The King of Zhenbei looked at the Cavalry General Si Qingshou and said:

"General Si Qingshou, you will arrange for the establishment of senior military officers, the Office of the Rights of the Exploited People, the Office of Human and Material Resources Allocation, and the Office of Tax Revenue Supervision. All officials of these three departments will be deployed by you in the East Camp Army."

General Si Qingshou stepped out and responded respectfully.

"I will obey your order!"

"I will definitely not let down the King of Zhenbei's trust."

The King of Zhenbei looked at the chief eunuch Shen Qian in the hall and said:

"Eunuch Shen! Summon all the chief officers, deputy chief officers, chief clerks, chief officers, and second officers of the five official departments of the Imperial Observatory to the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

"This king has an important task for the officials of the Imperial Observatory!"

Shen Qian, the chief eunuch in the imperial court, quickly received the order and ordered the Embroidered Uniform Guard to ride fast to call the officials of the Imperial Observatory.

A moment later,

The Embroidered Uniform Guard brought all the officials from the Imperial Observatory here.

The chief inspector Tai Shiliang brought all the people from the Imperial Observatory to the main hall.

Tai Shiliang wore the official robe of the first rank and displayed a picture of a crane spreading its wings.

Tai Shiliang took the lead and said to Gao Taigong calmly:

"Greetings to Emperor Dingwu! Greetings to King Zhenbei! I wonder why you summoned our Astronomical Observatory to the Hall of Supreme Harmony?"

Zhenbei King Hongxuan could sense a sense of indifference and detachment from the tone of the chief official of the Imperial Observatory.

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan said:

"From today on, your Sitianjian will recruit special talents for me to work in the Agricultural Science and Technology Research and Development Department, the Water Conservancy Construction Technology Research and Development Department, and the Science and Technology Direct Education Department."

"The candidates for these three departments will be assigned by the members of your Si Tian Jian first."

The King of Zhenbei first had to establish the short-lived Dafeng People's Livelihood Coordination Government.

As for the subsequent development, it will take a process.

Tai Shiliang, the chief official of the Imperial Observatory, frowned:

"Reporting to the King of Zhenbei, the functions of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory are to observe celestial phenomena, calculate solar terms, and formulate calendars. Why do we want the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to be stationed in the Agricultural Science and Technology Research and Development Department, the Water Conservancy Construction Technology Research and Development Department, and the Science and Technology Department directly under the Ministry of Education?"

The King of Zhenbei looked at the Supervisory Officer Tai Shiliang and said:

"You have mastered the weather, solar terms, and climate change at the Sitianjian, but this is far from enough."

"Even if you have mastered the celestial phenomena, if you have not provided any substantial services to the Great Feng Kingdom, then there is no need for your Imperial Astronomical Observatory to exist."

"I am not in the Hall of Supreme Harmony to discuss matters with you, the Director of the Imperial Observatory, Tai Shi Liang."

"Instead, you, the Imperial Observatory, must take the lead in joining the three departments of Agricultural Science and Technology Research and Development, Water Conservancy Construction Technology Research and Development, and Science and Technology Directly Under the Ministry of Education."

Supervisor Tai Shiliang frowned and said:

"Humph! King Zhenbei, this is forcing our Si Tianjian to abandon the bright heavenly way and be contaminated by the turbid air of the world!"

"If the King of Zhenbei forces me to do this, the worst that can happen is that I will resign with all the people in the Imperial Observatory!"

As soon as the King of Zhenbei said this,

All the people in the Imperial Observatory were extremely angry.

People like them are born rebellious. How could they be willing to give up their pursuit of the Way of Heaven and join such secular institutions as the Agricultural Science and Technology Research and Development Department, the Water Conservancy Construction Technology Research and Development Department, and the Science and Technology Department directly under the Ministry of Education?

The King of Zhenbei looked at the chief official of the Imperial Observatory and said with a smile:

"Supervisor Tai Shiliang, you said that your Imperial Observatory is engaged in the way of heaven, and you think you are superior to others and your heart is higher than the sky, right?"

"After cultivating the Way of Heaven, I no longer care about some secular institutions or the people!"

The Supervisory Official Tai Shi Liang did not kneel. He was a man of pride. Since the Supervisory Official did not kneel, the disciples behind him naturally did not kneel either.

Tai Shiliang said in a tone of reproach and instruction:

"King of Zhenbei! The sky cannot have two suns rising at the same time. Since the Great Feng Kingdom has already chosen Emperor Dingwu Hongli as the emperor."

"How can you place a chair in front of the dragon throne! I advise you to obey the will of heaven, understand your position and act accordingly, otherwise you will be punished by heaven!"

Emperor Dingwu Hongli looked at Taishi Liang and said:

"How dare you! I didn't expect you, the Imperial Observatory, to be so arrogant!"

Tai Shiliang curled his lips and said:

"Your Majesty! When the retired emperor Hong Jing met this supervisor, his tone was a little respectful, but he would not rebuke me like you do."

"If the new emperor feels that the Imperial Observatory is unnecessary, then I will take my disciples and leave the imperial city."

People like Tai Shi Liang and their disciples practiced the Way of Heaven and were also inspired by the Way of Heaven.

How is it possible to settle in other institutions?

King Zhenbei laughed and said:

"Tai Shiliang, I can confirm that you have completely lost the direction of practicing the Way of Heaven. What you are practicing is not the Way of Heaven, but the Way of Falsehood! It is the Way of Demon!"

The words of King Zhenbei were like thunder.

Tai Shi Liang has strands of silver hair and looks like a serious old scholar.

In front of all the civil and military officials of the imperial court, and in front of all his disciples.

The King of Zhenbei actually said that what he, Tai Shiliang, cultivated was not the Way of Heaven, but the Way of Falsehood? Or the Way of Demons?

The power of Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan's words was so destructive that it could nail the Supervisory Official Tai Shiliang to the pillar of shame.

Tai Shi Liang was so angry that he lost all his calmness.

"You! You! King Zhenbei! You are the military god and pillar of the Great Feng Kingdom, yet you actually slandered this supervisor with nonsense!"

"You say that I, the Supervisor, practice the Way of Demons, and I can be killed but not humiliated. I am all ears! Today in the court, how did you, the King of Zhenbei, describe me as a practitioner of the Way of Demons!"

The disciples behind Tai Shiliang showed no respect to the royal family.

These disciples who were in charge of the Imperial Observatory had seen with their own eyes that the emperor of Dafeng, who is now the emperor emeritus, Hongjing, asked about the knowledge of the way of heaven in a respectful tone.

"Haha! Heavenly Dao! Official of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, I am testing you! Is the sky that you know of round or square?"

Is the sky round or square?

"King Zhenbei! The sky is neither round nor square. There are thirty-six layers of heaven, and the highest layer is called Daluo Heaven!"

"If I had to refute your disrespect to me today, King Zhenbei, I would not reveal the name of the highest heaven, Daluo Heaven."

"King Zhenbei, there are a total of thirty-six floors on this day, you must remember them well."

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan laughed.

"Too small! Too small! So your heaven, Supervisor Tai Shiliang, only has thirty-six layers, and the highest layer is called Daluo Heaven? Haha! Too small."

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan said this with the intention of shocking everyone.

Tai Shiliang was really angry. He couldn't stand being questioned about his narrow-mindedness in the field he was good at.

At this time, all the civil and military officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony were looking at the chief official of the Imperial Observatory.

Unexpectedly, King Hongxuan of Zhenbei could sit down and discuss with the Supervisor of Dafeng State.

At this time, Tai Shi Liang was obviously silenced by the question of Zhenbei King Hongxuan.

"This supervisor has a small vision! King Zhenbei, don't take advantage of your noble status to act recklessly and make false statements!"

The King of Zhenbei frowned and looked at the Supervisor, Tai Shiliang, and said:

"You, Tai Shiliang, know that there are thirty-six layers of heaven, the highest of which is Daluo Heaven. But I want to tell you that the heaven of heaven is extremely large and infinite, with no number of layers, and extremely small and infinite, with no holes. The way of heaven is extremely wonderful and infinite, with no fixed number."

"Due to the limitations of your consciousness and thinking, your understanding of the sky is fixed at a mere 30th level."

After King Zhenbei finished speaking.

The Supervisor Tai Shi Liang took several steps back with thumps and thumps.

"The heaven of heaven is so great and infinite that it has no layers, and so small and infinite that it can penetrate anywhere. The heaven of heaven is so wonderful and infinite that it has no fixed number!"

"This supervisor corrects the limitations of consciousness and thinking!"

Tai Shi Liang felt as if a shackle had been opened and he had suddenly been enlightened.
