523 Chapter 523-fierce Cui Hao

“The Imperial Palace is such a forbidden place, where did this bi an come from?”

In the northern Wei Palace, Tuoba Si stood in front of the steps of the main hall with a whip in his hand. He was shocked and angry as he glared at the guards in the palace and shouted. As Tuoba Si shouted, he used the whip to ruthlessly whip the guards in front of him.

As a Xianbei man, Tuoba Si had fair skin, long and narrow eyes, and he had just grown a beard. He looked to be less than twenty years old, a young man.

The guards in the palace were also in a panic. They didn’t dare to make a sound or explain themselves under the emperor’s whip. They looked at each other, not knowing where the rabbit had come from.

Tuoba Si had already ordered a thorough investigation of all the guards and everyone who had entered and left the palace tonight. They had to find out where the rabbit had come from. The atmosphere in the entire Northern Wei Imperial Palace suddenly became tense, and the reason for this was the rabbit that had suddenly appeared in front of Tuoba Si tonight.

There were no rabbits in the palace, and there were no dog holes. According to the rules of the northern Wei Palace, these animals were not allowed to be brought into the palace.

Rabbits were very common in other places and were not a big deal. However, this thing had appeared in the northern Wei Imperial Palace tonight and was even seen by the Emperor. This was a big matter. This meant that the guards in the Imperial Palace were safe and there was a major oversight.

Today, a rabbit could pass through the heavy guards and jump in front of Tuoba Si. If there were assassins in the future, would they also appear in front of Tuoba Si like this? Furthermore, Tuoba Si had just become the northern Wei Emperor and was extremely suspicious.

This was the reason why Tuoba Si was furious over that rabbit.

There was no rest for the entire night in the palace. Tuoba Si did not even have the mood to sleep. Countless people in the palace were on tenterhooks for the entire night. After a night of chaos, they checked all the people and guards in the palace, but they still had no idea where the rabbit came from.

Facing such an outcome, even Tuoba Si, the Emperor, was dumbfounded. He panted heavily in the study room alone, his eyes darkly flickering. No one knew what he was thinking.

Tuoba SI’s subordinates were also a little scared, afraid that today’s incident would turn into a ” murder caused by a rabbit ” if they continued to investigate. After exchanging a look, an old eunuch beside Tuoba Si carefully stepped forward and said, ” Your Majesty, that rabbit has a mysterious origin, as if it had suddenly appeared in the palace. Perhaps it’s some kind of omen. Why don’t you call Cui Hao here and ask him what kind of omen this rabbit has for its sudden appearance in the palace? is it good or bad? ”

The old eunuch’s words immediately reminded Tuoba Si. Tuoba Si patted his own head. How could he have forgotten about Cui Hao? Cui Hao was proficient in yin and yang divination and the Book of Changes, so he would surely know what the rabbit that entered the palace meant.

“Immediately summon Cui Hao to the palace to have an audience with Qianqian.”

An hour later, Xia Pingan, who had just opened his eyes and seen his weak and small body, was practicing the ‘eight-duanjin’ at home to recuperate. He was hurriedly brought to the palace of Northern Wei by the old eunuch to Tuoba SI’s study.

Before that, after wandering around the spirit world, Xia Pingan returned to his room and began to merge with Cui Hao’s realm Pearl.

Cui Hao was just like what the history books said, ” Read less about literature and read more about Classics and History. Learn about the xuanxiang, yin-yang, and the words of hundreds of schools of thought. Study the meaning of the classics carefully. however, Cui Hao’s body seemed to lack exercise. In Xia ping ‘an’s eyes, he was too handsome and weak. If he encountered any chaos, he would have problems even protecting himself.

……

“Cui Hao greets Your Majesty!”

Xia ping ‘an bowed to Tuoba Si, and at the same time, secretly sized him up. At this moment, Tuoba Si had only been on the throne for about a year. In the 148th year of the Northern Wei Dynasty, there were 14 emperors, and 11 of them had died an unnatural death. The lifespans of these foreigners in Huaxia’s dynasties were generally short, and it was the same for the northern Wei established by the Xianbei people. One of the most bizarre rules of Northern Wei was that whoever wanted to be the Emperor had to behead his mother first. This was called killing his mother after establishing his son, and it was like killing an animal. When Tuoba Si had just been made the Crown Prince, his mother had been killed. Because Tuoba Si was too sad, he had been reprimanded and expelled from the palace by Tuoba Qing. In the end, Tuoba Qing had also been beheaded by another son of his during the coup. The northern Wei Palace was a living replica of the animal world, the most bloody and inhumane kind.

Xia ping ‘an reckoned that none of the emperors of Northern Wei were normal in their hearts. Each and every one of them had stepped on their mother’s corpse to ascend the throne, and the heavens would not tolerate this. It would be strange if these Northern Wei emperors were normal in their hearts. Although Tuoba Si looked young, he did not have many years left. He would die at the age of 32.

“Thank you, Grand Chancellor cui. Yesterday, I saw a rabbit scuttling into the palace. Professor cui, could you tell me whether this omen is good or bad?” Tuoba Si looked at Xia ping ‘an expectantly. Because Cui Hao was proficient in the Yang Yi theory, Tuoba Si conferred Cui Hao the title of ” doctor ” libation and often asked Cui Hao to perform divination for him.

“May I ask Your Majesty, when and where did you see the rabbit, and what color was the rabbit?” Xia Pingan asked in a serious tone.

Tuoba Si replied.

Thus, Xia Pingan began to count on his fingers in front of Tuoba Si.

Xia ping ‘an did not have the ability to calculate, but he remembered the result of Cui Hao’s divination for Tuoba Si-this realm Pearl had become a black box realm Pearl, and no one could fuse with it. It would be strange if those who had fused with the realm Pearl could say that they were right in this situation.

A moment later, Xia Pingan stopped his deduction and a smile appeared on his face. congratulations, Your Majesty. According to my calculations, the rabbit entered the palace and was seen by Your Majesty. This is a good sign. Your Majesty need not worry!

Hearing Xia Pingan’s words, Tuoba SI’s heart finally settled down. However, he still asked, ” what does this auspicious sign indicate? ”

“The rabbit’s entry into the palace indicates that His Majesty will have a happy event next year. The monarch of our neighboring country will send his Princess over to marry His Majesty!”

Tuoba Si was only 20 years old. When he heard that the neighboring country would send a Princess to him next year, he was dumbfounded.

“Libation may have calculated which country will send the princess?”

Your Majesty sees the rabbit at Zishi (Zi). Zishi (Zi) is the kun hexagram, corresponding to the Qin State in the southwest!

“Ah, you’re saying that Yao Xing will marry his daughter to me next year?” Tuoba SI’s face was filled with disbelief. That was because the relationship between Wei and Qin was not very good. The two countries bordered each other, and there were constant battles. From time to time, there would be news of war from the border.

“Your Majesty, you can wait and see. Yao Xing is already old and is no longer the same as before. It might not be a blessing for the Qin country to be on bad terms with the Wei country!” Xia ping ‘an said confidently because he knew that next year, Yao Xing would really send his daughter to Tuoba Si for marriage. The woman he would send would be the Empress Yao of Northern Wei, also known as the Empress Zhao’ AI.

Hearing Xia Pingan’s words, Tuoba Si was completely relieved. The frown on his face disappeared at once, and he laughed out loud, ” if everything next year is really like what Chancellor cui said, I will definitely reward you heavily!

“This is all Your Majesty’s great fortune. This lowly subject was only doing a little of my duty!”

The risk of ” a murder caused by a rabbit ” was thus resolved. Xia Pingan left the northern Wei Palace under the Grateful gazes of the eunuchs and palace guards beside Tuoba Si.

Lord cui, thank you for your help. Everyone in the palace is grateful to you. His Majesty was so scary last night, ” the old eunuch who had escorted Xia Pingan out let out a long sigh before they left. He was truly grateful to Xia Pingan.

“His Majesty has his own good fortune, but sometimes it is inevitable to be too cautious. Eunuch Qian, please stop.”

alright, take care then, Lord cui. the old eunuch nodded and left with a smile.

Seeing that the realm Pearl’s world was still intact, Xia Pingan, who had just left the Imperial Palace, could only rub his nose, ” it seems that this is just the first round. The test of the realm Pearl is not over yet!

master, please get on the carriage. the coachman and two guards of the cui Manor had already led the carriage over.

He returned home in the carriage and sat in the study for a while. Xia Pingan saw that the bookshelves in the study were filled with all kinds of ancient books. He picked up a book called ” Minister ” and flipped through a few pages. He saw that the book was filled with fine and neat tiny words. They were all Cui Hao’s annotations on ” Minister “. The language was exquisite and the views were unique.

He opened the book “poem” at the side. It was the same. The book also had Cui Hao’s annotations.

Looking at the bookshelves of books with annotations, Xia Pingan flipped through them. Suddenly, he thought of something and his face changed.

……

A few minutes later, thick smoke came out of Cui Hao’s study.

Xia Pingan stood in the study and threw all the books that Cui Hao had annotated into the brazier. When the fire started, Xia Pingan simply pushed the entire bookshelf over and let it burn. Then, he calmly walked out of the study.
