Ancient promotion routine

Since no one dared to stand up and speak out, Zhang Yanjin had to stand up and give these elm heads a good sap to make them sober.

The emperor's body froze slightly, even though he had long been used to strong winds and waves, he was able to face all kinds of emergencies without changing his expression, but he never thought that the first person who came out to support him with a clear-cut stand was the rascal Zhang Yanjin!

In the impression of the emperor, Zhang Yanjin has always been a type of person who is slippery and slippery, and has nothing to do with himself, but it is such a person who watches him so firmly at this extremely dangerous time and reprimands these aristocratic families remarks.

The gazes of the other people in the government and the public all fell on Zhang Yanjin, and their gazes were full of shock.

Zhang Zhongqian even widened his reddened eyes, and after the shock, anger climbed up his cheeks.It seems to be reprimanding Zhang Yanjin for messing around at this time. It is certain to support the emperor, but what you kid will do is up to him and Chu Chigong and other veterans. How dangerous it will bring this kid in the future.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Zhongqian was still in court at this time, Zhang Zhongqian really wanted to get out quickly, grabbed Zhang Yanjin's hair, and pulled Zhang Yanjin out.Is it above the court hall where you mess around?

"I don't even look at the place here, how can you let you mess around? How dare you speak so brazenly!" Zhou Qin, Chen Guogong, and Han Guogong were the most annoyed people. What status did they have? Zhang Yanjin, a rascal, dared to act Accusing them of absurdity in the face of civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty?

"This is the court hall, and it's not for children to speak nonsense in the court hall!" Yu Shi Liu Yan said, looking extremely upright like this.

Zhang Yanjin's gaze was like lightning, she looked directly at Chen Guogong and said, "The court is the emperor's court, and I am reporting to the emperor. Doesn't the imperial censor even know a little bit of etiquette?"

Liu Yanshi was almost overwhelmed with anger. What he was most proud of in his life was to follow the etiquette and never exceed the rules, but at this time, he was accused by this rascal, yellow-mouthed child Zhang Yanjin of not knowing etiquette. !

Looking at the angry faces of Chen Guogong, Han Guogong, Rui Guogong, Liu Yanshi, and Zhang Chunze, the emperor felt very comfortable in his heart.

But as a king, he naturally knows how to control the overall situation.At this moment, the Zhongzhou catastrophe, the most important thing is to solve the disaster. Although Zhang Yanjin came out to stir up such a disturbance, he felt like he was relieved, but he couldn't let Zhang Yanjin take things astray.

If Liu Yanshi was so angry with Zhang Yanjin that he resigned and retired, he didn't think he was still in such a good mood to comfort Liu Yanshi today.

"Zhang Yanjin, you just said that you want to report to me, so let's do it now." The emperor glanced at Zhang Zhongqian and said calmly.

The emperor didn't think that Zhang Yanjin had the consciousness to go out into the muddy water, so he felt that it was Zhang Zhongqian's arrangement, and he was trying to help him, but he also vaguely felt that this was really not Zhang Zhongqian's style, because if Zhang Zhongqian had anything to do, he would tell him in advance, Rather than suddenly come out like this.

It's just that now in the court, he can't ask in detail, he can only listen to what Zhang Yanjin has to say first.

Zhou Qin glanced at Zhang Zhongqian, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. It is related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Zhongzhou. How can you listen to Zhang Yanjin's yellow-mouthed words?!"

"Let's talk about it first, and then make a conclusion. Duke Rui didn't know what I was going to say, so he hastily stopped me. Is it too reckless?"

Zhang Yanjin said neither in a hurry nor in a hurry: "Furthermore, above the court, all officials discuss matters, is it okay for Duke Rui to violate the regulations?"

In the courtroom, all officials can speak, but in fact, all the ministers discuss the matter in private, and hand it over to the high-ranking ministers to speak and discuss. When the emperor asks, they say that it is enough to second the proposal. This is the rule of people, but it has long been a rule that everyone knows without saying anything.

At this moment Zhang Yanjin said this suddenly, Zhou Qin wanted to refute, but there was nothing to argue with, so he could only grit his teeth and silently looked at Zhang Yanjin, wanting to see what he had to say.

"I want to say that the earthquake in Zhongzhou was not caused by heaven's anger against the Wei Dynasty, but by the movement of the earth's crust. The torrential rain was simply because Zhongzhou was surrounded by mountains and the typhoon hovered in the mountains."

Zhang Yanjin looked at Zhang Chunze with burning eyes and said, "Taibuling claims to know astronomy from above and geography from below. How can he not even understand such a simple natural phenomenon? He also spread rumors that the Great Wei Dynasty was punished by the heavens, which caused a lot of trouble in the temple. panic?"

"Hehe." Zhang Chunze rolled up his sleeves, raised his chin slightly and said, "Such absurd words dare to be brought up in the court, and to report to the emperor, this is the first time I have heard these strange words. I think he is trying to confuse the public, taking advantage of the disaster in Zhongzhou to make a splash!"

Zhang Yanjin ignored Zhang Chunze, but continued: "My Majesty, I once drank and chatted with Dongying envoy Kogoro, and bought a stone in Dongying. Xiaowulang told me that their Dongying has been earthquake-prone since ancient times. The occurrence is due to the frequent movement of the earth's crust, as long as more precautions are taken, there will be no casualties."

Just as he was talking, Zhang Yanjin smiled and glanced at Zhang Chunze, and then said calmly: "If it is according to the Taibu Order, will the emperor of Dongying have to issue four or five times a month to sin against himself?"

"It's nonsense! Zhang Yanjin, how dare you guess the will of God and use monster words to distort the will of God!" Zhang Chunze turned his head and glared at Zhang Yanjin angrily.

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, but he is talking nonsense here, he should be beheaded to warn others!"

Originally, there have been no conclusions about astronomical phenomena since ancient times, but they are just conclusions that people have concluded based on natural phenomena.

As a Taibu Ling, in order to show his ability, Zhongzhou was hit by an earthquake, heavy rain, and the Yellow River flooded. Naturally, he wanted to find a reason for such a big disaster.

But he never thought that Zhang Yanjin would appear in the midst of this, categorically saying that he was bewitching the crowd, and he had no idea at this time, but in order to protect his face as a Taibu Ling, he naturally wanted to refute Zhang Yanjin.

"Beheading as a warning to others?" Zhang Yanjin sneered and said, "Could it be that the divination makes you feel guilty?"

Zhang Chunze glared at Zhang Yanjin angrily. His majesty as a Taibuling was questioned in court, which naturally annoyed him, but if he was to argue with Zhang Yanjin in the court, it would not be worthy of his dignity as a Taibuling. demeanor.

He calmed down slightly, then turned his head and said: "The celestial phenomena are mysterious and unpredictable, how can an ignorant person understand the will of heaven, I just don't want to waste time with you too much."

Zhang Yanjin no longer talked to Zhang Chunze, but just looked at the emperor eagerly with his hands folded, and vowed: "If the emperor does not believe the words of the humble minister, you can call the envoy of Dongying who stayed in my Great Wei Dynasty and ask him, or just ask any Dongying." People can prove whether what the minister said is true."

The emperor was naturally unwilling to issue an edict against himself, and he also felt that it was nonsense for God to anger the Great Wei Dynasty.

He waved his hand and said, "On the court, all officials can express their opinions. Since Zhang Yanjin said that this is caused by the movement of the earth's crust, then call the envoy from Dongying and ask."

The old eunuch next to the emperor heard the words, and immediately said loudly: "Xuan Dongying's envoy enters the palace!"

Not long after, the Dongying envoy stationed in Chang'an was called by the eunuchs guarding outside the hall. After he entered the hall, he saluted the emperor first, and then said: "Report to the emperor, Dongying is indeed as Baron Zhang said. The frequent occurrence of earthquakes is a normal phenomenon of earth movement. Since the people of our dynasty have experienced it frequently since ancient times, everyone has a sense of prevention, so there have been few earthquakes for many years, and there have been few casualties."

He didn't know what the earth's crust Zhang Yanjin was talking about, so he explained it according to what he knew.

After he finished speaking, he was afraid of angering the emperor of the Wei Dynasty if he didn't report it, so he explained: "I just heard about the earthquake in Zhongzhou just now, and I was about to give advice to the emperor, but I didn't want Baron Zhang to explain it to the emperor. Understood."

Zhang Chunze was so angry that his face turned pale. After thinking about it, he couldn't figure out which book recorded the earthquake.He thinks he is well-versed and knows astronomy and geography, but he never imagined that today he would be compared by a yellow-haired kid in court. His arrogant self-esteem made him depressed for a while, and his complexion turned ashen.

"So that's how it is." The emperor nodded slightly, and he felt a little relieved. Anyway, with the words of the Dongying envoys, these officials can no longer send their anger to the Wei Dynasty. In order to calm the anger of the heavens, the emperor needs to blame himself The edict's remarks came to oppress him.

"Your Majesty, I believe that this is not the time to discuss the nonsense of how to quell the wrath of the heavens. We should find a way to solve the problem as soon as possible. As soon as the typhoon passes, the heavy rain stops, and the flow of the Yellow River decreases, the flood will naturally subside. , What we have to do now is how to rescue those ordinary people who are still trapped inside."

Zhang Yanjin said again, this can be regarded as changing the subject, he wanted to talk about geography with the elders of the court, talk about how they live on the earth, and even make a seismograph, but after thinking about it, it is still not appropriate to bring this matter to the court Come up, after all, it's too unbelievable, one step ahead is a smart person, if you lead too much, then you are a monster, and you will be attacked by groups.

He said kindly: "Then what can you do?"

"My Majesty, at the court today, Chen Shangshu said that the flood was one meter to half a meter deep. I think that if this is the case, then we can use a big boat to save people, which can reduce the workload of the officials. Second, the people trapped in the water can be rescued as soon as possible." Zhang Yanjin said what he had already prepared.
