The news of the third victory in northern Xinjiang finally reached Chang'an. Outside Yanmen Pass, the Han army won a great victory, annihilating 100,000 Hun cavalry, and the three hundred miles of land, including the Hetao grassland, were all under control!

When several knights carrying the Red Feather Battle Report rushed straight into the North City Gate, and ran through Suzaku Street shouting all the way to the Vermilion Bird Street, the entire Chang'an City was boiling. Victory! This is a real big win! Such a victory, in the history of the battle against Beihu, not to mention that this dynasty has never had it, even if it goes back to the three generations of holy kings, it is also a great feat.

His Majesty the Emperor drove to the ancestral temple yesterday and was able to return in the afternoon. Such a major news cannot be delayed, and it is natural that after sorting out the specific situation, someone will be sent to Pegasus to report it.

Similar to the handling of these urgent matters, it used to be the responsibility of the prime minister, but now, the first thing to know about is the Shangshutai located on the inside of the Suzaku Gate of Weiyang Palace. All matters that need to be urgently submitted to the Imperial Review, no matter how big or small, will be classified, considered, and decided by the attendants or scholars who are on guard of the Shangshutai, and then decide on the urgency of the matter.

Today, the servants who stayed in Shangshutai were none other than Yan Zhu. Yan Zhu can also be said to be ambitious, he is not yet thirty years old this year, he is in such an important position, he is deeply relied on by the emperor, everything is handled easily, he feels complacent, and sometimes he is arrogant.

I think that at the beginning, he and the final army and Sima Xiangru were all sealed in cloth clothes because of their counterinsurgency efforts, which became a beautiful talk that spread all over the world, and became the idol of many civilian soldiers. Among the three of them, in comparison, Yan Zhu's position is more important than Sima Xiangru's titles of Doctor and Lieutenant of the Final Army. The Son of Heaven is close to the ministers, and after all, the road to the future is much broader.

Yan Suke is a person with political ambitions or ambitions, and as his vision broadens, something in his heart is slowly growing and expanding, and gradually growing. In fact, things in the world are like this, and on the big stage of the imperial court, if you don't advance, you will retreat, which can't be blamed on him.

His Majesty the Emperor was not in the palace, and most of the other colleagues were driving with him, and Yan Suke, who was guarding Shangshutai, felt very relaxed. When he came in the morning, he saw that there was no major matter to deal with, so he ordered his subordinates to make a cup of tea, sat down beautifully, and was about to reach out and look through the bamboo slips piled up on the case. At this moment, the Chang'an Mansion sent an urgent report.

Yan Zhu took it and opened it to see, he couldn't help but be surprised, and he couldn't care about drinking the tea, and after reading it at a glance, his heart gradually sank, and a terrible feeling suddenly came to his heart, and he remembered a casual remark when a certain palace chief manager met him on the way here just now, it turned out that it was for this matter!

“…… It's very hard to stay behind by yourself in the strict waiting, and you can be lazy when you have time! Of course, some major events need to be reported to His Majesty, like some small things that usually happen in Chang'an City, such as a fire or something...... Ha ha! You don't need to take up precious time and bother ....... ”

At that time, the two of them only exchanged a few words, and Yan Zhu only thought that the manager was joking, and he also joked with a smile...... But I didn't expect that people were serious! There are more than a dozen stewards in the Weiyang Palace, and several of them must not be offended. Among them is this manager named Huaien, because he is the chief manager of Yilan Palace, the big celebrity next to the Queen Mother!

“…… The fire in the Changle Houfu was not extinguished overnight, and after all-out fighting, it was finally extinguished. The Hou Mansion has been burned down, mostly in rubble, and the casualties are unknown. For specific matters, the Chang'an Mansion is making every effort to find out the ....... ”

Yan Zhu, who was given the title of Marquis of Guannei by the emperor for his great contribution to quelling the rebellion in Dongyue, looked down again and felt a terrible headache. His eyes seemed to flash with the light of the fire, the screams of struggle and the conspiracy in the night. He knew that from now on, he had fallen into a difficult choice, life and death, honor and disgrace, maybe just a thought......!

The same headache as him was Chang'an Ling Yao Shang. Before dawn, he was urgently woken up by the people in the palace who were patrolling the night, saying that something was wrong, and the Changle Hou Mansion didn't know what was going on.

Yao Shang got up as soon as he got up, and ran out without even putting on his clothes, his subordinates had already prepared the carriage, he climbed on it and sorted out his clothes, while urging him to hurry up!

A long time ago, in the Chang'an Mansion, Yao Shang was known as a "think tank". Under the command of Lord Jidi, he gave advice and solved many problems. Later, he succeeded Ji Huang as the commander of Chang'an, and he handled things inside and outside Chang'an City very handily, continuing the peace and stability of the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, and he can be called a "follower".

On the way to the emergency, Yao Shang listened to the situation report of his subordinates, and thought quickly, and he instinctively felt that the situation this time must not be simple. Yuan Zhao was out on the expedition, and this happened at home, and the Hou Mansion caught fire? If it's an accident, it's okay to say, but if there is really something else involved, then I'm afraid it will be another uproar, or even a bloody storm! Thinking of Yuan Zhao's audacity and actions in the past, Yao Shang felt shuddered.

Perhaps it is the answer to the saying, "Good does not work, bad spirits." Yao Shang prayed along the way that it was an accident, but the situation was as bad as he had a hunch. When he came to the street in front of the Changle Hou Mansion and saw the fire that had spread, after listening to Yun Meng, who had a gloomy face, come over and say a few words, his heart sank to the bottom of the sea.

Yun Meng has been the head of the Chang'an Mansion for many years, and his sources are naturally wide. It doesn't take much to get a clear idea of what is going on. A few years ago, this iron-blooded man had already become close friends with Yuan Zhao. At this moment, the anger in his heart was also burning like the sky-high fire in front of him, but it was only his duty, and some angry words could not be said clearly.

“…… What about the casualties? Yao Shang's voice was a little hoarse.

"I don't know, I can't figure it out yet. It happened so suddenly, and the fire was too big....... ”

"...... the ins and outs?"

"It's roughly clear, although the exact identity of the perpetrator is not yet known."

"I'll play the emperor's place right away. You....... ”

"I understand, I don't need to say more. There are some things that maybe he should know in advance about ....... ”

"Well, we ...... That's all I can help. ”

The two have been partners for nearly 20 years, and they naturally understand the meaning of each other's words in one look. The so-called heart-to-heart treatment, the so-called love is greater than the law, in many cases, this is the tacit understanding in the heart.

At the same moment, in the Mingyue Building, Ji Ying, who heard the news, chopped the several cases in front of him in half with a knife! He was remorseful and hateful. If he had known that such a thing would happen, he should have used the influence of the Ji family to settle things in the restaurant yesterday. Now there is no way to regret it.

If Su Hongyun and Lingzhi have any three strengths and two weaknesses, don't say that they will no longer be able to face Yuan Zhao in the future, even if they are in the rivers and lakes, the reputation of the Ji family will be completely over. You must know that back then, Su Lingzhi's grandfather, the Zhu family, had a life-saving grace for Ji Bu, and now under the eyes of the Ji family, even the orphans left by the Zhu family can't be protected, so what face does it have to live in the world!

Ji Ying gave an order, gathered all the people, and ordered all of them to go out to find the whereabouts of the Su family's mother and daughter and the people in the Changle Hou Mansion, no matter what they found or heard, as long as there was news about this, they would all be collected. Since the matter was caused in Mingyue Tower, the Ji family must have an explanation!

There are still many people in Chang'an City who know the news at the first time, shocked, sad, anxious, worried, gloating, and fueling the troubles...... All kinds of emotions began to brew, and different forces with various purposes were secretly carrying out their own actions.

When the latest news of the victory at Yanmen Pass reached Chang'an at this juncture, Yan Zhu, who was guarding Shangshutai, finally made his choice. He immediately sent a flying horse to the emperor's residence outside the city to report this great news! And the news of the fire was quietly suppressed by him. Anyway, His Majesty the Emperor will be back in the afternoon, and it will not be too late to tell him by then. In the face of national events, this small personal grudge should not be a big deal if it is pushed back first......

In half a day, you may not be able to do anything, but you may be able to do a lot! And for many, driven by the forces behind them, their crazy actions began. And because of their madness, this matter has been pushed to the point of being out of control.

After thinking that he had befriended the nobles in the palace, the Yan Zhu Service Center could go out, and the Shangshutai scribe named Qiu Zigan came in and took the opportunity to pack up his things, unfolded the Chang'an Mansion and quickly glanced at it, and then quietly put it away as it was, turned around and retreated.

A moment later, Qing Song, who had been promoted to the head of the imperial dining room of Weiyang Palace, got the news. It was with the help of the relationship between Yuan Zhao and Fan Xuelou that this Qingsong chief sat all the way to the most lucrative position in this palace. While secretly surprised in his heart, he thought for a moment and went straight to Jianzhang Palace.

However, Mrs. Wei is not in the palace today. As Wei Zifu, who is about to become the queen of the Han Dynasty, together with the crown prince Liu Ju, he drove out of the palace.

With such a big news, someone in Shangshutai dared not report it to His Majesty the Emperor immediately, the conspiracy behind this, even if Qingsong was only a eunuch, he was aware of it. Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly saw a green figure passing by at the end of the corridor, it was the eldest princess of Li'an, Suxi. He hurriedly trotted over, too anxious to salute, and urgently informed her of what he had heard, so that she could quickly think of a way!

Princess Suxi was shocked when she heard the news! She would never have thought that such a thing would happen for no reason, no wonder Lingzhi and Mrs. Su have not come to Jianzhang Palace in the past few days...... How good is that!
