Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2988 The situation is tense

Those two hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "My subordinate Pei Xingjian and General Xin Mao have met Song Guogong."

Xiao Yu took a closer look by the light of the fire, nodded and said: "So it's the two doctors."

He knew that both of them were Fang Jun's confidantes, and among them, Pei Xingjian was enlisted by His Royal Highness to enter the Ministry of Civil Affairs as a doctor in the Ministry of Finance to assist His Highness in implementing reforms in the Ministry of Civil Affairs...

"It's not that this old man is troubled, it's just that Chang'an is shaking right now, and the palace is full of shadows. It's not suitable for the two of you to enter the palace at this time."

Even if he is a confidant, he is not qualified to enter the palace at this time.

What's the matter?
Fang Jun explained: "Today, these two were sent by His Royal Highness to go to Zuo Tunwei to check the accounts. As a result, before the accounts were reviewed, a fire broke out in the account room, which almost burned them both to death... Now it is time to go to His Highness to report the details of the matter."

"what?!"

Xiao Yu's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Is this Chai Zhewei crazy? The left and right are just audit books, even if there are some tricks in it, who can treat him as a royal relative?"

He actually set fire to the account book to cover up the tricks in the account book...

Either Chai Zhewei took the wrong medicine and went crazy, or the matter in the account book was too important, so important that even he, the hereditary founder of the country, could not bear it, so he had to take the risk. way to cover up everything...

Fang Jun said indifferently: "Who knows? But let's go in quickly. His Royal Highness must be very worried right now."

"Ah."

Xiao Yu went first, thinking that it was not just because she was too worried?Xuanwumen is not only the northern gate of the imperial palace, but also has a history forged with blood. Not to mention the soft temper of the prince, even if His Majesty Li Er sits in the Taiji Palace today, I am afraid that he will be very scared...

Along the way, the servants led them to the Lizheng Hall, but they saw that the hall was already brightly lit. All the way, the entire Eastern Palace was full of figures, and there were guards in full armor everywhere. The guards were extremely strict.Countless archers were ambushed in the shadows of trees on both sides of the road. Even if a bird flew in at this time, it would be smashed to pieces instantly.

At the gate of the Lizheng Hall, the servants entered Tongbing, and returned in a moment, inviting several people to enter.

Xiao Yu was in front, Fang Jun was half a step behind, Pei Xingjian and General Xin Mao followed behind them and entered the brightly lit hall.

After entering the hall, he saw Li Siwen, Cheng Chubi, Qu Tuquan and other leading captains of the Six Commanders of the Eastern Palace lined up on the left and right, while the crown prince Li Chengqian was dressed in ordinary clothes, sitting in the hall with a rather calm expression.

Several people came forward to salute, Li Chengqian let out a long breath when he saw Fang Jun coming, and asked: "How is the situation outside? General Li only reported that there were flames rising into the sky in the Zuo Tunwei camp, and the soldiers were in chaos, but he didn't know What the hell happened."

Before that, when he faced the sixth captain, he could barely maintain his composure on the face, but in his heart he had panicked like a dog...

His father's position as the emperor was obtained after entering the palace from the Xuanwu Gate. No one knows better than him what the Xuanwu Gate means to the palace. Once the Xuanwu Gate falls, the emperor in the palace can only be like Like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, there is no room for struggle.

Not to mention him, even if his grandfather, Emperor Gaozu, heard that the Xuanwu Gate fell into the hands of His Majesty Li Er, didn't he immediately acquiesce in the fact that His Majesty Li Er killed brothers and brothers, and happily canonized His Majesty Li Er as the crown prince? Then within a few days, he abdicated the throne and was sent to the Daxing Palace to "care for the rest of his life"?
Fang Jun replied: "Don't worry, Your Highness, it was the account room of the Zuo Tunwei that caused the chaos. When the incident happened, Wei Chen was in the barracks of the Right Tunwei. He immediately sent soldiers to inquire. After learning that the fire had been extinguished, Pei Xingjian and others were ordered to go to inspect it. The officials are also safe and sound, and ordered the general of the right guard, Gao Kan, to lead the army to guard the gate of the left guard camp, strictly prohibiting the generals and soldiers from entering and leaving, just in case of accidents."

Li Chengqian naturally saw Pei Xingjian and General Xin Mao behind Fang Jun, why didn't he understand what happened?
Immediately, the fear disappeared and anger arose. He slapped the table next to him hard and said angrily: "Bastard! The imperial court sent people to check the account books, and all departments must cooperate unconditionally. How dare he, Chai Zhewei, burn the account books brazenly and send them to the court?" Where is the order of the court and the majesty of the law? It's lawless!"

The clay figurine has a three-point earthiness!

There has never been such an arrogant and domineering person in the ruling and opposition parties. If the father is still in the capital and lends him Chai Zhewei two courages, would he dare to do this?
It's obvious that I'm a soft-tempered person who is easy to bully?
It just doesn't make sense!
Xiao Yu stroked his beard and did not speak. Chai Zhewei's behavior was indeed too bullying...

Once Li Chengqian had a fit, his anger dissipated, and he said to Pei Xingjian and Xin Mao, "You two have been wronged by this matter. That thief is disrespectful and lawless, and I will definitely punish him severely! You two have worked hard all day, and I will order you to kill him." Escort you back to the mansion, so you can rest, and do your best for the court in the future."

He didn't ask about the results of the inspection of Zuo Tunwei's account books, which is meaningless.

If there is no big problem, why would Chai Zhewei risk the world's displeasure by setting fire to the account books?Since it is a huge problem, now that the account books have been burned, it is difficult to conduct a thorough investigation of Chai Zhewei without real evidence.

Still the same sentence, the current Chang'an City should take stability as the top priority. As long as Chai Zhewei does not commit rebellion, even if it is too much, the court must leave room for it...

Pei Xingjian and Xin Mao said hurriedly: "This is the duty of the ministers. It is really unpredictable that the rampant rebellion will cause such evil things to happen."

Then he stood aside, silent.

This kind of matter is too important, and they are not qualified to intervene among the six doctors...

Hearing that it was probably because of resisting the inspection, Li Chengqian deliberately set fire to the account books. Although Li Chengqian couldn't hide his anger, he finally calmed down and asked Xiao Yu and Fang Jun to sit down. He was about to ask how to deal with this matter when he saw a servant entering the palace Tong Bing said that the prince's young teacher Yu Zhining, Jing Zhaoyin Ma Zhou, Li Daozong, Minister of Rites, Jiangxia County King Li Daozong and other officials had come to the gate of the East Palace and asked for an audience.

Li Chengqian ordered people to bring all the officials into the hall and give them all seats.

After the court lady served the tea, Li Chengqian looked at the officials in front of him and asked: "Father, the emperor personally conquered and gave Gu the right to supervise the country. However, Gu has little experience and insufficient ability, so I don't know how to deal with these things. Teach me?"

Yu Zhining said: "The left and right guards are the troops of the Suwei Xuanwu Gate. The responsibility is heavy, and there must be no slack in the slightest. No matter why the Zuo Tunwei caught fire, the turmoil caused by the fire is an unforgivable crime. It should be done immediately. Call him into the palace, ask for details, and then make a decision."

He is the great-grandson of Yu Jin, the Taishi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. His ancestor was originally from the Wanniu Yu clan of the Xianbei nobleman. When Emperor Xiaowen reformed, he changed the Han surname to Yu and moved to Luoyang, Henan. The rich family has been a high-ranking official in the Northern Wei Dynasty for generations.Since Yu Jin's family entered the customs and moved to Chang'an, he ranked among the eight pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty and became the top family member of the Guanlong Group.

However, he was not fettered by the interests of the Guanlong nobles at all. He not only assisted His Majesty Li Er wholeheartedly, but also spared no effort to teach the prince Li Chengqian after he became the prince's junior teacher.

Right now, the entire Guanlong nobles are supporting Jin Wang Li Zhi to fight for the heir, but Yu Zhining is still determined to stand by Li Chengqian's side, unwavering...

Li Daozong added: "At the same time, you should order You Tunwei and Baiqisi to monitor the Zuo Tunwei barracks nearby, and order their soldiers to lay down their weapons and not leave the camp without authorization. Otherwise, they will be regarded as rebellious and will be executed! Your Highness should also order all the city gates to strictly prohibit entry and exit, in case someone takes the opportunity to cause chaos."

Zuo Tunwei doesn't necessarily want to do something wrong, but the situation is ever-changing, so we must guard against it; the rest of the people may not have the intention of rebellion at first, but once the city of Chang'an becomes chaotic, let those people see that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, there is no guarantee that they will not give birth. The heart of the minister.

After all, the emperor's personal conquest was not in Chang'an, and Guanzhong was empty of troops. These factors will inevitably make people's minds tempted, and disobedience breeds...

Xiao Yu also nodded and said: "It should be so. Although the reason for the Zuo Tunwei's fire may not be due to evil intentions, but this move has caused turmoil in the entire capital. Right now, people are in panic. Your Highness should severely warn the Zuo Tunwei, and at the same time warn those inside and outside the city. The army, if it crosses the thunder pool half a step, the only way is to be smashed to pieces! As for Chai Zhewei...immediately call him into the palace, and temporarily remove the right to command the army!"
