Chapter 156: Opportunity in the Midst of Disaster

Li Longji was shocked after escaping, and sent someone to call Xiao Song, the secretary of the Chinese book.

Li Longji was dressed in white single clothes, wearing a tiger skin, shivered in the cold wind, and asked Xiao Song: "In-laws, what happened?" ”

Xiao Songzi Qiao Fu, the number is completed, a native of Nanlanling County, after Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan, the great-grandson of Emperor Xiao Yue of Liang Ming, the first year of Shenlong, successively served as the army of Zhaozhou, the history of the Song Zhou Thorn, Shangshu Zuocheng, the military department of the squire, and the envoy of the Hexi Jiedu. During his tenure as the envoy of the Hexi Jiedu, he made a counter-plot to get rid of the Tubo general Xinuo Luo Gonglu, appointed the famous general Zhang Shouqi and others, defeated Tubo, and entered the court as the prime minister because of his merits.

Xiao Song's son Xiao Heng married Xuanzong's daughter, Princess Xinchang, so now he is not only the prime minister's minister, but also the emperor's in-law, and Li Longji is very important.

But Xiao Song's ability is quite mediocre, and he has no assertiveness in many things, and now he is forced to ask by the emperor, and his eyes can't help but look at Gao Lishi standing beside Li Longji.

Gao Lishi said: "Xu Guogong can speak up if he has something, did the ground move just now?" ”

Xiao Song hurriedly responded: "Yes, the ground did move just now." ”

Li Longji looked a little displeased, and continued to ask, "Where did the ground move?" Changan? Or Luoyang? ”

Xiao Song thought about it and didn't know how to answer.

Gao Lishi answered: "It is estimated that it is the surrounding area of Luoyang, and the ground movement should not be very strong...... Fortunately, with the blessing of Long Wei, isn't this camp okay? ”

In the wilderness, except for the emperor's sleeping tent, which was larger, the tents of ministers, soldiers, eunuchs, and palace maids were very small, and even if they collapsed, they would not be buried in the ruins, so the people in the camp were frightened, and the damage was basically negligible.

Xiao Song said: "Does the Holy Lord need to send people to inquire everywhere?" ”

Li Longji frowned: "Do you still need to mention you?" Should the in-laws arrange everything before they come? ”

"Then I will go."

Xiao Song offered to retire.

Li Longji waved his hand impatiently: "You go to the place where the concubines, princesses, and princes have settled down first, they have nothing to do." ”

At this time, Li Longji was most concerned about the safety of his wife and children, and his main purpose for calling Xiao Song was also for this reason.

Gao Lishi saw Xiao Songmune, he was very anxious, and stepped forward while he was free, and leaned into Xiao Song's ear to ask for a few words.

Xiao Song nodded again and again, and finally walked lightly into the distance.

……

……

After Xiao Song left, Gao Lishi had not yet returned to Li Longji, and was told that the Huangmen Shilang and Tongzhongshu were in charge of Pingzhang, and Han Xiu, who was also the prime minister of Xiao Song, came to greet him.

"Your Majesty, Han Xiang is here."

Colliers said as he walked quickly to the emperor's side.

Li Longji tightened his tiger skin and made a look, Gao Lishi immediately understood the emperor's intentions, and sent someone to send Han Xiu over.

Han Xiu, the word Liangshi, Jingzhao Chang'an people. He was born in Changli Han, the system was promoted into the office, awarded Taolin County Cheng, successively served as the left to fill the que, the lord of the foreign lang, the middle book house, the relocation of the Ministry of Rites, the history of the Zhouzhou Thorn, the Ministry of Worship Lang, the right of the book. This year, he was just recommended by Xiao Song to ascend to the phase.

Han Xiu was over the age of six, his body was thin, and he stood in the wind, looking a little weak and unwinded, but after seeing Li Longji, he was full of anger when he spoke.

Unlike Xiao Song, Han Xiu belongs to the pragmatic faction, with a big temper and a louder voice, and he is far away from Li Longji, and his voice still makes Li Longji feel very noisy.

"Holy Lord, no one in the camp, such as the mothers, princes, princesses, princes, ministers, etc., was killed, but two ministers were crushed by wooden stakes when they fled, and their muscles and bones were broken, and they had to rest for a month. As for the soldiers, there is a house in the north of the camp where the beams are broken, the earthen wall has collapsed, and the second pawn has been buried, and there is no gas when it is dug out......"

Han Xiu is much more capable than Xiao Song, Xiao Song has no clue, and he has completed the disaster survey here.

It's just that he doesn't like what he says, and the things he reported are not what Li Longji wants to hear.

Gao Lishi had a very accurate grasp of Li Longji's thoughts, and asked: "They all settle down in the camp, how can anyone live in a house?" ”

Han Xiu explained: "There is a land temple on the high ground in the north, and the outpost is set up there, and the soldiers take turns to rest in the temple during the vigil, which is the ......."

Gao Lishi said to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, except for the two blinders, everyone else is safe and sound...... The old slave said that he was blessed by your dragon power, so he was killed. Some people don't want to be blessed by you, and would rather believe in those mud bodhisattvas, and they are to blame when they die. ”

Li Longji was a little upset by the sudden natural disaster, and he didn't feel much about Gao Lishi's compliments, so he waved his hand and said: "Send more people to investigate the surrounding area and find out where the disaster happened...... I want to go to Luoyang, if Luoyang suffers a disaster, it will be difficult for me to explain to the people of the Eastern Capital. ”

Han Xiu said bluntly: "Holy Lord, this earthquake has made a lot of noise, and the disaster in the eastern capital is not small." ”

Gao Lishi sighed: "It's a pity that the Holy Lord is only one day away from sitting in the Eastern Capital, otherwise, if there is dragon qi to suppress the demons, the people of the Eastern Capital will be able to avoid disaster." ”

……

……

Li Longji did not dare to live in the tent anymore.

Even if it was cold outside, he just asked people to add more clothes to him, and then found someone to surround the surroundings with a cloth curtain to block the strong north wind.

Fortunately, there was no rain, otherwise it would have been uncomfortable tonight.

Except for Concubine Wu Hui and Princess Xianyi, Li Longji made an exception to meet him, and others were not allowed to see him, even the crown prince.

Li Longji felt that he was too embarrassed at this time, and he didn't want to compromise his majesty in front of his children.

After dawn, Luan drove to Luoyang.

Along the way, the team passed through landslides, river embankment cracks, and houses collapsed, and the seriousness of the disaster could be detected at a glance, but Xiao Song had already dispatched officers and soldiers in advance to "cover" the ruins and broken walls on both sides of the official road and Luoshui according to Gao Lishi's instructions last night, and cleaned up the less serious ones overnight, and the serious ones were directly covered with branches and dead grass to prevent Li Longji from seeing them.

However, no matter how good the cover-up is, when Luan arrives in Luoyang, the emperor and the civil and military officials will finally see the truth...... The gate tower was tilted by the shock, and the tall walls were cracked and opened so that people could easily drill in and out of the cracks.

And the city is not said to be the houses of ordinary people, even the palace has varying degrees of damage, and the entire city is in the misery and desolation after a catastrophe.

The welcoming ceremonies that had been prepared at the place and the palace were all canceled.

Li Longji arrived in Luoyang in the afternoon, Luan drove directly through the streets and alleys, and quickly rushed to the palace, although both sides of the street were covered with cloth, but those rickety two- and three-story buildings could not be hidden, and the bare roof beams were shocking.

Gao Lishi notified the local officials who were going to welcome the holy car in advance to avoid it, and instructed Luan Jia and his party to hurriedly pass through the Xuanhui Gate and enter the imperial city, so as to isolate Li Longji from the tragic aftermath of the disaster in the city as soon as possible.

"Lux, you go and ask about the real situation in Luoyang, and report it to me after summarizing."

Li Longji was not at ease with others, so he sent Gao Lishi to go in person.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this is not a catastrophe, and Datang can't be messed up." Colliers.

……

……

Luoyang's disaster relief work was carried out in an orderly manner.

After Yang Yun came back from the Dong family, he didn't run around anymore, and cleaned up the Drunken Immortal Building first.

It is gratifying that after some repairs and reinforcements by him before the opening of Zuixian Building, there is no sign of collapse except for cracks in some walls, but a livestock shed in the backyard has collapsed.

Then the jar where the wine was stored was shattered by the fallen bricks, and the loss was about fifty percent.

The kitchen and stove also need to be restored.

Originally, he was going to greet the holy car as a Taoist priest that day, but as soon as the earthquake came, it was directly saved, and the government did not send anyone to urge, Yang Yun knew that Li Longji could not have the heart to sit with the Taoist priest and discuss the Taoist, and he had lost a chance to see the emperor, Yang Yun did not feel any pity.

"Yang Xiaoguan, the government has sent someone."

Just as Yang Yun was counting the losses, He Wuliu walked quickly into the backyard of the restaurant.

Yang Yun put down what he was doing and took He Wuliu to the front gate, at this time many houses on the street had collapsed, and a large number of people were digging the ruins, and the situation was a little miserable.

Fortunately, Shanglinfang received a timely warning before the earthquake last night, and there were no reports of casualties by this time.

If you change the side, you can't bear to look at the rows of corpses in the streets and alleys.

The person who came was a staff member sent by Liu Hengzheng, about thirty years old, wearing a robe, his hair was neatly combed, wearing a flat-top scarf, a leather belt around his waist, and black leather boots.

Simply saluting, Feng Qing said: "The holy car has come to the Eastern Capital, and Liu Fuyin means that the Taoist chief does not have to go to welcome the saint." ”

Yang Yun nodded in understanding.

He estimated that Liu Hengzheng personally sent someone to inform him of the matter, and there must be a follow-up.

Sure enough, Feng Qing sighed: "The Taoist chief has great merit, after the warning last night, the people of Shanglinfang came out of their homes in time, and Liu Fuyin received a notice, and also informed the fangs, and tried to reduce the disaster to the lowest point...... However, the time was too hasty, and the whole city of Luoyang was not notified, otherwise more people could be prevented from being buried. ”

Yang Yun had long known that Dong Qirong was unwilling to take responsibility, and when he went to the Dong Mansion to warn, he also wanted to report to Liu Hengzheng through his hands, so that he could save one more person.

However, this also fulfilled Yang Yun in disguise, letting people know that he successfully predicted this disaster.

Yang Yun said: "I just told Liu Fuyin the truth about the divination, it's nothing." ”

Feng Qing was a little nervous: "After the ground moves, the aftermath continues, do you know when the next disaster will happen?" The saint came to the Eastern Capital, and now he has moved into the palace, and sent Gao Gong to the mansion to ask about things, Liu Fu Yin is organizing disaster relief outside, and he will go to see Gao Gong later, I don't know ......"

There was an earthquake in Luoyang, and the next thing is to deal with the aftermath and post-disaster reconstruction, and it must be the local chief official who is responsible, but unfortunately Liu Hengzheng does not have much experience in earthquake relief, and he also wants to use the disaster to make political capital, while pondering how to help the disaster, and at the same time he also wants to use the prediction of the disaster in advance to make a fuss and gain the emperor's appreciation.

Yang Yun said: "The catastrophe has happened, although the small disasters are continuous, but the destructive power is far inferior to the major disasters, even if there are occasional casualties, it will not be as many as the former...... I only predicted this, and there was nothing else I could do about it. ”

Feng Qing was obviously a little disappointed: "Being able to calculate the movement of the ground in advance shows that the Dao Changdao is clever...... If it weren't for the fact that the owner of Dong Fang sent someone to inform the Hui Mansion that Yin Shi was also present, I really couldn't believe it...... You are busy first, and then you will go back to report to Fu Yin first. ”

Feng Qing knew that he couldn't learn about the "Heavenly Machine" from Yang Yun, so he didn't stay any longer, and hurriedly offered to leave.

……

……

Gao Lishi came to ask about the disaster, which put a lot of pressure on Liu Hengzheng, and he seized the little time he had and sent someone to ask Yang Yun's attitude.

When Feng Qing went back to see Liu Hengzheng, Liu Hengzheng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, with cold sweat on his forehead and fidgeting.

"Gonggong Gao has already had a cup of tea when he arrives at the house, and if he doesn't come forward, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to keep his official position." Liu Hengzheng rushed over and said, "What did Daochang Yang say?" ”

Feng Qing truthfully relayed Yang Yun's words.

Liu Hengzheng frowned: "I knew that his mana could not reach the heavens and the earth, but he could predict the earth-shaking disaster in advance, and he was already a god." ”

After speaking, Liu Hengzheng no longer paid attention to Feng Qing and went to see Gao Lishi in person.

Because aftershocks could occur at any time, Gao Lishi did not sit in the main hall of the official residence of Fu Yin and wait, but sat on the soft floor and drank tea by the relatively empty and spacious flower bed in the side courtyard, and frequently looked sideways, looking a little impatient.

"I've seen Gao Gong."

Liu Hengzheng appeared in front of the moon gate, and after seeing Gao Lishi, he walked a few steps forward to salute.

Gao Lishi waved his hand: "Liu Fuyin, it's been a long time." ”

Liu Hengzheng can do Henan Yin, in charge of the affairs of the Eastern Capital, and he has a lot of connections in the DPRK, and he has given gifts to Gao Lishi before and has been received by Gao Lishi.

Liu Hengzheng smiled and said, "Gao Gong, do you remember your humble position? ”

Gao Lishi looked dissatisfied: "I'm afraid that some people have forgotten our family." ”

"This is not frequent, and the disaster relief is too cumbersome, and the humble duty is concerned about the well-being of the people, so I will arrange things properly before I come to see you...... I don't dare to delay for a moment. Liu Hengzheng said loyally.

Gao Lishi's expression was a little gloomy, and he glanced at Liu Hengzheng a few times, and then said: "This god is too faceless, knowing that the holy car is coming, and there is no disaster at other times, but this is the ...... But fortunately, the Holy One arrived a day late, otherwise I am afraid that you and I will be unlucky. ”
