In the Hall of Taiji, Wu Congzhao, the priest of Qin Tianjian Zhengqing, came out to play a watch, saying that the five stars in the sky last night went wrong, the hexagrams have tremors, and the earth must shake, Huailuan is the most important.
The changes in natural disasters were unusual, and the officials discussed in an uproar. Ye Tianling felt a little surprised when he saw that Qing Chen did not accompany the Emperor of Heaven in the early court. While thinking about it, the regular attendant in front of the palace reported from the outside, and Princess Qingping returned to Beijing to return the order, and asked to see him outside the palace.
"Oh?" The Heavenly Emperor hurriedly said, "Xuan!"
In the faint morning light, Qing Chen stepped into the Tai Chi Hall with a step, and his white clothes fluttered behind him, casting an elegant arc behind him, with a sassy air all over his body, clean and dignified.
After taking a detour and inspecting the Qiujiang River, he rushed back to Tiandu from Huailuan all night, and entered the palace to face the saint. Qing Chen hid all his worries all the way in the slightly clear eyes of the phoenix, and calmly kowtowed: "Qi Zuo Your Majesty , Qing Chen was ordered to go to Huailuan to inspect, the Catalpa and Xingjiang rivers had waves for no reason, the climate in Huailuan was abnormal, the water in the lake well was boiling, the insects, ants, snakes and rats were restless, and there were obvious earthquake lights in the sky, all these were earthquakes It's a sign, I hope the emperor will issue an order quickly, ordering the people of Huailuan and its neighboring counties to avoid the disaster."
Immediately, a minister retorted: "Qizuo Emperor, natural disasters and misfortunes are a sign of government failure, and the astronomical phenomena are warning signs. Now that the world is bathing in the heavens and holy marshes, it is peaceful and happy. How can there be such warning disasters? Qingping Princess said I can't agree with you." As soon as this remark came out, most of the ministers agreed. Since ancient times, it has been known that the earthquake is "the dragon king is angry, and the tortoise turns over." .
Ye Tianling frowned, Mutian Shengze, peace and happiness, now officials only say such auspicious words.
Qing Chen listened quietly to the minister's refutation, and continued to play: "The disaster of the earthquake is caused by the compression and collision of the central plate, and the deformation and rupture of the rock under force. There is a law for change and rate, and it is not enough to be afraid of, but it can also be predicted and prevented. If you know it and don’t avoid it, if you don’t save it, you will lose morality and government, and it is not a blessing for the people.”
The Emperor of Heaven pondered, and many stubborn veterans insisted on their own views. Qing Chen didn't want to get entangled with them, there was no imperial decree, even if Huailuan could barely avoid it with Yue Qingyun's efforts, Yue Qingyun would be implicated in the investigation afterwards, not to mention that there was more than one Huailuan city on the line between Catalpa and Yingjiang. A big earthquake, the consequences are worrying. Thinking of this, he secretly hated that his knowledge was limited, and he could not be precise and meticulous in foreseeing the superficial, so he said decisively: "Feng Qingchen is willing to use his wealth and life to set up a life and death certificate, and seek the order to avoid disaster!"
Ye Tianling didn't move his eyebrows, but he glanced at Chu Yuanjing and the others. Chu Yuanjing immediately understood, and went out to play: "Qi Zou the emperor, I think what Qingping Princess said is true, the world has its own way, the princess He once helped the people of Pingli to escape from the plague, which has proved that natural disasters can be avoided, and manpower can overcome the sky. Earthquake disasters are extremely destructive, and it is better to believe that there is something, not that there is nothing."
After Chu Yuanjing finished playing, He Jingzhi, Minister of the Ministry of War, Zhang Qi, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, General Feng Si, and several other important ministers in the court all supported him. Ye Tianhao also said: "I checked the historical records of the dynasties, and there were strange omens about the disasters before, which is quite consistent with what Qingping Princess said. The opportunity before the disaster is precious, please make a quick decision."
The Emperor of Heaven looked at Qing Chen, and saw that her expression was extremely determined, and the indifferent confidence in her eyes made people feel unquestionable. He said to the chief minister who had not said a word: "Can the two prime ministers have a memorial?"
Wei Zongping said: "I think this matter is absurd, and it needs to be discussed." Feng Yan's eyes flashed, and he said: "I think that faith is harmless, if there is an earthquake, it will avoid disaster." The two confronted each other tit for tat , It's just like this.
Years ago when Pingli was plagued by a plague, Qing Chen saw that she was uniquely able to turn the tide, but the Emperor of Heaven trusted her ability quite a bit. After thinking for a moment, he ordered in a deep voice to the officer in front of the palace: "Just follow the order of Princess Qingping to avoid the disaster."
Qing Chen was slightly happy, and took out a white note: "There are some ways to avoid disasters here, please spread them according to the order." The Emperor of Heaven nodded, and said: "Everyone will follow me to set up Qi Tiantai, if the ground really moves, I will definitely reward you for your merits, if not..." Glancing at Qing Chen, he got up.
Qing Chen followed a few steps behind, and saw Ye Tianling cast a deep gaze as if unintentionally, the starlight in his eyes glancing slightly, enveloping his heart very softly. Knowing that he was worried about her, she looked at him for a moment, Qingming smiled slightly, passed by, and drove to Qi Tiantai.
After noon, Wu Congzhao looked at the imagery in all directions, corresponding to the water pattern in the northwest, which was still trembling. The bright sun reflected in the sky through the clear water on the gold and copper bottom, shining bright colorful light. Above, a lifelike golden dragon with a copper bead in its mouth remained motionless and made no sound.
The celestial pearl fell into the water, the earth trembled and the mountains shook. Now the imperial decree to relocate people to avoid disasters should have arrived in Huailuan and Zhou County. I don't know if there was an earthquake or not.
Natural disasters and earthquakes have never been presented to the court with such great fanfare before. Qin Tianjian made hexagrams and prophecies for the Tian family, and drew astrology maps to measure geography. Also dare not speak rashly.
The tall, wide and flat Qi Tiantai is full of civil and military officials, and the Emperor of Heaven sits under the yellow dragon umbrella covered by the Huayu Baogai, squinting at the imagery in all directions.
The momentum is extremely heavy, there were whispers of discussion before, but now the silence is a bit compelling. The Emperor of Heaven seemed to be doing this intentionally. Qin Tianjian had a detached position in the court, and he was afraid that it would be conspicuous and taboo. If there was a mistake, it would be difficult in the future. As for Princess Qingping, she dared to put up a life and death certificate in the court hall, what an unusual woman!
Thinking of this, Wu Congzhao couldn't help but glance at Qing Chen, only to see her standing still and looking out, her flowing white shirt fluttering in the wind, her appearance was very proud, but there was an air of aura all over her body. Calm, it seems that the quiet and calm demeanor has penetrated deep into the bones, and the Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, unable to move a bit. Those deep and clear phoenix eyes are now slightly filled with worry, looking at the sky, this concern is drawn to Huailuan City, which is invisible from the other side of the gaze, and then he is worried. Wu Congzhao nodded secretly, and the water in the all-round imagery flashed, covering the underlying expressions in his eyes.
After a long time, all the ministers were a little impatient. Ye Tianling stood beside King Ji, a layer of dazzling sunlight fell on the black Dagon Dragon court uniform, which made the figure look a bit clearer. Standing with hands behind their backs, calmly looking at the nine-day universe instrument used for stargazing and calendaring on the height of Qitiantai. The endless starry sky.
The Heavenly Emperor's eyes were as deep as the vast sea, not revealing anything, and he looked at his sons slightly with sharp eyes. A few years have passed and I have been able to be independent, but everyone has lived up to expectations and has achieved great achievements. I think they are just a little bit like when they were children, and time makes people grow old. Leaning back lightly, the back of the Diaolong Golden Chair hurts, this seat is not easy to sit on, it is really old.
The sun is slanting slightly, and the earth is safe. The silence in the four directions slowly raised some waves, and the officials gradually became dissatisfied, and they continued to speak and discuss.
Wu Congzhao's first disciple, Qin Tianjian Shaoqing Fu Qianfei looked at Qing Chen, and suddenly said lukewarmly: "The day is coming to an end, it seems that this earthquake is purely false. The princess doesn't want to think about himself How do you explain it?" Although the voice was small, the people nearby could hear it clearly, the corner of Ye Tianling's mouth turned cold, and a sharp and cold light flashed imperceptibly in the depths of his eyes.
Fu Qianfei has always only worshiped witchcraft and divination, and has long been dissatisfied with Qing Chen's research. Qing Chen knew that she was hostile, and now that something was wrong, she didn't look back at the distance because of this, her phoenix eyes slightly lowered, and said lightly: "It would be reassuring if there is nothing, it's just me, Feng Qingchen. Just being punished, there will be one less calamity in the Huailuan land, and I don't know how many people survived." The gentle voice was slightly solemn, which made Fu Qianfei's heart stagnate, feeling speechless. The ministers around couldn't help but nodded slightly when they heard it. If you talk about this kind of demeanor, you can't learn it.
Fu Qianfei snorted coldly, but as if responding to her uncomfortable snort, the pearls in the arms of a golden dragon in all directions suddenly "dang" fell into the clear water below, splashing and splashing , splashing all around.
At the same time, everyone felt a sudden shock under their feet, as if the entire Qi Tiantai had moved a little, and then calmed down again in an instant, making people almost think it was an illusion.
The guards beside him hurriedly escorted him, but the Emperor of Heaven was calm, raised his hand and shouted: "What are you panicking about!" He just looked at the imagery in all directions.
The eyes of all the ministers were focused here, Ye Tianling looked at Qing Chen deeply, his heart relaxed, and there was only a trace of pity for no reason.
Qing Chen's secluded gaze was reflected in the water patterns that shook the Bafang Earth's image a few times, facing the Emperor of Heaven, and quietly bent down: "The earth is shaking, please the emperor have mercy on the victims and give relief quickly."
