"Life without seeing each other is like participating in business. Today and tomorrow, we share the light of this lamp and candle."
"Okay!" Zhang Sheng cheered immediately after hearing this, and several people nodded.
Du Cheng saw Su Ziji write a poem with his own eyes. He admired Su Ziji's talent and admired him endlessly.
Because of this poem, the originally lively elegant room became more and more lively. Several people exchanged glasses, and after drinking, they all became drunk. Su Ziji felt that the smell of alcohol was too strong, so he opened the window to get some air.
A gust of cool autumn wind blew, and I was half drunk and immediately woke up.
You can actually see a little shadow of Panlong Lake from a distance here, but unfortunately it is not the fourth floor with the best view. On the fourth floor, you can look further and see more beautiful autumn night scenery.
In the crisp autumn season, as long as it doesn't rain, the sky is clear. Su Ziji couldn't see the lake in the distance, so he simply raised his head and looked at the sky.
If you don't look at it, you will be stunned.
"Ziji, are you stargazing?" Yu Lu saw Su Ziji with his back turned to him, looking up at the sky, motionless. He was a little curious and went up to take a look.
This window is very spacious, and the two of them can stand side by side. Yu Lu came from behind Su Ziji, and was startled when he saw it.
I saw that the sky was densely covered with stars, some twinkling, some suspended, some dim, some shining brightly. But in the north, I saw a purple star with a blazing light. This was normal.
Just by looking at it, the two of them were dazzled. From the very close space, two stars suddenly shot up and shot toward the Purple Star. Their brilliance was dazzling!
The purple star was affected by this impact, and was somewhat shifted and dimmed.
"This..." Su Ziji replied, but Yu Lu's expression suddenly changed.
"What's going on?" Scholars in this era, who can pass the examination of scholar or above, are basically well-read, not just nerds. Scholars don't know the basic stars, and they can simply become what others call "ignorant"
example of.
But although Yu Lu had a guess in his mind, he didn't dare to think about it.
Fang Wenshao, on the other hand, was the elder among the people in the room. He drank a lot and was also the drunkest one. Seeing Su Ziji and Yu Lu looking at the sky outside the window, he walked over and looked in the direction they were looking at.
Look.
"This is the Emperor Star." Fang Wenshao said something subconsciously, and then he blurted out this sentence. When he realized it, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he immediately stopped talking, not daring to say any more, and he didn't dare to think further.
In the Dazheng Succession System, the Emperor Star has an extraordinary significance. It is located in the center of the starry sky, and the stars rotate around it. Spring, summer, autumn, harvest, and winter all seem to come with it.
"Government based on virtue is like the emperor's star. It stays in its place without moving, and the stars support it."
There will not be more than one Emperor Star. Shifting means turbulence, and being gloomy means losing virtue. Until the new king takes office, it will regain its glory.
It is a grave sin to make false claims about astrology and astronomy.
When Fang Wenshao saw it, his heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but shudder.
The changes in the stars are different from the previous celestial phenomena. This time it involves the Emperor Star. If he is unlucky, he may be involved in a serious case. He may die a hundred times for a small job.
As for the banquet upstairs, the sound of silk and bamboo suddenly stopped at this time. It was like a signal, and the chatter and laughter in the room also disappeared one by one.
In this entire restaurant, the guests on the four floors all realized something one by one, and they choked their throats and became mute.
In an environment where there is no sound at all, even if someone accidentally coughs, it can be heard far away. Zhang Sheng can't stand this terrible atmosphere, but look at the three people in front of the window who are like puppets, and then look at the ugly faces.
Fang Xi, Du Cheng, and Zhang Sheng could only swallow their depression back into their stomachs.
"Master Su." In this silence, there was a continuous sound on the stairs, and Zhang Sui appeared at the door with a pale face, reminding: "The imperial envoy ordered us to assemble immediately and return to the capital immediately."
"I understand." Su Ziji said, bowing to several people in the dining room: "The matter is urgent, there is no time to talk anymore, I am waiting for you in Beijing."
After saying that, he cupped his hands and hurried outside.
When they arrived at the stairs on the second floor, they saw Luo Pei and others coming down from the stairs. Su Ziji didn't have time to get his official uniform and change into it, so he walked directly behind Luo Pei and his expression became serious.
Every one of these officials, including Su Ziji, was silent. No one said a word.
“Ride in an oxcart!”
To get back to this restaurant on the imperial envoy's boat by the lake, you need to take an ox cart. It was like this when you came here, but it went back much faster than when you came here.
Because all officials who realized the seriousness of the astrological matter were so uneasy that they had no intention of procrastinating and doing other things.
Along the way, the only sounds were the sound of wheels and the hooves of cattle. The silence kept spreading, making people feel uneasy from top to bottom.
When they finally arrived at the shore, everyone got off the oxcart and exchanged glances at most, continuing to say nothing as they prepared to board the ship.
"Greetings to the Imperial Envoy——"
Fortunately, at this time, the farewell team prepared by the prefect was still in operation. Although the time was unexpectedly advanced, a waiting host waved his hand, and the music suddenly burst out.
Luo Pei slowly stepped out of the oxcart. He was a picky person. When he heard a rhythm was out of tune, he would pay attention to it as before, but now he was just thinking about the astrology.
I declared the Dragon Girl to patrol the three provinces. The banquet was originally completed, but the stars suddenly changed, and the Emperor Star was also involved. This is so unlucky!
Is it wrong to declare a decree to canonize the Dragon Girl?
While I was thinking wildly, I had reached the boardwalk in front of the ship. Under the starlight, the waves were sparkling, and the vast lake was covered with thousands of waves crashing on the shore. I could only hear the sound of three cannons, and the sound of strings suddenly stopped.
Luo Pei was thinking about returning home and looked carefully. Although the officials seeing him off had undergone a big change and all of them looked wrong, they were still arranged in order from near to far.
Luo Pei glanced at everyone. He should have returned the greeting or made a speech, but he was not in the mood at this time. At this time, no one wanted to come forward to greet the officials. When they saw the eyes, they all immediately bowed down again. The pier was suddenly as quiet as the restaurant.
Same, no sound heard.
"You guys are sending me this, I really don't want to be the official."
"In recognition of the emperor's kindness, I was ordered to inspect the province. The mountains and rivers in the province are beautiful, the people are rich, and the quality is good enough to be well known. The officialdom, military administration, river affairs, and suffering are all very impressive."
Luo Pei had already finished typing the manuscript, but then he paused for a moment. Thinking of the weather just now, his heart suddenly became confused. He couldn't remember a word of the words he had originally prepared, so he could only say: "I will bring you all back to the capital for your hard work. Please get up."
!”
Hearing the officials breathe a sigh of relief, Luo Pei frowned, waved his hand and walked up to Banqiao, listening to the crowd below shouting: "I will respectfully see off the imperial envoy."
After getting onto Banqiao, Luo Peitie's face was livid and he didn't say a word.
Seeing him like this, Governor Zhao finally persuaded him when boarding the ship out of respect for his face: "Mr. Luo, the matter may not be as serious as you think, so please rest assured."
But once the words were spoken, even he felt unconvincing. What Luo Pei encountered this time was simply the worst situation.
