Lonely non-good minister

The father and son fell silent. Duke Mu is powerful, and his disciples and old officials are all over the world. Even though he has an in-law with the East Palace, King Zhongshan does not want to confront him. Moreover, this matter has been repaired several times after many years , it is difficult to prove that it was a problem during the initial construction, even if they raise it now, it may not be of any use.

"This matter is so important that Ting Wei's Mansion will definitely intervene. It shouldn't be up to us to propose who is the suspect for the collapse of the hall. Such a suspicion of shirking responsibility will only make people catch the wrong place and add insult to injury. Therefore, it is admitted that the work was not good and it was not discovered in advance. It would be better if the main hall collapsed." Song Chun had always been so daring.

King Zhongshan was noncommittal, so Song Zhu asked: "If we admit that we are not doing well, won't the chance we have won so hard be gone?"

"No matter how the emperor will deal with it, we must admit that we did it and repaired it specially. This responsibility cannot be shirked anyway. If we insist on evading it, it will make the emperor angry." Song Chun looked at it after finishing speaking. Looking at King Zhongshan, I was afraid that he would be confused at this time: "And the most urgent thing is to wait for the next ceremony. What should I do? At this time, the emperor should have heard the news, and I always have to come up with a countermeasure when I am in front of the emperor. It can save some face, so the result won’t be too bad.”

King Zhongshan agreed to Song Chun's suggestion after careful consideration, looked at the three brothers and said, "Let's talk about how to deal with the current situation first."

"Later, we will pay respects to the heaven and earth at the Jinlin Terrace. It is better to invite people to invite all the ancestors to the Jinlin Terrace. If such a thing happens, it is necessary to ask the ancestors for sins. Therefore, after the worship of the heavens and the earth is over, we will pay our respects to the ancestors together." And plead guilty."

Song Zhu's idea was still so simple, King Zhongshan and Song Chun didn't speak, their biggest worry was not how to perform the ceremony, but how to persuade Emperor Taikang to accept this method.

Moreover, it is raining heavily outside now, even if the Jinlin Terrace is covered by tile eaves, it can't stand all the people, can't let everyone stand in the rain?
Song Yuan didn't say a word, she was not familiar with the ancestor worship process, and she couldn't think of any other way for this kind of thing.

"My lord, the emperor has summoned you." The servant came over and announced.

King Zhongshan was in a state of suspense, and prepared for the worst, leading Song Chun and Song Zhu over there, while Song Yuan was left behind, and he tacitly agreed that Song Yuan could not help.

After sending them off, Song Yuan went to the collapsed hall again. The palace servants and guards were picking up the ancestor's rank in the rain, and the people coming and going were busy sending the tablet to the side hall to worship.

Song Yuan went over to pick up a tablet, put it aside respectfully, and then approached the collapsed place, the guard next to her hurriedly reminded her to be careful.

The heavy rain is heavy, and the roof is likely to collapse again. Those crumbling beams are scary to look at, and the big cracks on the gable wall from top to bottom are even more shocking to look at.

If it was really cutting corners, how did it pass the acceptance test?Moreover, what an honor it was for Mu Guogong to build the Great Hall of the Ancestral Temple by order, he would never smash his own signboard.

Patting the broken girder, Song Yuan looked at the broken part hanging in mid-air. He couldn't see it very clearly on a rainy night, and he didn't know how Song Chun could tell that the girder was broken because of moths. The specifics would have to wait until the rain stopped and dawn Only then can we know.

Just suddenly, Song Yuan touched a pothole, which looked like a hole eaten by moths. She touched the side again, but there was no pothole.

Song Yuan couldn't help wondering: the moth should not only be in one place.

She touched it carefully for a while, and vaguely felt that it was like a word, but it was too dark to see clearly.

"Lamp." She yelled, and immediately a guard came over with a white porcelain lamp. The candlelight passed through the white porcelain jar as thin as a cicada's wing, allowing Song Yuan to barely see the words on the beam.

"Jiangzhou He Suichang system." She read out.

This line of characters is very small, hidden on the polished side edge of the girder, it is very difficult to find.

Song Yuan thought about it, and beckoned to Wei Yan: "When the hall is being built, there will be a list of personnel kept. Go to He Suichang from Jiangzhou to see if he is still alive."

"Yes, the subordinate immediately arranged for someone to look for it." Wei Yan immediately pulled away and left.

Song Yuan stared at the line of small characters, and told the guard holding the lamp that after the rain stopped and the inspection of Ming Tingwei's mansion was completed, he would find a chance to cut off the small characters completely.

Before she finished speaking, there were a few more figures behind her: "Why did the Ninth Young Master come here? This house is not fully collapsed, and it is still dangerous. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time."

"Master Huo came so fast in such a heavy rain." Song Yuan withdrew from the broken bricks.

Huo Ying kindly gave her a hand: "The collapse of the main hall of the Taimiao is not a trivial matter, so naturally we have to come and see it as soon as possible."

"So that's the case, then I'll tell Mr. Huo what I found." Song Yuan pointed to the place where the small print was found: "There is a line of small print there, which says Jiangzhou He Suichang system. I suspect that it is the craftsman who participated in the construction of the main hall. found."

Huo Ying glanced over there, and the soldiers behind him immediately went in, and after searching carefully for a while, they found out where it was.

"My elder brother also touched that place, but he didn't find the small characters, but suspected that the girder was eaten by moths." This matter has a lot to do with his family's honor and disgrace. According to Ying Yiwu Shishi's explanation, after all, it is much more convenient for Tingwei's mansion to investigate the case than for her to investigate by herself.

Huo Ying said: "All the materials used to build the palace are excellent, and they are unlikely to be eaten by insects. The specific reason for the collapse can only be determined after investigation."

"Then please trouble Mr. Huo." Song Yuan bowed politely: "Please also check Mr. Huo as soon as possible, so that we can have an explanation."

Huo Ying nodded in agreement.

Song Yuan didn't stay here for a long time, he went back to his room, and just changed his wet clothes and dirty shoes, a maid came and said that Mrs. Shen came to ask how things were going.

It was only then that Song Yuan thought of telling them that this time the ancestor worship, because Mrs. Shen was raised as a side concubine, so she also came together. They lived with other female relatives in several halls on the west side.

Song Yuan walked along the corridor, Shen and Xiao Shen were already waiting, Song Yuan told the truth about the situation, Shen's complexion changed drastically.

"This is not a trivial matter. If the emperor asks for a crime, I'm afraid the prince..." She looked at Xiao Shen: "Do you have a good idea?"

Xiao Shen thought about it carefully before shaking her head. She is a woman in the back house, and it is enough to get Song Yuan's attention on weekdays.

"No, I have to find someone to help me with this matter." Shen Shi hurried out.

Song Yuan chased to the door and saw that she had gone far away, so he simply turned back and asked, seeing that Xiao Shen hadn't changed, "Is mother still asleep?"

Xiao Shen shook her head: "I always feel that someone is watching from the dark, so I never take off my clothes."

I will ask for a day off tomorrow, no change.
