Liu Chun, accompanied by Lan Xinyue and Xu Miaojin, came to the back of the palace city, and it was between the Imperial Forest Guard Station and the Xuanwu Gate that the big hole appeared.

In the middle of the smooth official road, a large black hole protruded, with a diameter of more than ten meters, and it was black below, and it was impossible to see what it was.

The blue crescent moon was so frightened that her face was palpitating.

She rode by on horseback, but suddenly there was a muffled sound, the ground collapsed, and a carriage beside her disappeared in an instant, and fell into the hole.

Our Miss Lan is brave and fearless, but in the face of these strange things, she was so frightened that she didn't even have time to go home, and it happened that Liu Chun's residence was not far away, so she yelled and came over to ask for advice.

"Lord Yanagi, I saw dust flying, fog rising, and a booming sound inside...... Do you think it leads to the underworld? Lan Crescent said in fear.

Liu Chun glanced at it and knew what was going on.

"It's just the ground sinking, it's nothing spectacular."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone cough and say: "Lord Liu, this place is behind the palace, and it suddenly collapsed, alarming the Dragon Court, you dare to say that it is nothing remarkable?" ”

Liu Chun subconsciously turned around and found that the person who came was the white-haired Wang Rui. He had come from Hanlin Temple, and was about to return to his residence. When he heard that something was going on behind the palace, he hurried over.

Coincidentally, he saw Liu Chun.

It stands to reason that with Wang Rui's identity, he will not be as knowledgeable as Liu Chun, but the problem is that in Suzhou, Liu Chun put his old gentleman together.

Think about it, when he first went, he also swore to the gentry in Suzhou that the imperial court would pay to take care of everyone, so don't worry. But as a result, the money was out, but the merchants in Suzhou also came out with blood.

What's worse is that with the investment of the Royal Bank and Xungui, the gentry group in Suzhou has lost the opportunity to make a windfall.

Merchants and gentry have a relationship with each other, but they are not the same.

The gentry paid attention to cultivating and reading heirlooms, they cultivated their children, studied, gained fame, and became officials. When you become an official, you can reduce or reduce taxes, you can also carry some goods, and you have a lot of privileges. The gentry regarded land as the foundation and commerce as a way to make a fortune.

Most of the scholars do not speak for themselves, and most of them do not run it themselves. The merchants had a low status and were in dire need of shelter, so the gentry and merchants hit it off and became natural allies.

But this alliance made Liu Chun break it. Through the Royal Bank, he pulled the merchant directly over, and the Suzhou gentry hated Liu Chunna.

Some people even scolded him for being a little traitor, a minister of luck, and a traitor......

Liu Chun is really wronged, and now, in addition to getting a set of flying fish suits, he is also an experience officer of the Daning Capital Division, and his rank and position have not been improved.

It's just that I'm still hated and caused a lot of trouble, what am I trying to do!

Liu Chun is now a broken person, and there is nothing to care about. Wang Rui came over to find fault, where did Liu Chun get a good face for him.

"Elder Wang, what do you think?"

Wang Rui snorted and said disdainfully: "Gao Jian doesn't dare to say it, but the monarch is honorable, and the monarch is worried about the humiliation." As a courtier, he should share the worries and solve problems for the Son of Heaven. Now that the palace is shaking, everyone is panicking, and it is reasonable to reassure the people as soon as possible. ”

Liu Chun tilted his head and chuckled, "Elder Wang, how do you think you should appease people's hearts?" ”

"Well...... Naturally, it depends on His Majesty, of course, the hundred officials also introspect together to see if there is any immorality, so that the heavens will send a warning! ”

Liu Chun suddenly laughed, "Elder Wang, according to your meaning, this is a punishment from heaven?" ”

Wang Rui coughed, "What the old man said is a warning, you should be careful." Why did Lord Liu misinterpret the old man's meaning? ”

Liu Chuncai did not misinterpret it, the road surface is sinking, it is not an uncommon thing, and it also follows the warning of the heavens, the induction of heaven and man, and there is no half-dime relationship.

If you have to get in touch with each other, you can only say that these people have ill intentions and want to take God and suppress Zhu Yuanzhang...... Liu Chun is quite happy, let them quarrel with the monarchs and ministers, it's best to give Lao Zhu some color to see, Liu Chun can't wait to see Lao Zhu unlucky!

After Liu Chun saw it, he was too lazy to talk nonsense, threw Wang Rui in place, and returned directly.

"Lord Liu, you haven't said yet, is it the Netherworld?" Lan Xinyue asked curiously, she had asked several times, it was to blame Old Man Wang, she wanted to say a few words to Liu Lang, why was it so difficult?

"That hole, of course, is not the underworld." Liu Chun said: "Blue girl, do you know what the palace is built on?" ”

Lan Xinyue thought for a while, she didn't know that around the time she could remember, the palace was there.

Xu Miaojin said softly: "If I'm not mistaken, the palace was built on top of Yanque Lake!" ”

"On the lake?" Lan Xinyue was shocked, "Sister Xu, what you said is true?" Why haven't I seen a lake? ”

Xu Miaojin said with a smile: "I also heard that His Majesty chose the location of the palace at the beginning, so that he fell in love with Yanque Lake, saying that this is the place of Zhongshou Longpan, looking at the entire capital, this is the most suitable place to build the palace." His Majesty recruited hundreds of thousands of people and soldiers to fill in the lake to build the palace, and finally used the method of laying huge stones, laying dense wooden piles and using the method of layered tamping of triple soil to build the foundation of the palace city, which led to today's palace Ouchi. ”

Lan Xinyue suddenly realized, couldn't help but stretch out her thumb, and praised: "Sister Xu is so powerful, she knows such things!" ”

Xu Miaojin chuckled in her heart, it's not that I know much, it's that your mind is too simple.

"Mr. Liu, you said that the hole in the ground is related to this Yanque Lake?" Xu Miaojin suddenly said curiously.

Liu Chun nodded happily, "That's right, Your Majesty built a palace on Yanque Lake, the lower layer of the soil is soft, there is a lot of water, it is the Spring Festival, the rain is less, the water level of the Yangtze River has dropped, and the groundwater level has also decreased, so it is not surprising that there will naturally be a void and the ground will fall." ”

Liu Chun suddenly became interested, so he just did an experiment.

He found a wooden box with a few holes underneath, filled it with sand, and then got a bamboo tube, inserted it through one of the wooden hollows, and poured clean water into it.

After a while, the water flowed out of the other holes with sediment.

Gradually, the hollow under the sand became bigger and bigger, Liu Chun stopped the water, and then pressed his hand slightly on the surface of the sand that seemed to be safe and sound, where there was no impact, safe and sound, and the empty place below that had been washed by the water sank in an instant, and a black crack appeared, which was full of thumb width, if it was enlarged to the palace, the ground was listed, and a carriage was swallowed, it was not unusual at all!

"Blue girl, do you understand?"

Lan Xinyue stared at the sand in front of her for a long time, and she admired Liu Chun from the bottom of her heart.

"Liu Lang is amazing, he can even explain such a complicated thing clearly, he is too capable." Lan Xinyue's little face flushed, and she praised loudly, and before she knew it, her title had changed.

Xu Miaojin heard Lan Xinyue praise Liu Chun, looking like she was throwing herself to the ground, and she felt uncomfortable in her heart, so she coughed twice and teased: "Yes, Mr. Liu is really capable, but he is afraid of cats, and he was so scared that he ran out barefoot in the middle of the night!" ”

Which pot is not opened, Lan Xinyue was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Liu ...... My lord, it's okay, do you want me...... Find a few people to come over and help Lord Liu keep vigil, so that Lord Liu can sleep peacefully. ”

Lan Xinyue hopes that Liu Chun can agree, when the time comes, she is willing to come over in person, with her, she will definitely let Liu Lang sleep comfortably, safely and steadily, guaranteed!

"Ahem!" Liu Chun coughed lightly, "I'm still used to being alone, and I'll teach that cat a good lesson." ”

Liu Chun was talking, and suddenly the old eunuch came in a hurry.

"It's good that the lord is here, hurry up and follow the slave into the palace to meet the emperor!"

How did you find me again?

Liu Chun is so depressed!

"What the hell is going on?" Liu Chun asked curiously.

The old eunuch, as a Pixiu guard, naturally knew everything...... "That's the case, a hole appeared behind the palace, and a wall in the imperial garden fell, and His Majesty was furious. Some people on the Qin Tianjian side said that this was a warning from heaven and a lack of morality in the imperial court. If you want the emperor to go to the heavens and the earth, it is best, it is best to issue an edict to reassure people. ”

Sure enough, it was the same as Wang Rui's statement.

"What does it have to do with me?"

The old eunuch said: "Of course the emperor will not listen to the words of the petty officials of Qin Tianjian, and asked a few old ministers. Among them, Old Man Wang said that it is better to believe that there is something than to believe that there is nothing. As soon as His Majesty advocated the relocation of the capital, there was a major event in which the palace was shaken...... He felt that this matter might be related to the relocation of the capital, and asked the emperor to think twice before acting, so as not to be condemned by heaven. ”

"He, he also said, since ancient times, the changes in heaven and earth are not small things. Some courtiers, talking nonsense, do not take the changes of the sky to heart, but take women to watch and have fun together, which is really not the way of ministers. Only His Majesty's decree can reassure people's hearts and calm people's words. ”

Liu Chun snorted coldly: "The so-called courtier who watches and has fun, won't it be me?" ”

The old eunuch said: "The lord is really powerful, the emperor just heard the adult, so he asked the adult to come over and listen to your opinion." ”

The old eunuch coughed twice, leaned into Liu Chun's ear, and whispered, "My lord, why did you offend Wang Rui?" When the slave and maid heard him mention you, they gritted their teeth, and said that they would exile the courtiers who had no reverence and were lazy about state affairs for 3,000 miles! ”

Liu Chun said angrily: "He'd better exile me back to Daning, too lazy to intrigue with them!" ”
