Xiao Yanqi and Xiao Yanlong were reprimanded by Emperor Jingrui for a long time, but they were trembling and did not say the words.
"Your Majesty, King Jing is here!"
"pass!"
Emperor Jingrui sat back in his seat.
Xiao Yanjing walked in and saw Xiao Yanqi and Xiao Yanlong were also in the imperial study. They stood silently by the side, looking at their faces as if they had been taught a lesson.
"My son kowtows to my father!"
Xiao Yanqi came forward to pay homage in armor.
Xiao Yanjing was in charge of the city defense battalion to protect the comfort of the capital, and he had to wear armor on weekdays.
"Get up!"
Emperor Jingrui asked Xiao Yanjing to get up.
"I don't know why the emperor asked his son to come here?"
"The Southern Chu Mission is leaving, and I decided to let you escort them!" Emperor Jingrui told Xiao Yanjing what he thought, and Xiao Yanjing never expected that he would escort the Southern Chu Mission by himself.
"How can you?"
"Your servant should do his best!"
Xiao Yanjing did not refuse.
"Very well, there is one more thing. I am going to Nanchu and pass Yanling Pass. You pass on the decree on my behalf. Li Qian has made meritorious deeds in defending against the enemy and repelling the Nanchu navy. He is specially appointed as the Marquis of Zhengnan!"
Emperor Jingrui said.
Zhengnanhou?
Once these words came out, the three brothers couldn't help being shocked. The Li family now has a Duke Xin. If there is another Marquis Zheng Nan, the power of the Li family will become even bigger.
"Follow the order!"
Xiao Yanjing didn't question it, since Emperor Jingrui said so, he must have his own reasons.
"Okay, let's all go back!"
Emperor Jingrui waved his hand and told the three to leave.
Come out of the Imperial Study Room.
"Third brother!"
"His Royal Highness!"
Xiao Yanjing stopped.
"It's been a while since you've been in the capital, we may not have met and chatted for a long time, if you have time, come to my residence tonight, let's have a drink!"
Xiao Yanqi said with a smile.
Xiao Yanjing is dispensable to Xiao Yanqi, Xiao Yanjing's mother is the princess of Beiyan, Xiao Yanjing is not from the Xiao family in Xiao Yanqi's eyes.
They are the orthodox blood of the Xiao family.
However, Xiao Yanjing commanded the city defense battalion, which is not a small force. If Xiao Yanjing is brought over, it will also be a blow to Xiao Yanlong.
"I still have things to do at night so I won't bother His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Xiao Yanjing resolutely rejected Xiao Yanqi, what Xiao Yanqi meant, Xiao Yanjing knew it very well in his heart, so he rushed to him? Said that he came to the city defense camp behind him.
Xiao Yanjing turned and left.
"I don't know how to flatter you!"
Xiao Yanqi snorted coldly.
Zhao Ling'an from Zhenbeihou's Mansion came with a few boxes of things. After all, Han Ce was their savior, and they had to express it.
"Princess, you are here, why bring such gifts!"
Lin Nianrou looked at the gift Zhao Lingan brought and said.
"These are all from my Nanchu. Although they are not expensive, they can also be used to express our feelings. This time, our Nanchu mission is thanks to Lord Hou. Otherwise, we might have died in Fengxiang County."
Zhao Lingan sat down beside Lin Nianrou and said gratefully.
"That would be too little as a reward!"
Han Ce looked at the treasure in front of him and said.
"Then why don't I give myself to you!" Zhao Ling'an said angrily. It was already very difficult for him to produce such things, and Han Ce even despised them.
"Don't, you just give it to me for free, and I don't want it."
Han Ce waved his hand.
"get out!"
Zhao Lingan said bluntly.
"Boom¡ª¡ª"
Just as Zhao Lingan finished speaking, there was a loud bang, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, which was deafening.
"what happened?"
"How could there be a bolt from the blue?"
The people in the capital looked around to see what happened.
"Look? God is angry!"
Han Ce pointed to the sky and said calmly.
"It can't be so evil, can it?" Zhao Ling'an also said with some fear. She is not Han Ce, so she naturally believes in those ghosts and gods.As the saying goes, there is a god when you raise your head three feet, and the sky is watching when people are doing it.
"My Lord!"
Mu Hanfeng came in from the outside.
"What's wrong?"
"The Royal Ancestral Temple was bombed!" Mu Hanfeng said lightly.
The ancestral temple was bombed?
Han Ce frowned, this is a big deal, the ancestral temple is the place where the tablets of the ancestors of the Liang royal family are enshrined, how could it be bombed.
"How's it going?"
"The city defense battalion rushed over, but I'm afraid King Jing will be punished this time!" Mu Hanfeng said. The city defense battalion guarded the capital, and the ancestral temple was bombed. The city defense battalion was duty-bound
Prince's Mansion.
"The ancestral temple was bombed, do you know who did it?" Xiao Yanqi asked the people beside him.
"have no idea!"
The guard shook his head, how could he know this.
"My father just praised King Jing this morning, but I didn't expect that the ancestral temple was blown up this afternoon. King Jing is really pitiful!"
Xiao Yanqi said with a sneer, with a bit of schadenfreude in his words.
The ancestral temple was bombed.
Xiao Yanjing immediately entered the palace to plead guilty.
"What ancestral temple was bombed? What is your city defense battalion doing?" Emperor Jingrui asked Xiao Yanjing. He handed over the city defense battalion to Xiao Yanjing to let Xiao Yanjing be responsible for the security of the capital and protect the ancestral temple. Unexpectedly, someone bombed him ancestral temple.
"It's my son who was negligent for a while, please forgive me!"
"Convict? Do you think you can escape by saying this? Of course I will convict, and I give you three days to find the murderer for me. If not, don't blame me for being ungrateful! Go back to Beiliang City."
Emperor Jingrui gave Xiao Yanjing an order.
"Follow the order!"
Xiao Yanjing got up and left the Imperial Study Room.
Coming to the place of the ancestral temple, the main hall of the ancestral temple is not a big deal, but half of the side hall has collapsed.
"Any clues?"
"It's black powder!"
One person took Xiao Yanjing to the place where the wall collapsed, pointed to the traces of burning on the ground, picked up the soil, and as long as he smelled it carefully, he could smell the smell of black powder.
"Gunpowder is something that is banned by the imperial court. How could it appear here?"
Xiao Yanjing frowned and asked.
Gunpowder is used in wars, so the imperial court has a decree prohibiting it, and folks are not allowed to make gunpowder privately. Once discovered, it is a serious crime of treason.
Every year, gunpowder is transported to the capital from various places, but these gunpowder will be strictly guarded by the Ministry of Industry, and it is impossible to reveal it.
"Could this matter have something to do with the Ministry of Industry?" The people around him guessed that it must have something to do with the Ministry of Industry if the gunpowder is not specified by ordinary people.
"Things are not that simple!"
Xiao Yanjing said.
"Look around to see if there are any other clues!" Xiao Yanjing ordered everyone to check carefully again.
After searching for a long time, there were not many useful clues. The clues left by the other party were really very few. If it weren't for the residual gunpowder smell of the flame, they might not even be able to find the gunpowder.
"My lord, there are no other clues!"
"Then start with the gunpowder. You go to the Ministry of Industry to say hello and ask them to investigate from the inside. Is there someone who secretly sold the gunpowder?"
Xiao Yanjing asked the people around him to go to the Ministry of Industry to investigate whether the gunpowder was lost.
"good!"
Nod.
night.
"Master Hou, His Royal Highness King Jing is here!"
Han Ce was reading in the study and Mu Hanfeng walked in. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
