The three people who don't mention the culprit, in the Ouchi Palace, the lights are also brilliant at the moment.

Zhao Yan was originally enjoying a comfortable dinner in the harem, watching the pleasing singing and dancing, and suddenly Zhao Hui hurried under the leadership of a little eunuch in front of the palace.

The heart is tight.

This is a harem, there is no major affairs of the family and the country, even if he is the commander in front of the palace, he is not allowed to trespass.

bowed his head and said to the queen, and then went to his father, Emperor Zhao Gou and Empress Dowager Wu, and then left the table and came to the side, exempted Zhao Hui from the courtesy, and asked, "What happened?" ”

Although it was cold in early spring, Zhao Hui was sweating profusely, "Official, it's not good, there will be a disaster in the royal street lamp, the people are trampling on each other, the dead and injured are in disarray, I'm afraid something big is going to happen." ”

Zhao Yan's heart tightened, and he asked urgently, "What's the situation?" ”

"There was a fire in the middle of the royal street, and the people rushed to flee to form a torrent, although it was controlled by the forbidden army, but the dead and wounded were everywhere, and the lower officials did not dare to hide it, so they came to report to the official's family and ask for disposal." Zhao Hui wanted to die in his heart.

At the time of today's court meeting, the official family also said that Zhao Qing's family was responsible for the security of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, and they should be careful not to have accidents everywhere, but this kind of big thing really happened, and after this incident, I am afraid that my hat will not be able to be saved.

Zhao Yan was anxious when he heard this, "Is the fire under control?" ”

Zhao Hui wiped the sweat from his forehead again, "I'm trying to extinguish it." ”

Zhao Yan said to Xie Shengtang who followed: "Swing and hang the arch hall." "At this time, it is already night, it is impossible to summon the people of the Criminal Department and Lin'an Mansion into the Ouchi, and all government decrees need to be transmitted from the Ouchi.

Although Zhao Hui is responsible for the security of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, he is also responsible for the security of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in the Ouchi Palace, and he is only on duty in Da Nei tonight in line with the idea that the emperor values the people lightly.

The news I got was also reported aloud by listening to people on the wall of Heningmen.

On the way to the Vertical Arch Palace, Zhao Yan had already thought about everything, and immediately asked after sitting down, "Zhao Hui, how many forbidden troops are there outside the city?" ”

Zhao Hui didn't think about it, "The official family has repeatedly told the court today, and Weichen has arranged six hundred forbidden troops outside the city. ”

Zhao Yan frowned, "Shangyuan Lantern Festival, the flow of people on the royal street is like a tide, and the six hundred forbidden troops must not only maintain order and evacuate the crowd, but also control the fire, I am afraid that they will not be able to catch it." ”

Zhao Hui reminded: "The official family, there are also soldiers from Lin'an Mansion. ”

Zhao Yan waved his hand, "You can't expect the soldiers of Lin'an Mansion to spread my will, open the Hening Gate, send out a thousand forbidden troops, control the fire as soon as possible, and minimize the disaster." ”

When the words landed, Zhao Hui and Xie Shengtang exclaimed at the same time, "Official, no!" ”

Opening the palace ban at night is not a trivial matter.

The royal family of the Great Song Dynasty expressly forbade it: the gates of the imperial city were closed after dark, and they would never be opened before the court meeting.

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there has only been one night palace ban so far, that is, that night palace ban, which led to the Great Song Dynasty from the Taizu line to the Taizong lineage.

Of course, the emperors who got the lineage of Taizong did not want this kind of thing to happen again, so in the following hundred years, the descendants of Taizong repeatedly reiterated this ban, and the ban on opening the palace at night has risen to a political level.

Once the people of the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Imperial Court know about this, even if the official family's move is to help more victims, but that group of imperial historians and counselors are in charge of so much, they will inevitably be bloody in the officials' family.

Partially, your official family can only swallow their anger and listen and admit their mistakes.

Zhao Yan said helplessly: "Now I can only do this, I can't watch the fire spread and burn down the house." ”

Zhao Hui wanted to say something, but Zhao Yan didn't let him say it, "Don't worry, tomorrow, those imperial historians and officials will scold me for being bloody, and I will admit my mistake in a low voice." ”

Xie Shengtang was still not at ease, "But the big official, in case there is a young person who takes advantage of the night opening of the palace gate to sneak into the imperial city......

Zhao Yan glanced at Zhao Hui.

Zhao Hui immediately said categorically: "Weichen stands in the Hening Gate, and he opens the palace gate tonight, but he can't go out!" ”

Zhao Yan nodded, "Xie Shengtang, let people go out of the city with Zhao Qing's family to pass the decree, and the Criminal Department and Lin'an Mansion will jointly investigate thoroughly, if it is a natural disaster and a fire, it is necessary to find out the cause, if it is a man-made disaster, then ......"

Zhao Yansen grinned coldly, if he dared to make trouble on the Shangyuan Festival, then Zhao Yan would not be polite!

It was night, and the palace ban was wide open.

It is precisely because of this that when Li Fengwu looked for Wei Wei and came to the outside of the Hening Gate, he saw that there were forbidden troops coming out of the Hening Gate, and Li Fengwu was surprised in his heart at that time, Zhao Yan was really bold, and he really dared to open the palace ban at night.

After Zhao Hui went, Zhao Yan sat there, with a trace of depression on his face, it is almost conceivable what the consequences of the fire that broke out in Yujie during the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, if someone set the fire on it, it would be fine, if it was a natural disaster...... So where is your face going?

Just after ascending the throne for more than a year, such a bad thing happened, isn't it that I, Zhao Yan, lost his morality and was condemned by heaven?

Could it be that I, Zhao Yan, want to issue an edict again?

Zhao Yan smiled bitterly, his heart was sour, this emperor is not easy to be......

Xie Shengtang said gloomily on the side: "Official, don't worry about this matter, Zhuge Shangshu will definitely not embarrass you." ”

Zhao Yan nodded, "I hope he can understand, but I'm afraid that he will pretend to be confused, and then the whole world will have to see my jokes, so that the Song-Jin peace talks will fall into greater passivity." ”

The Son of Heaven is immoral, and you still have to fight against Dajin to cause war, which really makes people resentful.

Heaven is angry and resentful, and the Son of Heaven does not want to see it.

Zhao Yan was rubbing his forehead with a headache, and saw a eunuch running into the vertical arch hall, Zhao Yan remembered that this person was a personal eunuch next to Zhao Gou, the father of Deshou Palace, but after seeing him salute, he asked: "The emperor sent slaves and maids to ask the officials, but that-"

The eunuch didn't dare to say the latter words.

How could Zhao Yan not know his father's thoughts, and waved his hand, "Go back and tell my father, it's just that there is a fire on the Royal Street of the Lantern Festival, not the southern invasion of the Jin people, please let his old man enjoy singing and dancing with peace of mind, and I will personally go to Deshou Palace to play chess with his old man." ”

After the eunuch retreated, Zhao Yan smiled bitterly at Xie Shengtang, but didn't say anything.

Xie Shengtang understood Daguan's thoughts, but he didn't dare to say it, he couldn't tell the officials that our emperor was frightened by the Jin people, maybe Deoksugung Palace was already busy packing up and preparing to go south into the sea at this moment.

The emperor's fear of the Jin people has reached a staggering level, even in normal times, there are countless people in Deokshou Palace who are ready to clean up at any time, and in the coastal area, there are big ships on standby at any time, as long as there is a wind and grass, our emperor will flee from Lin'an Da Nei and take refuge at sea.

This is well documented in the history books.

Zhao Yan was silent for a long time, eventful spring.

Tomorrow's court meeting, how to deal with the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Imperial Academy?

Thinking about it, Zhao Yan felt that his head was big.

The key is that Zhao Yan is still worried about whether Tang Siwei will grasp this matter, force himself to accept the conditions of the Jin people, and compromise to cede the four states to sue for peace, thus cutting off his last hope for the Northern Expedition.

If that's the case, that's trouble. (To be continued.) )
