Chapter 105                                                                                                                             

The earthquake-active period entered the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and when it fell into the most active period in the middle of the Jiajing period, the famous Jiajing earthquake in the history of earthquakes was also caused.

However, this earthquake was not the Jiajing earthquake that affected the entire north. It was his prelude.

In recent years, the center of Shaanxi and Shanxi, there have been frequent earthquakes in the north, and the intensity of the earthquake is not too high. However, it was the forerunner of the Jiajing earthquake. He was declaring that the active geological activities in the north were already undepressed.

It was just that the deep meaning of it was impossible for people at that time to understand.

Yan Song was extremely happy and felt sleepy and gave him a pillow.

Doesn’t this just confirm the idea he wanted to input into Jiajing? Such a world-changing change is not a sign of disaster?

This earthquake in Beijing is big, small, and small. However, the houses in Yan's mansion are extremely solid. This earthquake only made Yan's mansion shake up and down a few times, and even a firewood did not collapse. It does not mean that this earthquake did not cause harm to Beijing. After all, most of the houses in Beijing's people cannot be compared with those in the homes of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.

Almost at the same time as the earthquake, the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, first a sensation of heavy rain, and then a constant thunder turned into continuous drizzle.

Yan Song held on to the palace in the thunder and heavy rain.

Yan Song thought that this was a critical time, and he had to find a way to determine the wishes of Emperor Jiajing.

Yan Song started to act.

Others also took action.

Xia Yan was in the cabinet. When the earthquake hit, everyone was extremely panicked. Only Xia Yan sat on the chair and shouted loudly: "What's the panic? What's the place here? Is it a place where you can run around?"

Wherever Xia Yan's eyes went, the staff of the cabinet all shuddered and did not dare to move. Ren aftershocks came from time to time, and they stood in the cabinet hall, and no one dared to move. When the earthquake passed, Xia Yan ordered as usual: "Send people to the various yamen in the capital to report the casualties, and ask them to report the casualties clearly. Come to Shuntian Prefecture and the Five City Military and Masjids, immediately patrol the city, press the ground, save lives and help the wounded. Send people to greet His Majesty."

"Yes." The people below agreed.

After Xia Yan sent everyone away, he breathed a sigh of relief. Before he knew it, his forehead was slightly sweating.

The reason why Xia Yan did not avoid earthquakes was not that he was not afraid of death. How could he not know that it would be best to hide outside in an open place during earthquakes? There is a large open space outside Wenyuan Pavilion, which is enough to hide. In the first place, he believed in the quality of Wenyuan Pavilion's building.

Even if there is an earthquake, Wenyuan Pavilion may not collapse.

Second, and most important.

The people below were already very panicked. If he panicked, he would still be unable to do anything.

There was an earthquake in the capital, and I don’t know how much to deal with it after a while. He had to calm the cabinet down.

Sure enough, Xia Yan's calmness also infected the people below. Although in the aftershocks and heavy rain, the clans and sects of the cabinet rushed into the heavy rain with their missions.

At this time, Xiyuan also made a mess.

When the earthquake came, Zhou Mengchen made a quick decision and ordered the eunuchs and palace maids to carry the queen outside, and a stepping bed was lifted out together.

The stepping bed is like a small house, with a roof on it and abutment on three sides. It also makes people wrap several layers of oil cloth outside to block the water so that the queen will not be exposed to the rain. Even so, Li Yunzhen was still a little anxious when she looked at Zhou Mengchen's face.

The queen had just undergone surgery, but her health has not yet recovered. If she suffers from a cold again, this will be a big deal.

But now there is no other way. Who would have thought that the earthquake suddenly happened?

"Empress." Jiajing strode over. Huang Jin and Lu Bing stood left and right behind Jiajing. Behind each other, there was a little eunuch who struggled to hold an umbrella. However, Jiajing walked too fast that the little eunuch holding an umbrella could not keep up at all.

Seeing Jiajing coming.

Zhou Mengchen, who was guarding outside the archbed with an umbrella, immediately asked to salute.

Jiajing said, "No need to be polite." Then he walked over to Zhou Mengchen with almost ignorance and went directly to see the queen.

Although the queen took medicine to calm the mind and help sleep, she couldn't sleep even after such a big noise. Jiajing crawled into the bed and comforted the queen in a whisper.

Zhou Mengchen could only stand in the rain with the eunuch guards outside and Li Yunzhen with an umbrella.

Zhou Mengchen held Li Yunzhen under his umbrella and looked at the boundless darkness around him. Fortunately, the showers passed and the rain became smaller.

However, in the face of this power of heaven and earth, people are inevitably speechless and shocked by this power. I don’t know what to say.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew over and the heavy rain came again. Although it was still at night, under the suppression of the black clouds, day and night seemed to be reversed in the blink of an eye. Then, a thunder broke out from the sky, like a flying dragon pounced down.

The world is bright.

Although the rolling thunder sounded like an invisible giant object, rolling through the heaven and earth, from everyone's body and ears, the sound of the big sound, or the thunder sound was too loud, Zhou Mengchen felt a sense of deafness, just as if the heaven and earth were quiet for a moment.

When the thunder sounds, it is not a single thread.

But one after another.

From far to near, it seemed that there were really a heavenly soldier and general standing at the clouds, jointly manipulating magic weapons, gathering the power of thunder together, and then smashing it down.

Suddenly another thunder came.

This time it was thunder and lightning. The pale lightning illuminated everyone's faces at once. Zhou Mengchen looked serious in the lightning, and his pupils reflected the shape of thunder. Just southeast, on the other side of the lake, thunder seemed to have eyes and hit a palace.

But in a moment.

A red light rose from the building. It was nothing more, it was a fire.

This is actually a common track in the Forbidden City, lightning strikes from fire.

As the tallest building complex in Beijing, it is common to suffer lightning strikes in the entire imperial city. However, Zhou Mengchen never expected that this scene would cause him to bump into it.

Zhou Mengchen did not say anything, and walked outside the Berber bed a few steps and said, "Your Majesty, the palace was struck by lightning and caught fire."

"Boom" Before Jiajing could answer, another thunder came, giving Jiajing some buffering time.

After the thunder, Jiajing's voice seemed to be a little nervous and said, "That palace?"

Zhou Mengchen thought for a while and said, "It seems to be the Taigao Xuan Palace."

After all, Zhou Mengchen was on duty in Xiyuan for a long time and figured out the entire Xiyuan building complex. He roughly inferred the place where the lightning strike caused fire through his direction, height, and shape.

The Taigao Xuan Palace was a palace built after Jiajing ascended the throne. To be precise, it is a Taoist temple.

Construction started in the 21st year of Jiajing, and it took several years to be considered as repaired.

It can be said to be one of the important places for Jiajing to cultivate mythology. Jiajing summoned Taoist priests and performed great rituals here. He worshipped the Three Pure Land. Even though Jiajing is now in doubt about the cultivation of immortals, it does not prevent him from sometimes sitting in Taigao Xuan Hall.

When Zhou Mengchen talked about this name, he didn't think much about it.

But when Jiajing heard this name, he was stunned for a moment. It seemed that he could not turn around.

Zhou Mengchen said: "Your Majesty, you should put out the fire immediately, otherwise the fire will be out of control over time."

Jiajing then woke up and said, "Okay, please take someone to put out the fire immediately. Go quickly."

Zhou Mengchen was a little stunned. When he came to report, he actually adhered to a sense of responsibility. After all, it was impossible to do a large-scale activity in the palace, including firefighting, without the emperor nodding. However, Zhou Mengchen himself did not think about leading his team to put out the fire.

After all, he was not doing this. It was not very convenient for him to command the manpower in the palace.

But now Jiajing has already said, what else can Zhou Mengchen say? As a job as an emperor, it is naturally what the emperor said? Anyway, if you really put out the fire, Zhou Mengchen doesn’t need to break into the fire scene by himself. At most, he will be commanding in front of the battlefield. It’s no big deal.

Zhou Mengchen said: "Yes."
