The earth-shattering explosion in early April of the first year of Yuanjia almost affected the entire circle of nobles.

The palace door of the imperial city was also opened, the chamberlains came out frequently, and the prime ministers of the three provinces entered the palace almost overnight.

"What are the guards of the Imperial Tomb doing? So incompetent, what do I want them to do? Emperor Yuan Jia was furious, and before Meng Songyan and Zhou Fa entered the Taiji Palace, they heard the voice of Emperor Yuan Jia's reprimanding of the eunuch.

Emperor Yuanjia is indeed not smart, but no matter how smart he is, he knows that the imperial tomb being struck by lightning at this moment is only harmful to him.

Originally, few people agreed to his succession, if it weren't for the empress dowager's quick move, the Zhou family hurriedly held down those people who were about to move, and it would not have been his turn to be the emperor at all.

It has only been four months since he ascended the throne, and so many things have happened one after another, and now something happened to the Emperor's Mausoleum, and it reached the ears of those clans who coveted the throne at that time, wouldn't it be said that he was not in the right position? That's why God sent down heavenly punishment and thundered the Emperor's Mausoleum?

Seeing Meng Songyan and Zhou Fa coming in, Emperor Yuan Jia's face softened slightly, and he almost suppressed his temper to death, so he reluctantly whispered: "Shizhong and Taifu are here." ”

The two were lined up on the side, and Zhou Fa was the first to speak, "Holy Lord, what happened near the Imperial Tomb?" Why did you summon your ministers and others into the palace in a hurry? ”

Yao Hanqing, the guard of the imperial mausoleum, was single-handedly promoted by Zhou Fa, and his wife Zhou was the daughter of the Zhou family.

Yao Hanqing, that's a sturdy Zhou party.

Now that there is an accident in the imperial tomb, the eunuch party will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and at that time, they will definitely work hard and bite the Zhou family to death with Yao Hanqing.

Emperor Yuan Jia didn't understand the relationship between Yao Hanqing and the Zhou family for a while, so although his face was not good, he could also restrain a little, he pointed to the eunuch who was kneeling on the ground, and motioned the eunuch to speak back.

Seeing this, the eunuch hurriedly spoke: "Back to the saint, Duke Zhou, Duke Meng." According to General Yao, who was guarding the imperial mausoleum, tonight was ugly, the sky was thundering, and the imperial mausoleum was split, and then the imperial mausoleum was on fire. ”

"What is the good news?" Emperor Yuanjia's face was not good, if it was really fortunate, it should not have been split on the imperial tomb.

Zhou Fa and Meng Songyan both changed their faces, and Meng Songyan hurriedly spoke, "Is it really a thunderbolt?" ”

"I don't know the specifics, that's what General Yao said." The eunuch knew that the situation was wrong, so he only dared to bow his head and reply.

"Saint, this matter is full of suspicions, if it is really a thunderbolt, even if there are dead and wounded, it should be the guard of the imperial tomb, and how can it be a good family to be in the palace? You must know that when the thunder happens, it is when it is ugly. Meng Songyan pointed out his suspicions.

Emperor Yuan Jia nodded hurriedly and looked at the eunuch. Of course, he hoped that there was something else hidden in this matter, not the punishment of the ancestors.

Although the eunuch was timid, the message was very clear, "Back to the saint, after the matter was over, General Yao sent someone to interrogate the maid who served the good family. The maid said that the good family had recently mourned and felt compassion in her heart, so she went out for a walk, and somehow got to the vicinity of the imperial mausoleum......"

"Nonsense!" Emperor Yuan Jia didn't wait for the eunuch to finish speaking, he laughed angrily, and hurriedly retorted, "But a little girl, even if she walks around, at most she can't get close to the imperial tomb?" What is Yao Hanqing doing! Or is it that the guards of the Imperial Tomb have slackened so far. If I can't even prevent a little girl, if I get into a thief in the future, can I still count on him to prevent it? ”

"The slave doesn't know ......," the eunuch hurriedly shook his head.

Zhou Fa on the side seemed to want to say something, but Meng Songyan didn't wait for Zhou Fa to speak, and then said: "Please also ask the Holy Lord to summon General Yao into the palace, and then send the third division to the imperial tomb to find out about this matter, and block the news before that, and not let anyone know about the imperial tomb, so as not to disturb the message, stir people's hearts and make the imperial city restless." ”

Emperor Yuan Jia nodded, and for the first time felt that Meng Songyan was so in line with his heart, "What Taifu said is very ......."

It's just that Emperor Yuanjia's will hasn't had time yet, so he listened to the little eunuch in front of the case and said worriedly: "I'm afraid it won't be done, the saint ......."

Several people looked at him, and the eunuch had to bite the bullet and said: "Because it is an urgent report, and even opened the palace gate, the soldiers who delivered the report are shouting all the way to ride their horses into the city, and the movement is not small, I am afraid that I can't hide it if I want to?" ”

"How can such a great thing be ridden and shouted? What's more, even if it's a shout? I have a curfew in the court, I urgently reported to Beijing, suddenly opened the palace gate, there should be no one on the street, how can I not hide it? Emperor Yuan Jia hurriedly questioned, and he was dissatisfied with Yao Hanqing in his heart.

"When the news entered the city gate, it was almost five watches, and not long after entering the city, the curfew had already passed." The eunuch was afraid of Emperor Yuanjia, so he had to lower his head and reply.

seemed to think of something again, and couldn't help but whisper: "Moreover, at the time of the incident, there was a robbery in nearby Ruinian County, and the county order was sending someone to detain the thief." There are prisoners escaping from prison in Changning County on the side, and the Changning County Commander is also sending people to chase him, but I am afraid that many people have seen the matter of the imperial tomb. ”

At this moment, the faces of several people present changed, especially Emperor Yuan Jia, his face was the most ugly.

I wanted to have a seizure, but because Zhou Fa and Meng Song had been accumulating power for a long time, they finally held the hand of the jade seal and never raised it.

He almost gritted his teeth and said: "Spread my will, spread Yao Hanqing to the palace, and then send the three divisions to investigate this matter thoroughly." The market is closed today, the people are not allowed to go out of the workshop, Jin Wuwei, the Shence Army and the soldiers and horses from all over the country are all dispatched to patrol the streets, and if anyone disobeys, they will be killed immediately. ”

"Holy!" Meng Songyan's pupils shrank, Emperor Yuan Jia wanted to block the mouths of the people with an iron-blooded wrist, throughout the ages, only tyrants did such a thing, thinking of this, he hurriedly advised: "Holy think twice." Closing the alleys and closing the house is for the sake of the people's safety and benevolence, but if there is a bloody case, it is not contrary to the benevolence of the saint. ”

Fortunately, when the news entered Beijing, it was still early, and there were not many people, so it was a good policy to close the alleys and close their homes in time, so that they could guard against the spread of news. But if you see blood, then people will be panicked for no reason, and rumors will be boiling, and things will only become more and more uncontrollable.

Emperor Yuan Jia glanced at Meng Songyan, pursed his lips, and finally just said angrily to the eunuch: "Don't do what Taifu says." ”

In fact, Emperor Yuan Jiadi made this move very well. If it weren't for Li Shengxi's behind-the-scenes layout, he might really be able to stop the rumors.

It's just a pity that there are internal guards in each square in Wangjing, and once the door is closed, although the people are not allowed to go out, they can still move freely in the square. Suddenly closed, the people naturally had some speculation in their hearts, and this time was the best time to spread rumors.

It's just that Emperor Yuan Jia didn't know about all this.
