After hearing this, everyone in the Hanlin Academy stood in awe of Xiao Weizhen.
Didn’t the Academy of Sciences keep saying that thunder and lightning are not punishment from heaven, but clouds and electric charges...
What else is there to say, copper wire can conduct electricity? Even the Classic of Mountains and Seas wouldn’t dare to make up such nonsense!
In this case, as long as some on-site experiments are conducted, these rumors will be self-defeating!
"Xueshi Xiao is right, I will go with Xueshi Xiao!"
"Go together, go together, we can't let these female gangsters succeed!"
The people in the Hanlin Academy were beaten to a pulp and didn't know how to vent their anger. After hearing this, they were immediately filled with righteous indignation.
When it comes to eloquence and scolding, they are confident that they can't lose to anyone. However, when the other party can't argue, they fight with fists and kicks. They don't even look like scholars. It's clearly a scholar meeting a soldier, and he can't explain why!
The anger of these people can be imagined, because this encyclopedia directly shakes the foundation of the Four Books and Five Classics.
Many contents in the book have a serious impact on traditional Confucianism.
For scholars who insist on orthodoxy, this is simply a blatant provocation.
What's more, if such deviant words were written by ordinary people, it would be fine. After all, the atmosphere in the market is quite open. Not to mention all kinds of strange stories, some erotic books are also very popular, and even The kind with illustrations.
But the problem is that this was compiled by the Academy of Sciences, and it slaps the imperial court in the face!
To put it in a small way, it means not doing the right thing and being deviant. In a big way, it means harboring evil intentions and bad intentions.
Seeing the commotion among the officials in the main hall, Wynn hurriedly shouted: "Everyone, everyone, please be quiet, don't behave disrespectfully in front of the king!"
Everyone became a little quieter, and Xiao Weizhen said again: "Your Majesty, I kindly ask you to test it yourself and expose the Academy of Sciences' conspiracy on the spot!"
Zhu Qizhen, however, was full of surprise: "How are the Qing family planning to try?"
Xiao Weizhen pointed to the outside of the hall and said: "God's anger is just to warn us that the power of heaven and earth is far from being changed by humans. Since the Academy of Sciences claims that copper wire can draw thunder, I am willing to personally pull the copper wire in front of the emperor and the emperor. In front of you, I will use my body to attract thunder from the sky!"
Zhu Qizhen was stunned. What does it mean for an ignorant person to be fearless? This is a typical example. As long as I can’t see it, the world does not exist.
On a rainy day, instead of hiding, you go outside to trigger thunder?
It’s really too long to live!
"Don't make jokes in the Qing family, people will die!"
"Your Majesty, please don't be deceived by these rumors about women doing evil things!"
Xiao Weizhen became more and more excited as he spoke. He pointed at Beilin and said, "If my old minister is struck to death by lightning today, I will accept it. If the thunder cannot be attracted, I will ask the emperor to issue a decree to ban the demon books of the Academy of Sciences. These demonic words are deceiving the public." All the people will be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
Beilin was also irritated and jumped to her feet and said: "Okay, you want to test it yourself, right? Whatever tools are needed, the Academy of Sciences has them all! Your Majesty, I sincerely request the imperial decree to conduct a lightning test outside this palace. If you use
If there is no thunder and lightning, I am willing to bear the crime of deceiving the emperor. If it is caused, I also ask the Hanlin Academy to shut up from now on and never interfere in the affairs of the Academy of Sciences!"
"Can I still be afraid of you? Since the Academy of Sciences has everything, it saves me some trouble. Now go find a kite, connect it with copper wire, and tie it to me!"
"Just go, someone, come back and get the kite and copper wire!"
The two of them got into a fight, which immediately caused chaos. Just as Wynn was about to say something to stop him, he saw Zhu Qizhen waving to him, so he stepped aside.
Xiao Weizhen's old face turned red and he said impassionedly: "Old minister, please give me your order!"
Bei Lin also said: "I also request an order!"
When things have reached this point, Zhu Qizhen knows in his heart that this kind of person is a typical person who never looks back until he hits the wall. It is useless to say anything now. The only way is to let him try it himself.
However, the price seems a bit heavy...
"In this case, I allow the Hanlin Academy and the Academy of Sciences to jointly conduct experiments. However, after all, this is a matter of life and death. I also ask Xiao Qing's family to sign a consent form. If something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with others."
Xiao Weizhen held his head high and said, "I am willing to sign!"
"Okay, Wynn, get a pen and paper!"
Wynn brought up a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Xiao Weizhen picked up the pen and in a moment, he wrote a letter of insignia and signed his name.
Zhu Qizhen nodded, if you commit suicide yourself, you can't blame others.
Use yourself to lead thunder and start the path of Ming science. Future generations will remember you!
"Then let's get started, I will personally bear witness to you all!"
Xiao Weizhen saluted, then stood up and walked out of the hall.
At this time, the dark clouds above our heads are getting thicker and thicker, and there are constant lightning and thunder in the sky. Summer rainstorms are just like this, they just come.
Today's heavy rain seems to have spotted the opportunity and is determined to differentiate between the two courtyards.
People from the Hanlin Academy followed one after another, and people from the Academy of Sciences also came out. For a moment, the outside of the hall was as lively as a market.
At this time, all the people from the six ministries and nine ministers were attracted. Fan Zhong frowned and could not drive him away. He had to protect Zhu Qizhen and stared around nervously, lest someone take advantage of the chaos to commit murder.
Soon, people from the Academy of Sciences brought a big kite and a bundle of copper wires.
Then, according to the lightning-inducing experiment in the encyclopedia, the copper wire was connected to the kite. In order to increase the lightning-inducing effect, some copper pieces were hung on the kite. After everything was prepared, it was handed over to the Hanlin Academy.
Xiao Weizhen said with a look of determination on his face: "Hang the copper wire on me!"
He was so angry today that he had to fight to be ugly and ugly. Let's see how the thunder and lightning from the male and female of thunder can be attracted to mortals.
When everyone in the Hanlin Academy saw this, they all said, "I'm coming too!"
"Pick one up for me."
"Count me in!"
Everyone scrambled, and soon, seven or eight more people were picked up by the copper coins at the end. There was really no extra copper wire, and the rest left in frustration.
Xiao Weizhen's face was radiant at this time. Looking at this scene of everyone competing for the first place, he couldn't help but feel excited. This is the character of a scholar!
Since the emperor launched the new policy, he has suppressed scholars everywhere. Today, they are all back!
So, with tears in his eyes, he said: "My dear lords, the great governance of the country has always attached great importance to education to correct the bad customs, so that everyone in the world can live and work in peace and contentment. Now some people actually want to shake the foundation of education in the imperial court. Let us read the books of sages.
, I made a statement on behalf of the saint, how can I agree to it when faced with a woman who is sycophantic and harming the country?"
Everyone shouted in unison: "No!"
"Today, I want to see how the crooked ideas compiled by the Academy of Sciences can deceive people!"
As he spoke, he resolutely wrapped the copper wire around his body twice.
Several others followed suit, one after another, like a relay.
Those who didn't grab the copper wire couldn't help but burst into tears and shouted: "Xiao Gong's righteousness is the clearest thing in the world!"
