Chapter 446: The Great Fire (1)
The hawkers of the Great Song Dynasty are simply business-minded!
The rabbit who was sitting on horseback in Pan Kai's arms had just walked to the Suzaku Gate, and the street vendors were already selling the same clothes as the little lady!
The corners of the little eyes and mouth twitching in the seat seat, can you be more rational to follow the trend?
The Great Song Dynasty advocates simplicity and simplicity! It's not Li Tang!
The little eyes were guessing how long this trend of spicy eyes would be popular, and when he saw a burst of smoke rising in the distance, he secretly exclaimed in his heart!
Although the small-eyed chariot is at the front, he is sitting in it in the fashion of Bianjing, so he is not the first to see the smoke.
Hu Yanzan was the first to find out, and scolded his mother in his heart, how could he be so coincidental? !
Pan Renmei, Li Jilong saw that the situation was not right, and he didn't care about boasting according to the predetermined sequence, the two of them rode their horses together, one left and one right came to the side of the little eye's seat, and looked around vigilantly.
Pan Kai stuffed the rabbit to Jiuniang next to him, and rode his horse to the front of the team.
Jiuniang moved closer to Xiao Lei.
After Xiao Lei and Xiao Bai and others met, they were together, which saved Jiu Niang's business.
Today's Kaifeng Mansion Yin is concurrently served by Wei Yin, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, and he also came out today to welcome the triumphant army.
As soon as he saw the smoke, he hurriedly got off the sedan chair, broke away from the team, and rushed towards the thick smoke, of course, he also sent someone to inform Lu Duan, and Lu Duan quickly sent someone to inform Xiaoyan, saying that Wei Yin had rushed to the scene, please don't worry.
From seeing the smoke to taking their places, it was only a blink of an eye, so when the people of the Lu Duan faction had already run to the side of Xiaoyan and reported to Huyanzan, the people of Bianjing began to exclaim, "It's on fire! It's on fire!"
The crowd began to panic.
Although the fire was still far away from Yujie, the people who lived in that direction were in a hurry, for fear that their own family would suffer! With so many people, it seemed that chaos was about to break out.
At this time, I heard the students of the Martial Arts School shouting in unison, "The Eight Kings worship the God of Fire and celebrate the triumph of the army!"
The sound was higher and higher.
When the forbidden army who maintained order heard it, they didn't care whether it was true or not, and quickly explained to everyone in a hoarse voice that it was a ceremony to worship the god of fire carried out by the eight kings, don't panic!
When Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, he said that his throne was given to him by Zhou Shizong's son Chan, Zhou was Mude, and wood made fire, so he announced that his family was orthodox inherited by Huode, advocating red, starting from Zhao Kuangyin, and worshipping the god of fire every year.
Therefore, it was said that it was a ritual to worship the god of fire carried out by the eight kings, and the people believed it, and at a glance, the direction of the smoke really looked like the area of the palace.
The eight kings sitting in the sedan chair are not confused, can they not carry this pot?!
The Eight Kings wronged Xiao Lei, and this idea was really not what Xiao Lei thought.
Xiao Lei just looked at the direction of the smoke, his face was very bad, and anyone who happened to this during the celebration would not be able to look better.
Xiao Bai took a closer look, "How does it look like the direction of the Eight Princes' Mansion?"
Xiao Lei looked at it, don't say it, it's really like!"How could Eighth Uncle's house catch fire?!"
"The Eight Kings' house is on fire?" Rabbit was anxious, "Let's go put out the fire!"
Jiu Niang was reminded like this, and she was also anxious, Jiu Niang had never been to the Eight Princes' Mansion, and other palaces had not been to it, so I couldn't be sure if the Eight Princes' Mansion was on fire, but at a glance, that piece of land was next to the palace, but don't burn it to the palace!
Di Qing stood up at this time and said to Jiu Niang, "Liao Guogong, it is important to stabilize the people first. ”
With so many people, it's a mess.
On the way back to Beijing, Di Qing and Pan Kai Jiuniang also got acquainted, Pan Kai appreciated Di Qing very much, and when he taught Xiaobai, he also took Di Qing with him, so Di Qing didn't have any scruples, and directly gave Jiuniang this idea.
Di Qing didn't mention it, Jiu Niang couldn't remember that the royal family likes to worship the god of fire, who makes the little eyes worship the most is to send a son to Niangniang...
Di Qing just said his idea, Jiu Niang planned to change it a little, saying that it was the smoke caused by the small eyes, and it didn't seem to be good to push it on the eight kings, and before the order was given, Xiao Lei had already adopted it and told everyone to shout slogans.
Jiuniang could only silently order a wax for the Eight Kings in her heart!
A group of brothers with little eyes also heard it, and everyone was skeptical, yes, they all believed it a little, maybe the eighth child can really do it, the eighth is reliable, but who makes Xiao Lei like to find him...
The eight kings, who were originally very depressed, looked at the billowing smoke in the sky, and were also stunned, it was really the direction of the palace, and I didn't know which palace was on fire!
What's even worse is that the east wind is blowing at this time!
The little eyes also discovered that this terrible east wind would blow the fire towards the palace! Banniang still has a big belly!
Hurriedly called Qilang, "Hurry into the palace and send Banniang to Yang's house!"
As soon as Qilang ran, Xiaoyan called Qilang back again, "Send someone to ask the Queen Mother to move to the Li family!" As for Zhao Kuangyi's other concubines, Xiaoyan couldn't take care of it for the time being.
…
Banniang was with Empress Dowager Li at this time, and the concubines also gathered together with fine softness.
Bianjing has a large population and dense houses, fire prevention has always been the top priority, Kaifeng Prefecture has special people engaged in firefighting, and some of the forbidden troops have also been trained in firefighting.
But no matter how you prevent it, there will always be one or two fires a year, so the firefighting work in Kaifeng Mansion is actually experienced.
However, today I just met the triumph of the army, and I met Xiaoyan who went out of the city to meet the heroes in person, so many forbidden troops were sent to stand guard in the royal street!
There are fewer people fighting the fire, but the wind is blowing... Or the east wind!
This is terrible!
Although the fire site was still a little far from the palace, Banniang did not dare to take it lightly, and hurriedly sent someone to invite the queen mother and the concubine to the easternmost part of the palace, and then arranged for the palace people to prepare fire extinguishing tools, just in case.
The Queen Mother arrived at the meeting place empty-handed, but many of the concubines brought a small package.
Banniang then remembered that there is a treasure in the palace!
Hurry up and order someone to move the collection of books in the third hall of the Secret Pavilion!
Banniang heard Xiaoyan say that many of them are books collected by Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi since the end of the Tang Dynasty, there are more than 80,000 books, many of which are unique books.
The gold and silver are burned, uh, it seems that the gold is not afraid of fire, but as soon as the books are burned, the loss will be great, especially the many solitary books!
When Shichiro arrived, the palace people and the guards were sweating profusely carrying books...
Banniang refused the proposal to go to the Yang family, and the Queen Mother did not go to the Li family.
The Queen Mother instead persuaded Banniang, "You are pregnant, go to Yang's house to rest, there is a mourning family in the palace!"
Baniang can't go in public or private!
Yu Gong, how could the queen escape before the fire reached the palace?
Yu Private, this is his own home, how can he take all means to avoid the palace from catching fire!
What's more, at this time, the air will be ready, and when the air is pungent, Banniang will make plans!
"Qilang, you go to the scene of the fire to take a look, if the fire can't be controlled, the surrounding houses will be demolished!" Banniang ordered, "No matter whose house it is, it will be demolished!"
So, after Xiaoyan rushed back to the palace to listen to the latest report, when he saw the collection of books that had been moved out and placed in the square wrapped in oilcloth, he received a report that Qilang was leading people to demolish the house of the Chu Wang...
