"If there is something to do, it will be played early, and there will be nothing to retreat." With the shouting of the confessor, the hundred officials and ministers in the Deyang Hall began another great court meeting.

Recently, natural disasters have continued in various states and counties, and the Son of Heaven has held a great court meeting every three or five days, and the officials have become accustomed to it.

Liu Hong, the son of heaven, sat on the dragon chair with a haggard face, compared to the high spirits when he first came to the Canadian dollar suit, he now has frequent insomnia.

He did not expect that there would be so many natural disasters in recent months, such as earthquakes, solar eclipses, pandemics, and so on.

Every time he heard the advice of the officials, his heart trembled. After the next dynasty, he frequently went to the ancestral ancestral hall to think, which made him exhausted and had no appetite for food.

"Am I really not fit to be an emperor?" Liu Hong looked at the ministers below and thought secretly in his heart.

The Son of Heaven is in a bad mood, and the ministers can naturally feel it, but their lives are not easy now. When there was a solar eclipse, the Taiwei heard that people were attacked, and the servant Li Xian was the Taiwei.

The outbreak of the epidemic, Situ Xu was exempted, Sikong Qiaoxuan was Situ, and too often came to Yan as Sikong. The three princes have all changed, and it is conceivable that they will end up with hundreds of officials and ministers.

Many people have been removed from their positions as a result, and the remaining people have to think about countermeasures every day. Due to the many decrees issued by the imperial court, the ministers were not allowed to be idle even during the rest time once every five days.

If you want to be the most depressed person, it must be Taiwei Li Xian. In the past, when he was a servant, he only needed to take charge of the emperor's horse and horse administration, and he didn't need too much pressure.

Fortunately, since he became a lieutenant, there has been a large-scale epidemic. This also led to him being often named by the Son of Heaven to ask for countermeasures, and there was a great risk that he would be deposed at any time.

What made him even more troublesome was that yesterday the Taishou of Hedong County said that the ground in Hedong was cracked, rain and hail, and mountains and rivers burst out, causing panic in people's hearts.

However, Taiwei Li Xian knew that the Son of Heaven was in a bad mood now, and he didn't like to hear about natural disasters the most, but he had to open his mouth and say: "Your Majesty, Cao Shao, the Taishou of Hedong County, has written that the ground in Hedong is cracked in 12 places, and the crack is ten miles and one hundred and seventy steps long, and the wide one is more than 30 steps, and it is bottomless. As soon as his words spoke, there were all kinds of discussions in the Deyang Palace.

"Why is it a crack in the east of the river?"

"Yes, the land fell during the time of Emperor An, and it is said that I don't know how many houses were destroyed, and I don't know how many people suffered this time."

"Alas, this Hedong region is really full of disasters, not only landslides and ground cracks, but also often harassed by the Hu people." …… Wu Yong stood at the bottom of the throne of the Son of Heaven, and when he heard these discussions, his mind was also racing rapidly.

The driving force of ground fissures is the energy of the earth's interior, and fundamentally speaking, ground fissures and geological disasters such as earthquakes are the same, but they are manifested in diametrically opposite forms, but the hazards are similar.

Hedong, Hanoi, Henan Gongwei Luoyang, known as

"Three Rivers". Hedong is the southern part of Shanxi in later generations. Although it belonged to the Sili School Captain Department in the Han and Wei dynasties, it is actually located in the northernmost part of Sizhou, bordering Shangdang and Xihe in Bingzhou.

Hedong is adjacent to Bingzhou, and Bingzhou is also the cantonment area of the Xiongnu and Tuge. Therefore, Hedong is impregnated with Hu Feng, folk customs are still martial, and many famous generals have contributed to the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty.

Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Yang Feng, Wuqiu Jian and others were all born in Hedong. in order to

Dong Zhuo, who is famous for his "talent and martial arts", also served as the Taishou of Hedong. In some historical records of later generations, the Hedong region has two major characteristics.

One is that there are many geological disasters, and the other is that they are mostly invaded by the Hu people. The reasons for the many geological disasters in the Hedong area have been pointed out by later scholars.

Shanxi is located in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, with Taihang Mountain in the east and the Yellow River in the southwest.

Hereafter it will be called

"Fenwei Seismic Zone". At this time, Hedong happened to be located on the earthquake zone. In the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, geological disasters in the Hedong region are extremely frequent.

"Landslide",

Records such as "subsidence" can be seen. In such a harsh environment, natural disasters occur frequently in the Hedong region.

But this is not the most troublesome to the people, in the autumn and winter, the invasion of the Hu people is the most fatal.

Since the Guangwu era of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu have repeatedly entered the east of the Kou River and plundered the people. Because the east of the river is bordered by the southern part of the state and is surrounded by the Shangdang and Xihe rivers at the same time, it is close to the Hu people.

As we all know, during the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin dynasties, Bingzhou was the base camp for the placement of the Southern Xiongnu. Since Dou Xian

After "Yan Ran Leming", the Northern Xiongnu collapsed, and the Southern Xiongnu gradually attached to the Han Dynasty. At this time, the Southern Xiongnu did not fully sinicize, and still maintained the old tribal system.

Han Ting, on the other hand, said

"And the history of the state thorn" with

"Protecting the Huns" will be monitored and guarded against closely. After the Xiongnu descended to the Han Dynasty, Xianbei rose, and the Southern Xiongnu gradually declined, but the power was still there, and they repeatedly carried out armed activities with the state as the base camp and invaded the surrounding counties.

In the Hedong region, it was repeatedly sacked by the Huns. This is a common problem of nomadic people, who cannot grow crops like the Han people, and begin to face food shortages in winter.

But now they are attached to the Han Dynasty, and the court is also turning a blind eye. In addition to the Xiongnu, the Qiang people also raided Hedong.

"Xian Lingqiang" was active in the Qinghai area of the later generations in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, and in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he moved to live in Tianshui, Longxi and Fufeng.

At this time, the Qiang people lived in Guanzhong, and the path to entry was undoubtedly there

"From west to east", with the Huns

"From north to south" is different. In addition to the Southern Xiongnu and Qianghu, there were other Tu Ge in the state, and they often harassed the people of Hedong.

Tu Ge is called by various historical sources

"Xiongnu species", the distribution is relatively wide, scattered and mixed in Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Hebei region, according to the research of later generations of scholars, there are about eight kinds.

The name of Tu Ge comes from the Hun Hugh Tu Wang. In the process of migration, appeared

"Hugh Tu Ge",

"Rest",

Titles such as "Hugh slaughtering" were eventually simplified to

"Tugo". One said that Tu was mixed with Xianbei,

"Dugu Clan" is the voice of Tu Ge. Tu Ge appears several times in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms and in the citations.

For example, in Dong Zhuo's army, there are Xiongnu and Tu tribes, which correspond to his status as a state pastor.

Thinking of this, Wu Yong couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "The people in the Hedong region are really full of disasters and difficulties!" Of course, in the context of living with a large number of Hu people, the people of Hedong County were inevitably impregnated with Hu Feng, so they cultivated

The custom of "martial and warlike". There is no shortage of brave men who guard the east of the river, especially in troubled times. Such as Ji Bu in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo and Guo Yuan in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, successively served as the Taishou of Hedong.

Ding Yuan will be the deceased

"Wu Meng" Zhang Yang also once controlled Hedong Anyi, and he also greeted the Son of Heaven here. Han Feizi Youyun: Confucianism uses literature to mess with the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban.

Therefore, the Hedong area has also become one of the base camps for accepting outlaws and cultivating strong men. For example, Feng Yan in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty was originally from Jingzhao, but after being defeated by Red Eyebrows, he was

"Death to the east of the river". In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, many warriors emerged in the Hedong region, and they shined on the stage of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty.

warriors such as Yang Feng and Hu Cai; Guan Yu, Xu Huang and other famous generals; Jia Kui, Pei Qian, Wuqiu Jian and other soldiers are all from Hedong, and it is no accident.

"Silence!" The confessor shouted, waking up Wu Yong who was in deep thought, and also making the Deyang Hall quiet.

Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, sat on top expressionlessly, and pondered for a long time before he spoke: "What do you think should be done with this matter?" At this time, Situ Qiaoxuan came out and bowed: "Your Majesty, as today's disasters continue, the people have suffered huge losses, and the court should focus on the people." Then, he continued: "Since the beginning of spring this year, the old minister has been thinking hard about implementing the policy of immigration at the border gates, but with little effect, because the people are unable to leave their homeland! This subsidence incident can make the people who have lost their land move to the border area, and all the expenses will be paid by the imperial court. Without waiting for the others to speak, Taiwei Li Xian spoke again: "Don't worry, Lord Situ, my words haven't been finished just now. As he spoke, he took out a secret letter from his bosom and said to Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty, this is a letter that Lao Chen received late yesterday night, which said that there is not only land subsidence in Hedong, but also heavy rain accompanied by hail, which has caused mountains and rivers to burst out in many places, and the houses and fields of the people have been seriously damaged. Then, he sighed and said: "Now the shadow puppet show "Dou E's Injustice" is widely circulated, and there will be grievances when the snow flies in June!" It has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Now that the sky is hailing in May, Lao Chen is worried that there will be traitors who will incite the people to make trouble. Sikong Laiyan also came out and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Taiwei is very right! Now that disasters are continuous, we should issue an edict in time to reassure the people! The three princes are all out of the ranks, and the officials naturally follow suit, and they bow to Liu Hong, the son of heaven, together: "Please Your Majesty issue an edict to calm the hearts of the people!" Seeing this scene, Wu Yong couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "This Hedong region is really full of disasters, and disasters that are rare in a thousand years can also occur!" At the same time, he knew in his heart that hail was a solid precipitation that, like rain and snow, fell from the clouds.

It is a hard spherical, cone-shaped or irregular solid precipitation that falls to the ground from a developing strong cumulonimbus cloud, as the masses in different places call it

"Hailstone"

"Ice Egg"

"Leng Zi" and so on. Later studies have proved that hail in summer is normal, and only two conditions need to be met: first, sufficient water vapor; The second is strong convective air.

In the summer, it is very hot near the ground, but it is still very cold at high altitude. When encountering strong convective air, the moist air near the ground rises rapidly to the high altitude with the convection, condenses into Xiaoice crystals at the high altitude, and when the Xiaoice crystals fall, they continue to merge some small water droplets with low temperature, and the ice crystals slowly become larger and form ice particles.

The ice particles are rolling in the air like a ball of dung, getting bigger and heavier. When it is heavy enough, the updraft can no longer support it, and it begins to fall, and it will fall to the ground as hail.

In fact, the phenomenon of hail this summer is mostly related to the Xiaoice period. Several major upheavals in ancient Chinese history were related to the Xiaoice period, which directly destroyed four dynasties and was not entirely caused by the failure of the official rule.

From the end of the Yin Shang dynasty to the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty was the first Xiaoice River period, the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, and the Western Jin Dynasty was the second Xiaoice River period, the late Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties, and the early Northern Song Dynasty were the third Xiaoice River period, and the late Ming and early Qing dynasties were the fourth Xiaoice River period.

Decades of natural disasters, coupled with man-made disasters, hastened the demise of the dynasty. Thinking of this, Wu Yong remembered that the twenty-first century when he crossed was also in the Xiaoice River period, and there were also various disasters, and I don't know what happened later.

You know, every time in history during the Xiaoice period, there were constant wars and a sharp decline in population. Just when Wu Yong was thinking wildly, Liu Hong, the son of heaven, spoke.

"That being the case, write it down left and right, and the edict: My regent is missing, the disaster is still in the middle, the three lights are unknown, and the yin and yang are out of order. The prison sighed, and the scab was like a disease. Now the east of the river is cracked, the rain and hail, the mountains and rivers burst out, the dead are pillowing each other, the counties and counties are strange, there are everywhere, and it is very contrary to the righteousness of Zhou Wen's cover-up. Those who have family members and are poor and have no burial will be given three thousand people and three horses of cloth for the mourner; If there are no relatives, they can be buried in the official place, and the name can be identified, and the ancestral sacrifice can be set up. and migrated to the ministry of work, disease caused medicine, and death was buried thickly. The people have people who cannot self-vibrate and migrate, and the valley is like a family. The state and county prosecutors are gracious and gracious to benefit our people. After speaking, Liu Hong thought of something again, and continued: "Compared with the mausoleum, the season lasts, the force is extensive, and the apprenticeship is especially diligent. The rain is not wet, and the dense clouds are dispersed, if it is here. He ordered the sentences of those who were convicted of mausoleums to be reduced by six months each. The prisoners of the Zhaojun State Department have their capital crimes reduced to one degree, and they should not be flogged. If you are only planning to rebel against the great rebellion, you don't need this book. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" The ministers bowed. Wu Yong was also shocked in his heart, the court will amnesty the world when it encounters happy events, and it will also give amnesty to the world in case of natural disasters.

How to say it, at this time, the people, as long as they did not commit the major crime of rebellion, basically committed a crime and were locked up, or it would not be long before they encountered an amnesty from the imperial court and were sent home by the government.
