After the third watch, it has been firmly sitting on the first three first-class buildings in the capital, and it is still brilliantly lit, staggered, fragrant clothes and sideburns, and singing and dancing.

But the private room on the top floor was quiet, and the Chen brothers and Su Zhe were quietly eating and talking, which was incompatible with the atmosphere downstairs.

"Zhong Fang, you said, since the official family has opened the posture of wanting the King of Qi to succeed to the throne," Chen Yu asked puzzledly: "Why don't you just let him be the crown prince, wouldn't it be a hundred?" ”

"It's that simple. For many years, the government and the opposition have regarded Zhao Zongshi as the best candidate for the prince, and a force strong enough to change the imperial court has formed behind him," Chen Ke shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If the king of Qi is suddenly established, this force will be greatly disappointed and even frightened...... They were afraid that once King Qi ascended to the pole, they would be retaliated against, or at least squeezed aside by those who supported King Qi, which was unacceptable to them. If not handled properly, the consequences can be catastrophic. ”

"Actually, it's almost the same as easy storage." Chen said quietly: "Zhao Zongshi is not a prince, he is better than a prince, with the steady temperament of an official, he naturally has to be cautious." ”

"I feel a little worried," Chen Yu said with a smile: "You read the book a year ago, isn't it also thunder and rain?" ”

"That's because he was suppressed by Han Qi, and Zhao Zongshi became the governor of Kaifeng after all, and he could always give them hope, so there were not many officials involved." Chen Ke said: "No one dares to say, once the official family pierces the window paper, will those people unite to oppose the King of Qi and defend the truth, this risk is too great, and it will damage the prestige of the King of Qi." Therefore, the official family is now adding weight to King Qi, although it is a little late, but it can also be regarded as a remedy. When the prestige of King Qi can overwhelm Zhao Zongshi, it will be a matter of course. ”

"The so-called haste is not reached, this is the truth." Su Zhe said with a smile: "But if I come to play this game of chess, I will be the first to get Han Xianggong out of the capital first." ”

"That's right, Han Qi is Zhao Zongshi's staunchest supporter and supporter!" Chen Yu's eyes lit up and said, "Take down this guy." That's half the battle. ”

"It's a pity that you're not an official, big brother." Chen Yunuo laughed and said, "Besides, the official family is still worried that the tail of the Wenxiang Guild will not be big......

"These twists and turns, listening to them, I feel that my head is big," Chen Yu said with a wry smile: "It's even more complicated than the battle between the two armies." ”

"Isn't this a battle between two armies?" Chen Ke stood up as he spoke, pushed open the window, looked at the brightly lit city in the distance and said, "It's a night ......."

"yes, two hours to go. The year is over. The brothers also got up and walked to the window to breathe in the crisp air.

"Hey, that's where, it looks like it's on fire." Chen Yu pointed to a magnificent building in the distance.

When everyone heard the sound, they saw that the fire rose to the sky. The time of the landing overshadowed the lanterns all over the city.

"Alas, the harm caused by fireworks is so great that even the prince's mansion is not spared." Su Zhe shook his head and sighed: "It must be restricted." ”

"It seems to be the palace of Qingling County, right?" Chen Yu carefully identified it.

"Burn it well, burn it well...... Su Zhe immediately changed his words: "Only if the Yin family is also burned, will Kaifeng Mansion pay attention to it." ”

Chen Ke and Chen Yu glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of surprise from each other's pupils.

"Walk the water, walk the water!" The flames rose into the sky, and the inside and outside of the county king's mansion were already in chaos.

Meng Yang was awakened from his dream, and he didn't have time to call his subordinates, so he put on his clothes and shoes indiscriminately. ran out of the room and saw Lu Huiqing, who lived next door, also coming out in a cotton robe with an ignorant face.

"What's wrong, Mr. Meng?" Lu Huiqing has been under Zhao Zongshi since he voted for him. The performance was quite positive, Jiang Zhiqi was the one who rebelled, and he did a lot of dirty things that no one knows. finally succeeded in winning Zhao Zongshi's trust and became a member of the inner circle. In the past few days, there was a shortage of manpower in the palace, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to be on duty at night, which moved Zhao Zongshi.

"There's a fire in the back house." Meng Yang looked at the direction of the fire, and suddenly his face changed, and the girl ran back, and as she ran, she ordered: "You go and ask the guards to open the door quickly, don't delay the patrol soldiers to put out the fire." ”

"What about you?" Lu Huiqing asked behind him.

"I'll go to the back house first!" Meng Yang had already left the courtyard gate as he spoke, called more than a dozen guards along the way, and rushed into the Hanging Flower Gate.

It is said that the prince is not at home, and it is inconvenient for these men to enter the back house, but they are in a hurry to obey the power, and they can't take care of it much.

Fortunately, after entering, I found that the princess Gao was in danger, and had taken her children to an open place, and organized the eunuchs to fetch water to extinguish the fire, and the palace maids rescued the property.

"Niangniang," everyone jumped up from bed in the middle of the night, all of them were disheveled, some were barefoot, some were not wearing shirts, and they looked very embarrassed, and Gao was no exception. Meng Yang lowered his head and said, "Are the princes all right?" ”

"It's all right." Gao wrapped a white mink and frowned: "The northwest wind is so urgent, it must be burned to the ground now!" ”

"Now is not the time to talk about this." Meng Yang hurriedly said: "Please take the princess to the front yard to hide, and this place will be handed over to the ministers." ”

"Then there's Mr. Law." Gao sighed and said, "It's really worthless, just don't hurt people." ”

"Yes." Meng Yang nodded and urged, as soon as the Gao family left, he didn't care about what to put out the fire, and led people to the library pavilion, only to see that the surroundings were surrounded by flames, thick smoke was billowing out, although the library had a fireproof design, the doors and windows were already burning......

Meng Yang's complexion changed several times, and he finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "Smash the door open!" "It turns out that there is an iron general guarding the door.

Meng Yang's status in the mansion was lofty, and the guards naturally obeyed, drew their knives, saw it, slashed at the lock, and listened to the loud sound, and the lock fell to the ground.

"Guard the door, and don't let anyone in." Meng Yang gave an order and entered the Tibet.

After about a cup of tea, he opened the door and came out, and saw all the guards with anxious faces: "Ahem, but come out, we are surrounded by fire!" ”

Meng Yang saw that the fire was getting stronger and stronger, and if he didn't go out, he would risk turning into a barbecue.

"Let's go!" Meng Yang nodded, and was about to rush out, but was grabbed by a guard, handed him a watery sweat towel and said, "Cover your mouth and nose to prevent thick smoke." ”

Meng Yang didn't have time to think about it, so he took it and covered his nose, he couldn't help but feel dizzy for a while, and glared at the urn and said, "What smell?" ”

"I couldn't find water for a while, so I wet it with urine." A group of guards also covered their mouths and noses with sweat towels, protected him and rushed out.

It's important to save your life, and you can't care so much. Meng Yang covered his nose with that thing and rushed out, but after a few steps, he felt that the sky was spinning, and his eyes were dark, his feet were weak, and he fell to the ground.

"Mr. Meng has been smoked!" The guard, who handed him a sweat towel, carried him over his shoulder, carried him like a sack, and ran out......

When Meng Yang woke up, he saw Zhao Zongqiu's big flower face, although the face was flowery, it couldn't stop his concerned gaze: "Thank God, Mr. woke up." ”

Meng Yang only felt a splitting headache, his brain was blank, and he hissed, "What's going on?" ”

"You're swoken up in smoke." Zhao Zongqiu said: "Fortunately, the guards did their duty and resisted you!" ”

"The smoke has poured down,......" Meng Yang's consciousness regained little by little, "How is it now?" ”

"The patrol soldiers brought more than a dozen water hoses, and the guards also worked hard to put out the fire." Zhao Zongqiu said: "The fire has been controlled. By the way, do you want to drink water? ”

"No, you leave me alone." Meng Yang said: "The fire situation is important. ”

"My brother is there," Zhao Zongqiu said, "and Lu Huiqing, you don't need me." ”

"Let's go, when there are many people, one more person has one more insurance." Meng Yang hissed.

"Okay then," Zhao Zongqiu nodded and said, "I'll call someone in to serve you." ”

"No, I want to be quiet." Meng Yang said categorically.

Zhao Zongqiu shrugged and finally went out.

As soon as he left, Meng Yang pressed it on his chest, and it was empty! He almost lost his soul, and his hand quickly reached into the padded jacket, and he touched it inside and out, only to find that except for two rows of ribs, it was still empty! Even though it was winter, he was sweating profusely, jumping barefoot on the ground and turning over the bed, but still found nothing.

"It's broken...... Meng Yang's eyes were dark again, he forced himself to hold on, put on his shoes and stumbled out of the house, seeing that Zhao Zongqiu didn't go far, he hurriedly shouted: "Come back quickly!" ”

Zhao Zongqiu looked back and scolded with a smile: "You and I are a dog, come when you recruit me, and go as soon as you call?" Having said that, it turned back.

Meng Yang pulled him into the house, and before Zhao Zongqiu could stand firmly, he split his head and asked, "Who has touched me?" ”

"What," Zhao Zongqiu looked at him strangely and said, "You were taken by someone?" ”

"Right...... Ahh Meng Yang's face turned red and said, "I don't have time to gossip, I lost something!" ”

"What's missing?" Zhao Zongqiu was a little displeased, and said in his heart, what? Think I'm a thief?

"Damn it!" Meng Yang said in a trembling voice: "If that thing is lost, the prince, you and me, are all done!" ”

"What?!" Zhao Zongqiu finally became serious.

"Don't ask anything, you answer me, who touched me?!" Meng Yang asked urgently.

"Think about it," Zhao Zongqiu frowned, "When I came, I met a guard carrying you out, and then my brother asked me to take care of you, so I followed you to your room." During this period, the imperial doctor came to see you, only cut your pulse, said that it was not in the way and left, and did not touch you anywhere else. Other than that, there is no one else. ”

"What about the guards?"

"I'm back to put out the fire."

"Quick, go with me to them." Meng Yang didn't care about the weakness of his hands and feet, so he walked out. I saw that more than a dozen water dragons were already watering, spewing out white swaying water columns, making the backyard of the palace look like a big fountain. (To be continued)
