At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 81 An Earthquake in the Northwest

At Yinshi in the early morning, Zhu Qiyu left the palace on time and headed for the Meridian Gate in a sedan chair.

After this period of supervising the country, especially after the emperor came back, he felt more and more that many things were very different from what he had imagined. For example, the British crown prince, if such a proposal was placed in the past, it would be unimaginable. But now, it has been settled step by step.

The final title agreed upon by the cabinet and the Ministry of Rituals was King of Jing'an, and the name of Jing'an Prefecture, the chief envoy of Jiaozhi, was used. It also meant to calm down Annan, and the meaning was self-evident.

Moreover, this title cannot be given casually, and the additional requirement is that he must become a feudal clan within one year, that is to say, the imperial court will use troops against Annan within one year.

In today's Ming Dynasty, apart from his own emperor brother, the most capable fighter is the British Duke Zhang Fu, and now he is about to go to war.Chen Mao, Marquis of Ningyang, who was second most capable, was still suppressing the rebellion in Sha County, Fujian, and has not returned yet.The third most capable Dingxi Marquis, Jiang Gui, just passed away, and Jingyuanbo Wang Ji succeeded him as General Pingman, and he is still fighting the rebellion in the southwest Luchuan...

This is also the reason why Dad decided to give up Nuer Gandusi and Jiaozhi Chief Envoy. Today's Daming seems to have a bright future, but in fact, internal and external troubles are already at the end of its strength, and it can't afford to use weapons.

It's hard to imagine what would happen to Daming if the Tumu Fortress battle failed...

Zhu Qiyu was resting in the sedan chair with his eyes closed, when he felt a sudden stop, he opened his eyes and asked, "Why did you stop?"

"My lord, there are people blocking the sedan chair ahead."

"Oh?" Zhu Qiyu was a little surprised and asked, "Who?"

"It looks like a scholar, his identity is unknown, do you want to drive him away..."

"No!" Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said, "Let him come forward."

The guard went forward to search and then let the man come over.

"Student Qin Tianjian Sichen Beilin is meeting His Royal Highness King Tan!"

Zhu Qiyu opened the sedan chair curtain and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Bei Lin knelt on the ground, holding a complaint in both hands, and said: "The students impeached Li Shimian, the supervisor of the Qin Tianjian, and all the officials of the Qin Tianjian, and put a vegetarian meal in their corpses, disregarding the lives of thousands of people, even Daming Jiangshan. !"

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu stepped out of the sedan chair, frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"The student was originally a secretary of the Qintian Supervisor. Recently, he discovered a vision in the northwest direction. He speculated that there would be an earthquake in the near future, so he reported to the Qintian Supervisor Ling Tailang, Jianzheng and other officials, hoping to report to the court and warn in advance. , to reduce the casualties in the disaster area, but all the officials of the Qin Tianjian ignored it. In desperation, the students quarreled with the supervisor Li Shimian and were dismissed. It is really helpless to stop His Highness's sedan chair today. Please also Your Highness forgive me!"

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu asked puzzledly: "You said there was an earthquake in the northwest, but do you have evidence?"

Belin said: "Students observe the sky. For three days in a row, there will be a solar eclipse during the day, and the earth's light will appear at night. The stars will disappear, and the stars will disperse. The effect of the earthquake is obvious. This is a sign of the earthquake."

Zhu Qizhen took a few steps and asked again: "How sure are you?"

"Students...students..."

Belin looked a little hesitant, but when she thought about what brother Song had said yesterday, she suddenly became firm and said, "Students are sure that there will definitely be an earthquake in the northwest direction. If the court doesn't warn in advance, the sky will collapse and the earth will shatter and the river will flow backwards. There are thousands of miles of red land, and the people are struggling to survive, so please Your Highness, for the sake of thousands of people, be careful!"

Zhu Qiyu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Follow the sedan chair and follow me to the palace!"

The sky was already dark, and all the ministers gathered in front of the Meridian Gate, just waiting for the palace gate to open at Maoshi.

Everyone was in small groups, chatting together, usually King Tan arrived early, but I don't know why he came so late today...

"His Royal Highness is here!"

Someone yelled, and everyone looked over and saw that it was indeed King Yi's sedan chair, and they all stepped forward to salute.

Zhu Qiyu got off the sedan chair, clasped his fists in return, and then walked to the front of the crowd, waiting to enter the palace.

At this time, someone found that there was a young man next to King Tan, who looked very unfamiliar, and they couldn't help talking in a low voice.

Among the crowd, there was a man with a strange expression who quietly came to a sedan chair.

Li Shimian, the supervisor of the Qintian Supervisor, is 75 years old this year and has already reached the age of retirement. He has submitted letters to resign three times recently, but the king has not approved it. go out.

"Li Gong, Li Gong!"

Li Shimian opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

The people outside said in a low voice: "The person next to His Royal Highness, seems to be Belin from Qin Tianjian!"

Li Shimian couldn't help frowning after hearing this, then stepped out of the sedan chair and asked, "Where are you?"

"It's the one standing behind King Tan."

Li Shimian walked forward slowly, and after a closer look, it was indeed Belin.

Now he was so angry that his beard stood on end, this kid dared to quarrel with himself in front of everyone in Qin Tianjian, he lost all his old face, how dare he come here?

"Veteran Li Shimian has met His Royal Highness King Tan!"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said, "Jian Li, please excuse me."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Li Shimian raised his head, looked at Belin, and asked, "Your Highness, why does this person appear here?"

Bei Lin was young and energetic, and was about to speak, but was pulled by Zhu Qiyu.

"Li Jianzheng, this king is about to ask you, is this person from Qin Tianjian?"

"Not now!" Li Shimian shook his head, and said, "This person has no authority and doesn't obey the rules. He has been dismissed and has nothing to do with Qin Tianjian now."

"That is to say, he originally belonged to Qin Tianjian?"

"Returning to Your Highness, he is just a Sichen, and has no rank."

"What is Sichen's duty?"

"In Qin Tianjian, Si Chen is in charge of telling the time."

Zhu Qiyu asked again: "How is this person's job?"

"Heh!" Li Shimian said with a half-smile, "Without reputation, it's still passable."

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "This person claims to have discovered a vision in the sky, which indicates that there will be an earthquake in the northwest. What does Jianzheng Li think?"

"Your Highness, don't listen to this man's nonsense!"

Li Shimian shook his head vigorously, and said: "It's just a morning minister, how can I know what astrology is? The old minister watches the stars at night, and there is no disaster in the world. This person is exaggerating and trying to win favor from the world. He just wants to gain fame. I have seen many old ministers, Your Highness, don't be fooled by him!"

Beilin couldn't bear it anymore, and pointed at Li Shimian's nose and cursed: "Old man, you are in a high position and do nothing. You eat a vegetarian meal in the corpse, and you are shameless!"

Li Shimian's face turned pale with anger, and he was about to have a heart attack.

"Ignorant boy, yellow mouth and white teeth, alarmist talk, come, someone, take down this bold maniac, and punish him for disrespecting the officer!"

Bellin got angry and jumped up and shouted: "Those who are denied, the sky hates it, the sky hates it!"

At this time, Mao time has come, and the gate of the palace is wide open.

"All right!"

Zhu Qiyu interrupted the quarrel between the two, and said calmly: "What's the matter, let's go to the hall and talk about it!"

　I failed to rush to Sanjiang, and I was in a bad mood. Let me go and cry for a while, woo woo woo...
