Chapter 505

The so-called show of loyalty is naturally to be shown with things.

Situ Changjing was so anxious that he was dizzy.

Chu Ze's words of "kill the whole clan" and "cut in half" made him turn blue with fright.

He is now in his best years as a man, and there are still a lot of things waiting for him to do, but he doesn't want to die like this.

When Chu Ze said that he was loyal, Situ Changjing had no time to think about anything. He just wanted to know if there was something that could allow him to express his loyalty.

Almost instantly, Situ Changjing thought of something.

His expression changed slightly, and he suppressed that thought the next second.

Although Chu Ze didn't know what he was thinking of, his intuition told him that this was probably what Zhu Biao wanted.

Because Situ Changjing didn't want to give it, Zhu Biao made this move.

Therefore, the more Situ Changjing is unwilling to take out something, the more likely it is that Zhu Biao wants it.

When Chu Ze saw Situ Changjing's serious expression, he knew that Situ Changjing was still unwilling to take it out.

Gee.

This man is really, he wants things but not his life.

But Chu Ze also wanted to know what it was that allowed Zhu Biao to get his hands on it even if he used this method.

Even for this, Chu Ze had to get the thing.

"Mr. Situ, have you thought about it? If you haven't thought about it, you can still think about it slowly when you go to hell. Don't be in a hurry." Chu Ze smiled carelessly, but his words were full of anger, "Your Highness, look. , this man has no repentance, you specifically gave him a chance, but he didn’t even know how to seize it, why not drag him down now and kill him."

Zhu Biao glanced at Chu Ze.

If he was going to be killed, weren't they openly robbing him?

This is somewhat inappropriate...

Zhu Biao didn't answer immediately.

But Chu Ze winked at him: "I promise, and I'll make sure he lets go." 】

Zhu Biao's slightly uneasy heart calmed down instantly.

"Okay, let's follow Chu Ze's words and gather the Imperial Guards to capture him for His Highness!" Zhu Biao scolded, and several Imperial Guards wearing long waist knives and armor walked in from outside the upper hall.

As he walked, the clanging sound of armor kept hitting Situ Changjing's nerves.

He was so frightened that he broke into cold sweat and his mind went blank.

He couldn't think of anything else but the thing he just thought of.

The Janissaries were already at his side.

They stretched out their hands and grabbed Situ Changjing's arms, one on the left and the other on the right. Just as they were about to drag him out, Situ Changjing suddenly raised his head and shouted in an almost sad voice: "The star chart! The star chart we drew with our own hands!"

Zhu Biao's eyes lit up.

Chu Ze also looked at Situ Changjing in shock.

Although he didn't understand astronomy, he still knew what a star catalog was.

According to basic historical records, the earliest star catalog in our country is the book "Astronomy" written by Shi Shen of Wei State during the Warring States Period.

Therefore, the value of the book is extremely high, so it is respectfully called "Shishi's Star Scripture" by later generations.

It is also the earliest star catalog in the world, much earlier than the earliest star catalog in Greece.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Heng remade the star table.

This star catalog is based on the compilation of previous star catalogs, and through Zhang Heng's careful observation, a new star catalog with as many as [-] stars was established.

It is a pity that this star list was lost at the end of Han Dynasty.

After that, no one was able to draw so many star catalogs. It was not until the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty that more than [-] star catalogs were drawn again.

The losses involved are simply immeasurable!
If Zhang Heng's star catalog had not been lost, our country's astronomical development would have been countless times more advanced than it is today.

And now, Situ Changjing said that he actually had a star chart in his hand.

And they were all drawn by his own hands.

How many stars are there in this star catalog?

Will it be more than the star catalog established by Chen Zhuo in the early Jin Dynasty?Even if there are only one or two more, this is progress!
No wonder Zhu Biao wanted it.

Chu Ze wanted it too.

He walked up to Situ Changjing in two steps, grabbed Situ Changjing's collar, and asked eagerly: "How many stars are there?"

Situ Changjing looked at Chu Ze honestly at this time and said: "Not many. Based on the star catalog compiled by Chen Zhuo in the early Jin Dynasty, there were barely ten more stars..."

Situ Changjing tremblingly raised his fingers and made a "ten".

Chu Ze's eyes lit up.

Ten!
It seems that what this kid said before was not just nonsense.

He really made some achievements in astronomy.

Chu Ze turned to Zhu Biao and said, "Your Highness, Situ Changjing is actually willing to hand over the star chart he drew. How about we give him a chance to start a new life?"

Zhu Biao was also very happy.

"Okay, since Chu Ze intercedes for you and you are willing to serve our Ming Dynasty, I will spare you this time."

Situ Changjing was overjoyed.

He quickly broke free from the restraints of the guards, pushed Chu Ze away, staggered two steps, knelt down towards Zhu Biao, and kowtowed excitedly: "Thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince! Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be spared. My Highness, please apologize to Chu Ze immediately, admit your mistake, and do not make it again in the future. Then, before sunset today, send the star chart you drew to Enter the palace and be detained for another half month. Situ Changjing, do you hear this?"

Situ Changjing: "Yes, Situ Changjing heard it clearly."

"Okay, let's go back."

Zhu Biao spoke, and Situ Changjing withdrew with a pale face.

As soon as he left the main hall, Situ Changjing felt so distressed that he clutched the ball of clothes around his heart.

His flesh hurts.

That star catalog, but it took him more than 20 years and reference to countless astronomical classics to compile the star catalog of Chen Zhuo in the early Jin Dynasty and draw the current star catalog.

He was really reluctant to give it.

Situ Changjing had already made up his mind to work with Zhang Heng of the Eastern Han Dynasty to draw up a star catalog of three thousand.

Then he spread it to the world in his own name.

In this way, his name, Situ Changjing, can be famous among the people of the world for eternity.

As for the emperor...

He never thought of showing the star catalog to the common people.

I never thought about handing it over to Tianjia.

In his opinion, even if it was given to Zhu Yuanzhang and the others, his name could still be passed down.

But in the end it’s tacky.

he does not like.

But now, I have to give it.

Distressed.

It’s all Chu Ze’s fault!
If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have lost his own star chart.

Just wait, he won't let Chu Ze go easily.

Situ Changjing snorted coldly and left the palace with a dark face.

And the star catalog was sent to the palace on the sunset deadline.

But the flowers were about to wither after waiting for Chu Ze.

When he saw this star catalog, Chu Ze was excited and speechless for a moment.

"It seems that this is really digging into Situ Changjing's heart." If the sun was not under his control, Situ Changjing might have made the sun hang in the sky forever and never set down for the rest of his life.

Zhu Biao took the star watch and said with a smile: "That's right. We tried to ask for it before, but Situ Changjing was unwilling. We told him to take it out and give him a sum of money or an official position. He is not willing to take out this star catalog for people with lofty ideals to watch and study together. He only wants to show this star catalog to people he recognizes. Other than that, no one can touch it. We can't , we can only steal it secretly."
