Chapter 128: The fire in the East Palace is not a disaster
Su Fengjin and the others did not stop, and seeing that the sun was about to set, she reined in and stopped. The people behind him also stopped, and a hundred-person light horse stopped in the dust and smoke.
"Wei rate, but what's the situation?" Chang Yanping asked suspiciously.
Su Fengjin has always felt uneasy these days, but the road has been unimpeded and smooth. She looked at a town at the foot of the hill in the distance, and she was afraid that she would not be able to reach it before dark, and if she could not make it, she would pass through the woods......
Seeing this, Guan Jiuyin took a step forward, "Childe thinks that Lin Zi is inappropriate?" ”
"I don't know, but I always feel a little uneasy, maybe I'm thinking too much."
"Not necessarily, everyone knows that we are going to escort the Shangdu group back to Beijing, and after returning to the capital, what the Shangdu group will say, will no one be worried? It's too quiet on the road. ”
"You think so, too?"
"Yes, it's a little weird quiet. But maybe we're just here now, and it's another team of light riders, so there's no need for the other side to attack. It's better to wait for us to escort the Shangdu regiment back, we have some scruples about doing it, and it is more suitable for pursuit. ”
At this time, Chang Yanping, who was behind, heard the conversation between the two, "Wei rate, Brother Guan, if you are worried, it is better for us to set off again tomorrow, and if we don't enter the forest or the town tonight, we will deal with it at the foot of the mountain for the night." ”
Fang Cun also agreed: "Yes, tomorrow will be dawn, and it will be safer." We have been running around for days, and there is still time to come, and it is not short of a moment. ”
Hearing this, Su Fengjin and Guan Jiuyin glanced at each other, "It's okay." ”
At that time, a figure galloped quickly from the field road towards Lizhou. The lips of the people on horseback have been chapped, and the water and rice have not run out for a few days, so they are in a hurry to arrive at Lizhou as soon as possible, and perhaps, it is this night that can change the situation between the DPRK and China......
Capital.
The cell was still clean, Cui Langru sat on the low couch and closed his eyes to recuperate, and someone came in and opened the chains of the cell. Cui Langru opened his eyes and saw a tall figure wearing a cloak standing outside.
The guard stepped back respectfully, and the man stepped forward to reveal his spotless white boots, and the moment he turned his back, Cui Langru saw the jade wrench with excellent color.
Seeing this, Cui Langru hurriedly knelt down, "The minister is incompetent, and he actually let His Highness set foot here." ”
"It's not that you're incompetent, it's just that the palace is incompetent." Suo Ji sneered and took off his cloak, "If it weren't for that, why would the East Palace have been overturned, presumably someone who doesn't like the palace has made you implicated." ”
"I don't know why this is so. Has Your Highness found any news? ”
"The crown prince and the prince have been arrested, presumably tomorrow the Qiansheng Palace will summon the palace, and if you don't investigate, you will know the reason. But before that, you need to think carefully about what is the gap between you and An Mingtai. ”
"The Ministry of Officials Shangshu An Mingtai?" Cui Langru frowned and thought for a moment, but sighed and shook his head, "Although the minister and An Mingtai are old acquaintances, they have no friendship. Could it be that this matter has something to do with him? ”
"The forbidden army arrested you after Lang Shihua went to the Qiansheng Palace, and Lang Shihua has been in frequent contact with An Mingtai recently, so the palace asked. If not, there may be another reason. ”
Listening to Suo Ji's words, Cui Langru lowered his eyes, and his heart was puzzled. I always felt that something was not right, Su Fengjin was far away from the capital, and the prince had just been released from the Zongren Mansion, and then he entered the cell......
"Your Highness!" Cui Langru raised his head in surprise and reminded: "Go back to the East Palace, don't worry about the affairs of the ministers for the time being." The minister always felt that this was not right, Wei Shu was not in the capital, and the minister was inexplicably imprisoned, and His Royal Highness was difficult to support, and he always felt that something would happen outside. If His Royal Highness is running around for his ministers at this time, he is afraid that he will plant the other party's strategy. ”
Suo Ji couldn't help frowning, "Only you and Su Fengyi are the closest to the East Palace now, what else is going on that they can use to make use of it?" ”
At this moment, there was thunder in the sky, and it seemed that it was going to rain.
As soon as Suo Ji walked out of the cell, he saw that the sky was red. His heart suddenly turned over the river and the sea, turned over his horse, and went straight to the East Palace.
Seeing that the person came back, Father-in-law Xi hurriedly greeted him and stopped him.
"What's going on?" Suo Ji asked in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, there was a fire in the East Palace, and now the Water Gate is being rescued, but it is windy tonight, I'm afraid the situation is not good."
Suo Ji glanced over, and sure enough, the fire burned half of the sky, not to mention that the entire East Palace was burned, but at least some were generally swallowed up in the sea of fire. At this time, only a bang was heard, and a temple collapsed, and someone in front of him exclaimed.
Suo Ji scolded angrily, "Waste! Not long after the main palace went out, the East Palace caught fire right under your nose. If the fire can't be controlled, just wait for your blood to put it out! ”
The fire in the palace is not a trivial matter, not to mention that the front and rear halls are connected, and the east palace is where the deputy is located, which is not conducive to the country. At this time, Suo Ji remembered Cui Langru's words, could it be that the other party took Su Fengyi away and imprisoned Cui Langru just to have a fire? There is no one around Suo Ji, but I am afraid that there will be more murderous people waiting.
The fire was not brought under control until the second half of the night, and the halberd had been staring at the horse's back until this time the east was white. Suo Ji's heart breathed a sigh of relief, except for the East Palace, he was not implicated in the side.
"Your Highness, now that the main hall has been burned, what can I do? Your Highness, where do you stay? Father-in-law Xi looked worried.
"Shelter? The first premise of settling down is to make a life! ”
Thousand Prosperity Hall.
"Your Majesty, the fire in the East Palace is not a trivial matter, fortunately, God blesses His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is fine, otherwise wouldn't my Daliang be in pain? I also ask Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate the fire. ”
After Duan Zaifu finished speaking, he heard Lang Shihua say again: "The cause of the fire in the East Palace must not need to be investigated, someone has seen that when the thunder hits, there is lightning on the roof of the East Palace Palace, which is caused by the fire. Your Majesty, the East Palace is the place where the deputy resides, which is a bad omen from God. ”
A bad omen? Everyone sighed in their hearts, this Lang Shihua climbed to the king of Yong'an, but he really dared to say anything. There is an ominous omen in the East Palace, doesn't it mean that Suo Halberd is the unknown reserve and deputy of the beam?
Duan Zaifu frowned, "Lang Shizhong is also a civil official, how can he believe such a false statement?" Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it is still necessary to strictly investigate. ”
"Duan Zaifu, this official also listened to what the palace people said, since someone saw it, it must be true, how can it be said that what this official said is false?" Lang Shihua retorted silently.
And Yue Fengshan, the head of the household, sneered: "Lord Zaifu is dedicated to the public, but the lower officials feel that this matter is strange, the prince and the prince have just been arrested, and the prince is not in the capital. The prince was not there with both civil and military forces, and the East Palace caught fire, isn't it someone who wants to murder the prince? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent.
"Your Majesty, there are kissing beasts in every palace, how can it lead to thunder and lightning? Is it possible or the Ministry of Industry cut corners, and when the East Palace was renovated this year, I forgot to add it? ”
"Yue Shangshu has wronged the official, even if the official doesn't care about the place next to him, how dare this official of the East Palace be ambiguous?" Shangshu Lian Cai of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly shirked it.
Qu Man, who was standing on the side, approached Emperor Liang Hui and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, since the adults have mentioned the signs, why don't you invite Qin Tianjian to come?" ”
