Qin Jiyan did not show up at the earthquake scene, nor did he return to the palace. Instead, he went directly to the royal temple.
The earthquake had a great impact, and buildings all over the capital collapsed to varying degrees, but not as seriously as at the city gate.
Because the temple is located on a mountain, there are no buildings around it. During the earthquake, almost everyone gathered in the dining hall when the temple was having lunch. Therefore, although the buildings collapsed, there were no casualties.
When Qin Jiyan arrived at the temple, the young monks in the temple were cleaning up the ruins, while the senior monk was chanting sutras and praying in front of the Buddha statue.
Qin Jiyan's guards stood firmly in their positions as if nothing had happened. Even the earthquake did not allow them to move at all.
Seeing this scene, Qin Jiyan was very satisfied and took the initiative to show up.
"Your Majesty!" As soon as Qin Jiyan appeared, the commander of the imperial army saw it. With a look of surprise on his face, he strode forward and knelt down heavily. He was so excited that he didn't know why.
When they saw the earthquake, they were worried that the emperor would not be able to come back.
"Well, get up. Get ready. I'm going back to the palace." The timing of his return was really just right. If he hadn't shown up in Beijing a day or half a day later, it would have been rumored that the emperor was frightened by the belt, or that
Saying that the emperor doesn't care about the lives and deaths of the people.
"Yes." The commander of the imperial army did not say a word. He personally escorted Qin Jiyan into the temple. It was not until the eunuch in charge came out to greet him that he turned around to make arrangements for his return to the palace.
The emperor's return to the palace was no small matter. After receiving the news, the monks in the temple came to see him off after finishing chanting sutras and praying for blessings.
The abbot in charge of the temple was very smart and knowledgeable. He never mentioned the previous commotion or whether Qin Jiyan had been in the temple. He only talked about seeing each other off.
Qin Jiyan always liked smart people. Although he was anxious to return to the palace, he still gave them the face they deserved and even invited them to the palace to pray for the people.
In the face of natural disasters, many times human power cannot change anything at all. At this time, the power of faith comes to the fore.
Buddhist masters pray for the deceased and give the living faith to survive, which is more effective than anything Guancha can say.
The emperor invited him, which was a great honor. The abbot accepted the invitation readily, but he was afraid that if he was too slow, the emperor would think he was holding a bridge.
The other party deserved to be relieved, and Qin Jiyan also gave him face, "Please make some preparations, abbot. After I return to the palace, I will immediately arrange for someone to come and invite the abbot to go."
The emperor sent someone to invite him, which was a different treatment than going to the palace himself. The presiding abbot did not show it on his face, but he was very happy in his heart. He repeatedly praised the emperor's sage and blessed the people.
These two sentences also express the position of the presiding abbot. Next, he will speak mostly for Qin Jiyan in front of the people. While promoting Buddhism, he will let more people know about the emperor's sage and kindness.
"I'll take my leave first." Qin Jiyan nodded lightly, his expression unchanged, and the abbot led the monks in the temple to send Qin Jiyan and his party down the mountain.
The Supreme Emperor asked him to move him to the window and watched Qin Jiyan and his party descending the mountain with his own eyes, his cloudy eyes almost devoid of light.
Before he knew it, his grandson had grown to a point where he admired him. He didn't need him at all and wasn't afraid of him.
He knew that those people who made trouble at the foot of the mountain all day long wanted to use him to cause trouble for Jiyan, but he didn't know that he was of no use at all and Jiyan didn't take him seriously at all.
Now he is no different from the living dead. Living is just one breath. And he has accepted his fate. He knows that he can only spend the rest of his life in the mountains and never want to have anything to do with power.
Slowly closing his eyes, the Supreme Emperor leaned against the soft body, looking like he was about to sleep. The person serving behind him immediately covered him with a blanket and thoughtfully adjusted his position.
The corners of the Emperor's lips raised slightly...
That's not bad. Ji Yan didn't neglect him no matter what, and the people he arranged around him were all thoughtful people. That was enough.
After all, when Ji Yan needed the care of his parents and elders, he just left Ji Yan to his servants. As for whether those servants were careful or not, he didn't know. Those people were all arranged by the queen, and he just said a word.
.
It now appears that the Queen did not neglect Ji Yan back then, otherwise Ji Yan would not be treating the Queen and her family favorably now.
In his life, he has been sorry to his biological father, to his wife, to his son, and to his grandson. It is no wonder that he is in this situation now, and no one else is to blame...
The Emperor's head was slumping, and he soon fell asleep. The person serving behind him immediately stepped forward and lifted the man to the bed. His movements were very gentle and did not wake him up at all.
Qin Jiyan returned to the palace from the temple with great fanfare, and even made a special appearance on the main road, allowing the Imperial Army to detour to the most severely affected areas except the city gate.
However, Qin Jiyan did not show up, and sat in the Longhu all the way. He only issued an imperial edict across the Longhu, asking people from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to come to rescue the victims, and asking the Ministry of Household Affairs to arrange for people to set up porridge shops and provide food to the victims.
Eat.
These two imperial edicts were spoken in front of the people. Although Qin Jiyan did not say it to the people personally, they were spoken by the eunuch in charge beside Qin Jiyan. No one would doubt their authenticity.
."Long live my emperor, long live him."
"The emperor is wise, the emperor is wise."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... your grace."
…
The common people are a group of greedy people, but they are also a group of people who are easily satisfied. Only a few words and a small contribution can make them burst into tears of gratitude, crawl at Qin Jiyan's feet, and shout long live.
.
Qin Jiyan, who was sitting in the dragon boat, sighed softly and did not show up to say anything. He just let the forbidden army continue to move forward.
When an earthquake occurs, the most difficult thing to deal with is not the people in distress, but the officials in the DPRK.
The group of officials headed by Liu Zhengqing will definitely not give up. After he returns to the palace, he still has a tough battle to fight.
As for the situation in the palace at this time?
He has not returned to the palace since he entered the city. He still doesn't know whether the disaster in the palace is serious or not. If the collapse of the palace is serious, things will be even more troublesome.
"Everything really happened at once." Qin Jiyan couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, inevitably worrying about Gu Qiancheng's safety. "I don't know how Qiancheng is doing now. If there is an earthquake,
I don't know how to solve these problems." Qin Jiyan leaned back and said with a headache.
There are too many things, and he... really doesn't have that much time to stay in the capital to deal with those trivial matters. His Qiancheng is still waiting for him...
