This year was the second year after Li Shimin succeeded to the throne. Although Li Shimin was talented and strategic, with both civil and military skills, the problem was that he could not withstand the difficulties of the country when he had just ascended the throne.
When he just ascended the throne last year, the Turkic Khan Jieli Khan went south and approached Chang'an. Thanks to Li Shimin's arrangements in advance and his ability to frighten Jieli Khan, Jieli Khan withdrew his troops.
But for Li Shimin, it was humiliation.
He is the Lord of the Central Plains.
He is the emperor of Tang Dynasty.
But he signed a covenant with a barbarian. Even if Li Shimin didn't want to sign this covenant, he had to sign it. But in his heart, Li Shimin also secretly vowed to destroy the Turks and take revenge.
But when Li Shimin was building up his army, it seemed as if God was going to have a hard time with him. Last year's hard days had just ended, but this year when it was time for spring plowing, there was a long drought in Guanzhong, and locusts appeared everywhere, making life extremely difficult for the local people.
.
As the emperor, Li Shimin personally set an example, cut down on food and clothing, and called on the wealthy families in the world to donate food. The problem was that every wealthy family cried out for poverty, and in the end very little food was collected.
On this day, Li Shimin was still handling government affairs conscientiously.
The palace where Li Shimin is now located is in the Ganlu Palace. After he became emperor, Li Yuan has already retreated to the second line and moved to a separate palace to retire. After all, Li Yuan can no longer be involved in government affairs and is just a symbolic emperor.
Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair.
It's just that the feeling is not pleasant. After all, the entire Tang Dynasty is a scene of mourning. The people have just survived the war and have finally recovered a little. However, there is a drought in Guanzhong and the people's life is extremely difficult.
Even though the imperial court continued to issue decrees to appease the people and allocate food for disaster relief, in fact, the severe drought in Guanzhong still had a great impact on the people.
It also had a great influence on the imperial court.
There are even rumors among the public that this is because Li Shimin was in the wrong position, which led to the anger of the people and the Turkic invasion last year and the drought this year. They say that all of this was caused by Li Shimin.
Li Shimin felt miserable.
Fortunately, Li Shimin's many years of fighting have developed a strong heart, so that these rumors will not affect his emotions and his arrangements for governing the place.
Each piece of government affairs is reviewed continuously.
"Report!"
At this moment, a eunuch entered and reported: "Your Majesty, Yuan Tiangang, the eunuch of Qintian Supervisor, wants to see you."
"Xuan!"
Li Shimin gave an order.
Yuan Tiangang is now the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor, responsible for the important task of observing the astronomical phenomena and promulgating the calendar. Especially during the Sui Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang was good at observing the astronomical phenomena. Now, he has been called into the court as an official by Li Shimin.
As the eunuch entered, not long after, he saw an old man wearing official uniform, with white hair and beard, thin body, and an immortal spirit. This old man was none other than Yuan Tiangang.
He is now nearly eighty years old.
But Yuan Tiangang, who is eighty years old, does not look old at all, even though his hair and beard are white. His steps are steady, his eyes are clear, and his eyes are piercing, just like a man in his forties or fifties.
Such a person greatly admired Li Shimin.
Li Shimin once asked Yuan Tiangang if there was a way to immortality, but Yuan Tiangang shook his head and said no. That is to say, Yuan Tiangang did not mix with vulgar things, devoted himself to Taoism, and practiced martial arts all year round, so he could be healthy.
There was a smile on Yuan Tiangang's face. He bowed and saluted Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin said: "Yuan Qing came in, what's the matter?"
"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty!"
Yuan Tiangang bowed his hands in salute, with a bright smile on his face and an excited expression.
Li Shimin said: "Why is Yuan Qing like this?"
Yuan Tiangang replied: "Reporting to your majesty, I have been observing the celestial phenomena at night recently, and suddenly discovered that the celestial phenomena of the Tang Dynasty have undergone major changes. Originally, there were small intrusions around your Majesty's Ziwei Emperor Star, which would affect the brightness of your Majesty's Ziwei Emperor Star.
.Looking at the celestial phenomena, these little ones will eventually be swept away one by one by Your Majesty."
"The difficulties faced by His Majesty will be solved one by one."
"The Tang Dynasty will surely prosper and prosper under your Majesty's leadership. However, according to the celestial phenomena, this should take a long time and requires your Majesty's hard work."
"After all, the celestial phenomena of the entire Tang Dynasty are not clear enough."
"But, the stars changed suddenly last night."
Yuan Tiangang said sternly: "I discovered that a star appeared. I couldn't tell what it was, but although it was tiny, it was extremely bright. As soon as he appeared, he swept away the gloomy scene and made the entire sky suddenly appear.
It’s as bright as daylight.”
"Originally, I was worried that this star phenomenon would invade the Ziwei Emperor Star."
"But as this star moves, wherever it passes, the dirt disappears and the dust disappears and light emerges. Especially when he reaches the Ziwei Emperor Star that represents His Majesty, the entire Ziwei Emperor Star shines brightly. For a moment, the minister
It was so bright that I couldn't even open my eyes."
"Soon, normalcy returned."
"This star has been surrounding His Majesty's Ziwei Emperor Star, and it has not changed since then."
When Yuan Tiangang said this, he paused for a moment before continuing: "I have been watching the sky at night for decades, and I have never seen such a scene. I believe that this is the sign of great prosperity. Although the Tang Dynasty is experiencing difficulties now, it will definitely
All the hardships will be rewarded with joy."
After Li Shimin heard this, he was a little confused.
He doesn't understand this celestial phenomenon.
However, this did not hinder him at all. He understood what Yuan Tiangang meant, which meant that he, Li Shimin, was the true master of the world, and the sky recognized him. That was why the Ziwei Emperor Star was so bright.
Image changes.
Li Shimin said: "Yuan Qing, where do you think this person is? And what is the situation."
Yuan Tiangang shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know either. Regarding the current situation, I also came to a conclusion by looking at the stars. As for other more, it is still unknown. What I can be sure of is that the Tang Dynasty will definitely
If there are changes, there will definitely be changes, and they won’t continue like this forever.”
"boom!!!"
Suddenly, thunder sounded in the sky.
Following this thunder explosion, Li Shimin stood up from the dragon chair with a slight movement. Like a gust of wind, he ran out of the hall and stood at the entrance of the Ganlu Hall.
Now outside the main hall, the wind started to blow.
The weather in April is warm, but it has been dry, which is a bit tricky. But now, thunder has sounded in the sky, dark clouds have gathered, and strong winds are blowing, which is an obvious sign of rain.
Yuan Tiangang also came out. He stood beside Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, when I entered the palace, the sun was still shining brightly. But now, suddenly dark clouds cover the sky and spring thunder appears. This is a good sign!"
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Li Shimin praised one after another and said: "Yuan Qing, you are right. There must be a saint in our Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, it would not be like this! Alas, I just don't know where this saint came from."
Yuan Tiangang said: "Your Majesty, no matter where the saint comes from, there is one thing. The Tang Dynasty is a good thing now. The Tang Dynasty today will not continue to be dry."
Regarding celestial phenomena, Yuan Tiangang is extremely confident.
He believes that the world has changed.
However, this change is for the better, not for the worse.
"Tap! Tread!!"
There was a sound of rapid footsteps.
But Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui came. These three people were Li Shimin's absolute confidants. All three people's faces were full of smiles.
In particular, Changsun Wuji was running at the front. As he ran, he completely lost his grace and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it's going to rain, it's going to rain."
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui followed, both of them smiling like idiots.
In fact, there is a lot of discussion between the government and the public today.
There is also endless discussion among the public.
They all accused Li Shimin, saying that Li Shimin's position was unfair, and that it was Li Shimin who made the sky angry, so the sky was angry and people complained. But now a heavy rain can resolve all these problems. Originally, Li Shimin was going to prepare a sacrifice to the sky, but
Nowadays, there is no need to worship heaven anymore, so a lot of things are saved.
"Tick tock! Tick tock!!"
Suddenly, it started raining in the sky.
In a short time, the rain had turned into a downpour, and smoke and dust were splashed all over the ground. The heavy rain fell like a dump, making the ground quickly soaked. Li Shimin looked at it, and his face was filled with smiles.
"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty!"
Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui all spoke.
The faces of the three people were full of joy.
Li Shimin also nodded. He looked at the falling rain and said Yuan Tiangang's conclusion just now in front of Zhang Sun Wuji and the other three, and then said: "After Yuan Qing just finished speaking, the weather with clear sky suddenly disappeared.
It started raining heavily. Tell me whether Yuan Qing's judgment is correct."
Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Your Majesty, no matter what, this is a good thing."
Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling also answered in unison.
Both of them are Li Shimin's confidants, and they naturally hope that Li Shimin can sit firmly in the emperor's position. So now that Yuan Tiangang has said this, it is actually the best.
The monarch and his ministers watched the heavy rain happily.
And in Lantian County, southwest of Chang'an.
In Wangjia Village.
In a dilapidated house at the entrance of the village, a young man opened his eyes. The moment the young man opened his eyes, his mind was confused and confused for a moment, but after a while, everything in his mind became clear.
This is clearly Wang Can.
In other words, at this time, Wang Can did not travel through the body like he did in the Sui Dynasty in his previous life. In this life, he used the sky knife to shatter the void and travel through it. His body was destroyed in the process, and only his consciousness was left.
Attached to the heavenly sword and crossing the void.
In the end, Tian Dao took him and put him into the body of the young man named Wang Can. He became a scholar in Wangjia Village, Lantian County, in the second year of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty.
Today, he is also called Wang Can.
It's just that this situation is a bit miserable, or quite miserable.
