Yang Qian did not stay in the room for too long. Yuan Tiangang came over to talk to him. His senior brother, Li Chunfeng, also came over.
"Why did Junior Brother suddenly tell His Majesty that there would be a locust plague? Master and I can't understand this point. Please enlighten me, junior brother!”
The one who spoke was Li Chunfeng.
He didn't know Yang Qian's true identity, so he didn't have any respect in his heart. His tone was very direct.
Yuan Tiangang stroked his long beard and nodded slightly. He also wanted to know the answer to this question.
Yang Qian didn't care about Li Chunfeng's attitude.
According to the classification of later generations, Li Chunfeng's position should be a researcher. He had an upright personality and was passionate about investigating the truth. It was understandable.
"This has to start from the habits of locusts…"
Yang Qian said calmly," Locusts like to reproduce in large numbers in dry environments. This is their nature…And the nature of drought is drought and lack of water. Therefore, it is foreseeable that a locust plague will occur after a drought.”
Of course, there was another reason why he couldn't confess. Yang Qian knew a lot of Tang Dynasty history.
"Locusts are inevitable after a drought? There was such a saying? Master?" Li Chunfeng looked at Yuan Tiangang in bewilderment.
Yuan Tiangang was deep in thought. After a while, he nodded slightly." The locust plagues that I experienced in the past were often accompanied by droughts.”
Hearing Yuan Tiangang's words, Li Chunfeng's interest was instantly piqued." I'll immediately return to the Imperial Historian Bureau to look through the ancient books. If I can confirm the authenticity of this sentence, Little Junior Brother's merits will be boundless!”
After saying that, Li Chunfeng bade farewell to the two of them and left the Qingxu Temple.
After Li Chunfeng left, Yuan Tiangang's tone naturally changed a little." Why did Young Master say those two prophecies? It's to help Li Tang maintain his rule, and it'll cause even greater obstacles to the great cause of rebelling against Tang and restoring the Sui Dynasty…Moreover, Young Master is doing things in such a high-profile manner, and it's easy to attract the attention of all parties. If you accidentally expose your identity, it'll be very troublesome.”
According to Yuan Tiangang's original idea, when Yang Qian met Li Shiming, it would be best to just go through the motions and not say anything, trying to avoid being noticed by Li Shiming.
However, Yang Qian pointed out the problem of Princess Chang Le's short lifespan as soon as he opened his mouth, and even revealed that he could change Princess Chang Le's fate.
In order to make Li Shiming believe in his ability, he also released two prophecies about natural disasters in the entire Guanzhong region.
Yuan Tiangang was sure that regardless of whether the prophecy succeeded or failed (the probability of success was higher), Yang Qian would soon become one of the most famous physiognomists in Chang 'an.
At that time, it would attract the attention of various factions. Yang Qian's secret identity would be very easily exposed.
Once it was exposed that Yang Qian was the young prince of Emperor Yang, the situation would become uncontrollable.
It was precisely because it was very likely that there would be a bad outcome that Yuan Tiangang felt that Yang Qian was a little too high-profile today.
Yang Qian could understand Yuan Tiangang's worries, but he had to do it.
"Master, you told me before that it's very difficult for ordinary people to obtain noble aura.
" If I want to advance my Seer Gazing Technique, I have to absorb a large amount of noble energy and vitality. I'm doing this because I'm using the influence of the Li Tang Imperial Court to change the fate of many people on a large scale to increase my strength…
When my Seer Gazing Technique reaches the third or fourth level, no one in this world will be able to threaten me.”
Yang Qian said indifferently.
The third level of the Aura Gazing Art, the Element Condensation Realm, allowed one to grasp the Essence Qi Slash, Essence Qi Body Protection, and other abilities. At this step, one was already a peerless expert.
The fourth level of the Aura Gazing Art, the Airborne Realm, allowed one to master the magical abilities of vital qi explosion, using qi to control the wind, using qi to control the sword, and so on. If Yang Qian could advance to this realm, he would basically be an immortal on earth and invincible in the world.
Yuan Tiangang was slightly stunned. He suddenly realized that Yang Qian doing this was probably not arrogant and frivolous, but a manifestation of a lack of security!
The young master wanted to quickly improve his realm of the Seer Technique so that he could have enough strength to protect himself!
I misunderstood Young Master! Yuan Tiangang felt a little ashamed.
……
The drought in Guanzhong was more violent and faster than expected.
There was not a single drop of rain in Chang 'an during February. After March, the weather became hotter and hotter.
It was supposed to be the Spring Festival, but it felt like summer had arrived early.
The scorching sunlight evaporated the last bit of water in the countless farmlands in the Guanzhong Plain, creating a large area of cracked land where no plants could grow.
What was even more terrifying was that the water levels of the eight rivers near Chang 'an, Wei, Jing, Feng, Lao, Bi, Chan, Ba, and Bi, had all dropped significantly. The run-off was less than half of the previous years, which directly caused many shallow wells in Chang' an City to be unable to produce water.
Many residents needed to get water from large families with deep wells to live.
Outside Chang 'an City, many people who had no surplus grain began to give up their farmland and turned into refugees who rushed into Chang' an to seek a living.
Fortunately, the imperial court was prepared, and the granaries and Changping Granaries were all open to food to relieve the refugees.
At the same time, many rich and powerful families in Chang 'an also set up free porridge stalls to give porridge to the refugees.
The army and the people were busy for many days. The people of Chang 'an finally got out of the initial panic and temporarily restored the order of the past.
In the Tang court, Li Shimin and the other important officials did not relax after learning that the drought was temporarily under control. Instead, they became even more worried.
"Little Taoist priest's two prophecies have already been confirmed, so will the locust plague be far away?”
