Chapter 99 Thought reform! Remember to read more!
This "Five-Sense Supervisor" is not a title, but an official title.

The ninth rank, in charge of astronomy, is subordinate to Qin Tianjian, and assists the five sense organs in correcting the calendar, determining the four o'clock, and supervising the celestial phenomena.

As for Yang Yuan, Tang Hao didn't know or know him at all.

But he knew that he might be in trouble this time.

This ancient emperor was most taboo about "abnormal changes in the sky"!
In the ancient Chinese dynasty, celestial phenomena were considered to be manifestations of the gods between heaven and earth, and were therefore widely used to predict good and bad luck, the fate of the emperor, and so on.

The reason is still the set of "influence between heaven and man" and "divine right of kings" developed by the Confucian Dong Zhongshu. The purpose is to completely bind Confucianism with imperial power and become an ideological tool for emperors to rule the people in the past, making Confucianism the foundation of all dynasties. An official philosophy that emperors had to pay attention to and support!
Dong Zhongshu did it, and Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty "deposed hundreds of schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone." From then on, Confucian disciples had a transcendent status, and Confucianism became a prominent school in the past dynasties. Confucian disciples even regarded themselves as "disciples of famous religions", demonstrating their noble status.

So, since it is the "divine right of kings" and since there is "influence between heaven and man", then if the emperor, the emperor, the biological son of God, does something wrong, God will naturally send disaster warnings; in the same way, if the emperor is virtuous, , God will also send down auspiciousness to encourage you!
Therefore, "celestial phenomena" were extremely important in the eyes of ancient emperors!

For example, according to legend, when a solar eclipse occurs, a king will be born or die. For example, "Historical Records" records that at the end of the Qin Dynasty, when King Qin Zhaoxiang came to the throne, there was a solar eclipse.

For another example, according to the records of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, a comet appeared in the sky. At that time, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was resting in his palace. Suddenly he saw a comet and immediately summoned the prime minister Wei Zheng to ask about the matter. Wei Zheng explained that this was a sign that God gave Li Shimin a unified world. Later, Li Shimin really came to dominate the world.

The appearance of a red light was also considered a good omen, especially at the birth of an emperor. According to the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", the mother of Liu Zhuang, Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty, once dreamed of a dragon entering her arms during her pregnancy. Later, when she gave birth to Liu Zhuang, a strong red light appeared in the sky. Everyone thought that this was It is the auspicious occasion of the birth of the emperor.

Closer to home is the little emperor himself. In the year since he ascended the throne, there have been constant disasters from the sky, such as strong winds and heavy rains, earth dragons turning over, frequent thunder and lightning, and even meteors falling from the capital and heavenly drums sounding. The thunder also hit the owl and ridge beasts in Jiaotan, Ancestral Temple, Fengtian Hall and other places.

what is this?
It is obvious that the emperor is at fault and God is punishing him!
Last time, the ministers seized on this excuse and criticized the young emperor for a series of mistakes such as indulging in riding and shooting, excessive rewards and expenses, not listening to the straight talk, and watching the court grow late. On the other hand, they blamed the young emperor for all these mistakes. When it came to the Eight Tigers eunuchs, they wanted to take this opportunity to force the young emperor to eradicate the Eight Tigers eunuchs Liu Jin, Gu Dayong, and Ma Yongcheng!

That time, Tang Hao and the young emperor jointly planned the plan. After many preparations, even the old Duke Zhang Mao and the eunuch Chen Kuan, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, took action one after another. They also gave up the interests of the imperial village to the civil servants and gentry. Only then did they secure the The eight tiger eunuchs were killed!
Right now, someone is trying to use the "celestial changes" to force the little emperor to kill Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan!
Well now, the civil servants and gentry have put their target on Tang Hao, thinking that he is the initiator of this "celestial movement". They think that Tang Hao is more of a threat than the Eight Tigers eunuchs, and want to force the little emperor to kill him. Got him!

Tang Hao couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.

How can I, Tang Ritian, be so virtuous and capable?
What you do makes me want to kill someone!

Qianqing Palace arrived soon.

In the main hall, there were only the young emperor and Chen Kuan.

At this moment, the little emperor's face was filled with uncertainty. When he saw Tang Hao coming, he gave him a meaningful look and didn't even talk to Tang Hao!
Seeing the little emperor's attitude, Tang Hao's heart sank.

Damn it, I just reminded you last time, and now you’ve forgotten it, right?

"Comrade-in-arms from Paoze who fought side by side", I really want to slap him!
Tang Hao was very unhappy and didn't bother to talk to the little emperor. Instead, he looked directly at Chen Kuan and spoke.

"Chen Dajue, what is Yang Yuan's background?"

Chen Kuan glanced at the little emperor, and then spoke in a low voice.

"This Yang Yuan is from Fengcheng County, Nanchang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province. He is the son of Yang Xuan, deputy envoy of Zhejiang Province. He studied astronomy at a young age and was awarded the title of Supervisor of the Five Senses."

"His father, Yang Xuan, was an official from the Department of Science and Technology. Gangjie dared to speak out. During the Tianshun period, he impeached Cao Jixiang, Shi Heng and others for invading Zhuangtian and pampering their fathers. He won the emperor's heart and later eradicated Cao Jixiang and Shi Heng under His Majesty Yingzong. Heng and other rebellious ministers and traitors fought vigorously, so they were able to rise to prominence and become deputy envoy to Zhejiang."

"He became famous all over the world for his bold loyalty and outspoken advice, and was highly praised by scholars. His son Yang Yuan was also influenced by him to a certain extent. Last time, he also used the celestial phenomena to make a speech, requesting His Majesty the Emperor to kill Liu Jin and Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong and others!”

Chen Kuan seemed to be telling the truth and praising Yang Yuan for being like his father, but his last words had a profound meaning.

The little emperor was startled when he heard this, and then ordered someone to find the memorial where Yang Yuan made his last speech.

Sure enough, as Chen Kuan said, Yang Yuan also said the same thing last time, but the little emperor was busy riding horses and hunting, busy playing and having fun, so he didn't pay attention at all!
If Chen Kuan hadn't mentioned it, the little emperor might have almost forgotten about it!

Now, looking at the contents of this memorial, Zhu Houzhao sneered again and again.

Let me go to your uncle’s house!

Whose celestial phenomenon changes every day?
Whose God sends down disaster warnings every day?

"Savage, what do you think of this matter?"

The little emperor looked at Tang Hao with an angry face.

Tang Hao's face was expressionless, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"See with your eyes!"

Chen Kuan: "???"

Little Emperor: "???"

Ah this?

The savage is angry again!

Zhu Houzhao slapped his forehead, then stepped forward with a playful smile and pulled Tang Ritian's sleeves. "What a savage, what a savage, don't be angry!"

"Isn't it because Yang Yuan, the thief, lied about the abnormal movement of the sky, so I lost my mind for a while? I know I was wrong..."

Seeing this scene, Chen Kuan almost dropped his jaw in shock.

The emperor apologized to his ministers?
Are you still admitting your mistake with a shy smile?
How can this Marquis of Zhongshan be so capable?

Listen to this tone, it's just like trying to coax your little wife!
The last time Chen Kuan saw such a scene, it was Emperor Hongzhi who playfully went to coax Empress Zhang!

Tang Hao, Tang Hao, you are so awesome!

Tang Hao was unhappy, and he didn't care that Chen Kuan was by his side, and directly reprimanded the little emperor.

"If I ask you to study more, you have to feed the pigs!"

"Who told you that unusual changes in the sky are warnings from God? The tail of comets, the shaking of the heart, the darkness of the sky...are all signals from God?"

"Do you know what a comet is? Do you know what Antares is? Do you know the Big Dipper?"

Based on his own safety in the future, and fearing that the little emperor would listen to this bullshit celestial phenomenon next time, Tang Hao simply took a pen and paper and personally spread the astronomy knowledge to the little emperor and Chen Kuan who was standing beside him.

Of course, I only scratched the surface and did not mention the matter of "we live on a ball".

Because Tang Hao was worried that if he instilled too much at once, it would have too much impact on the little emperor and directly shatter his outlook on life, which would be the end of the world.

Chen Kuan and Zhu Houzhao were stunned for a long time and could not recover for a long time.

Tang Hao stopped in time, and then reminded: "This time it was clearly me who pushed the court to restore the old system of paying grains, which hurt the interests of too many Nanchen Jin gentry, so they wanted to peel me off and use Yang Yuan's words to talk about the abnormal changes in the sky. This is just revenge for forcing you, His Majesty the Emperor, to kill me!"

"If you, Zhu Houzhao, really believe it, then you are the stupidest pig in the world!"

After Tang Hao said these rebellious words, he turned around and left, too lazy to talk nonsense to the little emperor!
Chen Kuan and Zhu Houzhao looked at each other in confusion, looking at the starry sky map drawn by Tang Hao, and looking at the examples Tang Hao gave. Both of them were shocked with shock on their faces, and their brains were in a state of mush!
"Da Xun, this... is this... real?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at Chen Kuan in disbelief, with solicitude and a hint of prayer in his eyes.

How he wished Chen Kuan would tell him that what the savage Tang Hao said was all false!

However, Chen Kuan nodded solemnly.

"The Marquis of Zhongshan never acts without aim!"

"It's impossible for him to compile so many things in a short period of time!"

"And we can definitely send people to verify the examples given by Zhongshan Marquis!"

Hearing this, the little emperor woke up from a dream and immediately shouted: "Send someone to check immediately to see if what the savage said is true!"

Chen Kuan nodded, immediately copied some of those examples, handed them to Zhang Yong, and whispered: "Go there in person and rush to verify it immediately. It must be fast and the results must be accurate!"

Zhang Yong was shocked when he heard this, but he did not dare to hesitate and set off immediately.

After Zhang Yong left, Chen Kuan returned to the main hall and saw the little emperor slumped on the chair in a daze.

"Da Xun, tell me, what would you do if it turns out to be true?"

Chen Kuan's face was full of bitterness. This was the first time that he didn't know how to answer the little emperor!

Because, there is no way to answer!

If what Zhongshan Hou said is true, then...

"What if this damned savage just said everything is true!"

Zhu Houzhao's face was full of confusion, and his eyes became hollow.

"The so-called emperor and the so-called divine right of kings are actually all jokes!"

"The sky of all the emperors of the past dynasties... is about to collapse!"

When Chen Kuan heard this, his whole body shook violently, and then he quickly knelt down on the ground.

The Emperor is fake, the "divine right of kings" is fake, and even God is fake!
Why is the emperor supreme?
Marquis of Zhongshan, Marquis of Zhongshan, you are trying to overturn the table!
