Empress Xu's calmness made everyone feel relieved.

The wedding continued, with drums and music, and joyfulness.

However, the Forbidden City was very different. The smoke was rolling, and countless personal troops stepped up their garrisons. The eunuchs carried buckets to put out the fire. Some of the eunuchs gathered near Wu Pavilion at this time. The fire here had just been extinguished, but another place had a fire. Therefore, many people hurried to another fire point.

Zheng He and several eunuchs gradually calmed down, and everyone was not in a hurry to rush to the next fire point. In addition to Zheng He, the four father-in-laws in the lead also included Wang An, Wang Yanzhi and Tuotuo.

Wang An was the eunuch of the Silijian, responsible for the affairs of the factory and in charge of documents. Although the Silijian was not as powerful as later generations at this time, the Silijian was still the leader of the twenty-four prisons, and the eunuch was of high status. Wang An was an old eunuch of the Taizu Dynasty. After several dynasties, he had a high status in the inner court. No matter who was in power, he would inevitably call him ancestors when he saw him.

Wang An is over 60 years old and has poor health. He came here panting. Now his old face is still red. After seeing the fire scene, his sparse eyebrows frowned: "I'm afraid there is something strange about this. Do you guys smell the smell of tinder oil? This is obviously someone deliberately set fire. The palace has extremely strict ban on tinder oil. In addition to the warehouse in the Imperial Horse Prison, there are some spares in Shangshenjian. Come and order people to go to the Imperial Horse Prison Monk to check to see if tinder oil and other items have been lost. Recently, the eunuchs in the two prisons have abnormal expressions and they will report them."

Wang An's words aroused Wang Yanzhi's dissatisfaction. Wang Yanzhi was an old man from the Prince's Mansion of Peking. Like Zheng He, they were Zhu Di's confidant and in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor. He promoted the soldiers and horses of the Warriors' camp in the Great Inner. Wang An's words inevitably made Wang Yanzhi think that Wang An was suspected of deliberately provoking the Royal Horse Supervisor.

Wang Yanzhi smiled and said, "In our opinion, this tinea oil must be from Shangshenjian. Besides, I don't know who the thief is now. I'm afraid that someone will set fire to disturb the fire. Who knows what these people will do when they become crazy? So the most urgent thing is to step up the garrison. There is no need to worry about settlement in advance. Eunuch Zheng, do you think so?"

Zheng He just smiled. Speaking of which, he and Wang Yanzhi both came from Peking after all, and had a deeper relationship, but he was unwilling to offend Wang An, so he said ambiguously: "Neither of these things should be delayed."

As for the other eunuch Tutuo, he was a Mongolian man who was captured by Zhu Di and castrated into a eunuch. He was half-familiar with Chinese language, so he was always taciturn and did not deal with others. He was also a figure in the Imperial Horse Prison, but Wang Yanzhi was the eunuch in charge of seals and the eunuch in the admiral.

The four of them were talking, but someone quickly came over and said, "Fourth father-in-law, Your Majesty has arrived at the Western Warehouse. Please come in and see you quickly."

The four of them did not dare to neglect, and each had their own worries. They rushed to the warm room.

In fact, the sudden fire in the palace was like a storm for these four father-in-laws. If such a big thing happens suddenly, then something big will definitely happen. Although the four of them are confident that they have not participated in this matter, the matter in the palace cannot be just mentioned without any relations with you. If you are not careful, the entire palace may have to be reshuffled. No one will know whose power will be a little more serious tomorrow, or will suddenly end up with a place where death is not burial.

So everyone was a little uneasy.

In the warm pavilion, Zhu Di acted extremely calm. He sat high on the imperial chair, with his feet covered with court ministers kneeling in a crowd of storms, and his two princes. After the incident happened, everyone had a premonition that they had a bad impression and had already obediently waited for the storm.

The four father-in-law saluted together and said, "Long live the words."

Zhu Di did not let them get up, but just kept silent.

As the head of the eunuch, Wang An naturally did not dare to neglect at this time. He quickly told the location of the fire, the size of the fire, and the process of extinguishing the fire, and finally said: "There were fires in several places one after another, and there were tincture oil and other things in the places where the fire broke out. I thought that this matter must have been done intentionally, and this must be the cause of the rebellion. I have asked the guards to strengthen the garrison and the guards in the horses. The troops under the control of the horses have also been strengthened. As for how to investigate next, I should beg the Holy Tribunal. As for the seals of the ritual supervisor, such rebellion appeared in the palace, which is not unrelated to my daily negligence. I have died and beg Your Majesty to punish you."

Wang Yanzhi from the Imperial Horse Prison also hurriedly said: "I am responsible for the garrison in the palace and cannot be investigated in advance. When the incident happened, I was in a hurry and I deserved to die."

The two of them apologized, and the others could not remain indifferent. Zheng He and Tuotuo said in unison: "I will die."

Zhu Di then said lightly: "Is anyone injured?"

Wang Andao: "Two little eunuchs were burned, but their injuries were not serious. There was also a Yulin Guard's captain who was anxious to put out the fire and was also injured. He has been sent for treatment now."

Zhu Dihe nodded and said, "I need to reward you all, especially the captain, do you understand?"

“Yes, yes…”

Zhu Di's performance was still calm. He said slowly: "Why is the sudden fire in the palace? This is a loss of virtue. If it is a natural disaster, it would be fine, but if it catches fire, it is **. I think it is because I don't cultivate virtue and have resentment on my daily life. When the resentment reaches a certain level, I will naturally have evil thoughts and cause such a big thing. This matter has nothing to do with me."

When everyone heard this, they felt cold. Xie Jin and other scholars, lecturers and attendants kowtowed: "My ministers die, your majesty will be wise and kind to the world. Even if it is wrong, it is wrong because of the misunderstanding. If you are not careful, the misunderstanding is not the matter of the king. You always have occasional omissions in promoting your majesty's virtues and politics, which is why this is the case."

Everyone scrambled to admit their mistakes, and the entire warm room was filled with self-examination voices.

Zhu Di's expression was still not visible on his face, and he looked like he was smiling, his eyes fell on the prince Zhu Gaochi, and he said, "Crown Prince, you are the crown prince, what do you think?"

Zhu Gaochi was both heartbroken, afraid that this matter would be involved in him, so he replied with a thorn in his mouth: "My son thought that this was probably the cause of the rioters. Although the father was kind to all sides, there were always people who had delusions and fanned the flames, which was natural. Therefore...My son thought..."

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Crown Prince, don't panic when you encounter something, why are you panic? Look at me? Look at your hesitant look, the crown prince shouldn't be like this."

Zhu Gaochi's face turned red, and he had to laugh and said, "My father's teachings, my son remember them."

Zhu Di suddenly slapped the table and said coldly: "But you can't be indifferent. The prince said something very well. There are always people who are foolish, haha... Since that's the case, then I'll see who is foolish. Today, Hao Fenglou is getting married in Japan. The queen went to watch the ceremony in person. Look, the queen had just left, and this happened. It can be seen that these traitors are so rampant. But they just jumped into clowns and wanted to block the car. Is it so easy? The person came and sent an order to go to Hao's mansion immediately and told Empress Xu that the palace was dangerous and ordered her to stay in Hao's mansion temporarily. When I quelled the traitors, I'll go to pick her up in person. Don't let women be afraid of men's affairs. As for you, don't rush to leave the palace for the time being, just accompany me here."

No one dared to raise any objection at this time, just said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhu Di's face was indifferent and continued, "Take this opportunity, just hold a court discussion and discuss state affairs together. If something big happens, you can't be idle. Then I will pass the imperial edict. All the officials above the fifth rank in the capital will come to the palace and attend the palace."

There was doubt on the faces of countless people. What is your Majesty’s intention? What is he going to do?

But in the current atmosphere, no one dared to express their opinions, and someone immediately went to convey the order.

Zhu Di leaned against the chair, as if no one was around, rubbing his temples with a headache. Everyone else knelt down, and no one dared to make a sound.

Fortunately, the palace gradually stabilized, and countless guards filled the Forbidden City, even the air was a little more murderous.

Immediately afterwards, the oral order was passed to Hao's mansion, and a eunuch personally passed the emperor's words, which was nothing more than that Empress Xu would return to the palace tomorrow and the Hao family would make proper arrangements.

The Hao family dared not neglect, and the wedding continued.

It was another decree that made everyone confused.

Your Majesty summoned everyone to the palace to serve. There are as many as a thousand civil and military officials of the fifth rank and above in the capital. Excluding some people who are really unable to leave like Hao Fenglou and Hao's father, there are at least more than 800 people. So many people have entered the palace. What is this?

When the news came from Honglu Temple, when the news came, King Ning Zhu Quan and Prince Zhu Panyi were shocked and suspicious. Zhu Quan narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you want to do in Zhu Di? Could it be that he knows this? No, no, it is not so. He is not a clever eye or a gentle ear, and he has no help. Even if he knows, he will definitely not be so fast. Perhaps this is just his bluff and wants to scare people, but should the father enter the palace? Why not just say that he is sick and ignore it for the time being, no...

…No… If this happens, he will make him suspicious. He has always been very suspicious. No, it is absolutely impossible. You should go there. Don’t be afraid. I am a vassal king. There is no iron proof. He can’t move us at all. When he finds the iron proof, all the people will start to attack tonight, and he has become a prisoner. You go down and tell them to quickly prepare the carriages and horses. The father and you will enter the palace together. By the way, let someone find out what the Gu King and the others have to do."

Zhu Panyan nodded quickly and said, "I understand, my son."
