Thank you Wang Wangshun for asking for the reversal of the seal, book friends for 20180217200813546 reward support, and thank you to all book readers.
Prison in court.
It was almost noon, and there was a sound of footsteps outside the prison door. Then, the chains on the cell door rattled.
Li Chunfeng knew that his limit had arrived, and he was about to become an immortal. He himself suddenly felt that the so-called Feather Ascension Immortal should be fake, otherwise, why would he be afraid of death?!
At this time, a prison guard came in with several jailers.
The prison was very polite to Li Chunfeng and said, "Daochang Li, I have wronged you. After speaking, several jailers stepped forward and shackled Li Chunfeng.
Li Chunfeng suddenly wanted to see his family, but he didn't want to see them sad, so he thought about it and forgot it.
Under the escort of the jailer, Li Chunfeng was released from the prison.
The executions of prisoners in Chang'an were generally carried out in the east and west markets, and the execution of Li Chunfeng was to be carried out in front of the Suzaku Gate this time.
Li Chunfeng is not an ordinary prisoner, Li Shimin has to personally supervise and behead in order to announce the world.
Therefore, Si Prison and others took him to the gate of the prison and handed him over to the emperor's pro-army Qianniuwei.
Soon after, the guards of Qianniuwei escorted Li Chunfeng into a carriage and took him outside the Suzaku Gate. Because noon had not yet arrived, Li Chunfeng was inconvenient to show up, so he was temporarily hidden in the carriage.
Li Shimin and the ministers all stood on the Suzaku Square outside the gate, waiting for the arrival of noon.
Because there was also a gambling game involved, for the sake of justice, next to the sundial used to keep time on the castle tower, several imperial historians were responsible for telling the time.
At the moment, there is less than a quarter of time left until noon.
Time passed minute by minute, and it seemed that the time was almost up. But the sun was still blazing in the sky.
Everyone has different mentalities, some are looking forward to the time to pass quickly, and some are looking forward to the time being slower, in short, everyone is very nervous, and time feels very slow.
The royal historians who were in charge of telling the time on the castle tower had to tell the time every minute, and the atmosphere became more and more tense.
At the moment, there is still not a single cloud in the sky.
The time was finally approaching, and the Imperial Historians reported the last minute and began the countdown.
Yin Hongzhi, Cheng Yanjin and other people who bought Li Youying cried and mourned one by one, knowing that their money had flew.
Li Tai and others were overjoyed.
Wei Zheng was very calm, and said in his heart: "It seems that the money won belongs to the money that came from the wrong way, and it still has to be returned." In the future, I will never participate in gambling activities again. ”
Li Shimin's face was extremely ugly, and he was ready to deal with the worst situation between the government and the opposition.
Li Chengqian was extremely depressed, and originally wanted to make meritorious contributions, which was good, but he had planted a big heel.
Li You was also a little dumbfounded, closed his eyes, and prayed for the gods' protection. However, he is a good materialist young man, and he is temporarily clinging to Buddha's feet, and he doesn't know which way to ask for immortals.
Li Chunfeng was in the carriage, and when he heard that the last time was approaching, he took a deep breath and prepared to be generously feathered and ascended to immortal.
At this moment, something strange happened, and the imperial history on the city tower stopped telling the time, but looked at the sky in a daze one by one.
As if he had seen a ghost, Li Yan pointed to the sky and shouted, "Clouds, clouds, there are dark clouds." ”
As he spoke, the sky "rumbled" with the sound of rolling thunder.
Everyone was stunned as if they had seen a ghost.
A large area of dark clouds rolled, the black pressed swept over, the sky was dark, and soon, just above Chang'an City, there was a "click", and the earth-shaking thunder sounded.
Immediately afterward, the rain fell heavily.
Li Shimin was ecstatic in his heart, opened his arms, and shouted loudly towards the sky: "God bless Datang, God bless Datang!" ”
The ministers all knelt down and shouted in unison: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" ”
Li Chengqian was very happy, his face was wet, and he didn't know if it was rain or tears.
Li Tai was dumbfounded, he stood in the heavy rain, and he also forgot to dodge, letting the rain wash over his body.
Suddenly, he remembered something and shouted loudly: "Li You, you still lost, where is the auspicious fortune from the sky that you said?" He was referring to what Li You said about fish in the sky.
At this moment, a black spot in the sky fell, and the black spot became bigger and bigger, and smashed on Li Tai's head.
When everyone saw it, they couldn't help laughing, it turned out to be a king.
Then, all kinds of fish, shrimp, turtles, and turtles fell down cracklingly.
At this moment, Li You stood tall in the heavy rain.
Everyone looked at Li You, all looking up, and their admiration was gushing like heavy rain.
……
Why did Li You predict this heavy rain so accurately?
It turned out that in the local chronicle that Li You saw last time, the date of rain recorded was June 29, but there was no rain that day. After Li You went back, he was not convinced, studied carefully, and found that he had seen it wrong.
The calendar adopted in the Tang Dynasty has undergone many revisions, and there are more than ten kinds of calendars in chronological order, such as "Kaihuang Calendar", "Huangji Calendar", "Wuyan Calendar", "Qide Calendar", "Guangzhai Calendar", "Zhengyuan Calendar", "Observation Calendar" and so on.
Li You saw that June 29 was recorded by the late Tang Dynasty using the "Observation Calendar", and the time Li You is now in is recorded by the "Imperial Calendar". It happens to be today, July 2nd.
Just as Li You analyzed, the records of major events in history have been strictly recorded by countless historians, and they should be very accurate.
The impact of the 10-year drought in Zhenguan was so great that as a sign of ending the catastrophe that killed hundreds of thousands of people, the time of the heavy rain would be extremely accurate.
This heavy rain was accompanied by a tornado, which rained down fish and shrimp in the Chang'an area, which is a rare occurrence and is very well documented.
Next, it's a good time for Li Chunfeng.
Seeing that it was really raining, Qianniuwei's people hurriedly removed the shackles for Li Chunfeng and put on the Taoist robe that had been prepared a long time ago.
Li Chunfeng was ecstatic in his heart, risking being stoned to death by the fish and turtles in the sky, and ran to the center of the square with his head held high and strides.
When Li You saw that the main lord was coming, he consciously retreated to the crowd and gave up the field to Li Chunfeng.
Li Chunfeng stood in front of everyone, arched his hands to the sky, and shouted excitedly: "Disciple Li Chunfeng thanks Taishang Laojun and thanks the Dragon King of the East China Sea for his mercy. ”
When Li Shimin saw it, he also hurriedly saluted to the sky. Naturally, the ministers saluted along.
The rain poured down, and most of the ministers' tears rolled down with the rain, and they were excited and sad, excited that the people were saved and the world was stable. It's sad that I lost my money. They looked at Li You's unsparing figure, and deeply regretted it, why did they bet with this demon?
Wei Zheng was even more excited, he was worried about the country and the people, and saw that the drought was finally over. He burst into tears, ignored it, and let the tears roll down.
Suddenly, he felt a pain in his heart, and then he remembered that he had only bet half of the bet, and he was distressed!
This heavy rain came in time, and all doubts about Li Shimin were washed away by the rain. Li Shimin's prestige has risen to a new level.
Li Shimin has been favored by God, and he is more energetic and more confident to create an unprecedented and prosperous era of Zhenguan.
Li You looked at Li Shimin's tall back, but there was a trace of fear in his heart.
Li Shimin was very superstitious in his later years, and he also learned from Qin Shi Huang to ask for immortals, trying to live forever, and finally died of the pill that Wang Xuance brought back from India.
Li You really wanted to tell Li Shimin the truth, but now was never the time. The people need an object of worship, and Li Shimin is the god in their hearts. Zhenguan Shengshi needs cohesion with Li Shimin as the core.
The future, let's talk about the future.
Li You didn't think much about it anymore, and saluted to the sky with Li Shimin.
