You could hear needles dropping in the imperial study room. I thought that the Wen family and their daughter could handle it well. If such a big thing happened, the two of them would be in panic. It was okay for them to take advantage of the opportunity to seek certain benefits. Who knew that Princess Annan could actually do this at such a young age?

She was so eloquent, yet General Wen's Mansion became a victim of suffering after she said this.

They are all troublemakers.

The emperor's eyes swept over everyone, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a shaking. The pens hanging on the pen holder began to swing, and the shaking became more and more severe. An old minister was shocked and said, "The earth is shaking, it's the earth shaking.

"

Earthquake?

Wen Mianmian reacted instantly, "Run quickly."

Everyone protected the emperor, and Wen Mianmian pulled her mother. The group of people hurriedly ran to a relatively safe place and stopped, and the shaking feeling disappeared.

Wen Mianmian frowned, this was an earthquake.

She has experienced earthquakes. People who have experienced them personally can say that they have relatively well studied. The houses here are all wooden structures and have excellent earthquake resistance. Especially the houses of large families have very solid foundations, but the same cannot be said for ordinary people.

I don’t know where the earthquake came from and whether it was serious or not.

At this time, all the guards in the palace were dispatched, and palace maids and eunuchs ran out from all over. The panicked empresses in each palace shouted "Your Majesty" and "Your Majesty", waiting for a group of people to gather in the big square. The shaking feeling had long since passed.

Already.

"The earth is shaking, it's the earth shaking."

"I don't know where it is?"

"How can the earth move if it's fine?"

The ministers were talking and talking, and the emperor's face was livid. He knew that the time had come for him to take the blame again.

King Anbei and others are all here. If there is an earthquake, they will come to protect them.

"Reporting to my father, there are shakings everywhere in the city and the people are panicking. Fortunately, no buildings have collapsed."

The emperor breathed a deep sigh of relief. At this time, an old minister stood up and said: "There were earthquakes in the early years. The shaking in Kyoto was not severe, but five hundred miles away from Kyoto, houses collapsed and people were injured.

Countless, this is a warning from God, please ask the Emperor to order the Ministry of Rites to prepare the worship hall and repent to God."

The corner of Wen Mianmian's mouth twitched slightly. Since we all know that houses may collapse somewhere and people may die or even be injured, why don't we think about how to go to disaster relief and actually want to worship?

"The vision of God's blessing must be a warning from God. Please make a decision as soon as possible, Your Majesty."

After waiting for almost half an hour and no aftershocks were seen, Wen Mianmian felt that the epicenter of the earthquake was either too far away or not too severe.

The courtiers who came one after another said "God's warning" one by one, as if the emperor was some kind of tyrant. Wen Mianmian took a deep breath, she really couldn't listen to it, "My lords, I just want to say one thing, I don't mean to say anything."

Interfere with politics.”

Everyone's eyes fell on her, and she only heard her say: "Since according to the experience of several adults, it is judged that buildings may collapse in some places and people are panicked, then at this time, should we discuss how to raise supplies as soon as possible?

Rescue can be carried out immediately as soon as the news comes. It is winter now, and the people whose houses collapsed have a lot of work to do: what to eat and drink, where to live, how to treat injuries, and how to resettle them."

"At this time, the imperial court is operating with all its strength, showing more kindness and care to the people affected by the disaster, letting them know that the emperor they trust has not given up on them. Your Excellencies are concerned about them, and they must be grateful. The news spreads all over the world."

"I'm done."

The theory of celestial phenomena was a sharp weapon used by courtiers in the past dynasties to manipulate the emperor. How could it be so easily exposed by Wen Mianmian in a few words? Someone was about to step forward to continue persuading Hua Jingsheng, who stepped forward and said, "Father, the sixth brother and sister

It is said to be exactly what I am thinking. When a disaster strikes, you will naturally first think about how to treat and appease those affected by the disaster. If you leave the affected people alone and only focus on offering sacrifices to heaven, won't you make God more dissatisfied?"

"My son is willing to be the person in charge of this disaster relief, so as to share my father's worries."

Wen Mianmian silently gave him a thumbs up in her heart. Otherwise, he was the best at maneuvering among the princes, and he knew what to do in the blink of an eye.

Several princes stood up one after another not to be outdone. The emperor nodded with satisfaction. At the critical moment, his family was still reliable. Well, the sixth daughter-in-law was also smart.

"Let's discuss matters in the main hall."

His eyes fell on Wen Mianmian, "Sixth daughter-in-law, please go back with your mother first."

Wen Mianmian and Mrs. Wen both curtsied. As for the incident in Yanzi Lane, it was nothing in front of the earthquake. Even if there were still people who wanted to hold on to the emperor, they did not give them a chance.

Both mother and daughter took a deep breath when they came out of the palace. Mrs. Wen wanted to say that the earthquake happened just in time, but she felt that it was not good to think so, so she said: "I don't know how your father is doing?"

Wen Mianmian also sighed, "I wonder how my big scalper is doing?"

The carriage was driving on the street, and there were voices discussing the recent earthquake on both sides of the road. Wen Mianmian began to think about her New Year's Festival again.

"Mom, I have to go to the newspaper office."

If the disaster is really serious, then it's time for newspapers to play their role.

Mrs. Wen nodded, "I'm not sure if your grandparents are at home, and I don't know if Xiaoyi has been released by his husband, so I won't go with you."

The mother and daughter separated at a fork in the road, and the carriage was given to Mrs. Wen. Wen Mianmian and others walked to the newspaper office. Inside the newspaper office, they were also discussing the earthquake. When Wen Mianmian arrived, Lu Linzhi and others came to greet Wen Mianmian.

He said: "Let's all come to court to hear and discuss matters."

The people in the newspaper office already have the instinct to dig out materials and have a better understanding of the newspaper office. Before Wen Mianmian could speak, they had already thought of reporting some earthquake events through newspapers. If the court needed them, they could also call on them.

Throughout the process, people donated money and materials. Wen Mianmian was very satisfied with this. The newspaper staff have been making progress.

"We must be prepared with both hands. If the disaster is serious at this time and it is not too far from Kyoto, I hope someone can go there in person and report the facts with their own eyes. Those who are left behind should be ready to call on the people in the city to work together to provide disaster relief.

, food, warm clothes, etc. are all needed, and the most important thing is to assist the court in summoning doctors to treat the people."

"If the disaster is not serious, then what we have to do is to popularize some common sense about escaping during an earthquake. On that day, we should not retaliate for things like celestial phenomena and other strange things."

When everyone understood, Qin Feng asked again, "Will the festival be held as usual that year?"

"Do it!" Wen Mianmian didn't hesitate at all. "It's more exciting at this time. If the disaster is serious, 20% of the profits from the New Year Festival will be donated to the disaster-stricken cities to help the people rebuild their hometowns."
