Chapter 358: A Star

"Holy." The old Taoist entered the Qianqing Palace, slowly raised his head, and there was one eye that was blind and knotted. It looks like there's a scar. As soon as the old Taoist priest came in, he was given a seat by Zhu Youzhen and sat on the side. The bamboo cane in his hand leaned against the vermilion dragon pillar. The eye, which was not yet blind, looked around the hall.

"It's been a long time since the prison has come to see me." Unexpectedly, Zhu Youzhen would treat this Qintian Supervisor wearing a Taoist robe so politely.

The old Taoist nodded and said, "It's better not to see nothing, this is coming, there is always something to come to see the saint." During the Apocalypse, the explosion in Wang Gongchang, I don't know if the saint still has an impression? ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded and said, "Could it be that the prison is finding out the situation?" ”

"The explosion during the Apocalypse, when the sky in the capital was bright, suddenly there was a roar, from the northeast of the city to the southwest corner of the city, and at the same time a huge fireball rolled in the air. In the loud noise, the sky was full of silky and tidal colorless clouds flying sideways, and there were large, black mushroom and Ganoderma lucidum clouds standing straight up in the southwest corner of the city like pillars.

In an instant, the sky was dark, dust and fire flew, the sky collapsed, and the ten thousand rooms were flat. From Fuchengmen in the east to Xingbu Street in the north, wood, stones, human bodies, and poultry corpses rained down from the sky like raindrops. Tens of thousands of houses and more than 20,000 people were blown into powder, rubble flew into the air, clothes flew as far as Changping, and the dead were naked.

The craftsmen who were working in the Forbidden City were shaken off the tall scaffolding, and 2,000 people fell into "meat bags". The imperial historian He Qianshu and Pan Yunyi were shocked to death in the Qianqing Palace, and the He family and Pan family, who lived in the southwest of the city, were buried in the soil. ”

Lao Dao got up, took the cane, and continued: "There are different opinions on the cause. However, the Holy One still remembers that time. Did the old minister say anything? ”

"Yin soldiers borrowed the way?" Zhu Youjian trembled the cup in his hand, raised his head and asked. The so-called Yin Soldiers. Then it is definitely not a person from the yang world. These people of the underworld escorted a large number of unjust spirits through a certain area in the middle of the night, and they had to reach their destination before the sun came out.

What the old man said that day was just to explain what was beyond the reach of human beings with the help of ghosts and gods. In this way, Xizong can also take advantage of this to issue an edict for his own crimes and amnesty the world. At that time, many virtuous people who were killed by the Wei Party survived through this amnesty. ”

Zhu Youzhen was taken aback, and nodded after a long time. said: "Maybe at that time, the imperial brother will understand that in the court, the Wei Party cannot completely have the final say, and if you want to change the situation, it's a pity that it's ......" He sighed slightly.

"Please follow the old way to move outside the hall, the main topic that the old minister wants to talk about today is not that incident."

The two walked out of the Qianqing Palace, and the sky was full of stars. The front of the Qianqing Palace is extremely open, the terrain is extremely high, overlooking the four directions, you can see the sky. Lao Dao has an extra life chart in his hand. He muttered, "Can you see the star next to the crape myrtle star?" ”

"Which one is it?" The crape myrtle is bright, and Zhu Youzhen can naturally find it, but the one that the old man pointed to. I don't know which one it is. Lao Dao muttered, "It's the star on the edge of the Ziwei Emperor Star." The one that flickered and flickered, flickering. ”

"The commercial supervisor is correct. Is there anything special about this star? "Zhu Youzhen doesn't quite understand why he hasn't seen Qintian for five years. As soon as he entered the palace, he and he will be the explosion of the apocalypse, as well as this astrological sign.

"Holy." The old man held the astrolabe in his hand and said, "This star is a new star that was born after that explosion. ”

Zhu Youjian held the white jade railing with his hand, a little cool, but it just lowered the heat for him and sweated in the palm of his hand, a new star produced by the explosion? Or was this star the one who started the explosion? He knew that all this, since Lao Dao came, he should give him a reasonable explanation. After five or six years, the explosion that killed and injured more than 20,000 people is still fresh in his memory, even as King Shin.

In the summer of that year, a flood broke out in Beijing, and drought and locust plagues occurred in Jiangbei and Shandong. In the autumn of that year, there was another big flood in Jiangbei, and a locust plague appeared in Henan. The north and south of the river are in trouble, and the people are not happy; Inside and outside the court, crises lurk. In August of the following year, his elder brother, accompanied by Hakka, Wei Zhongxian and others, went to Xiyuan to play on a cruise. Drinking on a big boat in the shallow water north of the bridge, and going to a small boat in deep water with Wang Tiqian, Wei Zhongxian and two cronies and little eunuchs, but the boat was overturned by a gust of wind, and accidentally fell into the water, almost drowning.

Although he was rescued, after this fright, he fell to the root of the disease, and many treatments were ineffective, and his health deteriorated. Shangshu Huo Weihua offered a kind of "immortal medicine", called Linglu drink, which can be persuaded to achieve immediate results and live a long life. Zhu Youxiao drank it according to his words, and it was really sweet and delicious, so he took it every day. After drinking it for a few months, I got bloating disease, and gradually became swollen and bedridden.

In the end, the brother died and the younger brother died, and the throne was in the hands of Zhu Youzhen.

Lao Dao saw that Zhu Youzhen was thinking about things, so he continued: "Because of a series of chaos and tragedies later, Lao Dao once thought that this star was a disaster star that would threaten the Ming Dynasty. This is a general star, the beginning of the apocalypse, flourishing at the beginning of the second year. Originally, Ziwei was unstable, but with the appearance of this star, Ziwei Star seems to be stable. ”

"Then why does the imperial brother ......?"

The old Taoist priest turned around and said, "Xizong's death is mainly related to the medicine he took and the root of the disease. ”

"What is the explanation for the drought and flood and locust plague that followed later? And it continues to this day. "Zhu Youzhen seems to have grasped some key place, as if he got rid of that disaster star, and the Ming Dynasty would be saved. He looked up at the star, which could be seen flickering with the naked eye, and said, "It's ...... Isn't it fast...... Fallen? ”

"Yes, Holy One. It is indeed about to fall. But that's definitely not a good thing. It is true that the star will shine too brightly, but once this star falls, I am afraid that the emperor star will ......" He shook his head and said no more. Some words, if they are too explicit, are not good. The astrolabe in his hand turned slightly, and he didn't know what he was measuring.

Zhu Youzhen put his hands behind his back and murmured: "Then the prison knows who this general is?" ”

The old eunuch shook his head and said, "This has to be seen by the saint himself." He took out a few pieces of paper from his cuffs tremblingly, and said: "Lao Chen has often observed the sky for several years, and he is also particularly concerned about this star. ”

The more Zhu Youzhen listened, the more it was not a taste, and suddenly his eyebrows widened, and he spit out two words from his mouth.

"Yang Fan!?" (To be continued......)
