Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 324 Star Change
Three days later, His Royal Highness the King of Chu moved to the East Fifth Institute.

To be precise, it is Gandong No. [-] Institute.It is located in the northeast corner of the Inner Court, on the East Neiting Road and north of Qianying Gate.It is far away from the Qianxi Wusuo in the northwest corner of the inner court across the imperial garden.

Although the East and West Five Houses are still in the inner court, they are already separated from the East and West Sixth Palaces by palace gates. It is a place for princes and grandchildren who have reached the age of 12 to live before their wedding.

Because it is the residence of the prince, it cannot be called a palace, so it can only be called "suo".The East Fifth Institute, as the name suggests, is five independent courtyards separated by a wall. From west to east, they are the first institute, the second institute, the third institute, the fourth institute, and the fifth institute.

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

Ordinarily, King Wu should move to the head office, but because he only lived there temporarily for two or three years, he didn't bother to move the pile of bottles and cans.In order to be closer to Brother Wu, Zhu Zhen chose five houses to live in.

Enter the Qianying Gate, walk along the long narrow road to the east end, and enter the gate with the sign of "Dong Wusuo" hanging, which is a rectangular courtyard with three entrances.

The first entrance is the front hall for him to receive guests in the future. The front hall, the inverted room, and the east and west side halls form a front yard, which is 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 corridors connecting them.

The backyard is much simpler, just a row of ordinary rooms, which are used as the kitchen and the night-time housekeeper.

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

Most importantly, this is a small world where he has the final say.He wants to arrange how to arrange it, what time he wants to sleep...if there is no class the next day.

So His Royal Highness King Chu ordered people to empty out the East and West side halls around the main hall and transform them into cow pens and panda houses for Pingtian Dasheng and Taiji to live in.

This made the eunuchs of the East Fifth Institute feel very speechless, there is almost no one left, okay?The king of Wu next door turned the East Fourth Institute into a pharmacy, and the king of Chu here has the whole zoo... What evil did Emperor Hongwu do to produce these strange things?
However, this did not affect the good mood of His Highness the Sixth Highness, because apart from Mu Xiang, the female officer of the management office, Wang Defa was not at ease and came to the East Fifth Institute.

Although he is the dignified Deputy Director of Internal Officials and Supervision and the Director of Wan'an Palace, it is a great condescension to come to the East Fifth Institute as a steward.But what our mother Wang is focusing on is a loyal, old yellow dog who follows the little master closely, no matter where he goes.

With Mama Wang taking care of everything, His Royal Highness King Chu's life in the East Fifth Institute naturally went very smoothly.

He still went to study in Daben Hall on one day, and bullied Lao Qi by the way; on two days, he went out of the palace to attend classes at Uncle Chengyi's residence, and teased Liu Li by the way.

Then I go back to the palace to eat with my mother and concubine at night, and I will have dinner with my mother at Kunning Palace every now and then, and then I go home and happily feed the cows and pandas. I really feel carefree and happy...

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

The city of Nanjing has become a steamer, and the sweltering heat makes people have nowhere to hide.

The Chengyi Mansion, the place where the masters and apprentices attend classes, has also been moved to the courtyard.

Amidst the chirping of cicadas, under the thick shade, a wide bamboo mat is spread, and the master and apprentice sit on the ground.

For a rich young man like Zhu Zhen, summer is particularly difficult. Even if he shakes his cattail fan and eats iced watermelon, he still sweats profusely.

Look at Liu Bowen again, still wearing a tight Taoist robe, without a trace of sweat, sitting cross-legged on the futon, with the breeze blowing his long white beard, looking like a gentleman.

If there is no such dark history...

"Master, you have dark circles under your eyes, are you still listless?" Zhu Zhen saw that he was slow to respond and couldn't speak clearly, so he couldn't help but asked, "You don't want to sing every night at this age."

"Fart, is this old man that kind of person? I've been watching the stars day and night, so I'm tired enough to understand?" Old Liu was now full of energy.

"Oh." Zhu Zhen nodded and said, "Is the big telescope so fun? Haven't you gotten tired of it after so long?"

"The starry sky is so intoxicating." Liu Bowen sighed and said, "I only hate that the days are too long and the nights are too short."

"Then you really compete with my father." Zhu Zhen couldn't help laughing: "He has been eating dinner every day, sitting back and forth in the open, playing with the sky, and I heard that he often stays up all night. .”

However, Boss Zhu's mentality is much stronger than that of Lao Liu. He can stay up all night without delaying the court, and he can also write memorials for night clothes and food.Therefore, this person and his physical strength cannot be generalized.

"Normal, this year's astrology has changed, which is not in line with the norm." Liu Bowen said without any surprise: "The turbulence of the five stars, and the square of the sun and the moon are really bad omens."

"What, what's the big omen? How much cup size?" Zhu Zhen was confused.

"That is to say, compared with usual, the positions of the five stars Chen Xing, Taibai, Yinghuo, Sui Xing, and Zhen Xing in the sky have changed, and there has been a collision between the sun and the moon." Knowing about astronomy', so Liu Bowen explained it very carefully.

"In February, the year 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 Wuzi in June, there has been a guest star staying in the stomach, the size of a pellet, and the color is white; after staying for a few days, the star became brighter, entered Ziweiyuan, and swept to Wenchang. Quickly enter Zhangsu, it will last forever."

"..." Zhu Zhen was dumbfounded, it was all about what.It wasn't until the end that he understood a little bit, and suddenly said, "Oh, comet."

"Yes." Liu Bowen nodded with a serious expression: "Sui Xing enters Taiwei, and there should be people who are punished by the princes. Bo Xing enters Ziwei and passes through Wenchang. It should be because the court is wrong, and the emperor loses virtue..."

"Damn..." Zhu Zhen was tongue-tied for a while, and asked slowly, "Master, do you believe what you said?"

"At first, I believed it deeply, but since... well, that's the way it is." Liu Bowen cast a resentful glance at the villain.

He could never forgive the boy.

One is puff puff; the other is that the brat gave him a telescope and encouraged him to look at the moon and the stars.

From the day he looked up at the moon sky in the mirror, astronomy and astrology did not exist...

"But the emperor still believes in it, the Qin Tianjian still believes in it, and so many Confucian scholars still believe in it." Then Liu Bowen said in a deep voice, "So the change of stars is still a great event."

"Understood." Zhu Zhen nodded and said, "Changes in the sky are certainly natural phenomena, but they can make people interpret self-righteous omens, and then take actions that are so-called 'in line with the way of heaven'... So the teacher thinks that something big will happen next? "
