Chapter 256: Fire engulfs Xianfu Palace, Concubine Shu’s life or death is uncertain!
The noise in the harem soon awakened Zhu Youtang.
He opened his eyes, his ears shouted panickedly.
Chen Yuanyuan had already woke up, and she was so disturbing that she was at a loss.
"Your Majesty, I have been shouting outside, what's going on!"
Zhu Youzheng frowned tightly, and his heart was puzzled.
He reached out and patted Chen Yuanyuan's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will deal with it."
"Luo Xiang! What happened outside?"
With Zhu Youzheng's shout, Luo Xiang, the eunuch of the house of the house, ran in with crying, kneeling on the ground and said eagerly: "The emperor, the water, the water in the harem!!!! "
Zhu Youtang stood up with a solemn expression: "Tell me clearly, where did you get lost?"
"Your Majesty, the Xianfu Palace is in trouble. Now the eunuchs in the palace are busy putting out the fire!"
"Hambok Palace?"
Knowing the location of the fire in the palace, Zhu Youtang was shocked and immediately became extremely anxious.
Xianfu Palace, that is the palace of Shu Fei Zhang Wan'er.
Even Chen Yuanyuan's eyes widened in surprise and covered his mouth.
Zhu Youtang hurriedly asked: "Did Concubine Shu come out safely?"
Mentioning this, Luo Xiang felt panic in his heart, his whole body trembled with fear, and even his voice began to tremble when he spoke.
"Back... back to the emperor... the eunuchs all went to Xianfu Palace to put out the fire, but... but still... they didn't find Concubine Shu..."
"What?!"
Zhu Youzheng frowned, furious in his heart, anxious.
In Concubine Shu's belly, she was still pregnant with Dragon Si, Zhu Youtang's first child.
If there is even a slight mistake, Zhu Youtang will regret it!
Zhu Youtang stopped delaying, put on his single clothes, and hurried out of the Yangxin Palace: "Let's go, follow me to Xianfu Palace to put out the fire!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Chen Yuanyuan was shocked, and quickly caught up and pulled Zhu Youzheng's hand: "Her Majesty's body, how can you be dangerous, in case of his Majesty, how can this be good?"
"
"The matter of putting out the fire can be left to the eunuchs in the palace. Your Majesty can just stay in the Yangxin Palace and listen to your orders. Why go to that dangerous place in person?"
Luo Xiang also persuaded: "Ning Yan's mother -in -law says that it is very distinguished by his Majesty's identity.
"If Your Majesty makes any mistake, we slaves will not have enough heads to cut off!"
Chen Yuanyuan and Luo Xiang's concerns are unreasonable. They all put Zhu Youzheng's safety first.
Since the palace in trouble is not in the Yangxin Palace, there is really no need for Zhu Youtang to go to the burning palace and personally preside over the firefighting.
But Zhu Youzheng had decided. He opened Chen Yuanyuan's hand and resolutely said: "No, Shu Fei is still in Xianfu Palace, she hasn't come out yet, I can't help but go."
"You just stay in the Yangxin Hall, you can rest assured, you won't be okay."
After speaking, Zhu Youzheng turned and left the Yangxin Hall quickly.
Luo Xiang couldn't help but trot all the way, keeping up with Zhu Youzheng's pace.
As soon as he left the Yangxin Hall, a large number of Tengxiang's four guards stationed outside the Yangxin Hall gathered around Zhu Youtang,
They protect Zhu Youzheng in the middle and protect Zhu Youzheng.
To prevent some thieves from making time, attack Zhu Youzheng.
After Zhu Youzheng walked out of the Yangxin Hall, he didn't even sit, and ran to Xianfu Palace quickly.
From a distance, Zhu Youtang smelled the choking smell of smoke and saw a fire burning in the distance.
Along the way, Zhu Youtang saw groups of young eunuchs fetching water from the gates around the palace and rushing to Xianfu Palace.
The so -called door sea refers to the water tank that is placed in front of the palace door, filled with water to prevent the fire, and can extinguish the fire in the metaphor of the water in the metaphor of the metaphor.
There are more than 300 doors in the Forbidden City, and there are several in front of each palace, which is enough to extinguish the fire.
However, the problem is that most of the Forbidden City is wooden buildings. The fire is fierce. It takes a long time to rely on pure manpower to save fire. It takes a long time to extinguish the fire quickly.
If the people in the palace did not evacuate in time, there would still be a risk of death.
When Zhu Youzheng rushed to the periphery of Xianfu Palace, he saw the thick smoke rolling and the flames.
The palace maids hid aside in fear, and the eunuchs carried wooden barrels. Under the command of a eunuch, they entered the Xianfu Palace in an orderly manner to put out the fire.
The water in the eunuchs in the bucket is just a lot of money for the fire of Xianfu Palace.
The fire is still not controlled, but at least it has not burned to other palaces.
Zhu Youzheng noticed that the eunuch of the orderly disaster relief asked Luo Xiang, who was whispering.
"Who is the eunuch of the disaster relief?"
Luo Xiang quickly and respectfully replied: "Back to the emperor, it's Xiao Jing, the eunuch of the direct palace."
"Xiao Jing?"
Zhu Youzheng tried to recall the name, and finally had a little impression of him in his mind.
After Xiao Jing was the eunuch of the Emperor Yingzong's most favored by the Emperor Yingzong.
He entered the palace to serve during the Zhengtong period. At that time, he was just a young man, about the same age as Wang Zhi when he entered the palace. Because of his intelligence, he was selected to study in the inner library of the Si Li Prison for eleven years.
During the Jingtai period, the eunuchs of the orthodox period were suppressed, and Xiao Jing was silent.
It was not until the Tianshun period that he began to rise to prominence.
The Emperor Yingzong's most trusted eunuch was Wang Zhen, but when the Civil Bress changed, Wang Zhen was forced to death by the civilians.
After the restoration of the Emperor Yingzong, there was no trusted eunuch around him.
Later, the Emperor Yingzong found that Xiao Jing was doing things carefully and doing things cleverly, so he intended to promote him.
In the second year of Tianshun, he was promoted to Feng Yu. Soon after, he was promoted to Zuo Jianyu.
Later, Emperor Yingzong discovered that Xiao Jing was not only good at accounting, but also very good at riding and shooting, and his love for Xiao Jing became increasingly profound.
In the five years of Tianshun, Yingzong was promoted to the prisoner of the right, and then he was promoted to the eunuch.
At that time, Emperor Yingzong intended to train Xiao Jing to be the eunuch of the Chief of Ceremonies.
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
But the good times did not last long. In the eighth year of Tianshun, Yingzong passed away.
Xiao Jing, who was trusted by Yingzong, was crowded out by Li Xian and Peng Shi of Zhou and the cabinet. Since then, he faded out of the power center of Daming and was sent to the Shen Palace supervisor to be responsible for burning fire.
In the third year of Chenghua, Emperor Xianzong took charge, and Emperor Xianzong transferred Xiao Jing to the Inner Palace Supervisor, responsible for managing the storage of grain and wages.
At the same time, he asked him to check his accounts, and basically removed some of the past dislikes.
Soon after, Xiao Jing was promoted by Emperor Xianzong to the position of Chief of Liturgical Supervisor Qian Shu, and was ordered to investigate major cases in Wugang, Qizhou and other vassal offices.
With this posture, Xiao Jing is obviously going to be used again.
Later, in the 23rd year of Chenghua, Emperor Xianzong died suddenly, and the cabinet and harem began to liquidate Emperor Xianzong's party members.
Xiao Jing was not spared. This time he was sent to Yuling, the mausoleum of the Emperor Yingzong, and went to Sixiang.
Until recently, Zhu Youtang purged a group of eunuchs and maids in the palace, resulting in a serious shortage of manpower in the palace.
Wye remembered the old eunuch, and then brought Xiao Jing back from Yuling and served as a prison in Zhidian.
This is just Xiao Jing's performance during the Zhengtong, Jingtai, Tianshun and Chenghua years.
Historically, Xiao Jing, as an old eunuch across the Seventh Dynasties, he enjoyed the honor.
In the three years of Hongzhi, Emperor Xiaozong re -adjusted Xiao Jing to Si Li Jian Ji Shu.
But because Emperor Xiaozong had no power, Xiao Jing was never reused until the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, when Zhu Youtang entrusted Zhu Houzhao to Xiao Jing.
In the seventh year of Zhengde, after Liu Jin's death, Emperor Wu Zong appointed Xiao Jing as the eunuch in charge of rites and eunuchs. After decades of hard work, Xiao Jing was finally reused.
When Emperor Wu Zong went out of the palace to patrol, when he regained military power, Xiao Jing had always allowed Xiao Jing to stay in the capital.
Xiao Jing was able to stay in the capital as an eunuch, which shows that Emperor Wu Zong's trust in him.
This is a treatment that no eunuch of any dynasty or generation enjoys. Xiao Jing's importance to Emperor Wuzong is by no means lower than that of Liu Jin.
It is worth noting that Xiao Jing himself is not among the eight tigers in Zhengde.
But somehow, Xiao Jing himself has not been famous in later generations, and he has not even stayed in the fame, but it is strange.
In the 16th year of Zhengde's reign, Emperor Wuzong died suddenly. Emperor Shizong succeeded to the throne and wanted to continue to use Xiao Jing.
However, in the past few decades, Xiao Jing has been bored by the cabinet and hundred officials. In the end, he only served the Emperor Sejong for a year. He begged his bones in the first year of Jiajing and retired.
After the Emperor Sejong repeatedly reserved his rejection, he could only give a very rich retirement treatment and let him retire in the private house in Beijing.
In the end, Xiao Jing died at the age of ninety, and Emperor Sejong buried Xiao Jing with the highest standards.
Xiao Jing can be called a legend among the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty. He has experienced ups and downs for decades, and has always been active in the center of power in the Ming Dynasty. He was able to retire and enjoy his old age.
Such eunuchs are definitely wise.
Even though Zhu Youtang didn't know Xiao Jing's life, just thinking about Xiao Jing's experience in the first half of his life, he had already made up his mind to reuse Xiao Jing.
Zhu Youtang's principle is that those who were reused by Emperor Yingzong and Emperor Xianzong must be reused by him.
However, all the ministers that Zhu Qiyu relied on were executed, but he still could not forgive his hatred!
While Zhu Youtang was thinking, people had already arrived outside Xianfu Palace.
When they saw the emperor arriving in person, the eunuchs and maids around him immediately knelt on the ground.
"Slaves to meet your Majesty!"
Xiao Jing also saw Zhu Youtang and quickly knelt down to salute.
Zhu Youzheng waved impatiently: "Get up, don't delay the fire saving."
"Nuo."
The eunuchs quickly got up and continued to carry buckets of water to put out the fire.
Zhu Youzheng looked at Xiao Jing: "Where is Shu Fei? Does she come out?"
Xiao Jing frowned, full of tears, and blamed herself: "The slave is that he dies, and she is still in the palace. She is still in the palace.
"Click!!!"
Before Xiao Jing finished speaking, a burst of explosions suddenly came from the Xianfu Palace.
The fierce fire destroyed half of the roof of Xianfu Palace!
