Luoyang, the eastern capital under the night sky, is majestic and sacred.

In the Taiji Hall of Ziwei Palace in the Imperial City, Yuan Tiangang, the newly appointed Imperial Heaven Supervision Supervisor, was wearing a sky-blue Taoist robe, holding a red sandalwood treasure box in his hand, and walked forward with a solemn expression. Behind him was Li Chunfeng, a disciple who was both a disciple and a friend.

"Your Highness, I have observed the celestial phenomena at night recently and observed important changes in the celestial phenomena in recent days. I will report it."

Yuan Tiangang rushed from Hedong to Mengjin last time with Li Yuan, surrendered to Chen Kefu. When Chen Kefu heard that the master and apprentice were the legendary master and apprentice of Yuan Tiangang, he immediately appointed Yuan Tiangang as the supervisor of the Imperial Heaven Supervision and the fifth-rank official position, and Li Chunfeng also appointed him as the deputy chief of the fifth-rank supervisor. Chen Kefu did not completely believe in these astrological studies, but for people of this era, astrological mystics are still very marketable. Chen Kefu himself may not need it, but he needs to take this mysterious power into his own hands.

Chen Kefu took the treasure box with gold and jade inlays, opened it and took out a roll of yellow silk hand scroll, expanded it and saw a large paragraph of nouns about astrological signs. Jing Tian looked at it for a long time but couldn't understand it, and then he saw that the whole article was written with five stars overlapping.

"What does five-star overlap mean?"

Yuan Tiangang was wearing a Taoist robe with his long hanging breasts and beards, and his solemn expression, which looked like a deputy master.

"Your Majesty, the five stars overlap each other, and signs of changing the sky."

Chen Kefu looked at Yuan Tiangang seriously. Yuan Tiangang was still alive and calm. On the contrary, Li Chunfeng behind him might be too young and not good enough. Seeing Chen Kefu looking at him, he immediately lowered his head unnaturally.

Looking at the appearance of the master and apprentice, Chen Kefu immediately understood the relationship between the matter.

The study of astrology is extremely mysterious. In Chen Kefu's opinion, this thing is like the horse scriptures in later generations. A picture is full of strange numbers. In fact, no matter what kind of numbers are drawn at the end, as long as you look carefully on the picture, you can always find the number on it.

But in fact, this is just a wishful view of those who believe. The stars in the sky hang on the sky. Although people who are familiar with astronomy and physics know that the star universe does have certain rules. But this rule cannot be calculated by counting fingers to calculate any signs of the world. To put it bluntly. All this is just like the Horse Sutra, but people who use these astrological signs to find evidence for their arguments. As for whether the evidence is true or not, it depends entirely on whether you believe it or not.

The Hebei army had just completely defeated the two heroes of the Central Plains in Luokou, Wang Xuanying and Li Mi, and captured the two powerful men who had been fighting in the Central Plains for many years to the Eastern Capital. More than a dozen counties in Henan in the Central Plains have been recaptured by the Hebei army one after another, and hundreds of thousands of rebels, bandits and other armed forces from all over Henan were wiped out. Dou Jiande from Hebei was about to be destroyed, and there were good news in Hedong again.

Under such a good situation, not to mention a person like Yuan Tiangang who is known as a saga, he would just pull a commoner in Luoyang City. He also knew that King Chen was not far from landing on the throne of the emperor. He was a person who knew that the sky was about to change, so why did Yuan Tiangang mysteriously say that the five stars were stacked together?

Chen Kefu pondered for a long time: "Okay. I understand."

Yuan Tiangang said with a serious expression: "Your Highness, this is a sign that God has given to Your Highness. Let Your Highness assume the responsibility of unifying the world. Your Highness, it is your duty to follow the destiny of heaven and also a great blessing for the people of the world. If you are in chaos today, you need your wise lord like you to unify the world and return peace to the world."

Chen Kefu thought for a while, unfolded the hand scroll again, looked carefully, rolled it up again, and put it back in the box.

"If you complete your responsibilities, I will also complete my mission. Okay. Go back." Chen Kefu was quite satisfied with Yuan Tiangang's ability to observe the wind direction. Although he knew that what Yuan Tiangang said was just disguised words of persuasion, he represented mysterious astronomical science and had a great influence on the people. He was able to say this so early, which also represented his attitude.

Master and disciple Yuan Tiangang withdrew from the Tai Chi Hall, and only the bright palace lanterns and Chen Kefu's somewhat lonely figure were left in the huge hall.

"Your Highness, are you still not resting?" Feng Hua walked in in a royal blue palace outfit.

Chen Kefu looked at the jade box in front of him, then looked back at Feng Huan. He smiled heavyly and said, "I know you know everything. After years of hard work, now that day has come, I suddenly feel a little unbelievable."

Feng Huan smiled and walked forward, gently stroked Chen Kefu's arm: "Your Highness is just a little unprepared. Didn't you escape from Luoyang City for this day? Maybe things went too smoothly. You have returned to this place in just a few years and are not ready yet."

"I still remember the embarrassment when I left Luoyang, I abandoned my wife and fled in panic. At the edge of Luoshui, I was chased by the imperial soldiers and the aristocratic families in Luoyang City, and almost died of Luoshui. Those things seemed to be still vivid in my mind, but in a blink of an eye we had returned to Luoyang. In Liaodong, outside the frontier, in Hebei, countless battles, and sometimes I felt that maybe there would be no chance to return here in my life. But I didn't expect that this day would come so quickly and smoothly."

"This is what destiny comes from." Feng Hua said with a smile. She was extremely happy to see this man who had decided to entrust all to the top of his life.

Chen Kefu smiled, "Where is the destiny? Yesterday I almost died in the siege of rebels. I was hit by two arrows and got many swords. If you and Li Jing and others had not arrived in time, my life would have been gone. Where would the destiny come from?" Chen Kefu reached out and stroked Feng Huan's beautiful face and looked at her gratefully, "Thank you yesterday. If it weren't for your power on the battlefield, I'm afraid that Wang Xuanying and Li Mi would have escaped at this time, rather than being locked in the prison in Luoyang. Capturing these two people has reduced a lot of trouble for us."

"I am already yours, so why should you be polite to me?" Feng Hua smiled. "Now, what Your Highness should think about ascending the throne."

Chen Kefu took the wine pot from the case and poured a glass for himself and Feng Fan.

With one hand in his arms and the other holding a wine glass, Chen Kefu looked at the jade box in front of him, and couldn't help but feel much more relaxed.

The maids and eunuchs in the hall had been sent outside by Chen Kefu. At such a moment, he wanted to think about things quietly alone.

Zhang Jin had reported to him that General Mao Yi had escorted the first batch of people who moved the capital south to the south and would arrive in Luoyang tomorrow. Among the people who arrived in advance, in addition to important civil officials such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Changsun Wuji, there were also emperor Yang Gao, who had to hold a ceremony for abdication in the eastern capital Luoyang. In addition, Zhang Jin also told him that Changsun Wugui and Izumo and other wives would follow him to go south.

Chen Kefu was a little unhappy when he heard that his two wives who had just given birth had also arrived, but after half a year of separation, he missed him very much. Thinking that they were almost here, they had to transfer another team from Luoyang to pick him up.

When they came, it means that Yang Gao would give way to him soon, and it also means that his world is about to begin. The more such a moment, he feels that he has to deal with more things.

Chen Kefu and Feng Fan hugged each other intimately, but in fact, they had no lingering thoughts at all. The wine in their hands was also the imperial wine left by Yang Jian when he was in power. It was old and the taste was even more mellow. But both of them were a little worried, and the wine they were in their mouths was no different from ordinary white water.

Chen Kefu was thinking about the upcoming founding ceremony, while Feng Fu was thinking about Lingnan.

After defeating the rebels and capturing Wang Yingying and Li Mi, Li Jing and Zhang Zhongjian each advanced westward with 20,000 troops, and swept the eleven southwestern counties in Henan, including Xiangcheng, Yingchuan, Huaiyang, Ruyin, Runan, Huaian, Yuyang, Nanyang, Xiyang, Hongnong, Shangluo, etc., which had been empty for a long time, but had no chance to sweep away the eleven counties in the southwestern Henan. Most of these counties were Li Mi's sphere of influence. After the First Battle of Black Stone, these places had no place to be prepared.

After this Luokou Battle, even a few left-behind soldiers and horses from several counties in the west of Henan that were originally controlled by the Wang family either surrendered or fled.

Only Hongnong and Shangluo, which are far west of Tongguan, and the three counties of Nanyang were originally the territory of the Wang family, but were later captured by Yang Hing. However, at this time, Yang Hing's troops were blocked in Bazhong and Hanzhong, and were covered by Yang Jun and Shen Faxing. Therefore, when Li Jing and Zhang Zhongjian, the two Hebei generals, led their troops to kill, the attacker had already killed the three counties in less than a day.

At present, the vanguard of the Hebei Army has already arrived at Tongguan, the east gate of Guanzhong. In the south, the Wuguan passage on the northern side of the Qinling Mountains has occupied. It can be said that Chen Kefu has now completely occupied Henan in the Central Plains. Under Tongguan, Chen's troops can attack Tongguan at any time and enter Guanzhong.

And Chen Bing Wu Pass can also follow the Qinling Mountains to enter Hanzhong and Bashu at any time.

To the northwest, you can attack Guanzhong, Longshang and Hexi.

Toward the southwest, you can attack Hanzhong, Bazhong, and Shuzhong.

Not only did it completely control the Central Plains, but it also occupied a favorable situation where it could attack and retreat and defend. At present, the Hebei Army truly mastered the Central Plains.

Feng Hua sat silently, staring at the wine glass in front of him, with the tasteless and sour wine on his lips. The situation of the Hebei Army was very good. Originally, she thought the Hebei Army would take the opportunity to go south to Xiangyang, go straight to Jingxiang, Jianghan, and attack the Nanchen Army. But as a result, she heard the military order from Chen Kefu to Li Jing and Zhang Zhongjian, ordering one of them to station troops in front of Tongguan and the other to station troops in Wuguan. They asked them to quit the war and no longer start the war without orders.

This order made Feng Huan secretly anxious. The news she received was that the Nanchen army was now trapped in Bashu when Yang Ming was trapped in Bashu, took a detour from Henan to take Xiangyang, and then followed the underwater road of Han to conquer the city and plunder the land. The dozens of counties in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in Jingxiang, Jianghan, Han, Yuanxiang, and Xiang were all occupied by them. Now the Nanchen army is facing Guiyang and Lingling County, and the iron hoof has reached the gate of Lingnan.

The Southern Chen Army has surrounded the nineteen counties in Lingnan. (To be continued)
