Chapter 88
Zhu Qizhen stood up abruptly, and walked out of Fengtian Hall first.

The officials looked at each other in blank dismay, the sudden shock made everyone unexpected, and they didn't know what happened.

Among the several censors who followed Tang Xinggu to impeach Belle just now, some of them had faintly sensed that something was wrong, and quietly stood aside, intentionally or unintentionally distanced themselves from Tang Xinggu.

Zhu Qiyu came to his senses and followed Zhu Qizhen to the outside of the hall, and then Cao Nai, Yu Qian and others also came out in a file.

At this time, the sky had just turned pale and the visibility was very low. Wynn hurriedly ordered someone to bring a lantern.

Immediately afterwards, the ground shook again, only a bang was heard, and a stone pillar outside the hall fell down and fell to the ground, smashing it into pieces.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

Fan Zhong rushed forward to protect Zhu Qizhen.

"I'm fine!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hands, then squatted down, and carefully observed the bluestone slabs on the ground with the help of the light from the lantern.

The square outside the main hall was originally made up of square bluestone slabs. Due to the shock just now, many slate slabs have been squeezed and broken, and some are warped. If you look closely, they appear to be arranged like water waves .

Standing aside, Zhu Qiyu didn't know why, and asked, "Your Majesty, is this... an earthquake?"

"Not bad!" Zhu Qizhen nodded and said suddenly, "Li Shimian, come here!"

Li Shimian hurried forward and asked, "What is the emperor's order?"

"Look here!" Zhu Qizhen pointed to the ground and asked, "Tell me, what is this?"

"Bluestone slab...broken bluestone slab..."

"Why did it break?"

"Probably because... because... an earthquake happened..."

"Where did the earthquake occur?"

"This... the old minister doesn't know. You have to wait until the report enters the capital before..."

"You show me carefully!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Qizhen pointed to the broken bluestone slab on the ground and said: "When the bluestone slab is broken, it presents a fixed shape. This shape is the energy wave propagating from the center of the source. line, and according to the wrinkled direction of the stone slab, the location of the source of the earthquake can be determined!"

Everyone followed Zhu Qizhen's hand, and it was the west.

Although many words are not understood, but the general meaning can be guessed, that is to say, an earthquake occurred somewhere in the west!
West, Yulin Mansion...

Li Shimian suddenly felt a chill on his back, the earthquake predicted by Belin really happened!

How can it be?

Natural disasters such as earthquakes are clearly a warning from the heavens. As the saying goes, the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed, so how could they be predicted?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Zhu Qizhen turned his head to look, pointed at one of them and said, "Tang Xinggu, come forward!"

Tang Xinggu's face had already turned pale, he forced a smile, and asked, "I don't know what the emperor ordered?"

Snapped!
Zhu Qizhen went up to be a big rival, and then said angrily: "I don't want to talk to you, get out by yourself!"

"Yes!"

Tang Xinggu no longer had the character of a literati just now, and left in despair.

There is no way, I kicked the iron plate, I can only admit that I am unlucky.

Zhu Qizhen looked around, and those censor officials who were fearless just now turned into quails in the blink of an eye, and lowered their heads.

This group of Qingliu usually only play lip service, but if something happened, no one can be trusted!
"Yuan Bin!"

Yuan Bin stepped forward and said, "The minister is here!"

"In the case of Shanxi merchants collaborating with the enemy, how many goods were seized?"

"Back to the emperor, the main goods are 25 shi of grain, [-] bolts of cotton cloth, [-] shi of salt, and [-] jin of pig iron, but most of them are in Datong and Taiyuan, and have not yet been shipped back to the capital."

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and said in a deep voice, "The cabinet listens to the order!"

Cao Nai, Yu Qian and others hurried forward: "The minister is here!"

Zhu Qi calmed down and said: "Immediately organize people to allocate some of the food and other daily necessities seized in Datong and Taiyuan, Shanxi, and transport them to the disaster-stricken areas of Yulin Mansion. This is of great importance. Yu Qian, you will go there yourself!"

Yu Qian saluted and said: "I obey the order!"

Zhu Qizhen continued: "Qin Tianjian Li Shimian is an upright supervisor, but he has made no achievements, and he doesn't know anyone well. Nian Zaiqing's family is already old, so you should sue yourself!"

Li Shimian knelt down tremblingly, and said, "The old minister kowtows to God for his grace!"

"Also!" Zhu Qizhen's gaze was like a torch, and he glanced coldly at everyone present, "From now on, I will make a rule that the censors will no longer hear about things, and I will give you the right to supervise, and you can rely on the power of supervision." As a history official, he has the right to check any records when he enters and exits any yamen. The crime of rebellion will be punished!"

"I will obey your orders!"

Everyone didn't dare to show their anger, they were worried that the emperor would be annoyed, so I will give you a big contest.

This thing is different from Tingzhang, although Tingzhang hurts in the buttocks, it is glorious, Da Bidou not only hurts his face, but also shames him...

…………

Yulin Mansion, prefect yamen.

Zheng Xiang, who was sleeping with his concubine in his arms, was suddenly shaken by the magistrate Jiang Wenke and fell out of the bed.

"what's the situation?"

Jiang Wenke covered his head in a daze, and the concubine beside him also looked confused.

Immediately afterwards, there was another huge shock, the windows rattled, and the ground shook.

"The ground has collapsed!"

Jiang Wenke finally came to his senses, he rolled and crawled under the bed, the concubine reacted a bit slower, and was just about to follow, when she was hit by the collapsed beam and passed out.

By the time the guards dug the magistrate out of the ruins, the entire magistrate's office was already in a mess.

"Master, master, are you all right?"

"Bah! Bah!"

Jiang Wenke's face was covered with blood, and he tried his best to spit out the dregs in his mouth. He looked around blankly.

Fortunately, this bed is newly made, and it is still strong, otherwise the old life will be gone!
Thinking of this, he said with lingering fear: "The earth has collapsed, the earth has collapsed!"

"Yes, sir, the earth has collapsed!"

Suddenly, Jiang Wenke seemed to think of something, his face turned pale, and he trembled involuntarily.

"Sir, are you not hurt?"

"Hurry up, get your horses ready!" Jiang Wenke shouted hastily, "Everyone, follow me to Mizhi County for disaster relief!"

"Master, your injury..."

"No problem!"

Jiang Wenke couldn't care less about his injuries, he couldn't even take a look at the concubine who died tragically in the ruins. At this moment, he only thought about one thing, the imperial envoy was still in Mizhi!
I just wrote a letter to impeach others, saying that they harmed the people, and the people complained...

It's over, it's over, the official career is worrying!

Thinking of this, Jiang Wenke roared like crazy: "What are you still doing in a daze, prepare your horse and set off!"
