The arrival of the earthquake plunged Luoyang into continuous chaos.

I don't know how long it took for the earth to stop shaking, but it didn't calm the night.

The people were terrified, as far as the eye could see, nearly half of the houses collapsed, and this side was still an area where large families lived, and Yang Yun believed that the collapse of the houses was even more serious in the winding alleys where civilians lived.

And that's not even counting the damage from aftershocks that could come at any moment.

Dong Qirong stood up with the support of his subordinates, shocked, but then a strange look appeared on his face, he first glanced at the head of the Zheng family who was chattering before, and then said to the surrounding people: "Follow me to save people!" ”

At this time, he had forgotten that there was a great hero next to him who had saved the suffering, and he didn't have any verbal communication with Yang Yun, so he directly took someone to "disaster relief".

Dong Qirong was eager to make meritorious contributions, and felt that Yang Yun's mission had been completed, and the rest was time for him to perform.

When Dong Qirong led the people away, the head of the Zheng family looked at Yang Yun with an incredible look and asked in shock, "Is this ...... The trail leader ...... Earthquake...... Can you really figure it out? ”

Yang Yun shrugged his shoulders and said, "Facts speak louder than words...... This old gentleman, do you want to take someone home to see if there is a big loss of family members and goods? ”

The head of the Zheng family was excited, and then nodded: "Little ...... The fairy grew up and woke up, and the old man went home...... There is no need to prepare a car, there are ruins everywhere, and you can't pass with a car...... A few of you slip around, go back to the house and see if anyone is buried in the house......"

The crowd dispersed in the confusion.

After the disaster, everyone's biggest concern was the safety of their families, and even Dong Qirong couldn't stop the Zhuang Ding who gathered in front of his door from going back to check the situation.

Yang Yun did not have the slightest intention of being greedy for merit.

Since Dong Qirong knew how to rescue the disaster, he would rather never show up himself, and when others couldn't take care of him, he first went home to see the situation of a few little loli's and confirmed that they were safe, and then took them to see the loss of the house, workshop and shop.

……

……

Xin'an County, west of Luoyang City.

Wilderness.

The tent formed by Emperor Luan and his entourage stretched for ten miles.

The night was dark and the camp was peaceful.

In the emperor's tent in the center, Li Longji went to bed early.

Li Longji was exhausted, he abandoned the ship and rode on horseback that day, ran wild in the hills and wilderness, and was in high spirits, and after camping, he drank with several ministers who accompanied him, and after being drunk, he went to the sleeping tent with the help of Gao Lishi, and even Concubine Wu Hui and Princess Xianyi came to greet him, but they were stopped outside the tent by Gao Lishi, and told the emperor that he had rested.

Due to the influence of childhood, Emperor Xuanzong liked Luoyang very much, often lived for many years, this time to the eastern capital, and planned not to return to Chang'an for a year and a half.

The team that came with Luan was very complete, and there were two or three thousand carriages for transporting goods alone, not counting the materials that the Luoyang Palace had originally stockpiled.

Colliers didn't rest early.

As the most favored eunuch in front of the emperor, the power at his hands was by no means comparable to that of ordinary courtiers, and at this time he was receiving gifts from his staff, all of which were honored by local officials and wealthy families.

"Gao Gong drove to the Eastern Capital with the Holy Father, and the gentry of the Eastern Capital admired the public face, and sent contemptible people to give them a small gift, and then rewarded them when the public had leisure time."

The Eastern Capital sent people to give gifts, as well as local tributes, which were not directly given to the emperor, and were usually handed over by Gaolishi once.

Gao Lishi's status in the court is unmatched, he is not a courtier, as long as foreign officials are not jealous of the emperor, even if they are officials, they cannot participate in the impeachment.

There are all kinds of gifts to give, just to see the side of Gaolis, it is like the ancestors have accumulated yin virtue, I don't know how many gifts to give to repay.

Of course, if anyone can be recorded by Gaolis, it is not a problem to be added to the official rank.

Gao Lishi did not check the large and small boxes of gifts, but bowed slightly, and asked the giver to bring a wooden box in front of him, and after opening it, he looked at it, his eyes narrowed, and there was a little more relieved smile on his face.

The giver of the gift knew at a glance that Colliers was quite satisfied with the gift.

Colliers waved his hand, and someone immediately took the gift and sent it to the carriage belonging to Colliers.

Gao Lishi said to the visitor: "Go back and tell the priest and a group of stewards, so that they don't have to go to great lengths to welcome Your Majesty, what should have been prepared in Chang'an has already been prepared, as long as Your Majesty's bedroom is cleaned up and decorated, Your Majesty will not ask more." ”

"Yes, yes."

The messenger saluted respectfully.

Gao Lishi immediately took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over: "Go back and emphasize to them that you need to bring Daoist Zhang Guo to Luoyang as soon as possible, and Your Majesty will give you a ...... I heard that this Daochang Zhang has the elixir of immortality, so be sure to ask clearly when greeting Daochang Zhang. ”

"Yes."

The messenger replied respectfully.

Gao Lishi then went over and patted the messenger on the shoulder, and said, "It's rare for you to come here, but I can't keep you staying, because Your Majesty will arrive in Luoyang with the ship tomorrow afternoon...... I had greeted the people before, and I said that I would not disturb the people, but His Majesty was grateful for the suffering of the people, and if I could look at the holy face from afar, it would also be very good to soothe the hearts of the people. ”

The envoy immediately understood, and replied with a smile: "Gao Gong is wise, and the contemptible person knows how to pass on the message to the magistrate after he returns. ”

Gao Lishi smiled: "You guy is very good at doing things, why don't I have such a good assistant by my side?" Haha, when I go back, I will convey everything to me, and in two days I will personally thank the people who have made great efforts to welcome the saints. ”

The envoy said: "The gentry of the Eastern Capital have long been looking forward to your personal guidance. ”

"Go ahead."

Gao Lishi nodded, "Next time, let them not break the bank, they will have to come to the Eastern Capital often in the future, and they will not be able to bear it for a long time to give such a valuable gift." It's all simple! ”

……

……

Seeing off the messenger, Colliers' attendant came over and whispered something in his ear, and reported in detail the number of gifts he had just delivered.

Gao Lishi waved his hand: "It's all a piece of heart below, it doesn't matter how much I give me, as long as the tribute can satisfy His Majesty...... Let's pick a few items that are still eye-catching, and I'll send them to Your Majesty early tomorrow morning. ”

Colliers is very "sensible".

Next, he gave him a gift, and he borrowed flowers to offer Buddha to Li Longji.

In this way, he is equivalent to receiving gifts on behalf of the emperor, at most, those inconspicuous "inferior goods" are thrown away and collected by himself.

There is no way for others to sue him for taking bribes.

And Gao Lishi is really loyal to Li Longji, which is also the fundamental reason why he can be in the limelight in Xuanzong.

It was late at night, and Gao Lishi, like in the Chang'an Imperial Palace, did not go back to his private house to rest, but went to the small tent next to the emperor's tent to rest, so as to facilitate waiting and communication.

It is even more difficult for ordinary people to get close to the emperor's bed, but it is easy for him to get in and out, and when he is about to reach the emperor's bedchamber, there is a graceful woman who brings the palace maid over, it is Concubine Wu Hui.

"Awon, where are you from?" Concubine Wu Hui asked.

Gao Lishi held the dust in his hand, saluted, and then replied: "I saw the envoy from the Eastern Capital and asked about the preparations for the welcome." The mother has not slept yet? ”

Concubine Wu Hui asked, "Your Majesty can wake up?" ”

Colliers laughed, "I'm asleep." ”

Concubine Wu Hui glanced at Gao Lishi and said, "You won't be fascinated by any fox spirit again, can you help cover it up?" ”

Gao Lishi hurriedly waved his hand: "How dare I do this?" Is Niangniang worried that His Majesty will marry a new love? Although His Majesty brought other concubines here, but no one could face the saint except Niangniang along the way, which shows that everyone has a deep affection for Niangniang, and if Niangniang has no wind and waves because of this, he is afraid of provoking His Majesty's displeasure. ”

was said by Gao Lishi, and Concubine Wu Hui was relieved.

"I thought there was Xianyi just now, but you refused to tell the truth to this palace."

Concubine Wu Hui, as the emperor's favorite concubine, did not dare to go against Gao Lishi, and explained her behavior, "Even if Your Majesty is annoyed, isn't there still you?" ”

"Lift up."

Colliers smiled ashamedly.

He suddenly remembered something, stepped forward and said, "Dongdu has sent some tribute, and the imperial gift estimates that it will come to Niangniang tomorrow." ”

Concubine Wu Hui nodded with a smile, glanced at the imperial tent unwillingly, her expression turned cold, and she turned around and left.

Colliers stretched his voice and said, "Niangniang is good." ”

Concubine Wu Hui walked away, without looking back, and when the people walked away, Gao Lishi's tense face finally relaxed.

……

……

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

Colliers looked back and sighed heavily.

There was already a eunuch next to him who saw the opportunity to act.

Seeing Concubine Wu Hui leaving, a eunuch came out to ask for something, but Gao Lishi waved his hand impatiently, and the eunuch hurriedly went inside to arrange matters.

After a while, a graceful woman was helped out by the palace maid and trembled to the camp tent in the distance.

Gao Lishi beckoned the eunuch back and asked, "Are you lucky?" ”

The eunuch smiled: "Master, can't you see this? However, His Majesty thought it was Concubine Hui, and he was a little unhappy after he woke up, for fear that Concubine Hui would find out. ”

Colliers stiffened his face: "It's hidden, God knows." ”

"That ......"

The eunuch looked hesitant.

Gao Lishi gestured: "I asked the master tomorrow morning to decide, and I will take it with me in the army." The head is smarter, and the rumors leak from the root of the tongue, which is a head-killing business. ”

"Yes, yes."

The eunuch was busy.

……

……

Colliers returned to his tent, and a little eunuch with a warm quilt came out of it.

Colliers rubbed his hands into the futon and was about to fall asleep, when the ground shook.

"Huh?"

Colliers was startled.

He didn't care about getting dressed, and stumbled all the way to the emperor's tent, and just a few steps away, the tent where he lived had collapsed.

"Second brother, second brother!"

Li Longji's voice came from inside the big tent.

Gao Lishi didn't bother to greet the guards in front of the door, directly opened the curtain and entered the outer tent, and pushed away the eunuch who was keeping vigil, and strode into the inner tent.

"Your Majesty, the old slave is here."

Colliers fell to the ground, almost crawling to the bed, struggling to get up, and reaching for the couch.

With his eyes black, the person who didn't touch Li Longji was in horror, but someone hugged his leg.

It turned out that during the Li Longji earthquake, a skeleton rolled off the couch and fell to the ground, just now lying on the ground and shouting.

"Your Majesty, something has happened!"

Gao Lishi wanted to help Li Longji up, who wanted the master and servant to fall to the ground together.

Li Longji asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Gao Lishi didn't answer, tried to stand up, pulled Li Longji and walked out of the tent, but Li Longji was lying on the ground, and he used all his strength to move a small step.

"Help!"

Gao Lishi grabbed the wooden basin on the shelf next to him, raised his hands and placed them on top of Li Longji to prevent the falling object from hurting the dragon's body, and shouted at the top of his voice.

The guards came in from outside, tore the fabric from the collapsed corner of the tent, first dug out a few eunuchs and guards on the periphery, and then made a concerted effort to rescue Li Longji and Gao Lishi from the tent.

Li Longji and Gao Lishi were lying on the ground, gasping for breath, and the vests felt the shaking of the ground gradually subside, at this time the emperor's sleeping tent had not completely collapsed, but the rest of the tents in the camp, nine out of ten had fallen, and the royal guards and guards were chaotic, saving people like headless flies.
