Moreover, he and Erlang were friends. In those days, he followed Erlang to quell the rebellion and planned the change of the Xuanwu Gate. Strictly speaking, half of the ghosts of the Xuanwu Gate belonged to him.
Now he was forcing Erlang. It was a bit too much.
Moreover, it was reasonable to say that he also had a part of the responsibility for the appearance of Mars.
He couldn't sit back and do nothing, but who could resolve this disaster?
Thinking of this, a figure slowly emerged in his mind.
Yuan Tiangang?
Wasn't he a famous warlock of the Tang Dynasty? Maybe this person could resolve the crisis.
"Erlang, I have a plan. Ask Master Yuan Tiangang to resolve this crisis."
Zhangsun Wuji said with some surprise. He had now regarded Li Shimin as a family member, so it was natural to call him Erlang. Besides, there were no outsiders now, so it didn't get in the way.
"Assistant, are you serious?"
Li Shimin stood up from the dragon chair and looked straight at Zhangsun Wuji. He had thought that his only hope was shattered, but now it seemed that it was not.
"Erlang, Master Yuan is a famous warlock of the Tang Dynasty. As long as he does divination, there may be a way."
Zhangsun Wuji's face was full of hope, and his eyes were shining.
"Good, good."
Li Shimin nodded repeatedly, then looked at Little Guizi and hurriedly said, "Little Guizi, you go to inform Yuan Tiangang and let him enter the palace."
Little Guizi nodded and walked out of the door. In a moment, he disappeared from the sight of the two.
Looking at the receding figure, Li Shimin could no longer sit still. He slowly walked down from the hall, took a drag of the cigarette, and kept pacing in the hall. He was upset. He was a little worried. What if Yuan Tiangang couldn't do anything? What if Yuan Tiangang was not there?
Now only Yuan Tiangang could save him.
Seeing Li Shimin so anxious, Zhangsun Wuji stepped forward and comforted him, "Erlang, don't worry. When Master Yuan comes, everything will be clear."
Hearing this, Li Shimin slowed down his steps and looked at Zhangsun Wuji. He sighed and said with some sadness, "Maybe."
After that, he took a deep puff of his cigarette and continued to walk around the hall.
Zhangsun Wuji didn't say anything else either. He clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the door from afar.
Only the sound of footsteps could be heard in the huge imperial study. The atmosphere was a little tense.
About half an hour later, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door.
Hearing this voice, Li Shimin immediately stopped. His eyes kept looking out the door, hoping to see something. It wasn't that he didn't want to go out, but he didn't dare. With so many officials kneeling outside, if he went out, wouldn't he be torn apart alive?
A moment later, two figures stepped into the imperial study. They were Little Guizi and Yuan Tiangang.
"Commoner Yuan Tiangang pays his respects to Your Majesty."
Yuan Tiangang made a Taoist seal with his hands and bowed.
"Dispense with the formality, dispense with the formality."
Li Shimin looked at Yuan Tiangang with surprise. He stepped forward and said directly, "Master Yuan, I invited you here this time for the thing in the sky. I hope Master Yuan can divine it."
He couldn't afford any delay now. He must solve it as soon as possible.
Yuan Tiangang frowned and didn't answer immediately. Instead, he turned his head and glanced at the unknown object in the sky. After a while, he said mysteriously, "Yes, Your Majesty. Please prepare the incense table, candlesticks and other sacrificial items."
"These are all trivial matters. Daoist priest, please do it quickly."
Li Shimin promised and then looked at Little Guizi who was on standby, "Little Guizi, send someone to prepare the incense table and candlesticks immediately. Be quick."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Little Guizi bowed and turned to leave.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Little Guizi led several eunuchs to come with incense, candles, yellow paper and other sacrificial items in his hands. Sacrificial activities were often held in the palace, so these things were necessary and not difficult to find. The incense table was neatly arranged under the command of Little Guizi. The candlesticks and yellow paper were also neatly placed at the door of the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, the ritual needs to be done outside the door. Please move."
Yuan Tiangang bowed, still in a posture of making a Taoist seal.
"Move?"
Li Shimin hesitated. There were so many officials outside the door. It was not easy to face them outside. But according to Yuan Tiangang's words, he couldn't do the ritual if he didn't go out. This …
After thinking for a while, he made up his mind and nodded, "Let's go."
Now there was no other way. It was no big deal to come out and explain to the officials.
With such an idea, Li Shimin slowly walked out of the door. As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw the officials kneeling together with an unyielding look, which made him a little sad. After all, these were the backbone of the Tang Dynasty. He quickly stepped forward and said with concern, "Officials, please get up."
Hearing this, the officials raised their heads and looked at Li Shimin seriously. It seemed that they didn't intend to speak. Finally, Wei Zheng, who was the leader, slowly said, "Your Majesty, have you decided?"
In fact, they had seen Yuan Tiangang just now. They probably knew what the other party was here for. It was nothing more than preparing for divination and other things. However, divination could not solve this matter. Therefore, everyone still hoped that Li Shimin would issue an edict to appease Heaven's anger.
