Chapter 125

"Look, there seems to be water..."

"It's raining. How can you get out of the water!"

Xia Tingzhen frowned and went out.

When the door was pushed open, I saw a strange red sky ahead.

"It's like the direction of Fengtian temple!" an official was surprised.

Xia Tingzhen's face changed slightly and immediately stepped down the stone steps.

"Old Xia Ge!"

Several officials shouted a few words, but when Xia Tingzhen didn't look back, they all hurriedly followed up.

The party went to the direction of Fengtian hall. On the way, they met many palace people who rushed to the Fengtian hall to put out the fire.

The cause of the fire was soon known by Xia Tingzhen and others.

By the time we arrived at the Fengtian hall, the fire had almost spread throughout the main hall. The red flame was puffing and stirring in the rain, but there was no weakening trend!

What's more, just at this time, it rained day and night and stopped!

The people in charge of fire fighting were almost crying.

With the help of rain, it can't be put out easily. Now that the rain has stopped, it's even more difficult!

To put it awkwardly, is it too obvious to condemn this day?

——If this is not a scourge, then the precedents of the scourge recorded in previous dynasties will become meaningless!

The palace people are half anxious and half frightened.

Xia Tingzhen temporarily suppressed her inner surprise and calmly commanded the palace people to put out the fire.

"The emperor arrived -"

A eunuch's singing was heard, which made the originally noisy surroundings suddenly quiet.

Xia Tingzhen, Han Yan and others greeted him.

Emperor Qingming looked at the most trusted and powerful minister in front of him, and his heart couldn't help feeling more complicated than usual.

On the way, he had heard that Xia Shoufu was handling official business in the Wenyuan Pavilion all night. He heard that the Fengtian hall was on fire and came to preside over the situation in person regardless of the danger——

"Xia Aiqing has worked hard."

Emperor Qingming took a deep look at Xia Tingzhen and looked at the broken Fengtian hall.

Standing so far away, there is still a rolling heat wave. The air is full of charred breath and dust debris, flying and full of, suffocating people both physically and mentally.

"Don't worry, your majesty. Natural disasters happen from time to time, but it's too unlucky this time." Xia Tingzhen said calmly: "although it's troublesome, it's not an unbearable problem."

Emperor Qingming couldn't hear too much joy and anger in his tone: "no matter what kind of trouble, Xia Aiqing can always comfort me in time."

Xia Tingzhen vaguely felt that this was not as simple as it sounded.

Just as I was about to say something, I heard emperor Qingming say, "although natural disasters occur from time to time, it also depends on the degree of natural disasters - according to Xia Aiqing, is this thunder really punishing me for being a king?"

His tone was not heavy, but when he asked these words directly, Xia Tingzhen could not help but change her face slightly.

The other officials exchanged a look, all lowering their heads as if they had never heard.

The emperor's heart is unpredictable. Some words can't be answered.

They're not the famous, stupid guys of the imperial censor.

"Your Majesty is serious. Your majesty is virtuous and benevolent. How can we talk about heaven's punishment." Xia Tingzhen said in a positive way.

Emperor Qingming nodded.

Looking at the hall on fire, the tone was unclear and said, "I also think there must be something ominous behind the warning from God."

Xia Tingzhen's eyes moved.

A moment later, he said, "it must be so."

It's just that your majesty is suggesting what he does, or

Thinking of a possibility, Xia Tingzhen's mood sank.

This thunder fire came at a really bad time.

……

It was supposed to be quiet in Beijing when I was in the middle of the summer.

But because half the sky was dyed red, many people who had fallen asleep near the palace lit up their lights again.

The town government is no exception.

In the Xi garden, Xu Mingyi, who has not slept, put down his pen and walked out of the study.

When Wu Tsui talked about the old affairs of officialdom and even major officials, she couldn't be familiar with them any more. While admiring her, she decided to learn more and listen more, so tonight she found her father and began to understand from the most basic officialdom relationship.

At first she just wanted to know something basic.

But who knows, the father of her family seems to be round and confused, but in fact he is clear about many complex officialdom affairs.

After eating half of the roast chicken and a pot of wine she brought, she talked freely.

After listening, she was afraid that she didn't remember clearly enough, so she thought of taking notes. On the one hand, she could take it to deepen her memory, and on the other hand, it would be convenient to take it out for comparison at any time in the future.

The third is to wait for the thunder to split the Fengtian temple, so you don't have to be sleepy to find something to do.

"Girl, it seems that the fire is burning so much that it's not easy to put it out..."

In the corridor, ah Kui stood behind his girl, looking a little stunned.

That day, in the Xuesheng teahouse, she heard the girl's conversation with Wu Shisun.

She didn't take it seriously.

After all, girls who claim that they dream effectively and rarely dream are obviously lying... You know, girls not only love dreaming, but also say some messy dream words!

But... It seems that the palace was really struck by thunder!

How many surprises does her girl have to bring to everyone!

Ah Kui trembled in her heart, wondering whether to cry or laugh.

"Yes, the fire must be great." Xu Mingyi looked at the red night sky.

Wu Tsui said he would try to reduce casualties. At present, I don't know how many casualties have been reduced.

When she was distracted, she suddenly heard the cry of a big bird coming into her ears.

Xu Mingyi looked up.

I saw the big bird that should have slept in the bird's nest under the corridor. I didn't know when it was awakened. After circling in the hospital for a while, it was frightened and went back to the corridor. After falling with its wings, it chirped and ran in an awkward direction towards her.

Ah Kui was surprised.

"Girl... Is Tianmu sleepwalking?"

How can a bird that can't wake up in the middle of the night seem crazy?

Xu Mingyi was stunned for a moment.

When the reaction came, the big bird had rushed to her and hit her arms with its wings.

Xu Mingyi subconsciously reaches out and hugs the big bird.

Ah Kui was even more stunned.

... there's no vulture to be held by people. Tianmu doesn't have any misunderstanding about his species, does he?

But fortunately, she cleaned the bird tonight, otherwise the girl would have to throw the bird eight feet away.

Xu Mingyi looked at the big bird hiding in her arms with his eyes narrowed.

She almost forgot that Tianmu was very afraid of fire.

I think we are aware of the danger at this time.

In the last life, she was curious about why Wu Tsui kept such an ugly bird around, so she learned from Wu Tsui the origin of Tianmu.

It turned out that Tianmu was picked up by Wu Tsui in a hunt.

It is said that at that time, it was still a thin and small young bird. It had burns on its body and could not fly. It was pitifully lying in the grass and crying.

It's Wu Tsui who doesn't mind raising such an ugly one. It will be laughed at by people and pull it up with a handful of excrement and urine.

Thinking of these, Xu Mingyi slightly bent the corners of his mouth.

Soon, I didn't know what I thought, and the smile soon stagnated on my cheeks.
