Chapter 016: No Chance in This Life (6)
Jian Ning stood in place a little distracted, thinking about the few bright spots that flashed quickly in the sky just now, as well as the strange light. Thinking of the astrological charts on the parchment rolls, a very bad premonition arose.
The positions of the bright spots that flashed just now are very close to the arrangement on the astrological chart, is the real anomaly about to come?
But there are still too many mysteries to solve
Suddenly, Jian Ning thought of something, and summoned Yun Ling to ask, "Yun Ling, is there a relevant record of a heavenly vision like this just now, or a celestial phenomenon?" ”
Since Wu Shi can't be found for the time being, then maybe you can ask Qin Tianjian for questions about the stars.
"It stands to reason that there is. But why did the princess suddenly become so interested in the stars? Yun Ling thought for a moment and said.
After all, she is a person from Ling Sui, and she doesn't know much about Yuan Chu's affairs, especially people and things like Qin Tianjian who are useless to her, so she doesn't dare to answer Jian Ning too surely.
"You don't have to worry about this, you can go and help me find Qin Tianjian over." Jian Ning put her things away and said.
"Yes, slave and maid will do it." Yun Ling retreated with doubts.
After returning to the house, Jian Ning traced a copy of the astrological chart on the parchment scroll.
About an hour or so, Yun Ling took Qin Tianjian outside to ask for a meeting.
Jian Ning met Qin Tianjian in the main hall of Huiyi Palace. This is a tall and thin man with a small mustache, compared to Wu Shi's fairy wind bones, this person seems a little obscene.
After a bow. Jian Ningping stepped back and asked directly: "My lord, this palace came to you today because I want to ask for advice, and I hope that my lord can solve my doubts for this palace." ”
Although there are many officials above the court who are dissatisfied with Jian Ning, there are not many who really dare not to put Jian Ning in their eyes. An official like Qin Tianjian who has no real power does not dare to be presumptuous in person. Moreover, the abolition of the harem has no interest in him, so there is no contradiction between them.
"The princess is polite, but it doesn't hurt to smell it." Qin Tianjian politely saluted.
"There was a vision just now, and there was one a few months ago, and this palace wants to know why?" Jian Ning said directly.
"Hui Niangniang, according to the experience of the lower officials for many years and the records of the Qin Tianjian in the past dynasties. During this time, there are often anomalies, and it is very likely that the phenomenon of the nine-star alignment that occurs once in a thousand years is about to occur. ”
"Nine-Star Alliance?" Jian Ning looked at Qin Tianjian with some surprise.
Isn't this nine-star alignment known as a non-existent occurrence in 6,000 years? Moreover, according to the current observation technology. It shouldn't be possible to observe the real nine-star alignment, right?
"On what basis?" Jian Ning asked suspiciously, "Has there ever been such a record in the existing history?" ”
"About 100 years ago, there was a record of a seven-star alignment, but there was no warning before this vision. It can be said that it came suddenly. Qin Tianjian replied. But this time, there were frequent anomalies. Moreover, at the time of today's anomaly, nine bright spots in the sky were observed, and after research, it was guessed that it was very likely to be the situation of the Nine Stars Alignment. ”
"There was a seven-star alignment a hundred years ago?" Jian Ning immediately stood up in surprise. Hand the paper he had just traced to Qin Tianjian Dao. "Do you see if the astrological records of those days are similar to this?"
After looking at it for a moment, Qin Tianjian nodded and said, "It's indeed similar. ”
Jian Ning suddenly understood that Ruan Feichen must have found a way to go back back then, and he originally wanted to go back when the Seven Stars were aligned, but something might have gone wrong in the middle that led to his failure. And this failure is most likely due to the lack of a sea pearl.
"In the record, but when it is written that the seven stars are aligned, a strange light falls? Where will it be? Jian Ning immediately asked.
It is very likely that the place she was looking for back then is the place she is looking for now.
"This official doesn't remember it very clearly, I need to go back and look through the records to reply to the princess, and I hope the princess will forgive her sins." Qin Tianjian said with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"Then you check it out now, and then talk back when you find it." Jian Ning waved his hand to signal him to go out.
After Qin Tianjian left, Yun Ling came in with a heavy face and said, "Princess, I just received news that Dongshang and Yuan Chu have officially started a war on the border. ”
"What about Ling Sui?" Jian Ning's heart tightened, and she immediately asked.
"Lingsui is in a wait-and-see state for the time being, and there is no action for the time being except for strengthening the border garrison." Yun Ling replied.
"Do you know which side provoked the war between Yuan Chu and Dongshang this time, and what is the reason?" Jian Ning continued.
"This is a little inexplicable, the people of Dongshang said that the officers and soldiers on the border of Yuanchu killed a group of merchants in their country, but Yuanchu said that those merchants were spies sent by Dongshang, intending to burn Yuanchu's grain and grass, in short, these are superficial reasons, and there is no need to delve into it now." Yun Ling replied.
"Then how is Long Zeye's side now?" Jian Ning said.
Yun Ling knew that Jian Ning would ask, so she inquired about everything that should be inquired about, and everything that should be checked was checked.
"The Dongshang border has always been guarded by the second son of General Zhenguo, that is, Shangguan Aoqing's elder brother. But because of the last time Shangguan Aoqing made a fuss, the emperor reduced the military power of the Shangguan family. In addition, King Xiang took precautions and rushed to the border a few days ago, so now King Xiang is in command in the army. ”
Speaking of this, Yun Ling paused with a slight hesitation: "It's just"
"Tell me, just what?" Jian Ning said urgently.
"It's just that I heard that the Emperor of Dongshang drove the expedition in person, and the army's morale was greatly boosted and unstoppable. Therefore, there are rumors in the palace that the emperor may also drive in person. ”
"Where is the emperor now?" Jian Ning frowned.
"Now it should be in the imperial study to discuss the war with the ministers." Yun Ling said.
Jian Ning got up, didn't call a sedan chair, and ran all the way to the imperial study.
When I arrived outside the imperial study, I really saw that the door was closed, and Fan Chengfu was guarding outside.
"The old slave has seen the princess." When Fan Chengfu saw Jian Ning coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "But I need the old slave to go in and say hello." ”
The emperor had instructed before that Princess Lingsui should return immediately whenever she came.
"Father-in-law and slow." Jian Ning immediately stopped Fan Chengfu and asked, "The emperor is discussing the war with everyone at this moment?" ”
"Back to Princess, yes." Fan Chengfu replied truthfully.
"Then the palace is waiting here, and the father-in-law doesn't have to go in and disturb." Jian Ning heard this and said lightly.
"Yes." Fan Chengfu saw Jian Ning say this, and he would not have an opinion, after all, the emperor should put state affairs first.
Jian Ning waited outside for two hours before the door of the imperial study finally opened. The ministers came out of it one by one, and saw Jian Ning standing at the door, all looking at her with a look of disgust and disgust. (To be continued......)
