My country is dying

Chapter 389 Obstruction
Mi Le took a sip of the wine and said nonchalantly: "It's useless to rely on me alone, you have to have that ability yourself."

Hou Junli did not speak, a rare silence.

Mi Le looked at him immediately, and there was no emotion on his face, it was peaceful.

"You don't object this time?" she asked.

"Against?" Hou Junli looked at her and smiled, "Since the emperor is already in charge, he should make up his own mind about everything. I can only try my best to help."

"It's as if it's true." Mi Le couldn't help muttering, but found that someone opposite him had a cold gaze, and immediately raised his head and smiled: "It's getting late, I'm going to rest first, the regent is free!"

As she said that, she stood up and ran into the room, unexpectedly, when she left, Hou Junli followed.

When Mi Le closed the door, he saw his slender figure blocking the door, and couldn't help but hesitate: "Don't you have a room?"

Hou Junli collapsed in as if no one was around, and took off his clothes calmly: "Retired."

"Retire?" Mi Le walked out immediately, "Then I will let Xiangsi open another one..."

However, as soon as she stepped out, she was dragged back and closed the door.

Mi Le stared at Junyan who was close at hand, gritted his teeth and said, "You want everyone to know?"

"It's not like everyone knows about it long ago." Hou Junli answered it as a matter of course, and dragged her inside.

Mi Le refused to leave, but couldn't bear his strength, so he simply sat down on the ground: "No!"

This looks like a rogue.

Hou Junli turned his head to look at her: "So are you sure you want to be here?"

"What's wrong with me being here? If you want to sleep, go to sleep by yourself!"

"Forget it." Hou Junli agreed, and suddenly leaned down. Mi Le thought he was going to hug her, and was so frightened that he punched and kicked him immediately, but he didn't intend to hug her at all, and just threw her arms Buckle, with one foot pressed, he leaned over and kissed her down.

"Hey..." Mi Le had no strength to resist, and only then did he realize what he meant by "definitely want to be here".

"Your Majesty?" The door was knocked suddenly, and Yu Quan's voice came from outside.

Mi Le froze all over, glanced at Hou Junli immediately, then cleared his voice and said, "It's nothing, you can go to rest."

Only then did Yu Quan's answer come from the door.

It wasn't until the sound of footsteps disappeared that Mi Le pushed Hou Junli away and strode inside.

Behind him, Hou Junli followed closely and directly forced her onto the couch.

The next day, the wind and snow continued.

Mi Le didn't get up until mid-sun, but he was still drowsy until he heard that Xiao Qi had returned.

When she came out and arrived at Xiao Qi's place, she realized that Hou Junli's house had not been retreated at all!

But she couldn't be angry anymore, because the news brought by Xiao Qi made her no longer care about unimportant things.

"Hunyue Kingdom can't take out iron weapons? How is it possible?"

The superior Hou Junli was silent, Xiao Qi quickly explained to Mi Le: "Someone was one step ahead of us and made an exchange with the Lord of the Soul Moon Kingdom, and exchanged the ironware."

"Any other countries? Are there any countries that are in short supply of iron?"

"What did Meng Qi say?" Hou Junli asked.

Xiao Qi responded immediately: "He said he is a businessman, the emperor and prince should understand."

When Mi Le heard this, he slapped his palm on the table angrily: "This Meng Qi actually backtracked! Didn't he promise us to be good!"

Xiao Qi fell silent at the side, and Hou Junli looked at him again: "Is there any other news?"

Yun Gui stood up at this time: "My subordinates have found out that none of the people from other countries have come to Soul Moon Country. On the contrary, a group of people from our Jinyan Country have come here before, but we can't find out who it is."

When Mi Le heard this, he looked at Hou Junli, and immediately knew from his eyes that his thoughts had been confirmed.

In other words, someone took a step ahead and cut off the beard.

Who is that? !

"Clean up and go back to Beijing." Hou Junli said calmly, "Yungui, you go and make arrangements."

Mi Le couldn't help but stop him: "Just return without success?"

Hou Junli looked at her: "Meng Qi's meaning is obvious. There are people who have better conditions than the one who came out, so Soulyue Kingdom will choose to cooperate with the other party. In other words, the side of Soulyue Kingdom is no longer conquerable. If we If you still want to get this batch of ironware, you can only start from within our Jinyan country.

"King Qi is right!" Xiao Qi echoed, "Besides, the imperial examination is approaching, and the emperor's time cannot be delayed. If there is another situation in the imperial examination, it will only catch us by surprise!"

When Mi Le heard this, he immediately focused—Xiao Qi's words were true, and at this juncture, there must be no accidents in the imperial examination, otherwise it would be as difficult as heaven to implement the New Deal in the future!

"Then let's go now!"

The group acted immediately and left the border that day.

It was already five days after finally arriving in the capital, but a major event was discovered just after arriving in the capital.

The largest Chunlai Inn in the capital caught fire and burned down, killing more than [-] examinees.

Originally, everyone on the road had expected the capital to change. After Fei Ge sent the letter to Xiao Hou, the group of people rushed to the capital without stopping.

Mi Le didn't have time to enter the palace, and followed Hou Jun directly to the scene of the crime.

The inn had already been burnt down to the point where it couldn't see its true colors, and it even affected the houses next to it. The candidates who survived the disaster were all depressed and gathered at the door of the inn, refusing to leave. Friends died in the fire.

"King Qi, General Xiao."

A person came out from the crowd, dressed in white, and it was Qi Moxuan.

Mi Le's eyes lit up, and he took a step forward immediately, thinking that he couldn't reveal his identity now, so he could only stand there: "You are here too!"

The man bowed to Mi Le, and then said: "Xiaguan arrived three days ago, but it's a pity that he was one step late, the inn has already burned down."

"The cause of the fire?" Hou Junli asked.

"It was the candle that lit the scroll, which caused the fire." Qi Moxuan replied.

"Most of the people living in the inn are candidates. It is reasonable for candidates to accidentally burn their books when they are studying." Xiao Qi analyzed from the side, "It's just that if it is combined with border matters, I'm afraid this matter must be tricky. It would be such a coincidence!"

It was rare for Mi Le to see him with an online IQ, so he immediately looked at Hou Junli: "What do you think?"

Hou Junli glanced at her, then looked at Qi Moxuan: "Take me to the fire site to see."

Qi Moxuan responded, and immediately led Hou Junli inside.

Standing at the door, Mi Le took a careful look around. However, the fire here happened three days ago, and there are no other flaws at all.

Seeing that some candidates were still there sad and refused to leave, Mi Le ordered Xiao Qi to find Jingzhao Fuyin and let him arrange accommodation for these candidates alone.

The thing has already happened, the top priority is to prevent it from happening further, and protecting these candidates has become the top priority!

After Qi Moxuan and Hou Junli came out of the house, they heard Mi Le's arrangement, and Qi Moxuan immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, if not, arrange for these people to go to the residence of the minister in the capital? In this way, the minister can also take care of me along the way!" "

Mi Le nodded: "Alright."

She immediately went to recruit Xiao Qi, and looked at Hou Junli again when she remembered something: "Did you find anything?"

Hou Junli looked around indifferently: "On the surface, there is nothing suspicious."

Seeing his gaze pause in the distance, Mi Le couldn't help but follow his gaze, but didn't see anything, so he immediately approached him: "Then what are your thoughts and guesses?"

Hou Junli glanced at her figure who was close at hand, and shook his head: "Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace first. If such a big event happens, I'm afraid the days ahead will not be safe."

Hou Junli's words were correct, as soon as Mi Le returned to the palace, he was judged by the former officials who opposed the New Deal.

Saying that this is an ominous omen and a punishment from God is justified.

Mi Le was in the upper position, and listened to these people chattering for an hour without stopping.

These people immediately realized something was wrong when they were arguing. When they raised their heads, they saw Mi Le drinking tea, and they were stunned.

Yushufang seemed to have a tacit understanding in an instant, and everyone stopped talking.

"Is this the end?" Mi Le looked at the crowd indifferently.

These people obviously don't know much about Mi Le. One is that she was too famous in the past, and the other is that although she has started to deal with state affairs, the state affairs are almost controlled by the regent behind the scenes. She is just a nominal one. Now that she has just been in power for a few days, these people can't figure out her temperament, but after all, they know that there is Hou Junli behind her, so they dare not be presumptuous.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Mi Le said: "Since you have finished speaking, it's my turn."

She put down her teacup and looked at Xiao Hou: "According to what Xiao Hou saw, what is the situation of the fire this time?"

Xiao Hou immediately took a step forward, glanced at the group of unreasonable officials and said: "My Majesty, although the cause of this incident has not been found out yet, it will definitely not be an ominous omen as the adults said! If Everything has to be brought up on the head of the gods and ghosts, then the Jinyan Kingdom will not be what it is now!"

As soon as Xiao Hou's words came out, he immediately got a group of people who agreed, and on the other side, those restless people immediately refuted.

"If it's not an ominous sign, then why are the candidates who are about to take the exam killed?"

"Master Song." Mi Le looked at the person who spoke, "Based on what you said, does it mean that the burning of a certain palace in the imperial palace means that the Jinyan Kingdom is about to perish?"

"I dare not!" The man hastily bowed.

"It's just a fire. It's enough to find out. A few adults have even risen to the theory of gods and ghosts. Not to mention that I never believe in ghosts and gods. Candidates, my New Deal can't make it through!"

As soon as she said this, the adults who made trouble looked at each other in shock, Mi Le got up from his seat and looked at the officials who made trouble: "Whether this incident was an accident or someone did it on purpose, I will definitely decide Find out, if I know that someone obstructs the New Deal behind the scenes and sabotages the upcoming exam, I will kill him without mercy."

She had already turned her back to those people, but suddenly turned around at the last sentence.

The leader, Mr. Song, was frightened by her staring eyes and quickly lowered his head. Only then did Mi Le slowly return to his seat. But this time, no one dared to say a word.

She immediately felt relieved, she didn't expect Xuexue Hou Junli's inadvertent turning back to kill was quite deterrent!

"The matter of the fire has been handed over to Mr. Hangzhou of Jingzhao Prefecture, and Mr. Qi, the prefect of Linzhou City, is assisted. In addition, spring is coming soon, and more candidates will inevitably enter Beijing in succession. I will hand over the safety and prevention of the capital. General Xiao, the commander of the imperial army, is in full charge. As for the matters concerning the examinees, Master Zhang is also requested to assist the Jingzhao Mansion in arranging all the accommodation and safety of these examinees, so as to ensure the smooth progress of the Spring Festival.”

Zhang Chengzhi immediately took a step forward: "I accept the order."

Mi Le left Xiao Hou to give some instructions, and when the imperial study room was completely quiet, she stretched out her hand and rubbed her temples: "I haven't slept well for a few days, and I just came back with these things!"

Xianglan hurriedly stepped forward to squeeze her shoulders and thump her back: "Servant help the emperor rub her!"

While she was speaking, Li Zirong suddenly appeared.

Mi Le let her in, only to learn that Li Zirong got another message from her intelligence agency.

"Your Majesty, I have inquired about it. There is indeed something strange about it. The reason why so many people were killed and injured in the fire at the Chunlai Inn was because several inns did not accept candidates, so that these candidates had to gather in the same inns. This Spring Inn is one of them!"

"Sure enough!" Mi Le took a deep breath, "Check again and find out who is behind the scenes to prevent those inns from accepting candidates entering Beijing!"

Li Zirong responded immediately, and Mi Le thought of something again, and looked aside: "Xiangsi, during this time, you will be responsible for assisting Master Li."

Acacia has martial arts, and the two of them take care of each other in their actions.

Xiangsi immediately responded and followed Li Zirong to leave. Mi Le thought of something again and looked at Xianglan: "Call Master Qi."

Half an hour later, Qi Moxuan entered the palace and saluted her respectfully. Then Mi Le looked at him and said, "It's only ten days away from Chunwei, and time is tight, so you should not interfere with the inn affairs. Full authority is given to Mr. Hang of Jingzhao Prefecture and Mr. Zhang, Minister of the Ministry of Households, and you will be able to assist from the side."

Qi Moxuan bowed in response, and then Mi Le remembered something again, and took out the score he gave her on her birthday.

"I really wanted to learn the piano at first, but later I realized that maybe I really don't have that talent, and I can't play this piece. Master Qi should take it back, otherwise it would be a waste to let me here!"

Qi Moxuan's eyes fell on the piano score, he paused for a moment, and then he reached out to take it: "It's my negligence, the emperor is in charge now, and the state affairs are busy, so where is the time to learn the piano?"

After the words fell, he smiled slightly, and put away the piano score: "Your Excellency, leave!"

Mi Le watched him go, and then sighed leisurely.

"Why is the emperor sighing?" Xianglan couldn't help asking from the side.

Mi Le shrugged, stood up and stretched his waist: "Nothing, let's go to Guanju Palace."
