Bai Tang knelt down and said loudly: "Songzhu Zhai practice Bai Tang, see His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Xu Qiu'an sighed: Yes. Clever hands and feet, clear mind. Didn't scare peeing your pants. Not bad.

The emperor hummed, and he was a little moved in his heart. He was bowed down to by the people of the world, but for the first time, he felt unprecedented admiration from a commoner.

The eunuch called: "Get up!"

Bai Tang got up, Xu Qiu'an had already jumped to his side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do you know?" Fang Yushi sued my brothers! ”

Who are your brothers? Bai Tang quietly took a step back and raised his eyes to the Wenchen queue: "What crime?" ”

"He, sue us for collusion, hoarding Zimu, burning the official warehouse, disrupting the market price, and obstructing the relocation of the capital! Is it an unforgivable sin? ”

Bai Tang lost his voice and said: "Burn the official warehouse? It was the official warehouse that caught fire last night?! ”

Fang Yushi snorted coldly: "The official warehouse is on fire, you don't know about such a big thing?" ”

Bai Tang quickly wrote down the appearance of Fang Yushi, frowned and smiled: "Lord Fang is an official of the DPRK and China, and he is well-informed. Ordinary people like us, although we have heard about it, but before official confirmation, how can we spread the word at will? ”

Fang Yushi's eyes widened for a moment: This, this- how can he refute this?

Qiu An chuckled: "Lord Fang, I heard that last night was damaged by lightning and caused a fire, and it was not only in the official warehouse!" Does Lord Fang think that the fires yesterday and this morning were all committed by me and Bai Tang in collusion? ”

The corners of Fang Yushi's mouth hooked a sneer, and the bottom of his eyes was extremely cold: You two boys, you are still tender!

The emperor was stunned: "There are other fires?" ”

Ying Tianfu Mansion Yin hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty is gracious." Wherever the lightning hit last night, more than 30 houses were damaged and 13 fires broke out. There were four more serious cases. Fortunately, there were few casualties. ”

The emperor's face was instantly extremely ugly: this sign would normally be understood by the people as the imperial power was angry with Providence! Heavenly punishment!

Damned!

These two words came out of the hearts of the ministers, and for a while, you looked at me, I looked at you, they were all drenched in cold sweat, and they didn't dare to speak.

Fang Yushi made a decisive attack! He fell to the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty will inherit the great unification according to the will of heaven, level Mongolia, sail to the ocean, shock the four seas, and return to the heart of the world." Yesterday was nothing more than lightning and thunder, not to mention many fires. Look, this is by no means a curse, or a man-made disaster is greater than a natural disaster! ”

The hall was horribly quiet for a while.

Wei Guogong was cold all over his body: Fang Ming, he actually wanted to tamper with the punishment of heaven into a disaster! Let Bai Tang and Qiu An carry this black pot! What a poisonous heart!

The emperor's expression was inexplicable, and he couldn't see half of it.

Xu Qiu'an was not a fool, and quickly understood Fang Min's intentions. He pressed the cold air in his heart, and was about to open his mouth to scold, but Bai Tang grabbed his arm and said loudly: "Fang Yushi has some truth. ”

"You're crazy—" Joan's eyes widened, "it's a capital offense!" ”

Bai Tang knelt down again and said loudly: "Why does God want His Majesty to confess his guilt as soon as there is any movement?" If it is said that the Yellow River floods are not conducive to the prevention and control of officials, His Majesty is not unjustly charged with the unfavorable use of unknown inspectors. But the earth dragon turned over, the drought and flood, the flood and snow disaster, what does it have to do with Your Majesty? Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs! The ancients have long made the truth clear and clear, why did the people of my generation go backwards? ”

Fang Yushi's mouth opened wide in surprise. He, he, he, he- a white coat, how can he be so eloquent?!

He peeked at the emperor's face, the corners of his mouth that couldn't stop being raised, and the cold aura that scattered and lit up made him scream that it was not good!

Lian Baitang's words, Jane is in the emperor's heart!

Although in order to fool the people, the emperor often issued an edict after natural disasters, but which emperor is not aggrieved? Today's saint is wise and powerful, but this throne was snatched from his nephew, and it was a time when he was stubbornly resisting the opposition of the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military forces to move the capital, if it fell on His Majesty's head, the consequences would be unimaginable! That's why Fang Yushi dared to move the Dongjiang River. But what I didn't expect was that this kid Lian Baitang was too TMD to speak!

The crown prince looked at his father's expression and smiled knowingly. He asked aloud: "Then what do you think caused the fire inside and outside Nanjing last night?" ”

Bai Tang guessed who this white and chubby person sitting at the emperor's head was. Kowtowed: "Your Highness." Lightning causes fires, which is a common occurrence. There are many thunders and lightning in summer, and it is also common sense. As Fang Yushi said, man-made disasters are greater than natural disasters. This man-made disaster lies in the fact that knowing that there are many thunders and lightning in summer, why didn't you do it early? Knowing that lightning is easy to ignite, you should guide lightning and avoid lightning in advance-"

"Lightning and lightning avoidance?" The crown prince interrupted him, turned his head and asked, "Lord Zhong." Can there be an owl on the roof of the warehouse? ”

The plover is a metal object used by the ancients to install on the roof to protect against lightning, and it is often used as a fish shape.

Lord Zhong should have found out everything clearly last night, and at this time he bowed down and said, "Your Highness, this warehouse is newly built. Indeed, there were no owls. ”

The prince asked again: "Are the people who were struck by lightning inside and outside Nanjing equipped with lightning protection?" ”

Lord Zhong was silent for a moment, and then said, "The owners of the house who were struck by lightning are all poor. ”

Hundreds of officials, oh, ah, the sound of one after another.

A poor family, how can there be money to pretend to be an owl!

The crown prince bowed his head and said, "Father." What Master Fang and Lian Baitang said was good. Yesterday's disaster was indeed a man-made disaster greater than a natural disaster. If you have loaded the hermit in advance, why not? ”

King Han, who had always been proud, changed his face slightly at this time. wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhu Neng, the prince of Chengguo, with a cold look.

He could only swallow his anger and glared at Bai Tang with resentment. A thief with a clever tongue!

The emperor was refreshed and said, "What the prince said is reasonable. Lord Zhong, immediately investigate the placement of the plover in the city and properly handle the relevant matters. ”

Lord Zhong hurriedly responded: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Fang Yushi was stunned again: He, he didn't mean that! Why did things go the other way?

When he saw the wind turning the rudder, he immediately kowtowed heavily, shouted "Your Majesty is wise", and after leading the court to praise him, he pretended to be puzzled and asked Bai Tang: "Lian Gongzi." There is still something unclear about this official. ”

Bai Tang smiled and responded: "Lord Fang is polite." ”

Fang Yushi didn't talk nonsense: "The official wants to know, why are you hoarding so much wood?" ”

The court suddenly fell into an eerie silence again.

Even Xu Qiu'an stared at Bai Tang speechlessly for a while.

Bai Tang blinked, as if he didn't quite understand the meaning of his question, and said, "Buying so much wood is naturally to build a house!" ”

Coaxing, laughing upwards!

Even the emperor couldn't help but squeeze his eyes with the national teacher: This kid, a thief slips his head!

Xu Qiu'an gasped: Build a house? How could he not have thought of it!

Fang Yushi was so dry by laughter that his face turned red: "You, how big a house do you want to build, and you need so much wood?" ”

Bai Tang said as a matter of course: "You adults don't know. There is no strength in the body before the next. There is only one study shop next to it. Fortunately, it cooperated with the Qin family to sell tea, which was quite profitable. Choosing a place to build a house is a top priority. Thinking about it, I raised my eyebrows and exclaimed that five generations will be in the same house in the future. Therefore, it was decided to build a large garden in the south of the Yangtze River. When you do the math, the more wood you have, the better. It's just that the land is hard to find, so I bought the wood back first. It just so happened that Xu Sanye was enthusiastic about the ancient road and found a place for me to temporarily store wood. ”

This reason can't be refuted!

Fang Yushi laughed dryly: "I see." Lian Gongzi is rich! ”

Bai Tang smiled and said: "I don't dare to be rich." Building a house is a century-old undertaking. I don't dare to take it lightly. He paused, bowed down and kowtowed, "Just like Your Majesty's construction of the capital of Beijing, it is a 10,000-year plan for the benefit of the society and the future." Bai Tang is willing to give all the wood in his hand to the court to solve the urgent need! ”

Fang Yushi's body shook and silently retreated into the Wenchen queue, his lips tightly closed, and his hands and feet were cold. I was full of regret in my heart: I shouldn't have let Lian Baitang enter the temple to face the saint. It should be directly said that His Majesty's three divisions will interrogate him and put him in prison. At that time, how to decide the case, it was not up to them to decide?

However, the emperor was reluctant to take Xu Qiu'an to take the blame, so he gave Lian Baitang a chance to turn over in front of the palace!

In the eyes of the emperor, handing over the timber was nothing more than a general and even opportunistic act. But the sycophant of "moving the capital to Beijing is a 10,000-year plan for the benefit of the community in the future" just hit the dragon's buttocks! Zhu Di smiled: This kid not only knows the general situation, but also a talented person with vision and insight! A word of appreciation was condensed in his mouth, but he swallowed it back, but asked: "I can't take so much wood from you for nothing." What reward do you want? ”
