Chapter 32: A Brain Dead Omen
The Qin Heavenly Supervisor observed the celestial phenomena, calculated the solar terms, and formulated the calendar. The ancients believed that changes in celestial phenomena and personnel changes directly corresponded, so the position of Qintian was very important. The Qintian Prison has one supervisor and one chief bookkeeper. Spring, summer, mid-autumn and winter, the facial features are positive. In addition, there are also five senses Lingtai Lang, five senses Bao Zhangzheng, five senses and pots, five senses supervisor, five officials calendar, five officials Chen, etc., if it is full, Qin Tianjian is not far behind than the six.
But in fact, today's Qin Tianjian, except for Yuan Tiangang, only has the necessary spring, summer, mid-autumn and winter facial features. There were six people in total, and there was no more. The reason is simple, in one word, poor.
Datang has just been founded, and there are too many places that need money. Li Shimin is a pragmatic son of heaven, on the one hand, the military and the people's livelihood, and on the other hand, he asks the heavens for divination, so he naturally wants to spend his money in more practical places.
Not only Li Shimin, but also when Li Yuan was in power.
The emperor's view of providence was very ambivalent. Take Li Yuan as an example, when he wanted to raise troops, he hesitated. At this time, Tang Jian made a cameo appearance in the Qin Heavenly Prison and said to Li Yuan: "You have the appearance of the Sun Horn Dragon Court, and your surname is in line with the diagram, and you have been respected by the world for a long time. If you recruit heroes from outside, connect Rong Di in the north, collect Yan and Zhao on the right, cross the river to the south, and occupy the land of Qin and Yong, you will be able to achieve the same great cause as Shang Tang and Zhou Wu. ”
Li Yuan believed it, and then he raised his army. But at that time, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was not dead, and the Qin Tianjian of the Sui Dynasty was still there, much more professional than Tang Jianke. Can't they see that the world is going to belong to Li Tang?
Of course they can't see it, no one can see it. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, anti-kings abounded, and those who were more powerful than Li Yuan were more than ordinary, who knew that Li Yuan could succeed. At the beginning, everyone in the world thought that Li Mi could succeed, but later it was Li Yuan who broke through Chang'an, who could calculate this.
Even Tang Jian, who said this, he didn't calculate it at all. But at that time, there were rebellions all over the world, and it was well known that his Tang family and the Li family were good friends, and if he wanted to assist, he could only assist Li Yuan, so he said such a paragraph.
And did Li Yuan really believe it? Not really. In the end, he still thinks of soldiers, and Tang Jian's words are just an excuse. With this excuse, there will be a note in the history books in the future, I, Li Yuan, were ordered by the sky, not because I want to be a soldier, but because I have to do this to save the people from fire and water.
Liu Bang's beheading of the white snake back then was the same story.
From this, it can be concluded that Li Yuan actually does not believe in the will of heaven, if he really believes in the will of heaven, how can he create the 'Son of Heaven'?
But when Li Yuan ascended the throne, the situation reversed. He began to believe in the will of heaven, because he was already the emperor, and like all the emperors before him, he also wanted the people of the world to feel that he was the son of heaven under the command of heaven. So he had to believe, and he had to believe.
Therefore, Li Yuan set up the Qin Heavenly Prison again, but he knew in his heart that the so-called providence was just to take the blame for the emperor. No, no, but it's useless to take too much attention. Therefore, when Li Yuan was in power, Qin Tianjian was also like now, six people, and when needed, Qin Tianjian came to heaven to send auspicious luck. In case of a comet on his back, Qin Tianjian has to find a way to fool the past, but he can't be fooled, the emperor will make an edict to blame himself, and talk about his own mistakes, which is generally the case.
After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he replaced all the officials of Qintianjian during Li Yuan's reign. He had to change because his dad didn't die, and he was actually usurping the throne. Although he is not a person who believes in the will of heaven, the people believe that he must replace Qin Tianjian with his own people, and try to make the people believe that he is the chosen one, and it is the will of heaven that he usurps the throne.
Yuan Tiangang is known as a person among the gods and is regarded as a man among the gods. So Li Shimin asked him to serve as the Qin Tianjian because he wanted to use his reputation to consolidate his position.
But in fact, they have known each other for a long time. The acquaintance of the two dates back to the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the territory was limited to Guanzhong and Hedong, and it had not yet completely ruled the whole country, and there were anti-kings everywhere, such as Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, etc. It is still too early to say that the world will belong to Li Tang.
Li Shimin led his soldiers and horses to conquer the world, and at this time, Yuan Tiangang's Wangqi technique Xiaocheng was wandering around the stations of various anti-kings, looking for what he thought was the lord of the world.
Life experience, in fact, Yuan Tiangang knew it when he was very young. But he never took it to heart. He became a Taoist priest at a very young age, and he believed in the number of fates, what about the son of Emperor Wen, since he became a Taoist priest in this life, he was the life of a Taoist priest, and it had nothing to do with the emperor's relatives. And when the world was in turmoil, the Sui Dynasty clan was seven or eight out of ten, and he was able to survive because no one knew his life experience, if he had recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors at that time, he might have died a long time ago. In addition, he was abandoned, and his biological mother was killed again, so he had no feelings for the royal family of the Sui Dynasty.
At that time, the anti-kings from all walks of life were fighting against each other, and Yuan Tiangang felt the suffering of the people, so he wanted to find a person who could end the troubled times through what he had learned.
When Li Shimin attacked Wang Shichong, he saw Li Shimin from a distance for the first time. In front of the two armies, Li Shimin's command was determined, and the arrangement of troops was very orderly. When the drum was charged, Li Shimin charged forward again, and he was brave. Yuan Tiangang admired in his heart, and then Wang Shichong was extinguished, Yuan Tiangang pretended to be a homeless person to enter the city, and saw that Li Shimin was strict in governing the army and caring for the people, so he moved his mind.
He waited in the city for three days, and finally let him see Li Shimin up close. Looking at his appearance and his anger, Yuan Tiangang suddenly changed color, and he decided that Li Shimin was the master of the world he was looking for.
But at that time, Li Shimin was young and vigorous, and he didn't believe in divination at all. He also once said to people that the so-called divination and fortune telling are only done by people with bad intentions. Yuan Tiangang couldn't get close to Li Shimin, so he had to follow him secretly and provide him with help within his ability. Because Yuan Tiangang has been mingling among the people, divination, divination, so that he can directly contact the people, so he heard a lot of gossip. He felt that these news might be useful, so he began to deliberately collect them, make friends with local eyes and ears, and secretly deliver news to Li Shimin.
He never left his name, and Li Shimin never knew who the person who delivered the news for him was until before the Xuanwumen Incident.
At that time, Li Shimin was undecided, but Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji had already made up their minds to kill Li Shimin. Wang Hui, a chess piece that Yuan Tiangang had placed in the Prince's Mansion early, overheard the incident and told Yuan Tiangang. The matter was urgent, and Yuan Tiangang took advantage of the night to see Li Shimin and told him the news. Li Shimin didn't believe it at first, and even wanted to kill him. Yuan Tiangang had no choice but to confess to Li Shimin that he had been delivering news all these years. Li Shimin mentioned several things, and Yuan Tiangang answered them one by one, and Li Shimin believed him.
That night, Li Shimin made up his mind, summoned the old department of the Qin Palace, and swore to do it. Before leaving, Yuan Tiangang insisted on stuffing an iron plate to Li Shimin, and told him that he had made a hexagram for today's major events, calculated that Li Shimin was afraid that his life was in danger, and brought this iron plate to protect his chest, which could be prevented. Although Li Shimin felt that there was no need for this, he still listened to him. Then there was a fierce battle in front of the Xuanwu Gate, and this iron plate blocked the cold arrow shot by Li Yuanji, and Li Shimin began to believe in Yuan Tiangang's hexagram.
After the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin summoned Yuan Tiangang alone. Yuan Tiangang told Li Shimin and Panhe, not only told Li Shimin about the 'bad guys' of the intelligence organization he had run for many years, but also told Li Shimin about his own life experience. Li Shimin is a wise monarch in the end, and he has the capacity to tolerate people, not only did he not have trouble because of Yuan Tiangang's identity, but trusted him even more. Let him continue to run the intelligence organization, and at the same time appoint him as the Qin Tianjian.
Before deciding to use troops against the Eastern Turks, Li Shimin asked Yuan Tiangang to write a letter to Princess Wencheng and recognize her. In the name of seeking to restore the country, he won the trust of Princess Yicheng and brought a lot of news. It can be said that Yuan Tiangang is one of the most trusted people by Li Shimin's side. This kind of trust is even more than that of the eldest grandson Wuji, after all, there is a family behind the eldest grandson Wuji, but Yuan Tiangang does not.
But over the years, Yuan Tiangang's role has gradually become smaller. The Tang Dynasty has also pacified the Quartet, and even the Turks have been wiped out, and the need for external espionage intelligence is already very small. Internally, Li Shimin has ascended the throne, and for the important ministers, Yuan Tiangang seems to be a little powerless. For example, the mansions of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Ji and other important ministers have their own domestic servants and personal soldiers. These people are extremely loyal, and it is not impossible to buy them, but it also requires a great price. In case the bribery is not successful, the news is leaked, and there is a risk of causing discord between the monarch and the minister. Therefore, Yuan Tiangang rarely does this kind of thing. Not to mention the family of gate valves, only the people of the descendants are used for important things, and the needle cannot be inserted.
This gatehouse on Li Mu's mansion is an exception. Li Shimin gave 20 slaves to Li Mu, and these 20 slaves were selected by Li Mu himself. Who knew that he had just picked a secret spy from Yuan Tiangang before. This person was originally the master of a local county, and he was used as an official slave by the county order he served, and the news had reached Yuan Tiangang, and when he was about to try to save him, he was selected by Li Mu and left. At first, Yuan Tiangang didn't plan to use this secret spy, until Li Mu revealed his identity, Yuan Tiangang used this secret spy, originally just to find out how Li Mu learned his secret. Now, it seems, there is a greater use.
Because Li Mu is too outstanding, he has planted the seeds of jealousy in Li Shimin's heart. The person installed in his house may be the next Wang Hui one day in the future.
After Yuan Tiangang came to Qin Tianjian, he observed the building of Qin Tianjian and found some places that did not conform to the number of techniques, and after careful investigation, he found the mechanism of the underground palace. It is impossible to know what the purpose of the construction was back then, but now Yuan Tiangang regards this place as the base camp of the bad people he commands. Outside the underground palace, he is the Qintian supervisor, and when he returns to the underground palace, he is the leader of the bad people, the bad handsome.
After listening to the news reported by his subordinates, Yuan Tiangang frowned.
"The roof has fallen...... Suspected of a brain disease? ”
