Zhang Yi immediately ordered: "Call this Sun Changhai over!"
"yes!"
"Wait a moment!"
"Sir, do you have any other instructions?"
"You go to the Academy of Sciences again and see who is there. Please come over and say that I have something to discuss."
All the bases of the Academy of Sciences have been moved to Xishan, and only a few people on duty are left in the palace on weekdays to cooperate with the work of the emperor or other yamen.
"yes!"
The clerk replied hastily, turned around and walked out of the office.
Zhang Yi looked at Cao Nai and asked, "Mr. Cao, how do you think this person should be dealt with?"
Cao Nai was silent for a moment and said: "This matter can be big or small, it's better to be cautious!"
Hearing the conversation between the two, Yang Shan was a little confused and asked: "It's just a memorandum of advice. There's no need to be so nervous, right?"
Zhang Yi explained: "Yang Siqing didn't know something. If this matter had been done in the past, it would have been nothing, but it's different now!"
Yang Shan didn't understand and asked: "What's the difference?"
"In the past, when there were different opinions between the emperor and I, the emperor would not push too hard and would make some concessions, but now... whoever dares to disobey the holy will will definitely end up with a bad end!"
"In this case, wouldn't the emperor become...a tyrant?"
"Yang Siqing, be careful what you say!"
Zhang Yi was so frightened that he quickly waved his hands and said, "That's not what you said!"
Cao Nai then said: "The emperor used to be very talkative, but since Yang Dan and others launched the coup, everything has changed!"
Yang Shan sighed, shook his head and said: "No matter what, the mouths of all sentient beings in the world cannot be blocked."
While the three of them were chatting, Sun Changhai had arrived.
"Are Zhang Butang...Cao Butang and Yang Siqing all here?"
Zhang Yi asked with a straight face: "What's going on with this memorial?"
Sun Changhai knew very well that it must be a memorial, so he had been prepared for it.
"As a subordinate of the Ministry of Etiquette, if I see something that is not in accordance with the etiquette and law, I should go to heaven to hear it. I don't know what's wrong?"
Zhang Yi said with a dark face: "The things you said in this memorial are purely based on rumors and are not true!"
"Zhang Butang's words are wrong. Taizu Emperor Gao once left an ancestral precept, and the civil servants of our dynasty can hear about it and make plans!"
"The emperor has also made it clear that we can hear about the conspiracy, but we must have real evidence. If it is finally found to be a frame-up, we will bear the crime of rebellion!"
"Your Majesty is not setting up a trap. Your Majesty has abandoned the classics left by our ancestors and asked us scholars to learn from craftsmen. Now even the Japanese know that fancy skills are not advisable. The Four Books and Five Classics are the right way. Are these words true?"
Can’t say?”
Zhang Yi frowned and said: "Sun Changhai, I would like to give you a piece of advice. I am so eloquent here today that I will not argue with you, but you will regret it sooner or later!"
Sun Changhai smiled faintly and said: "I am speaking from the bottom of my heart. I won't be happy if I don't vomit!"
Zhang Yi picked up the memorial and said, "After I have said all my good things, I want to ask you one last question. Do you insist on submitting this memorial to the emperor?"
"Please also ask Zhang Butang to submit it on your behalf!"
"good!"
Zhang Yi nodded and said: "I will present it to the emperor later. You go back and wait for the news!"
"Thank you!"
Sun Changhai clasped his fists in salute, turned around and left with a smile.
Cao Nai looked at the man's back and couldn't help but shake his head, saying: "You are about to die, and you don't know it yet!"
Yang Shan was always troubled and said, "What will happen if this memorial is submitted?"
Zhang Yi said calmly: "A lot of people will die!"
"Death...many?"
"Yes, a lot!"
Only then did Yang Shan feel the seriousness of the matter and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Of course, many people are referring to Donglin Academy, those people who don't study hard and dance around every day to oppose the emperor.
"Sir Zhang, Xu Pu, a bachelor student at the Academy of Sciences, would like to see you!"
Zhang Yi nodded and said: "Please come in!"
Xu Pu was a new Jinshi in the previous term and an important staff member of the Institute of Electromagnetics of the Academy of Sciences. If his qualifications were not slightly lacking, he would have been included in the imperial examination question group.
"Zhang Gong, Cao Gong, Yang Gong!"
Xu Pu walked in, saw Cao and Yang, and hurriedly greeted them one by one.
The three of them clasped their fists in return and Zhang Yi said: "Xu Shidu, I have some questions today and I would like to ask for advice."
Xu Pu hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhang, you are too polite. If you have any questions, just ask me and I will try my best to answer them."
Zhang Yi admires the attitude of the students of the Academy of Sciences very much. No matter how great the achievements of the Academy of Sciences are, every student is very humble. Looking back at Sun Changhai's arrogant expression, he simply deserves a beating!
"The Japanese state has sent Bai Yiyijiangliang as an envoy to our court. I wonder if Xu Shidu has heard about it?"
"heard."
Xu Pu nodded and continued: "It is said that this man traveled across the ocean when he was young and searched for famous teachers in the Jiangnan area. Today, he is quite famous among the Jiangnan nobles."
Zhang Yi said: "This person is sent as an envoy to our court, probably to find a way to enrich the country and strengthen the army. Now he is mixed with people from Donglin Academy, and things are a bit complicated."
Xu Pu was surprised and said: "This man is confused. Since he is looking for a way to make the country rich and strengthen its army, how can he hang out with a group of rotten scholars?"
Zhang Yi was speechless, and Cao Nai and Yang Shan were also slightly embarrassed.
Xu Pu is from Changzhou, so he can be classified as a member of the Jiangnan gentry. How long has it been since he beat someone to death with a stick and called him a rotten scholar?
I just wanted to praise you for being so humble, but you lost it so quickly?
Having said that, Ichijo Kaneryoshi is certainly not confused, but rather very shrewd!
Xu Pu saw the surprised looks of the three people and said with a smile: "If he wants to enrich the country and strengthen the army, he should come to the Academy of Sciences. What can he do with those Confucian servants?"
Zhang Yi smiled awkwardly and said, "It should be about sharing experiences..."
"Donglin Academy is just an old stubborn man, with a group of little stubborn men, immersed in the past every day, standing still, and still enjoying it!"
Hearing Xu Pu's sharp words, Yang Shan couldn't help it and said: "Read the books of sages and govern the world. Donglin Academy upholds the aspirations of sages and sages, but it is not as bad as what little friend Xu said."
"Mr. Yang...forget it, let's not talk about them anymore!"
Xu Pu hesitated to speak, mainly because he saw that Yang Shan was old and did not want to argue with him.
Zhang Yi quickly took over and said: "Our country has developed rapidly in recent years, and it is inseparable from the Academy of Sciences. I think it is best not to let Ichigo Kaneliang come into contact with the Academy of Sciences. I would like to trouble Xu Shidu to convey these words to Dean Bei.
"
Xu Pu suddenly laughed and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, it's okay to let him come to the Academy of Sciences and take a look."
"How can that be done? The research conducted by the Academy of Sciences is a major secret of our government. How can it be easily leaked?"
"Mr. Zhang doesn't know something. Even if you teach him step by step, he won't be able to learn it!"
Zhang Yi asked in confusion: "Why?"
Xu Pu thought for a moment and said, "Let me give you an example. What does it take to build a steam train?"
