Zhu Youzhu hurried to Renshou Palace.

But seeing that the Empress Dowager Zhou was sitting on the edge of the bed in a hurry, like an old and helpless old woman, when she saw Zhu Youji, she didn't wait for Zhu Youzhu to salute, and took her grandson's hand.

At this moment, the old lady's mind seemed to settle down.

"Emperor, are you alright?"

When the Empress Dowager heard about the fire, she was not in a hurry to do anything else, but first cared about the safety of the emperor.

This made Zhu Youzhu both moved and blamed himself.

Zhu Youzhu said with a sad face: "Imperial grandmother, it was your grandson who frightened you. ”

"When the mourners saw you, they were relieved. It's good that people are okay. Empress Dowager Zhou neither complained nor complained, and she didn't even ask how far the fire in Qingning Palace burned.

Intentionally give Zhu Youzhu the steps down.

Zhu Youzhi helped the Empress Dowager Zhou to lie down, but the Empress Dowager Zhou kept holding his hand and refused to let go, so that Zhu Youzhu felt that the imperial grandmother was still frightened, but she refused to tell him in front of him that she was putting pressure on him.

"Imperial grandmother, let your grandson stay by your side and watch you sleep."

"Well, the emperor is really a filial child. The mourning family, as well as the former emperor, didn't misunderstand you. ”

Dai Yi, who followed in, moved a chair to the side of the bed, Zhu Youzhu sat on it, and his grandson held hands.

The emperor, despite his own predicament, stood by the bedside.

Empress Dowager Zhou settled down, closed her eyes, and from time to time opened her eyes to look at Zhu Youji, with kindness and peace in her expression, and fell asleep after a long time.

Zhu Youzhu also didn't leave for a long time, he had to keep vigil in Renshou Palace.

……

……

Dai Yi and Xiao Jing, after Zhu Youzhu gave him a look, both withdrew from the hall.

Xiao Jing looked more nervous, he, the governor of Dongchang, was responsible for the failure to fight the fire, and when he left Renshou Palace, he looked at Dai Yi with a look of help.

"Kegong, this will be that fire, don't take it too seriously, haven't you listened to what the Queen Mother said? It's good that people are okay. ”

There seems to be a deep meaning in Dai Yi's words.

Xiao Jing said: "That Zhang Gongsheng had already given an early warning, and there was no one in the palace, so no one had an accident." But if the temple burns down......"

Dai Yi put his hand on Xiao Jing's shoulder and reminded: "We are all there, don't force it if we can't do it, the key is that the rest of the palaces should not have any more fires." Watch out tonight. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jing understood.

Whether to save the fire in Qingning Palace or not, in fact, it doesn't matter anymore, anyway, now we all know that it is a heavenly fire, should we put out that fire as soon as possible and reduce Li Guang's responsibility?

This fire was warned by Zhang Zhou, and it can't be avoided, if there is another fire in other places, then you, Xiao Jing, am afraid that it will be difficult to apologize for his crimes.

"Understand, understand, do it."

Xiao Jing was also smart at this time, and hurriedly led people to the direction of Qianqing Palace.

……

……

East Palace, Duanben Palace.

Zhu Houzhao yawned and rubbed his eyes, and shouted, "Night pot!" ”

A night pot was handed over and held by a man.

Zhu Houzhao was about to get up at night.

Suddenly shivered, as if it was too cold, and then the person shrank back into the bed.

"Shhh...... It's cold? ”

When he opened his eyes, he was instantly startled.

But when I saw that on the edge of his bed, there were a few people standing there, Liu Jin, Gao Feng, Gu Dayong, Qiu Ju, Luo Xiang and others were all listed.

After a long time, Zhu Houzhao came back to his senses from his confusion: "It's not dawn, why are you standing here?" What about lining up to pee? ”

Liu Jin, who was standing at the front, cried with a sad face, probably feeling that tonight was very wretched, and said cautiously: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, there are fires everywhere in the palace tonight, and the braziers in each hall have been moved out." I was afraid that you would be cold, so I had to call a few more people, so if there were too many people...... It's popular, and it's a little warmer. ”

The heating of the Daming Imperial Palace basically relies on the stove of smokeless red Luo charcoal, and there is also a "centipede road" that will use the principle of fire kang in the partial hall, but the centipede road has destroyed the feng shui of the temple after all, and the existing palace building in the Ming Dynasty was built in the Yongle period, and the main hall has not touched the foundation.

Even in the Qing Dynasty, warm pavilions were added around the Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace.

And from the Ming Dynasty to the Hongzhi period, there were not so advanced things.

It's okay if you don't remind you, once reminded, Zhu Houzhao scolded: "Damn, you want to freeze to death?" Bring the brazier to the main palace and come in. ”

Liu Jin said: "Your Highness, just stick to it for one night." The fire on the side of Qingning Palace has already burned several palaces, and the fire is continuous......"

These words made Zhu Houzhao stunned.

Zhu Houzhao pondered for a moment, propped his head and said, "Qingning Palace is on fire?" Why does this sound so familiar? ”

Gao Feng on the side reminded: "Prince, have you forgotten?" It was that Zhang Jieyuan who had warned His Majesty. Prince, you also said that Your Majesty would cut off his head. ”

"Is it really on fire?"

Zhu Houzhao's little eyes were flashing, and he didn't seem to care about the cold at this time, so he jumped out of the quilt at once, jumped to the ground barefoot, and was about to run to the door.

Liu Jin hurriedly went over and pulled: "Little ancestor, what are you going to do?" ”

"I'm going to go out to see the excitement!"

This kind of thing, if you don't know, forget it, if you know, can you miss Zhu Houzhao's share?

Only when several people worked together could they be regarded as blocking Zhu Houzhao.

"Get out of the way!"

Zhu Houzhao was annoyed.

Gao Feng and others hurriedly took the clothes and put them on Zhu Houzhao, several people held Zhu Houzhao, and then put Zhu Houzhao's boots on, Zhu Houzhao was almost carried by someone to complete the action of dressing and putting on shoes, and then the person landed again, and he could run out of the palace.

Zhu Houzhao looked in the direction of Qingning Palace, and looked disappointed: "How can there be fire?" ”

Liu Jin said: "The fire has been almost two hours, and the sky is almost bright. If this is not extinguished, I'm afraid the next step is to burn over, right? ”

Zhu Houzhao sniffed vigorously with his nose and nodded: "It really smells of smoke." Oh, that Zhang Zhou is not simple, this can be said by him? Will someone help him set the fire? ”

It was Gu Dayong who said helplessly: "No, many people saw that it was a flash of lightning that came down and caught fire." ”

"Heavenly thunder? Wonderful! You can talk about it to this palace. ”

"Your Highness, don't you want a night pot?"

"That's right, suffocate the palace, let the palace sprinkle this urine first, you talk about yours, it won't affect you."

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you better rest early. After the results of this matter are released tomorrow, someone will explain it to you 1510. ”

"Have you also learned to hang your appetite? Believe it or not, this palace ...... you"

"Prince, don't be impatient, the fire has just been extinguished, the slaves and maids know too little, and when you wake up, the slaves and maids will find out more information, and they will definitely tell you in detail."

……

……

The sky was bright.

Zhu Youzhu stayed in Renshou Palace for half the night, and finally came over from there, accompanied by Dai Yi, Xiao Jing, and Chen Kuan, as well as Ning Jin, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, and Zhang Yong, the eunuch of the imperial eunuch, to inspect outside the fire field of Qingning Palace.

At this time, the fire field of Qingning Palace was still relatively chaotic.

The brocade guards and eunuchs were cleaning up the mess, all kinds of fire-fighting equipment, as well as half-burned furniture, metal utensils, jewelry and jewelry...... And the palace maid is still doing some cleaning.

Everywhere were the ruins and broken walls that had been burned by the fire, and there was smoke in some places, and there was a pungent smell in the air, which made Zhu Youzhu unbearable to lean forward to look.

"Ahem." Zhu Youzhi coughed.

"Your Majesty, the dragon body is important." Dai Yi said with concern on his face.

Zhu Youzhu said with emotion: "This is a warning from the heavens, if the empress dowager is still in the palace, it will be too late to help...... Then I really became a sinner of the Ming Dynasty, how will the history books evaluate me, an unfilial king? Will it be comparable to Shang Xuan and Sui Yang? ”

The emperor felt sorry for himself there.

When several eunuchs around heard this, they didn't feel good in their hearts.

Although the emperor's words, they have some disagree...... That is, even if the Empress Dowager Zhou is inside, she will basically have time to rescue people after the fire.

"Thinking of the Empress Dowager and her old man, my heart is obviously full of horror, but I still want to comfort Yu Me, and I have no place to be ashamed."

Chen Kuan reminded: "Your Majesty, when the early dynasty is approaching, the ministers estimate that they are about to enter the palace now. ”

Zhu Youzhu waved his hand and said, "Today, let's drop out of the day." There is a reason for it, who will tell them, I believe they can understand me. ”

"Yes."

Chen Kuan also felt that the emperor's state was not suitable for going to the court at all.

Besides, such a diligent and self-denying emperor, if he is just because of the fire in Qingning Palace, he wants to drop out of the dynasty one day, and the minister has to chatter, then the minister is a little ignorant, and the emperor is polite to you, but you can't kick your nose in the face.

Dai Yi said again: "Your Majesty, now that the fire is under control, shouldn't Zhang Jieyuan be summoned to the palace...... Ask in detail? ”

Several of the eunuchs pricked up their ears.

This night's fire, it seems that no one deliberately mentioned Zhang Zhou and Li Guang, but now that the fire is out and the sky is bright, it is time to talk about something serious, and it is time to discuss what caused the fire.

Even if it's a heavenly fire, there should be a reason, right?

As a palace person, we deeply regret the fire.

But we are looking forward to what will happen after the fire.

Zhu Youzhu said: "Yes, thanks to Bingkuan, if it weren't for him...... The consequences are unimaginable! He saved the little princess and the queen mother...... I don't know how to reward him, and I still ...... him before Alas! Dai Yi, you summoned Zhang Zhou for me...... I'm in a bit of a trance right now, so you can go back in two hours, and let me slow down first...... The number of days......"

At this moment, a childish voice came from a distance, and the voice seemed to be very excited: "Father, the son is late!" Is there a fire? Hurry up and put out the fire! Wow...... It's spectacular. ”
