Li Shimin held the copy of the diary tightly in his hand.
After trying, he found that as long as he held the copy of the diary in his hand, he could hear Li You's thoughts. Otherwise, he could only read the copy of the diary.
Fortunately, Li Shimin wore a long robe with wide sleeves that could cover the copy of the diary without anyone noticing.
Li Shimin is not only not angry now that Li You's complaints are ringing in his head, but is actually very happy.
Having grasped Li You's inner thoughts made Li Shimin feel like he was completely convinced of Li You.
So the more vigorously Li You complained, the happier Li Shimin became.
Li Shimin returned to Ganlu Hall and immediately sent Li Junxian, deputy director of the Baiqi Division, and Li Chunfeng, Taishi Ling of the Taishi Bureau.
"Li Junxian, immediately send someone to check for me whether Luo Yi's food and grass have been cut off by the Turks. You must be quick! Report any news to me immediately!"
Li Shimin sat in front of the table with a majestic aura, and his imperial aura was clearly visible.
"I accept your order!"
Li Junxian was a little surprised. He didn't know why His Majesty suddenly noticed that there was a problem with Luo Yi's food and grass.
But since it was the emperor's arrangement, he, as the emperor's confidant, could just follow it.
As soon as Li Junxian left, Taishi Ling Li Chunfeng walked in.
"The humble minister Li Chunfeng comes to see Your Majesty."
"Get up." Li Shimin looked at Li Chunfeng who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "I ask you, have there been any rain or floods near Chang'an in the past few months or even half a year?"
Hearing Li Shimin's question, Li Chunfeng suddenly raised his head, with a look of surprise on his face, and for a moment he forgot to answer.
"Li Chunfeng? What am I asking you? Why don't you answer? Is it yes or no?"
Seeing Li Chunfeng like this, Li Shimin suddenly had a feeling that maybe what Li You said about the Chang'an flood might be true.
At this moment, Li Shimin was still a little happy in his heart. These people in the Taishi Bureau are all capable people. Not only are they intelligent and knowledgeable, they are also well-read and proficient in astronomy, calendar, mathematics, etc. They are the kind who know astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom. He would also show off in front of him, Li Shimin, and this Li Chunfeng was one of them. It was rare to see Li Chunfeng being surprised.
"Your Majesty, I am about to write a memorial to report this matter." Li Chunfeng quickly put away his surprise and replied quickly: "According to Wei Chen and his colleagues from the Taishi Bureau observing the stars day and night, it is expected that there will be heavy rainfall in June today."
"Whether it will cause rain or floods, Wei Chen is not sure yet!"
kindness?
Is there really heavy rainfall??
Li Shimin felt nervous, thinking that what Li You said was probably true.
It's just that Li Chunfeng, as the first person in astronomy in the Tang Dynasty, could not be sure of things, but Li You was able to say it with certainty. Could it be that Li You's astronomical ability far exceeded Li Chunfeng?
Well, this is another big discovery.
"In this case, I order your Taishi Bureau to monitor the celestial phenomena with all your strength. If there is any trouble, come and report to me immediately." After speaking, Li Shimin paused and then said: "I am worried that the flood will be serious today and the people near Chang'an will suffer. !”
Hear this.
Li Chunfeng was shocked all over.
Sure enough! His Majesty the Emperor had already known about the flood in advance.
But... this observation of astronomy is the responsibility of the Taishi Bureau and is also a professional ability. How did His Majesty the Emperor know?
Could it be that His Majesty has an ability to observe astronomy that is not weaker than his own? How is this possible!
At this moment, Li Chunfeng was no longer allowed to think too much, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "I accept the decree, Your Majesty is wise!"
"Okay, let's go down and do some work!"
"yes!"
Li Chunfeng also wanted to ask how Li Shimin knew about the flood in Chang'an, but the emperor had given the order, so he had to retreat.
While stepping back, I was thinking about something.
Seeing Li Chunfeng's frightened and confused state retreat, Li Shimin's face showed a smile again.
Let you, a group of alchemists, show off your skills in front of me from time to time. This time you will probably be slapped in the face by me.
Hum, I just want you to know that I am the one who knows everything about astronomy and geography!
Li Chunfeng returned to the Taishi Bureau with doubts all the way, and happened to bump into another big boss of the Taishi Bureau, Yuan Tiangang, the chief alchemist of the Tang Dynasty!
"Chunfeng, what makes you so confused that you can't even see the road?"
Yuan Tiangang, wearing a white-haired Taoist robe and holding a fly whisk, looked like an immortal and asked with a smile.
"I've met Master Yuan." Li Chunfeng hurriedly saluted Yuan Tiangang. Although he was the Taishi Ling and the boss of the Taishi Bureau, Yuan Tiangang was the master of the Taishi Bureau, and he had to ask him for advice on many things.
"Looking at your appearance, it must be that our Emperor has done something that puzzles you." Yuan Tiangang said with a smile.
"I really can't hide anything from Master Yuan. His Majesty the Emperor just asked me to come over and asked me if there would be rain or floods this year." Li Chunfeng.
"His Majesty the Emperor cares about people's livelihood, isn't it normal for him to ask you about these things?" Yuan Tiangang.
"If that's the case, it's nothing. But His Majesty directly asked about the rain situation in Chang'an. His tone was very sure, as if he knew it. He was just asking me for confirmation." Li Chunfeng said: "I doubt there are people who are better at observing than me.
An expert in astronomy and weather forecasting is giving guidance to Your Majesty!"
"Oh?" Yuan Tiangang, who was originally indifferent, his eyes lit up after hearing this, and he was obviously interested, "No wonder I was watching the sky at night recently, the purple stars were vibrating, the purple light was bright, and the pole stars were shining. This is the Tang Dynasty
The image of Daxing!"
"Perhaps Your Majesty has a capable person next to you."
"???" Li Chunfeng was stunned for a moment, "No, if such a capable person appears in this world, there will be movement in the corresponding stars, but there haven't been any big changes recently!"
"Hahaha, this is what I find interesting. Maybe we made a mistake in the past." Yuan Tiangang laughed three times, "Just watch, there will be some changes in the court soon, and then we will know that this person is
Who is it? Of course, if I could see him, I might be able to tell."
...
The second day.
King Li You of Chu was renamed King of Yan, the governor of You, Yi and other six states' military forces, and the governor of Youzhou. However, he did not need to go to the fiefdom. The matter of participating in political affairs in the previous dynasty spread among the relatives, officials and nobles of the Tang Dynasty.
.
This matter is neither big nor small.
Li Shimin had just ascended to the throne through the Xuanwu Gate Incident, so it was very important to consolidate the throne.
There are many ways to consolidate the throne, and cultivating heirs is one of them.
As for the ministers of the court and the people of the world, they will feel much more at ease when they see that the emperor has a successor.
This is why, not long after Li Shimin became emperor, he named Li Chengqian the crown prince.
However, throughout the dynasties, becoming a prince did not necessarily lead to becoming an emperor. The hidden prince Li Jiancheng is a living example, so many people will focus on other princes, such as Han Wang Li Ke and Wei Wang Li Tai, who have been allowed to participate in political affairs in the previous dynasty.
...
Being able to obtain the qualifications to participate in political affairs in the upper court means that there is a slight chance. Of course, it is just a chance...
