Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 516 New Almanac!
The eunuchs brought a box of books from the Chongwen Museum. Li Fuguo opened the box, and there were three words "Da Yanli" written on the yellowed books inside.

Shang Bo and Wei Yuan looked at these ancient books, and it turned out that this is the Dayan Calendar compiled by the monks and his party back then.

The Dayan Calendar counted the entire 98-year calendar. Although it is not so accurate now, it is only a deviation, not completely wrong.

As the most important almanac of the court, "Da Yan Li" has naturally been kept in the court.

Promulgated to the local government and the people, it is a book of integrity to guide agricultural production, and the most important chapter on astrology is locked in the treasure house of the Chongwen Museum.

Fortunately, An Lushan was uneducated. After occupying Chang'an, he did not search for the Dayan calendar at all, and let the Dayan calendar be kept in the corner of the library until the Tang army recovered Chang'an.

Li Fuguo spread out the Dayan calendar and began to check it with the calendar presented by Wei Yuan.

The more he checked, the more surprised Li Fuguo looked.

The solar terms of the [-] Year are worthy.

The abnormal astrology in the year of [-] is also in line.

The next year's solar term is worthy.

The abnormal astrology of the next year is also in line.

After reading it for ten years in a row, the new almanac presented by the King of Yue is almost the same as the Dayan calendar, at most it is only a deviation of one or two days.

Ten years later, the deviation becomes larger, but it does not exceed five days.

Looking at Li Heng, who was checked by Li Fuguo, he was even more shocked.

The Dayan Calendar is the country's most important astronomical almanac, and Li Heng didn't see all of the Dayan Calendar until he became the throne.

Li Tan has never seen the Dayan calendar at all!

The person who compiled the Dayan calendar, Seng and his party, had already passed away, and the prime minister Zhang Shuo who presided over the compilation also passed away.

There is no one in this world who has read the Dayan calendar, but the King of Yue actually compiled a set of calendars similar to the Dayan calendar!

What does this mean? This means that this almanac was not made up by the king of Yue at all. Maybe it is a more accurate almanac than the Dayan calendar?

Li Heng quickly flipped through the new almanac that King Yue paid tribute to, only to see that tonight, that is, on the first day of the first lunar month, there will be a special astronomical phenomenon of "fighting stars entering the Palace of Fate" in the version of King Yue's almanac.

The Big Dipper surrounds the Ziwei star, advocates killing, and is also the life star of the Ziwei Emperor star.

The Ziwei Emperor Star symbolizes the emperor, and the Dou Xing has always been the focus of observation by astronomical officials.

The Fate Palace is the middle boundary of the ancient astronomers for the division of the sky. In the ancient prophecy, all the fighting stars fall into the Fate Palace area. Auspicious celestial phenomena.

But there is no prediction of this astronomical phenomenon in the Dayan calendar.

Li Heng pointed to the almanac presented by the King of Yue and said: "The almanac presented by my son is similar to the Dayan calendar. The 'fighting star enters the palace of fate' at the time of tonight is not calculated in the Dayan calendar."

At this time, Prime Minister Pei Mian immediately said: "The entry of stars into the Palace of Fate is an auspicious omen for all officials to bow down and the world is peaceful. If King Yue's almanac is correct, Si Tianjian should have observed this celestial phenomenon."

Li Heng still has expectations in his heart. If it is really like the almanac presented by his son, there will be a celestial phenomenon where all the fighting stars enter the Palace of Fate, wouldn't it mean that his emperor is a virtuous emperor who obeys the will of heaven?
Regarding the new almanac, Li Heng believed a little more in his heart.

And if there is not much deviation between the new almanac and the Dayan calendar, it can be issued to the whole country as a new atmosphere of the new dynasty.

A smile appeared on Li Heng's face, and he immediately said: "Add a thousand households to the King of Yue's Shiyi."

After thinking for a while, the emperor said again: "If it is really as predicted in Tan'er's almanac, and there will be a celestial phenomenon that the fighting star will enter the Palace of Fate tonight, I will reward the King of Yue again!"

This time the officials were silent.

Even the civil servants who have the power to gossip, they don't understand astronomy!

They had no way of judging the authenticity of the almanac presented by King Yue.

Qi Wang Li Xi looked at Yushi Zhongcheng Cui Qi with a hidden look.

Cui Qi pretended not to see it, but shook his head slightly.

Seeing Cui Qi shaking his head, King Qi looked at the prince again.

I only saw that Li Chu was also expressionless, without any reaction.

The irritable King Qi finally suppressed the anger in his heart.

The king of Yue was the last one to present the gift, and the officials in the hall couldn't judge the gift of the king of Yue, and the whole Hanyuan hall fell into a strange silence.

Seeing that the ministers were silent, Li Heng just accepted the almanac and announced his withdrawal from the court. This Zhengdan court meeting was finally over.

And the aftermath of this grand meeting will last for a long time, the biggest aftermath of which is whether the astronomical phenomenon of "fighting stars entering the palace of fate" will happen tonight?
If the celestial phenomenon is really consistent with the almanac presented by the king of Yue, then the almanac of the king of Yue will be able to overwhelm the elixir of the East Palace and the red coral tree of the king of Qi, and become the most precious gift of this Zhengdan court meeting!

On this day, a strange phenomenon occurred in Chang'an City.

The court ministers all moved the dinner to the courtyard, and after having some wine, they raised their heads to look at the sky, staring at the bright Big Dipper in the sky.

Even the night banquet of the Zhengdan Palace was moved to the Liangyi Building of the Taiji Palace, because this is the tallest building in the Taiji Palace and the best place for stargazing.

In the backyard of Longyou Governor's Mansion, Zhou Shi was eating melons and fruits while looking at the sky with a self-made astronomical telescope.

He asked Wei Yuan: "Brother Wei, are you right? How could there be a celestial phenomenon of Dou Xing entering the Palace of Fate today?"

Wei Yuan smiled slightly and said, "I didn't calculate this, it was calculated by a computer. The so-called Dou Xing entering the palace of fate is just a special arrangement of stars in Ursa Major, which can be calculated by mathematics."

In the East Palace, Li Chu also placed the family banquet in the courtyard. He looked at the stars in the sky. Could the stars really reach the middle of the sky before midnight?
Li Chu didn't understand astronomy either, but Taoist Yuan said while drinking:
"Your Highness, don't worry. It's very rare for Dou Xing to enter the Palace of Fate. The last time this happened was in the early years of the Northern Zhou Dynasty."

"Now that the fighting stars are still at the corner of Tianyuan, they must have been fabricated in the Yue King's Almanac. I am afraid they are just to make up auspiciousness to make His Majesty happy."

Li Chu picked up the wine glass, he naturally hoped so, but his younger brother, the King of Yue, could always do things that others couldn't.

In Prince Qi's mansion, King Qi looked at the fighting stars in the corner of the sky with his wine glass in his hand, and laughed wantonly.

"Dou Xing enters the Palace of Fate, ahaha, there is only one hour left, can Dou Xing fly to the Palace of Fate?"

"Govern Cui Zhongcheng, wait until Zhengdan's rest is over, and mobilize Yushitai to impeach the King of Yue!"

But King Qi hadn't finished laughing when the Big Dipper suddenly sped up and moved.

In the Tianjian of the Imperial Palace, an old official looked excitedly at the Big Dipper moving in the sky, and they were flying towards the "Fate Palace" area in the middle of the sky!
In the princess mansion, Princess Yanguang also looked at the fighting stars moving in the night sky with a smile.

The prime ministers, the six ministers, Jing Zhaoyin, and officials of the Tang Dynasty all became astronomy enthusiasts overnight, staring at the stars in the sky.

"The child's hour has come!"

There was a knocking sound, King Qi raised his head, and saw the fighting stars hanging neatly in the sky, like an upside-down soup spoon, hanging upright in the middle of the sky!

The wine glass in King Qi's hand fell to the ground!

Dou Xing enters the Palace of Fate!
Li Heng in the palace had a busy day today, and at this time he was sitting on the couch of the Liangyi Hall and fell asleep lightly.

The old officials of the Sitianjian staggered towards the Liangyi Hall, shouting: "Stars enter the Palace of Fate! All the officials will bow, and the world will be blessed!"

Li Heng was awakened by the sound, he put on his clothes and walked to the window, looking at the Big Dipper hanging in the middle of the sky.

"It's really Zishi, and Dou Xing enters the Palace of Fate! Is Tan'er's calendar accurate???"

Li Heng murmured: "Hundreds of officials bow to each other, the world will be blessed!"

"God bless me Tang!"

On the second day of the first lunar month, news came from the palace.

The king of Yue made great contributions in presenting the almanac, and the emperor bestowed countless treasures on Longyou.

At the same time, the King of Yue was allowed to recruit talents from Longyou, and those who were below the sixth rank would be bestowed with official status by the imperial court!

When the news came out, Chang'an was shocked.

Today's feudal towns in the Tang Dynasty are far less unruly than later generations.

Those who can be appointed by the feudal towns are still military officers, and even the three towns in Hedong of Anlu Mountain before the rebellion, the right to appoint and dismiss civil servants is also in the hands of the imperial court.

Although Longyou is remote, it is also a Dao of the Tang Dynasty, and there are many officials in the upper and lower reaches.

The King of Yue used to have the power to open a mansion and build teeth, and he could appoint generals in Longyou.

However, the civil servants of the Jiedu Mansion are all officials of the Jiedu Mansion, and only a few have official status.

As for the governor and county magistrate of Longyou, in theory, only the imperial court can appoint them.

It's just that Li Yan used various methods to evade the county magistrates in Longyou, and they all surrendered their power obediently.

It is also because Longyou is a frontier land, and the people don't have much resistance. If it is an inland state or county, I am afraid that Li Yan may not be able to play with this trick.

So Li Yan now controls Longyou, which actually means that the name is not right.

The officials he appointed under his command were not actually among the officials of the Tang Dynasty, and they would not be able to continue to serve as officials if they left Longyou.

This is also the reason why Longyou couldn't absorb talents other than players.

Now the emperor ordered that the king of Yue could appoint civil officials below the sixth rank.

That Longyou is attractive to many people.

In addition to entering the official career through the imperial examination, there is also a way to enter the officialdom.

The prime minister can't guarantee that his son must be the material for reading, and many children of high-ranking officials enter the officialdom through the shadow of the door.

Although people who entered the officialdom were discriminated against in the officialdom, they were still officials after all.

If Longyou can appoint officials below the sixth rank on his own, then the high officials in the court can arrange for their children to serve in Longyou.

It's a huge benefit to mix up qualifications in Longyou and then transfer back to Chang'an through operation!

Even Prime Minister Pei Mian was a little moved, his son was not good enough, maybe he could be arranged to go to Longyou for "gilding"?
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that after this big court meeting, the pattern of three dragons seizing the throne has been formed.

The crown prince conferred the title of King Hong, which was regarded as a title blessed by the prophecy.

King Qi obtained the power to form a guard, which is considered to have grasped the military power to form a guard in Chang'an.

And the King of Yue got the power to appoint officials below the sixth rank in Longyou, so he got Longyou completely.

The crown prince got the face, and the king of Qi and the king of Yue got the face. It seemed like a win-win for all three, but the most anxious of the three was the king of Qi, Li Xi.

Not to mention that King Qi was robbed of the limelight by the crown prince, he was also robbed of the limelight by King Yue!

After Li Xi received the news, he lost his temper severely.

After kicking over his desk, Li Xi finally calmed down.

He's just grumpy, but not a fool.

There is only one winner in the road to succession, and the end of the loser is forever.

After calming down, Li Xi realized that he didn't have much advantage in this battle.

The King of Yue occupies Longyou, he wants territory and talent, and now he has the power to appoint civil servants in Longyou, and he can win over a group of ministers.

Not to mention the prince, the prince already has the power to recommend talents, and Li Chu has the support of generals, and the prestige of suppressing rebellion.

As for the Li family, there is only the titular queen mother and the great eunuch Li Fuguo who is allied with Queen Zhang.

"Li Tan, Li Tan, the lonely king really underestimated you!"

King Qi smashed the clock sent by the backyard of Longyou Governor's Mansion, and said viciously.
