Chapter 42 is earth-shattering
The old prince laughed, "That's ah, whose son hurts!" ”
"You old horseman, you dare to make fun of me!"
"Your Majesty, the minister is telling the truth, there are still rumors among the people, how much does the old lady in the family love her children, do you think the queen mother loves the four princes more?"
When it came to the fourth, the emperor's expression was even more gentle, "The fourth, is a lively and active character, plus a tendon." ”
"It's a big deal, I don't want him to do it, just let me grow up smoothly, do some thrilling actions all day long, scare who is a group of internal servants, worried all day long."
"I just refused to follow the teacher in the upper study, where I read the Four Books and the Five Classics and the sayings of the saints."
"I'm afraid that one day he will play for himself."
"Your Majesty, you are too worried, your fourth prince is even younger than Qingqing, and he is at the age of being lively and active."
"Man, when he was young, he didn't touch fish and catch shrimp, he went up the mountain and down the river, and when he grew up, he couldn't go through these things again."
"Think about it, did you have a lot of fun when you were a kid?" The old prince lowered his voice and whispered in the emperor's ear.
The emperor laughed in disgust, "You, you will talk to my sons, and I don't know how much merit they have cultivated, with a good master like you watching." ”
"Oh, don't you dare to be a minister, the uncle of the princes."
The monarch and the ministers laughed and said, "Your Majesty, the weather has been getting cooler recently, you have to add more clothes sooner or later." ”
"I know, you should also pay more attention to your body, you are all such an old person, don't do some manual work all day long, you have a group of people to help you do it."
"Yes, the old minister knows."
The old prince coaxed the emperor to smile, and Fu'an on the side also laughed happily.
In the evening, the seven sons and brothers were so drunk in the private room on the third floor that they were not human, and the literati also poured sobering soup for this one and fed sobering medicine for the other.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and the hour was getting later, I couldn't help but be anxious, "Can you still do this?" Didn't you say you were going to go to fireworks? ”
Xia Jinghong was already so drunk that he couldn't stand up straight, and muttered in his mouth, "Fireworks, yes, my fireworks, fireworks, fireworks, just disappeared, he kicked Xing Zhaolin's stool again, Xing Zhaolin immediately woke up, "Who kicked Lao Tzu!" As soon as he finished speaking, he spread out on the stool again.
Qiu Ye is even more outrageous, the upper body is on the bed, the lower body is on the footrest, and the one who sleeps is called a fragrance.
The others slept crookedly, but only the literati remained a little awake, and he pinched his eyebrows slightly irritably.
Standing up and opening the door, the shopkeeper who was already waiting at the door stepped forward, "Young Master Wen, do you need anything?" ”
"You go get a few basins of water, call a few more people, wipe their faces for these young masters, wake them all up, and I'll go wash my face and refresh myself."
The literati also walked with a stagger, looking at Xiao Er on the side and being shocked, this is the stairs on the third floor, if you roll down like this, it will be strange if there is no big incident!
Just as he was about to speak to dissuade Young Master Wen, Lin Yin turned up from the stairwell on the second floor, and saw that the literati also hurriedly ran forward to help him.
"Oh, my Young Master Wen, why are you going?"
"I'm sober, I'm sobering, I'm sobering! Wait for a while to set off the fireworks. ”
Lin Yin was naturally worried that something would go wrong with him accidentally, so he helped him up the stairs. "Young master, young master, I'll help you, let's go to the backyard, there are few people."
The literati also nodded in agreement.
Let's just say that the drunks in the house were helped up by the shopkeeper one by one, and wiped their faces with a soft cloth soaked in water, Qiu Ye was the first to react, "Fireworks, my fireworks!" With a sudden, he sat up from the bed.
frightened a crowd, the shopkeeper hurriedly said, "It's not too late to set off fireworks in the middle of the night, young master, you don't have to be too anxious." ”
"Oh, don't be in a hurry, I said and lay down softly again."
Lin Qian also received a notice from the shopkeeper at this time, and walked into the wing room quickly. Commanded the shopkeepers to open the windows for ventilation, and then removed the table full of leftovers.
Under such a toss, several young masters slowly came to their senses, and they all had a headache.
"Brother Jinghong, where did the county lord buy Qiu Yuebai? Why is there so much stamina? Poured us all down. Is this Autumn Moon White? ”
Li Cheng picked up the empty wine vat in confusion and looked at it, "Qiu Yuebai is right, how can it be different from what I drank last time?" Did I drink fake wine last time? ”
"It's not the same as what I drink!" Dongfang Yu also said, "My family celebrated their birthdays before, and they also bought a few jars of good autumn moon white, I didn't feel so vigorous!" ”
Lin Qian smiled secretly in his heart, naturally it is different from the Qiuyue Bai you buy on the market. This was specially bought by the county lord, and a high degree of liquor was added to it, so it's strange if you can't drink it
He muttered in his heart, and walked over with a smile on his face, "A few young masters, wake up, we should set off fireworks in a while." ”
As he was saying this, a huge explosion sounded directly outside, and the explosions were one after another, and the sound was so loud that the entire table and floor were displaced with the vibration.
The nerves of several people, who were still a little confused, immediately woke up. Li Cheng asked, "Didn't you say that there will be a while before the fireworks are set off?" How did this be put in advance? ”
Lin Yin was also confused, "No, our fireworks are placed in the backyard, and we will invite a few young masters to the venue before they are released." ”
"And our fireworks, there shouldn't be such a loud explosion. Fireworks are placed in the sky. It's not on flat ground. ”
The literati who walked to the backyard also looked at the fireworks all over the ground, and was just about to speak, when he also felt the shaking of the earth and the sound of explosions in the distance, Lin Yin couldn't help but clench the literati's arm.
"No, something must have happened." Dongfang Yu heard this voice, and immediately pushed open the window to look outside.
Shouts were heard from the streets, and everyone ran to the southeast.
"Something's wrong, it's going to be something. Explode! Somewhere must have been the explosion? ”
Du Yuheng said, "Quick, let's hurry over and have a look!" Everyone hurriedly got dressed and was about to go downstairs, and the literati were also accompanied by Lin Yin, walking from the backyard to the front hall. After everyone gathered, they said goodbye to the four people in the store, gold, silver and money, took the torch handed over by the shopkeeper, and immediately rushed out of the door.
Xia Jinghong couldn't help but worry in his heart, today was his birthday, if something happened today, it was hard to guarantee that he would not have anything to do with him.
It's just that if you want to frame him, you have to wait for his fireworks to go off.
I don't know about it. It has nothing to do with him at all, everyone rushed to the scene, only to find that the fire was fierce and uncontrollable, the street was brightly lit, the people were there, you have a bucket of water, I have a scoop of water to fight the fire, just a drop in the bucket.
The patrol battalion in the capital also rushed to hear the news at this time, and saw a group of rich sons and brothers who were drunk and red-faced, and their steps were vain.
General Wang immediately took Xia Jinghong, who was the leader, aside, "The fire here is so big for the fourth young master, why are you here?" Go home and don't hurt you by mistake. ”
"What's going on?" Xia Jinghong hurriedly waved his hand and stopped greeting.
"According to the information we have obtained, most of the noodles on this street are sold, and the rice, flour and oil are all here, maybe they accidentally ignited something in their busy work, which caused the explosion?"
"At the moment, the fire is out of control, and half of the street has burned down. One hope can only be hoped for to stop the fire at the corner of the second street. ”
"After all, the layout of the houses in the capital is very orderly, if one is not well controlled, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties!"
"Okay," said the literati at this time, "is there anything we can do?" ”
General Wang Shen was a little hesitant on his face, "Several young masters are delicate and expensive, if they really want to help, it is better to help comfort the victims and take stock of the situation in the damaged victims' homes." ”
"Once we've put out the fire, we'll check the cause of the fire in detail."
"Okay, then do it, let's go our separate ways," General Wang and his subordinates joined the firefighting team again, and several young masters also rolled up their sleeves and began to move bricks and tiles. Lift the wounded man away from the street and into the square in front of him.
In the palace, the emperor and King Jing were playing chess, and the battle situation was scorching, and if the emperor was not careful, the emperor would fall into the trap that the old prince had already arranged.
At this time, his eyebrows were slightly twisted, and his face was solemn, as if he was thinking about how to get out of trouble next, at this time, Fu'an walked quickly to the palace.
knelt on the ground with a thud and shouted, "Your Majesty, something has happened to your majesty." A fire broke out suddenly in the southeast, for unknown reasons, and at this time an entire street had already been burned. ”
"The patrol battalion has tried its best to put out the fire at the scene, but the wind direction today is also southeast."
"The fire slowly became uncontrollable, so I had to retreat to the next street to clear out a road to cut off the fire and prevent it from spreading."
When the emperor heard this, he angrily threw down the chess pieces in his hand, "What are these people doing to eat?" How could a fire suddenly ignite in a good capital? Isn't it a day of dry rice? ”
The old prince also stood up at this time and asked, "Have you counted the number of injured people?" How many people were affected in total? How much money was lost? ”
"The specific situation will be known, wait and see." Fu'an said thoughtfully.
The old prince couldn't sit still at this time, turned around and knelt down to the emperor and saluted, "Your Majesty, the minister wants to go out of the palace first." ”
"It's okay, I can rest assured when you go to the scene, these wine bags and rice bags always make people so uneasy to do things."
"Yes, I obey." The old prince left the palace in a hurry, rode a fast horse and went straight to the southwest street.
In my heart, most of the people living in this southwest direction are some, ordinary people and small stalls.
It is several streets away from the green white jade hall. Xiao Si and they are all playing in the White Jade Hall today, and I think this matter should not hurt them.
