Li Mu's original intention was to settle accounts with Yuan Tiangang, but after seeing the push-back picture, he gave up the idea. As an atheist in the 21st century, he didn't believe in these tricks, but there was something really evil.
It’s so tight that I can’t explain it, so it’s better to stay away from it. It will be refreshed in ten minutes.
The necessary warnings have been given. Yuan Tiangang is a smart man and should not be so blind. If he still insists on going his own way, there is no need to take action himself. It will be enough for Eunuch Gao to charge into the battle. He is unlikely to have descendants anyway, so there is no need.
Worry about what means will be used.
But sometimes, if you don’t want to keep a respectful distance, you can just stay away.
The next day, just as Li Mu was about to go out, someone from the palace came to pick him up. Li Mu followed him into the palace and saw Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng again. Li Chunfeng's spirit seemed a little sluggish, and Yuan Tiangang was better, but compared with the past
, still looks a little worse.
There is a long scroll spread on the ground, and it is the push-back picture that was just performed yesterday. It has been framed and placed in a scroll. It is now spread on the ground, and Li Shimin is squatting next to it, thinking about something.
"Coming," Li Shimin heard the footsteps, looked up, pointed at the long scroll in front of him, and said, "Look at this, what can you think of?"
Li Mu squatted beside him, looked at it for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, I must say frankly that such poor painting skills are really unsightly."
"Don't be careless with me here. Didn't you see it yesterday?"
Li Mu looked at Yuan Tiangang, but Yuan Tiangang looked away. Li Mu snorted and said, "Your Majesty, I went to tell fortunes yesterday. Taoist priest Yuan said——"
"He has already told me, and I have reprimanded him. You have nothing to lose, so let this matter go." Li Shimin said this, still pointing to the push-back diagram on the ground, and said: "You go first
Help me look at this, why can’t I understand any of these pictures?”
Li Mu spread his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the person who ties the bell must be tied to untie it. Whoever drew it can you let someone explain?"
Li Chunfeng stood up and explained: "Master Hou, it's not that we don't explain it, but we really can't explain it."
"What?" Li Mu teased, "You haven't finished making up the lies yet?"
"How can you say this is a lie? This..." Li Chunfeng stuttered in a hurry, but Yuan Tiangang took over and said: "The so-called divination and calculations are all methods of spying on the secrets of the heavens. The secrets of the heavens are mysterious and mysterious, and they are usually hidden in the dark.
, extremely difficult to capture. It was also by chance yesterday that my junior brother found a clue and saw these things. This is like a dream. I only remember a few words when I wake up from the dream. I don’t know the cause and effect. How to explain it? "
Li Mu laughed dumbly and said: "Your Majesty, do you believe what he said?"
"I don't know if you can believe it or not. Let's just believe it. Please help me see if you can understand it a little bit."
Li Mu looked carefully and said nothing. Can he understand it? In fact, he can understand it, because he has seen these pictures a long time ago. When he was in the orphanage, he saw the printed version of the push-back diagram.
He couldn't understand the version with Jin Shengtan's annotations, but he could remember most of Jin Shengtan's annotations. Although it felt far-fetched, he could still cope with it.
But the Tui Bei Diagram in front of him is somewhat different from the Tui Bei Diagram in his memory. The Tui Bei Diagram in his memory has a total of sixty images, each of which is numbered with stems and branches, including: a hexagram image,
An image, a prophecy and a rhymed poem "Ode to the Saying", a total of four parts. But the tuibei diagram in front of you only has hexagrams, images, prophecies, and no "Ode to the Saying".
Therefore, compared with the Jin Shengtan version he had seen, the push-back picture in front of him had more room for imagination. After all, the version annotated by Jin Shengtan was based on prophecies and "Ode", and there were no poems, only images.
The hexagrams and a few specious prophecies can be explained no matter how they are explained.
Li Mu glanced at Yuan Tiangang secretly. He was not sure whether the original push-back picture did not contain the hymn, whether the hymn was copied by later generations, or whether Yuan Tiangang deliberately did not include the hymn and deliberately misled Li Shimin.
"Tell me what you see. I'm waiting for your reply."
"Oh," Li Mu heard that Li Shimin was a little impatient, and responded: "Your Majesty, I am also guessing. Look at the first picture. There are two circles, one red and one white, and there is a prophecy, the vast world,
I don’t know where to stop. The sun and the moon cycle and start again and again. That’s easy to explain. The sun and moon cycle. The red one is the sun and the white one is the moon. The cycle starts again and again. It’s just as the name suggests. But this picture can’t be so simple. I thought this picture has more meaning.
The extended meaning is——"
Li Mu protracted his voice, and just when Li Shimin was about to burst out, he stopped and said: "The principles of the rise and fall of dynasties!"
Li Shimin frowned: "What's the truth? I need to explain it in two circles."
"It's easy to understand," Li Mu pointed at the picture and said: "The general trend of the world is that if it divides for a long time, it will unite, and if it unites for a long time, it will divide. The seven kingdoms fought over the weekend and merged into Qin. After Qin was destroyed, Chu and Han fought against each other and merged into Han
The Han Dynasty revolted and unified the world since the Emperor Gaozu killed the White Snake. Later, Guangwu Zhongxing, passed to Emperor Xian, and divided into the Three Kingdoms. The Three Kingdoms returned to the Jin Dynasty, divided into the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and were unified by the Sui Dynasty. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, all the heroes stood together and finally returned to the Tang Dynasty. This is not
Is it just the same thing over and over again?”
Yuan Tiangang broke into a cold sweat after listening to it. Li Mu guessed right. Yuan Tiangang deliberately concealed the ode. But the content Li Mu guessed was almost the same as what the ode wanted to express. If he only guessed a little
Son, he wouldn't be so surprised, but now that he has guessed everything, he has to be frightened. Could it be that the reason why he has been giving Li Mu inaccurate fortunes has finally been found? Is he also a person in this way?
After hearing this, Li Shimin felt that it made sense. He nodded, pointed to the second picture, and said, "What does this basket of fruits mean?"
On the second picture, there are twenty-one fruits. There is a prophecy: There are so many fruits that it is hard to know their number. One fruit and one kernel means that it is new and that it is old. What this means is that it refers to how many emperors there were in the Tang Dynasty.
.Twenty-one fruits refer to 'plums', that is, how many generations of monarchs can be fed on the big tree of Li Tang.
But Li Mu thought about it and couldn't explain it this way. Not to mention that every picture can be explained very clearly and what kind of chain reaction it will bring. Just talking about this matter itself, which emperor wouldn't want the dynasty he established
Thousands of generations? Now the Tang Dynasty has only passed down one generation. If you tell him that there can only be twenty-one emperors in Li Tang, will Li Shimin be happy?
Come on, let’s just make a joke.
Li Mu cleared his throat and said: "Your Majesty, you see, this is very obvious. The so-called numerous fruits are indescribable, which means that this year's fruit trees will definitely have a bumper harvest. Look at the blue characters.
I can’t give it up. As for the saying “one fruit and one kernel, as old as new”, it’s easy to understand. Of course a fruit has one fruit and one kernel, wouldn’t there be a problem if there are two kernels in one fruit?”
"Then what does it mean to be both old and new?"
"How simple." Li Mu explained: "New means that the fruit is fresh, so naturally it means that the taste of the fruit is still the same as before. New fruit, the old taste, naturally means that it is old as soon as it is new."
"Is that what happened?" Li Shimin looked at Li Mu suspiciously and said, "Why do I feel that something is wrong?"
"That's what happened!" Li Mu said categorically. Seeing that Li Shimin was still doubtful, he said, "That's what I think anyway. When your Majesty asks, I can tell you what I think. Why don't you ask someone else?"
"Look at the next one!"
The third picture shows a woman. Li Mu's pupils shrank and his expression became cautious.
In fact, this was also performed by him. He couldn't be more familiar with the content of this third scene. The sun and moon were in the sky, shining down on the earth, confusing, both literary and military. The prophecy has made it very clear, Wu Zetian was also called Wu Zhao,
This word means the sun and the moon are in the sky. At the same time, the word "empty" has a second interpretation, which is the emptiness of escaping into Buddhism. Wu Zetian was originally Li Shimin's concubine. After Li Shimin's death, she became a nun according to the rules, but she had an early relationship with
Li Zhi hooked up, so she became a nun for a few years and was taken back to the palace. The second half of the sentence quoted an allusion from Mulan's poem. The male rabbit's feet are clumsy and the female rabbit's eyes are blurred. Wu Zetian ascended the throne.
Later, there was an incident involving a hen in the morning. The hen crowed, so it was confusing and the male and female could not be distinguished.
Li Mu didn't know how to explain it.
The second picture refers to the succession of twenty-one emperors, but he didn’t say it out loud. This picture refers to Li Tang’s fall from grace. What did he say? Did you tell Li Shimin that after your death in the future, your son will give you to the emperor?
, and then this woman who followed you and then your son also usurped Li Tang's kingdom, and almost all the descendants of Li Tang were killed by him?
Can Li Shimin believe this when he says it? Don't say he doesn't believe it. Even Li Mu himself feels very ridiculous when he listens to it now, because this is something that has not happened, and there is no sign of it yet.
This picture cannot be explained, and if you look further down, there are things that cannot be explained, so Li Mu simply acted nonsense and started talking nonsense.
"Your majesty, look at this picture. What does a woman mean? Beauty is a disaster! Does your majesty know about the beacon tricking the princes? The emperor of the generation, King Zhou You, lit the beacon for the sake of a beautiful woman with a smile of praise.
Playing tricks on the princes will eventually lead to the destruction of the country. The meaning of this picture is that among the descendants of future generations, there must be heroes who have trouble with beauties. Hidden dangers, hidden dangers!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Li Shimin heard that something was wrong with what he said, and interrupted Li Mu's nonsense. He stood up on his knees, his legs and feet were a little numb, and Eunuch Gao hurried over to help him.
Li Mu's feet were also numb, but no one paid attention to him, so he had to stand up by himself.
"I just don't believe that my descendants will be as unworthy as King You of Zhou. If you don't know how to explain, don't explain it blindly. If you are a senior official, put your things away."
Eunuch Gao responded and asked the two young eunuchs to go over and each of them rolled one end of the scroll and put it away.
Li Shimin returned to the desk and sat down, picked up a pen to write, and soon finished writing. There were only a few words in total. He handed the imperial edict to Yuan Tiangang and said: "This matter was completed well. Qin Tianjian
There are rewards for everyone, especially Li Chunfeng. I want to reward you well. If you say what you want, I will grant it."
Li Chunfeng bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I don't need anything. It's just a small achievement, I dare not mention it in front of Your Majesty..." After a pause, Li Chunfeng said again: "I heard that the Marquis will go to Luoyang soon.
I want to go with the Marquis."
"You want to go to Luoyang?" Li Shimin glanced at Li Chunfeng and said, "What do you want to do in Luoyang?" "Your Majesty, look at this picture. What does a woman mean? Beauty is a disaster!"
Does Your Majesty know about beacon fires to tease the princes? King Zhou You, the emperor of one generation, lit a beacon tower to tease the princes in order to win praise from a beautiful woman, which eventually led to the destruction of the country. The meaning of this picture is that among the descendants of future generations, there must be that hero who is sad
It’s about beauty. Hidden danger, hidden danger!”
"Stop talking nonsense!" Li Shimin heard that something was wrong with what he said, and interrupted Li Mu's nonsense. He stood up on his knees, his legs and feet were a little numb, and Eunuch Gao hurried over to help him.

"You want to go to Luoyang?" Li Shimin glanced at Li Chunfeng and said, "What do you want to do in Luoyang?"
"Your Majesty, I am interested in arithmetic as a child."
