Although there are guards and eunuchs to keep vigil at night, almost all of the eunuchs are laid in the courtyard, and the master will wake up when he is instructed to do so.

As for the guards, although they can't lay on the floor, if they are sleepy, they can squint and nap.

In this case, once the water is gone, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is only afraid of more evil and less auspicious!

When he squinted, Pei Xuanling also thought of this piece.

To say that the fire started near his yard and happened to burn Qiao Kun to death, it was too coincidental.

Then, it is even more coincidental that Jiang Meiren disappeared just before the fire in the Gongyuan......

Thinking of this woman, Pei Xuanling couldn't help asking: "By the way, when Jiang Meiren coughed up blood, what kind of illness can the doctor see?" ”

Huang Dechang: "The servant sent someone to ask, and the doctor said that it was an old problem with frailty, and he didn't see any other illness......

"I've vomited blood, and I only see that I'm weak?" Pei Xuanling's thick eyebrows were furrowed, and he was already very dissatisfied with those doctors.

Every time Jiang Meiren gets sick, they will only say that they are weak, weak!

Either it is the root cause of anorexia, and he can recite these reasons backwards.

The previous few times were just that, but this time Jiang Meiren had already vomited blood!

After these few days, he has to find the divine doctor around Eleven to show Jiang Meiren.

Even if he was in the same house with Jiang Mei, Pei Xuanling still had to rush to the court, so he didn't go to visit.

After changing clothes and washing, Pei Xuanling didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so he entered the palace and went to court.

As Pei Xuanling guessed, the court was talking about the fire in the Tribute Courtyard.

"Your Majesty, more than 100 people were buried in the fire... I hope that among those people, I don't know if there will be outstanding talents among them who will become the pillars of our country and contribute to the country and the people! ”

"Those who took the exam, studied hard for decades, or even longer, but they disappeared last night......"

There are also ministers who regretfully chant poems: "How can Hui Lu be jealous, and the spring breeze is scattered as a rite and disaster." It is difficult to plant peaches to the sky, and the osmanthus is turned out of the fire. The pride was full of contention and flames, and the strong heart turned into ashes overnight. Where is Qujiang's victory? The white bones are piled up......"

A minister raised the court board in his hand and admonished: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that the fire began to spread from the prince's courtyard, presumably the people under the prince did not take precautions against the fire, which caused this disaster!" ”

"Weichen also heard that during the exam, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked people to search for the candidates' clothes, and also asked people to use fire to bake clothes, it would be strange if there was no fire!"

Pei Xuanling heard the sound and found that the two ministers who pointed the finger at him were one from King Kang's party and the other from King Mu's party.

Immediately afterwards, many ministers made remarks one after another.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too careless, more than 100 moves, more than 100 fresh lives......"

"This time, our dynasty not only suffered heavy losses in talents, but even the number room of the Gongyuan was seriously burned."

"Weichen thinks that the prince will be fully responsible for this fire, and the prince will no longer be in charge of the imperial examination, otherwise it will be difficult for the candidates to accept, and the families of those who died ...... the candidates."

"Weichen seconded!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

And so forth and so on......

Among these ministers, in addition to the Kangwang Party, there are also Mu Wang's Party stirring up in it.

It is nothing more than trying to use the fire in the tribute courtyard to squeeze out the princelings.

Of course, the prince's party also helped the prince speak.

"The fire in the Gongyuan has been a problem for many years, what is the matter with His Royal Highness Prince Guan?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't rest all night, personally led the fire master to extinguish the fire, evacuated the candidates in time, and the loss has been controlled to a minimum......"

For a time, many forces competed in the court.

Emperor Jianyuan looked down at the bottom of the hall, first glanced at the protesting ministers, and finally fell on the prince, "Prince, what do you have to say?" ”

Pei Xuanling: "Erchen did let the scholars roast their clothes with fire, but Erchen was to search for cheaters, and this was all a few days ago, and it had nothing to do with this fire." ”

"In addition, the Gongyuan fire, Erchen also deeply regretted, since Erchen is responsible for the imperial examination, naturally more or less responsible, with this fire, Erchen suggested that the structure of the Gongyuan be changed to fireproof materials."

"As for the fire starting from the courtyard of the sons... If Erchen hadn't gone to the thatched house for a while yesterday, I was afraid that Erchen would have died in the fire like those lifters, so Erchen suspected that someone wanted to take the opportunity to murder me, and asked my father to investigate! ”

Song Fu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, listened to the prince's remarks, and couldn't help but nod slightly, affirming the prince's statement.

Although he has always admired the sixth prince, he does not appreciate the prince very much.

But this time, when the prince was wronged, he was able to clear up the suspicion in a few words, and he was able to make such a good suggestion, and finally did something that he admired!

"Prince, I don't allow you to say these unlucky things!" Emperor Jianyuan glared at the prince fiercely, "Regarding your proposal to change the structure of the tribute courtyard into a fireproof material, I will leave it to you, and it can be regarded as making up for it." ”

Then, Emperor Jianyuan had a calm face and said to those ministers: "The fire in the Gongyuan has been a problem for many years, you don't want to find a way, just let the prince be responsible, you can solve the problem for thousands of years?" ”

"If any of you come up with such a good idea like the prince, why should you make hundreds of candidates suffer?"

The emperor said so, and many ministers echoed it one after another, "What the emperor said is extremely true, or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is thoughtful." ”

Emperor Jianyuan: "This fire, I will let Dali Temple find out the cause, before the truth is found out, whoever talks about it again, will be severely punished!" ”

A thunderous voice resounded over the hall, shaking everyone's ears numb.

The ministers bowed their heads one after another, "Yes!" ”

The emperor didn't let the wind go, didn't he protect His Royal Highness the Prince, so they naturally didn't dare to say more.

**

The fire in the Gongyuan not only caused an uproar in the court, but also spread in Beijing.

The palace is well informed, and the matter has long been spread throughout the palace.

Chun Xing heard that there was a fire in the Tribute Courtyard, with countless casualties, and when she saw that her little master had not returned, she was even more worried.

Moreover, the day of the little lord's grounding has arrived, and I am going to say goodbye to the side concubine today.

But the little master hasn't come back yet, how can this be good?

After thinking about it, she was going to lie that the little master was sick.

Knowing that she was asking for peace for Concubine Ruan today, Chun Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

Concubine Ruan is kind and much easier to deal with than Concubine Tang.

Chun Xing arrived at Concubine Ruan's bedroom, and the concubines in the East Palace had already arrived, and a palace maid invited Chun Xing into the hall.

Chun Xing first saluted the concubines, and then said: "Concubine Ruan, my little master is sick, and I can't come to greet you today, so I specially let the slave and maid come over to inform you." ”

"If you are sick, then rest well." Concubine Ruan was quite reasonable, and asked thoughtfully: "Do you want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look at Sister Jiang?" ”

Chunxing: "No need, the little master said that it was an old problem, and every time I called the imperial doctor, it didn't get better, so I should recuperate for a few days." ”

"Okay then." Concubine Ruan nodded, "If you need a doctor, send someone over to say it." ”

"Okay, the slave and maid thanked Concubine Ruan for my little master." Chun Xing got up, "The slave has to go back to take care of the little master, so I won't bother you." ”

After speaking, Chunxing left.

Gu Meiren looked at the back of Chun Xing leaving, and her eyes turned slightly.

After a stick of incense, Concubine Ruan dismissed the concubines of the East Palace, and Chen Province was also dispersed.

Leaving Concubine Ruan's bedroom, Concubine Tang helped the palace maid's hand and stepped on.

She was about to leave when Gu Meiren appeared from the right side and saluted her.

Gu Meiren: "Jiang Meiren's grounding period has passed, but she doesn't see her participation in the morning province, doesn't Sister Tang think it's strange?" ”
