Late at night, Prince Qi's Residence was on fire!
Gong Dai watched the flames rise. Especially in summer, the fire was unstoppable. It burned down one-fifth of the rooms, including the room where the Royal Sister used to live.
His face was extremely gloomy as he watched the Imperial Army go in and out to put out the fire. He stood at the edge of the fire, his face red and the depths of his eyes red.
"Your Highness!" Lo Qi knelt beside him. "The person who set the fire was caught and killed himself with poison!"
At this moment, Luo Xiaoqi also knelt down. "Reporting! Your Highness, many people have written to impeach you and urge the Emperor to take back your authority over the Imperial Army! Should we intercept them? "
"Reporting — Your Highness! A spy has appeared in the Imperial Army camp and caused internal strife. Should we execute him on the spot?! "
"Reporting! Your Highness, the fire has been dug out. The fire won't spread any further! "
The fire was still raging. Even though they were kneeling there, they found it difficult to breathe, and their faces were burning. Gong Jue's expression remained unchanged. He listened to the reports one after another, and coldly said.
"Order everyone to come here and save this room."
"What about the other rooms?" The prince's study was also on fire. Back then, in order to accompany the princess, the prince had deliberately moved to this corner and did not move away … The study was an important place. Did they not need to save it?
Gong Dai closed his eyes to hide the hostility in them and said coldly.
"Let it burn."
Lo Qi was nudged by Xiaoqi and stepped forward.
"Your Highness, putting out the fire is not the most important thing right now. There are still many people waiting for your orders!"
Gong Dai glanced at them.
"What did you just say?"
Everyone wanted to faint!
But they had no choice but to grit their teeth and repeat it. Gong Dai's gaze moved away from the room where the Royal Sister used to live and fell on them.
"This prince knows the person who set the fire. There's no need to investigate. There's also no need to stop those who impeach this prince. Let them impeach. If possible, let our people impeach this prince as well. As for the Imperial Army, this prince has his own arrangements. There's no need to worry. "
Lo Qi did not understand why their own people were also impeaching the prince.
But he did not ask. He only gnashed his teeth and said, "Those impeachers usually received a lot of benefits from us, but now they changed sides!"
Gong Dai was silent....... This was within his expectations..... After all, except for his trusted officials, he had only used money to rope in the court officials..
Because he had sworn that he would not become emperor, then it would be fine if he did not clash with the Crown Prince. Once he broke off relations with the Crown Prince, would those people help the future emperor or a prince who had sworn not to become emperor? Anyone could tell the difference between the pros and cons.
"Your Highness, since the Crown Prince is already bullying us, how should we fight back?"
According to the thoughts of the servants and the prince's usual style, he felt that if the prince made a move, the Crown Prince would definitely lose miserably!
Unexpectedly, Gong Jue just shook his head.
"Wait a little longer."
"Wait for what?" Someone asked subconsciously.
Gong Dai watched as the fire gradually died down. His expression softened.
Wait for the Emperor's decision … He was afraid that if he stayed in the capital, he would wash the land with blood.
Seeing that Gong Dai did not move, they all felt aggrieved.
Lo Qi frowned. "I don't know why the Crown Prince suddenly went crazy! He has been causing trouble for us recently. A few days ago, the riot in Zhao Prison must have had something to do with the Crown Prince! What does he want to do? "
"That's right! He also took all the money from the bank. Because of this, many large orders were taken away. The bank suffered a great loss! "
Little Qi said angrily.
Gong Dai actually smiled with a trace of pride in his eyes.
"You're right."
"Hm?"
"Hm?!"
"He really has gone crazy."
While Gong Dai was busy putting out the fire, the people in the palace were also anxious.
The ground was covered with tossed memorials and documents. The Emperor sat on the dragon throne with his hands on his forehead. He was indescribably tired.
Chang Xi hurriedly drove out all the palace servants who were kneeling down below and advised earnestly and earnestly.
"Your Majesty, your health is more important …"
"Haha …" Emperor Cheng, who was rubbing his head, let out a deep laugh. It echoed in the hall in the middle of the night, making one's hair stand on end.
"Gong Che is really amazing when he doesn't make a move …" Emperor Cheng sneered. "He unscrupulously provoked Gong Dai. First, he knew that Gong Dai would listen to Mo 'er and not counterattack. Second, even if he counterattacked, Gong Che would be happy to fight with Gong Dai. Good! Very good, a mountain can't have two tigers. It's natural for them to fight! "
Chang Xi's old face wrinkled. "Your Majesty … the two princes … will know what to do …"
"Know what to do?" Emperor Cheng's voice suddenly rose. "Gong Che's withdrawal of funds has already made the people panic. The Imperial Army is fighting among themselves. Tonight, the Wangfu is on fire! What's the next step? I'm afraid they're going to fight openly?! "
At this time, a little eunuch came to deliver memorials overnight. Chang Xi glanced at them and didn't want to hand them over. But Emperor Cheng had already snatched them and read several of them. He was so angry that his face turned blue and his laughter became colder.
"Good … good! There are so many impeachment documents. I'm afraid there will be more tomorrow morning! This is already a fight! "
Chang Xi held the booklet in his hand as if he was holding a hot potato. The two princes quarreled like fire and water. The entire Zhaoyang Hall was like adding oil to a raging fire, about to burn at any moment.
At this time, he missed the Princess very much. If only the Princess was here. If she was here, this kind of thing would absolutely not happen!
At this time, Emperor Cheng also calmed down a little after throwing a tantrum.
He really couldn't intervene in this matter. Now, Gong Che was only looking for Gong Dai to vent his anger. If he intervened, the situation would only be worse.
It was even more impossible to stop Gong Dai from fighting back. Once he suppressed Gong Dai too much and Gong Dai resisted, it would be a fight to the death.
He still remembered Gong Dai's words to him: Imperial Father, you should thank Royal Sister. Without her, the entire imperial family would be my enemy.
Now, as long as he thought of this sentence, he felt a chill down his spine. He was afraid that Gong Dai would also go crazy.
"Your Majesty … what should we do now?"
Chang Xi felt that this matter must be resolved before Prince Qi counterattacked.
After a long while, Emperor Cheng faintly said.
"Didn't Gong Dai say that he's going to build the highway? Let him go! "
"But …" Chang Xi was at a loss. But don't you still want Prince Qi to get married as soon as possible? Once he goes out of the country, the sky is high and the sea is wide, difficult to control.
"What else can we do …"
After Emperor Cheng said this, he seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
In his heart, he knew very well that Gong Jue hadn't fought back until now because he had refused Gong Jue's request to leave the capital a few days ago. But now, the situation forced Gong Jue to make a concession … he was afraid that this was exactly what Gong Jue wanted.
