Chapter 129: In My Eyes, They Are All the Same
"Your Majesty, I am preparing to stay overnight to observe the changes in the celestial phenomena."
That is to say, he was planning to stay up all night to fulfill his duties conscientiously, which was also a disguised way of avoiding the emperor's inquiries. The implication was that he didn't know if there were any changes yet and he was keeping an eye on them.
Emperor Longqing sat all the way here. His fevered head was blown by the cool breeze outside, and the murderous aura in his heart faded. When he arrived at the observatory, the emperor's composure returned.
"Stand up."
Wang Yu and Li Shaoqing both stood up, bowed and stepped aside, waiting for the emperor to get out of the sedan chair.
Emperor Longqing reached the white jade steps and turned to look at Wang Yu: "Lord Wang, do you have any knowledge of dream interpretation?"
Wang Yu was startled, but his face remained calm. He lowered his head even more and stepped forward to reply, "I have only a basic understanding."
Emperor Longqing said nothing and stepped onto the stairs.
The chief steward Wei Xi held a whisk in his hand and served the emperor, followed by Wang Yu and Li Shaoqing. The other imperial guards were divided into two rows on the left and right, standing under the observatory.
Five years later, Emperor Longqing climbed up the observatory again, his eyes dim and unclear.
As soon as Wei Xi arrived, he stood in the corner. Wang Yu and Li Shaoqing stood behind the emperor, one in front and one behind, ready to take orders at any time.
Emperor Longqing gazed at the starry sky. On his way here, he saw the night sky shrouded in clouds and mist, the moonlight was hazy, and the stars were shining brightly. After looking at it for a long time, the boredom in his heart faded away, and he thought that it would be a nice view when he climbed up and looked into the distance.
I never expected that after I climbed up to the observatory, the clouds dissipated and the moonlight became bright, which in turn made many stars dim.
It's beautiful, but...
Emperor Longqing turned around and asked, "I want to ask you, is there any way to resolve the phenomenon of Mars in the heart?"
Wang Yu lifted his robe and knelt down to answer, and Li Shaoqing also knelt down and bowed his head.
"Your Majesty, this is a sign from heaven, and it is beyond human control. I am incapable of doing this." After saying this, he bowed his head to the ground and apologized.
"I don't want to know why there is no solution. I just want to know your method." Emperor Longqing said in a deep voice.
Wang Yu stood up and knelt on the ground, thinking for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, please go to the Taimiao and pray to the heavens as the Son of Heaven!"
Emperor Longqing narrowed his eyes at him and sneered, "I'm asking the truth."
Wang Yu's Adam's apple rolled as he swallowed. "Your Majesty, according to the astronomical records of previous dynasties, whenever there are signs of war, within three to five years, something corresponding to the signs will occur. I dare not speak nonsense in front of Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Longqing's face darkened and his gaze passed over Wang Yu and fell on the head of Li Shaoqing who was standing behind him.
"Li Shaoqing, go ahead."
Li Shaoqing bowed his head and kowtowed, glancing at Wang Yu, the Supervisor beside him. After a moment's silence, he respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, changes in celestial phenomena are all related to the destiny of heaven and earth, and the destiny of the country. Daliang has experienced abnormal weather this year, and occasional disasters have occurred in various parts of the north and south. Only when the destiny of the earth changes will the heavens show signs. This matter is absolutely beyond human control."
Emperor Longqing was not happy to hear these words, and Wang Yu, who was lying on the ground, was worried about his students.
"According to you, what do you think?"
Li Shaoqing said, "I agree with what the Lord Supervisor said. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, blessed by Heaven. He offers sacrifices to Heaven and Earth and prays for the blessings of the people. Heaven must have some inspiration."
When Wang Yu heard this, he felt a little relieved.
Good boy, don't be stingy when flattering the emperor at the critical moment, saving your life is important.
Emperor Longqing looked at him, knowing in his heart that what this little official from the Imperial Observatory said was nothing but useless flattery, but he did not feel annoyed and did not make things difficult for him.
"You guys stand up and answer."
They both stood up.
Emperor Longqing walked to the railing and looked around at his Daliang kingdom and the lights of thousands of homes. A few lights were scattered in the darkness, flickering in the vast night.
"Wang Yu, I just had a dream."
Wang Yu glanced at Li Shaoqing, took a few steps forward and came to the side of the emperor.
"I wonder what the Emperor dreamed?"
Emperor Longqing looked in the direction of a corner tower of the Daliang Palace and found that from the position of the observatory, looking at everything under his feet was as if he was hanging in the sky overlooking the mountains and rivers, which made it easy to open his mind.
"I dreamed that I was in the sky, holding a sword and slashing the Azure Dragon." After saying this, he turned his head to look at Wang Yu, his eyes as sharp as a torch. "How do you interpret this dream?"
When Wang Yu heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
After not hearing Wang Yu's voice for a while, Emperor Longqing sneered, turned around, and said with a smile: "Why, you dare not interpret my dream?"
"I am stupid."
"Just tell me what you want, I will forgive you."
Wang Yu thought seriously and said, "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, did the Azure Dragon in my dream harm Your Majesty in any way?"
Emperor Longqing narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I am the Son of Heaven. How can I allow a beast to hurt me?"
"Your Majesty, dreams are the product of your state of mind. As the saying goes, you dream at night what you think about during the day. Your Majesty is busy with many affairs during the day, so naturally there are many troubles that bother your mind. The Azure Dragon that appeared in your dream probably represents something that has been on your mind for a while now, and you have been pondering it day and night. Since Your Majesty killed the Azure Dragon with a sword in your dream, it should be that soon, your worries will be resolved. I, your humble servant, congratulate Your Majesty!"
As Emperor Longqing listened, he became very pleased.
"Lord Wang is indeed very knowledgeable."
Wang Yu lowered his head even deeper, feeling anxious.
It was a cold and windy night on the observatory. Emperor Longqing stayed there for a whole hour, watching Wang Yu and Li Shaoqing copy down the key astronomical points with his own eyes.
Occasionally, when he was in the mood, he would ask Wang Yu to interpret in detail the meaning of each astrological sign, which made him feel a chill down his spine.
After the master and disciple trembled in fear and waited on the emperor in the observatory for a long time, Emperor Longqing finally returned to the palace out of mercy.
As soon as the emperor left, the two men fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
Wang Yu's face turned pale and he looked at Li Shaoqing without saying a word.
Li Shaoqing's expression was extremely grim. After a long while, he finally mustered up the courage to say, "Sir, the Emperor is lying."
"I will find a way to get you out of the palace as soon as possible."
"Thank you, sir."
This night will surely be a sleepless night for many people.
Jingwei Mansion, Gaojia Village.
After Tu Huan and Huaihua dripped the second bottle of blue medicine into both eyes, they began to formally perform "systemic surgery" on them.
This time, she asked Xie Yuchuan to ask everyone else to leave the house.
Just like when he treated Xu Su in the Songjiang government office, the gods did not like to be disturbed when they "appeared".
In fact, Tu Huan was worried that there might be accidents when extracting and stripping the supernatural powers.
This was her first time doing this and she was unsure.
Xie Yuchuan and Xiong Jiushan both had experience in this, and the others did not dare to object. Since the adults had all gone out, they naturally did not dare to stay.
Soon, Huaihua was the only one left in the room.
There is also the household god "Tu Huan" who no one sees.
At this point, the system has completely understood one thing: its host has made up his mind about what to do and will not be easily tempted by other conditions.
For the host Tu Huan, getting rich is very important, but sometimes, her thriving curiosity motivates her more than getting rich.
Isn't it a waste to spend such huge energy and points on a worthless village woman who is about to die and squander resources?
The system is totally incomprehensible.
But the host insisted on his own way.
After Tu Huan combined the "Surgery" function, she clicked the [Start] button.
She looked at the progress of the operation on the interface and said calmly, "Who says the life of an ordinary village woman is worthless? How can anyone's life be more noble than hers?"
"In my eyes, they're all the same."
