Everyone thinks that the broom star brings bad luck and is an ominous disaster star.
In particular, after being artistically processed by the magicians, it was related to the fate of the emperor's family. From a scientific point of view, this is pure nonsense.
Even a little ridiculous.
Qi Yu looked at Lao Zongzheng seemingly indifferently, but there was a murmur in his heart.
During the previous debate on the solar eclipse, he basically made no intervention. However, when it came to the matter of the broom star, he was more active than anyone else. From this, the purpose was probably to impeach Queen Su.
Of course, the old royal relatives, represented by Yue Sixian, also came here with the same purpose.
"Master Li, why do you firmly believe that the broom star is a disaster star?" Qi Yu did not answer his question, but asked instead.
Lao Zongzheng, his name is Li Zuoyi.
"Oh? Did I say something wrong?"
"Of course it's wrong!"
Li Zuoyi was startled, then smiled, and asked: "In Master Qi's opinion, what should the broom star be?"
Qi Yu's face straightened and he said: "Qi believes that comets are the source of thousands of lives. They broadcast rain and dew and benefit the people. They can be called the mother of all things. You said, how can a star with such immeasurable merits be called Why is it a disaster star?"
What?
The broom star's merits are immeasurable, but does it benefit the common people?
Isn’t this nonsense?
"Master Qi, what is the basis for your claim that the disaster star is the source of life?" Li Zuoyi seemed to be asking for advice, but said with disdain in his tone.
Qi Yu didn't care, and replied as seriously as before: "A comet is a large star made of ice water. Wherever it passes, sweet rain falls, nurturing all living beings under the laws of nature. All things are... It's a profit. Do you still remember that I said this when I first entered the palace? It's not just a random act based on my current circumstances."
Li Zuoyi was stunned, thinking about it secretly in his heart, and vaguely remembered that he did say this.
The people who were watching also nodded after replying.
Then continue.
"There is an ancient saying that water moistens all things without making a sound, water purifies all things without staining, and water gives birth to all things without fighting. With water, all things flourish, but without water, all things perish. From this, it is not difficult to see the importance of water. And comets are made of ice. Made of water, what is this if not auspicious?" Qi Yu elaborated from a Taoist perspective.
That's the theory, but is it really true?
Li Zuoyi said jokingly: "Master Qi, you have repeatedly emphasized that the broom star is the star of ice and water. What proof is there?"
Qi Yu smiled and replied: "Master Li, don't forget that my secret treasure can be seen in the sky, and the comet is not far away now, and you will definitely see it when you watch the stars tomorrow night! As long as the clouds in the night sky are not Thick, we can vaguely observe the long tail of ice water it spurts out."
Oh, it turns out this is the method

!
If the secret treasure is real, it should be possible.
Seeing Li Zuoyi starting to think deeply, Yue Si took over the conversation: "Qi Yu, even if you prove that there is ice and water on the comet, you still can't change its properties. A disaster star is a disaster star, and no one can change it."
Qi Yu's face tightened and he asked: "Then let me ask you, what is your basis for saying it is a disaster star?"
"Our ancestors have made a conclusion about this star a long time ago. As a scholar, don't you know it?" Yue Sixian said with a look of disdain.
Haha~~
Of course I know, but I won’t tell you!
"Well, tell me, how did our ancestors come to a conclusion?" Qi Yu said with a playful smile.
"You asked knowingly..."
Although Yue Sixian was angry, he still suppressed it.
He coughed dryly and directly quoted from the classics and said: "Don't you hear that in "Huainanzi Military Training" it is said: King Wu attacked Zhou, facing the east to welcome the new year, reaching Si River and falling into the water, reaching the common head and falling. The comet came out, When giving the people of Yin their handles, there are comets from time to time. The handle is in the east, which can sweep away the Westerners. This is the sign of women causing chaos in government! Did you hear it? The article clearly states that comets are the scourge of disasters. .You ignore the ancient sayings and call it an auspicious omen. Are you still shameless?"
"I don't need your judgment if I want to be shameless. Let me ask you, do you firmly believe what is contained in this article?" Qi Yu asked solemnly.
Yue Sixian also replied seriously: "Of course! The broom star is the disaster star, and the housewife disrupts the government!"
In an instant, the quiet private discussion started again.
The target of the attack is Empress Su.
At this juncture, the most nervous person is the emperor. He not only believes in God's will, but also firmly believes that people's hearts are still there, and there is no ordinary contradiction in his heart.
Which one is right?
He seemed a little hesitant.
If there is a power in this world that the emperor is afraid of, it must be God's will, which must be respected and cannot be violated. However, the human heart is also made of flesh, so how can we be unkind, unjust, and give up in the end?
Qi Yu suddenly raised his head and saw that the emperor's eyes were blurred and murderous look gradually appeared on his face, and he shouted hurriedly.
However, his shout was aimed at Yue Si, who was trembling with fear.
"Mr. Yue! I thought that as a veteran royal relative, you would definitely have a lot of wisdom, but I didn't expect that in fact, you are an ignorant and incompetent person!"
Am I a disciple of...?
"You are so brave! How dare you despise me..."
"You are an ignorant person and you are not worthy of talking to an expert!"
"You...ah..."
This fierce argument brought out the emperor's thoughts.
It seemed that he was much more awake than before.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Qi Yu couldn't help but secretly let out a sigh of relief when he saw the emperor's eyes becoming clearer.
Then, he said loudly: "Old man, listen carefully. The earliest record of the broom star should come from "Shangshu". The original text says this: King Wu defeated Zhou and faced the east to welcome the new year... You can also sweep away the Westerners!"
After a pause, he emphasized his tone a little more and said forcefully: "It is not difficult to see from the original text that there is no saying in the record that 'this is a sign of women messing up the government'. So, what kind of evildoing does this sentence mean? Where was it added by the magic stick?"
This question was like a revelation, directly triggering everyone's thinking.
You must know that "Shangshu" is one of the Five Classics, and its status is by no means comparable to miscellaneous books such as "Huainanzi". Using it as evidence will definitely convince the public.
The key point is that this book was written much earlier than "Huainanzi", so there is absolutely no possibility of copying.
What is right and what is wrong is clear at a glance.
At this time, the enlightened emperor finally spoke: "Qi Aiqing, do you mean to say that the sentence about women disrupting government was fabricated?"
Qi Yu hurriedly praised: "Your Majesty, the Holy Mage, has revealed the mystery with just one word and got to the point. That comet was originally the source of life and had great merits in the world, but in the end it was labeled as a disaster star. How unjust. Really? I hope your majesty will clear up his name and put things right out of chaos!"
What?
Clear name?
After Li Zuoyi and Yue Si exchanged glances, they stepped forward and argued to Qi Yu: "The idea that broomsticks reflect women's disorder in government has been around for a long time, and there are many records to test. Your Excellency does not learn from history, but instead chews on words. How ridiculous!"
"Master Li, what you said is wrong. You must know that "Shangshu" is one of the five classics of China. It has profound principles and every word is precious. I digest it carefully without chewing on the words. Is it possible that I still read it in a gulp?"
After refuting it, Qi Yu added: "As for what you said about learning from history, it is completely untenable in the face of the current facts!"
"Untenable?"
Qi Yu nodded, bowed to the emperor and all the officials, and then said: "Everyone, if there is really a connection between the comet's appearance and women's chaos in government, then why did this star come to the emperor when Empress Hu committed regicide? Why not? But now that the palace is harmonious and the royal family is prosperous, the comet has come instead. What does this mean? It means that this star has arrived at the right time! What is this if it is not auspicious? "
Not to mention, if you compare it like this, it seems that it is really the case!
Facts speak louder than words.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all speechless by Qi Yu's theories and facts.
At this time, the emperor finally smiled.
Haha, I claim to be a moral king in vain, but I am actually blinded by false claims. I am so confused!
Fortunately, Qi Aiqing was a bystander and gave me a heads-up in time, otherwise, I might have misunderstood Zi Tong.
