Although many people in Beijing felt the "tremor...... Although they certainly didn't know the word, and some of the elders guessed that there should be a ground dragon somewhere, the city was still calm, after all, it didn't affect everyone.

It wasn't until two days later that the military department was the first to get the news that the earth dragon had turned over at the turn of Qin and Jin, with countless casualties and thunderous sounds.

Two days later, local officials and inspectors submitted their reports to Shaanxi, and it was roughly determined that the earthquake occurred in Huaxian, Weinan, Huayin, Chaoyi, Puzhou, and other places.

Qian Fu.

In the main hall of the backyard, the dishes on the table have been heated again, Lu and Qian Yuan have not moved their chopsticks, the maids and mothers-in-law who are surrounding them are standing solemnly, and only occasionally the cry of the baby girl is heard, this is the daughter born by Qian Zheng's concubine last year, nicknamed "Miaomiao".

"Uncle, let Miao Miao eat first." Qian Yuan persuaded to see that the Lu family did not object, and glanced at the cousin's nurse on the side, who brought the child into the back hall.

After waiting for a while, although Qian Yuan was a little impatient, he was helpless, and his uncle asked his entourage to return to his house in the afternoon and told Qian Yuan to come here for dinner in the evening.

Qian Yuan's attitude towards food on weekdays...... If you can cook by yourself, you can cook with your own hands, and it is best to bring your friends together, but I really can't find anyone to pull Yang Wen and Zhang San on the table, Lu complained privately for this, and the horse steward who controlled the outer courtyard also had a quarrel with Zhang San.

Originally, Qian Yuan planned to let his uncle manage the backyard and hand it over to Yang Wen and Zhang San outside, but these two guys had little experience, so in the end, they still let their uncle and aunt's old house steward be in charge, and Yang Wen and others only cared about the work of guards and entourage.

Glancing at the dishes on the table, Qian Yuan thought that he would have to eat some supper when he went back later, and at this time Qian Zheng finally came back.

Lu Shi went up and instructed the two maids to pat off the snowflakes on their clothes, changed their coats again, drank a cup of ginger soup, and the two maids took their mother-in-law to bring the dishes down again to heat it up, and Qian Zheng went to take a simple hot bath before sitting down.

It's been heated twice, no matter how good the dish is, Qian Yuan has no appetite, but it seems that Qian Zheng doesn't have much appetite, he only ate a few bites before putting down his chopsticks, and said with a solemn face: "This time the earth dragon turned over, the casualties were extremely heavy, and it was unheard of in the annals of history." ”

Qian Yuan also put down his chopsticks, "Uncle, it is said to be Shaanxi?" ”

"At the junction of Shaanxi and Shanxi, the most serious casualties are Tongguan and Puzhou, and today's Shanxi patrol press handed over the fold, about seven or eight out of ten dead and injured in the two places, and more than half of Huaxian and Weinan."

Qian Yuan is not surprised by this, this kind of natural disaster, there is no good way in the future, and this era can almost only wait for death.

Qian Zheng sighed, "The road has changed, the trees have turned upside down, and Qianmo is even more reversed." The five mountains are shaken, or Gangfu falls into the flat ground, or the flat land protrudes from the mountains, the surging becomes a spring, the cracked one becomes a stream, the ground is cracked vertically and horizontally and picturesquely, and the big one is cracked by water and fire. The well spring dried up, and the new spring gushed out, gushing high and high. Mountains and rivers migrate for four or five miles, surging sand and sinking for thousands of miles. ”

This is the description of the earthquake in today's excerpts, Qian Zheng is now serving in the Department of General Affairs, and such excerpts can be seen first.

Qian Zheng is the most orthodox kind of scholar in this era, upright and honest, and worrying about the country and the people is his truest portrayal.

But in fact, this kind of person is not uncommon in the world, but Qian Zheng can be called a protected animal at the level of a giant panda if he is a fifth-rank official or above in the DPRK and China.

There are several reactions to the turn of the earth dragon in the capital, among which the mainstream opinion is that Emperor Jiajing should issue an edict to punish himself, review himself, and reform the rule of officials...... After all, the Son of Heaven, the earth dragon turned over, it was your Jiajing Emperor's pot, this black pot can not be carried by anyone except you, and you are not qualified to carry it!

What Qian Zheng saw was that after the earthquake, Shanxi and Shaanxi were not important places for grain production, and the loess slopes were high, and then there must be thousands of miles of uninhabited people, and there were corpses on the roadside.

Qian Yuan tilted his head and thought for a while, "It seems that there was a great drought in Guanzhong in the past two years, and the grain shortage was sorry...... This time the household department was busy. ”

"It's difficult, even if the household department can draw food and silver, I'm afraid it will be a drop in the bucket." Qian Zheng sighed again, and after taking a sip of wine, he asked Zhengse: "Yuan'er, what kind of relationship should you have with Wang Min, the left attendant of the military department?" ”

Qian Yuan was stunned, this is complicated, he first used Wang Chen's power in Hangzhou to avenge his father and brother, but he also gave Wang Chen a big gift, and then cooperated with the Taicang Wang family to open a sugar shop, which benefited a lot, but when it comes to the relationship, it is far and near...... Basically, there is only a relationship between using and being used.

Listening carefully to his nephew's description, Qian Zheng frowned, stroked his long beard, gave Lu a look and drove the maid out of the house, and then said softly: "Today, there is a book in the imperial history to impeach Wang Minying, which mentions that he drove the scholar to be fortunate to enter the ......"

Qian Yuan's eyes widened, what the hell is this?

Am I driven by the king's people?

Or is it a lucky villain?

Qian Yuan asked bluntly: "Imperial History?" Whose people? ”

"This person is a Jinshi in the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing, and he is from Shanxi." Qian Zheng said slowly: "There is also a person who wrote to impeach Wang Min for suppressing the Japanese when he was the governor of Zhejiang three years ago. ”

"Shanxi?" Qian Yuan squinted his eyes and whispered, "Puzhou Yang Weiyu? ”

Yang Weiyue is Yang Bo, a native of Puzhou, Shanxi, who was praised by Yan Shifan as one of the three heroes of the world in history, and is now the secretary of the military department.

Qian Zheng was not surprised by his nephew's behavior of finding the target so quickly, and nodded: "It should be him, but I don't know why." ”

"I don't think I named any names, did I?"

"Nope." Qian Zheng frowned and said: "But anyone with a discerning eye knows who it is, you entered Xiyuan five days ago, and you only came out in three hours, you must know that Your Majesty's scholars, six books and other great nine kings, the rest may not be able to see Tianyan in a year." ”

"It shouldn't be of much use, my nephew hasn't joined the ranks yet, and the so-called luck is just a false word." Qian Yuan shook his head, "Yang Weiyue is only targeting Wang Minying. ”

Speaking of this, Qian Yuan paused, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Uncle, the Earth Dragon turned over in Puzhou, right?" ”

"Yes, Puzhou was the most damaged, and it is said that the population has plummeted by 70%." Qian Zheng also reacted, "You mean ......"

Qian Yuan said with a smile: "It should be right, Yang Wei is about eighty percent going back to his hometown to guard filial piety." ”

Qian Zheng hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly, if Yang Bo really has someone in his family who dies and wants to return to his hometown to guard filial piety, in order it should be Wang Chen, the left attendant of the Ministry of War, who is on the throne, and Yang Bo doesn't want Wang Chen to take the throne.

But Qian Zheng raised a new question, "For private or public?" ”

"Wang Min should have a good name for this person and covet power, but he is short-sighted and not good at military strategy." Qian Yuan shook his head vigorously and said, "Whether it is for public or private, it can not be matched." ”

"Can you be unworthy......" Qian Zheng muttered a few words, with a smile on his face.

Can it be matched...... This is a new word invented by Qian Yuan, generally speaking, in this era, there is only the saying that virtue is not worthy.

But for those officials who are interested in turning the tide and falling, whether they can match or not is the criterion for selection, such officials are like Gao Gong, such as Zhang Juzheng, and Qian Zheng.

"Anyway, we don't care about it, let them bite it...... Fight. ”

Qian Yuancai didn't believe that Yang Bo came to find trouble for himself inexplicably, even if it was, Xingjin Xingjin...... With Emperor Jiajing on top, he may not be able to ascend the emperor list next year, and after Hu Zongxian became the governor of Zhejiang, his weight is obviously not as heavy as it was more than a month ago.

After coming to this conclusion, picking and picking a few chopsticks, Qian Yuan picked up half a bowl of rice to deal with, and prepared to go back to Yang Wen for a supper...... The barbecue grill was just finished yesterday, and there are not many ingredients, but at least there are enough mutton tubes, and there are a lot of chicken wings and chicken legs selected, which is enough to eat.

But the next moment, Yang Wen suddenly appeared outside the door.

"Young master, there is a delivery note from the palace."

"Come in." Qian Yuan beckoned, "Wang Yuanmei ...... more than a month ago He almost cut off relations with me, and didn't let his brother Shaomei come and go...... Well, what should have been sent was Wang Shaomei's post. ”

Yang Wen nodded, it was indeed Wang Shimao's post.

Looking back, my uncle lowered his eyes slightly and said nothing.

Qian Yuan smiled and waved his hand, "Just say it...... The earth dragon turned over, and I couldn't sleep all night, so worried that I fell ill with typhoid fever and couldn't get up. ”

Watching Yang Wen go out, Qian Zheng shook his head, "Aren't you afraid of the shop?" ”

Qian Yuan commented unceremoniously: "Wang Minying is a bit like Yuan Benchu, born in a family and looks dignified, but he looks forward and backwards, and is scheming. ”

"Even if he wants to learn from Cao Mengde...... When the time comes, I will give the secret recipe to Huang Jin, the eunuch who holds the palm seal, to see what he does! ”

Qian Zheng deeply felt that although his nephew was not very knowledgeable and his literary talent was slightly poor, he was in the officialdom, and he might be stronger than himself and his grandfather Hetan Gong, and he was much, much stronger.
