After the rooster reported the dawn, the villagers of the isolated village of Fengyang Taiping Township woke up and were surprised to find that the forest keeper and his wife had disappeared overnight, and even the melons and vegetables, pickled duck eggs and pickles, pots and pans were swept away, leaving only two big white geese swimming by the river.

The lonely villagers are simple and simple, and the road is not left behind, and the chief took two prime-aged people to catch a big white goose and send it to Longxing Temple, and asked the forest keeper and his wife where they went, and they wanted to return the property to others.

The monk and the young couple found their father and mother and went back to reunite.

The lieutenant asked: "It's a good thing to be reunited, but they left in too much of a hurry and lost two big white geese guarding the door, where is their home?" On that day, the villagers brought it with them when they went into the city to catch the market. ”

The monk said: "I haven't heard where my home is, the sea of people is vast, don't worry about it, these two geese should do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and release them." ”

The village is basically the tenant farmers of Longxing Temple, since the people in the temple said to release the life, no one in the villagers dared to secretly slaughter it, the two big white geese from the domestic to the wild, completely let go of themselves, more fierce, all day long in the rippling blue waves in the water to catch fish, comb each other's feathers, give birth to a group of wild white geese.

It is said that Ma Sanbao was ordered to pick up Zhu Di, and Ji Gang and other Jinyi guards who were monitored also returned to Beijing together, set off in the middle of the night, and arrived in Fengyang County at dawn.

Ji Gang and the others hadn't eaten meat for half a year, and their eyes were straight when they looked at the xiaolongbao that had just come out of the pot.

The group filled the bun shop and threw off their cheeks to eat. Xu Miaoyi looked at the towering Fengyang city wall and the bustling streets, and suddenly felt like a world away, at this time yesterday, she and Zhu Di were still drinking wheat porridge and eating pickle gnocchi for breakfast, and there were rice fields and vegetable gardens in front of her. The days were quiet and beautiful, like a dream.

Today, on the way home, we have to face all kinds of plots, disputes, and bloody storms in the capital again. In the past, Xu Miaoyi faced the darkness alone, but now she is no longer alone......

Ma Sanbao made a pot of tea, tasted it himself, and spit it out on the spot, Ji Gang said nervously: "Poisonous!" ”

Ma Sanbao shook his head and called the shopkeeper, "Has your well not been washed for many years?" This taste is similar to brushing pot water, how to drink it. ”

The shopkeeper said aggrievedly: "I don't know what's going on today, it's obviously not raining, but the well water is muddy, and the neighbors' wells on this street are like this, and we can't do it." ”

At this time, Ji Gang suddenly jumped on the table in fright, pointed to the ground and shouted: "Mouse! That's a lot of mice! What a big mouse! Shopkeeper, are your meat buns made of rat meat? How did so many rats escape? ”

Creak!

A group of gray-haired rats screamed and ran out, and there were many long-whiskered cockroaches the size of fingernails in the swarm! It flowed densely like flowing water, Ma Sanbao's cold hair stood on end, and he almost vomited, and hurriedly learned Ji Gang to jump on the table.

At this time, the egg-laying hens brought from the village and locked in the cage also pecked the bamboo cage frantically, making a terrible cooing sound, as if trying to struggle to fly out, and the yellow dog guarding the courtyard barked, and actually flew over the courtyard wall!

The well water became muddy for no reason...... The pests are pouring out of the nest, the chickens and dogs are restless, bad!

Zhu Di picked up Xu Miaoyi on his back and shouted loudly: "The land is moving!" Get out of here! Call out all the neighbors! ”

Zhu Di and others ran to the street, and the shops and customers in the surrounding shops also flocked to the street, the dogs were boiling, rats and all kinds of insects were skewered under people's feet, and the old man who had accumulated years shouted with Zhu Di and others: "The ground has moved!" It's going to move! Everything is thrown away, it's important to escape! ”

Fengyang has been a place of many disasters since ancient times. Earthquakes, military disasters, floods and droughts, plagues, locust plagues, and even a tiger plague, the Yuan Dynasty was flooded with tigers here, once the population was extinct, the general of Anyuan should Yi'er Chi recruited hunters from all over the country, and killed more than 1,000 tigers to quell the disaster.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, Fengyang was named the central capital, built a walled city with a lot of construction, and reduced taxes in his hometown, Fengyang has taken on a new look, the population has doubled, and the people of Fengyang, who have been tormented by various disasters and have been numb several times, seem to have finally looked forward to the day of their beginning, but soon natural disasters will come again.

After about half a cup of tea, the south wind suddenly stopped, the leaves did not move at all, even the clouds in the sky were still, after a short period of silence, suddenly the mountains shook, Fengyang City was like a ship in a storm, shaking violently, the people on the boat were thrown like objects rolling on the street, and the tiled brick walls rained down from the sky, smashing into people's flesh and blood.

Jin Yiwei and Yan Wang's personal soldiers held hands, protecting Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyi in the middle, after the ground moved, half of the houses in Fengyang City collapsed, and no one dared to live in the remaining half, everyone would rather live in tents and temporary grass houses.

After the earth moved, the dark clouds in the sky rolled, the city was pressed, the black clouds pressed the city to destroy, after a lightning, the hail fell in the summer, the weather was cold, followed by the continuous heavy rain, the ground moved and the flood double-sided attack, gave this newly emerging Zhongdu New City a blow.

Fengyang is the land of Longxing, Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown, even the ancestral tomb is here, the news reached the capital, the government and the opposition were shocked, Emperor Hongwu wanted to drive the royal car to personally go to his hometown for disaster relief, but was stopped by the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

In the end, Prime Minister Li Shanchang took a step back and said that he could ask the prince of the East Palace to go to Fengyang for disaster relief on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and the prince Zhu Biao was ordered to rush to Fengyang overnight.

Zhu Yuanzhang knelt on the ground and cried bitterly in the direction of his hometown, and Queen Ma also knelt beside him, bowed three times in the direction of her in-laws' mausoleum, and comforted: "Shilang said in the secret letter that the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum was not badly damaged, the city wall was only cracked in some places, and it did not fall, and the so-called rumor that the ground had injured the dragon vein of the Ming Dynasty was pure nonsense, and it was people with ulterior motives who wanted to confuse the people's hearts and mess with my Daming, and the emperor should take care of the dragon body, don't be too sad." The most important thing now is to provide disaster relief, try to recover the losses, and save more people. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's sideburns were frosty white, and after hearing that Fengyang was moving, the hoarfrost on his sideburns crawled all over his hair, and he aged a lot overnight. The height is unbearable, and only when facing the old wife who has been with him for many years, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes will show a trace of confusion and swaying:

"Last year, there were many heresies in the astrological signs, the stars retrograde in February entered the Taiwei, in March, the glow was confused and the well was committed, in April, the emperor was guilty, and in May, the emperor was guilty. Qin Tianjian said that it was the five-star disorder, the image of the sun and moon phase punishment, and God was warning me. I've also made an edict against myself, but why doesn't God let me go? Fengyang moved, and then there was a flood, could it be that God was punishing me? ”

Queen Ma persuaded: "Your Majesty, the words of ghosts and gods cannot be fully believed. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, "I didn't believe it before, and I was forced to issue an edict, just to silence those ministers who were chattering all day long." But the phoenix and the sun moved, shaking the resting place of the ancestors, and the newly built city walls were cracked, and they talked about it inside and out, saying that this was a curse from God, a warning from God. But I'm not convinced, am I really doing something wrong? ”

"Since I ascended the throne, I have been diligent and diligent, and I have never slackened for a day, even when I am sick, I have insisted on reviewing and reciting the folds. I rectified the dynasty, purged the bureaucratic system, and cherished the people, but those people compared me to Qin Shi Huang, scolded me for being harsh, arbitrary, and divided my sons, and they complained that I was too extravagant, why is it so difficult to be a Ming monarch? ”

Empress Ma stroked Emperor Hongwu's temples and said, "I have a headache again, Your Majesty, I am a woman, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics." Reasoning, when it comes to political affairs, I should avoid it. It's just that in the past few days, I have listened to Yun Wei, a child, talk about the history books, and tell me about the disasters of the Fengyang Dynasty in ancient times, the village where the emperor lives belongs to Taiping Township, in fact, that place has never been a peaceful place. Peace is just the ideal of the people. ”

"It's like when a baby is born, it counts eight characters, yin and yang five elements, what is missing in the five elements, gold, wood, water, fire and earth, what words are written in the nickname. Heroes emerge in troubled times, the emperor is a great treasure, and he wants to turn his painful hometown into a paradise on earth like Suzhou and Hangzhou, and even wanted to move the capital to Fengyang for a time. If you want to achieve such a foundation, it is not an overnight achievement, there must be all kinds of obstacles, this Fengyang earth movement, is God in testing the emperor's determination to support Fengyang. The more critical the moment, the more the emperor cannot retreat and waver. ”

Empress Ma shifted the earth's movement from heavenly punishment to a test, and Emperor Hongwu's dim eyes gradually lit up, "You're right, Fengyang has been a place of many disasters since ancient times, otherwise why would my parents and brothers die of hunger, I now remember that I even gnawed off the bark of the tree during the famine year." Although today's Fengyang is far less prosperous than Jiangnan, it is at least the best time in history, I am exempted from Fengyang's taxes, the people live and work in peace and contentment, I am worthy of my parents and hometown. ”

Queen Ma nodded and said, "Heavenly punishment is heavenly punishment, and natural disasters are natural disasters." God's condemnation is because there is no way in the world, and God uses it to warn the world, and natural disasters have nothing to do with human affairs, and they should happen. If you have to say that natural disasters are heavenly curses, and force the emperor to condemn himself, his heart can be punished! ”

Emperor Hongwu was extremely moved, and couldn't help but say Queen Ma's maiden name, "Xiuying, you are really my virtuous helper." ”

Empress Ma and Emperor Hongwu have been together for many years, her way of life is to make concessions in small things, and she can try her best to persuade her husband, but as long as it is a major military event, no matter which is right or wrong, she must resolutely stand on her husband's side, comfort her husband, and encourage her husband.

The emperor and queen work together to stabilize the government and stabilize the country. Empress Ma knew that there would inevitably be a bloody storm in the court, and those ministers who insisted on the doctrine of heavenly punishment would lose their officials at least and lose their lives at worst.

But the dignity of the monarch and the royal family was originally built on a lot of bones. And whoever offends, he shall be reduced to bones. 166 Reading Network
