There are no two kings in the country, and there are no two days in the sky.

Among the sun, moon and stars, the sun always represents the emperor and the emperor.

"Tiangu swallows the sun" means that the emperor is in danger.

The gentleman in the government school looked at the suddenly darkening sky outside and the sun that had lost a tooth in the sky. He was stunned and stunned.

The prince's little face tensed up, and he pushed the door open and was about to go out. Seeing this, the Taoist idiot immediately stopped him and said, "Your Highness, no!"

The prince looked at Dao Chi with a bit of annoyance.

The Taoist Chi said: "I have read in an ancient book that during a solar eclipse, people should avoid it, otherwise it will easily hurt their eyes. Even if Your Highness is worried about the princess, you should take care of yourself to save the princess from worrying."

His words were inspiring. After hearing what he said, the master and his companions also stepped forward to dissuade the prince.

The prince glanced at Dao Chi and no longer insisted on going out. He turned around and told Gao Kang, "Go and tell your mother and concubine that you are alone and have nothing to do. Please feel free to stay away from the palace for the time being."

Gao Kang responded, and Dao Chi reminded him in a low voice: "Don't raise your head to look at the sun."

Gao Kang nodded and ran to the backyard to spread the word.

As I was talking, the sun was missing again in the sky.

Because of what the Taoist idiot said just now, everyone did not dare to let the prince stop in front of the window any longer, and all tried to persuade him.

Although the prince looked a little impatient, he still followed everyone's advice and moved inside from the window.

With the Crown Prince as the center, everyone sat in a circle.

Although there are few evening classes in private schools, there are still candles.

Huang Jin and Lu Fang found candles and lit them. The atmosphere in the room became more solemn.

The two of them got hot tea and poured it for everyone.

There was silence in the school, except for the sound of everyone breathing.

The teacher who taught the class couldn't show off his majesty, he just glanced in the direction of the door and window from time to time.

Whether it was Lu Wenzhao, who was usually venomous, or Wang Qi, who loved to joke, they were holding their breath and concentrating at this moment, and they couldn't be more honest.

The solar eclipse is related to the emperor. As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, who dares to say anything.

Only a Taoist idiot, not a native of the ancients, had less taboos in his heart. He moved his ears, but there was still silence outside. He couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, and asked the prince in a low voice: "Your Highness, why is there no one beating gongs and drums? Doesn't the book say,

Every time the Tengu swallows the sun or the Tengu swallows the moon, do people have to make noise to drive away the Tengu?"

The prince was originally very nervous. He was thinking about the general outline of the clan that the chief official told him, as well as the palaces of the few princes who had the hope of bringing his son to this day.

The time when the feudal clan was established was short-lived, but he was also an enemy in the clan, that is, Prince Xiang's Mansion was next to the Xingfan clan.

Prince Xiang's Mansion is less than three hundred miles away from Xingguo. It once had a court case with Prince Xing's Mansion due to the dispute over farmland between Ying and Liang. Although Prince Xing's Mansion won a complete victory in the end, due to the close proximity of the two countries, Prince Xiang's Mansion still had troubles from time to time.

Looking for gaps.

Fortunately, although the founding king of Prince Xiang's Mansion was the same mother as Emperor Xuanzong, he was qualified to adopt a prince to the current king. However, Prince Xiang's Mansion had already broken off the line of succession. The previous Prince Xiang had no children, and the throne was inherited by his younger brother. The current Prince Xiang still has no son.

heirs.

As long as it is not the Prince of Prince Xiang who inherits the throne, no matter which prince of the Prince's Palace inherits the throne, it will be the same to Prince Xing's Palace.

Thinking of these, the prince felt a little calmer.

At first I thought that the Taoist idiot was silent but well-read and a knowledgeable person. Now after listening to his words, the prince felt that his companion had read a lot but knew little about the world, so he was still immature.

Seeing that he sincerely asked for advice, the prince patiently said: "This is the palace, and the officials and servants of the palace are bound by rules. Who dares to do this? The palace is blocked by a city wall, so you can't hear anything going on outside. But I just thought, the people outside are

We must follow the old customs.”

The exchange between the two broke the silence in the room. Everyone got over the initial nervousness and their emotions gradually stabilized.

Whether the emperor died or not, what does it have to do with them? Anlu is more than two thousand miles away from the capital, and the real emperor is far away.

Wang Qi said: "It is said that if a tengu eats the sun, it is a rare event in a hundred years. After today's experience, it can be regarded as a gain in experience."

Chen Chizhong said: "It is only rare in the south of the Yangtze River. I heard that it is common in the northwest. Sometimes it comes once every two months. It just bites a corner and there is no change. If the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple don't pay attention to the sky, there may not be any change.

I can record every change.”

After saying this, Chen Chizhong no longer felt nervous. Birth, old age, illness and death, like the waxing and waning of the sun and the moon, are normal conditions in the world.

The Taoist idiot listened and couldn't help but nod. It seems that the wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated. The inference of later generations about the solar eclipse cycle is two months. The sun eclipses once every two months, but the place is different, and the things seen are different.

Also different.

However, solar eclipses are common, but total solar eclipses are rare. Looking at the darkness outside, it is obvious that what everyone is experiencing today is a total eclipse.

If you don't move in one place, the chance of seeing a total solar eclipse is once every three hundred years.

For the people of Ming Dynasty, this is indeed a rare event in a century.

The prince was looking at Dao Chi and saw him looking up towards the window. He also followed his line of sight and saw the scene of day and night outside, and his body couldn't help but freeze.

It seemed like a long time passed, and in the blink of an eye, another glimmer of light came out from under the dark sky.

The prince breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about the "eye-sore" words mentioned by Dao Chi before, and lowered his head and stopped looking.

The Taoist idiot has also looked away, knowing that the total solar eclipse is already halfway over.

He picked up the tea in his hand, which was still slightly hot.

By the time the temperature of the tea in his hand changed from scalding hot to lukewarm, the sun was shining brightly outside, and nothing left a trace of what had happened before.

Everyone returned to the window again, looking at the bright spring light outside, feeling grateful to have survived the disaster.

Lu Bing was even more happy and whispered: "Your Highness, is this good?"

The prince's eyes dimmed and he did not answer Lu Bing's words.

Even if the sky is normal now, what happens happens happens... It's just that these are the things that the adults in the capital need to worry about... They, the vassal kings and the people, just need to keep their peace.

Whenever there is a change of throne in the capital, Tiqi's activities become active, and the only thing they are on guard against is the clan kings.

Ever since Emperor Chengzu launched the "Battle of Jingnan" as a vassal king and finally won the Great Ming Dynasty, the royal family has been extremely wary of kings, just for fear of the emergence of a second "Chengzu".

Although the prince had no intention of rebellion, he felt a little depressed when he thought that after he inherited the throne, he would have to report to the guarding eunuch before even leaving the city.

Although it was only the beginning of the day (9 o'clock in the morning) and the class this morning had not been finished yet, with the total solar eclipse causing so much noise, neither the teacher nor the students were in the mood to go to class again.

Even the crown prince couldn't wait to visit the princess and others.

Comparing his concerns, he glanced at everyone and said, "The school will be on vacation today and tomorrow. Let's resume classes on the third day."

Hearing this, everyone was filled with joy. After watching the prince leave, they apologized to their husband and each took their servants out of the house and went home.

Along the way, there were very few pedestrians. Even if there were occasional pedestrians, they would have lingering fears on their faces and would look up at the sky from time to time.

It seems that the people are frightened by this strange appearance.

When the Taoist idiot returned home, Grandma Yan looked a little unhappy, but Mrs. Wang Ning was very calm. I heard that she had been chanting sutras in the Buddhist hall.

Seeing the Taoist idiot come back, Wang Ning's face showed kindness: "You kid, I'm not a kid, why are you worried?"

Dao Chi helped Wang Ning's arm, asked her to sit on the chair, and said: "The waxing and waning of the sun and the moon are the constant signs of heaven's reincarnation, but people don't know it, so they often panic. My grandson knows that my grandmother is not afraid of this, she is just afraid of it.

Grandma was worried about her grandson, so her grandson came back."

Hearing that everything in the palace was as usual, the prince considerately gave them two days off. Wang Ning said, "Your Majesty is kind-hearted."

However, with a calm expression, Wang Ning looked at the direction to the north, feeling a little worried and said: "It's better not to rush north, wait for the news from the capital."

The Taoist idiot nodded and said, "Okay, listen to grandma."

The weather is very bad, and old people like Wang Ning can't help but think a little more.

The Ming Dynasty had been in charge of the world for one hundred and fifty years, and there were many twists and turns, and the people also had many hardships.

Jingchu is located in the hinterland of the hinterland, and the war is difficult to reach, but what about the capital city? If the emperor dies, and if the vassal king makes any changes, the most dangerous place is the capital city.

Just because she was afraid that her grandson would be worried, Wang Ning only read these words twice in her mind and did not say them out loud.

The Taoist Chi said: "Grandma, don't worry about my sister. The palace is well-informed, and any news in the capital will be known to my grandson."

Wang Ning nodded, her brows relaxed a lot.

In the afternoon of the same day, Tian Erzhu brought back a piece of news from his friends on the street. Dalang's eyes were blind, while Erlang's eyes were not blind, but his vision was blurry. The neighbors all said that this was heaven's news.

Dalang did too many bad things, but God would not forgive him; Erlang was slightly stronger than his brother, so he was spared.

The Taoist idiot knew that this must be a solar eclipse, and the two brothers looked directly at the sun. In later generations, more than one or two people will hurt their eyes due to improper viewing of solar eclipses.

The thieves in the tenth house are not dead, and they often come to the door shamelessly these days. The Taoist idiot asked Zhou Dashun to come over, and he was on guard against the tenth house. If it was because of the solar eclipse, it would be a good thing for them to be afraid.

Otherwise, if there really is a fuss, the tenth family will be despised, and the outer nine families will also be implicated. After all, the two families are close sects.

After spending a day with Wang Ning at home, Dao Chi returned to the palace the next afternoon.

Here at the palace, there are also people who hurt their eyes.

A woman in charge of sweeping the inner courtyard, and a house guard who usually behaved unscrupulously, both injured their eyes and couldn't see at all.

There is no need for other people to say anything about heavenly news or the like, the person involved himself is frightened to death.

The former was so crazy that she knelt on the ground without waiting for anyone to ask her, and kowtowed to the sky, begging gods and Buddhas for mercy. It turned out that she had drowned three granddaughters with her own hands.

Although the one hundred households did not collapse immediately like the sweeper, but after asking the doctor to see it and realizing that the eyesight was inexplicable and unable to move, he went to see Mr. Qian and voluntarily gave up his position as one of the hundred households to a

He is just the nephew of the captain.

It turns out that the position of the Hundred Households should have been his brother's, but he used various means to wrest it from him.

Suddenly, the conversation among everyone in the palace changed from the panic about the solar eclipse to one about good and evil being rewarded...
