After the eldest grandson Jing left, Xing Xuan fell into deep thought.

In other words, after the second explosion, there are so many possibilities.

One is that the person has a body protector in his hand, and the other is that someone has someone to answer him.

The Body Protector was unrealistic, the explosion after the person made the move was an instantaneous thing, and it was unlikely that he would have time to use the Body Protector Element, and then disappear under the billowing smoke.

Then someone has answered him, and if this is the case, the matter is complicated, and there is even a cold blade waiting for nowhere.

As soon as the explosion ended, the people of the Yuan Hall took over the scene, and if you think about it carefully, then it is likely that the problem is in the Yuan Palace.

Suddenly, Xing Xuan turned her head as if she remembered something.

"Chen, I remember you called me at that time, is there something wrong?"

Hearing this, Chen's heart suddenly tightened, and he said hesitantly: "No...... It's nothing, Brother Son. ”

Xing Xuan looked at her suspiciously, but saw that she didn't want to say anything, so he didn't continue to ask.

"Okay, let's discuss, what do you think is going on with this?" Xing Xuan looked at Amon and Chen.

"We have been clearing the people and have not participated in the fighting, but there is one thing that I did not say when General Changsun was there. Amon said after a moment of contemplation.

Chen also seemed to suddenly realize when he heard this, and said: "That's right, I originally wanted Shang Ji to tell you about this matter, after all, he saw it." ”

"What's the matter?" Xing Xuan had a bad premonition in his heart.

Amon and Chen looked at each other with worried expressions.

"Speak quickly!"

“......... In this way, we were trying to dissuade the people, but for some reason, it seemed that the whole city was surrounded by thick smoke and blazing fire, so we asked Shang Ji to jump to the top of the place, in order to find the way."

But Shang Ji said he saw a strange scene. Chen continued.

He saw a group of guards on horseback in the light of the fire, not in a hurry, surrounded by black crows. ”

"The most important thing is that those people don't know what they are holding in their hands, according to Shang Ji's description, they are bulging bags, and there are still things squirming in them. ”

"What happened later?" asked Xing Xuan.

Later, I don't know what happened, Shang Ji said that his eyes hurt, and when he rubbed it, those people disappeared. Amon added.

“......... Anyway, this is important news. Xing Xuan frowned, "Don't tell anyone about this, especially the people of the Yuan Palace. ”

As they spoke, Chen and Amon nodded.

At this time, the castle tower

The eldest grandson Jing and the hall master stood side by side on the edge of the railing, looking at the dense firelight downstairs.

"There is such an incident at today's burnt ceremony, I am afraid that for a long time after that, the Tianyou County will not be peaceful, and the capital will be in turmoil, and the twenty-one cities will be uneasy, and the border defense will be relaxed, and the major forces will take the opportunity to march. Eldest Sun Jing held his beard and looked at the young hall master beside him, "This is your dereliction of duty. ”

The eldest grandson Jing obviously had a reprimanding tone, but the hall master did not have the slightest anger, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he lowered his eyebrows and said: "What the general said is that this time it is indeed Lone's fault."

The hall master raised his head slightly, looked at the starry sky, and said softly: "If there is such a big event at the burnt ceremony, tomorrow the court will meet, and the lonely will issue an edict, and spare no effort to stabilize the county town and appease the people and officials." ”

Changsun Jing closed his eyes, stroked his beard, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Fang Caichen was rude to the hall master, and asked the hall master to forgive his sins. Eldest Sun Jing arched his hand.

The hall master smiled, held his arched arm, and said humbly: "The general is the mainstay of my hall, a capable minister in controlling chaos, a lonely teacher, and a meritorious service, how can I talk about surrendering?"

Immediately, both of them laughed.

Early in the morning of the second day - the morning meeting

Received the edict of the hall master, as long as the officials in the Yuan Palace, they all need to come to the Qiantai Palace to participate in the court meeting.

Xing Yu received this edict early in the morning, but in the battle last night, his official uniform was torn, and when he was hesitating, an official of the Yuan Palace sent another set of official uniforms.

Seeing this, Xing Yu knew that today's court meeting was very important, and no one should be absent, including a third-rate central official like himself.

Thinking of this, Xing Xuan quickly dressed and tidied up, and did not dare to stride towards Qiantai Palace with some hesitation.

The layout of the Yuan Hall is very ingenious, divided into two parts, the front is naturally facing the public, playing the role of awakening the Yuan Force for Xing Xuan and Chen, and the back is the center of the Yuan Palace, which is also the center of the twenty-one cities under the jurisdiction of the branch hall.

The back is separated from the front by a long moat, and there are high walls, which are connected to the front and back by a drawbridge every day.

Behind it was the office of most of the officials, and likewise, the residence of the lord of the temple.

This is a huge palace complex, five steps on the first floor, ten steps on the first floor, and extremely well defended.

And the Qiantai Palace is the center of this heavily guarded arch, and it is the most solemn place.

Every day, important officials of the Yuan Palace will come here to promote the court to discuss matters, but in addition to announcing important things and performing important ceremonies, it is still rare to see the scene of central officials gathering in Qiantai Palace.

Of course, the burning of the burnt rite was also shocking to everyone, because it was more difficult and almost impossible for officials of all sizes to gather together.

But it's a pity that this incident just happened, and there were countless casualties, blood splashed in front of the temple, and it shocked the entire Tianyou County overnight!

So early in the morning, with the solemn and majestic drum music and sheng flute playing, everyone in the morning sun, through the smoke-emitting ruins, into the Yuan Palace, square steps towards the Qiantai Palace.

Although there are not a few people, they are very orderly, from big to small, and they stepped on the steps of Qiantai Palace in an orderly manner.

As everyone stood still in the splendid and tall palace, the hall master also walked out slowly, waved his sleeves, and sat on the golden chair behind the beaded curtain.

"The ministers knocked to the lord of the hall. The ministers knelt down, and they spoke in unison, and the mountains and the sea shouted, and the momentum was huge.

"Zhongqing is flat. Although the voice of the hall master was soft, it was full of majesty, and it did not look like the image of a weak woman in people's impressions.

The ministers got up slowly, and one of the attendants took a piece of paper and read it aloud: "Since the lonely practice, I have received the grace of the lord of the main hall and the lord of the main hall, and the grace of the people of the twenty-one cities. ”

When the attendant finished reading and retreated, the whole hall knelt down again.

"The hall master is benevolent!"

The hall master waved his hand and motioned for the ministers to get up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, once this incident happened, the impact was widespread, do you have any clues, among your ministers?" said the hall master

At this time, a middle-aged minister stood up, his official uniform was decorated with ordinary patterns, and he did not look like a high-ranking official

"The lord of the palace, the ministers have a play. The officer said aloud.

"Say!"

"After the minister's inquiry last night, coupled with the query of the directory of people entering and leaving the city gate a few days ago, the minister found that this matter has a great relationship with Dingchen Sima. The official said.

After that, the officials of the entire hall were shocked and discussed.

The eldest grandson Jing, who was sitting on the side of the hall master, was shocked and very dignified.

"The hall master, the minister asked to send someone to arrest Dingchen Sima, he is the jurisdiction of the city gate in and out, and the thieves entering the city must have a lot to do with him!"

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the hall master above slapped the table hard, stood up suddenly, and said sharply: "Shut up!"

The ministers were startled and hurriedly silenced.

"Hall Master!" the official exclaimed.

"Shut up! Dingchen Sima is a disciple of the great general, how can he collude with the thieves? Sun Ji, if you dare to talk nonsense in the palace again, you will definitely be punished for the crime of framing your ministers!"

"Hall Master!" Sun Jian hurriedly knelt down and argued, "Hall Master, the thieves can enter the county under the strict inspection of the burnt ceremony, burn the burnt ceremony, and cause trouble to the city government, this matter must be involved in Dingchen Sima!"

As soon as he shouted, another minister stood up and said loudly: "Hall Master, Lord Sun is polite in this remark, and I also ask you to arrest Dingchen Sima immediately!

"Presumptuous!" the hall master shouted, and the entire hall trembled, "Lone has already said that this matter has nothing to do with Dingchen Sima, come on, Sun Liu Erchen bewitched the public at the court meeting, framed the minister, and immediately dragged out the court staff!"

But it didn't come to pass, and sixty percent of the ministers in the hall stood up and knelt down to speak

"The ministers seconded the proposal, the hall master can't do whatever he wants, and the suspicion of Dingchen Sima must be interrogated before it can be known!" "The palace lord's court staff bluntly speaks to the minister, which is blocking the road of loyalty! Who dares to speak up again!"

What's more, he stood up and asked the hall master directly: "Hall master, you have already issued an edict of sin, when you wake up, why do you turn your face so stupid!"

Xing Zhen looked at the quarreling court in a daze, and didn't react to what was happening for a while.

"It's the other way around, it's all the other way around!" the hall master roared angrily, flicking his sleeves, and the pen and ink on the case were swept to the ground.

She was furious, but she had nothing to do in the face of the ministers who had been admonished, so she sat down on the golden chair and panted heavily.

For a moment, there was a stalemate in the hall.

At this time, an old minister stood up and arched his hand: "Hall Master, even if this matter is not Dingchen Sima's betrayal, but the thieves entered the city, and Dingchen Sima was in charge of the four gates and twelve passes, and the crime of dereliction of duty could not be avoided." ”

At this time, the hall master looked helplessly at the eldest grandson Jing under the seat.

Changsun Jing didn't seem to see the eyes of the hall master, only to see him stand up and bow his hand to the hall master: "Hall master, the ministers should correct their mistakes when they hear them, and they should be punished if they are guilty, and don't show favoritism for the sake of the ministers." ”

"General......" The hall master's lips twitched.

"I also ask the hall lord to enforce the law impartially and take Dingchen Sima into custody. Eldest Sun Jing said loudly.

At this time, Xiangguo, who was next to her right, also stood up: "Hall Master, the general is loyal, in this way, he first suspended Dingchen Sima's post and was imprisoned for interrogation, if this matter really has nothing to do with him, he is reinstating his official position, and he is guilty of meritorious service, so good?"

The hall master pondered for a while and looked at Changsun Jing: "What does the general think?"

"Xiangguo arranged it in this way, it can be said that it is comprehensive, and the minister has no opinion. ”

"What do you think?" the hall lord sighed, turned his head and said aloud.

In this way, the ministers looked at each other and did not dare to say more.

"Then do it, remember, after being imprisoned, you will be taken care of, and you must not use severe punishment!"

"No!" the ministers said in unison.

After the court meeting dispersed, Xing Xuan and Changsun Jing walked out of the main hall in parallel.

"Ha, there was a fire last night, I didn't expect the sky to be so good today, it's refreshing. The eldest grandson Jing smiled heartily.

"General, Dingchen Sima is your disciple?" Xing Xuan asked tentatively and carefully.

Sure enough, as he expected, a trace of iron blue flashed on Changsun Jing's face, but then he returned to normal.

"Hmph" Changsun Jing said angrily, "If that kid is derelict in his duties, it's fine, if he really colludes with traitors, and there is no need for Yuandian to enforce the law, I will personally kill him!"

Xing Xuan's whole body sank when he heard this.

"Xiao Zhen, do you have to remember that as a minister, the society is supreme, and loyalty is the supreme, if it is only for one's own selfish desires, it is easy to do wrong things, and sooner or later it will not be tolerated by heaven!"

Hearing this, Xing Xuan nodded, thoughtful.

At this time, a person in the distance was holding a scroll, panting but galloping towards the Qiantai Palace.
