    Everyone was in shock, but Yang Jian reacted quickly and immediately arranged for the imperial army to go to the streets to maintain order.  When things have reached this level, a major earthquake must have occurred not far from the capital. I am afraid that the disaster will soon endanger the capital.

    And at this time, people cannot be messy.

    Yang Jian immediately asked the ministers to go back to their respective yamen to handle matters, and convened a meeting with important ministers to discuss the handling of the earthquake.

    As for Yang Guang, he is considered a prince at this time, but due to urgent matters today, all future activities may have to be cancelled.  Yang Guang was also very helpless. Why did this earthquake happen so coincidentally today?

    For Yang Guang, the most important thing now is not to celebrate that his wish has come true and he has won the title of prince, but to find a way to stabilize the situation.  There was an earthquake just after he was made the crown prince. There was no guarantee that someone wouldn't put the two together, make some conspiracies, and throw dirty water on himself.

    The key point is that there is no way to eliminate this kind of thing. There is no way. People in this era are so simple and trust ghosts and gods so much.  If it is not handled properly, Yang Guang may be deposed.

    Taishi Ling Yuan Chong was about to cry. He was derelict in not inferring from the celestial phenomena that the earth dragon would turn over in advance. The day when the earth dragon turned over coincided with the date when the prince was enthroned in the palace, which was even more sinful.  Yuan Chong was also aggrieved. If the saint hadn't pressed hard every day, how could he have chosen today?  The times are bad and the year is unfavorable. Who would have thought that God would do something like this.  What should I do if I offend the saint and the prince?  He had just won Yang Guang's favor through the prophecy of the deposed prince.

    This time the earth dragon turned over, the impact was too great both in terms of politics and people's livelihood. The capital suffered a disaster and the world was shocked.  Officials of various yamen in the capital, large and small, were walking on thin ice and faced a formidable enemy. Their nervousness, fear, and panic were no less than the previous Duliu Rebellion.

    Huang Mingyuan's official office is not in Chang'an, and he is recovering from an injury. Although everyone is very busy, it has nothing to do with him.

    After the dynasty dispersed, Huang Mingyuan was not qualified to participate in the imperial meeting, so he left Daxing Hall alone and headed towards the waiting carriages and horses outside.  The incident did not involve Huang Mingyuan, but Huang Mingyuan couldn't stop thinking about the impact of this earth dragon turning over.

    When Huang Mingyuan read "Sui Shu", he read that a major earthquake occurred not long after Yang Guang was established as prince.  There were strong winds and heavy snow, earthquakes and landslides, many houses were damaged, and more than a hundred people were killed in the capital.

    ¡°But the times in ancient times and modern times are different, and the specific time of this earthquake is not recorded in the book. Huang Mingyuan has never encountered this earthquake until now, and he has even forgotten about it.  And because of its long history, there are different opinions on where this earthquake occurred.  According to later generations, because Qinzhou and Longzhou were the most destructed in history, it is generally called the Qinlong earthquake.

    This earthquake affected a wide range of areas, and was clearly felt from Longyou in the west to Hongnong in the east.  Later generations speculated that the formation should be near today's Longxian County, Shaanxi Province, and the earthquake intensity was about seven magnitude.  The Longxian area is to the west of Chang'an, about four hundred miles away from Chang'an.  Later books regarded Chang'an as the epicenter of the earthquake, and estimated that the earthquake intensity was about 5.5 magnitude.

    Of course, from Huang Mingyuan's current perspective, the earthquake should not have occurred in Chang'an, otherwise the earthquake in Chang'an would have been felt more strongly.

    " Later generations said that the earthquake happened the day after Yang Guang was canonized, and some said it was the night before he was canonized. However, no matter which day it happened, it dealt a heavy blow to Yang Guang's reputation.

    On the day of the canonization of the prince, God sent an earth dragon to warn him. In disguise, it was said that God was dissatisfied with the prince who was about to be canonized in the Sui Dynasty.  People today are generally superstitious, and some things that seem like jokes to today's people were as big as the sky in the eyes of the ancients.  Otherwise, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not have destroyed his son's family because of the "witchcraft" incident.

    This warning from God is tantamount to a stab at the foundation of Yang Guang's rule, causing Yang Guang to fall into the biggest crisis in his life.

    I don¡¯t know how Yang Guang survived this crisis in history, but it is obvious that the current situation is more dangerous than in history.  What's more, the rebellion of the deposed prince has just ended. In addition, this year's large-scale Turkic invasion of the border areas and the surprise attack on Chang'an by the Turks will form a huge wave that will hit the rule of the Sui Dynasty hard.  What will the common people think, and what will the careerists think?

    Huang Mingyuan returned home with heavy steps. These things were beyond his control, and even if he had the intention, he was powerless.

    On the way home, there were many collapsed houses along the way, and there were also cries.  Huang Mingyuan asked Xiong Kuohai to escort him home, and left Huang Qing and others to help rescue people on the street.

    When I got home, there was no commotion at home, except for some old woodsheds, stables and other fragile buildings.It collapsed, most of the buildings in the home were fine, and there were no major casualties.

    Uncle Lai first ordered everyone to go back to their respective places, strictly forbidding anyone to say anything, and once discovered, they would be dealt with immediately; he also directed the servants to send two injured servants for treatment; he arranged for the private soldiers at home to continue uninterrupted  They patrolled the house to ensure the safety of the house; at the same time, they had people clearing the collapsed ruins and repairing the stables.

    Huang Mingyuan followed Uncle Lai to do these things in an orderly manner. Huang Mingyuan felt relieved that he didn't need to do anything by himself.

    Huang Mingyuan walked all the way from the front yard to the backyard, nodding in his mind. Huang Mingyuan was really like a general when he followed Uncle Lai.

    There are no serious masters in the house. Huang Mingzhen and Huang Mingcong are both employed. Although Huang Mingxiang has an errand in Prince Qi's house, he wanders around every day and is often invisible.  My grandfather was obsessed with writing books in his yard and rarely came out on weekdays, so there was no activity in the huge house.

    Huang Mingyuan visited his eldest father. Huang Yinzhi was fine. He had seen a lot in his life and had personally gone to earthquake-stricken areas to provide disaster relief, so he didn't care much.

    After confirming that the eldest father was fine, he went to Lu Zhen's yard alone.  Since her eldest father returned to the mansion, Lu Zhen asked not to live in Huang Mingyuan's bedroom anymore.  No matter how Huang Mingyuan persuaded her, Lu Zhen was determined and said that she could not mess up her status.

    Huang Mingyuan also knew that Lu Zhen's status in the Huang family was very helpless. She was not his concubine. She openly lived in Huang Mingyuan's bedroom and could not block other people's rumors.

    Huang Mingyuan can only let Lu Zhen and Dan Niang live in the small courtyard arranged for her, which is more suitable for both recuperating from injuries and handling official business.

    As long as nothing happens, Huang Mingyuan comes to Lu Zhen's courtyard to have tea every day. This persistence has a different kind of fun.

    There was no one at home today, and Huang Mingyuan was thoughtful, so he naturally came to Lu Zhen's small courtyard.  Lu Zhen was not affected by the earthquake at all. Since she could no longer stay in the house, she put on her cloak and painted in the yard.

    Seeing Huang Mingyuan push the door open and come in, Lu Zhen looked up in surprise, got up and ran over without caring about the writing around her.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
