Zhu Gaochi was in a hurry, the north was too big, they could only watch while walking, and the earthquake last night still made him palpitate.

At this time, I heard that the people along the way said that there was a big earthquake in the north, and the few small yellow gates that followed Zhu Gaochi were already trembling at this moment: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't go, don't go." ”

"That's your business." Zhu Gaochi glanced at several small yellow doors in his palace.

"If you don't want to go, you can go back! Don't fool the army here! Cheng Yuan's eyes showed undoubted firmness, and said:

"If we take the money, we should do our due duty to the court, and our town and country should also do our duty, in fact, there will be no big deal, the earth will always pass, you just listen to my orders."

Cheng Yuan also stopped appeasing a few little yellow doors, and hurried to the official road in the north after speaking, he brought Kuang Yu this time, and a few students from Zhenguo Academy did not bring it, and it was still a burden to bring it.

The inexplicable earthquake that night caused panic in the Ming court, and people were panicked.

Zhu Neng and Zhu Gaochi were both convinced of Cheng Yuan in their hearts, and everyone followed Cheng Yuan, and in the team, it seemed that this Zhenguo Gong was their protector.

All the guards and disaster relief officials, and the grain team all looked at Cheng Yuan at the front, and Cheng Yuan also looked at them, he thought for a while and said:

"I want to speed up the journey, the grain team will follow the guards to go slower, and I and Cheng Guogong will speed up the journey overnight, and I will also take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with me.

You're coming with hoes, food, and so on, and we can't miss the best time to do it, you know. ”

Cheng Yuan said, with a rope in his hand, looked at them and said, "If you don't want to go, you can go back, because if you go early, once the ground movement starts, it is likely that there will be many aftershocks, and you may lose your life."

If you are willing to go, keep going. If you don't want to go, you won't blame you, just go back the way you came. ”

Cheng Yuan's words were very clear, and the faces of the soldiers and guards around him changed.

There are aftershocks after the ground shakes...... And it is very likely to die, and the fact that everyone is unwilling to face in their hearts is ruthlessly exposed, and it seems that the further north you go, the more serious the damage caused by ground movement.

However, the prefectures are already preparing for disaster relief, and they are all mild disasters, and the prefectures and counties that do not know the source of the earthquake are doing now.

The tremor in the north was felt more intensely, and now that they were told that they would die, everyone was in a bad mood in an instant.

Someone turned blue.

Li Gan, as Zhu Gaochi's East Palace guard, naturally wanted to follow, and he said: "The principle that a gentleman does not stand under the wall will never change. ”

"Li Gan, if you don't want to go, you can take these people back. I'm not going to say anything in front of Your Majesty.

After all, I decided to go like this, and my father also made many choices between the ground movement and his life, after all, every ground movement is dangerous.

And once a natural disaster comes, how can anyone withstand it, after all, we are all ordinary people.

Actually, it's not just you, why am I not afraid? Chengguo has a wife and children, and I Chengyuan also has it, mortals can't resist natural disasters, but they can do their best. ”

Cheng Yuan turned over and got on the horse, Kuang Yu took off the burden from the carriage and hung it on the saddle, and only said, "Master, I am determined to go with you." ”

Simple.

Although it takes some courage to make such a decision, once it is done, I feel so relaxed in my heart. ”

Those who were willing to leave ahead of time stood up.

People always have the mentality of going with the flow, and it seems that they are different from other people, which is wrong, but the people in the crowd are willing to continue walking.

Others were afraid to die, but they didn't want to offend the prince and the prince, so they had to write hard.

Some are in other moods.

In the end, most of the people were silent and carried their burdens, and chose to follow Cheng Yuan and them into the disaster area in advance.

Cheng Yuan said: "There is no need for anyone to be reluctant, and the decision to go separately is completely to take risks in advance." Therefore, people who are unwilling will not go to great lengths to save people, and they will be indiscriminate when they go. ”

"If you want to write a letter to your family, you can write it now, go to the post station in front, put the letter in the box, and send it to the Guogong Mansion, and the Guogong Mansion will help everyone give it out safely."

Kuang Yu took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, hurriedly wrote out his prescription, and said to the person next to him: "I have a pen, ink, paper and inkstone here, and I need to get it." ”

Gu Yu

Everyone began to write letters, and Cheng Guogong Zhu Neng thought about it, walked up to Cheng Yuan and asked: "You and I came out of life and death together, to be honest, will people die if the earth moves?" ”

"Yes, the rescuer will also die, so Chengguo Gong still writes a letter to Chengguo Duchess and Xiao Guogong." Cheng Yuan persuaded Zhu Neng.

In Cheng Yuan's heart, whether it is a flood, a locust plague, a drought, an earthquake, or a plague, there will always be people who die or live.

But no one knows what the next moment will be.

It's better to arrange the things that can be thought of in front of you.

Kuang Yu wrote down the prescription he could write down.

One side said: "Everyone will be alive." ”

Cheng Yuan arranged for someone to go to the place in front of him to inquire about the ground movement, so that he could judge the location.

On the way, when the people talked about the earthquake, they were so frightened that their faces were like earth, saying that the mountain had collapsed and the ground had cracked, and they kindly stopped them, saying that this was the anger of the king of Yama, and the anger of the gods, and he wanted to punish the people.

A blind mother-in-law also dragged them and told them not to go north.

"Kuang Yu, don't go." Cheng Yuan thought about it and said: "Your medical skills can save many people, it's a pity to go." ”

Kuang Yu glared at Cheng Yuan angrily and said, "Master, I have to go!" ”

"Go ahead, I'm just reminding you." Cheng Yuan Ren Zhen said.

Kuang Yu's face softened at this time, but he hesitated for a moment, pursed his lips and said, "Master." ”

"Hmm." Cheng Yuan answered.

This time, the blessings and disasters are unpredictable, but Cheng Yuan can't control anything, he glanced at Zhu Gaochi, who was writing a letter there, and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you don't need to write." ”

Zhu Gaochi looked puzzled.

"Because, the minister will not let the prince have an accident, even if there is only one person alive, it can only be His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"We'll be back safe." Zhu Neng looked at Cheng Yuan and Zhu Gaochi, and shouted, "Everyone has to go back." ”

He who traveled lightly, carrying only dry rations, ropes, water bladders, and hoes, came out with his horses, and stood there.

Li Qian looked at Cheng Yuan with a complicated expression, he wanted to cry a little, and said, "Zhen Guogong, don't you write a letter to your family." ”

"Then you write." Cheng Yuan Dao.

Li Qian said that he had no relatives, and the only person he was familiar with was Zhu Gaochi, so he didn't know who to write to.

"You can write to His Highness An Cheng." Cheng Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's not like not writing, at least it can prove that there is a character like you in the Ming Dynasty many years later." Even if it won't be recorded in the history books. ”

Li Qian looked at Cheng Yuan in surprise, didn't he avoid suspicion.

"This? Grandpa Guo, you? ”

"It's okay, you can write." Cheng Yuan put the other people's letters in a box.

Kuang Yu said: "Don't worry about writing, Your Highness won't take a fancy to you anyway." ”

Li Qian was about to nod gratefully, but when he heard the second half of Kuang Yu's words, his face darkened.

Zhu Neng wrote a letter and came over, saw Cheng Yuan standing there, and said, "Why don't you write." ”

Cheng Yuan said: "Anyway, I won't write this letter to them, because I will definitely go back, and I will take you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back intact." ”

Zhu Neng thought that Zhu Gaochi should not be brought here, after all, it was very inappropriate, but Cheng Yuan felt that the crown prince was not the emperor.

The emperor's personal condolences are also a good way to gather and encourage the people.
