Chapter 495: Xuanhe Great Water
(Maopu Chinese) Kaifeng City, Chengcheng Stacked City; There is a city on the ground and several floors in the dungeon. v o d t . c o m
In the history of urban civilization in the world, there are many famous cities that have been annihilated and disappeared in the long river of history for various reasons, such as the ancient city of Pompeii buried by volcanic ash, the Angkor Thom abandoned in the primeval forest, the great city of Alexandria that sank under the water due to earthquakes, and the ancient city of Loulan that was flooded by wind and sand.
Compared with Kaifeng City, those disappeared ancient cities can only be regarded as a resurrected history museum of a certain country and a certain era, while Kaifeng is a living fossil of a dynasty change. Historically, since the Warring States of Wei, through the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, the six underground cities not only show the history of Kaifeng's ancient city changes for more than 2,000 years since the establishment of the city, but also engrave the glory, tragedy and loss that Kaifeng once had.
Kaifeng, known as Biandu in the Song Dynasty, is located on the southern flank of the large alluvial fan-formed plain in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. In terms of geographical status, Biandu is in the plain, there is no need to defend the dangerous place, there is no geographical advantage at all, and there is only the Yellow River can be regarded as a natural risk, and it is really incomprehensible that the five dynasties of the Tang Dynasty built their capitals here.
Late at night, the rain still kept falling, and these women couldn't leave the house, so Lotte ordered the house to vacate the house and stay with these women. Although the Le family mansion is not very large, it is enough for these women to live in the rooms used to entertain guests.
"Ah...... A well in the backyard overflowing? Before Lotte could speak, a female actor next to him exclaimed, with a panicked look.
"Sister Li'er is afraid that she doesn't know, the well water overflow is going to be a big flood!" The female trick who was called Yun Niangzi said, stretched out her hand to wipe her tears as she spoke, and whimpered: "When the slave family was eight years old, it rained as much rain as today one day, which caused a flood in the hometown, and after the flood, a plague broke out, and the slave family was sold into the dust......
After some comfort, Sister Li said: "Sisters, don't cry, this is the Imperial City of the Son of Heaven, even if there is a flood, it will not be able to flood the city, don't this leisure!" ”
"Lord Le......" Just when the female dancers were about to go back to their rooms to sleep, the sister Li looked at Lotte with all kinds of affection, and her eyes were full of seduction, "The slave family sees that there is a person with Liujia in the inner room of the adult's house, if the adult's family is inconvenient to wait for the adult, the slave family can wait for the adult, and the slave family waits for the adult without taking a penny, so he has the right to today's accommodation money!" ”
Giggle......
Molested!
Unexpectedly, Lotte left, and the women laughed even more fiercely.
Heavy rain fell from the sky, the well in Biandu overflowed, the riverbed was higher than Biandu, and the water level of the Yellow River with a hanging river in the whole river would rise to what it would look like.
However, in the Great Song Dynasty, when science is underdeveloped, especially in the era when many natural phenomena cannot be explained, it is like earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, long rainbows, comets appear, meteorites falling...... will be seen as a warning from heaven.
What does it mean to be warned from heaven? It means that the Son of Heaven is at fault, so in ancient times, whenever there was any disaster and unexplainable natural phenomenon, the emperor would write a guilty edict to count his own mistakes, even if it was a wise gentleman who had no fault, he would also find a lot of mistakes to write a bunch of his own immorality.
But natural disasters can be avoided by suing the emperor's request, besides, China is a vast land, this year's floods, next year's fires, where the next year's earthquakes, where the volcanoes erupt, the emperor Lao Tzu is a head bag, it is useless.
So the clever emperors of the Song Dynasty came up with a good solution, and that was to find a bunch of scapegoats.
In the Qin and Han dynasties, the system of three princes and nine secretaries was still attacked, but the name was different, but by the time of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the system of three princes and nine secretaries was gradually replaced by the prototype of the system of three provinces and six ministries, and then to the Sui Dynasty, the system of three princes and nine secretaries came to an end.
Some people will ask what to do with the resurrection of this backward three-third-nine-nine?
Three princes and nine kings, a total of twelve scapegoats, how can it be enough for a while.
But Lotte knows in his heart that the political situation of the Great Song Dynasty is extremely erosive, and with the flood in Biandu, the forces of the DPRK and China do not know what to do to suppress each other, and put on the heads of their respective political enemies. It can even be said that every disaster is a contest in the court.
If someone really wants to use this matter to embarrass themselves, there is a chance that they will not be able to escape this catastrophe, after all, this era is too superstitious.
After only a short break at night, Lotte woke up and could still hear the rain outside, which made Lotte's brow furrow even more.
It's just that at dawn, the sky is still gray, the day is still like being stabbed, and the heavy rain still keeps falling, and there is no intention of stopping the rain at all. When Lotte got out of the house, he saw that the water in the front yard was up to his knees, and he didn't know what the street looked like.
Lotte was very surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect the flood to be so fierce, and he didn't know how many people would be displaced.
Lotte thought about it, it was Wu Song's voice that pulled Lotte's thoughts back, only to hear Wu Song continue: "It's in Biandu City, and now the water on the street has been waistless, and even many houses in low-lying places have collapsed......
Wu Song smiled, "Don't worry, the villain, Shakuqi, Tu Si and the three of them all know that the adult is the new position of Zhongsheren, how can they delay the adult's entry into the palace, so the three of me didn't think about it all night, and specially made a small boat for the adult to send the adult into the palace!" ”
