Chapter 32 The Omen of Brain Destruction

The Imperial Heaven Supervisor observed the celestial phenomena, calculated the solar terms, and formulated the calendar. The ancients believed that changes in the celestial phenomena directly corresponded to personnel changes, so the status of the Imperial Heaven is very important. The Imperial Heaven Supervisor has one supervisor and one chief clerk. The five senses are correct in spring, summer, mid-autumn and winter. In addition, there are also the five senses Lingtai Lang, the five senses are guaranteed to be the correct in the five senses, the five senses are guaranteed to be the correct in the five senses, the five senses are correct in the six departments.

But in fact, in addition to Yuan Tiangang, today's Imperial Heavenly Prison only has the necessary features in spring, summer, mid-autumn and winter. There are six people in total, and none of them have more. The reason is very simple, one word is poor.

The Tang Dynasty had just established its country, and there were too many places that needed money. Li Shimin was a pragmatic emperor. On the one hand, he was on military and civilian livelihood, and on the other hand, he asked God for advice. Naturally, he had to spend money in a more practical place.

Not only Li Shimin, but also did this when Li Yuan was in power.

The emperor's view of the will of heaven is very contradictory. Take Li Yuan as an example. When he wanted to raise an army, he was hesitant. At this time, Tang Jian made a guest appearance in the Imperial Heavenly Prison and said to Li Yuan: "You have a Sun-horned Dragon Court, and your surname is in line with the prophecy. It has been the hope of the world for a long time. If you recruit heroes from outside, connect Rongdi in the north, and take Yan, Zhao in the right, cross Henan and south, and occupy the Qin and Yong lands, you will definitely achieve the same great cause as Shang Tang and Zhou Wu."

Li Yuan believed it, and then he raised an army. But at that time, Emperor Yang of Sui was not dead, and the Imperial Heavenly Prison of the Sui Dynasty was still there, which was much more professional than Tang Jian. Can't they see that the world will belong to Li Tang?

Of course they couldn't see it, and no one could see it. There were many rebels at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and those who had greater power than Li Yuan were invincible. Who knew that Li Yuan could succeed? At first, people in the world thought that Li Mi could succeed, but later Li Yuan conquered Chang'an, who could calculate this.

Even Tang Jian, who said this, did not calculate it at all. But at that time, all over the world were rebelling, and it was well known that the Tang family and the Li family had good friends. If he wanted to assist, he could only assist Li Yuan, so he said this.

Did Li Yuan really believe it? Not all. He still wanted to start a military service by himself. Tang Jian's words were just an excuse. With this excuse, he would write a note in the history books in the future. Li Yuan was ordered by heaven. It was not that I wanted to start a military service, but that I had to do this to save the people from water and fire.

The same story happened when Liu Bang killed the white snake.

From this we can conclude that Li Yuan actually does not believe in God's will. If he really believes in God's will, how could he create the rebellion of the "Son of Heaven"?

But when Li Yuan ascended the throne, the situation turned around. He began to believe in the will of God, because he was already the emperor. Like all the emperors before, he also wanted people all over the world to feel that he was the emperor who was ordered by God. So he had to believe it, and had to believe it.

Therefore, Li Yuan set up the Imperial Heavenly Prison again, but he knew in his heart that the so-called will of heaven is just to take the blame for the emperor. No, but it is useless to pay too much attention. Therefore, when Li Yuan was in power, the Imperial Heavenly Prison was like this now. When six people needed it, the Imperial Heavenly Prison would bring auspiciousness from the sky. If you carry a comet at a time, the Imperial Heavenly Prison would have to find a way to fool it. If you really can't fool it, the emperor issued a self-criticism and talked about his own faults. This is basically the case.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he replaced all the officials of the Imperial Heavenly Prison when Li Yuan was in power. He had to replace it because his father did not die, and he actually usurped the throne. Although he was not a person who believed in God's will, the people believed that he had to replace the Imperial Heavenly Prison with his own people and tried every means to make the people believe that he was the chosen one of God, and it was the will of God's Prison.

Yuan Tiangang has a reputation among the people and is regarded as a god among the gods. So Li Shimin asked him to serve as the Imperial Heaven Supervisor in order to use his reputation to consolidate his position.

But in fact, they had known each other for a long time. The acquaintance of the two can be traced back to the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, its territory was limited to Guanzhong and Hedong, and it had not yet fully ruled the country. There were anti-kings everywhere, such as Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, etc. It would be too early to say that the world would belong to Li Tang.

Li Shimin led his troops to fight the world, and at this time, Yuan Tiangang's qi-seeking technique was small and was wandering around the garrisons of various anti-kings, looking for what he believed to be the lord of the world.

Yuan Tiangang knew his life experience when he was very young. But he never took this matter to heart. He became a Taoist priest at a very young age and believed in fate. So what about the son of Emperor Wen? Since he became a Taoist priest in this life, he was the Taoist priest's life and had nothing to do with the royal relatives. Moreover, when the world was in chaos, the royal family of the Sui Dynasty was gone for seven or eight, and he was able to survive because no one knew his life experience. If he had recognized his ancestors at that time, he might have died long ago. In addition, he was abandoned and his biological mother was killed, so he had no feelings for the Sui Dynasty royal family.

At that time, all the anti-kings and kings fought against each other endlessly. Yuan Tiangang felt deeply distressed the people, so he wanted to find someone 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 was as determined as he was in command, and the troops were arranged in a very orderly manner. When the drums were used to charge, Li Shimin charged forward again, and was brave enough. Yuan Tiangang admired him in his heart, and then Wang Shichong was destroyed. Yuan Tiangang pretended to be a refugee and went into the city. Seeing that Li Shimin was strict in his army and cared for the people, he became interested.

He waited in the city for three days and finally let him see Li Shimin up close. Looking at his appearance and his aura, Yuan Tiangang suddenly changed his expression. He believed that Li Shimin was the lord of the world he was looking for.

However, Li Shimin was young and energetic at that time, and did not believe in divination at all. He once told people that the so-called divination and fortune-telling were things that only people with bad intentions would do. Yuan Tiangang could not get close to Li Shimin, so he had to follow him secretly and provide him with the best of his ability. Since Yuan Tiangang had been lying among the people, fortune-telling and fortune-telling so that he could directly contact the people, he heard a lot of rumor. He felt that these news might be useful, so he began to deliberately collect, make friends with local people, and secretly convey the news to Li Shimin.

He never left his name, and Li Shimin never knew who the person who passed the message to him was until before the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

At that time, Li Shimin was undecided, but Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji had already made up their minds to kill Li Shimin. Yuan Tiangang, a chess piece that Yuan Tiangang was planted in the prince's mansion, eavesdropping on the incident and telling Yuan Tiangang. The matter was urgent, Yuan Tiangang came to see Li Shimin while the night was dark and told him the news. Li Shimin didn't believe it at first, and even wanted to kill him. Yuan Tiangang had to confess to Li Shimin that he had been passing on the news over the years. Li Shimin mentioned several things, and Yuan Tiangang answered one by one, and Li Shimin believed him.

That night, Li Shimin made up his mind to summon the old subordinates of the Qin Palace and swore a swearing to take action. Before leaving, Yuan Tiangang insisted on stuffing a piece of iron plate to Li Shimin and told him that he had a divination for today's major event, and calculated that Li Shimin might be in danger of life. He brought this piece of iron plate to protect his chest, so he could prevent accidents. Although Li Shimin felt that there was no need for this, he still listened to him. Then the fierce battle in front of Xuanwu Gate, and this iron plate blocked the cold arrow shot by Li Yuanji, and Li Shimin began to believe in Yuan Tiangang's divination technique.

After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin summoned Yuan Tiangang alone. Yuan Tiangang told Li Shimin that he not only told Li Shimin about the "bad person" that he had run for many years, but also told Li Shimin that his life experience was also told to Li Shimin. After all, Li Shimin was a wise monarch and tolerant. Not only did he not have any grudges because of Yuan Tiangang's identity, he trusted him more because of this. He asked him to continue to run the intelligence organization and appointed him as the Imperial Heaven Supervision.

Before deciding to use troops against the Eastern Turks, Li Shimin asked Yuan Tiangang to write a letter to Princess Wencheng and recognize him. In the name of seeking to restore the country, he gained 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 around Li Shimin. This kind of trust is even greater than that of Changsun Wuji. After all, there is a family behind Changsun Wuji, but Yuan Tiangang does not.

However, over the years, Yuan Tiangang's role has gradually become smaller. The Tang Dynasty has pacified all directions, and even the Turks have been destroyed, and the demand for external spy on intelligence has been very small. Internally, Li Shimin has ascended the throne, and Yuan Tiangang seems a little powerless to do anything about all the important officials. For example, Changsun Wuji, Li Ji and other important officials have their own servants and personal soldiers. These people are extremely loyal. It is not impossible to bribe them, but it also takes a great price. If the bribery is not successful and the news is leaked, there is a risk of disagreement between the monarch and the minister. Therefore, Yuan Tiangang rarely does this kind of thing. Not to mention the family family, only the direct people are not inserted into the needle.

The gatehouse in Li Mu's mansion is an exception. Li Shimin gave 20 slaves to Li Mu, who chose these twenty slaves by Li Mu himself. Who knew that he had just picked a secret spy from Yuan Tiangang. This person was originally a magistrate from a county in the local area, and was implicated by the county magistrate he served and was appointed as an official slave. The news had already reached Yuan Tiangang. He was about to rescue him, but he was chosen by Li Mu. At first, Yuan Tiangang did not intend to use this secret spy, but until Li Mu pointed out his identity, Yuan Tiangang activated this secret spy, originally just to find out how Li Mu learned his secret. Now it seems that it has a greater use.

Because Li Mu was too outstanding, he had planted the seeds of fear in Li Shimin's heart. The person who was planted in his house might be the next king of kings one day in the future.

Under the Sitiantai of the Imperial Heavenly Prison, there is an underground palace that has been abandoned for many years. After Yuan Tiangang came to the Imperial Heavenly Prison, he observed the buildings of the Imperial Heavenly Prison and found some places that were not in line with the numerology. After careful investigation, he found the mechanism of the Imperial Heavenly Prison. What was the purpose of the construction back then was no longer verified. Now Yuan Tiangang regards this place as the base camp of the bad people he commands. Outside the underground palace, he is the supervisor of the Imperial Heavenly Prison. When he returns to the underground palace, he is the leader of the bad people and the bad general.

After listening to the news from his subordinates' reports, Yuan Tiangang frowned.
