After all, even if he is an emperor, it is not common for him to be able to enshrine Zen on Mount Tai.
On top of today's morning.
Hardly a big deal.
Li Shimin explained that after listening to the reports from Fang Xuanling and many departments, he planned to disperse the court.
And above this hall, in the hearts of Li Chengqian, Gao Shilian, Hou Junji and others.
The blood flow has already started to accelerate, and he tried his best to control his composure.
I only hope that Li Shimin announces his retirement as soon as possible.
Their big plan is about to be implemented smoothly.
Not only them, but other ordinary courtiers and officials.
Most of them also have a similar feeling that they are looking forward to the emperor's trip, and they can take the opportunity to relax for a while.
As for Li Qiu, there was nothing unusual.
The advantage of following Mount Tai is that you don’t have to go to court every morning.
But that would mean staying away from his family, especially Wu Jue who was pregnant, and he was always a little worried.
Just when everyone was expecting Li Shimin on the dragon chair to say those few words.
Suddenly, in the last row of the courtiers, a figure in a scarlet robe came out quietly.
He said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have a book to play!"
Following his voice, the eyes of Li Shimin and many people in the hall gathered away.
At this critical moment, the person who said this was none other than Yuan Tiangang of Qin Tianjian.
Seeing him, everyone present, especially Prince Li Chengqian and others frowned.
I don't understand what kind of nonsense this old man with all white hair and beard is doing soy sauce and dawdling around at a time like this? !
At the beginning, Yuan Tiangang was invited into the imperial court by Li Shimin, and it has been several years since then.
But from the first day he came to court, Yuan Tiangang seemed to have disappeared.
There is almost no sense of presence.
It's more like a relationship household in the imperial court who relies on connections, eats free food, and receives salary.
But today, at such a critical moment, why did he stand up?
But regarding Yuan Tiangang, Li Qiu's eyes flashed with curiosity.
Thinking about what good things he can do.
But at this moment, in this Tai Chi Hall, a trace of seriousness and solemnity flashed across Li Shimin's eyebrows.
Like others, they may not think that Yuan Tiangang is anything special.
But Li Shimin knew Yuan Tiangang's name well from Wang Gui and Wei Ting.
Moreover, when Xianling was keeping his filial piety for the Supreme Emperor, he also personally experienced Yuan Tiangang's ability.
At that time, Yuan Tiangang wrote a letter to himself, saying that there will be natural disasters coming soon, and disasters will also form in the court.
At first, Li Shimin didn't take it seriously.
But within two months, it rained heavily, and the whole Tang Dynasty suffered from floods.
Luoyang, Weishui, and Jingxiang are even more serious.
And above the court, the prince did cause a series of big troubles.
The dispute with Li Qiu and Furongyuan also escalated visibly.
If Li Shimin hadn't returned in time, what kind of chaos might have occurred.
Ever since, Li Shimin looked directly in Yuan Tiangang's direction, and asked more gently: "Yuan Tiangang, what do you want to play?"
At this time, Yuan Tiangang held the rebel board, bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty."
"On the day of Jiyou, I watched the stars at night, and there was a sign of a star in Taiwei and a white rainbow penetrating the sun."
"This white rainbow is like a blade, and it is a sign of disaster."
"Your Majesty's trip to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen may be accompanied by threats."
"My old minister, please think twice, Your Majesty, and cancel this trip to Fengchan."
Hearing Yuan Tiangang's words, all the officials in the court could not help but gasp.
I thought that this Yuan Tiangang was really daring.
In the current situation, His Majesty is determined to go to Taishan to enshrine Zen, and it is time to travel.
He actually said such nonsense.
Isn't this just pouring cold water on His Majesty's head? !
With His Majesty's temper, how can he spare you? !
But at this moment, Prince Li Chengqian was already extremely nervous.
It was almost because of what Yuan Tiangang did.
He turned around immediately, pointed at Yuan Tiangang in a slightly exaggerated and abnormal posture, and spoke very quickly.
Quite excitedly asked: "Yuan Tiangang!"
"As an official of the Qin Tianjian, you dare to deceive the people with your demonic words in front of the civil and military officials in this Taiji hall."
"Preventing my father's trip to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen, ruining my great plan for the millennium of the Tang Dynasty."
"What is your intention?!"
"What's your intention?!"
Regarding Prince Li Chengqian's performance, Yuan Tiangang nodded slightly.
He said unhurriedly: "Reporting to His Royal Highness, since I received His Majesty's great grace, I came to Qin Tianjian."
"We must abide by our responsibilities."
"Heaven has a vision, so we must report it truthfully."
"I'm just a Taoist, and at this age, what other thoughts can I have?"
"If Your Majesty and Your Highness feel that the minister's rumors are deceiving the public, the minister is willing to accept severe punishment."
"And resign from the position of Qin Tianjian."
At this moment, Li Qiu also stood up, bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty."
"Before the attack at Chen Furong Garden at night, Yuan Tiangang was watching the stars at night and giving a timely warning."
"This is how I avoided greater losses in the Furong Garden."
"Your Majesty, as well as Dali Temple and many people in the Ministry of Punishment must have heard of this incident."
"So I feel that there is nothing wrong with being careful, and His Majesty should consider Qin Tianjian's suggestion."
"At the same time, I also feel that you are too excited and nervous, Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Yuan Tiangang just said that he doesn't recommend continuing to act on Mount Tai's enshrining of Zen."
"You can wait for two months, or you can wait until autumn."
"He is an old Taoist priest, but he was forcibly taken to Qin Tianjian by the minister and His Majesty."
"How can there be any evil words to confuse the hearts of the people?"
Chapter 1012
In Li Qiu's heart, this Yuan Tiangang is from his Furong Garden.
At this time, it is natural to stand up and speak for him, and resist the firepower from the prince.
Sure enough, seeing Li Qiu's blatant rebuttal and questioning himself at this time, Li Chengqian, who was also an enemy, was extremely jealous.
Immediately, he turned to Li Qiu furiously, "You!"
In fact, since Yuan Tiangang uttered those words at the very beginning, Prince Li Chengqian has already acted obviously excessively.
Now being stimulated by Li Qiuyi again, it seems even more out of line.
It is more and more inconsistent with his usual personality and consistent behavior style.
If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that the grand plan of the East Palace will be ruined by Li Chengqian himself before he can do it.
So at this moment, Hou Junji was secretly anxious, feeling a little regretful.
This Li Chengqian is far behind his old man before the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
Did I make a desperate bet this time, did I make a mistake?
Fortunately, at this time, Prime Minister Gao Shilian stepped forward in time.
Stopped the prince who was about to reprimand Li Qiu in a fit of anger.
"Your Highness, please calm down."
"About this matter of enshrining Zen, and how important it is to Your Majesty and to my Great Tang."
"Presumably the King of Peiping, who was born in the market, is not very clear about this royal matter."
"It's still Yuchen, let's answer them first."
Hearing Gao Shilian's words, Li Chengqian woke up instantly.
Just now, he himself was too nervous, caring would cause chaos, and he was obviously overly aggressive.
So without the slightest hesitation, he also took advantage of the steps Gao Shilian built to retreat to the second line.
At this time, Gao Shilian also faced Li Qiu very calmly.
"King of Beiping, the enshrining of Zen on Mount Tai has been an important ceremony in ancient times since Qin Shihuang."
"Those who enshrine Zen will increase their height; the foundation of Liang's father who descends to Zen will be broad and thick."
"The sky respects height, and the earth regards thickness as virtue. Therefore, increasing the height of Mount Tai is to repay the sky, and attaching Liangfu's site is to repay the earth."
"Tomorrow and the earth's destiny, success will be accomplished, and it will benefit the world. If it is taller, it will be taller, and if it is thicker, it will be thicker."
"Your Majesty's achievements today are already higher than that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."
"This Fengchan, whether it is for His Majesty, or even for my Tang Dynasty's luck, is the most important thing."
"His Royal Highness, and even filial people, naturally don't want to see someone gossip to confuse the public, relying on a few lies without any basis, and hinder His Majesty's great event of enshrining Mount Tai."
"Besides, right now my Great Tang Dynasty is settled, the world is peaceful, and the whole world is swept away. Your Majesty's trip to Mount Tai, where is there any threat to talk about?!"
"As the supervisor of the Qin Tianjian, he speaks nonsense on such important family and country matters, deceiving people's hearts, and preventing His Majesty from enshrining Zen."
"Could it be that His Royal Highness reprimanded him for something wrong?"
At this moment, Ma Zhou also came out for the first time, bowed and saluted and said, "Lord Gao, this Qin Tianjian is in charge of the ephemeris and the responsibility of promulgating the calendar."
"It is Yuan Tiangang's responsibility to observe the astrology abnormally and report it in time."
"How did it become what the adults say is lying and lying, bewitching the public?"
Seeing Ma Zhou standing up to help, many important officials belonging to the Eastern Palace were also eager to try.
Seeing that a chaotic battle in the court was about to be triggered, Li Shimin, who had been sitting on the head frowning, knocked on the dragon case heavily.
It wasn't until this moment that all the people in the court returned to their positions in an instant and became quiet again.
At this time, Li Shimin also sighed softly.
Looking at the crowd below, he asked, "What do you all think about Feng Chan and his party?"
As soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, Wei Zheng was the first to stand up.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, since even Qin Tianjian has detected the phenomenon."
"I also feel that this is not the time to enshrine Zen."
"Now, it's spring plowing time."
