Jiangdu King Liu Yan stood in front of the city wall that was blown down by the hurricane, and stared blankly at everything.
The fierce hurricane completely destroyed the twelve-foot-long city wall, leaving only a piece of rubble.
Some residential areas in the west of the city were also devastated, with hundreds of houses collapsed.
You know, this Guangling City was Liu Bi’s hometown in the past!
Its sturdiness is said to be no less than that of Chang'an. Even some of the craftsmen who initially participated in the construction were Chang'an craftsmen who were transferred from Shaofu.
For decades, Liu Bi has used Guangling as his base camp for construction.
But such a strong city is as fragile as paper amid the wrath of nature.
The officials and common people standing in front of the rubble were as dumbfounded as Liu Yan, and even frightened. At this time, they had no other thoughts except kneeling on the ground in fear, facing Chang'an, and shouting "long live" three times.
Many people knew that without the emperor's warning, the people and gentry of Jiangdu might have died in countless numbers this time.
Even Guangling City, a fortified city in the world, looks like paper in the face of that terrible hurricane. You can only imagine what other county towns will look like at this moment!
"Your Majesty is sacred and your ancestors have blessed you..." Countless people knelt on the ground and kowtowed, fearful of their previous slander, suspicion and petty calculations.
The emperor proved that he was the emperor who was ordered by heaven and recognized by heaven, earth, ghosts and gods.
So, how can we, those who are suspicious, slanderous and even have secret thoughts, hide themselves from God, tomorrow and the earth?
Many people even feel that in the dark, under the sky, there is a pair of omniscient and omnipotent eyes patrolling the heaven and earth.
The Han people firmly believe that under the god Taiyi, there are sometimes eight gods such as the sun, yin, yang, moon, and soldiers, etc. to assist the supreme king of the universe in controlling everything in the universe in the present, past, and future.
The emperor is ordered by heaven and theoretically has the power to communicate with all ghosts and gods.
And the true emperor will definitely be able to get help from the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth.
Facing this unknown force, everyone had no other choice but to kowtow in fear and apologize.
On the other hand, the citizens and sergeants at the bottom were all frightened but had happy looks on their faces.
The Son of Heaven is ordered by Heaven, and Heaven and Earth protect him.
With such an emperor who can communicate with the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, what should we be afraid of?
In the future, the divine emperor will be able to give early warnings of droughts, floods, locusts, and all kinds of disasters.
In this case, what do you have to worry about?
The morale of the people quickly turned towards Chang'an.
It even reached an unprecedented peak.
…………………………………………
News of the approaching hurricane spread in all directions along the Yangtze River.
One day later, the victims who took refuge in Pengcheng received this shocking news from their hometown. An unprecedented hurricane hit the twelve cities west of Guangling, leaving almost no tiles in its path.
Countless people were stunned.
After reacting, everyone's choices were similar to those of the people in Guangling City.
Immediately he knelt down, kowtowed towards Chang'an, and said: "Your Majesty is holy and wise. Your Majesty is mighty!"
There is no other explanation for such a thing except divine power.
Of course, some people are still not convinced due to lack of personal experience.
Especially those gentry who were forcibly moved here.
It’s not like everyone has never encountered storms or anything like that.
The summer in Wu is very windy, and sometimes hurricanes can even occur that destroy entire villages.
But so what?
These gentry have long had experience in dealing with strong winds.
Every summer, they leave their homes where they have lived for generations and head to the city.
No matter how powerful the storm is, it can't destroy a city, right?
But then, more detailed intelligence and information came from Guangling.
Seven cities including Sheyang and Gaoyou were damaged by the hurricane. Hundreds of villages west of Guangling were razed to the ground by the storm.
Hundreds of thousands of acres of grain fields were destroyed.
The number of collapsed and dilapidated buildings is impossible to estimate.
In addition, dozens of roads leading to the East China Sea were destroyed by floods, and hundreds of bridges collapsed.
Officials sent by Guangling City to inspect the area only had words such as shock, horror, confusion, and terror in their report.
Even Guangling City, one of the most fortified cities in the world, had a twelve-foot-long wall blown down by the hurricane, and hundreds of houses collapsed.
At this time, those stubborn gentry, landlords and bureaucrats broke into cold sweat all over their bodies.
The walls of Guangling City have collapsed, let alone other small cities.
Everyone was really lucky at this time. The emperor made his own decision and forcibly took everyone away from the dangerous place.
Otherwise, at this moment, I am afraid that everyone is already dead, and there is no reason for the wife and children at home to be spared.
Everyone knows why there are storms in Wudi almost every year, and why this time even the gods gave a warning to the emperor.
Because this storm is so terrible and powerful.
"What a Holy Emperor..." An elder from Gaoyou County, stroking his beard, said to his nephew: "If there was no Holy Emperor and the world was arbitrary, I would be buried in the storm right now, and our bodies would be fish and shrimps."
Eaten!"
"From now on, I, the Wang family of Gaoyou, have been loyal to the king for generations and must not have any second thoughts! If the traitors from the south want to contact us again, we are not allowed to pay attention to them!" The elder gave a serious order.
This elder is a big family in Gaoyou County. The head of the Wang family, the Gaoyou Wang family, is very prestigious in the land of Wu. He has passed down poems and books from generation to generation and has many heirs. Although there are not many officials, they are
He also almost dominated the entire officialdom of Gaoyou.
It is certain that such a big business owner has a lot of eyes, and it is natural for him to have n boats.
Especially in the past, they had received a lot of preferential treatment from Liu Bi.
But now, the situation is different.
The emperor proved his sanctity and unshakable authority.
Even a pig knows that it should not fight against it or resort to petty tactics. Since the emperor can foresee disaster, can he foresee betrayal and betrayal?
Although the Wang family is only a powerful figure in Gaoyou County, normally the emperor would not know about an ant-like family in a small place like Gaoyou.
But the problem is, there are so many ghosts and gods in the world, and under the Supreme God Taiyi, there are five emperors and eight masters, and the sky is filled with stars. What if some idle guy tells the emperor something about Gaoyou in his dream?
Of course, the more important thing is that people are not wood.
They can clearly feel whether the ruler's decisions and policies are good or bad, whether they care about them or whether they have their nostrils in the air.
This time the emperor is bearing great risks and pressure.
Not even a fool can see this.
But after seeing these risks and pressures, he still had no hesitation. For the sake of his people, he was willing to take risks and forcefully push forward. Using the authority of the emperor and the credibility of the country as a guarantee, he forced this unprecedented evacuation.
What does this prove?
This proved that the emperor meant what he said in his edict.
He truly regards the people of the world as his own children, flesh and blood, and arms.
The king treats his ministers as soldiers of the country, and the ministers treat them as soldiers of the country. The king treats his ministers as trivial things, and his ministers regard him as an enemy and bandit.
The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were barely a hundred years old.
Today's scholarly public opinion in the world still has the legacy of the Warring States Period.
A favor of a meal may be repaid with life, let alone a favor of saving a life?
All the nephews in the room bowed and said: "No! I will obey your instructions!"
Situations like this occur among many refugee families.
During the reign of King Wu Liu Bi, the network and public support that took thirty or forty years to build have completely collapsed today (historically, during the Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Bi's supporters still existed, and some even wrote poems in memory of Liu Bi), almost
No feathers remain.
And the news spread further along the Yangtze River. (To be continued.)
