Li Jin looked at the crowd and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, before I entered the palace just now, I heard many people say on the street"
"What are you talking about? Say it quickly!" Emperor Hongyuan said in a dark voice.
Li Jin paused suddenly, and said: "If the emperor does not punish the crime of the minister, the minister will dare to speak."
When Emperor Hongyuan heard this, he immediately knew that there must be nothing good to say.
But he was still very curious, and he said with a sullen face: "Okay, tell me, as long as you don't make up things, I don't blame you."
Only then did Li Jin summon up his courage, and said: "Your Majesty, the people on the street said that the reason why the imperial mausoleum was flooded was because the Emperor refused to allocate funds for disaster relief, and God gave you a warning and punishment."
"What?" Emperor Hongyuan froze, his eyes frightened.
Li Jin continued: "The common people also said that this is the retribution of the emperor's unkindness. If the emperor continues to waste people and waste money and build a mausoleum, the emperor may be punished by heaven and there will be a bloody disaster."
"Presumptuous! How dare these troublemakers say such things about me, they are so brave!" Emperor Hongyuan gritted his teeth angrily, trembling all over.
Li Jin hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I also feel that this is the nonsense of the people. But this spring will not be dug sooner or later, but it was dug recently. Is this really a warning from heaven?"
Li Huai also said: "That's right, I have been in charge of building the mausoleum for so many years, including the mausoleum of the late emperor, and I have never encountered such a strange thing. This time is really strange, does God really have any ominous omens? "
At this moment, Prince Rui stood up and said in a deep voice: "You two adults have read a lot of poetry and books and are well-informed. Do you believe those nonsense? This king feels that this incident is just a coincidence and has nothing to do with the emperor."
As he said, he looked at Chu Xuanchen, "There must be some people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, so as to incite the people and damage the emperor's reputation."
Emperor Hongyuan rolled his eyes coldly, and looked at everyone suspiciously.
Chu Xuanchen walked up to Prince Rui, and said: "Prince Rui, the Heavenly Supervisor Qin knows astronomy above, and geography below, so he can watch the sky at night and make fortune-telling. You can ask Qin Tianjian to figure out what's going on. "
Prince Rui lowered his eyes, and said: "Okay, it's okay to ask Qin Tianjian, see what Qin Tianjian has to say."
Everyone trusted Qin Tianjian, so Prince Rui agreed.
Emperor Hongyuan nodded quickly, "Okay, come on, go and call Qin Tianjian."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Someone said-
After a while, Zhao Zhenglian, the supervisor of Qin Tianjian, and several subordinate officials came to the imperial study anxiously.
After they walked in, they hurriedly saluted Emperor Hongyuan, "See the emperor."
"Excuse me. Zhao Zhenglian, you came at the right time. What do you think about the flooding of the imperial tomb?" Emperor Hongyuan said coldly.
Zhao Zhenglian glanced at Chu Xuanchen quickly, and then said: "Your Majesty, I watched the sky last night and found that the Ziwei star moved westward and was very faint. I didn't expect that I heard the news that the imperial tomb was flooded early this morning. Both of them appear at the same time, indicating that there is an ominous sign."
Hearing this, Emperor Hongyuan froze.
He is most superstitious.
Ziwei star is the emperor star, which represents the emperor, and Ziwei star is weak. Doesn't it indicate that the emperor's life is weak?
Coupled with the fact that the imperial mausoleum was flooded, the combination of the two, is it true that he will be in a catastrophe, a disaster of blood and light?
Is it true that, as the common people said, it is because he is not benevolent that God has such a foreshadowing?
He nervously said: "Ominous sign? In your opinion, how should it be resolved?"
Zhao Zhenglian lowered his eyes, and after thinking for a while, he said, "The imperial mausoleum is flooded and the Ziwei star is weak. These are not trivial matters, and we must pay attention to them. Your Majesty, maybe this is a warning from the heavens. I think that if we want to resolve this matter First, the construction of the imperial mausoleum and some civil engineering-related fortifications should be suspended; secondly, the emperor should follow God's will and open warehouses for disaster relief, perhaps only in this way can the crisis be resolved."
"Even you say that?" Emperor Hongyuan rolled his eyes.
Zhao Zhenglian cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is also speaking of obeying the destiny, please the emperor obey the destiny for himself."
"Then I don't build it at the original site, but is it feasible to build a new mausoleum at another site?" Emperor Hongyuan still didn't want to give up, and he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart, although he had a premonition that this hope was very slim.
Zhao Zhenglian said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the imperial mausoleum in the western suburbs was flooded. This is a warning from the heavens. If the emperor still wants to re-select the site and build another one, it is forcibly violating the destiny. Violating the law of heaven, I am afraid there will be more Terrible things have happened, please let the emperor follow the will of heaven and temporarily suspend the construction of all mausoleums, and we will talk about it later."
Emperor Hongyuan glanced at Zhao Zhenglian, then lowered his eyes secretly.
Zhao Zhenglian's words are so terrible, it seems that the imperial mausoleum cannot be repaired, otherwise he will really be punished by heaven.
He thought for a while, and had to compromise: "Okay, then pass down the order to suspend the construction of the imperial tomb, and we can talk about it after a while."
"Then your majesty, do you still want to repair Dong Guiren's new palace?" Li Huai asked.
Emperor Hongyuan waved his hand coldly, "What do you think?"
Li Huai was taken aback for a moment, he was not sure what Emperor Hongyuan meant.
Seeing this, Chu Xuanchen said calmly: "Lord Li, even the construction of the imperial tomb will be stopped, let alone Dong Guiren's bedroom?"
Li Huai understood now.
Even the emperor can't build the imperial mausoleum, let alone Dong Guiren.
It is impossible for a little Dong Guiren to surpass the emperor.
He immediately said: "Yes, I know! In this case, I immediately asked the workers to stop working and wait for the emperor's news."
At this time, Li Jin said: "Your Majesty, since you have decided to temporarily repair the imperial mausoleum, can the extra money be used for disaster relief?"
When Emperor Hongyuan thought of what those common people had scolded him, he had a dark expression on his face.
These people scolded him so much that he didn't want to help them.
He said in a deep voice: "I feel a little uncomfortable now, I will talk about the disaster relief later, you all stand down!"
The implication is that even if he does not build the imperial mausoleum, he will not use the money for disaster relief.
Li Jin gave Emperor Hongyuan a disappointed look, and had to retreat silently.
Then, Chu Xuanchen, Zhao Zhenglian and others also retreated.
When Chu Xuanchen came to a corner where no one was around, Zhao Zhenglian looked around, and after finding no one, he quickly walked over and said, "My lord, I have tried my best, but the emperor still refuses to allocate funds for disaster relief. I can't do anything about it, I'm really sorry."
Chu Xuanchen looked at Zhao Zhenglian, and said seriously: "Your Excellency, you don't need to blame yourself. You are willing to stand up and persuade the emperor to prevent the emperor from building a new tomb. You have already helped the people. This king should thank you for the people."
Prior to this, Chu Xuanchen had no intersection with Zhao Zhenglian, and he only got to know Zhao Zhenglian after being introduced by Li Jin.
Knowing the importance of Qin Tianjian, he told Zhao Zhenglian the disadvantages of wantonly building luxurious imperial tombs, and talked about the plight of the people.
Zhao Zhenglian was also a man of insight. He knew that the common people were living in dire straits, so he agreed to advise the emperor with Chu Xuanchen. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
