Travel through Shen Meizhuang to open the system and walk sideways in the harem

After she made up her mind, she decided to write a letter to her father who was far away in Shandong.

Many years ago, Shen Meizhuang's father had some friendship with the Minister of Works, Kua Dai.

If we could get him to help submit a memorial to the emperor to prevent possible locust plagues in advance, it would be a great thing that would benefit both the country and the people!

In this way, the people can be prevented from suffering from famine and the court can save a lot of expenses.

I guess Kua Dai wouldn't refuse, right?

So she quickly picked up a pen, wrote down her ideas and plans in detail on a piece of letter paper, and asked Jinxi to send it back to Shandong.

After the letter was sent, Shen Meimei was not idle either. She knew very well that a letter home was far from enough.

Then, she asked Jinxi to invite Ji Weisheng over.

As an institution specifically responsible for observing celestial phenomena and predicting good and bad fortune, the opinions of the Imperial Observatory often hold a decisive position.

At this moment, it is time for Ji Weisheng to take action.

As long as he could tell the emperor the instructions of the celestial phenomena, the emperor would also pay attention to preventing the locust plague in advance.

An hour later, Ji Weisheng came in and bowed:

"Your humble servant greets the Imperial Concubine Hui. May Your Majesty live long and healthy! What can I ask of you?"

This was the first time Shen Meimei met Ji Weisheng. The man in front of her was only about thirty years old and had a shrewd look on his face.

"Master Ji is a deputy envoy in the Imperial Observatory, with an official rank of about seventh grade. If he is promoted to a chief envoy, he should be sixth grade. Master Ji is a smart man. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your promotion. I will keep it in mind. Do you have any instructions?" Ji Weisheng bowed his head and said.

It is indeed worry-free to deal with smart people, who can explain the situation in just a few words.

Shen Meimei was cautious. She looked at the number displayed above Ji Weisheng's head, which was 60%. She could trust his words, but not completely believe them.

She cleared her throat and continued:

"I have recently read ancient books and found a pattern: whenever a year is particularly hot, there is a high probability of a locust plague the following year. This year's weather is abnormal, and next year there may be a locust plague.

I told the emperor, but he didn't believe me. I want to ask you to do this. If you succeed, I will grant you the position of the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory."

Upon hearing this, Ji Weisheng knelt down to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support! I will do my best!"

In the Qinzheng Hall, the emperor was reviewing memorials when Su Peisheng came in to report, "Your Majesty, the deputy envoy of the Imperial Observatory is outside seeking to see you. He said he has something urgent to tell you!"

"Let him in!" The emperor put down the pen in his hand and said to Su Peisheng.

Ji Weisheng took a few quick steps and entered the Qinzheng Hall, where he knelt down and saluted, saying:

"Your humble servant, the Deputy Envoy of the Imperial Observatory, kowtows to His Majesty, Long

"Why are you here? Where is the envoy?" the emperor asked casually.

"It is because I have been ill for some time and unable to meet the emperor, so I sent this humble minister here to meet the emperor." Ji Weisheng stood up and bowed.

"You come to see me now, is there something unusual in the celestial phenomena?"

"Yes, I observed the sky at night and found a disaster star hovering in the sky, unwilling to leave for a long time!" Ji Weisheng pretended to be mysterious. He wanted to attract the emperor's attention.

"Oh? What kind of disaster is it? Tell me!" The emperor pondered for a moment. He had always been strict with himself, so naturally he didn't want any disaster to come.

“Reporting to the emperor, I dare not speak rashly. The four symbols and twenty-eight constellations are divided into four categories: Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, White Tiger, and Vermillion Bird. They represent the four directions of east, north, west, and south respectively. Each direction contains seven constellations, for a total of twenty-eight constellations.

I have discovered that among the stars representing the west, seven of them, including Kui Mu Lang, Lou Jingu, Wei Tu Zhu, and Mao Ri Ji, are dim and dim, which seems to be a sign of a great disaster!
