In the fourth year of Kaibao's reign, Taizu died and his younger brother usurped the throne. In the same year, Wu Taizong's Northern Expedition was defeated and all his elite troops were wiped out. Later, the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor reported: The Ziwei star is faint, the Sirius star is blazing, and I fear that the country will be unrest. I sincerely ask the saints to issue an edict for my sins, and beg the emperor and heaven to show mercy. Taizong was furious and killed twenty-one of the imperial guards. However, celestial phenomena do not change according to what people say, nor do they change according to people's hearts. The emperor's star is swaying, visible to all people. Therefore, there are rumors among the people that there may be a demon star born, and the country thousands of miles away will be in danger. If you kill one person you can save another. I would choose to save half of the people in this world. --Chen Zaixing
