398 Relocation of the capital
An earthquake that can be recorded in history, no matter how small, will definitely shake the ground at the moment of occurrence. Therefore, the officials and citizens who saw this scene were all stunned by this scene.
"Don't be stunned, everyone, hurry away from dangerous buildings and go to an open place!"
The person who reacted first roared, and then the other officials and people also reacted, and they all immediately began to protect themselves according to the advance teachings of the imperial court.
Earthquakes are often not just once, and this time is the same, after a few aftershocks, many people were frightened.
You must know that those specially designed earthquake-proof buildings in later generations cannot be 100% earthquake-proof, let alone those buildings of the Han Dynasty. Even though we were able to build as strong as possible in the last reconstruction, many of them collapsed in the earthquake.
Looking at these ruins, those people are quite afraid. If it weren't for the precautions, the people who were in those buildings would have gone without saying, and they would have been dissolved.
This is a great grace to save lives, how can those people not be grateful. So, they spontaneously took action to thank the officials who had been busy for them, the emperor Liu Hong, who was thinking about them, and the Taoist sect Zhang Heng, who made the prediction in advance.
Over the years of being the emperor, Liu Hong has been thanked by the people too many times, so he is immune to this. And those officials, because of their status, were thanked by the people, and they were only slightly proud. But Zhang Heng is different here, while he is excited, he can't help but think about how to use this matter to expand his reputation and Daomen's reputation as much as possible.
Zhang Heng is quite smart. Otherwise. It is impossible for him to hitchhike on Liu Hong's free ride and be appointed as a Taoist sect. Therefore, as early as the moment he felt the earthquake, he knew that this time he must be on fire. Moreover, not only is he popular, but even the Dao Gate can be stained with a lot of light.
You must know that some time ago, the Daomen was robbed of too many benefits by the Buddhism, and he was the Taoist sect of the Daomen. That's pretty unkind. However, due to the rise of Buddhism, both Liu Hong's promoter and the queen were involved, he couldn't be cautious. But this time, it's a godsend. He must ponder and ponder it well, and take back the benefits that Buddhism has stolen.
How do you get back the benefits? It must be the first thing to strive for greater prestige. Therefore. Zhang Heng hit the idea until the incident happened. After all, the god stick. The best thing is to make this set of ghost things. After making up his mind, Zhang Heng immediately took his disciples and grandchildren to toss around in this Luoyang City.
Zhang Heng tossed here, Liu Hong was not idle there, and as soon as the earthquake was over, Liu Hong summoned all those ministers.
Above the main hall. Those opposition factions all bowed their heads, and there was no longer the same impassioned as last time. But Liu Hong will not let them go like this.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the heavens warn about it. Let Zhang Daozong give the misfortune seriously, let's talk about what to do? ”
"What else can I do, the reconstruction that should be rebuilt, and the relocation of the capital that should be moved."
The ministers pouted, and then turned their gaze to the opposition. After all, they all knew that Liu Hong's words were said to them.
The ministers of the Han Dynasty attached great importance to reputation and face, because of their persistence, Luoyang suffered an earthquake, and in the past few days, they were all in deep self-blame, and they could be regarded as suffering. And now, when those ministers looked at them, they all bowed their heads in shame.
"Yes, and shame!"
Seeing the faces of those ministers, Liu Hong was still quite happy. After all, they still know that shame proves that their nature is not bad, and they have not reached the point where they will do whatever it takes for the sake of profit, and they can still be saved.
Liu Hong has this idea, and Liu Qi also has this idea. In Liu Qian's view, although those ministers are fighting for their own interests, what he said is not without a little truth. In addition, whether it is the post-disaster reconstruction or the work of the palace maids who moved the capital, they are all under the control of their government affairs yuan. Therefore, Liu Qian stood up.
"Your Majesty, the earthquake has struck and left many people homeless. Therefore, it is imperative to complete the post-disaster reconstruction work as soon as possible. ”
"Yes, this post-disaster reconstruction work, that is the top priority, must be started immediately, and those victims must return to their homes as soon as possible."
When they heard about post-disaster reconstruction, those opposition parties couldn't stand still. After all, they lost the bet and were responsible for compensating the victims. So, they didn't wait for Liu Hong to call them, they all took the initiative to stand up.
"Your Majesty, this incident originated with us, so no matter how much money is spent on this post-disaster reconstruction, it will all be borne by us. Even if we smash the pot and sell iron, we will definitely let those victims rebuild their homes. With that, they took out their big seals and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, because of our reasons, we have brought such a great disaster to the people of Luoyang, and we have no shame to be officials in the court anymore, please fulfill your Majesty." ”
"If you want to resign, how is this possible!"
Let's not say that this earthquake has nothing to do with them, even if it does, he now agrees to their resignation, which will also make those officials feel cold.
"A few Aiqing, don't say anything if you resign." Liu Hong personally walked up to them, helped them up, and said: "The matter of the warning from heaven is too mysterious, so it is human nature that you don't believe it. Besides, your opposition to moving the capital is also for the sake of the people and the court. Just because of your intentions, I will never allow you to resign. ”
"Your Majesty, just let us go, we really don't have the face to stay."
"Alright, don't say it." Liu Hong waved his hand and said, "When you encounter something, how can you think about escaping?" What you have to do now is not to resign, but to do your best to develop Luoyang City well to make up for your mistakes! ”
As the saying goes, it's better to be agitated than to be aggressive. Hearing this, not only did they not resign, but asked Liu Hong for an order to let them take charge of Luoyang's work.
"That's right, I'll leave the post-disaster reconstruction work to you." After arranging these oppositionists, Liu Hong spoke again, "Since the heavens have warned us, it means that the situation is serious." Therefore, in order not to affect the people again, we should move the capital as soon as possible, I think, no one should be against it now, right?! ”
The end of the opposition is there, who dares to oppose it, so those ministers all bowed their heads. When Liu Hong saw this scene, he immediately announced the start of moving the capital. (To be continued......)
