Chapter 187: A Million Mistress (14)
The news of this accurate prediction of mudslides and heavy rain added another layer of mystery to Liu Xiangu's reputation, so that she did not arrive in the capital, and there was already a legend of her among the high-ranking officials in the capital.
If there is such a person who can predict when and where a disaster will occur, even if she can't read a word, even if her other skills are all fake, she deserves to stay in the capital and be treated as a guest.
Because of the prediction of the post station, the people in the team were more cautious about Liu E.
Every time Liu E appears, she can detect the eyes around her, just like looking at the gods in the sky.
It took a month to walk from Liujia Village to the capital, and Liu E accurately predicted the weather and road conditions three times in this month. The whole team was convinced, and the leader of the team was also convinced by her, admitting her skills and apologizing to her.
Entering the capital, Liu E was greatly shocked.
The walls of the capital are magnificent, at least three meters thick and five meters high, and it looks like you can run horses on the walls.
The tall red city gate is inlaid with round copper nails, and every time it opens and closes, it makes a creaking sound, and it sounds like a sense of history.
The buildings of the capital are flat and magnificent, the ground is paved with blue bricks, and the imperial palace is majestic and magnificent, which is breathtaking.
After entering the capital, Liu E was arranged to live in a special post house, and the two maids and a grandmother around her rearranged her clothes, washed them three times, changed countless sets of clothes and hairstyles, and finally finalized the makeup of the face saint.
The emperor is not so easy to see, how many officials or noble children who come to Beijing to report on their work can only kowtow at the door of the emperor's diligent palace.
Or did the leader of the envoys say that she had a name on the emperor, so she would be given at least a quarter of an hour to face the saints, and she would have to do her best to show her abilities before she could be left in the capital and the officials who sent her to benefit from it.
Otherwise, if you give some money and send it out of Beijing, there will be countless red-eyed people who will beat the water dogs.
It's hard to say what happened to her.
Liu E said she understood.
The date of the face saint was determined, and on this day, she was pulled up from the bed by her grandmother to dress up and dress up, and Liu E estimated that it was usually three or four o'clock.
She was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, so she put a cold towel on her face and suddenly froze and refreshed.
After a long hour of dressing up, the palace sent someone to take her away, Liu Ye Liu Ya and Mama couldn't go, before leaving, Mama recited the etiquette of entering the palace again, Liu E couldn't help nodding to show that she understood.
Entering the palace is a side door, the sky is not yet bright, the fog is green, only the sound of shoes touching the ground, waking up the sleeping birds in the treetops, a hula sound, the birds fly away from the trees, it sounds very infiltrating.
Liu E lowered her head, looked ahead without saying a word out of the corner of her eyes, and couldn't even see the rise and fall of her chest like a dead man's eunuch, feeling a little nervous.
was taken to the door of the Qinzheng Palace, and the eunuch who took her retreated, the weather was very cold, the blue and black roof in the distance looked gloomy in the hazy mist, and the eunuchs and palace maids on duty on the left and right stood respectfully one by one, no one said a word, and they didn't even roll their eyes.
Liu E had no choice but to treat herself as a clay sculpture, emptying her mind and ignoring hunger and cold.
I don't know how long later, the eunuch said that the emperor was going to summon her and invite her in.
Liu E found that the sky was already bright, and the sunlight hit the bright yellow glazed tiles, emitting a dazzling light, and half of her body was in the sun, warm, exhaling a breath of cold air, and followed the eunuch into the palace.
When he entered the hall, he saw only a figure, so he knelt down first.
The emperor's voice came from behind the curtain, majestic and heavy: "You are Liu Xiangu?" ”
Listening to the voice is a four-year-old man who ignores the age.
"Xiaomin Liu E."
"I heard you can predict the weather?"
"With a little understanding, the small people can also predict ground movement and drought and flood disasters."
"Oh? The tone is not small. Then tell me where there is a disaster in Yingguo now. ”
Liu E calculated and said: "A thousand miles to the south, there is a big drought. ”
Seeing that she said without hesitation, the emperor had a map taken to find out where he said the drought had occurred.
Then came an angry rebuke: "You are so bold! Heitu County has always been in good weather, and this year, the prefect has not been affected by the disaster, so he said big things without evidence, how many lives do you have? ”
Liu E said: "Your Majesty is angry, the small people dare not deceive Your Majesty, what the small people see is indeed a drought scene, if Your Majesty does not believe it, send someone to investigate." ”
The voice is calm and the face is not afraid.
The Emperor stepped down from his seat and looked at her: "Raise your head." ”
Liu E lowered her eyes and looked up.
When the emperor saw it, he suspected that this was a beautiful woman offered below, and perhaps the name of Xiangrui was to attract his attention.
With such a beautiful woman, the emperor couldn't bear to let her die.
"You...... Do you want to enter the palace? As long as you enter the palace, the widow will be exempted from your sin of deceit. ”
"Your Majesty, when Xiaomin was enlightened by the gods, he had already made a vow that he would not marry in this life. If I break my oath, the gods will take away the skills given to me. Liu E said respectfully.
The emperor felt a pity: "That's it, I'll give you half a month, if what you say is true, I will spare your life." ”
Liu E knew that the emperor was going to send someone to investigate the truth and truth, and said: "Your Majesty, there is a ground movement for 3,000 miles in the northwest, a waterspout in the south for 4,000 miles, and a dike burst in the Yellow River for 1,000 miles in the southwest. ”
The emperor's face became darker and darker as her words grew, and Liu E felt something in her heart and said, "Your Majesty, there will be a movement in the capital in an hour. ”
Concerned about the safety of his own life, the emperor was shocked: "Is this true? ”
"Your Majesty, Xiaomin is guaranteed by the head of the item."
Liu E's eyes were calm and looked directly at the emperor, and her eyes were unquestionable.
"If your prediction is accurate, I will make you a national teacher, if not, I will make you a national teacher!"
"Your Majesty, what Xiaomin said is not half a word, and I hope that Your Majesty will notify the people as soon as possible and evacuate as soon as possible."
The emperor looked at her fixedly for a while, trying to distinguish what she said was true or false, Liu E knelt there, not afraid at all, and the emperor finally made up his mind to shout: "Liu Quande! ”
A eunuch hurriedly walked to the emperor's side and luggage: "The slave is here." ”
"Did you hear what Liu Xiangu said just now, don't you quickly inform Liugong and Jing Zhaoyin, just say that there is a movement in the capital within an hour, and send troops to help the people evacuate. In addition, you can do the evacuation of the harem yourself! ”
"Yes."
Liu Quande took the order and left.
The emperor walked around the main hall, and Liu E was still kneeling there, with no sadness or joy on her face, and she had a superior demeanor.
The emperor finally remembered her, and said softly, "Get up, give me a seat." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu E thought to herself, is the emperor so bold, and said that there is an earthquake and he will not go out to take refuge.
As a result, a quarter of an hour later, a group of eunuchs came out to say that the tent for the emperor to rest had been set up, and asked the emperor to move.
The emperor walked out surrounded by everyone, and a look asked her to follow, and the eunuchs and palace maids behind him immediately took action to pack up the things in the Qinzheng Palace.
There was an atmosphere of storm in the entire palace at this time, and everyone was walking in small steps, with a slight panic on their faces.
