The correct way to open the first favorite concubine of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 51 [Click 7 plus updates] Bathed in fire

At the moment of danger, when there is no time to think, people's first reaction is to protect the most precious things in their hearts.

He chose me in a flash, and I am grateful.

But leaving fathers and grandfathers behind for the sake of women is a big unfilial act in ancient times.

The morality of the ancients seldom punished men, but only punished women who were regarded as "disaster".

No matter what happens, it is women who seduce men to learn bad things.Daji destroyed the Shang Dynasty, Baosi died in Zhou Dynasty, and Concubine Yang Guifei destroyed the Tang Dynasty.It seems that King Zhou of Shang, King You of Zhou, and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang were not at fault.

So if Heidan doesn't rush back into the fire, but just waits peacefully outside with me like this, then when the emperor comes out, he will know the behavior of the grandson, and it will be up to him to punish him lightly or severely, but my "disaster" "It's dead.

If he had been calmer and alert earlier and pushed him to save the emperor first, perhaps he would not have to go back to the scene of the fire and take risks.But in an emergency, life and death are at stake, so I can't think so much, and it's useless to regret it now.

If I just stand still and wait for the black egg to come out, it's not good.

But if I rushed back to the scene of the fire, Sun Ruowei's thin body not only failed to save anyone, but failed Heidan to save me in the first place.

Just like what the princess and Zhu Xiaowu said when they stopped Zhu Laosan who wanted to save someone, "Go in and you will not be able to save anyone, but it will cost you an unknown number of lives."

The fire intensified, turning the sky red.The outer part of the city tower and the main hall are almost burnt out, and there is a risk of another collapse at any time.

Almost all the imperial guards have been dispatched from the other city gates to the Meridian Gate, pouring water into the burning city tower with sheepskin water bags.The water trucks of the Ministry of War and the firefighting soldiers scattered in the two "red shops" at 110 in Jinling City also came one after another with buckets.The eunuchs drew water from the Menhai vat in pairs with water guns and sprayed it on the tower.However, at this moment, the north wind is fierce, and the wind is helping the fire, and the fire is long and powerful, and the fire shows no sign of weakening.In addition to flying smoke in the air, the burning smell of people has begun to permeate.

I smelled that smell and felt sick to my stomach. My heart felt as if it was being torn apart by someone's force. I was overwhelmed by boundless fear. I didn't dare to think about Zhu Zhanji's current situation at all.

I tried my best, tried to concentrate, and wondered if there were any modern scientific and technological principles that could help put out fires, carbon dioxide, foam, dry powder... none of them existed in the ancient times of the fifteenth century...suddenly, someone's voice from the previous life sounded in my mind: "Fire extinguishing The most efficient is water mist, which is nearly three times as effective as water column." It seems to be a distant past life, what my brother and I said when discussing the Australian wildfires.

Water mist... Where can I get water mist... There are atomizers in modern times, but there is nothing in this damn ancient time...

In my panic, I caught a glimpse of the gold thread coat that Xiao Lian was holding in her hand - because it was a royal gift and indestructible, the girl did not forget to take it when she ran for her life.I pulled a little servant over and put the gold thread coat on the mouth of the water gun. The little servant looked at me suspiciously without knowing it. I tore my throat and shouted: "Don't ask why, quickly spray water on the tower!"

The very fine water rushed up the tower and turned into water mist, and the water mist... Sure enough, the effect was stronger, and the servant was quite surprised.I didn't care about the imperial gift or not, so I quickly called a guard to chop the gold thread clothes into several pieces and distribute them to several water guns. With a multi-pronged approach, the fire was finally brought under control.

Not long after, someone shouted: "Prince... the grandson has also come out! Your Majesty, His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, and... His Royal Highness King Zhao have all come out!"

Hei Dan was carrying the prince on his back, Zhao Wang and Fan Hong were helping to support him, and behind him Mu Yan was supporting Princess Zhao.

As soon as the group of people came out, the surrounding imperial guards swarmed up and took the prince, and carried him on a golden vine stretcher.

I ran towards Heidan with all my strength, but slowed down the moment I saw the figure of the emperor, and silently followed behind the emperor and his party.

Hei Dan was disheveled, but fortunately he was not injured.Because they smoked a lot in the fire scene, several people looked very bad.Heidan was better, but the prince was almost half comatose, his clothes were burnt to pieces, and he was finally woken up by the imperial doctors who were busy with needles and drugs.

The prince opened his eyes and saw the emperor, and called "Father Emperor" angrily. The emperor stepped forward and shook his hand and said, "It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up. Send it back to the East Palace and rest well."

Zhu Gaochi coughed, with snot and tears running down his bulging face: "I thought I would never see my father again."

No matter how much Zhu Di disliked him on weekdays, he was his own father after all, and he burst into tears when he saw this, and said kindly: "With the protection of your father, you will be fine." You are also a capable person for your son, so what are you afraid of?"

Heidan hurriedly expressed panic, saying that after rushing in, he saw the prince nearby.

"At a critical moment, one saves one. Is Grandpa Huang so stingy that he wants to be serious with you and jealous of your father?" Zhu Di lightly patted the layer of coke-like ashes on his shoulder: "Father and son!" Filial piety, love between men and women, it is difficult for you to preserve it."

Others present may not be able to understand it, Heidan heard the words, but his eyes showed fear, and he began to look at Zhu Di with almost pleading eyes.

My heart was in my throat.Zhu Di didn't say anything for a long time, and I almost resigned to my fate in the end, but I heard him sigh softly: "It's so cold to be alone in the sky."

Heidan and I were a little puzzled, Zhu Di looked up at the sky, and smiled like a long sigh: "You girl, you tore off the gold-threaded clothes I gave you, but saved my children and grandchildren. I'll forgive you this time."

Heidan and I quickly knelt down to thank each other.

Zhu Di said: "I'm tired. Ask Ma Wang to save the fire and report it tomorrow after finding out the cause of the fire. Let's discuss the merits and demerits of others tomorrow."

So everyone dispersed, and the servants of each family were still alive to serve the masters of each family back to the palace.

The prince still needs to take medicine to take care of his body, the princess didn't comment on today's events, and let Heidan and I go back to rest.

As soon as Heidan and I returned to the room, we couldn't help but threw ourselves into his arms and cried loudly.

"Oh...it's all right, don't be afraid." Heitan patted me lightly: "I didn't get hurt at all."

I couldn't breathe and hiccupped from crying: "It's all my fault. If you were asked to save His Majesty first, you wouldn't have to come out and rush back with a fire..."

Heidan patted my back to help me calm down: "You are the one who is difficult for others. Why do you want me to leave you by my side? It is absolutely impossible." He also said: "I am in a dangerous situation. , they will definitely try their best to save me, but if you are trapped and the people in the palace are snobbish, I am afraid that they will not save you so desperately, then what do you want me to do? Don't you still have to go into the fire? I would rather bring you out first , I feel at ease too."

Although his words are ironic, but when I think of the sky full of fire, the raging fire almost engulfed the tower and the person I was holding, I was afraid, so I cried, and I couldn't stop my tears.

Heidan wanted to wipe my tears for me at first, but later he just hugged me and let me cry as much as I wanted.

I was very sad on this side, but he was quite happy on the other side, he smiled and said: "If you really love me and feel sorry for me, then we will be considered a draw, and you are not allowed to take Beifa in the future. This incident made me laugh, and I’m not allowed to tell my children in the future.”

I was crying hard, but I was choked by his witty words, neither crying nor laughing. After a second pause, tears burst out again: "When is it so long and you are still saying this...you are annoying..."

When I finally calmed down, I asked him what happened in the tower.

Heitan sighed faintly: "It's only after things happen that you can see people's hearts."

There was chaos when the fire broke out, and everyone fled in all directions.Just as the prince got up to leave, someone knocked over the jade case next to him, knocking down the prince by the way, and the table case happened to be on the prince's lap.The crown prince and Zhu Zhanyong came up to move, but a woman with small feet and two children couldn't move, so the crown prince drove the princess and took the children to escape first.The princess had no choice but to take the two children away while calling for help.At this time, Concubine Guo and the others had no idea where they had gone.

The crown prince was blocked by the jade table in the corner, and the people coming and going could not see him, and the smoke from the fire made him unable to yell out. Just when he was burning with anxiety, the king of Zhao, the concubine, and his brother-in-law passed by, stopped and the three of them worked together The jade table was set up to help him up, but unexpectedly, a burning beam fell down, blocking the way, and the group of people were trapped inside.

Heidan said: "When I arrived, I was shocked when I saw Third Emperor Uncle. I was afraid that he would take the opportunity to murder Father, but unexpectedly he saved him."

I was also amazed when I heard it.

When Fan Hong and several young eunuchs followed Heidan into the fire scene, they each brought a few buckets of water, and poured the fire on the beam to the ground. Zhao Wang was helped by Mu Yan to carry the prince out, and Heidan took care of him from the outside. .Just in time to fight the fire outside, the overall fire was relatively small, and a group of people went out one after another. When they were about to come out, Zhao Wang suddenly said to Heidan: "I'm tired. Your father, you can carry it yourself."

I asked, "What does he mean by that?"

Heidan said: "I don't understand either. Maybe he is used to fighting against the king everywhere in the court, and he doesn't want all the officials to see that he is kind to the king. Or there may be other considerations. But since he saved all the way If father comes out, if anything happens in the future, I will treat him as my own uncle and let him go."

The two of them sighed, and I asked him, "You said, was the water accident an accident?"

"I don't think anyone did it on purpose. Even the second emperor uncle won't get much benefit from such a thing." Heidan said: "This year's lights are indeed set too high. The pagoda headlights The sharp point almost reached the top of the Meridian Gate, and with the small lamp decorated on it, it was as big as the north wind evil door at that time, and a gust of wind blew the lamp to the wooden railing and lit it, and there were some."

Speaking of the King of Han, I said depressedly: "Your Majesty will 'see the truth in adversity' with him this time. I don't know how lawless he will spoil him later. It's nothing to spoil him, but I'm afraid that he will use his power to trick us again."

Heidan said: "If he really wants to do this, it's just another story of 'Zheng Boke's Duan Yuyan'. It's just a story in the history books. It happened in my own house. At first I thought it was abnormal and unbelievable, but after thinking about it, this is normal in an ordinary family, where brothers and sisters respect each other, and one mother compatriots. But even if I know that my family is abnormal today, I still have to continue to live in such an abnormal way. The world is absurd So far. Grandpa Huang's phrase "It's so cold to be alone in the sky", I pondered all the way, and only now I gradually understand. He knows that one day I will have a father as if I have no father, and have a mother as if I have no father. Mother, it is better to have brothers than to have no brothers, and to have children and grandchildren is better than to have no children and grandchildren, and to be reduced to a lonely family. Grandpa Huang is thinking that by then, the heights will be extremely cold, at least leave me with you by my side."
