Chapter 140
In ancient times, natural disasters and man-made disasters were all summed up as God's punishment for people.

To put it mildly, it can be said that you, the emperor, have made some small mistakes and need to correct them.

Let's get bigger, you, the emperor, have misused the country, and even God can't see it, so you should get out early, and stay where you are cool.

Therefore, Chu Tianshu decided to make a fuss about this matter and let Sheng Wang Li Qi be killed.

Chu Tianshu had already guessed the reason why Tang Xuanzong declared himself into the palace, and it was not for him to offer advice on how to rescue and relieve the disaster, because the ministers of the court could handle this matter, and many of them were very experienced.

Announcing him into the palace must be to let him do a divination to see what God means, and whether he should sin against himself.

We must know that the peasant uprisings in ancient times were able to gather a large number of people with a single slogan, and as long as the people had something to eat, the speed of expansion was absolutely astonishing.

Since ancient times, Chinese people have had the idea that princes, generals, and relatives have different ideas, that is to say, anyone can be an emperor, you can do it, why can't I?

This is why our country has suffered so many traumas in modern times, but it still stands strong and strives hard to catch up with other countries at an astonishing pace.

On the other hand, Ah San, the neighbor next door, does not have this kind of thinking. The people there are deeply poisoned by racial thoughts, so no matter what important things happen, they are easy to settle.

Now, the earthquake in the northwest is a huge event for Tang Xuanzong. Although it will not threaten his throne, it will have a major impact on his reputation.

Maybe someone with ulterior motives will use this incident to say that the emperor is unvirtuous and God blames him, so he will take this opportunity to have breakfast.

Therefore, as long as Chu Tianshu blamed Sheng Wang Li Qi for this incident, Li Qi would definitely be finished by then.

Tang Xuanzong is very upset now. He just learned that his precious son Li Qi had neglected his life in the morning, and in the afternoon there was an earthquake in the northwest.

Therefore, don't mention how bad Tang Xuanzong's mood is.

After arriving in the palace, some court officials had already arrived, but Tang Xuanzong hadn't arrived yet, everyone was like ants on a hot pot.

Tang Xuanzong was in a very bad mood when such a big incident happened, so the ministers would definitely be implicated at that time, and everyone was very disturbed.

As the prime minister of the imperial court, Zhang Jiuling was the boss of the court ministers. When everyone saw him coming, they immediately surrounded him and chattered.

Zhang Jiuling is not in a good mood now. When something like this happened, many people must have been displaced and their families destroyed. The most important thing now is to rescue the disaster as quickly as possible.

"Okay, all the officials, please be quiet, you don't want to ask me, but think about what method we should use to relieve the disaster." Zhang Jiuling said.

Everyone immediately shut up, and Tang Xuanzong also walked in at this time, so everyone was naturally quieter.

Tang Xuanzong's face was a bit ugly, and after glancing at the people present, he said: "Presumably, all the lovers already know what happened in the northwest, so I won't say much, I called everyone here just to discuss, and send the disaster relief as soon as possible." The matter is settled. I have sent [-] miles to expedite it, and asked the local officials to appease the victims..."

Tang Xuanzong spoke a lot eloquently. After he finished speaking, Zhang Jiuling said: "Your Majesty, a minister must be sent to provide disaster relief."

So, the ministers began to discuss with you and me, and Chu Tianshu was like a bystander, because in this matter, Chu Tianshu couldn't say a word at all, because he was not an expert at all.

After discussing for a while, they finally made a decision and decided to send a minister surnamed Lin to help the disaster, and bring 100 million taels of silver, escorted by the imperial army, and form a team of doctors headed by the imperial physician.

Because after a natural disaster, it will definitely be accompanied by diseases such as plague.

After the matter was discussed, Tang Xuanzong immediately asked the ministers for disaster relief to set off immediately. After all, this matter is extremely urgent.

"National teacher, this is whether you can take a divination and see if God punishes me." Tang Xuanzong said with a sigh.

In fact, after learning that Sheng Wang Li Qi carelessly neglected human life and what happened in the Northwest, Tang Xuanzong wondered if it was because he allowed his son to commit such a thing, and God punished him?
However, these were all his own conjectures, so he specially asked Chu Tianshu to come over and do divination for him.

Chu Tianshu knew that the opportunity had finally come, Li Qi, Li Qi, it's okay for you to mess with me, but you absolutely shouldn't, you shouldn't care about human lives, and don't take the lives of ordinary people seriously.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will start now." Chu Tianshu said.

Afterwards, Chu Tianshu pretended to start counting, and after a while, Chu Tianshu said: "Your Majesty, I have calculated it, but I dare not say it."

Tang Xuanzong said: "National Teacher, just say it, I forgive you for your innocence."

Chu Tianshu said: "Your Majesty, this matter is indeed God's punishment for you, Your Majesty."

As the Son of Heaven, what I am most afraid of is this kind of thing. God's punishment for himself is that God is dissatisfied with himself.What is God?That is the emperor's Lao Tzu, who calls himself the Son of Heaven.

"It really is so." Hearing this, Tang Xuanzong lost all strength and sat slumped on the dragon chair.

"Master, why did God punish me? Since I came to the throne, I have been diligent and diligent. I dare not say that I am comparable to Emperor Taizong, but I speak out widely, work diligently and love the people. Why did God punish me?" Tang Xuanzong asked.

As an emperor, the most important thing you care about is your own reputation. If God punishes you, it means that you are not a wise emperor. For an emperor, it is fatal.

Chu Tianshu said: "Your Majesty, God's punishment this time is not because your Majesty did not do well, but because the people around Your Majesty did not do well."

"The people around you?" Tang Xuanzong's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he immediately thought of his son Li Qi. He must have disregarded human life and made God dissatisfied and punished him.

Yes, it must be so.

At this moment, Tang Xuanzong seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.

"National teacher, have you figured out how to appease God?" Tang Xuanzong asked.

Chu Tianshu said: "Your Majesty, according to the proposal of the heavens, the people around your Majesty have done something that angers the heavens and others, so the first crime is to be punished."

After finishing speaking, Chu Tianshu said: "Your Majesty forgive me, I also said it according to the will of heaven, please don't blame me, Your Majesty."

When Tang Xuanzong heard that these four people should be punished for the first crime, he immediately felt bad. After all, he was a son he liked very much.

If he was beheaded like this, he would naturally feel very sad in his heart.

But when he thought about his own reputation, Tang Xuanzong suddenly felt less reluctant.

Anyone who dares to threaten my throne will be killed without mercy!
