Chapter 239 The people are united
Behind him, Wei Jinzhong and others, as well as Zhu Wuwu and Yan Nantian were pulled further and further away. They had no choice but to try their best to catch up.
They are not worried about His Majesty's safety. Duke Zheng will definitely protect His Majesty.
After Zhu Houzhao and others left, the entire capital was buzzing with discussion about this matter.
“An earthquake occurred in Jinzhou, Zhending Prefecture! Your Majesty made such a big move to rescue!”
"Since ancient times, earthquakes have happened from time to time, but there is no need for the emperor to take action personally, right? And it's almost the Chinese New Year."
"Yes, this noise is a bit big. It's just an earthquake, but it actually requires the emperor and Emperor Wu to take action." Riding out together is too exaggerated."
"Bah, what are you talking about? This is because His Majesty loves the people like a son, so he goes to the disaster area to save people at all costs, and you are making sarcastic remarks."
< br>"Yes, damn it, His Majesty the Emperor went to save the people personally, and you are still talking coldly and beating him."
"Hit him!"
"Other than His Majesty, who else has gone to the earthquake-dangerous areas in person throughout the ages?"
"Yes, Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and is truly the most benevolent emperor in the world."
" Meeting Your Majesty is a blessing for the people of Jinzhou, and also a blessing for all the people of Ming Dynasty.”

“Hey, it seems that this year is a good one. It can’t be done. Madam, get ready. I’ll go to the Yamen quickly.”
"Your Majesty has gone to the disaster area in person, how can we still celebrate the New Year? Come on, come on, I'll go to the Yamen immediately. If nothing happens, all kinds of materials will be delivered to Zhending Mansion as soon as possible."
"Give them all to me. Keep a close eye, and the next step is to provide disaster relief with all our strength. Whoever dares to reach out will not let go."
"Immediately mobilize most of the food from around Zhending Mansion and enter it. Now, it is also our Ministry of Commerce. It’s time to play a big role.”
····
From civil and military officials to ordinary people, everything is focused on earthquake relief.
Zhu Houzhao's series of orders, words, and personal actions made the people of the capital pay more attention to an earthquake than ever before.
If it were in the past, after hearing about it, I would at most be curious and indifferent.
The corresponding officials are the same and don't care.
Is it an earthquake? If it happens, the local people will be unlucky and deserve it.
What can they do?
At this moment, the people in the capital are paying a lot of attention and worry.
In the officialdom, all the officials who were on vacation returned to their posts, and the cabinet became busy.
Although the details have not been returned yet, orders have been issued, and a large amount of supplies have begun to be activated and prepared to be transported to Zhending Mansion.
The actions of Emperor Wu's dragon knights are of course the most eye-catching. More than six thousand dragon knights have left the capital and gone straight to Zhending Mansion.
Dragon Rider, who has three thousand missions in hand, is still working hard.
This somewhat chaotic scene made many people watching and those who were in it feel an inexplicable burning sensation.
It was as if my own blood was heating up.
At the same time, silently, something is touching the hearts of the people in the capital and changing their thinking.
“This is the will of the people and the unity of all people!”
After receiving various messages, Liu Jian said with a heartfelt smile and continued his work.
In the palace.
Yao Yue and other imperial concubines gathered together.
If Zhu Houzhao were not around, they would never take the initiative to get together.
But at this time, the girls were all smart and intelligent. Even if they had ideas, they did not act alone, but came together in a tacit understanding.
“Dear sisters, we all know that there was an earthquake in Jinju, Jinjeong Prefecture.
Your Majesty went to Jinzhou to provide disaster relief. With your Majesty's temperament, I'm afraid he won't be back within a few days.
I have nothing to do now and want to go to Jinju and contribute to disaster relief.
I wonder which sisters are willing to go with me? "Qin Mengyao said firmly.
Before she finished speaking, the eyes of the other girls flickered.
"I'll go. "Fu Tianjiao and Jin Bingyun said without hesitation.
"Let's go too." Erbai looked at each other and said.
Luo Xian, Shangguan Xiaoxian, and Lian Xiuxiu followed and asked to go.
"Then let's go find Liu Jin." Yao Yue said the last one. She coldly and arrogantly did not answer, but directly told the key to the problem.
After learning the details of the matter, Qin Mengyao was not the only one who wanted to go to Jinzhou, Yao Yue also wanted to go.
But this is not something they can just say.
They are the imperial concubines of the Ming Dynasty, and at this time, they cannot act arbitrarily.
If you want to leave the palace and go to Jinzhou, you must have Liu Jin's consent.
Because the emperor left, the queen mother had no power, and there was no queen, so the eleven concubines were considered equal.
The one who calls the shots in the palace now is Liu Jin.
If one or two people went to tell Liu Jin, Liu Jin might not agree, because he couldn't afford it if something happened.
But if most or even more of the concubines go together, Liu Jin cannot help but disagree.
Sure enough, when Yao Yue and other eleven concubines stood in front of Liu Jin, Liu Jin only felt his scalp numb.
With his status and strength, if there are only one or two concubines, he is really not afraid, and he will refuse if they refuse.
But if all the concubines come together, who can stop them except Your Majesty?
Liu Jin’s kind words and persuasion were completely ignored by Yao Yue and others.
"Eunuch Liu, our decision has been made, there is no need to say more." Yao Yue said in a deep voice.
"Eunuch Liu, your Majesty is not here. We have nothing to do if we stay in the palace. Your Majesty said that we are the imperial concubines of the Ming Dynasty and shoulder responsibilities.
At this time, we are also needed and tested. The time has come.
We can still help a lot after going to Jinzhou," Qin Mengyao said firmly.
The other girls didn't say much, they just looked at Liu Jin. After a while, Liu Jin couldn't bear it anymore.
“Hey, ladies and gentlemen, you can go, but you can only go in a light carriage, and you can’t make a big show of it, otherwise I’m afraid His Majesty won’t like it.
In addition, safety issues are the most important. Nowadays, most of the masters in the city have important I can't escort the ladies there because of my affairs.
However, Qintian Supervisor Zhang Daoqi can go and invite him in person. You ladies, be prepared. He will be there in an hour. How about meeting outside the palace gate?" Liu Jin pondered.
"Okay, I will follow my father-in-law's arrangements in everything. Thank you very much, father-in-law." Qin Mengyao thanked him.
They didn’t say they didn’t need an escort, that was impossible.
No one can be held responsible if something goes wrong.
"I don't dare to reward you, but I don't dare.
I just hope that you ladies can go to Jinzhou and share more burdens and be happy for Your Majesty, and I will be satisfied." Liu Jin Sincerely.
"Don't worry, father-in-law." Jin Bingyun nodded.
The other girls looked at Liu Jin with a thoughtful and gentle look in their eyes.
Without further words, an hour later, the girls rode their fine horses straight to Jinzhou.
Zhang Daoqi hid in secret to protect.
With Zhang Daoqi's strength, coupled with the strength of the girls, the two great masters had to retreat when they attacked.
If you're not careful, one of you might die.

Zhu Houzhao didn’t know what happened in the capital, and he didn’t have much time to think about it.
At this time, he was holding Cheng Lingsu with one hand and flying in mid-air at an extremely fast speed.
As for Xie Qian, Duke Zheng took him with him.
Again, as long as Zhu Houzhao does not break through to the realm of heaven and man, he will always protect him.
Although the power of the capital would be greatly reduced at this time, he didn't care.
As long as His Majesty is fine, it doesn't matter if the palace is destroyed.
What’s more, there are still several great masters stationed in the capital, and it will be useless even if the great masters are extremely powerful.
Coupled with the suddenness of the matter, the probability of something happening is extremely small.
The atmosphere along the way was depressingly quiet, and no one spoke.
Cheng Lingsu hesitated to speak, but still endured the words of comfort.
It is more than five hundred miles from the capital to Zhending Mansion, and more than six hundred miles to Jinzhou.
Less than an hour later, Zhu Houzhao arrived at the boundary of Zhending Mansion.
Seeing the scene of a mountain road collapsing, Zhu Houzhao and others frowned.
Apparently, this was caused by the earthquake.
The earthquake in Jinju may be more serious than imagined.
They did not go directly to Jinzhou, but went to Zhending.
As a prefectural city, the rescue of Jinzhou must start from here.
Xie Qian showed the way and soon arrived at Zhending.
At this time, there were also traces of earthquakes in Zhending City, many houses collapsed, and cries could be heard from time to time.
The government is still doing something, and some police officers can be seen busy.
But there is no more.
Zhu Houzhao frowned, a little unhappy, and went directly to Zhending Mansion.
"Prefect, come see me." A loud shout resounded inside and outside the government office.
Everyone was shocked, looking at the burly figure wearing a dragon robe in mid-air.
This, this...
After staying in Zhending Mansion for half a quarter of an hour, leaving Xie Qian here to take charge of the overall situation, Zhu Houzhao went straight to Jinzhou with Cheng Lingsu in his arms.
Before approaching Jinzhou, Zhu Houzhao's expression became more solemn.
Nearly all the villages along the way collapsed, and cries and screams were endless.
Many of the living people were wearing thin clothes, with dull and numb faces, looking at the collapsed home.
What is even more terrifying is that in the villages close to the mountains, the rocks collapsed and the entire village was directly submerged, leaving no one left.
Zhu Houzhao's eyes were a little red, and he opened his mental power to the maximum, looking for those who were still breathing under the ruins, and then he used seemingly endless real energy to lift those collapsed ruins, and then went to the next one. place.
Cheng Lingsu went up for treatment, mostly simply controlling fatal injuries and asking the surrounding villagers to pay attention.
No way, this is just the first village, and there will be more injured people. She can't take care of them alone, so she can only do this.
After quickly clearing a village, Zhu Hou looked after the victims who looked at him either numbly or gratefully.
He thought for a moment and said loudly: "I am the Ming Emperor, Zhu Houzhao, and I am here to save you.
Don't worry, food and cold clothes will be delivered to you soon.
Don’t be confused, help each other, let’s get through this difficulty together
I can’t stay here any longer, there are more people waiting for me to save.”
After saying that, he left with Cheng Lingsu who was busy quickly.
The victims in this village were stunned one by one.
Most of those who were numb couldn't help but come back to their senses.
"Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Houzhao~! How is it possible? The emperor came to save us personally." An old man murmured, full of disbelief.
"Is that the emperor? I think he is a god. We will have something to eat, so we don't have to freeze to death and starve to death."
