Chapter 351: Lonely Year II

"Like a Great Heavenly Master?" The Emperor raised an eyebrow. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yu Nianniang's expression was even more respectful: "Yes." The Great Heavenly Master has a profound Taoist attainment and is proficient in occult arts, and he is an example for us to learn. ”

The emperor nodded, quite agreeing: "The Great Heavenly Master is indeed very skillful. If you can all be like the Great Heavenly Master, then it will be a great blessing for me! After a pause, he said, "But what does this have to do with the seat I gave you?" ”

A look of hesitation flashed on Yu Nianniang's face.

"Earth Master, just say, if you say something wrong, I will not punish you. The Great Heavenly Master is magnanimous, and he doesn't care about these little things. "The emperor said generously.

"Your Majesty." Yu Nianniang thanked: "This matter has nothing to do with the Great Heavenly Master, it's just that the courtiers accidentally heard someone say two days ago that only those with such a noble status as the Great Heavenly Master can be qualified to be given the throne by the emperor." Although the father of the courtier is a master of Tianyan, he is not a courtier after all, and the courtier must not rely on this servant to be delicate and forget her identity. These are only overheard by the courtiers, and as for who said it, the courtiers don't know. However, the courtiers felt that they were quite right. ”

But the emperor was very displeased.

Who you want to give the seat to, it is the emperor himself who has the final say, when it is the turn of others to point fingers, it is just a matter of decency, and there are still people to take care of this kind of trivial matter, so do these people in his country also want to get involved?

Although Yu Nianniang said that she didn't know where the rumors came from, the emperor felt that it must have come out of the Heavenly Dao Academy, even if this was not said by the Great Heavenly Master himself, then the Great Heavenly Master is also responsible, His Majesty can't do it, how to govern the country?

The emperor's face was pale, and he said to Huang Gong: "You go and find out where these words came from?" ”

Huang Gonggong was busy, hurriedly glanced at Yu Nianniang, and walked out of the imperial study.

He didn't know much about Yu Nianniang, but in private, he knew that although Yu Nianniang was not close to the queen mother and Tong Guifei, he knew Ning An Houshizi.

The Great Heavenly Master's statement of the lonely year is obviously biased towards the second prince, and the emperor summoned Yu Nianniang before mentioning this matter, Yu Nianniang first commanded the Great Heavenly Master's army.

Yu Nianniang is not inconspicuous on weekdays, but she has such a scheming.

Out of the imperial study, Gonggong Huang raised his hand and slapped his beating left eyelid, secretly determined that he could no longer ignore Yu Nianniang and others in the future. He can't get involved in the affairs of the palace anymore, and only by following the emperor will he not make mistakes.

What Huang Gonggong asked to do, the emperor did not want the result immediately.

He talked about the eldest prince and the second prince marrying concubines and the year of Guluan.

“…… All the things are almost ready, and the marriage of the second prince was originally scheduled for next year, if it is advanced at this time, I am afraid that the Ministry of Rites will be in a mess again...... In the past dynasties, there have been no two princes who have married together, and the concubine means that the Great Heavenly Master said that the next year is the year of Loneluan, and hopes that the marriage of the two princes can be completed at the end of the year. Lonely Luan married in a lonely year, and it is not easy to choose a good day for marriage. I thought that the Yu Di Master was very powerful, can I see if there is any way to break it in this lonely year? ”

Next year is the year of Lonely Luan, and Yu Nianniang already knew it.

What is the Solitary Year, which is what we now call a leap month.

The calendar has been in use since a long time, and it has different names, such as "lunar calendar", "lunar calendar", "ancient calendar", "yellow calendar", "summer calendar" and "old calendar".

The year of the lonely luan refers to the year when there are two spring seasons in a year, also known as the two springs in a year. Lonely refers to loneliness, Luan is a kind of bird, a single bird, the ancients thought that the lonely Luan is a bird that has lost its mate, can not live and fly, therefore, the ancients have the custom of marrying every lonely year, this custom has been passed down to this day, but now many people are no longer taboo these.

Yu Nianniang checked the calendar of the Celestial Empire, the current emperor ascended the throne within two years of a lonely year, for the new emperor, there will be a variety of folk sayings about this inauspicious year, some people will even wonder whether the emperor is moral, so it caused the lonely year. This is a superstition.

From the emperor's tone, Yu Nianniang clearly felt the emperor's taboo on the year of Guluan, when the year of Guluan, the emperor was annoyed by the gossip of the people, and he lost his temper several times in the Jinluan Palace. But this kind of natural disaster, he can't do anything about it.

The emperor himself is also very concerned about this kind of unlucky thing, so there is a line of back between Yu Nianniang's words, saying that it is not easy to choose a good day next year, but he does not say that he needs to marry in a lonely year, and there is no good day to choose from.

Then I want Yu Nianniang to find a way to crack it, if Yu Nianniang really does it, it will not only solve the marriage of the second prince, but also wash away the grievances of the emperor back then, and tell everyone in the world that the lonely year has nothing to do with him, the emperor.

"Back to the emperor, next year will indeed be a lonely year." Yu Nianniang said.

Hearing this, disappointment flashed on the emperor's face, knowing that there would be no mistake, and hearing Yu Nianniang prove that the emperor was still a little disappointed.

"But ......" Yu Nianniang's words changed: "The year of Lonely Luan is not what everyone imagined, and it is not an inauspicious year. It's just a leap ......month, "Then, Yu Nianniang explained the operation of the solar terms, the operation of the calendar, and how there will be a leap month to the emperor one by one, which is very different from the emperor's understanding, but it is very reasonable, and finally the emperor also asked people to take the calendar of the current dynasty and the calendar of the previous dynasty to check, and sure enough, there is a leap month every few years.

The emperor immediately admired Yu Nianniang very much, and kept praising her for being a talent!

Why was the emperor so happy?

Because when Huang Gonggong went to inquire about the year of Guluan just now, he learned that there were already people in the court talking about the year of Guluan, and I believe that someone will mention the year of Guluan in the morning tomorrow, and then he can use Yu Nianniang's statement to refute everyone and tell everyone that the year of Guluan is just a leap month set by the ancients in the operation of the calendar, and it has nothing to do with anyone. Let everyone in the world know this truth!

So the emperor specially instructed Yu Nianniang to go back and prepare.

Wait until the next day, not long after the court meeting began, sure enough, there is a royal history mentioning the next year's lonely year, saying that the emperor ascended the throne This is already the second lonely year, please ask the emperor to ask for grace to the sky, avoid disasters and disasters, and the emperor should personally do it to pray for the common people in the world.

Whether it is a practice or a sacrifice, this kind of thing should be done by the heavenly master, and if the emperor is asked to do it himself, it will inevitably have some meaning of letting the emperor punish himself.

When the emperor heard this, he was furious. But in front of civil and military officials, it is not appropriate to get angry at this time.

So, the emperor held his breath and rejected the request of the imperial history with a stiff face: "...... I was also very worried about the Lonely Luan Year, but after listening to Yu Dishi's explanation yesterday, I realized that the Lonely Luan Year was not what we imagined, it was just a leap month in the calendar, and the calendar was created by the ancients, so it was not a heavenly ......" Then no matter how surprised everyone was, he immediately announced that Yu Nianniang was invited to enter the palace.

This time, the Jinluan Palace can explode the pot.

Yu Nianniang is just a small earth master, and she can go to the Jinluan Palace to discuss matters without quality or rank, and she is very skeptical of her statement that the Lone Luan Year belongs to the natural compilation of the calendar.
