Chapter XXXVIII
Emperor Tianwei nodded, the ancestor in their mouth was not someone else, it was Emperor Tianwei's aunt and grandmother. and Emperor Tianwei's grandfather, Emperor Tianliang, is a brother and sister. Emperor Tianwei can compete for the dragon throne, and his aunt and grandmother have made a lot of contributions.
It is precisely because of this that after Emperor Tianwei ascended the dragon throne, he was very filial to his aunt and grandmother. Many times because of her old age, she wanted to take her into the palace for the elderly, but she refused because it was inconsistent with the etiquette.
I would rather an old lady stay alone outside the palace, waited by a few intimate subordinates.
Emperor Tianwei hurried and hurried, and finally met his ancestor. However, the moment he saw the old lady, Emperor Tianwei felt as if he had been smashed on his head, and he was suddenly stunned.
My aunt is nearly ninety years old, and at this time she is dressed in rotten clothes, and the hem of her clothes looks like a black edge that has been burned by fire. The old lady's hair was messy, her face was full of dust, and she looked quite embarrassed, if it weren't for the fact that her spirit looked good, Emperor Tianwei really thought that this old lady was confused.
"My aunt, why did you enter the palace with such clothes? What's going on? Are you old and not afraid of getting cold? Emperor Tianwei himself walked over and held the old lady's arm.
The old lady leaned on the crutches in her hand, trembling under the support of Emperor Tianwei, and entered the inner hall.
When she arrived at the inner hall, she sat very unceremoniously on the main seat where Emperor Tianwei was sitting, and Emperor Tianwei, without any complaints, sat on the side seat, separated by a few small ones, and held the old lady's hand affectionately.
"Grandma, you entered the palace so early in the morning? What's the matter? You are so old, if you have anything to do and send someone into the palace to say no, why do you have to run in person, it is windy and snowy outside, if you have something to do, it will be my sin. "In front of the old lady, Emperor Tianwei's posture is extremely low, and he doesn't call himself me, he talks directly about me, me, and mine.
The old lady slammed the cane in her hand on the ground.
"If this old lady of mine doesn't come in person, I'm afraid I'm going to be burned to death by a fire, just you, wait to collect my body." The old lady poked Emperor Tianwei's calf with a cane.
Emperor Tianwei's expression was cold, and he thought that something must have happened.
"Xiao Caozi, what the hell is going on? Who set the fire in the house of his aunt? Emperor Tianwei asked about Gonggong Cao.
Gonggong Cao glanced at Emperor Tianwei and replied: "If you go back to the emperor, last night, a silk village named Wanfuyuan next to my ancestor's house caught fire, and the fire was so big that it burned down my ancestor's house......."
As soon as he heard that it was burned by mistake, Emperor Tianwei's heart had a bottom. He smiled at his aunt and said: "Auntie, don't worry, since this fire was caused by the silk village, then I will order that this silk village will compensate you for your losses, and then build a yard for you according to the original pattern." ”
As soon as Gu Ancestor heard Emperor Tianwei's words, he was not happy at the moment.
"You...... What's the use of just building a yard for me, an old woman? Who will pay for the loss of more than 30 families in the vicinity? Who will pay for the eighteen lives? In this cold and snowy place, where should more than 100 people live? I have you, the emperor, as my backer, but what about the people? You thing, are you confused when you become an emperor? "Gu Ancestor didn't give Emperor Tianwei any face, and in front of Gonggong Cao, he scolded Emperor Tianwei for being incomplete.
Emperor Tianwei is a generation of emperors, and under the scolding of Gu Zuzong, he didn't refute it without a word, and he had to endure it alive.
Under the scolding of his ancestors, Emperor Tianwei finally understood. Dare to love, this is a big deal. "Xiao Caozi, what's going on?"
"Back to the emperor, last night's fire affected more than 30 families and killed and injured 18 people, of which five were officers of the Gyeonggi Yamen. Lord Yang Youguang of the Gyeonggi Yamen put out the fire all night, and finally extinguished the fire, and at this moment, he was kneeling outside the hall waiting for the order...... "Gonggong Cao told Emperor Tianwei the specific situation.
This is no ordinary fire. The capital was originally under the jurisdiction of the Gyeonggi Yamen, but now, there have been casualties among the people, so Yang Youguang of the Gyeonggi Yamen is afraid that he will have to bear all the responsibility.
"Ancestor, you sit here for a while, I'll ask about the specific situation first, and I'll give you an answer when I come back." Emperor Tianwei's expression turned cold. However, when facing Gu Zuzong, he still had a kind face.
Gu Zuzong nodded: "Go, go, go......"
Emperor Tianwei got up to leave, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly looked back and gave an order to a little eunuch in the house: "Go, send a decree to the queen and the ladies of the palace, let them pass through, and wait for the ancestor of the aunt......"
After arranging everything, Emperor Tianwei didn't even bother to wash his face, and hurriedly came to the Hall of Light.
Yang Youguang of the Gyeonggi Yamen knelt on the ground, and his court clothes were also dotted with ashes, which was as good as the embarrassment of his ancestors.
Emperor Tianwei approached, aimed at Yang Youguang's buttocks, and kicked him a few times.
"Yang Youguang, what did you, a Gyeonggi adult, do? It's approaching the end of the year, and I poked out such a big basket? If this matter is not handled well, everyone in the capital will be panicked? ”
"The emperor is angry, and the minister is guilty." Yang Youguang was prostrate on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
"Tell me? Who's not good at burning? Just burned down the house of my aunt's ancestors? It hurt my aunt to enter the palace in the snow early this morning to complain to me, in case something goes wrong with my aunt, and there is a slip and fall on the road, I see that you have a hundred heads, and it is not enough for me to cut off. ”
Emperor Tianwei scolded Yang Youguang in one breath and didn't dare to raise his head.
"You've stabbed such a big basket, even if I wanted to protect you, I couldn't protect you. The crested cane in Gu Ancestor's hand can break my legs. "Emperor Tianwei is angry.
"It's all the minister's fault. The minister is here to ask for a decree at this moment, please send the emperor ......" Yang Youguang knelt and spoke. "Your Majesty, please listen to the minister's words, this mistake is not all the minister's, that Wanfuyuan Brocade Village, is the industry of King Duan, the minister has been found out, it is the subordinate of the Brocade Village, burning a fire in the brocade village to keep warm, causing a fire ......"
As soon as he heard King Duan, Emperor Tianwei suddenly sobered up a little.
"Why is there still a matter of King Duan?"
"Back to the emperor, the brocade village is Duanwang's private property, and Duanwang's doormen are taking care of the business, and the dividends on the books, except for those doormen, take away twenty percent, and the rest are all sent to Duanwang's mansion......" Yang Youguang couldn't bear such a big crime, so he directly shook Duanwang out. The king of the left and right sides is also the prince of Emperor Tianwei, and it is better to have someone to share it than to let him carry it alone.
