After a busy day and a day of anger, Chen Yuantai felt very tired. He ordered Chen Xi and Ding Shifeng, the new secretary of the Ministry of Works, to preside over the cleaning of the old hall of the Taihe Hall and the reconstruction of the new hall, and ordered Li He, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, to assist from the side.

When I came out of the Qianqing Palace, it was already sunset outside, and I couldn't see the sudden wind and rain last night. Chen Xi lowered his eyes and looked at the eunuchs outside the palace who were busy cleaning the blood stains on the ground, and walked out of the palace with everyone without saying a word.

"Do you still want to go out of the city to Zhuangzi?" Shen Yao asked.

"No," Chen Xi replied tiredly, "When I came out early this morning, I had already explained to Mingxin. ”

"Although this is a heavy responsibility, it can't be done overnight, so don't be in a hurry." Shen Yao comforted him and said, "Wait until tomorrow to meet with a few pavilion elders and discuss a charter." ”

"Well," Chen Xi agreed absentmindedly, "Uncle, go back quickly, my aunt is a month old now, and she needs someone to take care of her." ”

Shen Yao nodded, turned over and went home.

Chen Xi returned to the Jin Palace, although everyone was everywhere, but he felt empty in his heart.

He has always felt that his father-in-law is a hero who stands up to the sky, even when he was trapped in the northwest due to the lack of food and grass military expenses, he has never seen Chen Yuantai so impatient.

Maybe deep down in his heart, he still deeply taboos his identity as an "anti-thief". In history, no matter how whitewashed, this point cannot be washed clean after all.

Chen Yuantai's rebellion stemmed from his confidence in his own ability, his resentment against Da Zhou Dujun, and his demagogy from Li Weiyu. He didn't really want the throne, maybe he wanted more to be in charge of his own position and ability. He is not a natural thief, and he needs to deceive others with lies like "obeying the heavens".

A fire in the Taihe Hall burned Chen Yuantai's confidence, and dug out the biggest worries and things he didn't want to face in his heart.

"Lord Wang," Yu Ming pushed the door in, carrying a heavy burden in her arms, "The documents of the construction of the imperial palace of the previous dynasty are all here. Construction Shilang said that there are still some information about the construction of the Taimiao and Taiping Yuan in the previous dynasty, if the prince needs it, the small one will go and get it tomorrow. ”

Chen Xi waved his hand and said, "No need, what I want is something from the palace." ”

Yuming put the burden on Chen Xi's bookcase, and after neatly untying it, a large number of books wrapped in it were scattered.

Chen Xi frowned, this is simply looking for a needle in a haystack!

"Forget it, wrap it up." Chen Xi ordered again, "With this, let's go out of the city to Zhuangzi." ”

Yuming looked at the sky outside, and it was already dark and dreary. But the prince of his family is different from others, and he promised to go back to accompany the princess tonight!

Yu Ming quickly packed up all the books with her hands and feet, carried them on her shoulders, and followed Chen Xi out of the city.

Du Mingxin was a little restless all day today, the palace was on fire, and this matter would only be big, not small. If there are any more casualties, it will be a great event, and maybe the court will be doubled because of this.

After coaxing Brother Kun to sleep, she leaned on the bedside and flipped through a copy of Persona from the previous dynasty, but she couldn't read it. When the toss was over, she decided to lie down in bed and try to fall asleep.

At this moment, Xia Ye pushed the door in and said, "Princess, the prince is here." ”

Du Mingxin sat up with a stirring spirit, and asked a little anxiously, "But what happened?" ”

Xia Ye shook his head and said, "The slave doesn't know, the prince didn't say it, but came in with a big burden." ”

Du Mingxin hurriedly put on his clothes and got out of bed, just in time for Chen Xi to enter the inner room with his baggage.

Facing Du Ming's concerned gaze, Chen Xi put down his burden and said softly: "Don't worry, it's nothing serious." It's just the Taihe Temple...... Burned. ”

Du Mingxin was taken aback, and immediately thought of Chen Yuantai: "What did the emperor say?" ”

"I gave birth to the atmosphere, and ordered me and Ding Ge Lao to preside over the reconstruction." Chen Xi opened the baggage and said with a smile, "Please, I don't like to read the most, and I read slowly." When you were in college, you read and memorized much faster than me, so it's best to entrust you with this matter. ”

Du Mingxin flipped through those books casually, and saw that they were all archives related to the construction of the palace in the previous dynasty, so he asked with a smile: "Don't you want me to get you a charter?" I don't know anything about building houses! ”

"No," Chen Xi shook his head and relayed the conversation with Lin Lang during the day today, "I always feel a little strange. After the previous dynasty rebuilt the Taihe Palace, there was no thunder and fire disaster for more than a hundred years, if it was all luck, I don't believe it. ”

Du Ming's heart was silent, Chen Xi could be said to be very aware of Chen Yuantai's mood. Whether the Taihe Hall is rebuilt or not, and what it will look like again, Chen Yuantai is not very concerned. What annoyed him was that why was God willing to favor those faint kings of the previous dynasty, but refused to let go of him, a thief who loved the people like a son?

"Well, I'll help you find it." Du Mingxin nodded in response, "It's just that don't have too much hope...... Since the beginning of summer, it has been raining continuously in the capital, and thunder and lightning weather are also common. But it only happened last night, and I think it was just a coincidence. ”

"It's a coincidence or not, it's really hard to say, you just help me take a look." Chen Xiwen said.

*

When something like this happened in the palace, the people in the capital also stopped a lot. Du Ming ordered someone to pack up his things, and moved back to the palace a few days later.

As soon as she got home, the eldest lady came to the door with some snacks and seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Du Mingxin saw that the eldest lady looked good, and there was a smile on her face, so he asked, "What are the happy events at home recently?" Isn't Sister Zhu's marriage decided? ”

The eldest lady smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into a slit: "You sisters are smart to you, and you always guess!" ”

Du Mingxin was also happy for Du Mingzhu, so he asked with a smile: "Which family's son?" I see that you are very satisfied, auntie. ”

"It's the third young master of Huiningbo Mansion, your cousin of the Peng family, Peng Kang!" The eldest lady smiled, "I know the roots, I have won a new promotion this year, I don't want to be satisfied!" ”

Du Mingxin was a little surprised, and it turned out that these two people finally got married. However, because Mrs. Peng chased her to be her daughter-in-law before, Du Mingxin didn't want to pay too much attention to the Peng family, so he congratulated him with a smile, and then waited for the eldest lady to explain her intentions.

The eldest lady knew what Du Mingxin meant, and she didn't plan to hide it, so she told the Huiningbo Mansion that she wanted to inquire about Deng Hong's borrowing of Zhuangzi to farm the land.

"Although Bofu also has some family assets, after all, it is not as good as in the past. If this Zhuangzi is not borrowed, or if the grandson of the head of the Anguo Mansion has been planted for several years without any results, wouldn't it be a pit for the Bofu? ”
