Qingning Palace is the residence of Empress Dowager Zhou.

Both the current Emperor Hongzhi and the late Emperor Xianzong were very filial to her.

Oh, by the way, she is the concubine of the God of War in Tumu Fort.

This battle feels like a long time ago, but there is still such an old man alive in the palace.

Zhu Houzhao thought of this incident when he accompanied Queen Zhang to Qingning Palace.

I was thinking about when I would get to know her better, and asked about what happened back then, to see what kind of decision-making process my ancestors used to do such unreliable things.

It’s a terrible trap for future generations like them.

The Empress Dowager Zhou is also a kind old man. After all, she is so old. Moreover, when her husband was captured by the enemy and came back, he died early when he came back. Her son also died early. After experiencing so many miseries in life, you say she

What else do you want?

Every day I eat fast, chant Buddha's name, and cook... my great-grandchildren.

Therefore, he loved Zhu Houzhao equally.

Now that the little guy is willing to take the initiative to accompany her to relieve her boredom, she is naturally very happy.

But before I finished talking about the card technique, there was suddenly some commotion outside.

Zhu Houzhao also looked at the eunuchs who hurried over with a strange look.

"The Empress Dowager, the Long Live Mountain Yuxiu Pavilion has gone missing! Please prepare the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and Your Highness. You must not evacuate to other places temporarily."

Long Live Mountain is actually the back garden, which is quite close to the harem.

On the contrary, the front is farther.

"Where is the emperor?" Empress Dowager Zhou asked immediately.

"Your Majesty is in Qianqing Palace."

In this case, everyone will feel more at ease. After all, the distance between the three main halls is far. If you were to wander around in the back garden, it would be scary to death.

"Your Majesty, come to the Queen Mother quickly." Queen Zhang's heart tightened. She threw the cards in her hand and hugged Zhu Houzhao in her arms, "Your Majesty, don't be afraid, the Queen Mother will always be with you."

There was some commotion outside, and as a mother, she didn't want her child to experience any danger, so she tightly covered Zhu Houzhao's face in her chest, not letting him see or listen.

However, Zhu Houzhao was not panicked. "Mother, if something goes wrong, we need to gather people to put out the fire. The incident happened suddenly. I don't know if they can handle it properly. I want to give them instructions."

"Nonsense!" No matter how much Empress Zhang loved her son, she would not allow this. "Are you going out to scare the Queen Mother to death?"

Empress Dowager Zhou also objected, "Zhao'er, just stay by the Queen's side and never leave her."

"Okay." Zhu Houzhao sighed, "Those people really got it right..."

The old man's ears twitched, "What did Zhao'er say?"

"Grandma, someone and Zhao'er said before that the eunuch Li Guang asked his father to build too much, which is against the will of God. Sooner or later, there will be punishment. Now, the Yuxiu Pavilion is leaking before it is built.

…”

Empress Dowager Zhou's heart moved. It turned out that it was related to government affairs, but her eyes were calm. She did not think about Zhu Houzhao's special thoughts as a child. She just touched his head and said, "Zhao'er

do not be afraid."

After a while, there still seemed to be red in the sky, and someone came over and asked them to evacuate quickly.

Although it's not too close, it's just for safety's sake.

Empress Dowager Zhou didn't do any ink, "Let's make a move and go to the emperor so that he doesn't worry about us."

"Yes!" everyone responded.

When Emperor Hongzhi heard about it, his first reaction was the same as that of Qingning Palace, which was to ask his family what they were doing.

When I learned that Zhu Houzhao was coming from Qingning Palace with the Empress and the Empress Dowager, I felt relieved.

The follow-up is nothing more than putting out the fire quickly.

The Forbidden City is a wooden structure building.

So I'm afraid of fire.

It is precisely because of the fear of fire that there are ways to extinguish fires. Although there are no fire trucks, there are large tanks everywhere in the palace, and the water in them is used to extinguish fires.

It’s a pity that Yuxiuting,

A good pavilion was burned down.

There were originally many ministers who were opposed to it, but now it's gone... it's a lot of trouble again.

"Send Li Guang over here!"

…

…

It was too late when Zhu Houzhao, the Empress, and the Empress Dowager arrived at the Qianqing Palace. When he saw the emperor, Li Guang was already kneeling.

After a normal greeting, make sure the important people are okay.

The Queen Mother opened her mouth and asked Li Guang: "Have you found out the cause of the leakage?"

It’s not like Zhu Houzhao has never seen Li Guang kneel before.

That day, this old man with white hair and a sense of immortality had already knelt down in the East Palace.

But I didn't kneel as well as I do now.

Now he is curled up into a ball, and his body bones seem to be trembling a little.

Oh, maybe it's because it's cold.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager... I think it is caused by the dry weather in late autumn and early winter."

Zhu Houzhao was by the emperor's side at the moment, and the emperor held his hand, hoping that the child would at least not be frightened.

But it was at this time that the emperor felt his son's hand tighten, and it was obvious that he felt something when he squeezed it.

"In that case, wouldn't it mean that there would be a fire in the palace every late autumn and early winter? Father, what should we do...?"

Li Guang now regrets so much that he wants to die.

He really wanted to give himself a big mouth! He spent a long time discussing how to trouble the prince! He must have lost his mind!

"Your Highness... Your Highness, don't worry, this... it's not common for things to happen in the palace..."

"It's not common. It seems that Eunuch Li is just unlucky and he bumped into you."

As soon as these words came out, Li Guang's face turned pale instantly.

In fact, if you are someone else, the word "bad luck" is used to help make excuses!

But for him, this word is fatal!

Because he was originally trying to deceive the emperor and engage in "strange recipes and secret techniques", which were all about gods, ghosts, and mysteries.

To put it bluntly, he should be the person who brings good luck to the emperor when he is having bad luck.

Now you bring bad luck to yourself and bring harm to the palace, so that's okay!

If Li Guang had never been in contact with the prince, he would probably think that it was childish talk.

But he had already had a confrontation with the crown prince, and he made two seemingly ordinary but fatal words in a row. He was sure that all of this was arranged by the crown prince!

However, he really didn't expect that the prince's move would be so ruthless and decisive.

Originally, the trick of engaging in gods and ghosts was the most trusted by the emperor. Most people could not change the emperor's mind at all, because you can't see it, and you can't say it doesn't exist. What if? The emperor would also have concerns, what if? Where is one?

But the prince was able to find a way in such a short period of time and seek trouble for him in the most critical place.

Such a plan, such words...

Li Guang already felt a little trembling.

Over there, the Empress Dowager Zhou also believed in these things. She had been serving Buddhism and Taoism all her life. "The emperor trusted Li Guang so much. He said what Li Guang did today, and tomorrow he also said what Li Guang did. Finally, he caused trouble. Already."

The old one and the young one,

It’s all about the word ‘luck’.

Emperor Hongzhi was indeed a little upset after hearing this, especially when he thought that there would be an endless stream of memorials from ministers saying that this was a decree from heaven, which made him even more headache.

"Grandma said that her grandson has learned a lesson."

The words of the Empress Dowager Zhou made Li Guang feel as if he were dying. This would make the emperor likely to kill him!

The emperor turned around and didn't look good on Li Guang. He waved his hand and told him to get out, "Okay, Li Guang, don't kneel here anymore. Go quickly and see how Yuxiu Pavilion and my back garden have been burned down."

To what extent? Also, you have been more honest recently and don’t cause me any more trouble!"

"Slave, I obey..." Li Guang felt the emperor's impatience, and the lines he had planned to cry in front of the emperor were no longer used.

With his robe dragging the floor and his figure hunched over, he walked out of the hall swaying like this.

Outside the temple is a majestic and continuous majestic building. Walking here naturally feels spacious and majestic, but everyone who is inside knows that it is actually shocking every step of the way.
