For example, it has been more than two years since the initial decision was made today, and there was also a hero who competed with Chen Yuantai for the Great Zhou world. However, now, these people are dying and defeated, where is there still the strength to set off such a storm!

"I can't see the emperor sitting firmly in the world, if it is not the general of the defeated army in the past, there will only be the remnants of the previous dynasty." Ding Shao said slowly.

Chen Xi glanced at him, and if he could be admitted to Shu Jishi, he was naturally outstanding in his learning. Speaking calmly and capably, with a clear mind and a clear organization, the sister-in-law Du Mingxin picked is not bad.

"Such a big move, and in the Taihe Palace, it is impossible to do it during the day. Therefore, those who harbor evil intentions will surely be able to walk in the outer court at night. Ding Shao pondered for a while, and said cautiously, "Then, apart from the eunuchs, there are only guards." ”

Chen Xi nodded, and then his words said: "The guards patrol at night are all in a team of ten people, and if you want to put ten people who have different intentions for the emperor into one patrol team, you think it's impossible. What's more, the guards of the Forbidden Palace have always been jointly managed by the Duke of Dingguo and the Duke of Xingguo, and the net worth and origin of these guards are naturally clear. ”

"I also think it's more likely to be a eunuch." Li Mobai said, "I just heard in the Qianqing Palace that the eunuchs are on duty at night in groups of two, which is much smaller than the movement of the guards in a group of ten people." ”

Chen Xi suddenly thought that when he first got married, the prince gave him a wedding gift with Du Mingxin, and Du Mingxin asked about the palace eunuchs. Due to the lack of manpower and Chen Yuantai's intention to show grace, many eunuchs in the palace were left over from the previous dynasty. Will these people ......?

In a short time, the remaining pillars were also dug up. As expected, the chains that connected the faucet inside were all broken by sharp files.

"The Taihe Hall has lost this layer of protection, and there are many thunderstorms in the capital in summer, and it is only a matter of time before it burns down again." Li Mobai picked up a broken iron chain on the ground and handed it to Chen Xi, "Brother Axi went to inform the emperor of this, presumably the emperor's anger will disappear a lot." ”

He blinked again and laughed in a low voice: "This is the credit of my sister-in-law, my brother should not be greedy." ”

Chen Xi pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, said goodbye to Ding and Li, and strode towards the Qianqing Palace.

In the inner hall, there was endless arguments, and Chen Yuantai was rubbing menthol oil on his temples by the prince, while suppressing the troubled emotions in his heart.

Hearing Chen Xi's request to see, Chen Yuantai waved his hand and ordered someone to pass him in.

Chen Xi handed the chain to the chamberlain, and told him the story of the matter. “…… Erchen thought that the burning of the Taihe Hall was a ** rather than a natural disaster. ”

Chen Yuantai sat up straight, picked up the chain from the eunuch's hand, and squinted his eyes to look at it. The iron chain, which has been buried deep in the ground for many years, has not rotted, and after being wiped with a damp cloth, it has a unique luster of metal. The fracture is very flat and faintly white, indicating that the object that cuts the iron chain is a good weapon for sharpening iron like mud.

"Look at the fracture, it looks like it was cut not long ago." Chen Xi continued, "Since the beginning of summer this year, there have been constant thunderstorms in the capital, and Erchen dared to guess that the iron chains of the four corners of the Taihe Hall were only cut recently. ”

"Recently......" Chen Yuantai thought carefully, and most of the depression in his heart was gone. In his life, he was never afraid of someone as his enemy. On the contrary, the stronger the enemy, the more excited he becomes. It's just that if this enemy is God who can't be seen or touched, he has nothing to do and nowhere to start.

Wang Gonggong is the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, and he is also the chief eunuch of the palace, he saw Chen Yuantai groaning, so he hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, the eunuchs in the palace are separated from the inside and outside, and the people who serve in the outer court and the inner palace never change back and forth. The eunuch errands of the foreign dynasty generally do not change, only the people on night duty are changed every three months. ”

Chen Yuantai nodded and asked, "When was the night eunuch on duty on the night of the accident changed?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, it will be the first day of the seventh month." The prince replied respectfully.

That is, not long after the change, there was a thunder fire in the Taihe Palace......

"Go and call the night watchman over and ask!" Chen Yuantai said in a deep voice.

The prince was embarrassed: "All the people who were on duty that night were punished with rods, and no one could survive ......"

You've all beaten them to death......

Chen Yuantai tightened his fists and said angrily: "Then call the people on duty in the last round for questioning!" ”

"Yes, yes." The prince hurriedly received the decree and walked out quickly.

"I will arrest a few of the people who spread rumors in the market, and check their origins to see if they are villains who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, or villains with ulterior motives!"

Lin Lang and the others hurriedly got up to receive the order.

At noon, Chen Yuantai ordered someone to call Chen Xi to go to the Qianqing Palace to accompany him for lunch. Just after eating, the two were drinking tea and chatting.

"Brother Kun has a new skill?" Chen Yuantai asked with a smile.

"I've been able to sit very steadily." Chen Xi said with a smile, "Mingxin has recently added him a meal of egg rice cereal every day, he always doesn't want people to hug him, he must sit at the kang table and ask someone to feed him." I think if he uses his hands better, I'm afraid he will have to eat by himself. ”

Chen Yuantai nodded with a smile and said, "You children are very well raised!" But he had to be more careful when he sat by himself, so he didn't sit down properly and fell head-back! ”

Chen Xi smiled and agreed.

The prince peeked at the situation in his eyes outside, and saw that the father and son were talking happily, but he was a little hesitant in his heart. This matter is reported, but I am afraid that the emperor will be thunderous and angry again......

Chen Yuantai glanced at the prince waiting outside the door, so he called over: "What did those eunuchs on duty at night say?" ”

Wang Gonggong hurriedly came in and said: "There is nothing special for others, only a little eunuch named Li San said that there was a person named Wang Yi who was on duty that night of the accident, and he went to Li San in June and asked who was in charge of arranging the errand on duty. ”

Li San said that he remembered this very clearly, because usually no one wanted to do the errand on duty at night, and he had to turn black and white upside down, check the candles carefully, and he couldn't see any nobles, and he didn't have the opportunity to be rewarded......"

The prince looked at Chen Yuantai's expression carefully, and saw that he had no expression, so he continued: "That's why there is a three-month shift system in the palace...... The servant Fang just found Zhang Zhi, the chief eunuch who was in charge of the chores of the three major halls, and he said that when Wang Yi begged him, he only said that he had a backache recently and couldn't do heavy work. Because he only used to patrol the night at night, and he didn't have to do any work on the side, Zhang Zhi believed him. Wang Yi gave him a lot of things, and Zhang Zhi pushed the boat along the way and arranged for him to be on night duty with his fellow villager Wang Qi......"
