Chapter 1230 The Calamity of the Imperial Tomb
The collapse and burning of He Liang's tomb was not only completely out of Mu Yang's imagination.At the same time, it was sudden and strange, and completely deviated from the expectations of Cao Ang, Xun Yu and others who had already discovered some signs.

Cao Ang remembered that when he just quietly stepped out of the imperial mausoleum hall, he was still feeling in his heart that Xun Yu was indeed his father's helper, and when things only showed a slight sign, a little trick would make a huge difference. The disadvantage turned to the ability of the knife in hand.

However, the ruthless reality appeared to be a bit unprepared.Just before the emotion in Cao Ang's heart turned into a reverent gaze towards Xun Yu, another slight creaking sound suddenly sounded.This voice happened to appear in a gap when Liu Xie was speaking. In the solemn and silent dignified, this slight creaking sound was too abrupt.All civil and military officials were taken aback, and raised their heads to search around.

Soon, someone discovered that the pillar in question was in the southwest corner of the lobby.But Cao Ang and Xun Yu's eyes were more anxious - this time it was more serious, and the entire ceiling seemed to be slightly tilted to the southwest.Xun Yu was still weighing, but Cao Ang felt that he could no longer hesitate, he jumped out and shouted: "The imperial mausoleum is not well built, all the ministers leave quickly!"

This cry was like the fuse of the explosion, igniting everyone's panic.However, what is strange is that when the royal guards moved out to surround Liu Xie and left, Liu Xie only looked at the ceiling of the lobby without moving at all: "I don't believe that the imperial mausoleum built by the Cao family and protected by the former emperor can be so easily collapse."

Although the voice of today's son was not loud, it clearly reached the ears of all civil and military personnel.Since ancient times, the emperor has been the guide for the ministers, and the emperor still looks unchanged when Mount Tai collapses in front of him. How can the ministers scatter like birds and beasts?What's more, the civil and military officials also discovered at this time that Concubine Cao didn't even hesitate at the moment Liu Xie finished speaking, and stood beside Liu Xie with the prince in her arms.

Seeing this, the officials suddenly seemed to understand the meaning behind the emperor's words.This time His Majesty has personally stated that the Cao family undertook the construction of the imperial mausoleum, and he insisted on refusing to leave—this attitude is completely different from his previous speech that was not true. Shi!Those loyal royalists suddenly seemed to have received the imperial decree of sacrificing their lives for righteousness, and they took the lead in kneeling on the ground: "I swear to die with Your Majesty to learn from Cao's loyalty!"

The wind vane of the entire hall changed instantly under Liu Xie's words, and the faces of Xun Yu, Cao Ang and others were extremely ugly.The occurrence of such a situation was obviously not expected by the two of them.Especially Cao Ang, he thought that the threat of the imperial mausoleum ceremony came from the outside Ma family, but he didn't expect that the real head-on blow turned out to be their internal inconsistency!
At this time, there was a sudden sharp sound of a wooden pillar snapping from the southwest corner of the lobby. The pillar could no longer support it and fell to the ground.The civil and military officials yelled and ran away, and then the whole ceiling collapsed half a corner, causing a cloud of smoke and dust.A liquid mixed with black and blue colors flowed down from above, with a pungent smell and a large amount, covering nearly half of the floor in no time.

There is a saying in Qing Nangshu written by Hua Tuo, a doctor: "People are most simple when they are sick."It means that when a person is frightened, his instantaneous reaction best reflects his true heart.At the moment in the lobby, although Liu Xie and other royalists have firmly grasped the commanding heights of public opinion, it is undeniable that there are still more ministers loyal to the Cao family, or loyal to human nature, than those who can give their lives for their wishes.

At this time, many ministers who swayed from side to side, or simply admired the Cao family raised their feet one after another, not wanting to get involved with these things.Some people step on the cloth shoes carelessly and find that the sticky ones are difficult to wash off.

"It's varnish and tung oil!"

Someone's shout completely ignited the clear and chaotic situation in the lobby.Everyone can imagine what kind of catastrophe it will bring if these two things are touched by a spark of fire!What's more, apart from the threat of being buried in a sea of ​​flames, this imperial mausoleum may collapse at any time!
"The second floor of the imperial mausoleum is still being repaired. The varnish and tung oil should be hoarded by the workers. This time, a corner of the lobby collapsed, and the water level was low, so these things flowed down the gap." Cao Ang thought. Guess, he quickly expressed his conjecture.

"Your Majesty, today all the officials of His Majesty came to sacrifice, do you think those ceremonial officials and supervisors would make such a low-level mistake?" Xun Yu's face was very pale, and he didn't care to lower his voice at this time, and said loudly: "There must be someone here. Mixed into the imperial mausoleum in advance, overturned these green lacquer and tung oil..."

Xun Yu's intentional loudness this time also has the meaning of mending the past.However, at the moment of life and death, which of the ministers can comprehend Xun Yu's wonderful words that lead to misfortune?Even Cao Ang was upset at this moment, and he just shouted out with his heart: "Come here, quickly cover your Majesty and all the ministers to withdraw from the imperial tomb!"

Unfortunately, he didn't see that the corner of Liu Xie's mouth on the stage only pulled a very sarcastic arc.

At this moment, more than a dozen pillars in the lobby made dense creaking sounds at the same time, as if there were countless spiders running crazily on them.Cao Ang's complexion changed drastically. He didn't care about others, so he turned around and ran towards the gate.The other ministers also realized that the situation was not good, and moved back one after another. For a while, the figures were scattered, and the entire lobby was in chaos.

"The ministers swear to die together with His Majesty, and learn from Cao's loyalty!" Sikong Zhang Xi, Yilang Zhao Yan and other loyal officials of the Han Dynasty slammed hard. The weapon—the price of life—to interpret their loyalty to the Han dynasty!

It's a pity, it's still a pity.Liu Xie only gave these people a look of pity and compassion, without even replying, so he turned his head to Cao Jie: "Are you still going?"

But Cao Jie didn't show any expression of fear, she gently comforted the crying emperor in her arms because of the noise.There was the most beautiful smile as a woman on her face, and she said affectionately almost decisively: "Your Majesty, don't you know that this moment is what my concubine wants in this life!"

Liu Xie was moved for a moment. He watched more and more out-of-control ministers screaming desperately, and some older courtiers were trampled under their feet, moaning and panicking.Seeing that the virtues of gentleness, respectfulness and frugality are gone here, everyone seems to be crazy like a rat on a sinking ship.Finally, he put his determined and sincere eyes on Cao Jie's beautiful face, and gently hugged her into his arms: "Don't worry, I'm here, you can't expect that moment..."

As soon as the words fell, it seemed as if an invisible big hand pressed hard on the upper floor, and more than a dozen pillars that were struggling to support broke at the same time.The original horizontal girder was suddenly covered with cracks, and broke from the middle after struggling a few times.When the girder snapped, the entire top of the Qianlong Temple completely lost its support and crashed down toward the lobby.For the ministers in the hall, this time was a veritable summit of Mount Tai.

Huge smoke and dust erupted in the southwest of Xu Capital City, swirled in mid-air, and spread rapidly in all directions.In just a short moment, He Liang Huang Mausoleum turned into a mass of ruins mixed with broken bamboos, broken wood, cracked rocks and a large number of human limbs. Half-buried bodies or thighs pressed by giant trees can be seen everywhere, and there are some unexplored people. Heads from the rubble screamed for help.The only thing that is considered complete is the gilded plaque with the words "Imperial Mausoleum of the Han Dynasty".

"Fire! Fire!!" Someone else yelled miserably.All the buried ministers were horrified to find that the temperature around them suddenly started to rise, and then fierce flames came out from the gaps in the ruins, frantically devouring everything around them.

"It's the shadow of the Ma family!!" At this time, Cao Ang finally saw a few agile figures like spirit apes in the chaos. Mausoleum.Moreover, among the five black swallows, a plain white ribbon flashed across.

That was the plain silk dress that Tang Xiaomi wore when entering the imperial mausoleum today, Cao Ang would not think that he was dazzled.At this time, Cao Chun, the leader of the tiger and leopard cavalry outside the imperial mausoleum, looked at the figures of the seven rabbits flying up and down, and pointed with a knife: "Chasing!!! No matter the ends of the world, no matter how much you pay, you must Catch up with these people!"
