Chapter 614: Chestnut in the Fire
()
Xufeng Chenhui sat on the wheeled cart and was pushed by the palace maid to the mourning hall.
He dismissed those who served on the left and right, and told them to close the doors.
After only his and his father's coffins were left in the hall, he slowly got up and limped to the side of the coffin.
stared blankly at his father.
Xufeng Chenhui hesitated for a long time, but still reached out to probe his father's snort.
After confirming that this time he was really dead, Xufeng Chenhui's eyes became mournful.
He picked up the bowl of oil from the table and carefully added the oil lamp.
"Father," Xufeng Chenhui said with a smirk, "For my son, this is the second time you have died—but it seems that this time our father and son are really separated by heaven and earth." ”
Xufeng Chenhui's words echoed in the hall, and he didn't get any reply.
"Tomorrow the military officials will come to mourn for my father, and my father's life will be considered a complete merit," he continued to say to himself, "but the mess left by my father will have to be cleaned up by someone - the son will do his best, but he will still rely on the protection of his father's spirit in heaven." ”
Saying that, Xufeng Chenhui knelt down with difficulty and kowtowed to the coffin.
Then he took a piece of the fold from his bosom and unfolded it on the floor in front of him.
"This book was only delivered in the past few days, respectively, the Qi family of Xilin Shu State conspired to eliminate the Liu and Li families, and attempted to monopolize the political affairs of the Shu State; Ma Si Guo transferred troops to the border with the intention of invading our original again; and the rebels of Shanghu City asked for recruitment," Xu Feng Chenhui stared at the chapter for a while after speaking, "If it is replaced by my father, what will I do?"
When the new emperor brought up this question, he didn't expect a reply from anyone.
And in reality, no one can reply to his words.
"The Western Forest Shu Kingdom, the Eastern Desert Horse Silk Country, and the internal troubles, this test left by the father to his son is really 'extraordinary'. Xufeng Chenhui smiled bitterly, his expression was restrained, and he got up and put away the folds, "Presumably, my father should have met with my eldest brother over there, so please wait and see, my son will not only pass these 'tests', but also make Xufeng's family more vast." ”
At this moment, the eunuch shouted eagerly from outside the house: "Your Majesty! The big thing is not good! The big thing is not good! The palace is on fire!"
Xufeng Chenhui bowed slightly to the coffin and sat back on the wheeled car.
"Don't shout, someone," a few palace maids opened the door of the hall, moved to the back of the wheeled cart in small steps, and pushed Xufeng Chenhui out of the mourning hall, as soon as he went out, the new emperor saw smoke billowing not far away, "Where is the fire?"
"It's Tianyunshu. ”
"How's the fire?"
"It's so fierce that it's almost impossible to extinguish, but it hasn't affected other parts of the palace yet. The eunuch replied.
"That's okay, hasn't Tianyunshu been in and out for a long time, how could there be a sudden fire," Xufeng Chenhui thought for a moment before ordering, "Bring the guards who are on duty in Tianyunshu today." ”
"Yes!"
Far from abating, the smoke worsened, and even the Emperor could smell a smell of mush.
After a while, the eunuch came running panting, with one of the guards.
"Wechen knocked on the emperor. The guards almost crawled to the ground in front of Xufeng Chenhui.
"How did you start the fire?" the Emperor asked without saying a word.
"It was burned from the inner courtyard, and there were several fires in an instant, and the fire was so fierce that it was too late to extinguish it. ”
The emperor turned his eyes to look at the eunuch and asked, "Tianyun Shuke is still lighting an oil lamp?"
"Back to Your Majesty, since Lord Jia left the palace until today, Yunshu has not had the slightest source of fire," the eunuch suddenly thought of something, and replied, "Ah, the slave forgot, the only place to place the corpse of Lord Hongmist, and according to Lord Jia's orders, there is an oil lamp every day." ”
Xufeng Chenhui suddenly realized, as if he had understood the reason.
"Your Majesty, you have to send more people to put out the fire!" the guard reminded.
Xufeng Chenhui shook his head and sighed: "Just wait for it to burn, you don't have to put out the fire, just do a good job of protection around, don't let the fire burn out of Tianyun Shu, from now on there will be no Tianyun Shu in the harem." ”
Although the emperor's decision stunned the minions, no one asked any more questions, and they all received the will.
"Also, let the Guards send a few more guards to guard the imperial study today. ”
Sunrise was convinced that the fire had been set by Jas, and that Jas would come to him soon.
But his worries were not only superfluous, but also useless.
The fire in Tianyunshu burned for a day and a night, and the sky over the entire capital was covered with a layer of 'black clouds', and the city could also smell the smell of charcoal ash.
It was not until the early morning of the next day that the fire rarely subsided.
However, Jas never showed up to look for Dawnlight.
Peaks and Dawnlight didn't know if he should be glad — at least for now that Jas didn't give him any more trouble — but it would always be a knot in his heart.
"Your Majesty, Tianyun Shu's fire is weakening and will soon be able to be extinguished. ”
"Tell me not to extinguish the fire, until it burns out by itself, and no one is allowed to enter Tianyunshu to rummage or clean it up for the time being—violators will be punished as offenders. "The new emperor's decision is to show Jas.
