Volume 9 - Chapter 751 Heaven is Unkind

The news of the great victory in suppressing the rebellion in Annan was sent to the capital by express horses, but the emperor and his ministers were not happy at this time, because just a few days ago, an unprecedented earthquake occurred in the capital, followed by several aftershocks. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory, which copied Zhang Heng's seismograph based on records in ancient books, failed to predict the earthquake.

The capital of the Ming Dynasty, which was gradually becoming peaceful, suddenly suffered a heavy blow.
