The night is already extremely deep, and in Luoyang City, the capital of the Great Qi Dynasty, the hustle and bustle of the day has not calmed down as the night gradually deepens. Only a few years have passed since the turmoil that has lasted for many years, and the aftermath has yet to subside.

However, this capital, which is home to a large number of princes and dignitaries, has already recovered its former prosperity because of these people with high spending power. In front of various high-end restaurants and Qinglou Chu Pavilions, it can be said that business is booming, traffic is busy, and it is a scene of peace and prosperity.

Of course, this kind of prosperity and peace and prosperity is only limited to the inner city where the princes and dignitaries live. The civilians living in the outer city, as well as the outcast settlements around the capital that poured into the capital, still looked depressed. There is hardly a pedestrian on the streets, except for the night watchman and the crores who lean on the door, and some casinos and the like.

The poor are not entitled to pleasure, and those things are limited to the princes, nobles, and wealthy merchants. Not to mention anything else, the most upscale Pinyuexuan restaurant in Luoyang City, a table of third-class banquets costs three times. And this kind of banquet is just two cold dishes excluding wine, two meat, two vegetarian dishes.

A table of eighteen dishes of fine wine, without fifteen yuan is not to think about it. As for wanting to eat a meal in this restaurant, the famous Yellow River carp of the Yellow River has to be ordered. A Yellow River carp specially cooked by the shop will cost the same money. A pot of low-grade old wine brewed in the restaurant also costs 300 yuan. If you order a pot of the best sword Nanchun, you will have to pay consistently.

Yicui Building, the most luxurious place in the inner city, even if you just listen to a small song, you will need two copper coins. If you add it to the song and dance, you will double it. Drinking a meal of flower wine, even if you only find two prostitutes to accompany you, it will cost you ten yuan. If you want to stay overnight further, even if it is a third-rate product, you have to go out of the way.

If you want to spend the night with a Qingqi person, don't even think about it, not counting the reward money for those teapots, servants, and maids. If you go into the gold cave once, even if you only sit for half an hour, you don't have a twenty or thirty yuan system, and you can figure it out. As for wanting to repay the account after playing? That's not to even think about.

How many people dare to rely on the accounts of the deputy privy envoys of the court? Although people don't admit that this place of selling money is their own store, how many people in Luoyang City don't know him, the second housekeeper in charge of the house here? A strip is handed into Jingzhao Mansion, and if you don't die, you have to peel off the skin. Complain? The left capital of the Imperial History Observatory is a frequent visitor.

In ordinary people's three times of money, you can live the month of January. The vast majority of ordinary people don't have the ability and mood to go to Pinyuexuan to eat a Yellow River carp or order a third-rate banquet. It is even more impossible to go to Yicuilou to listen to a small song and drink a meal of flower wine with a starting price of ten yuan, these pleasures are only reserved for princes and nobles, wealthy businessmen.

Among the residents who occupy the best place at the foot of the Son of Heaven, most of the common people are still in order to save a little lighting, and they will die early. It's just that in this inner city, which is full of singing and dancing, and has long since returned to its former glory, not all officials are addicted to pleasure.

A mansion that is very close to the palace, so close that you can see the main entrance of the palace when you raise your eyes, but the overall scale is not large but it looks very elegant, a middle-aged man who looks very elegant looks worried when he looks at the stars in the sky in a pavilion in the courtyard.

This middle-aged man with a frown on his brows is none other than Yuan Zhizheng, the Qintian Supervisor of the current dynasty. As the descendant of Yuan Tiangang, a master of the former Tang Dynasty and Feng Shui, this Qin Tianjian can be said to be a family scholar. Not only proficient in Feng Shui and metaphysics, but also in the astrological circles, he is nowhere else in the current dynasty.

And the reason for the frowning of this man who is proficient in metaphysics at the moment is nothing else, it is the astrological signs. After dinner, he was habitually stargazing as a pastime, but he inadvertently saw the linkage of the three evil stars, a celestial phenomenon that has not been encountered in a hundred years. When the Broken Army Star first moved and slid to the northwest, he didn't pay much attention to it.

In all dynasties, even in the heyday, there were more or less rebellions. The entry of the surrounding minority regimes into the Koukou, even during the reign of Zhenguan in the former Tang Dynasty and the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, has never subsided. So when the broken army star moved and slid to the northwest, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

The Dangxiang Qiang and Liao people who live there are three feet of waves when there is no wind on weekdays. Right now, the world has just experienced a big chaos, and it's not normal for those Hu people not to find something. What's more, he is full of poetry and books, and he knows very well that the hatred he formed with the party members during the founding of this dynasty cannot be said to be the hatred of exterminating the clan, but he did not go there.

However, at present, the strength of the party Xiangqiang can no longer be compared with when it occupied the northwest in several states. The land is barren and poor, and it is mainly a nomadic area. In its heyday, it was the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the world was in turmoil, and it was not able to immediately drive the Central Plains. Compared with Tubo and Shatuo, its strength is still too far behind.

At present, the vitality is greatly damaged, and the remnants of the tribe are consciously divided by the imperial court. Even if there are eloquent figures, their own strength is limited. Coupled with the Hexi Corridor and Longyou Road, Ningxia Mansion in the north has always been known for being barren. Even if there are some storms, it will affect the northwest corner at most.

As for the mainland, I'm afraid they won't even be able to get through the western capital of Chang'an. As long as Dang Xiangqiang does not have the strength to invade the interior, it will be far more than to the point of misery. Although the northwest is definitely going to be eroded, it itself is inhabited by Hu and Han, and even many places are dominated by Hu people, and the impact on the interior is not very great.

If the Broken Army Star fell to the northwest, it didn't worry him too much. Then the Seven Killing Star and the Greedy Wolf Star also made abnormal movements, and when they slid to Guangnan West Road in the south and Chuandong Road in the southwest, he couldn't hold his breath anymore. The linkage of the three malevolent stars has only one indication in astrology, that is, the world has changed hands and changed dynasties.

There have been successive changes of dynasties, and there is no time when there is no great chaos in this world. And the chaos in the world means that the world will fall into a shortage of soldiers and wars. For this astrological master, the imperial court does not matter, there has been no immortal country since ancient times. But the common people of this world will suffer from the disaster of war again.

It's just that this Qin Tianjian is a little incomprehensible, or a little incomprehensible. The current reigning emperor is not a faint monarch, he is known as shrewd and capable, and he can be regarded as making great efforts, no matter what, he can't see that he is a stupid and incompetent person, how can there be such a change in the sky?

Thinking of the shortcomings in the government over the years, as well as those greedy princes and nobles, Yuan Zhizheng sighed slightly. Although the current emperor can be regarded as diligent, he can be regarded as decisive in killing. But in some ways, it still seems a little too indecisive.

I know where those so-called stubborn diseases of the ancestral family law are, but I can't cut off the stubborn diseases ruthlessly. In terms of sorting out the government and gathering military power, what he did was Reilly. However, on some issues, we have never been able to make up our minds. In some respects, even with the emperor's return to power, the problems have intensified.

Although it is difficult for the chaos in the northwest to reach the mainland, if we add Guangnan West Road and Chuandong Road, the world is taking advantage of the chaos to rise up and rise up, it is impossible for the world to be chaotic. If it is coupled with the current rising national situation, the Northern Liao, which has been slashing outside the Great Wall since the early years of the founding of the country, may be broken in an instant.

What kind of prince will Xiangning have? It's not just the Emperor Taizu of this dynasty who will rebel. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who were reckless back then, rebelled, but they also attracted the world's heroes to rise up, causing the death of Qiang Qin III. In the late Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, which eventually overthrew the Han dynasty.

If it was in other dynasties, even if Guangnan West Road was chaotic, it would be difficult to spread to the mainland. But this dynasty is very different, because in Guangnan West Road, there is known as the first hero of the founding of the country, the only one who was named the king of the county among the founding heroes, and was replaced by the two emperors of Taizu and Taizong.

Although the Yongye field given is only 3,000 mu, it is not less than half of the Yongye field granted by Taizu, who has more than 20 sons and daughters as princes. However, relying on the two emperors of Taizu and Taizong, after setting the national capital based on agriculture, they were granted the right to monopolize trade by sea.

And rely on years of painstaking management, and even ingenuity. The two Zhejiang East and West Road, Fujian Road, Huguang South Road, Jiangnan West Road, almost all tea gardens, porcelain kilns, and Jiangnan Zhulu Sancheng silk and satin workshops have been annexed or controlled successively, and the county palace that has accumulated is known as the county palace with three points of talent and wealth.

The greedy wolf star that landed on Guangnan West Road, except that it should be in that county palace, Yuan Zhizheng couldn't think of where it would be. In the wild land on Guangnan West Road, which has always been dominated by barbarians, I am afraid that only the people in the county king's mansion have the ability to stir up the mountains and rivers to change color.

Looking at the linkage of the three murderous stars that would almost certainly cause chaos in the world, Yuan Zhizheng shook his head powerlessly. As a master of metaphysics, and as the supervisor of the current dynasty, he could only sigh slightly. Less than two years have passed since that turmoil, and the capital is once again in a state of singing and dancing.

Few of the princes and ministers of the dynasty were able to learn a lesson. Relying on the emperor alone, how much can he see? If you report to the court yourself, I am afraid that more people will accuse you of being alarmist. What's more, the astrological signs, in the eyes of most people who are silent and confused, are still things that are believed in and not believed. If it is not done well, it will even become a tool for some people to compete for power and profit.

Just when he was worried, his feet suddenly warmed. A little girl with bright eyes and bright teeth and pigtails on her head, although she was only two or three years old at the moment, but at first glance she was a beautiful embryo, hugged his leg and shouted, "Daddy, I haven't told Yaya a story tonight." Daddy doesn't like Yaya anymore, otherwise Yaya shouted at you a few times and ignored others? ”

Looking at his beloved daughter holding his legs, Yuan Zhizheng couldn't help but let go of the troubles in his heart. picked up his beloved daughter, gently held him in his arms, and said softly: "Daddy was just thinking about something, and I didn't hear Yaya's shout." In Daddy's heart, Yaya will always be Daddy's dearest baby, how can Daddy not like Yaya? Daddy, I'm going to tell Yaya a story. ”

just picked up his beloved daughter and turned around to leave the pavilion, but Yuan Zhizheng, who was still worried in his heart, didn't see that in the night sky at this moment, above the light of the three murderous stars, a new big star was rising. Although the light is still very weak, it is constantly increasing.
