Chapter 418 Argument
A map of Tianfeng Kingdom appeared on the screen.
Guagua has marked the epicenter on the map, and then drew a circle according to the scale to mark the area severely affected by the earthquake.
Guagua marked and explained at the same time, and everyone finally understood what radius was.
After Gua Gua finished marking and the map was enlarged, Song Yaoyao began to look at it carefully.
Gua Gua: [Host, don't worry. There is still half a month before the earthquake. Tell the emperor about this and let the people there evacuate in advance. This will reduce a lot of losses and casualties.]
Song Yaoyao confirmed again:
[Guagua, are you sure your prediction is 100% accurate? ]
Guagua: [Host, as far as I know, there was a system that had the ability to predict before, and the things it predicted had never been wrong! ]
Song Yaoyao: [That’s good. Next, I know what to do!
Guagua, please print out a few more copies of the marked map. I plan to keep one for myself. 】
Guagua: [Okay, host.]
Everyone was looking at the map on the screen. The scope was too large.
This earthquake will not only affect Tianfeng Country, but also a large area of Yeyang Country.
Song Yaoyao also kept staring at the screen, looking at the affected areas, and was very worried...
Song Yaoyao: [Gua Gua, the area affected is too large. I don’t know if it will be too late to evacuate if we notify everyone now?
This is just a prediction after all, and I don't know if the emperor will believe it? 】
Gua Gua: [Host, I suggest you use the old method to inform the emperor about this matter. As for whether the emperor believes it or not, we can only describe the damage caused by the earthquake in more detail. I hope that the emperor can believe us for the sake of the people! ]
Song Yaoyao: [This is the only way! I hope the emperor can believe it! ]
Everyone was so shocked by the news that Gua Gua and Song Yaoyao had just revealed that they couldn't react for a long time.
The emperor also had an unpredictable look on his face!
Song Yaoyao suddenly felt the silence in the court, and raised her head to look at everyone in confusion:
[Guagua, what did I miss? Why did the court suddenly become quiet? ]
After hearing this, everyone immediately realized that they had forgotten to speak because of shock. Are they going to be exposed?
The emperor immediately coughed twice and said:
"I am very pleased to hear your reports on the spring ploughing situation in various places this year.
This is the first year we plant potatoes, so we must be more careful..."
Gua Gua: [Host, after the ministers have finished reporting on a topic and are waiting for the emperor to make his final remarks, haven’t they become quiet?
The emperor replied a few seconds late, don't make a fuss! 】
Song Yaoyao: [It seems to be correct! ]
Everyone was a little absent-minded about the subsequent state affairs.
The morning court ended quickly. The emperor called a few ministers to stay, and the rest of the people dispersed.
Song Yaoyao and Minister Song returned to the mansion. Minister Song went directly to the study on the pretext of getting something. Song Yaoyao immediately threw the printed materials at the door of Minister Song's study. When she saw her father picked up the paper ball and went back to the study, Song Yaoyao went to the dining room.
Even while eating breakfast, Song Yaoyao kept praying:
【May the gods and Buddhas bless you!!!】
Guagua: [Well, I hope that Tianfeng Country can successfully overcome this crisis, and I hope the people will be safe! ]
At the dinner table, Song Yaoyao and Guagua's words made Mrs. Song and the others confused.
Looking at Yaoyao's worried expression, they knew that something big must have happened. Minister Song went into the study as soon as he came back and has not come to the dining room yet. Facing Song Yaoyao, they didn't dare to ask directly.
Just then, Minister Song arrived. Mrs. Song did not ask anything, and the family sat together and had breakfast.
After the meal, Song Yaoyao said to Minister Song:
"Dad, wait for me for a moment. I'm going back to the yard to get some pills I made. I'm going to take these pills to the Imperial Hospital because the ones I brought here before are all used up.
I'll be back soon."
"Okay, go ahead."
As soon as Song Yaoyao left, Mrs. Song asked:
"Husband, what happened this morning? Why was Yaoyao praying to the gods and Buddhas while eating?"
Minister Song sighed and then told Guagua about his prediction of an earthquake that would occur in half a month.
Mrs. Song and the others were all shocked.
Song Qinghui immediately asked:
"Dad, will an earthquake really happen? After all, it will only happen in half a month.
Can this really be predicted in advance?"
Song Qingyu couldn't help but frowned:
"If the emperor asks the people to evacuate, what will happen if the earthquake doesn't happen?"
Mrs. Song agreed with a sad face:
"Yeah! What if the prediction is inaccurate?"
Minister Song: "Now all the civil and military officials in the court have heard about the earthquake. The direction of things now is not something we can control at all.
Gua Gua said that their predictive ability is very accurate!
I am also very worried now. Regardless of whether an earthquake will happen or not, the expenses required will not be a small amount.
If Guagua's prediction is accurate, it means that Guagua's new function is very powerful. Even if the people evacuate, the losses will be incalculable.
If the prediction is inaccurate, then all the work will be in vain. Deploying troops and generals also requires expenses, but relatively speaking, they will be less.
The Emperor will have to make the final decision on this matter."
……
Soon, Song Yaoyao came with the pills she had made. When everyone saw her coming, they stopped talking about this topic.
Song Yaoyao came closer and asked:
"Dad, we got the pills, we can get ready to go."
"Okay, let's leave now."
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
The ministers were also arguing fiercely.
The Minister of Revenue said: "Your Majesty, this is just a prediction. We cannot mobilize the army just because of an unknown statement.
Your Majesty, please think twice before acting!"
Grand Tutor: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with what they revealed, and this time it should be true!
We have to be on guard!"
Everyone knows who they are.
Shang Shu Ling: "I do not agree with the Grand Master's point of view.
The things that were revealed before were all things that actually happened. It is understandable that people have supernatural powers to know things that have already happened.
But this earthquake was different, this time it was predicted.
What is precognition? It is something that has not happened yet. Could it be that it is so powerful that it can accurately predict the future?
This is a bit too exaggerated!"
Minister of Revenue: "How do you know that its predictive ability is inaccurate?
If this prediction is true and we don’t prepare in advance, have you thought about the consequences?
That would cause tens of thousands of casualties, and other property losses would be severe.
Lives are being lost one after another, are we really just going to do nothing and just stand by and watch?"
