In June, the imperial court once again began to prepare to go to Haizhou for summer vacation, except for the officials who stayed behind, all the centers of the imperial court would move to Haizhou with the royal family. Over the past few years, the Ming Dynasty seems to have become accustomed to these, and of course, correspondingly, there will be a large amount of expenses every year for summer vacations - additional expenses of up to hundreds of thousands.

This is obviously not what Ming Jun did, for the traditional scholars who have always advocated "opening up sources and reducing expenditures", this seems to be another proof, proof of today's "mediocrity", however, the people's Qing Dynasty cannot prevent the imperial court from going to Haizhou every year to escape the summer. This has been true in previous years, and it is also true this year.

In fact, since the beginning of June, the center of the Ming Dynasty has begun to prepare to go to Haizhou for the summer, perhaps they will occasionally verbally express their dissatisfaction with the huge annual summer expenses, but every June, they will take the initiative to pack up their preparations to go to Haizhou to avoid the heat.

People always say one thing and do another, from luxury to simplicity, after getting used to enjoyment, it will be natural. Even they put their minds on the beach early, and Zhu Mingzhong, who was the initiator of everything, was also full of expectations for this year's summer vacation, but even so, he still couldn't show too eagerness. After taking care of the affairs in the morning, he took Amir and Hanikez out of the palace and went straight to the royal park in the center of the city, according to the previous plan.

The so-called Royal Park is not just a "royal park", in fact, it is a park given by the royal family to the people, covering an area of no less than 100 acres, in the park, there is also a stage for the troupe to perform, and there are various operas, juggling and other performances every day. After entering, there is a grassy square. There is a very rare flying dragon island on the square, there are several wooden boats in the shape of dragons on the island, the machine starts, the dragon boat takes off and spins, so that tourists like to sit on the dragon and fly in the sky. To the west of Feilong Island is Zhuge Liang's Eight Formations, rows of densely packed bushes, arranged into zigzag paths, people walk in, and they can't find a way out if they get lost; I could only hear men, women, and children laughing and screaming in the maze, making a fuss.

As soon as they stepped into the park gate, they were attracted by the park, and they saw that there were already many tourists in the square, the men were all well-dressed, and the women were dressed in brightly colored long skirts. They were of all different identities, including merchants, literati, of course, ladies and ladies, and inevitably prostitutes and tourists with their dependents.

Some of them sit on the dragon boat to have fun, and some enter the eight formations to be fascinated and playful, and for the two girls from the Western Regions, Aimir and Hanikez, the lively scene in this garden immediately made them addicted to it, and they screamed in surprise if they did not enter, and the tourists occasionally saw these two women who looked very different from the Han people, and they would also be stunned by their beauty, they didn't think of how eye-catching their appearance was, but they happily played in the garden, and Zhu Mingzhong, who accompanied them, felt the eyes cast around them, At this time, he was dressed as an ordinary scribe, and he could feel that from the moment he entered the park, when they attracted the attention of others, he was also noticed by others, and it seemed that everyone was envious of his good fortune.

Came to a stage, listened to the rhythm of the Ottoman music, only to see a few tulle Arab dancers on the stage swinging their waists, performing belly dance there, as their waists continued to speed up with the rhythm, the dozens of round tables set up under the stage were all shouting hello, they drank tea, while flirting with the prostitutes next to them, some hooked shoulders and backs, some laughed at the face.

In this regard, Zhu Mingzhong only smiled slightly, he even had an illusion, perhaps, this is the so-called "sign of prosperity", perhaps, he can't stop this kind of extravagant indulgence, but it is certain that at least in the troubled times, all this does not exist.

"They don't dance as well as me and Hanikez dances well, if Your Majesty wants to see it, I will dance with her when I return to the palace today."

Noticing that His Majesty seemed to be staring at the dancers, Emile said with some jealousy. In her opinion, those women could not compare with her at all, except that their bodies were plumper than her.

"Okay, I'll take a good look at it when I return to the palace!"

When Zhu Mingzhong spoke, he even glanced around the two of them with eyes full of desire, and had to admit that compared to the daughters of the Han family, they knew how to please men, and they could "unlock" to the extreme in bed.

Because of this, people can't help but indulge in it, but unfortunately, now Yarkand has become a thing of the past, intelligence from Xi'an shows that a month ago, the Qing army has occupied Yarkand, Yarkand all the men in the country, except for a few surrenders, were almost slaughtered, as for women, they are often plundered to the banner people as slaves.

Otherwise, it would be nice to let them pay some more tribute.

Yarkand is gone, isn't there still Kazakhstan? And even Russia.

Zhu Mingzhong thought so in his heart, and seemed to have found some kind of impetus for expansion, of course, this idea was temporarily dispelled with the girl's coquettish smile.

After a short break, they went to the zoo again. The Royal Park is not only the largest park in the capital, but also a zoo, which is captive with animals from all over the world, and regardless of giraffes and other exotic animals, as for tigers, leopards, jackals, wolves, bears, roe deer, roe deer and other animals, it is even more common, since the opening of the park, here is the most attractive place in the capital, very attractive to adults and children, all kinds of animals are sometimes caused by the surprise of the two of them, for a while, this is all their surprised laughter, Listening to the delicate smile in his ears, Zhu Mingzhong's mood also became extremely comfortable, looking at their graceful figures, looking at the fluttering of the Confucian skirt, he was in a good mood, so he played in this garden with the two girls, for him, this is also a joy that he has not enjoyed for a long time.

Finally, after a whole afternoon of playing. The three of them who were tired of playing went to the pond in the park with clear water and lotus dots to rest, although Amir and Hanikezi were already very tired, but when Zhu Mingzhong sat down, they still massaged his legs, and even Aimir went to buy fruit, and fed Zhu Mingzhong on the side when Hanikezi was massaging, and the taste naturally made Zhu Mingzhong very satisfied. As for the people around him, he sometimes cast envious eyes.

"Are you comfortable?"

Hanikezi asked as she looked at His Majesty with blinking eyes.

"Well, comfortable is comfortable, but after turning back, you two should go to learn massage, this technique still needs to be improved."

Zhu Mingzhong didn't praise them directly, listening to Hanikezi's seemingly unhappy snort, he smiled slightly in his heart, and a hand had already reached her waist.

"No, Your Majesty, there is ...... here You see, what's going on in this pool? ”

Feeling His Majesty's hand groping around her waist, Hanikezi said shyly and timidly, wanting to get rid of Her Majesty, she set her eyes on the pond, and then she noticed that the water in the pond had become a little muddy.

Looking into the pond, Zhu Mingzhong also saw that the pond, which was supposed to be clear and clear, had become turbid at this time.

"This water is really strange, it was still a piece of blue water, but now it is like this."

"What's so strange about this, a few days ago, the water gushed from the back well of the village where the younger brother lives, and there was a sound in the well, and the sound was like thunder......

It was here that the words of a few scholars not far away came into Zhu Mingzhong's ears, making his brows furrow, maybe for others, this was just a "natural vision", but a bad omen emerged in his heart.

"The sound of the well is like thunder......"

With this strange appearance in his mouth, Zhu Mingzhong's brows became tighter and tighter, and the omen of inaction became deeper and deeper.

Earthquake!

Suddenly, he remembered that the abnormal change in the water table that accompanied the occurrence of an earthquake could be used as a macroscopic anomaly, and that the sudden turbidity of the water in the pond was also a sign.

Could it be an earthquake?

For Zhu Mingzhong, who experienced the earthquake in 08, some earthquake knowledge may be a little vague, but it still makes him remember it vividly, especially the tragic situation after the earthquake.

Earthquake!

Earthquake!

Is there an earthquake going to happen?

Just when this thought came to him, suddenly the smile on Zhu Mingzhong's face disappeared, and he even stood up suddenly, and a vague, not even very clear memory came to his mind.

Earthquake!

That's right!

In the 17th century, there would be an earthquake in Shandong, although he can't remember exactly when, but Zhu Mingzhong clearly remembered that this earthquake was one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded in Chinese mainland, and the tremors were felt within a radius of thousands of kilometers.

When did this earthquake occur?

It's the early years of Kangxi, what time is it!

Zhu Mingzhong, who stood up, stared at the pond with his eyes, but he couldn't remember the time when the earthquake happened, after all, it was just a random browser in the past, who can remember everything?

"What should I do?"

Staring at the turbid pond, Zhu Mingzhong's brows became tighter and tighter, and his breathing became rapid, along with Amir and Hanikez, they also noticed the change in His Majesty's face, and they didn't know what was going on, but they just looked at His Majesty nervously, and they even became a little overwhelmed.

What now?

Although the garden was full of greenery at this time, what Zhu Mingzhong saw at this time was a solemn scene, and in the face of this devastating earthquake that could happen at any time, he suddenly became a little at a loss.

Now what?
