Ever since Gou Liang revealed the correct way of using sea fish in food, the old man no longer mentioned wanting to forcefully occupy the vat of fish. Instead, he regularly and ‘coincidentally’ appeared in front of Gou Liang three times a day, reminding him to pay ‘filial piety’.

The ship slowly sailed south, and time seemed to pass as rapidly as receding seawater.

22nd day of the 8th month.

Capital, the Imperial Palace. 

The lamps in the Imperial Palace were already lit. The Emperor looked at the memorial from General Zhen Guo—— today was the seventh day after Zhang Tian’s death, in his memorial, General Zhen Guo wept bitterly and implored the Emperor to give justice to the Zhang Clan. Reading it felt inauspicious. As the Emperor wrinkled his brows, his personal eunuch did not dare to disturb him, instead he waited until the Emperor put down the memorial before reminding him that it was time for the evening meal.

The Emperor did not let him bring in the meal, instead he asked, “Is Liu-won’t-speak still outside the palace hall?”

The head eunuch hurriedly replied, “Reporting to Your Majesty, Official JianZheng is still kneeling outside the palace hall……He has already knelt for one day and one night, and the food that this old slave delivered was not touched, nor has he drunk a drop of water. Your Majesty do you think…….a person should be dispatched to send Official JianZheng out of the palace?”

Liu JianZheng was a bit older than Emperor Wu, if it continued like this, then perhaps it would cause a death.

The Emperor’s face instantly became gloomy.

When Zhong Yue said that Yan Fief would have an earthquake, he was already extremely unhappy.

The earth dragon turning over was extremely inauspicious, often signifying that the monarch was muddle-headed and tyrannical. If the disaster was severe, the Son of Heaven would have to offer sacrifices to the Heavens and admit his sins, and send out an imperial report admitting his sins in order to calm the people.

The Emperor believed himself to be diligent in politics and caring to the people. He was unwilling to accept the title of ‘incapable ruler’—how could he bear this kind of inauspicious omen? 

However, he did not dare to take the prediction from Tianji Zhong Clan lightly. He immediately sent the Crown Prince with the QinTian supervisor as deputy to Yan Fief with the army seal, deploying the army to evacuate the common people of XingTang province as soon as possible.

But just as the imperial edict was issued, QinTian Supervisor JianZheng reported to the Emperor that the earthquake in the Yan Fief wouldn’t pass as easily as Zhong Yue had predicted. He spoke bluntly, “This subject obtained heavenly warning, I’m afraid that this time Yan Fief’s calamity will stretch for thousands of miles, from XingTang onwards, the five regions of Yan Fief will be affected. Moreover, the remaining power of the earth dragon would still be strong and there would be trembles for days after.”

Throughout the records of history, in the four hundred years since founding the Empire, there had never been an earthquake of this magnitude. Even in the hundreds of years prior to the Empire’s formation, such a thing had never occurred.

In the ears of Emperor Wu, the QinTian Supervisor’s words were no less than saying that he was inferior to even the last Emperor of the previous dynasty, who was a brutal and muddle-headed dog ruler. How could he stand to hear this? It was already a great grace that he did not immediately have Liu Jianzheng dragged out and beheaded.
