Qin Jiyan was ten miles away from the city gate when the horse suddenly went crazy. Qin Jiyan realized something was wrong and pulled the reins, but moved on the spot before he could stop.
The moment the ground shook, Qin Jiyan was almost thrown off the horse. If it weren't for his superb riding skills and quick reaction, he wouldn't have been injured.
The capital city was the area where the earthquake was most serious, and the situation outside the city was slightly better. Qin Jiyan only felt waves of shaking on the ground, which did not affect his walking. However, the war horse was frightened and could not move forward at all. Qin Jiyan tried to soothe his crotch
I have tried several times to get off the horse, but to no avail.
There was no other way, Qin Jiyan had no choice but to let go of the horse, and then directly use Qinggong to enter the city.
Fortunately, the journey was only ten miles, and Qin Jiyan was only slightly out of breath during the whole journey, which did not have much impact.
When Qin Jiyan rushed to the city gate, a wave of aftershocks happened to pass by. Seeing ordinary people lining up to go out one by one, Qin Jiyan was very surprised. Who could act so quickly and actually arrange for people to evacuate the people? Could it be Feng Sijin
?
But it’s wrong to think about it. It has been less than half an hour since the earthquake happened. The Feng family is in the center of the city. It takes half an hour to get to the city gate. How could they rush to the city gate to evacuate the people at this time?
.
If it wasn't Feng Sijin, who could it be?
Before Qin Jiyan could ask questions, he heard the people leaving the city talking, "Master Liu is such a good man. It's so dangerous in the city, but he doesn't leave."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Liu is so kind. My grandson was trapped under a roof beam, and it was he who sent someone to rescue my grandson."
"Oh, is your grandson okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay. My grandson's life is good. He hid under the table and was not crushed. He met a noble man again, so he was saved."
"My brother was also trapped in the house. I wanted to stay and save my brother, but the official said I was too young and asked me to leave the city first and they would rescue me. I wonder if they rescued my brother?"
"My child, don't be afraid, Mr. Liu is here. Mr. Liu has not left. He has been in the city and will definitely rescue your brother."
…
All the people, regardless of men, women, old or young, were praising Mr. Liu and remembering his good qualities.
There is no doubt that Mr. Liu really succeeded this time. He succeeded in winning the hearts of the people and gained a bargaining chip with Qin Jiyan.
"Master Liu, Liu Zhengqing? He is quite a smart man. However, the reason why he will appear at the city gate at this time is worth pondering." Although Qin Jiyan has been on the road, he has never lost contact with the capital.
Qin Jiyan remembered the troublemakers in the capital one by one. As soon as he heard the people talking about Mr. Liu, Qin Jiyan knew who they were, and he could also guess why he appeared during the earthquake.
At the city gate.
"You are really brave to dare to confront me." Qin Jiyan admired Liu Zhengqing very much.
After he took sole power, he dared to jump out and fight for power with him. He was not only brave but also really smart.
Yes, Qin Jiyan admired Liu Zhengqing very much. Even though Liu Zhengqing was targeting him everywhere now, he still admired Liu Zhengqing's intelligence and ambition.
As Liu Zhengqing thought, he did not want all the courtiers to twist together and form a large interest group. He wanted the courtiers to have camps and opposing sides.
Just like civil servants and generals, just like the elite and the powerful, just like the aristocratic family and the humble family. There must be disputes and struggles in the court, otherwise everyone will be harmonious and united, then...
When they make mistakes, you will protect me and I will protect you. Without mutual supervision and mutual supervision, things will really get chaotic.
Liu Zhengqing appeared at the right time, and he also chose this time very well. Without the two external forces of Prince Rong and King Zhou, Qin Jiyan was worried that all the courtiers would unite together, and it would be very dangerous for one family to dominate. Liu Zhengqing
It just appeared.
Liu Zhengqing has made a clear plan and is going to fight against Feng Shoufu and others who firmly support him. Qin Jiyan will naturally support him. There are two forces fighting in the court. Only when there are people to supervise each other can he manage the government affairs with peace of mind.
Leave it behind and go overseas to look for Qiancheng.
Listening to the people's comments about Liu Zhengqing, Qin Jiyan knew that although this person was selfish and full of petty calculations, he was still someone who could do things for the people.
Just because he didn't run away in fear of death during the earthquake, but stood firmly in the city, Qin Jiyan knew that he was not a simple person.
Because of his fierceness, Qin Jiyan would give him a chance to help him up and keep the court in a state of struggle.
Because he wanted to use Liu Zhengqing, Qin Jiyan did not rush into the city, but mingled with the crowd, listening to the people's evaluation of him and watching his arrangements for post-disaster handling.
Listening to and watching this journey... Qin Jiyan just wanted to say that Liu Zhengqing was indeed smart and capable. Based on his performance in this earthquake, even if he wanted to touch Liu Zhengqing, he could not.
In the hearts of the people, he is a fool. Even if he tells the people of the world that Liu Zhengqing's family has made an unknown amount of money over the years by using their privileges, the people will not believe it. Instead, they will say that he wanted to kill Liu Zhengqing.
, and made up groundless charges for Liu Zhengqing. "How can I not use such a talent." Although he used Liu Zhengqing, he would definitely be awkward for a long time. But with Liu Zhengqing, he could sue and restrain other officials and balance the power of the court, so it was
No matter how far apart he is, he will still use this person.
Without Liu Zhengqing, he couldn't guarantee that there would still be someone like Liu Zhengqing who could see the situation clearly and take the initiative to "share the worries" for him; nor could he guarantee that someone who could see the situation clearly would have Liu Zhengqing's courage and talent; what's more,
There is no guarantee that even if he has the courage and financial resources, that person will not be more objectionable than Liu Zhengqing.
Both of them are annoying characters, and Qin Jiyan doesn't care who he uses. Anyway, as long as he uses it smoothly, it doesn't matter whether it suits him or not.
After watching for a while, Qin Jiyan took advantage of the chaos in the city and sneaked into the city quietly without alerting anyone.
The city lost its former prosperity and liveliness due to the earthquake. The sounds of vendors and passers-by bargaining were replaced by wails and wails. Almost all the shops and houses on both sides of the road collapsed. As far as the eye can see, except for the city walls,
There is no complete building.
Even if a house collapses, it is still a trivial matter. These can be rebuilt. The most tragic thing is the people buried under the ruins.
Officials and some young adults were working hard to clean up the ruins, trying to rescue the people buried inside. However, most of the people were already dead when they were brought up. The corpses were laid out in rows. Some relatives saw them and held the corpses.
pain……
Qin Jiyan stood aside, looked at it for a while, and then silently blended into the crowd without saying anything.
Natural disasters are punishments sent down by God, and there is nothing he can do...
