Chapter 26 The Great Fire

In the east palace of Weiyang Palace, where the inner treasury of the palace is located, the chefs are carrying bags of wheat. More than a dozen carts are lined up, and the carts are full of goods. There is no doubt that the wheat is contained in it.

There were about thirty men here. After careful search by the Yulin Army, they were asked to come in to move goods, and ordered the women and idle people in the palace to approach without reason.

The team moved wheat in an orderly manner, and no one was reluctant to go to work. From morning until midday, everyone was already sweating profusely, and there was no intention of supervising the troops to help. This was the case with the rules and regulations, and it was absolutely not allowed to leave the post without permission.

The move was completed in half, and the Yulin Guards were not unkind. They asked them to come out and have a drink of water first. The inner warehouse was so hot.

Of course, the chefs were very happy and ran out to drink water. They could only work mechanically when working, but the working people were not stupid. They knew that combining work and rest would be more effective. The endless civilizations that have emerged for thousands of years were summarized in the work day and night.

At the entrance of the inner warehouse, I didn’t know where I brought a semi-elliptical transparent crystal lying beside the lying wheat bag. Everyone didn’t know that this was a treasure from the Western Regions, and they just used it as a stone and kicked it to one side.

The strong sunlight passed through the crystal, the elliptical crystal was focusing on the ground, and half of the incense passed. Just as the chef came back, the movement of the sunlight made the focus just shoot on the bag of wheat, and the flames jumped up and immediately had a big momentum.

When the chef walked to the inner trough, the fire could no longer be stopped. Everyone exclaimed that the fire was on fire. When the soldiers saw it, they were startled, but there was no water source around. They warned the chefs not to move around, so they hurriedly ran to sue the officials.

Liu Qi was originally dealing with government affairs in the Xuanshi Hall, but when he heard the request from the chief of Taichang Temple outside the door, he frowned. Why did he come? He sent the yellow gate to put it in.

But Changshi almost rushed in, but ended up falling down fiercely, grinning in pain, his face shrank together, and his shock and pain were a little distorted.

"Why is the Chief Secretary reckless? Could it be that he is crazy? There is something to talk in the hall, and I still have something to do. I don't want to watch the room to win favor!" There is a lot of political affairs, and Liu Qi is not in a good mood now and has no time to waste it.

The Changshi was a little angry and said to him, "Your uncle, you have no sympathy at all!"

Of course, just think about these words in your heart. If you really want to say them, you will not be beaten to death by Liu Qi!

"A fire broke out in the inner trough of the eastern gulf of Weiyang Palace. Your Majesty, go and have a look! The fire cannot be extinguished!"

The fire? Could it be that God was dissatisfied with my actions? He warned me with the sky fire? Liu Qi was a little uneasy and said anxiously, "Take me there and take a look!"

Seeing Emperor Jing of Han’s anxious look, the Changshi felt a sense of revenge.

He quickly shook his head and pointed at the road to lead Liu Qi to check the situation.

Liu Che heard about it while listening to the lecture of the Grand Tutor. The Grand Tutor realized that this was a punishment from God and he didn't even attend classes. He told Liu Che a lot of superstitions about signs from heaven. Liu Che listened to Wei Wan in a dizzy way and asked him to accept these. This was a arduous task, and Wei Wan obviously couldn't complete it.

Wei Wan was going to verify his hypothesis, and Liu Che asked him to take him with him. Wei Wan hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Liu Che was a little chattering, and asked while walking, "Will there be many people waiting there?"

"No, the granary of the inner warehouse will not allow female relatives and idle people to get close to you!"

"Will the father be there? Will Prime Minister Zhou be there? How can the few people put out the fire?"

"Your Majesty and Prime Minister Zhou must know earlier than we have, and they will definitely be there. The prince should not mention the matter of putting out fires. The fire from God's warning cannot be extinguished. Those who can be extinguished must be people of great luck!" Wei Wan was superstitious again.

Liu Che stopped asking, and couldn't ask anything, so he might as well go to the scene to see it before talking.

As Wei Wan said, there were indeed not many people coming, with the head of the father and Zhou Yafu next to him, and more than a dozen ministers followed closely behind him.

Hundreds of Yulin Army guarded the chef while watching the large red area ignited in the name of the sky fire. There was a lot of food and grass in the warehouse, and the distant water could not relieve the near thirst. After the first fire was useless, they retreated and stared at the fire in a daze.

Seeing this scene, Liu Che was stunned. The fire was right in front of him, why not save him? Looking at the father and ministers who closed their eyes slightly, and the indifferent Yulin Army, Liu Che deeply felt the terrible feeling of standing by and watching!

I checked around and found that there was no water source. I was a little anxious. The fire had already burned one-quarter of the inner warehouse. The thick wooden board used as an anti-dumping was about to catch, and it would be too late to put out the fire.

The pile of sand and stones in front of him caught Liu Che's attention. He felt that he could use sand and stones to cover the fire and block the contact between fuel and oxygen.

After asking a Yulin Army, I knew that there were hundreds of construction shovels and wooden barrels next to the inner warehouse, I quickly brought them over and threw them up after filling the sand and stones. But the fire was too big and there was no obvious effect, so I started pouring sand and stones from the bottom.

After practicing martial arts, although he was eight or nine years old, his strength was as strong as an ordinary person, so he was not tired for a while.

Seeing the prince doing these things, Liu Qi quickly shouted, "Che'er, are you crazy? What are you doing?"

"Put the fire! If you don't put out the fire, I'll save it!"

"You..." Liu Qi didn't persuade him anymore. The prince always surprised him. He could only hope that Che'er was a lucky person. After hearing about papermaking, the ministers even had the same idea.

One person cannot save the fire. Only when everyone works together can they put out the fire. Liu Che knew that it was useless just by himself, so he aimed at the chef.

He shouted loudly, "This is the blood and sweat that you are planting through hard work, don't you feel sorry for? How long will it take to survive this harvest? Do you still don't know? Every grain of wheat is your hard work, do you have the heart to let them be burned in vain?

If you feel sorry, don’t wait. Let’s put out the fire with me and work together!! Let’s work together!!!”

"He is His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Yes, haven't you heard of me?"

"His Prince's papermaking technique has helped many ordinary people. It's a pity that this wheat is burned!"

"Then let's go and help the prince!" After the exchange, a group of kids made up their minds, picked up shovels and wooden barrels and imitated the prince to water the sand and stones.

A group of people were working hard under the leadership of Liu Che, and the fire gradually became smaller under the concerted efforts of everyone, and became nothing before the Yulin Army, Liu Qi and the ministers. Only then did the chef realize how good it would be to fight for himself and live up to the passionate mood.

No one present knew how sand and stones put out fires, they only knew how to use water to put out fires. They could not hear sand and stones, but they could only be attributed to the contributions of Prince Liu Che. At this moment, Liu Che's image became dazzling, covering up the identity of Emperor Liu Qi.

I didn't want to explore how Liu Che put out the fire anymore. A sentence kept ringing in the hearts of the ministers and Liu Qi: "United to be united!"
