But then I thought about it, with Su Chen's mysterious erudition, even if he can calculate, there is nothing worth making a fuss about!
After experiencing so many things, he no longer treats Su Chen as an ordinary person!
Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er temporarily forgot about Su Chen's attempt to trick him.
If something like this really happens, even if Su Chen empties the treasury, the dam must be built!
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. His Majesty Li Er said in a hurry: "I know, Dad. You two have been playing for a day. You must be exhausted. Please rest early."
After saying hello to Empress Changsun, His Majesty Li Er stood up and left, heading towards the imperial study.
Immediately send someone to invite Duke Zhao, Duke Zheng, and Duke Lai to the imperial study."
"Tell them to come as quickly as possible!"
Not long after, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng arrived.
Changsun Wuji raised his hands in confusion and asked, "Why did your Majesty summon his ministers to wait so urgently?"
His Majesty Li Er had a serious look on his face and said in a deep voice: "There will be a huge flood in two years."
"The scale is so large that it is rare, and it will submerge more than 30 states and counties!"
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji and the other three were frightened!
It's so good, how could something like this happen suddenly?
After a while, Du Ruhui hesitated and said, "Why did your Majesty say this?"
"Why would there be a flood two years later? How could such a thing be predicted?"
The other two people also nodded in confusion.
If someone who is proficient in Zhouyi divination can deduce this matter, it would be possible.
But it won't be so detailed, even the time and scale of occurrence can be calculated.
Wouldn't that make him a living god?
"That guy Su Chen said this!"
His Majesty Li Er continued: "My two daughters went to Wannian County today."
"Li Zhi told me that Su Chen is going to build a dam on the Yellow River!"
"That's what it's for!"
What Su Chen said?
After hearing this, the hesitations on the three faces of Changsun Wuji and others subsided a lot.
Although they didn't know why Su Chen suddenly said this, based on Su Chen's brilliant record in the past, they had to pay attention!
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. Can you, Su Chen, tell me where you got the news?"
His Majesty Li Er shook his head and said: "He didn't say anything specific, he just said it was an inference."
"But according to his temperament, he will never make something out of nothing!"
"Now he's already planning to build a dike."
"Had he not been completely sure, he would never have done such a thankless thing!"
Changsun Wuji frowned deeply and said, "Then did he say that he would build a dam there?"
His Majesty Li Er shook his head and said: "That boy wants to repair all the dams in the former Sui Dynasty!"
"Li Zhi said that he has a new way of building embankments. After repairing them, they can withstand floods for several years without being damaged!"
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji was a little dumbfounded.
"How much money will it cost?"
"Repairing them all will take a lot of time and effort. Even emptying the treasury will not be enough!"
His Majesty Li Er continued to say in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to study this matter."
"If this flood really happens in two years, even if taxes and levies are increased, the dam will have to be built in advance!"
Wei Zheng considered it carefully and said: "Your Majesty, some of these predictions can come true, but a large part of them will be ignored."
"Even if Su Chen said this, we must treat it carefully."
"Although the national treasury will receive a large sum of money recently."
"But didn't His Majesty say that he would use this money to build a new waterwheel from Su Chen to irrigate farmland?"
"If Su Chen's calculation is wrong, then the farmland irrigation... won't it be delayed for two years?"
"Such a price is really huge!"
"So I feel that we should not make a decision rashly!"
After hearing this, His Majesty Li Er thought for a while.
This makes sense.
Although Su Chen often said shocking things in the past, these were conclusions based on analysis of existing facts.
It can only mean that he has a little knowledge of Li, and his intelligence is beyond astonishing.
But this calculation is really mysterious and mysterious.
Even with Su Chen's intelligence, it can't be said to be accurate, right?
After a while, His Majesty Li Er spoke slowly: "Keming, do you have any good suggestions?"
Du Ruhui cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have heard that Li Chunfeng from the Taishi Bureau is proficient in the Yixue."
"Many officials in the court are quite convinced of his Yixue servant calculation."
"This way of learning is quite mysterious. I don't even know a few things about it."
"Of course I can't explain why."
"You might as well call him here and listen to his opinion."
Li Erxia frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "What Keming is talking about is the descendant of Qizhou Taoism who gave some opinions on the "Wuyin Yuanli" at the beginning of the year?"
"Exactly this person."
Du Ruhui nodded and said, "That's good. I've also heard that he is quite proficient in the Yixue."
"Then call him for questioning!"
"Auxiliary machine, Xuancheng, do you two have any objections?"
Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "I think what Keming said is very true."
Wei Zheng also nodded in agreement.
"Someone is coming!"
His Majesty Li Er ordered in a deep voice: "Immediately find Li Chunfeng, the general of the Taishi Bureau, and take him to the Imperial Study Room immediately!"
Li Junxian accepted Li Erxia's order and quickly walked out of the imperial study room with a confused look on his face.
Li Chunfeng?
He has never heard of this name at all!
Although he commands the Hundred Cavalry Division and supervises all officials according to His Majesty's orders.
But this Li Chunfeng was just a general minister, belonging to the lowest level of civil servants, a rank below the ninth rank.
Baiqisi pays attention to at least officials of the third rank or above. Such small officials are really not within the scope of their supervision, and they won't be able to find them for a while.
But looking at His Majesty Li Er's serious expression, it was obvious that something big was going on.
If it doesn't work well, wouldn't it make His Majesty angry?
With no other choice, Li Junxian had no choice but to use a stupid method, sending a large number of people to find out the news, trying to find this ninth-grade sesame official in Chang'an City where third-grade officials were everywhere.
Li Chunfeng is quite famous in history. As a successor of Taoism, he was proficient in astronomy, calendar, arithmetic and other knowledge.
The armillary seismometer, which became well known in later generations, was his masterpiece.
And his most famous masterpiece should be the famous Chinese prophecy, the strange book "Tui Bei Tu"!
Not only did he calculate that after three generations of the Tang Dynasty, the Wu family would destroy the Tang Dynasty, but he also calculated that the Tang Dynasty would go through twenty-one emperors.
All fulfilled!
Looking at this matter in later generations, it is indeed a bit mysterious.
