The subordinates are not allowed to serve in the door, the Zhongshu waiter Yingzeping, and the Shangshu servant shoots Xu Xu, these three are the chief officials of the three provinces of Menxia, Zhongshu and Shangshu, and the so-called prime ministers of the common people are also.

Coupled with Meng Jin, the governor of Zhongshu Province who was pulled by the three of them, it just happened to make a table of mahjong.

The original intention of the three prime ministers was that Meng Jin was a favorite of the official family, and they must know a lot about why the official family chose Jiang Shu as the heir and prince, because they specially pulled him to ask.

Who knows, this table of mahjong will be served together with the pot.

There is a house in the political hall, and there are five rooms for officials, households, soldiers, rites and punishments, but because of today's Double Ninth Festival, hundreds of officials are on holiday, so they are all empty.

The entire hall was empty, except for a few scribes on duty.

In the capital hall where Jia was not allowed to work on weekdays, the four high-ranking officials and bigwigs sat on the chairs in turn, listening to the sound of the fire outside, feeling the increasingly strong heat wave, their bodies were sore, their limbs were weak, and they didn't even have the strength to move their fingers.

They were not frightened by the fire, but drugged.

In addition to the high-ranking officials of the three provinces and six ministries in the political affairs hall, how many waiters and doctors come and go on weekdays, and how many scribes and Kongmu who assist in the office, with the status of these bigwigs, how can they pay attention to a little scribe who pours tea and water.

Today, there was no one in the political hall, and the four bigwigs came in, just to sign and seal the edict canonizing Jiang Shu as the crown prince.

A scribe with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes and ordinary clothes came in and poured tea for everyone.

Naturally, everyone drank it unsuspectingly.

Who knew that a cup of tea would become a fish to be slaughtered.

And the edict that had just been signed and stamped also fell into the hands of Jiang Yang, who was disguised as a scribe.

Jiang Yang sat in the middle of the main hall of the capital, playing with the edict, and turned a deaf ear to the panicked shouting outside.

Outside the political affairs hall, the forbidden army in front of the palace has surrounded the entire fire scene.

The civil and military officials who had not yet left the palace were isolated outside the right door.

Lan Wei, the commander of the front division of the palace, was being questioned by Jiang Fang and Jiang Yan.

"How did Jiang Yang appear here?"

Lanwei was busy, and ordered the army to patrol the water truck to come over to put out the fire; On the other hand, he commanded the forbidden army present to use the original several large water tanks in the government hall to control the fire and avoid the spread; On the one hand, he ordered his subordinates to shout to Jiang Yang, demanding the release of the four officials; On the other hand, he also asked people to send the sharpshooters in the army to come over, looking for a high place to ambush, waiting for an opportunity to move; On the other hand, I have to make some drafts and ask someone to report to the official's house.

In a hurry, he replied: "Several scribes who stayed in the government hall today have been taken down, and according to what they said, they have not seen Jiang Yang coming in and out of this place, and I don't know where he came from. ”

Jiang Fang suddenly frowned: "Could it be that he fell from the sky?" ”

Lan Wei said: "This place is located in Ouchi, and the patrol duty is very strict on weekdays, not to mention that there are many office contacts in the political affairs hall, if Jiang Yang had appeared earlier, he must have been discovered." That is, today, hundreds of officials are resting, and there is no one in the political hall, so he has the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. ”

Jiang Fang and Jiang Yan were still waiting to ask again, and Du Yuhou, who was ordered to shout to Jiang Yang, came running sweaty.

"Jiang Yang said that he wanted to talk to the officials."

Lan Wei was furious: "Bastard! ”

Du Yu waited: "He said that if the official family does not come, every quarter of an hour, he will kill a minister." ”

Everyone's hearts suddenly tightened.

The four ministers are in his hands, and the weight is really not light.

Lan Wei couldn't, snorted, and said: "He has a hostage in his hand, for the safety of the four ministers, I can only promise him first." ”

Among the many officials onlookers, there was Tang Sanwu, a scholar from the middle school.

He said in a loud voice: "Commander Lan needs to preside over the overall situation here, and I will report to the official's house." ”

After speaking, he picked up the corners of his robe and ran away, although he was fat and stout, he was very flexible and fast, which surprised everyone.

At the same time, the military patrol paved the water truck in place and began to spray water at the fire in the government hall.

Who knows, after the fire was suppressed by the powerful water dragon, it rebounded and jumped up, becoming more and more violent.

The people who patrol the shop are experienced, and after a little investigation, they found that there was a large amount of tung oil lacquer in the fire field.

Everyone under the right door was forced back by the overwhelming heat wave.

"How can there be tung oil lacquer in the political hall?"

Lan Wei said: "The clerk who asked the clerk in front learned that the government hall was in disrepair for a long time, and the paint on the doors and windows everywhere was peeling off and old, and it was being repainted and repaired recently. ”

Tung oil lacquer was not originally set on fire. But Jiang Yang put a fire first, and after the fire started, the temperature became higher and higher, and finally ignited the tung oil lacquer.

As a result, it is impossible to extinguish the fire with a hose, and sandbags can only be mobilized urgently.

At this time, Tang Sanwu came back.

"The official family has arrived at the Wende Hall and ordered me to talk to Jiang Yang."

Lan Wei said: "Tang She people be careful. ”

Tang Sanwu stood against the firelight, and through a small piece of white land cleared out in advance, he approached the capital hall of the political affairs hall.

He was fat, and as soon as he approached, he was roasted by the fire and sweated, and his mouth was smoked by the smoke and coughed a few times, and finally cleared his throat and shouted to Jiang Yang:

"The official family ordered me to talk to you, you have rebelled, robbed and killed the clan, and held the prime minister hostage, which is already a heinous crime, I advise you to release the four adults as soon as possible, and arrest them with your hands tied, otherwise the end will be miserable, and it will be too late to regret."

His voice fell, and Jiang Yang's laughter came from inside the fire.

"Hahaha......"

"I've already lost my family, and I'm afraid of a tragic end."

"It's ridiculous!"

Tang Sanwu shouted: "Don't you have brothers and sisters, don't you have Uncle Weng's wife and children? ”

Jiang Yang said coldly: "I don't even care about my own life and death, will I care about other people's lives?" Brothers and sisters, each according to the destiny of heaven; As for the wife, oh, on the day of the catastrophe in my Lu Wangfu, the Sun family stood by and watched, how could they have ever extended a helping hand? If he is ruthless, don't blame me for being unjust! ”

Lan Wei, Jiang Fang, Jiang Yan and the rest of the ministers all gathered around and heard the conversation clearly.

"Jiang Yang has gone crazy."

"Unreasonable, unreasonable!"

Tang Sanwu turned his head and said in a low voice: "Although he is unreasonable, the three ministers and Meng's participation in politics are in his hands." ”

If it weren't for the purpose of saving the lives of the four hostages, why would the official family send him to negotiate and burn Jiang Yang to death, wouldn't it be inconvenient.

He shouted again: "How are you willing to let the three ministers and Meng participate in politics?" ”

There was a moment of silence in the fire.

Then came Jiang Yang's voice.

"The official family immediately abolished Jiang Shu's position as the prince and made me the crown prince! With a single decree, I will release the four of them at once. ”

"How's that, it's easy enough, right?"

Tang Sanwu was so angry that he wanted to jump his feet, a simple ghost!

The rest of the people were also shocked and angry.
