Apocalypse looked at the hole in the iron box for a while, thought about it and asked the internal guard to open the iron box, and then took out the small box from the inside, and saw that although the small box was intact on the outside, the color had turned black. The apocalypse asked Tan Jing to take the big iron box away, and when he saw that only the queen and Siqin were still there, he said, "What else do you guess is inside?" ”

The queen said: "The concubine thinks that no matter what, it is a good thing. ”

Apocalypse asked, "Why do you say that?" Did you think of something? ”

The queen said: "The emperor originally said that this is a token to see Taizu, and the concubine feels that Taizu has returned to heaven for more than 200 years, and it is only suitable for meeting in the temple and not for private meetings." And the concubine has a bad premonition, that is, this thing is probably not a good thing, and she always feels that it is full of demonic taste. ”

Apocalypse didn't make a sound, took out the key to open the small box, gently took out the topaz, and took a closer look, seeing that the shape of the topaz had not changed, but it had lost its warm luster. Siqin said: "Your Majesty, this thing is estimated to be useless, in the past, the concubines would involuntarily be scared when they saw it, but now they don't feel anything." ”

Tianqi thought for a while and said: "Now it seems that this jade is indeed psychic, and it originally contains an unknown very terrifying power, this power was originally supposed to come to meet Taizu on May 16, but I don't know why it came out ten days in advance." ”

Siqin said: "I heard the guards say that what rushed out of it was two balls of light, one yellow and one white, one of which was to go to the Qianqing Palace to look for the emperor and plunged into the ground to cause an earthquake, and the other ball of light rushed to the southwest of the imperial city, which caused the explosion of the gunpowder factory. Since the power of the two balls of light has been used up, the emperor will not leave, and of course there is no danger of becoming stupid, congratulations to the emperor. ”

Apocalypse smiled bitterly and said, "In that case, you will sew this topaz on my little hat and wear it every day." I heard that this is what Emperor Shizong Jiajing wore all year round, and now I also learn from his old man, and I may not be able to complete his old man's unfinished immortal cultivation business. ”

Three days later, the imperial court designated the incident as an earthquake and the explosion of the gunpowder factory, the destruction of tens of thousands of houses were concentrated around the Wang Gong factory, more than 530 people died, the injured are not counted‖ Qing Palace damaged six houses, one of which has a deep hole in the ground, and more than 2,000 craftsmen who repair the main hall outside died, most of them died from falling or falling into serious injuries that could not be treated. Three of the officials of the DPRK and China were wounded, four of them died, two of them were buried together by the whole family, and more than 30 soldiers and generals in the city were killed and nearly 100 were injured.

The apocalypse ordered the officers and soldiers defending the city to build simple houses in the west school field for the victims to live in, and also provided free food and drinking water to avoid riots, and ordered the corpses in the city to be wrapped and pulled out of the city to be burned and buried deep to avoid the plague caused by the decomposition of the corpses in the hot weather. Fortunately, the imperial court just got a batch of silver, which was just used to save the emergency, but even if the matter was settled, it was estimated that the silver would be spent, which made Zuo Guangdou, the head of the household department, lament again and again that this household was a poor life.

Of course, it is not all bad news that makes people feel heavy, a craftsman who is responsible for building scaffolding next to the main hall of Qianqing Palace, found Tan Jing, the head of Qianqing Palace, the head of Qianqing Palace at the first time when the scaffolding collapsed, and pulled Tan Jing with red eyes and said hoarsely: "My original construction plan is not like this, at that time I thought that I would add more wood and more fulcrums, but they said that in order to save trouble, they can use a few less woods, and the responsibility for the collapse of the scaffolding this time cannot be counted on my head!" ”

Tan Jing was stunned at the time, and when he saw that the craftsman's crazy appearance was really terrifying, he followed him and said, "Okay, I don't blame you, I don't blame you!" After saying that, he went to the apocalypse to see if the emperor had an accident, and the craftsman fainted with happiness when he heard that the general manager said that he was not to blame. It can be seen that the greatest happiness of people is not how much money they have, but the ability to avoid the pressure they can't bear, and this thing also makes everyone feel a little relaxed atmosphere when they are in a bad mood.

It is said that there are two other things that can also make people laugh, one is the matter of the Jinyi Guard, who is responsible for monitoring the craftsmen outside the Qianqing Palace, saying that when the earthquake occurred, a group of people could not stand on their feet and lay on the ground, and an officer was pressed to the bottom of the wall and could not move, and as the earth shook from side to side, his forehead kept hitting the wall, and finally he didn't know that they were bleeding, and he was still asking after getting up: "Which of you is injured?" Which of you was hurt? In the end, I found that no one was injured, and I felt my forehead that was a little painful to know that I was injured, which shows that when people are nervous, all their sense of touch and pain is dull.

Another incident came out of the mouth of a gambler who said that he went to the teahouse early in the morning to play cards with people, and lost it in an hour with a penny. He wanted to owe two hands, but the others asked him to go back and get them, saying that it would be boring to play for a day, but as soon as he came out, there was an earthquake and an explosion within a few steps, and no one ran out except for him. He also said triumphantly: "Although I lost money, I picked up a life, these ghosts won my money, and they really became ghosts, it seems that sometimes losing some money is not a bad thing." ”

The above things make people laugh at most, but what happened to Ni Yuanlu, the imperial history of the Military Staff Department of the Military Affairs Yuan, I don't know whether to cry or laugh, after the apocalypse ordered Ni Yuanlu to be in charge ≡of the safety of gunpowder, Ni Yuanlu has to go to Wang Gongchang and Bei Xuechang and other key places early every two days and early in the morning to inspect a circle, in his words, it is not too much to be cautious a hundred times, and carelessness is enough to make many people regret it. Although the gunpowder factory exploded in the end, something happened to him, but it had nothing to do with him, so he couldn't blame him.

It is said that on the sixth day of the fifth lunar month, he had just gone to Wang Gong's factory to check it, and he walked home in a sedan chair with four lifts, and after walking not far away, he heard a deafening explosion, followed by the strong gas generated by the explosion, which swept all the way. It's May and it's the hot day, and both men and women wear little and loose clothes, and when the strong ang swept by, they took off all the clothes on everyone's bodies, leaving a street of slippery men and women looking at each other. Men are okay and say it doesn't matter, women are red-faced and looking for something to hide their shame, even if it is a wooden plank and a tile jar in front of them.

Although Ni Yuanlu is an official, in the face of the power of nature, the government and the people are equal, his advantage is that he is short, his body is compact, he was only taken off by Qi and given him shorts and shorts, even the top of the sedan chair and the sedan curtain were blown away, leaving only an empty sedan chair. Ni Yuanlu was in a daze when he heard someone calling him: "This big brother, can you do me a favor and take off your clothes for me to wear?" I can't see anyone now, and I'll be beaten to death by my dad when I go home. ”

Ni Yuanlu looked for a sound, and saw a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old on the side of the road calling him, because of his whole body, he squatted on the ground with his hands and knees, and tried to cover the important parts with his hands. Ni Yuanlu said: "Girl, I am the only one on my body, what should I do if I take it off to you?" I want to be face-saving too. ”

The girl who was squatting on the ground said with a crying voice: "Big brother, what are you afraid of as a man?" If we women go home like this, we will be laughed at and laughed to death. ”

Ni Yuanlu thought about it, and said: "Girl, I will take off this underwear for you at most, the pants can never be taken off, if you don't avoid it, I will carry you to the sedan chair and carry it home, this sedan chair has a cover." ”

The girl thought about it and only nodded, Ni Yuanlu took off her underwear and put it on the girl's body, and then said "offended" and picked up the girl and put it in the sedan chair.

When I walked to the door of the girl's house, I found that this people's house had been destroyed and turned into a cemetery, and only a grizzled person stood at the door, and the little girl changed this person's name to Dad. Seeing this situation, Ni Yuanlu could only explain the situation and ask if the father and daughter had any other places to go? If not, go to his house and stay for the time being, and wait until everything is well. The father and daughter were overjoyed when they heard that someone was willing to take them in, and after a thousand thanks, a group of people turned the sedan chair and went straight to Ni Yuanlu's house, who knew that after returning home, Ni Yuanlu's wife would quit.
