At the Censorate, Linghu Wujiang helped Yang Benman clean the table and soak the tea, then picked up today's newspaper and read it.

Basically, there are reports on artificial rainfall or His Majesty’s prayer for rain in every newspaper.

It can be said that everyone in Chang'an City knows that something big happened today.

However, Linghu Wujiang thought about the bright sunset outside when he was crowding a public carriage to the Censorate today, so he couldn't understand why it was raining today?

It doesn't look like it's going to rain at all.

"Chief Yang, you also participated in the rain prayer activity at noon today, right?"

When Yang Benman came in from outside as usual, Linghu Wujiang couldn't help but ask.

Although the court held several rain praying activities during this period, the people almost always had various activities to pray for rain.

But this is the first time that it has made the scale so large.

"In Chang'an City, all officials above the seventh rank will attend today's court meeting. Do you think I'll go?"

Yang Benman did not have much confidence in today's rain-seeking activity.

"I heard that His Highness the King of Chu personally arranged for people from the Meteorological Research Institute of Guanshishan Academy to prepare for an artificial rainfall to ensure that this rain prayer activity can have a good result. This matter has been a hot topic now. It seems that there are not many people who believe it, but it seems that there are many people who believe it."

Linghu Wujiang himself belongs to the kind of person who seems to believe that this thing can be accomplished, but he also feels it is unreliable.

Artificial rainfall is something I have never heard of.

If Li Chunfeng or Yuan Tiangang said this, he might have believed it. If it came from Li Kuanzhi's words, he would find it difficult to believe it.

Even though Li Kuan has made so many achievements before and refreshed everyone's perception countless times, Linghu Wujiang still finds it a bit difficult to believe.

"His Highness of the King of Chu can always make some things unexpectedly. I also tend to be able to succeed in this artificial rainfall. However, seeing the rising sun outside, the weather today does not seem to have much change compared to usual, so this makes people worry."

Yang Benman is now completely relieved of the impact of the "Yang Benman account" incident on him.

To be honest, Yang Benman is the most confident outsider in the Chu Palace in the entire Chang'an City.

"I also feel that Guanshishan Academy has been going well over the years, and this time it will probably fall apart. Judging from the lively situation in various newspapers these days, it seems that some people do not believe that Guanshishan Academy Meteorological Research Institute can succeed, so they deliberately made this matter a lot of controversy, as if it will definitely rain heavily today.

If it didn't rain heavily today, it seemed that the Chu Palace did not do things well, and it was the Chu Palace's crime. I don't know if this is my illusion, after all, there are some related reports in the "Da Tang Daily".

Linghu Wujiang is mixed in the Censorate every day, and he still has political sensitivity.

It is easy for him to tell something that is obviously abnormal.

"This is normal. His Highness the King of Chu has brought such a handle to others. People like the Changsun family and the Gao family do not seize this opportunity, they will be sorry for themselves."

Yang Benman did not have any surprise expression after hearing Linghu Wujiang's words.

Obviously, he had already noticed this phenomenon.

But after all, this matter has nothing to do with him. He is just a bystander and can't do anything.

"So, today's rain prayer event is really full of expectations."

...

Today's court meeting was held in Hanyuan Hall of Daming Palace.

This made many ministers feel a little uncomfortable.

There is no way, everyone has adapted to the pace of working in the workshop city.

Now that Li Shimin has temporarily moved back to Daming Palace from the Summer Palace, everyone is really a little uncomfortable.

Not to mention anything else, the officials who finally bought a house in the Soufang City and moved their home from Chang'an City to outside the city would get up early for today's court meeting.

This kind of tossing is enough for them to drink a pot.

The most important thing is to enter the city from the Soufang City. Without time, the city gate will not open.

"Wuji, the sun shines brightly, it makes people feel very happy."

After the court meeting, Gao Shilian and Changsun Wuji walked out of Hanyuan Hall shoulder to shoulder and enjoyed the scenery outside.

Hanyuan Palace is the highest point of the front palace in the Daming Palace.

Standing at the entrance of Hanyuan Palace, you can see clearly the scene around you.

Now, the sun is hanging high in mid-air, releasing its heat, making people unable to feel the imminent rain at all.

"If the personnel from the Meteorological Institute of Guanshishan Academy can implement artificial rainfall under such bright sunshine, then I, Changsun Wuji, would even suggest to Your Majesty that all the personnel in charge of astronomical phenomena in the Taishi Bureau will be recruited from the Meteorological Institute of Guanshishan Academy in the future."

Changsun Wuji's words were very high, but his face was full of smiles.

Obviously, he didn't think that Zhu Tong and Zhu Yin's group of people could bring everyone any surprises today.

Zhu Tong and Zhu Yin, who were not very famous, have been following Li Chunfeng's popularity because of frequent reports in various newspapers these days and are expected to become a new generation of charlatan.

Of course, it is unknown how many of them are waiting to watch the jokes about Shishan Academy.

"It's still Wuji, you are dedicated to the country and are very generous. But I think that if some people want to use rain prayers to seek personal gain for themselves and rely on this matter to improve their fame, then I, Gao Shilian, will definitely not agree."

"It will be revealed in just a few hours. Now we say nothing is meaningful. After the rain prayer event is over, everything will naturally come to light."

When Changsun Wuji saw Fang Xuanling and others walking from behind, he stopped discussing with Gao Shilian.

Instead, he greeted Fang Xuanling very enthusiastically.

"Xuanling, the people of Guanzhong are now looking forward to today's rainfall. But until now, the sun is still shining brightly. The people of the Tang Dynasty are the most simple. As long as they have a bite of food, they will not cause trouble there. Now everyone's food rations are counting on today's heavy rain. If the rain is not settled, it is hard to say whether the people will cause anything."

Fang Xuanling had a very good relationship with the Chu Prince's Mansion, and it was no secret in the court.

Changsun Wuji is now talking to Fang Xuanling like this, and obviously he has something to say.

However, Fang Xuanling couldn't say anything at this time.

"The time has not arrived yet, let's talk about everything after the event is over."

Although Fang Xuanling was a little unhappy that Li Kuan had such hasty statements that he could achieve artificial rainfall.

However, at this moment, he naturally would not criticize Li Kuan with Changsun Wuji.

"Xuanling's words make sense, but I think we should prepare the police officers of Chang'an County and Wannian County Police Stations so that the people will not do anything they want to see in disappointment."

When Changsun Wuji said this, he felt very happy.

I'll make you disgusted me and ask you to arrange me.

Is it okay now?

Then I will let you try the days when you are pointed at.

...

In Xuanzheng Hall, Li Kuan was called to him by Li Shimin.

Li Shimin could get a report as soon as possible if there was any big news in Chang'an City.

This is also a reflection of the emperor's ability to rule.

The more the noise outside was, the less confident Li Shimin was about the rain prayer activities at noon today.

"Kuan'er, tell me the truth. Is this artificial rainfall at the Meteorological Research Institute of Guanshishan Academy reliable? Don't let the rain stop falling when the situation is so heavy, it will be embarrassing. If I can't get out of the stage, it will not be so easy to pass by at that time."

Li Shimin really hoped that Li Kuan's artificial rain would be done, but looking at the calm and bright sunshine outside, his confidence was passing by bit.

Today's rain prayer was the largest rain prayer event he personally took Li Zhi to act together.

If it still doesn't work at all, he feels that he has to consider issuing a self-destruction.

Anyway, in this era, any famine, earthquake, locust plague, etc., is all wrong with him, the Son of Heaven.

"Your Majesty, facts are better than words. No matter how much I say it now, it is useless. The development of science depends on trials and attempts again and again. Only by constantly challenging and constantly trying can science and technology improve.

Soon, the Tang Dynasty Royal Science and Technology Award in the 18th year of Zhenguan will be awarded. At that time, I want to invite Your Majesty to the Guanshishan Academy Lecture Hall to present awards to all the winners and encourage them to continue to study various advanced science and technology."

Li Kuan didn't want to share with Li Shimin how raindrops were formed and what is the theoretical basis for artificial rainfall.

Let's talk about the facts.

Otherwise, if I had been here for a long time, it would be useless.

"I'll talk about this later. I don't have more than half a month anyway. But this artificial rainfall has only a few hours left. Have you really arranged everything?"

"Your Majesty, when did you worry about your affairs?"

Li Kuan's words made Li Shimin speechless.

Why didn't I worry?

I'm not worried now, what are I doing?

I have put a bunch of memorials on my own and called you over to ask questions before I even reviewed them. Isn’t this worrying?

"If artificial rains are successful, Kuan'er, you can do anything. But if it doesn't rain today, even if it's a little drizzle, then I'll have to get along with you."

Seeing that Li Kuan could not ask anything, Li Shimin didn't plan to continue asking.

...

Guanshishan Academy Meteorological Research Institute.

"Brother, just wait for our good news below. I won't need you to drive this hot air balloon, I will use it."
