Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 398 Burning the Forbidden City

Throughout the dynasties, the imperial city was a restricted area, and it was difficult for ordinary people to enter.

Although there are also, such as the incident of a lunatic breaking into the East Palace to beat the young master during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.

But this is an individual case after all, and several conspiracies are involved.

Even at the end of the dynasty, it is still difficult for ordinary people to get close to the imperial city.

Yes, the Qing Dynasty is an exception.

Because the Qing Dynasty divided Beijing into inner and outer cities, that is, Seoul and Mancheng.

The defense system of the entire city in Beijing is roughly equivalent to the imperial city protecting Miyagi in the Ming Dynasty.

The children of the Eight Banners who live in the city are not ordinary people. In addition, the big and small yamen are all in the imperial city, so the children of the Eight Banners can enter the imperial city at will.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace even set up stalls to sell things in the imperial city. Over time, those bannermen with poor families also began to buy goods and sell them in the imperial city. The customers included not only the ladies in the palace, but also officials of all sizes from the six departments of Jiuqing.

Needless to say, the business was still very hot, so that later many clans and ministers also began to participate in the trading of the imperial city.

A knowledgeable minister wrote a letter saying that the imperial city is so loose, if there is an incident of treachery, it must be able to go straight to the palace.

Qianlong hated this very much, and repeatedly ordered that the gate control has been abolished recently, and the officers and soldiers on duty everywhere have not seriously supervised it, so that idlers and others can come and go at will without any rules.

Since the 23rd year of Qianlong's reign, the imperial city's "zhaomao" and "vegetable market" have been rectified, there have been about five times of rectification, but each time it can only be effective for at most half a month, and then it is the same as before, with stalls set up and protection fees As received, the market is bustling and lively.

There are even banner people who live in the east city and go to the west city to do business. To save trouble and travel, they go directly through the Meridian Gate. They can come and go freely without anyone asking.

Under such circumstances, the defense system of the imperial city is actually zero in the eyes of the villain.

The entire imperial palace, which is the last checkpoint of the Miyagi defense system, is actually the gate of Qianqing.

If a large group of people want to make trouble in Qianqingmen, then the guards and guards will really be underestimated, but if a few people want to make trouble, the guards and guards may not be able to notice.

If the people who caused the trouble were the guards and bodyguards, it would be even more difficult to guard against.

Dong Youliang, a native of the Zhenghuang Banner of the Han Army, his ancestors were the deputy general of Minghuamachi, the general of Shunhuaiqing, the admiral of Huguang in the Qing Dynasty, and Dong Xueli, the first class in the "Biography of Two Officials" compiled by the National History Museum.

In the 38th year of Qianlong's reign, Wen Fu went to Jinchuan and Jinchuan with Wen Fu, and made great contributions to the front school.After Muguomu was defeated and fled, he was taken in by Jia Jia Shikai, and was recommended by Dingxi Zuo Deputy General Bo Qing'e to join the Gongjinhui.

Two months ago, he was transferred back to Beijing and got the position of Qianqingmen Xingxing with 6000 taels.

Dong Youliang was the first to set fire to Miyagi.

Dong Youliang was also very frightened when he received the order to set fire from the meeting, but he still gritted his teeth and accepted the order.

Because he has no choice.

Dong Youliang did not dare to set fire in a crowded place, but quietly went to the Changyin Pavilion under construction in the northeast corner of Miyagi to set fire.

Due to the ongoing construction and the empress dowager's funeral, Changyin Pavilion has no one on duty.

Dong Youliang entered quietly and came to the place where the wood was piled up. After looking around, he squatted down and took out a book from his arms to light it.

The first thing to burn was the broken wood sawed by the carpenter, and soon the intact wood was ignited, and then thick smoke was everywhere, and the fire quickly rose in the unfinished Changyin Pavilion.

It was an old eunuch who first discovered the fire in Changyin Pavilion. He was startled at that time, and when he hurriedly shouted to put out the fire, he saw a guard walking out from the burning place.

"Oh, there's a fire, my lord, hurry up and put out the fire!"

The old eunuch thought that the other party came here after discovering the fire, so he didn't think much of it at all, but after the guard glanced at him, he suddenly drew his knife and slashed at him.

Before he could howl, the old eunuch was slashed to the ground by Dong Youliang.

There were footsteps coming from all around, and Dong Youliang, who was afraid of being discovered, didn't dare to delay, and quickly ran out from the other side over the wall.

There were exclamations of "out of water" everywhere behind him.

Dong Youliang, who escaped from Changyin Pavilion, was still in shock. After breathing for a while, he pretended to be calm and walked towards Le Shoutang.

This place was specially built by the emperor for the [-]th birthday of the Empress Dowager, and it has been left unused since then.

The fire of the Changyin Pavilion under construction alone is not enough to cause chaos in Miyagi, and the Le Shoutang is Dong Youliang's second goal.

Similarly, there were not many guards in this idle building in the corner of the palace, and after the adjacent Changyin Pavilion caught fire, the guards at Le Shoutang rushed to put out the fire.

Just in case, Dong Youliang didn't dare to go in through the gate, but chose to climb the tree outside the wall, then carefully climbed along the branches to the wall, and then turned over and jumped down.

After calming down, Dong Youliang tiptoed to the main hall, seeing that no one was paying attention, he quickly pushed the door open and entered.

But as soon as he entered, Dong Youliang was taken aback. There were people in the hall.

It's eighth elder brother Yongxuan and two eunuchs.

On the order of Huang Ama, he went to Le Shoutang to count the things used by the Empress Dowager during her lifetime, so that they could be used for the burial. The eighth elder brother Yongxuan also heard the sound of fire fighting outside. He was surprised that he asked his guards to help put out the fire, and he quickly counted the belongings .

Eighth Brother didn't notice Dong Youliang who pushed the door open at first, but an eunuch next to him saw someone coming in.

Yongxuan turned around and looked at Dong Youliang with a strange expression: "Where are you a slave? What are you doing here?"

"Slave is,"

Dong Youliang's face was anxious, and his heart was bitter, as if he was caught by his master while stealing.

Seeing that Dong Youliang was silent, Eighth Brother couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked, "Who are you?"

"Slave is, slave is"

Dong Youliang suddenly drew his knife and rushed towards Ba Ge, and then the tip of the knife pierced Ba Ge's chest.

"you!."

The eighth elder brother was so painful that he couldn't speak, his facial features seemed to be distorted, and he tightly grasped the long knife pierced into his chest with both hands.

"Killed!"

When the two eunuchs saw one screamed in horror, the other was too frightened to speak.

In the flash of lightning, Dong Youliang pulled out the knife fiercely, first slashed at the neck of the speechless eunuch, then kicked the screaming eunuch down to the ground with a side kick, and then rushed up to stab the eunuch with the knife. Poke his heart several times.

After finishing the work, he walked up to his chest with heavy breaths, and the blood continued to spurt. He knelt down in front of the twitching Eighth Brother who was already in pain, and swung the long knife towards the opponent's neck.

Dong Youliang, who had killed four people in a row, also had red eyes at this time. He knew that he could never turn back, so he walked tremblingly to the side of the hall and immediately started setting fire.

Soon, the Le Shoutang was also on fire, and the wooden buildings blazed loudly in the fire, and the soaring flames from Tongchangyin Pavilion reflected the Forbidden City like daylight.

Inside and outside the imperial city, countless fireworks exploded in the dark sky at the same time.

"Kill Qianlong, protect the Great Qing!" shouts came and went.

Chongwenmen tower above.

Seeing the fire all over the city, Jia Liu couldn't help being happy, and secretly praised Fanwei and Liu Heyi for being so good, and the secret agents of the Gongjinhui were also good.

The fire was set well. From hearing the news to going to the city in the blink of an eye, there were at least a dozen places on fire in the city.

The prince's house, Baylor's house, and the emperor's house.
But why was the yamen of the infantry commander who was going to be used as the headquarters of the anti-insurgency headquarters also burned?
Panting, Fan Wei found Master Guijia and told him that he did not send people to burn the infantry to lead the Yamen.

"Oh shit!"

Jia Liu's heart skipped a beat, it's really harmless, people have the heart to kill tigers.

Obviously, he, Jia Jia Shikai, was being targeted.

The reason, of course, is that he is too good at fighting, he has made great achievements in battle, and he is also the confidant of the fourth devil, acting as the admiral of the nine gates.

　This book is a novel, and a novel must at least have a plot.
