When the emperor goes on a tour, even if he returns to the capital Chang'an, he definitely needs to follow some procedures and follow the steps.

Since that's the case, isn't it good to do it slowly?

What's more, Chen An was not prepared to confront Li Shimin head-on.

What would he say?

How would he react?

Chen An was very nervous, but there was no way out. He had been dragged into the hall by Li Zhi, as if he had been forcibly caught up with a duck, and had no way out.

Even if he wanted to delay for a while, Li Zhi would not give him a chance. So, they had just arrived at the palace and had not had time to take a sip of tea, Li Zhi started to get to the point.

"Father, I have something important to you, and I must report it myself." Li Zhi's excited look made Li Shimin alert.

I know my son best. On weekdays, if nothing big happens, Li Zhi's expression is very calm.

Now standing in front of him, he is like a restless rabbit. I don’t have to think about it and know that there must be some conspiracy.

Moreover, this conspiracy is related to Shen An.

His eyes were slanted, and Shimin looked at Chen An. They left the palace together, and Li Shimin knew that, but he did not expect that they would come back in less than an hour.

This is too fast.

Li Shimin knew very well how much Xiao Zhinu was playing tricks. As soon as he arrived in Luoyang, he would be like a bird plunging into the mountains and forests, free and easy, and he would not want to return to the palace at all.

But this time, with his best friend Chen An following, the few of them just stayed for a while and came back. It was really strange.

Li Shimin couldn't help but wonder that the reason that prompted Li Zhi to return to the palace was still Shen An.

This is interesting. He temporarily put down his official duties, raised an ear, and listened quietly.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Zhi immediately said: "Father, Mr. Chen said that something big will happen during our time in Luoyang!"

After saying that, he turned to Chen An and blinked at him, looking very playful. Chen An immediately realized his responsibilities.

Go ahead a few steps and wait for Li Shimin to ask questions. Obviously, Li Zhi did not intend to shake this matter out through his own mouth, but gave this precious opportunity to Chen An. Since you said the prophecy yourself, you will tell your father personally.

"Report to Your Majesty, this is the thing. I am looking at the celestial phenomena at night. It is expected that there will be a huge thunderstorm in Luoyang City in the past few days, causing continuous floods, and even affecting the imperial city and flooding some of the palaces. Therefore, I am advised that Your Majesty return to Chang'an as soon as possible."

It turned out that this was the case. Shimin smiled. Chen An knew when he saw his expression that he didn't take it to heart at all. This was normal.

This is the Tang Dynasty. As an emperor, the most important task every day is to deal with various government affairs. As the center of the empire, he needs to use his entire body of intelligence and energy to maintain the normal operation of government affairs.

However, the so-called government affairs are not all real and useful things. There are many things that are completely meaningless and require as much as possible.

For example, various astronomical predictions, today we say that Purple Micro Star is rebellious, which is not good for the monarch's health, such as fireflies and Mars approaching, and great bad omen.

As a formal department of the imperial court, the Taishi Bureau, which is responsible for observing astronomical phenomena, is actually a very important department.

About every other month, or when an important astronomical phenomenon suddenly appears, the Langguan of the Taishi Bureau will give a detailed report to Li Shimin.

But now, Li Shimin has not received such a report.

Unfortunately, Li Shimin didn't understand the professional terms of Tai Shi Ling at all, so he didn't care much about them.

I just listened to it as a joke. After many years of being in the army, Li Shimin only believed in one principle, that is, my destiny is my own, not my god.

It is precisely because of such a firm belief that Li Shimin can now sit in this seat.

However, after all, why did Chen An mention the matter of celestial phenomena? Isn’t that very strange?

There are more and more mysteries in this young man, and it is becoming more and more difficult to see clearly. He can make money, he can make weapons, and he can also make snacks like rock candy. Now, he has added another skill to understand the celestial phenomena!

Is this possible?

"Chen Lang, do you mean that you are more knowledgeable about the celestial phenomena than the Lang Officer of the Taishi Bureau?"

Chen An hurriedly denied that he would not dare. The person who is in charge of the Tang Dynasty's Taishi Bureau is the famous legendary Taoist Li Chunfeng.

Where such a capable man is placed, what virtues and abilities are he capable of comparing with him?

Don't joke, Li Shimin put down the book, but in fact, he had never read it seriously from their entrance, just pretending.

"Since you admit that your ability is not enough to compare with the men and women, they have not reported to me, where did you get the news in advance?"

"Is it really a sign from God?"

Chen An was speechless for a moment. Whether to connect this premonition with the celestial phenomena again was his hesitation.

Finally, he made up his mind and continued to deal with Li Shimin as he told Li Zhi.

This is also impossible. For people of their era, it is obvious that it is a very good strategy to place many things that cannot be explained on the illusory celestial phenomena. After all, people of their era still believe in this set of things.

Since you want to accomplish something, to a certain extent, you have to give your preferences. There is nothing shameful about it. A little move is likely to save many lives. Why not do it?

Sure enough, under the dual evidence of celestial phenomena and old injuries, Li Shimin was moved by him, but then he fell into trouble again.

"Your Majesty, I mean, for the safety of the people along the coast, you might as well move the residents on both sides of the Luo River for a while, and wait until the flood recedes, and then move them back. The time will not last long, it will only take a few days."

That's it?

Li Shimin was so arrogant that this kid didn't blush at all when he spoke big words.

"Chen An, do you know how many homes are there on both sides of the Luo River? How many people are there among these homes?"

"How much manpower and material resources does it take to move them all to other places?" Li Shimin did not expect that Chen An's ultimate goal was here.

He actually wanted to move the residents on both sides of the Luo River just to avoid the flood that might come. Strictly speaking, this is of course a good act.

If a sudden flood in the city really occurs, it is of course best to transfer the people in advance. However, it can not only reduce property losses, but most importantly, it can also save the people from suffering.

Once a flood came, even if the court tried its best to rescue the disaster, it was still difficult to avoid the people being displaced and even losing their lives.

However, it is never easy to do such a good deed.
