On a clear night, the stars were shining brightly. Jia Yingfu, the supervisor of the Sitiantai, was sitting in the yard of the official office and looking up at the sky from time to time.
There are people on duty to observe the astronomical phenomena every day and night, but officials like Jia Yingfu don’t have to pay the price at night, but they just stayed tonight, busy studying the principles of a new instrument.
Sitiantai is not entirely a technical department of astronomy and geography, and is often related to the central regime. Just like when they discovered a comet a few years ago, they immediately became the fuse of a power struggle in terms of political connection.
Officials can influence the decisions of the state in politics, calendar, agriculture and other aspects through the celestial phenomena, but they cannot speak nonsense, and they must have a basis, so they must have a strong knowledge to take up the position of Sitiantai.
Jia Yingfu has been stable in the position of Sitiantai Supervisor for several years and has been able to maintain his position in several turmoils. His talent and knowledge are not just about flattery.
He not only has a political sense of judging the news of the government, but also has great achievements in astronomy and astronomical phenomena.
An instrument he is studying now called the Zodiac Artifact, which can be used to observe the movement orbits of the sun, moon and stars.
This thing was just created, and the designer was a monk. The basis for the structural principle was that I thought about it... This monk's talent in writing articles was limited and he could not explain it clearly in words, so Jia Yingfu sent an official to the temple to communicate with him.
The officials sent to understand the monk's meaning and agreed with his point of view, so Sitiantai allocated some funds to let them and the craftsmen create this zodiac tour instrument.
After spending the money from the public, we naturally have to record the principles, use and accounts, and hand them over to the official office.
This is what Jia Yingfu is thinking about now.
Just as he was concentrating on checking the files and thinking, he suddenly heard a voice saying: Come and see, there is something going on in the seismometer!
When he heard this, he hurriedly put down his things, got up and entered the yard, and followed the little official on duty into the house.
There were all kinds of strange instrument drawings and many tools in the room, including a huge seismometer. Since the Han Dynasty invented this thing, the reproduction and improvement of the Sitiantai in the dynasty has been made several times. The seismometer used now has become more powerful and has become larger in size.
I was just sitting there writing, and you see, my pen is still wet.I didn't move it, I could only hear a tingling sound, and when I stood up to observe, I found something was wrong.
Call the person who measured the drawing and drew the picture in, calculate the location from Chang'an, and then I can write a memorial to see Your Highness tomorrow morning.Jia Yingfu ordered.
Soon there were more people in the house, and everyone expanded the map and measured the earthquake location and intensity according to the estimated distance of the instrument.
The sleepy clerk also ran around to help, grinding his pulse and serving Jia Yingfu.
The busy officials measured and reported, and Jia Yingfu recorded it on the draft to wait for the chapter to be compiled later.
It is about 400 miles south of Chang'an. Let's see where it is?
The minor official holding the folding ruler wrote and calculated while taking the folding ruler to measure the drawings, and looked up and said: On the other side of Zhongnan Mountain (Qinling Mountain), near Qizhou.
The next morning, I learned about the earthquake in the south of Chang'an last night. At night, Qizhou urgently reported the rapid horse from the post road to Beijing to report the earthquake to the court, which was almost consistent with the measurement of Sitiantai.
The earthquake occurred at night, and the houses in the state collapsed and countless casualties were injured. Even the state yamen collapsed and more than a dozen local officials below the governor died. Therefore, the urgent report was written in the name of the Chief of Qi Prefecture. It has begun to mobilize the military and civilians in the state to save themselves and ask the central government for help.
Princess Taiping issued an order to bury the governor of Qizhou and asked the Hanlin Academy to write an edict in the name of the emperor to pass it to the local government to commend the chief and other bureaucrats.
After the court officials arrived at Zichen Hall, Liu An submitted a complaint to open the official warehouses of various prefectures and counties near Qizhou to assist the temporary establishment of porridge sheds in the affected prefectures and counties. Princess Taiping agreed to Liu An's request.
However, it is a bit difficult to have substantial help. At this time, the transportation speed is low, and the place in Qizhou is already within the Zhongnan Mountain area, and it is difficult to move through many post roads...
The unlucky officials and people can only ask for more blessings.
However, Liu An believed that the Chief of the Prefect Qi would collect grain from the people, and as long as the order was issued to open a warehouse, it would be better than doing nothing.
Under the social conditions of this era, whether there are floods, droughts or locust plagues, the most important thing for the court is to allocate money and grain to provide disaster relief, so that the people can have food first, and later assist in farming, plowing oxen and other things.
A dynasty that can effectively do these things is already quite powerful. It must have national strength and government orders. If the government is weak in troubled times, then everyone will die, or call the sky is dead and Huang Tian should rebel.
Therefore, when Taiping agreed to open a warehouse to provide disaster relief and issued an order to appease officials and the people, the imperial court was quite satisfied and felt that he had fulfilled his obligation to control the country.
At this moment, an official hurriedly ran into Zichen Hall and fell into the hall and said: Your Highness, the memorial of the King of Jin!
Princess Taiping's eyebrows were covered with big sleeves and said: Hand it up.
As soon as the ministers heard the word King of Jin, they quickly stopped talking and waited silently. Now Xue Chongxun is a sensitive topic in the Chang'an court and the country.
Yu Liben walked down and took the memorial from the official's hand and returned. Princess Taiping took the thing and opened it and started to look.
People quietly observed her expression, and saw that her eyes suddenly became wide open, and her surprise was overwhelming.
The ministers were even more curious and eager to know the content in the book. What kind of articles can make Princess Taiping look like this?
After a long time, Princess Taiping calmly handed the memorial in her hand to Yu Liben: Everyone wants to know what it is writing, please give Niannian.
Yes, Your Highness.Yu Liben respectfully took it and carefully unfolded the memorial and read it word by word. Fortunately, the eunuch not only knew literacy but also had some literary talent, and reading an article was no problem at all.
My son was shocked to hear that the officials and people in the Qizhou earthquake were killed and injured, so they could not sleep all night. He also thought that many wise ministers in the court would open warehouses to provide disaster relief, so I felt a little relieved.But my son thought that adjusting food was a way to save the people from water and fire, but it was difficult to rescue survivors buried in the soil in time. He also needed to build a shelter from wind and rain to prevent plagues. The affected prefectures and counties were unable to continue... The soldiers in the southern yamen of Chang'an could serve as the city defense, and the Shence Army stationed in the south of the city had no use yet. He asked the order to transfer the Shence Army as the vanguard and quickly set off for Qizhou to rescue the victims. The Shence Army had strict military discipline and marched quickly. I guaranteed to arrive in Qizhou within two days in order to reduce casualties and demonstrate the love for the people of the Tang Dynasty...
The hall suddenly became silent, and everyone was stunned and speechless.
It is obvious that everyone is surprised by the disaster relief...
Under this situation, why should Xue Chongxun take the initiative to transfer the most intimidating Shence Army to four hundred miles away?
You should know that Chang'an has only a little power, and can only use these strengths in the city to compete. At this time, it is no longer legitimate to mobilize troops from the outside to influence the balance, otherwise the incident will be aggravated.
Under such circumstances, what a decisive factor is the four thousand elites!
Princess Taiping laughed, clapping the gold armrests on both sides with her palms and laughing: Chongxun is my son, worthy of being a member of our family!Have courage and be honest!Ha ha……
An old man running in red fell on the floor with a thunderous sound and said loudly: The benevolent heart of the King of Jin moved the world, the country is very lucky, the country is very lucky, and the people are very lucky!
This is written by Chongxun himself. It’s impossible to make a mistake. I took it down and gave it to everyone to see, but there is nothing wrong.Princess Taiping said happily.
All the ministers bowed and said, "I am congratulating you, please congratulate your highness..."
Princess Taiping was so happy that she couldn't stop her from getting started. She couldn't control her solemn expression and praised her every word. However, few people praised her son without any concealment in front of outsiders like her.
You said, how do you approve this memorial?Princess Taiping looked down at His Highness and asked.
People immediately stopped talking, and many people simply buried their heads, just as if they were afraid that they would be noticed.Liu An looked up and wanted to speak but stopped, and finally remained silent like everyone else.
In theory, if you want to rescue disasters, you will be more likely to move troops from Chang'an to seek far away... Princess Taiping murmured.
Everyone was speechless: Are you pretending to be stupid or really confused? Obviously, the focus of this matter is not here.
At this time, Princess Taiping said again: But since Chongxun has this intention, he will just follow him.
His Highness Hideaki!
……
Not long after, the aides of the Prince's Kingdom also learned that the Shence Army was going to be transferred. Xue Chongxun did not say hello to them before doing that, and wrote a memorial alone.
He naturally had the decision-making power, but he seemed a little stubborn if he didn't say hello.
Yuwen Xiao was the most depressed. He complained as soon as he learned the news: What is Xue Lang doing?I didn’t discuss it with us in advance, I’m handing over the knife to someone else’s hands!If Princess Taiping had a difference in thought, wouldn’t we have to fail and die without a place to bury it?
Don’t be impatient if you are young, please don’t be impatient.Wang Changling hurriedly persuaded him.Xue Chongxun was not in the prince's kingdom, and I didn't know what to do when I left the house. Only Yuwen Xiao and Wang Changling had the most say in the prince's kingdom.
Wang Changling said: I think this step is right.What Duke Yuwen said is dangerous. Is it not dangerous if Xue Lang uses the Shen Ce Army to confront Princess Taiping for a long time?Maybe it will be even more dangerous to continue like this... Think about it, after a long confrontation, everyone is suspicious of each other. If you are not careful, Chang'an will become a battlefield. Even if we win, if we don't win thoroughly, Princess Taiping and others will try to withdraw from Chang'an and shout. Will the people in the world prefer to listen to her or Xue Lang?What's more, the more than 10,000 troops of the Yulin Army are more inclined to the palace. Is the chance of winning really great?
Yuwen Xiao was silent and frowned and thoughtful.
Wang Changling and Yu Wen Xiao said: The Li Tang Dynasty country is still legitimate, and everyone in the world agrees with its century-old foundation. Hurry up to speed and instant benefits can only lead to self-destruction!Since we have followed Xue Lang, how can we harm him?Xue Lang must have thought about this matter carefully and made a quick decision without being influenced by the controversy of the counselors under the tent. I feel sincerely convinced.
