Chapter 124 Fire
You gave me a very unexpected surprise, which stimulated me not to sleep for nearly twenty hours (it can be proved by adding essence every two or three hours). But in the face of your enthusiasm, it is worth it to fight like this. Continue to fight and strive for the seventh update today. Please support me with monthly tickets.
===========================
In August, a palace was just built in Da Neili called Wende Hall. It was originally a small matter, but a big thing happened that night.
A fire suddenly broke out in the palace, which was burned from the bedroom, and the night wind was strong, and the autumn wind roared and huh, and because the palace was almost made of wood, the flames were swept by the wind and jumped happily several feet high. Almost half of the people in the capital saw the palace fire.
The guards and eunuchs rushed to put out the fire, but where could they be put out?
This burn, Chongde, Changchun, Zhufu, Huiqing, Tianhe, Chengming and Yanqing, all of which were burned to ashes. Fortunately, a small yellow eunuch named Wang Shougui "discovered" in time and helped Zhao Zhen and Liu E into the back garden.
The autumn night was full of dew, and who did the mother and son stand in the night wind? He stood in the back garden for a night before the fire stopped.
The old lady was so angry!
So I sent someone to investigate. It was not a trivial matter, but it was burned from the bedroom. Could it be that someone wanted to kill her? I arrested the eunuchs and maids in the palace, beat them hard and beat them hard, and tortured them severely. In the end, all the spearheads were pointed at one person, his adopted son, His Majesty now!
The old lady's brain, which had an IQ of 16, immediately crashed and it took her half a day to wake up.
It is difficult to deal with this matter. It is impossible to destroy your son and establish a new king. The son has been ascended to the throne for almost ten years, not at the beginning. If he did this, no one would expect the consequences. So he endured it and did not happen.
But this matter must be given an explanation to the people of the world. We cannot tell the people that my son was so idle that he ordered someone to set fire. Finally, he added the charge to a "sewing man" who was doing needlework in the palace, and he was falsely imprisoned and handed him over to Kaifeng Mansion, and asked Cheng Lin to behead him and made the big things turn into small things. He just thought that his son was ignorant and learned that he had a Zen. It was much less than that.
And Cheng Lin is her confidant, so she will know that this matter must be dealt with quickly.
However, this time Cheng Lin disappointed her. I wouldn't know if it was not a scaffolding person! Our Kaifeng government office is not only a guillotine of the court, but also an interrogation agency. There is no obvious evidence, so don't think I will cut people randomly. Old lady, give me the roadmap for the fire first and let me take a look. Yes, I will kill you, no, if you should release someone, you will release someone.
The old lady made her son very angry at this time, and her IQ dropped sharply. She was so confused that she really made people draw the picture. Cheng Lin lay on the picture and studied it for a long time and said, "There is no trace of fire. [% high-speed text first launch site] It may be God's will. Your Majesty should cultivate virtue and respond. Now he attributes the crime to an innocent palace servant and immediately give it to death, which is even more important to the punishment of heaven."
What the old lady fears the most is Cheng Lin’s words.
In the book, the little emperor cooperated very well and deliberately came out to pardon the Seuling people and other palace servants involved in order to ease the prison.
Lao Cheng must have inserted a kick in the middle, but no one knows how deep it was.
Sure enough, the palace chief Teng Zongliang and the secretary Liu Zhao began to write a letter: "You must use stone to attack jade, and you must use fish to wash brocade. There are those who are the most humble and can become noble, and people also have them... However, the imperial edict has not been released, and the news is still strict, which may violate the will of heaven's precepts, which will deeply affect the two palaces' love of life. Moreover, the woman is weak and weak, so why not ask for anything under the Chu!... The country is king of the world with its virtues. Fire loses its nature, and government loses its roots."
The memorial was a bit long, mainly to make the old lady exaggerate and put on a big hat, and just pull the old lady out and put on shackles, and travel to the imperial streets of Kaifeng Prefecture. The Song Dynasty was the king of fire virtue in the world. Now that the fire is out of power, it is burning itself, and the root of the disease lies with you. It is because you messed up the government and lost the basics of the government. Get rid of the curtain quickly and return the power to the emperor, so that the country will be peaceful.
The old lady didn't deal with these two people, and sat in the harem in a daze.
Why did I raise this unfilial son? What exactly does this son want to do?
Cheng Lin's betrayal and his son's unfilial piety made the old lady sad.
...
The burning was also burned, and the beautiful and glorious inner palace could not add a large piece of broken walls. I also issued an edict to recruit craftsmen from all over the country and transport materials to the capital for re-repair.
How quickly will such a big thing spread?
It was spread to Zhengzhou in just one day.
Fortunately, many students caress their chests, but fortunately, the fire occurred in August, otherwise the examination will be suspended again. It is definitely too late to suspend it now. Nearby states can issue edicts in time. However, the remote prefectures, after the imperial examination is issued, the examination edicts will be over long ago.
Who knows the truth?
Someone knows that Zheng Lang.
Even some historical books hesitated and finally agreed that it was the little emperor's work, but it is impossible to know how many people participated. But there were two people who definitely participated. One was Cheng Lin, who might be a little shallower, or did not know in advance, but took the initiative to show his diligence to the little emperor, which gave the little emperor courage. The other person was the eunuch Yan Yingwen. Later, the little emperor's respect for him was inexplicable. It is possible that it was this participation that made the little emperor very grateful to him from the bottom of his heart.
The matter is not over, and a series of dazzling actions will occur below, until the old lady is so angry that she is sick and dies.
But who did the two of them did the right thing and who did the wrong thing?
This is an era of patriarchal power. The old lady restrained power too tightly. The little emperor made some small counterattacks, which is reasonable. In fact, this counterattack was very funny. However, there were many "loyal" people in the court who fell into the trap to cooperate. The old lady was not hard-working. Faced with the sudden incident, she chose to retreat step by step to make the little emperor succeed. In fact, compared to the dark, gloomy and strange political struggles in other dynasties, the little emperor's actions were simply a funny joke.
Did the old lady do something wrong?
There is nothing wrong! The little emperor is very young and naive now. Just look at the strange things that happened in the past few years as soon as the old lady died. The little emperor has no ability to really take over this country. The only one is the old lady who has grasped power too tightly.
But think about it again?
Looking through history books, see how many princes die in the mortality rate of each emperor's son? In the wealthy palace, there are countless medical doctors with timely treatment, and the survival rate is less than half that of ordinary children!
For example, the son of Emperor Zhenzong of Song, and the future son of the little emperor.
What is the reason?
If the old lady did not have the protection of the sky, let Concubine Li feed him, let me see if there would be the young emperor today?
Originally, he shouldn't have considered this matter, but next year's bigger thing, he wanted to get into it and get a little trick on the Eight Wise Kings. He had to consider it. At that time, you are right, your Majesty, and the Queen Mother is right. I want to mix with you and go home to drink the northwest wind.
Who can get into this matter is not a famous big shot! Who will tolerate your ambiguousness?
In fact, the dispute between right and wrong is the dispute between morality.
This made Zheng Lang think of Confucianism again. He pondered in prison for a few days. After he was released, he rarely thought about it due to laziness. There were too many main academic works, such as "Song and Yuan Academic Case" and supplements, which had more than 10,000 pages, as well as the thoughts of great Confucians such as Chen Xianzhang, Wang Yangming, Luo Qinshun, Wu Tinghan, Liu Zongzhou, and Huang Zongxi from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Even if you turn it page by page in your mind, it will take several months to turn it.
Where did he have this time to reflect?
However, it seems that he is forced to think about the moral standards in his heart.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed and savoring it one by one in my mind. This is a very boring thing. As a later generation, I can immerse myself in these Confucian scholars, which is less than one ten. But this time it seems that I have really immersed in it. It took several hours to "mediate" and Jiang Xing'er and Si'er a little worried. Si'er wanted to talk, but Jiang Xing'er waved her hand and signaled her not to say it. Zheng Lang wanted to "think". But she also used her little hand to quietly put it under Zheng Lang's nostrils and explored it.
"Are you angry?" Sier was worried and said the wrong thing.
"I'm not angry, am I still a human?" Zheng Lang asked them to wake up and heard Sier's dizzy words and said unhappy.
Jiang Xing'er patted Si'er's head and laughed.
But Zheng Lang was not annoyed. Sier often had some confusions, but he was really loyal to himself. Sometimes he felt that Jiang Xing'er was not a nerd, but Sier was a fool.
Jumped out of the bed, the two little girls drew well water, brought a towel, and asked him to wash his face.
This kind of life can make people develop the habit of laziness, and sometimes it is so comfortable that Zheng Lang doesn't want to work hard anymore.
Sier tiptoed and said, "Dalang, I said the wrong thing."
After saying that, he hung his head and wanted to slap himself.
"You," Zheng Lang pinched her little face lovingly and said, "It doesn't matter, it's just that he said the wrong thing. I also said that Dong Zhongshu said the wrong thing?"
Another cold joke.
Jiang Xing'er laughed loudly.
Sier still felt guilty and didn't know what to do.
"Come on, the exam is about to begin. I wish me a good job and kiss me."
"Okay," he was young after all. He didn't know yet. He just watched Jiang Xing'er learn, so he put his little tongue in Zheng Lang's lips and stirred up. Jiang Xing'er looked at her clumsy kissing, bent down again and laughed.

Watch Qiaoyun in February and August.
The clouds in February are low, charming, soft, peach blossoms, enchanting and charming young women, the beautiful and quietness of the Guqin song "Spring Flower River Moon Night". The clouds in August are completely different, high, light, and loud, the arrogant autumn chrysanthemums, the noble character in the deep mountains and valleys, and the melodiousness of the bagpipe "The Wind from the South"...
Before the star Qiming went dark, a ray of red glow had appeared in the east, and light and beautiful fish scales in the sky flashed with magnificent colors, which was extremely beautiful.
Suddenly a ray of light soared into the sky, and a red sun rose from the colorful clouds in an instant. The sky and the earth seemed to be lit in the blink of an eye!
Zhengzhou City is also lively.
The Zhengzhou Examination Examination, which has attracted countless attention, has finally begun! (To be continued)
