Chapter One Hundred and Ninety-One: Yuan Tiangang Investigates Guo Yun
Divination has a long history. The earliest divination method was yarrow divination, and the method was very complicated.
Dayan's number is fifty, and it uses forty to have nine, divide it into two, use two images, hang one to represent three...
Later, Master Guigu improved the divination technique by using copper coins, and what Yuan Tiangang uses now is also copper coins.
Copper coins are usually used for divination in numbers of three.
It is said that Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, and three gives rise to all things.
This time, Yuan Tiangang needed to divine the fortune of the country, so he used nine copper coins.
Divide the nine copper coins into three groups and observe their changes.
With the clang sound, the hexagram image of the first hexagram has appeared.
After seeing the hexagram, Yuan Tiangang's face showed a look of extreme surprise, and he was shocked beyond measure.
This, how is this possible?
The hexagrams displayed at this time were actually completely different from the hexagrams he predicted a year ago.
Yuan Tiangang absolutely does not believe that he made a divination error a year ago. He has great confidence in his divination skills.
But now, how could such a huge recurrence occur in just one year?
Of course, there are errors in divination.
Therefore, every large-scale divination usually requires several divination, and then the hexagrams are recorded separately, and the closest group is selected through comparison.
Therefore, Yuan Tiangang put away the copper coins and started today's second hexagram.
At this time, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty felt very uneasy when he saw Yuan Tiangang's surprised expression.
Because he doesn't know whether the hexagram is good or bad, but looking at Yuan Tiangang's expression, I'm afraid it's not a good hexagram, right?
Bang!
The copper coin fell to the ground again.
After the copper coins were completely still, Yuan Tiangang's face once again showed a look of seeing a ghost.
This hexagram is actually exactly the same as the first hexagram!
This is really incredible.
This situation is almost beyond the scope of Yuan Tiangang's cognition.
This has never happened before.
The art of divination is actually to discern the way of heaven.
Man follows the earth, earth follows heaven, heaven follows Tao, and Tao follows nature.
Heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, which have no name. These two are both called xuan, and xuan is also xuan, the door to all mysteries.
Divination is to get a glimpse of the changes in the way of heaven.
In Yuan Tiangang's understanding, changes in the way of heaven cannot be changed by humans. How could such a huge change occur in just one year?
Therefore, Yuan Tiangang started the third divination today without believing in evil.
Bang!
As a result, the hexagrams of the third divination remained the same!
It was exactly the same three times in a row. This time, Yuan Tiangang gave up completely.
There must have been huge changes here that I didn't expect.
By the way, at this time, Yuan Tiangang suddenly thought of one of the most crucial figures!
That was the girl from the Wu family that he had seen a few years ago.
At that time, Yuan Tiangang saw that the girl had the appearance of an emperor.
In the future, he will definitely slaughter the blood of the Tang Dynasty royal family and ascend the throne as emperor.
At that time, Yuan Tiangang only broadcast a few words in a vague way, saying that this woman would be extremely valuable in the future.
Yuan Tiangang has always kept this matter in his heart and never dared to tell anyone.
Because he knew very well that as long as he told this matter, he would definitely die!
Moreover, even if he tells it, he may not be able to get rid of that girl from the Wu family and change the future.
Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs.
Tianji is not that easy to change.
However, it only lasted for one year, and the secret of heaven was really changed.
If I could see the girl from the Wu family again, I would probably be able to see the secret behind it.
Next, Yuan Tiangang is going to visit the Wu family.
After clearing his mind, Yuan Tiangang put away the copper coins and ended today's divination.
"Your Majesty, I have completed the divination."
Li Shimin asked nervously: "My dear, what is the result of the divination? How is my luck in the Tang Dynasty?"
Yuan Tiangang smiled and said: "Congratulations to your Majesty, congratulations to your Majesty, our fortune in the Tang Dynasty is long and will last for eternity!"
"oh?"
Hearing Yuan Tiangang's words, Li Shimin was happy at first, but then a suspicion arose in his heart.
Is this Yuan Tiangang really that magical?
I'm afraid you didn't mean to fool me by saying this?
Yuan Tiangang seemed to have noticed Li Shimin's suspicion.
At this time, Yuan Tiangang had his own ambitions. He wanted to write a book on astronomy and pass on what he had learned throughout his life.
To achieve this goal, we must first gain Li Shimin's trust.
Therefore, Yuan Tiangang calculated with his fingers, and then said calmly: "To report to the emperor, I have calculated that tomorrow morning, there will be a pig running in the street on Pingkang Street, causing countless people to chase it."
oh?
Hearing Yuan Tiangang's words, Li Shimin suddenly became interested.
It seems that Yuan Tiangang intends to show off his skills in front of me.
However, what he said is simply impossible.
There are very few people raising pigs in Chang'an City, and Pingkang Street is a wealthy street. How could there be pigs running on the street?
This has never happened in all these years.
Unless someone planned to arrange this scene.
snort!
I will ask people to strengthen their defenses tomorrow and see how you arrange it.
Yuan Tiangang seemed to see what Li Shimin was thinking, and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, if your Majesty arranges for someone to intervene, this matter will naturally not happen."
Um?
He can actually guess my thoughts?
Li Shimin was slightly startled, and then he laughed loudly and said: "Don't worry, I will never interfere in this matter! However, Aiqing can't interfere in this matter either! Someone, take Yuan Aiqing to rest, and wait for her, please, don't do it!" Neglect."
Li Shimin's implication was to temporarily place Yuan Tiangang under house arrest and prevent him from contacting outsiders or conveying news.
Li Shimin believed that Yuan Tiangang, who had just arrived in Beijing today, would never have arranged all this in advance.
Today's hexagram can only be his temporary idea, and he can arrange it later.
And I will put him under house arrest today to see what else he can do.
But Yuan Tiangang, who heard Li Shimin's order, still didn't understand what Li Shimin meant.
He smiled slightly and did not take this matter to heart. Instead, he saluted Li Shimin and said, "Wei Chen, please retire."
After Yuan Tiangang was taken down, Li Shimin called a chamberlain, and then ordered: "Wait for tomorrow morning, take a few people to Pingkang Street to see what will happen tomorrow morning."
"Remember, you only have your eyes and ears, and you are absolutely not allowed to use your hands. I want you to record everything exactly, and then come back and tell me. Do you understand?"
"I understand, Your Majesty. I will obey your orders and promise to handle things beautifully. Your Majesty, please rest assured."
