This guy can even predict earthquakes. He is indeed a rare talent, but he has such a hot temper that he beats people up at every turn.
"I can't bear to say a few words to you? If one day I wrong you, will you also beat me?"
"I...will die!"
Beilin finally realized her problem and lowered her head to the ground.
Xiao Weizhen immediately cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, please let me make the decision for you!"
Zhu Qizhen was angry and said dissatisfiedly: "You have nothing to do in the Hanlin Academy, why did you go to the Academy of Sciences to cause trouble?"
Xiao Weizhen said aggrievedly: "No, my dear, it was their Academy of Sciences who took the initiative to provoke them. They took that, that... evil book and came to the Hanlin Academy to promote their heresies. I have studied the books of sages since I was a child, and today I saw the heresy.
How can you just sit back and ignore the heresy that is causing trouble in the court?"
"You are heresy!"
Bei Lin almost jumped up, but when she saw Zhu Qizhen's dark face, she lowered her head again.
Xiao Weizhen continued to complain: "Look, Your Majesty, this man is so lawless relying on your favor. He even uses violence in the main hall. How can he look like a scholar?"
Beilin immediately glared angrily: "Old man, I beat you simply because I can't stand your eccentric look. What does it have to do with the emperor's favor? Every injustice has its own debtor, and if I beat you today, the court will beat you and punish you.
I admit it, don’t blame the Emperor, it has nothing to do with the Emperor!"
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "You should tell me what happened?"
Xiao Weizhen and Bei Lin scrambled to tell the story of what happened.
Compiling an encyclopedia of science is the first major event after the establishment of the Academy of Sciences.
Even a lot of the contents were written by Zhu Qizhen himself and handed over to Beilin. Students from the Academy of Sciences then read ancient books, made systematic arguments, and then expressed them in as plain language as possible.
Because this book is popular science and is intended for the general public, the words used are almost all in vernacular.
Beilin is well aware that she has a heavy responsibility. This book is not only for science popularization and education, but also has a deeper meaning, which is to break the Confucian monopoly on knowledge.
For two thousand years, they have held the banner of saints and openly monopolized the world's ability to learn knowledge.
The scary thing is that they have the right to speak and the standards for judging right and wrong.
What is a standard?
The standard is that what they say is serious knowledge, then what is serious knowledge.
Any book they say is an evil book is an evil book.
This is the scariest thing!
If you don't solve this problem, any doubts you have about them will be pulled into the pre-set knowledge level, and then they will use their rich debate experience and quote classics to hammer you to death.
Therefore, Beilin thought of a way.
Based on the Encyclopedia of Science, he specially simplified a version, then printed it into volumes and distributed them to schools in the capital and surrounding areas as children's books.
Children are eager to learn by nature and are already interested in these weird things. In just one month, this book became very popular...
Soon, this book was brought to the Hanlin Academy. When Xiao Weizhen took a look at it, his hands and feet became cold and his whole body trembled with anger.
Is the world we live in a ball?
What else can I say, people live everywhere on this planet, and behind the Ming Dynasty is the Golden Continent.
In this case, wouldn’t everyone living in the Golden Continent be about to fall?
This is all heresy!
The second article is even more outrageous, saying that the ball revolves around the sun, and then the moon revolves around the ball, and also talks about solar and lunar eclipses...
He does know about solar eclipses. This phenomenon has been recorded since ancient times and is commonly known as the Tengu eclipsing the sun.
However, this "sun" represents the Emperor of Heaven, and the Emperor is the son of Heaven. If a solar eclipse occurs, it is a bad omen for evildoers to invade the Emperor's rule.
Therefore, the date of occurrence
An eclipse means that the emperor has lost his virtue, and female gangsters are in power. A total solar eclipse heralds the death of the country, the death of the king, chaos in the world, the fall of cities, and the loss of territory.
Xiao Weizhen understood. No wonder the emperor was so fond of Beilin. This guy really knew how to please the emperor. He said that all eclipses of the sun and moon were natural and had nothing to do with the emperor's lack of morality!
Let’s look at the third article: Why does it thunder and rain, and why is there lightning?
The more Xiao Weizhen looked at it, the more curious he became, and the answers inside made him even more stunned.
Because it is very mysterious, what kind of charge is there in the clouds, what kind of collision between positive and negative poles creates lightning...
This book should be called Classic of Mountains and Seas, right?
He suppressed the disgust in his heart and continued to read the fourth article. Why does water boil when it is boiled? What is water vapor? How to convert water vapor into power?
What a mess!
Xiao Weizhen couldn't bear it anymore. He thought that the Academy of Sciences had just been established and wanted to be arty, so he excerpted some poems or compiled some historical materials.
Who knew that there were all these mysterious things inside, and they said copper and iron could conduct electricity...
Isn’t the lightning in the sky caused by the male thunder and the female lightning?
Although this book...can't even be called a book, because it doesn't deserve it!
Xiao Weizhen sneered at this weird science encyclopedia and said that the people in the Academy of Sciences are not normal, and he should avoid following them in the future.
However, there is Honglu Temple between the Hanlin Academy and the Academy of Sciences. People on both sides see each other with their heads lowered every day, and problems arise the next day.
The cause was that a Hanlin scholar met a colleague from the Academy of Sciences at the gate of Honglu Temple.
These two people were Jinshi in the same year and entered the Hanlin Academy in the same year, so they are relatively familiar with each other.
When the Academy of Sciences was first established, one of them was very interested in natural sciences and took the initiative to sign up and go to the Academy of Sciences.
Although they are not in the same department, they usually chat a few words when they meet, such as: have you eaten, what are you busy with, etc.
But this time, something happened.
Because Na Hanlin talked about the book Encyclopedia of Science, his tone was full of contempt and disdain, the man from the Academy of Sciences immediately quit, and the two started arguing.
It was the rush hour for work, and the quarrel between the two people involved the dispute between old and new doctrines, which immediately attracted more people to join the battlefield.
The result was out of control, and finally, Xiao Weizhen, the head of the Hanlin Academy, was alarmed.
This man was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Xuande's reign. He was quite prestigious in the circle of scholars. Relying on his status, he reprimanded the people of the Academy of Sciences on the spot, saying that they were not doing their jobs properly and were doing such messy things all day long. They had read the sages' books in vain.<
/p>
In the past, if a big boss like Xiao Weizhen came forward, no matter who he was, he would have to give him some face.
But this time, he encountered a group of stupid people!.
