Datang: Dad, I really didn't want to rebel!

Chapter 51
Chapter 65
Li Chunfeng has been very low-key recently. Although he only hosted a ceremony for Li Shimin to sacrifice to heaven on New Year's Eve, this is his duty, and there is no credit at all.

Now Li Chengqian wrote to tell him that you are going to be promoted. Only a fool would believe this kind of nonsense.

The first letter is nonsense, so there is no need to read the second letter.

He returned the goldfish bag to Jiang Qing and wanted to send him away.

But at this moment, an eunuch suddenly ran over, holding a roll of yellow silk cloth in his hand.

"Dr. Li! Dr. Li!"

The eunuch waved his hands all the way, and Li Chunfeng had to stand still and wait.

After a while, the eunuch finally ran over. After taking a rest, he opened the silk cloth and read: "Your Majesty has a decree. Please ask Dr. Taichang Li Chunfeng to take over the decree!"

Li Chunfeng's heart trembled, he arched his hands and respectfully said: "My minister Li Chunfeng, accept the order!"

The eunuch raised his voice and said: "Shang Shu Sheng: Zhi said: Liao Li, the former Taishi Cheng of the Taishi Bureau, accidentally fell into the toilet and drowned when he was drunk the day before yesterday, so he conferred the title of Taishi Cheng, Dr. Taichang Li Chunfeng..."

After the imperial decree was read, Li Chunfeng was still in a daze, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was slightly opened, obviously he hadn't recovered from the shock.

The eunuch frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Tai Shicheng, it's time to accept the order!"

"Ah? Oh!"

Li Chunfeng suppressed the shock in his heart, and took the imperial edict with both hands.

After the eunuch left, he froze for a while, then looked at Jiang Qing and asked, "I don't know what else Duke Qian said?"

Jiang Qing shook his head, "What the young master said is in the letter!"

After speaking, he turned and left without taking a cloud.

Without any hesitation, Li Chunfeng immediately returned to the Taishi Bureau and opened the second letter.

After a cursory glance, he took a deep breath, "In the early spring of 18, there will be floods in Xiangzhou and Jingzhou!"

"Early spring of 18..."

Li Chunfeng hesitated.

It's only the middle of the first lunar month, and it's only a dozen days away from the beginning of spring.

Li Chengqian only wrote about the early spring of 18 years. Since it is the beginning of the year, the time should be between February and March.

Li Chunfeng is very conflicted now, should he trust Li Chengqian?

This kind of thing is really too illusory. As a magician, Li Chunfeng naturally knows that the so-called fortune-telling and fortune-telling are half-truths and half-false.

But in the first letter, it was clearly stated that he would be named Taishicheng in the middle of the first lunar month.

Not long after this letter was delivered, a decree came from the palace, isn't this too coincidental?

Li Chunfeng also knew that it would take half a month at the fastest to travel from Qianzhou to Chang'an, that is to say, half a month ago, Li Chengqian wrote the letter and sent Jiang Qing to Chang'an to deliver the letter.

"Is it really so miraculous?"

Li Chunfeng tapped the table lightly with his fingers, his gaze gradually became firm.

"Okay, Duke Qian, I'll just trust you once!"

Li Chunfeng gritted his teeth, stood up, and went to Taiji Palace.

The Taishi Bureau is not far from the Taiji Palace, so he arrived at the Taiji Palace after a short walk.

Now Li Shimin is going to court, so Li Chunfeng can only wait outside.

The Tang Dynasty stipulated that only officials of the fifth rank and above were eligible to go to court, and Tai Shicheng was only a sixth rank, so naturally he was not eligible to participate in the court meeting.

It just so happened that Changsun Wuji was ordered by Li Shimin to go out to do some errands. Now that he came back to return to his order, he saw Li Chunfeng who was looking anxious.

Although Li Chunfeng is of low rank, as a super magic stick, he is naturally respected by many people.

"Isn't this Taishi Cheng? Did you come to Taiji Hall to find His Majesty?"

Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Li Chunfeng didn't dare to trust him, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "Back to Changsun Situ, I really want to find His Majesty, and it's a very urgent matter!"

"Ok?"

Changsun Wuji frowned slightly, "How about this, the old man will go in and inform you, and see what His Majesty has to say."

Li Chunfeng was overjoyed, "Thank you, grandson Situ!"

Thus, Changsun Wuji entered the Tai Chi Hall from the side door.

The civil and military officials had finished talking about the government affairs, and when Li Shimin was about to leave the court, Changsun Wuji suddenly stood up.

"Your Majesty, I just ran into Taishi Cheng Li Chunfeng outside the gate of the Taiji Hall, and he said that he has something urgent to see you." Changsun Wuji said.

"Li Chunfeng?"

Li Shimin was a little surprised, "What is he looking for?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, I don't know."

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, "Then let him in."

Wang De, who was standing next to him, shook the dust in his hand and said loudly: "Xuan Taishi Cheng Li Chunfeng has an audience!"

Li Chunfeng who was waiting anxiously outside heard the words, immediately adjusted his clothes, and then stepped into the Tai Chi Hall.

At this moment, Li Shimin was wearing a uniform and sitting high on the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty Li Chunfeng, I have met Your Majesty!" Li Chunfeng bowed and saluted.

The Tang Dynasty was not fond of kowtowing and saluting, only on major festivals, it would be a symbolic prostration, and usually when meeting the emperor in court, you only need to bow and salute.

"Li Aiqing is free!" Li Shimin said, "I don't know what is urgent about Li Aiqing?"

Li Chunfeng said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I watched the sky last night and found that the stars in the south were dim. I may have changed my mind."

"So this morning, I used the armillary sphere to do some calculations, and found that Shannan Road, Xiangzhou, Jingzhou and other places will experience major floods in the early spring of this year!"

"A major flood?"

Li Shimin and all civil and military officials were stunned for a moment, then Li Shimin frowned and said, "Li Aiqing, are you serious?"

Li Chunfeng smiled wryly in his heart, how could he know, he could only hope that Duke Qian didn't fool him.

Li Chunfeng was a little nervous in his heart, but his face remained calm, "Return to Your Majesty, I am absolutely correct in my calculations, and the hexagrams of the armillary sphere indeed show so."

The armillary sphere is Li Chunfeng's proud work, and it is also a witness of the development of Datang science and technology.

After that, whenever the Li Tang royal family needed any auspicious days, they would let Li Chunfeng use the armillary sphere to calculate them.

Although they don't understand the function of the armillary sphere, but just for such a cool name, it makes people feel unclear.

"... "

Li Shimin was silent for a while. Both Xiangzhou and Jingzhou are important cities in the south, with a population of over [-]. If there is a flood there, the consequences will be unimaginable.

But he couldn't make up his mind about such a mysterious matter, so he could only focus on the civil and military officials, "My loves, what do you think?"

Changsun Wuji stood up and said, "Return to Your Majesty, the governor of Xiangzhou handed over a memorial a few years ago, saying that it rained heavily in Xiangzhou for five consecutive days, but it was still under control..."

"So, is there a hidden danger?"

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and then said: "Let's do this. The Ministry of Household Affairs will send people to the ten states and ask the governors of the ten states to transfer people and food in advance."

"Your Majesty, this matter is yet to be discussed..."

At this time, Fang Xuanling, who was also the prime minister, stood up and said: "Transferring people and food from ten prefectures is no small matter. It involves hundreds of thousands of people. If there is no such thing, wouldn't it be a waste of money and people?"

"This…"

The ministers began to discuss, because what Fang Xuanling said was right, it would cost a lot of money to transfer the people and food from the ten states.

If there was a flood, it would be worth it, but if not...then the court would have made a big joke.

After decades of hard work, the imperial court finally brought the people of the world back to their hearts. It would be a great loss if the imperial court's decades of efforts were wiped out because of a so-called prophecy.

At this moment, Shen Guogong Gao Shilian also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that it is not unbelievable, but we can tell the people about this matter in another way."
