On the other side, Qu Yuan got up early in the morning, and after getting the news of the fire outside the city and the rumors in the city, he immediately realized that it was not good, and then he didn't even eat breakfast, so he went straight to the palace.

When he arrived outside the palace, Qu Yuan got out of the carriage and saw Ling Yin Zhaoju's carriage rushing to the outside of the palace, seeing this, Qu Yuan immediately walked forward, and after Zhaoju got off the car, he saluted and said: "I've seen Ling Yin!" ”

"The left disciple is also here." After Zhao Ju returned the salute, he asked, "Zuo Tu is here for rumors and fires. ”

"Not bad." Qu Yuan nodded and asked, "Ling Yin is also here for this matter." ”

"Exactly." Zhao Ju nodded and said: "The king is praying for the blessing of the country in the Black Emperor Temple, and at this time, a fire broke out in the country, and the people's hearts were unstable and rumors spread everywhere. Although Ju had just sent someone to ask the officials of the place where the fire broke out to organize the people to put out the fire, he was still uneasy in his heart, so he wanted to enter the palace to discuss a charter with everyone to quickly extinguish the fire and quell the rumors in the city. ”

When Qu Yuan heard this, his heart was relieved, the reason why he hurriedly entered the palace was precisely because of the same concern.

If it is an ordinary natural disaster, even if the weather is dry, it is enough for local officials to organize people to fight fires.

However, he worries that this time the fire was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. If it is really a man-made disaster, it may be difficult for local officials and ordinary people to extinguish the fire.

However, now that Yin Zhaoju and he hope to extinguish the fire quickly, the biggest difficulty in rescuing the fire is gone.

Thinking about it, Qu Yuan smiled lightly: "The country has ordered Yin to preside over the overall situation, and I think that a fire will be extinguished soon." ”

Zhao Ju smiled knowingly when he heard this: "As long as you and my ministers work together, a mere fire is nothing." Zuo disciple, you and I will enter the palace together to meet the prince. ”

"Good."

In the palace.

After entering the main hall, the two looked at the empty hall and were stunned at the same time.

The prince's mansion is the closest to the palace, and it stands to reason that the prince should have come earlier than the two, but now there is no prince in the hall except for the palace messenger.

Seeing this, Zhao Ju glanced at the waiter closest to him and asked, "Where is the prince?" ”

A waiter immediately stepped forward and responded: "Returning to Ling Yin, today is not a dynasty, it is because the prince has not entered the palace." ”

When Zhao Ju Qu Yuan heard this, he frowned at the same time, there was such a big incident in the country, and the crown prince did not enter the palace to discuss it.

After a pause, Zhao Ju said in a calm tone: "Quick, immediately send someone to the prince's mansion to invite the prince into the palace to discuss matters, just say that this order Yin and Zuo Tu..."

As he spoke, Zhao Ju saw the figure of Zhu Guo Tang Yu outside the hall, so he continued: "There is also Zhu Guo, please invite the prince into the palace to discuss matters." ”

"No."

After the waiter left, Zhao Ju Qu Yuan said hello to Tang Yu, and then the three of them waited for a while, but they didn't see other ministers coming, and Zhao Ju ordered again: "Come here, please Sima Jingque and Zuo Yin Zhaochang come to discuss the matter." ”

"No."

On the other side, the Prince's Mansion.

After the prince heard the report of the palace attendants, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "Everyone says that Ling Yin Zuo's disciple Zhu Guo is the world-famous virtuous of my Chu country, but when I look at it today, I think it is an exaggeration."

At that time, all countries came to Chu to spread rumors, and the people below talked about it, and the ministers jointly persecuted it.

But what about the Father! In the face of this kind of scene, his face still did not change, he ate when he should eat, slept when he should sleep, and even sang and danced in the palace, which stabilized the ministers.

But now, there are just a few rumors in the city, so that Yin Zhuguo and Zuo Yin hurriedly get together to discuss a way, and let Gu also go.

Tsk... What is the matter of a small fire and a few rumors, as long as the fire is extinguished, the problem of rumors will be solved.

Ling Yin and the others did not have the stability of their father at all, and people said, I am the king of Chu and the ministers, and this is thriving.

Hmph~~ In my opinion, the state of Chu can have its present moment, all of which is the credit of his father, which made Yin Zuo's disciples vain. ”

The crown prince shook his head, and in his heart he despised the three of Zhaoju, Qu Yuan, and Tang Yu, and then said to the messenger who came to invite: "You go back and tell Ling Yin and them, just say that the rumors in the city and the fire outside the city are already known, and Gu has already sent people to urge the officials in the place where the disaster occurred."

You go back and tell Ling Yin that if there is a fire, let the local officials organize the people to put out the fire, and the rumors in the city will subside as soon as the fire is extinguished. ”

"No."

In the palace, the attendant of the summons replied: "Ling Yin, the crown prince······ Let Ling Yin Zhuguo and Zuo Tu go back with confidence, and leave it to the officials below to deal with it at this time. ”

When the three of them heard the waiter's return, they were stunned at the same time, revealing a look of disbelief.

Then, the corners of Zhao Ju's mouth twitched, then he stepped forward and kicked the messenger down, then looked at the waiter's eyes and glared, and said angrily: "Bastard, you were really ordered to go to the prince's mansion, you really saw the prince, what you said just now is really the prince's words, you dare to have half a lie, this order Yin can kill you now." ”

"Ling Yin spares his life~~" After the waiter was kicked, seeing that Ling Yin Zhaoju was furious, he immediately got up from the ground in a hurry, and then said with a crying voice: "Ling Yin, those words just now were really brought to Ling Yin by the prince, and the minister didn't dare to say half a lie." ”

After speaking, the waiter paused at this Zhao Ju again and again.

"Knock knock..." After a few knocks, the waiter had already broken his forehead, and blood was pouring to the ground.

Seeing this, although Zhao Ju had already believed in the waiter in his heart, he was even more annoyed.

"Nonsense, it's so big..." Before Zhao Ju finished speaking, he felt that his sleeves were being pulled, and he turned his head to look, but saw Qu Yuan looking outside the palace.

"Ling Yin, Sima and Zuo Yin are here."

When Zhao Ju heard this, he immediately looked outside the hall, and sure enough, the figures of Jing Que and Zhao Chang had already appeared in the distance.

Seeing this, Zhao Ju immediately closed his mouth, then frowned and looked at the waiter and said, "If you go to the Prince's Mansion again, you will say that Ben Ling Yin invited him to discuss the matter, and let him come quickly." ”

"No." When the waiter heard this, his heart was overjoyed, and he didn't even have time to deal with the blood on his forehead, so he turned around and wanted to run.

However, before he stepped out, he heard another voice: "Slow." ”

As soon as Zhao Ju heard that Qu Yuan stopped the waiter, he immediately looked at Qu Yuan and asked, "Zuo disciple, do you have any other orders?" ”

Hearing this, Qu Yuan arched his hand and said: "Ling Yin, since the waiter has already gone to the prince's mansion to invite the prince just now, then I am afraid that it will be the same result if I go again, so I think that it is difficult for the waiter to invite the prince, so I should let the state marquis invite it, so that it can be made clear." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Ju was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

The prince didn't take the initiative to enter the palace to discuss the news before, and even if he sent someone to invite him just now, he failed to invite the prince, which only shows one problem, that is, the prince didn't realize the seriousness of this matter at all.

Therefore, sending a waiter to force the prince will only make the prince dissatisfied with them in his heart.

And let the state marquis go to invite otherwise, the state marquis, as the prince's confidant, is also a sensible person, let him invite the prince, he will definitely be able to explain things clearly, and let the prince quickly enter the palace to discuss matters.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ju immediately nodded and said, "Thank you Zuo Tu for reminding him." ”

After that, Zhao Ju said to the waiter again: "Quick, go to the state marquis's mansion and inform the state marquis of the fire outside the city." ”

"No." The waiter answered loudly, then waited for a breath, and saw that Qu Yuan and Tang Mo did not open their mouths to stop them, so they hurriedly ran away.
