"Your Majesty, it's time for breakfast!" Wang Chengen saw Emperor Chongzhen standing at the door of the main hall, hurriedly greeted him, bowed down and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "The slave has been prepared, should you send it over now?" ”

Nodding slightly, Emperor Chongzhen said lightly: "Send it over!" ”

When it comes to eating, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes lit up, what is the most important thing in this world? Eating, of course. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the late Ming Dynasty, there were many disasters, the people lived hard, they were displaced, and eating became a problem, so it was not surprising that there was a rebellion. Since this is the case, let's first solve the problem of eating and solve the problem of food for the people.

Back to modern times to get seeds and grain, Emperor Chongzhen thought so, just getting food is useless.

I have to feed the people of an empire, relying on my own traffickers, God knows when I will get it. But back then, it was okay to get some seeds, and as for fertilizer, see if there was a way to produce it.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen's mood has improved a lot, as the saying goes, if you have food in your pocket, you don't panic, and if you have money and food, it will be easy to do disaster relief.

Sitting down to eat, Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood, but this good mood was quickly broken. Emperor Chongzhen suddenly felt that the earth shook a little, and the walls in the room trembled, and Emperor Chongzhen's face turned white.

"Holy!" scolded loudly, Emperor Chongzhen ran out directly to the outside of the hall.

After going through so much training in modern times, how could Emperor Chongzhen not know that it was an earthquake? Before Emperor Chongzhen ran to the door, the hall was already shaking violently, and Emperor Chongzhen's body also shook, and he fell directly to the ground.

I wanted to stand up several times, but I didn't succeed, and at this time, Emperor Chongzhen felt that someone was pulling up.

When I looked up, it was Wang Chengen, and the two of them ran to the Jiaotai Hall with their support. Emperor Chongzhen found that he couldn't get out, so he decisively lifted the curtain and went directly under the table.

It wasn't until the tremors were a little lighter that Emperor Chongzhen ran outside the main hall.

There was already chaos outside, the shouts of the palace maids and eunuchs were endless, and the earth shook more violently.

Bang!

In the frightened gaze of Emperor Chongzhen, the side hall behind him suddenly collapsed, the earth and stone collapsed, the smoke and dust splashed, and many palace maids and eunuchs who didn't have time to come out were directly buried inside.

Waving his hand and fanning the dust, Emperor Chongzhen spat out a mouthful of foam, a mouthful of sand.

"Wang Chengen, hurry up and arrange for people to save people, and go to the harem to have a look." Emperor Chongzhen said eagerly: "I'll go in person and go to the harem to have a look." ”

Wang Chengen hurriedly beckoned people to save people, and he accompanied Emperor Chongzhen to the harem, at this time he did not dare to leave Emperor Chongzhen's side.

As soon as he was halfway through, Emperor Chongzhen saw Empress Zhou who was hurrying over, and when he saw Emperor Chongzhen, Empress Zhou threw herself directly into Emperor Chongzhen's arms. I heard that the side hall of the Qianqing Palace collapsed, which frightened Queen Zhou.

Seeing that the other party was fine, whether it was Emperor Chongzhen or Empress Zhou, they were all relieved at this time.

News soon came from the harem that there was nothing wrong with the palace, and several concubines were fine, so they had to be quite frightened. There were many palace maids and eunuchs who were injured, and a few were stoned to death, but they were not as serious as Emperor Chongzhen's.

"Go to the cabinet and let them find out as soon as possible and count the losses!" There was nothing to do inside the palace, and Emperor Chongzhen's eyes naturally turned to the outside of the palace.

Just a little better mood, at this moment once again fell to the bottom, this time the earthquake occurred in the hinterland of Beijing, from the feeling of shaking, the palace should not be the epicenter, I hope the loss will not be too big, otherwise it will be troublesome.

Flicking his sleeves irritably, Emperor Chongzhen walked forward with his hands behind his back, and said dissatisfiedly: "What do the people of Qin Tianjian do eat?" I raised them all to eat dry food? In the land of the capital, the earth dragon turned over, and he didn't notice it at all, it was all waste! ”

Emperor Chongzhen's venting is actually not very sufficient, how can it be possible to predict the accurate time of the earthquake in this era, even in later generations.

It's just that there must have been an omen before the earthquake, but no one found out, and Emperor Chongzhen was also a little annoyed. After all, the occurrence of a catastrophe is a test for the country, a very, very big test, especially for the current Ming Dynasty, which is simply adding insult to injury.

Soon there was a general result of the matter, and after hearing the result, Emperor Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair weakly.

"Your Majesty, there was a big explosion in the gunpowder factory of Wang Gongchang, which coincided with the turning of the earth dragon, and the eastern city was already in a mess, and the people suffered heavy casualties." The minister reported below, but Emperor Chongzhen didn't listen to a word: "The minister, please mobilize the three battalions to maintain order, and help clean up the ruins and bury the corpses." ”

"There will be a great epidemic after the catastrophe, and although the weather is not so hot now, the corpse will not be left for too long, and it needs to be disposed of as soon as possible." A cabinet driver added.

Emperor Chongzhen slowly raised his head, glanced at the two ministers who were speaking, waved his hand and said, "You guys go and arrange it!" ”

Several ministers also saw that Emperor Chongzhen was wrong, glanced at each other, and each retired to make arrangements.

Wang Gongchang exploded, Emperor Chongzhen smiled bitterly, is this his own butterfly wings? In history, Wang Gongchang's explosion occurred during the Apocalypse, but he was Emperor Chongzhen, what the hell was the explosion two or three years late?

"Your Majesty, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and relax your mind, there is no hurdle that you can't pass." Reaching out and groping for Emperor Chongzhen's hand, Empress Zhou comforted softly.

It took a long time for Emperor Chongzhen to come back to his senses, things are already like this, what else can I do?

smiled at Queen Zhou and nodded: "Don't worry, Queen, I'm fine, but I'm a little distracted for a while." In the past few years, the Ming Dynasty has not been peaceful, disasters have occurred frequently in various places, and the life of the people is not easy. Now that such a dragon has turned over, it is really bitter for the people. ”

"It's rare for the emperor to have this heart." The empress looked at Emperor Chongzhen and comforted him with a smile.

This postponed explosion of Wang Gongchang is very similar to history, which caused a great shock to Emperor Chongzhen at the same time, but also disrupted Emperor Chongzhen's plan, everything can only be pushed back, and disaster relief has become the first priority.

Chaos can be everywhere, but not in Gyeonggi Heavyland, and pacification and disaster relief have become the top priority.

Later history books recorded in detail what happened this time: the sky in the capital was bright, and suddenly there was a roar, from the northeast of the city to the southwest corner of the city, and at the same time a huge fireball rolled in the air. In the loud noise, the sky was full of silky and tidal colorless clouds flying sideways, and there were large, black mushroom and Ganoderma lucidum clouds standing straight up in the southwest corner of the city like pillars.

In an instant, the sky was dark, dust and fire flew, the sky collapsed, and the ten thousand rooms were flat. From Fuchengmen in the east to Xingbu Street in the north, wood, stones, human bodies, and poultry corpses fall from the sky like raindrops in the area. Tens of thousands of houses and more than 20,000 people were blown into powder, rubble flew into the air, clothes flew as far as Changping, and the dead were naked.

The craftsmen who were working in the Forbidden City were shaken off the tall scaffolding, and 2,000 people fell into "meat bags". The elephants in the honor guard prepared for the emperor to leave the palace fled from the elephant house in fright, scurrying all over the streets, trampling on the people, and countless people died.

The imperial historian He Qianshu and Pan Yunyi were shocked to death in the Qianqing Palace, and the He family and Pan family, who lived in the southwest of the city, were buried in the soil. Since the palace was on the verge of an explosion zone, the emperor was spared.

According to the record of "Tianbian Di Copy", when the big explosion broke out, Emperor Chongzhen was having breakfast in the Qianqing Palace, when suddenly the hall shook, the emperor threw down the rice bowl, got up and went straight to the Jiaotai Palace. The speed was so fast that the panicked attendants didn't have time to keep up for a while, and only ******** Wang Chengen supported him. But when you go to the side of the Jianji Palace, there are wooden thresholds and mandarin tiles falling from the sky.

Emperor Chongzhen gasped and ran into the Jiaotai Palace, hiding under a table in the main hall, at the same time, the main hall of the Qianqing Palace was seriously damaged, a mess, the throne and the royal case were all overturned to the ground, and the eunuchs who served the emperor for breakfast were martyred, and no one survived.

Emperor Chongzhen also saw this record, and even hid under the table in great detail, which made Emperor Chongzhen very helpless.

I'd love to find the guy who wrote this and stuff it directly under the table, he knows a fart, of course the earthquake has to hide under the table. It's just that Emperor Chongzhen can't do anything about the historians, those guys are a group of stinky and hard guys.

From this day on, the situation outside entered the palace three times a day, and Emperor Chongzhen's face was not good-looking.

In addition to the central disaster area, other places were also affected to varying degrees, and the loud noise spread throughout the whole city of Beijing, from Hexi in the south, Tongzhou in the east, and Miyun and Changping in the north.

This catastrophe has brought huge casualties, and only in the central disaster area, there are "tens of thousands of people". There were several thousand people whose names were killed, and those whose names were unknown and how many thousand were craftsmen in the palace, and about 2,000 people who fell from the earthquake. There is also a school of students, "At the intersection of the West Guangdong Guild Hall, there are 32 children who have been taught by Mengshi, and after a ring, there is no trace of the master and apprentice." ”

Looking at the statement that there was no trace, Emperor Chongzhen sighed, it was estimated that it was a crack in the earth, and he fell directly.

After the catastrophe, the whole country of the Ming Dynasty was in a panic, the people were panicked, the government and the opposition were shaken, and the complaints were boiling.

Some people believe that this is due to the "curse of heaven" caused by the rampant and domineering, perverse behavior, embezzlement and bribery, and corruption of traitors, thieves, eunuchs, and eunuchs, and "the heavens have eyes to punish the Zhu dynasty".

Some people believe that this is due to "the son of heaven showing an example to heaven", and the emperor is asked to "bow down to the province".

For a while, all kinds of people of insight jumped out one after another, expressing their opinions one by one, which added fuel to the fire, and people with ulterior motives naturally couldn't run away. The attention of the imperial court did not change because of the catastrophe, and for a time the excerpts of participating in the impeachment of Wei Zhongxian doubled.

Among them, there were many people who insinuated against Emperor Chongzhen, and were very dissatisfied with Emperor Chongzhen's protection of Wei Zhongxian, which made Emperor Chongzhen extremely angry.
