On this day, it was a little different from usual, and the hundred officials were mentally prepared when they set off.

Today, Gongzi Cen Xi is the first time to go to the court, in the Jinluan Palace, the three sons of Emperor Zhou gathered, in addition to this matter, Qin Yan, one of the three princes, has not arrived, and the vacant seat is also very conspicuous, this major event is clear to everyone, and they know each other tacitly, knowing that last night's fire suffered heavy losses, and it has long been spread to the ears of Emperor Zhou.

The hundreds of officials had different thoughts, exchanging glances with each other, and there was no fixed number in their hearts, so they had to tidy up their appearances and wait for the arrival of Emperor Zhou.

Sure enough, Emperor Zhou was as imagined by hundreds of officials, his face was not good, and Cen Xi's return to the dynasty made him happy, but who knew that this kind of thing would happen again.

All the officials thought that Emperor Zhou had not slept well, and there seemed to be a few more wrinkles in the corners of his eyes.

When the ministers finished saluting, Emperor Zhou waved his hand impatiently and said, "Get up and talk to me about business." ”

Lord Cao made a big decision, prepared the evidence and rhetoric in his hand, how did he know that Emperor Zhou made a preemptive attack and took back the small step he had just taken.

"Li'er, I heard that you put out the fire in the Qin Mansion all night last night? How is the situation now. ”

Gongzili knelt down on one knee and said: "Back to my father, the son's rescue was not effective, and the Qin Mansion was all burned to ashes, affecting more than a dozen people's families, and the son-in-law has sent someone to temporarily settle them in the outer courtyard of the palace, and the body of Lord Qin has not been found." ”

Emperor Zhou's eyes were as deep as the sea, although he was looking at Gongzili, he was thinking about another person in his heart, it turned out that no matter who he was, he had been an official for many years, and no matter how upright he was, he would learn to be strategic and cunning.

That's it, as long as he doesn't keep himself in the dark, he will watch a game of hundreds of officials, see who will kill the deer, can help him clear the court, in order to balance the court over the years, he opens one eye, closes one eye, if there is a sharp blade in his hand, of course, it must be used to the extreme, the high position, the greatest convenience is to see clearly.

Emperor Zhou finally waved his hand, motioned for him to get up, and said, "You did a good job, but if you find out, why did the Qin family catch fire?" ”

Lord Cao's hands trembled, hidden in the hundred officials, holding his breath slightly, except for him, those who participated in this matter, hearing Emperor Zhou's question, were also cold hands and feet.

Gongzili didn't know the little Jiujiu in the hearts of these people, and replied: "The fire was only extinguished this morning, and the sons came to the court, but it was scorched black, and the father and the emperor felt that everything had been burned by the fire." ”

Emperor Zhou's eyebrows furrowed even more, and said: "Continue to investigate, how could the Qin family catch fire for no reason, you are the one who witnessed this fire, and this case will be handed over to you to investigate!" ”

Those who have ghosts in their hearts watched Gongzi Li receive the order, and only felt that one heart was up and down, and they couldn't be calm.

Gongzi Yu was silent when he heard this, and there was something unspeakably strange about this matter.

This matter fell on Gongzili's head, and it is understandable.

Cen Xi never said a word, his father was not yet able to give him real power, he just needed to go to court every day, show his face, and let all the officials not forget his existence, if he held real power too early, it would be tantamount to being killed.

After all, Master Cao missed the opportunity to strike first, and secretly congratulated himself that he did not rush in, he had to endure it and wait for the opportunity to slander Qin Yan, after all, the arson was done secretly last night, if Gongzili couldn't find out anything, he didn't have to wade into this troubled water too early.

After leaving the court, Gongzi Yu went to visit Mrs. Ru.

Mrs. Ru also had a lot of troubles on her hands, and her face was a little haggard than before.

As soon as Gongzi Yu walked in, he saluted, and said straight to the point: "Mother, there was a fire in the Qin Mansion last night, what do you think?" ”

She was also worried about this matter, the sudden fire in the Qin Mansion also made her feel strange, if Qin Yan died, the matter of Shaoqing of Dali Temple would also be solved, she asked: "Is Lord Qin sure that he was burned to death?" ”

"You don't know, my mansion is so far away, and you can still see the red-hot half of the sky, the fire is so big, where can I leave the bones." Kyaukyue served his favorite tea, and he picked up the cup and took a sip.

Mrs. Ru instructed Jiaoyue: "Childe hasn't had breakfast yet, go and bring some snacks." “

Mrs. Ru thought about it, that is, she did not find the bones, she wanted to see people alive, and she had to see corpses when she died, saying that there were no dead corpses, and Mrs. Ru always felt uneasy.

"You have to keep an eye on this matter, this palace has not interfered in this matter, we have to withdraw and watch the fire from the other side, but also be careful that the fire burns on our bodies."

"Erchen understands, but Erchen thinks it's strange that who has the courage to kill the court officials, but they are from the nine clans."

Mrs. Ru said with a smile: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, just like Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who has been forced to a dead end by Qin Yan, if he planned this arson case, I won't be surprised, although he is bolder, one thinks of heaven, one thinks of hell." “

It just so happened that Jiaoyue came over with a snack, and both mother and son had a strange feeling, Mrs. Ru stood up and slapped the table, so frightened that Jiaoyue knocked the dim sum on the ground, and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "The slave should die, the slave should die." “

"Mother!" Gongziyu reprimanded: "Useless things, don't pack them up yet, get out." “

Mrs. Ru glanced at Jiaoyue, who was cleaning up the mess, her hands were cut out of a wound because of the porcelain pieces, and the blood was not stopping, she looked at it like this, and said to herself to the little eunuch beside her: "Quickly go and pass Lord Wu into the palace." ”

Gongzi Yu stopped: "Mother, no, if it's really him, wouldn't summoning him into the palace now be what you said to provoke the fire, I'll go investigate first to see if he did it." ”

Mrs. Ru said, "It's okay, you can go and investigate quickly." ”

"It's a bit tricky, my father has already handed it over to the third brother to investigate, mother, if it's really him..."

"An outcast, find a way to clear up the relationship, lest he jump over the wall and bite us."

Gongzi Yu got up and was about to leave, when he remembered something again: "Mother, the seventh brother has also entered the court, and his body looks weak and can't help it, and he doesn't know what to do." “

Mrs. Ru said: "Your grandfather has already reminded me of this matter, you can go, the top priority is the current matter." ”

Cen Xi's Mrs. Ru had already planned, the seventh son entered the court, Yu Huai grabbed military merits, Yu Xiang was the person she didn't win back then, and now she has become a big help for the seventh son, they are gradually emerging, and the battle between the court is really getting more and more intense.

Mrs. Ru grabbed her cuffs, and it didn't matter who was blocking the way in front of him, and the one who stood in my way died.

No matter how noisy it is, Yaoji is always quiet here.

"Childe, your wound is scabbed, Sir's medicine is really strange, and it will definitely not leave a scar when you rub it."

The girl in the Seven Kings' Mansion is also chattering, always talking to Yao Ji, but she regards this place as her home.
