Jieyu hurriedly stopped him: "When the time comes, you can do whatever the prince says. Don't worry about those messy things. Don't ask anything. Do you understand?"
Gao Rong just nodded.
Jieyu sighed, hugged his waist from behind, and said softly: "You, you don't have as many brains as them, so don't worry too much. Since you are on his side, just follow the path to the end."
Gao Rong said slowly: "I don't want to."
Jieyu patted his breastplate gently: "Every choice in the world can be satisfactory. Sometimes, it doesn't matter whether you think about it or not... I know you are hesitant, but your hesitation can only make me more worried... …”
Gao Rong was silent for a long time and gently touched her hand: "Give me time."
"Well..." Jieyu pressed her cheek tightly against his broad back and slowly closed her eyes.
…
Morning morning on the fourth day.
There were originally a mountain of more than a hundred memorials, but in the end only a pitiful twelve were left.
Amidst the uneasiness of the civil and military officials in the court, the regent read them one by one and finally nodded with some satisfaction.
Everyone then heaved a sigh of relief, it was done, and the requirements were finally met.
But many people did not realize that in this process, many things had been dealt with by them, and the rest were only things that had to be decided in court. At the same time, these have also been sorted out in order.
It can even be said that all it takes is Jiang Fan's instructions. What to do is already known.
Just when they thought that the regent was about to start discussing matters one by one, the prince just picked up a big pen and wrote a big word on each memorial - "Read."
Then he announced his resignation.
The ministers were confused again.
Especially the twelve principals, holding their own memorials and looking at the bright red word "read" on it, fell into deep confusion.
Yes or no? You can just give me a word, just read it. What do you mean?
The twelve principals carried the memorial and walked away in a bad mood. Li Xiu was also very confused. He walked side by side with Meng for a while before he said with a bitter smile: "Old Duke, what do you think, His Highness the Regent... is... Are you slacking off?"
Meng Ao's stomach is a little cramped, I'm afraid you feel right...
"It's just that there are some big things that can't be delayed." Li Xiu frowned slightly.
What could the old commander say? He could only think thoughtfully and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Li. These matters are serious. The regent has not given any instructions on the spot, and he may be thinking about it deeply. We might as well... take a look at it tomorrow..."
Li Xiu had no choice but to clasp his fists and retreat, and went to discuss the matter of memorial with his colleagues again.
And the regent who was "thinking deeply" was not thinking about these things at all at the moment.
In his eyes, something was even more burning.
It is indeed a fire, Jiuli Courtyard is in ruins.
By the time Jiang Fan arrived, the fire had already burned out, and the fire had become very weak. Even the huge iron-eating beast stone sculpture had become half gray and half white, making it look more like a god.
Zhao Gao helped Manager Liu direct the aftermath with a look of panic on his face, but saw that the prince was just looking at the stone carving in admiration, and felt puzzled in his heart. You have been looking at this thing since the beginning, and you don't know what's so interesting about it.
"My lord, this fire... is strange." Zhao Gao stepped forward and said.
"Oh? What do you think is weird?"
Zhao Gaodao: "You just came to visit Jiuli Villa and asked to take it over. Suddenly there was water here, and it burned so fiercely. It burned like this in just two hours. If you say there was no premeditation, it is really unbelievable. .”
Jiang Fan looked at him: "Premeditated? No way. Who is so bold as to set fire to the Emperor's other courtyard?"
Zhao Gao opened his mouth to say something, but his little eyes suddenly shrank, and he said with a smile: "I'm just guessing. It's a dry day today, so I can't say for sure what's going on."
Jiang Fan pointed at him and nodded repeatedly: "You... you have a flexible mind."
Zhao Gao did not dare to speak randomly.
In Da Qin, the only person who dares to do this or has the possibility to do this is the Supreme Emperor himself, except for you.
The Supreme Emperor doesn't want to give it. Obviously, Jiuli Courtyard has some secrets, so it makes perfect sense to take action. And you don't care about fire at all, you only care about looking at the iron-eating beast. Is this normal? Therefore, you are also very likely to commit a crime...
But I can’t say who did it, no matter what I say, it’s all seeking death. Zhao Gao regretted his bald mouth just now without thinking.
"Manager Liu just said that the fire was fierce and nothing could be saved."
Jiang Fan smiled and said: "No wonder, the fire broke out at ten o'clock in the morning. Everyone was sleeping soundly, so the rescue was not timely."
Zhao Gao's heart moved slightly, Jiang Fan's words seemed to have a meaning. The fire was started at dawn, but no one reported it until the end of the morning.
According to Eunuch Liu, everyone was busy putting out the fire and didn't pay attention. But how could such a big thing be so careless? Even if they were all putting out the fire, what were the Imperial Guards doing? Such a big fire, even if you are blind, you can feel the heat.
Also, this fire is very particular. It is separated by a wall. On one side, there are fires on all sides, raging and violent. On the other side, there is nothing wrong. The wall is not blackened. Can't a fool see that there is a problem?
However, Jiang Fan didn't seem to care much and casually told Zhao Gao that in order to prevent further hidden troubles, he must complete the takeover of Liyang Palace today.
Zhao Gao then said: "Manager Liu is still in a hurry, but I'm keeping an eye on them and they will definitely leave before night."
Jiang Fan nodded, told Zhao Gao to report to him after receiving it, and then went back to catch up on his sleep.
Although the fire destroyed Liyang Palace, it also forced Eunuch Liu and others to complete the delivery in a hurry one day ahead of schedule.
Zhao Gao took care of everything, while a stupid guy watched from the side.
It was impossible to expect Gao Rong to help, as he didn't even have any personal soldiers.
However, Zhao Gao has many godsons and grandchildren. Eunuch No. 100, Gong E, has been busy with work and has basically completed the work before it is time to turn on the lamp.
It wasn't until all the Emperor's people left that Jiang Fan arrived. Gao Rong happened to take the list, and when he saw Jiang Fan coming, he turned around and left.
Jiang Fan couldn't help but shouted: "Hey! General Gao, stay! How are you doing with your family?"
Gao Rong felt disgusted in his heart. Who asked you to do this? You and Jieyu have finally spent a few days in peace. Why do you insist on provoking the Supreme Emperor?
I feel unhappy, and my attitude is also not good.
She glanced at him indifferently and said, "I've met the prince and said goodbye."
Damn it? Your greeting goes straight from beginning to end.
Jiang Fan was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "I've finished my work as a witness. Go back and tell Jieyu that you can move here whenever you want. If you need anything, tell me."
Gao Rong was as bored as a gourd and nodded perfunctorily before leaving.
Jiang Fan smiled and said: "Brother Gao, the new weapons have been assembled. Meng Yi will go there tomorrow to give instructions on how to use them. You can make arrangements."
