The government and the public are boiling.
"This is a warning from God!"
"Mr. Qi, you are talking about the Imperial Preceptor. The Imperial Preceptor can reach the sky. Because of his ostomy industry, will God punish the entire Jin Dynasty?"
"W-what does this mean?"
Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on the national master.
Although the Imperial Preceptor goes to court every day, he only talks about the weather, such as when the temperature will cool down in the future, when it will snow, etc., and rarely participates in court affairs.
"That's sheer nonsense!" Qi Guoshi rolled his sleeves, "It's just a big stone, but because it has words engraved on it, it turns into a warning from heaven. Isn't it ridiculous?"
The Minister of Household Affairs also thought it was a bit of a joke: "It may be that ordinary people carved words randomly a thousand years ago, and by chance, King Pingxi discovered it."
"How could it be such a coincidence?" Another minister asked, "It happens to be the Jin Dynasty, and it happens to be the Qi family. If the two can match up, can the others also match up?"
"Yes, yes, what if this is God's warning to Dajin? If you don't listen to God's advice, I'm afraid..."
"Your Majesty, I would rather believe that something exists than something that doesn't exist."
Seeing so many people claiming to believe the words on that stone, Master Qi almost went crazy.
He knelt directly on the ground: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen has served the country and the people for so many years and has dedicated his whole life. These emperors have seen it all. How can we deny all Wei Chen's achievements just because of a mere stone tablet..."
"In this case..." Marquis Pingjin couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, how about asking Mr. Ding to tell your fortune?"
The emperor narrowed his eyes: "Which Mr. Ding?"
"Your Majesty, Mr. Ding is an amazing fortune teller." Marquis Pingjin said, "I have asked Mr. Ding to calculate fortunes several times, and he is accurate every time. It is not an exaggeration to call him a miraculous fortune teller."
Upon hearing this, Master Qi laughed.
He had heard of Mr. Ding's name as a fortune teller, but he didn't take it seriously at all.
"Pingjin Marquis mentioned the name of a charlatan in the Jinluan Palace, which is too contemptuous of the government." Qi Guoshi said, "It is too childish to let a charlatan fortune teller decide on national affairs."
Pingjin Hou tried to explain: "Mr. Ding is different from other fortune tellers. He really..."
Among the civil and military officials, there were some people who had their fortunes told by Ding Yiyuan, but they were only a dozen or so, and the others scorned him.
"It is not the turn of a fortune teller and liar to dictate the state affairs of the Jin Dynasty."
"They are just deceptive tricks. Only the people in Pingjinhou are stupid enough to believe them."
The prince, who was standing at the front, endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "Father, my son also asked Mr. Ding for fortune telling. Before the princess gave birth, my son asked the national master whether the baby would be born. Whether the boy is a girl or not, after the Imperial Master made a fortune-telling, he said that the secret must not be leaked. The sons and ministers did not understand. It was just a calculation of male and female. How could it involve the secret of Heaven? Then how could the Imperial Master usually tell fortunes for his father and emperor? What? So Erchen found Mr. Ding, and Mr. Ding did some calculations and told Erchen that the baby was a boy. As expected, the princess gave birth to Erchen’s eldest son. "
Master Qi couldn't believe it.
As the crown prince of a country, the prince actually went to find a charlatan to calculate the man and woman. It was simply the most ridiculous thing in the world. What's more terrible is that the prince actually had the nerve to say it out loud.
The emperor's eyebrows also wrinkled.
Forget about others telling fortunes, it's really a bit embarrassing for a prince with his status to do such a thing.
With the prince taking the lead, other people who had had their fortunes told by Ding Yiyuan also came forward to speak out.
Many people's curiosity couldn't help but be aroused. Is Mr. Ding really so accurate?
"My minister thinks that we can invite Mr. Ding to come into the palace and give it a try." Chu Yi cupped his hands and said, "If he can tell you a charter to prove that this person is indeed capable, and if he talks nonsense, then he can be pulled out and beheaded. Except for a person who deceives everyone with his monstrous words."
Hearing this, Marquis Pingjin shrank his neck.
He seemed to be a little impulsive when he mentioned Mr. Ding in the Jinluan Palace. If Mr. Ding was not counted as the country's destiny, wouldn't he be killed by him?
"Xuan, Ding Yiyuan comes to see you!"
The emperor gave an order, and Eunuch Gao's decree was passed down from level to level. In less than half an hour, Ding Yiyuan was brought into the Jinluan Hall.
Ding Yiyuan was dressed in dark yellow clothes and had a long beard on his face. He looked somewhat aloof.
"The common people have met the emperor."
He did not kneel on the ground, but bent down to salute. His posture was noble, but there was no contempt in his eyes, and he showed respect for the people on the dragon throne.
The emperor knew that people outside the world basically did not respect the courtesy of the world, but he did not care too much. He said calmly: "Are you Mr. Ding?"
"Exactly down there."
"You have seen a huge stone in the palace. I have asked you to come and ask you to tell fortunes for this huge stone."
Ding Yiyuan walked around the boulder, then took out three copper coins from his sleeve, sat down on the spot, closed his eyes, and muttered something.
Seeing this scene, Qi Guoshi's face showed a strong sarcasm: "To calculate the fate of the country, we need to set up an altar and invite the ancestor of the heavenly master to the throne, and we also need the magical weapon of Hua Banner... How can we connect the heaven and the earth with only three copper coins?" Aura, how to see the future, he is really a charlatan, extremely ridiculous."
Many ministers shook their heads.
"It seems that he is really just a liar who tells fortunes."
"He actually tricked himself into coming to the Jinluan Palace. It seems that his death is not far away."
"It is his blessing to be able to see today before he dies."
"Be an honest person in your next life."
Ding Yiyuan blocked all these discussions.
He knows very well that since he has chosen to take this path, he cannot be a straw bag with half a bottle dangling.
He deliberately went to many Taoist temples to learn some things. The more he learned, the more he felt that this profession was a fictitious one and that there was nothing substantial at all.
If you have no choice, then learn how to bluff.
Ding Yiyuan casually placed the three copper coins in his hand on the ground, looking at the coins with increasingly sharp eyes, as if he was conducting some kind of communication.
Then, his fingers gently moved the coins, forming a strange arrangement. As the arrangement changed, his expression became more and more solemn.
I don't know what he felt. His fingers suddenly trembled and his body trembled. He seemed to be trying to steady his mind. He picked up the three copper coins, looked at the person at the top and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the hexagram shows that this huge stone is The words on it are indeed a warning from God.”
"Nonsense! False words! Misleading people!" Qi Guoshi said coldly, "If you can calculate your fortune with three copper coins, the whole world will be in chaos."
"It is indeed going to be chaos." Ding Yiyuan said word by word, "Because the Imperial Master saw the secret of heaven and tampered with the destiny, it triggered divine punishment. Three days later, the earthquake in the south was proof."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
