Chapter 264: Walking Water (2)

The hall was dull and abnormal, and the most embarrassing thing was Amin.

At this moment, Amin is waiting for a sinful body, and what to do with it in the end is still inconclusive, he can still only stand alone in the main hall, and his heart is extremely restless.

At the insistence of Huang Taiji, he was beheaded for the crime, and at the last moment, it was Huang Taiji who came forward again and pleaded with everyone for him, although Zhu Beile Beizi and Taiji have not yet made a final statement, but this life should be saved.

Although the price of this life is a little unacceptable, not only lost all power and status, but also lost freedom for the rest of his life, at first, Amin thought that he would never be able to accept this ending, "a big husband can't be without power for a day", rather than living like this, it is better to die.

After Huang Taiji said that he would spare his life and be imprisoned for life, Amin's first thought was to crash and die on the pillar of the Chongzheng Palace, not only to preserve his last dignity, but also to disgust Huang Taiji.

It's just that the only death through the ages is difficult, looking at the pillar that can only be hugged by those few people, Amin subconsciously shrank his head, this pillar looks hard and abnormal, how painful it is to hit it, what should I do if I can't die at once?

As soon as these few thoughts turned, Amin's desire for death was gone, and Huang Taiji, who he couldn't look down on before, but hated abnormality, actually gave birth to a trace of fear and gratitude that he hadn't even noticed.

After half a pillar of incense, Huang Taiji, who seemed to be calm, couldn't sit still, how the fire was, whether it was extinguished or not, there was no information at all, which made him feel disgraced.

"Someone!" Huang Taiji suppressed his anger and shouted.

It was the eunuch who walked in just now, "Great Khan! ”

"How's the fire in the Imperial Dining Room now?"

"Great Khan, the fire has not expanded..."

Huang Taiji breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect the eunuch to continue, "But... But it hasn't gotten any smaller. ”

Huang Taiji is so angry in his heart, you are deliberately trying to tease me.

"Rice bucket!" Huang Taiji finally lost his breath a little, "For such a long time, there is no effect at all!" ”

"Huh... "According to the people in the imperial dining room, there is a lot of butter and mutton fat in the kitchen, which is difficult to extinguish with water alone, and many of the guards have gone to find sand, so... There is still a shortage of manpower to extinguish the fire. ”

The fire ignited by grease is difficult to extinguish with water alone, and this Huang Taiji also knows, "Where do they go to find sand?" ”

"The guards didn't dare to leave the palace, just... In the palace, pry open the soil dug by the green bricks. The eunuch knelt on the ground and secretly glanced at Huang Taiji.

When Huang Taiji heard this, his heart ached, and the flat ground in the palace had just been paved with green bricks for a few days, and finally he had some royal style, and it was destroyed again.

However, he also knew that this was the best measure to fight the fire at the moment, and if he went out of the palace to find sand, not to mention the delay in time, it would also disrupt the order of the palace.

"Great Khan, why don't we go out and have a look?" Big Belle Daishan smiled and arched his hand at Huang Taiji, "This on-the-spot command is better than sending a message." ”

Huang Taiji's goal tonight was basically achieved, and Dai Shan was powerless to stop it, he just wanted to see what this fire was burning into, and try to see if he could find an opportunity from it to hit Huang Taiji's prestige a little.

"A small fire, how can it be worth our presence at the scene." Huang Taiji saw Dai Shan's purpose, how could he give him the slightest chance, and refused without hesitation, but if he couldn't extinguish the fire as soon as possible, then he would be embarrassed.

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji felt that the Chongzheng Hall was not big, although the guards were strict, but the number of guards was not large, and it would not play much role to fight the fire, and if he wanted to extinguish the fire as soon as possible, he had to increase the number of people, and the number of soldiers guarding the stack room was quite large, and it was okay to send some of them to fight the fire.

"Let the children of the two flags guarding the stackhouse also allocate some manpower to put out the fire, and quickly go to the decree, no need to give a salute!" In order to extinguish the fire as soon as possible, Huang Taiji was not even willing to waste the time of the eunuch giving him a gift.

"Huh!" The eunuch answered, and trotted out.

Dai Shan failed to achieve his goal, and he no longer insisted, looking at Huang Taiji's appearance, he was already a little anxious, so let's watch the play first.

Soon, the time of half a pillar of incense passed.

The eunuch panted and ran into the main hall, "Great Khan, good... The good news is that the fire has been brought under control after the increase in manpower, and again... With half a pillar of incense, it is estimated that the fire will be extinguished. ”

Huang Taiji finally put his heart down completely, and there was a slight smile on his tense face, "Well, I know, let's go down and wait." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's move on." Huang Taiji coughed twice and cleared his throat, "Where did you just go?" ”

"Great Khan, you said that you would pardon the capital crime of Erbele." Duoduo reminded in a low voice.

"Oh, yes, yes," Huang Taiji said with a sudden realization, "Everyone... Do you have any comments? ”

Since Azig didn't kill Amin, everyone's resistance was not so great, and Azig, one of the four little Baylors, got up from his seat, clenched his fists, and was about to open his mouth to agree to the final disposition of Amin, when he fanned his nose and took a few quick breaths, as if he smelled something strange.

"What does it smell like? It smells so bad! Not only Azig, but many other people also smelled it, and they couldn't help but say it in a hurry.

Huang Taiji's face changed slightly, this special fishy smell, he had smelled it, he knew what it meant, it couldn't be the sulfur in the stackhouse burning! God forbid, don't...

Things in the world are often so strange, at this moment, the famous Murphy's Law - the more you worry about something happening, the more likely it is to happen - faithfully played its effect, Huang Taiji's prayer was not finished, there was a loud "boom" outside the Chongzheng Palace, which shook the ground, the butter candles in the hall were crooked, and in the swaying firelight, several people stood unsteadily, and sat on the ground with a "poof".

Then the outside of the hall was bright, as bright as day, and the fishy smell just now was even stronger, and the direction was the side of the stackhouse.

Amin reacted the fastest, and when the sound first started, he half-squatted on the ground, which was similar to the shelling of the Ming army in Guannai.

Dai Shan, Mang Gurtai and Azig and others lagged behind a little, but they were also soon half-subdued to the ground, as if facing a great enemy, they did not suffer less losses from the Ming army's artillery.

Huang Taiji remained motionless, still sitting upright in the chair, not because he didn't know how to dodge, but because he knew that this was not an artillery bombardment, so he didn't want to lose his honor in front of the palace.

The eunuch waiting outside the hall rolled in again, "Great Khan, no... Oh no, over there..."

"I still need you to say," Huang Taiji stood up with a gloomy face, "I am not blind or deaf." ”
