Chapter 43: I wish the heavens would be vigorous again
Su Wen turned his head to look, only the west side of his house was still lit with candles, Ama and his brother and sister-in-law were all asleep, he went back to the house and pulled out the treasure knife, opened the courtyard door, under the moonlight, but saw that the street was silent, and the figure was nowhere to be seen.

Entering the courtyard, Saihu kept screaming and scurrying around the courtyard irritably.
Su Wen wiped his head and felt even hotter, could this be the weather in Beijing in this world?
"Gurgling," it was like bubbling in the water, this sound was indeed coming from the well, Su Wen felt a pang in his heart, walked to the well, only heard the sound in his ears, but could not see the bottom of the black well.
I didn't sleep all night, got up in the morning, pulled a few stone locks, danced a knife technique, Ama and Eniang got up, and my sister-in-law's breakfast was also bought.
"Amma, has there been an earthquake in the Dajin Dynasty?" He eats fast.
"Earthquake?" Ama looked at Eniang and smiled, "Yes, let's talk about the nearest first, Xuanguang ten years, there was an earthquake in Tancheng, Shandong, and further back, Xuanguang eight years, Shanxi Linfen earthquake, Xuanguang six years, Ningxia Zhongwei, Xuanguang two years, Hebei Shacheng ......"
"Was the weather in Beijing so hot and dry in the past?"
"Okay, right? However, this morning, it is indeed a little hot, it shouldn't be, it wasn't like this in previous years,......"
Su Wen devoured and ate a fritter, "Amma, Eniang, take your sister-in-law and Sanniu to the Temple of Heaven to play today, it's easy there, call Huixian and her Eniang, go green on the May Festival, and go out in time, in addition, let Huixian tell Liu Songren the shopkeeper, be careful of earthquakes these days!" Everyone goes to the courtyard, but less to the house! ”
"Earthquake?" Watching Su Wen walk out, Ama Eniang smiled, "This is Shuntian Mansion, Beijing City!" At the feet of the Son of Heaven, can there still be an earthquake? I see, this is last night's Sandman! ……”
Riding a horse, the street from time to time drifted through the light white mist, the smell is strange, quite like the haze of Beijing in the previous life, smelling this somewhat familiar and unfamiliar smell, Su Wen has some emotion, no matter the past life or the next life, the fog is the hometown is thick, the haze is pure in Beijing!
In front of Xihua Gate, Su Wen saw that Ming Antu had come very early.
He tied his horse and walked over, "Ming Jiaoxi, may I ask, does Qin Tianjian have instruments to monitor earthquakes?" ”
Ming Antu looked at him, "Yes." ”
"Really?" Su Wen was overjoyed, in his previous life, after the earthquake, how many people died, and that fucking department predicted the earthquake level, and put the useless afterthought!
"Well, Qin Tianjian has a Eight Dragons Swing Tail Seismograph, but it can only measure the direction of the earthquake." Ming Antu is not very fluent in Chinese.
"Teach, look." While the two of them walked towards the palace, Su Wen pointed to the clouds in the east, "This is the pork rib cloud, will there be an earthquake?" ”
"The exam is going to be the day after tomorrow," Ming Antu looked at him, "Don't talk nonsense, well, what other basis do you have?" "Su Wen's astronomical calendar is at the forefront of Xian'an Palace, and like him, he is allowed to walk in Mengyangzhai, which is very important to him.
"The weather is hot and dry for unknown reasons, the fog smells unknown, rats crossing the street, and there is a strange sound in the well,......"
"Really?" Ming Antu looked at him seriously, "If there is an earthquake, the emperor will issue an edict again, before the start of school, the Xian'an Palace was on fire, and the emperor has issued an edict of guilt, if it is two consecutive edicts in a year, then ......"
He grabbed Su Wen's arm, "Then we have to report to the president quickly." ”
Today is not Cheng Wenyun on duty, it is not easy to find Cheng Wenyun, Cheng Wenyun heard that the trouble is big, even if he is suspicious, he can't help but report to the top, not to mention that he has also learned Su Wen's unusualness, just asked a few words, seeing that Su Wen said earnestly, the two came to Prince Duan's mansion, after Prince Duan heard it, he couldn't be the master, and took the three of him straight to Changchun Garden.

………………………………………
Changchun Garden, Qingxi Book House.
Emperor Xuanguang slowly paced with his hands in his hands, and the whole hall was silent, only the "click" sound of the bell in the house could be heard.
Prince Zheng Yintang, Duan Prince Hongyi, Prince Kang Jieshu, Prince Li Jiershu, Zhang Fengzao, the first auxiliary minister of the upper study, Oronza, Zhou Zupei, and Sun Shilin of the upper study all sat quietly on the pestle, and Chengjun Wang Yuxiu stood next to the emperor's throne, all of them did not say a word, and looked at Su Wen quietly.
"You, Qi Yuanxie, talk about it." Emperor Xuanguang suddenly turned around and pointed at Qi Yuanxie, the Qintian Supervisor who was standing aside.
Qi Wuxie gave a deep salute, "The minister can't be sure, but only based on the sound of the well and the fog, rats crossing the street, and clouds in the sky to conclude that there is an earthquake, the minister thinks, it is incredible." ”
"Your Majesty, all things in the world have laws to speak of, all have appearances, "Pingkou Jilu" preached, 'Earthquakes must have omens, mud floating is an omen of earthquakes', there are 'six ends' before the earthquake, and also talk about changes in well water, pool water, clouds, temperature, etc., Weichen believes that what Su Wen said is reasonable."
Meng Yangzhai walked and arithmetic master Mei Wending stood on Su Wen's side, and Ming Antu, Jiang Yu and others also nodded yes.
Su Wen stood a little tired, but when he looked at several princes of the council, they were all silent, that is, the prince Hongyi and Wang Yuxiu of Chengjun, who also looked serious at this time and were silent.
"What do you mean?" Emperor Xuanguang set his sights on Zhang Fengzao, the first assistant of the dynasty, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace, and the minister of the upper study, and the auxiliary minister was his character.
Zhang Fengzao stood up, "The old minister listened to it for a while, and secretly thought that he couldn't believe it all, and he couldn't believe it. He coughed lightly, "If there is indeed an earthquake, then it is advisable to prevent it in advance, so as not to rush when the earthquake comes, which is also feasible, but it is not appropriate to widely publicize it and confuse the people, so as to prevent a mob from taking the opportunity to cause chaos, rob shops, and cause trouble......
He was originally a Confucian disciple, and the doctrine of heaven and man induction was deeply rooted. But after many years, Zaisuke has been trained to be thoughtful.
If he had to say the four words of heaven and man induction, then on the day of the earthquake, it was because the emperor was not cultivating his morality and politics, and he was negligent in government affairs...... The emperor is bound to make an edict against himself!
However, if it can indeed be predicted, then it proves that astronomical arithmetic should be vigorously promoted, and now the controversy in the court over the implementation of the arithmetic calendar can be said to be intensifying, which predicts the earthquake, which really adds a lot of bargaining chips to the implementation of new education!
This is what he does not want to see! But he can't stop it openly, he can only say that he can not only protect the emperor's son but also make arrangements in advance, which is also in line with Zaifu's responsibility.
Hongyi looked at him quietly, this is really an old glass egg - eight-sided light!
Emperor Xuanguang smiled and said, "Auxiliary minister, this is the prime minister's words!" He twisted the string of red sandalwood prayer beads in his hand, "I have reigned for eighteen years, and I have been reading the history books, and when I was in power, there were the most earthquakes!" ”
When they heard him say this, they all laughed, and the atmosphere in the temple was immediately relaxed.
"I remember, I once talked to Ming Antu, "Emperor Xuanguang's voice is not loud, but calm and melodious, sonorous and powerful, "all earthquakes, are caused by gas accumulation, earthquakes are deep, although the earthquake is slight but affects the ground is very wide, the earthquake is shallow, although the earthquake is strong but the impact is limited to one place, after the earthquake, the gas has been generated, there is no reason for a major earthquake to occur again, for example, in the northwest region, for decades, every earthquake shakes, but there is no ...... in Jiangsu and Zhejiang."
"Yes, the emperor is right." Su Wen said loudly, and only then did he realize that there was a mistake, this was not Xian'an Palace, but the Qingxi Book House where the emperor lived.
"Shut up." Ji Ershu said, "The emperor's lecture, how can you interject?!" ”
Emperor Xuanguang smiled, he waved his hand lightly, "He's still a child, don't hold him back, there are not so many courtesies today." ”
"I just think that the emperor's talent is unfathomable, the Son of Heaven's martial arts is the first in the world, and the emperor is talking about the relationship between the cause of the earthquake and the depth of the epicenter and the seismic intensity, and said that after the earthquake, there will be no bigger earthquakes, and the distribution of earthquakes is unbalanced, there are many in the northwest region, and there are few in Jiangsu and Zhejiang...... "Su Wen said boldly.
"Hehe," Emperor Xuanguang smiled, "Okay, you are a Su Wen, you are a little official student, you have no grade or rank, you are only sixteen or seventeen years old, you are so bold, you actually praise me!" ”
Although everyone saw that although he said this, they were not angry, and they all laughed with him.
Prince Duan Hongyi and Prince Zheng looked at each other, but they didn't smile.
"Oh, then I am the Son of Heaven, simply, I will reward you with a big face,...... Well, no matter whether there is an earthquake or not, Su Wen is not guilty, so I will read it with Su Wen Yuqing Palace. ”
The king of Chengjun lives in Yuqing Palace, and reading with him is to accompany the prince to read, although it is only a false title, but it is also a glory that readers can't ask for.
Seeing Su Wen, Mei Wending, Jiang Yu and the others retreat, Emperor Xuanguang restrained his smile, "No matter what, we must make a sudden move, plan for a rainy day, and make sure that the people survive the ......."

The quarterly examination was first arranged in the Shuntianfu Gongyuan, and later changed to the front of the Taihe Palace.
On a spring day, the dark blue sky is endless, and a crescent moon hangs in the sky.
A long string of palace lamps from the Donghua Gate enters, rushing forward, each palace lamp is placed next to the square table, the person holding the lamp stands behind the table, gradually, on the Taihe Palace Square, the orange palace lamps evolve into rows, neatly arranged into rows, lamps of lights, dotted around, magnificent.
Around the square, guards stood in rows, standing like nails.
Above His Majesty, I saw four council kings and ministers of the study, four ministers of the study, and Wei Ying, the assistant minister of the Xian'an Palace, and Cheng Wenyun, the head of the internal affairs office, Mingshan, the head of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites, the Han Shangshu Sima Baishan, the Qintian supervisor Qi Yuanxie, the head of the Hanlin Academy, Zhuang Shimin, and the Guozi superintendent Wang Yannian also stood solemnly.
The first session was the Four Books and Five Classics, but by the time it was time, the exam had already been completed.
The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and others were already waiting around the square, and when they saw the students handing in their papers, they immediately brought a steaming breakfast.
The princes and the ministers of the upper study were courteous to each other, but together with all the students, they only ate at His Majesty.
Su Wen looked at the wooden tray on the table in front of him, there were green beans and millet porridge, shredded mustard greens, bad goose paws, shallots and tofu dices, as well as two flower rolls and a cup of tea, but the tea was used to gargle.
The whole square can be heard of needles falling, whether it is Xian'an Palace or Guozijian The students are busy eating, Su Wen is not left, seeing that Ma Leji has already finished eating, and is making faces with Hai Lanzhu.
The second scene is poetry.
Su Wen looked at the east, and the white of the fish belly was exposed, and under the reflection of the morning glow, the fish scale cloud was very strange.
The location of the quarterly examination was changed from the Gongyuan to the Taihedian Square, and he was keenly aware that the emperor had listened to his opinion.
Thinking of the earthquake that was about to happen at any time, and then thinking about the difficulty of promoting reform, Duanwang went around the network of arithmetic astronomical calendar talents, he suddenly remembered a poem, he looked at the other students, some raised their heads to meditate, some frowned, he picked up the pen and wrote calmly.
"Kyushu is angry and thunderous, and thousands of horses are roaring together. I hope that God will be vigorous again and reduce talents without sticking to one pattern. ”
