Chapter 1338 Don't ask the common people, ask the ghosts and gods

Weiyang Palace

Three steps, one whistle, five steps, one post, everything is as usual.

In the aisle of the corridors in the palace, there are palace ladies standing one after another, and occasionally there are female officials and eunuchs coming and going. They are all flat soft shoes, and their steps are light.
The lights inside are transparent, covered by bright yellow curtains, the eunuchs are all holding dust whisks in their hands and not looking sideways, and the sound of deliberations can be heard far away.

The old emperor was lying halfway on the bright yellow soft couch, with a few servants standing beside him, who were holding memorials and reciting, their voices fluctuating.

"Stop, stop."

After reading one place, the old emperor opened his eyes, stretched out his hand and pressed it in vain, and the sound of reading the chapter stopped immediately.

"Summer grain is about to be harvested, but it's raining continuously in Sanfu, and it's raining continuously outside the capital... and three houses have been flooded?"

After hesitating for a while, the old emperor felt inexplicably uneasy, but he couldn't figure it out after thinking about it.

Are you still worried about King Qi?

"Hey, even though he is hard-hearted, he still loves his sons and daughters!" The old emperor smiled smugly and asked, "I remember that it was not this time in the past, but this year's rainy season...is it brought forward?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I don't know." The servant replied respectfully.

"You can understand if you don't know... Hey, I forgot for a while, who is always in charge of the changes in the rainy season?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, it is in the hands of Taishi." Zhao Bingzhong took half a step forward and bowed back.

"Oh, it's Taishi, I remembered."

"The ancestral system, set up the Taishi Platform, handle history books, astronomy and calendar, and observe the changes in the luck of the four directions."

"There are 42 people waiting for edicts at the Lingtai, 14 people are waiting for the stars, two are waiting for the sun, three are waiting for the wind, 12 are waiting for the weather, three are waiting for the sundial, seven are waiting for the clock rhythm, and one is giving up people."

"Since the Taizu, there have been little changes, except for the addition of Taoist masters, real people, and sometimes assisting the Lingtai."

"Your Majesty, if you want to ask about the abnormal rainy season, you should ask Lingtai Cheng, Zhili, Houfeng, Houqi." After a pause, Zhao Bingzhong's tone did not fluctuate, and he continued: "Your Majesty, it is indeed raining heavily for days near the capital. victims."

The old emperor nodded, turned around and continued to lie down, thinking for a long time before speaking.

"Jing Zhaoyin, Zuo Fengyi, and You Fufeng must be in charge of disaster relief. Since there is a flood this year, the tax of the three assistants will be reduced or exempted as appropriate."

"In addition, pass on Taishitai, and call me some Lingtai Chancellors to wait for the imperial edict."

"Yes."

The eunuch who sent the order came out. Although the sky was dark at this time, it was actually the hour of the morning, and the officials had already gone to the yamen.

Soon, several pale middle-aged men, wearing black official uniforms, came from outside.

Lingtai Cheng waits for the imperial edict, as the name suggests, it is to look after the energy in the office and observe the changes in the energy of the world.

It has been established in all dynasties, but with different names.

Observe the rise and fall of virtue from time to time, and even find out the kingly spirit among the people to kill it.

It has been like this since ancient times, and now, is it finally my turn?

No, I have not lost my virtue... Even if I have a few flaws, it is just a personal virtue, in this world, it is still prosperous and prosperous.

This fortune is still with me.

I'm not the king of Qin, and the people are also disrespectful... just a few rebellious sons who refuse to let me go my way.

Thinking about this, the old emperor suppressed the boredom and anxiety in his heart.

In the past, he rarely summoned the Prime Minister of Lingtai to wait for the imperial edict, but today he wanted to visit after a long absence.

"I'm really uneasy today, just like Fu'er...at that time." Heart fluctuated, the old emperor's voice turned cold, and he turned to look at the prostrating Lingtai Cheng, his voice was deep and deep.

"Recently, the rainy season in Beijing is abnormal, have you heard?"

"The ministers did not cure the rain, but I heard that there is rain gathering, so Lord Ling Cheng has already presented it."

"Ah."

The old emperor felt a little conflicted, and he said after a long while: "Today, I want to hear what you said about the changes in the sky."

As soon as these words came out, the several Lingtai Chancellors who were waiting for the edict all dared not speak out, and no one came forward for a long time, they just bowed their heads deeply.

"Your Majesty, I am waiting for the edict of the Lingtai Prime Minister. If there is no grace, it is not allowed to watch the changes at will according to the regulations. If you wait and see without authorization, you will be punished by heaven... I really dare not, please allow me."

"I agree, give him the third string of copper talismans and the fourth one."

Behind the curtain stood an official, holding densely packed keys in his hand, all of which were strung together with ropes.

At this time, he untied a handful and was held over by the waiter.

The Lingtai Cheng waited for the imperial edict to receive it, bowed respectfully three times, and immediately held the bronze talisman in his hand and looked up.

"Your Majesty, I saw a big dragon with a yellow-red color and purple eyes. Other than that, there is nothing unusual about it."

"It's just that there seems to be a hidden line of white light in the distance, which seems to be a foreign enemy."

"A remote place, a foreign vassal? Hmph, it's not surprising." The old emperor snorted coldly and continued to ask.

"Where am I going to be lucky?"

"Your Majesty, there is a double dividend in the yellow. This dynasty was prosperous with fire virtues, but now it is transforming into earth virtues. This is the sign of great prosperity."

"Hmm...then do you know how to read?"

"I am ashamed, I don't know."

The Lingtai Chancellor waited for the edict to return the copper talisman, and then bowed a few more times.

"Your Majesty, I know a thing or two." A Lingtai Cheng waited for the edict to speak out.

"Try to talk."

"There is a saying in the photo book: The shape is light and the air is light, the posture of an immortal. The shape is light and the air is light, the posture of a nobleman. Spectrum."

"It's interesting, how about it?"

"Thousands of people have thousands of faces, there are bones, there are skins, each family has different methods, and most of them entrust famous ancient sages, but in fact, most of them are not in the stream. They can see talents and raise people, but they can't see noble people."

"As for the study of the minister, he learned from the physiognomy master enshrined by the Wang family 300 years ago, known as the Wang Family Physiognomy, who is good at observing the appearance of noble people."

"Then look at my face."

"Yes."

The Lingtai Prime Minister waited for the edict, looked and looked, then his complexion changed drastically, and he kowtowed again and again: "I'm guilty of death."

"I pardon you innocent!" The old emperor frowned.

"Yes, yes... The minister looked at His Majesty's face. It was originally purple lingering, full of happiness and longevity, but there was a faint black line. When the master... the main soldier's aura collided."

"Clash of soldiers..." The old emperor realized in his heart.

King Qi, you did a good deed!
No wonder I have been uneasy, it turned out to be the case.

Zhao Bingzhong lowered his eyes and sighed in his heart: "The emperor is old!"

The so-called Lingtai Prime Minister, who can observe luck, once admired it for a while and was cited as a national teacher, but everyone knew it later.

You can't watch noble people, and you can't predict the future.

Once the future is predicted, it is more likely to be misled under the secrets, and it often goes to the opposite.

So, gradually no one cares about it.

The emperor never believed in these imperial edicts, but now he asks, which shows that his heart has changed.

He even sighed secretly, if he didn't ask, the emperor might be able to find out the inside story, but if he asked, he would have missed the passenger car.

My heart is even more awe-inspiring.

"You all did a good job. It's late at night, so it's hard for you to wait. Each of you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. Go."

After dismissing Lingtai Cheng and waiting for the edict, the old emperor felt more at ease, but he was still not complete.

There was a sudden movement in his heart.

"I don't know how the queen is doing now?"

Thinking about it carefully, the husband and wife have been alienated too much for so many years.

It's not to blame for her estrangement, after all, it's because of what he has done, the emperor himself knows it well.

But suddenly, a desire emerged in my heart, especially wanting to meet.
