Liu Jian sat in the duty room, still dizzy.

Looking back these days, my former self can be regarded as not shocked, after all, I have been an official for many years, and I have long been trained to be calm and steady, although there are also worries, but it is difficult to disturb my heart.

What is rumored outside is that Liu Jian is decisive, Li Dongyang is good at scheming, and Xie Qian is good at arguing.

And as the head of the cabinet, if you want to have a good judgment, you must be absolutely rational and calm.

But...... Recently, my heart has been disturbed.

It's a mess.

The so-called concern is chaotic, and sure enough, I still have a weakness.

After a period of sighing, I thought that the Liu family would no longer have any worries, and his son had this credit, even if His Majesty gave him the title of earl, no one in the world would be able to find a fault.

Li Long is now like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats, and his son takes it, which in itself is enough to convince the public.

When there was a sound of footsteps outside, Liu Jian knew that Fang Jifan had arrived.

Before Fang Jifan came in, Liu Jian laughed, Fang Jifan just came in, Liu Jian got up, and said with a smile: "Jifan, you are here, come, sit down, drink tea first." ”

Fang Jifan was not polite, he sat down directly, the tea had already been prepared, it was warm, he took a sip, he was comfortable, and he was very tired.

In fact...... Fang Jifan has always been angry that Liu Gong pressed him at the beginning, he is his son's master, why can't he be called Xiao Liu.

"Liu Gong......" Fang Jifan smiled, knowing that it was a little empty.

Liu Jian also smiled at him, and there was a special taste in the smile.

Fang Jifan smiled even brighter: "Liu Jie has made such a contribution, it's really gratifying, I don't know when Liu Gong made wine?" ”

Liu Jian stroked his beard and said lightly: "The matter of fame and fortune is just a floating cloud on the horizon, you don't have to look too seriously, it is too ostentatious to make wine, but my son can become a talent, this is a gratifying thing, speaking of this, my son is thanks to the teaching of the successor, this is a great kindness, and when he comes back, he will let him personally thank him, the old man has always taught him, to be a man, to understand Entu, he is a good boy, people are very honest......"

Fang Jifan empathized with this: "Yes, Liu Jie is really a good boy. ”

"......" Liu Jian always felt that when Fang Jifan called Liu Jie a child, he was very harsh, and he coughed: "Jifan, what is going on in the future, can you give the old man a discussion, you also know that the old man has always valued you very much, among the nobles, most of the other children are not in the eyes of the old man, only you...... Larger than life. ”

What is the ...... Sound familiar?

Fang Jifan seems to have heard of it somewhere, this familiar feeling is very kind.

Fang Jifan was happy: "Yes, yes, to be favored by Duke Liu, three lives are lucky." ”

Liu Jian actually heard a hint of irony from these words.

He was a little afraid of this Fang Jifan: "Well, if you have time to sit at home, don't be polite." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll come often."

"Well......" In fact, Liu Jian still has a faint uneasiness in his heart, he can't figure out where Liu Jie will be sent to death next, thinking of this, he shuddered!

He admitted that Fang Jifan was indeed discerning, but there were times when horses stumbled.

For the safety of his son, he, the father, has only ......

So he gritted his teeth and said: "The old man is not thin to your Fang family, usually many imperial histories impeach you, but the old man is here to suppress it, you say it accurately, there will be no such thing as cutting first and then playing in the future." ”

Fang Jifan hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, absolutely not, use the word-of-mouth that our Jifan has accumulated over the years to guarantee." ”

Liu Jian's eyes erupted with fire, and his words were insincere enough.

"The old man can't believe it."

Fang Jifan was a little speechless, it seemed that Liu Gong had misunderstood him, seeing Liu Jian staring at him coldly, as if he had the intention of killing people, Fang Jifan had no choice but to say: "If our Jifan dares to cut the first and then play, the sky will thunder!" ”

But it just happened, it was magical, and at this moment, there was a sudden boom, the earth trembled, and the doors and windows clanged.

Liu Jian's face changed.

Sky...... Thunder in the sky?

What happened?

The tea that Fang Jifan was holding in his hand actually left his hand directly and fell to the ground with a click.

Earth...... The ground collapsed?

Between the lightning and flint, Fang Jifan had an idea.

The ground must have collapsed.

Fang Jifan looked confused, and suddenly he remembered one thing, in the first month of the fourteenth year of Ming Hongzhi, the ground collapsed in Lingqiu County, Datong, and the earth was shocked from day to day, and there was a sound like thunder. And Chaoyi County is especially serious, from now to the 17th of the frequent earthquake, shaking down the city wall and towers; More than 15,400 houses were damaged, more than 900 men and women were crushed, and many animals died......

Lingqiu County collapsed.

And this historical fact, Fang Jifan in the early days, in fact, did not have much memory, but in the previous life from the county records of Lingqiu County, it is difficult to have too deep impression, because compared to the landslide, the drought, flood, locust plague of the Ming Dynasty, and other disasters that directly lead to 'cannibalism', are too numerous to mention, this is a dynasty with many disasters and difficulties, and there has never been a day of peace.

Outside, a newly installed glass window was swept by the vibration and shattered directly.

Listening to the sound of the glass breaking, Fang Jifan's face was very ugly......

Even Jingshi actually felt the earthquake, it is conceivable that two hundred kilometers, that is, four hundred miles of Lingqiu County, and now ...... What a tragedy has befallen you.

In addition, there may be a large wave of aftershocks to follow, and the damage of aftershocks may be even more terrifying, which is said to directly cause the river to burst its banks and drown countless fertile fields, people and animals.

Not only that, after the natural disaster, it was a man-made disaster, because the disaster was urgent, the imperial court could not dispatch it, and the price of food began to skyrocket...... What happened afterwards can be described as terrible.

Liu Jian's face turned grim: "The old man has something, Uncle Xin, please go back." ”

Fang Jifan also said with a stiff face: "It looks like a ...... from the West."

Liu Jian ignored him, the ground collapsed, and no matter where the ground collapsed, as the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, he must immediately convene people to discuss the matter, in addition, he also needs Qin Tianjian to inquire about the monitoring of the ground motion instrument.

In short, he now has no other thoughts at all, and directly issued the order to evict customers.

Fang Jifan couldn't help but regret a little in his heart, in the county annals at that time, the record of the land collapse was indeed vague, and because there were too many disasters, he couldn't remember it at all, where did he think of it...... This landslide came so suddenly, and it happened right next to him.

So Fang Jifan hurriedly went out of the noon gate with a heavy heart!

And outside this noon gate, Zhu Houzhao was still there.

He also seemed to feel the aftermath of the earth, and his face was as frightened as earth, and the ancients had always had an instinctive fear of such a 'heaven falling apart'.

Originally, he was waiting for Fang Jifan here, and he wanted to discuss the affairs of Zhenguo Gong, it was beautiful, left and right, and he didn't wait for Fang Jifan, he was still secretly complaining in his heart, it would take so long to see a doctor, it wouldn't be because he had any bad intentions for his sister-in-law.

Unexpectedly, the earth trembled suddenly, he almost shook, Liu Jin on the side was stunned, the eunuch was most afraid of such things, he was timid, and he was busy pulling Zhu Houzhao: "Your Highness, run away, run away, the ground is collapsing." ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't escape, looking at the tower of the noon gate, he couldn't help beating his chest and stumbling: "Father and mother, grandmother and sister-in-law, and Fang Jifan, are all inside......

When the wave collapsed, everything was calm again, and Zhu Houzhao wanted to rush in and see if anything had happened.

At this time, Fang Jifan happened to come out.

As soon as Zhu Houzhao saw Fang Jifan, he said anxiously: "Old Fang, are you okay, and there is nothing in the palace?" ”

"It's just the aftermath of the landslide, it's going to be fine." Fang Jifan said: "What is Your Highness still doing here?" ”

"I ...... I think about the matter of Zhenguo Gong, since I have done Zhenguo Gong, then I should build a Zhenguo Mansion in Xishan, in the eyes of others, it doesn't matter if we are justified or not, but we ...... ourselves."

Zhenguo Gong...... Zhenguo Gong......

Zhenguo ......

The word Zhenguo, between the lightning and flint, suddenly pierced Fang Jifan's heart......

Fang Ji Fantu's eyes widened, and he said: "Your Highness, you reminded me well, he*, the heavens were born in the world, just to suppress evil spirits!" ”

"Town...... Suppressing evil spirits? What, what do you mean......" Zhu Houzhao's face was still frightened, he was a little scared, he was not afraid of anything else, but he was in awe of such unknowable things.

Fang Jifan looked at Liu Jin and said, "Liu Jin, you go to the Hanlin Academy to summon all my protégés on duty, and tell them that if you can't catch up with Xishan within an hour, I will treat you as if there are no five protégés!" ”

"Go...... Go to West Hill ...... What are you going to do in the West Mountains? Zhu Houzhao tugged at Fang Jifan, looking puzzled.

Fang Jifan said solemnly: "This landslide is from the west, there must be an accident in the west, the sky is falling apart, people and animals are killed and injured countless times, the roads everywhere are cut off, the river is backing up, you have to save people, it has become a hell on earth......

Zhu Houzhao's teeth chattered, in Jingshi, he was like a frightened bird, he would rather face a dozen Tatars, but he had an instinctive fear of this unknown landslide.

So he said with a pale face, "You...... You're crazy, who knows if there will be any more earthquakes, don't run around. ”

Fang Jifan laughed disapprovingly: "My Jifan has done so many good things, he is a virtuous person, the so-called virtuous person, he has his own heavenly protection, and the ground collapses, what can I do!" Even if the heavens want to shake, then they should also shock those despicable and shameless villains, Liu Jin is alive, what am I afraid of? ”

At this time, his mind was full of only one thought, to save people.

If he is a person of this era, he may not know how to save it at all, but after all, he is a human being in two lives, and in the previous life, if he remembers correctly, if the sky falls apart, he will save it, even if it is ...... It was really dangerous, and Fang Jifan also admitted it.

After all...... He's really a good guy.

Liu Jin looked at Fang Jifan with resentment, sobbing his mouth, leaning over, but he didn't dare to make a sound.
