Chapter 168
On the second day, the crown prince's canonization ceremony, Dapei's officials stood neatly on both sides of the hall, bowing and cupping their hands to welcome the sixth prince, Gu Wenyuan.

Gu Wenyuan was running long-distance wearing a black four-dragon pattern, his hair was meticulously tied into a high bun, and was fixed by a golden jade crown.His complexion is fair, his face is delicate, and he looks gentle and dignified.

He walked into the hall calmly, and walked towards the vacant throne in the next step under the watchful eyes of the officials.

The queen sat in the bead curtain behind the dragon chair, with a smile on her lips, making no effort to hide her joyful mood at this time.

Gu Wenyuan walked to the front of the hall and bowed.

Father-in-law Luan Liu'an stood in front of everyone holding the imperial decree, unfolding the scroll in his hand, just about to read it.

At this time, Gu Yunshen suddenly yelled loudly: "Nurse, Yuan'er is thirsty and wants to drink milk."

Immediately, the hall fell silent, and everyone thought they heard it wrong.

Gu Yunshen didn't know what was wrong, and screamed and looked around: "Nurse, nanny, where are you? Yuan'er wants to drink milk, Yuan'er wants to drink the nanny's milk!"

He ran wildly in the main hall, looking for the nanny everywhere.

Not only knocked down Luan Liu'an, but also overturned the candle holder, the candle flame burned the red curtains of the main hall, and the flames shot up to the roof in an instant.

Ministers, courtiers, internal officials, and guards were all in a mess.

Luan Liu'an, who was standing on the edge of the curtain, also had his robe ignited, and the flames rushed very fast, quickly burning him and the imperial decree together.Seeing that Luan Liu'an was burned into a burning man, the officials began to push each other and flee outside the hall.There was a mess in the hall, several senior ministers were pushed and trampled by the crowd, howling wailing.

The queen and the prime minister were already in a panic at this time, and the court ladies and officials shouted to protect the empress, and wanted to surround the queen and quickly evacuate the hall.

The queen, who was being pushed and hugged by people, glanced at the scene in the hall in horror, and fled in a hurry.From the beginning to the end, she never thought that her son was still in the palace.

And Prime Minister Yu also fled in a hurry.

At this time, Gu Wenyuan became excited when he saw Luan Liu'an who was on fire all over his body.He grabbed the flaming curtain, pulled the blazing flame and ignited the person he saw.

Immediately, several ministers and generals who were running slowly became people of fire one after another.

Gu Wenyuan watched and laughed, and directed the flames to his body, as if he didn't know the pain, he ran into the crowd with open arms, and used the fire on his body to ignite others.

Seeing the courtiers being set on fire, Gu Wenyuan laughed wildly.Then he stood in the middle of the hall and danced like a madman until he was completely consumed by the fire and fell over the hall.

On that day, the billowing black smoke from the Jinluan Hall of the Dapei Imperial Palace rose into the sky, and everyone in the capital stopped to watch.People looked at the billowing black smoke with fear and curiosity, and speculated on the cause of the fire without any evidence.

The fire burned for a day and was finally extinguished.

After counting, 13 people lost their lives in the sea of ​​flames. In addition to the Sixth Highness Gu Wenyuan, there were also Luan Luan, the head of the inner court, eight ministers, and three court ladies.

The family members of the courtiers who died dared not speak out, but the officials and generals who escaped that day were even more frightened and furious at the same time.

Everyone was secretly saying that if Yu Shi hadn't supported this stupid prince to the throne, they would not have suffered such a disaster.It was lucky to be able to survive, but if they were the ones trapped in the fire at that time, the family in white collars who had nowhere to appeal was their family members.

Rumors spread everywhere in the capital, that the Yu family was unethical and supported a foolish prince as the crown prince, only then would he be punished by heaven.

The queen was standing in front of the mirror in mourning attire.

Seeing herself without makeup and hairpins, and at the extremely luxurious dress on the hanger, she suddenly felt furious, and smashed all the things on the table to the ground with a wave of her hand.

But now, when she needed the support of her mother's family the most, Yu Songjie hid herself in her mansion on the grounds that the grand ceremony was frightened.

The great hall that had been burned down into ruins, the memorials for the dead who had been repeatedly presented with remonstrance, and the furious forces of all parties all made Empress Yu unable to sleep for a moment.

No one told her why Gu Wenyuan suddenly lost control and went crazy, and no one told her how to clean up the mess.

But at this time, Emperor Xian's condition suddenly recovered, he woke up from a coma, and had people come to Zitong Hall to pass on her many times.Every time the queen was overly frightened and sad, she refused to go over.

But this kind of rhetoric can resist the summons of Emperor Xian several times.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," the palace maid hurried into the bedroom and knelt down in front of the empress.

Seeing that she was in such a hurry, the queen frowned and said angrily, "What's wrong!"

"His Majesty released the concubine, and now the concubine has been called to serve in front of the imperial court."

"What!!!" The queen fell down on the couch, her face was completely bloodless.

"Also... and..." The maid continued to say, but she dodged her words, her eyes frightened.

"What else..." The queen almost looked at the maid in despair.

"Eldest Princess' father-in-law, Prince Jin Yue's father, Master Jin of the Young Mansion...also died in the fire...Jin Yue Prince-in-Law beat the Eldest Princess in a fit of rage...When the imperial physician arrived at Lord Jin's mansion, the princess Already...already dead."

The Queen's eyes widened, and her ears rang.

Her only normal adult child, the eldest princess Gu Ziling also died.

Hearing this news, the Queen collapsed.

"Come on! Come on! Yu Jiancheng, the commander of the Imperial Guard!" The queen ordered loudly.

After the empress had a secret talk with Yu Jiancheng, Yu Jiancheng led [-] imperial troops to surround the capital, and brought [-] elite soldiers into the palace to control Emperor Xian, the concubine and everyone in the harem.Emperor Xian and Concubine Mu were locked in the bedroom together, and no one was allowed to enter to serve.

Not only that, but Yu Jiancheng put the imperial physician in prison for neglecting his duties at the Ether Hospital and stopped Xiandi's daily medication.

Just as Yu Jiancheng was sitting in a yellow robe and dreaming of replacing Gu's Spring and Autumn Dream, an urgent military report from eight hundred miles shattered his fantasy with a punch.

The Seventh Prince Gu Yunzheng, the Ninth Prince Gu Yunshen and Lei Yuxiu led the Northern Rong Army to attack Gyeonggi from the northern border.

Not only that, Xidi and Nanyi army horses also attacked Dapei on the grounds of supporting the two princes of Dapei in killing the rebels and purging the Qing Dynasty.

For a time, the Dapei Forbidden Army under the three-pronged attack not only failed to fight the enemy, but their hearts were broken.

Among them, the soldiers fled if they could, and those who could not escape were passive and idle.

After all, no matter in terms of numbers or combat capabilities, the Forbidden Army who surrounded the capital all year round and only knew how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble but had never actually been on the battlefield had no chance of winning at all in front of the coalition forces with a total of nearly 10 people.

Soon, in order to save his own life, Yu Jian opened the gate of the capital and let the Bei Rong army enter the city.

Lei Yuxiu, holding a spear in his hand, rode on a horse and led his troops into the capital first.

But before going far, someone stopped the team.

Seeing that Yu Jiancheng tied up his old man and brought him to Lei Yuxiu, he knelt on one knee and said, "General Lei, I have arrested Yu Songjie, the real treasonist, and handed it over to you."

When the people on both sides of the road saw this scene, there was an uproar, and everyone sighed.

"This man actually arrested his father just to survive."

"I'm devastated..."

"He was the one who led the troops into the imperial city, but now he says it's his father. It's really shameless."

……

People talk to me with one glance.

Yu Jiancheng didn't change his face and said: "Yu Songjie plotted a rebellion and brought four thousand elite soldiers into the imperial city just to protect His Majesty and all the empresses and princesses in the harem. General Lei please learn from him."

Lei Yuxiu looked at Yu Jiancheng coldly, and said without the slightest tone: "Come here, put Prime Minister Yu in prison."

Shen Lie walked up to Yu Songjie, grabbed the iron chain in his hand, and brought him back to the army.

Yu Jiancheng smiled and said: "General Lei, you are tired from marching, and I have already booked a banquet at Zuixianlou to welcome you."

Lei Yuxiu didn't look at him again, but said to the messenger behind him: "Command, Yu's family rebelled and plotted rebellion. All of their clan and accomplices will be arrested, and no one will slip through the net."

Before Yu Jiancheng could react, he saw a soldier with a spear around his neck.

And Mai'er brought Ali and the Shuo clan to start arresting the Yu clan since they entered the city.

Seeing the arrest of Yu Songjie and Yu Jiancheng, some people applauded suddenly among the people, and gradually the applause echoed like a sea. The people's hatred for Yu Shi had already reached the extreme, and today they finally let it all out.

"That's the Major General of the Lei Mansion!"

"That's right, General Lei! General Lei of the Dapei Army."

"Old General Lei was killed by Yu Songjie, he would not have rebelled back then."

"We all believe in Old General Lei. The Lei family has protected Dapei for hundreds of years, how could he return?! General Lei, killed the Yu family, and time is still in peace!"

"Major General Lei, we support you..."

"Support Da Pei Army!"

Seeing the cheers of the people, Lei Yuxiu looked solemn.

The people can be fooled for a while, but after a long time, they will eventually know the truth.
