A few days later, in Seoul, the parliamentary government.

"No...... Oh no! ”

When Li Ji, Huang Hee, Yoo Sang-min and other high-ranking officials of the parliamentary government were discussing the affairs reported by the various yamen of the Korean state in the conference hall, an official rushed over panting, and without caring about any etiquette, he went straight into the council hall and reported to Li Ji and the others in a panic, "The escort team from Hwanghae-do encountered a fire last night, and the casualties are unknown!" ”

"What?" Hearing this, Li Ji, Huang Xi and the others were taken aback, and then looked at each other.

They naturally knew that the escort team in the mouth of the official who came to report was referring to the Ming army who sent the survivors of Gyeongbokgung Palace to Seoul, and they never expected that there would be a fire.

"Hurry up and investigate, and report as soon as there is news." Li Ji felt that the matter was serious, and ordered in a deep voice, he would not believe that the fire was an accident, it was obvious that something was wrong.

The look on Huang Xi's face was cloudy, although no one knew how the fire happened now, but he vaguely felt that the matter was related to Li Yao, because he knew that the person who killed the king of Joseon was Li Jin, and obviously did not want the survivors of Gyeongbokgung Palace to come back.

Or...... Huang Xi looked at Li Ji with a gloomy face, or Li Ji sent someone to set the fire and then planted the blame on Li Ji, the future king of Joseon is related to the net worth and life of Li Ji's faction officials, so Li Ji and others must do everything.

"Humph!" Huang Xi looked at Li Ji at the same time, Li Ji also looked at him with a pale face, the eyes of the two met in the air and they snorted coldly, and then looked away, like Huang Xi, Li Ji now suspects that Li Ji did this, and his purpose is naturally to kill people.

I have to say that the trick of arson is really clever, because those Gyeongbokgung Palace survivors are escorted by the elite Ming army, so it is difficult to attack them by force, and now the Ming army has been all over the eight provinces of Korea because of the relief of local people, it is very difficult to mobilize a sufficient number of people without being discovered by the local Ming army, so arson is the best way to kill those survivors, neither need to mobilize too many people but also avoid the Ming army's vigilance.

More than a quarter of an hour later, when Li Ji, Huang Xi and others were talking in the conference hall about the inexplicable fire encountered by the Ming army's Huanghaidao escort troops, another official rushed in in a panic and disregarded etiquette.

"What kind of system is it?" Seeing this, Li Ji frowned slightly, and opened his mouth to scold.

"Leader, the Ming army's escort team from Chungcheong Province also suffered a fire at its residence last night, and the casualties are unknown." The official hurriedly bowed to Li Ji and reported loudly.

Li Ji couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes, two Ming troops encountered fires in the same night, which could not be explained by accident at all, how to explain to Li Yuntian now!

Obviously, the two fires encountered by the Ming army near Seoul were not accidental, someone must have done it deliberately, and since the incident happened on the ground of the Korean state, the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of these parliamentary governments must give Li Yuntian an explanation.

Now, Li Ji can only secretly pray in his heart that no Ming soldiers will die in these two fires, otherwise things will become more troublesome.

Huang Xi had been secretly observing Li Ji's face, and when he noticed the shock of Li Ji's eyes, he couldn't help but gasp in his heart, realizing that this matter had nothing to do with Li Ji.

In other words, it is very likely that this matter was done by Li Yao, who dared to attack the escort troops of the Ming army, and he was too bold, if Li Yuntian knew about it, he would definitely be severely punished.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is urgent, please go to the two places where the fire broke out immediately, and be sure to find out the cause of the fire!" Just when Huang Xi was stunned, Li Ji spoke with a pale face, "Left and right, although I went to see the loyal prince." ”

Huang Xi and Liu Shangmin immediately followed Li Ji out of the council hall and hurried to the Hancheng Office of the Wutang, and the rest of the people discussed one after another and rushed to the two places where the fire was burned, preparing to thoroughly investigate the cause of the fire.

Shouyang Maharaja's Mansion.

Li Ji paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back and expressionless, and what he was most concerned about now was whether the arson was successful, and whether the survivors of Gyeongbokgung Palace were killed in the fire.

"Dajun, I just got the news that the Ming army's two-way escort of the Gyeongbokgung Palace escapees suffered a fire last night, and now the entire parliamentary government is in chaos." A subordinate walked quickly into the door and said urgently.

Because the arson matter was huge, except for Cui Li, even the people in the Shouyang Dajun Mansion didn't know about it, so this subordinate thought that he didn't know.

"What about the casualties?" Hearing this, Li Yao's hanging heart finally let go, and he forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, he now wished that those who posed a threat to him would be wiped out in the fire.

"I heard that the army cordoned off the scene of the fire, so no one knows what is going on inside, and even the people from the local yamen are forbidden to approach." The subordinate shook his head and said.

"Hurry up and investigate, and report as soon as there is news." A look of disappointment suddenly appeared on Li Yao's face, and then he gave an order in a deep voice, he naturally hoped that those survivors of Gyeongbokgung Palace would die in the fire, so that he could get rid of the trouble in his heart.

"May this fire take away all the troubles." After the subordinate left, Li Yao couldn't help but secretly pray in his heart that with the deposition of the prince Li Jue, there was no one more qualified to sit on the throne of the king of Korea than him.

Of course, the premise for Li Yao to become the king of Joseon is to be able to conclude that he has nothing to do with the death of the king of Joseon through Li Yuntian's thorough investigation, otherwise he may be in great trouble.

To be honest, Li Yao felt that Li Yuntian was too serious, and no one among the princes of the Korean Kingdom was closer to the Ming Dynasty than him, so in his opinion, Li Yuntian should help him ascend to the throne of the king of Joseon.

If Li Yuntian didn't want to annex Korea, then Li Yao must have already become the new king of Joseon, as he thought, from the perspective of the Ming Dynasty, there was no one in Korea who was more suitable to succeed to the throne than him.

It's a pity that Li Jin unfortunately met Li Yuntian, which made his dream of becoming the king of Joseon come to naught, and now he has not realized Li Yuntian's true intentions, which is really sad. ，

In fact, Li Yuntian dragged on the thorough investigation of the murder of the king of Korea for such a long time, and Li Yao should have suspected Li Yuntian's motives, but Li Yao could not think of the real purpose of Li Yuntian's personal visit to the Korean state, so he was always led by Li Yuntian's nose.

Daming lecture martial arts hall Seoul Division, meeting room.

Li Ji, Huang Xi and Liu Shangmin were absentmindedly drinking tea there, waiting for Li Yuntian's reception, and the three of them were caught off guard by this fire, and they didn't know how to explain to Li Yuntian for a while.

In fact, the three of them had been in the living room for more than an hour, and it was obvious that Li Yuntian was extremely dissatisfied with the fire, so he deliberately hung them here.

"Let's go, I'll go with them." In a wing room in the backyard of the secretary's office, Li Yuntian moved his somewhat sore neck after putting down the official document in his hand, and said with a smile to Yun Na who was standing on the side, presumably now Li Ji and the three of them were already waiting anxiously.

"Lord Wang, why don't you dry them more." Yun Na couldn't help but smile when she heard this, Li Ji, Huang Xi, and Liu Shangmin would never have thought that Li Yuntian had already known about the fire.

"The king still has things for them to do, and some things are too much, so they must stop in moderation." Li Yuntian smiled slightly, and opened his mouth to teach Yun Na Dao, let her not be rash when doing things, otherwise the effect will be counterproductive.

"Subordinates are taught." Yun Na bowed to Li Yuntian when she heard this, and thanked her with a smile, since following Li Yuntian's side, the edges and corners of her body have gradually smoothed out, trying to make herself reach the realm of joy and anger like Li Yuntian.

"Lord Wang!" After Li Yuntian walked into the living room with an expressionless face, Li Ji, Huang Xi and Liu Shangmin, who were drinking tea there, hurriedly got up to greet him.

"I wonder why the three adults came this time?" After Li Yuntian sat down in the first seat in the living room, he looked at Li Ji and the three of them quietly, and did not let the three of them sit down as usual.

"Lord Wang, I came here this time because of the fire that happened last night, Lord Wang, don't worry, we will definitely find out the cause of the fire and give you and Daming an explanation." Since Li Yuntian didn't speak, Li Ji and the three naturally didn't dare to sit down, Li Ji knew that Li Yuntian asked knowingly this time, so he said carefully with a smiling face.

"This king will find out about this matter, don't worry about the three adults!" Li Yuntian glanced at Li Ji and said with a serious expression, "This king came to Korea this time to investigate the cause of death of the king of Korea by the emperor's holy decree. ”

"Lord Wang, are those people okay?" Hearing this, Li Ji couldn't help but ask in surprise, because Li Yuntian had hung them for so long, he still thought that those people from Gyeongbokgung Palace had been buried in the fire.

"Hmph, fortunately, the escort general left a hand and asked them to change into soldiers' clothes and live with the soldiers, otherwise they would have died in the fire."

Li Yuntian sneered, looked at Li Ji and said, "Prime minister, this king doesn't want his soldiers to die in the fire inexplicably, since they died in your realm, then the follow-up pension matter must be bothered by you!" ”

"The prince is serious, this is a matter within my equal share, why bother to say it." Knowing that the soldiers of the Ming Army died in the fire, Li Ji immediately heard that cold sweat flowed down his forehead, and he hurriedly bowed down to answer, squeezing out a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying.

"If this king finds out who did this, he will definitely not spare him!" Li Yuntian sneered and glanced at Huang Xi and Liu Shangmin, and after slapping the table hard, he shouted in a deep voice, looking angry.

Huang Xi and Liu Shangmin suddenly glanced at each other secretly, and a wry smile invariably appeared on their faces, it seems that this time the matter is big.
