Chapter 35 The Emperor's Fury

When Zhang Junping changed into his public uniform, a servant from there had already brought his horse over. Zhang Junping turned over and galloped out, and rushed to the outside of the palace with a quick horse.

At this time, many people had already come outside the palace.

The civil and military ministers, nobles, and royal children all came, and surrounded outside the palace.

The Imperial Guard and the Dragon God Guard are busy putting out the fire.

However, the fire has already risen, and the manpower can only carry water, so the raging fire cannot be extinguished.

"Brother Cao's family, what's going on inside?" Zhang Junping saw an acquaintance in the crowd, Cao Xi of the Cao family, and hurriedly rode over to ask about the situation.

"The one who caught fire was Yuqing Zhaoying Palace. The official family was just frightened, and the people were fine! The husbands have already gone in to pay their respects to the official family!"

"It's good if the official family is fine!" Zhang Junping nodded.

The emperor is fine, but his hidden profession cannot be abolished.

"It's just pitiful, none of the Taoists inside came out!" Cao Xi added.

Zhang Junping narrowed his eyes and looked at Cao Xi who was smiling. It was obvious that Cao Xi knew something.

Zhang Junping could roughly guess what happened inside.

A man splattered with anger for five steps, and an emperor splattered with anger for a blood flowing with a pestle.

This burning fire was clearly the anger in the heart of Emperor Zhenzong Zhao Heng.

On the inner city wall of the palace, Emperor Zhenzong, Empress Liu E, as well as several royal princes who had just met, the Eighth Prince and other royal princes were all standing on the city wall, watching the burning Yuqing Zhaoying Palace.

Emperor Zhenzong stood at the top of the front with a cold expression. The husband and prince behind him were silent and did not dare to speak.

Everyone can understand the anger in the heart of Emperor Zhao Heng, and they all know that just burning a jade-qing Zhaoying Palace was already the result of Emperor Zhao Heng's strong suppression.

If anyone here had five sons and four daughters died, they finally found out that it was caused by the elixir of the elixir. They might have reacted more fiercely than Emperor Zhenzong.

The raging fire dyed half of the sky of Bianliang red, and the people of Kaifeng Prefecture also walked out of their houses, looking at the direction of the imperial city in panic, and praying in their hearts that the official family would be safe.

In the simple hearts of the people, the emperor is their heaven. If something happens to the emperor, it will be like the sky collapses! The emperors of the Song Dynasty are not bad, and this is not bad! At least they can eat and wear warmth, so they don’t have to worry about starving and cold.

Emperor Zhenzong stood on the city tower, neither walking nor speaking, and the others were tacitly silent. The civil and military ministers outside the imperial city were all quietly watching the burning Yuqing Zhaoying Palace, and could do nothing.

Emperor Zhenzong stood on the city wall all night, and it was not until dawn that he shed a drop of crystal tears and turned around and left.

Emperor Zhenzong's back was a little difficult and staggering, but his waist was straight until he turned around the corner, where others could not see it, Emperor Zhenzong suddenly collapsed on the ground.

The eunuch Zhou Huaizheng and Queen Liu E were so scared that they rushed forward to support him. Zhou Huaizheng was about to ask someone to invite the imperial doctor. Emperor Zhenzong grabbed Zhou Huaizheng's hand tightly, "Don't the imperial doctor, help me back!"

This is the emperor. Even if he is about to die, he doesn't want his ministers to see his fragile side.

Zhang Junping also stood outside the imperial city for a night, and the civil and military officials in the court also stood overnight, as if seeing off the disaster-stricken Yuqing Zhaoying Palace.

It took eight years for the Zhaoying Palace in Yuqing to be built, and now a fire is burning.

Zhang Junping knew that this was the change brought about by his little butterfly, which was flaunting his wings. Although he did not get rid of the fate of being burned, it was eleven years earlier than history.

At this time, an order was sent from the palace, and the court would not be held early today.

This is also considered to be considerate of everyone. We stood overnight and let everyone go home to rest.

A general like Zhang Junping was fine, but his feet were a little sore after standing all night. Those civil officials were in trouble. They all had sore waists and backs, cramps in their feet, and they supported each other, but they couldn't even get on the horse. The Imperial Guards helped them get on the horse.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, there were strict regulations on the use of sedan chairs. Sedan chairs were just tools for transportation for the emperor and concubines, and others were not qualified to enjoy them. Even high-ranking officials like the prime minister could only ride horses and not sit in sedan chairs.

Only the elders of the four dynasties, Wen Yanbo, was allowed to sit in a sedan chair by the emperor because he was old and weak. Another famous person in history, Sima Guang, was allowed to sit in a sedan chair by Emperor Zhezong because he was old and sick, but he refused repeatedly and dared not sit in a sedan chair.

It was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that due to the excessive Jiangnan and inconvenience of riding horses, the trend of civil servants sitting in sedan chairs and military officers riding horses was officially started.

The Shenlong Guard worked all night but did not put out the fire. The fire in Zhaoying Palace in Yuqing was still burning, reflecting the morning glow to bury Emperor Zhenzong's Shintoism.

Everyone else went home to rest, but Zhang Junping couldn't go home. He took office today and was going to the East Palace to be on duty.

When you ride a horse to Qingning Palace, Qingning Palace is where the prince lives. There is a side door that leads directly to Maxing Street.

When he arrived at Qingning Palace, Zhang Junping dismounted and showed his waist card to the imperial guards at the gate.

"I have met Zuo Shuzi! Please!" The gatekeeper Ban Zhi was very polite. While saying hello, he opened the palace gate and let Zhang Junping enter.

You can't be unceremonious!

They didn't know Zhang Junping, but they knew this horse. This was the horse of their immediate boss. The Queen gave Liu Mei, the commander of the four-box commander of the Shenlong Guard, the mount and the black horse.

Through the black horse, the most ruthless person in Kaifeng Prefecture is naturally linked.

Zhang Junping is now a famous figure in Kaifeng Prefecture, a legendary figure, and is known as the most ruthless person in Kaifeng Prefecture.

He often kills people, slaughteres underground gambling houses, slaughter temples, and treats killing as a joke.

The most amazing thing is that this person who killed someone was not only fine, but was also promoted. The 18-year-old sixth-rank left concubine and a close minister of His Highness the Crown Prince will have a bright future!

Zhang Junping handed the horse to the imperial guards' squad and walked into Qingning Palace on foot.

"Have you met the king!" Zhang Junping bowed to Prince Zhao Zhen.

At this time, Emperor Renzong was still the crown prince and was just a seven-year-old child.

"Are you the new Zuozi son of the father?" Crown Prince Zhao Zhen looked at Zhang Junping curiously and asked timidly.

"It's the subordinate!"

"I've seen Master Zhang!" The prince saluted Zhang Junping seriously like a little adult.

Zhang Junping sideways and received half a gift from Zhao Zhen.

"My father asked Master Zhang to teach me Tai Chi. When will we start?" Prince Zhao Zhen asked excitedly.

"Since the king is ready, let's start now!" Zhang Junping smiled.

Children aged seven or eight are at an active age, and their interest in learning martial arts is often higher than that of learning literature.

"I wonder if the king has learned martial arts before?"

"I haven't learned it!" Zhao Zhen shook his head in frustration.
