After entering junior high school, the proportion of basic knowledge gradually decreased, but the content of various celebrity gossip, novels and magazines increased. Obviously, its original owner was a little girl who was dazzled by the colorful world and had completely forgotten about studying.
Fortunately, even novels were enjoyed by He Qing. After all, these novels had big imaginations and strong stories, which greatly broadened He Qing's horizons.
The only thing that made He Qing uncomfortable was that quite a few of these novels featured Gu Zheng as the protagonist. More precisely, it was about a reborn, time-traveling, original, or indigenous heroine who arrived in this era and fell in love with Gu Zheng himself.
He Qing: “…”
Although I already know that modern society has become more open-minded and marriage is no longer determined by parents or matchmakers, but rather emphasizes mutual consent and free love, but...
He Qing still found it hard to understand the idea of wanting to fall in love with a historical figure.
The worst part is that these stories, whether first-person or third-person, are actually told from the perspective of the heroine, and the sense of immersion is very strong. When the time-traveling women read these novels, they put themselves in the shoes of the heroine, and He Qing can only passively follow suit, experiencing one story after another, either a tragic love story or a sweet and sweet story.
Every time he was acting out, He Qing couldn't help feeling a little dazed, as if he was almost brainwashed into thinking that Gu Zheng was the best man in the world.
Fortunately, although these are all love stories, they are set against the backdrop of this era, and Gu Zheng is the most dazzling star of this era. The development of many things is closely related to him. I believe that many authors have also consulted the information, so they will occasionally write about specific real-life issues.
For example, the part that He Qing turned to that day.
The story begins with an earthquake.
The time of the earthquake is also clearly written: On May 15, the third year of Tianshun, a major earthquake occurred in the capital.
The word "huge" was used, indicating the earthquake's magnitude. The entire capital was shaken, the ground cracked, and countless houses collapsed, crushing their occupants. Even the sturdily built imperial palace was affected, with several buildings collapsing and countless casualties resulting.
The heroine in the story traveled through time and space to the body of a girl who was unfortunately buried in the rubble during the earthquake. She then dug through the broken walls and crawled out. She was seen by Gu Zheng, who was in charge of dealing with the disaster, and thus began a love story in troubled times.
Outside the story, He Qing was also scared out of his wits and broke out in a cold sweat.
Of course, she had experienced this incident in her previous life, but at that time she was just an unappreciated princess in the deep palace. She only knew that there was an earthquake in the capital. As for how serious the earthquake was, how much damage there was, and how many people died, it was not something she could ask about, and it had nothing to do with her.
What's more, King He Yuan of Zhongshan had just arrived in Beijing at that time and was in a stalemate with the empress dowager and court officials over whether to succeed to the throne as the crown prince or the eldest brother of the emperor. No matter what happened, it was more important than this one, so naturally everyone's attention was focused on this side.
As for the life and death of the people in the capital, they became trivial matters before the throne was passed.
Now that I think about it, it was probably precisely because of this earthquake that the capital city urgently needed to be stabilized, so Empress Dowager Lin at the time had to take a step back and agree to let He Yuan inherit the throne as the late emperor's brother in order to appease the people.
Now He Qing knew more, and he stepped out to look at the various signs before and after as a bystander, and finally came to some understanding: perhaps the root cause of the dynasty's downfall was planted from this moment on.
If there's nothing you can do about a matter, or you just dismiss it as something that doesn't concern you, even if you know the consequences will be disastrous, you might just grit your teeth and pretend you don't see it. But once you've started intervening, you can't help but pay attention and intervene again and again.
Just like He Qing, knowing that the Chu Dynasty would fall, she couldn't help but remind the Empress Dowager, causing everything to deviate from the path she had known. And after taking this first step, the matter seemed to become closely related to her, and she could no longer sit idly by.
So now that she knew the severity of the earthquake, she could no longer sit still. She hurriedly changed her clothes and went out to find the Empress Dowager.
The Grand Empress Dowager was still meeting with court officials in the Ziping Palace. On the way there, He Qing thought about this matter over and over again, but gradually calmed down and realized that she couldn't rush out and tell everything, not to mention whether the Grand Empress Dowager would believe her. Even if she did, it would not be appropriate.
The Empress Dowager was already somewhat wary of her, and if she displayed this "precognitive" ability again, she would probably be even more feared.
We have to think of a different way.
She couldn't say this because there was someone else who was more suitable than her.
…
Empress Dowager Zhang was having lunch at the moment. Seeing He Qing, she enthusiastically invited her to join them. He Qing had no choice but to suppress his worries and eat with her. Perhaps because her worries had subsided, Empress Dowager Zhang ate and slept soundly, and her complexion seemed much better.
Because she liked sour food, and there is a saying among the people that "sour boys and spicy girls", the Empress Dowager was very satisfied. Anything she wanted to eat was sent to her in double the amount. She became a lot rounder and looked more wealthy and blessed.
After finishing the meal and sending the people around her away, Empress Dowager Zhang took her hand and sat down, asking, "Master Zhen looks worried. What happened?"
"I had a dream." He Qing lowered his voice and told the story again, saying worriedly, "I'm afraid it's not a good omen."
