Night.

Liu Wei hugged Tang Ji and slept soundly.

In a daze, he felt that the bed trembled a little, but he ignored it, frowned, and continued to sleep.

But the bed's tremor continued to increase, and soon turned into a tremor.

Liu Wei woke up violently, looked at the shaking curtain, picked up Tang Ji violently, strode out, and shouted at the same time: "Earthquake! Earthquake! ”

When Liu Wei ran outside the door, Pan Yin ran over in a panic and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you okay?" ”

Liu Wei put Tang Ji down, felt the tremor of the ground, the trees and walls not far away, his expression was solemn, and he said: "Spread the decree, order everyone to go out of the house, hide in an open place, and not under the eaves!" sent an edict to Zhao Yun and ordered him to take people to protect the officials. The Luoyang order was issued to immediately do a good job in the treatment and pacification of the people. Dian Wei, you sent someone to take your grandmother, the King of Bohai, to Yongle Palace. Now, escort me to Yongle Palace. ”

A group of people responded in a panic, surrounded Liu Wei, and walked towards Yongle Palace.

Although the tremor was not violent, everyone was still worried, away from the wall, and walked briskly towards the Yongle Palace.

There was a big chaos in the palace, although Pan Yin and the others tried their best to appease, but in the trembling ground, the chamberlains and palace maids still shouted in fear, rushing to run around, and even fires appeared in many places, as if they were on fire.

This is even more true outside the palace, the entire Luoyang County seems to have been turned upside down, and countless people are panicked and bumping like headless flies.

Under the earthquake, there is no high or low!

When Liu Wei arrived at Yongle Palace, Empress Dowager He rushed out with her hair scattered, clasped her arms with both hands, and said in horror: "Bian'er, Bao'er, are you okay?" ”

Liu Wei hurriedly held her hands and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the queen mother, I'm here, it's okay." ”

Empress Dowager He calmed down a little at this time, still holding Liu Bian's arm with one hand, and looked around in shock.

The tremor of the ground was slowly weakening, and there were tiles on the roofs and walls, and the masonry was falling, making a heart-pounding sound.

Liu Wei led a large group of people to stand in the open space in the courtyard, holding his composure and waiting quietly.

He still can't tell whether Luoyang is the epicenter of the earthquake or if it is affected by aftershocks.

Everyone was not calm, worried and frightened, and surrounded Liu Wei.

This is not the first time that Luoyang City has been earthquaked, and every earthquake has killed and injured countless people.

Not long after, Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie were also escorted by the forbidden army, and Empress Dowager Dong followed closely behind Liu Xie, with a frightened expression.

Liu Xie's face was tense, and his eyes were full of fear.

Liu Wei looked at them and said with a smile: "Grandmother, imperial brother, don't worry, it's not a big earthquake." ”

The two nodded reluctantly, their faces stiffened, unable to speak.

Empress Dowager He didn't have time to go toe-to-toe with Empress Dowager Dong, pulling Liu Bian's arm, her face pale.

I don't know how long it took, Pan Yin took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it seems to have stopped." ”

Liu Wei felt the stability under his feet, stared around, nodded and said, "Don't move, wait." ”

Pan Yin and the others understood, standing still.

Earthquakes don't just stop, and they can backhand at any time.

After a long while, Liu Wei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with a smile: "It should be an aftershock, it's okay." Grandmother, queen mother, and royal brother don't have to worry, go over there and sit for a while and take a rest. ”

Everyone nodded reluctantly and walked to the pavilion.

Liu Wei looked at them, turned back to Pan Yin and whispered: "Spread Yang Biao, Wang Yun, Dong Zhuo, Liu Cao Shangshu, Jiuqing and others to enter the palace." Spread the Luoyang order and ordered him to do a good job in the aftermath and pacification of the people in Luoyang City. Also, find out exactly where the earthquake was. ”

"Yes." Pan Yin's face didn't dare to relax, and his eyes bowed back uneasily.

Liu Wei turned his head and looked, and the palace attendants and maids in the palace were already hurriedly starting to put out the fire and clean up everywhere.

He took a deep breath, rubbed his cheeks, smiled and walked to the pavilion, comforting Empress Dowager Dong, Empress Dowager He, Liu Xie, Tang Ji and others.

The crowd nodded reluctantly, stunned, and did not have the strength to speak.

The palace maid brought hot tea and poured it for a few people.

Empress Dowager Dong, Empress Dowager He, Liu Xie, and Tang Ji picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, only then did they look soothed, as if they were in a trance of coming to life.

Empress Dowager He calmed down for a while, glanced at Empress Dowager Dong, stretched out her hand to pull Liu Bian, a smile appeared, and said: "It's still Bian'er, I rushed to save my mother as soon as possible, and my mother didn't hurt you in vain." ”

Empress Dowager Dong didn't speak, her face was stiff, and she glanced at Liu Wei lightly.

Although he was extremely dissatisfied with Empress Dowager He and Liu Bian, who was born to Empress Dowager He, and was even full of hatred, Liu Bian was somewhat relieved to think of him this time.

Liu Xie sat there quietly, with a small face, and he couldn't understand this imperial brother.

Tang Ji was very happy, pursed her lips, and looked at Liu Wei with her eyes like water, because she was carried by Liu Wei and escaped.

After a while, Pan Yin stepped up in small steps and whispered behind Liu Wei: "Your Majesty, the courtiers have all arrived at the Jiade Palace." ”

Liu Wei nodded, took a sip of tea, and said to the Empress Dowager Dong, Empress Dowager He and others: "Grandmother, Empress Mother, I still want to appease the courtiers......"

Without waiting for Liu Wei to finish speaking, Empress Dowager He hurriedly said: "Go, you're busy, just leave it to the queen mother here." ”

Liu Wei looked at the Empress Dowager He and wanted to remind her, but after thinking about it, he forgot it, and turned around and went to the Jiade Palace.

Empress Dowager He looked at Liu Wei's back, picked up the teacup, drank tea elegantly, and glanced at Empress Dowager Dong, her eyes were full of smug sneers.

Empress Dowager Dong ignored her at all.

When Liu Wei arrived at the Jiade Hall, he saw that the hall was full of nearly twenty people.

These twenty people, none of them relaxed, all of them condensed, and whispered together in twos and threes.

"Your Majesty, Ministers." When Liu Wei came in, he immediately closed his voice, and raised his hands in unison and bowed.

After Liu Wei sat down, he said with a smile: "Your family is exempt from courtesy. ”

The group of people stood up and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Liu Wei looked at his expression and said, "Your Qing family is also scared? ”

Seeing Liu Wei so calm, more than ten people felt less nervous in their hearts, and Xun Yu couldn't wait to raise his hand and said: "Your Majesty, with the observation of the ministers, I am afraid that this earthquake is coming from Sanfu." ”

Liu Wei's smile slowly retracted, and said, "Can the Qing family be sure?" ”

Everyone else also looked at Xun You, and their expressions changed again.

Xun You groaned a little and said, "Nine times out of ten." ”

Liu Wei nodded silently, his eyes thoughtful.

This is not the first time that an earthquake has occurred. The key is that Sanfu not only had an earthquake and a serious disaster, but the invasion of the Qiang people a few years ago also shattered the land of Sanfu.

The number of people who fled from the land of Sanfu is as high as hundreds of thousands!

In this earthquake, disaster relief still needs a lot of money and food!

Liu Wei looked around at the expressions of the courtiers in the hall and said, "What do you think?" ”

The crowd lowered their heads, and no one spoke. Everyone knows the difficulties of the imperial court, but the methods that can raise money have been almost exhausted from ten years ago to the present.

Liu Wei nodded expressionlessly, and said: "There must be a pot of porridge outside, you guys go to appease, I will find a way to deal with money and food." Except for Xun Qing's family, everyone else should go. ”

When the courtiers saw that Liu Wei was so easy to speak, many of them showed guilt, and they stopped talking, but they still raised their hands and said, "The ministers are retiring." ”

When everyone left, Xun You stood up, stepped forward and stood not far from Liu Wei, bowed down, and pondered: "Your Majesty, Ding Yuan, Cao Cao has captured a lot in Yanzhou, or it may be able to make up for one or two. ”

"It's not enough for Yanzhou relief."

Liu Wei directly vetoed it, and then said in a deep voice: "I, I plan to set up a money bank. ”

Xun You thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to use it to collect taxes such as tea and salt?" ”

The so-called treasury of the Han Dynasty was itself a kind of tax collection agency of the local county or government.

Liu Wei pondered carefully and said, "No." In short, it is to use the imperial court as a guarantee, deposit a certain principal, assume the responsibility of reserves, the rich people deposit the money, and the money bank pays a certain amount of interest according to the time agreement. ”

Xun You was stunned and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to borrow money from the family?" ”

Liu Wei was still thinking about the feasibility and gains and losses, and said: "It can't be understood in this way. When the money is received, it can be lent out, or it can be exchanged across states and counties, or mortgaged or pawned, and earns a certain amount of interest......"

Xun You is an extremely smart person, he quickly understood, followed the thought, and said: "Your Majesty, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the big families and ordinary people have had a lot of uneasiness, if the court is used as a guarantee, it may be of great use!" ”

Bandits are rampant in various places, and even the big clans of Yingchuan have to flee, which can be seen in other places! With the guarantee of the imperial court, too many people will be eager to deposit their money in the bank!

Liu Wei was still thinking about the complexity and possible consequences, and said secretly: "I still have to take care of it, so as not to go crooked." ”

Liu Wei thought about it again and again, looked at Xun Yu with a deep face, and said: "With Taicang as a guarantee, Shangshutai stepped forward to endorse, and the Qing family concurrently served as Taicang Order, draw up detailed rules as soon as possible, select manpower, and carefully train, take Luoyang as the center, first lay the surrounding counties, and the important ministers of the court should come forward to guide and encourage the big families to save money!" ”

Xun You didn't expect Liu Wei to have such a whimsical idea, maybe he could solve the urgent need of the imperial court, and solemnly raised his hand and said: "The minister's decree!" ”

Liu Wei got up and said, "Without further ado, the Qing family should hurry up and prepare." As for Sanfu's disaster relief, I have 30,000 gold and 600,000 silver in my central government, and the Qing family sells them to help the victims of Sanfu. ”

Xun You's expression changed immediately, his heart shook, he wanted to refuse, hesitated a few times, his eyes were firm, and said: "Your Majesty, these are borrowed from Your Majesty's Central Government by the imperial court, and they will be returned in full in the future!" ”

He remembered the first emperor, the emperor who was extremely greedy for money, for the sake of money, he did everything he could, and even took the lead in openly selling his official beard, in exchange for today, can he take out the money to help the victims?

The answer is yes.

Liu Wei waved his hand and said, "The land of the three auxiliaries will be exempted from taxes for another five years." Pan Yin, sent an edict to the Imperial Historical Observatory, Xing Cao, and ordered them to take turns to inspect the land of Sanfu to arrest corrupt officials and corrupt officials, who dares to use their hands and feet on disaster relief money and food, regardless of dignity and inferiority, first cut and then play! ”

Listening to Liu Wei's murderous words, Xun You's heart sank, and he raised his hand and said, "The minister obeys the will!" ”

"The villain leads the way." Pan Yin said.

Liu Wei looked at Xun Yu and said, "In the name of Shang Shutai, I ordered the state to receive disaster victims from the land of Sanfu, and how much can it receive." ”

"Commandment." Xun Yu Dao.

Liu Wei snorted, got up and said: "Pass the decree, the imperial court will be diligent and thrifty from now on, and the amount used in the palace will be cut by half." ”

Xun You looked at Liu Wei, his heart shook very much, and his eyes were faintly astringent.

The young majesty in front of him is diligent, generous, loving the people, wise, decisive, not greedy for money, not lustful, and has no vices, which is very different from the previous generations of emperors!

'The Holy Monarch is alive! Xun You's heart was uncontrollable, and he couldn't help but slowly kneel on the ground, silently bowing to the ground.

Liu Wei was still thinking about Qianzhuang, and when he saw Xun You suddenly kneeling, he couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "What's going on?" ”

Xun You woke up and hurriedly said: "There is nothing else, minister, minister retire." ”

Liu Wei watched Xun You go out with a strange expression, and immediately gathered his mind, and suddenly said, "Zhao Yun! ”

Zhao Yun was dressed in silver armor, came out of the side door, and said in an unusually crisp voice: "The minister is here!" ”

Liu Wei thought about it again and again, looked at him, and said, "You take a thousand forbidden troops and escort the King of Bohai to the land of Sanfu to inspect the disaster on my behalf." Remember, go intact, go back intact! ”

Zhao Yun raised his hand and said, "The minister's order!" ”

Liu Wei nodded and exhaled lightly, his expression not so nervous and flustered.

Although it was a sudden natural disaster, it was generally manageable.

Liu Wei looked at the gradually brightening sky outside the palace gate and said, "Change into civilian clothes and leave the palace." ”

Pan Yin responded and greeted Dian Wei.

Dian Wei nodded heavily, dispatched people, changed into civilian clothes, and escorted Liu Wei out of the palace.

Liu argued out of the Suzaku Gate, sat in the carriage, opened the curtains, and looked at both sides of the road.

"It's not as chaotic as I expected......"

Liu Wei looked at it for a while, and said softly to himself with a slightly soothing face.

There was no panic, the people were returning home one after another, there were not many people on the streets, except for a few fires, which were still being put out, everything was quite stable.

"The court is unfair, and the hearts of the people are contrary; If you don't cultivate morality, God warns! ”

Suddenly, there was a person who looked like a Taoist priest, pretending to walk out of the alley not far away, shouting in a low voice and a long voice.

He was followed by a group of children, noisily chasing and shouting.

Liu Wei turned his head sideways and looked at this Taoist priest quietly, the sky was not bright enough to see the face clearly.

"The current emperor, since his accession to the throne, has acted in a rebellious manner that has made the world miserable. Slaughtering the faithful, hurting the people, and wasting the world......"

"God warns that the nation is in danger because of one man's fault!"

"The moon will rise, and the sun will dip; The king of the opposite sex is really dead in the Han Kingdom! ”

As he walked, the Taoist priest sang and shouted.

"Bold!"

A group of Luoyang County officials rushed over and scolded: "Dare to slander the emperor, you don't want to live?" ”

The Taoist priest smiled and said, "You said that I slandered the emperor, which sentence are you talking about?" ”

The leading officer was stunned by him, and he couldn't repeat it.

But a young officer behind him said loudly: "The current emperor, since he ascended the throne, has acted rebelliously and made the world miserable. Slaughtering the loyal and good, hurting the people, and wasting the world. You're going to be nine years old! ”

The Taoist priest looked calm, shook his head and said, "If you don't read, you don't know history." This is the words of Emperor Sejong, is it that I made it up? ”

The officers were stunned, they didn't know whether it was true or not, but they couldn't think of other words, they looked at each other, and they didn't know how to help.

When the Taoist priest saw this, he smiled brightly and said, "These words of mine have a source, not my slander." ”

Pan Yin's expression was ugly, he walked into Liu Wei's carriage, lowered his head, and said, "Your Majesty, do you need to be dealt with by villains?" ”

Liu Wei sat in the carriage, his face was as usual, and said, "Let's take a look." ”

Pan Yin stepped back and turned his head to look at the place, his eyes indifferent.

The officers were a little misguided and whispered.

"Catch it, you can't let him continue to talk nonsense!"

"He's so bold to shout in the streets, and looking at the clothes he's wearing, I don't know which high family he came from, don't ask for trouble."

"You can't leave it alone, right? It is difficult to explain the above. ”

"So, drive him away?"

"Okay, get rid of it!"

Without waiting for the messenger to make a move, the Taoist priest said with a smile: "If you drive me away, it will damage the holy virtue, and your county order will be very difficult to do." ”

"What's so hard to do!?"

Wang Lang was not far away, with a large number of people, striding over.

The Taoist priest looked at Wang Lang, smiled undiminishedly, and said, "Wang Jingxing." ”

Wang Lang snorted coldly and said, "Where there is a disaster, there must be rumors. Evil people, wanton falsehood! Come on, grab it! ”

The Taoist priest was not in a hurry, and said: "Wang County Order, you are also a person who reads poetry and books, I don't know what the villain said, which sentence is a rumor, which sentence is a rumor, which sentence is a rumor?" Heaven warns us to introspect ourselves, why do we put the cart before the horse, and are afraid of what people say? ”

Wang Lang was expressionless and said: "You can fool the ignorant people with your words, and you can't use me!" Take it back, torture words and deeds, whether there is a directive! ”

The Taoist priest's smile disappeared, he looked at Wang Lang calmly, and said, "Wang County Order, do you dare to bet?" I expected the emperor to fast and introspect and sacrifice to the gods. even changed the yuan and issued an edict against himself. ”

Wang Lang's eyes became colder and colder, and he said, "Plug his mouth!" In prison, if he talks nonsense again, pull out his tongue! ”

The messenger immediately answered the order, pressed the priest down, tied him up, and carried him away.

The Taoist priest was calm and unhurried, and said loudly: "Wang County Order, please distinguish between right and wrong, and be righteous!" ”

Wang Lang snorted and said to the servants: "Continue to patrol, if there is lawlessness, but arrest, all things will be borne by the county!" ”

"Honorable Order!" The officers replied loudly, and there was less hesitation in their tones.

Liu Wei looked at Wang Lang through the curtains, and said with a smile: "This Wang Lang is indeed a talent, and it is suitable to put it in Shanyang County." ”

"Let's go, turn around." Liu argued.

Pan Yin responded and ordered the plainclothes guards to turn around.

Wang Lang turned his head, looked at Liu Wei's carriage, didn't think much about it, and continued to walk forward.

Luoyang City was affected by aftershocks, some people were injured, some houses collapsed, some caught fire, and more bandits took the opportunity to make trouble, Wang Lang has to be busy these days.

Liu Wei turned around, and only returned to the palace after dark.

Walking on the way back to Jingfu Palace, he said to Dian Wei: "Dian Wei, are there many such rumors outside the palace?" ”

Dian Wei lowered his head, looked at the back of Liu Wei's head, and said, "I don't know, but as long as there is a disaster, there must be rumors, and there are all kinds of things." ”

Liu Wei nodded and said, "Pan Yin, send a message to Shang Shutai, explicitly prohibit all false rumors and evil delusions, take the lead in creating rumors, and wantonly spread them, with ill intentions!" ”

"Yes." Pan Yin responded.

Liu Wei returned to the study, a little sleepy, and before he could close his eyes and pretend to sleep, a small yellow door hurriedly ran in and whispered a few words in Pan Yin's ear at the door.

Pan Yin's expression changed immediately, he waved his hand, came to Liu Wei, stretched the corners of his face, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Huangfu Jian Chang has sent news, saying that he has found Jian Shuo in Runan. ”
