Zhao Gong walked out of the Zichen Palace, and after the night rain, the fresh air was inhaled into his mind, and the whole person immediately swept away the obstacles and woke up again.

Tonight's events are finally over.

Zhao Gong immediately thought about what Empress Wu said, which should not be expanded at will, it seems that who will be expanded in the middle, Empress Wu already has a number in his heart.

At this moment, the cold voice of the Empress Wu suddenly came from the Zichen Hall behind him: "Palm mouth!" ”

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! "The sound is very heavy, very loud, and every time, it can't help but make people's hearts beat.

Zhao Gong stopped a little outside the hall, and his face sank slightly.

A picture of being slapped with a thick wooden board suddenly appeared in his mind.

Just stopping slightly, Zhao Gong continued to take steps, walking quickly towards the outside of the hall.

He knew that Xu Zhong, the young eunuch of the inner chamberlain, was finished.

Not only him, but the people under Xu Zhong's command are afraid that they will all be finished.

Poor scapegoat.

Zhao Gong quickly left Daming Palace, walked out of Danfeng Gate, and was just about to get on the horse, at this moment, three fast horses, one chamberlain, and two forbidden soldiers had already passed behind him and quickly headed towards Taiji Palace.

The queen of heaven has a purpose.

The queen of heaven is already cleaning up after the things of Qin Xiangyuan.

Now in this matter, the queen of heaven actually doesn't want to see any ripples in it, preferably a silent past.

But how can Li Xuan not investigate, in addition to finding out who is behind the scenes, Li Xuan must also make his position clear.

If he doesn't do anything today because Qin Xiangyuan is related to the palace, then tomorrow, there will be countless people related to the palace, under the banner of the queen of heaven, directly stepping on his head.

This matter seems to have nothing to do with many people, but soon everyone will figure out the relationship with the Empress Wu, so Li Xuan must not be afraid of the Empress Wu and do nothing, and even not only have to do it, but also properly handle the relationship between the palace and the Queen of Heaven.

In particular, he had to explain the misunderstanding to Empress Wu, and even let Empress Wu turn to fully support him.

This is why there is a party in Zhao Gong's palace, and the Empress Wu is subtle, and Li Xuan can only handle it properly through Zhao Gong.

Zhao Gong sighed heavily, this nephew of his own, it really doesn't make people worry.

Zhao Gong hadn't gone far yet, and there was another wave, three fast horses, one chamberlain, and two forbidden soldiers, quickly heading towards Taiji Palace.

Zhao Gong was stunned, what is the queen of heaven going to do.

Turning sideways, Zhao Gong said in a low voice: "Go and see, where is this going to deliver the decree?" ”

A black guard walked out of the dark shadows, bowed his hand slightly to Zhao Gong, and then walked quickly towards the Taiji Palace.

……

Pingkang Fang, outside Qinxiang Garden, inside the carriage.

Li Xuan frowned and looked at Zhao Gong: "The Queen of Heaven sent someone to the Yushitai and Dali Temple?" ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Gong leaned on the wall of the car and said softly: "The impeachment of the Yushitai, the arrest of Dali Siqing, the use of Qianniuwei, everything is on the bright side, and then it is announced to the world, it should be convicted and convicted, it should be murdered and killed, and the reaction of the queen of heaven is quick and decisive." ”

"Wasn't that predictable?" Li Xuan sighed softly.

Zhao Gong nodded silently, and then said: "Then hurry up, it won't be long before Dali Temple will find someone on your hands." ”

"That's just right, the people of Dali Temple, it's just right to arrest people with me." Li Xuan smiled casually, and then said with a solemn expression: "Uncle, you can do everything else according to the rules, but if you catch someone in the palace......"

"How can a person in the palace appear outside the palace?" With a word, Zhao Gong refuted Li Xuan.

"My nephew got it." Li Xuan poked her head out and whispered two words outside.

The next moment, on the long street, He Qiniang stepped forward in full view of everyone, and then walked into Qinxiangyuan step by step.

People who came and went on the street, intentionally or unintentionally, saw this scene, and their hearts suddenly understood and began.

Qianniuwei has besieged Qinxiangyuan for nearly an hour, and a large number of people inside and outside have all been stopped.

Those who are obedient are persuaded to return, and those who are disobedient are directly arrested.

The people outside Qinxiang Garden, seeing this kind of posture, how could they dare to approach easily?

The people in Qinxiang Garden, even the most stupid people, knew that someone was looking for trouble.

But they prefer to believe in Qin Xiangyuan's background, even if they know that Jin Wuwei is standing outside, and the person standing behind Jin Wuwei is Li Xuan.

These people still believe that it won't be long before Li Xuan will retreat directly.

So many people are now staying in the interior of Qinxiangyuan, quietly preparing to watch jokes.

But they saw He Qiniang slowly walking into Qinxiang Garden, and they didn't know what Li Xuan wanted to do for a while?

What to do and what to do, it is naturally a false accusation.

The rain stopped completely, Li Xuan stepped down from the carriage, looked up to the sky, and in the clear night sky after the rainy night, the stars were dotted.

Bowing his head, Li Xuan stepped forward.

In front of everyone's eyes, Li Xuan walked into Qinxiangyuan step by step.

At this moment, a whole team of Qianniu Wei, from behind Jin Wuwei, directly followed Li Xuan and rushed into Qinxiangyuan.

The people who saw this scene were in an uproar.

……

Quiet and elegant, luxurious and beautiful.

In the pavilion of Qinxiangyuan, everything looks very simple, but there are not many furnishings, which still make people feel a sense of luxury.

Ivory from southern Xinjiang, pearls from the East China Sea, animal skins from the wasteland, spices from the Western Regions, silk from the south of the Yangtze River, and gold from the Central Plains.

All kinds of oceans, or carved like mountain scenes, or hidden under the silk, or floating in the green smoke, or directly into wine glasses.

Li Xuan stood in the pavilion of Qinxiangyuan, and there were many people inside and outside, none of whom came out to meet, but behind the curtain, there was a figure shaking gently.

Li Xuan's expression was indifferent, and he said lightly: "Li Xuan, the king of Nanchang County, was ordered to suppress thieves, Qinxiangyuan, Pingkangfang, there were thieves who broke in, this king brought Qianniuwei to chase and kill, carelessly, the fight caught fire, burned the entire Qinxiang Garden, burned 18 innocent people, please blame!" ”

Excuse the guilt, ask to whom, ask the court for the guilt, ask the emperor for the guilt.

Please, please, what crime, accidentally burned down Qinxiang Garden, and burned 18 innocent people to death for punishment.

How to punish the crime, a fine of three hundred and sixty pounds of copper.

If one person dies, he will be fined 20 pounds of copper, and 18 people, 360 pounds.

A plump woman in a pale blue moire cardigan finally stepped out from behind the silk tent.

This woman is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, when she is very glamorous, and she wears a robe, which also shows her full body to the fullest, but her face is coated with thick rouge gouache, which makes it difficult for people to feel good.

A silk fan suddenly blocked Li Xuan's vision, leaving only a pair of calculating and shrewd eyes behind.

"The thirteen mothers of the slave family have seen the king of Nanchang." Thirteen Niang was slightly blessed, looked at Li Xuan, smiled proudly, and then said: "How did the king of Nanchang calculate, there are eighteen people in the slave family?" Could it be that the prince miscalculated, there are far more than eighteen people in the slave family? ”

"It's not a mistake, but you heard it wrong, what this king said is that there are eighteen innocent people, not eighteen people who were burned to death." Li Xuan raised her head coldly, and one sentence made Thirteen Niang stunned in place, even if she still had a smile on her face, her face was already extremely stiff.

Not only Thirteen Niang, but the entire Qinxiangyuan, all the people who heard this sentence all looked solemn.

"The king of Nanchang is really murderous." The corners of Thirteen Niang's mouth brought a sneer, looked at Li Xuan and asked softly: "Even the innocent will burn eighteen people, so what about those who are not innocent, how many will the prince kill?" ”

"There are no innocent people, under the fire, only eighteen corpses will be found here in the end, and they will be submitted to the ministry." After Li Xuan finished speaking, everyone who secretly heard this sentence couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and their mouths began to ponder Li Xuan's words.

On the submission of the ministry, the king of Nanchang finally reported to the court of the deceased, only eighteen people.

But now, in the entire Qinxiang Garden, there are far more than eighteen people.

The king of Nanchang was going to kill everyone, and in the end, there were only eighteen names in the court.

More people, even death is silent, not even corpses; In this way, there is no need to implicate the people behind them.

Then those who are played to the court can only be those officials who are in the court, and they are the so-called innocents.

They will all die.

In this Qinxiang Garden, only eighteen people with the highest official positions have the opportunity to leave their names and play in the imperial court, and they are not a good reputation.

In addition, everyone else is going to die, because they are behind the people, and they can't be known to outsiders at all.

The king of Nanchang is here to extinguish the mouth.

But how dare he.

Turbulent waves rose in the hearts of countless people.

……

"The prince has been in Beijing for many days, and he must know what kind of place this Qinxiangyuan is, if anyone acts recklessly here, then the dozens of colleagues in this building will not let go of the king of Nanchang now." Thirteen Niang's fierce eyes stared at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan smiled disdainfully and said softly: "Does the lady think this king really cares about this?" Maybe the lady forgot that this king just opened his mouth and was ordered by order. Today, in response to the situation, this king has already played His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven, and now who let you die, have you not counted it in your hearts? ”

The faces of the people who were hiding out of sight changed instantly.

They all remembered that the king of Nanchang came here to catch thieves by order, what kind of thieves were arrested, and the thieves who passed through Tibet.

The crime of collaborating with the enemy, even if it is killed on the spot, is not enough at all.

"The prince is here to catch thieves, if the prince wants to search, search casually, if he finds someone and take it away, Qinxiangyuan has always been law-abiding, and the court decrees are everywhere, but there is no hindrance." A somewhat shrill voice came from above the pavilion.

A sixty-year-old man dressed in a light blue brocade robe, with a rickety figure, loose skin, white hair, and hair tied up with a wooden hairpin, walked out from above.

Eunuchs, internal officials.

Seeing this person appear, I don't know how many people breathed a sigh of relief.

"It turned out to be Eunuch Xu, no wonder he can sit in this Pingkangfang."

A flat voice came from behind Li Xuan, and Zhao Gong, who was wearing a black brocade robe, walked out of the building step by step.

Old Eunuch Xu looked up at Zhao Gong, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said a little abruptly after a moment: "It turned out to be Zhao Langjun, the last time I met Zhao Langjun, it was on Mrs. Rongguo's ninetieth birthday, but I didn't expect that after a few years, Zhao Langjun was already the commander of the secret guard." ”

"Where, when you were old and dominant, the younger generation was just a small person, but now that you are old and have been away from the court for a long time, you don't know the personnel changes in the DPRK and China." Zhao Gong bowed slightly, and his eyes were full of vigilance when he looked at Old Eunuch Xu.

The characters who came out alive in the palace, how can there be a simple one.

Old Eunuch Xu was not deceived by Zhao Gong's compliments in the slightest, he looked at Zhao Gong and said: "In this way, the king of Nanchang is here today, and he really has a holy decree. ”

"The king of Nanchang suppressed the thief, and it was His Majesty's holy decree that he only surrounded here before, and did not kill him, but just now, Xia Guan returned from the palace and got the edict of the Queen of Heaven." Zhao Gong's words made all the people who were staring at them in the open and in the dark couldn't help but feel their faces change.

Your Majesty, the Queen of Heaven.

Zhao Gong said softly: "Today's matter is not a one-piece killing, as long as you are obedient, you can have some life; There is a life, and even someone can go, and can leave unharmed; The king of Nanchang can play eighteen corpses in the end, it can be eight corpses, or even none at all.

As long as there is no fight, it is natural that there will be no accidental fire, and there will be no other aftermath.

But if you don't obey, the last corpse will be more than eighteen. ”
