525 Chapter 525 divine armament
Before following Tuoba SI’s eunuch Qian into the northern Wei Palace, Xia Pingan raised his head and looked at the sky again.
He had been in this world for several years, and in these years, he had been summoned by Tuoba Si to the palace many times to ask about the astronomical phenomena. The results of each time proved that he was right. Tuoba Si was convinced from the bottom of his heart, and the entire Northern Wei regarded him as a god-like existence.
In the sky, the Galaxy was bright, but yinghuo had disappeared.
In the entire capital of Northern Wei, from the Imperial Palace to the mansions of the high ranking officials and nobles, countless people were in their courtyards, crowing like roosters as they stared at the sky, their hearts filled with anxiety.
Yinghuo had suddenly disappeared from the sky last night, and in just a day, rumors had already spread throughout the northern Wei capital. Even tonight, yinghuo was still not in sight, so Tuoba Si once again invited Xia Pingan into the palace to ask if he was right.
Mars was Mars!
The people living in the later generations would probably find it hard to imagine how much importance people in ancient times attached to celestial phenomena.
If the weather forecast, various earthquake disaster warnings, political turmoil, war intelligence, and other factors were added together, their importance would be almost the same as the interpretation of the astronomical phenomena in this era.
In ancient times, the study of astronomical phenomena was called the seven policies. The five planets of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, plus the sun and moon, made a total of seven. The study of the signs of changes in these seven most important celestial bodies was the seven policies.
Those who truly mastered the knowledge of the seven politics were the best of this era.
Lord cui, hurry up. His Majesty is anxious now. eunuch Qian led the way in small steps as he spoke to Xia Pingan in a low voice, ” now, His Majesty trusts Lord cui the most. Last time, it was Lord cui who opposed the move of the capital. The result proved that Lord cui was right. The natural disaster passed quickly and the refugees were settled. The coming year will be smooth. If His Majesty had listened to those people’s nonsense of moving the capital last time, who would be able to live a stable life now? sigh. This yinghuo star is fine, why did it suddenly disappear, causing everyone to be anxious. In just one day, there are all kinds of rumors in the city, and his Majesty did not eat much for dinner today.”
eunuch Qian, you don’t have to worry. This Mars didn’t disappear. It’s just that its trajectory is erratic and sometimes difficult to observe. This omen has nothing to do with our Wei Kingdom, ” Xia Pingan said calmly.
with Lord cui’s words, I’m relieved, hehe. eunuch Qian also let out a sigh of relief.

Soon, eunuch Qian brought Xia Pingan to a garden in the palace.
Tuoba Si was not in the main hall. Instead, he was in the garden with his head raised and his brows furrowed. He was also observing the weather. A few professors and officials from the Directorate of Celestials were standing beside him, trembling with fear.
Yinghuo was an ominous star, and everyone was afraid of the strange phenomenon on yinghuo.
Seeing Xia ping ‘an walk over with a calm expression, Tuoba Si felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. The others also heaved a sigh of relief, as if they had seen their Savior.
When Tuoba Si had asked them about the signs of Ying Huo’s trajectory, no one dared to speak or explain, for fear of being killed if they made a mistake. Now that Lord cui was here, they had nothing to be afraid of. The whole Wei State knew Lord cui’s ability. He had Divine Secrets and was proficient in astronomy and geography. If you didn’t know anything, you could ask Lord cui.
The group of doctors and officials from the Directorate of Celestials hurriedly saluted Xia Pingan. As Xia Pingan walked over, those people automatically retreated and obediently perked their ears to listen.
cui Qing, why did yinghuo disappear in the sky? it’s an ominous star. Is this a bad omen for our Wei country? ” Tuoba Si asked anxiously.
Xia ping ‘an looked at the sky, and his expression became serious. Your Majesty, according to the’ spring and autumn Zuo family’s biography,’God descended to the kun, and on the day of his arrival, each of them was sacrificed. Now that I’ve inferred from the date, the day that yinghuo disappeared was the 18th day of the 19th lunar month, the age of Xinwei. There were dark clouds in the sky. In other words, the disappearance of yinghuo was indeed the arrival of a star of disaster. It’s a bad omen, a very ominous one!”
As soon as Xia ping ‘an said that, the few professors and the officials from the Directorate of Celestials trembled and looked terrified. Tuoba SI’s expression also turned extremely ugly.
“Cui Qing, is there any way to resolve this bad omen?” Tuoba Si hurriedly asked.
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty. The disappearance of yinghuo in Geng and Wei means that this disaster has nothing to do with our Wei. It will shine on the land of Qin, which is the Emperor of the great Qin Empire, Yao Xing. Yinghuo is fire, and it will shine on the land of Qin. Next year, I’m afraid that the land of great Qin will be barren for thousands of miles, and weapons will rise from within. Yao Xing is already old. After this chaos, I’m afraid he won’t have much time left.”
Xia ping ‘an knew that next year, the great Qin Empire would experience a rare drought, and the political situation within the Empire would take a turn for the worse. Rumors spread everywhere, and Yao Xing’s third son, Yao bi, was anxious to seize the position of Crown Prince from his eldest son, Yao Hong, and launched a rebellion. In the end, the rebellion failed, and Yao bi was executed. After the rebellion, great Qin’s vitality was greatly damaged. Yao Xing’s health was originally not good, and with this, his condition suddenly worsened and he died not long after. The fate of the entire great Qin was not much.
Hearing Xia ping ‘an’s words, Tuoba Si heaved a long sigh of relief and finally felt relieved. In this kind of matter, it was better to have nothing to do with him than to have a fellow Daoist die. However, on second thought, Tuoba SI’s face turned serious again and he ordered the people around him, ” you all heard what Lord cui said just now. These words are in the Imperial garden and are not allowed to be spread. Whoever dares to speak too much and let the Empress know, I’ll cut off their heads if I find out who they are.
The people in the garden quickly agreed and didn’t dare to say anything.
Tuoba SI’s Empress was Yao Xing’s daughter. A few years ago, when the rabbit entered the palace, Xia Pingan had divined that Yao Xing would send a Princess over. The next year, great Qin really did send a Princess over.
After that, Tuoba Si waved his hand to let the others leave, leaving Xia Pingan alone in the pavilion in the garden to talk.
“I heard that you got a baby a few days ago. I have not congratulated you yet. In the past two years, you have been getting healthier and healthier. To be honest, there are many concubines in the palace. Although I’m still young, I don’t feel as good as before. Tuoba Si actually started to talk about men’s troubles to Xia Pingan.
Your Majesty, the less one desires, the better one’s health will be. I’ve only suddenly realized this in the past two years. In the past few years, I’ve been racking my brains and writing books. I’ve been penniless and worried about a lot of things. A few years ago, my study caught on fire and my decades of hard work went up in smoke. However, I’ve become more open-minded and put the book down. I’ll leave everything to fate. When I have the time, I’ll go around and read the great works of the world in the mountains, rivers, and Jianghu. My health has improved instead, ” Xia Pingan made up a story.
Tuoba Si shook his head. it’s a pity, a pity. I’ve long heard that the classics annotated by cui Qing is the best in the Wei Kingdom, but I didn’t expect it to be burned down. Then, is the rumor that cui Qing met a strange monk on a trip and was taught a volume of the ‘Mahayana li language’s universal light Scripture’ true? ”
that’s true. That strange monk came and left without a trace. He didn’t say his name from the beginning to the end. Later on, my wife and I visited all the temples, but we didn’t find any trace of that strange monk. Now, I read the ‘Mahayana li character’s Sutras of universal light’ every day. I feel that my secular thoughts have disappeared. My wife and I live in harmony. I don’t care about fame and fortune anymore. Let nature take its course!
Tuoba Si had originally wanted to talk to Xia Pingan about the extermination of Buddhism, but he realized that Cui Hao was completely uninterested in it and had no interest in it. He seemed to be aloof from worldly affairs, so he did not say anything more. However, before Xia Pingan left the palace, he had the eunuch beside him reward Xia Pingan with some silk and silk.
......
Xia ping ‘an returned to his study room. Just as he sat down, the disciple of the cui family, cui Ming, asked to see him.
“Greetings to eldest uncle Zhenzhen.”
“How’s the matter?”
When cui Ming saw that no one was around, he took out a cloth bag from his chest, opened it, and handed it to Xia Pingan. Inside the cloth bag, there was a black iron tube as thick as a thumb.
“How many do you produce in a month?”
according to eldest uncle’s teaching, cui’s workshop could produce 210 iron pipes a month. The farmstead that we recruited from the disaster victims could have a bumper harvest this year. Eldest uncle will gift the farmstead to those disaster victims, who would like to serve cui’s clan at the cost of their lives. The horses selected from those young and strong victims have already entered Xuanji of Xiliang.
Xia Pingan looked at it and nodded slightly. She thought to herself, ” I finally have some power to protect myself.

Everything was as Cui Hao had expected. In the second year, the land of Qin was barren, and Tuoba Si relied on Cui Hao even more.
When Xia Pingan returned to the palace to analyze the astronomical phenomenon for Tuoba Si, a few years had already passed.
In the third year of Taichang, a comet with a long tail streaked across the sky for more than 80 days. The comet came from the star of Tianjin, entered the Tai Wei, passed by the Big Dipper, and swept past the Zi Wei Xuan Ji.
Many people had never seen such a phenomenon in their entire lives, and it caused great fear in the entire Northern Wei. Before this, many people had never seen such a phenomenon in their entire lives.
A group of professors and officials from the Directorate of Celestials flipped through the ancient records and finally saw a record in the Book of Han. Before Wang Mang usurped the throne, a comet flew in and out.
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Si was terrified and summoned Xia Pingan to the palace.
don’t worry, Your Majesty. The ruler of the Wei Kingdom respects his subjects, and the people have no objections. Therefore, this disaster won’t happen in the Wei Kingdom, but in a big country to the South of the Wei Kingdom. That big country has a weak ruler and strong subjects, and a great change is about to happen!
When Tuoba Si heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. The Big Country with weak subjects in the South was Jin. Now, in Jin, Sima Dewen was like a puppet and had reached his limit. Liu Yu’s power was overwhelming, and his achievements surpassed his master’s. His reputation in Jin had reached its peak.
“When will the big change that cui Qing mentioned last?” Tuoba Si asked.
...
“In less than two years!” Xia Pingan replied with certainty.
“I’ve not imagined that Dajin could also walk on this path. In cui Qing’s opinion, how could a country avoid such a disaster?”
“The ancients said that the birth of a man’s disaster is caused by man. There was nothing wrong with a human’s actions, but demons didn’t act on their own. “If a person lacks something, then disasters will appear in the sky. The heavenly events are constant and will not change for hundreds of generations. The blessings and disasters of humans come from the heart. If you want to be free of disasters, you have to constantly cultivate virtue and reflect on yourself. If you do not do anything wrong, you will be free of disasters if you do not let down the people of the world!”
“Cui Qing’s words are great!”
......
After dealing with the situation, Xia Pingan walked out of the palace again.
In the past few years, he had raised a few groups of horse bandits. He had invested a lot in them, but he did not expect that those horse bandits would actually start to make money now. They ran amuck in the Northern Land and plundered wealth. They had become a powerful force in his hands.
Xia Pingan was thinking about whether he should go big and completely change history to gain more divine power. Without any warning, the world of the realm Pearl shattered all of a sudden.
