Hanyuan Hall
Emperor Chongping and Jia Heng went to the palace together. At this moment, all the cabinet ministers and ministers had not arrived yet.
This summons was not only to respond to the disaster warning, but also to express to the ministers that the emperor was fine.
"Ziyu, it's okay," Emperor Chongping turned to look at Heng and asked again,
As a human being, it is not easy to say disgusting words of gratitude. Instead, it is plain and with sincere concern.
Although there was no danger this time, remembering the terrifying scene just now, even though this emperor has a strong heart, he is also really scared.
Nothing happened, but if the main hall was collapsed, what would happen to the country?
And Jia Heng’s unthinking sacrifice of his own life when he was on the dangerous beach just now... RR
Jia Heng raised his arm. Although he could feel some pain, he was fine overall, so he said, "Your Majesty, it's okay."
Emperor Chongping nodded and said, "It would be better if you go to the Imperial Hospital later."
While the monarch and his ministers were having a conversation, the eunuch's voice suddenly came from outside the palace, "Your Majesty, Mr. Yang Ge, Mr. Han Ge, Mr. Zhao Ge, and Mr. Xu are all waiting outside the palace."
Because two cabinet ministers were in the palace, and the administrative office was also near the imperial city, it didn't take long for them to arrive at the palace to see Emperor Chongping as soon as the official was called.
Emperor Chongping's face straightened and he said in a deep voice: "Xuan them come in,"
Not long after, Yang Guochang, Han Tan and others were seen arriving one after another.
Jia Heng had already stood up and was waiting aside.
"I have seen you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty," Yang Guochang was the first to salute, and then the three cabinet ministers Han Tan, Zhao Yi, and Zhao Mo saluted Emperor Chongping who was sitting upright, followed by Zuo Shu.
The censor, the ministers of Dali Temple, and the general envoys all entered the palace to salute:
Emperor Chongping did not beat around the bush and asked: "My lords, there was an earthquake in the capital. Are there any casualties among the government agencies, soldiers and civilians?"
"Your Majesty, I have just heard from the Jingzhao Yamen that the Jingzhao Yamen and the Wucheng Military and Horse Division have sent people to search and rescue and collect statistics on the collapsed houses," Yang Guochang said with anxiety, cupping his hands and saying,
Such disasters and strange phenomena, many people use far-fetched prophecies and warnings from the clouds and the sky, and then they may affect the changes in the government and trigger political tides, and he, the chief minister of the cabinet, is the first to bear the brunt.
Emperor Chongping looked indifferent, then looked at the other cabinet ministers,
Zhao Yi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, since the fifteenth year of Longzhi, there has been a big earthquake in Lantian. The earth dragon has not been seen in Shenjing City for decades. Fortunately, this time it was just a small earthquake."
This earthquake was not an earth-shaking earthquake with countless casualties.
The worry on Emperor Chongping's face did not diminish. He looked at the general affairs envoy and said: "The General Affairs Secretary is waiting for reports from the provinces. If there is any disaster, he should not delay and go to the cabinet to report. In addition, the Ministry of Household Affairs will allocate a group of special projects." Kun style,
To prepare for relief needs. "
The General Secretary raised his hand and said yes.
Zhou Changshi also accepted the order and said: "Old minister, I obey the order."
Chong Jiaheng then looked at Han Tan, the second minister of the cabinet, and Xu Lu, the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who came with him, and said: "Xu Qing, if he wants to severely reprimand and restrain the officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he has to make people think carefully." Misfortune, borrowed land
Making trouble by stirring up troubles, confusing the public with monstrous words, and making irresponsible remarks about state affairs."
At that time, what we should be on guard against was not the rhetoric that used disasters to demagogue people's minds, nor the kind of political turmoil.
Tongzheng looked at that scene with little understanding in his heart.
The emperor summoned the ministers and gathered the four ministers for discussion, but it was not for that reason.
Chong Jiaheng stepped forward and looked at Tongzheng, saying: "Jinyi Mansion must also pay attention to the movements on the ground in the capital recently, so as to cause bad guys to spread rumors and cause trouble."
Tongzheng raised his hands and said, "I obey the imperial edict."
Chong Jiaheng took another look at Wang Shu, the Minister of Xiaoli Temple, and said: "In recent years, the rectification of unjust prisons has been delayed. In the future, I will ask Xiaoli Temple to dispatch law guards to patrol the provinces to assist in the autumn judgment. We can start this matter now. "
It was true to say that he was superstitious about warnings from ghosts and gods. Chong Zhiye immediately thought of the possibility of being unjustly imprisoned and alarmed Xia Bo.
Wang Shu said: "I will obey the imperial edict."
Chong Jiaheng ordered the four ministers to take charge of their affairs in an orderly manner, and then allowed the ministers to come forward. As the four ministers retreated into the Hanyuan Palace to summon the emperor, the news that the imperial palace was as secure as a rock naturally came to an end. subsequently expanded
Go out and convince the officials that the emperor is safe and well.
For example, the vassal kings such as King Qi, King Chu, and King Wei who stayed outside their homes would also get the news.
Of course, because of the turmoil caused by the earthquake, things will be calm under the court as Chong Zhiye wishes.
After several ministers entered, Chong Jiaheng and Zhi Ye were left in Hanyuan Hall again.
Chong Jiaheng said: "Ziyu, when that incident happened in Beijing, I must have been heartbroken."
That means there may not be some rumors arising in the capital, causing a storm.
Tongzhengdao: "Your Majesty, since the time of Emperor Yao, the Seven Seas have been at peace, and the people have been nurtured. They have tried to revive the plan, but they have failed to achieve any merit. As for disasters, as far as I know, during the reign of Emperor Yao, the Seven Seas were abolished and the four states were divided. This is why Word,
Was Emperor Yao not a sage? "
According to my opinion, it was Zhou Changshi who took the blame, but the emperor still seemed to want to balance the situation.
"I'm afraid everyone has the same heart." Chong Zhiye said with a gloomy face, in a deep voice,
Tongzheng's face was straightened and he said solemnly: "Those who dare to talk about right and wrong must be right and wrong. Your Majesty has said it one after another. Beware of those evil words that confuse the public and deceive people's hearts. I am the Commander-in-Chief in Jinyi and hold the Emperor's Sword on behalf of Your Majesty.
Rumors are definitely tolerated! "
In fact, whether any of the four ministers just dared to fudge that there was no loss of sanctity. The celestial phenomena warned, but it is unclear whether officials, officials, or even the military and civilians would think so.
Therefore, Chong Jiaheng immediately asked Tongzheng to be on guard against the spread of such rumors.
Chong Jiaheng nodded.
At that moment, an eunuch came from the inner room and reported, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is awake."
Chong Jiaheng suddenly stood up, looked at Tongzheng, and said, "Ziyu, come with me to have a look."
General administration received the order and said yes,
At this moment, I no longer look like a little guard. Of course, to a certain extent, perhaps because of the "rescue" incident just now, the emperor became temporarily dependent on me?
Chonghua Palace
The palace, which had not yet been tidied up, was once again in chaos. Inside the palace, under the dragon bed covered with yellow curtains, His Majesty the Emperor was waking up from a drowsy state. He hurriedly opened his eyelids, woke up, and followed.
A hand stretched out from the nest and called:
"Water, water..."
Seeing the movement, all the internal eunuchs and palace servants who were gathered around from all directions started shouting. The bowl of honey water that had been poured in front of them was first handed to Empress Dowager Feng, and then passed to Empress Dowager Feng who was sitting on the bed. Houxiudunhu
Outside the skillful leaf-planting hands waiting quietly,
At that time, several internal eunuchs helped the emperor up, with a pillow placed on his front and back. The old man, who was over ten years old, fainted in the middle of the journey, and his condition improved as the imperial doctor said.
That's why the imperial physician was in the palace and reported good news to report bad news.
Emperor Longzhi handed over the jade bowl in his hand and looked at Jinyang with his sharp eyes as he drank the warm honey water in a long sip.
"Gudong, Gudong..."
After drinking a bowl of honey water, His Majesty's face regained some of its color, and the rosy color rose again on his slender cheeks. He looked around, saw Emperor Longzhi clearly, and said without any energy, "It's Concubine Wan."
Emperor Longzhi called: "Your Majesty."
Jin Yang leaned the back of his neck on the pillow, his eyelids slightly twitching, looking at all the relatives, except for the seven concubines he married in his later years.
At those years, they were all under seventy years old, and their appearance had lost their appearance and their appearance had faded. Jinyang coughed, and the Internal Supervisor Zi Xu Luan on the side quickly stroked his back.
Jin Yangchang said: "I learned that this time, maybe I will have a few more years of good life."
Emperor Longzhi said: "Your Majesty, you will get stronger as you age, and your heart will never grow old when you are old. Why do you say such detailed words?"
There was no trace of sarcasm in those words. At such a young age, he fainted during the earthquake because he favored the palace concubine. What would it be like?
Jin Yang smiled, not feeling a little embarrassed in his heart. He just avoided the piercing eyes, but still changed the topic and said healthily: "I know about my body and bones, and besides, I am taboo."
, I have a lot of regrets in my life..."
"With the fall of Liaodong and the declining power of the country, is there any regret?" Emperor Longzhi said calmly,
At that moment, Emperor Longzhi could vaguely see some of Princess Luo Chengwang's demeanor. Emperor Longzhi had obviously read books when he was young, and it couldn't even be said that Chong Jiaheng's temperament had not been passed down from Emperor Longzhi.
It's just that I'm young, have children and grandchildren, and have desires, so my temperament becomes a little stricter.
"Ahem..."
Jin Yangchang coughed several times, and the Internal Supervisor Zi Xu Luan on the side quickly patted him.
"Mother."
After all, it was Empress Dowager Feng who was nearby and called out with a natural look on her face, meaning that it doesn’t matter whether you are old or young,
Emperor Longzhi looked at Jin Yang and sighed: "Your Majesty is young, so he should take good care of his body and bones."
Jinyang is a good word for a long time.
At that time, Xu Luan, the chief eunuch of Chonghua Palace, retreated to the palace, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Jinyang, Princess Xincheng, Prince Consort Yongchang, King Qi, King Chu, King Wei... came to the palace to visit, "
Although several of the princes on Jinyang's knees died because of the attempt to seize the legitimate sons, and were imprisoned, only King Zhongshun and the emperor of the day were left in his eyes.
But Jinyang Chang has not yet had a son. As for Jinyang Chang’s brothers, they have already gone through several waves and several seven-character princes have been re-titled. They have been passed down to the eighth generation. Some of them were originally concubines. The descendants of the previous generations are separated by blood. of
Far, less close,
The only thing missing is the Yongchang Prince Consort of the little eldest princess Huaiqing, who often comes to Zhiye Qiao to visit:
At that time, the family members living in Beijing heard that Jinyang's body was like a statue, so they all came to visit.
After a while, Princess Luo Chengwang led her son, Princess Qinghe, back to the palace and called: "Father,"
"Jin Yang is here too," Jin Yang waved his hand, looked at Princess Luo Chengwang with a fierce look, and smiled.
Li Chanyue also obediently called her Imperial Grandfather. Well, Grandfather Li is also a grandfather.
Princess Luo Chengwang sat nearby and sighed: "I heard that my father was frightened by the aftermath of the earth dragon. Why are you so worried? My father can be seen by the imperial doctor. What should I say?"
In fact, Princess Luo Chengwang doesn't have much affection for the father behind her eyes, but it hinders the filial piety of a loving father and a happy scene.
Jin Yang smiled and said, "There is a small problem in my well."
Princess Luo Chengwang looked at Emperor Longzhi on the side and said, "In front of my mother, the earth dragon was stirring just now. Are you surprised?"
Zhiyeqiao nodded and said, "You're okay,"
After a while, the inner prisoner reported again that Chen Cheng, the king of Qijun, Chen Ran, the king of Wei, and Chen Wei, the king of Liang... came back one after another to see him.
As soon as Prince Qi returned from the palace, tears welled up in his eyes, and he knelt down. It was not the weight of Xiao V, which caused a loud "bang" sound in the palace.
Chen Cheng's fat body jumped, he walked a few steps on his knees, and said with tears streaming down his face: "Grandfather, he scared my grandson to death,"
Jin Yang waved his hand, his eyes were a bit fierce, and said: "Cheng'er, get up."
Previously, the kings of Wei and Chu came down one after another to say hello.
King Chu glanced at the man with runny noses and tears, and felt a twinge of discomfort in his heart.
Those people, no matter what I do or come here, are already seventy years old, but they are still like children, caring about their status, how can they be in heaven?
However, since the King of Chu wanted to see Chen Cheng, he consciously looked for someone to look good on, and took pleasure in looking at his own aunt, Princess Luo Chengwang.
His eyes flashed, and he secretly thought, my aunt is becoming more and more charming.
I saw the beauty in a peach red skirt, with a low figure, a bun like a cloud, red lips and pink face, shining like a spring flower, like a strong elixir flower with national beauty and fragrant fragrance.
In fact, some people know that the King of Chu still has an ambition hidden in his heart, such as I rule the sky and take charge of the country...
Jin Yangchang accepted the greetings from all the princes and princes, and exchanged a few words with them until Emperor Longzhi said: "Your Majesty needs to rest, they should stop making noises there and go inside to wait."
With. "
All the princes and princes left the palace and were waiting in the palace to talk.
Chen Cheng, the king of Qijun, also wiped his tears and left the main hall angrily.
After a while, the Prince Consort of Yongchang also came to visit. Although the seven of them were uncles, they were like-minded playmates.
When Yongchang was a young man, he was also a first-class romantic figure. Although his hair was gray, his face was handsome. He was lying on the silkworm summer bed, his starry eyes were dull. He sat close behind and called out: "Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body." ah.
When Jin Yangchang saw the Prince Consort of Yongchang, he sighed with emotion: "I am old, and I have made a good use of it. I just want to suffer the aftershocks, but I don't have palpitations."
If I were to be ten years older, wouldn't I be wrong?
It is worth mentioning that, except for Emperor Longzhi, Chong Zhiye and Zhiye Qiaoli, others only thought that the Emperor was knocked unconscious by the earthquake, but that he was "shocked".
Of course, there are mistakes in it. When we are doing things, there is a sudden earthquake. Who can withstand it? Another ten-year-old man, he met a ghost there and almost became a ghost.
Jin Yangchang was talking to the Prince Consort of Yongchang, and then said: "Life is rare, and I don't have any extravagant wishes. I should make preparations even if I don't have anything to do. I want to know whether the auspicious soil has been repaired or not. Yongchang, he led people to see it. look,
Also urging people to retreat, others are worried about me. "
Gongling Mausoleum is located south of the Wei River, about seventy miles away from Shenjing City. Because the mountain is a mausoleum, a cemetery is built below, and an underground palace is dug in the mountain. The cemetery is surrounded by walls and palaces are built inside. Give up, go over
Pines, cypresses and other evergreen trees.
Since Jinyang Chang advocated pleasure and luxury, the Gongling Mausoleum was naturally built to be solemn and luxurious. It was for this reason that it took a long time to build, but it has not yet been completed:
Yongchang Prince Consort nodded and accepted the order: "Your Majesty is worried, I will go and check later."
When Princess Luo Chengwang, who was having lunch with Emperor Longzhi and Empress Dowager Feng, saw that scene, her beautiful eyes flashed. Knowing why, a well-founded expectation suddenly arose in her heart.
Prince Zhongshun's Mansion
There was an earthquake just now, which also alarmed Prince Zhongshun's palace. The sound of people was quiet. It took more than half an hour to calm down. The servants collected all kinds of rubble and gravel in the courtyard and cleaned the wing.
Overturned tables and chairs and broken jade and porcelain utensils,
In the flower hall in the front yard, King Zhongshun was talking to several frightened concubines.
Suddenly, Zhi Yeqiao from the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion stood still on the porch, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the superior officer heard that the Emperor's body was in a state of disfigurement due to the earth dragon stirring, so Your Majesty should come to the palace to visit as soon as possible."
When King Zhongshun heard this, his expression changed slightly. He looked at the gloomy sky in the courtyard, wrinkled his face, twirled his beard with his hand, and said loudly: "Prepare the sedan chair. I will go to visit you right away."
With that said, he and Zhi Yeqiao walked towards the back hall,
At the same time, several slow horses behind the gate of Prince Zhongshun galloped with their whips raised, and the horseshoes stepped on the bluestone road, making a clicking sound. Zhi Yeqiao, the construction director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, got on his horse and casually pulled the tying rope.
, slowly and hurriedly retreated to Prince Zhongshun’s Mansion.
"Luo Xiaoren, what's wrong?" Men Geng Wuchang asked in a low voice,
However, Yang Guochang ignored him and walked slowly back to the courtyard, staggering forward, and finally met King Zhongshun who was accompanied by Empress Song and a group of guards at the Yimen, and said in fear: "Your Majesty, my dear.
It's good,"
' "What's the matter? You're so nervous." King Zhongshun looked at Yang Guochang, who looked ashen-faced, and asked, with a happy expression on his face.
"Your Majesty, Gongling, Gongling... something happened," Yang Guochang looked frightened and said in a high voice,
King Zhongshun's pupils shrank and he said slowly: "Mr. Luo, what happened to Gongling?"
"Gongling Mausoleum collapsed, and some 700 craftsmen who were working on the construction were trapped in Pingdi. The inner houses and the palaces also collapsed." Yang Guochang continued intermittently, his face was gray, and the one whose voice was not trembling was Cheng.
son,
When Gongling Mausoleum collapsed, my construction supervisor was the first to be held accountable, and he was afraid that his head would be moved.
It was as if a thunder exploded on the ground.
King Zhongshun swayed and said in shock: "How could it happen? It was just a big earthquake. One of the buildings under my palace collapsed. Why did Gongling Mausoleum collapse? There was no Emperor Ping yet..."
Speaking of the first part, I was shocked and felt my hands and feet were cold. Yes, the original wood material was very good. Because the household budget was poor, there was no limit to how much money could be allocated. For example, if 10% of the money was used in ten places, there would be no oil or water on the bottom or top. Can
fishing,
But Pan Bingyi and the craftsmen he found said that there was a small problem in the well. How could it withstand even a small earthquake?
Seeing King Zhongshun's face gloomy and defeated, as if he was the master of eight gods, Queen Song looked solemn and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it is best to hide this matter. Please retreat from the palace immediately and tell me that the earth dragon is stirring and shaking." broken
Ling, let these craftsmen be controlled again to prevent them from making trouble,"
I am sure that the inner buildings and the palace have collapsed, and there have been a few casualties. I can still cover up the matter, but in front of my eyes, it seems that the Ping Emperor has collapsed, and many craftsmen have been buried in the Ping Emperor, and those are the Ministry of Works and other officials.
The craftsmen supported by the Wufu have many relatives and relatives in Shenjing City. Once a small number of officials are reported missing, it is unimaginable to stay away.
Hearing this, King Zhongshun calmed down and said slowly: "What Empress Song said is true. I will immediately withdraw from the palace and report. Mr. Luo, he immediately organized manpower to rescue the buried craftsmen. Remember, it is possible for others to intervene."
It was the Earth Dragon that turned over and shook Emperor Gongling. Well, that was a natural disaster and had nothing to do with me?
