"Guest offender crape myrtle, three years of drought!" Since the beginning of spring, rumors of unknown origin have begun to spread around the capital. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info make people's stomachs empty, as if they are dissatisfied with how much they eat. The price of rice in the city also rose again and again, and seeing that the officials' new income could no longer support the normal expenses.

The crown prince Zhenjin was very anxious about this, some time ago Kublai Khan tried his best to pave the way for him, and he could not live up to his father's trust again. Therefore, in the early dynasty, he gave a death order to the officials of the Qin Heavenly Prison, telling them to find a good omen within three days, and suppress the rumors of the drought among the people.

"Whew! Do you think this starry sky is someone's lantern, and you can place it however you want! Guo Shoujing, a bachelor in charge of observing celestial phenomena, scolded in his heart. Since the last time he released the celestial phenomenon that heralded the migration of the people for Lu Shirong, the Qin Tianjian he was in charge of had become a stage in the hearts of hundreds of officials, and someone came to the door at two ends in three days to dredge the joints and let him make excuses for a certain decree from the celestial phenomena.

However, Guo Shoujing did not dare to oppose Zhenjin's order in person. Lu Shirong collected tens of millions of silver for Kublai Khan's father and son, but the father and son took advantage of him and pushed him out as a scapegoat and beheaded him. In the end, this capable minister became the first corrupt official and traitor of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and he didn't even end a good death. Like Lu Shirong, Guo Shoujing also made a lot of money when he demolished people's properties last year, although Kublai Khan said that he would not pursue it, and the prince also took a large share of the real gold when he made the money. But the words at that time were not written on a blank sheet of paper after all, and the prince Zhenjin did not admit it, and no one could do anything about the father and son.

Thinking of these depressing things, Guo Shoujing had no motivation to work. When it was warm and cold, the night wind was bitterly cold, and a layer of frost hung on the bronze celestial instrument. After a while, the person's fingers will freeze and stiffen, and they can't warm up no matter how warm they are.

The half-waning moon gradually faded, and the stars in the sky slowly brightened. Several meteors slowly swept across the southeastern sky with long comets trailing their tails.

"It's coming!" Guo Shoujing, who had been waiting for two nights in a row, was overjoyed, and immediately ran to the star platform to swing the celestial instrument with his own hands, and while moving, he ordered the soldiers' servants: "Hurry up, hurry up and record, the year is rushing to the sky, and the warehouse is rich!" ”。

Several officials of the Qintian Prison couldn't wait to record Guo Shoujing's words. Tianshiyuan is the lower wall of the three walls, located in the southeast direction under the Ziwei wall, in which the stars are mostly named after goods and star tools. In the eyes of astrologers, a change in the astrological signs means a change in the price of the market on earth. Although the officials of the Qin Heavenly Prison had countless empirical experiences to prove that the changes in the Tianshiyuan had nothing to do with human prices, the prince asked them to lie, and they had to lie.

"If you give the prince a book, you will say that the guest is Ziwei, which originally means a great drought in the world. But the Ming monarch was in the court, the virtuous ministers helped, and the celestial phenomena were reversed. This year, the wind and rain will be smooth, and the grain will be ripe! Guo Shoujing said in a trembling voice. He didn't believe a word of these words. He has been studying the stars for many years, and he believes that the sky is a mass of chaos, enveloping the earth in between. The so-called stars and buckets are just floating dust in the middle of chaos, which can be used as markers to observe solar terms and time changes, and have nothing to do with disasters on the ground and national fortunes. If there is a comet appearing, it means that the world has changed, and Qin Tianjian observes hundreds of comets every year.

The trajectory of these comets tonight is clear, and the tail of one of them is still tinged with a faint blue color. "The structure of that dust must be different from the others," Guo Shoujing thought with regret. In recent years, telescopes made in the south have been circulating in the hands of wealthy families, and if they can be used instead of observing the sky with the naked eye, they will definitely be able to see a completely different starry sky. However, the price of the telescope is high, and the leading troops can only be owned by the marshal, and for the dispensable departments in the Yuan Court, such as the Qin Tianjian and the Taishi Academy, they are simply not qualified and have the financial resources to buy such valuable items.

"Do you want to see more clearly?" As if knowing Guo Shoujing's thoughts, a stranger asked in a low voice next to him.

"Of course, only by stargazing can we know how small people are, and the vast universe is infinitely changing, and I have devoted half my life to this, and I haven't seen a corner of the sky clearly!" Guo Shoujing replied in confidence, and after answering, he realized that this voice was very unfamiliar, not like it came from Qin Tianjian's colleagues.

Turning his head suddenly, he saw a black-clad masked man walking beside him with his hands behind his back. As for the few officials on the planetarium, I don't know when they were knocked out and thrown into the clouds.

"Who are you?" Guo Shoujing asked loudly. Thinking of the folk rumors about the rewards of the heads of the officials of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, cold sweat suddenly broke out from his forehead. Counting from him, a scholar, Qintian Supervisor, and Taishi Ling, there are seven or eight officials on duty tonight, although everyone has no real power in the court, but the rank of the position is far greater than that of a county. Seven or eight heads were cut off, and it was not a problem to exchange them for hundreds of gold coins.

But he didn't dare to shout for help, since the person who came could unconsciously rush to the stargazing platform and stun his subordinates, the soldiers under the stage must have been leveled by him. The stargazing platform is far away from the imperial city, and in the middle of the night, if you shout your throat here, there will be no more rescuers.

"Master Guo, don't be afraid, Xie has no malice here!" The visitor smiled and pulled down the black scarf from his face.

It was Xie Fangde, Guo Shoujing remembered that he had a one-sided friendship with this person at Lu Shirong's family banquet. After Lu Shirong was imprisoned, the whole family was implicated. In the past, the officials who rushed to the door of the PLO Lu family avoided suspicion one after another, and none of them helped. The huge family was uprooted, and the wives died. The only one in the family who escaped from his birth was Lu Shirong's eldest grandson, Lu Guisheng, who was said to have been bought by the person in front of him for 10,000 silver coins.

"You, what are you doing, what are you doing? No, I don't know, this, is this an official family, a heavy land? Guo Shoujing heard his voice trembling, and wanted to make a calm gesture, but his hands and feet trembled uncontrollably.

"Could it be that Lord Guo is willing to be a witch and a god for the rest of his life, telling fortunes and praying for people?" Xie Fang didn't answer Guo Shoujing's words, and asked with his eyes staring at the other party.

This sentence deeply pierced Guo Shoujing's self-esteem. As the most erudite person in the Great Yuan Dynasty, he was proficient in astronomy, geography, mathematics, and hundreds of crafts, ordered the calendar, and built a large capital, which can be said to be talented and world-famous. But in the eyes of Kublai Khan's father and son, he is indeed a fortune-teller and a deceitful man, and the so-called heaven is no different from the theory of strange forces and gods.

Guo Shoujing wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't say a thousand words. I only felt that my legs and feet were weak, my scalp was wooden, and my eyes were dark, and I fell straight down.

Xie Fangde reached out and picked up Guo Shoujing, handed it to a few masked guests who ran from the corner, turned around and rushed down the observatory.

"Taking such a big risk, just to plunder a god stick?" There were men in black muttering as they ran. It took a lot of effort to plan this operation, and finally paid a lot of money to buy off the cook who sent the night to the stargazing platform, and did the work in the diet of the officials and soldiers, so that it was successful.

"Don't be wordy, put the things we prepared in the place where Master Guo frequents! He is a man named by the Metropolitan Governor to protect! Xie Fang pulled on his scarf and glared at his subordinates fiercely.

The man in black, who had been scolded, took out a letter from his bosom and ran inside. Several other black-clothed guests helped Xie Fangde carry the stunned Guo Shoujing into the carriage, waved the horsewhip, and galloped into the dark night.

After a few moments, the carriage completely melted into the darkness.

The next day, the crown prince Zhenjin got what he had dreamed of, about the celestial phenomenon of this year's grain ripening. The newspaper of the imperial court of the Great Yuan Dynasty engraved and printed the relevant content as quickly as possible and sent it to the yamen in various places. What made Zhenjin depressed was that instead of being suppressed about the drought, the people were talking about it, saying that the Yuan Court used celestial phenomena to confuse everyone, causing Guo Shoujing, the scholar in charge of the Qin Heavenly Prison, to hang up and leave. The so-called "the wind and rain are smooth, and the grain is ripe" is simply nonsense made up by Yuan Ting.

Zhenjin was furious and ordered the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to immediately find Guo Shoujing's whereabouts. The soldiers on the street turned most of the capital upside down, not only did they not find Guo Shoujing himself, but even the men, women and children of the Guo family were missing. It's just that in the main hall of Qin Tianjian, some careful people found Guo Shoujing's big seal and a letter of resignation to the crown prince Zhenjin.

Yuan Ting was annoyed and angry, and copied Guo Shoujing's house for the crime of "bullying the king", and his people were wanted by the whole country. In the blink of an eye, prisons in various parts of Zhongshu Province arrested a bunch of people surnamed Guo, regardless of whether they were related to Guo Shoujing by blood or not, and all of them were sent to Liaodong as slaves.

At this time, Guo Shoujing didn't know that he had become a wanted criminal in the imperial court. Lying at the head of the bed, looking at the position of the stars outside the window, he calculated that he was on a ship heading south.

The stars on the sea are clearer than on land, and the stars that had been seen from the observatory were always like a layer of mist, but now they looked like giant candles flickering in front of them. Guo Shoujing rubbed his eyes and turned his gaze to the ceiling, and the complicated nautical charts above his head immediately attracted his attention. It was a chart that the owner of the ship deliberately burned to the ceiling with a soldering iron, from the Tatar Sea in the far north to the Bo mud in the far south, every port and island was clearly marked. Beyond the Bo mud, there is a route that runs south along a dry of strangely named islands to a huge nameless land.

Guo Shoujing jumped off the bed despite the weakness of his body. There is land in the ocean to the south! South-west, after the Mo Gu Du Shu, there is still a country! Passing through the heavens and Cairo, you can really sail to Marco Polo's hometown! Oh my God, who drew the chart, and it was exactly the same as the world he imagined.

"The sky is like egg yolk, and in the chaos, the earth is just a chicken egg." Through years of astrological observations, Guo Shoujing once came to such a conclusion. But through the exchange of envoys from various countries and Western missionaries who came to the Great Yuan Dynasty, he could only verify that there were a large number of countries with strange names and different customs in the far West beyond Middle-earth. However, he could not test his hypothesis that the earth was round, and he did not know why the earth was not out of balance if there was no land in the south and all the sea.

The existence of the nameless continent on the nautical chart validated his imagination. Since the land in the north and south is balanced, there must be another continent outside of Middle-earth and the west, otherwise the spherical earth will be deflected as well. The excitement of the new discovery hit his nerves, making him forget the fear of being hijacked for a moment, and his eyes were fixed on every route, every land, and he kept muttering to himself.

"This, this position should be the midline of the earth, with the longest hours of sunshine every day, and the four seasons are like summer. Well, the winters here are long, and most of the area is covered in snow and ice, ..... my God, I'm right, I'm right. Since there is a continent in the south, there must be another land on the ocean between the east and the west! ”

"The land to the south is only wild people, and there is no way to do business. As for the land between the East and the West, I haven't heard of it at present, and our merchant ships can only go to the heavens at present, and no one has ever been to the west! A voice said behind Guo Shoujing.

Guo Shoujing turned around and found that the person who spoke was a strange old man. The body is extremely strong, and although the beard has turned gray, the fingers that hold the ruler and the gauge still look like a sense of strength.

"Old man Fang Kui, please ask Mr. Guo to go south on the orders of the prime minister!" The white-bearded old man smiled and said to Guo Shoujing: "These days, the boat is sailing against the wind, and it can't get up fast, if Mr. Guo is interested, you might as well take a look at the night sky on the sea!" ”

Guo Shoujing suddenly remembered his identity as a hijacker, and rushed to his head with anger. With three points of fear and seven points of anger, he replied with a sneer: "Guo is just a third-grade official, Wen can't strategize, and Wu can't kill the enemy." I'm afraid your Prime Minister has made a mistake this time. His Majesty Kublai Khan will never withdraw his troops because of Guo, and Guo will not be coerced by others to solve the celestial phenomena! ”

"Heavenly phenomena, Lord Guo has already solved the problem more than once!" Fang Kui said mockingly, "But don't worry, no one in our Metropolitan Governor's Mansion believes in that thing." Even if God says that we should be cut off by the Mongols, will we really stretch our necks and wait for someone to cut off? The prime minister of my family just said that with the talent of Lord Guo, it would be a pity to be a god stick in the north. It's better to come to the south and do your studies in a down-to-earth manner! ”

"Hugh is talking nonsense, Guo is loyal to Dayuan, and he will never be coerced by villains such as you! You are full of copper-smelling rogues, how can you talk about the word learning! Guo Shoujing scolded back with a fierce voice. The word magic stick stabbed him again, although he has used the knowledge he has mastered to gain benefits over the years, Guo Shoujing does not feel at ease. Sometimes in the middle of the night, he asks himself, and he is deeply ashamed of what he has done. But in the Great Yuan Dynasty, if you don't lie, you can't be an official, and if you don't be an official, you can't learn, and many roads know that they are wrong, but they have to go on.

"Really? My lord, in your opinion, who is more vulgar in the north and south, and who is more like a bandit? Lao Fang Kui was not angry at all, and continued to ask mockingly.

Guo Shoujing was speechless. Although the remnant Song Dynasty in the south smelled of copper, it did far surpass the Great Yuan in terms of people's livelihood. As for the academic attainments of both sides, except for Confucianism, none of the Northern Yuan Dynasty took the lead. The metallurgy, casting, astronomy, and geographical knowledge of Li Guida, a small general in the south, who only had scaly claws in his stomach, had already benefited Guo Shoujing a lot. If you really go to those legendary academies in the south......?

Guo Shoujing felt that his mind was wavering, but the Zhongjun education he had received since childhood quickly pulled his deviated heart back to its original position. Smiling, he replied indifferently: "Prime Minister Wen asked for such a despicable means, Guo is naturally powerless to resist. But after I go, I can only learn from Lord Hao Jing, and I will not betray Yuan after being detained for 20 years, so that you can know what is the righteousness of kings and ministers in the world! ”

"I don't know what you said about the righteousness of kings and ministers, in our south, people are equal, and no one is a slave. As for whether Lord Guo rebelled against Yuan, let's talk about it later. Fang Kui shook his head and said, "You've been sleeping all these days, and you don't know what's going on outside!" I heard that there was a scholar of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Qin Tianjian Zhengqing, who was dissatisfied with the real Jin prince fooling the people with celestial phenomena, and hung up the seal and ran away. Alas, I wonder if this thing is true! ”

Listening to the large number of official names reported by Fang Kui's mouth, Guo Shoujing felt very familiar, and suddenly realized that the so-called person who ran away from the seal was himself, his face turned white with anger, pointed at Fang Kui, and scolded tremblingly: "You, you unscrupulous bandit!" You, you madman, robber......"

He wanted to rush up and fight with Fang Kui to see the other party's figure, but finally decided to give up. After a while, two lines of tears fell from his eyes, and he cried with a white face: "I still have a wife and children in my family, and the laws of Dayuan are strict......" Thinking that his wife and children had been killed by the angry Zhenjin at this moment, he finally couldn't help choking.

"Your wife, children, and servants have been sent to the south by his uncle to visit relatives, and are now in the VIP compartment of another ship. Our ship is a flagship, and it can't carry too many people who have nothing to do with combat! Fang Kui stepped forward and patted Guo Shoujing, smiling and comforting.

"Really?" Guo Shoujing asked in surprise. immediately understood that what he really cared about was his family, not some ethereal monarch and minister's righteousness. The look on his face was a little embarrassed, he wiped away his tears, and said: "It's rare for my husband to think it through, are they okay, are they frightened?" ”

"We forged your letters and tricked them into going out of the capital the same night as you. They are very bold, especially Ling Gongzi, who is extremely fond of sea boats, and has fun on the deck every day! Fang Kui replied with a smile.

Guo Shoujing shook his head slightly, the security in the capital is chaotic, so his children rarely go out to play. Suddenly I saw the sea, and naturally it was like a bird out of its cage and a horse out of its hand. Thinking about the days to come, he felt gloomy in his heart. At this time, for Da Yuan, he has become an out-and-out second minister. With the origin of the teacher, presumably his unfilial son was also used as a negative teaching material. The only thing that can comfort me in the future is the vast starry sky above my head, but the southern metropolitan governor's palace does not know how many days it can support under the power of Kublai Khan's troops.

"Come with me!" Fang Kui shook his head again and again when he saw Guo Shoujing, thinking that he regretted that he could not continue to study the stars. He beckoned to him and led him to the deck.

The wind and waves on the sea are not large, and the flagship that integrates the highest technology in the south is like a lying wavelength dragon, driving smoothly on the water. Fang Kui ordered someone to bring a bronze triangular bracket, fixed a thick pipe cast of stainless steel to it, stretched out his hand and gently pulled, the thick pipe doubled in length, like a cannon from the deck to the night sky.

"Come and see!" Fang Kui commanded in a low voice. Guo Shoujing carefully held on to the thick pipe and looked at the sky through the faint light of the pipe's mouth. "Brush!" Suddenly, the entire Milky Way was pulled in front of his eyes, and the original vague nebula became extremely clear, and stars the size of pigeon eggs with various patterns appeared in front of his eyes one after another.

"Ahh Guo Shoujing instinctively took two steps back, looked at Fang Kui in surprise, and then flew to the side of the support, looking at the starry sky greedily. This is a telescope, even more wonderful than what he saw at a prince's house last fall, the barrel is actually retractable, and the clarity of the starry sky is adjusted by adjusting the length. It was another night sky he had never seen before, clearer, purer, as warm as jade. In his lifetime, when he could see such a starry sky, Guo Shoujing suddenly felt that he heard that death was enough!

"I don't know how long the prime minister can last, Guo's lifelong volunteer is to draw a new picture of the star palace. The three constants and twenty-eight nights left by the predecessors are too old after all! After looking at the starry sky, Guo Shoujing reluctantly removed his eyes and said regretfully. In his opinion, there was absolutely no chance of victory for the remnant Song under Kublai Khan's army. Kublai Khan has never been defeated in his life, and this time in order to defeat the Song Dynasty, he is even more ruined. An emperor who even copied the powerful family of his own clan for military expenses, would he tolerate the failure of the southern expedition?

"We will never lose, Kublai Khan is just a lone husband. And all over the south of our Yangtze River, there are 20 million men standing! Lao Fang Kui looked at the morning star between the sea and the sky, and replied quietly.
