Chapter 226 Civil officials, military generals, and relatives

The court did not fall silent because of Zhao Yu's faintness in the Baosheng Palace,

Instead, things became more and more chaotic and agitated. At this time, the nine prime ministers of the court had already entered the palace and met in the Yanhe Palace. Outside are the domestic servants they brought, thousands of people, inside and out, cooperating with the forbidden army to protect the palace gates. The city is also under martial law, and the sleepless city of Bianliang once again encountered a rare curfew, and the city was flooded with forbidden soldiers, who ordered the people to go home, and even the time to pack up was very short for the hawkers.

After a while, on the silent street, you can see a lot of leftover night market food, jewelry, and even more messy on the ground, shoes, broken bowls, chopsticks, and leftover food on the ground.

An elder whispered: "Since the alliance of the abyss, there has been no such prohibition, this is a phenomenon of chaos!" ”

Song Renzong in the Yanhe Hall was wearing bright yellow civilian clothes, and he didn't have time to wear ornaments, just wrapped a simple black rhino horn belt around his waist, and there was no hairpin on his head, but he was covered with a wingless black gauze hat, and a lot of hair was exposed, and the lord of a country showed a hesitant and panicked look.

Several prime ministers in the palace were no better, all of them were wearing civilian clothes, and Lu Yijian was quite decent, with an official robe on the outside. Wang Deyong, the deputy privy envoy, was even more draped in armor, and when he walked, the sound of clanging bells was endless, and the breath of a golden iron horse rippled in the air. Holding the long knife at his waist, he turned his head from time to time to look outside the hall, showing a defensive look.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps sounded, including Song Renzong. They all looked at the temple gate involuntarily. I saw a man coming in from outside. Uniform leather belt. Wearing a crown of armor, there are no weapons on his hands, and he thinks that he has given the doorkeeper a straight hand in the door.

The general is not very tall, medium in stature, but also sturdy. Walking in, fifteen or sixteen steps away from Song Renzong, he saluted Song Renzong. "The former secretary of the palace is waiting for Li Yonghe, and he will meet the official family!"

"Uncle Guo, please get up. What's going on out there? Song Renzong hurriedly asked anxiously.

Although several ministers did not ask, looking at their expressions, they thought about what they were thinking, and it was also what Song Renzong asked.

Li Yonghe straightened his waist, his dark face showed a bit of bitterness and helplessness, and said: "The fire is nothing, it has been saved, it is to burn two attics and three bungalows, it is ......"

"What's that? But people didn't catch it? "Lu Yijian took a step forward. Asked.

Yan Wenying, who was waiting beside Song Renzong, lowered his eyebrows and listened to the words. couldn't help but change his face slightly, and secretly pricked up his ears. However, all the prime ministers looked at Li Yonghe and waited for his reply, but no one noticed his abnormality.

Li Yong and Song Renzong made another move. "The minister is incompetent, and the demon escaped! However, after inquiry, it has been determined that the demon is wearing eunuch clothes. It's just that I don't know if it's a demon who infiltrated the palace as a lieutenant official, or a demon who pretended to be a lieutenant! ”

Song Renzong's face changed greatly when he heard this, he was anxious and angry, and these two speculations could be described as worlds apart. The former means that there may be believers in Maitreya among the eunuchs, not to mention poisoning, in case there is a bold and bold person who suddenly pulls out a sword in the palace to assassinate the royal bureaucracy, what should it be? Song Renzong doesn't want to live in a day of fear, is this the emperor? It's even more bitter than the death row inmates in the prison.

Death row inmates know when they will die, and although they will be frightened before they die, they can deal with them with a little peace of mind before. What about Song Renzong? Maybe you will be poisoned when you eat a mouthful of food, or maybe you will be shot by a hidden arrow when you walk on the road.

For a king like Song Renzong, who was not very firm in his mind, this was even more terrifying than death.

Cai Qi, the governor of the political affairs, was furious, and said to Song Renzong: "Official, this matter must be thoroughly investigated!" ”

Song Shou, the deputy privy envoy, was also furious and said, "The official family must be thoroughly investigated!" ”

After a pause, Song Shou glanced at Wang Deyong and snorted coldly: "This matter can't be investigated by the forbidden army!" ”

Wang Deyong's face changed slightly, he must see that he is a martial artist, and he can be the official position of privy envoy Tongzhi, and he still has a certain heart. He heard Song Shou's subconscious meaning, and he clearly suspected that the forbidden army was colluding with outsiders! I was ashamed and angry in my heart, but I was angry a lot on weekdays, and I didn't dare to attack, but I pinched the handle of the knife at my waist and made a slight squeak.

Li Yonghe's face was no better, and his originally dark face turned purple at the moment.

Although one of them is the nominal boss of his family, and the other is Du Yuhou, who is above 10,000 people under one person in the front of the palace, and Li Yonghe, who is the uncle of the country, Song Shou is the youngest of the nine slaughterers, and he is only forty-five years old this year!

is the so-called thirty old famous scriptures, fifty young jinshi. In the imperial examination, the fifty-year-old Zhongjin Shi is amazing, not to mention the forty-five years old, he has already served as the prime minister, and is the privy deputy envoy of the Privy Council.

This inevitably made Song Shou a little arrogant, especially in the treatment of military attaches and relatives, Song Shou was even more unscrupulous. Because this matter is known to people outside, there will be no scholars who say that Song Shou is domineering, but that he is not afraid of power. This is also the helplessness of the relatives and generals of the Song Dynasty, the mountain of scholars is too big!

I only heard Song Shou say bluntly: "Not to mention whether the Maitreya demon climbed over the wall to enter the palace, just this set a fire, and after missing several attics and bungalows, the forbidden army of the front division of the palace found out." With such ability, the minister thinks that the forbidden army needs to be rectified! Maybe there are greedy people in this forbidden army, who were bribed by the Maitreya demon to protect it! ”

Li Yonghe was furious, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, and glared at Song Shou through gritted teeth: "The attic and bungalow were all built by me at the beginning of the Great Song Dynasty, and they were all made of wood, not as good as this year's brick and wood construction." In addition, tonight's strong wind, the wind fuels the fire, how can it not be called a raging fire? The former division of our temple has done his best to put out the fire, and for this reason, eleven people have been burned to death, and nearly 100 people have been burned! Why not do your best? ”

"It's a must!" Although Song Shou was polite and polite, he was not stunned at all by Li Yonghe and this general, he glared at him and sneered: "The ancients were ashamed and brave, if Feier and others were derelict in their duties, how could there be such a fire?" If it weren't for dereliction of duty, how could it be so desperate? It must be that you are afraid that the court will find out, so that you can take the credit for tonight! ”

When it comes to playing tricks, how can Li Yong and this military general be Song Shou's opponents? was so angry that Li Yonghe's face became more and more purple, if it weren't for Song Renzong and several prime ministers, maybe Li Yonghe would have pulled out his knife and slashed Song Shou.

Song Shou saw that Li Yonghe was speechless, so he was so proud that he said disdainfully: "What's the matter? Did you tell the official? Warriors, vulgar too! ”

Song Renzong was also a little stunned, and just wanted to speak, but suddenly heard a "sonorous" sound, but it was Li Yonghe who pulled out the long knife on Wang Deyong's waist.

Song Shou was taken aback, but although this guy has a poisonous mouth, he still has a bit of backbone. Although his eyes were timid, Song Shou did not retreat, gritted his teeth, and said, "Yanhe Palace, dare to kill someone?" ”

Don't say that you actually want to kill people in front of the Son of Heaven, but directly ask you if you dare to kill? is not afraid of arousing Li Yonghe's anger at all and making things out of control.

A flash of disappointment flashed in Li Yonghe's eyes, and Huo Ran knelt down on one knee, dragging the long knife with both hands. Suddenly said: "The minister is willing to die and show his innocence!" ”

Seeing this, Song Renzong's heart jumped up to his throat, and then he put it down slightly. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He smiled bitterly and said, "They are all ministers in the same hall, why bother?" ”

After a pause, Song Renzong said: "Uncle Guo, get up, I believe that you have absolutely no collusion with the Maitreya Sect!" ”

When Li Yonghe heard this, his kneeling figure couldn't help but shake, and his resolute face showed a look of loss. Don't look at what Song Renzong said nicely, in fact, the subconscious meaning is that Uncle Guo believes in you, but those people below you, I can't say it.

The privy envoy Wang Sui was a good man, and when he saw that things were too stiff, he hurriedly came out to ease the atmosphere. "The official family, as soon as the fire broke out in the ban, Uncle Guo has been running around, dealing with firefighting, catching demons, and martial law in the ban, and he is tired of thinking about it. Please let Uncle Guo rest in the side hall! ”

Song Renzong also understood that Wang Sui asked Li Yonghe to separate from Song Shou, don't make any trouble when the time comes, it will be troublesome.

But don't think that Wang Sui is a good person, Wang Sui is still on the side of the scholar in the end. Song Shou and Li Yonghe had a conflict, and the result was that Song Shou continued to stay in the Yanhe Hall to discuss matters, and Li Yonghe ran to the side hall to rest, which was actually to avoid Song Shou. There is no need to say which of the two is more important.

Li Yonghe naturally knew that he didn't want to leave like this. When he saw Song Shou in the future, did he still need to raise his head? At that moment, Li Yonghe returned the long knife to Wang Deyong and stood up. He glared at Song Shou hatefully, and said solemnly to Song Renzong: "Official, please report another matter to Rong Chen!" Then rest in the side hall! ”

In the end, it was his own uncle, Song Renzong hesitated, finally nodded and agreed, and said: "Uncle Guo, don't be too reluctant, just talk about this matter, and go to rest, so as not to tire your body!" ”

Song Shou, Wang Sui and the others were a little dissatisfied, and it was not good to make trouble about this matter.

After Li Yonghe thanked Song Renzong, he paused, and then said, "There are three strange things about this fire! First, the arsonist was not caught, but he got a token of Maitreya, which seems to have been done by Maitreya. Just think about it, since the people of Maitreya were able to escape, why did they leave behind the tokens? ”

Yan Wenying was afraid of being discovered by others, so he couldn't help but justify: "I think it fell in chaos." ”

Li Yonghe retorted with a sneer: "Yan Duzhi is too naïve, right? The Maitreya Sect began to secretly rebel in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, how could such a cult cultivate such a helpless moment? Unexpectedly, the token fell in the chaos! ”

Song Renzong and the enthroned prime minister couldn't help but nod secretly, although Li Yonghe was both a relative and a martial artist, and was looked down upon by scholars, but what he said did make sense.

Yan Wenying was in a hurry, but it was not good to speak anymore, otherwise he would be suspicious, wouldn't he not confess himself? I had no choice but to be secretly anxious in my heart on the one hand, and on the other hand, I looked desperately at Lu Yijian, who was on the side, with an old god there.
