People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1399 Solar eclipse, the emperor is critically ill

"Prince Peng?" Sitting on the royal couch, the shadow of Li Xuan appeared in Li Zhi's mind. Finally, he couldn't help shaking his head and said: "Prince Peng is currently busy with flood control and spring planting in Fanzhou. Please transfer him there." In the Western Region, Fanzhou will definitely have an impact this year. Fanzhou is newly established and should not be disturbed. "

"Then how about transferring Zuo Xiaowei General Shi Jie to the west first?" Liu Rengui stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Zuo Xiaowei himself is preparing to open up the Western Region."

"Yes!" Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

It was already in their plan that Shi Xian would lead his army to march westward, completely annihilate the remnants of Tibet and open up the Western Regions, so it would be appropriate to transfer him there now.

"In this way, with Shi Zhen and Wang Fangyi, the Western Turks will be able to be pacified." Liu Shenli nodded.

"However, we still need a handsome candidate." Pei Yan stood up, raised his hands and looked at Li Zhi.

At this time, all the officials in the palace became quiet. Now in the Tang Dynasty, there are only a few people who can really be the head coach.

Li Xuan can't move, and Pei Xingjian can't move, so why should Xue Rengui be moved?

Li Zhi suddenly looked up at everyone and asked, "Where is Quan Shancai now?"

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and then their faces became overjoyed.

Although Quan Shancai was dismissed from his post as General Zuoweiwei, he had served as General Zuowuwei before that.

Now Brenzanren is the general of Zuowuwei, that is, Wang Fangyi. Many of the soldiers under his command were originally Zuowuwei sergeants.

Shi Jian was General Zuo Xiaowei, but he was a Turk after all. Now that he was being checked and balanced by Quan Shancai, who was also a general, some worries immediately disappeared.

"Your Majesty, General Quan is now the Commander-in-Chief of Dunhuang Mansion." Dou Xuande stood up and answered with his hands raised.

Li Zhi nodded and said: "Now that the Western Region has changed again, I ordered Quan Shancai to review General Zuo Wuwei and appoint him as the marching commander of Anxi Road to pacify the Western Region. If he succeeds, he will reinstate General Zuo Wuwei. If he fails, he will Then all official positions were abolished and demoted to common people."

"Your Majesty is wise." The ministers cupped their hands at the same time.

Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The matter of Western Turks must be resolved from the root after all..."

Before Li Zhi finished speaking, a panicked shout suddenly came from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Li Zhi frowned instantly, looked outside the hall, and shouted coldly: "Who is making such a noise?"

The Jin Wu guards on both sides of the palace gate immediately turned away. However, the next moment, they turned back in surprise and stood on both sides of the palace gate, holding their hands solemnly.

Li Zhi's eyes suddenly widened, and just as he was about to speak, clear footsteps could be heard, followed closely by Taishi Ling Li Yan, who was wearing a scarlet robe, rushed into the hall in a panic, and then knelt directly in the center of the hall: "Your Majesty!"

"What's the matter?" Li Zhi's face instantly became serious.

In today's Tang Dynasty, only a few people have the right to directly rush to the palace without being punished. Li Yan, the Taishi Ling who predicted astronomical weather, is one of them.

Li Yan kowtowed with a pale face and said, "Your Majesty, the Taishi Bureau has predicted that there will be a solar eclipse."

"Solar eclipse?" Li Zhi couldn't help but stood up and asked sharply: "When is it?"

"Reply to Your Majesty." Li Yan said with a trembling body, "Today."

"Today?" Li Zhi's eyes widened in surprise, and all the officials in the palace started making noises.

There is a solar eclipse today, and you only reported it today, you Taishi Ling...

Li Zhi quickly calmed down, sat down and said: "General Jinwuwei, General Zhonglang, Yongzhou Governor Shi, Yongzhou Sima, Chang'an Order, Wannian Order, immediately notify Chang'an City that there will be a solar eclipse, and order the people to return home." Home, no going out.”

"Here!" Eight people stood up at the same time, solemnly accepted the order, turned and left.

The ministers immediately breathed a sigh of relief, their faces full of joy, and they cupped their hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

So far today, the solar eclipse has not happened yet. All the people in Chang'an need to do is let all the people go home and let them know that the imperial court has predicted the solar eclipse in advance, and the impact can be minimized.

Li Zhi waved his hand and said: "There is a big eclipse in the sun, which means I have failed in my management of politics."

"Your Majesty!" Liu Rengui handed over his hand again, looked at Li Zhi, and said: "Today's events, it seems now that this solar eclipse is probably a sign of the Western Turks' attack on the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty, please..."

Before Liu Rengui finished speaking, Li Zhi suddenly interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

Li Zhi looked straight at Li Yan and asked directly: "Li Qing, I know that you have always studied the origins of your family. You will never be so negligent about this kind of thing. Today's solar eclipse, today's judgment, I need someone explain?"

Li Yan's face suddenly twitched, and he couldn't help but hesitate.

"Speak, I'll let you speak." Li Zhi shouted angrily, and at the same time, a jade lion was thrown towards Li Yan.

The Zichen Hall is vast, and the jade lion hit the ground of the hall directly. It shattered with a "snap" and countless fragments flew out. One of the fragments directly hit the eyebrow bone of Li Yan's right eye, and blood suddenly flowed out. .

Li Yan shuddered suddenly, and then bowed his head and said: "Reporting to your Majesty, the Taishi Bureau predicted at the end of February that there will be an eclipse on the first day of April, and has already submitted it to the Secretariat. I thought that the Secretary had already submitted it to Your Majesty, and then in January Since then, there has been no summons, and I was anxious. After checking, I discovered that the report had been forgotten in the Secretariat..."

"Secretary, Young Supervisor?" Li Zhi suddenly turned his head and stared at Wu Sansi.

Wu Sansi's face was full of horror. He did not expect that this matter would involve him.

Now the person with the highest position in the Secretary Department is him, the Secretary Superintendent.

What's more, because of the need to make room for him, the court has not appointed a new secretary supervisor.

If something goes wrong now, naturally all the responsibility lies on his head.

Wu Sansi quickly stood up with his hands raised, knelt down and said in panic: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen the submission. I have recently been familiar with and mastered the secretarial affairs. The Taishi Bureau's submission may have been placed by the Secretary. Wherever it is, please investigate immediately.”

After Wu Sansi finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily on the ground. The sound of his kowtow echoed throughout the hall. "Okay." The emperor's cold voice sounded, and then he said: "Here's the decree, Secretary and Young Superintendent Wu Sansi, who acts carelessly, will be fined half a year's salary."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wu Sansi breathed a long sigh of relief. When he raised his head, his forehead was bleeding.

"Step back." The emperor waved his hand, and Wu Sansi withdrew.

Wu Sansi had just stood still when he heard the emperor continue to say: "Thanks to the Taishi Ling's report in time, no major harm was caused. To pass on the edict, Taishi Ling Li Yan has sincerely served his orders. He has been promoted to Secretary and Young Supervisor to abide by the Taishi Ling."

The corner of Wu Sansi's mouth twitched slightly. He knew that the emperor should have dismissed him directly, but he only forgave him because of the sake of Empress Wu and the fact that no serious harm had been caused.

However, the ministers of the government and the public were not so easy to explain, so now he was exempted from his salary for half a year, and at the same time he was promoted to Secretary and Young Supervisor, in order to appease the dissatisfaction of the courtiers.

Wu Sansi's cold eyes fell on the face of Li Yan who was surrendering his life, but when he saw the wound on the corner of his eyebrow, his heart completely turned cold.

Taishi Ling Li Yan is not a simple person.

In addition to the fact that his father was the famous Li Chunfeng, who had predicted the astronomical phenomena without errors for many years, Wu Sansi also knew that Li Yan also held an unknown power in his hands that could not be easily touched.

……

Li Zhi raised his eyes and looked at Xue Yuanchao: "Xue Xiang, draft a criminal edict for me. I have made mistakes in my administration, which is why we have today's eclipse. All states and counties in the world will directly pardon prisoners who have been sentenced to three years or less."

"Here!" Xue Yuanchao bowed deeply. This was a necessary thing, even if there was a solar eclipse during Taizong's reign.

There is a vision in heaven, and the emperor sins against himself.

"Your Majesty." Liu Rengui stood up and said with cupped hands: "The Western Turks are plotting rebellion and affecting the sky. Now it seems that it is no longer enough to send Zuowuwei General Quan Shancai to the Western Regions. I think that the DPRK should send important officials there. "

Li Zhi took a deep breath, nodded, and said: "The celestial phenomena warns that if you continue to move forward, you may indeed make mistakes."

Li Zhi glanced at the officials in the palace, from Wang Dezhen and Pei Yan to Liu Shenli, and finally said: "Pengcheng County Duke, please go for a trip."

"I accept the order." Liu Shenli stood up and bowed solemnly, holding his hands in his hands. The moment he lowered his head, a trace of sadness flashed in Liu Shenli's eyes.

He had a feeling that after leaving this time, he would not be able to come back easily again.

Just like Li Jingxuan, he was transferred to Qianzhou, and now he is getting closer to Wuzhao again.

Although this Western Turkic rebellion was unexpected, Liu Shenli had already felt at the beginning of the year that he would leave the center.

Li Zhi withdrew his gaze, looked at the ministers in the palace, and said solemnly: "This year's affairs, the most important thing is autumn grain, so controlling floods and preventing floods is even more important. Minister Zuo, I will leave this matter to you."

"I accept the decree." Liu Rengui earnestly handed over his hand.

Li Zhi nodded and said: "This year, regarding the military rations in Anxi, the Ministry of Household Affairs has organized the transfer of part from Longyou, and part from Fanzhou. King Peng withheld a lot of food last year, so they will all be transferred this time." ”

"Haha!" All the officials in the palace couldn't help laughing at the same time.

"I'm afraid he has to focus more on water control and growing grain." Liu Rengui couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Haha..." All the officials in the palace laughed at the same time...

"Dong dong dong..." A loud sound of drums and pots suddenly came from outside the palace city, and then, the entire palace city also began to crackle.

The smiles of the officials in the palace instantly faded, and their faces couldn't help but turn pale.

The eclipse has begun.

The light outside began to gradually dim, and some people's faces became pale.

At this time, the emperor's voice sounded: "The sun and the moon meet and eclipse."

The ministers were stunned for a moment and looked at the emperor subconsciously. At this moment, Li Yan, who had just stood on the train, stood up, cupped his hands and said: "The sun and the moon eclipse each other, and the sun and the moon meet. The moon moves along the ecliptic, and the sun moves along the ecliptic. If it is covered, there will be a solar eclipse, which means that the yin will prevail over the yang, and it will become heavier.”

The courtiers who were proficient in classics immediately realized that these words came from Sima Qian's "Historical Records: Tianguan Shu".

The translation of this sentence is: A solar eclipse occurs because the moon blocks the sun.

This is the foundation. Other so-called "receptions from heaven and humans" are just ministers looking for an opportunity to advise the monarch, and at the same time, let the monarch reflect on whether he is wise and wise, so as to ensure the peace of the country and the people.

This time, it was only because of the rebellion of the Western Turks that everything was involved. Otherwise, Li Zhi would have to reflect on himself.

There is a fixed number of solar eclipses, which is the historian's explanation of celestial phenomena, and this is how the Taishi Bureau came into existence.

As for what he said just now, only Li Yan could agree with the emperor. If anyone else said anything more, they would be impeached by the ministers until death.

The solar eclipse gradually became more intense, the whole world became dark, and the officials were silent.

In the darkness, only the emperor's voice sounded: "After all, it is my poor governance, otherwise there would not have been Western Turks..."

The emperor's voice stopped completely mid-sentence, and the ministers subconsciously looked towards the imperial couch in the darkness.

A "bang" sound suddenly sounded on the imperial couch, as if something suddenly collided, and then there was a crashing sound...

"Your Majesty!" Empress Wu's panicked voice sounded. She had already stood up and grabbed to the side, but in the darkness, no one knew what happened, but there was no sound from the emperor.

　In the summer of the first year of Yongchun (Renwu, AD 682) of Emperor Gaozong, the great sage Daihongxiao, there was an eclipse in Jiazishuo in April.

　　During the total solar eclipse on February 1980, 2 (the first day of the first lunar month in the lunar calendar), the scientific research team of Shanghai College of Traditional Chinese Medicine went to Kunming and, together with local medical staff, conducted comprehensive observations on 16 cardiovascular and cerebrovascular patients, which showed that more than 55% of the patients had preexisting conditions. The patient's symptoms of cold sensitivity become more prominent; the patient's sympathetic nerves are more excited, and it is not until two or three days after the solar eclipse that the patient's blood pressure, pulse, and sympathetic nerves gradually return to their original levels.
