Liu Qi was sitting in the lobby of the county government. Jiang Wan, Chen Wen, Chen Wu, Zhao Yun, Wen Dai, Deng Zhi and other generals were sitting on both sides. Seeing Liu Qi's serious face, everyone thought something big had happened.
Chen Wen is well aware of Liu Qi's temperament. The young master has the demeanor of a general. He is a man who will not change his expression even if the mountain collapses. Why is he so worried today?
Liu Qi glanced at the generals, coughed slightly, and said slowly: "I urgently summon you all today because of a dream last night that made me uneasy and fearful of something unexpected happening."
Chen Wu asked anxiously: "Sir, what are you dreaming of?"
Liu Qi said: "In my dream, the earth was turned upside down. Thousands of miles of fertile fields turned into scorched earth. All the villages and cities were in ruins. Eyes were full of catkins and countless corpses. This dream was miserable and strange. I asked the generals what was good or bad for them?"
Jiang Wan, Chen Wen and others looked at each other in shock after hearing this. There is no doubt that this dream is a bad omen!
All of you here are not ordinary people. They were only slightly shocked, then shook their heads or made calculations with their fingers.
Chen Wu was happy, and said carelessly: "Young Master, remember to go to Jiangling to look for swords, and stay overnight by the Yangtze River. That night of meteor showers was a sign that the sky was about to change. Now that the Young Master's dream has been turned upside down, it further proves that the world is in chaos and the government is weak.
, the people are in dire straits, and are in urgent need of a bright master to emerge from nowhere, and the world is hanging upside down."
Chen Wen looked at Chen Wu in surprise. He didn't expect that Chen Wu dared to say anything, and he was quite capable of saying it. The implication was obvious. Chen Wu wanted to call on the generals to support Liu Qi as king. Could it be that the young master Liu Qi wanted to take advantage of his dream?
Is it possible to establish oneself as a king based on one's ambition? In today's troubled times, self-proclaimed princes are everywhere, and the son's wish is not treasonous and unethical.
Jiang Wan also started to think about it, and glanced at Liu Qi, but saw that Liu Qi did not express his position on Chen Wu's words. I am afraid that he was using Chen Wu's words to gain the support of the generals? However, Xinye was still young and fledged, so he supported Liu Qi as the general.
The king's time is not ripe, otherwise he will be besieged by the world and be besieged on all sides...
Young Wen Dai showed excitement on his face, stood up and hugged Liu Qi with a fist: "The military general's words are reasonable. The sky changes in dreams, and one must obey the weather. Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan and others in the north can establish themselves as kings. Dong Zhuo has exclusive power in the imperial court. This is exactly
When the heroes of the world rebelled, the young master was a member of the Han clan. He took up the banner of protecting the national flag and established a separate territory in Xinye to defend the imperial court. He trained as a king's teacher and performed the duties of a king. He supported the country at the top and kept the people at peace at the bottom. He was actually the leader of the common people.
Blessing is the blessing of all generals."
As soon as Wen Dai's words came out, the four generals Chen Chun, Chen Xia, Chen Qiu and Chen Dong who stood beside Liu Qi nodded in appreciation. The prince became the king. There is no doubt that the generals will have a broader field of use.
Liu Qi did not show any inclination towards Chen Wu and Wen Dai's words, but looked at everyone in the hall quietly with a smile. The nightmare last night seemed to be a very distant thing, and the generals did not know that Liu Qi proposed to Wen Dai that he would become the king.
What's the idea?
In fact, when Chen Wu was talking about his dream and Wen Dai proposed to use the dream to support Liu Qi as the king of Xinye, Liu Qi was also thinking about what happened in the dream.
Judging from the earth-shaking scene in the dream, it was inferred that it was a major earthquake. Thinking of the earthquake, Liu Qi was shocked. He quickly looked through the historical knowledge he had learned in his mind. After exploring it, he felt relieved.
Some scholars have studied that the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD) was a period of frequent natural disasters in Chinese history, and it was also a period of frequent earthquakes. A major earthquake occurred almost every four years.
In ten years, disasters occurred as many as 375 times. There were 81 droughts, 76 floods, and 68 earthquakes, which brought huge disasters to the land of China.
Liu Qi, who survived the catastrophe at the end of the century and traveled through the Eastern Han Dynasty, seemed to have a natural ability to predict, which was not unrelated to the historical knowledge learned by later generations. Liu Qi, who did not believe in superstition, knew that this was not a dream, but a prediction of advanced creatures on the eve of the earthquake.
Human beings have a special ability to predict disasters. It is estimated that Jiang Wan, Chen Wen, Deng Zhi and others who know astronomy and geography can also guess the earthquake in the dream, and it is not the dream that Chen Wu and Wen Dai said.
.
Liu Qi suddenly thought about the many severe droughts and disasters in Henan's history, and the Wenchuan earthquake in later generations, and the frequent earthquakes in the Han Dynasty, and remembered that in the history of the Three Kingdoms, it seemed that something happened in China in June of the second year of Chuping.
What is the magnitude of a major earthquake? Where is the source? There is no detailed record in history books of how much disaster it caused.
The lunar calendar is close to the beginning of June. According to the Gregorian calendar, it is estimated that there are still a few months left. I don’t know where in China the earth will be hit by this earthquake. Since later history books have gone through 1800 years, there is no detailed record of the earthquake this year. Liu Qi cannot tell what will happen.
People in earthquake areas avoid disasters. It seems that the true recording of all aspects of history is also responsible for the people of past and present lives.
With the power of foresight that he had after rebirth and traveling through the Three Kingdoms, Liu Qi searched his guts and could remember only a few words about the earthquake in China in 191 AD in the vast ocean of history: "Book of the Later Han" recorded by Buyi, at the beginning of Emperor Xian's reign
There was an earthquake in June Bingxu in the second year of Ping (AD 191); "Book of the Later Han? Biography of Cai Yong", there was an earthquake in June of the second year of Chuping, Zhuo (Dong Zhuo) asked Yong (Cai Yong), and Yong replied, "The earthquake
The yin is exuberant and invades the yang, and it is caused by the ministers overstepping their limits."
Due to limited historical records, the knowledge of later generations obtained by Liu Qi cannot predict the correct source and magnitude of the earthquake in advance. Only God knows whether it happened in Xinye, Henan Province. In the face of natural disasters, even future generations with advanced technology are often helpless, not to mention low productivity.
of the Han Dynasty?
Liu Qi saw that Jiang Wan's face was solemn and he seemed to be about to speak but hesitated. Liu Qi raised his hand and motioned for Wen Dai to sit down, pointed at Jiang Wan and said: "Brother Wan, please tell me if you have anything to say."
Jiang Wan did not shy away from mincing words, and said bluntly: "Young Master, Shi Cai Wu, and the two generals Dai want to make you king, which is a good thing, and it will happen sooner or later. However, the world is in chaos, and the new country has been decided. It is not appropriate to expose your strength too early.
It is not advisable to proclaim yourself king too early to avoid making enemies, and moreover, you may be exposed to false accusations, which will be detrimental to the prince's long-term plans."
Zhao Yun echoed: "What Jiang Sima said is absolutely true. We train our troops day and night and wait for the right moment to move. It seems that the time has not come yet, so we must hide our capabilities and bide our time. We are not rushing to do it all at once."
Liu Qi nodded and saw that Jiang Wan avoided talking about the dream and did not force it. He turned to Chen Wen and said calmly: "You all expressed your opinions and have only one purpose. Sooner or later, we will create the king's teacher and do the king's deeds."
, It is the mission of me and the generals to benefit the people. Let’s not discuss the matter of becoming king for the time being. As for the tragic image in the dream, let’s discuss the matter as it is. The dreamer is good or bad. What does Brother Wen have to say?”
Liu Qi named Chen Wen by name, and was very polite to Chen Wen, who was more intelligent than Zhuge. However, he saw Chen Wen stroking his beard, which was already more than an inch long. He thought for a moment and said: "The dream of the young master is mixed with good and bad luck. Good luck for the young master and bad luck for the young master."
To the people."
When Chen Wenyan came out, everyone looked surprised. How could this good and bad thing be related to the young master and the people of Li?
Liu Qi looked at Chen Wen intently, and said oh, knowing that Chen Wen must have something to say, and said: "Brother Wen, tell me."
Chen Wendao: "The dream of the young master is indeed miserable, but it is a sign of earth-shaking and dynasty changes. This dream comes from the young master, so it is auspicious."
Deng Zhi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stood up, bowed to Liu Qi, looked extremely respectful, and said: "This dream is auspicious, congratulations, young master."
Although Deng Zhi didn't say much, he made it very clear that the change of dynasty in the Han Dynasty would definitely come from the son Liu Qi. This was to express his congratulations in advance. This was Deng Zhi's foresight.
Liu Qi smiled calmly, waved his hand, Deng Zhi sat down, and said: "Brother Wen, where did the evil come from?"
Chen Wen had a worried look on his face, his voice was trembling, and he said solemnly: "The dream has been turned upside down. If the dream comes true, it will cause an earthquake in China, and countless people will suffer. This is a disaster."
Jiang Wan looked at Chen Wen with great admiration and interjected: "What the third brother said is very true. In May, there were rumors among the people that in the north of Xinye, thousands of toads migrated in groups, and swarms of wild geese traveled from north to south.
There is a sinkhole of its own, and the river is overflowing, which seems to be a precursor to an earthquake. It seems that the dream of the young master is a dream entrusted to the young master by God, so that I can take precautions as soon as possible."
Deng Zhi answered: "What Jiang Sima said is true. As we all know, in the second month of Guimao, the fourth year of Emperor Jianning's reign (AD 171), there was an earthquake. In June of the second year of Xiping (AD 173), there was an earthquake. Six years later, there was an earthquake.
In October Xinchou, there was an earthquake. In February Xinwei, the first year of Guanghe (AD 178), there was an earthquake. There are earthquakes almost every three or two years. The master’s dream is that there is probably another earthquake. Outside Xinye, there are thousands of people.
The people are starving and are about to suffer such a catastrophe. The yin and yang of the heaven and earth must be out of balance, calling for strong men to come back. Only then can the mountains and rivers be stabilized and the people not suffer."
Chen Wudao: "Earthquakes in famine years are natural disasters, and hunger is a man-made disaster. General Deng said that strong men are coming back. Who is the strong man? He must be the commander of a strong army."
Wen Dai added: "Young Master took advantage of the earthquake to build momentum and raise his arms to gather righteous soldiers from all directions to force Luoyang. He will definitely turn the world around in one fell swoop."
Jiang Wan was a little impatient and argued with the young man Wen Dai: "General Dai's desire to help the young master achieve fame is very commendable, and he is really a formidable young man. However, the time has not yet come for his intention to train troops in the new field and gather righteous men from all over to carry out an action, so he must not be exposed prematurely.
"
When Wen Dai saw Jiang Wan's insistence on delaying the plan to start the incident, he respected Jiang Wan as the sworn brother of the young master Liu Qi and could not speak too much, so he remained silent. However, he felt that it was a pity that the young master Liu Qi missed the opportunity to raise the flag and raise the flag.
Seeing that Liu Qi was silent, Jiang Wan faced Liu Qi and said, "In Brother Yu's opinion, General Dai's words to build momentum are useful. Before the earthquake comes, we can tell the people of Xinye and surrounding counties to be prepared for earthquakes.
We can't control whether earthquake prevention is done or not, but Xinye must take precautions before they happen."
Zhao Yun looked at Jiang Wan with admiration and said: "I also feel the same way as Jiang Sima. It is better to believe in the dream of a prince than to believe that it does not exist. In order to minimize the disasters caused by earthquakes to the people, we should take precautions in advance."
In the county government meeting hall, Jiang Wan, Chen Wen, Zhao Yun and other generals said something to each other. Although it was still unclear whether the earthquake would actually happen, the county magistrate Liu Qi finally tended to the opinion that a major earthquake would occur in the near future.
Next, the generals reached a unanimous consensus. In view of the frequent earthquakes in recent years, while Xinye is still in a temporarily stable environment, various preparations for earthquake prevention should be made.
Since it was predicted that there would be a major earthquake in China in June of the second year of Chuping, which was still a few months away, Liu Qi could no longer sit idly by as a bureaucracy. What a terrible earthquake it was. In an instant, the earth would shatter and tens of millions would be destroyed.
Villages and fertile fields were neglected, and countless living lives disappeared in an instant. This was not the result Liu Qi wanted to see.
Just do what he said, Liu Qi issued an emergency order to carry out pre-earthquake self-examination of dangerous housing hazards throughout Xinye. Officially funded training on earthquake prevention and isolation knowledge required ordinary people to simulate how to save themselves when an eight-magnitude earthquake struck in their actual living environment.
