The fire burned all night, Wei Jing stood in front of the ruins of Weiyang Palace with a scorched face, his expression was indifferent, hundreds of Praetorian Guards behind him were busy cleaning up the corpses picked up from the fire, overnight, the huge Weiyang Palace was destroyed, thousands of people who did not evacuate in time were buried here, and the highest identity was the King of Huainan who returned to Beijing to report on his work, the King of Huainan Li Chungang, who was high above and tried to strangle Xu Jianping in one fell swoop.

Heaven is a good reincarnation, in the face of violent gunpowder, whether you are a high-ranking prince or a maid in the palace, everything is equal, except for a few lucky survivors, there are no survivors in the Weiyang Palace.

In the imperial study, the ground is full of messes, under the bookcase, it is His Majesty who swept down his own literature, under the anger, everyone in the imperial study knelt on the ground and trembled, Xue Li, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, has been directly beheaded, the fresh head is now placed on the bookcase of the imperial study, the city gate guard and the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Dali Siqing, Jingzhao Mansion Yin and others have been kneeling since last night until now, no one dares to get up, no one dares to speak.

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, this is the only time that the palace has been destroyed, and it is precisely the Weiyang Palace, just on the Queen Mother's 70th birthday banquet, this is a great shame, if it is not for Wei Jing to arrive in time to report, General Huo's instant decision, I am afraid that last night the Li family of the Han Dynasty will die on the spot, then the world will be in chaos, and the Han Dynasty will inevitably collapse in an instant.

No wonder His Majesty is so angry, according to the information from Wei Jing, last night in an instant, a total of more than 1,860 people died, including five harem concubines, two second-grade officials in the court, five third-grade officials, and 16 fourth-grade officials, and the rest are still being counted, what's more, the king of Huainan also died on the spot, fortunately, Wei Jing sent the envoys of various countries away in time last night, otherwise the major subject countries of the Han Dynasty would inevitably make trouble under the pretext of excuses.

"A group of waste, tons of gunpowder, under your nose, Weiyang Palace, the city gate guards, how did you check the things that entered the city, how did such a huge gunpowder be transported into the city, the Praetorian Guard, if you can't hold the gate of the imperial city, then all go to the north city to stay, Kyoto is too comfortable, Dali Temple, day and night inspection, such a huge plan You and so on are not aware of it, I think this Dali Temple does not stand, Kyoto Mansion, Ruzhi Mansion is not the world's four famous catches, why there is no clue this time, 1860 people, That's my people, the people of the Han Dynasty, you wait......"

The Son of Heaven Li Biao blushed angrily, and scolded everyone present with a heartbreak, trembling his body, he couldn't help but let him stretch out his hands to support the bookcase, thinking of the explosion last night, the Son of Heaven Li Biao couldn't help but be afraid for a while.

"The ministers deserve death, I am willing to apologize for the crime with death, but I ask Your Majesty to take care of the dragon body and bless me with the rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty!" Under the bookcase, everyone spoke in unison, and slammed their foreheads to the ground, "dong dong dong", three loud bangs, His Majesty did not speak, everyone present did not dare to stop, so they had to continue to knock heavily, and for a while, there was only the sound of the forehead hitting the floor in the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, Da Sima asks to see you!" Outside the door, Shi Shiran, Gonggong Hong, walked over and said to His Majesty in a light manner. His eyes glanced at the few people kneeling on the ground, and sighed secretly in his heart, "I'm afraid that only General Huo can save them now." ”

"Xuan!"

Li Biao, the Son of Heaven, waved his hand and motioned for the people below to stop, but the few people who were concentrating on kowtowing couldn't see it at all, because they could only see the ground now.

"What is General Huo asking to see at this time? But he who intercedes for them? ”

"No, no, today's Wechen just wants to see them to see how they die."

As soon as Huo Sima said this, cold sweat broke out on the sideburns of several people kneeling on the ground, and the "knock knock" became more energetic.

The Son of Heaven Li Biao's eyes wrinkled, he knew what General Huo meant by saying this, this was to retreat as an advance, and give the two sides the stairs down, so he said along the way, "Who said that I want to kill them?" ”

General Huo pretended to raise his voice, "Yi, Your Majesty is merciful, but he is a villain." ”

The Son of Heaven Li Biao complied with his wishes and said to the people below, "Don't knock, the floor is dirty." ”

General Huo was also in a hurry, and immediately answered the phone and said to everyone, "Thank you Your Majesty for not killing!" ”

The few people who were kneeling on the ground hurriedly took over the words, and said in unison, "Thank you Your Majesty for not killing, and the ministers are dripping with tears!" ”

The Son of Heaven Li Biao snorted, but he didn't answer, but General Huo next to him continued,

"Your Majesty has a large number, now the culprit has not been caught, Weichen has ordered martial law in the whole city last night, and he is not allowed to enter or leave, even if they are all executed, last night's incident cannot be reversed, now the plan, why not let him atone for his crimes, and find out the people behind the case, in order to comfort the soul of the dead last night, and deal with it after the case."

Although the Son of Heaven Li Biao is angry, but he is also a reasonable person, last night's accident, the court has lost a quarter of the courtiers, he knows that this is the best way to deal with it, "Now is the time for the court to employ people, within three days, you must catch the culprit, otherwise even General Huo Lao will not be able to protect you, get out!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Longen, the ministers will retire!" Everyone hurriedly got up and walked towards the door with a word.

Outside the imperial study, a few people who escaped death didn't care about the scars on their foreheads at all, and let the blood stains flow down their faces, what they were most worried about at the moment was how to find out who was behind the bombing, and bring them to justice, in order to slightly ease the guilt in their hearts, after all, more than 1,800 lives, that is not a sting that can be resolved overnight, in its position, it is necessary to do its duty, maybe this case is not caused by a single party, but if you can be more meticulous in your work, the inspection is more strict, Maybe last night's tragedy wouldn't have happened.

At this time, on the tower of the city wall of the east gate of the city, Xu Jianping was lying in the duty room of the city gate guard, and Li Yuanzheng, the captain of the city gate, was standing on one side, and asked to Yilangzhong, "How is it, when will Lord Xu wake up?" ”

Last night, Li Yuan returned to the east gate of the city after conveying Xu Jianping's information, on the city wall, he witnessed the earth-shattering explosion in the palace, the raging fire, Xu is Li Yuan, who participated in the battle in the Southern Regions ten years ago, was also terrified, he didn't know if the news was conveyed in time, whether everyone in the Weiyang Palace evacuated safely, he just wanted to know now, when Lord Xu Yushi would wake up, because, maybe only he can know what happened last night.

"My lord, my lord!"

In a trance, the index finger of the right hand of the person on the long case moved!

ps: The reason why the king of Huainan is written is that it means a cycle of cause and effect, and there is more punishment for sin
