Chapter three hundred and ninety-ninth: thunder strikes(1/2)
The anger of a scholar is conceivable.
Because of this book, the foundation of the Four Books and Five Classics directly shakes the heart.
It would be fine if it was written by ordinary people.
At this moment, the market is very open. Not to mention all kinds of strange and strange theories, even all kinds of erotic books are popular.
Some scholars not only write it, but also draw it.
But the problem is that this is what the emperor and the Marquis of Xinxian were written.
This has completely become a bad intention.
Li Wen was furious, and many scholars also started to make trouble.
But Emperor Aoki had long forgotten this.
Early this morning, he summoned the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet in Danei to discuss matters, and then returned to the Qinzheng Hall, looking worried.
Wei Zhongxian poured tea for Emperor Tianqi himself, looked at Emperor Tianqi, and said with apologies, "Why is Your Majesty depressed?"
Emperor Tianqi said with a puzzled look: "For some reason, today the Qing family always looks at me with strange eyes, just like... my face is not washed clean. Wei, come and see what the difference is on my face?"
Wei Zhongxian did not look up and looked at it, but said, "I think it may not be the reason."
"It's not the reason, why?" Emperor Tianqi recalled those strange eyes just now and always felt strange.
At this time, Wei Zhongxian carefully took out a book from his sleeve and then said, "I think it may be because of this."
"This?" Emperor Aoki looked at the book resting on the desk, subconsciously picked it up and flipped it over. It doesn't matter if it doesn't look at it, just look...
Good guy...
Why is there lightning?
Why does it rain when swallows fly low?
Why don’t lightning and thunder come together?
Why do objects fall?
this……
What's the thing?
but……
Then again.
Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but have a little doubt in his heart when he saw these reasons.
Yes, why?
To a certain extent, people of this era have poor imaginations for all natural phenomena.
Anyway, if you can't explain it, just throw it to God.
At least so many whys.
It makes people have a desire to explore and seek knowledge.
Emperor Tianqi’s first thought was, is this the Mountains and Seas?
But when I continue to watch, the more I look, the more strange it becomes.
Objects will fall, won’t they fall?
What is gravity?
The more I read it, the more mysterious it became. Emperor Tianqi smiled: "This book... is actually interesting, but a bit absurd. If you only think of it as a strange theory, it may not be necessary."
Yes.
This book... itself is a popular science book, and the most important thing about popular science book is not popular science, but it is just to be interesting.
This thing is of course not worth mentioning in the eyes of later adults.
But for children who have more frequent knowledge, it is extremely interesting.
Of course, the scientific cognition level of people in this era may be worse than that of children in later generations.
It's natural to find it interesting...
Emperor Apocalypse looked through a few pages and found it more interesting. The most impressive thing was the first article about the generation of lightning.
But Wei Zhongxian couldn't hide his embarrassment, so he reminded carefully: "Your Majesty... This book was edited by Your Majesty."
"What?" Emperor Tianqi was interested, and wanted to read the book carefully. Who knew... it was...
Haha... he edited it himself?
Immediately, an idea passed by Emperor Aoki's mind. Emperor Aoki was shocked, his hand shook, and the book was not held, and he fell on the imperial case.
Then Emperor Tianqi looked up and said, "What, I edited it?"
Wei Zhongxian had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty, you read this book cover."
Emperor Aoki opened the book cover and...suffocated.
It's really...
He remembered it.
In fact, he just responded to this matter and did not take it seriously.
It’s just a favor to Zhang Jing, it’s just a simple task.
only……
Emperor Tianqi just felt his mind buzzing at this moment and subconsciously said, "I am the magnificent master of the Nine Five, write such strange and strange theory?"
Yes, this is the theory of strange things. All the things written in it are full of curiosity and mysterious nonsense.
This is like later generations read "Aerial Baby".
Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Emperor Tianqi said depressedly: "He Zhang Jingyi did not do serious things, so why do you do such strange and strange things?"
"This... I don't know... I only heard that because it was a book compiled by His Majesty, this book is now sold very popular... Many people... are ordering, and the book shops are crazy, and they sell them all in one hour, and then they ask for printing everywhere..."
Emperor Tianqi heard that his blood was already cold.
He could already imagine those reading people who were cursing him as mentally retarded and laughing.
Although Emperor Apocalypse believes that his reputation is not very good.
But you can call me bad, not stupid, right?
"But..." Wei Zhongxian naturally knew Zhang Jingyi's weight in the mind of Emperor Tianqi, so he did not pursue the victory, but said: "But I think that the Marquis of Xinxian is indeed kind-hearted. Your Majesty, you read this article. A few days ago, weren't natural disasters frequent? Many scholars in the city scolded him because of His Majesty's lack of virtue, which caused the wrath of heaven and people. It was God's warning to His Majesty. But the Marquis of Xinxian... This lightning..."
The more Wei Zhongxian said it, the more he felt it was nonsense.
Damn, there are still invisible charges in the world, and there are fucking cloud frictions...
Speaking of this, Wei Zhongxian felt that he could not make up any longer, so he simply stopped talking.
Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Wei Zhongxian's explanation.
At this moment, a eunuch suddenly came in a hurry and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, there are many scholars coming outside the Wumen Gate. They said... Zhang Jingyi made up a mess and had bad intentions. He begged Your Majesty... to take Zhang Jingyi down immediately."
When Emperor Tianqi heard this, he became furious and said angrily: "Why are my ministers, these scholars so troublesome? Who is so bold?"
"The leader is Li Wen. In addition, there are many students of him. They said... they must kneel outside the palace gate until His Majesty makes up his mind."
Emperor Tianqi immediately turned cold and Hanshuang, with murderous intent flashing through his eyes, and said coldly: "Do you dare to interfere in political affairs?"
The eunuch said: "Li Wen heard that he had a lot of reputation in the capital, and many people also looked from afar... The guards were going to expel them, but... these people were determined and injured a student..."
Emperor Tianqi said coldly: "Don't pay attention to them, Wei Fan, you go and deal with it."
He ignored it after he said it.
After hearing this, Wei Zhongxian left according to his order.
Emperor Tianqi picked up the 100,000 Whys on the table again. Although he knew the content inside was nonsense, he seemed to be unable to control his own hands.
This Zhang Jingyi...is really irrelevant.
…………
But at this time, the trouble had already begun outside the palace.
The reason why this matter is very troubled is that Zhang Jingyi is holding a book about strange stories, but it was edited by the emperor and Zhang Jingyi and launched the market.
This is simply a blatant provocation for scholars who insist on orthodoxy.
To be honest, everyone would rather accept the emperor's admiration for Taoism and hide in the palace to refine alchemy than accept the 100,000 such ridiculous books sold everywhere in the name of the emperor.
Many of the contents in the book have a significant blow to the Four Books and Five Classics.
Li Wen brought dozens of scholars to the palace gate...
Of course, before they came... they bought a large amount of copper wire everywhere.
To be continued...
