Yin Qiao's premonition was in vain, there was indeed something big happening in the ban, but it didn't necessarily affect the situation for the time being......

Let's say that Sima Ye summoned the ministers all night, including Shangshu, the main officials of the two provinces under the door, as well as the Zhuqing, and a few clansmen, just to announce a good news: "The imperial doctor has diagnosed that the queen is pregnant!" ”

I don't know if it's because Sima Ye doesn't have to work state affairs and can sow seeds diligently in the palace, or because Queen Liang's private worship of the Buddha statue taught by the silk corpse Pear Midoro has had an effect, in short, after a long time of worry by the Liang father and daughter, Queen Liang finally didn't come for a few months, and ordered the doctor to diagnose and determine that it was a happy pulse.

Sima Ye was really overjoyed, and immediately ordered the eunuch to tell the ministers about the matter, but Liang Fang of the Great Changqiu suggested: "This is Your Majesty's eldest son, and he is the son-in-law. "Sima Ye is still hesitating, after all, the queen is just pregnant, not yet in childbirth, who knows if there is a man or a woman in the belly? But Liang Fang insisted and said that this must be a son - "Even after a good year, Da Sima has recovered Jinyang, and God has blessed me with the appearance of Jin, how can I not be a prince with Your Majesty?" ”

Zhu Fei, the eunuch next to him, also echoed - Mingda happened to go out to rectify the fifth school.

Sima Ye had been looking forward to this son for a long time, and the young man was ecstatic, so his head was dizzy for a while, and he listened to the words of Liang Fang and Zhu Fei. So he summoned all the ministers and announced the good news in person, and the ministers naturally shouted long live and congratulated one after another. But after withdrawing, Wang Zhuo, who was naturally not qualified for the official position, and had to be called the same for the title, approached Yin Qiao and lowered his voice and said: "In the queen's womb, I don't know men and women, so the Son of Heaven summoned the ministers at night to announce the matter. Acting so frivolously, how can you be worthy of a great treasure? ”

Yin Qiao glanced at Wang Wenxuan, and replied lightly: "The Son of Heaven is still young, or he is bewitched by the Liang family...... of course, this "Liang family" does not refer to the queen, but to Liang Fang, the father of the queen-" It's okay. Such a faux pas, no one has a king's trip, but the ministers have nothing to say, which is the most worrying. "The implication is that no one intends to correct the emperor's mistakes, because it makes no sense, and he doesn't really treat you as a dish anyway......

Of course, he couldn't have imagined that the meat in the queen's belly would have a certain impact on the development of the court in the future.

——————————

At the same time that Sima Ye announced that the queen was pregnant, Liang Fang retreated outside the palace, but did not return to his own house, but ran to the neighbor's house and knocked on the door. The time was not long, a servant came out to greet him, Liang Fang stepped in, and saw that the master was already standing in the courtyard and waiting.

The owner was a woman, dressed very simply, with her long black hair tied up, tied only with a blue ribbon, and a hairpin inserted, and no jewelry on her head. His face is clear and beautiful without a little flattery, his complexion is natural and white without fat powder, and there are only some crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, which shows that his youth has passed away and his age is not young.

Liang Fang stepped forward, bowed his hand, and said, "Everyone Wei." ”

The name of "everyone" has a very wide range of uses in the world, such as women calling mothers-in-law, servants calling masters, and even close ministers or concubines calling the Son of Heaven; However, calling women as men, and it is obvious that Liang Fang is not his slave, is to respect his knowledge and virtues - for example, the female historian Ban Zhao is often called "Cao Dajia" (her husband's surname is Cao), and Yu Meiren, the mother of Emperor Chong of the Han Dynasty, is also commonly referred to as "everyone" because she has no honorific title.

And this "Wei family" is the daughter of the first Situ Wei Shu, the wife of the former Taibao Peng Liu Wen, and her maiden name is Huacun. She is naturally Taoist, good at reading Lao and Zhuang, and it is said that she also got the secret biography of the pure and true person Wang Bao, and was taught the "Shangqing Halal Sutra" and "Huangting Neijing Sutra", and learned the art of longevity and long-term vision - in fact, she is already seventy years old, but she looks like fifty is not enough, and forty is quite enough......

In the original history, after the "Yongjia Rebellion", Mrs. Wei migrated to Jiangnan with the public and served as the Heavenly Master Taoist sacrificial wine, and thus created a faction of the Shangqing Dynasty, known as "Mrs. Nanyue", until the "Zixu Yuanjun". But in this timeline, the Central Plains is chaotic and resettled, and the crisis is restored, of course, there is no need to run south. She originally lived in seclusion in Rencheng, her hometown, because her two sons Liu Pu and Liu Fangshi were in the Jin Dynasty, this time she deliberately went to Luoyang to see her son, and wanted to go west to Guanzhong and enter Nanshan to visit Louguan.

Mrs. Wei Qinghua was noble, and she was proficient in reasoning, and when she arrived in Luoyang, she was naturally unanimously respected by the government and the opposition, and almost stole half of the limelight from the corpse Pear Midoro - after all, the Chinese at that time still saw Buddha and worshiped Buddha, and most of them did not have a specific religious belief. Liang Fangcha was next to the Liu family, so he came to the door with a lot of money and begged Mrs. Wei to teach him the art of getting a man. Mrs. Wei said at the time: "The Son of Heaven has his own son in his life, and when he comes, he is seedling, and the melons are ripe and falling, so why bother for it?" ”

Now that the queen is pregnant, of course Liang Fang wants to thank Mrs. Wei, and by the way, she asks: "In the queen's womb, is it really the concubine of the heavenly family?" ”

Mrs. Wei stretched out her hand and pointed to the sky, and asked lightly, "What did Liang Gong see?" ”

Liang Fang craned her neck and glanced at the dark night sky a few times, not knowing what it meant, she could only reply: "But see the stars." ”

Mrs. Wei smiled slightly: "Can you see where Beichen lives, and the stars arch over?" Beichen, the emperor star, the emperor star shines, the brilliance is bright, so what doubts does Liang Gongshang have? ”

In fact, she didn't answer Liang Fang's question at all, neither said whether the queen's birth was male or female, nor did she mention whether she should be in harmony with the emperor star if she got a man. But Liang Fang instinctively made up for it, and felt that the lady meant it - the queen in the belly was naturally the elder, and she would definitely inherit the treasure in the future and rule all directions!

Therefore, he was overjoyed, and bowed again and again without mentioning it.

At the same time, hundreds of miles away, there are also two people who are stargazing, one of them is Guo Pu Guo Jingchun, the "sacrificial wine" of the Great Sima Shogunate, and the other is Shi Yu Xi Yu Zhongning of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Yu Xi was used by Pei Cai, ordered him to observe the sky and measure the phenomena, revise the calendar, and after he had been behind closed doors for a period of time, he took the initiative to visit Guo Pu and wanted to discuss the astrological problem with Guo Jingchun. originally thought that Guo Jingchun would be able to stargaze and occupy the Northeast as a major general, he must be a great talent in the world, who would have thought that it would be better to be famous when they met, although the other party's understanding of the starry sky is not general, there is still a gap of 108,000 miles from Yu Xi himself......

Then how did you make a good prophecy in response to the celestial phenomena and personnel? Guo Pu naturally didn't dare to divulge Pei Gai's secret, so he had to say perfunctorily: "Although divination and astrology are combined, they are not reasonable. If the words are shallow, Zhong Ning will think that he is deceitful, and he is afraid that Zhong Ning will be puzzled...... "Stargazing and fortune-telling are two different things, have you ever learned fortune-telling?" Haven't studied? That's easy......

After a cloud and mountain fog cover, Yu Xi was dumbfounded, but he soon came back to his senses, which was completely contrary to his interests. He lost interest in Guo Pu, but Guo Jingchun hurriedly posted it, asked Yu Xi for astronomical questions in three days, and made suggestions to Pei Gai many times to give Yu Xi funding.

This is Yu Xi with the first financial allocation, in the southeast of Chang'an City, on the Longshou Plain, build a high tower, up and down five floors, when the weather is fine, stand on the top floor, almost the entire Chang'an City can be seen. Of course, he built this tower not to overlook the four fields, but to look up at the starry sky, because he could not find a third like-minded person in the city, so he invited Guo Pu to share his joy and research results.

Yu Xi stargazing, aiming to calculate the trajectory of the stars to measure the solar terms of the four seasons; And Guo Pu's stargazing is mainly for the purpose of responding to personnel and asserting blame. So after looking at it for a while, Guo Pu asked: "Zhong Ning, you look at the Beichen Emperor Star, is it still bright?" Have there been any offenders in recent days? ”

Yu Xi only thought that Guo Pu was worried about the battle situation in Xingyang, so he smiled faintly and said: "You want to respond to personnel with celestial phenomena, and I don't know what you have learned, but since Xiaohui, until Yongjia, I have not seen any real offense against Ziwei, and it has been the same recently." "That means, in the past ten years, I haven't seen any special changes in the stars, and it can be seen that there is chaos on the ground, and there is basically no connection with the stars in the sky—or there is a connection, but I can't see it, so I can't tell you.

Guo Pu's expression was slightly nervous and disappointed, and he hurriedly asked: "The emperor star is very bright tonight, is it a sign of the firmness of the society......

Yu Xi squinted at Guo Pu, his heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help laughing: "Do you know that although Beichen is surrounded by stars, it is not in the middle of the sky?" ”

Guo Pu blinked blankly and asked, "Is it difficult...... Has the imperial residence shifted? ”

Yu Xi said with a smile: "The emperor's residence shifts every year - Jun Dan sees that the starry sky is different from each other, and Baichen turns around the North Pole, but according to a certain calculation, even if the starry sky on the same day, there are subtle differences in each year. As he spoke, he pointed to the stars and explained: "The words of the sages are many, and the first record of seeing Beichen is in the Book of Han, Yun: 'The Heavenly Pole Star in the Middle Palace, one of them is a clear one, and the permanent residence of Taiyi. Or maybe the North Star at that time was indeed in the middle of the heavens. However, the one who is now in the middle of the heavens is the ...... of the heavens."

While talking, he will produce a large stack of drafts, and explain the specific steps of his calculation to Guo Pu in detail. Guo Pu naturally understands or doesn't understand - I know you are talented, since you have the result, I won't calculate, anyway, I won't ...... It's just a look on his face, as if he suddenly realized:

"As Zhong Ning said, the Emperor Star of the Han Dynasty actually lives in the middle of the sky, and it shifts every year, but today the one in it is Tianshu - it is Tianshu that deserves the name of Beichen Emperor Star! Sure enough, since the Han Dynasty, the four seas have been sown, and there have been no soldiers within ten years, Wei, Wu and other countries, and Bangzuo have not been able to respond to the stars for a long time, and they have not been able to respond to the stars and ...... the stars."

He said this very clearly, the unified Han Dynasty lasted for more than 400 years, after the death of the Han Dynasty was Wei, and the country was only more than 50 years, and then the Jin, which is also more than 50 years, which is less than 100 years old, can be regarded as a short-lived dynasty. So why can't the dynasty last? Of course, it's because Emperor Star is in the process of migrating and changing. Now that the new emperor star has been in place, it naturally indicates that a new unified dynasty is about to be born, and Guozuo will be able to follow the two Han Dynasty!

When Yu Xi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned - he really hadn't thought about it that much before. It's just that although Yu Zhongning is not interested in Guo Pu's set, after all, Dong Zhongshu's "heaven and man induction" weft science has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even Yu Zhongning cannot be completely free from vulgarity, and become a materialist philosopher after Wang Chong, so I listened to what Guo Pu said - this seems reasonable!

He was humble and didn't dare to think deeply, so he hurriedly waved his hand at Guo Puyi: "Guo Jun, this statement comes out of the mouth of the king and enters my ears, be careful not to vent it lightly, I am afraid it will cause trouble." Guo Pu said: "Don't worry, I naturally know the severity ......."

Guo Pu stayed overnight at Yu Xi's "stargazing platform", and the next morning before dawn he drove west, waited for the city gate to open, and then hurried back to the government office. However, before his ass could sit firmly, he suddenly received an urgent report, saying that General Zhen had entered the Taibai Mess and was defeated and lost!

Guo Jingchun's first reaction: Zhen Sui, that barbarian will also be defeated? That's impossible!

——————————

To everyone's surprise, Zhen Sui did lose the battle.

Let's say that he was ordered to lead his troops to leave Chang'an this time to conquer the chaos at the foot of Taibai Mountain. Taibai Mountain is one of the peaks of the Qinling Mountains, located in the south of Shiping Kingdom, beyond the mountain and to the south, it is Hanzhong County of Liangzhou. Hanzhong also has many Rong troops, among which the dominant number is the Ba Yi, which is the same origin as the Li clan of the Cheng Han Dynasty, and most of the various departments refuse to take danger and disobey the official army - whether it is the Jin army or the Cheng army, they all have no recruitment.

After stabilizing the fertile soil of the basin around Nanzheng, in order to prevent the future attack on Chenghan, Zhudi would be harassed by the Zhuqi Society, so he sent small troops into the mountains to suppress bandits many times. Many of the Di tribes were broken by the Jin army and burned to the ground, and the remnants were forced to flee north across the mountains and enter the territory of Shiping State, and then instigated the local residents to loot the Jin people and disperse the people.

Since Pei Gai entered the customs, that is, since the Bumeng, Lifei and other Qiang tribes in Feng Yi's territory, he has successively surrendered or exterminated the Rong tribes in Yongzhou. According to the policy of Guanzhong Xingtai, the Rong Fu is higher than the Jin Fu, but if you can wear Jin clothes, speak Jin language, and use Chinese customs, you can treat you as a Jin citizen and no longer raise taxes. On the surface, this policy helped Zhu Rong to integrate into China, but it was also inevitable that some people would be marginalized because of their hard habits and Jin language, and they would resent, so they were instigated by Ba Yi and started rebellion.

At that time, it was reported to Chang'an, saying that there were only two or three thousand rebels, and that they were gathering at the foot of Taibai Mountain—this was not so much a rebel as a bandit. Tao Kan ordered Zhen Sui to go to the expedition, but Zhen Suichu didn't care, and only mobilized more than 600 soldiers from his headquarters, and then rashly went west.

But who would have thought that by the time he approached Taibai Mountain, the number of rebels had surged to more than 5,000. Zhen was accustomed to arrogance, and there was still a trace of vigilance in the face of a strong enemy, just suppressing bandits, but he thought that as soon as the master arrived, he would be exposed to snow in the spring sun, and the ice would collapse in an instant, so he rebelled against Hu, and he launched a frontal offensive before he could carefully understand the situation.

At first, the fight was quite smooth, and when they approached the foot of the mountain, the rebels fled into the mountains one after another. But then a rebel Hu Dou copied the Jin army, looking for an opportunity to launch a front and rear attack, resulting in Zhen Sui's defeat, and finally broke through the siege and retreated west to the shore of Mangshui. The rebel Hu was in hot pursuit, and the sergeants were all afraid—mainly because Zhen Sui had almost never suffered defeat, and this initial setback, his undefeated image in the minds of the soldiers immediately collapsed—and they all asked to rush across the Mangshui and flee to Xulu.

Zhen Sui reprimanded: "What are you panicking about? The old man has eaten more defeats than you have eaten, so what's there to panic about?! ”
