Chapter 255: The Fire Burns Dry
Just as Shuying was breathing, the eunuch who stabbed Shuying also made Jiaqing angry.
It's just that Donglin has already dismissed a large number of forbidden troops, even if his martial arts are high, but the night is boundless, how can he always be able to follow the fleeing people.
The man was in good shape and was extremely familiar with the area around Yuqing Palace.
Just as Donglin was chasing the eunuch, Sibao and Jingxu also arrived.
Sibao assaulted Su Su, who was ventilating and reporting the news, and found out that the eunuch in the palace was Hao Shitong, the eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, so he hurried over.
Jing Xu took a team of people and hurriedly went to the Qianqing Palace with Donglin.
It's just that if you want to search the Qianqing Palace, it is a huge project, and there are countless collections in the Qianqing Palace alone.
First of all, Jing Xu and Sai Chong Ah went together to ask the Emperor Taishang to move, at this time, they were not sure what Hao Shitong would do, and they couldn't take a little risk.
After that, Jiaqing strictly ordered the forbidden army to capture Hao Shitong alive.
"Search! Search for me! Donglin shouted, and the guards rushed in.
"Your Majesty, this Hao Shitong has been in the palace for many years, and he has always been honest before, I heard the chief eunuch say that this person's only hobby is gambling, I am afraid that the lard will be blinded, because money has been bewitched." Sibao stood tremblingly behind Jiaqing, even if he was half a meter away, Sibao also trembled, only to feel Jiaqing's anger.
Jiaqing didn't speak.
But he's also thinking.
Where did Liu Tianxie, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, go, Jiaqing always thought about this question.
"How's that palace maid's interrogation?" Jiaqing turned his head and asked Donglin.
Donglin bowed his head and said, "I have been tortured, and I have been tight-lipped all the time." ”
Hum.
Jiaqing snorted disdainfully, "Then use the last method, I won't believe it, and I can't pry her mouth open!" ”
Donglin's face sank, "Yes." Where is Shu Chang? ”
Jiaqing knew Donglin's concerns, so he said to him: "You should do what you do, you should do your own, it's just to use, and it doesn't have a big impact." ”
Jiaqing doesn't want to say more, everyone has worked hard until now, and they can't fall short because of soft-heartedness, the more critical the moment, the more they must keep the principle in their hearts.
Donglin got the order and decided to go in person.
And what Jiaqing and others have not dared to take their eyes off is the emergency situation in front of them.
Jing Su commanded the personnel to search, and the guards reported that nothing was gained.
"Search carefully! Don't miss out! Jing Su was a little uneasy, and the longer this time passed, the harder it was to predict what this man would do.
Suddenly.
A guard galloped and said excitedly, "Lord Hui, I found it." ”
An excite, "Where?" ”
The guards pointed out the specific location, and Jing Xu did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly reported to the emperor and arranged for someone to deal with it.
This matter was only experienced by a few people present at the time, and everyone must not be known, otherwise, the rebels have all hit the palace, and once this matter is reported, it will be the most shameful.
Jiaqing went over with the salute.
When he saw that Hao Shitong, he seemed to be extremely calm, where did he look like a person who was about to assassinate, if he hadn't just experienced it himself, Jiaqing would have wondered if he had taken Hao Shitong to blame.
Jing Xu opened his mouth and reprimanded: "Say! Who, exactly, is contacting you? Such a great crime of rebellion should be beheaded to show the public and exterminate the nine clans! If you are willing to cooperate, the emperor is merciful and can spare you a whole corpse! ”
Originally, it was to persuade him to surrender, but Hao Shitong did not repent, and even laughed three times, and his bitterness flowed, "All corpses? Nine Clans? Your Majesty, you are truly a great emperor! It's just that the whole family of the slave starved to death under the roots of the imperial city, and they were forced to enter the palace as a last resort, do they care about the whole corpse? They are right, corrupt officials are rampant in the Qing Dynasty, and the people are not able to make a living, and if they do not rebel and eradicate the roots, they will not be able to solve the problem at any time. ”
Jing Xu was quite surprised, this Hao Shitong seemed to be full of grievances.
"Presumptuous! The rebellion has already killed the head, and you dare to talk nonsense! Jing Su whispered.
Hao Shitong looked up to the sky and sighed, "I'm not afraid of death, it's just that I will make you feel distressed when I die!" Always remember! ”
Jing Xu was about to ask what it meant, but he saw that Hao Shitong actually bit his tongue and committed suicide......
There was nothing to gain here, but fortunately, someone caught it.
It's just that Jing Shu is faintly worried in his heart, and he always feels that something will happen.
The guards of the forbidden army had just withdrawn, and Jing Xu was about to keep vigil to check the situation by himself, when he suddenly heard someone shouting: "It's water!" Walk the water! ”
Jing Xu didn't even have time to put on his clothes, looking in that direction, it seemed to be the Qianqing Palace.
It's broken, Qianqing Palace, that's the place where the ancestors left the most collections......
The fire of the Qianqing Palace reflected half of the Forbidden City, and the overwhelming sound proved the curiosity outside the red wall and green tiles.
Without exception, they all felt that this fire was unusual.
The Minister of Internal Affairs Yonglang, Hekun, Fu Chang'an, Fengshen Yinde, Wenbu, and Sheng Zhu reported when the early dynasty played, the fire first ignited from the Nanmu lattice of the east side of the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, and then ignited the Qianqing Palace, and quickly extended the Hongde and Zhaoren halls on the left and right sides, and the Jiaotai Hall on the back side, it was early winter, the weather was dry, and the fire was extremely fierce, and the palace governor of the Internal Affairs Department Prince Yi Yonglang led the officials, soldiers, and eunuchs to try their best to put out the fire, but the fire was very fierce, Even the eaves of the Kunning Palace behind the Jiaotai Palace were scorched by fire, but fortunately, the northwest wind rose to save it from the disaster.
After hearing this, Qianlong and Jiaqing were heartbroken and felt sorry for this "treasure" of the Qing Dynasty.
And Hao Shitong's "dying words" also touched the hearts of the two high-ranking kings, if they were not resentful, how to do this matter of punishing the nine clans.
After that, Qianlong issued an edict on his guilt, and the internal affairs government praised the chief eunuchs and eunuchs who actively fought the fire, and rewarded the five chief eunuchs who tried their best to get water to fight the fire, each of them was rewarded with 1 small roll of silk satin, and the other 21 eunuchs were each rewarded with 2 taels of silver.
Jiaqing knew the reason for the fire. But if you are stuck in your throat, you can't say anything, and you are naturally in an unhappy mood.
The charcoal fire in Yuqing Palace has not stopped, but Jiaqing still feels windy.
"Four Treasures." Jiaqing leaned over and leaned on the soft collapse.
Sibao hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Majesty." ”
"Light another charcoal fire."
"Yes." Sibao hurriedly went down and commanded.
Then he said to Su Qing: "Lord Su persuaded the emperor to mourn, and the slave was worried about the emperor's dragon body." ”
Su Qing smmmmed for a moment, this matter can only be solved by pulling out Jiaqing's thorn in the heart.
"Sit." Jiaqing raised his hand.
Su Qing saluted and said, "Thank you, Emperor." ”
"There have been a lot of things going on in the palace recently, and I'm a little tired." Jiaqing sighed slightly.
Su Qing said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Weichen has thought of a plan to capture Liu Tianxie alive!" ”
……
"Say!" Jiaqing looked at Su Qing with both eyes, and listened to it in his ears and heart......
