However, he didn't see Li Shimin's lonely eyes. It seemed that the hope in his heart had been shattered.
"How could this be?"
Li Shimin's hands trembled a little. He glanced at the three people and said, "Even the three of you can't figure out what this is? Then who else in the Tang Dynasty can know? "
"Your Majesty, don't panic."
Yuan Tiangang hurriedly stepped forward and held Li Shimin. "Your Majesty, although we didn't figure out what this is, we feel that it is an ominous sign."
"What do you mean?"
Zhangsun Wuji stepped forward and took Yuan Tiangang's right hand. He was a little surprised. At the emperor's side, he could be said to be the most loyal subordinate because the current empress was his sister, and the emperor was his brother-in-law. Zhangsun Wuji's family had invested in the Tang Dynasty. Now Yuan Tiangang suddenly said that it was an ominous sign. Didn't that mean that the Tang Dynasty would be in danger? How could his current uncle sit still?
Not only him, but Cheng Yaojin, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and others also stepped forward quickly. Their average age was not young, and their steps were a little staggered, but this could not stop their determination to worry about the country and the people.
Especially Cheng Yaojin, his eyes were wide open. He couldn't believe it because he knew that the current emperor had a good emperor who worried about the country and the people. He had deeply understood this since he followed Li Shimin. He had gone through fire and water with the soldiers, ate and slept with them. How could such an emperor have any ominous sign?
There was also Wei Zheng. He also couldn't believe it. Although His Majesty was sometimes lazy, violent, and ruthless, His Majesty was a qualified monarch because he handled political affairs conscientiously every day. How could there be an ominous sign? This was really a little ridiculous.
Li Shimin naturally noticed the nervous expressions on the faces of the officials. He was very gratified that he was able to receive the support of everyone. He did not waste his time as the ruler. But what was this ominous sign?
He thought of the change in the Xuanwu Gate. Could it be that Yuan Tiangang's words were true? Even the heavens were dissatisfied and wanted to punish him with misfortune?
If that was the case, he hoped that God would not punish the people of the Tang Dynasty.
After praying in his heart, he turned his eyes to Yuan Tiangang again, but his heart was in a mess.
"Daoist Yuan, please continue."
Li Shimin's face was a little pale, and only his trembling hands showed his inner fear.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Yuan Tiangang cupped his hands and said slowly under everyone's complicated gaze, "Do you still remember the Pre-Qin Bewilderment Stone?"
"What?"
Wei Zheng's eyes widened, his hands trembling as he shot a glance at the object in the sky. "You mean to say that the object in the sky is Mars?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar among the officials.
"What? It's Mars?
"How could it be?"
The three words "Mars Stone" were like a stone thrown into a calm water surface, instantly causing countless ripples.
Most of the people present were Confucian scholars. They were familiar with history and deeply knew what the three words Mars represented. It was a star of misfortune.
Mars was known as Mars due to its fiery glow and unpredictable whereabouts. It was also known as the Crimson Star, the Punishment Star, and the Law Enforcement Star. Throughout history, whenever Mars appeared, there would be endless disasters and countless casualties.
The earliest record was in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. King Hui of Chu destroyed the Chen Dynasty, which was said to have a great relationship with Mars. Later, when Ying Zheng unified the six states, Mars fell on the East County and was engraved with six words, "The first emperor died and the land was divided", causing countless innocent people in the East County to suffer. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, someone reported to the prime minister of Emperor Cheng of Han that there was a celestial phenomenon of "Mars Guarding the Heart", and the prime minister committed suicide.
All kinds of signs showed that Mars was a star of misfortune and an ominous sign.
Thinking of this, everyone shuddered and unconsciously trembled. They were all officials of the Tang Dynasty and naturally did not want such a disaster to befall the Tang Dynasty.
Especially Li Shimin, who had killed countless people and carried countless sins. Today, Mars fell from the sky? Wasn't this a punishment from the heavens? Could it be that it was punishing the people of the Tang Dynasty?
This …
He had killed countless people. How could he punish his own people?
He was a little scared. Although he did not believe in these things, he could not help but believe what was in front of him.
"Taoist, are you sure this is Mars?"
Li Shimin's hands trembled and glanced at the thing in the sky from time to time. "You can't be wrong about this, can you?"
"Yes, Taoist, you can't be careless about this kind of thing."
"Daoist, Mars isn't just a joke."
"Taoist, why don't you do another divination?"
Everyone asked with a worried look. If Mars really appeared, they would also be victims. Now, they did not dare to be careless.
Yuan Tiangang glanced at the nervous crowd and his hands were a little sweaty. Then, he looked at Li Shimin and said with a serious face, "Your Majesty, I'm just guessing. May I ask, other than Mars, who can fly in the sky? Forgive me for my ignorance. "
As soon as he said this, the people who had a glimmer of hope were completely disappointed.
