"Who do you think did it?"
Qianqing Palace.
In the Nuan Pavilion, many concubines and maids came here, making the whole hall crowded and everyone looked panicked.
The queen mothers of the two palaces also came here, and they all looked uneasy.
No one said a word, and no one dared to act at will. Only eunuchs from various palaces and yamen were walking through in an endless stream carrying water.
Zhu Yijun carried the emperor's eldest son and came outside Nuan Pavilion. He looked at Kunning Palace, which was half dark outside, and asked Yan Fu, the young eunuch of Kunning Palace who was kneeling on the ground.
Yan Fu said with a tearful face: "I dare not hide this from the emperor. A great hero named Tang Yuanliang asked me to do this. He said that he was Master Shen's man and that Master Shen asked me to do this!"
"They asked the slaves to set a fire in Kunning Palace, but before setting the fire, they had to hide the emperor's eldest son in a place in the palace that was not easy to burn. Then they asked Gu Fengxuan, who was about to enter the palace, to rescue him. They also asked the slaves to I have prepared a good deal for Eunuch Sun in advance and asked him, Gu Fengxuan, to serve the eldest son of the emperor on the grounds that he can read and write and can teach the eldest son to study."
"It's just that the slave didn't expect that the emperor's eldest son was hidden by the slave, but he came to Qianqing Palace early."
Zhu Yijun frowned after hearing this.
"What a strategy. This is to make yourself suspicious of Shen Shixing!"
Then, Zhu Yijun looked at Gu Fengxuan: "Why do you say Sun Bin is a traitor?"
"He doesn't allow me to enter the palace and be loyal to His Majesty. He is a traitor!"
Gu Fengxuan said.
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun asked again: "How did you bring your knife in?"
Gu Fengxuan said: "They didn't check carefully. They just touched my body, not my sleeves."
"Your Majesty, all the imperial guards on duty today have been captured! But they only admit that they were derelict in their duties and were not instigated by others."
Zhang Jing reminded him from the side.
Zhu Yijun returned the eldest son of the emperor who had stopped crying to the queen, then sat on the couch, rubbed his forehead, and ordered: "Go and call Master Shen."
"According to the order!"
…
At this time, Shen Shixing of the Imperial Palace and other officials and other officials were already waiting outside the Qianqing Palace.
Naturally, they also saw the fire in Kunning Palace, and they were all eager to know the safety of the emperor's heir.
Shen Shixing had slight beads of sweat on his forehead, and his hands were tightly clenched.
When Zhang Jing came, Shen Shixing knelt on the ground directly.
"Your Majesty, Master Xuan Shen has an audience!"
Zhang Jing called out at this time.
After hearing this, Shen Shixing breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up and said yes. When he and Zhang Jing entered the hall, he hurriedly asked: "Mr. Factory, is there something wrong with Your Highness and the Empress?"
"Don't worry, Master Shen. I'm fine, and so is my wife."
"There is a secret message system in the palace. Just this morning in Kunning Palace, someone changed the water in the water tank into kerosene. Someone in the palace told the secret to the ancestors, and the ancestors also asked someone to tell the emperor and the emperor in advance. The empress invited me out."
After Zhang Jing said that, he glanced at Shen Shixing, but saw that Shen Shixing was calm and composed, without showing any surprise.
Shen Shixing only said at this moment: "This is great! As long as most of the palace people are good, even if some palace people have bad intentions, it will be difficult for them to do treasonous things."
"Yuan Fu also guessed that this might be the mischief of a palace official with bad intentions?"
Zhang Jing asked Shen Shixing.
Shen Shixing suddenly trembled after hearing this.
"Yuanfu, why do you think they decided to burn down the middle palace instead of directly attacking Ziweixing like a temple in the world?"
At this moment, Zhang Jing asked Shen Shixing again.
Shen Shixing was startled and frowned slightly.
Zhang Jing's words made his back feel even more chilly.
"His Majesty!"
Suddenly, Shen Shixing arrived in front of the emperor and did not even dare to look at Zhu Yijun's head.
Zhu Yijun said calmly: "Now that master is here, let's listen to what they say?"
After Zhu Yijun said it, he asked Gu Fengxuan and Yan Fu to say it again.
After hearing this, Shen Shixing knelt on the ground and clasped his hands in front of his forehead: "Your Majesty knows clearly that if I deliberately put an eunuch into the palace as an spy to flatter the emperor and consolidate his power, I would never ask Your Majesty to ban the eunuch first. , and would not first suggest to Eunuch Zhang that scholars should not be allowed to enter the palace as slaves, so I am really being unjust!"
"Of course I believe you."
"Get up."
"Please sit down!"
Zhu Yijun grinned, and then looked at Yan Fu, Gu Fengxuan and others with a stern face: "What is the origin of that hero named Tang Yuanliang?"
Yan Fu replied at this time: "I don't know, I only know that he is Master Shen's man."
"Don't emphasize to me that he is Master Shen!"
Zhu Yijun suddenly shouted, then grinned and sneered: "Do you think I'm really that easy to divorce?"
"What about his whereabouts? Do you know?"
Zhu Yijun asked.
Yan Fu said: "I don't know this."
"I don't know this or that, so you dare to do things for him?"
Zhu Yijun looked at Yan Fu and asked.
Yan Fu hurriedly bowed to the ground: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The main reason is that they didn't let the slaves harm the young master and the empress. They just asked the slaves to set fire to them."
"And you?"
"Why are not you talking?"
Zhu Yijun asked Gu Fengxuan again at this time.
Gu Fengxuan said: "I don't know where Tang Daxia comes from, let alone where he lives."
Zhu Yijun sneered, and then ordered Zhang Jing: "Take him to the imperial prison and ask questions!"
"According to the order!"
Zhang Jing then added: "Your Majesty, I just learned about a secret report from the factory guard. When Yang Youren, the imperial censor, was chatting with several civil servants, he mentioned that something big would happen recently. He seemed to know something. "
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun said: "Then arrest him first! Ask him what big deal he is talking about."
"According to the order!"
After Zhang Jing left, Shen Shixing was the only one left beside Zhu Yijun.
Zhu Yijun stared at Shen Shixing for a long time without speaking.
There was only the sound of dripping water, accompanied by the sound of Shen Shixing's sweat beads falling to the ground.
However, Zhu Yijun was not observing Shen Shixing at this time, he was observing himself.
He knows that it is difficult to change the inertia of a civilization, and although he is a time traveler, he is not really as smart or courageous as the ancients such as Shen Shixing.
Zhu Yijun now needs to ask himself how determined he is to go against the current.
Suddenly, Zhu Yijun looked at Shen Shixing and asked: "Master Shen, do you think they burned Kunning Palace instead of Qianqing Palace? Why did the eldest son of the emperor provoke them?"
Shen Shixing stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, this is their cleverness. If it is to burn down the Qing Palace, it is even more unlikely to be done by me. They also know my loyalty."
Zhu Yijun laughed after hearing this and pointed at Shen Shixing: "That makes sense!"
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the truth of this matter may not be found, or the truth may not be important anymore."
Shen Shixing smiled.
Zhu Yijun nodded and asked again: "Tell me, if I hadn't become suspicious of you because of this matter and still protected you, would they have burned the Qing Palace to death?"
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Shen Shixing suddenly burst into tears, and then knelt down again: "I beg for the bones!"
"What kind of bones are you begging for?!"
"Does burning the middle palace scare you?"
"You haven't let me fall into the water yet, and you haven't burned the Qing Palace to death yet!"
Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, and then he asked Shen Shixing angrily.
