Chapter 402: Earth Movement II
In addition to Yu Nianniang's time in the capital and the delay in Luoyang, it has been almost five days since Xincheng moved, that is, there will be ground movement in Longxi in two days!
Yu Nianniang has been staying in the post tube to rest for the past two days, Wucai carefully prepared a meal, and she has almost rested, so she pushed a hexagram two days ago in Longxi. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
And the Great Heavenly Master, who was on the way to Mount Tai, also made a hexagram when he heard that the ground motion instrument in the monitoring station was abnormal, and also calculated that there was a ground movement in Xincheng, Gansu, but did not mention Longxi.
After getting the hexagram pushed by Yu Nianniang, the emperor also specially asked the Great Heavenly Master: "...... According to the Heavenly Master, apart from Xincheng, will there be earth movement in other places? For example, Longxi? ”
The Great Heavenly Master spoke according to the hexagram: "Back to the emperor, not yet." ”
"Oh." After hesitating for a moment, the emperor told the Great Heavenly Master about Yu Nianniang's hexagram, and asked him at the same time: "I don't know what the Great Heavenly Master thinks?" ”
The Great Heavenly Master's eyes sank slightly, but he looked at the emperor with a serious face, and said solemnly: "The earth's movement is caused by the movement of the earth's crust, and it may change its position at any time. So, it's too early to say that a place is about to shake! After a pause: "Moreover, the minister thinks that this kind of argument should be curbed, if it spreads to the public, it will definitely cause panic among the people!" ”
The emperor also looked serious: "The Great Heavenly Master is right, some words really can't be passed on. From the perspective of the Great Heavenly Master, what should Gansu do now? ”
"The emperor is blessed with heaven, and Gansu will be safe and sound." The Great Heavenly Master complimented him solemnly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is calm and restrained, and the minister believes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be able to handle this matter well." ”
This reminded the emperor of the time when he asked the Heavenly Dao Academy to do things in the past, he always prevaricated or procrastinated for various reasons.
The Emperor was obviously very dissatisfied with the Great Heavenly Master's statement.
"However, since there has been ground movement in Gansu, the rescue operation must be carried out quickly. According to the records of the history books, the earth movement is very terrible, and the destruction of cities and forests is only in the moment. Therefore, the ability to minimize losses and casualties is the most important thing at present. The people in the aftermath of the disaster are also a priority. ”
The Emperor nodded expressionlessly.
The Great Celestial Master said very reasonably, only by minimizing the damage and casualties will the people not panic, and the society will hire people to accommodate outsiders and those in need.
But......
The Great Heavenly Master did not mention the prevention and control of the post-disaster epidemic that Yu Nianniang's letter emphasized.
The emperor was suddenly puzzled, not knowing whether to believe what Yu Nianniang said.
Then, six days later, the emperor received another message from the capital on the way.
The prince once again mentioned the ground movement in Longxi in the letter, and said that Yu Nianniang carried out the second hexagram, and the ground movement in Longxi is coming soon, and the disaster will be more serious than the ground movement in Xincheng.
The emperor hurriedly convened a meeting of his ministers to discuss countermeasures, and the courtiers expressed their opinions, all of which said that Gansu should do a good job in rescue operations, and at the same time, ensure the pacification of the people after the disaster, including food and shelter.
In winter, when the weather is cold and there is no place to live, the court should provide shelter for the people affected by the disaster; If necessary, open a warehouse to release grain.
However, no matter how effective the method is, no one will implement it, and it will be difficult for supervision to be implemented.
The emperor's eyes swept over the ministers, and he said lightly: "The methods of the ministers are all good, but I don't know who to send to Gansu to carry it out?" ”
They have never encountered such a natural disaster in their lives, they have no experience, they cannot predict what will follow, and there is nothing to learn from. If you are lucky and do a good job, you will be rewarded by the emperor after returning to Beijing, and it is very likely that you will be promoted and make a fortune.
What if it's not done well?
It's not impossible to lose your official position and die?
The ministers were silent.
At this time, Yu Taifu stood up.
"Emperor Qiqi, the minister is willing to go to Gansu!"
Yu Taifu rarely speaks on weekdays, and every time he speaks, he can poke directly at the key points and relieve the emperor's worries in time!
The emperor's eyes became colder when he looked at the others, and he said for a moment: "Taifu is loyal to the country, I know, but this time I went to Mount Tai to seal Zen, Taifu still has a heavy responsibility." I'm afraid this candidate will have to be chosen again. ”
As a first-class Taifu and a great celestial master, Taishan Feng Zen must not be missing.
Other people were up and down in their hearts, knowing that the emperor was already a little angry, and many people were thinking in their hearts that if they simply asked for the decree themselves, they could still win the emperor's heart. If you are assigned, I am afraid that you will have to suffer some hardships at that time.
However, at this moment, the Great Heavenly Master stepped forward.
"Emperor Qi, the ministers thought that the courtiers who followed them to Mount Tai this time were indispensable and had tasks. Gansu is in a hurry, and I am afraid that we will have to decide on another candidate as soon as possible. ”
As soon as these words came out, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The emperor's face was expressionless: "Then according to the Great Heavenly Master, who is appropriate?" ”
"The earth movement in Gansu is the first time I have encountered it in our dynasty, and I think that at least one heavenly master should be sent from the Heavenly Dao Academy to follow." The Great Heavenly Master said: "In addition, please ask the emperor to appoint a minister to rush to Gansu quickly." ”
"Heavenly Master?" The emperor frowned, and a person suddenly flashed in his heart, and he muttered, "What the Great Heavenly Master said has some truth. This time the ground movement in Gansu, Yu Tianshi and Prince Ning An Hou Shide assigned to Luoyang to check the ground motion instrument of the monitoring station, and Yu Tianshi also calculated the ground movement in Gansu, so ......"
The emperor groaned.
Someone below immediately figured out the emperor's thoughts.
"Emperor Qiqi, the minister thinks that Yu Tianshi is proficient in the way of heaven and profound in mysticism, so he is really the best candidate to go to Gansu."
The emperor's face softened, he had been hesitating about this candidate just now, but now when he heard that someone recommended Yu Nianniang, the emperor suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as if he subconsciously wanted to send Yu Nianniang. This strange thought surprised the emperor himself.
Could it be that he believes in Yu Tianshi more?
The Great Heavenly Master can't withdraw now, so looking at it, the emperor feels that Yu Nianniang is indeed the most suitable and reassuring to him.
"Aiqing is right, Yu Tianshi has participated in Gansu's hexagram this time, and it is most appropriate to go to Gansu with him, as for this minister......" A few people flashed in the emperor's mind, and he thought about it, and finally said: "I will make Ning An Hou Shizi the minister of the Qin mission, and he will go to Gansu soon, and he must do a good job in the aftermath of the disaster, so that the people will be safe." ”
This holy decree soon arrived in Luoyang.
After the little eunuch who had announced the decree was gone, the earth demon brought out several sturdy horses, one of which was a jujube red horse.
And Yu Nianniang and Chi Langyi took the luggage that had been prepared and left the post station, and the group left Luoyang and headed towards Gansu.
Yu Nianniang can ride a horse, in order to save time, she decided to ride a horse first, and then take a carriage when she really can't ride.
The horse is padded with a very soft cushion, just on the road for half a day, she did not ride very smoothly, the horse does not seem to be very obedient, when resting Yu Nianniang will lead the horse to walk around, according to the experience of Professor Eleven and the horse to get along more, close, talk, when it is okay to help it groom.
Two days later, Yu Nianniang rode the jujube red horse very smoothly, and the speed on the road was much faster, in order not to drag herself down, she and Wucai respectively found a strip of cloth to tie their thighs, so that the friction of the legs during the riding process will be much smaller. It's not very comfortable, but it's better than having your legs rubbed off!
However, at this time, there was a ground movement in Longxi.
The ground motion instrument in the Luoyang monitoring station moved again, and after this abnormality, the ground motion instrument has been moving slightly while waiting for the wind. The situation in Xincheng is a little different from the previous days. Could it be that the ground movement in Longxi is really bigger than that in Xincheng?
The prince was very worried when he saw the news of Luoyang, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty felt that there were no real cronies except for Chi Langyi.
The queen comforted him: "Everything must be done slowly, you have just been canonized as the crown prince, you must put your mind on court affairs, as long as you get the emperor's permission and become the emperor, all the subjects in this world will be yours." Moreover, before the crown prince was ordained, you didn't form a gang like the second prince, which is why it has been rumored outside that the second prince may be made the crown prince, but the emperor has not said anything...... You have to remember that the emperor is still on the throne, and you only have four words for him, loyalty and filial piety! ”
The prince nodded seriously, perhaps because he was weak since he was a child, so his temperament was more restrained.
"My mother is right. Now that I am the crown prince, it is natural for me to have contact with my courtiers, and I talk about state affairs, so naturally there is no gangsterism. ”
Hearing the prince call her mother, the queen's heart was about to melt, she took the prince's hand, and said with a loving face: "My son is right!" You have to remember that you have today, and your uncle has helped you a lot. Also, that Yu Tianshi, although he is a woman, is not a thing in the pool...... However, Yu Tianshi is not an ordinary layman, and he needs to be sincere in order to win his favor. ”
The prince frowned, he didn't have much contact with Yu Nianniang, the first time they met was in the paddock, when Yu Nianniang had just arrived in the capital, and was almost killed by Chi Langyi's arrow. And she was not at all panicked or scared when she saw her. and when Yu Nianniang defended herself in the Taihe Hall because of the poisoning of the three princes, the prince also knew. What such a person cares about should be love.
Yu Nianniang is alone and has no in-laws. Her father died young, and now there is only one uncle in Taiyuan Mansion. However, I heard that Concubine Tong quietly went to help Yu Nianniang's cousin get promoted in order to win Yu Nianniang over, but Yu Nianniang persuaded her uncle's family that officialdom was like a battlefield. Give up your official position and be a businessman honestly, and you are willing to help them.
It can be seen that there is no way on the Taiyuan side.
Then you can start from Yu Nianniang's side.
The waiter of the Criminal Department and Yu Nianniang knew each other in Taiyuan, and Mrs. Duan befriended Yu Nianniang in the capital.
The prince felt that Duan Mansion was a good opportunity.
The prince looked at the queen mother: "It's better for the queen mother to enter the palace tomorrow to talk to Mrs. Xuanduan......"
"Okay." The queen's face was full of love.
***
After Yu Nianniang and his entourage set off from Luoyang, after the first two days of leisurely and suitable travel, they began to work fast from the third day, all the way non-stop, not even resting in the middle, only stopping to eat something when they were hungry, however, every night Chi Langyi will definitely choose the inn to live, Yu Nianniang can take a comfortable bath, soak her feet, and help her legs with some medicinal oil.
This way, the soreness in the legs will be much less on the second day. also lost a cloth tied to her legs, and after seven or eight days of travel, Yu Nianniang did not lose her skin except that the skin on her legs was red, sore and painful.
On the tenth day, Yu Nianniang couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately changed to a carriage, and there were many soft cushions in the carriage, but because the horse ran too fast, her buttocks were almost turned in half, and the official road was not smooth.
So, Chi Langyi had to slow down, but the situation was too urgent, so Chi Langyi sent the earth demon first.
On the fifteenth day, Yu Nianniang and the others were very close to Xincheng and Longxi, but compared with the two places, Xincheng was closer and Longxi was farther away.
After entering Gansu, Eleven went to inquire that the ground movement in Xincheng and Longxi was real!
So, Yu Nianniang said to Chi Langyi: "Go directly to Longxi, the emperor's decree should have arrived, the disaster in Xincheng is lighter, and the local officials who can handle it should have dealt with it as soon as possible." It's not much use for us to go at this point. Longxi needs people more. ”
Chi Langyi had no doubts, and immediately asked Eleven to turn around and go to Longxi, Yu Nianniang endured the discomfort on her body, and rushed for another four days, and the group finally arrived in Longxi.
Longxi is geographically referred to as Longshan, that is, Liupan Mountain, which is the place to the west, so it is called Longxi.
There are many counties in Longxi County, and the epicenter of this time is in the county seat of Lintao County, which has 12 towns and 6 townships, with a total population of hundreds of thousands.
The original Lintao County cars are like flowing water, and the buildings and shops are rising from the ground, neat and tidy, bustling with people, lively and prosperous. At night, the lights are brilliant everywhere, the traffic is busy, and the air is noisy, which is another beautiful scenery.
However, the current Lintao County is like a piece of ruins, and the ground movement is like a giant hand that instantly touched the entire Lintao County, and countless shops and buildings collapsed into ruins.
How can this magnitude be more than a magnitude 7 earthquake?
There is hardly a good house in the entire Lintao County, and all the people in Lintao County have become homeless and homeless.
They don't have enough to eat, they don't have enough to live in, and what frightens them even more is that the fear and panic left in their hearts when the earth is moving, how many nights have they woken up from nightmares.
As soon as Yu Nianniang and Chi Langyi arrived in Lintao County, the county magistrate of Lintao County told the two of them with tears on their faces that the ground was moving.
It was early in the morning when the ground moved, and the people who went out were spared and picked up a life, but most of the women, children and children who stayed at home were buried in the rubble, and some were lucky to be buried not deep and picked up a life in time, and some were not so lucky.
When I dug it out, I was already out of gas.
In this era of backward science and technology, if you want to save people, you can only rely on your hands, no excavators, no detectors, only your voice and shouting. Those who have a breath

Writing point: Writing Longxi is not done according to this requirement, some people live in shady places---- camping place should choose a dry, sheltered, and flat place. When camping in the mountains, it is best to choose the southeast slope, as it is not only sheltered from the wind, but also the earliest in the morning to see the sun.
。 The ground moves in Xincheng, Gansu, and later there is Longxi,
