Chapter 12: On Fire

Cao Jixiang glanced at the silver ticket, wiped the tears on his face vigorously and ignored it, but said to the little eunuchs around him: "If you are free, help our family pack up our things!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Gonggong Cao went to the celebrant and had to ask for a lot of help! ”

"Yes, yes, the emperor came to see you, which shows that he attaches great importance to you!"

Wang Yao's face turned white, and he finally couldn't help yelling: "Stop!" The meal is not ready yet, where are you going? Come back to work for our family! ”

A group of little eunuchs naturally did not dare to disobey the orders of the palm print eunuchs, and ran back obediently one by one, but the schadenfreude in their eyes could not be concealed.

"One by one, I don't know how to serve my master well, and I don't know what Buddha to worship here!

Remember that the old ancestor is still there, and there is only a cloud of his old man above your head! Wang Yao reprimanded the palace people.

"Yes, what the prince said is, but I am not sensible, and I will ask you more rules in the future!" Cao Jixiang gritted his teeth and said.

"Our family doesn't have anything else, but we understand the rules, and Grandpa Cao can come if he wants to ask!" Wang Yao was not to be outdone.

"Humph!" Cao Jixiang snorted coldly and left Shang Shanjian, and the luggage to be packed was thrown into the stinky ditch.

After Zhu Qizhen returned to the palace, in addition to dealing with the sequelae left by this rebellion, the most important thing was two things.

One is that Jin Lian is dead, and the meaning of the cabinet is that after all, he is a veteran of the court, who has served several generations of emperors, and he wants to be a good man, or the kind that is at the top.

It's just that Cao Nai and others in the court have opposing opinions, saying that he can't even teach his son well, and he has caused so much loss to the capital and the imperial court.

The emperor is already extraordinarily gracious for not curing his crimes, and he still wants to be beautiful, I'm afraid he is thinking about fart.

Zhu Qizhen thought about it, called Cao Jixiang over and asked, "How should you deal with this matter?" ”

Cao Jixiang didn't dare to speak out, he was still afraid that he would lose if he said too much, he didn't know how to make the emperor disgusted before, but now he has to take care of his mouth and don't make any mistakes.

"If I tell you to, you can say it! Do you still want to resist the decree? ”

Cao Jixiang took a breath of courage at this time, first carefully looked at the content of the song, then thought about Jin Lian's life, and finally thought about the reason why the emperor asked him, and then slowly spoke.

"The cabinet means that Jin Lian is an old minister of the four dynasties, a minister of the imperial court, and he should be determined by Wenyi.

Cao Shangshu thought that Jin Lian was favored and coquettish, and connived at his heirs, although he had merit, he could not resist it, so he suggested that he should be loyal to Hui.

From the slave's point of view, the dead are the greatest, although Jin Lian Shangshu has merits and faults, but after all, he has worked for the court all his life, and if the name is too bad, it may make people feel that the emperor treats his courtiers poorly. ”

"So you think you should be invited by the Cabinet?" Zhu Qizhen asked.

"The slave thinks that Wen Yi in the cabinet is too high, after all, he made a mistake, and the people in the capital remember it, so it is easy to provoke the dissatisfaction of the people, but Wen Gong seems more appropriate."

"Wen Gong?" In the original history, Jin Lian was called Zhongxiang, but this Wen Gong was even better, and it was cheaper for him.

"Just take it as you say." Zhu Qizhen just muttered a sentence and threw the song to Cao Jixiang.

Cao Jixiang was stunned, flattered and agreed, and ran out in a hurry.

When they arrived at the door, they bumped into Jin Ying who came in a hurry, only to hear an oops, and the two of them turned on their backs.

The palace people waiting outside the door helped the two of them up and hurriedly stood aside, the two looked at each other a few times, Cao Jixiang squeezed out a flattering smile and said, "Ancestor, my son will be busy first." ”

Jin Ying's face was not very good-looking, and he glanced at the music in Cao Jixiang's hand, and walked into the Qianqing Palace without speaking.

"Your Majesty, King Zhao is gone!" As soon as he entered the door, Jin Ying knelt on the ground and raised the song in his hand.

King Zhao is Renzong's younger brother, and it is passed down to this generation as Huiwang Chan, who is considered Zhu Qizhen's uncle, younger than his father, and died young.

"Oh? That's really a lot of injustice will kill you, you treat the people poorly on weekdays, and the local subordinate officials are now early, and they can be regarded as a well-deserved death. Zhu Qizhen thought a little and said.

"Your Majesty, this is a tribute to the king's inheritance of the feudal country." Jin Ying didn't dare to talk, so she could only take out another letter in her hand.

Zhu Qizhen took a look, this father and son, no, it should be said that the father and son are not good birds, especially Zhu Jianyan, the son of Zhu Qiqi, the mourning king.

It's not a person to pretend to be a thief and kill someone, but to kill his own uncle with the strength of alcohol.

"King Zhao is newly mourned, let them keep filial piety for three years first." Zhu Qizhen refused without looking at it.

Jin Ying bowed down and wanted to exit the hall, but was stopped by Zhu Qizhen.

"Jin Ying, you're much older now! How about Jin Qi? Can I get out of bed and take care of you? Zhu Qizhen asked.

Jin Ying knelt on the ground with a sigh in her heart, "Emperor Xie cares, although the slave maid is old, her body is still okay." Jin Qi has almost recovered, and he will be able to serve you in another ten days and half a month! ”

"Well, in this case, then let him take care of you as soon as possible, sometimes people are old, maybe they will be uncomfortable at some point, it's better to be prepared." Zhu Qizhen nodded and let Jin Ying go.

Looking at the back of this old dragon clock, Zhu Qizhen's eyes were inexplicable, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

That night, in his sleep, Zhu Qizhen was suddenly woken up by a noisy sound, he opened his eyes and saw that Cao Jixiang's big white face beside him was terrifying, and the fire was surging not far away, and the heat wave forced people to be unable to open their eyes.

"What's going on!" Zhu Qizhen was shocked, put on two clothes and ran out with Cao Jixiang.

Cao Jixiang said while walking, the weather is dry in winter, and the side hall of the Qianqing Palace is empty.

Such a simple sentence burned down the palace that cost millions of taels of silver, and Zhu Qizhen seemed to be choked by something, and glanced at Cao Jixiang deeply.

As the news of the fire in the Qianqing Palace reached the harem, Empress Dowager Sun, Empress Qian and others also rushed here, and they were relieved to see that Zhu Qizhen was not injured.

"Concubine Niangniang! Concubine Niangniang! Just when Zhu Qizhen was disheveled to persuade the Queen Mother and the concubines to avoid danger, a hurried cry came.

Zhu Qizhen looked at the source of the sound, and saw Yang Caiwei running over barefoot, wearing only a thin layer of middle clothes.

"Your Majesty!" As soon as Yang Caiwei saw Zhu Qizhen, all her strength was drained, and she fell to the ground before she could get closer.

"Cai Wei!" Zhu Qizhen screamed in surprise, rushed forward, and suddenly made a mess again.

The fire burned all night, but fortunately the wind suddenly stopped in the second half of the night, otherwise the entire palace would have been burned clean.

Xiong Zongli saw Yang Caiwei, and said that the root of the illness that fell from anxiety when he gave birth to his first child was not healed, and now he was frightened and cold, and he fell ill when he piled up together, but there was no big problem, as long as he recuperated well, he could make it up.

The cause of the fire has also been investigated, and there is no big problem, that is, some palace people stole the treasured jewelry in the palace, and Cao Jixiang began to investigate for Liwei after taking the throne, but these people set a fire in order to destroy the corpse.
