Chapter 1160

At the moment, Chengming hall in the imperial palace is a bustling scene.

Chengming hall was the place where the emperor entertained the ministers of the imperial court. All the people sat down in turn, and each of them had delicious wine and food at the table. There were palace dancers in the hall, who danced with music.

Push the cup to change the cup, it is very happy and peaceful.

A few days ago, it was quite chaotic and everyone panicked, but now it's totally another scene

Xia Yanchun, the new king, is in the right seat. At the bottom right of him is Wang Kang.

It's hard to imagine that a top commander of the enemy can sit in this position, and it's not abrupt.

Yes, Wang Kang is here. He is the guest of honor.

As he once said, the stronger you are, the more afraid and respectful the enemy will be.

Now, that's the situation.

Wang Kang is the protagonist of this banquet, everyone dare not have the slightest neglect.

It looks like it was the enemy.

"Marshal Wang, here's to you."

At this time, Liu Qingcang came over with a wine glass.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu."

Wang Kang stood up.

He is in the first place at the bottom left of Xia Yanchun. This position is also very important, which is enough to show his status.

Xia Yanchun succeeded in becoming emperor, but Liu Qingcang made great efforts. It was he who cooperated with Wang Kang from inside to outside that made the situation today.

Although they didn't know each other before, they really had a long-term relationship with each other!

"I'm much older than you. I'll call you by your name. Don't you mind?"

"Of course."

Wang Kang said with a smile: "compared with Mr. Liu, I'm just a younger generation."

Naturally, he could recognize Liu Qingcang's kindness and call his name directly, which was a kind of intimacy.

"No

Liu Qingcang said in a low voice: "as the saying goes, ambition is not in high age. Wang Kang, you are a real young talent. Throughout the whole Yue Kingdom and even the whole mainland, there are very few outstanding people like you..."

What he said came from the heart.

But Wang Kang knows that this man must be quite alert to himself. He spared no effort to cooperate because his support for Xia Yanchun does not mean that he is absolutely at ease with himself.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu."

Wang Kang said with a smile: "now Vietnam and Zhao are allies. We should get closer."

"It was."

They hit each other and drank it down.

But they're all different.

This is definitely a dangerous person. When we are stable, we must get rid of him!

Wang Kang came to the state of Yue for such a long time, and he also understood the political situation of the state of Yue.

The Liu family is the only one now!

I don't know how many people depend on him.

This situation must be changed.

This depends on Xia Yanchun's ability and political wisdom.

At the banquet, Xia Yanchun and Wang Kang performed as usual. These people would never think that Xia Yanchun was controlled by Wang Kang.

Liu Qingcang paid homage to Wang Kang, which was a start. After that, many officials came to pay homage to Wang Kang.

Even if they have a lot of dissatisfaction in their hearts, they are very polite because they are afraid of

Respect for fear!

The scene was jubilant and lively.

At this time, a discordant voice rang out, and a commander in armor of the Imperial Guard rushed in.

"Your Majesty, something's wrong. Shoucheng palace is on fire!"

"Shoucheng palace? That's... "

I heard that.

Xia Yanchun stood up in a hurry, and it was hard for all the officials to sit down.

They all know.

Xia Yande, the former monarch, lived there.

But they all looked at Xia Yanchun. Maybe this is the order given by the new king.

He has succeeded to the throne.

What should the former monarch do?

Death is inevitable!

And there's no doubt about it. After all, they both know that the process of fighting for the throne has always been so cruel

Knowing what they thought, Xia Yanchun said directly, "I have never given any orders!"

"Go and have a look!"

Believe it or not.

Xia Yanchun directly gets up and goes to Shoucheng palace. Wang Kang and others keep up with him one after another, and the banquet can't go on.

It's going to be a big deal.

Out of Chengming hall, you can see a direction, in the night, the fire!

"It seems that the fire is not small!"

Some people marvel.

It's not too far away. I'm in a hurry. I'll be there soon.

Shoucheng palace is a separate palace. After all, it is the emperor's bedroom, with a large area and great style.At the moment, we can see that the fire is very strong and has spread from the main hall to the surrounding areas, and eunuchs and soldiers are rushing to put out the fire with water.

"What about elder brother Huang? Have you been rescued? "

Xia Yanchun asked busily.

"No

One man explained, "there was a sudden fire. It spread so fast that no one could get in."

"Waste, all waste!"

Xia Yanchun gritted his teeth and said, "hurry up and save people for me. I'll fight to death to save them!"

"It's been arranged."

The bodyguard commander is a little strange. It seems that his majesty is really worried about the prince.

Xia Yanchun's face is not very good-looking. He doesn't want to kill Xia Yande, at least not now.

The more time it is, the more magnanimous it should be. This is what Wang Kang told him.

This is the critical period.

Anyway, the throne is already his. Xia Yande can't do it again.

He didn't want to lose the reputation of killing his relatives as soon as he succeeded to the throne.

"You did it?"

Wang Kang, who is beside Xia Yanchun, asks calmly.

"No

"He must have made it himself."

Xia Yanchun knew that his eldest brother had expected his own result, and he had already had the chance to die.

"Has anyone been here in the meantime?"

Wang Kang asked again.

Even if he wants to die, there are many ways. There is no need to set fire to himself

"No

The commander said, and was busy changing his words: "yes!"

"Who is it?"

The commander said in a low voice: "not long ago, a eunuch said that he gave the prince a white silk on his Majesty's order."

I heard that.

Xia Yanchun's face changed slightly, and he doubted: "but I have never arranged for someone to give him white silk!"

To give bailing is to give death.

How could he do that?

"Who is that eunuch?"

"I don't know."

The bodyguard commander shook his head and said: "there are many maids and eunuchs in the palace these two days..."

"Waste!"

Xia Yanchun doesn't look very good.

Now it is obvious that someone wants Xia Yande to die just to frame himself and give him a bad reputation.

That is to say, there is another secret force in the palace.

He looked at Wang Kang with a stern face.

Wang Kang shook his head. He didn't think so. On the contrary, he thought there was another possibility

There are many reasons for arson, but there should be only one purpose, that is to cover up? Cover up the scene of the murder, or

Wang Kang suddenly thought of something and asked, "did the eunuch go out?"

"I'm out. I've arranged for a chase."

I heard that.

Wang Kang said in a low voice: "I can't find it. If I guess correctly, the eunuch is Xia Yande, the eldest prince..."
