In the Weiyang Palace, Li Biao, the Son of Heaven, raised the cup in his hand and raised his hand to everyone, "All Aiqing drink this cup together, the Han Dynasty will be prosperous and eternal, and the spring and autumn will last forever!" ”

The envoys of various countries and the civil and military officials present all stood up, and raised the cup above their heads with shaky hands, "Prosperity and eternal solidity, spring and autumn for ten thousand years!" ”

"Drink!"

"Ignition!"

Xue Li, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, waved with both hands, and everyone under his command walked to the side of the stage according to the scheduled time, where the last program of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was piled up, the fireworks feast, and 72 cars of fireworks were specially entrusted to be transported by the state guard, in order to be the perfect curtain call of the birthday banquet.

At this moment, everyone in Weiyang Palace is looking forward to it, after all, the last time such a grand fireworks feast was at the celebration banquet after the suppression of the Nanyu riot ten years ago, it has been more than ten years since today, Xue Li, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, also wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, after three months of preparation, it is about to end successfully, and the pressure in his heart can finally be removed, and the corners of his mouth grinned unconsciously.

No one knew that at the side door of Weiyang Palace at this moment, several figures quietly left the palace, including Zhou Youwei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who escaped by urine.

With a bang, the first fireworks instantly pierced the entire night sky, and the people in Kyoto who had not yet fallen asleep stopped in the streets, looking in the direction of the imperial city, and rejoiced.

"It's coming!" The white-haired old man looked at the sky above the imperial city with a little excitement, his eyes were moist, and his words were full of excitement, "Bao'er, come here, watch the fireworks!" ”

Inside the inner room, the little boy jumped out and snuggled up to the white-haired old man's knees, his eyes shining.

"Bang, bang, bang......" several fireworks bloomed in the night sky, instantly illuminating the entire imperial city with bright lights, like the day, the bright fireworks, just like the desire in the bottom of people's hearts, were released in an instant, and everyone was immersed in it, all sighed.

With a "bang", the gate of Weiyang Palace fell to the ground.

"Wait...... Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......"

Wei Jingshang was outside the gate of Weiyang Palace, and saw the bright fireworks in the night sky, as a general of Zhenbei who fought on the battlefield all year round, he had already seen the power of gunpowder as early as ten years ago when he fought with Goguryi, and at this moment he suddenly had some understanding, which made Xu Jianping feel that even General Huo, who was a strong man of the Nine Grades, could not completely get out of the danger, and that there might only be a very large amount of gunpowder. Fireworks, fireworks, gunpowder, is it ......

Wei Jing was in a hurry, stepped directly on his legs, stepped heavily on the bluestone slab, the slate shattered instantly, Wei Jing rose from the ground, waved his hands, and a huge fist wind slammed on the gate of Weiyang Palace, and the gate weighing more than three hundred catties fell to the ground instantly, "The banquet is over, everyone withdraws from Weiyang Palace, fast, fast, fast, ......"

At this moment, in the sky, the explosion of "bang, bang, bang......" The sound of countless fireworks completely overshadowed Wei Jing's voice, only General Huo, who was a nine-rank powerhouse, heard the sound of the gate collapsing, saw something strange, his eyes wrinkled, and he jumped over to Wei Jing, "What's the matter, so panicked!" ”

Wei Jing didn't care about etiquette anymore, and said directly to him loudly, "The imperial city is in trouble, the banquet is terminated, and everyone withdraws from Weiyang Palace, it's gunpowder, gunpowder!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense about this, why do you know?" Although Huo Quzhi knew that Wei Jing was not a person who spoke falsely, the termination of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet at this moment would really damage the face of the Great Han Kingdom, so he asked here with confirmation.

"It's Xu Jianping of the Imperial History Mansion who passed the word!" Wei Jing also informed him directly of the source of the news, and as for how Lord Huo thought about it, he believed in the people he believed.

Huo Quai, as the only ninth-grade powerhouse in the Han Dynasty and the only great Sima, heard this, and immediately understood the seriousness of this matter.

Looking at the bright fireworks in the sky, it is so breathtaking at the moment, it is too late, and I don't care about informing His Majesty again, I am directly lucky, and I don't see how he speaks, but a deafening sound of the flood cave sounds, "The banquet is over, the whole city is under martial law, everyone withdraws from Weiyang Palace, and the Praetorian Guards quickly escort everyone away, quickly, this is a military order!" ”

After that, General Huo Da jumped directly in front of Li Biao, the son of heaven, who did not know why, because he didn't know when the gunpowder would explode, as the first person in the field of armed forces, he was confident that even if tens of thousands of gunpowder exploded, he could protect His Majesty and flee the scene. It's just that the civil and military officials in the field may not be able to do it alone.

"Your Majesty, forgive the ministers for being rude," he said with one hand, he directly grabbed the waist of the Son of Heaven Li Biao, jumped directly onto the eaves of the palace, and quickly evacuated towards the outside of the Weiyang Palace, "General Wei, quickly escort everyone to evacuate the Weiyang Palace!" ”

"Why did you terminate the birthday banquet, why did you evacuate, why did Huo Sima rebel, and dared to kidnap the saint!"

At this moment, there was a mess in Weiyang Palace, no one knew what was going to happen, only that General Huo suddenly went berserk and kidnapped His Majesty, and then ordered everyone to evacuate Weiyang Palace, could it be that there were assassins in Weiyang Palace? Able to threaten the assassin who was as strong as Jiupin, everyone panicked and ran towards the gate one after another.

"Fast, fast, fast...... Don't mess up, evacuate quickly, Praetorian Guard, escort the Queen Mother and others first, and the Imperial City Guards quickly go to extinguish the fireworks! Wei Jing ordered loudly to everyone, after all, now that General Huo is gone, among the remaining people, only Wei Jing has a heavy responsibility.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Several violent explosions directly shattered the entire night sky, accompanied by the fireworks feast in the night sky, this earthquake mountain-like explosion completely tore the night sky of the imperial city, under the stage that took three months to build in the Weiyang Palace, tens of tons of gunpowder exploded instantly, the fire directly rushed out of the sky, a huge mushroom cloud flame spread to a height of dozens of meters above the Weiyang Palace, and the entire Weiyang Palace instantly turned into a human purgatory.

In addition to the people who were not far from the gate, many maids, miscellaneous servants, singers and dancers, civil and military officials in the Weiyang Palace, as well as the imperial city guards and the Praetorian Guards who were ordered to extinguish the fireworks, were all killed on the spot, and the entire Weiyang Palace instantly turned into a sea of fire, accompanied by the burning sound of "Zizizi".

"Help!"

"Ahh......h

"Who's going to save my child......"

In the entire Weiyang Palace, except for those who were close to the place where the gunpowder was buried, those who were a little far away from the center of the explosion all fell into the flames, although they were not dead, but they were not far from death.

"Bang!" A bang.

In the sea of fire, in the ruined palace that collapsed, a figure broke out of the fire and rushed directly in the direction of the voice for help, completely ignoring the surrounding sea of fire, just because he was Wei Jing, Wei was the guard who defended, and the guard who defended the family and the people......
