As soon as he left Zhang Feng's mansion, Li Shimin's face suddenly changed. Little Guizi and the others, who were hiding in the alley, were shocked after seeing the emperor's face. They hurriedly ordered the servants to bring out the sedan chair and let Li Shimin sit in it.
Seeing the emperor and the ministers' faces still heavy, Little Guizi and the others were even more panicked.
At this time, Li Shimin said faintly, "Guizi, quickly go and invite Mr. Yuan!"
Mr. Yuan?!
Little Guizi's heart thumped, and his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
This Mr. Yuan was not someone else. He was the most mysterious person in the palace and the most difficult person to serve, the head of the Imperial Astronomer, Yuan Tiangang!
Although he had been in the Imperial Astronomer or in the depths of the palace with the Retired Emperor, this person was extremely mysterious and almost elusive. Few people could see him.
The emperor summoned him at this time …
Could something have happened?
Little Guizi couldn't help but quickly estimate in his heart as he walked.
After all, after the emperor met Zhang Feng, he rarely saw Yuan Tiangang being summoned by the emperor. However, at this time, the emperor just went to the phosphate fertilizer factory and then went to President Zhang's courtyard. What happened in such a short time?
Did he still need to send Mr. Yuan?
But all this was just an idea in Little Guizi's mind. He just thought about it and didn't dare to have any ideas.
When Jiaozi safely walked to the vicinity of Zhuque Gate and quietly entered the imperial city with all the spies arranged, Little Guizi hurriedly sent someone to inform Yuan Tiangang.
…
Not long after, when Li Shimin arrived in the imperial study, he already saw an old Taoist priest with gray and white hair in a white robe sitting cross-legged on a futon. Beside him, there was a young boy, only 13 or 14 years old, quietly reciting something in a low voice.
At this time, without waiting for Li Shimin to push the door open, the old Taoist priest hurriedly made a Taoist name and said slightly to the door of the imperial study, "I, Yuan Tiangang, greet Your Majesty!"
At this time, Li Shimin slowly sat on the dragon throne and waved his hand, "Rise!"
"This time, I called you here mainly to ask you to divine the situation in Feng Province."
Yuan Tiangang's half-squinted eyes flickered slightly. He shook the horsetail whisk in his hand, stroked his beard, and pondered for a while. Then he slowly said, "Could it be that Your Majesty's prediction is correct? What kind of disaster will the Tujue cause to the Tang Dynasty this time?"
Li Shimin shook his head slowly.
At this time, Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but frown slightly. His fingers hidden in his sleeves moved slightly, "Reporting to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty. This time, the matter in Feng Province will be more daunting than dangerous!"
Li Shimin was slightly taken aback.
He was right!
Although he had guessed correctly today, there was no joy on his face. Instead, he became even more anxious.
Li Shimin asked anxiously, "Dear minister, do you know if the outcome of this matter was man-made or a natural disaster?"
"This …"
Yuan Tiangang also moved slightly at this time. After pondering for a long time, he slowly said, "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. Please allow me to perform divination to know the result."
Li Shimin hurriedly asked, "How many days do you need?"
Hearing this, Yuan Tiangang hurriedly bowed, "Reporting to Your Majesty, at least three days, at most seven days. I will definitely give Your Majesty a satisfactory answer.
Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little disappointed after hearing this.
Three days.
Seven days.
With this time, the result could be seen without divination.
But he also knew that such a thing was indeed a little too difficult for Yuan Tiangang. After all, this person was unique in the Tang Dynasty in divination of the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams.
Even he needed three or seven days to get the result. What did this mean?
This meant that it was a move against the natural order.
However, at this time, Li Shimin remembered the change in expression of Zhang Feng when he talked about this at the beginning. And at the time in the small tavern, this guy actually said that he had lived for five thousand years …
Although it was a little ridiculous at the time, it was really incredible when he thought about it at this time.
Li Shimin couldn't help but start to let his imagination run wild.
Seeing this, Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but frown slightly, "Your Majesty, you are …"
Li Shimin waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, and then continued to ask, "Mr. Yuan, today I heard from Zhang Feng that in a few days, there will be a snowstorm in Feng Province and other places, and the Tuli Tribe will return empty-handed because of this snowstorm. I am a little uncertain now. Can you predict in the shortest time possible if there will be a snowstorm in Feng Province as Zhang Feng said?"
At this time, even Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but be a little surprised.
He knew a lot about Zhang Feng, especially when he predicted that the locust plague in Longyou Dao would become a reality, as well as the Turkic Khaganate's Great Snow Disaster. He had wanted to befriend Zhang Feng.
However, the identity of the emperor and others was there. If he acted without authorization and disturbed the emperor's plan, it would be bad.
Therefore, Yuan Tiangang didn't care about this matter.
He once secretly spied on the mysteries of heaven to predict Zhang Feng's future. However, this man's fate was extremely strange. He used all the methods in succession and spent half a month, but he still couldn't predict Zhang Feng's future. How could he not be surprised?
However, because of some things, Yuan Tiangang almost didn't pay attention to Zhang Feng after that. However, when he heard what the emperor said at this time, Yuan Tiangang instantly had the idea of visiting Zhang Feng at this time.
He even wanted to have a long talk with Zhang Feng about the mystery of Taoism.
However, at this time, Li Shimin saw Yuan Tiangang frowning and seemed to feel that Yuan Tiangang seemed to be in trouble. He sighed and said, "You don't have to worry so much. If this matter is too difficult … forget it."
Yuan Tiangang was not the kind of person who would give up. After all, his fame and his pride did not allow him to do so. Besides, this was the emperor's order. How could he not obey?
Hearing what Li Shimin said, Yuan Tiangang's desire was aroused. He said, "Your Majesty, I have thought of a way to predict in a short time. I can give it a try."
While speaking, Yuan Tiangang ordered Li Chunfeng, the disciple he had just accepted, to prepare all the things needed for the practice. Li Shimin also waved his hand and asked Yuan Tiangang to find a place to perform the practice in the imperial study and anywhere in the entire Taiji Palace.
He also followed Yuan Tiangang closely, wanting to see what he could calculate. In fact, the method of calculating these things was very simple. Yuan Tiangang just prepared three bowls of water and three incense sticks. However, the three incense sticks were hung upside down with three red lines right above the three bowls of water at this time.
At this time.
After searching for a while, Yuan Tiangang still put the three bowls of water in the north, west, and south of the imperial study. Only the east position was empty. Although Li Shimin was a little surprised, he couldn't ask anything.
At this time, Li Chunfeng slowly lit the three incense sticks and poured the incense sticks on the water. Then, he sat cross-legged in the middle of the three incense sticks with Yuan Tiangang. He silently murmured something in obscure language.
The placement of these three water bowls was very strange. It was a bit like the triangular ruler made by Zhang Feng before.
This was awkward. Li Shimin thought of it by accident, but it was also the only thing he could understand.
As for some other things, Li Shimin was really confused. At this time, seeing that Yuan Tiangang still seemed to need some time, Li Shimin had to be patient. He sat on the dragon throne and continued to review the memorials.
But at this time, Yuan Tiangang shouted, and then the strange dark words that were slowly murmured in his mouth suddenly became loud and fierce.
This made Li Shimin couldn't help but put down the memorials in his hand and stare at Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng closely.
After Yuan Tiangang fiddled for a while.
No one moved the three bowls of water, and no wind blew in. At this time, the three incense sticks were trembling rapidly. It seemed that someone or something was dragging the three incense sticks and floating to the sky!
This made Li Shimin feel shocked. He slowly stood up.
When the three incense sticks floated, Yuan Tiangang chanted more fiercely and generously. After a while, the horsetail whisk in Yuan Tiangang's hand was slowly swung in the direction of the three bowls of water. After that, he chanted an urgent command in his mouth.
The incense sticks on the three bowls of water, after trembling crazily for a while, slowly fell down and became still.
It seemed to be.
At this time, Yuan Tiangang walked to the three inverted incense sticks. After bowing, he began to check.
The first one he came to was the bowl of water in the north.
At this time, when Yuan Tiangang saw the water bowl, his face suddenly changed. Li Shimin saw this and hurriedly followed.
At this time, a thin layer of ice had already appeared in the bowl, and on the incense stick of the water in this bowl …
It had already condensed into snow-white frost flowers!
And it was the incense stick that was burning!
Seeing this, Yuan Tiangang hurriedly exclaimed, "Your Majesty, there is a disaster in the north recently!"
