Chapter 98

After the king of Qinghe and King Ji discussed with the officials of Luoyang for most of the night, everyone decided to first transfer part of the people's forces from Luokoucang to transport the grain out of the granary to Guanzhong. The grain transportation team is personally led by Wei Jiansu and Sang Xiaohong, after all, these two people have just figured out how to transport grain from Luoyang to Guanzhong, they were inspired by Jiang Wei's proposal, and the transportation is divided into links and all the way, and each section has a special person in charge, and it is progressive, so that the delay can be minimized.

Even if there was no loss in Luoyang this night, most people didn't dare to sleep, after all, the ground had just moved, who knows if there would be another big one, and everyone in the city put a bowl on the table to warn according to the instructions of the government. Jiang Wei and Jiang Changhui are even more unlikely to sleep peacefully, they are all worried about the situation in Chang'an, from Luoyang in the past, most of the nearby Jing counties have successively reported that everything is safe, is it really something wrong in Chang'an? Jiang Wei tossed and turned on the bed for most of the day, and fell asleep in a daze when it was dawn, and soon after she fell asleep, she faintly heard a voice outside the door, and mentioned the word "Chang'an" in a trance, she sat up all of a sudden, "How is Chang'an?" ”

Bai Shao and Shi Wenjing were both startled, and Bai Shao hurriedly said: "Jiu Niang doesn't have to worry, Wulang and everyone in the family are fine." ”

Jiang Wei's body was relieved when she heard the news, but then she realized that Bai Shao's words were wrong, "What about Chang'an?" Chang'an has nothing to do? ”

Bai Shao shook his head, "The earth movement happened in Chang'an. ”

"What? Ground movement in Chang'an? Jiang Wei's heart sank, Chang'an is an international metropolis, how many people are here, and how many people will die in a real earthquake...... Jiang Wei didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Bai Shao comforted Jiang Wei and said: "Jiu Niang, don't worry, Chang'an is where the dragon veins of the national capital are located, and it will not be easily damaged." ”

Jiang Wei smiled bitterly, I really haven't heard of a country being destroyed because of an earthquake, but everything is put in a pile, this eclipse and earthquake are enough for Zhao Heng to be guilty, and now it is still happening in Chang'an, Jiang Wei got up and walked to the desk, she wanted to write a letter to remind Brother to control public opinion!

"Little lady, you didn't sleep too long last night, let's rest for a while." Bai Shao persuaded, how could there be such a hard time.

"I'm fine, did Gorou have a letter?" Jiang Wei asked while asking people to wash his face and rinse his mouth.

Bai Shao handed the letter just sent from the capital to Jiang Wei, this time compared with the previous thick stack of paper, only a thin one, Jiang Wei opened the familiar font, and felt that his eyes were a little astringent, the letter said that Chang'an had a ground movement, so she did not return to Beijing for the time being, if Luoyang also moved, then go to a safer place, if Luoyang has nothing to do, stay in Luoyang and wait for him to pick her up. Zhao Heng hadn't written such simple words since she came to Luoyang, but when she saw these words, Jiang Wei's tears of sadness were about to fall.

Bai Shao stood aside with her hands down, a little frightened, she hadn't seen the little lady crying, but the little lady had never seen this way of crying, and there was usually Gorou coaxing on the side.

Jiang Wei lowered his head and blinked his eyes a few times, and after blinking back his tears, he said to Bai Shao: "You go and make me a cup of strong tea." She has to think carefully about how to control public opinion, and she has to write this out as soon as possible and send it to her brother, and at this time, public opinion guidance is very important.

"Queen, Princess Ji asks to see." Incense came to report.

Jiang Wei thought for a moment, "Let her in." "It seems that King Ji has been in the official office and has not returned to the house, and the children of the family are frightened, right?

When Princess Ji came in, her eyes were swollen like walnuts, her eyes were bloodshot, and she looked like she had been crying all night, Jiang Wei was startled, "Ah Wang, what's wrong with you?" ”

When Princess Ji saw Jiang Wei, it was like seeing a relative, she wanted to cry but she barely held back, "Queen, our family Langjun hasn't been home since the ground moved yesterday, and I don't know what the situation in the city is now." The soldiers of Zhichong Mansion have been dispatched, is there something important happening? ”

"Chang'an has moved." Jiang Wei asked Princess Ji to wash her face, "There is no movement here in Luoyang, just some aftermath, the soldiers of Zhichong Mansion are worried that someone will take advantage of the chaos to steal, don't you see that everyone is in and out of it normally right now?" ”

"Chang'an is moving, is it dangerous?" As soon as Princess Ji heard about the cave in Chang'an, she immediately couldn't sit still, and all her relatives were in Chang'an.

"I'm only in contact with Chang'an now, I believe that Uncle Wang's Ji Ren has his own natural appearance, Ah Wang, you don't have to worry too much." Jiang gently comforted her.

Princess Ji saw that Jiang Wei had laid out a blank paper in front of her, and knew that she had disturbed her errands, so she got up in a sneer, "Queen, you are busy with official business, I won't bother you." ”

"Just a few words, if you don't bother or not, I will write back to Chang'an to inquire about Uncle Wang's situation." Jiang Wei said.

"Thank you, Queen." Princess Ji looked at Jiang Wei gratefully.

At this time, Xiangxiang moved several more account books, and Jiang Wei smiled apologetically at Princess Ji, "Ah Wang, you can do it yourself." ”

"The queen should also pay attention to her body." Princess Ji reminded Jiang Wei of a witty retirement, before leaving, she saw Jiang Wei reporting the numbers one by one from her mouth, the speed of counting is not comparable to the most senior account room in the palace, she secretly wondered in her heart Who said that the queen is not good at mundane affairs, she just doesn't like to pay attention to this kind of mundane things, otherwise with this arithmetic ability alone, who in the world can make fake accounts in front of her?

Jiang Wei calculated a few data sheets to write a letter to Zhao Heng, she wrote very slowly, and sometimes revised back and forth, so she wrote intermittently for two hours to finish a stack of thick letters. Bai Shao immediately arranged for someone to deliver the letter, and Yingchun came over to rub Jiang Wei's head, "Jiu Niang will rest for a while." ”

"I'll sleep for a while, and you will wake me up in an hour." Jiang Wei said.

Everyone looked at Jiang Wei puzzled, Jiuniang hadn't slept all night, why did she only sleep for an hour?

"I sleep too much right now, and I can't sleep at night." Jiang Wei said.

Everyone responded, Jiang Changhui knew that Jiang Wei was busy with Chang'an when he got up in the morning, sighed with relief, and only ordered her subordinates to boil her qi-replenishing Lingzhi soup, and she herself lay on the bed to recuperate her injuries, what she has to do now is to take good care of herself and Ah Zhi, otherwise Chang'an's relatives are worried.

The officials of Luoyang received the sage's edict to confirm that there was indeed a ground movement near Chang'an, and the grain from Luokoucang was continuously transported to Chang'an, and the king of Qinghe personally led two hundred elite soldiers to escort it. The damaged road was also excavated and repaired by two sides at the same time, and the officials used the conscription to order everyone to work day and night, and Jiang Wei arranged a schedule of work and rest, so that the officials let the people take turns to rest, and the daily ration was sufficient. The grain stored in the Luoyang grain warehouse is enough for Daqin to eat for decades, so what's there to be stingy about? This is only half of Great Qin, and when they recover a piece of Jiangnan in the future, it will be the fertile land for real food! Su Changshu, the world is full, this sentence is not blown out. It's a pity that the current scientific and technological strength is not enough, and there is no permafrost layer and frost-resistant rice, otherwise the vast Northeast is the most fertile land in the world.

Jiang Wei opened his head, it would be nice if Brother Ah was here, so that she could tell him all this, did he let the craftsman ponder the frozen soil? Well, let's stop the permafrost and develop Lingnan and Hainan Island, where you can grow double-cropping rice and triple-cropping rice! Jiang Wei buried his head in the pillow brought from Chang'an, Brother, I miss you.

"Whenβ€”" The utensils placed in the Jianzhang Palace shook slightly.

The officials in the palace looked indifferent and let these utensils shake, these days everyone has been from the beginning of the panic to the current habitual, this level of aftershocks can not cause them the slightest panic, at the same time the officials sent by the capital to contact also found the real center of the movement, is a small village away from Chang'an, and when the officials found the village, there were only a few living people left in the village, most of the people died in the ground movement, the whole village was miserable. Officials buried the dead on the spot, sealed off the entire village, and brought the survivors back to Chang'an, where there was no time to restore the village.

Zhao Heng looked down at the letter Jiang Wei wrote to herself, there were no sweet words written on it, only the simplest one was to ensure safety, and she listed in detail countless post-disaster handling work, and she even thought about the reason for the catastrophe this time, "How difficult it is to prosper the country, and I am worried about enlightenment." ”

Zhao Heng muttered and repeated this sentence, and Shen Yuan twisted his beard and said, "When the sage gives an order, you can start with this sentence." "Such a major event has happened, Zhao Heng's sin has been edicted, but how to write it is exquisite, not to mention that the two saints are standing side by side at the moment.

Zhao Heng closed his eyes and told himself to bear with it, he would be able to see Weiwei after a while, anyway, they had set off in October before, and now it was only August. He looked at the letter with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and she repeatedly told herself, at this time, people are the most vulnerable, don't use tough means against civilians until you have to, everything must be reasonable, everyone will listen, at this time the people need his comfort, of course, those who fish in troubled waters must be severely punished! Zhao Heng groaned slightly, and sent a few officials out to persuade the people to cooperate, as much as possible not to use strong means, but to some nobles who know the law and break the law.

Jiang Ke and Shen Yi glanced at each other, and their eyes were relieved.

The climate in Luoyang City is a little abnormal these days, and it was a little hot in August in the past, but the day after the earth moved and it was cold all of a sudden, fortunately, Jiang Wei asked people to prepare early, and sent people to the poor to distribute cotton clothes and food, so as not to freeze to death many people at once. Jiang Wei has recommended agricultural reform in recent years, and kapok and cotton are planted everywhere, and these crops are not very precious, and many civilians have purchased cotton clothes.

"Sure enough, after the great calamity, there will be demons." Jiang Changhui looked at the weather that began to drizzle again, "Ah Zhi, did you say that Luoshui will flood?" ”

"Probably not, it's not raining much these days." Jiang Wei is not sure, but there is not much rain at the moment, but the weather is getting colder and colder.

"It's been an eventful time." Jiang Changhui shook his head, still settling accounts with Jiang Wei, they couldn't do anything in Luoyang, they could only try to help transport the grain over as soon as possible, and a few fewer people would die after a period of time as soon as possible.

Jiang Wei didn't care about hiding her level at this time, as long as any number passed through her eyes, she could almost immediately put forward the result without error, this level didn't know how many people were surprised, the palace attendants and the ministers outside the screen all exclaimed that the queen was a genius, Jiang Wei was silent, if you had learned mental arithmetic when you were a child, you would have my level!

Just when Chang'an and Luoyang were worried about the earthquake at the moment, the Junyang County Duke of Xiyang County, Zhao Xiaogong, the Duke of Junyang County, was sitting in the hall with several staff members, he was forty-six years old this year, because of the perennial riding and archery, his body was strong, his hair was black, his lips had a neat short beard, and his appearance was handsome, but a hooked nose added a lot of his gloomy temperament, his thick eyebrows were furrowed, and he was silent. Zhao Xiaogong is also the clan of the Zhao family, his grandfather is the cousin of the ancestor Zhao Fengxiang, because of Zhao Fengxiang's meritorious service in the southern and northern wars, he was canonized by Zhao Fengxiang as the Duke of Junyang County, and then the Duke of Junyang County lived in Junyang.

"County duke, this Zhao Heng Xiao'er killed his father and brother, and acted perversely, which has caused the wrath of the heavens right now, and I am waiting for King Qin to enter Beijing, but to protect the emperor, and live up to the trust of the ancestor to us!" A middle-aged scribe said impassionedly.

"Yes, Langjun, at this time, Chang'an is in turmoil and the ancient road of Cuihan is blocked, and it is the best time to occupy Luoyang. Zhao Heng Xiao'er has been changing the family law of his ancestors since he was imprisoned in the country, and I don't know how many people have been displaced, which can be said to be abandoned by the people! All the soldiers in the world are willing to come to the county. ”

Zhao Xiaogong's family is far away from the royal family's bloodline, and has been far away from the throne dispute, this vein is also flourishing, and after several generations of operation, he has also run a family business in Junyang, and he is also regarded as the emperor of the soil in Junyang, and his life is also free. It's a pity that this leisurely day disappeared after Zhao Heng ascended the throne, he first withdrew Junzhou and changed to Xiyang County, Zhao Xiaogong couldn't be the assassin of Junzhou, and sent the eunuch Yushi to supervise him, and even the officials of Zhichong Mansion were all replaced. At the beginning of this year, he said that the title would be downgraded by one level in the future, which simply didn't give them these clans a way to live! However, because Zhao Xiaogong was too far away from the throne, Zhao Heng didn't think about moving them.

Zhao Heng is not only like this to the clan, but also ruthless to the local heroes, the population inspection and land measurement in Shu County...... Even if they didn't move to other places, those powerful families were not fools, and naturally knew that Emperor Lu Dao was liquidating them. If it were in the past, they might not dare to do this, after all, it was a big sin for the three clans. But at present, the tombstone of the first emperor was damaged, and then the ground movement in Chang'an, the locust plague in the west, and the ancient road of Cuihan was blocked...... Doesn't this mean that God is helping them? Luoyang is in the middle of the world, extending in all directions, as long as Luoyang is guarded and Luokou is burned, the grain of Daqin will fall into their hands, and the world may change masters. Some of these people here are staff members of the Junyang County Mansion, and some are local heroes, and these people all have the idea of fishing in troubled waters.

The Duke of Junyang County listened to the words of his subordinates and was noncommittal, and he said to a young man who had always been silent: "Fifteen Lang, you said that Yang Du was escorted into Beijing by the secret decree of the Emperor Taishang?" Emperor Taishang let him enter the king of Jingqin? ”

"Yes." The young man said in a dumb voice, "I've shown Uncle the secret decree, but Uncle still doesn't believe it?" ”

"Why didn't Yang Duhu enter the capital on behalf of Yang Duhu, but handed it over to you?" The Duke of Junyang County was always suspicious.

"He didn't hand it over to me, he handed it over to Yang Tingyi, but Yang Tingyi was killed, and before he died, he ordered someone to teach this secret decree to me." The young man said that if He Zhao Si was here at this time, he would definitely pounce on this young man with his red one-eyed, this young man was Zhao Fifteen, who had cheated him back then, that is, the son of the former King Yong.

After he and Zhao Er secretly discussed that Zhao Si could not marry Jiang Yuanyi, he went to Anton under Zhao Er's arrangement and was settled by the Yang family, and he also married the Yang daughter as his wife, gave birth to three sons and two daughters, and lived a happy life, originally thinking that he could live smoothly in this life. But he didn't want the Yang family disaster to fall from the sky, and suddenly changed from a high-ranking and powerful protector to a rebellious traitor, his wife and son were also killed in the turmoil, Zhao Fifteen secretly came to Zhao Xiaogong with a breath of relief, Zhao Heng caused his family to be ruined, and he also wanted Zhao Heng to regret not being at the beginning! He grew up with Zhao Si, how much Zhao Wu likes Jiang Wei He has always seen in his eyes, and he doesn't want this world, so he killed Jiang Wei and Jiang Changhui, and destroying the two granaries in Luoyang is enough for Zhao Heng to go crazy!

Zhao Xiaogong got up to change his clothes, and one of his henchmen followed behind him, the henchman was inconvenient with his legs and feet, and he limped up, "County Prince, right now the ancient road of Cuihan is not passable, King Qinghe left, Luoyang only has a district of King Ji, if the county prince sneaks into Luoyang, sends the left and right camp soldiers, attacks and kills those who stay behind, according to Luoyang, and then take Shaanxi County in the west, and Henan and North in the east, the world can be determined." County officer, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again! ”

Zhao Xiaogong shook his head, "The name is not right." "This is Zhao Xiaogong's biggest concern, now is indeed the best time, especially since the queen and the queen mother are in Luoyang, but what is the status? If the world is in turmoil now, he will send troops to Luoyang directly, maybe there will be an excuse for King Qin, but now that Shuangsheng is in Chang'an, how will he see himself as a person in the world?

"The county magistrate forgot the secret decree that Fifteen Lang brought? Emperor Taishang secretly recruited Yang Du to protect the king of Qin, but now he is sick in bed, this Zhao Heng Xiao'er can't escape the charge of rebellion, not to mention so many natural disasters now**, we can still reinstate the emperor as the emperor after entering Beijing, then Luoyang still has the Queen Mother and King Ji. The staff member said meaningfully.

Zhao Xiaogong's expression was slightly relaxed, "It's just that the Luoyang city wall is high, and if you want to capture it for a while, you have to think about it carefully." ”

"The county prince can order a strong army to attack the city on the one hand, and on the other hand, he said that Zhao Heng Xiao'er has a lot of anger and resentment, and I think Luoyang officials may not necessarily support him, not to mention that the Luoyang county order is still King Ji. We will make the stakes clear, and the filial piety of King Ji may not be unwilling to join King Qin in Beijing with us. "A teenager suddenly has the possibility of winning the world, who is not tempted?

Zhao Xiaogong bowed.

Wu Zijing arched his hand and said: "If the county prince does not give up, Wu is willing to persuade King Ji when the two armies are fighting." ”

Zhao Xiaogong shook his head, "No, it's too dangerous." ”

"If the two armies fight and don't kill them, I believe that King Yiji will not lose the style of a gentleman at will." Wu Zijing said indifferently.

Zhao Xiaogong put his hands on Wu Zijing's shoulders, "Zijing, you are really my mentor and friend!" If I can ascend to the great cause one day, Zi Jing will be the first person under my command! Zhao Xiaogong said with a smile.

Wu Zijing said: "Wu Moumeng is a great favor to the county princess, and he only wants to be able to use the remnant as the power of the county public to serve the dog and horse." ”

The two talked for a long time and when they returned to the study again, Zhao Xiaogong said with a solemn face: "Zhao Heng's child rebelled against his father and killed his brother, the sky will not tolerate it, today we will send troops to the king of Beijing and Qin, and reinstate the emperor!" ”

"Reinstate the Emperor!" Everyone responded in unison.

Zhao Xiaogong ordered his subordinates to personally order the troops, first take the Zhichong Mansion to kill the Zhichong Lieutenant and the left and right Guoyi Lieutenants, capture the Xiyang County Taishou, kill the prison imperial history, and then lead his own 100 troops and 1,000 soldiers of the Zhichong Mansion to Luoyang, along the road to collect the soldiers, the most rearly can be gathered 10,000 people, and the mighty advance into Luoyang.
