"The monster in the fire? Assassinate me? Didn't I just build the Fire Temple in Shichahai two months ago...!"
Emperor Wanli could not understand the current situation.
The Fire Temple was built.
The god of fire comes to kill him.
"?"
Building a temple also creates 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 walk directly through it 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 the power of the country, sitting in the Forbidden City is to follow the rules and restrain all the gods, ghosts and monsters in the world, even 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 the Qianqing Palace is the Nuan Pavilion, with nine rooms in total. Each room is divided into two floors, each connected by stairs. Each room has three beds, either above or below, with a total of 27 beds. The emperor can freely choose to sleep on Which room, which bed? Even for those who are familiar with the situation of the Nuan Pavilion, it is not easy to figure 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 clothes.
The boy in brocade responded crisply:
"It's all taken care of. The 'Alien' have already taken away the bodies of the palace maids and eunuchs. As long as the country's authority cannot take care of them, and those places where no one from the royal family lives, the 'Alian' have already finished taking 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 Jinyi responded crisply, the old man nodded:
"Lord Fire is coming soon. 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 are done."
........
The three people in the fire just watched Emperor Wanli and his companions 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!
Jianji Palace Fire!
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 the Huangji Palace!
The first assistant is Zhao Zhigao, the elder is Shen Guan, and the elder is Zhang.
"Have someone tell the Horsemaster!"
The outer palace was in chaos, the first three halls were covered in fire, and 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 were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Most of the people here had seen such a strange thing for the first time.
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 responding now?"
"A loud shout only made these monsters feel pain?!"
Nowadays, many officials stay in the imperial city all year round and have no idea that the animal body in them has the ability to subdue demons and ghosts, especially those newly promoted officials.
But in fact, it is understandable. After all, there are many underworlds and gods in Shuntian Mansion, and they are protected by great national power. How can there be any evil spirits and ghosts?
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 standard-bearing 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, and 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 panicking 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 towards 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 palaces in this place, one is the Yinghua Palace, which is used only for worshiping 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 it is abandoned and no ghosts live there. The other one is the 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 will be seventy-three this year! Seventy-three or eighty-four, I will go without Yama's invitation! I will bear all the responsibilities, but it is 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. However, even so, they looked like they were mourning for their heirs, and kept saying "ten thousand deaths, ten thousand deaths".
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 ministers saw him, and the crowd cheered and couldn't stop him, and they watched him run into the fire.
"Quick! Follow..."
"Can't follow!"
Chief Assistant Zhao Zhigao grabbed Ge Lao Zhang and yelled: "Oh no, we can't follow him now! Why is this eldest prince so impulsive...!"
Anyone can risk death to go in to rescue, 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, flag bearer guards, and military guards in front of the palace..."
"Do you want to be regarded as a mutiny by His Majesty, and the nine tribes will be killed afterwards?"
