Chapter 383 The Fish Takes the Bait (Part [-])
Wu Banxian secretly sighed, regardless of the common people in the world, the emperor is really rare.

If it weren't for the amulet of the queen's danger, I wouldn't be dead by now.

The hateful King Jin always arranges such terrible errands for him!If you want him to die quickly, wouldn't it be more efficient to just stab him with a knife?
He said, "Your majesty doesn't want to know what the punishment from heaven is? Will the common people in the Southwest be safe?"

Emperor Qingming also noticed his gaffe, and said solemnly, "Tell me, what is the punishment from heaven?"

Wu Banxian picked up the copper coin and stood up, "Last August [-]th, there was a big earthquake in Yuming Mansion, the emperor still remembers it?"

Of course he remembered.

That earthquake was the biggest earthquake in Dazhou in the past hundred years. Fortunately, the Weixing Escort was alerted in advance. Even though hundreds of people were killed and injured, it was already lucky.

If you calculate it carefully, it has something to do with Han Youning.If the Weixing Escort was not there to escort her, it would not have passed through Yuming Mansion, and there would not have been that reminder.Then, the consequences are disastrous, and thousands of casualties are also possible.

But if this is God's punishment, he denies it.

Emperor Qingming said coldly, "What's the difference between forcing this kind of natural disaster on me at will, and the absurd remonstrance that I will write an edict to punish myself due to the severe drought?"

Wu Banxian said: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, just wait for the second time."

Emperor Qingming frowned, "Is there a second time? When will it be possible to avoid it?"

Wu Banxian frowned tightly, muttering something in his mouth, and paced back and forth in the huge imperial study with his hands behind his back.

Emperor Qingming debated and listened carefully.

"People in the world are already suffering, so what does it matter to me?" "What should I do if such a big secret is revealed and I am struck by lightning?" !"

"This emperor looks like he's killing a donkey, not to mention he's dead, he's dead if he says it, whether it's divine punishment or man-made, in short, he won't survive!"

"You shouldn't be reluctant to part with that one tael of silver, you should tell yourself a divination!"

Wu Banxian was spinning around in the hall.

Emperor Qingming said coldly, "I heard everything."

Wu Banxian stopped in his tracks and looked at him sadly, "You can hear me so quietly?"

Emperor Qingming suppressed his impatience, "You guessed it right, if you don't say it now, you will definitely not be able to leave the imperial study alive. But if you have a way to crack it, you may save your life."

There is no need for him to hide his thoughts about Taoist priests who are calculating everything, since this person can figure it out anyway.

Naturally, such a person can't stay in Qin Tianjian, he didn't even dare to let Wu Banxian fight Qin Tianjian to confirm his identity.

Wu Banxian had an expression of "I believe you a ghost".

After a while, he sighed deeply, seeing death as home, and said, "On the second day of February, when the dragon raised its head, there was a big earthquake in Yuming Mansion, landslides and ground cracks, torrential rains, and river water flooded the towns along the river, and people were devastated. I don’t understand why Heaven’s Punishment is always in the Kun position..."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Banxian's throat rolled, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. He swayed and knelt down on one knee.

His face was pale, "It's over, leak the secret, and the heavens will warn you."

Emperor Qingming's expression was serious, "Half a month left? Could it be stopped?"

Wu Banxian raised his sleeve and wiped the blood from his mouth, then shook his head slowly, "The time is too close, it's too late. For such a great punishment from heaven, we have to sacrifice to heaven and do a full seventy-nine days of dojo before we can do it." Get rid of it."

Emperor Qingming looked solemn, pacing back and forth in the hall.

I am afraid that he can't help but believe that it can be verified soon on a certain day.He didn't dare to risk disbelief.

There were two consecutive big earthquakes in the same place. Even if Wu Banxian didn't say anything about heaven and people's grievances, rumors would spread among the people, and civil servants would also come to admonish him and condemn him.

Since it cannot be stopped, now that a certain date is known, the people can only be evacuated in advance to minimize losses.

The common people who escaped from death like this can not say that they can still be grateful to the court for their kindness afterwards, which can also be regarded as offsetting the bad influence of some catastrophes on the emperor's conduct.

He stood still and asked, "After you do the sacrifice to the heavens, will the subsequent disasters, including those of the queen, be resolved?"

Wu Banxian sat down on the ground, and his words were obviously a little weak, "It will take time for the poor Taoist to recover his Taoism, and then he will do a good fortune-telling. From then on, every divination will come back to the poor Taoist, and the poor Taoist may die soon."

After finishing speaking, he weakly supported the ground with his hand, as if he couldn't hold it anymore.

The fish are hooked!

At the same time, I was slandering in my heart, King Jin, I must let someone finish the sentence at once, for fear that the emperor would become suspicious.Pity him, he can only stay in this dragon's pond and tiger's lair, and his life is in danger at any time!
Emperor Qingming's eyes were unfathomable, he paced back and forth for a long time thinking, then called Wu Jian in, and asked him to send Wu Banxian back to the side hall to rest.He also ordered the imperial physician to come to treat him, and the inside and outside of the side hall were even guarded by guards.

After arranging these things, Emperor Qingming asked Qin Tian to monitor and calculate that there might be a catastrophe in the southwest.

The supervisor and the supervisor of the Qin Tianjian have been trembling for the past few days, fearing not that the black hat will be lost, but that their lives will be lost.

After receiving the decree, they took Qin Tianjian up and down overnight to watch the stars and check the classics.

But how can disasters be calculated by looking at the astrology?
After staying up all night for two nights, they judged the situation and deduced the holy will, then entered the palace together with Wu Banxian, and reported to the emperor—there was a misfortune in the southwest, but their ability was shallow and they couldn't see clearly what the misfortune was.

Emperor Qingming sneered, rewarded each of Qin Tianjian [-] boards, and fined them for two years.

As for why no one was executed, he was subconsciously reducing the number of killings, so as not to arouse the wrath of the sky.

The words and deeds of the people in the Qin Tianjian these two days were all under his nose, what they said and who they met, he was very clear.

He originally thought that if Wu Banxian was instigated by someone, someone might send a message to Qin Tianjian to let them cooperate with Wu Banxian's hexagram.

In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Qingming used the pretext of the previous emperor Tuomeng warning to lead to the earthquake in Yuming Mansion on February [-].

The ruling and opposition parties were in an uproar.

No one would dare not believe such a big event.It also involves the late emperor, and no one dares to question it.

The imperial court quickly dispatched troops to the Yuming Mansion and the villages and towns along the Anjiang River, and ordered the local government to force the people to evacuate.

Zhao Chen's face was gloomy, as if the earthquake and hurricane had already reached his eyes.

After the morning court, he went to Dali Temple first, and in the evening, he took two jars of wine to Jinwang Mansion.

After entering the mansion, he was received by Shi Chenghan, the head of the palace.

Cheng Han said with a smile, "His Royal Highness, wait a moment, the prince is teaching the princess how to ride a horse, and I will send someone to report."

Zhao Chen pursed his lips, "No need, just go and find the emperor's uncle alone."

With that said, he lifted his robe and headed towards the Wangfu Racecourse.

The racecourse is located on Wangfu West Road, covering a vast area. After passing the Moon Gate, you can hear cheerful laughter accompanied by the sound of horseshoes floating all the way.

 It's a little earlier today.
