Volume Four Chapter 111 Sleepless Nights

This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

Jiajing's imperial tent suddenly caught fire, and the fire was extremely fierce. When the eunuch who was on duty reacted, he shouted everywhere. The fire had already swallowed the entire imperial tent, and it was too late to save it.

All the palace maids, eunuchs, including the Jinyiwei and the imperial guards, could only watch the fire spreading to the surrounding camps, with fear on their faces and helpless.

Putting out a fire?

Don't joke, this camp is made of animal skins and oil cloth. Once it is burned, it is basically impossible to extinguish it.

At this moment, it seems that I can only quickly dismantle the tent near the fire to prevent the fire from spreading. There is no need to think about the others.

As for rushing into the fire to save Jiajing, no one has the courage. The only courageous Lu Bing has been sent away by Yang Cong.

The entire camp was noisy for nearly a quarter of an hour, and the elderly Yan Song woke up from his sleep. There was no way. It was not that he was not concerned about Jiajing's safety, but that his camp was too far away from the imperial tent.

There were nearly 20,000 people stationed here, and the entire camp was hundreds of acres in radius. There were also palace maids, eunuchs and Jinyiwei’s camps between Jiajing’s imperial tent and minister’s camps. Moreover, this was a mountainous area, and everyone’s camps were not even in the same valley. It would take a certain amount of time to spread the noise and hustle and bustle over the imperial tent.

He was indeed old. He was awakened in the middle of the night after a few days of fatigue. He was completely confused.

What's going on and why is it so noisy?

After opening his eyes, he was stunned for a while before shouting to the outside, "What's going on? Why is it so noisy?"

Outside the camp, a close confidant heard that the master had woken up and quickly replied loudly: "Master, it seems that he is getting out of fire."

Going out of fire?

This is normal. Camping in the wild is prone to fire. Just like the time a few years ago, the tent of the chief minister Xia Yan caught fire, and no one felt that there was anything abnormal.

Yan Song hesitated for a moment, but still got up tremblingly and shouted to the outside: "Come on, change your clothes."

He really didn't want to get up. This person became prone to sleep as soon as he got older, especially after several days of hard work, he was in a state of energy and just wanted to sleep.

However, he had to get up.

There is no way, who said he was the chief minister? If the camp was in trouble, he would seem too irresponsible if he didn't get up to see it. If the emperor suddenly summoned him and he was still asleep in the tent, it would be troublesome.

While he was confused and wearing an official robe under the service of his confidants, he asked casually: "Where is the fire going on? Isn't it far from here?"

The confidant replied carefully: "It seems that the fire broke out on the imperial tent. It's not clear that it's been in the middle of the night."

Is there a fire on the imperial tent?

When Yan Song heard this, he felt nervous.

Your Majesty, nothing will happen?

If something happened to the emperor, what would happen?

He did not care about Jiajing, but about the power in his hands, because his power was given by Jiajing.

If something happened to Jiajing suddenly, he would probably not be considered a supporting role. Who knows whether the new emperor would continue to use him after he ascended the throne? If King Yu inherited the throne, he would probably have a life-threatening disaster!

Thinking of this, he quickly accelerated and hurriedly put on his official robe.

He was about to go to the imperial tent to see the situation in person, but he never thought that before he could leave the tent, a chubby figure suddenly rushed in outside, grabbed his arm, and said anxiously: "Sir, you have already gotten up. The child just sent someone to inquire, it seems that the emperor's imperial tent has gone fire."

ah!

Yan Song was stunned when he heard this.

Needless to ask, this guy must be Yan Shifan, because Yan Song only has such a son.

Yan Shifan was the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple and was responsible for managing sacrificial items. When Jiajing wanted to worship his ancestors, he had to follow him.

He had been awakened by a long time ago, and when he woke up, he ordered his confidants to inquire. As a result, the information he found out was that the imperial tent was on fire. Moreover, the fire seemed to be very fierce, and the entire imperial tent, as well as the tent within dozens of steps next to him, was burned.

What this means is self-evident. The emperor, something might have happened!

What should I do if something happens to the emperor?

He didn't rush to run out of the camp. What can he do when he runs out?

He was just a Shaoqing of Taichang Temple. Among the officials who were accompanying him, he was of a low grade and could not command a few people.

He just ordered people to inquire around and sit in the tent to think about countermeasures. Until his close friend came to report and his father Yan Song had already gotten up, he hurried over.

Yan Song was really shocked when he heard this news. The emperor's imperial tent was on fire. What's wrong with this?

It can be said that Jiajing is his heaven. With this heaven under his command, he can do whatever he wants without restraint. He dare not think about what would happen if he changed his emperor.

He was stunned for a while before he said in a lost voice: "How is the emperor?"

Yan Shifan did not answer, he just glared at the confidant who was holding his father's arm coldly.

Seeing this, the confidant immediately understood that the father and son were afraid that there would be something shameful to say, so he quickly bowed and went out.

Yan Shifan watched the confidant walk out of the camp, then helped Yan Song to the bed and sat down cross-legged. Then he said with his ears: "My father, the emperor may not be able to do it."

ah!

When Yan Song heard this, he fell into a dullness again.

As soon as this person gets older, he doesn't have enough brains. Most of the so-called Alzheimer's disease are like this.

He was stunned for a while before he asked anxiously: "What should I do?"

Yan Shifan was extremely calm. His eyes flashed, then he followed him with his ears and said softly: "For the sake of the present, the only way to protect King Jing from the throne."

King Baojing takes over?

Yes, King Baojing takes over!

After hearing this, Yan Song finally woke up completely.

Of course he knew what kind of virtue King Jing was. This kid was a second-generation ancestor, and he was not as good as Jiajing. It would be too simple to hold this kid in his hands.

He thought for a while and then asked, "King Jing is not as good as King Yu, and he is deposed and appointed as the youngest. How can we block the leisurely mouths of the ministers?"

Yan Shifan said proudly: "My ministers, that's a big deal. In the court, only those guys from the Yangming lineage dare to sing opposite us. As long as they are suppressed, who dares to talk too much?"

This is true. The Yangming lineage is not so easy to suppress. Yang Cong alone is enough for them to have a headache.

Yan Song thought about it and couldn't help but sigh: "The Yangming lineage is not so easy to suppress. It's probably difficult for us to suppress Yang Cong alone."

Yan Shifan heard this and said in a dark voice: "Yang Cong is indeed difficult to deal with, but this time, he is not lucky. If something really happens to the emperor, we can definitely put this huge shit basin on his head!"

What does this mean?

Yan Song is really old, his mind is no longer as enlightened as before, especially in front of Yan Shifan, he seems even more dull.

He really couldn't figure out why he held Yang Cong's head. He was not in the camp now and there was a fire in the imperial tent. What did it have to do with him?
