Chapter 472 Longevity Festival, Chaotic Night (Part 2)
This chaos in front of the Xixia Palace was quite abrupt in the eyes of the kings and ministers such as Li Ganshun. They had not even made a clear idea of how this happened until now. Only Sun Tu, the person who planned everything, knew that this would inevitably happen. They just directly induced the hidden dangers.
It is a big danger to gather tens of thousands of people in a small area. Sometimes, as long as a small commotion occurs, it can cause panic among countless people at the scene. Once the panic spreads, everyone scrambles to escape, which will lead to a disaster.
This situation is that people with advanced scientific knowledge and higher quality in the people will not be avoided after a thousand years, let alone these big words may not be able to recognize a lot of Xia Guo Dangxiang people. Therefore, just throwing a few handfuls of copper coins into the crowd is enough to make people feel confused and lead to this uncontrollable situation.
Even though the imperial guards had quickly stepped forward to suppress the people who were rushing to the emperor's order, the situation still did not change much. More than 3,000 imperial guards merged into the tens of thousands of people who were panicked and thoughtless, and some imperial guards were even squeezed and fell down, following the footsteps of those unjust souls.
"Everyone goes out of the palace to suppress the people, and you can't go on in chaos anymore!" Li Ganshun's body began to tremble violently. How could he become like this? Today is obviously his birthday, and he originally planned to have fun with the people, but in the end there was such chaos under his nose. This will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the entire Xia Kingdom. He has even begun to consider the future birthday and engage in low-key activities, and no longer showing off as extravagantly as before.
Then, Li Ganshun fell on the envoys of Liao and Song countries not far away, thinking about what their reaction would be after seeing such a scene. What fell into his eyes was an unspeakable cold smile. Obviously, in the eyes of these two envoys, the chaos in Xia State was more like a big show, a big show that made the Xia State court lose all its face!
Li Ganshun, who was even more annoyed, immediately spoke again: "Let the inspectors dispatch all the staff immediately to calm the chaos as soon as possible. Prince, all the people in your mansion come out, don't let them just stay behind closed doors!"
The prince responded quickly, turned around and went downstairs, and went to talk to his subordinates for instructions. At this moment, a few more screams came from above: "There is a fire there...there is a fire there..."
Upon hearing this, the prince hurriedly turned around and ran a few steps up, then looked into the distance. Sure enough, he found that several fires had lit up near Taiqingfang, where his mansion was located. Then, fires were everywhere, which made his heart beat, knowing that something was wrong!
There is no such coincidence in this world. As soon as a chaos broke out in the palace, fire broke out not far away. The only explanation is that everything happened under the premeditation of some people. In other words, someone was secretly damaging, trying to turn this Wanshou Street celebration tonight into a mess!
What scared the prince was that once his guess was good, the crime of the inspectors in charge of today's security matters in the city would be too great. The person in charge of the related matters was Li Kan, who had been taken away from the position of Chief of the inspectors, who was one of the prince's confidants!
Although the emperor issued an order to seize the position of Chief of the Inspection Office of Li Kan just two days ago, because there was no definite successor, the errands that had already been handed over to him were not handed over for a while. Especially for the safety of this Wanbao Festival, because it was of great importance, it was difficult to replace the person at will, so everything was still under his responsibilities.
Now that there are continuous troubles, Li Kan will naturally be unlucky if he is pursued. Not only him, but also the entire inspector's office, and even the prince who recommended him to this position will be blamed. The prince is very clear that Yimo's skillfulness will never miss the opportunity to attack him like this.
It is necessary to make up for it, and even if it is not good, it must be seized by some arsonists to give my father some explanation! After turning this idea, the prince turned back and went down to his subordinate who had just received his order and wanted to make arrangements, saying: "You have let all the guards in my mansion go out, search carefully nearby, and take all the suspicious people away!"
"Abide by the order! It's just the prince. Once this happens, the prince's mansion will be empty... If a thief takes this opportunity to sneak in..."
"No one has such courage. They did all this just to disrupt my Xingzhou City." The prince was not worried about this, and immediately ordered with a stern face: "You must not make any perfunctory things. Everyone will go out to arrest people for me, otherwise I will not spare them easily when I go back!"
"Yes!" Seeing that the prince had already made a ruthless move, the other party did not dare to say anything more. After responding, he hurried down and went to the palace gate to pass on the message.
At this time, Li Qianshun above was so angry that his face was as bright as a mysterious hall. He stared at the ignition light not far away, and his teeth were creaking. "Okay, I didn't expect that someone would really dare to make such a stir in my Xingqing Mansion. If I knew who did it, I would definitely destroy the three clans!"
"Haha, this is just retribution for reincarnation." When the ministers didn't even dare to breathe because the emperor was angry, a word suddenly came out. Although this was not very loud, it still fell into everyone's ears under such a quiet situation. The faces of all the kings and ministers present changed drastically, and then their eyes looked at the person who made the voice, full of anger and murderous aura.
The person who said this was the envoy of Liao Kingdom. At this time, he had a sneer of sneer on his face. Even if he was stared at by so many people, he had no intention of retreating. He turned to look at Li Qianshun and nodded slightly to him, as if he admitted that he had said what he said.
Mo Ghokhe and others were furious. This was the face of beating the king and minister of Xia in person! But when they were about to scold him, they didn't know what to say. It was just because they all knew that what the envoy said was not bad. Over the years, the Xia Kingdom had installed too many secret spies in the Liao and Song dynasties, and many troubles had happened. Not to mention it, just a few months ago, the chaos in Nanjing in Liao Kingdom was caused by their people. However, the Liao Kingdom could not find conclusive evidence for the moment, so it was not investigated to the end.
Today, when the Liao envoy was also in chaos in Xia State, the envoys of Liao will naturally feel gloating. Moreover, the Liao envoys have been hindered everywhere in Xingzhou City for these days, and they are full of anger. It is reasonable to vent a few sarcastic words.
Even after some people thought deeply, they wondered whether the person behind all this would be the envoys of the Song and Liao countries or the people around them?
Not to mention, this is still very likely. Because there are too few people who dare to set fire in Xingqing Prefecture, it is natural that ordinary people in Xia will not be able to do such things. They do not have the courage, ability, and there is no need to do all this. Today, Xia is in a rare prosperous era. The people in the country only have a good impression of the court, so how could they risk their whole family being killed to do such a ruthless thing in the capital?
As for the few thieves and bandits, it is almost impossible to easily investigate the entry and exit of Xingzhou City during this period. So the only explanation is that a certain country's forces that have been hiding in the city are secretly planning!
What Mo Ghokhe and other ministers could think of, Li Ganshun naturally tasted it quickly, and his eyes immediately became sharper: "The Liao envoy seems to be a little despised by our Xia Kingdom?"
"Haha, I look down on those villains who only make some conspiracies. I thought that only I, the Great Liao, would encounter such a trick, but I didn't expect that the Xia Kingdom would be invaded so much!" After replying to the emperor without any hesitation, he stopped provoking and turned around and continued to "appreciate" the situation outside.
The Song envoy not far from him smiled silently when he saw this. He had been hitting a wall recently and was happy to see the Xia people being defeated. Of course, if he knew that the fire was not the Liao people but the secret spies from the Song Dynasty, he would probably not be able to laugh anymore.
At this time, the envoys of the Song and Liao countries rarely had a consensus. They all hoped that the ignition could spread quickly, and it would be best to involve the entire Xingqing Prefecture in the fire.
But half an hour later, their hope was completely shattered.
After all, Xingqing Mansion is the capital of Xia Kingdom, and the army and government power here are extremely strong. When the emperor was angry, both the imperial guards, the city defense forces, the inspector's troops and the prince's mansion and the troops of other mansions worked together, and there was no longer any barrier. With their full force of suppression and rescue, the chaos was finally completely calmed before dawn.
But how many casualties and losses caused by this movement could not be determined at least in a short period of time. It was not until this time that the people present were relieved. Li Ganshun waved his hand tiredly and said, "Let's go out of the palace and go back to the palace in the afternoon." He also felt a burst of fatigue, and just wanted to go back to the harem to rest for a while. The Emperor of Xia, who was nearly 60 years old, showed a hint of old age for the first time.
The prince and Moshohe, the two ministers who were closest to him, clearly felt this, which made their hearts move. Could it be that the opportunity is coming?
No matter what everyone was thinking, they had only one thought left at this time, that is, to go back and rest for a while, and then take good care of later accountability.
