Chapter 854

It's only more than 200 miles from Xuzhou to Zhengzhou. It can be reached by fast horse in half a day.

The memorial of Li forgetting sorrow was placed on the desk of Li Er's temporary trip in Zhengzhou that day.

After reading the memorials sent by Li forgetful, Li Er could not help but frown and hesitated for a while before ordering someone to invite Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, eldest sun Wuji and other leaders of the court hall to discuss the matter.

The people circulated Li's memorials, and they all looked surprised and suspicious.

"Your Majesty, according to Ziyou's Memorial, three days later, jiazishuo will have an epidemic ghost swallowing the sun. It's incredible. Can the Taoist ancestor really give Ziyou a dream?"

"I believe what Ziyou said. Although it seems absurd, based on my understanding of Ziyou, he can't joke with his majesty like this."

"Yes, although I don't know where the Marquis of Huxian knows that there will be epidemic ghosts swallowing the sun, the Marquis of Huxian is not a reckless person. Since he dares to present a memorial to his majesty, he should be sure."

Several leaders read the memorial. Although they couldn't believe the content, they reluctantly believed it out of their trust in Li forgetful.

Li Er was even more silent.

For the so-called dream of Taoist ancestors, this excuse has been used to deceive Li Er several times. Although he doesn't believe it, he can only choose to believe it.

What made Li Er speechless was that Li forgot to worry about the epidemic in Xuzhou and made it clear to him that it was not a plague ghost, but an infectious disease caused by virus infection.

As a result, it's only a few days. Why has the goods changed its mouth again?

In the memorials, they not only claimed that it was the plague ghost, but also dared to predict that there would be a plague ghost swallowing the sun in three days.

It's not a small thing.

Although Li forgets worry very skillfully to replace the dog eating the day with the plague ghost swallowing the day, I'm afraid it's hard to convince the public.

"Your Majesty, if it's true that Ziyou played, you need to tell the ministers about it as soon as possible, so as not to cause waves in the court."

"I seconded that, no matter whether it is true or false, your majesty should inform the world of the memorial of Huxian Hou, so as to reassure the people."

Fang Xuanling twisted his beard, meditated for a while and said uncertainly, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, the purpose of Ziyou's move may be to burn the body."

"Oh? What did Xuanling say?" Li Er didn't understand.

"Your Majesty, as Ziyou said before, the epidemic is caused by an invisible virus. I think if it is true, there may be a large number of viruses in the corpses of those patients who died of illness. Therefore, Ziyou ordered to burn the corpses to prevent the virus from harming the people. But your majesty also knows that it is very difficult for the people to burn the corpses Therefore, according to the minister's guess, Ziyu was afraid that he also used this matter to frighten the people so that they could agree to burn the bodies died of the epidemic. "

Fang Xuanling is worthy of being Li Er's chief counselor. He soon guessed his real ideas from Li forgetting his worries.

Hearing the speech, Li Er nodded slightly and recognized Fang Xuanling's guess.

However, the key to this matter lies in whether Li forget you said in the memorial that three days later, jiazishuo had a plague ghost swallowing the sun. Is it true or false.

"Your Majesty, no matter whether it is true or false, now you can only treat it as true. Otherwise, if your majesty doesn't tell the courtiers about it, if there is a plague ghost swallowing the sun in three days, it will be even more troublesome."

Sun Wuji's words were also recognized by Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

Although people don't understand why Li forget you dare to be so sure that there will be a solar eclipse in three days, since Li forget you has solemnly presented a memorial, it can't be regarded as not knowing.

Li Er hesitated slightly: "but if there is no plague ghost swallowing the sun three days later..."

His meaning was clear, but he was also worried about his disobedient nephew because he was criticized for it.

Fang Xuanling looked at each other, bowed to Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to come to Ziyou, you should be sure, otherwise how can you go to this memorial. If there is no epidemic ghost swallowing the sun in three days, it can only be Ziyou's own responsibility. Your majesty, Ziyou, after all, as a Marquis of founding county and an envoy of Henan Province, he should be responsible for his words and deeds."

Li Er hesitated and finally nodded in recognition of Fang Xuanling's words. He ordered people to summon a group of Ministers who came to Zhengzhou with him, read out the memorial presented by Li forgetful sorrow in public.

The ministers were all in an uproar when they heard that Li forgot worry dared to speak and said that there would be a plague ghost swallowing the sun three days later.

Taichang Qing and Wang Ying immediately spoke out.

"Your Majesty, Huxian Hou's words are really misleading! How can he dare to assert that what epidemic ghosts will swallow the sun in three days? There is no news from the Taishi bureau about such a major event as the solar eclipse. How does he know? According to the old minister, this is nonsense."

The Taishi Bureau in Wang Ying's mouth is the imperial celestial supervisor of future generations. It is responsible for observing celestial phenomena, calculating solar terms and formulating calendars.

In the Qin and Han Dynasties, he became a eunuch. In the early Tang Dynasty, he was renamed the Taishi Bureau. Later, he was renamed Secretary Pavilion, huntian Supervision Institute, Hunyi supervisor and Si Tiantai several times.

Predicting solar eclipses is naturally the responsibility of the Pacific history Bureau.

However, in an era when astronomy is not yet perfect, it is even more difficult to predict solar eclipses, especially accurately.

The Taishi bureau is even more afraid to predict the occurrence of solar eclipses at will. After all, if the prediction is wrong, it will lose its head.

This is why Li forgot to worry about this memorial, which made Li Er hesitate.

Even if Li forgets to worry and predicts wrong, Li Er will not cut off his head, but the punishment of cutting Jue and punishing copper is certain.

As for his Henan Taoist dethroning Zhishi, he can't go on.

Before Li Er spoke, Yuchi Jingde jumped out first, pointed to Wang Ying's nose and scolded, "how do you know that there will be no solar eclipse in three days? If the plague ghost swallows the sun, what should you say? Do you dare to make a written note. If there is a solar eclipse, you will apologize and resign?"

"You..." Wang Ying was offended by Yuchi Jingde's words and didn't know how to reply. He didn't know whether there would be a solar eclipse in three days, and he wouldn't gamble with Yuchi Jingde on his future.

Li Er patted the armrest of the throne, stood up and looked around at the officials.

"Well, don't discuss this matter again. I believe the Marquis of Huxian County won't joke about it. Send a message to tell Chang'an and the world quickly, so as to reassure the people, so as not to be haunted by the epidemic ghost!"

Li Er's move is to support Li forget his worries.

If the eclipse doesn't appear three days later, it's not just Li Lianyou who will be criticized.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and eldest sun Wuji looked at each other, but they didn't persuade them any more. Qi Qi bowed down.

Three days later, jiazishuo in April of the fourth year of Zhenguan.

Early in the morning, Li Er changed into a plain clothes, avoided living in the side hall, and began to wait anxiously with the ministers
