Chapter 702: The Earth Dragon Moves

Yong'an Palace

A little eunuch came back from outside, this is a common way, but it is familiar, just get close and stunned, here are three steps and one sentry, five steps and one post, all of them are guards and pro-army, all of them stand with nails and do not look evil, a scene of slaughter.

The little eunuch was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, only to see a familiar eunuch waving and saying, "Don't stay, this is Yong'an Palace repairing the palace, don't get in the way." “

Only then did the little eunuch see that the tiles and stones were piled up in front of the palace, and the craftsman who pushed the wheelbarrow was sweating profusely, but he didn't dare to stop at all.

The height of the scaffolding on both sides of the front of the hall is the same as that of the main hall, and there are people standing on each shelf, in a circle, because the periphery of the palace is repaired first, only 200 people work on it.

The remaining 300 people were busy below, like industrious ants, constantly transporting them from outside.

Outside the hall were not only guards, but also a large number of eunuchs.

This is to prevent these craftsmen from being abrupt and noble, they are all strictly guarded, and they will scold twice from time to time, but because of the orders of the master of Yong'an Palace, the whip is not used, and it is only verbal supervision.

There are a large number of craftsmen, and even if they deliberately keep their voices down, this quiet hall has become a downtown entrance.

"Niangniang said, before sunset today, the roof of the main hall in front of you can be repaired, everyone will be rewarded, and at lunch, Niangniang also specially asked people to prepare meat for you, what a great grace is this?

The eunuch's voice was already sharp and penetrating, and most of the hundreds of craftsmen heard this sound, and they had a smile on their faces.

They are all people who work for the court and enter the "craftsman register", their ancestors have been craftsmen for generations, even if the dynasty has changed, when they arrive in the new dynasty, because there is no other way to make a living, often some of the craftsmen of the previous dynasty will still take the old road and still hold this rice bowl to eat.

To say that being a craftsman is not a deadly profession in Dazheng, at least it is safer than being a soldier, and it is more secure than ordinary farmers who rely on God to eat, and there will be fixed errands in ordinary times, that is, "iron rice bowls".

In the local area, they generally work in the workshops designated by the government, and in the capital, most of them are attached to the Ministry of Industry, and all the repairs in the imperial city and the mansions of the emperor's relatives in the capital are repaired, as long as the Ministry of Industry needs to be managed, these craftsmen have to work.

They can get a lot of money, most of them rely on rewards to supplement their families, and now they hear that as long as they repair the roof of the main hall in front of them before dark, they can get some more money, aren't they happy?

These craftsmen, whether on the scaffolding or below, all shouted "Thank you for the queen mother Chitose!" towards the entrance of the main hall to show gratitude.

"Auntie, such a lively scene, but I haven't seen it for a long time. At this time, a little palace maid also accompanied the female official Chaoxia out, and watched this scene from the corner, with a smile on her face.

It's when you're young, and it's when you love to watch the excitement.

In fact, I don't talk about her, it's the female official Chaoxia, who is secretly happy when she looks at this scene at this time.

"Yes, this is all thanks to the blessing of the emperor's grandson. The female official Chaoxia sighed, and the scene of the last time the mother saw the acting king seemed to emerge in front of her, and she sighed more and more: "The emperor and grandson have been crowned the acting king, and the queen is in a good mood, and she is willing to repair the palace. ”

As she spoke, she suddenly sensed something, she stopped her mouth and looked up at the sky.

At this time, it was the beginning of the morning (9 a.m.), the sky was blue, there were no clouds or anomalies, and the sky was so normal that it could no longer be normal, but suddenly there was a big change.

A huge red sun appeared out of thin air and exploded quickly, and in an instant the light almost flashed into everyone's eyes.

"Ah, the second sun!" shouted the man with his eyes covered.

Some people even shouted in horror: "There are two days in the sky!"

"No, it's a big fireball!"

The screams came and went, lively and peaceful, and they were instantly shrouded in apocalyptic horror, before they exploded, followed by a loud "boom".

A mushroom cloud rose out of the sky, and in an instant the sky was dark, and the horror seemed to be the end of the world, which was beyond the imagination of ordinary people in this era.

This is just psychology, and the next shock will bring extremely tragic consequences.

"Be careful, the earth dragon is moving. At the steps of the outer hall, the female official Chaoxia, who was watching with the little palace maid, had already subconsciously taken a few steps down when she saw the big fireball in the sky.

fell to the ground, and before he could get up, a tile fell, smashed on the door of his head, and he suddenly fainted.

In a moment, a soft moan came out of Chaoxia's mouth, her body moved a few times, and she slowly struggled to get up, and everything that caught her eyes suddenly made her stunned.

The ground was full of corpses.

It turned out that in order to repair the palace in Yong'an Palace, more than 500 craftsmen came, and 200 people were working on the scaffold, this loud noise, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, the earth shook a few times, and these people could not maintain balance on the scaffolding at all, and this moment was like a debris that was shaken off, and 200 people fell into "meat paste".

At this height, it will not fall to pieces, but you can see the deformation, leaning on the nearest one, blood spurting out of the mouth, the whites of the two eyes rolled, and the eyes were no longer alive.

As for those who work on flat ground, they cannot die by falling, but they can be crushed to death by tiles and stones.

Those who did not fall to their deaths also fell to the ground, trembling with fright, unable to climb up, and some people were directly frightened and unconscious.

The guards were a little better, but the mandarin tiles that had not been paved crackled and fell, and they were killed immediately, and a few eunuchs were also unlucky enough to be smashed, and their bodies twitched a few times, but they also did not move.

In contrast, injuries are considered lucky.

"Qiu Fang, Qiu Fang!" Chaoxia woke up, hurriedly called the name of the little palace maid, and in a blink of an eye, she found that the little palace maid was unconscious, I don't know if she broke her head, she couldn't shake it, and the earth was still shaking slightly, and the female official's hand was stunned, chanting: "Queen Mother!"

Immediately he turned around and ran towards the temple.

Stumbling along the way, he rushed into the hall quickly, panting, and saw that the walls of the hall had been shaken out of cracks, and when he looked up, he saw that the roof had leaked light, which was laying tiles, and when it was shaken, there were new paving tiles falling into the hall.

"Not good!" This saw her whole face white, the main hall was repaired, and the nobles should stay away, but the mother happened to inspect, but she was still inside, far away, it should have been safe, but now that the earth dragon has moved, it may be.

"Niangniang, Niangniang!" Chaoxia's shouts were all crying.

Niangniang is not only her benefactor and backstage, but the inner palace has a system of strain, and if Niangniang has an accident, she will be connected.

The Taizu of this dynasty once wanted to abolish it, but later found that if it was not connected, whether it was the queen or the people around the concubine, they would be bought, and only by dying together could they put an end to it, so they could only sigh.

Chaoxia was frightened in her heart, and continued to rush forward, she saw a palace maid lying on the side of the incense burner, and when she looked closely, there was a piece of blood-stained mandarin tiles next to her head, which was scattered all over the ground.
