1282 Thunderstorm

The thunderstorm became more and more intense. At Yinshi, the palace guards and the imperial army arrived. The floor of the inner hall was covered with blood, and there were eight dead bodies lying on it. One of the father-in-law was chopped to pieces and his flesh and blood were blurred.

The other father-in-laws were hiding in the outer hall, shivering and not daring to go in.

Zhongshu Neishang's political affairs hall was alarmed, several carriages stopped outside Yanguang Hall, and several high officials on duty hurriedly entered Emperor Xuan Yan's chamber.

The severed limbs and the flying flesh and blood caused several people to retch on the spot, cover their mouths and run out.

Zhuge Shan was also among them, and he didn't feel sick about it, but in this wrong place, whoever wanted to stay would be kept, so he pretended to feel uncomfortable and ran out.

A fast horse came running, and Jinwu Weilang, who had just been pushed out of his sleep, got off the horse and saw a group of ministers supporting the wall and shouting in distress. He bowed his head to say hello, but no one paid attention to him.

Ling Wenyi walked in quickly.

Li Ju, who was slashing and killing, was huddled in the dragon bed holding the scabbard of his sword, shivering.

The father-in-laws in the outer palace all came back. Although they were scared, they still stepped forward to comfort him.

Xun Fei, the commander of the Forbidden Army, was already there, working with General Lang of the Palace Guards and Yulin Guards to persuade the emperor to leave.

The emperor seemed to be unable to hear the voices of others, and kept holding the empty sword shell, muttering to himself.

Several imperial doctors couldn't get up, and he would kick anyone who came near.

It was not until the concubines from the harem and the princes who had built a mansion outside the palace arrived that the father-in-law finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Who would have thought that in this oppressive and dark palace, the only ones who had a good attitude toward them were these concubines.

Aunt Yujing, who was beside Concubine Mu, led the father-in-law to the outer hall, comforting them and asking what happened.

All the father-in-laws were paralyzed with fear and couldn't speak clearly.

Aunt Yujing sorted out the complete information from the broken words, thanked them, and turned back.

As soon as she entered the inner hall, Aunt Yujing was startled.

It was not because the emperor started to be violent again, but because he was coaxed out like a child by Concubine Mu and Concubine De.

Seeing that his temperament had become gentler, the third prince Li Hao and the fifth prince Li Hui looked at several imperial doctors and motioned for them to come forward.

The doctors immediately got up and went over.

The sky is getting brighter and brighter, the thunderstorm in the sky has calmed down, and the vegetation in Hejing has been destroyed by the power of thunder.

A large number of buildings collapsed, rivers poured in, and fertile soil was flooded. The Ministry of Industry and the governor of Jingzhao were extremely busy.

An order was sent from the palace to cancel the morning meeting today.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry sent Yingman Lang Fan and other springs to the palace to report. Peng Zhuowen, the young Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, and him entered the palace.

The two of them went in but did not return. In the afternoon, the Ministry of Industry sent people into the palace again, and soon reported back that Fan Dengchun and Peng Zhuowen had not yet seen the Holy Face, and the emperor's dragon body was not in good condition.

At Shen Shi in the afternoon, strong winds arose from heaven and earth again, and a vast sea of ​​clouds came from the east. The roof tiles flew away, and sand and rocks were blown away.

The director of the Capital Office sent by the Ministry of Works to repair the city defense in the southwest saw the people gathering at the end of the road during a thunderstorm. He raised his hand and waved: "Hurry up and pick up your umbrella and pick them up!"

The craftsmen were unwilling to go, so after his repeated orders, a dozen of them walked out and ran to pick him up.

The people who entered the city despite the heavy rain knelt down one after another and thanked those in charge of the capital.

The shelter from the rain is a ten-foot-long shed under the city wall.

Although ten feet is big, the more people there are, the harder it is to stay.

The most important officer in charge of the capital city shouted angrily: "You are so ignorant that you dare to rush on this thunderstorm! If you are hit by lightning, you will be killed on the spot!"

The director of the capital city saw that these twenty people were not badly dressed and said, "Aren't you refugees?"

No one dared to speak. They looked at each other and pursed their lips tightly.

"What are you doing?" the assistant scolded again, "We braved the rain and risked our lives to save each other, but you actually guarded us like thieves!?"

"No, no!" one person shouted, "I don't dare to be disrespectful to the common people, but this matter is too involved. It's for the officials' good that we don't talk to them!"

The head of the capital city was solemn and looked at the assistant officials.

The assistant's expression was also not good.

The heavy rain became more and more fierce, and the sky suddenly became as dark as midnight, so dark that I couldn't see my fingers clearly.

After returning, the director of the Capital Office stood behind the accompanying desk with a worried look on his face.

The desk is covered with blueprints of the entire city defense, as well as account books showing the consumption of various major materials.

At present, everything is crumbling. In addition to the city wall, dozens of nearby houses have also collapsed.

However, the rain refused to let up.

The director of the capital office looked up at the heavy rain. While he was worried about the endless bad weather, he thought of what he had just said.

Too much involvement...

Don't talk to the officials, it's for their own good...

Okay, what a fart!

In this current situation, there are thousands of hidden turbulences under the water. If you are not careful, the whole family, young and old, will be caught up.

The head of the capital city became more and more upset as he thought about it, so he called for his assistant.

The two of them pushed away the others and hid in a corner of the awning.

The head of the capital office said worriedly: "Although you and I are just petty officials, it is petty officials like you and me who are most likely to be implicated."

The subordinate had a bad temper and shouted: "Especially since we are still the Ministry of Works!"

When the Ministry of Works came out, there were two thorns in the emperor's side. They were Song Du, the former Minister of Works, who had the highest official rank in the Ministry of Works, and Huang Mi, the minister of the Ministry of Works. As a result, the Emperor always disliked the Ministry of Works after arriving in Hejing.

However, compared with the prosperity of the Yong'an Imperial City, Hejing only had one Jinping Palace, which was far from enough. A new palace must be built.

And the appearance of the capital outside the palace gate must not be ugly or simple.

In just a few years, the entire Hejing has been renovated every day, not only the houses, but also the roads.

The Ministry of Industry was extremely busy, planning city defenses, building markets, demolishing and rebuilding a large number of houses, and reclaiming wasteland for expansion.

But it was because of his former ministers and ministers that the emperor not only failed to sympathize with them, but also found trouble and withheld funds from them every day.

After a secret discussion between the director of the capital office and the assistant officials, they finally decided to call someone over and ask quietly.

If this involvement is really big enough to affect them, then it would be best to pack up your things and run away now to be one step ahead.

Not long after, the sergeant arrested a man who looked timid and came back.

The man didn't know what mistake he had made, so he knelt down with a thud and said, "Sir, please have mercy on me! I have an old man above me and a young one below me. Please spare my life, sir!"

The head of the capital office frowned and said to the assistant: "You come and ask."

The man didn't know what the two of them meant, and huddled on the ground, trembling.

After hearing the question from the assistant, he felt slightly relieved and looked up at them: "Your Excellency, you are just here to ask questions?"

"Otherwise, what can happen? Say it quickly!"

"Yes, yes..." the man breathed a sigh of relief, "Sir, I am from Mingtai County, Xizhou, from Xucheng."

"Xucheng." The head of the capital city said in a low voice.

No wonder these people say that the involvement is too big. Ever since Princess Yangping caused a storm in the city last year and finally fell into trouble in Xucheng, Xucheng has never had a peaceful day.

The most violent turmoil recently, and the principal has heard about it, is related to the spring tax.
