Chapter 573 Ominous Omen?(2/2)
In the Xuanzheng Hall, the joyful atmosphere just now disappeared all of a sudden.
Neither Fang Xuanling nor Changsun Wuji believed in the theories of ghosts and gods.
However, everyone has heard the rumors about the comet as a thorn in the side.
Judging from the circumstances recorded in history books, the appearance of comets does seem to bring unknown consequences.
The most important thing is that everyone has no way to explain what is going on with comets, so they can only tend to believe in these things.
"Your Majesty, although the words of General Li Shilang cannot be fully believed, we must not disbelieve them. However, the Tang Dynasty is in the east, and there are no wars or disasters. What kind of disaster will happen is a bit confusing.
"
Fang Xuanling looked around and felt that she had to say something.
"The east side of the Tang Dynasty is relatively stable, but if you continue to the east, it is the sea. The East China Sea fishery is in the Japanese country, and it is on the sea. There have been a lot of troubles in recent years. Does the east that Li Jiangshilang refers to?
What about the sea?"
Changsun Wuji expressed his views with profound meaning.
Anyway, everyone is just speculating now, and his statement is not unreasonable.
"Li Chunfeng, where do you think the disaster will come from?"
Li Shimin frowned and looked at Li Chunfeng.
From Yuan Tiangang to Li Chunfeng, Li Shimin still tends to believe in some of their special abilities.
Especially as he grows older and his ambitions have basically been realized, Li Shimin's views on some things are also slowly changing.
Just like the First Emperor of Qin and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, no matter how great they were in their early years, they would inevitably end up looking for elixirs and favoring witchcraft in their later years.
Although Li Shimin's changes are not obvious yet, his ambition to make progress is still not as good as before.
That is to say, there is still one Goguryeo that has not been destroyed, otherwise he would probably have to imitate Qin Shihuang.
"Your Majesty, I am ashamed. I watched the sky last night and discovered the appearance of a comet. I have been making calculations, but so far I have no clue."
Li Chunfeng answered with a grimace.
If Li Kuan were here, he would definitely say: Nonsense, of course it can't be calculated. The appearance of this comet is just a natural phenomenon in astronomy. Where can such a complicated explanation come from?
"Your Majesty, I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Chu arranged for someone to build an observatory at Guanshi Mountain Academy. The craftsmen in the glass workshop specially made a so-called astronomical telescope. It seems that it should be completed in the next few days. Do you want to let me know?
Li Jiangshilang went to the observatory of Guanshishan Academy to have a look, is it possible to get a clearer picture of the comet?"
Li Zhong is in charge of Baiqisi, so he is naturally better informed.
"observatory?"
Li Shimin was a little confused as to why Guanshishan Academy built an observatory.
Aren't these things what the Taishi Bureau should do?
"That's right, it's an observatory used to observe celestial phenomena."
"What is the astronomical telescope used for? Is it any different from the telescopes we usually use?"
"There should be a difference, but the specific situation may need to be confirmed with His Royal Highness the King of Chu. The information that Weichen learned is that the astronomical telescope has been installed a few days ago. It is said that the person in charge of this telescope is the one who obtained the Royal Highness of the Tang Dynasty.
Chen Dali, winner of the Science and Technology Award."
Li Zhong was a little lucky. Fortunately, when he first heard about the observatory, he arranged for someone to learn more about it, otherwise it would be difficult to answer.
However, he regretted that he talked too much.
If Li Shimin continued to ask more questions, he would not be able to answer.
"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, the person in charge of this observatory seems to be the eldest son of General Li's family."
After Li Zhong finished speaking, he glanced at Li Chunfeng.
Li Chunfeng was also a little depressed when he heard the news reported by Li Zhong and Li Shimin.
My son built an observatory and astronomical telescope at Guanshishan Academy, but I didn’t know anything about it.
How embarrassing is this?
I only have one son.
Should we consider taking a concubine again?
"Li Chunfeng, you should go to Guanshishan Academy soon and see if this observatory can give you some help."
