Chapter 471: Dust Flying
Four watches, the world is dark.
The dark night, blown by the strong wind, rolled up the dust in the ruins of the harem and shrouded the entire palace.
Choking scorched, the smell of smoke and dust rolled endlessly.
The torches in the hands of the once-rolled brocade guards floated to the southwest and were almost extinguished.
"Whoa, ahem"
The sound of the wind blowing fire, accompanied by the sound of coughing rises and falls.
One after another, it has stimulated the minds of tens of thousands of people.
But no one spoke, silently busy with his own work at his post.
The atmosphere was depressing, eerie, and infuriating......
Especially the queen who had just been rescued from the fire, the mother and the palace maid, dressed in rags and dirty, gathered in the aisle behind the emperor and stood against the wall.
Everyone looked frightened and uncertain for the rest of their lives, accompanied by a slight trembling of their whole bodies, bowing their heads and not daring to move.
This made the atmosphere even more depressing.
It seems that they are all waiting for the emperor to speak.
But there is also a fear that makes everyone dare not squeak.
After all, the fire in the harem has a lot to stake.
First of all, how did the fire start, was it arson, or was it an accidental fire?
Or the beauties of the harem calculated with each other and instructed people to set fires?
It's all problematic.
You must know that this fire burned four harem buildings at once.
Of course, the harem buildings were independent of each other, and then divided by vermilion walls to form an independent palace courtyard.
Such as Cining Palace, Kunning Palace and so on.
Now four palace feathers have been burned down at once, killing and injuring hundreds of people.
Among them were the queen and several noble concubines, all of whom suffered some minor injuries.
That's a big deal.
Second, after more than an hour of investigation and evidence collection, no signs of arson were found.
This is intriguing.
Could it be an accidental fire?
Or did the arsonist die in the fire?
This is the final conclusion reached after a strict investigation by various ministries.
Well, this fire is too strange to burn, and it is too timely.
It happened to be at the critical time of the imperial army's crusade against the Boundless Palace, and it had to make people suspect that this was a deliberate arson.
Therefore, everyone in the harem is suspected of arson.
In the end, this fire was set by Wang Langjun, intended to play tricks on the court or ravage the emperor's mind.
Except for Wang Langjun's ability to come and go without a trace, no one else can disappear after arson.
To sum up, it is difficult to conclude the strangeness of this fire.
So much so that everyone present did not dare to squeak.
At this time, Li Shimin's uncertain face suddenly turned pale, and he turned to the ministers who were standing quietly on the left and right sides with their heads hanging down and said: "The decree is to strictly investigate the arsonists, investigate them one by one, and behead those who disobey the order."
In addition, General Wei Chi led his troops to Wuliang Palace to carry out the original plan.
The ministers took care of their official duties within three days, and then moved on to the state funeral to announce it to the world.
All departments cooperate closely and there must be no mistakes! ”
"The last general will thank you, and you can lead your troops to carry out the original plan......"
"Wechen obey the order, long live the emperor, long live long live......"
"The concubines obey the order, and the emperor mourns ......"
A cadre of people knelt on the ground one after another to receive the order, and shouted three long live.
The noise is loud and commonplace.
But at this moment, it is particularly harsh.
Like a sharp knife piercing Li Shimin's nerves, he couldn't help but change his face, but he didn't have a seizure, and threw his sleeves away.
Seeing that the emperor left, the queen was relieved as soon as the harem people were gone, and they got up and left one after another.
At this time, the ministers got up and sent the emperor and the queen mother away.
Among them, Wei Zheng stepped forward and stopped in front of the eldest grandson Wuji and said, "Lord eldest grandson, this time you are satisfied......
"Wei Sanben, why do you say this?"
The eldest grandson Wuji's face suddenly eclipsed, staring at the round-faced man in front of him, and gritted his teeth and asked.
It was in his favor that things had come to this point.
Regardless of success or failure, his will will be realized.
After all, he advocated that the emperor attack the Boundless Palace, and it was urgent to do so.
But the emperor has always been afraid of Wang Langjun's ruthlessness, and did not give the final order to attack.
It is only implied that he used means to force the soldiers and civilians of the Infinite Palace to comply.
And plotting against the captives to rebel is a strategy of surrendering without a fight.
But now it's different, the emperor has ordered to invade the Infinite Palace.
This kind of will has never happened before today.
Thus, this made more than half of his wishes come true.
On the contrary, this made Wei Zheng very dissatisfied, and seeing that he was gloomy and asked knowingly with a thin monkey face, he couldn't help but sneer: "Lord Eldest Sun, be careful to play too much and get into trouble!" ”
"Wei Sanben, you are slandering the emperor's holy judges, with ill intentions, could it be ......"
The eldest grandson Wuji is not stupid, and naturally knows that he is threatening himself to be killed by Wang Langjun's anger, but he has a plan to refute.
However, Wei Zheng didn't let him finish, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, you still want to say that I colluded with Wang Langjun to subvert the Tang Dynasty, which is outdated."
On the contrary, Wang Langjun is likely to be the arsonist.
Its purpose is to warn everyone not to provoke his Immeasurable Palace, have you thought about the consequences? ”
"Hmph, this is just your one-sided statement, and it is groundless.
You must know that the Qin prefect's flying pigeons, which were thousands of miles away, came to report that after Wang Langjun killed people, he rode the golden eagle to the northwest.
Besides, Wang Langjun pursued the man in black to avenge his revenge, which is a well-known thing.
It shows that he is now chasing the man in black and doesn't know where to run.
Therefore, this fire has nothing to do with him, it is you who confuse the ......"
The eldest grandson Wuji had already grasped the dynamics of all parties, and did not take his words seriously, but sneered and ridiculed him.
This made a group of important ministers watch the two of them pinch each other, watch from the wall, and watch the big show.
After all, all the major affairs of the DPRK and China are in the hands of the two.
Everyone knows a little about it, and just takes the opportunity to eavesdrop on one or two in order to know and protect themselves.
Of course, Wei Zheng also deliberately picked out the power, so as not to instigate the ministers to enter the pit and die for the eldest grandson Wuji, and die for the eldest grandson.
That wasn't what he wanted to see.
So, he glanced at the ministers and said: "The prime minister is dedicated to the public, unlike you who deliberately framed the prime minister to death.
Since you don't listen to the advice, then you can taste Wang Langjun's wisdom again.
I hope he will let you go again this time, hahaha......"
As he spoke, he walked out of the palace with his hands behind his back.
Leave an intriguing sentence that reverberates in everyone's minds.
This made the ministers feel a coldness, which penetrated deep into their brains.
It overshadowed the coldness that the night breeze blew over the ruined land.
Even the eldest grandson Wuji was trembling all over his body and began to doubt his life, could it be that this was really Wang Langjun's trick?
After all, Wang Langjun rode the Golden Eagle and flew thousands of miles, and it was estimated that it would take less than a day.
If Wang Langjun wants to make a fuss by going away and flying high, it seems that it is not difficult?
If this is the case, Wang Langjun's tricks will be terrifying.
This is clearly a trick by a designer to enter the game, and the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but be stunned.
Oh no, he stood trembling in the wind, afraid that Wang Langjun would set up a killing game.
…………
Thousands of miles away, the mountainside of Fulin Mountain, dense forest.
Wang Langjun sat on the stone with his back against the trunk of the tree, squinted and enjoyed the squeeze of Shangguan Wan'er's shoulders and said, "It seems that everything is on the right track, and we should also go......"
"Ah, what's on track?"
Shangguan Wan'er was stunned for a moment, stopped pinching the little hand on the child's shoulder, and asked with hot cheeks.
Obviously, she pinched her son's shoulders and definitely didn't think about children.
Wang Langjun felt the hot breath spewing out of her snorts, which was fragrant and made people think about it, and then said: "Didn't you see that the animal soldiers didn't report the military situation?"
This shows that Zhang Hai has stabilized those wounded soldiers and is on the right track of daily life, so why don't you wait? ”
"I don't believe it, that's more than 1,000 people, and Zhang Hai alone can't control ......"
"Or, let's take another gamble......"
