Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

"He...really dares to stand next to and light a fire?"

"Could it be that this so-called 'anthracite' is real, and the court isn't trying to deceive us? Otherwise, why would he, a high-ranking eunuch in charge of the emperor's affairs and a prominent figure, destroy his own future and risk his own life?"

"..."

No one had ever thought that this Sanbao eunuch would actually use it. Regardless of whether the fire had been lit or not, the doubts and vigilance in many people's hearts suddenly subsided a lot.

At least that's what has been said.

He can't possibly be playing any more tricks, right?

And if these lumps of coal are really what the big shots around the current emperor dare to use, then what do these people have to be afraid of?

"I wonder if he dares to really light a fire!"

"After lighting the fire, he still has to run away, right? He has a bright future now, how could he be willing to play with his life on this?"

"Let's see if he dares to stand by. If he really dares to stand by, wouldn't that be a great thing?"

The people may not think of other aspects, but they know clearly that what happens after Ma Sanbao sets the fire can determine whether they can have a good winter this year or have to gamble on the probability of God while shivering.

So...

After a burst of discussion, everyone shouted in unison:

"Light it up! Light it up quickly!"

"ignition!"

"ignition!!"

"ignition!!!"

"..."

There was a sudden deafening shout from beneath the platform. The despair and anger in everyone's eyes were gone, and instead there was a lot more curiosity and anticipation.

Who would want to die when they can live a good life with hope?

And in the spotlight.

The young eunuchs on the high platform also followed Ma Sanbao's instructions and lit the two braziers.

It always takes some time for the fire to burn, and the people below the platform saw the eunuch on the stage really lighting the two braziers, and their eyes became brighter and brighter. They all became quiet at the same time, holding their breath and staring at Ma Sanbao on the platform with burning eyes.

The originally noisy Zuihelou was now plunged into a dead silence.

Whether it was the crowds of common people, or the nobles and dignitaries standing silently watching from the windows of the numerous private rooms...

Everyone is waiting!

There was only the faintest sound of large snowflakes falling—falling on the tiles of the roof, falling on everyone's head and shoulders...

The center of everyone's attention was Ma Sanbao, who was standing on the coal brazier. He watched the charcoal fire slowly burn, but his eyes remained firm from beginning to end and he did not move an inch.

The first snow in Yingtian Prefecture was quite heavy.

When a thin layer of snow accumulated on everyone's heads and shoulders and on the temporary platform.

The two braziers on the platform were burning brightly.

One of them was just ordinary dry firewood. Although it had already erupted into flames over a foot high, it was accompanied by thick smoke. The other one had barely any flames, but there was also no thick smoke like one might imagine. Only the air above the brazier was fluctuating due to the high temperature...

"Move that brazier farther away from us, it's suffocating people." Ma Sanbao waved his hand to disperse the smoke and instructed the eunuch next to him. Then he looked at the other two eunuchs and said, "Put the brazier up at an angle and walk it around the platform so that everyone below can see it."

After all, he is standing on a high platform now.

Since it is a press conference, in order to let people see the effect of the "product", it must of course be displayed in all aspects, while also avoiding the people below not being able to see it and thus raising unnecessary doubts.

"Yes, eunuch." Several young eunuchs responded.

Then two of them moved the firewood charcoal basin away, and the other two used pliers to hold the edge of the coal charcoal basin and tilted it moderately for display.

Wherever the charcoal brazier was moved, Ma Sanbao would stand there.

Until you have completed a circle.

Ma Sanbao waved his hand to have the fire put down again, then stood beside the charcoal brazier again. He glanced around and said slowly, "I'll show you this anthracite first! Is there any smoke? Have you been poisoned by it? Have you been standing here for so long? "

Ma Sanbao pointed at the charcoal basin and asked three questions in a loud and powerful voice that almost struck the soul!

With the help of the loudspeaker, this sound fell into everyone's ears.

After saying that, Ma Sanbao took a look at the charcoal brazier that had been moved to the side.

With a look of slight disgust, he said, "It was this charcoal brazier burning wood that nearly smoked our house...!"

Hearing Ma Sanbao's powerful voice.

Everyone seemed to have just woken up from a dream and came back to their senses.

"Anthracite...this...this is actually true!"

"Not only is it real...it's even better than ordinary firewood. At least that firewood is dry. Wet firewood would produce even thicker smoke, but it's just not poisonous when burned, so it can still be used. But this anthracite..."

“Hahahahaha! It works! It really works!!!”

"The court didn't lie to us, and Eunuch Sanbao didn't lie to us!"

"..."

Regardless of whether this thing is possible in their inherent cognition, there is no doubt that the facts are already before them!

I don't know who broke the silence first, but in just a few breaths, the entire square in front of Zuihe Tower was filled with carnival... The heavy snow was still falling, but this time it fell on the rosy smiling faces.
