Chapter 274 Chapter 273(2/2)

The burning of the three main halls had more of a political significance, as they represented the emperor's supreme power.

Once burned, it can be rebuilt. In fact, this is not the first time that the three main halls have been burned down.

Three months after the completion and opening of the three main halls, they were struck by lightning and caused a fire. At that time, Zhu Di, the founder of the temple, not only immediately sent people to pay tribute to his ancestors, but was also forced to issue the "Edict of Sin", which read, "God has given me a warning. I am very frightened. I cannot help but Feel uneasy."

The three halls that were rebuilt later, that is, the temple that is burning now, are completely smaller than the original three halls.

It's not that there was no money. During the Yongle period, the Ming Dynasty's finances were still very rich. The reason why the repairs were small was due to the problem of selecting materials.

The best materials had been used and burned before, and the remaining wood could only be used to build smaller ones.

Wenyuan Pavilion represents cultural inheritance and the inheritance of Han culture.

"Expel the barbarians, restore China, establish principles and discipline, and relieve the people of Sri Lanka."

In the twenty-seventh year of Zhengzheng, Zhu Yuanzhang was preparing for the Northern Expedition to attack the capital of the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, he issued the "Zhu Yuanzhang Fengtian to Defeat the Yuan Dynasty for the Northern Expedition" and put forward this slogan.

I am a commoner in Huaiyou. Because of the great chaos in the world, I am favored by everyone. Those who return to me will be in peace in China forever, and those who carry me will flee outside the Great Wall. I support our Chinese people, and God will order our Chinese people to put them in peace. How can Yi Di

You can cure it! I am afraid that the land in China will be polluted and smelly for a long time, and the people will be disturbed, so I lead the heroes to clear it out, aiming to drive out the barbarians, eliminate the riots, let the people find their place, avenge China's shame, and let the people wait for their bodies.

Of.

The establishment of the Ming Dynasty not only completely destroyed the brutal rule of the Yuan Dynasty, abolished the racial hierarchy and oppressive policies formulated by the Mongols, restored the inheritance of the Han people, and re-formulated a set of regulations and systems with reference to historical materials.

The work of collecting books from all over the world has continued to this day, but seeing that all his hard work was about to be turned into ashes, Emperor Jiajing was panicking in his heart.

There is also the only copy of "Yongle Dadian". How will he face his ancestors in the future?

Emperor Jiajing lowered his head dejectedly, not daring to continue looking at the blazing fire in the distance.

Huang Jin, who was on the side, quickly ordered the servants to allocate manpower. If they couldn't pass through the gates left and right, they would take a detour to the Ancestral Temple, Chengtian Gate and Donghua Gate. The servants would then go around the harem and rush to Wenyuan Pavilion.

Let’s treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

And not far across from them, isolated by the fire, Wei Guangde was still joking quietly with Chen Ju.

"If the old doesn't go away, the new won't come. God sees that the palace where the emperor lives is old, so he wants to make a new one."

"That will only happen if the imperial court allocates money. Alas, the days to come will be difficult. Fortunately, we broke the corridor, otherwise Wenyuan Pavilion would have been burned down by now."

"That is, tell your godfather, Eunuch Gao, later that we cannot let others steal our achievements."

"That's for sure. Just with the merit of keeping the "Yongle Dadian", it's time for me to move up the ranks."

The two were chatting and joking there, not paying attention to the fire at all. What they were concerned about now was whether they could be rewarded for their service afterwards.

Not long after, a large group of servants rushed out of Baoshan Gate in the north, rushing here with pots and pans in their hands. They were obviously coming to put out the fire. Wei Guangde, the leading eunuch, did not know him, but Chen Ju did.

When I saw someone coming, I immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.

The two of them stood there for a few words, and then the eunuch ordered his servants to run back to report the news.

He had already seen that Chen Ju's words were true.

The fire was still burning in front of us, but it was impossible to move in after it reached this point, because they had cut off the corridor before that, so the fire did not reach the East Pavilion and Wenyuan Pavilion. This was a credit to them.

This eunuch doesn't know how important Wenyuan Pavilion is. To him, isn't it just a place where books are stored?

But godfather Huang Jin attaches great importance to it, so he should also attach great importance to it.

This credit is tempting, but there is no way. Behind Chen Ju, the chamberlain, stands Gao Zhong, Eunuch Gao. Ordinary people would not dare to make mistakes and rush to grab this credit.

Of course he can't either.

"Is everything okay in Wenyuan Pavilion?"

Emperor Jiajing received a report from his chamberlain, saying that the corridor of Zuoshun Gate had been dug by Chen Ju and Wei Guangde, thus blocking the possibility of the fire spreading to the East Pavilion and Wenyuan Pavilion. His face was full of disbelief.

He was already ready to go to the Ancestral Temple to plead guilty. Unexpectedly, there was a turn of events and Wenyuan Pavilion was safe.

After listening to the chamberlain's description of the situation there, he knew that they had made preparations before the fire spread. Emperor Jiajing, who was fortunate, immediately ordered: "Call Wei Guangde and Chen Ju to see you."
