After she finished speaking, Yinzhen sighed and said: "The queen's foot injury cannot move around, and the queen mother is ill and Wu Xia is not taking care of her. You should take more care of the harem. The most important thing now is to rescue the people who are pressed.
And arrange it properly. As for the repair of the damaged palace...I will meet with the Ministry of Works tomorrow to take charge of this matter."
Nian glanced at Ling Ruo, who was standing behind Yinzhen, and said, "I understand that I will handle this matter well. It's just that the harem is so big, and I am alone, even if I have three heads and six arms, I can't be afraid."
Zhou Quan, can you ask Concubine Xi to help me take care of things together?" She was so busy that she couldn't see Ling Ruo having an easy time, and she still followed Yinzhen in and out.
Yinzhen knew that what she said was the truth, and immediately said: "That's fine, Ruo'er, you can help Su Yan deal with this matter."
"I was just thinking about how to share the emperor's worries, and now it's just the right time." Ling Ruo lowered her eyebrows and said with a gentle and gentle expression.
After Yinzhen left, Nian glanced at Ling Ruo and said with a half-smile, "My sister is really good at talking. I guess it was through this mouth that I got to sit in the position of Concubine Xi, right?"
Faced with her deliberate sarcasm, Ling Ruo didn't get angry and just said calmly: "Do you want to chat with me here, or go to the palaces to save people?"
After being choked by her, Nian snorted and said nothing. The hands hidden in her sleeves were quietly clenched. A letter was lying safely in her sleeves, with five beautiful fonts written on the envelope: Nian.
The royal concubine personally opened the ceremony.
Let’s say that after Yinzhen returned to the felt shed in front of the Yangxin Hall, he just sat down and washed his face when he saw Li Dequan rushing in with a memorial in his hand. He knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince of Tongzhou
Emergency report from hundreds of miles away!"
Yinzhen's heart trembled, knowing that this must be a report about the earthquake, so he quickly took it and opened it. The report said that during the day, an earthquake occurred in Sanhe and Pinggu areas. From Tongzhou to Sanhe, all the city walls collapsed.
All civilians who are less than
They were crushed below, and the corpses were piled up into hills. There were very few survivors. After the two major earthquakes, only a few dozen rooms remained that had not collapsed. The rest were in ruins, and the county government office was no exception. The ground cracked.
, Heishui brings sand out of Liuhetun,
The ground in the Pangezhuang area sank from several feet to more than ten feet. As for Pinggu, it was even more serious. Houses and pagodas and temples were completely wiped out, the ground was cracked for more than ten feet, and all the fields were destroyed. There were also landslides on the east mountain and water wells deformed. Tens of them in the entire county
Sixty-seven people were crushed to death
Perhaps because the ground collapsed, there were very few survivors. The specific damage and casualties have yet to be counted. However, judging from the situation written in the memorial, it is really not optimistic. And this is only near the capital, and no one can be sure about other places.
There are no earthquakes anywhere.
"Where is the messenger now?" Yinzhen asked, folding the folding paper.
"If you want to return to the emperor, just wait outside." Li Dequan replied quickly after hearing this.
"As he comes in, I have something to ask him personally." The situation in Tongzhou cannot be explained clearly by just one report, not to mention how the traffic along the road is. We also need to inquire carefully.
"Slave, let him come in now." Li Dequan replied and was about to get up. Unexpectedly, his legs and feet didn't work. Before he could stand up, he fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time. Since the earthquake, Li Dequan has been ordered to run around, going here and there.
, never stopping for a moment. He was already old and frail, and he had been injured on his forehead and bled a lot. He was mentally depressed and exhausted. He could only hold on in one breath.
Sixi saw that Li Dequan had fallen down and couldn't get up, and subconsciously wanted to help him, but then he remembered that he was in front of Yinzhen, so he resisted the idea of taking a step out, but the next moment, there was a sound in his ears.
Yinzhen's voice said, "Help your master up."
Si Xi quickly agreed and helped Li Dequan up quickly with hands and feet. Unexpectedly, the latter had to kneel down again before he could stand up, and said in panic: "I have violated the rules before you, Your Majesty. Please forgive me."
Yinzhen sighed softly. Although he was stern but not mean, he waved his hand and said: "I don't blame you, go down and have a rest. I just have Sixi waiting here."
Sixi helped Li Dequan, who had expressed his gratitude, go down. When he came in again, he was followed by a thin man with a dusty face. Relying on the clothes on his body, Yinzhen could barely identify that he should be a postman. Sure enough, he
Zhan Zhan said tremblingly: "The villain, Tongzhou Postmaster Ma San, kowtows to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
"Get up." Yinzhen pinched the bridge of his nose and asked tiredly, "Did you send me the discount?"
This was the first time in his life that Ma San saw the lofty Emperor. He was so frightened that he did not even dare to raise his head. He stared at his black fingertips propped on the ground and said, "The words I sent back to the Emperor are exactly what I sent you."
"What is the situation in Tongzhou now? Are the roads still smooth? Are there people from the county government office still alive?" The memorial was written by the magistrate of Tongzhou Prefecture. Presumably he is alive, but the others have no way of knowing.
Speaking of the current state of Tongzhou, Ma San's body was shaking. Big drops of turbid tears rolled down his cheeks and dripped on the stone bricks. He sobbed: "Your Majesty, there is a disaster in Tongzhou. There are countless casualties. The villain's family
They are all dead, only the villains
One person happened to escape a disaster outside at that time. The little girl was still pregnant at the time. The doctor who had visited her before said that the baby was probably a boy. Wow... They died so miserably. The villain was even the last one.
Can't see a single face."
Seeing that he was only talking about himself, Si Xi hurriedly reminded: "The emperor is asking you about the road conditions in Tongzhou and the people in the county government office. You can just tell me what your family does, why don't you hurry up..."
"It doesn't matter." Yinzhen stopped Si Xi. He saw a microcosm of the entire Tongzhou in Ma San. Moreover, he could bear the great sorrow of his family's loss and send Zhezi to the palace, which can be regarded as a loyal duty.
Ma San also realized that what he said was inappropriate, and quickly wiped his tears and said: "When I go back to the emperor, my servant came to the capital on the only horse in the inn that was not killed. When he came out, the road was barely clear.
Can pass, but then there are big rocks coming from the mountain
It rolled down and blocked the official road. Now I'm afraid it won't be easy to go back. As for the government office and county government office..." The tears that had just been wiped away fell again, "Almost everyone is dead, only the prefect is lucky to be alive.
He fell down, but his foot was also injured..."
"In addition, the prefect also said that the earthquake was so strong this time that I was afraid there would be earthquakes in other places." Ma San was full of sadness and despair.
Yinzhen closed his eyes and took a deep breath. I don't know how many people will die in this earthquake. One Tongzhou is not the whole disaster. "Fixi, immediately announce to Prince Baylor, Cabinet, Jiuqing, Zhan Shi, Ke, Dao officials
Enter the palace to discuss disaster relief."
The most important thing to avoid in disaster relief is delay. The sooner the better. Those who are trapped inside still have a chance to survive. Moreover, the roads are blocked and the people inside cannot get out. If the traffic is not opened quickly, the people inside will eventually die even if they are still alive.
After receiving the order, all the officials who received the order entered the palace as quickly as possible overnight to discuss earthquake relief together. They themselves were also affected to varying degrees by the earthquake. One of the Dali Temple ministers even
