Seeing the situation in front of him, Zhong Lijun's complexion did not change at all, he usually met this big housekeeper, even in front of the prime minister, he would never give this person a good look.

Si Hongzhi walked up with a few people, and in the same way, his eyes didn't look at Zhong Lijun even a glance, and he walked in front of Lan Hanxian like this.

Lan Hanxian's attention at this moment was completely focused on this great butler, he was supposed to go to the imperial city in person to see what the situation was, after all, he was the leader of Wanchen, a supreme minister.

"Prime Minister!" Si Hongzhi just called softly, and Lan Hanxian knew what it meant.

He then waved his hand lightly behind him, and the squires standing behind him immediately retreated.

And Zhong Lijun was still standing aside, and he didn't even move his position.

"What's the situation?" Lan Hanxian was a little anxious, after all, the people living in the southeast corner of the imperial city were all his people.

Si Hongzhi and Lan Hanxian's eyes looked at each other, how could Si Hongzhi not know how important those courtiers were to Lan Hanxian, it was better to say that the area where the fire started was inhabited by Lan Hanxian's henchmen, and there was no one else.

"Prime Minister, they were not burned to death by the fire, there is another reason. Si Hongzhi said bluntly.

Lan Hanxian already knew in his heart: "This sea of fire is just a pretense. ”

Si Hongzhi's eyes have always been firm, but at this time he began to look a little lonely, and he said: "Prime Minister, I never thought that they would be so vicious. ”

Zhong Lijun on the side also began to clench his fists, he could naturally hear what he meant, but what could he do.

In the Xuanwu Palace, although the imperial city is watery, but in this palace, it seems that nothing has happened, it is still the usual up and down courts, above the court, although the ministers are almost half, but the Xuanwu Emperor Xuanwu Zimu who is sitting on the throne is only silent, but sitting behind the throne, the Queen Mother Xuanwu Yang, who listens to the government, is talking endlessly.

All the ministers lowered their heads and listened carefully to every word Xuanwu Yang said, for fear of missing something.

"The secretary is still in the book. After the Queen Mother finished speaking, Xuanwu Zimu finally raised his head slightly, his face was angular, his face was so white, the emperor who was already twenty-one years old, looked as immature as nineteen.

His voice was calm, so that everyone immediately raised their heads to look at the emperor, in other dynasties, people almost all squeezed their heads to enter the court, even if it was a guard standing in the court, but in this Xuanwu Dynasty, although everyone also hopes to become a feudal official of the dominant party, but they definitely do not want to enter the court, the king is like a tiger, maybe one day he will be punished by the nine clans.

Hearing Emperor Xuanwu's words, the official Shangshu took a breath, and then walked out cautiously, after all, as long as it wasn't the Queen Mother who called him, it would be fine.

"Please command the Emperor. ”

The official Shangshu lowered his head, and his voice was still a little empty.

Xuanwu Zimu looked at the official department at this time, he hadn't spoken in the court for a long time, even Xuanwu Yang, who was sitting behind him, was a little surprised by Xuanwu Zimu's sudden speech.

"There was a fire in the imperial city yesterday, I want to know, how many officials in the court died in that fire?"

The official Shangshu was stunned for a moment, because he didn't expect that the emperor would consult about this matter, because the people in this court, who did not count in their hearts, this fire in the imperial city was definitely not caused by some accidents, maybe it was premeditated.

Since the incident happened in the early hours of yesterday morning, although our officials have immediately sent people to count them, but until now, it has only been an hour before the fire is extinguished, so we have not yet been able to have a concrete result, and we don't know if there are any survivors under the ruins. ”

Hearing this, Xuanwu Zimu frowned, and then the sound of "pop" immediately sounded in this court, and on the left and right sides of the court, the civil and military officials who were originally standing subconsciously immediately knelt down on their knees and lowered their heads.

The official Shangshu is naturally the most afraid, he kneels in the middle of the court, and he is also the most conspicuous, although this Xuanwu Emperor is not as murderous as the Queen Mother Xuanwu Yang without blinking, but although he has been with the Xuanwu Emperor for so long, his temperament is uncertain, but no one can figure it out.

Everyone was waiting for this Xuanwu Emperor to speak, only to see Xuanwu Zimu standing up at this time, Xuanwu Yang's eyes gradually took on some fierceness, she wanted to take a closer look, what did this Xuanwu Zimu want to do.

I saw Xuanwu Zimu walking down the steps, above the court, the sun shone in, it looked extraordinarily bright, and he stopped when he walked in front of the official book.

The official Shangshu knelt on the ground, he didn't dare to raise his head to look at the Xuanwu Emperor standing in front of him, for a few years, he never felt that the Xuanwu Emperor made him so scared as today.

Above the huge court, the silence seemed to be suffocating, and this official was even already drafting a suicide note in his mind.

"Today is the first time I've asked you a question, you tell me I don't know, can you be guilty?" Xuanwu Zimu said.

The soldiers standing around the court did not kneel, they stood straight, waiting for an order from Emperor Xuanwu or Xuanwu Yang at any time.

Xuanwu Yang was still sitting in his position, a contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, the bead curtain hung in front of her, there was no wind in the hall, but it was still gently floating and swaying, and the bead curtain and the bead curtain collided with each other, making a subtle sound.

"The minister deserves death, he failed to manage the officials well, failed to do the relevant work, and asked the emperor to punish him. The official secretary said immediately.

There was no so-called killing in Xuanwu Zimu's eyes, and it was extremely bland: "I'll give you one last chance, and after two hours, you will report to the palace of my bedroom, maybe you can do it?"

"Yes!" replied the official in a hurry, as if he had been given a chance to be reborn.

This conversation seems to be very ordinary, but Xuanwu Zimu's words made Xuanwu Yang's face suddenly become a little unsightly.

"Retreat!" Xuanwu Yang suddenly said loudly, stood up, turned around and left, and the guard of honor behind her immediately followed her.

At this moment, the eunuch standing next to the dragon chair didn't care that Xuanwu Zimu was still standing on top of the court, so he shouted loudly: "Retreat from the court!"
