At this time.
Li Shimin was also shocked by Yuan Tiangang's move.
Hearing Yuan Tiangang's words, Li Shimin fixed his eyes on it, only to see …
There was actually a thin layer of frost on top of the fragrance!
At this moment.
Li Shimin couldn't help exclaiming and asked, "Master Yuan, how did you do it?"
Li Shimin naturally had never encountered such a miraculous thing. No.
Wasn't this method the same as the one Fengzi made in the phosphate fertilizer factory?
And it was so similar.
However, the only difference was that these were fragrant incense sticks, and they had been lit up. Yet, they were still frozen by the frost and snow …
This seemed to …
At this time, seeing Yuan Tiangang was fiddling with something but ignoring him, Li Shimin was not in a hurry.
Yuan Tiangang seemed to be extremely dignified at this time. At this time, Li Shimin also looked a little nervous.
For a full hour, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were fiddling with something on the ground. First, they inserted a chopstick into a bowl full of water, and then the water could flow up along the chopstick. How could such an exaggerated scene not shock everyone?
After fiddling with it for several times, Yuan Tiangang also used divination, astrology and so on. Then he suddenly said, "Your Majesty, this time, I have indeed divined the two provinces of Sheng Province and Feng Province, as well as the north … The Turkic territory must have been covered by snow at this time. Therefore, I think what President Zhang said is probably true!"
Really?
Li Shimin was a little hesitant. After pondering for a long time, Li Shimin waved his sleeves and said, "Come here!"
Xiao Guizi, who had been waiting outside the imperial study, hurriedly pushed the door of the imperial study open.
"Your Majesty!"
"Is there any news from the Ministry of Rites' mission to Sheng Province and Feng Province?"
"Your Majesty, there is no news for the time being …"
"You … find the person who sent this news to Chang 'an!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
…
After a while.
Xiao Guizi led a person in the Ministry of Rites' official robe to the door of the imperial study while teaching etiquette.
As soon as he entered the door.
Xiao Guizi hastily said, "Your Majesty, the official from the Ministry of Rites who came back to Chang 'an to deliver the message has arrived."
When Li Shimin heard this, he put down the memorial in his hand. With a wave of his hand, he dismissed everyone. Li Shimin walked down from the dragon throne and came to the side of the minor official from the Ministry of Rites who was kneeling on the ground and trembling with his head pressed against the ground.
"Let me ask you, did you come back from Feng Province or Sheng Province? When did you come back? "
When that person heard this, he hurriedly replied, "Replying to Your Majesty, this lowly one returned to the Ministry of Rites in the afternoon today …"
That minor official from the Ministry of Rites even clearly explained how long he had been delayed on the road, who he had met on the road, and what he had eaten.
Li Shimin frowned slightly. He interrupted that person and asked, "Let me ask you, when I left, what was the weather like in Sheng Province and Feng Province?"
The petty official couldn't help but be stunned.
The Emperor actually asked such a question?
This is …
But he didn't dare to think too much. He hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, I left Feng Province early yesterday morning, but this lowly one didn't pay much attention to it. I just felt that it was much colder than usual."
"How cold was it?"
Li Shimin instantly grasped the key of the question and asked.
This answer almost confirmed Li Shimin's thoughts. After all, at this time, there were already the memorials from Longyou Province and Youzhou Province in the last two days on his desk.
In these two days, almost all of them were reporting about the strange weather, as well as hoping that the imperial court would transfer military supplies. Even in some places, because of the arrival of winter, many soldiers were still wearing summer clothes. There were already soldiers who were frozen to death due to the cold.
It was just the beginning of winter.
That was it.
Then …
At this time, when the petty official spoke again, Li Shimin couldn't help but come to his senses.
The petty official said, "Your Majesty, this lowly one only knows that the wind and rain at the end of the year in Feng Province and Sheng Province have lasted for countless days. And I don't know why it suddenly became cold these two days. The cold was like rolling in the snow without wearing clothes. When I came back, some people in the delegation had already caught a cold because of the cold …"
Hearing this, Li Shimin instantly understood.
Before the gathering, Yuan Tiangang had told him the result of divination, but Li Shimin still felt it was incredible.
If it was true, then the matter of Tuli's visit this time could be discussed.
"Master Yuan, what do you think of this matter?"
Li Shimin dismissed the petty official and then turned to ask Yuan Tiangang, who was sitting on one side.
Yuan Tiangang first silently looked at the Bagua Mirror on the desk in front of him, then nodded and said, "According to the observation of the Imperial Astronomer these days and the calculation of venting anger in the past, it has been a few days since the beginning of winter. So at this time, it's reasonable that something happened in the Turkic territory. Otherwise, Tuli wouldn't be so arrogant."
"Although this lowly one doesn't know anything about military deployment, I know that once he really starts a war, he won't be stationed in Sheng Province and Feng Province."
