In the summer of the tenth year of Taichang, there was ground movement in Yuzhou. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After more than ten years, the earth dragon turned over again.

Yuzhou is mostly mountainous, and the terrain is much more complex than the previous ground movement, and the intensity of this ground movement is also greater than that of the previous one.

The governor of Yuzhou panicked when the ground moved, and a bad omen appeared under his rule, even if he tried his best to rescue the injured people, after the matter subsided, I am afraid that he would not have any good results.

But after all these years, Emperor Taichang has quietly reformed the court, and these people who are serving as officials abroad are no longer the same. Their quality and responsibility as officials are enough to shame most of their predecessors who only cared about the people's fat and people's ointment.

After the Yuzhou Prefecture Pastor panicked, he immediately organized people to rescue the buried people first.

When the matter reached the capital, even if it was a quick whip, a month had passed.

Fortunately, Emperor Taichang paid attention to exploration, and the ground motion instrument had been developed on the side of the viewing platform, and there was a ground movement in the direction of Yuzhou, which had been known to Emperor Taichang a month ago.

But after all, this is a new thing, and there has been no movement in the geodynamic instrument in recent years, and no one knows whether the performance of the geodynamic instrument really represents the occurrence of geodynamic movement in the direction of Yuzhou.

Emperor Taichang would rather believe what he has than what he doesn't, and after receiving the news from Guantiantai, he sent troops to transport grain, grass and medicine.

Now the Yuzhou Mansion newspaper has come, indicating that the ground motion instrument is really effective.

It is a pity that the ground motion instrument can only show the direction of ground motion, not the degree of ground motion. The extent of the damage caused by the earthquake in Yuzhou is astonishing.

Emperor Taichang also ordered the transfer of troops and food near Yuzhou to be supplied in a timely manner, because he was afraid that there would be a great epidemic after the catastrophe, and he also assigned a few imperial doctors in the palace to prevent and control the plague.

It's summer, and if there is a real outbreak of a large-scale epidemic, it will not be able to end.

Because of this ground movement, Liu Tong was also very busy.

It was really only last year that five large ships were sent to sail, and this year there was a sudden earth movement, could it be that the heavens were warning Emperor Taichang?

The people only believe that when the catastrophe comes, it must be the emperor who is not virtuous.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, some do-gooders began to spread rumors.

Liu Tong arrested a few people and rectified them fiercely, but it didn't work, and the rumors about the king became more and more violent.

Some people say that it is because Emperor Taichang has not established a prince so far, and the country is unstable, so the ground is moving.

Some people also say that on the occasion of the tenth year of Emperor Taichang's accession to the throne, there must be a warning from heaven, reminding him that the source of the throne is not correct, and giving him ten years to be the emperor of the world is enough, and he must abdicate and make way for Xian.

Some people even said that when the earth movement occurred in Yuzhou, it must have been Emperor Taichang who did something bad in Yuzhou, so the heavens were angry, so they hit Yuzhou hard to intimidate Emperor Taichang.

It can only be said that the imagination of the people is quite rich, and all kinds of rumors emerge in endlessly, and some rumors even make people laugh at them.

Probably because of the liberal speech under the rule of Emperor Taichang, everyone did not have much fear of talking about the emperor, and even when buying vegetables in the morning market, the two idle women who bought vegetables could still talk about this movement because of a handful of green onions.

Liu Tong stayed solemnly for a few days, and he also felt that he couldn't cry or laugh.

"Everyone talks about the emperor, mostly out of curiosity, and the vast majority of people have no malicious intent." Chang Runzhi: "You just need to stare at those who want to take advantage of this opportunity to plot against them, after all, over the years, everyone has seen what the emperor has done, and in the minds of the people, whether our emperor is a good emperor or not, they know it in their hearts." ”

Liu Tong also nodded and sighed: "I originally thought this was still a big deal, but after observing it for a few days, I was relieved." No wonder the emperor's attitude is also ordinary, he dared to love him, and he didn't take these rumors of the people to heart at all. I guess these rumors will be dissipated in a few days. ”

Whether it is Mingjun or not, whether the people can convince you or not, these all depend on political achievements.

Ten years after Emperor Taichang ascended the throne, the common people can clearly compare their lives now with those ten years ago.

Not to say that it is a higher level, but at least eat well, dress warmly, do not leave the road behind, and do not close the house at night.

That's all there is to it, right?

As for the ground movement...... Although they don't know what caused the heavens to warn, they believe that the emperor will not sit idly by and ignore Yuzhou.

The disaster relief situation in Yuzhou was carried out with some difficulty, because the terrain was really complicated, and because of the ground movement, some terrain changed, which made those officers and men who surveyed the disaster situation according to the county records suffer greatly.

But fortunately, the logistics supply was sufficient, and the medical care could keep up, so the epidemic did not occur.

In late autumn, all the circumstances of the ground movement in Yuzhou converged on the imperial case of Emperor Taichang.

Emperor Taichang touched it, and asked Liu Tong with a sigh: "You say, is this really signaling to me that it's time to establish a prince?" ”

Emperor Taichang's princes, in addition to the three princes born by the queen, four more were added one after another, and the youngest one is only four years old now.

The third prince, Liu Jinglong, has always been Emperor Taichang's preferred candidate for the crown prince, and Emperor Taichang's cultivation of this son is taught according to the emperor's education. Although the two brothers of the three princes have no objection to the future succession of the younger brother of the same mother, the people of the family who can't stand the two princesses are a little unwilling, so they took this opportunity to push it and want to see Emperor Taichang's reaction.

These were all seen by Emperor Taichang.

When it comes to the storage position, Liu Tong is still as cautious as Emperor Taichang mentioned the crown prince candidate to him a few years ago.

He was silent for a while before he replied: "The imperial brother is the Son of Heaven, whether to establish the crown prince or not, and who to appoint as the crown prince, should be decided by the imperial brother, and others have nothing to say." ”

Emperor Taichang smiled, glared at him and said, "If you play tricks with me again, you will clearly tell me that I should make a prince now?" ”

As for who to erect, their brothers also knew very well.

Liu Tong smiled and didn't speak.

Emperor Taichang sighed: "Don't forget the past, the teacher of the future, the first emperor set up the prince not too early, when he established the prince, he was crowned the five kings, which was enough to give face to several sons, but it still made people breed ambition." I'm also afraid that if I set up a prince, it will be equivalent to putting the prince on a high place, and I really can't be sure what the other princes will think. The human heart is changeable in the end. ”

Liu Tong still didn't say anything, he knew that Emperor Taichang was just sighing.

For such major events, Emperor Taichang has always made his own decisions without relying on the opinions and suggestions of others.

I just don't know what he will choose.

Liu Tong said goodbye to Emperor Taichang and left the palace, but the carriage stopped halfway, and it turned out that someone from the house came to look for him.

Liu Tong said strangely: "I'm going back right now, what's the important thing to hurry up to find me?" ”

It was a steward of an outer courtyard in the Rongjun Palace, who wiped his sweat and said, "The prince should go to the Changguo Mansion!" Mrs. Chang...... The immortal is gone. ”
