Yun Jin had a small table in the corner of Ziwei Hall. On the table were pens, ink, paper and inkstones, some delicious cakes, tea, and of course, Li Si who lay his head on his lap and slept soundly.
This corner is very remote, with tall pillars on one side and heavy curtains on the other. Some wind passes through the gaps in the curtains, making the air in this small corner fresh and cool.
In the empty Ziwei Palace hall, only Li Zhi and Pei Xingjian were talking.
The content is the current increasingly serious drought.
"So, Si Tianjian thinks this winter will be an unprecedented warm one?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Si Tianjian indeed thinks so. For this reason, Li Chunfeng measured the water volume of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River and found that the water volume of the Yellow River was less than 60% of previous years, and the water volume of the Yangtze River was only half of previous years.
In order to make the calculation more accurate, Li Chunfeng also climbed Taibai Mountain to measure the snow line. It was 30 feet less than in previous years. The icicles, seracs, and ice hangings in the ice cave on the northwest side of Xiantai in Taibai Peak were also higher than in previous years.
It's more than two feet short.
Li Chunfeng believed that the amount of rain in the sky was closely related to the amount of water on the ground, so he concluded that this year's winter in the Tang Dynasty would have more warm sunshine and less rain and snow.
Once Li Chunfeng's speculation becomes reality, I believe that from now on, Datang should start preparing for disaster relief."
Inspector Pei Xing had a fluttering beard, and he spoke eloquently in front of the emperor, showing the demeanor of a famous minister.
In comparison, Li Zhi on the opposite side looked a bit rotten. He was lying sideways on the brocade, holding a handful of fried chickpeas and placing them in his palm one by one, letting the giant bear lick them.
"How does Li Chunfeng view the Ice Age proposed by Yong Wangxian?"
Pei Xingjian organized his speech and said: "The Ice Age was not originally written by Yong Wangxian, but by Yun Chu. If your Majesty wants to understand this matter, you must first not misrepresent the origin of the Ice Age."
Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "Yunchu has no objection, why are you talking so much here?"
Pei Xingjian said: "This is related to future accountability."
Li Zhi raised his body and said: "Pursuing blame, what kind of blame? When did I, as a scholar in the Tang Dynasty, have to be careful about being found behind?"
Pei Xingjian said: "Once it is proven that the Ice Age is a myth, but the court has spent a lot of manpower and material resources in vain because of these myths, how can it not be held accountable?
If we don’t hold people accountable, won’t everyone be able to talk nonsense in the future?”
Li Zhi stood up and walked around Pei Xingjian, who was sitting on the ground, and said: "Is the theory of combined verticality wrong, or the art of continuous horizontality wrong? Is Huang Laozhi's theory wrong, or is it Mo Zhai's theory?
A liar?
The chats in the Jixia Academy and the debates on the Yanwang Platform are, in my opinion, the most wonderful music, and I wish I could listen to them.
It’s up to you to say it or not, it’s up to me to listen or not.
If I think it makes sense, you can implement it if you think it makes sense. So what if it is wrong? At least let us know that this idea is wrong and we will not do it again in the future.
Because talking about sinners is the stupidest thing to do, do you think that if everyone keeps their mouths shut, everything will be fine?
There are no ancients before me and no newcomers after me. At this moment, I have to try more, explore more, and find a feasible path from countless seemingly impassable roads. This is the most important thing at the moment."
When Pei Xingjian heard this, he sighed and said: "The minister's life can only be counted for a few decades. Why does your majesty ask the minister to judge what will happen in a hundred years or hundreds of years? Just like Confucius said: If you fail to serve people, how can you serve ghosts?
.
I only wish to serve Your Majesty well. As for what will happen a hundred years from now, God knows.
Yunchu may be able to get a glimpse of the secret, but I can't."
Li Zhi nodded and said, "Yunjin, has your father ever told you about the Ice Age?"
Yun Jin leaned over in the corner and said: "My father said that one can tell autumn when a leaf falls, and one can know the abundance of all things when a fruit is ripe. Making bold assumptions and carefully verifying is the attitude of our scholars. What my father said about the Ice Age is also a translation of
After reading the history books, a rule was summarized from the hydrological records and disaster records of past dynasties.
The Ice Age is actually not a simple disaster warning, but a comparison between disasters and the rise of dynasties. It includes the study of climate change on war, politics, economy, culture, farming, and commerce at that time.
Yong Wangxian did further research based on the concept of the Ice Age proposed by his father and found more examples of the impact of climate on the situation of the dynasty and the formation of the dynasty.
It is currently impossible to know whether these examples really exist or are far-fetched. Only when the Ice Age that my father said has completely arrived and the disaster is completely caused can we prove whether the Ice Age theory is right or wrong."
Pei Xingjian said: "It's just a guess."
Yun Jin cupped his hands and said, "Suiren guessed that you can get fire by drilling wood, and Leizu guessed that you can get silk by drilling silk. My father said, without guessing, we are still eating hair and drinking blood, just like wild beasts."
Pei Xingjian felt that it was beneath his dignity to argue with Yun Jin, so he said to the emperor: "Let Yun Chu worry about the long-term, and I will be responsible for calming down the immediate worries. The drought in the Tang Dynasty is imminent. Please allow me to summon all civil and military officials to jointly deal with it."
This disaster.”
Li Zhi thought for a moment and said, "But, tell them again, natural disasters are forgivable, but man-made disasters are unforgivable. Ruichun, come out!"
Following the emperor's angry roar, Ruichun appeared quietly behind Pei Xingjian. Emperor Li Zhi looked at Pei Xingjian and said: "Ruichun, this time I will supervise the world - everyone!
If there is any illegal activity, those below the fifth rank will be executed first and then reported."
Pei Xingjian's face began to twitch, and the emperor gave Ruichun orders to him, which was extremely heartbreaking.
Yun Jin sat quietly in the corner, recording the conversation between the emperor and Pei Xingjian one by one. Then she put down the pen in her hand, patted Li Si on the head, and signaled her to stop sleeping. The emperor obviously disliked him.
.
Li Sicai opened his sleepy eyes and saw the emperor with a giant bear looking at the two of them fiercely.
Li Si pushed away the drooling mouth of the giant bear, showed a bright smile to Li Zhi and said: "I miss my father. I see that my father is meeting the courtiers, and the child is hiding here with Secretary Yun..."
Li Zhi looked at Yun Jin and said, "Where do you like her?"
Yun Jin said: "We were together when we were young, and we didn't have much attachment at first. But after we stayed together for a long time, we found some benefits today and some benefits tomorrow. Over time, I felt that no woman in the world could compare with her.
Even better, I can’t live without it.”
Li Zhi said: "I've never seen anything good."
After that, he took the giant bear and left Ziwei Palace, but he still seemed very happy.
Yun Jin slapped Li Si and quickly stood up to catch up with the emperor.
At this time, there was already a blanket of red clouds outside Ziwei Palace, which stretched from the top of the palace to the horizon.
Li Zhi sighed and said: "The sky is filled with sunset, and tomorrow will be another sunny day."
Yun Jin said: "Your Majesty, I believe that our ancestors have lived on this land for thousands of years, and the current drought is just one of countless disasters. There is nothing to worry about.
I don’t believe it never rains.”
Li Zhi said: "Your father believes that man can conquer nature?"
Yun Jin shook his head and said: "That's not the case. Liu Rengui thinks so. My father is in awe of the unknown."
"Oh? I thought your father was fearless. Do you know why your father sent you to me?"
Yun Jin said: "Let your Majesty personally feel how outstanding Mr. Yun is."
Li Zhi glanced at Yun Jin and said: "You have raised your hands and surrendered, and you can still speak so forcefully. That's you Yun."
Yun Jin said: "My father loves Chang'an more than me."
Li Zhi said: "Yes, I have never seen a person be so affectionate for a place. Your father has done many wrong things, but he never missed it once for Chang'an.
It's good. If you have something to trust, you won't be lonely."
Yun Jin asked carefully: "Is Your Majesty lonely?"
Li Zhi patted the giant bear beside him and said, "Fortunately, I have it, I'm not lonely."
Yun Jin looked at the giant bear and then at Li Zhi and said, "I heard that His Majesty killed many secretaries?"
Li Zhi stroked the giant bear's ears and said: "Don't worry, I won't kill you..."
Conversations between people are sometimes so boring. It seems that everything is said, but in fact nothing is said. Whether you say it or not depends on what you think.
There must be a large part of it that deceives and anesthetizes oneself, and only a small part is true. This is why many people fantasize before going to bed.
After all, there is no connection between the dream world and reality.
When he got up in the morning, Wu Chengsi received very bad news. The door of his house was hooked with an iron hook and hung on a willow tree near his house.
When he came to the willow tree, the door was already dead. Not only was the mouth hooked with an iron hook, but the tongue was also pulled out of the mouth, and a big stone was tied to it.
This made Wu Chengsi discover for the first time that a person's tongue can actually grow so long.
Compared with the previous Wu Chengsi, the current Wu Chengsi is mature enough. The terrifying appearance of his disciples is nothing to him. He just lightly ordered the butler to report to the official, and then changed into court clothes and went to court as usual.
.
Today's court meeting will be hosted by Prince Li Hong if the emperor is not here. He must not be late.
Helan Minzhi was sitting on the second floor of a teahouse, watching Wu Chengsi walking towards the imperial city with a normal expression, and couldn't help but said to himself: "His emotions and anger are not expressed through his expressions?"
Although Wu Chengsi was fat, he looked very majestic when he was sitting on the horse. Knowing that his disciple was killed by his enemies, he brought fewer guards today, only four guards.
He Lan Minzhi pressed the mask on his face, drew out his horizontal knife and jumped from the second floor of the teahouse, slashing Wu Chengsi fiercely in the air.
Wu Chengsi was caught off guard, his head moved to the left, and Helan Minzhi's horizontal sword struck Wu Chengsi's shoulder heavily. Wu Chengsi screamed and fell from his horse, but Helan Minzhi retracted the horizontal sword in confusion.
, seeing Wu Chengsi's armor exposed under his torn robe, he suddenly realized. Facing the four guards who dismounted and rushed toward him, he retreated calmly, and when he reached the street, he threw it out.
Two thunderbolts.
Thunder bombs exploded in the crowd, and the people who were caught off guard ran for their lives.
Helan Minzhi was trapped in the crowd, and he lost one thing at a time. After walking a hundred or so steps, he had turned into a white-faced scholar, so he slowed down, turned around and walked towards the place where the incident occurred.
go.
