"When the villain is in power, the top and bottom are in conflict, and the gate of Jue Yao City collapses."
The emperor and his entourage walked heavily into the bright hall in the middle of the Imperial Academy. Even after closing the door, they could still hear the noise outside, as if they were all discussing the same thing.
"Tell me the whole story." Wang Ling asked.
Kneeling in the atrium was an official from Taixue. He didn't know the identity of the young man sitting on the main seat, so he answered tremblingly: "There are several houses outside the gate of Xuanping City, but they collapsed on their own.
"
"Did anyone get hit?" The emperor frowned, but this was the first question he asked.
The official leaned over and said, "I just heard that the resident was buried inside the house."
"Yan Yun." The emperor recalled in his mind the gorgeous and wealthy manor he met outside Xuanping Gate when he entered the city. If it were just an ordinary shabby house, these people would not be so panicked. Instead, they would suddenly build a solid house.
It would be shocking if it collapsed.
He ordered: "You immediately take the Beibu Lieutenant, summon doctors, and related personnel to go for treatment. Be sure to control the situation and stabilize the people's hearts."
Wang Ling stood up and made his promise, then hurriedly took the official out.
The houses crushed the people, and as long as they were rescued in time, nothing would happen. However, the emperor's expression did not relax much. After all, the casualties were secondary, and the huge impact caused by this was what gave him a headache.
In modern times, this kind of thing is just a safety accident. In the Han Dynasty, when the theory of Yin Yang and Five Elements was prevalent, it was called "house breaking down". It was a very unlucky political event, equivalent to roosters laying eggs, male and female sex changes, and the resurrection of the dead.
elephant.
These visions and auspiciousness are two extremes. The latter symbolizes the arrival of a prosperous king, while the former symbolizes the imminent collapse of the world.
Cui Lie first said: "I remember that in October of the first year of Yongkang, a house collapsed on its own inside the Pingcheng Gate of Luoyang Nangong. Two months later, Emperor Xiaohuan died at a banquet... Now Xuanping City
The room outside the door is also self-destructive... Your Majesty, don't be careless."
"What nonsense are you talking about, Mr. Cui?" Pan Xu raised his eyebrows and retorted, not showing any respect for the other party because he was a famous celebrity: "Your Majesty is young, and it is time for you to do something promising. You recommend Emperor Xiaohuan to
What’s the point of the example!”
Only then did Cui Lie realize that he had said the wrong thing. Sometimes he spoke inappropriately and without restraint. Because of this, he actually said something stupid like "abandoning Liang" in the court, which caused Liang to
All the officials from the state hated him, and the upright Fu Xie was so angry that he wanted to kill him on the spot.
The lessons learned from the past are still fresh in his mind. Cui Lie did not realize the lesson deeply. Instead, he became more and more confused, and even made trouble again. This time, he offended the emperor with one sentence, and Cui Lie finally found an opportunity to regain the appreciation of the superior.
, climbed to a high position again, and now he has to rack his brains to find a way to remedy the situation: "I failed to provide evidence, please forgive me! Your Majesty's original intention is that any 'house breaking down' is a sign, indicating that the country will have great events.
Therefore, do not be careless. Depending on where the house is damaged, the response will be different, and it should be inspected by the official at the mourning platform."
"Humph." The emperor looked a little unkind, but this was not the time to accuse someone of sin. He bypassed Cui Lie and said to Pan Xu: "I remember that Dr. Zhao Yan, a doctor of drama, knew that the five elements connect yin and yang. Now that he is in Taixue, he will
Let him come over first for details."
Not long after, Zhao Yan walked in with a hurried look. He calmed down a little, and then started to give an example that seemed similar to Cui Lie: "In the first year of Emperor Guanghe of Emperor Xiaoling, the inner room of Nangong Pingcheng Gate
, the arsenal house and the outer Dongyuan house all collapsed suddenly."
Pan Xu was very sensitive to this now. As soon as he heard the words 'Pingcheng Gate', he subconsciously asked: "What happened that time?"
Zhao Yan replied: "Pingcheng Gate is the gate of Zhengyang. It is connected to the imperial palace and is the only way for Luan drivers to travel. Therefore, it is the most noble one in the gate. The Armory Gate is the place where weapons are stored and the barrier of the country. Later, the Yellow Turban Bandit Guo originated from
In the east, the Ku troops are in full swing, and war is breaking out in the world."
At this time, Yang Yi suddenly said: "I heard that every house that is damaged by itself is the fault of a villain who shows up and disrupts the law. During the reign of Emperor Xiaoling, the powerful eunuchs and the Holy Ming were blocked, causing disturbances to the people. Now outside Xuanping Gate.
If the house breaks down, it must be because there is a villain in charge of the court. As for the monarch and his ministers, they are at odds, so they go to heaven to warn them."
The emperor's frown deepened. Jia Xu on the side looked calm and composed, but Xun You looked a little unsightly.
Just listen to Yang Yi continue to talk: "The so-called emperor and ministers are not upright, and humanity is not harmonious... then Situ will be punished."
Tu Qiongdiao saw that this was probably Yang Yi's impromptu idea. Before he had time to discuss with everyone in the Yang family, he seized the opportunity and wanted to take this opportunity to attack Situ Ma Rixi.
"In the first lunar month, the imperial court dismissed the Taiwei because of the solar eclipse. It has only been more than two months now. The sudden replacement may cause turmoil in the government and the public..." Xun You said immediately and glanced at Yang Yi dissatisfied.
The emperor said slowly: "The house's self-destruction is just an anomaly, not a disaster. It would be childish to blame the three princes for this."
Yang Yizheng was about to say more when Zhao Yan suddenly said: "The house fell down because the princes raped the master."
"What princes?" Yang Yi was a little displeased with Zhao Yan's behavior and stared at him and said: "Nowadays, all the governors are coming to court and submitting their envoys to your Majesty. There is no way for the following to overshadow the superiors. In my opinion, this matter should be taken seriously.
Predicted within.”
Zhao Yan said unhurriedly: "The damage to the outer room of Xuanping Gate this time is a sign of war, and there may be chaos somewhere."
The emperor was now interested. He looked at Jia Xu, who was also a little surprised, and then asked: "Since Zhao Qing said that war will begin, what evidence does he have?"
Seeing that the emperor did not take his words to heart, Yang Yi could only stop talking. Anyway, what he just did was just casual. If it works, it doesn't matter.
At this time, he stopped talking and looked at Zhao Yan coldly as he continued to explain: "Since ancient times, armies have entered and exited through this door. Now that the house is in ruins due to Xuan Ping, the emperor will have military affairs. And the house is in ruins due to Xuan Ping.
Outside the door means that the war begins outside and there is no worry inside."
Jia Xu suddenly said quietly: "I wonder where the doctor thinks this war will start? What is the situation of the war?"
"Xuanping Gate is located in the northeast of Chang'an. This battle must have started from the northeast." Zhao Yan turned to Jia Xu and said: "As for the result, most of the victorious and triumphant armies have always entered the city through this gate, so this gate is called 'Xuanping Gate'.
Even if there is a war, the imperial court will win in the end."
The emperor became more and more surprised. Not to mention whether the house's destruction really foreshadowed something, Zhao Yan's explanation had almost foreseen a future battle in Hedong. He told Zhao Yan
This person couldn't help but gain a new understanding, and at the same time he became wary of today's incident.
"What nonsense." The emperor said in disbelief: "The house has broken down, and it must have been caused by silverfish. It has been raining continuously for the past few days, and the inside of the house is rotten. It cannot be noticed from the outside. It has collapsed for a while, and it is like this under the sky.
I don’t know how many people are doing this. If they all blame the ministers and the local government for this, how will the imperial court be able to govern the world!"
Some harsh words made everyone say yes with awe.
"As a doctor, Zhao Yan has the responsibility of educating people. From now on, he is not allowed to teach the theory of the Five Elements in Taixue, and this matter is not allowed to be spread outside the country." The emperor pretended to be unbelieving and scolded Zhao Yan in order to prevent this news.
According to legend, after giving the instructions, the emperor had his car ready and took a group of people back to Weiyang Palace.
He had a hunch in his heart that this matter was only temporarily suppressed, but in fact it was far from over.
On the way back in the car, the emperor couldn't help but said to Xun You, who was riding in the car: "The way of heaven is far-reaching and cannot be achieved by human effort. You really have to take care of yourself!"
