Xia Yan didn't know that Yang Cong was preparing to set fire to his tent, he was really proud of himself these days, Zhang Xuan fell ill unexpectedly, he was only half a step away from the first assistant of the cabinet, and the emperor had already put him in charge of cabinet affairs at this time, could he be unhappy.

In recent years, some people have fought for power for profit, and some people have fought for fame.

Of course, Xia Yan doesn't think that he is for fame and fortune, he still thinks in his heart that he is trying his best to climb up for the country and the people, but when it comes to really climbing to the top, he can't help but be fascinated by this fame and fortune.

This is about to be the first assistant of the cabinet, and then it will be one person under ten thousand people, what a scenery, what a glory!

He couldn't help but smile smugly when he wrote the ticket, this is already the last night of the return trip, perhaps, when the day after tomorrow, when the early dynasty is reopened, the emperor will announce in front of the civil and military officials that he will be the first assistant of the cabinet.

I'm looking forward to it!

He was satisfied with the last ticket, sorted out the folds, then blew out the oil lamp, got into the bed, and slowly fell asleep.

That night, just after the hour, a team of brocade guards suddenly appeared near Xia Yan's tent.

They seemed to be patrolling, but they didn't walk around with neat steps, and they didn't know if they found something unusual or what's wrong, they actually touched the outside of Xia Yan's tent one by one on their tiptoes and silently.

These people are naturally Lu Bing's cronies, they were ordered to set fire, if they were asked to set fire to the emperor's tent, they would naturally not dare, but they still dared to burn Xia Yan's tent.

As for how to set fire to Xia Yan's tent, they had planned in detail before they came, and when they came to the vicinity of Xia Yan's tent, they quickly moved away, and the leading Xiaoqi waved his hand, and several people scattered ghostly, and then the leading Xiaoqi took the remaining few people into the kitchen next to Xia Yan's tent.

This kitchen is actually a small open shed, which is set up on the left side of the tent where Xia Yan sleeps, one side is close to Xia Yan's tent, and the other side is open, there is not even a curtain, and the furnishings inside are also very simple, just a stove made of stones and a simple small wooden table.

At this moment, water was boiling in the iron pot on the stove, and the fire below had not been extinguished, but it had been covered with ashes, and the open flame could not be seen.

I saw that the little flag cat bent down, gently put down a big stone behind the stove, and took out an iron drill to gently remove the ashes on the fire, revealing the open flame inside, and then took a small cloth bag handed over by the subordinates next to him, poured all the charcoal in the cloth bag on the fire, and blew it lightly for a while, until the charcoal fire was burning, he stood up, waved his hand, and took all his subordinates silently into the night.

This guy, as soon as the stones behind the stove were put down by him, there was no shelter between the fire and the tent behind it, and the charcoal fire was already burning vigorously, and the evening breeze blew gently, and the flames slowly licked towards the tent, and after a few licks, the tent behind it caught fire.

It was already the dead of night at this time, and all the officials were already asleep, who would have known that Xia Yan had caught fire here, and even Xia Yan himself didn't know it.

The tent where the official lived was originally a simple tarpaulin tent, and it was a big deal if it caught fire, and it didn't take long for the fire to swallow up the entire kitchen, and half of the tent where Xia Yan slept was also swallowed up by the flames.

At this time, the flames were nearly a foot high, and the Jinyi guards who were "patrolling" in the distance naturally saw it, and the small flag shouted "It's a fire, it's a fire, put out the fire", and rushed over with his subordinates.

Suddenly, the whole camp exploded, and almost all the officials rushed out of the bed and looked nervously at their tents.

At this time, Xia Yan was naturally awakened, he opened his eyes and saw that he was lying down, his eyes were full of fire, what was wrong?

Before he could figure out what was going on, a dark shadow rushed in from outside and shouted, "Lord Xia, are you okay?" ”

Immediately, he ran outside with him on his shoulders!

Xia Yan was already frightened at this moment, and he didn't think much about it, he was still there after being carried out of the tent, fortunately, these brocade guards came quickly, otherwise he didn't know if he would be burned to death, and the flames were almost going to swallow his tent at this time.

Fortunately, there were a lot of brocade guards on duty, and there were a lot of them on duty at night, and as soon as the flames broke up here, there were several teams of brocade guards carrying buckets in the distance and gathered quickly, and dozens of buckets were splashed on them, and the fire was quickly extinguished, but it did not affect the tents of other officials nearby.

At this time, Jiajing in the distant imperial tent was also awakened, he got up with a bone, looked around nervously, and then said angrily: "What's the matter." ”

When Lu Bing, who was guarding outside the tent, heard this, he hurriedly opened the tent door and ran in and said, "Back to the emperor, it was the tent on the side of the accompanying officials that caught fire." ”

It turned out to be a fire, but it was not a big deal, the fire was too normal these years, and even the palace had lost fire several times, as long as it didn't burn itself.

He got up calmly and asked lightly, "How is the situation, is the burn serious?" ”

Lu Bing hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the dragon robe to help Jiajing put it on, and then replied: "The fire seems to have been extinguished, Wechen is worried about the emperor's safety, so I didn't go over to see, what the specific situation is, Wechen doesn't know yet." ”

Or is his brother loyal, Jiajing patted him on the shoulder and said with relief: "Well, it's good to put it out, you go outside and ask if you have burned anyone." ”

When Lu Bing heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand and retreated.

Soon, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and then Lu Bingzhong's angry voice sounded: "What's the panic, what's the situation over there?" ”

Another voice wheezed slightly: "Lord Hui, it is Lord Xia Yanxia's tent that is on fire, and we have already extinguished the fire." ”

Lu Bing then asked: "Lord Xia is fine, why did it catch fire, have you found out?" ”

Another voice replied in detail: "Lord Xia is fine, we have rescued him, my subordinates investigated carefully, and found that a stone behind the stove fell, it may have been stabbed down when Lord Xia added firewood, and the fire in the stove does not seem to be tightly covered, it is estimated that Martian Zi was blown to the tent by the wind." ”

Lu Bing nodded, waved his subordinates away, and then opened the door curtain and walked into the imperial tent*** hand and said: "Your Majesty, it was Lord Xia's tent that caught fire, but fortunately, Lord Xia is fine." ”

Jiajing had actually heard it clearly, he nodded, and said kindly: "Well, it's okay, it's okay, you can retreat first, and I will sleep for a while." ”

Xia Yanren was fine, but the more than ten copies he had approved that night were burned out.

This guy, losing official documents is a big crime, and what kind of crime is it if all the pieces are burned?

After Jiajing found out, although he did not investigate Xia Yan's dismissal, he taught him a hard lesson.

Your guy is too unreliable, you can't even watch the twists and turns, this post is handed over to you, can I rest assured?

Xia Yan is so wronged.

This time, he planted it inexplicably, and he didn't even know that someone else was deliberately manipulating him!
