AD 1042

Chapter 180 Apocalypse

Tokyo Bianliang, countdown to the earthquake.

Dou time (5 a.m.)

Wu Jingluan, dressed in a green robe, left home early and came to the ancient viewing platform of Si Tianjian. Pick up the steps and go to the highest point.

The cool breeze is blowing, and the purple star is still hanging high in the night sky in the north, and it has not disappeared. The imperial star is still bright, and the Big Dipper array is as usual, surrounding the imperial star, guarding the family of a generation of emperors.

Seeing the light in the east, the stars have long disappeared. At this time, the sky and the earth are extremely cold. Wu Jingluan, with a clear appearance, crossed his arms in front of his chest and protected his heart. After several times of vomiting, his eyes were clear in front of him. After his brain became flexible, he raised his eyes and looked at the night sky.

In the moonlight, the huge Hun Tianyi slowly rotated, breathing and sleeping with the ancient empire. The sky suddenly dawned, and the soft light spread to the earth, bringing warmth to the streets and alleys of Bianliang City.

The golden light shines through the cracks in the bronze wheel on the Hun Tianyi, reflected on the ground of the ancient viewing platform, and also sprinkled on Wu Jingluan's face. The bronze roulette is engraved with the symbols of ancient totem and sages and sages. When the first ray of sunlight shines on it, these symbols light up, but it was just a blink of an eye, and it returned to its usual state after a while.

Wu Jingluan likes to come to the Tianxiangtai every morning to wake up with Hun Tianyi and welcome the morning sun together. He thought it was wonderful and incredible, as if it was destined for his life.

The Tianxiangtai is located in the center of the eight trigrams of the nine palaces. With the changes of the sun, different hexagrams will evolve. Of course, ordinary people can't understand it, because they don't have the inexplicable deduction. Yixue is too subtle for ordinary people to do it.

However, there is another thing that made Wu Jingluan excited recently, because Lord Su, the secretary of the General Equipment Department, presented a treasure to the court. On that day, he also saw this treasure in the imperial garden of Da Nei. According to Lord Su, the name of this object: astronomical telescope, with it can not only watch the astrology more carefully, but also see the moon. Scenes in the palace.

Regardless of whether the telescope was really so mysterious or not, at least it was not an idle thing. At that time, the waiter measured it with a rope ruler and found that the telescope was seven feet long and seven feet wide. At that time, it used 100 internal forbidden troops to transport this thing to the inner court.

Then it took another seven days and seven nights to install this thing. Finally, Lord Su sent a strange umbrella and a large wooden box of 300 catties. At that time, Wu Jingluan also asked the waiter what it was. The waiter told him that it was a solar generator made by Lord Su's General Equipment Department.

'Solar-generator', what an embarrassing name, but maybe the more magical it is, the more unmanageable it is. The day before yesterday, when Wu Jingluan was ordered to go to court, he also saw His Majesty Renzong's great joy. Lord Su's astronomical telescope was simply a divine thing. He not only saw the moon palace, but also saw the flying stone outside the sky, and said Empress Cao in the harem also saw it.

This astronomical telescope is really interesting. If possible, I would like to send a few more to the palace under the General Equipment Department.

At that time, taking this opportunity, Wu Jingluan said, "With this magical thing, it is really the blessing of my dynasty. If I can put one on the Sitianjian Tianxiang platform to watch the sky at night and record the revelation of the sky, it will be like a tiger adding wings. Your Majesty's blessing, my dynasty's blessing!"

As soon as Renzong was happy, he was allowed to do this at that time. For this reason, Wu Jingluan forgot to dedicate the book he wrote by staying up late: "Identifiing the Mausoleum Table of Niutou Mountain".

Maybe, this is fate. Wu Jingluan, who should have been in prison and had a cold meal at that moment, could have escaped the disaster.

Wu Jingluan has been bathing and changing clothes for seven consecutive days. He is happily waiting for the arrival of Lord Su's astronomical telescope, because today is the delivery period set by Lord Su.

As long as the hour passed, but when the sun rose, the purple star suddenly trembled three times. This was what he saw with his own eyes. After the three tremors, the sun came, and the purple star hid into the universe.

"What is this sign?"

Wu Jingluan quickly took out a pair of tortoise shell gossip pictures from the sleeve cage. According to the time at that time, his heart suddenly jumped up and took a few steps to think deeply in the observatory in the nine palace gossips in the Sitian prison.

After a while, if he realized something, he raised his legs and flew to a tall temple.

The famous wooden holy temple in the temple is an important place in Si Tianjian, with a geometer and a few large copper water tanks. Usually, there is a little eunuch in charge. Today, the little eunuch is really tired. On the fifth day, he fell asleep at that time. At this time, he was leaning against the beam at the door of the Musheng Temple and fell asleep.

When Wu Jingluan ran to the door of the Musheng Temple, he kicked open the two red painted doors and flew into the house. The little eunuch was so scared that he fell to the ground. He thought what was wrong. After getting up from the ground, he quickly looked back and found that there was a man squatting in the ancestral hall. He was very familiar with his back. He took a few steps forward with courage and came to the door. He looked at it and found that it was Lord Wu Jingluan, the supervisor of Si Tianjian.

What's wrong with this old man today? Why didn't he even wear shoes? The little eunuch picked up the joke at the door.

He said to me to see what Mr. Wu is going to make a fool of himself later, and there will be gossip when he changes shifts.

I don't know that Wu Jingluan is focusing on the earth mover, staring at the eight golden dragon mouths. He wants to know where the earth moves (earthquake) occurs in the eight directions of the dragon head towards the east, south, west, north, southeast, southwest, northeast and northwest.

Half the time (6 a.m.)

An hour ago, before dawn, the civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty came to Xuande Tower and prepared to enter the palace to participate in the early morning.

There are important ministers of the two prefectures and six departments, the members of the imperial history platform, the members of the nine temples and the six supervisors, the Hanlin bachelors, some wise men of the pavilion bachelors, and other heavyweight figures in the palace.

After the three-way morning drum, the palace gate opened, and Yang Yanzhao, the bodyguard of Zuoyemen, stood on the wall and watched the officials enter the city in order, looking at the east side of the Wende Hall.

Half an hour before going up.

The civil servants are facing the room, and the officials are chatting in a low voice to pass the time.

Lv Yijian, who was in an important position, sat motionless on the main seat in the middle, closing his eyes to refresh himself. He was dressed in a purple court suit, with a touch of white Luozhi Zhongdan (underwear) exposed at the collar, an ivory belt on his waist, a goldfish bag, and a pair of white socks and black boots under his feet. He was extremely rich. If he hadn't worn this official uniform, he really couldn't see that this master was the prime minister today and would be killed. I mistakenly thought it was a rich man in Beijing.

"Is the old man asleep?" Someone laughed in the distance.

"This is called nourishing energy and accumulating spirit. The father-in-law is old, and his energy is different from the past," the man replied.

"I can't see what the father-in-law is probably calculating? Who is going to be unlucky?" Someone answered again.

"Don't talk nonsense. If you are heard, you will be careful not to be in a position. There is never a shortage of people." The man replied.

"There is no shortage of people, but there is a shortage of capable people"

"Ha ha" smiled in a low voice.

"I don't know if you and I are capable or not?"

"What is the opinion of keeping the Tao"

"Mr. Mingfu is a capable person, and keeping the way is just a mediocre talent"

"Ha ha" smiled.

"You don't have to be self-deprecating. Who doesn't know Mr. Lei's name? Mr. Lei dares to speak angrily. No one can compare today."

"Mr. Mingfu has praised the guarding the Tao, and he advocated the scolding Buddha and guarding the Tao. Even if he wants to break his head, he can't learn it."

"Well, let's not praise each other here. Let's talk about something serious. Do you really want to do "Ode to Celebrate the Holy De"?"

"Why don't you do it? As a minister, you should share your worries for the country and let your majesty know the situation of the court, instead of just listening to slander!"
