On the southern foot of Zijin Mountain, beside Xiaoling Mausoleum, a sudden fire completely broke the tranquility of the imperial tomb.

In the night, there were shouting figures everywhere. The eunuchs and palace maids near the imperial tent were frightened by the fire and ran around. The Jinyiwei and the imperial guards were desperately demolishing the camps around the fire to prevent the fire from spreading.

Dingguo Duke Xu Yande, Jingshan Hou Cui Yuan, Dongchang Admiral Huang Jin and other important figures responsible for protecting the sage are now full of fear and dust.

The imperial tent has been swallowed by the fire, but the emperor has disappeared. They don’t know how the fire burned, they only know that this day is about to collapse!

Just as they were standing by the sea of ​​fire, an old and shrill voice suddenly rang behind them.

"Emperor, where is the emperor? Is the emperor okay?"

It is rare for Yan Song, the old fox, to scream so miserably.

However, no one cares about him now, and the emperor may be gone. Who has the heart to care about him, the chief minister of the cabinet?

Duke Xu Yande of Ding, Duke of Jingshan Cui Yuan, Admiral Huang Jin of Dongchang, and others still did not move, just stared at the sea of ​​fire.

Unexpectedly, Yan Song suddenly became abnormal and shouted angrily at Duke Ding Xu Yande and Marquis of Jingshan Cui Yuan: "Emperor, why don't you command the imperial guards to go in and save the emperor?"

You are a dying person, I'm afraid you're crazy if you get something and lose something. How can you save someone with such a big fire? Why don't you rush in?

Ding Guo Duke Xu Yande rolled his eyes and ignored him.

Cui Yuan, the Marquis of Jingshan, also wanted to roll his eyes, but he was the chief minister of the cabinet and the head of all officials. It seems bad if he doesn't exist.

He could only sigh helplessly: "When we came here, the imperial tent had already burned down. Now the imperial tent was nowhere to be found. How could we go in to save people in the vast sea of ​​fire?"

Unexpectedly, Yan Song still pointed at them and roared wildly: "You, are you protecting the emperor like this?"

I'm afraid this guy is really crazy about gaining or losing his heart, right?

Xu Yande, Duke of Ding, still rolled his eyes and ignored him. Cui Yuan, the Marquis of Jingshan, was too lazy to say anything.

Seeing this, Huang Jin, the admiral of the East Factory, felt a little comfort in his heart.

Originally, he was quite sad. After all, Jiajing grew up because he watched him grow up. Moreover, Jiajing was very kind to him. Almost all the eunuchs in the palace were handed over to him, and even the most important criticism of the winner was left to him. At this moment, Jiajing suddenly disappeared. How could he not be sad?

While he was sad, he also felt a little guilty because he didn't have time to save Jiajing.

After all, he is old. He doesn't stay up late when he is fine. This time he has been busy with boats and trains for so many days. It's fake that he says he's not tired. After serving Jiajing to bed, he went to bed early and slept quite heavily. When he woke up, the fire was almost burning to his tent. Several eunuchs rushed in without thinking and ran out of the fire. Before he could figure out the situation, he was carried out to the sea of ​​fire.

When he realized it, it was too late and the imperial tent had long been burned down.

Strictly speaking, he should bear the main responsibility for this matter, because after Lu Bing left, he was responsible for Jiajing's safety alone. All the eunuchs and Jinyiwei were under his control around the imperial tent. If something happened to the emperor, can he get rid of it?

For this reason, he had been deeply guilty and felt deeply in pain.

Unexpectedly, when Yan Song ran over, he caught Duke Ding Xu Yande and Duke Jingshan Cui Yuan yelled, and directly accused them of not sending anyone to rush into the sea of ​​fire to save the emperor.

This is clearly meant to blame Xu Yande, Duke Ding and Cui Yuan, the Marquis of Jingshan, instead of him, he would naturally feel a little comfort in his heart.

By the way, Yan Song was really crazy about gaining and losing his heart. He actually caught Duke Ding Xu Yande and Duke Jingshan Cui Yuan yelled. Although he was the chief minister of the cabinet, he could not control the Duke and Duke.

Besides, he is not responsible for the emperor's escort. If he yells like this, what's wrong with getting sick?

Of course Yan Song did not get sick. The reason why he yelled at Duke Ding Xu Yande and Marquis of Jingshan Cui Yuan was because these two people were too close to Yang Cong.

Yan Shifan's strategy was to hold Yang Cong's head when something happened to Jiajing, so these two people were naturally "accomplices".

His yelling was actually laying the groundwork for the subsequent conspiracy.

Duke Dingguo Xu Yande and Marquis of Jingshan Cui Yuan did not expect Yan Song to be so vicious. They are all regretting it now.

What a shame? Why do you have to follow the emperor to worship your ancestors? Isn’t it good to stay in the capital honestly?

Xu Yande, Duke of Ding, regretted his intestines. Originally, he could come or not.

If he didn't want to come, Jiajing wouldn't force him to come. After all, Jiajing came to worship his ancestors and had nothing to do with him.

But he took the initiative to ask for the question to follow Jiajing.

He actually wanted to take a look at the relatives of Duke of Wei. After all, the capital and Jinling are thousands of miles apart, so it is not easy to come. Moreover, their identities are quite sensitive. If they meet privately without the emperor's permission, it is very likely to attract criticism.

This time, it can be said to be a rare opportunity in a century. The emperor came to Jinling to worship his ancestors. He accompanied him and visited the relatives of Duke of Wei. It was justified and there was no need to worry about gossiping.

Unexpectedly, after finally following the emperor to Jinling, this incident happened. Now, the emperor is likely to be gone. This matter is really unlucky!

As for the Marquis of Jingshan Cui Yuan, he didn't have to come, but the emperor said he would let him follow him, so he followed him without hesitation.

After all, he is the husband of the eldest princess of Yong'an. In terms of seniority, he is the emperor's uncle. In terms of it, he is also a relative of the royal country. The emperor said that he would come to worship his ancestors and take care of the imperial guards in the capital camp, so why would he have the nerve to refuse?

At this time, he felt so regretful, why didn’t he think about it carefully?

What's the benefit of him following the emperor to worship his ancestors? The emperor would never give him a title because of his "competence with the emperor". However, if something happens to the emperor's saint, he will not be able to escape.

This is typical thankless, why did he take this job?

If I had figured it out at the beginning, it would have been cured even if I pretended to be sick!

Now, something really happened to the emperor.

Although the two of them didn't pay much attention to Yan Song, they felt very regretful. They all knew that something happened to the emperor. Although the princes and nobles who were in charge of the imperial guards were not necessarily guilty, they were inevitably gossiped about and pointed at the back. It can be said that this is a major stain in their lives and they can't be erased no matter how hard they are.

Yan Song seemed to be angry for a moment, and after a few yells, he stopped talking.

Like Xu Yande and Cui Yuan, he stood by the sea of ​​fire and stared blankly.

The fire burned for a long time until all the surrounding camps were removed and the fire could not continue to spread, and the fire gradually became smaller.

When the flames were not so high, it seemed that there was a possibility of extinguishing them. Duke Ding Guo Xu Yande, Duke of Jingshan Cui Yuan and Admiral Huang Jincai of the East Factory commanded the Jinyiwei and the imperial guards to bring water from the nearby river to try their best to put out the fire.

Immediately afterwards, searching for Jiajing's traces.

In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that something happened to Jiajing in most cases, but before they saw the body, they always held a little fantasy.

In the end, Jiajing's body was found. As for what Jiajing was burned by fire, it will not be described for various reasons.
