Two shops on Jingcheng Street suddenly caught fire. Fortunately, there were people on patrol, and the shop controlled the fire in time. People on the street gradually left. Miss Yu San, who was standing by the street, was still looking at the crowd and smiling and chatting with her.
Young man talking.
The young man's face and body were covered with dirt. He reached out to pat the officers and soldiers around him. They talked and laughed for a while, and then he went to pick up the shopkeeper who was huddled in the corner and crying bitterly, presumably to cheer up the shopkeeper.
The young man pointed with his fingers, patted his chest, and raised his head with some pride and pride on his face.
"Third Miss, that is Prince Anyi." The servant inquired about the information and reported it to Miss Yu San.
Miss Yu San was a little surprised. They all said that the Prince of Anyi was an incompetent dude. She didn't expect that he could lead people to put out the fire. However, she soon felt relieved. The Prince didn't seem to have much power in the city.
He is arrogant and does not know how to restrain himself in front of others. Even if he has some strength, he is still foolhardy.
In other words, Xu Qing'an's shortcomings are too obvious and she cannot be entrusted with important responsibilities. She can only be arranged here to deal with the things in front of her. She is not as good as her brothers.
Even if Xu Qing'an can become an official and lead troops to fight in the future, she will definitely not be able to surpass her elder brother. Although Xu Qing'an was born in the Anyi Marquis Palace, she spent most of her time pampering herself in the palace. Her brothers were sent to the military camp by their father when they were young, and they experienced
He has fought a lot of wars and has been polished since he was a child. Now he is worthy of his title of leading the army, rather than being superficially glamorous like Xu Qing'an.
Miss Yu San thought about it, and the people around her reported, "Just as the eldest lady thought, someone set the fire deliberately. We saw with our own eyes that Prince Anyi and his men arrested the arson thieves and sent them to the Yamen.
.”
Miss Yu San nodded. She didn’t know if Miss Xu was behind Xu Qingan and others. Or there were other people helping. The whole thing was done in a very organized manner. The arsonist was sent to the Yamen. If the Yamen could interrogate him overnight,
It won't take long to figure out the true intentions of these thieves.
Jingzhong is indeed extraordinary, she has seen this just after being here for a few days.
"Go and inquire," Miss Yu San said, "there must be something else happening."
Those arson thieves did not just burn down two shops.
Miss Yu San was about to leave, but she saw a figure not far away. She couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat. The man was wearing a blue gown, his cuffs were rolled up high, and he was holding a wooden bucket in his hand. His eyes were as clear as the bright moon.
That's Li Xu.
Li Xu also came.
When Miss Yu San was slightly absent-minded, Li Xu had already walked quickly into the crowd.
Miss Yu San couldn't help but walked a few steps in the direction of Li Xu, but she stopped soon. There was no use in catching up like this. At most, she could get a few polite words from Li Xu. She wouldn't be sure if she didn't do it.
thing.
Miss Yu San turned around and walked in another direction. The most important thing right now is to know all the secrets behind this. Every change is an opportunity. Only those who seize the opportunity will have a better future.
"Hahaha," Xu Qing'an's laughter came from the crowd again, "How about it, I'm pretty good, aren't you? A few thieves dare to do something in front of me, but don't be too careless. It's best to send more of them these days.
There are people standing on the fire watch tower, and if any clues are discovered, they will immediately sound the gong to warn."
Miss Yu San walked forward, and Xu Qingan's voice gradually became farther and farther away from her.
…
Zhang family.
After receiving the news, Zhang Yuci had already dressed and sat in the study.
The staff and stewards in the room were waiting for Zhang Yuci's instructions.
Zhang Yuci took a sip of tea and looked out the window. Tonight seemed to be extremely long. She didn't know what was going on in the palace now. The events of that year were brought up. The emperor should know how important the Zhang family is. If he wants to stabilize his throne, he cannot do without it.
Open the Zhang family's Sasuke, otherwise the covetous royal family members will reach out to the emperor at any time.
"Sir," one of the staff stepped forward and said, "the emperor will definitely send a message to the palace for you to enter."
"The king's heart is unpredictable," Zhang Yuci ordered, "You all should step aside. I will call you again if something happens."
The staff and stewards all bowed and left.
Zhang Yuci slowly showed a smile.
…
In the palace.
The emperor stepped barefoot on the bright gold bricks, and the cold air under his feet seemed to rush into his body.
"Tianjia, no, this is absolutely impossible."
The officials and palace officials all knelt on the ground and begged.
The emperor was unmoved. He was still walking around the hall. His face was full of uncontrollable anger. The eldest princess of Jiashan dared to say such words in public.
"I should kill her," the emperor roared angrily. "She dared to disrespect the late emperor and said such words. It is an unforgivable crime. The late emperor treated her very well. Even her marriage was personally chosen by the late emperor.
He also gave her such a huge mansion, such an ungrateful thing...
It was in vain that I named her the eldest princess after I succeeded to the throne. If I had known earlier, I should have changed the title to the county princess."
"Your Majesty." Feng Shun reported in a low voice.
The emperor was so angry that he didn't hear Feng Shun's voice. There was only one thing in his mind. For the sake of his grandson, the eldest princess of Jiashan said that Prince Jing and the princess were both killed by the late emperor. The emperor felt offended.
He felt that his superior authority could not be violated or questioned by anyone. He wanted to kill people and kill those who disrespected him.
"Let Zongzheng Temple arrest the eldest princess of Jiashan for questioning. I want to know who asked her to say this, who else in the clan has such thoughts, and what do they want to do?"
Feng Shun agreed, but before he retreated, a voice said, "Apart from the eldest princess of Jiashan, who else is the emperor planning to arrest? There is also Princess Cheng present. In addition to them, there are probably many other members of the royal family.
Now that you know what happened tonight, if you look into it carefully, many people will be implicated?
I'm afraid that little Jiashan is not the mastermind behind the scenes. It will not do them any good to smear the late emperor. Pulling the emperor off the throne or seizing the emperor's handle is what they really want to do. The emperor is like this
Do you want to?"
The emperor raised his head and saw the queen mother being helped by someone.
The Queen Mother looked solemn and stared at the Emperor without blinking, reminding the Emperor of the day when he succeeded to the throne many years ago, when the Queen Mother looked at him the same way.
The emperor immediately saluted the Queen Mother and then looked at Feng Shun.
"Don't look at him," the Queen Mother said, "Feng Shun reported it to you, but you didn't hear it."
The Queen Mother walked to the chair and sat down. "Emperor, you are carried away by your anger. It will not be a good thing for you if this continues. I am afraid that the political situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty will also be unstable as a result."
Feng Shun led everyone back, leaving only the mother and son talking in the hall.
The Queen Mother said, "The Ai family has known about this for a long time. Ever since Huijing was arrested, someone has sent a letter to the Zhang family. If the court does not let Huijing go, they will reveal the secret of the Northwest War."
