Chapter 129: Solar Eclipse
Li Shimin and Cheng Yanjin had no way to persuade him, so they had to tell him not to be reckless, just cooperate with the investigation of the imperial court, and at the same time promised him to tell him any clues as soon as possible.
is so capricious as a courtier, it is estimated that there are few people in the world like him except for Wang Dazhui.
Just when Wang Dazhui, Li Shimin and Cheng Yanjin were talking in the Liangyi Palace, the sky outside suddenly darkened.
"What's going on, why is it suddenly so dark outside?" Li Shimin casually asked Guo Ren beside him.
"Back to Your Majesty, it may be that the dark clouds are covering the sun." Guo Ren guessed.
But who knew that as soon as Guo Ren's words fell, the outside became even darker, and in a blink of an eye, it was like night, and he couldn't see his five fingers.
"Hurry up and get outside and see what's going on." Li Shimin immediately commanded.
The eunuchs in the palace hurriedly lit oil lamps and lanterns, and there was light in the room.
Wang Dazhui also felt very strange, and immediately ran into the yard, only to see that it was pitch black outside, black and rumbling, and he couldn't see anything.
"It's still sunny outside, why did it take a while to become like this?" Wang Dazhui muttered to himself.
Li Shimin and Cheng Yanjin also followed, and Guo Ren and a few little eunuchs on the side helped light the lanterns and illuminated them.
"Hey, why is this sun so good?" Cheng Yanjin raised his voice, looked at the dark sky, and asked loudly.
Suddenly, Wang sledgehammer slapped his brain, and understood what was going on, and he thought that he had encountered a rare solar eclipse.
As the saying goes, it's called "Tengu Eclipse Day." ”
Wang Dazhui immediately said to Li Shimin and Cheng Yanjin: "Your Majesty, General Cheng, don't panic, I think I understand what is going on, or the sun will come out soon." ”
"You understand what's going on?" Li Shimin looked at Wang Dazhui and asked suspiciously.
Cheng Yanjin, Guo Ren and the eunuchs in the palace also looked at Wang Dazhui with the same curiosity, wondering what was wrong.
"Your Majesty, this is a celestial phenomenon called a solar eclipse, and in folk parlance, it is called a tengu eclipse day." Wang Dazhui said.
"A solar eclipse, also called a tengu eclipse day?" Cheng Yanjin looked at Wang Dazhui in surprise, and Wang Dazhui nodded affirmatively.
As soon as he heard that it was a solar eclipse, Li Shimin chuckled in his heart, his eyes were dark, and he almost fell to the ground. Thanks to Guo Ren on the side, he quickly supported him, otherwise he would really fall on his heels.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”
Cheng Biting Jin's face suddenly became very ugly, and he hurriedly stepped forward to look at Li Shimin.
Wang Dazhui was jumped by Li Shimin's sudden reaction, and his heart said Isn't it just a solar eclipse, as for such a big reaction?
At this time, everyone's minds were on Emperor Li Shimin, and no one cared about the doubts of Wang Dafei.
Everyone carried Li Shimin to the house, and soon carried Li Shimin to the bed in the house.
"Hurry up and get a doctor!" Cheng Yanjin immediately ordered.
The little eunuch immediately snorted and ran to ask for a doctor, after all, the emperor suddenly fainted, which is not a trivial matter.
Soon the imperial doctor was invited, and he hurriedly examined Li Shimin's body, and after some diagnosis, he found that he was only overly frightened for a while, resulting in a coma.
Everyone else is busy treating Li Shimin, but Wang Dazhui is good, and he is still enjoying the rare spectacle of the solar eclipse alone.
The eclipse was not long, and the whole process was only about five or six minutes, and when Wang Dazhui enjoyed the whole process of the eclipse, Li Shimin also came to his senses under the treatment of the imperial doctor.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Cheng Yanjin hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"I ...... It's okay. Li Shimin spoke a little weakly.
Cheng Yanjin knew that Li Shimin was frightened by the solar eclipse, and immediately comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the solar eclipse has passed and the sun has come out." ”
Li Shimin glanced outside and found that the sky was really bright, and his heart gradually calmed down.
"Immediately send someone to Zhongnanshan to invite Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, the two national teachers, and say that I have something important."
When Guo Ren heard this, he immediately ordered someone to be sent to invite Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng.
"In addition, call all the ministers of the court and the central government to me immediately. Let them enter the palace immediately, and there shall be no mistake. ”
"And General Cheng, you immediately take my will to the forbidden army camp, Yulin Guard, and patrol battalion, let them strengthen patrols, and report anything they find immediately."
As soon as Li Shimin woke up, he immediately gave a series of orders.
……
At the moment when the solar eclipse appeared, the entire city of Chang'an fell into darkness.
At the same time that Li Shimin fainted, the common people in Chang'an City were also frightened by the sudden celestial phenomenon of "Tengu Eclipse Sun", and they took out pots and pans from their homes and beat them vigorously, trying to drive away the Tengu who had eaten the sun.
"Everyone, hurry up and knock hard, and get rid of the sun-eating tengu!" Someone ran and shouted.
"Knock knock! Knock knock! ”
In an instant, the whole world, wherever you can see the solar eclipse, can hear the sound of people banging on pots and pans.
Modern people know that solar eclipses are actually a natural phenomenon, but in the eyes of ancient people, solar eclipses often symbolized misfortune and calamity. Therefore, when the dog eating day comes, the common people will beat the pots and pans together in an effort to get rid of the tengu and drive it away.
In ancient times, there was a saying: "If the dog swallows the sun, the grain will not come out." ”
This means that if there is a "solar eclipse" in a given year, the grain production for that year will be reduced or even eliminated. At the same time, there will be very terrible disasters.
In addition, there is a saying that if the celestial phenomenon of "Tengu Eclipse Day" occurs, it means that the current imperial court has provoked the wrath of the heavens, and the vision from the sky is to warn.
The ancients paid attention to the "induction of heaven and man", to put it simply: people are doing, the sky is watching, there are rewards for doing well, and there are punishments for doing bad, and solar and lunar eclipses, including various astrological anomalies, are signals from God!
In ancient times, the appearance of a solar and lunar eclipse was a very serious thing, especially for the emperor, who claimed to be the son of heaven and was ordered by the sky, and the sky was your leader, and the appearance of the solar and lunar eclipse showed that the leader was not satisfied with your work, and you had to show an attitude and correct it immediately.
There was a solar eclipse, and the reason why Li Shimin fainted on the spot was because he also took this solar eclipse as a warning from heaven to him, thinking that he had done something bad, and God was angry.
Some people may say that Li Shimin's courage is too small, right? Just one solar eclipse turned out to be half scared to death.
Astronomy in ancient society was not developed enough, and the ancients could not understand many astronomical phenomena, so some strange astronomical phenomena would make people associate with good signs and bad signs. In ancient times, many historical books recorded the occurrence of solar eclipses, and solar eclipses were often regarded as bad omen, and the emperor, as the king of a country, was very afraid of the appearance of solar eclipses.
It's the New Year soon
