah Niu, did you see what that white shadow was just now?" The fatter man shuddered.

"I didn't ...... Not...... I didn't see it clearly, it passed in a flash, you said...... Could it be ......?" stammered another, thinner man.

Then, the two met each other, and they ran away together screaming and disappearing. After running for a while, the two stopped out of breath.

"Aqing, look back, that thing, did it catch up." Ah Niu held his hands on his knees and gasped.

"I don't dare, otherwise, let's turn our heads together." Aqing proposed.

"Okay, count to three, let's look back together." Ah Niu gritted his teeth and said.

It's better for two people to watch it together than to watch it alone, at least there is one brave man. Thinking of this, Ah Qing and Ah Niu glanced at each other, turned their heads and looked at the past, the empty streets were still the same as usual.

"Alas, I'm really scaring myself, let's continue to fight, just now, I must have been dazzled." Aqing comforted himself.

"yes, yes, let's go." Ah Niu urged.

But before they could take a few steps, they smelled a thick smell of smoke, and turned their heads to see that a raging fire was burning not far away, and the fire was soaring to the sky, and the husband was frightened, and he was busy striking the gong vigorously, and shouted loudly that the granary was water, and the granary was water......

The Kyoto prefectural government stumbled out of the room, and rushed to the scene of the fire without bothering to dress the official office.

"Oh, what can I do about this, this is the grain and grass to be transported to the border and the winter clothes of the soldiers." Kyoto Prefecture Yin patted his thigh and said.

He wished that nothing in front of him was real. These things have been burned, and the emperor will definitely take off his head.

In the palace, as soon as the emperor fell asleep, Zhang Qing hurriedly ran in and knelt on the ground with a pop.

"Your Majesty, it's not good. The grain and grass stored and sent to the border gates, as well as the newly made winter clothes of the soldiers, were burned. Zhang Qingzhan knelt on the ground tremblingly and said.

"What? All burned? Quickly let people announce that Taifu Gu entered the palace. The Emperor said hurriedly.

"Yes, the minion will go." Zhang Qing was about to leave, but was stopped by the emperor again.

"Wait a minute, you send someone to inform Mrs. Gu to come over, and I want to leave the palace in Weifu." The emperor said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, it's so late, it's even more profound, you ......" Zhang Qing wanted to dissuade him, the emperor, after all, it was so late, nothing was arranged in advance, if there was a case, how could it be?

"Don't dissuade me, go and call the commander of the Royal Forest Army, and Lao Jiu, I'll be fine." The emperor said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Zhang Qing arranged for someone to inform Gu Taifu and King Huai, and here he took an indigo regular dress for the emperor to change into.

Zhang Qing and the commander of the Imperial Forest Army also changed into civilian clothes and followed the emperor out of the palace.

By the time the Emperor came to the granary where the military headquarters had stored its belongings, the fire had already been extinguished, and most of the contents were already there

It was burned, and the emperor frowned slightly when he saw this.

When Gu Taifu saw the emperor, he was just about to salute, but was stopped by a gesture from the emperor.

Gu Taifu stepped in front of the emperor and said softly: "The emperor's fire is weird, although it is already late autumn, it is impossible to burn so cleanly." ”

"Well, I also think it's strange, the warehouse of this military department is guarded by special personnel, how can it suddenly catch fire? Lao Jiu, you go with Mrs. Gu to check, don't let people take advantage of the loopholes. The emperor said in a deep voice.

King Huai and Gu Taifu came to the door of the warehouse together, and Gu Taifu asked the soldiers guarding the warehouse how the fire was burned. But the soldiers on guard said that they had not seen anything, and that the fire had suddenly started on its own.

How can this be believed? The fire started on its own, and if there were oil lamps in the vicinity, or if there was a strong wind tonight, it could have caused a fire. However, although it was windy tonight, there were no oil lamps hanging in the vicinity.

Huai Wang was checking now, and suddenly there was a person carrying the items inside, and he bumped into Huai Wang, and Huai Wang just wanted to have a seizure, but he found that he had an extra note in his hand.

King Huai stepped aside, unfolded the note, his face turned pale, and hurriedly walked to the remaining items that had been burned, and tore open the sack, there was only a small amount of grain in it, most of which was sand, and even some of them didn't even bother to load the food, all of them were sand.

Then he walked to the side of the cotton clothes, tore off one of the cotton clothes, and a lot of catkins floated out of it.

When King Huai saw this, he was about to die of anger, his fifth brother fought hard at the border pass, but this king was sent to the border pass with such a thing, if these were sent to the border pass, this battle could not be fought, and even the hearts of the 100,000 army were afraid to be cold.

If those soldiers don't know the reason, they will directly open the Tangting Pass and let the enemy drive straight in, then wouldn't the Great Zhou Dynasty be doomed?

Thinking of this, King Huai sent someone to guard everything, walked quickly to the emperor, and told the emperor what had happened.

This can be regarded as a preventive injection for the emperor in advance, so as not to faint from anger for a while.

The emperor stepped over, and when he saw it, it was just as King Huai said. "Lao Jiu, go and send someone to arrest King Ding and the military department Shangshu to me, I want to see what they want to say." The Emperor said angrily.

"Yes, Erchen will do it." King Huai knew that if it was a small military department book, it would be convenient to arrange for the Kyoto government to take his own token, but King Ding was a royal family after all, and there were a few ministers in Kyoto who dared to be enemies.

King Ding was still drunk in the mansion at this time, and even the people sent by Lin Xiang to find him were blocked out of the mansion.

When King Huai came to Dingwang's Mansion with the people from the patrol camp, King Ding, with a drunken face, sneered: "What? There are no tigers and monkeys in the mountains to call the king, don't think that your fifth brother will come back safely, and when he dies, I will put you all to death, so that you will never have the opportunity to compete with me for the throne in your life. ”

Dingwang

This remark scared Lin Xiang and the others into a cold sweat, this king is really a fool, it doesn't matter what he thinks in his heart, but he can't just say it, is he still afraid that others won't be able to catch his pigtails?

Lin Xiang and Ning Guohou now just thought that the warehouse where the military department stored the materials was burned, and they were all sent by King Ding. Even if the emperor is angry, he will not punish the king, besides, he is not a soldier guarding the supplies, and when the time comes, he will put the blame on the guard, that is.

But what they never expected was that King Ding would actually do something with these military materials, which is not just to investigate the cause of the fire, but to trace back to the source and find out who moved these materials.

"Brother Dingwang, my father is already at the scene of the fire, let this king take you over, offended." After finishing speaking, King Huai waved his hand, and several soldiers from the patrol battalion stepped forward to set up King Ding.

King Ding wanted to get rid of it with all his might, but he was drunk now, and he didn't have any strength at all, and it was impossible to get rid of the shackles.

On the other hand, Lin Xiang, Ning Guohou and others are not fools, since King Huai was sent by the emperor, if they stopped it, they were sued by King Huai to the emperor's side, and the charge of colluding with the courtiers would be confirmed.

When King Ding was brought to the emperor, his eyes were blurred, and he glanced at the man in his regular clothes in front of him, "Father, you haven't rested yet, and the son is happy today, so I drank a few more glasses, and asked my father to punish him." After finishing speaking, he laughed a few times.

Seeing this, the emperor glanced at King Ding with disgust, "Lao Jiu, with the evidence, and this guy entered the palace, I personally watched him sober up." ”

"Yes." King Huai said respectfully.

As soon as the emperor was about to leave, the crown prince stumbled over, hugging the emperor's leg and crying, "Father, it's great that you're okay, Erchen heard that the warehouse of the military department is running out of water, and my father is also here, so I hurried here, father, such a dangerous thing, you don't want to do it in the future." ”

The prince's cry was very loud, attracting a lot of onlookers, especially his father and son, the emperor originally wanted to hide his whereabouts, but this is good, all of which exposed this stupidity.

No matter how angry the emperor is, there is no way, who makes his best son unwilling to be the crown prince?

The emperor and his entourage returned to the palace, and the emperor ordered a large wooden barrel to be placed outside the palace, and ordered a group of eunuchs to pour cold water on the head of King Ding.

King Ding's spirit wine also woke up, and when he saw the eunuchs who poured cold water on him, he immediately scolded, "Dog slave, so bold, which one dares to kill this king?" Is it that guy from Lao Jiu? When the king ascends the throne, the first one will kill him first. ”

King Huai, who was standing beside the emperor, pursed his lips, and did not take King Ding's curse to heart, for so many years, he had heard more ugly words than this, what is this.

When King Ding turned his head and saw it

When the emperor was sitting, he was slightly stunned, why didn't anyone remind him? I don't know how much my father heard what he said just now?

King Ding knelt in front of the emperor, and just as he wanted to defend himself, King Huai asked people to put the evidence in front of King Ding.

King Ding frowned slightly, how could he be discovered so quickly? It hasn't been shipped to the border yet.

"What do you have to say about this?" The Emperor said angrily.

"Father, the ministers don't know about this matter, how can there be so much sand for this good grain, and this cotton clothes......" The more King Ding said, the more he had no confidence, after all, there was so much evidence in front of him, and it was not easy to shirk it.

"You don't know? Hum! It seems that I am too tolerant of you on a regular basis. The Shangshu of the Criminal Department, put King Ding in the prison, and interrogated me word by word, there is a little adulteration, and I will take off your head together. ”

"Yes, yes, the minister must investigate thoroughly, and he will never dare to adulterate at all." The Shangshu of the Criminal Department said hurriedly.

At that time, in the Rui Wang's Mansion, Gu Yunxin was sitting at the table, holding a book in his hand, and looked at the person in front of him lightly, "You mean, the father really put King Ding in prison?" ”

"Yes, Princess, it's all in your plan. It's just that I don't know if this time, the emperor will be soft-hearted and let the king go. ”

"No, what King Ding did not only disappointed the emperor and many courtiers, but also made the people hate him. Everyone hopes that the border pass can end the war smoothly, but King Ding is doing something about these things, and if he wants to die, the concubine will naturally not stop him. Let people continue to monitor the Marquis of Ningguo's mansion and report me at any time. Gu Yunxin said lightly.

"Princess, why don't you send someone to keep an eye on Prime Minister Lin's mansion?" Xiangzhi scratched her head suspiciously.

Hearing this, Gu Yunxin hooked her lips slightly and was silent, and drank the milk tea in her hand......
