My harem can't be this messy

The so-called six rates are the six rates of the East Palace, which is the military power mastered by the prince of the East Palace.The six rates are the rate of the prince's left and right guards, the left and right siyu rate, and the left and right Qing Dao rate, each leading three to five Zhechongfu troops.

Chapter 147

There was a fire in Taicang, and among the ruins of the fire scene, three people with six ranks were burned to death. This is probably not simple.

Today's crown prince Li Chengqian is not yet able to instruct his own people to do things like arson in Taicang, such things are of no benefit to him at all, even as long as his father and queen mother pursue him, he will be the first to escape responsibility.

When Taicang was appointed as supervisor, Li Chengqian had to bear some joint and several responsibilities. It would be unbelievable if he ordered Taicang to be burned.

However, the identity of the three people at the scene of the fire has been confirmed by the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple, so they can't be wrong if they think about it.

It's very simple, if it is a person with six rates, it must be the guard of the East Palace stationed in the palace. Li Chengqian has enough means to find out whether he is his own.

Since Li Chengqian didn't show evidence that the other party was just a fake, he had already confirmed the other party's identity.

The palace is turbulent, a fire broke out in a Taicang, and such a thing happened unexpectedly.

If those three people were not appointed by Li Chengqian, who would they be?Framed the crown prince, the first thing Li Zhi thought of was his second brother. In the 16th year of Zhenguan, it was nothing new for King Wei and the crown prince to compete for the crown prince.

Li Chengqian could feel the pressure, how could the others in the palace not feel the reality that these two princes were brothers in the face, but kept fighting behind their backs, wishing to stab each other to death with a knife.

If Li Tai did it, it would be too obvious.Would the second brother's way of handling things be such an obvious framing thing?

Li Zhi knocked on the table with his hand, Chuntao said that the three people who were burnt to death were all from the East Palace, and King Jin frowned slightly.

Could it be other princes? Although there are only three direct princes, the father has fourteen princes.Peeping at the throne is not just something the direct prince does. If it is other princes, the scope is a bit too big.

Because everyone wants to make a dragon chair, and Li Zhi is no exception, and he really wants to sit on it, so that he can have sex with the empress... ouch, when is this, why did he think of Wu Meiniang first.

The other party set fire to Taicang in the late spring rain, and used the six raters. This kind of behavior actually had other purposes.

It is really difficult to blame the crown prince, neither the current emperor nor the queen mother is an ordinary person, if it is possible to blame the prince, it will be too simple.

When it was raining in late spring, lighting Taicang was to make everyone the first to think of the fire, and think it was man-made?The person who uses the six rate is to warn Li Chengqian that if the prince is armed within the six rate, he can't be trusted anymore.

Li Zhi knocked on the table seven times, and slowly opened his eyes.

To set off waves and try to cover it up, and to cause intensified internal fighting between the court or the East Palace and the princes, could it be this person's purpose.

It even meant to frame Wei Wang.

Li Zhi looked at Chuntao, he set fire to Taicang, but the players couldn't get a glimpse of what was behind the clouds and mist. In fact, there could be countless, even Li Chengqian, he couldn't get rid of the suspicion at this time, and the suspicion was very serious.

Forget it, I still stand outside the matter, regardless of whether it is the best.Anyway, no one will doubt him, because he has no money to win over people with six rates.

Being poor is also a talisman at this time.Otherwise, his identity as King Jin would also arouse suspicion from others.

I have no money, and my mother let me live in the Wanchun Palace. All my expenses, the younger one went to Chuntao Xiahe, and the older one passed to my mother's place.

His suspicions were naturally completely washed away.

"Brothers, please fight, even if you demolish this Taiji Palace, it has nothing to do with this king."

Li Zhi looked at Chuntao, then gently took Chuntao's hand.

"From now on in the palace, don't tell others about Taicang, even with Qiu Ju Dongmei."

"Your Highness, why?"

"Just listen to the king."

"Yes, Chuntao has written it down. When sister Xia He comes back, Chuntao tells sister Xia He not to say anything."

Li Zhi nodded, as if he was staying out of the matter.Since he can handle this matter alone, he will not get involved in the muddy water.

The water in the palace does not know how deep it is, and if it gets sucked in, it will not come out.

Li Zhi had just finished speaking to Chuntao, when there was a hurry outside, a maid had already entered the Wanchun Hall.

"Dongmei met His Royal Highness King Jin, and the empress summoned His Highness to the Lizheng Hall."

Li Zhi frowned slightly, but still got up slowly.At this time, the queen mother summoned herself to the Lizheng Hall, which seemed to be related to the fire in Taicang.

Naturally, it was impossible for Li Zhi to shirk this matter, and the queen mother summoned him, so he dared not go.

Li Zhi followed Dongmei into the Lizheng Hall, and as soon as he entered the main hall, he felt that the atmosphere in the main hall was a bit dignified.

His mother was sitting upright at this moment, holding her forehead with one hand, she put her hand down when she saw Li Zhi coming in, and waved lightly, Dongmei, who was behind Li Zhi, quickly exited the Lizheng Hall.

"Zhi'er has seen the queen mother!"

"sit down!"

"Yes, mother."

"Have you heard about what happened in Taicang?"

Sure enough, as soon as the queen mother let herself sit down, she talked about the Taicang matter. It seems that the queen mother also thought of a lot, and she was worrying at this moment.After all, there are too many involved in the fire this time. It is still the prince and the king of Wei, who are also his own sons, so the queen mother can not worry about it.

"Mother, the emperor heard about it."

"Zhier, who do you think did it?"

"Forgive me for being stupid, how can I know this Zhier, there is no proof of death. The three of them were all burnt by the fire, and it is already the limit to be able to distinguish the six rate people."

"It's too late for a fire in this late spring rainy day. Your father will return to Chang'an in half a month."

Empress Changsun said lightly, and looked at her favorite young son.

"Empress, shall we prepare to welcome Emperor Father into Chang'an now?"

"You kid, you changed the subject on purpose."

Li Zhi stuck out his tongue, Empress Changsun looked at her son.It can also be seen that he is avoiding this matter in the palace.

Avoiding the waves may be the best way for him at this time, he himself can't see through the clouds and mists, Zhi'er wants to avoid them, Empress Changsun naturally has no intention of pulling him into the clouds and mists.

"Forget it, I will accompany my mother to have dinner at the Lizheng Hall, Dongmei!"

"Your Majesty, the servant is here!"

"Go to the Princess Court and pass on the two princesses, Chang Le Yuzhang, to the Lizheng Hall to see where Hengshan is having fun, and call them back to the Lizheng Hall."

After accompanying his mother to eat with the royal sister at noon, Li Zhi could feel the dreary atmosphere that enveloped the Lizheng Hall, even his little royal sister seemed to notice it, and quietly dealt with the food in front of him without saying a word .

Li Zhi naturally used force against a piece of mutton on the plate in front of him from the beginning to the end. It was not until he walked out of the Lizheng Hall that Li Zhi let out a long sigh.

Today's imperial meal is really stressful.

Walking out of the Lizheng Palace, Li Zhi saw the two imperial sisters chasing after him. Li Zhi had to stand under the Lizheng Gate, looking at the two imperial sisters. This place leads to the Wanchun Palace, and he would not go here if he went to other places.

Chapter 148

"You two imperial sisters, are you looking for me for something?"

How could Princess Changle be polite to her younger brother, she took Li Zhi's hand when she came up, and Princess Yuzhang followed her example, and also took the other hand. political gate.

You are like this, okay?Li Zhi was depressed, the two imperial sisters each hugged his arm, and they were so close that they almost hugged their own arms.

"I haven't eaten well in the Lizheng Hall today, and the emperor wants to come to your place for a meal."

Li Zhi was depressed, how could he have food for the two imperial sisters to rub against.

After entering Wanchun Hall, Li Zhi ordered Chuntao to prepare snacks. There was no food, only snacks.

"By the way, third brother, after hearing about the fire in Taicang, Miss Huang, you ordered a batch of wheat that was wet by the rain."

"It's because of this matter. Brother Huang asked someone to send the wheat to Prince Jin's Mansion."

When Princess Changle heard what her younger brother said, her face suddenly changed. Li Zhi was startled, because the imperial sister took a silk scarf and wiped the corners of her eyes.

What's the matter, isn't it just that I asked for about a thousand stones of damp wheat? Why is Huang Jie still crying?

Li Zhi was startled, and then saw Princess Yuzhang wiped the corner of his eyes, and had already grabbed Li Zhi's hand and put it in his arms.

With this reaction, Li Zhi was really dizzy, clueless, and completely dumbfounded.

At this time, I saw my sister Changle holding my hand tightly, but Li Zhi really didn't know how to describe the position where she put it.

I can only sigh, the daughter born to my mother doesn't think of me as a man at all!How could anyone hold his brother's hand and put it there.

But thinking about the more egregious things Changle Huangjie did in that carriage, what's the matter at this moment.

Not thinking about these things, Li Zhi just looked at the place where men couldn't help but feel a little impulsive when they saw it, and looked at his imperial sister's alluring beauty.

"Queen, what's the matter?"

"Third brother, if you are short of money but food, you can open your mouth to Miss Huang, what do you want those damp wheat salvaged from the fire in Taicang, they all germinated."

Uh, Li Zhi thought why sister Huang was crying, but it was because of this.

Li Zhi quickly used his remaining hand to support Sister Huang's waist.

"Sister Huang, I'm not short of money, and the Jin Palace is not short of food either. I have other uses for that batch of wheat."

"You can't lie to Miss Huang."

"Sister Huang, why did I lie to you, do you want my brother to swear to heaven?"

Li Zhi raised his hand and was pulled down by Princess Changle. At this moment, he burst into tears and smiled, looking at his beloved brother.

"Remember, if you have any difficulties, or if you are nervous in Prince Jin's Mansion, you should speak to Sister Huang, and you can't hide it from Sister Huang."

For a moment, Li Zhi almost wiped his tears.When I came to Datang, my mother and queen sister treated me really well.

"Third Brother, you can't hide it from Second Sister Huang either!"

There, Princess Yuzhang said that Li Zhi couldn't hold it back. He was only 15 years old when he came to this era, and his mind would not be as hard as steel.

His eyes were a little damp, as if he had entered a sandstorm.

Chuntao over there entered the Wanchun Palace, and Li Zhicai was able to get out of the urge to cry.

"Sister Huang, this is your favorite lotus flower cake, and second sister's favorite mille-feuille cake."

Li Zhi hurriedly asked the two imperial sisters, Princess Changle, to gently pick up an oval-shaped snack with her jade fingers, and handed it to Li Zhi's mouth.

"Open your mouth!"

Li Zhi took a big bite of most of it. The dim sum at this time was actually not too sweet and greasy, because although sugar appeared earlier, it appeared in the southern Chu State during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. It was a solid made of sugarcane juice.

However, this method of sugar production is extremely backward, generally using the method of sun exposure, which has not yet formed a large scale.

Needless to say, in the north, this most primitive sweetener is extremely rare. Generally, honey and caramel are used for sweetening. The so-called caramel is close to maltose, but because of the ratio, the sweetness of caramel is not very high. .

In fact, in the 21st year of Zhenguan, Xuanzang returned to the Tang Dynasty and told Taizong what he had seen and heard in Tianzhu, and Taizong would send envoys to Tianzhu to learn the more advanced method of boiling sugar.

So at this time, sugar making technology existed in Datang, but it was extremely primitive.The output is limited and the scope of application is extremely narrow.

The cane sugar produced in the Tang Dynasty really became a commodity, and it was transported from the Silk Road to the Middle East and Europe until the end of the Zhenguan Year.

Therefore, the snacks at this time are not very sweet and greasy, and natural honey is used for sweetening.

Li Zhi took a big bite, and Princess Changle gave the remaining small piece to his mouth.

Princess Changle has never disliked the leftovers from her younger brother's food. As for others, no one can dream of letting the eldest princess eat leftovers.

Princess Changle fed King Jin a mouthful, and Princess Yuzhang naturally also fed it. For some reason, this snack tastes better when shared with her younger brother.

It has become a habit since my little brother ate one bite first, and they ate the rest.

Li Zhi also felt that his brother and sister were very close, so he naturally tried his best to cooperate with the two imperial sisters.

There, Princess Changle suddenly took a lotus cake that looked like a lotus flower in her mouth, and then handed it to Li Zhi's lips.

"Miss Huang, is this..."

Princess Changle took off the lotus cake with green fingers and looked at her third brother.

"Miss Huang doesn't dislike what you have eaten, but you dislike what Miss Huang said."

Li Zhi had no choice but to put his head closer. Princess Changle put the lotus cake in her mouth, and Li Zhi lightly bit the other half.

Hey, this seems to be a scene that appeared in the weddings of later generations. How did I change the lotus cakes shared by myself and the emperor.

Naturally, Li Zhi touched those vermilion lips, it's no problem, my own sister, isn't kissing still popular in foreign countries!

Seeing her younger brother like this, Princess Changle calmed down and smiled lightly. Li Zhi, who was so fascinated, almost forgot that this was his sister.

Princess Yuzhang followed suit there, and Li Zhi was depressed, but he had to continue to share the snacks with the two princesses.

Fortunately, it is a snack. If it were grapes, it would be over.

After a while, the remaining dim sum Chuntao withdrew, and Li Zhi accompanied Huang Jie to talk again. Outside, Xia He went back to the Wanchun Palace. Seeing that the two princesses were there, molesting His Royal Highness King Jin, he dared not go in.
