Chapter 734: The Great Earthquake of the Beijing Division
Zhao Zhen took the crown prince Zhao Xu to participate in the winter ceremony, and the courtiers were extremely happy, which means that His Majesty has begun to pay attention to the cultivation of the prince!
How many emperors in ancient and modern times only attach importance to the throne under their buttocks and ignore the inheritance of the imperial heir...... Even the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty rarely cultivated their heirs, and most of them hurriedly drafted edicts to let their heirs succeed to the throne.
The young emperor began to cultivate his heirs so early, which is a very rare thing, it can be seen that the official family sees the power in their hands very clearly, this is responsible for the foundation of the ancestors, and it is also responsible for the country of the Great Song Dynasty, what else is there to worry about with such a Ming monarch?
The northern suburbs of Tokyo City is a wilderness, the factories of Tokyo City have not yet "invaded" here, and the south is full of large and small factories, Zhao Zhen believes that this place will soon be surrounded by factories, and the development of commerce has promoted the rise of the Great Song Dynasty industry, which is not a day's work, but it has a very powerful force.
Even Zhao Zhen himself is now difficult to stop the development of commerce and industry, especially after the appearance of the steam engine, this kind of industrial beast that replaces water power and has strong power will definitely be introduced to the factory, efficiency is the biggest thing that businessmen pursue in addition to interests, of course, to a certain extent, efficiency is also linked to interests.
The winter ceremony is much simpler than the sacrifice to the sky, but it is still lengthy for Zhao Yun, wearing the prince's court clothes, he leaned on a thick flag and fell asleep, while his brother Zhao Xu took off his cloak and tied it to his younger brother's body, this scene was greatly shocked by the courtiers' eyes.
The prince is only a brother at the age of Huangkou this year, and it is really a great blessing for the heir of the heavenly family to have such a brother and friend.
Zhao Yun tightened the cloak on his body, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, although he was a little younger than Zhao Xu, his intelligence was not inferior to Zhao Xu, and even surpassed him, the prince's brother.
Everything today is just for the courtiers to see, and the good drama that he cooperated with his brother to play can be exchanged for more things, such as not going to the early court...... Zhao Yun knew at a young age that to protect his brother was to protect his own rights, as long as the empire of the Great Song Dynasty would be handed over to his brother in the future, then he could do whatever he wanted in his life.
Zhao Zhen is wearing a crown, which is a dress that the emperor must wear on important occasions, but Zhao Zhen rarely wore the sword of the Son of Heaven on his waist, which puzzled the courtiers.
Sure enough, with the end of the ceremony, the guards slowly stepped forward, and after them, they also followed the various departments of the forbidden army and the generals of the Beiwei, Tabai, and Sixteen Guards.
Zhao Zhen drew his sword, and Sancai shouted loudly: "The ancestors have a dead king to Anbian Sheji, reward their descendants!" ”
A group of generals knelt down on one knee in armor: "Your Majesty Xie!" ”
Yes, this is the official family buying soldiers, and rewarding the meritorious is something that His Majesty has been advocating, and the courtiers will not say it even if they feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts, and then the three people shouted again: "There are lonely widows, be compassionate." ”
A group of old and weak people in the city who followed came forward to bow down: "Thank you, Your Majesty! This is sympathetic to the people, and it is also a matter of course, and the courtiers continued to nod.
The reward was not over yet, and Sancai raised his voice again: "Give the palace attendants and hundreds of officials to wear coats!" ”
Finally, it was the turn of the officials themselves, and the courtiers shouted: "Long live my emperor!" ”
In the final analysis, this is just the emperor's welfare to the people under his rule and the civil and military officials, and now after the Great Song Dynasty got rid of the three redundant and three fees, the treasury of the imperial court is becoming more and more abundant, and the welfare is naturally better.
The lengthy ritual finally ended in great joy, and the ministers, military generals, and common people were all rewarded, even if they did not come, as long as they were in Tokyo City or under the rule of Kaifeng Prefecture, they would receive the winter charcoal money given by the emperor.
This is the official end of the winter ceremony, and Zhao Zhen can finally remove the extremely inconvenient crown on his body, Sancai carefully put away the emperor's clothes and put them in the cabinet of the car, this set of crowns is extremely precious, and the pearl and jade on the crown alone are worth thousands of gold!
As soon as he put the things away and put them in the cabinet, there was a shaking of the mountains, Sancai was unsteady on his feet, and the crown full of pearls and jades slipped out of his hands and rolled out of the car and fell at the feet of Zhao Zhen, who was about to get into the car.
At this moment, Zhao Zhen still had time to scold Sancai, and quickly rushed to the car of the two sons, after feeling this extraordinary vibration, Zhao Zhen knew that this was the precursor of the earthquake, and this was also the most precious golden time!
"The ground moves! Scatter around! Zhao Zhen rushed to his son's car and shouted like crazy, and the surrounding guards also chanted after hearing what the official family said, and asked the accompanying courtiers and people to follow.
The officials and the people suddenly regained their backbone, and hurriedly fell to the ground, roaring, and the crying gradually disappeared.
Zhao Zhen has not taken five steps, the main shock came, at this moment want to stand firm on the ground is already a fool's dream, the earth began to tremble, there seem to be countless beasts roaring underground, an invisible big hand is constantly tearing the ground, Zhao Zhen is like drunk like to shake, the guards quickly stepped forward to protect Zhao Zhen in it.
Fortunately, at this time, Zhao Zhen had already seen the two panicked and stupid sons, Zhao Yun reacted quickly, pulled his brother and rolled off the carriage, and the guards on the side quickly protected them, and the distant mountain peaks began to tremble, landslide, and collapse......
The world changed, it became gray, and I don't know where it came from, and the platform that had been built for the sacrifice fell down in a creak and smashed on the body of the craftsman who was being disassembled, making him howl miserably, but at this time no one cared about it, whether it was dead or alive.
The world vanished, or rather, the world tilted, the world went mad, the sky became dark, the ground cracked, and the sand and stones beat wildly, like an apocalyptic vision, and the timid officials and the common people began to cry out in fear.
Pang Ji, Xia Zhu, Ding Wei, and others played a calm and calm role, constantly restraining the officials around them to keep them calm, while Yan Shu, Fan Zhongyan and others held down their colleagues to prevent them from moving, and where could they escape when the earth dragon turned over?
The earthquake was just a few breaths, but it was so long, after the main earthquake, Zhao Zhen pounced on Zhao Xu and Zhao Yun for the first time, the two children were like frightened little beasts, their faces were full of fear, Zhao Xu suddenly said: "Father, the queen mother is still in the palace!" ”
Zhao Yun pulled the hem of Zhao Zhen's clothes tightly: "Father still has aftershocks!" ”
Obviously, Zhao Yun knew something about earthquakes, and Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Even if there are aftershocks, we have to go back to the palace!" At this moment, Zhao Zhen knew that his role was more important than anything else, even if he didn't do anything, returning to Tokyo City could bring great comfort and strength to the people.
The military horses driven by the tractor quickly quieted down after the panic, the guards firmly protected the carriage, and Peng Qi was already waiting in front of the car, his current task was to ensure the safety of the emperor and his heir.
