Prince of the Qing Dynasty

Gu led the sweeper to Yinreng, looked him up and down, and felt relieved when he saw that he was well.

"The servant went to Ningshou Palace to inquire, and before he reached the boundary, he met Saoqin. Saoqin told the servant that she knew that the Crown Prince was concerned about the Empress Dowager, and at the beginning of the earthquake, when everyone was in a hurry, she ran directly to When I came to Ningshou Palace, I saw the Empress Dowager leaving Ningshou Palace to avoid the earthquake. She stayed there to help the people in Ningshou Palace take care of some trivial matters. After the empress dowager was settled, she happened to see the slaves go , I stopped the slave and told the story, and then I followed the slave back to my life. Please rest assured, the prince, the queen mother is safe and well."

Yinfeng turned to look at sweeping the piano.On weekdays, he is mostly accompanied by nannies and wet nurses, and the masters only get in touch with each other during schoolwork, and they can't get involved in daily trivial matters.There are maids and eunuchs serving him in Yuqing Palace, but because the nannies and wet nurses guard his side tightly, it is very difficult for those maids and eunuchs to serve him.Therefore, although Saoqin and the others are his personal maids, there are very few things they can do in front of him.

But he didn't expect that this sweeping piano is not like others who can dodge and just dodge, but is smarter than her sister Shi Mo, who can pay attention to everything and take care of him.Most importantly, this sweeping piano will try to figure out his mind.

Yinfeng secretly remembered the benefits of being careful about sweeping the piano, and didn't say much, just nodded, and then asked Mrs. Gu: "The nanny went outside and walked around, do you know what's going on in the palace now?"

Seeing the question, Mrs. Gu replied: "I met a lot of people along the way, but it seemed to be in order. Although it was a bit hectic last night, someone is presiding over it now. Concubine Rong, Concubine Hui, and Concubine Yi The empress has sent people to check the palace, and the head of the House of Internal Affairs, Hai Laxun, also sent people to check the places. The servant asked Lord Hailaxun, and said that the gates of Shuncheng, Desheng, etc. were all knocked down. Most of the palaces and houses have collapsed. The specific matters will not be known until after the aftershocks are over. Now Lord Hirazon is still organizing rescues, and the specific data can only be counted after the aftershocks are over. "

Mrs. Gu paused, seeing that Yinfeng was looking at her without blinking, apparently dissatisfied with her answer, she thought for a while, and then said: "I have seen a lot of people on the way, so I can't escape. The scene is not good. According to the estimates of the servants, there are many casualties."

Yinfeng waved his hand, turned around and went back to the tent: "Understood. Go sweep the piano and rest, nanny, come in with me."

If there are many casualties in the palace, what about outside?What about the people in the capital?I'm afraid that the number of people who will die is innumerable, and if there is another shock, there will be more deaths.

Gu Shi came in with Yinfeng, and said in his mouth: "I went to the empress dowager's place. The empress dowager is very concerned about the prince. But it is not suitable to walk around at this time, so the slave told the empress dowager about the situation of the prince. She is very relieved, saying that the crown prince is well, she can rest assured. The empress dowager also said that sweeping the piano is bold and careful, and the crown prince should put her by his side to serve him."

Not only the Empress Dowager Renxian thinks sweeping the piano is good, even Mrs. Gu thinks sweeping the piano is good this time.She thought to herself, she had underestimated this court lady before.

After hearing this, Yinfeng nodded and said, "I know. From now on, let Saoqin follow you, nanny, teach her some things, let her practice with you, and she will use some in the future. After all, she is still too young , it’s better to go through things.”

Gu's heart was amused when she heard Yinreng say this in an old-fashioned way. The crown prince himself is not yet seven years old, but he said that his ten-year-old sweeper is too young.

What Yinreng was thinking about at the moment was not sweeping the piano at all, he was thinking about the aftershocks and re-shocks afterwards.

This big earthquake has lasted all night, if there is another big earthquake, what will happen?

Now that Kangxi is not in Beijing——Yinfeng thought of this, and suddenly raised his eyes and asked Gu: "Can Hailaxun report this matter to Huang Ama?"

Mrs. Gu just didn't have time to mention this matter outside, and when she saw Yinfeng asking, she nodded and said: "Master Hai has already written a note about this matter and told the emperor. The note was handed out to Beijing last night, I'm afraid it's time The emperor has already heard that something happened in the capital, and he is on his way back to the capital. But from outside the mouth to the capital, even if he travels day and night, it will take three days. The Empress Dowager is back together."

The empress dowager is old and has a chronic illness, so it is not suitable for a long journey in the hot weather.

"It's good for the Empress Dowager to come back slowly. Beijing is not peaceful now. It's also good for the Empress Dowager to walk slowly on the road. When she comes back, Huang Ama will probably take care of things."

Yinfeng thought silently, no matter how fast or slow Kangxi traveled, it would not affect the power of the earthquake, the earthquake would still happen, and people would only die more and more.He was just a little worried, not knowing how long the earthquake would last. He was worried that too many people would die, and that would be really troublesome.

Yinrong's worries were verified later, the earthquake stopped for two hours and then resumed.It didn't stop until the end of time.The next day and the day after that there was another big earthquake.The earthquake didn't stop completely until three days later, and Kangxi still hasn't returned after three days.

Kangxi's return was like an arrow, but his chariot got stuck in the boundary of Tongzhou and he couldn't come back.The guards who sent back Kangxi Zhu's decree said that after the earthquake, Tongzhou, Liangxiang and other cities collapsed, the ground cracked into canals, yellow and black water flowed out, and black air covered the sky.It is said that there was also a family member of a general who passed through Tongzhou. 87 family members were crushed to death due to the collapse of the house, and only three survived.Kangxi's chariot could not take the risk of passing quickly, so he had to come back later than the scheduled time.

He decreed to name Suo Etu and Tu Hai, two great scholars, to take care of the matter, and Lu Dehong and Mingzhu co-organized it.The palace is handled by the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Hai Laxun.The Ministry of Household Affairs was ordered to quickly discuss disaster relief measures, ordered the Eight Banners to conduct a detailed inspection, and ordered the Manchu and Han censors to assist the five city censors of the capital to learn more about the situation of collapsed houses and injuries.When Kangxi's decree arrived in Beijing, Yinfeng knew that Kangxi must not know that Le Dehong was also injured in the earthquake, and the post-disaster affairs could only be supervised by three university scholars full of military flags.

The more Yinreng thought about Kangxi's decree, the more weird he felt, and he wondered if he was being overwhelmed.Kangxi only ordered a few academicians who were full of military flags to take care of this matter, but bypassed the three Han University scholars. What does this mean?The academicians who are full of military banners are busy with disaster relief, so the academicians of the Han Dynasty will take charge of the court's maintenance.I don't know whether Kangxi was intentional or unintentional, Yinfeng always felt that he was more or less partial to Hanchen in his private heart.

Taking advantage of the disaster relief, the academicians who are full of military banners can't take care of the court's maintenance, and the ministers of the six ministries are often busy because of this matter. Needless to say, the Ministry of Household Affairs, if anyone is in this troubled water If there is a stir inside, the Hanchens will probably be able to reap some benefits, and make a gang or a faction or something.

During a catastrophe, people must not be idle, as soon as they are free, they will definitely make trouble and gossip.It would be fine if it was in the past, with Kangxi around, he could hold back.Kangxi is not in Beijing right now, if someone wants to make trouble, who can stop him?Not to mention this, even at such a time when human life is at stake, Yinfeng can't see anything happening.

Naturally, there will not be much right and wrong in the palace, and they are afraid of the outside world. If something happens outside, whether it is dead or injured, it will be bad luck for the people.And as the prince, he naturally couldn't sit idly by at this time.He wanted to go out of the palace to take a look and see how the palace had been destroyed.

One, you can see how the great scholars are doing the disaster relief; two, you will be more informed and meet more people outside than in the palace. He can know what he wants to know, and he can know what he should know .Although he is a prince, in the eyes of some people, he is just a child, and he probably won't avoid him when he speaks; three things, he still wants to do something, but he doesn't know if it can be done, so he must go out of the palace to see The situation can only be known.

However, he can't just go out of the palace like this, if he goes out in such a big way, he might not even get through the Palace of Preserving Harmony, he has to find someone to go with him.

As soon as the earthquake stopped, he went straight to Ningshou Palace to pay his respects to Empress Dowager Renxian.

Empress Dowager Renxian also lived in the tent. As soon as he passed the Huangji Gate, he saw the living place of Empress Renxian.Yinfeng hurriedly took Gu Shi in.The Empress Dowager Renxian really cared about him. When she saw him, her eyes turned red. She pulled him up and down to look for a long time, and then nodded after making sure that he was not injured at all, "Okay, okay. Mrs. Gu I will be relieved to protect you well."

Yinreng saw that Empress Dowager Renxian was also very good, so he felt at ease, and said straightforwardly: "Grandmother, my grandson wants to go out of the palace."

"Out of the palace?"

Empress Dowager Renxian was puzzled, and frowned, "Why did you go out of the palace? At this time, the situation outside is much worse than in the palace. Why don't you stay in the palace, what are you going out for?"

Yinreng stared straight at Empress Dowager Renxian, instead of answering her words, he said, "In this palace right now, only grandma can help her grandson out of the palace."

Seeing Yinreng's extremely serious expression, Empress Dowager Renxian didn't seem to be joking. She raised her eyes and looked at Gu Shi, and saw that Gu Shi was also surprised when she heard Yinreng's words, and she knew in her heart that Yinreng's words were even Gu Shi didn't even say anything, Yinfeng was going to tell her directly as soon as he came over.

Empress Dowager Renxian pondered for a while, then looked at Yinreng and said, "whether I can help you out of the palace or not. Tell me first, why are you leaving the palace?"

It is a big event for the prince to leave the palace, and it is even more extraordinary to leave the palace at this time.If Yinreng can't tell how ugly Yinmao is, she will absolutely not agree with Yinreng leaving the palace.No, no, Empress Dowager Renxian shook her head in her heart, even if Yinreng could say that he was ugly, she couldn't help him out of the palace!
