I am the carpenter king

Chapter 547 Gyeonggi Earthquake

Hearing Emperor Tianqi's question, Wang Chengen was taken aback for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "Return to the emperor, there is no news from Fujian yet, this is not a small matter, let's talk about it after all!"

Nodding his head slowly, Emperor Tianqi closed his eyes again, Wang Chengen on the side didn't know whether he was thinking about something or thinking.However, Emperor Tianqi closed his eyes and rested for a long time. After a while, the whole palace began to shake. Although the vibration was not big, it was indeed shaking.

Opening his eyes suddenly, looking at the shaking water surface, something bad flashed in Emperor Tianqi's mind, an earthquake!Suddenly jumping out of the water, Emperor Tianqi shouted loudly: "The earthquake is strong, everyone, find a place to hide!" He looked around, found a big table and got in.

As a person who traveled from later generations, he is very familiar with earthquakes. Now that he is in the palace, he can't run out of this distance.According to the teachings of later generations, after shouting, Emperor Tianqi decisively found a suitable place to hide.But soon Emperor Tianqi realized that something was wrong. The collapse of the house in his impression did not happen, and the ground shook for a while and then stopped.

"Your Majesty, it's okay, let's go outside the palace!" Standing awkwardly outside, Wang Chengen stared fiercely at the maid and eunuch, his eyes full of warning.He bowed and stood in front of the table, waiting for Emperor Tianqi to come out.

Naked and crawling out from under the table, Emperor Tianqi's face was red even if his skin was thick enough.Looking around, he ordered: "Changing clothes for me, Wang Cheng'en, you send someone to pass the decree and find all the cabinet ministers and military ministers. By the way, there are six ministers and ministers, all of them!"

"Your Majesty, it's getting late now, shall we talk about it tomorrow?" Wang Chengen suggested, looking at Emperor Tianqi cautiously.It seems a bit inconvenient to find someone to enter the palace at this time.

Staring fiercely at Wang Cheng'en, Emperor Tianqi's face suddenly darkened, and he said loudly: "If the earthquake happened in the capital, I have already been buried. Now that the people are affected by the disaster, let me talk about it tomorrow. Can the people wait until tomorrow? Go quickly and tell the messenger that if anyone can’t come, he will tell him to go back to his hometown and farm.” He said with a flick of his sleeves and walked out.

Wang Chengen's face was terrified at this moment, he knew that he had touched the bottom line of Emperor Tianqi, so he quickly ran out. [

Sitting on the dragon chair.Emperor Apocalypse sighed naively, the Ming Dynasty has really come to a time of many disasters.If it wasn't for saving up some money and food, the court would have been devastated by this time.After a short time, adults began to walk in. Everyone had a tired look on their faces, but their expressions were extremely serious.

The earthquake just happened in Yangzhou, and now the capital has another earthquake, so they are not in a good mood either.What happened to the Ming Dynasty?After these people had met the Emperor Tianqi, they all sat on the chairs that had been prepared earlier.There is also tea brought by the maid on the side.Seeing this posture, these people knew that today might not be short.

When everyone arrived, Emperor Tianqi said: "I don't tell you all my loves, you know what happened, Qin Tianjian, tell me what's going on?"

The young supervisor of Qin Tianjian on the side stood up respectfully, and said with a bit of dignity on his face: "Report to the emperor. I have already checked the seismograph. According to the seismograph, the major earthquake should be in the southeast of the capital. "

Nodding slowly, it is not easy to detect these things in this era, so he waved his hand.Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "I don't know if you have any suggestions from the lovers? Why don't you just tell me!"

"Your Majesty, I feel that there was a big earthquake in Yangzhou first, and now that there is a big earthquake in Gyeonggi. I think this is not a coincidence." At this time, a person stood up and said respectfully.

This is of course not a coincidence, this is the Earth's Little Ice Age, but the Emperor Tianqi was slightly taken aback, it's fine if he knew it, did he know it too?Can't help but look carefully at the speaker.This is an official in his 50s. Emperor Tianqi knew at a glance that this was Zou Cheng, the Minister of Rites.

"If you have anything to say, Aiqing, you may as well speak up!" Emperor Tianqi looked at Zou Cheng and said without changing his expression.

Hearing Emperor Tianqi's words, Zou Cheng shook his head for a while, and then said: "Heavenly born people, let the emperor support and rule them. If the ruler is not virtuous and the administration is uneven, the disaster will be manifested by the heavens. At the beginning of the month, there was a big earthquake in Yangzhou. How terrible is the disaster? Now that there is another big earthquake in Gyeonggi, it is actually a sign from heaven! .The emperor can't control and raise all living beings, and he can't use the light of the three lights, which is very immoral."

"Enough!" Seeing that Zou Cheng still wanted to read on, Emperor Tianqi slapped the table fiercely, his face darkened, and he lowered his voice, "Zou Aiqing, then you see what I have done." What kind of immoral thing did God send down to punish the people?"

Everyone looked at Zou Cheng with pity, and said in their hearts that you are looking for death, and we came here in the middle of the night to listen to your bullshit?The earthquake has just passed, and it is not known how many people were affected. If the relief is also available, you are talking nonsense here to accuse the emperor of his faults. You are really a pig.

However, Zou Cheng didn't seem to understand the meaning of Emperor Tianqi, and said with a righteous face: "Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has clarified the court and investigated corruption, which is what a generation of Mingjun said. However, the emperor changed the laws of the ancestors without authorization and reformed the military system. , God warned the emperor!"

Staring at Zou Cheng, Emperor Tianqi's face has completely darkened, and he really knows how to pick the time.In this era, Zou Cheng's statement must be very marketable. Once it is spread, it will definitely give those who oppose the reform of the military system a handle.Emperor Tianqi knew very well what was going on in the earthquake, and the reform of the military system could not stop.

"Zou Aiqing, do you think that this earthquake should happen in the Forbidden City, and that you are satisfied with burying the Forbidden City of Zhenzhen and Zhenzhen?" Emperor Tianqi stared at Zou Cheng and said loudly.

Now Zou Cheng panicked, and quickly knelt down on the ground, saying: "I didn't mean that, your majesty calm down!"

"Zou Cheng, I'm asking you, what do you think should I do when there's a big earthquake?" Emperor Tianqi didn't seem to be angry anymore, looking at Zou Cheng, he said in a deep voice.

"Returning to the emperor, I feel that the emperor should issue an edict of guilt, and then stop the reform of the general system to show that the emperor respects the heaven. An earthquake occurred in the capital, and it was in the southeast instead of the capital. It is a warning from heaven. Hope the emperor Think twice!" Zou Cheng didn't know if he had taken the wrong "drug" and was still thinking about reforming the military system.

The few ministers present couldn't stand it any longer, and it was Yang He, the left governor of the Inspectorate who came out first, bowed to Emperor Tianqi, and said: "Your Majesty Zou is talking nonsense! Your Majesty is enthroned." Since then, the holy deeds have been spread all over the world, and the reform of the military system is the greatest good governance among them. After the reform of the military system, the soldiers in Liaodong were strong and strong, and the decline of only defending but not attacking was wiped out, and Kaitie was recovered in one fell swoop. The Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, and some disasters are likely to happen. What a fuss, Chen Shen and Zou Cheng have "confuse" the crowd and "confuse" Sheng Cong, please the emperor punish him!"

"Your Majesty, I feel that Lord Yang's words are a little too much!" This time it was Sun Chengzong who stood up, and after Emperor Tianqi nodded, he said: "Mr. Zou is loyal to the country, and his patriotism makes this old minister feel ashamed. But the old minister thinks Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. There are people suffering from disasters, and saving the people from the fire and water is the most important thing. It is better to entrust the disaster relief to Mr. Zou. If Mr. Zou serves the heart of the country with fists, he must be able to handle the disaster properly and prevent anyone from suffering. A common man died unexpectedly."

There were crows and sparrows in the hall. If Yang He's blow just now was cruel enough, Sun Chengzong directly put Zou Cheng into the pit of fire.How could a large earthquake not kill people if no common people were killed?This is basically a "naked" frame!

Zou Cheng, who was kneeling on the ground, was trembling all over, afraid that Emperor Tianqi would send him there, but he could only grit his teeth and hold on.There has been news from Nanjing that the reform of the military system has already begun. If there is no way, it will really be too late!

Taking a look at Sun Chengzong and Yang He, Emperor Tianqi knew that this matter must not be over. Emperor Tianqi could guess how bad Zou Cheng's words would be.But now is not the time to think about these things, and Emperor Tianqi ignored Zou Cheng, but said to him humanely: "This time the disaster relief is fully in charge of the inspector Zuo Du Yu Shi Yang He, and all departments must actively cooperate. If you know who is obedient, you will know the consequences yourself. Send someone to the southeast to find out where the earthquake happened!"

"I'm waiting to listen to the hadith!" Everyone quickly replied respectfully, with solemn faces.The big earthquake happened in the capital, and if any disturbance occurs, it will directly affect the capital, and no one dares to neglect it.

"Okay, dear friends, let's all go back and prepare! In addition, the food for Yangzhou must be shipped as soon as possible. If you don't have it all, then half of it will be shipped first. The cabinet will catch this matter, and there should be no mistakes!" Emperor Tianqi waved his hand Signaling everyone to go down, he said solemnly.

After everyone went out, Wang Chengen said, "Your Majesty, there seems to be something wrong with that Zou Cheng, who always insists on the reform of the military system."

Slowly nodded, Emperor Tianqi could see this naturally, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "This is just the beginning, let's watch! In a few days, rumors will spread throughout the capital. Things are really troublesome! You go to Wei Chao and ask him to investigate this Zou Cheng for me, and let me find out all three generations of his ancestors, and I want to see who dares to do such a small trick!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Nubei will go now!" Wang Chengen respectfully agreed, turned around and strode out. (to be continued..)
