At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 410 General Star?Guest star?
There is a temple in Luoyang City called Shangqing Palace, and there is a high platform in the temple called Star Observation Platform.The autumn wind is bleak, the night is as cool as water, and the sky is full of stars. At this time, on the observatory platform of Shangqing Palace, there are two Taoist priests lying on their backs in the shape of "Tai", staring straight at the stars in the sky. , This posture, this look, really doesn't look like a serious Taoist priest.

After a long time, one of the Taoist priests suddenly sat up. He was about 40 years old. Huo Huo, Li Li Chao Huo... Di Xing flutters Ying Huo Gao, Shuang Xuan Tian Ke Ye carries a knife, it's weird."

At this time, another Taoist priest also sat up. He looked about [-] years old, with Chinese characters, thick eyebrows and big eyes, long beard fluttering, and a fairy-like appearance. He murmured: "Yinghuo guards his heart, Ziwei commits robbery, and two stars seize defense, it's strange!"

The two Taoist priests looked at each other and said in unison: "Look again!" After speaking, they lay down on their backs and continued to watch the stars at night in the shape of "tai".

After a long time, the two Taoist priests sat up at the same time, and the one whose forehead was as tall and broad as a birthday star asked, "Daoist Li, can you see clearly this time?"

"What about you, Daoist Yuan?" the handsome Taoist asked back.

Daoist Yuan shook his head and said: "In terms of the art of stargazing, Daoist Poverty is far inferior to Daoist Li, so I don't want to make a fool of myself. Daoist Poverty just listens attentively."

Li Daochang stroked his beard and said: "Yuan Daochang is too modest. If this is the case, then the poor Taoist throws bricks to attract jade, and then cites what Yuan Daochang saw."

"Please enlighten me, Daoist Li," Yuan Daochang said.

Li Daochang said in a deep voice: "Ziwei Dixing is weak, and it has not changed much from a few months ago. Yinghuo (Mars) entered the South Dou a few months ago, and now it is in Taiwei. Yinghuo will not let go. It can be seen that although the chaos in Yang Xuangan is peaceful, But the calamity of the Emperor Star has not been eliminated, and now the Emperor Star has the tendency to move north, presumably that person will go north in the near future, and meet the calamity somewhere in the north."

Daoist Yuan nodded and said: "As Daoist Li said, now the emperor's star is swaying, Tianke is invading the palace, and the danger is abnormal. The Great Sui's momentum is unsustainable. There is no doubt that Guozuo will be destroyed, but..."

At this time, if an outsider heard the rebellious talk of these two Taoist priests here, they might be scared to pee, but the two Taoist priests were calm, as if they were chatting about family affairs.

As the saying goes, the son of heaven, the son of heaven, no matter how high the imperial power is, it cannot be as high as the sky. The astrology is the omen of the heaven. The imperial power commands the world, but it cannot command the sky. Therefore, the astrology is a omen. If there is one, say one, without any scruples!

At this time, Daoist Li asked: "Just what? Brother Yuan saw some abnormal changes?"

Yuan Daochang nodded, frowned and said: "Two years ago, there was only one guest star near Ziwei Emperor Star, but now there is one more guest star, which is really puzzling."

Li Daochang shook his head and said: "That guest star existed two years ago, but it's not as bright and conspicuous as it is now, and it has the potential to come from behind."

Daoist Yuan said lightly: "It turns out that the poor Taoist was negligent!"

Li Daochang said with a strange expression: "And this new guest star is quite weird, it is bright and dark, sometimes on the left of the Emperor Star, sometimes on the right of the Emperor Star, erratic, and its brilliance is restrained, it seems that it has no intention of offending the master."

Daoist Yuan frowned and said, "If the guest doesn't offend the master, could it be that he is guarding the star of the Emperor Star? If that's the case, Da Sui's luck has not yet come to an end."

Li Daochang showed confusion and said: "Poverty Dao still can't see clearly now, let's wait and see what happens, another guest star is clear, and its brilliance is shining outwards. It wants to compete with the emperor star, and there is a hidden hostility."

Daoist Yuan's heart moved, and he asked, "Do you know who should be on it?"

Li Daochang shook his head and said: "The secrets are unpredictable and cannot be peeped at, but it will be two or three years later, or one or two years soon, and we will see the difference. With Daoist Yuan's face-to-face skills, if there is a chance, you may meet the real dragon in advance. "

Daoist Yuan stood up, yawned, and said with a smile, "It's night, let's go to bed." After speaking, he walked down from the observatory.

"Old fox, you still have a hand with Pindao. Fortunately, Pindao is not stupid, so he didn't tell the whole story!" Li Daochang snorted secretly, looked up at the stars all over the sky, and thought: "Is Mrs. Li the emperor? Pindao doesn't think so, right? Guest star? General star? What on earth do you want to do? Show your true body quickly!"

…………

With a bang, the prison door of the Ministry of Criminal Justice opened, and Gao Shilian sat up with difficulty. It's been a night, but Gao Shilian still feels very full in his stomach.

"Gao Shilian!" A solemn voice came in through the iron fence.

Gao Shilian took a look, and saw an official of the Ministry of Punishment standing outside in official robes. It was Shi Jingxuan, the head of the Ministry of Punishment.

Gao Shilian stood up a little apprehensively. Could it be that he was about to be executed again?
"Criminal Gao Qian is here." Gao Shilian stood up and said.

Master Shi nodded, took out a document and read it aloud: "... After investigation, although Gao Qian, the former governor of the Ministry of Rites, had a history with the rebel Hu Sizheng, but there was no fact of conspiracy to rebel, so the beheading sentence was exempted. He was relegated to the post of Li Lang in the Ministry of Rites and relegated to Zhuyuan County, Jiaozhi County. He must leave for the post within one month, and there must be no mistakes."

Gao Shilian was stunned for a moment, and then trembled slightly with excitement. Although he was demoted to Jiaozhi County as the boss, he finally saved his life.

Master Shi waved his hand, ordered the jailer to open the cell door, handed the document to Gao Shilian, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Gao Master Bo for his new life, you can be released from prison, go back to the Ministry of Officials to sign and receive the appointment document You can take office."

"Thank you, Mr. Shi." Gao Shilian said and turned to look at Gao Bufan.

Gao Bufan frowned and said: "Master Shi, Vietnam... Cochin is too far away, can you change to a closer place? After all, Uncle Shilian is not young anymore."

Shi Jingxuan took a deep breath like a toothache, my lord, do you think the imperial court was run by my family?What official do you want?With a smile on his face, he said: "General Gao Lang, this is the verdict of the Ministry of Punishment. The emperor personally approved it. There is nothing I can do."

Gao Shilian hastily said: "The lower officials obey the judgment, sir, Uncle Shi, I'm actually under forty, so I'm not considered old."

Gao Bufan also knew that since Yang Guang personally approved it, he might not be able to change it. Vietnam is at least a few thousand kilometers away from Luoyang. Poisonous insects and ferocious beasts are running rampant, miasma and swamps are everywhere, maybe Barbie Q will happen at any time, but there is no way, the situation is stronger than people now, so I can only bow my head, after all, it is better than beheading and going to jail.

"General Gao Lang, you can go too." Shi Jingxuan coughed lightly.

Gao Bufan asked suspiciously: "Can I go? No other punishment?"

Shi Jingxuan couldn't help being speechless, do you want other punishments?Fang forced out a smile and said, "No!"

"Oh, that book is leaving, Uncle Shilian, let's go!" Gao Bufan lifted his legs and left, Gao Shilian hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, our bedding and clothes haven't been packed yet."

"Stop it, how unlucky!" Gao Bufan couldn't help but said, pulling Gao Shilian up his legs and leaving the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

The weather outside the prison was just right, the autumn sun was shining, the sky was high and the clouds were clear, and the autumn air was crisp and clear. Gao Shilian took a deep breath of the fresh air and felt as if he had passed away. But soon he felt sorry for those blankets and clothes. The two quilts were delivered by Wugou a few days ago, they are still very new.

"Changqing, let's go in and tidy up. It's too wasteful. I just took it to Cochin." Gao Shilian said.

Gao Bufan sweated secretly: "Cochin is so far away, it's so troublesome, you can buy a new one when you get there, don't worry, with me here, you don't have to worry about Wugou and mother-in-law having no money to spend, and Shishu's house doesn't need to be sold Leave it, save it for my aunt to take care of, by the way, I have already prepared a house for Wugou and the others."

Gao Shilian smiled wryly and shook his head, anyway, he was already engaged, and he didn't see Gao Bufan at odds, it would be this kid's job to take care of Wugou from now on.

"Go, let's go home, Wugou and the others must be very happy to see Uncle Shi." Gao Bufan said.

Gao Shilian was also happy when he heard the words, nodded and said: "Yes, go home."

The two of them took big strides and headed towards Yongxingfang. As soon as they reached the door, Gao Fu, the concierge, saw it. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief to make sure he saw the right person. Then he turned around and went into the house. Run, shouting loudly while running: "Master and uncle are back, master and uncle are back!"

The whole house erupted immediately, Xianyu and Gao ran out excitedly, the eldest grandson Wugou ran down from the attic and almost fell, but fortunately he caught the guardrail in time, but still sprained his ankle, just because of the excitement I didn't feel much pain when I fell down, and continued to run towards the gate.

"Uncle, Changqing, you are back!" Changsun Wuji hurried forward to meet him, and said pleasantly.

Gao Shilian nodded and smiled slightly, looking at his sister Gao Shi and his wife Xian Yushi who were rushing excitedly, his eyes couldn't help moistening for a moment, happiness is nothing more than having a home to return to, where someone who loves you is waiting.

At this time, Changsun Wugou also walked with the support of the maidservant, but her movements seemed a little unnatural, and her black eyebrows seemed to be frowning, but when she saw Gao Bufan, she immediately smiled, her excitement was palpable.

Gao Bufan hurried forward and asked with concern: "Wugou, what's wrong?"

"The girl sprained her ankle when she went down to the attic." Shi Shu said bluntly.

"I'm fine, I sprained slightly." Changsun Wugou said hastily.

Gao Bufan knelt down and looked at it, frowned and said, "It's all swollen."

The eldest grandson Wugou couldn't help but blush, even though their identities had been determined, Gao Bufan was still very shy when he took off his shoes and looked at his ankles in public.

Gao Shi and Xian Yu Shi were also a little embarrassed, but they couldn't help being very pleased to see this young couple being so dear.

Changsun Wuji coughed lightly and said, "Changqing, let's go in first."

"That's right!" Gao Bufan bent down and grabbed Changsun Wugou's legs, hugged him up and walked into the house, his sister Changsun almost hid her face in her chest in embarrassment.
