"The monster in the fire? Assassinate me? Didn't I just build the Fire Temple in Shichahai two months ago...!"
Emperor Wanli couldn't figure out the current situation.
A fire temple was built.
The god of fire comes to kill him.
"?"
Building the temple also created enemies!
Emperor Wanli was confused, but he had to avoid disaster first, so he began to evacuate with doubts. However, the three fire gods who had just burned down the Qianqing Palace would not let Emperor Wanli go so easily!
The divine fire of the Vulcan was restricted by the power of the country and could not be directly used on the emperor and others, so the Vulcans would set fire to the palace, and the initiators of the arson could not be themselves.
The divine fire they released, the emperor and other people with national authority could directly pass by without being affected.
And if a mortal sets the fire, it is a normal fire that can burn any living thing, so ordinary fire also has the benefits of ordinary fire.
The magic of gods and monsters cannot be added to the emperor, but the emperor himself is just a mortal. Although he has national power, sitting in the Forbidden City is to follow the rules and restrain all the gods, ghosts and monsters in the world, even among the gods, the underworld, and the earthly immortals. Human beings are physically weak, this is a fact that cannot be changed.
"The emperor ran away. I just heard it. They seemed to say they were going to Longde Hall."
"Well, inside Longde Hall, Lord Song should have killed the Taoist priest, taken his body, and is waiting for the emperor."
"It's a pity that the emperor's sleeping position has never been accurately determined. I originally thought that a fire would burn him to death tonight, but I didn't expect that he still ran out."
At the back of Qianqing Palace is the Nuan Pavilion, with a total of nine rooms, each of which is divided into two floors, each connected by stairs. Each room has three beds, either above or below, for a total of twenty-seven beds. The emperor is free to choose which room and bed to sleep in. Even those who are familiar with Nuange's situation have difficulty figuring out where he sleeps.
This is a precautionary measure.
"Chi Zhi, have all the eunuchs and maids in this palace been taken care of?"
Among the three people in the fire, the old man with white beard asked the boy in brocade.
The boy in brocade responded crisply:
"It's all taken care of. The 'A-Lian's have already taken away the bodies of the palace maids and eunuchs. As long as the country's power cannot take care of them, and those places where no one from the royal family lives, the 'A-Lian's have already taken care of them. "
"Now 'Alien' are very happy. Not long after they became gods, they can play games in the palace!"
"There are also those two children who have been living in the West Sixth Palace for more than two months. They have also been with those women day and night for a long time. There should be two more mothers now."
After the boy in brocade responded crisply, the old man nodded:
"Lord Fire is coming soon, so you guys can't just play, otherwise you will make Lord Fire unhappy."
"Let's go, let's follow. Last year, we failed, which alerted Emperor Wanli. We can't make any mistakes this time."
"Chiqi, Mr. Song is no longer here. Go to the eldest prince and guide him. You must let him see the 'last face' of Emperor Wanli. We're done."
........
The three people in the fire just watched Emperor Wanli and the others leave. As the Qianqing Palace turned into a blazing light, at the same moment, a shocking light rose further to the south.
Fire in Huangji Palace!
Fire in Zhongji Palace!
Fire in Jianji Palace!
The first three palaces burst into flames, and countless palace residents were buried in the flames. With the screams of "water has broken out", the Han generals, palace maids, and eunuchs on duty in other places began to put out the fire.
Of course, the monstrous fire also alarmed the cabinet, because the office of the cabinet was in Wenyuan Pavilion. Soon, the cabinet elders had arrived in front of Huangji Palace!
The first assistant is Zhao Zhigao, the elder of the pavilion is Shen Guan, and the elder of the pavilion is Zhang.
"Have someone tell the Horsemaster!"
The outer palace was in chaos, and the fire covered the first three halls. The raging flames seemed to burn away all the filth in the world.
The charred corpses who died in the fire all stood upright in a strange posture, with an empty road between them, as if they were welcoming the arrival of someone.
"Mr. Ge, look...!"
An eunuch had a sharp voice and was frightened. The elders of the cabinet followed the eunuch's finger and looked towards the Huangji Palace. They saw the charred corpses standing among them, their arms slowly raised up, as if to celebrate this event. Like a fire!
Strange sounds came from the fire scene:
"Come and play games, come and play games..."
The palace maids and eunuchs all turned pale with fear. This was the first time for most people here to see such a strange thing.
Chief Assistant Zhao Zhigao's eyes widened, and the eyes of a crane on his crimson official robe began to move.
Just a thought, the country's mighty power, the old chief minister shouted:
"Be diligent in life and rest in death! What's the point of not resting until death!"
The voice yelled out, and there was the cry of cranes, and the black shadows of the charred corpses in the fire fell down with a bang, and then the shouts of "It hurts, it hurts, Allen hurts so much" came from the fire scene, and there were dozens of shadows. Jumping.
Ge Lao Shen was always surprised: "Is there a monster? But this is the Forbidden City!"
Zhao Zhigao stared at the dozen shadows in the fire, which looked like a dozen children playing in the fire. What surprised him at this time was that the crane on his body only sang a few times, There was no further movement!
"Sneaky evildoers, if they encounter us or other imperial officials, all they need is a face-to-face encounter, and the mythical beasts transformed by this national majesty will kill them. Why is the crane on my body not reacting now?"
"A loud shout just made these monsters feel pain?!"
Nowadays, many officials stay in the imperial city all year round and have no idea that the beasts in themselves have the ability to subjugate demons and ghosts, especially those newly promoted officials.
But it is actually understandable. After all, there are many Yinsi and Tiancao gods in Shuntian Mansion, and they are protected by great national power, so how can any evil spirits appear.
Perhaps officials have heard about evil things in various places and often discuss them with others, but how can they see the effects of animal supplements without actual combat?
After all, decades have passed since the era when Taoism flourished during the reign of Emperor Jiajing.
The dark shadows in the fire began to move away and disappeared into the fire!
"Oh no, these things ran away and went to the inner palace!"
The generals of the Han Dynasty, the flag bearer guards, and the military guards in front of the palace. These palace guards are only on duty in the outer palace. The inner palace is the emperor's private place. No one can enter the inner palace without permission.
"If you continue to say this now, Your Majesty's life may be in danger!"
The elders were in panic at this time. Some eunuchs told several elders that the emperor had previously mobilized the Nanzhen Fusi to enter the inner palace. Later, it seemed that someone saw the Jin Yiwei heading to the verandah in the northwest corner.
"Northwest of the palace?"
The northwest corner of the Forbidden City is a special area. Although it is located in the north, it is not within the scope of the inner palace.
There are three halls in this place, one is the Yinghua Hall, which is only used to worship Buddha and is usually empty; the other is the Xianxi Palace, which is a vacant palace. Emperor Jiajing used to use the palace as an alchemy place, but later demolished it. It was rebuilt during the reign of Emperor Longqing, and now there are no ghosts living there. The other one is Longde Hall, which was originally dedicated to Emperor Zhenwu and Mingruizong.
In Longde Hall, there is a Wudang Taoist priest who sweeps the courtyard.
The elders of the cabinet asked the front military guards and imperial horse supervisors to enter the inner palace. The former military guards and imperial horse supervisors were afraid of being held accountable. The chief minister Zhao Zhigao was immediately furious:
"If something happens to His Majesty, you will all be held accountable!"
"I'm seventy-three this year! Seventy-three, eighty-four, Yama will go without me! I'll bear all the responsibilities, but it's just a rotten head!"
The chief assistant Zhao Zhigao provided a guarantee, and the military guards in front of the palace and the Royal Horse Supervisor agreed. But even so, they looked like they were mourning for their heirs, and kept saying that they would die all the time.
It was at this time that Zhu Changluo appeared.
He deliberately appeared at the fire scene, and then ran towards the inner palace area. All the cabinet elders saw him, and the crowd couldn't stop him even though they were shouting, and watched helplessly as he ran into the fire.
"Quick! Follow..."
"Can't follow!"
Chief Assistant Zhao Zhigao grabbed Ge Lao Zhang and scolded him sternly: "Oh no, we can't follow him now! Why is this eldest prince so impulsive...!"
Anyone can risk death to go in and rescue him, but the eldest prince cannot go in!
"It is a capital crime for a soldier to enter the inner palace. The prince is also followed by the royal horse supervisor, the flag bearer guard, and the military guard in front of the palace..."
"Do you want His Majesty to regard it as a mutiny and kill the nine tribes afterwards!"
