Chapter 225
Zhu Dazhuang raised his head from the ruins with difficulty, and there was a beam above his head. One end of the beam was burning, and there were rubble all around. Zhu Dazhuang was completely trapped by large pieces of masonry, unable to move.
When Mr. Jiang used the steel needle to dig into the lock, he knew that something might not happen. He deliberately hid behind the Beggar Clan disciple who couldn't resist his curiosity and leaned forward to get closer.
The explosion was not violent, but countless lead particles flew out from the exploding box. Lao Jiang and Hong Qi, who were closest to each other, were covered in blood holes in an instant.
When Zhu Dazhuang was about to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, he suddenly found a trace of flame slowly falling on the scattered gunpowder. Then... the gunpowder ignited the fireworks!
Those fireworks screamed like strange birds, and among the exclamations of the Beggar Clan disciples, several fireworks flew out of the window. Zhu Dazhuang got into the corner of the cabinet immediately, and before his fat body could squat down completely, he felt
The wall is pressing down like a mountain!
"Help!" Zhu Dazhuang shouted desperately, but except for the "crackling" sound of burning flames, there was no other sound at all.
The flames gradually approached his head along the beams. He could smell the smell of burnt hair in his nose, and the burning pain from his scalp made him almost go crazy.
"Help...!" Zhu Dazhuang shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice almost breaking.
Still no one paid attention to him, and the flames burned closer and closer. Zhu Dazhuang's face became more and more distorted...!
Li Xiao from Tongzhou thought it was an earthquake. When he looked back at the house, nothing happened. That old bastard Chen Fu had already got under the table. After all, he had been on the Korean battlefield. He knew immediately when he heard the explosion that he was looking for him.
Place to hide.
Li Zhongzi held a roll of duck meat in his hand. He didn't know whether he was stunned by the shock or because his nerves were too thick. He was still chewing in his mouth, and his eyes were looking at the huge mushroom-shaped smoke rising from the capital.
Li Xiao was also a little stupid. There was only five kilograms of nitrocellulose in the box. There was more than two kilograms of lead, but it was definitely not so powerful. This good guy was like an earthquake. How much does it cost?
Only gunpowder can achieve this power.
"I thought it was an earthquake!" After Li Zhongzi said this, he completely stuffed a roll of duck meat into his mouth.
Li Xiao looked a little stupid. Is this the virtue of an outsider?
There was chaos in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. Concubine Ning screamed and fainted. The new crown prince was trampled to death. Under normal circumstances, a person who made such a big mistake would be chopped into pieces by the Jin Yiwei. Wei Zhongxian was even more furious.
It's smoke, I sent so many women to the palace, but only one of them successfully gave birth to a dragon seed. Damn it, you would have trampled it to death. If it were another person, Eunuch Wei wouldn't mind doing it himself at the age of fifty-nine.
.
But the person who trampled the prince to death was his own father, Long Live Zhu Youxiao. This matter was so big that everyone in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests was stunned and didn't know what to say.
Wang Tiqian entered the palace at the age of four. He started sweeping floors and cleaning toilets, and has been working hard for more than fifty years. The hard life has long tempered him into a staunch atheist. But now, Wang Tiqian believes that there are still things in this world.
The gods. At least the gods he just prayed to in his heart, they are so damn effective. If I don’t say anything else, I’ll go back and put the incense tube on you.
"Take down the wet nurse Cui!" Wang Tigan shouted sharply, and the stunned Jin Yiwei finally reacted. He pounced on Cui like a wolf and pushed her to the ground like a chicken.
"The wet nurse Cui accidentally threw the prince to death. She was so evil that she should immediately show her head to the public to comfort the prince's spirit in heaven." Poor Zhu Cijiong, his little head was crushed. If he can be rescued, it must be Daluo Jinxian.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Cui's crime is extremely heinous. Your Majesty, please issue an order immediately to clarify the canonical punishment." Wei Zhongxian also reacted. His Majesty the Emperor cannot make mistakes, so the only one who is at fault is Cui.
"It's unjust! Long live, it's unjust!" This poor woman is still shouting about injustice, but she doesn't know that even if she is wronged, she will die without a burial place. No one in this world will judge her. The position of the prince's wet nurse Of course it is very honorable, and the benefits it will bring in the future will also be considerable. However, the risk factor is also very high. This position can be said to have both risks and challenges.
"Pull him down and kill him!" Ming Dynasty is a society ruled by law. Normally, someone needs to be killed. It needs to be heard by the government and then reported to the emperor for approval. But this time, His Majesty the Emperor made a special decision and decided not to give Nurse Cui any chance to appeal. , not silencing all the people in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, which is already considered a kindhearted person.
"Long live the injustice! The injustice...!" Ms. Cui was still crying, but Jin Yiwei's embroidered spring knife had already chopped it off.
"Poof...!" Ms. Cui's head shot up into the sky, and blood spurted out more than two feet high from her chest. She looked very resentful.
"Go back to the palace!" After taking a look at his son's body, Zhu Youxiao stamped his feet and walked out.
It was a damn fine ceremony for the crown prince's canonization, but it had to be changed into a memorial service for the prince.
unlucky!
According to the account of Wang Yehao, the censor: I was about to enter the office to do some work. Suddenly I heard a loud noise, like the sky breaking and the earth splitting. In a moment, dust, fire and wood flew in all directions, and the beams, rafters, tiles and windows of the house were like fallen leaves. The ministers and others all fainted. I was dizzy and didn't know where I was going. Fortunately, many people in Ban Zao tried their best to help me, and when I reached the courtyard, I saw flames and smoke filling the sky, and there were endless sounds of crumbling buildings on all sides. I went out to find a horse and went out of the yamen. I saw a woman and a child crying in the street for the first time. It is impossible to calculate how many houses are broken into pieces. It is impossible to calculate the impact of earthquakes and trampling on the dead. It is impossible to calculate how many steps a horse can make. You can also see thousands of people running wildly. Every house is closed. Then because the elephant house has collapsed, the elephants are frightened and go crazy. It escaped and was uncontrollable. The ministers and others hurriedly rode to the court room, and they were just stunned.
Within the southern city, wood, stones, human bodies, and animal carcasses fell from the sky like raindrops. Tens of thousands of houses and more than 20,000 people were blown into powder. Rubble fell from the sky. Clothes flew as far away as Changping. The dead were all naked. .The craftsmen who were constructing in the Forbidden City were knocked off the tall scaffolding, and two thousand people fell into "meat bags." The imperial censor He Qianshu and Pan Yunyi were shocked to death in the Qianqing Palace. They lived in the He family in the southwest of the city. , the entire Pan family was buried in the ground. There were piles of clothes, utensils, jewelry, and money scattered all over the ground in the Changping Prefecture teaching ground.
The Ministry of Public Security and the Metropolitan Procuratorate also inspected the Imperial Highway and the city patrol censors. The supervisor of the factory quickly investigated the case. However, because the explosion site had been razed to the ground, they had no clue. In the end, it could only be done by the confused Jin agent. The case was closed on the grounds of the attack on Kongbu.
The officials and officials all wrote to Yang Suoxiu and others about the matter, as well as Wang Yehao, the censor in charge, and others, and they all combined their words: "I would like to express my condolences. I suspect that a spy secretly burned gunpowder, and I beg you to take strict precautions against it."
