Chapter 2: The golden cicada sheds its shell

The sound of killing outside is shocking!

The faces of the four guards changed slightly, and they looked outside the main hall as if they were facing a great enemy.

Emperor Jianwen said worriedly: "Xiao Shunzi, won't you go with us?"

Xiao Shunzi shook his head and said: "The slave still has something to do, so naturally he can't go, it's too late, hurry up, Your Majesty." ”

"What are you going to do when you stay?" Emperor Jianwen was confused, and he was very puzzled in his heart.

Xiao Shunzi said anxiously: "The slave stayed to make a scene where the emperor faked his death, so as to buy time for the emperor to leave the palace." ”

Emperor Jianwen suddenly realized, patted Xiao Shunzi on the shoulder, and said with emotion: "If the people of my Ming Dynasty are as loyal as you, why is there a catastrophe now?"

"Take care. Emperor Jianwen said.

"Your Majesty, let's go. "Xiao Shunzi is in a hurry.

"Let's go!" Emperor Jianwen gave an order, and the four of them escorted Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen without saying a word, and hurriedly left the main hall.

Xiao Shunzi saw that Emperor Jianwen was gone, he breathed a sigh of relief, raised his right hand, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, got up from the ground, and hurriedly ran to the side of the main hall, and dragged out six or seven corpses from it, the corpses were male and female, and one of them was similar to Emperor Jianwen.

It seems that Xiao Shunzi has already prepared everything.

Xiao Shunzi took a deep breath and set fire to it, and in less than a while, the entire palace was on fire.

Less than a cup of tea.

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, wore armor and came to the palace surrounded by many generals, only to see that the palace was already a sea of fire, and people could feel a scorching breath more than ten zhang away from the palace.

Xiao Shunzi knelt more than ten feet away in front of the palace, shrugged his head, and said nothing, like a lamb to the slaughter.

King Yan glanced at Xiao Shunzi, after all, he was a eunuch who had served Emperor Taizu, he naturally recognized Xiao Shunzi, the chief eunuch, King Yan was stunned, his face was a little ugly, and he raised his right hand and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you put out the fire quickly?"

As King Yan's voice fell, except for the generals around King Yan, the rest of the people present panicked, and hurriedly ran in and out carrying buckets to extinguish the fire.

King Yan's eyebrows raised, he looked at Xiao Shunzi, who had been kneeling on the ground, and said, "Father-in-law Xiao Shunzi, how could the palace catch fire?"

Xiao Shunzi looked frightened and said, "Lord Wang, the emperor ordered it himself." ”

"The emperor ordered it himself?" King Yan was stunned and said suspiciously: "Then the emperor?"

Do you still have the face to call the emperor?

Xiao Shunzi was extremely contemptuous in his heart, but his face did not show any abnormality, he looked honest, and said: "The emperor is in the sea of fire." ”

Yan Wang's pupils contracted when he listened, and he looked at Xiao Shunzi without blinking, as if he wanted to see him through, and said with a straight face: "The emperor is in the sea of fire, as the emperor's personal servant, why don't you save your master?"

Xiao Shunzi lowered his head and replied: "The slave has long been unaccustomed to Zhu Yunwen, and he is looking at the prince who can enter the Beijing division as soon as possible, and now that the prince is coming, how can the slave save him if he encounters a rain in a big drought." ”

King Yan looked at Xiao Shunzi with interest and said, "Are you telling the truth?"

"No one dares to deceive the prince when the slave deceives. Xiao Shunzi said, then gave himself a big mouth, and quickly changed his words and said: "Look at the stinky mouth of the slave, you should be called the emperor now." ”

King Yan was in a good mood, and said with a laugh: "Father-in-law, get up, you are an old man who has served your father, this king will not look at the face of the monk but also look at the face of the Buddha, so he will not embarrass you." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Xiao Shunzi said happily.

The other generals glanced at each other, quickly knelt on the ground, and shouted in unison: "Weichen knocks to see the emperor." ”

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, raised his eyebrows and said in a respectful manner: "Flat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. A group of generals said in unison.

A fire took nearly two hours to extinguish, still in the case of a large number of people.

I saw that most of the majestic palace had been burned down, and now it was full of desolation, smoke was rising everywhere, and the majestic palace was destroyed.

Several corpses were found by soldiers from the rubble and carried to Zhu Di, the king of Yan.

The corpses were burned beyond recognition by the fire, and they were clumped together, almost only a skeleton of bones was left unburned, and at this moment, where could they still recognize who it was?

Yan Wang Zhu Di frowned, snorted fiercely, and said, "Father-in-law, you show me, which one is my nephew Yunwen?"

Xiao Shunzi came to the charred corpse, carefully identified it for a while, pointed to one of the corpses, and swore and said: "Your Majesty, if the slave is not mistaken, this corpse should be Zhu Yunwen's." ”

King Yan couldn't help but sneer: "The corpse was burned by the fire and shrunk in half, how do you know?"

Xiao Shunzi listened to King Yan's voice and became cold, which implied murderous intentions, if he couldn't answer a reason, he was afraid that he would be poisoned by King Yan immediately, Xiao Shunzi seemed to have expected such a moment, and explained unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, look." ”

Xiao Shunzi used his hand to flick some of the charred black things left on the corpse, and said: "The dragon robe is made by Ying Tianfu Yunjin, after it is lit, unlike other fabrics, it will stick to the corpse and will not fall off easily. ”

King Yan looked abrupt, nodded and said, "Yes, it makes sense." ”

Seeing this, Xiao Shunzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said secretly: "Your Majesty, there is only so much that the slaves have done, I hope that Emperor Taizu will bless you with peace and sound." ”

......

It is said that after the four of them escorted Emperor Jianwen out of the main hall, they came to an extremely remote side hall, which had an escape secret passage to the outside of the palace.

As soon as the five of them left the secret passage, they saw the direction of the palace blazing into the sky and thick smoke billowing out.

Emperor Jianwen's face changed drastically and said, "What's going on, why is the palace on fire?"

Dao Wujian smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, isn't it just right that the palace is burned, otherwise it will be cheaper for Zhu Di's anti-thief." ”

Emperor Jianwen said sadly: "The palace is the hard work of Emperor Taizu. ”

What's wrong with the hard work, now is not the time to sigh.

Dao Wujian urged: "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's hurry out of the city." ”

Emperor Jianwen pondered for a while and said: "Now that Yingtianfu has fallen into the hands of King Yan, the current Yingtianfu is only afraid that it has been heavily surrounded, if we want to go out, how easy is it to talk about it?"

Before Dao Wujian could speak, a guard named Zhou Ping beside him preemptively said, "Your Majesty, the three of us have already dug a secret passage to the outside of Yingtianfu. ”

Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen was stunned when he heard this, his face was full of grief and indignation, and then he said self-deprecatingly: "It seems that you have long known that I can't fight the King of Yan, and I have left a way out, but I don't know it, I daydream every day, it's really sad, ridiculous, and lamentable." ”

Zhou Ping wanted to show his merits, but he didn't expect the horse's fart to be slapped on the horse's leg!
