Chapter 233: There’s an earthquake, run quickly

Emperor Hongzhi has been in poor health in recent years, and he is the one who is seriously weak.

Since coming here in the morning, he has only drank a few sips of tea. Throughout the whole day, his face seems expressionless, but his spirit has been in a tense state. Regarding Xia Yuan's speculations, he hopes it is true, but he is worried

not real.

Now that we know that the underground palace has indeed collapsed, the coffins are missing, and there is still the sound of water in the deep pit, this has greatly confirmed that guess.

The tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and the whole person's mind slowed down, and his body also softened.

Fortunately, Xiao Jing had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly supported Emperor Hongzhi. After a few sharp shouts, Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be called back to his senses, and the hazy trance in front of his eyes also receded.

Then he put his hand on Xiao Jing's arm and stood up straight again firmly. He didn't pass over, but his steps were a little sloppy.

After taking a few breaths, Emperor Hongzhi's face barely regained some color. He looked at Xia Yuan, who had already rushed over, and called out: "Ju Zheng."

"."

To be honest, Xia Yuan always found this cousin's name very strange. It gave him an inexplicable urge to start reform and implement the New Deal.

However, since the emperor has given me a cousin, let’s leave it at that.

So Xia Yuan replied: "I am here."

"Are you still proficient in the art of humiliation?"

In the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi, the art of Kanyu was a mysterious and mysterious knowledge. He even felt that this knowledge was full of falsehoods, and it was just for psychological comfort.

But facts speak louder than words. It’s about underground water and it’s about earthquakes. These seemingly absurd statements are all true to his words.

Emperor Hongzhi could only guess in this direction that his son-in-law had the skills to be respected, and he was truly talented and knowledgeable.

He knows the yin and yang, understands the Eight Diagrams, knows the astronomy and knows the geography. He can see the hidden secrets in the mountains, rivers and rivers that may seem to others to be ordinary.

Everyone else also looked at Xia Yuan. At this time, they also reacted belatedly. The underground river and the earthquake were all predicted by this person. This kind of miraculous prediction was not unreasonable.

What is the art?

Zhu Houzhao's eyes also shone with a different look, and he looked more excited than others.

You are worthy of being my master, that’s how it should be!

Facing countless looks, Xia Yuan shook his head without thinking, "How can I do this? I don't understand."

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao immediately became a little anxious, "How could you not know it? How could you not know that there is an underground river under the ground and this earthquake? You must know it, I know it very well."

"Chen Zhen"

Xia Yuan just wanted to continue denying it, but then he said: "Okay, I do know a little bit, um. I know a thing or two."

In his mind, Kanyu is Feng Shui. Looking at the mountains and water, it seems to be related to geography. And the underground rivers and earthquakes he just mentioned naturally belong to the category of geography.

He still understands geography.

After all, I have completed nine years of compulsory education and three years of high school.

Although I don’t know much, let alone master it, I do know a little bit.

However, in the eyes of other people, this is a modest statement. Everyone is shameless these days, especially scholars. They are often reserved and reserved. They are obviously knowledgeable, but when they speak, they say they understand a little bit.

, the more you know, the more you say this.

In the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi, although this son-in-law sometimes behaved shamelessly, such as shamelessly calling him daddy, most of the time he still had the moral integrity of a scholar and was relatively shameless.

So I know a little bit about it, which means I am extremely proficient.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes shone with a wise light that could see through everything, and he put his arm on Xia Yuan's shoulders, "I said you would definitely do it, but you still don't admit it, but master, you are still too reserved."

I know a little bit, but it always sounds unpleasant to my ears. If it were him, he would definitely have his back and laugh, with a proud look on his face, yes, my knowledge above Kanyu is astonishing!

Xiao Jing suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, there are several cave-ins in this underground palace now. It is not right to stand here after all. Please your Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince to move quickly. Master Xia also said this just now."

Frequent earthquakes occur across the land, or?”

As he was talking, at this moment, there seemed to be a muffled sound, a tremor rolled in, the ground shook, and everyone was a little unsteady on their feet.

Fortunately, this trembling feeling came and went quickly and did not last long.

After returning to calm, everyone looked at each other in confusion. They could all see the confusion on each other's faces, and then they realized what had happened. At this moment, they were frightened.

Zhu Houzhao's little heart was beating wildly, and he immediately grabbed Emperor Hongzhi's sleeve with one hand, and grabbed Xia Yuan with the other hand. He only had two hands, and the others couldn't control him, "Quick, run quickly,

There's an earthquake, let's run!"

Xia Yuan staggered when he pulled him, but he did not forget to shout to the bottom of the pit: "Why are you still standing there, come out of the pit quickly, come out quickly!"

And a group of guards who had regained their composure quickly crawled out from the bottom of the pit, leaving the pit unattended. Everyone hurriedly left near the treasure top, walked down the seventh-level worship platform, and stayed away from the location of the underground palace.

Only then did I seem to have some sense of security.

Then his eyes began to look at two people, one was Xiao Jing and the other was Xia Yuan.

Xiao Jing's old face twitched, we didn't expect that my mouth was so smart, this earthquake happened at a moment's notice.

Emperor Hongzhi was still a little frightened. Fortunately, the earthquake just now was not large in scale. It only shook the ground a few times. If the scale was larger, it would cause the underground palace to completely collapse.

The consequences could be disastrous.

All the emperors and princes of the Ming Dynasty are here. If they are all involved, the whole world will be in chaos. Even if there is no chaos, his lineage will be extinct.

The more he thought about it, the more fearful Zhu Youtang became. If he had some doubts about the frequent earthquakes in the capital just now, he now believed it.

If there are really frequent earthquakes around the capital.

Leaving Xijinshan and embarking on the road back to Beijing, it was getting late. Xia Yuan remained silent and did not pay attention to Zhu Houzhao who was still sighing there. He was thinking about the earthquake just now and felt that this earthquake did not seem to be local to the capital.

The household registration seems to come from the west.

The oscillating feeling is the kind of transmitted feeling, like a wave, pushing forward layer by layer.

And even in the capital city, a small earthquake with the level of ground shaking just now will definitely be recorded in history.

Earth collapse in the fifteenth year of Hongzhi

Thinking of this, Xia Yuan suddenly remembered a record. In the fifteenth year of Hongzhi's reign, the ground collapsed in Puzhou, Henan, causing shocks thousands of miles away and affecting five provinces.

Puzhou collapsed?

This incident may not be very famous in history, but it is indeed famous. This was probably the largest earthquake in Henan's history. According to later generations, it is speculated that the earthquake magnitude may have reached around magnitude eight.

And the earthquake could be felt as far away as the capital. If the earthquake in Puzhou really collapsed, then what a miserable situation it would be in the Central Plains right now.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xiao Jing trotted over and said, "Master Xia, the emperor has asked you to come over."

Xia Yuan was in a confused state of mind at this time. When he heard this, he just nodded with a dull face and urged the horses to walk to Emperor Hongzhi's sedan. Then he heard Emperor Hongzhi ask: "Juzheng, are there really frequent earthquakes in this capital?"
