Chapter two hundred and forty-nine natural disasters come

Chen Danxia speculated through the abnormality of animals that there might be an earthquake, while Dow and Gao Ju dug out the earth from the depths of memory through the abnormality of animals. In memory, the earth was in midnight on the first day of September. The loud noise was like thunder, the ground cracked and boiled water like a spring, and the collapsed houses totaled more than 10,000, damaged nearly 20,000, killed more than 500 people and injured more than 10,000 people.

According to historical records, there are 100,000 families in Jincheng, and there is no end to the building. There is smoke in front of the streets and alleys, and the emperor's son, officials and people stay in the open fields. Gao Ju was determined to become a wise ruler. He did not want to see such a large casualty again, so he decided to tell this matter out and let everyone take precautions in advance. But there is no evidence. How could he convince his father to issue a notice to the people of the whole city to pay attention?

Tao also warned people to guard against others, but she was worried that she would make people say that she would confuse the public. Finally, after discussing with Tao Kan, she decided to secretly inform some close and tight-lipped families. Just as Tao was arranging the servants to pack up their things and prepare to move to the suburbs, Gao Ju visited.

After Ping left the man, Gao Yu did not immediately talk about the earth's movement, but asked Tao, "Mother, do you know Lingyuan?"

"Ling Yuan? What did you ask her?" Tao asked in confusion.

"Mother, I'll explain to you later. You will answer my question first. Do you know what kind of person she is? Where is she now?" Gao Ju asked.

"Lingyuan is the Empress's personal maid. Her surname is Yang. She was originally an official daughter. She was exiled because her grandfather angered the Supreme Emperor. Lingyuan was sold by the Guansousi and bought it back by the Empress, who was the eldest girl of the Xiangqing Hou Mansion at that time. Then she kept serving her by Miss Zhao and married her into the Crown Princess. She was a kind-hearted girl." Tao recalled.

"When did she not serve the Queen?" Gao Ju asked.

Tao lowered his head and thought for a while, looked up at Gao Ju, looked away, and said, "The master's official position is not high. I have never seen the Crown Princess much, I don't know much..."

"Mother, please tell me, mother, she... she is very likely to be my biological mother." Gao Qi grabbed Dow's hand, and the following words were almost unheard.

Dow looked at Gao Ju in shock, "How come you think this way?"

"Because of some clues, I found something, but it was not enough to be sure, so mother, please tell me." Gao Ju said with a serious expression.

Tao licked his lips and said, "When I think about it now, it seems that the Crown Princess has never seen her again after she announced her pregnancy. In fact, although you look like the emperor, you can still see Ling Yuan's shadow between your eyebrows and eyes."

Gao Ju closed his eyes and tried to suppress the sorrow that gushed in his heart. Tao took out a hand and gently stroked his cheek. After a long time, Gao Ju opened his eyes and asked, "Mother, where do you think the Queen will hide her?"

Tao sighed, "Ji, with the Queen's methods, the Yuan is probably in danger."

"Where will her corpse be buried?" Gao Ju also knew that Zhao Hou would not let her biological mother go.

Tao shook her head, she really didn't know about this. She didn't have much date with Empress Zhao in her dream, and she would have even fewer in this life.

"I'll go find my father, and my father may know." Gao Ju stood up and said.

Dow grabbed him, "No, he doesn't know, don't go to him."

"Mother?" Gao Qiu turned around and looked at Dow. Dow's reaction was too intense.

Dow grabbed him tightly, "Ji, don't go to him, he will kill you."

"He will kill me, how could it be?" Gao Ju asked with a frown.

Tao hesitated for a moment and said, "Zhi'er, the reason why he saved you is not because he is loyal to the emperor, but because he loves Empress Zhao. There is an unknown love entanglement between him and Empress Zhao. If he knows that you suspect that you are not Empress Zhao's son, he will tell Empress Zhao truthfully. Then you will be in danger."

Gao Ju opened his mouth wide in shock.

"Zhi'er, you promise me that you must not go to him to ask about this matter. You can go to the other people around the Empress to ask about this matter carefully, but don't look for Chen Muke. He is loyal to the Empress and will never betray her." Tao grabbed Gao Ju's arm, "Zhi'er, everything is important, and you must not be impulsive. Your biological mother will not want you to find a corpse for her at the cost of your life."

Gao Ju looked at the nervous-looking Tao, and felt warm in his heart and called out: "Mother."

"Ji'er, you promise me, you promise me, promise me." Dow said anxiously.

"I promise you that I won't go to find him." Gao Ju said righteously.

Dow smiled with confidence.

"Mother, there is also something about the earth moving. I want to tell my father, but I have no limits on my words. My father cannot believe me." Gao Ju said distressedly.

"I'm also afraid that people will say something that I am so slandering, so I dare not say anything." Tao said helplessly. Knowing that a natural disaster is about to come, I can't do anything, which is very frustrating.

The mother and son were frowning. At this time, a commotion suddenly came from outside, and then Zhaocai heard loudly say, "Madam, the third aunt is back."

"This child is full of belly and is uneasy at his mother-in-law's house. What should I do when I run back to my mother?" Tao complained and walked out.

Gao Ju thought to himself and said, "Mother, let Xiaojiumei come in. One person is short-sighted and three are the best-sighted. Maybe Xiaojiumei can solve the problem for us."

Dow hesitated for a moment, "Okay, I'll ask her to come in."

After a while, Chen Danxia came in with Tao. Seeing Gao Ju in the house, Chen Danxia's eyes flashed, "Brother Yu, are you here to drink frankincense tea again?"

"Yes." Gao Jing smiled.

Chen Danxia sat down, and Tao stuffed a soft pillow behind her, "Let's lean."

After the Tao was seated, Gao Yu continued the topic just now. Because Chen Danxia had guessed that both Tao and Gao Yu were reborn, they said that an earthquake would occur, and then there would be an earthquake. Chen Danxia did not experience the earthquake personally, but had participated in the rescue work after the earthquake.

After the earthquake, the place where I saw was full of devastation, and the walls were broken, so I couldn't bear to look at it. Chen Danxia also agreed with their intentions and warned in advance. Of course, she didn't want them to fall into rumors and pondered for a moment: "I have seen the description of earthquakes and earthquakes in the manuscript of Zhang Dacaizi of the previous dynasty, which is very similar to what is happening now."

"Where is the manuscript?" Gao Zhi asked anxiously.

"I'll go back and find it later and let Brother Lang give it to you." Chen Danxia said with a smile.

"Okay, if you find it, let Xu Lang give it to me. Things are urgent and move quickly." Gao Ju said solemnly.

"I know, I'll go back now." Chen Danxia stood up and said.

When he walked to the door, Chen Danxia stopped and turned around and said, "Brother Qi, when you talk to the emperor, you can give the emperor a suggestion, that is, it is the ancestors who send a dream. Recently, something big happened in Beijing, so you need to prepare in advance, etc.."

"Why?" Gao Yu was puzzled.

Chen Danxia's eyelashes trembled slightly and said, "Earth movement is a natural disaster. If it is used by someone who is determined, it will become a punishment of heaven." Chen Danxia suddenly remembered a record in history books that when an emperor was in power, the earth movement occurred, and wrote a letter of guilt to calm the public's grievances.

Gao Ju knew it and smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder of Xiaojiumei."

Chen Danxia smiled, opened the door and walked out, and went back to Xu's house to find the manuscript of Zhang Shancong. Tao asked Gao Ju a few more words before sending him away. Looking at Gao Ju's figure as he was leaving, Tao's lips curled up and said in a vague way, "Chen Muke, your death has finally arrived."

Chen Danxia returned home and soon found the manuscript. He turned to the page recording the earthquake, which read "The well water was quiet and without waves, suddenly as mud, mud slag floated up, and the earthquake was bound to be earthquake; the sky was clear and the sky was clear, and suddenly it saw blackness like wisps, stranding like a long snake, spreading across the sky, and it would not dissipate for a long time. This was an earthquake cloud; it was midsummer, and the heat was steaming, sweating like rain, and suddenly felt cool, like being affected by ice and snow, and the air was cold, which was a sign of a dragon turning over from the ground; birds did not return to their nests, rats came out in the sun, dogs shrank their tails and barked, and chickens held their wings against the ground, and the earthquake was coming; when encountering these scenes, it was advisable to avoid unexpected disasters."

When the manuscript was found, Chen Danxia immediately asked Mo Shi to send the manuscript to Xu Lang and asked him to hand it over to the eldest prince Gao Yu. This kind of contribution that benefits the people and selfishness is very good.

Gao Ju, who received the manuscript, did not delay and immediately went to the emperor. When he learned that the emperor was in Qiyi Palace, although Gao Ju suspected that Empress Zhao was not his biological mother, he followed the advice of Tao. Even if there was conclusive evidence in the future, he could not make this matter public on the day when he was in power. He could only be the son of Empress Zhao in this life.

Gao Ju packed up his mood and entered Qiyi Palace with the manuscript and reported the matter to the emperor. The emperor looked at the records in the manuscript for a long time, but Empress Zhao scolded him and said, "I think you are confused about reading. You can also report these nonsense to your father. It is extremely stupid. I don't know how your gentlemen taught you?"

Gao Feng's hand clenched in his sleeve, clenched his fists tightly.

The emperor closed the letter and said, "Your heart is good, but once the notice is released, it will cause panic among the people in the capital. If the earth does not happen in the end, I will have no face to face the subjects of the world."

"Father, the earth will definitely happen. Please think of the trusted minister." Gao Ju begged.

"Believe in you? How do you want your father to believe in you? Just rely on such a manuscript?" Zhao Hou reached out and grabbed the book from the emperor's hand and threw it on the ground. "Qi'er, you are not young anymore. Last time I went to the border, but why did you make trouble again this time? When will you still make trouble?"

"My son is not making a fuss." Gao Yu looked up at Zhao Hou, his eyes cold.

Empress Zhao was startled by his gaze, calmed down for a moment, and shouted angrily: "What's your look? What's wrong? I said you're so terrible?"

Gao Ju felt nervous. He knew that he had been obsessed with him and hurriedly lowered his head, "Mother, the son minister is just anxious, and the father, the emperor and the mother do not trust the son minister."

"Zhi'er, there is no distrust of you, it's just that it's important, and I have to be cautious." The emperor said in a deep voice.

"Father, in addition to this manuscript, Erchen also had a dream. The ancestor asked his dream to Erchen, saying that the dragon of Jindu was about to turn over, and asked Erchen to tell his father to prepare early so as not to suffer any loss of life." Gao Ju had to use the method of dreaming, hoping to convince the emperor.

"I think you are getting more confused as you grow bigger. Don't you know that dreams are against each other?" Zhao Hou asked sternly.

"Mother, what if the dream comes true?" Gao Ju asked.

"Impossible." Zhao Hou said decisively.

Gao Ju took a deep breath and said, "Father, can you send a notice in the name of the son minister? If there is any mistake, the son minister is willing to bear it with all his strength."

The emperor hesitated. Empress Zhao measured the pros and cons, made up her mind, and said, "Your child is really not going to hit the wall and never look back. Long lively, you just promise him. It doesn't matter if he is young and makes some mistakes."

Gao Ju looked at Zhao Hou and felt cold in his heart; what future would be for the prince with stigma? Because he was not her biological son, she wanted to get rid of him and make way for her biological son. Unfortunately, her plan would be disappointed, and the earth would definitely stop as expected.

The next day, the notice was posted. The general idea was that the eldest prince dreamed of the late emperor a few days ago. The late emperor specially asked the eldest prince to dream of the eldest prince. Some major incidents have happened recently. After the eldest prince woke up, he was uneasy and reported the matter to the emperor. It happened that the imperial prison observed the celestial phenomena at night and also discovered astrological changes. In the past few days, the chaos and fish leaped and muddy in the water were omens, so he hereby informed the people, so that everyone would be careful to turn over the earth in the past two days and take precautions.

With this notice, the Tao family, Shen Danxia, ​​Renyi Bo Mansion, Pingjiang Hou Mansion, Yongning Hou Mansion, Changning Hou Mansion and Cheng family could pack up their things in a legitimate manner and go to the suburbs. Of course, some people were willing to believe the notice and moved away from their families, while others were skeptical and unwilling to leave.

Mrs. Xu stared at Shen Meng, "You really have to go with us?"

"A dream is not trustworthy, I won't leave." Shen Jingang sat steadily in the chair and fanned her.

"If you don't leave, go, wait until the ground moves, don't regret it." Although Mrs. Xu didn't like this daughter-in-law, she didn't want something to happen to her.

"Mother, there will be no earth movement, it's just a sensation." Shen Jingang smiled, "The master is not allowed to leave the city when he works as a yamen. There must be someone in this family to serve him."

Seeing this, Mrs. Xu did not force her to take her three granddaughter-in-law and Xu Xu, the only granddaughter who had not yet left the house, to the carriage and go to the city gate. When she arrived at the city gate, she met Tao and others who were waiting there. Shen Muke also wanted to serve him, and Dong Qixiu also wanted to serve him without any companions, and left Shen Danbi. In order for the smooth progress of the marriage, Shen Dannian did not dare to ignore Tao's words, so she went out of the city with her.

At noon, while simply eating lunch on the roadside, Tao thought for a long time along the way, and then said to Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Yuan, Mrs. Yan and others: "Actually, I also had a dream. The earth was very moving in the dream this time. I was worried that the suburbs were not safe. I think we might as well go away and go to Changping County to avoid it. I wonder what you think?"

Mrs. Xu thought for a while and said in unison: "Listen to you, go to Changping County."

Dow smiled with relief.

There were too many people and too many luggage. It took two days to walk to Changping County on the morning of September 1st. Shen Baiyu was not surprised to see a lot of people like his mother, sister, wife, mother-in-law, grandmother and aunt, because he had received the news from the eldest prince. Shen Baiyu had booked an inn in the city to settle everyone. He ran all the way, but everyone had not eaten or slept well. After taking a shower, he went to bed to rest.
