I heard my brother is a tyrant

Chapter 55 Long Live My Emperor

"Water?" Ye Hui exclaimed.

The Xinggong was built in the mountains, and the terrain was higher than the Xingguan at the foot of the mountain. Looking at it from this angle, it was undoubtedly the Xinggong that was on fire.

As soon as Ye Hui jumped onto the roof, her heart sank as she watched the flames. That location should be on the south side of the palace, the area in front of the imperial court.

How could there be water in the palace?Although the weather is hot, but the vegetation is lush and the weather is humid at this time, it is not a dry time, not to mention that there are people on duty everywhere in the palace, how can such a big fire be started!

"Ye Hui, what did you see, come down quickly." Ye Chu anxiously shouted from below, "Is the palace on fire?"

"Girl, why did you come out?" Ye Ling, dressed in black --------------/Yi Yiy? Hua/Yi ran in quickly, with a sword on her back, she walked Ye Chu reached out to support her, and said, "The palace may be flooded somewhere, girl, don't worry, there are many guards on duty in the place where the adults live, there are peace jars everywhere in the palace, and there are lakes and ponds, nothing will happen. of."

Ye Hui turned over from the roof and said, "It's strange, how did the fire start up so fast, and it burned so big in such a short period of time, could it be that someone set the fire on purpose?"

Ye Chu's face turned pale.

Ye Ling hurriedly said: "Girl, don't be afraid, there are many people in the palace, and the place is very spacious, our lord is so skilled, nothing will happen."

While talking, Ye Ling also had no idea.Water and fire are the most ruthless, and the fire started so quickly, I'm afraid it was just like what Ye Hui said, someone set the fire on purpose.

Forced palaces have always been for the sake of the throne, blood splattered on the palace gates, swords and soldiers were facing each other, but few people would set fire to the palace, who would be so frenzied.

Ye Ling only hoped that the emperor would be safe and sound at the moment, and everyone ran out ahead of time.She tried to calm down, and said: "Girl, I am worried that someone who cares will know that you are in the Han family courtyard. It is not a secret that we are in the Han family courtyard. Besides, if the palace is flooded, if the fire spreads to the hotel, why don't we change it?" place."

"Where to go?"

"Go down the mountain, Mr. Han has prepared a bank account for you."

Ye Chu stared at the fire in the palace, and said, "But what about brother, what if there is any danger?"

"No." Ye Ling said, "Girl, there are too many people in the palace, and the other courtyards here are also full of important officials from the court. The minister will bring people into the palace to rescue and put out the fire, so don't worry. At this juncture, the servants must first ensure your safety."

Ye Chu was flustered, but he also understood that it was useless to be confused at this juncture. My brother said that you should calm down when things happen, and panic can only be countered by the chaos. No matter what happens, your brother can quickly calm down and calm down.

However, she was far from cultivating the mind of her brother. Ye Chu thought about it, and felt that it was useless to be anxious at this time. All she could do was to take care of herself first, obey the arrangement without causing trouble, and not to hold back her brother.

"Let's go down the mountain." Ye Chu asked, "What about Mrs. Hou and Han Jingshu? Call them up and go together."

"Yes." Ye Ling turned around and went out, sent a signal at the door, and immediately a hidden guard appeared, Ye Ling ordered a few words, came back and Ye Hui protected Ye Chu, and went straight to the stables in the small courtyard of Han's Bieyuan, Find their horses.

At this time, Mrs. Xuan Pinghou and Han Jingshu were also escorted by several servants. Although Mrs. Xuanpinghou was older, she was still able to ride a horse as the mistress of the general's family. To be on the safe side, Ye Ling called Han Jingshu and Mrs. Xuan Pinghou rode the same horse, and they walked out of the side door through the courtyard. Han Ziyun was already waiting with a team of guards.

The entire hotel area was full of noise and chaos. They were all startled by the flames. Many people ran out one after another to look around. Ye Chu and his party left the Han's courtyard amidst the red flames in the palace, and went straight to the big hall at the foot of the mountain. camp to go.

When they arrived at Daying, they were properly placed in a spacious tent. It was learned that Zhang Wenxuan had personally led 1000 people up the mountain to rescue them and fight the fire, while the remaining 1000 people stayed on guard at the foot of the mountain.

Ye Ling knew that the girl was timid, and she was raised by His Majesty in the palm of her hand for more than ten years, protecting her tightly. No matter what happened, Ye Ling was always worried that she would be frightened.However, the little girl kept silent all the way, and after entering the tent, she just sat there silently, holding a cup of tea in her hand and her face turned pale.

Han Jingshu said: "Sister, don't worry, brother is so powerful, he will definitely be fine."

Can you not worry, Ye Chuqiang smiled and said: "Yes, I am not worried, my brother is the most powerful."

Mrs. Xuan Pinghou didn't know the details at the moment, and she guessed in her heart that this girl Ye might have an amazing identity, and that it was related to the edict of Han Ziyun, which even her own mother didn't dare to tell.And Han Ziyun, who was guarding the tent door with his sword in person, smiled wryly in his heart. He, a silly daughter, kept calling the emperor his elder brother. Apart from this Miss Ye, there was probably no one else in the world. He was really ignorant and fearless.

The palace and Qingliang Hall were on fire fiercely, and the scorching air smelled of kerosene and burning objects. Under the light of the fire, many guards and hundreds of black-clothed killers fought together, swords and swords were like shadows.

Now it seems that these killers must have sneaked in from the tunnel secretly, and knowing the topographical layout of the palace, they appeared around Qingliang Hall like ghosts, and the imperial guards were caught off guard. Some of the iron armored guards went straight to the main hall of Qingliang Hall, set fires everywhere with the kerosene they carried, and concentrated their hands to guard the surrounding area of ​​Qingliang Hall to prevent people from escaping from the hall.

It seems that it has been planned for a long time and fully prepared. This is to burn the emperor alive in the Qingliang Palace.

Xie Dan was dressed in black, with a tall and straight figure standing proudly on the slope of a garden landscaping, looking down at the many figures who were fighting in a group not far away, and Zhang Wenyu who led his troops to come.His face was condensed in the night, and the firelight reflected the cruel glint in his eyes.

Xie Dan coldly said to Fang Qing who was beside him: "Send me an order, don't put out the fire, let it burn, and concentrate on killing these people first, Zhang Wenxuan and the people in front of the imperial court concentrate on killing the assassins, and the armored guards only guard the outside of the palace, Close the gate of the palace tightly, and no one is allowed to escape."

"Yes." As soon as Fang Qing bowed, several guards split up to deliver the order.

Xie Tan put his hand on the hilt of the sword and looked down coldly, trying to kill him, it's not that easy.

The Chu family worked hard, but they didn't know that the emperor didn't live in Qingliang Hall at all. He lived in Yuqianzhai all the time, and Qingliang Hall was only used by him to deal with political affairs. An empty hall.

In this arson, only a few guards rushed into the hall to rescue the important items on the imperial case and suffered some burns, and it was nothing more than burning down an empty hall.

The palace was built in the mountains, and the place is spacious. There are large gardens and open spaces between the palaces and palaces. There is no need to worry about the fire spreading to other places. Chen Lianjiang immediately ordered all the palace people to evacuate the palace. For the two adjacent palaces and the attached palaces where the surrounding palaces live, Xie Dan ordered that there is no need to put out the fire, as the fire is so fierce that it is useless to save it, let it burn.

At this moment, the Qingliang Hall was like a huge torch, illuminating half of the palace, making the night of Yingshan red, and illuminating the killers and guards who were fighting together.

Although the killers were well-trained and succeeded in a surprise attack, their number was much smaller than that of Yuqian and Zhang Wenyu. They soon fell into a disadvantage and were beheaded by the guards one by one. The injured killers who survived did not wait to be captured. , he bit the poison in his mouth and killed himself.

"Go, tell them to try to save a few lives." Fang Qing ordered in a low voice.

"There's no need to bother." Xie Dan said calmly, "These people are specially raised killers, and they may not even know who their real masters are, as long as I know."

Who else but the Chu family.

It seems that there is still a loophole in the palace, someone must have spread the news, but obviously the person who spread the news should be on the periphery, and they don't know the details of the palace change.The Empress Dowager has been imprisoned by him in the Palace of Funing, and there are guards who are not far away from him. The palace servants who are close to the Palace of Funing were detained that night. The person who sent the news has no way of knowing that Xie Dan and the Empress Dowager have long been plotting against each other. Seeing that the card is paralyzed, the Chu family should have received the news of changes in the palace, and they are desperate. This is planning to get rid of the emperor with a fire at night, and also want to hide their fox tail and separate themselves from their Chu family. .After all, as long as the Empress Dowager survives, they can adopt a yellow-mouthed child from their clan, control the government, and continue the wealth and splendor of their Chu clan.

These suicide killers died in vain.The Chu family has no secrets to keep.

Xie Dan sneered in his heart, the Chu family's trump card should be revealed, but his layout has been fully in place in the past two days, he has written the imperial decree for house raids, and thousands of armored guards will search it in the morning The Chu family, including its followers Yang family, Kong family, Mu family, and Wang family, will separately search the other courtyards of each family in Yingshan and the mansion in the capital. The 3000 troops sent by the Gyeonggi Daying camp will surround and wipe out the Chu family and raise private soldiers in the suburbs of Beijing. Zhuangzi.

Beheading in one fell swoop, leaving a few young people, is nothing to worry about.

Xie Dan looked at the few killers left below, corpses were scattered all over the floor.He curled the corners of his lips indifferently, and ordered: "Tomorrow, order the armored guards to search the entire palace carefully. There must be some secret passage in the palace. I have to dig three feet to find it."

***

The fire in the palace burned until dawn, and the people at the foot of Mount Ying were panicked and in chaos.

In the early morning, the sun still rose, and the first ray of bright morning light projected on the camp at the foot of the mountain. Ye Chu lay on the bed but did not fall asleep all night.She washed up briefly and walked out of the tent door. Han Ziyun was holding a sword and leading someone to guard the door. Seeing her coming out, she hurriedly bowed.

Ye Chu was slightly startled, and hurriedly asked, "Master Han, why are you guarding here?"

Han Ziyun bowed his head respectfully and said: "This is a military camp after all, I am afraid that others will not know, and if I bump into the girl."

"Thank you, Mr. Han."

Han Ziyun said hastily: "Miss is serious, it's all a matter of mediocrity."

Ye Chu walked out of the tent, looked at the palace in the mountains and asked Ye Ling and Ye Hui: "Can we go back and have a look now?"

"Girl, don't worry, we will accompany you up the mountain."

Han Ziyun bowed and said, "Miss, just received the news from the mountain that the door of the palace has been opened, and I will escort the girl up the mountain."

Ye Chu felt that Han Ziyun spoke strangely, how could he be a minister, but she didn't care about it at all at the moment, so Ye Chu was accompanied by Ye Ling and Ye Hui, and Han Ziyun led a team of soldiers to escort him, and rode to the place on horseback. Come up the mountain.

The camp is at the foot of the mountain, farther away than the hotel. A group of people walked along the road. Although there was no fire in the other courtyard area of ​​the hotel, it was still in chaos. I am afraid that all the houses and houses did not close their eyes overnight. There are many people waiting in darkness.

Han Ziyun and the escorting soldiers could not enter the palace casually, they all dismounted in front of the palace gate to guard, Ye Hui and Ye Ling also dismounted and followed on foot, Ye Chu was full of anxiety at the moment, just wanted to hurry to find his brother, and rode his horse without distraction enter the palace.

Entering the gate of the palace, a large group of civil and military officials in red robes and purple robes stood in the open space, anxiously waiting for news from the palace, seeing Ye Chu coming in, many people looked sideways at her.

How could this woman dare to ride a horse in the palace, and the guards on duty turned a blind eye?But the atmosphere was not right at the moment, and the ministers didn't want to take care of her too much.

The emperor had been poisoned for several days and hadn't shown up for several days. There was another night of fire in the palace, and there were still faint shouts of killing. with news.The courtiers were worried about the emperor. If something happened to the emperor suddenly, the country would be in chaos, and there would be disputes all over the world, and people would die.

All of this has nothing to do with Ye Chu. Although she was surprised by the crowd, she didn't care about it right now. She rode a pony straight forward along the palace road, and the Qingliang Hall in front of her was burned to nothing but a gray and black ruin. In some places, there is still a little bit of blue smoke occasionally. A group of guards are carrying buckets to check and patrol, put out the remaining fire and clean up the ruins. The whole Qingliang Hall looks shocking.

Qingliang Hall is the residence of the Son of Heaven, so it's no wonder that all the civil and military officials looked panic-stricken, and several veteran officials were already pale and began to secretly wipe the tears from their eyes.

Chen Lianjiang walked over with his whisk in his hand and his face upright. He was going to deliver a message to the waiting ministers, but when he saw Ye Chu coming on a pony, his expression changed immediately. With a bright smile on his face, Tsukuru ran over in small steps, saluted and said with a smile, "Oh, girl, you are back, oh, it's great, the girl is safe, as long as the girl is safe!"

"Mr. Chen, where is my brother? Is he alright?" Ye Chu asked, and when he looked up, he saw Xie Dan's tall and straight figure walking towards this side.

Ye Chu was overjoyed and shouted happily: "Brother!"

Xie Dan heard the sound and looked at him, his eyes softened, and he stopped with a smile on his face, watching Ye Chu riding a pony, running towards him quickly, a few steps in front of him, the little girl slid off the horse, and jumped towards him with a smile.

Xie Dan opened his arms to catch her, the little girl threw her arms around his neck, then jumped into his arms, hugged the back of his neck and buried her head on his shoulder, she didn't speak for a long time.

Xie Dan tightly hugged the little girl in his arms, supported her with one hand, hugged her back with the other, pressed the back of her head and hugged her neck, and did not speak for a while.It was only two or three days since I hadn't seen him, but now he hugged her tightly in his arms, and he felt a sense of regaining what was lost, and his heart was particularly touched for a while.

"It's all right, are you scared?" He patted the back of her head and asked softly.

"Yeah." The little girl tried her best to restrain herself in front of others, but now she was in her brother's arms, she couldn't help it all at once, tears quickly filled her eyes, she blinked hard, and complained with a grievance: " You scared me to death, brother, I'm so worried about you."

"It's okay, be good, don't cry." Xie Dan comforted her softly, "Look, isn't it all right? If you don't believe me, count it, there is not a single hair missing."

The little girl laughed through tears, with teardrops still hanging on her eyelashes, she looked up and held his face, and said with a smile, "Let me see."

Xie Dan's heart was extremely soft, he held her firmly with both hands, and let her two small hands pinch and pat his face.

"It's fine, you're not scared, are you crying?" Xie Dan said.

"It's okay." The little girl actually sniffled and said, "I didn't cry, and you weren't in front of me, and there was no one to coax me when I cried, so who should I cry for?"

Xie Dan couldn't help laughing softly, and lovingly pressed his forehead against hers, Ye Chu also pressed his forehead back and forth against him, the two of them pressed their foreheads together, and giggled together.

"Your Majesty, please see Your Majesty, Your Majesty is safe, Your Majesty is safe and well, long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"

The waiting civil and military officials couldn't tell what their expressions were at this moment. They watched the emperor come out, and saw the beautiful girl rushing over to hang on the emperor.

The emperor is intact!This cognition quickly crowded out everything else, a large group of clan courtiers rushed over in ecstasy, and threw themselves on the ground to pay respects. Some of the veterans were already weeping with joy, and the voice of ecstasy became louder and louder.

"Long live my emperor, long live my emperor! God bless my emperor, God bless Da Zhou, long live my emperor!"

Ye Chu patted her elder brother's face only to be happy, she came back to her senses, and heard the sound of shouting "Long live", she turned her head and looked at the large group of civil and military ministers kneeling on the ground in front of her, and was stunned. , the small mouth was slightly opened, and the small face looked at Xie Dan in a daze.

what's going on?
