Chapter 641: Clouds ascend to the sky without rain
Yuan Tiangang wanted to refuse, but he couldn't stand the knock on the door outside.
When he saw the person outside the door, his heart felt even more intense.
The person coming is the emperor's personal eunuch, doesn't it mean that the emperor wants to summon him Yuan Tiangang again!
Regarding the last locust plague, Yuan Tiangang had tried his best.
Fortunately, things seemed to be going in the direction he predicted, and the prince really went to provide disaster relief.
And the victims were comforted.
But Yuan Tiangang didn't know if he could predict it accurately next time.
"Master Yuan, Your Majesty has urgently summoned you to meet the Holy Spirit at the Li Zheng Hall." The eunuch said to Yuan Tiangang.
"May I ask if your majesty has told you why you summoned the minister?" Yuan Tiangang simply packed up and hurried to the Lizheng Palace with the eunuch.
"Master Yuan will find out when he gets there." The eunuch didn't explain much and walked in a hurry.
…
Yuan Tiangang was naturally worried.
When he saw the emperor and empress waiting outside the Zhengzheng Hall, he was shocked again.
I wonder what kind of big event happened in my heart that would make the emperor and empress stand here late at night.
"Your Majesty, Yuan Tiangang, pays homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Yuan Tiangang quickly saluted the two of them.
"Get up, Yuan Qing, the queen heard that you are good at divination and wants you to make a prediction."
"Do you have any questions?" Li Shimin waved his hand, looked at Yuan Tiangang, and said.
"The art of divination is complicated and mysterious. I only know sporadic methods, so I'm afraid it's not accurate." Yuan Tiangang and Li Shimin said, cupping their hands.
This made me feel relieved.
After Changsun transformed, he asked him to perform a divination. Even if something went wrong, he would probably not pursue it too closely.
As long as you follow the Queen's wishes and give a rough idea, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
"I have been feeling uneasy since the afternoon. I have been sleepless at night and bothered Yuan Qing." Empress Changsun said slowly.
Even now, she still felt extremely uneasy.
It seemed as if something big was going to happen next.
"This is my duty. I don't know what the Queen wants to do." Yuan Tiangang felt a lot more relaxed.
The queen is worried about nothing more than the safety of each prince.
Now all the princes are very nice, so he can easily get around them.
"I'll first ask Yuan Qingqing to do a divination for the prince," Empress Changsun said.
Li Shimin looked at Empress Changsun, and he realized that Empress Changsun had been worried all night because of Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian was in Chen, and Qian and Guizhou were providing disaster relief, and everything was going well.
I'm really worried about what he will do.
In contrast, Li Shimin was more worried about Zhao Chen who was far away in Songzhou.
It was too close to the Tibetan mainland, and Tibetan assassins would attack him at any time.
But this kid is so reckless.
Drill wherever there is danger.
Li Shimin himself regretted that he should not have given Zhao Chen full responsibility for the Songzhou Mutual Market in the first place.
If Niu Jinda could hold him down, it would be safer.
"After finishing the divination for the prince, I will do another divination for Wannian County Duke Zhao Chen." Li Shimin waved his hand.
"Yes!" Yuan Tiangang responded.
He also heard a lot of rumors about the emperor caring so much about Zhao Chen.
But he won't think too much about this matter.
Anyway, he does his own thing honestly, and rumors and so on have nothing to do with him, Yuan Tiangang.
Yuan Tiangang took out a small bamboo tube from his arms and put six copper coins in it.
He handed it to Empress Changsun and said: "Please meditate on what you have predicted in your heart, shake the bamboo tube, and then slowly pour out the copper coins inside."
Li Shimin frowned, such a prediction was not as accurate as Yuan Tiangang's previous observation of celestial phenomena.
Queen Changsun took the small bamboo tube and slowly shook the copper coins inside.
After taking a few breaths, he poured the six copper coins in the bamboo tube onto the ground.
"Yuan Qing, how are you?" Queen Changsun asked.
In the darkness of night, Yuan Tiangang looked at the six copper coins in front of him, and his expression changed slightly.
Looking at the emperor from the corner of his eye, he saw the emperor looking at him coldly.
"Yuan Tiangang, what big thing is going to happen?" Li Shimin's voice suddenly turned cold, and his whole body exuded a dangerous aura.
"No, what the empress threw is the fifth hexagram - the hexagram of water and heaven's needs."
"When the clouds are in the sky and there is no rain, you cannot rush forward and wait for the sign of opportunity. A wise man must wait for the time and move forward. Rushing forward will be dangerous." Yuan Tiangang replied.
"What do you mean?" Li Shimin asked.
"Reporting to your majesty, empress, the meaning of this hexagram is that you should not act impatiently. If you act hastily, you will encounter danger." Yuan Tiangang explained, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
The queen asked him to divine the prince's situation, and the situation he came up with now is not very good.
Yuan Tiangang only said that as long as you are not impatient, nothing will happen.
But if you are impatient, the consequences...
"If you are impatient, what will be the consequences?" Queen Changsun asked.
"This..." Yuan Tiangang hesitated.
"Just say whatever you figure out, I won't hold you accountable." Li Shimin looked at Yuan Tiangang and said in a deep voice.
"I'm afraid there will be swords coming..."
"What?"
"nonsense!"
…
Niu Jinda tried to persuade Zhao Chen for a long time, but he really couldn't persuade him.
All the students in the academy only obeyed Zhao Chen's orders.
It's not like Niu Jinda didn't think about detaining Zhao Chen directly, but doing so was completely meaningless.
Niu Jinda can't keep Zhao Chen by his side all the time.
Moreover, Zhao Chen said in front of so many people yesterday that he would personally inspect the road construction situation.
So many soldiers were listening, and they were all waiting for Zhao Chen to frighten the Tubo people who were making trouble.
"Have you worn the soft armor inside? The arrows of the Tubo assassins are extremely powerful. Without the soft armor, it will be extremely dangerous." Niu Jinda and Li Ruoshuang asked.
Li Ruoshuang nodded and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Niu, I will always be by Zhao Chen's side."
"Oh, I really don't want him to go. He still insists on going there even though he knows it is extremely dangerous. I really don't understand what you guys think." Niu Jinda sighed.
Li Ruoshuang smiled and said: "Uncle Niu, only when the matter here is resolved can Zhao Chen return to Chang'an with peace of mind."
"Although I am a little anxious, with so many of us protecting you, nothing will happen. Don't worry."
"Yesterday's assassin committed suicide during the pursuit. It shows that they are not ordinary assassins. Such people pursue a fatal blow."
"You all have different identities. If something happens to anyone, it will be a big trouble." Niu Jinda shook his head again.
If possible, he would be willing to go there instead of Zhao Chen.
But Zhao Chen insisted on going by himself.
"There is nothing different. Zhao Chen has said it a long time ago. Everyone in the world is born to his parents. If something happens to someone, his family will be equally sad."
"The lives of the soldiers are also lives. They can go, and so can we." Li Ruoshuang said slowly.
Even now, she thought about when Zhao Chen said these words again, and her heart was still filled with turmoil.
With Zhao Chen's current status, all he has to do is open his mouth and tens of millions of people are willing to go through fire and water for him.
