Chapter 547: Gyeonggi Earthquake
Hearing the question of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Wang Chengen was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and said: "Back to the emperor, there is no news from Fujian, this is not a trivial matter, let's talk about it!" ”
Nodding slowly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse closed his eyes again, whether he was thinking about his mind or thinking, Wang Chengen on the side didn't know. However, the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not close his eyes and recuperate for long, only after a while, the entire palace began to shake, although the vibration was not loud, but it was indeed shaking.
Suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the shaking water, a trace of something bad flashed in the mind of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, there was an earthquake! Jumping out of the water, the Emperor of the Apocalypse shouted loudly: "Earthquake force, everyone quickly find a place to hide!" As he spoke, he looked around, found a large table, and got in.
As a person who has traveled from the afterlife, he is very familiar with the earthquake, and he is now in the palace, and he can't run out of this distance at all. According to the teachings of later generations, the Emperor of the Apocalypse decisively found a suitable place to hide after shouting. However, soon the Emperor of the Apocalypse found out that something was wrong, and the house collapse in his impression did not happen, and the ground shook for a while before stopping.
"Your Majesty, it's okay, let's go outside the palace!" Fighting awkwardly outside, Wang Chengen stared at the palace maid and eunuch viciously, his eyes full of warning. He bowed down in front of the table, waiting for the Emperor of the Apocalypse to come out.
Coming out from under the table naked, Rao is Emperor of the Apocalypse is thick-skinned enough, and his face is also red at this time. looked around, and ordered: "Change my clothes, Wang Chengen, you send someone to deliver the decree, and find all the cabinet ministers and military ministers, by the way, as well as the six ministers and squires, all of them!" ”
"Your Majesty, it's getting late now, will you talk about it tomorrow?" Looking at the Emperor of the Apocalypse cautiously, Wang Chengen suggested. At this time, it seems a little inconvenient to find someone to enter the palace.
Staring at Wang Chengen fiercely, the Emperor of the Apocalypse's face suddenly became gloomy, and said loudly: "If the earthquake happened in the capital, I have been buried now, and now the people are suffering, you let me talk about it tomorrow, will those affected people wait for tomorrow?" Go quickly, and tell the messenger that if anyone can't come, he will let him go back to his hometown and farm. With that, he flicked his sleeves and walked out.
Wang Chengen's face was frightened at this time, he knew that he had touched the bottom line of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and hurriedly ran out.
Sitting on the dragon chair, the Emperor of the Apocalypse sighed helplessly, the Ming Dynasty has really reached the time of many disasters. If it weren't for saving some money and food by himself, I'm afraid the court would have been anxious at this time. After a short time, adults began to walk in, and everyone had a tired look on their faces, but their expressions were extremely serious.
There has just been an earthquake in Yangzhou, and now there is another earthquake in the capital, and their psychology is not a taste, what happened to the Ming Dynasty? After these people gave the Emperor of the Apocalypse, they all sat on the chairs that had been prepared a long time ago, and there was tea brought by the palace maid on the side. Seeing this posture, these people know that today may not be short.
When everyone arrived, the Emperor of the Apocalypse spoke: "I don't say that you Aiqing also know what happened, Qin Tianjian, can you tell me what's going on?" ”
The young eunuch of Qin Tianjian on the side stood up respectfully, and said with a bit of solemnity on his face: "Your Majesty, the minister has already gone to see the geokinetic instrument, and according to the display of the geokinetic instrument, it should be the southeast of the capital that the earth is moving. ”
Nodding slowly, it is not easy to detect these in this era, waving his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice: "I don't know what suggestions you Aiqing has?" Let's hear it! ”
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that first there was a movement in Yangzhou, and now there is a movement in the land of Gyeonggi, and Weichen feels that this is not a coincidence." At this time, a person stood up and said respectfully on his face.
Of course, this is not a coincidence, this is the Xiaoice period of the earth, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse was slightly stunned, he just knew, did he also know? I couldn't help but look carefully at the person who spoke. This is an official in his fifties, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse knew at a glance that this was Zou Cheng, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites.
"If Aiqing has anything to say, you might as well say it bluntly!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Zou Cheng and said with the slightest change in his face.
After listening to the words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zou Cheng first shook his head for a while before he spoke: "The people are born by nature, and they are raised and governed by the king." If the people are not virtuous and the government is uneven, then the disasters revealed by heaven will not be cured. At the beginning of February, the earth of Yangzhou moved, how big is the disaster? Now that Gyeonggi is moving again, it is a sign from heaven! The emperor was awarded the Baozong Temple, the world was in chaos, and one person was given, only two or three were in power, and the emperor was also in power. The emperor can't govern the masses, and he is tired of the three lights, and his immorality is great. ”
"Enough!" Seeing that Zou Cheng still had the intention of reading, the Emperor of the Apocalypse slapped the table fiercely, his face became gloomy, and he lowered his voice and said: "Zou Aiqing, then what do you think I have done to punish the people?" ”
Everyone looked at Zou Cheng with pity, and said in their hearts that you are looking for death, and we came here in the middle of the night to listen to your? Just after the earthquake, I don't know how many people were affected, if there is no relief, you are actually here to make a lot of nonsense and count the emperor's faults, it is really a pig's brain.
However, Zou Cheng didn't seem to hear what the Emperor of the Apocalypse meant, and said with a righteous face: "Since the emperor ascended the throne, clarifying the court and investigating corruption are all so-called by a generation of Ming monarchs. However, the emperor changed the law of his ancestors and reformed the military system, and God warned the emperor! ”
Staring at Zou Cheng, the face of the Emperor of the Apocalypse had completely darkened, and he was really good at picking the time. In this era, Zou Cheng's statement must be very marketable, and once it spreads, it will definitely give a handle to those who oppose military reform. The Emperor of the Apocalypse naturally knew very well what the earthquake was about, and the reform of the military system naturally could not be stopped.
"Zou Aiqing, do you think that this earth movement should take place in the Forbidden City, burying all of me and my Forbidden City, are you satisfied?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse stared at Zou Cheng and said loudly.
Zou Cheng panicked at this time, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said: "That's what the minister meant, the emperor is angry!" ”
"Zou Cheng, I ask you, do you think there is a earth movement, what should I do?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't seem to be angry anymore, looked at Zou Cheng, and said in a deep voice.
"Back to the emperor, the emperor of the ministers should issue an edict against himself, and then stop the military reform to show the emperor's respect for heaven. There was an earthquake in the land of Gyeonggi, and it was no longer in the capital in the southeast, which is to show the meaning of God's warning, and I hope the emperor will think twice! Zou Cheng didn't know if he had taken the wrong medicine, and he was still talking about reforming the military system.
The ministers present couldn't stand it anymore, and it was Yang He, the left governor of the Inspectorate, who came out first, and gave a salute to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, saying: "Your Majesty, Lord Zou is a bunch of nonsense!" Since the emperor's accession to the throne, the holy deeds have been spread all over the world, and the military reform is the biggest good governance among them. After the reform of the military system, Liaodong soldiers were strong and strong, swept away the decline of only defending but not attacking, and recovered Kaitie in one fell swoop. The territory of the Ming Dynasty is vast, what is the fuss about a disaster, the ministers and Zou Cheng bewitched the public, bewitched the saints, and asked the emperor to punish him! ”
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Yang's words are a bit excessive!" This time it was Sun Chengzong who stood up, and after the Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded, he said: "Lord Zou is loyal to the country, and his patriotism makes the old minister feel deeply ashamed. However, Lao Chen felt that now was not the time to be held accountable, and that there were people affected by disasters at the moment, and the most important thing was to save the people from fire and water. It is better to hand over the disaster relief to Lord Zou, and repay the heart of the country with Lord Zou's fist, presumably he will be able to properly handle the disaster and prevent any people from dying. ”
The court was suddenly silent, if Yang He was ruthless enough just now, Sun Chengzong directly pushed Zou Cheng to the fire pit. If a common people do not die, how can the earth not die? This is the same as the naked frame-up of the ** naked!
Zou Cheng, who was kneeling on the ground, was trembling all over, for fear that the Emperor of the Apocalypse would send him, but he could only grit his teeth and hold on. There is already news coming from Nanjing, the military reform has begun, if you don't think about it, it will really be too late!
Glancing at Sun Chengzong and Yang He, the Emperor of the Apocalypse knew that this time the matter would definitely not be over, and how bad the impact of Zou Cheng's words would be, the Emperor of the Apocalypse could guess it. But now is not the time to think about this, the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not pay attention to Zou Cheng, but to him: "This disaster relief matter is fully responsible for the Inspector Zuo Governor Yushi Yang He, and all ministries must actively cooperate, if you let me know who is disobedient, you know what the consequences are." Send someone to the southeast and find out where the earth is moving! “
"Listen to the hadith!" Everyone hurriedly replied respectfully, with solemn faces on their faces. The earth movement is happening in the land of Gyeonggi, and if something happens in the capital, it will directly affect the capital, and no one dares to slack off.
"Okay, all Aiqing, let's all go back and prepare! In addition, the grain to Yangzhou should be shipped as soon as possible, and if it is not ready, then half of it will be transported first. Cabinet grasp this matter, don't make any mistakes! The Emperor of the Apocalypse waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go down, and said with a solemn face.
When everyone went out, Wang Chengen spoke: "Your Majesty, that Zou Cheng seems to have some problems, and he always bites about the reform of the military system. ”
Nodding slowly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse naturally saw this, lowered his head and thought about it, and said, "This is just the beginning, look at it!" In a few days, rumors will spread throughout the capital, and then things will be troublesome! You go to the Wei Dynasty and ask him to check this Zou Cheng for me, and find out all three generations of his ancestors for me, I want to see who dares to make such a small move! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, go now!" Wang Chengen respectfully agreed, turned around and strode out. (To be continued.) )
