Datang Institute of Technology
Chapter 107
The college's disaster prevention drill is going on intensely.
For the students, they think it is very fun. During class, when they hear the sound of the gong, they will run outside laughing and joking, because the dean said that as long as they hear the sound of the gong, no matter what they are doing, they will go outside to an open place run.
When they started running, they were still a bit chaotic, but Xu Changsheng corrected them a few times, and then there was a lot of order.
The only thing the students don't like is that they also beat the gong at night. Fortunately, it's not too late, so they just go out for a walk.
They probably know what the dean is guarding against, because they were the first to know about the results of the stargazing by the dean.
The students were a little scared, but deep down they wanted to know whether the stargazing result of the dean was real, so they felt a little complicated.
Medical students are learning first aid, bandaging wounds, stopping bleeding, setting bones, etc., and most importantly, they are also learning their own sutures.
Xu Changsheng even took part in the battle himself, and shared some common sense on how to use alcohol for disinfection and how to comfort patients. People in disasters actually need comfort the most.
In Chang'an, many parents trembled with the letters in their hands, and their faces turned pale.
This letter was written to them by the students, about the results of Xu Changsheng's observation of the stars.
Because Xu Changsheng accurately calculated the specific time for Ying Huo to guard his heart, the meaning of this letter is different now.
"Earth Dragon...turn over?"
Many people turned pale, especially those who had experienced this kind of disaster. They knew that it would be such a disaster that manpower cannot resist.
Some of the parents of these students were officials in the imperial court, and they immediately reported the matter to the imperial court.
"Your Majesty, when I received a letter from the younger generation at home, Xu Jiazi was on the top of the mountain to observe the stars for me in the Tang Dynasty. The result of the measurement is that natural disasters are approaching, and the earth dragon will turn around. I hope Your Majesty will make preparations early."
There was an uproar, just hearing the word Dilong turn over, I don't know how many courtiers trembled.
"Nonsense, my Great Tang was in the midst of prosperity, how... how could such a natural disaster happen?"
"The warning of natural disasters means that the Son of Heaven has no virtue. Could it be that Xu Jiazi is saying that His Majesty has no virtue?"
Of course, there was also a voice saying, "Xu Jiazi accurately tested Yinghuo Shouxin, what if his stargazing results are also correct?"
There was a lot of quarreling, and they were very excited. Many veterans felt that their Tang Dynasty is now prosperous and the world is peaceful, and it has been a long time since they have been harmed by swords and soldiers. It is impossible for the heavens to send such a disaster.
"Your Majesty, don't make the people panic because of one person's words, and the world will be shaken."
"Yes, we are living a good life now, and no accidents should happen."
Their Great Tang is now so powerful, how could there be a natural disaster?
It's not that Li Shimin doesn't believe in Xu Changsheng, but if the news is released, people in Chang'an, which is rarely peaceful and prosperous, may panic. But if the news is not released, people will be prepared early, so what if Xu Jiazi's prediction is true?
Of course he didn't want Xu Jiazi's prediction to be true, because Dilong turned over, according to the previous statement, it means that he has no virtue, so heaven sent down punishment.
But Xu Jiazi is too evil, and he can't pretend that he didn't hear anything.
and……
Li Shimin's hand was caressing a painting, which was the "Picture of Immortals Watching the Stars". On it, the young man floated like an immortal, standing on the top of the mountain to observe the stars and predict his luck.
Li Shimin could even imagine what kind of picture it was.
He received Li Gang's letter and this painting earlier than these courtiers, that is to say, even if these ministers did not mention it at the court meeting, he still knew the result of stargazing.
Li Shimin frowned, looked at the people who were arguing endlessly below, and then said, "What did Qin Tianjian find?"
Qin Heng, deputy supervisor of the Qin Tianjian, stood up. He was very embarrassed recently. When everyone mentioned Qin Tianjian, the first thing that came to mind was how their Qin Tianjian was crushed by that academy. The students can accurately calculate the specific time of Yinghuo Shouxin, but they can't Qintianjian, which is the most powerful institution in astronomy and metaphysics on behalf of the Tang Dynasty.
Now, others don't think so, what is the most powerful institution?Certainly not as good as that college.
Now that Qin Heng is being named, the pressure has suddenly increased. If he says something different from Xu Jiazi's stargazing results, if it is wrong, it will be embarrassing.
Qin Heng's face was serious, and he gritted his teeth after a while and said, "Qin Tianjian hasn't noticed anything unusual recently."
After finishing speaking, I still didn't forget to add a sentence, "The sky is dark and complex, and the ministers and others have little talent and learning, so there will be omissions."
He said that he didn't find anything unusual, but he didn't deny that Xu Jiazi might have seen something.
He didn't dare to deny it, if he was wrong again, Qin Tianjian would have to be pushed to the forefront.
Li Shimin glanced at Qin Heng, he was really... tactful, and said, "Is there any abnormality in the seismograph of Qin Tianjian?"
This seismograph was passed down from the Eastern Han Dynasty. After some improvements, it has eight orientations. Each orientation has a dragon head with a dragon ball in its mouth, and there is a toad corresponding to it under each dragon head.If an earthquake occurs on either side, the dragon ball contained in the dragon's mouth in that direction will fall into the toad's mouth, and the direction of the earthquake can be determined from this.
But the seismograph is not to predict earthquakes, but to let people know in advance where an earthquake has occurred after the earthquake. After all, ancient communication is not developed enough, even if an earthquake occurs, it is impossible to know it in the first place.
It is rumored that Zhang Heng's seismograph from the Eastern Han Dynasty is very sensitive, but in modern times, due to the long history, the skills of Zhang Heng's seismograph have been lost, leaving only more than 100 characters of written records. in the dust.
Qin Heng heard the words and replied, "There is no change."
The answer given by Qin Tianjian is similar to no.
The court began to argue again, divided into two factions, one group thought that Xu Jiazi could accurately calculate Yinghuo Shouxin, and must have extraordinary attainments in the art of stargazing. The stargazing results he gave must be taken seriously. The results of the stargazing are notified to the people of Chang'an as soon as possible to take precautions.
The other group felt that how could one person's guess cause a sensation in Chang'an because of a non-existent thing. If it caused panic and an accident, who would be responsible?Moreover, by doing this, isn't it telling the people of the world that His Majesty has lost his virtue, and the heavens are about to punish him?These old ministers assisted the emperor, but they did not do anything immoral, and they refused to accept the words that they would be punished by heaven.
The entire court debate was endless, because no one could convince anyone, so Li Shimin had to say something before discussing.
The news of Dilong's turnaround is likely to cause panic, so the matter of today's court meeting needs to be kept secret, and it has not been spread at all.
But... not all the parents of the students are courtiers, so there are other parents of the students who received the letter.
The news spread in Chang'an on a small scale.
Then, like a single spark, it radiated to the whole Chang'an.
"What? Xu Jiazi was observing the stars in his academy, and found out that the earth dragon is about to turn over"
"The nephew of my relative's family is a student of that college. How can the news that my nephew wrote back in person be false?"
"Dilong turned around, what should we do? We have to prepare early, why not leave Chang'an now and go back to our hometown for refuge."
"Do you believe all the rumors that are not true? It's just a rumor in the market, and it can't be true."
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Anyway, my nephew's family has already sent me a letter telling me to make preparations. I'm going home to pack up my belongings and take refuge now. Hmph, don't forget, the Xu family has accurately calculated the specifics of Yinghuo Shouxin." The time of appearance is stronger than Qin Tianjian."
The whole of Chang'an was full of uproar, some believed it and some did not believe it. Most of them believed that there were students in the college at home. Parents must inform their relatives and friends when they receive the news.
In Chang'an City, a large number of people began to leave the city, and they thought they would go back to their hometown to visit relatives.
Their hometown is in Chang'an, and they have no relatives to go to, so they also started to make some preparations on their own, at least if there is a ground dragon turning around, they will be able to respond immediately.
Influenced by this group of people, the people around them also became more or less nervous. As for those who don't believe it, they are also teasing people every day.
The atmosphere in Chang'an has changed.
Whether Dilong's turnaround is real or not, no one knows yet, but in the court, someone read Xu Changsheng's book. Xu Changsheng had offended many people in the past, but now he has something in someone else's hands, how could he not catch it.
"Your Majesty, Xu Jiazi caused turmoil in Chang'an with false news. The people of Chang'an were terrified, and a large number of people ran away. I implore Your Majesty to punish Xu Jiazi severely."
One of the reasons why Li Shimin didn't release the news of Dilong's turnaround immediately was that he was worried that in the current situation, once such news was released by the imperial court, the whole Chang'an would be in chaos.
The impact of the earth dragon's turnaround in ancient times was too great, it was just a rumor, and chaos had already arisen.
Another person came out, "The most urgent task is to stabilize people's hearts, and I hope that His Majesty will stop the spread of rumors in time, and bring Xu's family back to Chang'an for interrogation, so as to set the record straight."
Li Shimin touched the painting in his hand. Recently, he had been looking at this "Picture of Immortals Watching the Stars", and suddenly said, "But... what if Xu Jiazi's speculation is correct?"
The entire Golden Palace was silent.
Does His Majesty know what he is talking about?If His Majesty admits the news of Dilong's comeback, isn't that acknowledging that he is immoral and that the heavens will punish him?
After all, Li Shimin is a famous monarch of a generation. In front of his reputation and the people of Chang'an, he made a choice and said, "The news of Dilong's turnaround cannot be sent by the court. This will cause greater panic. Don't worry about the current market rumors. If Xu Jiazi's speculation is correct, just to use the rumors to make the people of Chang'an take precautions."
Everyone: "..."
Someone came forward, "But the Xu family has caused such a panic and made Chang'an uneasy, how should we deal with it?" Xu Changsheng's enemies will not let go when they see the rabbit.
The corner of Li Shimin's mouth twitched, he didn't expect that the Xu family's far away from Chang'an could cause such a big incident.
"Someone has to be responsible for such turmoil, and please punish the Xu family severely, Your Majesty."
It is not a small crime to destabilize a city, or the political center of the Tang Dynasty.
Even Li Shimin couldn't protect him. After thinking for a while, "Order the Xu family to return to Chang'an immediately, and deal with it after the matter is over."
At least he gave Xu Jiazi enough time to defend himself.
……
At this time, Xu Changsheng was still waiting for Li Chengqian to write back to him. He was still thinking about secretly discussing with Li Chengqian how to solve the possible earthquake. He also wrote in the letter how to let everyone avoid the earthquake and so on.
He thought he did it secretly, and he didn't know Chang'an because he was tossing so hard, Li Shimin ordered him to return to Chang'an immediately.
His good friend Li Chengqian is also busy wiping his ass right now, leading people to maintain the law and order in Chang'an, so he doesn't even care about the court council. He wants to keep the chaos caused by the Xu family to a minimum.
It was getting late now, and it was estimated that Xu Changsheng would be able to receive Li Shimin's order tomorrow.
Those enemies of the Xu family were going crazy with joy, no one thought that the Xu family would dare to use the ground dragon to make an argument, and made Chang'an panic.
This time, even if the Xu family has the protection of His Majesty and the help of the crown prince, he would never think about retreating completely, causing the whole Chang'an to be in such a state of turmoil. What a crime this is, and it is estimated that even the Xu family village of the Xu family will be affected.
They even got together and celebrated, "The revenge of so many years can finally be avenged. At the beginning, he caused us a lot of misery and left us in a slump for more than ten years. This time we have to let him pay it off all at once. "
"No, this time no one can clear him of the crime. The turmoil in Chang'an has become a fact, and no matter how much he can quibble, it will not change the fact."
The night was getting dark, and the cups were being passed around. These people were so happy that they forgot the time. They all began to fantasize about how the Xu family would be taken back to Chang'an tomorrow. The dean of the mysterious academy would kill himself, ignorant boy That's all, dare to talk about anything.
The night was getting darker and darker, and the whole of Chang'an was shrouded in an unusually quiet night, only a group of family officials who were still celebrating their hard-won victory after waiting for many years.
Suddenly, an official rubbed his eyes vigorously and said, "Could it be that my eyes are dazzled, why did I see the wine in the glass shake just now?"
Everyone laughed, "I'm afraid I'm not too happy. I'm dizzy after drinking too much wine? The wine glass is placed flat on the table, how can the wine in it shake?"
The eyes looked at the wine glasses on the table, and then everyone blinked, this is... what's going on?
Because the wine in the wine glass is like a wave, swaying and swaying, getting more and more fierce.
Suddenly, the wine in the glass was thrown all over the table.
The chickens and dogs in the courtyard were barking and jumping like crazy.
"This is..." someone exclaimed.
Before the sound even fell, the ground trembled for a while, making people dizzy and confused, and there was a buzzing in their ears.
The entire peaceful night, the tranquil Chang'an, was broken by a sudden change. It was midnight at this time, and it was unknown how many people were still fast asleep.
In history, the Great Beijing Earthquake that was recorded in history began.
Because of the recent rumors in Chang'an, many people are more alert than usual, especially those who believe in Xu Jiazi's prediction in the rumors, they have already made some preparations, and they will be more careful at night.
The chickens and dogs started jumping wildly and the ground began to shake. They woke up their family members by yelling in horror, and fled outside. They saw the shaking of the surrounding houses...and the sound of crying and shouting that followed. .
The earth was humming, and the not-so-sturdy houses looked so fragile.
Dilong...turned over!
I don't know how many people can't wake up from their deep sleep. Natural disasters can't be stopped by human power.
At this time, Xujia Village and the academy on the top of the mountain are another scene.
The lights were brightly lit, and the gongs and drums were shaking the sky. The specially increased night duty in the past few days was frantically beating the broken gongs. They beat the sky loudly as soon as the ground shook.
Just like their drills these days, the students didn't even know what happened. Anyway, they turned over and ran outside, forming a conditioned reflex.
He ran out and was still yawning, "This broken gong has deafened my ears."
Before the sound fell, someone exclaimed, "Look, the tree is shaking."
"The ground... the ground is also moving, oh my god, what's going on?"
Then in their eyes, the dormitory they ran out of just now was shaking.
All the students reacted with horror on their faces, "What the dean said... the earth dragon turned over!"
The shaking of the ground was transmitted directly to them, and there was also a buzzing in their ears. Some people were even so frightened that they couldn't stand still.
Xu Changsheng was already shouting with his loudspeaker, "Hurry up and go to the middle of the playground, don't stay around the house, the monitors of each class will count the number of people."
It is the emptiest place and the safest place.
The earth was shaking more and more violently, and those beautiful small buildings in the eyes were shaking visible to the naked eye. Even a group of students who had prepared for a long time showed panic on their faces, and they all said that the most practical thing is to keep their feet on the ground, but now they are standing on the ground. I was also too flustered to calm down.
In particular, a dormitory was shaking, and the walls were cracked, causing a lot of exclamations, as if the small building was about to be twisted into two pieces.
Xu Changsheng's face was not very good. The dormitory he built, the cement foundation, I don't know how much stronger than other houses, and now it can crack a crack, which shows how severe the earthquake is. Others in Datang my house is afraid...
People were in a state of panic, and the faces of the students were terrified. Fortunately, they all came out. If no one beat the gong or woke them up, they would probably still be sleeping in the house in the middle of the night.
The duration of the entire earthquake was relatively long, and the sound of something collapsing in the mountains could even be heard. The fear of the unknown was the most terrifying.
After a while, though, the startling shaking stopped.
Xu Changsheng shouted, "Everyone, don't go back to the dormitory, just stay in the playground tonight."
He was worried that there would be aftershocks, and the damage to the dormitory had yet to be inspected. It was late at night, and even if lanterns were lit everywhere, it was impossible to inspect.
A group of students are very honest now. They saw the whole process with their own eyes, and they gathered together in twos and threes, discussing with lingering fear.
A student suddenly asked, "I don't know what happened to the elders in Chang'an's family?"
"We all wrote letters to our family, and they should have already prepared for it."
Having said that, there is always a little panic in my heart.
"My parents wrote back to me, saying that they went to visit relatives in their hometown."
"My parents also wrote me back..."
The students who did not receive a reply were even more worried.
Xu Changsheng counted the number of people, and Li Junxian also helped maintain order.
The gentlemen looked at Xu Changsheng with different eyes. They saw the whole process of Xu Changsheng's stargazing with their own eyes, and they also heard Xu Changsheng's words with their own ears.
The result of stargazing and divination... was fulfilled in a thrilling manner, and it was thanks to their daily exercises that they did not panic and were able to face the disaster in such an orderly manner.
They know better than anyone else that if they encountered this kind of situation in the past, it would not be like this. In the past, it should be chaotic, and various situations happened frequently. I don’t know how many people are already crying bitterly, and they are already losing their loved ones. Weeping bitterly in the despair of the residence.
Unlike now, although the students also had terrified expressions on their faces, they were all calm and composed, not panicked, and they could still chat in twos and threes.
These gentlemen are very clear about who is responsible for such an orderly result. The Xu family is really evil to the extreme, and thanks to his arrangements for the past few days, he can cope with it freely.
It took Xu Changsheng half an hour to finish counting the students. Fortunately, during the practice, he gave ear orders one by one, emphasizing again and again that these students were considered obedient, and they all ran out. The only few students who were injured were only because they walked too fast Urgent, accidentally scratched, now bandaged, are minor injuries.
In addition to the college, Xu Changsheng and his Xujia Village were about to go down the mountain with a torch to see the situation, when a hurried voice came from down the mountain, running closer and closer.
The voices should be Erdan and Brother Changbai. He arranged Erdan and Brother Changbai in Xujia Village just to notify him as soon as there is any news.
"It's not good, it's not good." Er Dan's voice shouted.
Xu Changsheng's heart sank, did something happen to Xu Family Village?Didn't he arrange for more people to be on duty?
Erdan ran up, "It's not good, our pigsty collapsed and crushed many pigs to death."
Xu Changsheng: "..."
Quickly asked, "Is there any more?"
Erdan is like something big happened, "The cow pen has also collapsed a lot. I heard that the old cows have crushed several heads to death, and there are newborn calves. The horses in the racecourse are also scared and run around. I don't know where I went."
Xu Changsheng simply looked at Brother Changbai.
Brother Changbai said, "Fortunately, everyone is fine. The houses in our village are very strong and have not collapsed."
The people in the village are all rejoicing that in such a big disaster, if the previous house would have been miserable, it would be good for them little immortals to avoid such a big disaster by repairing such a good house for them.
Xu Changsheng nodded. Some of those pig pens, cattle pens and horse pens were not strong enough. If they collapsed, they would collapse. The Xu Family Village can still afford this loss, as long as people are fine.
He was still a little worried, and was about to go down the mountain to see the situation.
Brother Changbai hurriedly said, "Grandfather told you not to go down the mountain, he can handle it, and when we went up the mountain just now, some roads were blocked by mud and rocks, making it difficult to walk."
Erdan exposed his trouser legs, which were covered in mud.
It seems that the earthquake caused the rocks to slide. Fortunately, there was no heavy rain, otherwise the road would be even more difficult.
Xu Changsheng thought about it, and it was indeed too dangerous to go down the mountain now, and Erdan and Brother Changbai couldn't let them go down the mountain at this time.
The students and teachers of the entire college are on the playground. Fortunately, it is summer, even at night, it is not cold outside at all, and the floor of the playground is clean, so it is not dirty just sitting or lying down.
Erdan was still talking to Xu Changsheng about what he saw in Xujia Village.
The aftermath of the earthquake would come from time to time, causing people to panic, but after such a busy night, they were almost tired.
Xu Changsheng was also sitting on the playground and fell asleep before he knew it.
On the second day, the sky brightened up, and a group of students looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling like they were alive after a catastrophe.
Xu Changsheng began to arrange for people to check the extent of the damage.
Fortunately, except for the cracked walls of one dormitory building, there was no collapse. There were a few trees, somehow, raised from the ground, which looked shocking, and the floor tiles were also cracked a bit, but Just get a new one.
In order to avoid the aftermath, Xu Changsheng asked the students not to approach the house as much as possible. Of course, the class must be stopped today, so that Li Junxian can maintain order. Xu Changsheng went down the mountain with Erdan and Changbai to Xujia Village. .
Although Brother Changbai said that Xujia Village was fine, he still had to see it with his own eyes to be at ease.
The road down the mountain is really difficult. The mountain has collapsed in many places, and the soil has accumulated on the road. At that time, some people must be arranged to clean it up. Xujia Village has a lot of people and strength, so this is not a big deal.
When Xu Changsheng returned to Xujia Village, he first found his great grandfather to understand the situation, and then he was relieved.
Last night, Xujia Village was also tossing around for most of the night, and some people were injured, but none of them were life-threatening, and they have already been treated.
Xu Changsheng wandered around Xujia Village, and then went to see what Er Dan said about the collapse of their pig pen, cattle pen and horse pen.
This is how serious the disaster was last night.
Don't think that the disaster is not serious because Xujia Village and the college seem to have no serious problems. That's because the houses in Xujia Village and the college are built on concrete foundations. When they were repaired, Xu Changsheng followed the requirements of modern house construction. Modern houses have anti-seismic requirements, and the foundation is very solid. I didn't expect that the unintentional move at that time would be useful now.
Look at their pigsty, cattle pen and horse pen, which collapsed like ruins, and Datang's house may not be as strong as his pig pen, cattle pen and horse pen.
In particular, on the mountain behind them, a large ice cave was forced out of a mountain peak, with a cold light shining through it. The natural ice bank, even in the dog days, the ice inside would not melt.
Xu Changsheng's heart shrank when he saw these. With such a strong earthquake, the situation in Chang'an might not be very good... He was planning to discuss with Li Chengqian how to deal with the earthquake, but he didn't expect that the earthquake would happen before he received a reply. happened.
After roughly looking at the losses, in addition to the poultry that died in the earthquake, the living ones were also frightened, and it may take some time to calm down. The poultry that was smashed to death should not be wasted, and the excess should be used to rescue Chang'an.
Asking the clan uncle to count the losses, Xu Changsheng hurried back to the college. He was going to... take the students to Chang'an for disaster relief, especially the students of the medical school, which should be of great use now. Of course, other students have to go, and the distribution will follow Food, water, daily necessities, comfort to the victims, etc.
When Xu Changsheng returned to the academy, he got the students into action.
Because Xujia Village is the supply base of Xujia Supermarket, they have hoarded a lot of materials, and now they need them to transport some to Chang'an.
……
At this time, Chang'an was in chaos, which was good. After all, the rumors had spread for several days. Some of them went back to their hometown to visit relatives and left. The rest made them mentally prepared, and some people even made some defenses in advance. , survived to the greatest extent possible.
Li Shimin didn't have time to send someone to let Xu Changsheng go back to Chang'an for interrogation, and the other ministers didn't mention this matter anymore, why did they go to frame the Xu family, saying that he was deceiving the public?Said that he disturbed Chang'an with his words and false news?Said he caused chaos in Chang'an?
Shit, now that Xu Changsheng's stargazing really happened, if the people of Chang'an knew who was preventing the Xu family's early warning at the court, the people of Chang'an would probably be able to tear a piece of their flesh off.
Li Shimin didn't have time to take care of the Xu family, nor did he have time to take care of these ministers. He was dealing with the current situation in Chang'an with a dark face.
It is also fortunate that he did not stop the spread of the rumors, but let the rumors alert the people of Chang'an, otherwise the situation would be even more serious.
Even so, Chang'an is crying all over the place now. Throughout Chang'an, many buildings have collapsed, many people have been injured, and many people have been injured due to panic.
Someone reported, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Hospital has been ordered to treat the wounded, but... the number of doctors is seriously insufficient, so we have to treat the seriously injured first, while the others have not been treated, and the injured are emotional. ,influence the others."
Li Shimin said, "The doctor in Chang'an has also mobilized."
Come humanely said, "The doctor in the city has forced them to give medical treatment."
But doctors were very rare in ancient times, a city, in fact, only those, usually enough, but now...
Li Shimin frowned. He knew that if these injured people were not treated, they were the most likely to lose control of their emotions. Their agitation and sadness were also the most likely to affect the people who had just been affected by the disaster. They are the most sensitive at this time. It must be dealt with.
At this time, another soldier came to report, "Your Majesty, the family members of the injured started to make trouble because their family members did not receive treatment. Now a lot of people have gathered. Please order to suppress them, Your Majesty, so as not to cause more civil disturbances."
Suppress them?
They are poor sufferers.
But we can't let them go on, this is just the beginning, if we don't stop them, I'm afraid it will cause the biggest commotion.
A minister has already suggested, "Your Majesty, please take the overall situation into consideration and send the Imperial Army to suppress it. If they are not controlled, they will turn from rioters into mobs."
"Yes, Your Majesty, please put the overall situation first. Now is not the time to reason with them."
"Although suppression is inappropriate, this is the only way. We should focus on controlling the disaster instead of appeasing these troublemakers."
Li Shimin frowned, and just when he didn't know how to make a decision, someone came to report, "Your Majesty, the families of the injured have been comforted. They have calmed down and are waiting for relief."
Li Shimin was taken aback, didn't he just say that it was about to cause civil unrest?Why did you suddenly calm down?
The surrounding ministers were also stunned, and it is reasonable that they would not calm down so easily. The family members of the injured, who do not want their own family members to be treated first, they don't care about other people's injuries.
Without waiting for others to ask, the person who reported said, "The dean and two gentlemen of Datang Institute of Technology and two hundred doctors are bandaging and treating the wounded in Chang'an, and other students are also distributing the most basic food to the people of Chang'an. And water, that calmed them down."
Li Shimin and a group of ministers were stunned, "How much? Two hundred doctors?"
How is this possible, the number of doctors is scarce, how could two hundred suddenly appear.
The person who made the report replied, "It's not right to say that they are doctors. They are two hundred students of Xujiazi Medical College. Xujiazi said that they have studied emergency rescue courses and can deal with minor injuries, so they asked the Tai Hospital to hand over all the patients with minor injuries. They handle it."
Xu Jiazi still came to Chang'an, not to accept interrogation and punishment, but to bring his students to treat the victims of Chang'an disaster.
Only then did Li Shimin and a group of ministers realize that Xujiazi Medical College had recruited a large number of students, which shocked many people.
Unexpectedly, his two hundred students would come in handy so quickly, and they just solved his urgent need.
Li Shimin said, "Xu Jiazi had the merit of watching the stars for us in the Tang Dynasty and warning in advance. Xu Jiazi had the merit of leading his students to rescue the victims in times of crisis. His students also contributed. Write them down and report them when the disaster situation stabilizes."
The group of people who originally wanted to take the opportunity to suppress Xu's family were stunned, how could things turn out like this, but they didn't even dare to fart, so they could only listen.
Xu Changsheng was leading his students around Chang'an to treat people. They couldn't treat serious injuries, but they could still bandage people up to stop the bleeding.
These students have also specially learned how Xu Changsheng comforts patients, with confident expressions on their faces, they must first convince patients of their medical skills, even though they have not studied for long, they can also deal with these simple injuries.
"Don't worry, uncle, it's just your injury, I'll wash it for you and put some medicine on it to bandage it." The student said confidently.
"But why is it so painful?"
"I'm washing your wound with alcohol to prevent infection. Of course it hurts. If you don't believe me, cut a wound yourself and pour some wine on it. See if it hurts."
"..."
"Student, I asked you to heal your injuries. Are your medical skills good? You seem a little too young at your age."
"Uncle, have you seen the box on my back? It's filled with the best medicine, and I'm a medical student. Do you know who the dean of our family is? Can his students be bad?"
Apart from the [-] busy students, other students were also distributing bread and water, "Don't worry everyone, the disaster is over, we have enough food, no one will go hungry."
A group of students, they are like messengers of hope in a disaster, this group of students is definitely the strangest and most beautiful color in Chang'an City.
In Chang'an City, the originally sad atmosphere and the original crying sound became much weaker after the group of students passed by.
The disaster is inevitable and has already happened, but care is everywhere. In the saddest moment, even if they can't do anything, at least they can send a little warmth.
Standing on the city wall, Li Shimin looked at the students passing by like a warm wind below, among them was a small figure that caught the attention.
Li Zhi carried a big bag on his back. This was the bread he had carried all the way from Xujia Village. Because the horses in Xujia Village were frightened and many of them were useless, they had to carry the bread back step by step and walked to Chang'an.
Li Zhi was taking out bread from his big backpack, and handed it to the homeless person, "Eat it, I can go to Xujia Village to carry the bread if it's not enough."
How far is Xujia Village from Chang'an, it is impossible for the people in Chang'an not to know that such a small person has carried bread for them so far.
Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi, who had always been submissive in his heart, and then glanced in the direction of the palace. There were still a few sons he had been optimistic about, who were arguing and expressing their opinions, talking freely, and talking about how to rescue the disaster.
At this time, Xu Changsheng also met with the rescue team led by Li Chengqian.
Xu Changsheng thought for a while, and said, "I will ask the students to set up a few temporary places for medical treatment and food distribution, and I will also trouble His Highness the Crown Prince to bring the wounded people I found."
Chang'an is so big, it's not a problem for all of them to run around the city like this. They have to fix a few places so that everyone around them knows where they are, and others continue to rescue them all over the city.
Li Chengqian nodded, "I haven't received your letter yet, and I didn't expect it to happen."
Then he said, "Father originally ordered you to return to Chang'an for interrogation."
Xu Changsheng was taken aback, "Interrogated?"
Li Chengqian: "Those students of yours spread your stargazing experience and results throughout Chang'an, and you were the only one who secretly discussed with me, and some ministers joined you in spreading rumors to confuse the public and disrupt the order in Chang'an."
Xu Changsheng was very surprised. He only now knew that the people in Chang'an already knew about him predicting the earthquake.
Li Chengqian said a few more words, "It's also thanks to those students of yours who brought the news back. The emperor did not stop the spread of rumors, which made the people of Chang'an more or less prepared, reducing a lot of casualties and losses."
this is a typo
For the students, they think it is very fun. During class, when they hear the sound of the gong, they will run outside laughing and joking, because the dean said that as long as they hear the sound of the gong, no matter what they are doing, they will go outside to an open place run.
When they started running, they were still a bit chaotic, but Xu Changsheng corrected them a few times, and then there was a lot of order.
The only thing the students don't like is that they also beat the gong at night. Fortunately, it's not too late, so they just go out for a walk.
They probably know what the dean is guarding against, because they were the first to know about the results of the stargazing by the dean.
The students were a little scared, but deep down they wanted to know whether the stargazing result of the dean was real, so they felt a little complicated.
Medical students are learning first aid, bandaging wounds, stopping bleeding, setting bones, etc., and most importantly, they are also learning their own sutures.
Xu Changsheng even took part in the battle himself, and shared some common sense on how to use alcohol for disinfection and how to comfort patients. People in disasters actually need comfort the most.
In Chang'an, many parents trembled with the letters in their hands, and their faces turned pale.
This letter was written to them by the students, about the results of Xu Changsheng's observation of the stars.
Because Xu Changsheng accurately calculated the specific time for Ying Huo to guard his heart, the meaning of this letter is different now.
"Earth Dragon...turn over?"
Many people turned pale, especially those who had experienced this kind of disaster. They knew that it would be such a disaster that manpower cannot resist.
Some of the parents of these students were officials in the imperial court, and they immediately reported the matter to the imperial court.
"Your Majesty, when I received a letter from the younger generation at home, Xu Jiazi was on the top of the mountain to observe the stars for me in the Tang Dynasty. The result of the measurement is that natural disasters are approaching, and the earth dragon will turn around. I hope Your Majesty will make preparations early."
There was an uproar, just hearing the word Dilong turn over, I don't know how many courtiers trembled.
"Nonsense, my Great Tang was in the midst of prosperity, how... how could such a natural disaster happen?"
"The warning of natural disasters means that the Son of Heaven has no virtue. Could it be that Xu Jiazi is saying that His Majesty has no virtue?"
Of course, there was also a voice saying, "Xu Jiazi accurately tested Yinghuo Shouxin, what if his stargazing results are also correct?"
There was a lot of quarreling, and they were very excited. Many veterans felt that their Tang Dynasty is now prosperous and the world is peaceful, and it has been a long time since they have been harmed by swords and soldiers. It is impossible for the heavens to send such a disaster.
"Your Majesty, don't make the people panic because of one person's words, and the world will be shaken."
"Yes, we are living a good life now, and no accidents should happen."
Their Great Tang is now so powerful, how could there be a natural disaster?
It's not that Li Shimin doesn't believe in Xu Changsheng, but if the news is released, people in Chang'an, which is rarely peaceful and prosperous, may panic. But if the news is not released, people will be prepared early, so what if Xu Jiazi's prediction is true?
Of course he didn't want Xu Jiazi's prediction to be true, because Dilong turned over, according to the previous statement, it means that he has no virtue, so heaven sent down punishment.
But Xu Jiazi is too evil, and he can't pretend that he didn't hear anything.
and……
Li Shimin's hand was caressing a painting, which was the "Picture of Immortals Watching the Stars". On it, the young man floated like an immortal, standing on the top of the mountain to observe the stars and predict his luck.
Li Shimin could even imagine what kind of picture it was.
He received Li Gang's letter and this painting earlier than these courtiers, that is to say, even if these ministers did not mention it at the court meeting, he still knew the result of stargazing.
Li Shimin frowned, looked at the people who were arguing endlessly below, and then said, "What did Qin Tianjian find?"
Qin Heng, deputy supervisor of the Qin Tianjian, stood up. He was very embarrassed recently. When everyone mentioned Qin Tianjian, the first thing that came to mind was how their Qin Tianjian was crushed by that academy. The students can accurately calculate the specific time of Yinghuo Shouxin, but they can't Qintianjian, which is the most powerful institution in astronomy and metaphysics on behalf of the Tang Dynasty.
Now, others don't think so, what is the most powerful institution?Certainly not as good as that college.
Now that Qin Heng is being named, the pressure has suddenly increased. If he says something different from Xu Jiazi's stargazing results, if it is wrong, it will be embarrassing.
Qin Heng's face was serious, and he gritted his teeth after a while and said, "Qin Tianjian hasn't noticed anything unusual recently."
After finishing speaking, I still didn't forget to add a sentence, "The sky is dark and complex, and the ministers and others have little talent and learning, so there will be omissions."
He said that he didn't find anything unusual, but he didn't deny that Xu Jiazi might have seen something.
He didn't dare to deny it, if he was wrong again, Qin Tianjian would have to be pushed to the forefront.
Li Shimin glanced at Qin Heng, he was really... tactful, and said, "Is there any abnormality in the seismograph of Qin Tianjian?"
This seismograph was passed down from the Eastern Han Dynasty. After some improvements, it has eight orientations. Each orientation has a dragon head with a dragon ball in its mouth, and there is a toad corresponding to it under each dragon head.If an earthquake occurs on either side, the dragon ball contained in the dragon's mouth in that direction will fall into the toad's mouth, and the direction of the earthquake can be determined from this.
But the seismograph is not to predict earthquakes, but to let people know in advance where an earthquake has occurred after the earthquake. After all, ancient communication is not developed enough, even if an earthquake occurs, it is impossible to know it in the first place.
It is rumored that Zhang Heng's seismograph from the Eastern Han Dynasty is very sensitive, but in modern times, due to the long history, the skills of Zhang Heng's seismograph have been lost, leaving only more than 100 characters of written records. in the dust.
Qin Heng heard the words and replied, "There is no change."
The answer given by Qin Tianjian is similar to no.
The court began to argue again, divided into two factions, one group thought that Xu Jiazi could accurately calculate Yinghuo Shouxin, and must have extraordinary attainments in the art of stargazing. The stargazing results he gave must be taken seriously. The results of the stargazing are notified to the people of Chang'an as soon as possible to take precautions.
The other group felt that how could one person's guess cause a sensation in Chang'an because of a non-existent thing. If it caused panic and an accident, who would be responsible?Moreover, by doing this, isn't it telling the people of the world that His Majesty has lost his virtue, and the heavens are about to punish him?These old ministers assisted the emperor, but they did not do anything immoral, and they refused to accept the words that they would be punished by heaven.
The entire court debate was endless, because no one could convince anyone, so Li Shimin had to say something before discussing.
The news of Dilong's turnaround is likely to cause panic, so the matter of today's court meeting needs to be kept secret, and it has not been spread at all.
But... not all the parents of the students are courtiers, so there are other parents of the students who received the letter.
The news spread in Chang'an on a small scale.
Then, like a single spark, it radiated to the whole Chang'an.
"What? Xu Jiazi was observing the stars in his academy, and found out that the earth dragon is about to turn over"
"The nephew of my relative's family is a student of that college. How can the news that my nephew wrote back in person be false?"
"Dilong turned around, what should we do? We have to prepare early, why not leave Chang'an now and go back to our hometown for refuge."
"Do you believe all the rumors that are not true? It's just a rumor in the market, and it can't be true."
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Anyway, my nephew's family has already sent me a letter telling me to make preparations. I'm going home to pack up my belongings and take refuge now. Hmph, don't forget, the Xu family has accurately calculated the specifics of Yinghuo Shouxin." The time of appearance is stronger than Qin Tianjian."
The whole of Chang'an was full of uproar, some believed it and some did not believe it. Most of them believed that there were students in the college at home. Parents must inform their relatives and friends when they receive the news.
In Chang'an City, a large number of people began to leave the city, and they thought they would go back to their hometown to visit relatives.
Their hometown is in Chang'an, and they have no relatives to go to, so they also started to make some preparations on their own, at least if there is a ground dragon turning around, they will be able to respond immediately.
Influenced by this group of people, the people around them also became more or less nervous. As for those who don't believe it, they are also teasing people every day.
The atmosphere in Chang'an has changed.
Whether Dilong's turnaround is real or not, no one knows yet, but in the court, someone read Xu Changsheng's book. Xu Changsheng had offended many people in the past, but now he has something in someone else's hands, how could he not catch it.
"Your Majesty, Xu Jiazi caused turmoil in Chang'an with false news. The people of Chang'an were terrified, and a large number of people ran away. I implore Your Majesty to punish Xu Jiazi severely."
One of the reasons why Li Shimin didn't release the news of Dilong's turnaround immediately was that he was worried that in the current situation, once such news was released by the imperial court, the whole Chang'an would be in chaos.
The impact of the earth dragon's turnaround in ancient times was too great, it was just a rumor, and chaos had already arisen.
Another person came out, "The most urgent task is to stabilize people's hearts, and I hope that His Majesty will stop the spread of rumors in time, and bring Xu's family back to Chang'an for interrogation, so as to set the record straight."
Li Shimin touched the painting in his hand. Recently, he had been looking at this "Picture of Immortals Watching the Stars", and suddenly said, "But... what if Xu Jiazi's speculation is correct?"
The entire Golden Palace was silent.
Does His Majesty know what he is talking about?If His Majesty admits the news of Dilong's comeback, isn't that acknowledging that he is immoral and that the heavens will punish him?
After all, Li Shimin is a famous monarch of a generation. In front of his reputation and the people of Chang'an, he made a choice and said, "The news of Dilong's turnaround cannot be sent by the court. This will cause greater panic. Don't worry about the current market rumors. If Xu Jiazi's speculation is correct, just to use the rumors to make the people of Chang'an take precautions."
Everyone: "..."
Someone came forward, "But the Xu family has caused such a panic and made Chang'an uneasy, how should we deal with it?" Xu Changsheng's enemies will not let go when they see the rabbit.
The corner of Li Shimin's mouth twitched, he didn't expect that the Xu family's far away from Chang'an could cause such a big incident.
"Someone has to be responsible for such turmoil, and please punish the Xu family severely, Your Majesty."
It is not a small crime to destabilize a city, or the political center of the Tang Dynasty.
Even Li Shimin couldn't protect him. After thinking for a while, "Order the Xu family to return to Chang'an immediately, and deal with it after the matter is over."
At least he gave Xu Jiazi enough time to defend himself.
……
At this time, Xu Changsheng was still waiting for Li Chengqian to write back to him. He was still thinking about secretly discussing with Li Chengqian how to solve the possible earthquake. He also wrote in the letter how to let everyone avoid the earthquake and so on.
He thought he did it secretly, and he didn't know Chang'an because he was tossing so hard, Li Shimin ordered him to return to Chang'an immediately.
His good friend Li Chengqian is also busy wiping his ass right now, leading people to maintain the law and order in Chang'an, so he doesn't even care about the court council. He wants to keep the chaos caused by the Xu family to a minimum.
It was getting late now, and it was estimated that Xu Changsheng would be able to receive Li Shimin's order tomorrow.
Those enemies of the Xu family were going crazy with joy, no one thought that the Xu family would dare to use the ground dragon to make an argument, and made Chang'an panic.
This time, even if the Xu family has the protection of His Majesty and the help of the crown prince, he would never think about retreating completely, causing the whole Chang'an to be in such a state of turmoil. What a crime this is, and it is estimated that even the Xu family village of the Xu family will be affected.
They even got together and celebrated, "The revenge of so many years can finally be avenged. At the beginning, he caused us a lot of misery and left us in a slump for more than ten years. This time we have to let him pay it off all at once. "
"No, this time no one can clear him of the crime. The turmoil in Chang'an has become a fact, and no matter how much he can quibble, it will not change the fact."
The night was getting dark, and the cups were being passed around. These people were so happy that they forgot the time. They all began to fantasize about how the Xu family would be taken back to Chang'an tomorrow. The dean of the mysterious academy would kill himself, ignorant boy That's all, dare to talk about anything.
The night was getting darker and darker, and the whole of Chang'an was shrouded in an unusually quiet night, only a group of family officials who were still celebrating their hard-won victory after waiting for many years.
Suddenly, an official rubbed his eyes vigorously and said, "Could it be that my eyes are dazzled, why did I see the wine in the glass shake just now?"
Everyone laughed, "I'm afraid I'm not too happy. I'm dizzy after drinking too much wine? The wine glass is placed flat on the table, how can the wine in it shake?"
The eyes looked at the wine glasses on the table, and then everyone blinked, this is... what's going on?
Because the wine in the wine glass is like a wave, swaying and swaying, getting more and more fierce.
Suddenly, the wine in the glass was thrown all over the table.
The chickens and dogs in the courtyard were barking and jumping like crazy.
"This is..." someone exclaimed.
Before the sound even fell, the ground trembled for a while, making people dizzy and confused, and there was a buzzing in their ears.
The entire peaceful night, the tranquil Chang'an, was broken by a sudden change. It was midnight at this time, and it was unknown how many people were still fast asleep.
In history, the Great Beijing Earthquake that was recorded in history began.
Because of the recent rumors in Chang'an, many people are more alert than usual, especially those who believe in Xu Jiazi's prediction in the rumors, they have already made some preparations, and they will be more careful at night.
The chickens and dogs started jumping wildly and the ground began to shake. They woke up their family members by yelling in horror, and fled outside. They saw the shaking of the surrounding houses...and the sound of crying and shouting that followed. .
The earth was humming, and the not-so-sturdy houses looked so fragile.
Dilong...turned over!
I don't know how many people can't wake up from their deep sleep. Natural disasters can't be stopped by human power.
At this time, Xujia Village and the academy on the top of the mountain are another scene.
The lights were brightly lit, and the gongs and drums were shaking the sky. The specially increased night duty in the past few days was frantically beating the broken gongs. They beat the sky loudly as soon as the ground shook.
Just like their drills these days, the students didn't even know what happened. Anyway, they turned over and ran outside, forming a conditioned reflex.
He ran out and was still yawning, "This broken gong has deafened my ears."
Before the sound fell, someone exclaimed, "Look, the tree is shaking."
"The ground... the ground is also moving, oh my god, what's going on?"
Then in their eyes, the dormitory they ran out of just now was shaking.
All the students reacted with horror on their faces, "What the dean said... the earth dragon turned over!"
The shaking of the ground was transmitted directly to them, and there was also a buzzing in their ears. Some people were even so frightened that they couldn't stand still.
Xu Changsheng was already shouting with his loudspeaker, "Hurry up and go to the middle of the playground, don't stay around the house, the monitors of each class will count the number of people."
It is the emptiest place and the safest place.
The earth was shaking more and more violently, and those beautiful small buildings in the eyes were shaking visible to the naked eye. Even a group of students who had prepared for a long time showed panic on their faces, and they all said that the most practical thing is to keep their feet on the ground, but now they are standing on the ground. I was also too flustered to calm down.
In particular, a dormitory was shaking, and the walls were cracked, causing a lot of exclamations, as if the small building was about to be twisted into two pieces.
Xu Changsheng's face was not very good. The dormitory he built, the cement foundation, I don't know how much stronger than other houses, and now it can crack a crack, which shows how severe the earthquake is. Others in Datang my house is afraid...
People were in a state of panic, and the faces of the students were terrified. Fortunately, they all came out. If no one beat the gong or woke them up, they would probably still be sleeping in the house in the middle of the night.
The duration of the entire earthquake was relatively long, and the sound of something collapsing in the mountains could even be heard. The fear of the unknown was the most terrifying.
After a while, though, the startling shaking stopped.
Xu Changsheng shouted, "Everyone, don't go back to the dormitory, just stay in the playground tonight."
He was worried that there would be aftershocks, and the damage to the dormitory had yet to be inspected. It was late at night, and even if lanterns were lit everywhere, it was impossible to inspect.
A group of students are very honest now. They saw the whole process with their own eyes, and they gathered together in twos and threes, discussing with lingering fear.
A student suddenly asked, "I don't know what happened to the elders in Chang'an's family?"
"We all wrote letters to our family, and they should have already prepared for it."
Having said that, there is always a little panic in my heart.
"My parents wrote back to me, saying that they went to visit relatives in their hometown."
"My parents also wrote me back..."
The students who did not receive a reply were even more worried.
Xu Changsheng counted the number of people, and Li Junxian also helped maintain order.
The gentlemen looked at Xu Changsheng with different eyes. They saw the whole process of Xu Changsheng's stargazing with their own eyes, and they also heard Xu Changsheng's words with their own ears.
The result of stargazing and divination... was fulfilled in a thrilling manner, and it was thanks to their daily exercises that they did not panic and were able to face the disaster in such an orderly manner.
They know better than anyone else that if they encountered this kind of situation in the past, it would not be like this. In the past, it should be chaotic, and various situations happened frequently. I don’t know how many people are already crying bitterly, and they are already losing their loved ones. Weeping bitterly in the despair of the residence.
Unlike now, although the students also had terrified expressions on their faces, they were all calm and composed, not panicked, and they could still chat in twos and threes.
These gentlemen are very clear about who is responsible for such an orderly result. The Xu family is really evil to the extreme, and thanks to his arrangements for the past few days, he can cope with it freely.
It took Xu Changsheng half an hour to finish counting the students. Fortunately, during the practice, he gave ear orders one by one, emphasizing again and again that these students were considered obedient, and they all ran out. The only few students who were injured were only because they walked too fast Urgent, accidentally scratched, now bandaged, are minor injuries.
In addition to the college, Xu Changsheng and his Xujia Village were about to go down the mountain with a torch to see the situation, when a hurried voice came from down the mountain, running closer and closer.
The voices should be Erdan and Brother Changbai. He arranged Erdan and Brother Changbai in Xujia Village just to notify him as soon as there is any news.
"It's not good, it's not good." Er Dan's voice shouted.
Xu Changsheng's heart sank, did something happen to Xu Family Village?Didn't he arrange for more people to be on duty?
Erdan ran up, "It's not good, our pigsty collapsed and crushed many pigs to death."
Xu Changsheng: "..."
Quickly asked, "Is there any more?"
Erdan is like something big happened, "The cow pen has also collapsed a lot. I heard that the old cows have crushed several heads to death, and there are newborn calves. The horses in the racecourse are also scared and run around. I don't know where I went."
Xu Changsheng simply looked at Brother Changbai.
Brother Changbai said, "Fortunately, everyone is fine. The houses in our village are very strong and have not collapsed."
The people in the village are all rejoicing that in such a big disaster, if the previous house would have been miserable, it would be good for them little immortals to avoid such a big disaster by repairing such a good house for them.
Xu Changsheng nodded. Some of those pig pens, cattle pens and horse pens were not strong enough. If they collapsed, they would collapse. The Xu Family Village can still afford this loss, as long as people are fine.
He was still a little worried, and was about to go down the mountain to see the situation.
Brother Changbai hurriedly said, "Grandfather told you not to go down the mountain, he can handle it, and when we went up the mountain just now, some roads were blocked by mud and rocks, making it difficult to walk."
Erdan exposed his trouser legs, which were covered in mud.
It seems that the earthquake caused the rocks to slide. Fortunately, there was no heavy rain, otherwise the road would be even more difficult.
Xu Changsheng thought about it, and it was indeed too dangerous to go down the mountain now, and Erdan and Brother Changbai couldn't let them go down the mountain at this time.
The students and teachers of the entire college are on the playground. Fortunately, it is summer, even at night, it is not cold outside at all, and the floor of the playground is clean, so it is not dirty just sitting or lying down.
Erdan was still talking to Xu Changsheng about what he saw in Xujia Village.
The aftermath of the earthquake would come from time to time, causing people to panic, but after such a busy night, they were almost tired.
Xu Changsheng was also sitting on the playground and fell asleep before he knew it.
On the second day, the sky brightened up, and a group of students looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling like they were alive after a catastrophe.
Xu Changsheng began to arrange for people to check the extent of the damage.
Fortunately, except for the cracked walls of one dormitory building, there was no collapse. There were a few trees, somehow, raised from the ground, which looked shocking, and the floor tiles were also cracked a bit, but Just get a new one.
In order to avoid the aftermath, Xu Changsheng asked the students not to approach the house as much as possible. Of course, the class must be stopped today, so that Li Junxian can maintain order. Xu Changsheng went down the mountain with Erdan and Changbai to Xujia Village. .
Although Brother Changbai said that Xujia Village was fine, he still had to see it with his own eyes to be at ease.
The road down the mountain is really difficult. The mountain has collapsed in many places, and the soil has accumulated on the road. At that time, some people must be arranged to clean it up. Xujia Village has a lot of people and strength, so this is not a big deal.
When Xu Changsheng returned to Xujia Village, he first found his great grandfather to understand the situation, and then he was relieved.
Last night, Xujia Village was also tossing around for most of the night, and some people were injured, but none of them were life-threatening, and they have already been treated.
Xu Changsheng wandered around Xujia Village, and then went to see what Er Dan said about the collapse of their pig pen, cattle pen and horse pen.
This is how serious the disaster was last night.
Don't think that the disaster is not serious because Xujia Village and the college seem to have no serious problems. That's because the houses in Xujia Village and the college are built on concrete foundations. When they were repaired, Xu Changsheng followed the requirements of modern house construction. Modern houses have anti-seismic requirements, and the foundation is very solid. I didn't expect that the unintentional move at that time would be useful now.
Look at their pigsty, cattle pen and horse pen, which collapsed like ruins, and Datang's house may not be as strong as his pig pen, cattle pen and horse pen.
In particular, on the mountain behind them, a large ice cave was forced out of a mountain peak, with a cold light shining through it. The natural ice bank, even in the dog days, the ice inside would not melt.
Xu Changsheng's heart shrank when he saw these. With such a strong earthquake, the situation in Chang'an might not be very good... He was planning to discuss with Li Chengqian how to deal with the earthquake, but he didn't expect that the earthquake would happen before he received a reply. happened.
After roughly looking at the losses, in addition to the poultry that died in the earthquake, the living ones were also frightened, and it may take some time to calm down. The poultry that was smashed to death should not be wasted, and the excess should be used to rescue Chang'an.
Asking the clan uncle to count the losses, Xu Changsheng hurried back to the college. He was going to... take the students to Chang'an for disaster relief, especially the students of the medical school, which should be of great use now. Of course, other students have to go, and the distribution will follow Food, water, daily necessities, comfort to the victims, etc.
When Xu Changsheng returned to the academy, he got the students into action.
Because Xujia Village is the supply base of Xujia Supermarket, they have hoarded a lot of materials, and now they need them to transport some to Chang'an.
……
At this time, Chang'an was in chaos, which was good. After all, the rumors had spread for several days. Some of them went back to their hometown to visit relatives and left. The rest made them mentally prepared, and some people even made some defenses in advance. , survived to the greatest extent possible.
Li Shimin didn't have time to send someone to let Xu Changsheng go back to Chang'an for interrogation, and the other ministers didn't mention this matter anymore, why did they go to frame the Xu family, saying that he was deceiving the public?Said that he disturbed Chang'an with his words and false news?Said he caused chaos in Chang'an?
Shit, now that Xu Changsheng's stargazing really happened, if the people of Chang'an knew who was preventing the Xu family's early warning at the court, the people of Chang'an would probably be able to tear a piece of their flesh off.
Li Shimin didn't have time to take care of the Xu family, nor did he have time to take care of these ministers. He was dealing with the current situation in Chang'an with a dark face.
It is also fortunate that he did not stop the spread of the rumors, but let the rumors alert the people of Chang'an, otherwise the situation would be even more serious.
Even so, Chang'an is crying all over the place now. Throughout Chang'an, many buildings have collapsed, many people have been injured, and many people have been injured due to panic.
Someone reported, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Hospital has been ordered to treat the wounded, but... the number of doctors is seriously insufficient, so we have to treat the seriously injured first, while the others have not been treated, and the injured are emotional. ,influence the others."
Li Shimin said, "The doctor in Chang'an has also mobilized."
Come humanely said, "The doctor in the city has forced them to give medical treatment."
But doctors were very rare in ancient times, a city, in fact, only those, usually enough, but now...
Li Shimin frowned. He knew that if these injured people were not treated, they were the most likely to lose control of their emotions. Their agitation and sadness were also the most likely to affect the people who had just been affected by the disaster. They are the most sensitive at this time. It must be dealt with.
At this time, another soldier came to report, "Your Majesty, the family members of the injured started to make trouble because their family members did not receive treatment. Now a lot of people have gathered. Please order to suppress them, Your Majesty, so as not to cause more civil disturbances."
Suppress them?
They are poor sufferers.
But we can't let them go on, this is just the beginning, if we don't stop them, I'm afraid it will cause the biggest commotion.
A minister has already suggested, "Your Majesty, please take the overall situation into consideration and send the Imperial Army to suppress it. If they are not controlled, they will turn from rioters into mobs."
"Yes, Your Majesty, please put the overall situation first. Now is not the time to reason with them."
"Although suppression is inappropriate, this is the only way. We should focus on controlling the disaster instead of appeasing these troublemakers."
Li Shimin frowned, and just when he didn't know how to make a decision, someone came to report, "Your Majesty, the families of the injured have been comforted. They have calmed down and are waiting for relief."
Li Shimin was taken aback, didn't he just say that it was about to cause civil unrest?Why did you suddenly calm down?
The surrounding ministers were also stunned, and it is reasonable that they would not calm down so easily. The family members of the injured, who do not want their own family members to be treated first, they don't care about other people's injuries.
Without waiting for others to ask, the person who reported said, "The dean and two gentlemen of Datang Institute of Technology and two hundred doctors are bandaging and treating the wounded in Chang'an, and other students are also distributing the most basic food to the people of Chang'an. And water, that calmed them down."
Li Shimin and a group of ministers were stunned, "How much? Two hundred doctors?"
How is this possible, the number of doctors is scarce, how could two hundred suddenly appear.
The person who made the report replied, "It's not right to say that they are doctors. They are two hundred students of Xujiazi Medical College. Xujiazi said that they have studied emergency rescue courses and can deal with minor injuries, so they asked the Tai Hospital to hand over all the patients with minor injuries. They handle it."
Xu Jiazi still came to Chang'an, not to accept interrogation and punishment, but to bring his students to treat the victims of Chang'an disaster.
Only then did Li Shimin and a group of ministers realize that Xujiazi Medical College had recruited a large number of students, which shocked many people.
Unexpectedly, his two hundred students would come in handy so quickly, and they just solved his urgent need.
Li Shimin said, "Xu Jiazi had the merit of watching the stars for us in the Tang Dynasty and warning in advance. Xu Jiazi had the merit of leading his students to rescue the victims in times of crisis. His students also contributed. Write them down and report them when the disaster situation stabilizes."
The group of people who originally wanted to take the opportunity to suppress Xu's family were stunned, how could things turn out like this, but they didn't even dare to fart, so they could only listen.
Xu Changsheng was leading his students around Chang'an to treat people. They couldn't treat serious injuries, but they could still bandage people up to stop the bleeding.
These students have also specially learned how Xu Changsheng comforts patients, with confident expressions on their faces, they must first convince patients of their medical skills, even though they have not studied for long, they can also deal with these simple injuries.
"Don't worry, uncle, it's just your injury, I'll wash it for you and put some medicine on it to bandage it." The student said confidently.
"But why is it so painful?"
"I'm washing your wound with alcohol to prevent infection. Of course it hurts. If you don't believe me, cut a wound yourself and pour some wine on it. See if it hurts."
"..."
"Student, I asked you to heal your injuries. Are your medical skills good? You seem a little too young at your age."
"Uncle, have you seen the box on my back? It's filled with the best medicine, and I'm a medical student. Do you know who the dean of our family is? Can his students be bad?"
Apart from the [-] busy students, other students were also distributing bread and water, "Don't worry everyone, the disaster is over, we have enough food, no one will go hungry."
A group of students, they are like messengers of hope in a disaster, this group of students is definitely the strangest and most beautiful color in Chang'an City.
In Chang'an City, the originally sad atmosphere and the original crying sound became much weaker after the group of students passed by.
The disaster is inevitable and has already happened, but care is everywhere. In the saddest moment, even if they can't do anything, at least they can send a little warmth.
Standing on the city wall, Li Shimin looked at the students passing by like a warm wind below, among them was a small figure that caught the attention.
Li Zhi carried a big bag on his back. This was the bread he had carried all the way from Xujia Village. Because the horses in Xujia Village were frightened and many of them were useless, they had to carry the bread back step by step and walked to Chang'an.
Li Zhi was taking out bread from his big backpack, and handed it to the homeless person, "Eat it, I can go to Xujia Village to carry the bread if it's not enough."
How far is Xujia Village from Chang'an, it is impossible for the people in Chang'an not to know that such a small person has carried bread for them so far.
Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi, who had always been submissive in his heart, and then glanced in the direction of the palace. There were still a few sons he had been optimistic about, who were arguing and expressing their opinions, talking freely, and talking about how to rescue the disaster.
At this time, Xu Changsheng also met with the rescue team led by Li Chengqian.
Xu Changsheng thought for a while, and said, "I will ask the students to set up a few temporary places for medical treatment and food distribution, and I will also trouble His Highness the Crown Prince to bring the wounded people I found."
Chang'an is so big, it's not a problem for all of them to run around the city like this. They have to fix a few places so that everyone around them knows where they are, and others continue to rescue them all over the city.
Li Chengqian nodded, "I haven't received your letter yet, and I didn't expect it to happen."
Then he said, "Father originally ordered you to return to Chang'an for interrogation."
Xu Changsheng was taken aback, "Interrogated?"
Li Chengqian: "Those students of yours spread your stargazing experience and results throughout Chang'an, and you were the only one who secretly discussed with me, and some ministers joined you in spreading rumors to confuse the public and disrupt the order in Chang'an."
Xu Changsheng was very surprised. He only now knew that the people in Chang'an already knew about him predicting the earthquake.
Li Chengqian said a few more words, "It's also thanks to those students of yours who brought the news back. The emperor did not stop the spread of rumors, which made the people of Chang'an more or less prepared, reducing a lot of casualties and losses."
