Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the game is to touch the Princess Changle

The moon was generous, casting its white moonlight on the earth.

It had been half an hour since the banquet started, and everyone had only eaten half full. The people sitting opposite the grill had eyes full of expectation, watching the imperial chef skillfully turning the ingredients on the grill.

Su Chen slumped in the backrest chair, looking up at the moon hanging high in the sky.

"People today cannot see the moon of the past, but this moon once shone on the ancients!"

"Brother-in-law, good poem, good artistic conception!" Li Chengqian, who was sitting next to Su Chen, heard Su Chen muttering and suddenly cheered loudly.

Li Tai on the other side also praised at the same time: "Good poem!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down, be careful of being exterminated by the three tribes!" Su Chen made a gesture to silence.

"It's so serious, how could I not know?" Li Chengqian and Li Tai looked at each other and asked seriously.

"Don't talk about this, look up at the moon sky." Su Chen changed the subject and pointed at the moon sky and said to Li Chengqian.

Seeing that Su Chen's expression was not joking, the two brothers looked up at the sky at the same time, and Li Ke, Li You and Xue Rengui also looked up, and even Wang Defa who was standing next to them did the same.

There were only six people sitting at Su Chen's table, and they all looked up at the moon sky. Li Shimin, who was not far away, saw this and smiled:

"Everyone, look at that kid, they look up at the moon, they must be comprehending the secrets of heaven!"

Everyone laughed and agreed with Li Shimin, and looked at Su Chen and the others at the same time.

Changsun Wuji suddenly restrained his smile and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, they are not joking. The expressions on the faces of King Shu and Rengui seem very serious."

Li Shimin stopped smiling when he heard this, "Oh?"

......

"At this time, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the bright moon is hanging high. I don't see anything wrong, what about you, my brother!" Li Tai still looked up at the moon and asked.

Li Chengqian looked up at the moon and said, "I can't see anything either, brother-in-law..."

"Hey, there's no cloud in the sky, it probably won't rain in half a month!

My thousand pigs will have to suffer!" Before Li Chengqian finished speaking, pig farmer Li You suddenly sighed.

Everyone stopped looking up at the moon and looked at Li You.

Li Chengqian and the others were enlightened by Li You's words. Su Chen didn't ask them to look at the moon, but to observe the weather.

Soon they thought that if it really didn't rain in the next half month as Li You said, the sweet potato seeds that His Majesty had distributed before would most likely miss the planting season, and the second season must be planted from July to September.

Not all places have good water sources like Su Chen's manor.

"If the second season of sweet potatoes and potatoes cannot be harvested by the end of this year, the people will lose trust in the court.

The most important thing is the nationalization of the land. The noble families and landlords who occupy a large amount of land are not stupid. If there is no high-yield grain, whoever has more land will have a greater advantage. Who will be willing to hand over the extra land?"

Looking at Li You, Su Chen continued: "Without sufficient grain as a foundation, the people are even less likely to raise pigs."

Li Chengqian nodded and thought, "Su Chen, tell me, if the emperor opens the altar to pray for rain, will it work?"

Su Chen rolled his eyes at Li Chengqian, "Don't do those things, if the altar is useful, can you still be the prince?"

At this time, the eunuchs and palace maids placed the freshly baked barbecue on the table, and Su Chen's worried face was swept away.

"Let's not talk about this, there is still time anyway, everyone should eat and drink!" Su Chen waved his hand and said generously.

The few people no longer worried about the country and the people, and continued to eat and drink.

While Su Chen and his companions were looking up at the moon, another person outside Chang'an City was also looking at the moon in the night sky and thinking.

…

"It's already mid-August, and it hasn't rained for five months. This sky phenomenon still continues without rain!"

More than 30 miles south of Chang'an City, there is a mountain in the middle section of the Qinling Mountains.

It was once called Taiyi Mountain, and now it is called Zhongnan Mountain.

There is a Taoist temple halfway up Zhongnan Mountain, and a Taoist who looks like a Taoist master. He stood in front of the Taoist temple with a whisk in his hand, looking quite like an immortal.

The Taoist priest, wearing a Yin-Yang fish Taoist robe, looked up at the moon for a long time, then retracted his gaze and sighed: "No rain! No solution!"

After speaking, the Taoist priest slowly raised his left hand and pinched his fingers to tell the hexagram.

After a moment, the Taoist priest's calm demeanor disappeared, and his face showed shock and horror, and he unconsciously took two steps back.

"Heaven's will has changed... The country will have a long life!"

The Taoist priest muttered to himself, repeating this sentence over and over again. He was almost crazy, and then ran into the Taoist temple.

After running into the Taoist temple, he came to the portrait of the Three Pure Ones, bowed three times in Taoist etiquette, put down his whisk, and took out an exquisite wooden box.

When he opened the wooden box, there were three crescent-shaped jade stones. He held the three crescent-shaped jade stones in his hands and seemed to be muttering something. After muttering, he threw his hands up.

The crescent-shaped jade stone is the most commonly used sacred object for Taoist divination, called: the divination cup.

The Taoist priest stared at it with his eyes fixed,The three crescent jade stones that had fallen to the ground suddenly widened their eyes, shook their heads and said in shock:

"I don't believe it! It's impossible!"

The Taoist priest picked up the three crescent jade stones and threw them up again.

At this moment, something strange happened.

"Bang~Bang!"

Before the crescent jade stones fell to the ground, two of them suddenly exploded.

This jade itself is not a valuable thing, but in Taoism it is regarded as a supreme treasure. There are two types of people that cannot be predicted by divination: immortals and dead people.

The Taoist priest was stunned and said in shock:

"There are no immortals in the world. Could this person be a dead person?"

...

The night before, he observed the sky and predicted that the Tang Dynasty would continue to be dry and rainless, so the Taoist priest suddenly decided to deduce the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty again.

Unexpectedly, the hexagram showed that someone forcibly interfered with the secrets of heaven, causing the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty to change.

The Tang Dynasty was originally less than 300 years old, but the Taoist priest just calculated that the Tang Dynasty would last forever, which was beyond his calculation.

Therefore, he wanted to know who was the god who could interfere with the secrets of heaven and continue the Tang Dynasty.

This Taoist priest was not an unknown person, but the Tang Dynasty's national teacher personally appointed by Li Shimin: Yuan Tiangang.

Yuan Tiangang himself was famous for divination and bone measurement, and his family also had famous sorcerers in the previous dynasty.

At the beginning of the first year of Zhenguan, not long after the new emperor ascended the throne, he asked Yuan Tiangang and his junior brother Li Chunfeng to deduce the Tang Dynasty's national destiny.

Yuan Tiangang and his junior brother comprehended the secrets of heaven and calculated that the Tang Dynasty's national destiny was less than 300 years. It was also calculated that Emperor Li Shimin would live to be 52 years old, and that the Tang Dynasty would be replaced by a female warrior in the third generation.

The two did not mention the results of their calculations to anyone, and Emperor Li Shimin did not know about it.

They knew that if they told the emperor clearly, Li Shimin would definitely ask for a solution, but they could only deduce the secrets of heaven, but could not make any changes.

Is heaven's will something that can be violated by human power?

When Yuan Tiangang deduced that Wu Nu would replace Tang, he had thought about whether he could avoid the Li Tang Dynasty falling into her hands if he got rid of the woman surnamed Wu in advance?

However, this was heaven's will. If Wu Nu was eliminated, the Li Tang Dynasty would be destroyed in three generations.

They could only follow heaven's will. After Emperor Wu, the Li Tang Dynasty would have nearly three hundred years of national life.

Yuan Tiangang looked at the broken crescent-shaped jade on the ground, smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "It seems that I am entangled in worldly affairs, and my Taoism is gradually shallow. I can't deduce this person."

"Forget it, since I am entangled in worldly affairs, I will go down the mountain to discuss Taoism with my junior brother soon."

Then, he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in meditation.
