It seemed to match her mood.
That night, there was thunder and lightning all of a sudden, and it was windy and rainy for most of the night. Nan Yan didn't fall asleep very late, looking at the white light that flickered outside the window, her heart was in a mess.
In this way, until it was almost dawn, I barely closed my eyes and fell into a light sleep for a while.
However, it didn't take long before he was woken up by the sound of heavy and hurried footsteps outside the door.
Nan Yan frowned slightly and opened her eyes.
He heard Ran Xiaoyu's voice from the door: "Tingfu, why are you running around? Be careful not to bump into me!"
"Sister Xiaoyu, have you heard? Something big happened!"
"What's the big deal?"
"I just heard that all the fortifications on the east side of the city collapsed!"
"What?!"
Ran Xiaoyu was taken aback and couldn't control her voice, while Nan Yan was so startled that she woke up suddenly, and suddenly sat up from the bed.
"Xiaoyu, listen to the blessing!"
As soon as people outside heard her call, they all came in immediately.
"Ma'am."
Nan Yan picked up one side of the clothes and put them on, then got out of bed and asked Ting Fu: "What did you just say? The fortifications for building the city wall have all collapsed?"
Ting Fu stood in front of her, nodded and said, "Yes."
"Who said that?"
"It was said by the person who ran back outside to deliver the letter."
Nan Yan frowned.
"How did it collapse?"
"I'm not too sure about this. But I heard that when there was thunder last night, the lightning hit the city wall, so it collapsed."
"..."
"I heard that there are several workers buried below, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead."
When Nan Yan heard this, her heart sank.
She thought for a while, then hurriedly asked: "Does the emperor know?"
"The person who sent the message has already passed away. If you think about it, you should already know."
"Then, what about the ministers?"
"I must know it too. After all, some ministers are staring at that side every day."
"..."
Nan Yan was silent for a while, and then said: "Hurry up and wash me up."
Standing by the side, Ran Xiaoyu listened to what Fu said about the situation. Although she didn't fully understand the overall situation, she also vaguely understood that they might face a big trouble this time.
So, he immediately came over with hot water and helped Nanyan to wash up.
Afterwards, she tried hard to persuade her to eat two bites first. After all, for pregnant women, three meals cannot be reduced or deducted. Nanyan also ate two bites with her persuasion.
Then, he hurried to Zhu Feng's study.
Unexpectedly, when he got there, he heard a noise in front of him.
Looking up from a distance, sure enough, outside the study room, there were already many ministers standing, everyone was discussing, and there was nothing more than anxious and heavy expressions on their faces.
Of course, there was a hint of gloating in this expression.
After all, they were clearly opposed to this project. Now, a thunderbolt split the city wall, which really saved them a lot of trouble.
Even better, this matter can be used to make a big fuss.
At this moment, Zhu Feng was sitting behind the table in the study, listening to several officials from the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian standing below, and said in a heavy tone——
"Your Majesty, this catastrophe is a warning!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, Beiping City can no longer be expanded."
"For heaven and reason, for the country and the people, the emperor, the construction of Beiping City cannot go on. Otherwise, this time it will be thunder and lightning, and the next time, I don't know what it will be!"
…
The more they talked, the tighter Zhu Feng's brows were.
He said solemnly: "At this time, there are already many thunderstorms. If the thunder strikes a wall, what is it?"
"Your Majesty, this statement is wrong!"
The official of the Qin Tianjian said: "You must know that heaven and man are connected. God can affect people and predict disasters, and the behavior of children can also be felt."
"..."
"Now, the omen given by the heavens to the emperor's construction of Beiping City is an ominous omen!"
"yes!"
Several officials around hurriedly agreed: "Your Majesty, God is always inspired by everything the monarch does. Obviously, God does not agree with the construction of Beiping City this time."
"That's why such a disaster happened."
"If the emperor insists on going his own way again, I'm afraid—I don't know what kind of disasters the sky will continue to send!"
Zhu Feng frowned upon hearing their series of words.
Outside the gate, those officials also knelt down and said to him in unison: "Your Majesty, please stop building Beiping City!"
Yanwang Mansion in Beiping was originally much smaller than Jinling Imperial City.
Their voices in unison resounded throughout the entire Yan Palace.
Zhu Feng's eyebrows were already twisted into a pimple.
At this time, Ye Zheng walked slowly to his side, thought for a long time, and whispered: "The emperor..."
He has followed Zhu Feng since he was a child, so of course he knows that Zhu Feng is a man of one word.
But at this time, even Zhu Feng himself was a little speechless.
After all, anger is hard to offend.
In the past, although Zhu Feng had confronted officials like this because of "enthronement" and the matter of punishing court ladies, he was very clear about the first two matters, and he was sure of winning, and these courtiers could not influence him at all.
But this time, it's different.
Although I have arrived in Beiping, all the officials in the south are against it, and the officials in the north are silent——
He can't really be alone.
However, just giving up like this, he naturally couldn't do it.
While he was in a stalemate, the officials in front of him, as well as the ministers standing outside the door, knelt down and kowtowed, and kept saying: "Your Majesty, the ominous omen sent from the sky is to warn the Emperor. , I can no longer go my own way!”
Seeing them like this, Ye Zheng took a step forward and said: "My lords, you are doing this, are you trying to force the emperor?!"
When they heard the word "forcing the palace", these ministers were also taken aback.
Yan Gu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are only thinking of the Emperor, and I don't want the Emperor to go his own way and ignore the warnings of the heavens. If there is another disaster, our Yan Kingdom will be over!"
"I beg the emperor to take it back!"
"..."
Zhu Feng looked at them with a sullen face, and after a while, he said, "So, are you forcing me?"
"I dare not wait."
"If you don't dare, get up!"
"..."
They hesitated, and they finally got this opportunity, and they were unwilling to give up halfway, but they knew Zhu Feng's temper somewhat.
I'm afraid that if you push him tight, it won't do you any good.
You know, it hasn't been a year since the murder of three thousand court ladies!
When the two sides were at a stalemate, Zhu Feng let out a long sigh of relief, and then said, "You guys get up first."
"..."
"I will reconsider this matter."
"..."
"After three days, I will give you an answer."
