Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

"it is good."

Zhang Xin did not stop Zhu Gaochi, nor did he say anything extra, and just agreed directly.

"Then I'll go."

After the brief conversation, Zhu Gaochi led his men to the side of the Jinshen Hall where the fire was the least severe without looking back, and went in without hesitation.

"Crown Princess, the steam and water pressure dragon has been assembled."

Not long after Zhu Gaochi entered, the chief eunuch of the palace came to report.

"Turn on the machine and put out the fire."

"Go outside the palace and call back all the water dragons that can be called back."

"Let Wei Guan lead the Tiqi to guard the palace."

"The injured ones should be replaced to help hold the water dragon. Let the others go up."

Even though Zhang Xin was confused, he still gave the orders one by one.

If we don’t count the accident that Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Di encountered in the fire.

She had actually rehearsed this in her mind countless times.

In my previous life, in the 18th year of Yongle, the Forbidden City had just been completed.

The whole family moved in.

On the first day of the first lunar month of the nineteenth year of the Yongle reign, my father-in-law received court congratulations in the Fengtian Hall.

On the night of April 15 of the same year, there was thunder and lightning, and the Fengtian Hall was struck by lightning and caught fire.

The fire burned for two days and two nights, and the Fengtian Hall, Huagai Hall and Jinshen Hall were completely burned down.

The seventeenth day was the Wanshou Festival, but the celebrations were stopped because of the fire in the three palaces.

Later, rumors spread.

It is said that it was because of his father-in-law's excessive military spending, waste of manpower and money, disrespect for ancestral systems, forcible relocation of the capital to the capital, and repeated voyages to the West that caused the wrath of God and the resentment of the people.

Because of this, my father-in-law became more paranoid.

Apart from hoping that Zhu Zhanji would show some good face, the suppression of Zhu Gaochi continued to escalate.

No matter how cautious Zhu Gaochi was, it wouldn't work.

Before the fire, there was the grand Tang Sai'er Uprising.

After the fire, the Tatars, who had been peaceful for a while, attacked Xinghe and killed the defending commander, the commander-in-chief Wang Fan.

Zhu Gaochi was scolded to death, but he still had to raise food and fodder for his father-in-law so that he could conquer Mobei again.

It was also in this year that Xia Yuanji prevented his father-in-law from leading the army in person, and was thrown into jail and his house was confiscated by his father-in-law.

What Xia Yuanji said was like scolding his father-in-law.

【Due to years of unsuccessful campaigns, eight or nine out of ten of the military and horse reserves have been lost. In addition, disasters have continued, and both the internal and external are exhausted. Moreover, the Holy Saint is not in good health and needs to be nursed back to health. Please send a general to fight, and don't trouble Your Majesty.】

Among all the civil and military officials in the court, only Xia Yuanji dared to speak out.

Neither Zhu Gaochi nor Zhang Xin dared to do so.

Poor.

When I think about it, it's like robbing Peter to pay Paul.

So until my father-in-law passed away, there was no money to rebuild these three halls.

In this life, to avoid such a thing from happening again.

When the Forbidden City was being built, Zhang Xin added giant water tanks for firefighting.

There are nearly five hundred iron water tanks of various sizes throughout the Forbidden City.

The water dragons we use today are far from the water-jetting systems that were only useful in the early stages of a fire in the past.

It is the latest steam-raising and water-pressing faucet invented by the palace craftsmen.

One part of it originated from an invention of the ship's sailors, which is to lead seawater into a special box. After it is aerated, the jet of water can be used to hit pirates who attempt to board the ship.

The other part is the water-lifting steam engine that Zhu Gaochi brought back some time ago.

These two things were skillfully combined together by the craftsmen in the palace.

To put out a fire in the palace, there was no need to carry water back and forth. All that was needed was a long pipe to pump water from the moat, which would flow continuously into a water tank and then be sprayed out through a pipe with a smaller opening to put out the fire.

It just takes time to start the steam engine, it takes time to build the water pipe, and it also takes time to bring water from the moat.

When they moved to Beijing, Zhang Xin had been waiting for this fire for a long time.

Never waited.

After the steam-boosting and water-pressing faucet was finally developed, Zhang Xin finally put his mind at ease.

Unexpectedly, it was released too early.

At this moment, Zhang Xin felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his chest and he could hardly breathe.

It's obvious that they don't live in the palace very often.

It is extremely rare for a father-in-law to spend the night in his own palace.

Is it because she changed all the previous things that now the heaven wants to shorten the lives of her father-in-law and Zhu Gaochi and put the blame on Zhu Zhanji?

How could she be worthy of Xu family!

Xishan Bieyuan.

Although Zhu Di and Xu were lying down, they soon heard a loud noise outside. Zhu Di held down Xu who was about to get up and raised his voice to ask:

"what happened?"

"Your Majesty, the palace has reported that Jinshen Palace was struck by lightning and caught fire. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess have already gone there."

The young eunuch outside the door quickly replied.

"serious?"

"Your Majesty, I can see the palace fireworks at the door. They must be quite big."

Zhu Di simply stopped sleeping and got up.

Xu also lifted the quilt and sat up.

The couple went to the door together and watched.

There was indeed a clear and visible flame rising into the sky.

Zhu Di became more and more depressed.

The hall was struck by lightning. God really didn't like him as an emperor!

"Look, God is protecting you."

Seeing Zhu Di's gloomy face, Xu smiled.

“You call this protecting me?”

Zhu Di felt that Xu was protecting her husband without any bottom line.

"Why not? Think about it, if you didn't come back tonight, would you have slept in the Jinshen Palace? Crack, the thunder must have struck right at you. But the emperor didn't come back early or late, and returned to the villa before the thunder struck. He is so lucky!!!"

Xu clasped his hands in thanks from the bottom of his heart.

Let the Jinshen Hall burn down; this can be considered as spending money to ward off disaster.

"Well, if you put it that way, that's true."

Zhu Di thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.

"So, Daddy is blessing you. The ancestors are also blessing the emperor! It doesn't matter if it burns down. There is no need to worry about whether to tear it down and rebuild it."

Xu felt that this was God's will.

The Jinshen Hall burned down. Even if it did not affect the two main halls in front, there would still be smoke and fire.

It will be a good time to repaint the three main halls.
