Father can be an enemy to the country

Three days later, His Royal Highness the King of Chu moved to Dongwusuo.

To be precise, it is Qiandong Wusuo. It is located in the northeast corner of Neiting, north of Neiting East Road and Qianyingmen. It is far away across the Imperial Garden from the Fifth Ganxi Institute in the northwest corner of the inner court.

Although the five east and west palaces are still in the inner court, they are separated from the six east and west palaces by palace gates. They are places where the princes and grandsons who have reached the age of twelve live before their wedding.

Because it is the residence of the prince, it cannot be called a palace, so it can only be called a 'place'. Dongwusuo, as the name suggests, is five independent courtyards separated by a wall. From west to east, they are Tousuo, Second Suo, Third Suo, Fourth Suo, and Fifth Suo.

Among them, the first one was originally the residence of the King of Qin, the second one was the residence of the King of Jin, the third one was the residence of the King of Yan, and the fourth one was the residence of the King of Wu. Now the three elder brothers have all gotten married and moved to the palace outside the palace. Only King Wu still lives in the fourth palace.

Normally, King Wu should move to the first place, but since he was only staying temporarily for two or three years, he was too lazy to move the pile of bottles and cans. In order to be closer to his fifth brother, Zhu Zhen chose five houses to live in.

Enter Qianying Gate, walk along the long winding road to the east end, and enter the gate with the sign "Dongwusuo" hanging on it. You will find a rectangular courtyard with three entrances.

Upon entering, there is the front hall where he will receive guests in the future. The front hall, the reverse seat room, and the east and west side halls form a front yard, and are connected by verandas.

Across the front yard are three main halls for him to sleep and study. There are also east and west side halls on the left and right, and there are also verandas connecting them.

The backyard is much simpler, just a row of ordinary rooms, used as kitchens and night maids.

The whole place is not too big, smaller than Wan'an Palace, but for a little bachelor like Lao Liu, it is too spacious.

The most important thing is that this is a small world where he has the final say. He arranges it how he wants, what time he wants to go to bed...if there is no class the next day.

So His Highness the King of Chu ordered people to clear out the east and west side halls on the left and right sides of the main hall and transform them into cattle pens and panda houses for the Great Sage Pingtian and Taiji to live.

This made the eunuchs of Dongwu Institute feel speechless. There was almost no one left, okay? Next door, the King of Wu converted the East Fourth Institute into a pharmacy, and here the King of Chu set up a zoo... What evil did Emperor Hongwu do to give birth to these weirdos?

However, this did not affect the good mood of His Highness the Sixth Prince, because in addition to Mu Xiang, the female officer in charge of the office, Wang Defa also followed him to the East Fifth Institution without worry.

Although he was the deputy director of the official supervision and the general manager of Wan'an Palace, it was a great humiliation to come to Dongwu Institute to be a steward. But the main character of our Wangma is that she is loyal, following her little master like an old yellow dog, no matter where he goes.

With Wang Ma taking care of everything, His Highness Prince Chu's life in Dongwusuo was naturally very smooth.

He still went to the main hall to study on odd days and bullied Lao Qi; he went out of the palace to attend classes at Uncle Chengyi's house on double days and teased Liu Li.

Then I would go back to the palace to have dinner with my mother and concubine in the evening. I would go to Kunning Palace every now and then to have a meal with my mother and concubine. Then I would go home and happily feed cows and pandas. It was really a carefree and joyful time...

~~

Time is like water, and it’s midsummer in a blink of an eye.

The city of Nanjing has turned into a steamer, with the sweltering heat and sweltering heat leaving no place to hide.

Uncle Chengyi's Mansion, where masters and apprentices hold classes, has also been moved to the courtyard.

Amid the chirping of cicadas, under the thick shade, a large bamboo mat was spread, and the master and apprentice sat on the ground.

For a rich young man like Zhu Zhen, summer is particularly difficult. Even if he is shaking his cattail leaf fan and eating iced watermelon, he is still sweating.

Looking at Liu Bowen again, he was still wearing a tight Taoist robe, not even a trace of sweat on his body, sitting cross-legged on the futon, the breeze gently ruffling his long gray beard, looking like a master.

If there wasn't that dark history...

"Master, you have heavy dark circles under your eyes and you are not energetic?" Zhu Zhen saw that he was slow to react and couldn't speak fluently, so he couldn't help but asked: "At this age, you don't want to play songs every night."

"Fart, am I that kind of person? I've been watching the stars all day and night, do you understand how tired I am?" Old Liu felt more energetic now.

"Oh." Zhu Zhen nodded and said, "Is the big telescope so fun? You haven't gotten tired of playing with it for so long?"

"The stars in the sky are so intoxicating." Liu Bowen sighed: "I only hate that the days are too long and the nights are too short."

"Then you are really a match for my father," Zhu Zhen couldn't help but laugh: "These days, after having dinner every day, he retreats to the left and right, sits in the banquet, and observes the sky. I heard that he often stays up all night. .”

However, Boss Zhu was much more energetic than Old Liu. He could stay up all night without delaying his court appearance, and he could even stay up late for food and clothing and issue memorials. Therefore, one cannot generalize about this person and his physical strength.

"It's normal. This year's astrology has changed and is not in line with the norm." Liu Bowen said without surprise: "The five stars are out of balance and the sun and the moon are in a square, which is really a bad omen."

"What, what's a bad omen? What's the cup size?" Zhu Zhen looked confused.

"That is to say, compared with normal times, the positions of the five stars in the sky, Chenxing, Taibai, Yinghuo, Suixing, and Zhenxing, have changed, and there has been a conflict between the sun and the moon." The first point of our knowledge is to ' The heaven knows astronomy, so Liu Bowen explained it very carefully.

"In February, the Sui star goes retrograde and enters Taiweiyuan; in March, Yinghuo invades Jingsu; in April, Yinghuo invades Guisu; in May, Taibai invades Bisu and Jingsu..."

After a pause, he continued: "Since the sixth month of Wuzi, there has been a guest star staying in the Wei Su. It is as big as a pellet and white in color. After staying for a few days, the star became brighter, entered Ziweiyuan, and swept to Wenchang. Very soon Quickly enter Zhangsu and it will last forever."

"..." Zhu Zhen was dumbfounded. What was this all about? It wasn't until the end that he understood it a little bit, and said with a sudden look on his face: "Oh, comet."

"Yes." Liu Bowen nodded with a serious face and said: "If the Sui star enters Taiwei, some of the princes should be punished. If the Bixing star enters Ziwei and passes through Wenchang, the emperor should make mistakes in the direction of the court, and the emperor will lose his virtue..."

"Fuck..." Zhu Zhen was speechless for a long time, and then asked slowly: "Master, do you believe what you said?"

"I was convinced at first, but since...well, that's all it's been like." Liu Bowen rolled his eyes at the evildoer resentfully.

He could never forgive the kid.

One is pffff; the other is that this naughty kid gave him a telescope and encouraged him to see the moon and stars.

From the day he looked up at the moon in the mirror, astronomy and astrology ceased to exist...

"But the emperor still believes it deeply, the Qin Tianjian still believes it deeply, and so many Confucian scholars still believe it deeply." Then Liu Bowen said solemnly: "So the star change is still a great event."

"Understood." Zhu Zhen nodded and said: "Although natural changes are natural phenomena, people can interpret self-righteous omens and then take so-called actions that are 'in line with heaven'... So the teacher thinks that something big will happen next?" "
