Chapter 108 A Sign of Great Disaster
Wen Xingyun looked at Gong Hao and said, "I heard that the stars are unusual recently."
Gong Hao knelt down immediately upon hearing this: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I observed the stars today and indeed found nothing unusual."
When he said this, he seemed to recall what Si Chen, a Wuguan who had just entered the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, said yesterday, that the positions of the seven stars had changed slightly.
But he didn't take it seriously. He just thought that this Wuguan Sichen just wanted to show off and didn't take it seriously.
Is it true that there are strange changes in the stars as he said?
But in just a few moments, his mind had turned countless corners.
Wen Xingyun narrowed his eyes and looked at the kneeling Gong Hao: "I'll give you one day to find out. If you still don't have accurate information by the end of tomorrow's morning court, you can't hold the position of Supervisor."
Gong Hao kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I will definitely check it out." After that, he hurried back to the Imperial Observatory.
Ling Yuanxiu sat upright on the high platform with a compass in front of him. He had clearly felt that the positions of the seven stars had changed yesterday, so why didn't the Supervisor believe it?
Gong Hao returned to the Imperial Astronomical Observatory and searched around before finally finding the person at the observatory. "Wuguan Sichen, you made it so hard for me to find you."
When Ling Yuanxiu saw that it was Gong Hao, he quickly stood up and saluted him: "Your humble servant greets the Supervisor."
Gong Hao and the others waved their hands hurriedly: "Let's skip these formalities. Let me ask you, did you really see the seven stars shift last night?"
Ling Yuanxiu didn't know why he suddenly asked this, but he nodded honestly: "I did see the seven stars shift, but the movement yesterday was not large, so it was difficult to distinguish."
Gong Hao got the key point: "You mean, the seven stars will shift again tonight."
Ling Yuanxiu couldn't guarantee it and quickly shook his head: "Master Supervisor, I dare not say anything about this. We can only know after observing the stars at night."
Gong Hao almost broke a taboo and nodded quickly: "You are right, I will watch the stars with you tonight."
Ling Yuanxiu didn't comment and nodded in agreement.
Gong Hao waited anxiously until night fell.
Ling Yuanxiu looked up at the starry sky, and star maps appeared in his mind, each of which corresponded to certain things.
For example, the Ziwei Star represents the emperor. The brighter the starlight, the better the emperor's fortune.
Of course, when emperors change, there will be two Purple Stars in the sky, but one gradually becomes dimmer and the other gradually becomes brighter.
But they can only watch these and cannot speak.
Gong Hao also had a compass in front of him. He stared at the starry sky without blinking. After making sure that there were no problems with the other star positions, his eyes never left the Seven Stars.
He began to calculate numbers on paper while using the compass to deduce.
The same thing happened to Ling Yuanxiu. After two sticks of incense, both of them looked at the paper on the table in shock.
Gong Hao looked at the seven stars on the paper, which were moving in a straight line: "Seven Stars in a Line."
Ling Yuanxiu also had a result: "It turned out to be a seven-star conjunction."
Gong Hao's hand holding the brush fell on the table. Since ancient times, five stars in a row have been considered a good omen, while seven stars in a row must be a very bad omen!
Ling Yuanxiu also knew this truth. The two of them were now panicked and quickly began to deduce the surrounding star map, trying to find out where the disaster occurred.
However, the two of them calculated all night, and when daybreak came, there was still no clue.
Gong Hao saw that the morning court was almost over and looked at Ling Yuanxiu, who was now in a cyan state. He said, "Go back and rest. Don't tell anyone about what happened tonight."
Ling Yuanxiu nodded: "Master Jianzheng, are you going to report to His Majesty?"
Gong Hao: "Now that I've seen it, there's no reason not to report it."
He looked at Ling Yuanxiu and said, "Work hard in the Imperial Observatory in the future. Whether the Imperial Observatory can gain the emperor's favor depends on you."
After saying this, he felt determined to die, washed up, and went to the imperial study.
Wen Xingyun saw him come in and asked without waiting for him to bow, "Any results?"
Gong Hao slumped to his knees and said, "Your Majesty, the stars are changing. I'm afraid there will be a conjunction of seven stars, a very ominous sign!"
After he said that, he didn't dare look up at Wen Xingyun's expression. If it weren't for Wen Xingyun's reminder yesterday, he would have made another big mistake.
Wen Xingyun didn't get angry, but simply said, "A bad omen? That's interesting!"
