Humans are insignificant when natural disasters come. Whether it is a noble family or ordinary people, in front of him, they will receive the most fair treatment.
The violent shaking did not stop because of the cries on the ground, but instead, it shook even more violently, as if the heaven and the earth were about to turn over.
People seemed to hear a rumbling sound from the ground. This terrible sound made many people who escaped fall to their knees, crying and begging the sky to spare their lives.
I don't know if the dragon was tired from turning over, or the people's prayers had an effect, and the shaking finally stopped. But some of the less sturdy houses are in ruins, and there are voices calling for relatives and friends everywhere.
Having experienced the terrifying earthquake, although the people lost some property, their hearts are full of gratitude to the emperor. If it weren't for the emperor's benevolence, the ancestors could be warned by the dream, I am afraid that at this moment they will only be in the room where they fell in their sleep. Liang was crushed to death, how could he save his life, and even protect his important property.
I don't know who shouted "Long live the emperor", which attracted countless people to kowtow in the direction of the palace, wishing to set up a longevity tablet for the emperor. As for the fact that the emperor is only thirteen years old, it is not a big deal for the common people who have the idea of worshiping the royal family by nature.
They don't care whether the emperor is old or young, ugly or beautiful, anyway, the emperor was dreamed of by the ancestors as soon as he ascended the throne, so that all the people in the capital escaped, it means that the emperor must be a wise master.
Compared with the ordinary people who had been listening to the imperial court and hid from their houses early, some noble families in the capital were not so lucky. Because they didn't take the little emperor seriously in their hearts, they thought that the Earthquake's talk was just alarmist.
Therefore, they were still asleep when they were shaken by the ground. Although most of them escaped under the protection of their loyal servants, there were still some casualties and countless property losses.
The Sima family also suffered a lot of losses, and the people in the three rooms looked at the messy mansion, and they all had lingering fears.
Sima Ling, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, still had tears on her face, her hair was messed up, and she no longer had the usual calm and pride. Sima Xiang, who was comforting her in a low voice, was not much better. Not only was her hair messy, but her clothes were stained with dust.
The Sima family can't tell how hard they are now. Although their family is supposed to be the mother family of the little emperor, they are not too close to the little emperor, and they don't even look at his emperor's way, so for the past six months, they just guarded each other. There is no friendship at all in the ceremony of the ruler and the minister.
More importantly, the little emperor seemed to be closer to the upstarts and less prominent families, which made them even more dissatisfied. They didn't care much about the earthquake this time. This is the place where several dynasties prospered. For nearly a thousand years, there has never been a record of earthquake movement.
The little emperor had an inexplicable dream, and was preached a few words by the Gu family, so he believed it to be true, and posting such a notice easily is simply disturbing people's hearts.
The Li family also had the same idea as the Sima family. Under the influence of their two families, there were a few other families who didn't move much, so they became the families that suffered the most damage in this earthquake.
As a result, before they had time to grieve, another person came from the palace. It was said that after the earthquake, the Dinosaur was still not asleep, and I hope you all act carefully.
A few big families who didn't take the little emperor's words seriously before, now looked back at their messy mansion, and honestly let their servants build a shack, and lived in it in a very embarrassing way.
Sure enough, in the next few days, the earth shook several times, sometimes heavy, sometimes light, so that no one dared to sleep at ease, but any slight shaking would wake up from sleep.
Fortunately, this time, because of the precautions in advance, and the only place affected by the disaster is the boundary of the capital, there are not many casualties, but some houses collapsed and property losses were just. Fortunately, Dafeng's treasury is not short of money, and the Ministry of Household quickly allocated the first disaster relief funds after a rough count.
This move made the little emperor gain a lot of popular support. Even because of this matter, he also had the right to speak in the court. I don't know if it was because he won the hearts of the people, or if the courtiers were frightened and believed in the dream of the Jin family ancestor.
The people of today are still in awe of ghosts and gods. Even many scholars claim that they do not believe in gods, do not worship gods, and worship their ancestors very much.
Since Gu Changling entered the palace with "Anecdote", Gu Rujiu has not seen him until the aftershock disappeared, and she followed her mother, brother and sister-in-law back to the city in a carriage, only to see the father who was picking them up at the gate of the city.
After a few days of repairs, the clutter in the capital can no longer be seen when it was just hit by the disaster. Although there are fewer pedestrians on the street than before, normal order has been restored. The vendors are also selling along the street, and the goods are piled up on the stalls.
Seeing this scene, Gu Rujiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this little emperor is not an indecisive person, but if her father encountered a timid emperor, the consequences of this disaster would be unpredictable.
Thank goodness, her father's eyes are not bad, this little emperor is a person who dares to gamble and fight, and takes the safety of the people in his heart.
If the late emperor was still alive, her father might not have been able to do this so smoothly.
The house of the Marquis of Ningping has not been damaged much. Although the furnishings in the house are damaged, the valuable things have already been taken out by them, so they can live in after packing.
"The people from the Ministry of Works have already seen it, and our mansion can live in peace." Seeing his wife and children, Gu Changling's tired face also became more smiling, while talking about his arrangements for the past few days, he brought people into the house collar.
"Father, when I entered the city just now, I seemed to see the clan emblems of our family and several other noble families in the place where the porridge was served," Gu Rujiu held Gu Changling's sleeve and stepped over the high threshold, "It is to provide the common people for free. food?"
"Jiujiu is really smart." The more Gu Changling looked at her daughter, the more she felt that her daughter was a big lucky star. If it wasn't for her to remind him this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have thought of the earthquake. Not much loss. Giving porridge and rice is also to accumulate virtue for future generations.”
"Well," Gu Rujiu nodded heavily and said in a sweet voice, "Daddy is a good person."
Gu Changling looked extremely happy when she got a good person card from her daughter. She bent down to pick up her daughter and let Gu Rujiu sit on her arms. Then he smiled and said, "Tomorrow Daddy will take you into the palace to see the Queen Mother and the Emperor." He also said He didn't tell his daughter that the queen mother and the emperor already knew that the "Anecdote" was reminded by her, and he went to find it.
"Do you want to see even the emperor?" Ashamed to say, although she has spent a lot of time in the palace in the past six months, she has never seen what the little emperor looks like.
The first time the emperor sat in the imperial chariot, and the second time he lay on the dragon bed behind the gauze, he never had the chance to see the true face of the little beauty.
"The child is so old, what do you look like when you hold it," Yang shi was angry and funny, "please put it down soon."
"The rules are made for outsiders to see. In front of my own family, it's natural to come here as I feel comfortable," Gu Changling said in a plausible manner, "My own daughter, I am willing to spoil, what others can say."
When Gu Rujiu heard the words, she leaned on Gu Changling's shoulder and giggled. When Yang saw her daughter's blushing face, she couldn't hold her serious face any longer, and she also showed a little smile.
In the Qiankun Palace, Jin Yang finished writing the last stroke, put the pen down and looked at it carefully for a long time. He felt that he still did not have the character of Mr. Gu, so he shook his head helplessly.
"Bai Xian," he beckoned to Bai Xian, "Master Gu's daughter, have you seen it?" Mr. Gu is his most respected teacher, the teacher's daughter, and he should take care of him. A few days ago, the queen mother wanted to promote the second daughter of Mr. Xian as the county king. With the great contribution of the husband this time, he could give him a great reward.
"Your Majesty, the slave has not seen the Gu family's daughters, but I heard that the eldest daughter of Gu Hou married into the Zhang family last year, and the husband and wife were in harmony with Zhang Jialang. The second daughter is ten years old, with a gentle personality, and is very popular with Gu Hou. Even the Empress Dowager likes Second Miss Gu very much, so she often announces her to go to the palace to accompany her." Bai Xian paused for a while, then said, "Only half a year ago, Miss Gu's frame and your imperial carriage met on the palace road, slave Accidentally glanced at her, Yuxue was born cute, and her aura was compelling, so it's no wonder that Lord Gu treats her like an eyeball, and even the two sons are not as well-loved by her parents as her."
Hearing Bai Xian's mention of half a year ago, Jin Yang thought of the little girl standing beside the palace road with her head down Covering most of the white tender cheeks.
Could that little girl be Mr. Gu's daughter
