Chapter 128: The most important thing to avoid when doing things is to look forward and backward
“Here comes someone!”
A roar that shook the ground like thunder.
Emperor Longqing opened the curtain with force and glared angrily at the palace attendants who heard the sound.
When the chief steward Wei Xi got the news and hurried over, several palace servants who had died were already dragged out.
Under the lamp, Wei Xi's expression changed drastically. He adjusted his mind and rushed in. As soon as he arrived in the bedroom, he knelt down on the ground without saying a word.
"My slave is late! Please punish me!"
Don't ask what happened. The king was so angry that his body floated thousands of miles away. Wei Xi, with his head on the ground, just begged Emperor Longqing to calm down.
Wei Xi glanced at the tip of the sword stuck on the ground. Scarlet blood flowed from top to bottom and flowed all over the ground. He felt chilled in his heart.
What's wrong with the Emperor?
A killing spree.
He lowered his body lower.
Killing a powerful man in the palace relieved a lot of anger in his heart. At this time, Emperor Longqing regained some of his sense.
"Next time, pick some people with good ears and put them in the palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Xicheng replied fearfully.
It is not easy to serve a king, especially Emperor Longqing, who has become wanton in temperament in recent years. Wei Xi complained secretly in his heart, but did not dare to show it on his face.
I don’t know which batch of palace people he has selected for the imperial palace.
Emperor Longqing didn't call him, so he didn't dare to move.
"I want to go to the Star Observatory personally."
Wei Xi went out with the order, and Wang Jia went to the Qintian Prison late at night.
Qin Tianjian, star observatory.
Tonight is filled with clouds and fog, and the stars are blocked. It is not a good day for observing.
Wang Yu took his student and subordinate Qintian Supervisor Li Shaoqing. The master and apprentice were covered with thick cloaks. They sat around the brazier on the left and right in the cold night. In front of Li Shaoqing There is a low table with pens, ink, paper, inkstones and tools for observing the stars spread out on it.
Stargazing in the past didn’t have to be so troublesome, but tonight is a little special.
The two sat at the stargazing platform for a long time, waiting for the night fog to dissipate.
"If God does not allow us to get a glimpse of the secret tonight, it is also the destiny of the country." Wang Yu, the supervisor of the Qintian Supervisor, was not very optimistic about this.
Li Shaoqing put his hands in his sleeves and looked up to the sky. There was so much cloud and mist that there was no starlight.
The observatory is at a high place. When Taizu founded the country, he specifically asked the ancestors of the Xie family to seek instructions from the gods and chose a place in the side hall of Daliang Palace to locate it. The platform is ninety-nine steps high, which means Jiujiuyiyi, made of white marble, with exquisite reliefs and swirling cloud patterns from bottom to top.
One is the number of heaven and earth. It is the supreme courtesy to use this place to welcome heaven and humans to the world.
Whenever the emperors of Daliang encountered difficult problems, they would worship heaven here and pray for blessings and ancestors at the Ancestral Temple in order to seek enlightenment.
Shortly after Wang Jia left the imperial palace, Wei Xi sent someone to Qintian Prison in advance to deliver a message to Wang Yu, the prison guard.
Above the high platform, the air is cold and cool, and everything in the surrounding fields is quiet. Occasionally, the crow sounds can be heard suddenly, but it is not clear.
Standing high and far away, the entire palace is under their eyes. This place is closest to heaven and earth, but also closest to danger.
Wang Yu asked Li Shaoqing: "Have you thought clearly about the things I mentioned to you when you go back?"
Li Shaoqing replied sincerely: "Sir, the student has thought clearly. Your words are from the bottom of my heart. Every word is for the sake of the student's life and future. In the future, he will follow his teacher's arrangements. If he can leave the palace safely in the future, he will follow his teacher's instructions and leave for the north. "
Wang Yu turned to look at him, " Have you thought about it?”
Li Shaoqing nodded and said: “Student, if the world is unstoppable, students should follow the trend. It's not helpful. The teacher's words are reasonable. It's best to break down the good trees and live there. "Wang Yu felt relieved when he saw that his apprentice was no longer stuck in the old principles.
"It's just that the student still has one thing that I don't understand. Please ask my teacher to clarify my doubts." Li Shaoqing thought of the divination question in the afternoon, and felt confused in his heart.
Wang Yu was quite surprised, "What is it that I don't understand?"
Li Shaoqing thought for a while and said: "The emperor's star is twinned, and its elephants are evenly matched, and they are in a stalemate. If the dragon and the tiger are fighting like this for a long time, the people in the world will be the most miserable. When the time comes, all life will be in ruins. Shaoqing will help one of them. I don't know. "Whether it's a merit or a fault."
Wang Yu thought it was confusion, but felt relieved when he saw that Li Shaoqing was confused about this matter.
"If you can think like this, it can be seen that the good intentions still exist, and this heart is towards the light, which is a thing that benefits all people, a thing that benefits all living beings. Why bother to care about merits and demerits. If this heart is for one's own glory and wealth, then Your merits and demerits will be determined by your fortune, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
“A gentleman’s heart should be open-minded,” Wang Yu said with a smile.
Li Shaoqing was thoughtful when he heard the words.
“It’s students who are stupid.”
Wang Yu shook his head and said: “You are not stupid, you are just young and have too little experience, but it is not a bad thing, gentleman. It is also a good thing to do something or not to do something. You will never make a big mistake if you are careful. However, the world will be in chaos, and the laws of the prosperous age are not so suitable. A man should not stick to trivial matters. If you can have a big heart, you can do small things. Then you won’t be too entangled. People who do things are most afraid of looking forward and backward. You must remember it!”
Li Shaoqing said: “Keep it in mind.” Only through experience can you gain something. "Wang Yu has lived half a century and has already seen the other side of this vain life. It's a pity that he has been immersed in this officialdom for a long time, so there is no way to quit.
At the end of the war, it is difficult to turn the tide.
In the sky, the fog turned from thick to light. Gradually, the gray clouds became thinner and soon dispersed.
The bright moon is in the sky, the moonlight is cold and bright, the stars are shining above the night, and the light and darkness complement each other.
"Record it."
"Yes, my lord."
Li Shaoqing opened the disk, Wang Yu looked up at the sky, the vast and boundless stars were pulling each other, he After watching it for a long time, he pointed to a star somewhere on the northern side of the sky and said, "Shaoqing, look at that star. Did it appear yesterday?"
Li Shaoqing put down his pen and looked in the direction pointed by Wang Yu. When I went there, I saw an auxiliary star shining brightly in the upper right corner of the Northern Territory Emperor Star. Not only that, but behind the auxiliary star, there were actually several general stars surrounding the Emperor Star today.
Li Shaoqing stood up in shock, as if he could see more clearly if he stood up.
Wang Yu then stood up, and the master and apprentice looked at the northern star map.
"Its momentum is like a flame and can no longer be stopped." Wang Yu said for a long time.
Li Shaoqing was silent for a long time, "His Majesty will definitely be furious."
Wang Yu looked at the night sky and suddenly found that the sky was extinguishing and then covered up again. The clouds and mist filled the sky, making it difficult to see clearly.
"Don't worry, you can look back."
Li Shaoqing looked back and looked at Wang Yu for a moment: "A secret has suddenly appeared?"
Wang Yu didn't either Knowing the secret, at this moment, officials from Qintian Prison came to report, and the emperor personally drove!
Wang Yu raised his eyes and looked at Li Shaoqing: "Don't talk nonsense."
Li Shaoqing nodded: "Student knows."
The two turned around and climbed down the steps to greet the Holy Master.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, please forgive me for being late to pick you up, Wang Yu!"
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, for my late arrival to pick you up, Li Shaoqing."
Emperor Long Qing is here On the chariot, he leaned his forehead and glanced at the two of them, then said in a low voice: "Is there any change in the sky tonight?"
