Chapter 1779 Inspection of Gezhi Academy - Zhang Xuexi surprised
"It's hard to say." Yun suddenly realized that he was too excited. He quickly calmed down and said, "In addition to the power of water and fire, when boiling water, the water can lift the lid of the pot, ignite the gunpowder with the fire gun, and fire the projectiles.
There is no other evidence other than the two, and it is hard to say whether it can be used to drive other machines. However, there are few people in the Central Plains now, and if many vassal states really have the power of water and fire, it will be of great use."
"And it's not just about going to see this research. My father hasn't been to Gezhiyuan for a while, so I went to see if there were any progress in various researches, and by the way, I wanted to see the research on the power of water and fire."
Several people present did not believe Yun's words. After all, he had been too excited just now, and these words were obviously an excuse. But of course, they would not expose it. Min'er also quickly said: "Dad, can you let your daughter come with you tomorrow?"
Going to Gezhiyuan? After all, dad wants to take a look at the research on the power of water and fire, and my daughter has funded that person."
"Yes." Yun agreed. He thought of something again and asked: "Min'er, what is the name of this person who studies the power of water and fire?"
"His name is Zhang Xuexi. He is twenty-three years old and is from Shangyuan County. His family is relatively wealthy and he has no worries about food and clothing. He is not the eldest son and does not need to inherit the family business, so he spends all his time studying these things that others think are strange. Three years ago
Come to Gezhiyuan." Min'er answered. Hearing her answer, Yun nodded and said nothing.
"Dad, my daughter has to go again tomorrow." Seeing that her father had agreed to the eldest sister's request, Wen Luo said again.
Yun hesitated for a moment, but thought that she heard Cao Zheng, Sichengtang, Zhou Wei and others studying why celestial bodies did not fall to the ground, and Wen Luo was studying astronomy with Zhou Wei, so she agreed.
: "Okay, you can go together tomorrow."
"Dad, my son/daughter wants to go too." Seeing that Wen Luo was allowed, several other people also said.
"Wenqi, you have half a month to go to the martial arts hall to study. Have you read all the military books and history books that Lan Zhen gave you?"
"Wen Yin, it's the same for you. On the third day of February, you and Wen Qi will go to the martial arts hall to study together. Have you read the military books and history books? Even if you have, read them again." From this year, Yun decided to read all the books for his sons.
I just asked them to go to the Jiangwu Hall for two years to learn how to fight with soldiers. Wen Qi, Wen Yin, and Wen Kun will all go to the Jiangwu Hall this year.
"Wen'er, my father is very uneasy when he heard that Leonor's wedding is approaching. You are the person she knows best in Ming Dynasty besides Wen Di. Go to the mansion to accompany Leonor tomorrow. Next time, my father will take you to Gezhi.
hospital."
Yun rejected the idea of the three children going to Gezhiyuan tomorrow, and said to Wenyuan and Wen: "You will also go to Gezhiyuan together tomorrow."
"Son, I know." Wen Yuan agreed hurriedly; Wen Yuan was reluctant to go to Gezhiyuan, but he knew that his objection was useless, and his father would definitely take him there, so he also agreed.
At this time, the imperial chef brought the dinner and allowed Liu Wen and Wen'er to have dinner. After dinner, they talked for a while, and Wen and Wen'er said goodbye and left. It was already getting late, and Wen Yuan was waiting for the children to go back.
After resting, Xiyao also returned to the dormitory first.
But just as Min'er was about to say goodbye to her father and return to her bedroom, Yun grabbed her and told her about choosing a husband. Yun could feel that she was very impatient: during these days, neither her father nor her mother, or even
Erniang, five times out of ten times she would meet her, she would talk about choosing a husband to get married to. Min'er had long been tired of this topic. But in the end, she didn't get angry and just agreed a few words.
When Yun returned to Qianqing Palace early the next morning, Min'er, Wenyuan, Wen and Wenluo were already waiting here. Yun gave his servants a few words and took them out of the palace to Gezhiyuan. .
But then Lu Yi suddenly came up and said: "Guan family, Li Tai entered the palace at the right time and is waiting in the Jinshen Palace."
"Didn't I ask you to tell him to come back in the afternoon?" Yun said reproachfully.
"Official, this is not because I am slacking off. I sent someone to talk to Dongshan Nan last night, but he still entered the palace early this morning and waited for the official to summon him." Lu Yi said immediately.
"Go and tell him in person that I don't have time to see him in the morning and ask him to come back in the afternoon." Yun ordered.
"Yes, official." Lu Yi agreed and trotted to Jinshen Hall to deliver the order.
"Let's go to Gezhiyuan." Yun himself said to the children.
The carriage quickly arrived at Gezhiyuan. Although Yun was anxious and wanted to see Zhang Xuexi who was studying the power of water and fire as soon as possible, he could not go straight to this man's small courtyard. He walked around for a while under the leadership of Yang Zhu and Cao Zheng and then passed by. In a courtyard, seeing Min'er's expression, he knew that he had arrived at Zhang Xuexi's courtyard. At this time, there was another "woo woo" sound in the courtyard, so he asked Yang Zhu with a smile: "Yang Qing, what are the people in this courtyard studying?" ?”
"Well," Yang Zhu had a troubled look on his face. "Your Majesty, the people in this courtyard are studying the power of water and fire, that is..."
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yun: "The power of water and fire? Yesterday, I heard the Sixth Prince of the Emperor talking about this person who studied the power of water and fire, and I also learned that this person was also funded by Guangling. I am a little bit concerned about this. Interested, after all, there are few people in the Ming Dynasty now, if this person’s research can really yield results, it will be of great benefit to the court.”
Hearing His Majesty mention that Zhang Xuexi had been sponsored by Princess Guangling, Yang Zhu breathed a sigh of relief. With his own energy, it was of course impossible for him to notice what everyone in Gezhi Academy was researching, but Zhang Xuexi's research was really eye-catching. After all, the courtyard There are not many studies on smoke every day, so it is difficult not to notice it. Yang Zhu carefully observed it several times and discussed it with Cao Zheng and others. He thought that his research had no prospects and planned to do it after all his research funds were spent. They drove him out of Gezhiyuan. Unexpectedly, Her Royal Highness Princess Guangling suddenly offered funding. They immediately did not dare to do anything and left him alone. But His Majesty was on inspection today. If he felt that Zhang Xuexi's research was of no use, why would he reprimand him for allowing it? What should he say if such a person stays in Gezhiyuan? Should His Highness the Princess be surrendered? He can only be scolded. But now His Majesty himself has mentioned that Zhang Xuexi was supported by Princess Guangling, so there is room for prevarication when scolding himself. So Yang Zhu breathed a sigh of relief.
"If Zhang Xuexi's research can really yield results, it will be of great use." Yang Zhu agreed.
"In that case, I'll go in and take a look." Yun said with a smile, and Yang Zhu hurriedly stepped forward to open the courtyard door and led everyone in.
After walking in, the first thing that caught Yun's eyes was a lot of firewood and coal stacked in the yard, as well as seven or eight tanks of water. Although ordinary people still need firewood to live, there will be large water tanks in the yard, but they will never There were so many. He swept around the yard again and saw a lot of scrap metal piled up in the southeast corner. It was probably the broken parts of the machines that had been removed and put there.
Yunzheng looked and saw that Yang Zhu had already walked towards the room in the middle of the room where the sound came from. But before he could knock on the door, the door was opened and a tall young man wearing coarse clothes came out. This man had
The coarse cloth clothes were originally made of dark cloth, but were dyed soot black at this time, making them look tattered. Because his face was also black, his appearance and expressions on his face could not be clearly seen. But according to this
With his brisk pace, Yun thought he was in a good mood.
The man looked very surprised when he saw many people in his courtyard. He was stunned for a moment and then asked Yang Zhu: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"
"Zhang Xuexi, it's not me who wants to do anything. Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and your Highnesses want to take a look at your research." Yang Zhu gestured with his eyes to where the emperor and others were standing, and then said: "Why don't you tell your Majesty and all of you soon?
Your Highness salutes!"
Zhang Xuexi was even more surprised than before. He had never expected that someone with the status of the emperor or prince would come to see his research. He looked at Yun blankly, and he still didn't come back to his senses after being reminded three times. Yang Zhu was on his calf.
He only reacted after being kicked, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Caomin, Zhang Xuexi, I have met His Majesty the Emperor, long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty! I have met His Highness the Crown Prince, I have met all your Highnesses, I am a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" Zhang Xuexi was stunned for a moment.
They forgot how many times the emperor and the prince had to kowtow in front of them, and they just kept staggering.
"You don't have to be so polite. You can live without them." Yun said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Xuexi kowtowed again and then stood up.
"You don't have to be so formal. I'm just here to see how your research goes. After all, if it yields results and is of great use, it's worth my coming to see in person." Seeing that he was still very nervous, Yun said with a smile.
However, his words had no effect, and Zhang Xuexi was still very nervous. It was said that there were as many officials in the capital as dogs, and he might not pay much attention to the officials of the fifth and sixth grades, but how many of them had seen the emperor? Even if he heard that the current emperor was very
He likes private visits incognito, and not many people have met the emperor. In addition, Yun has been the emperor for more than ten years and his majesty is getting more and more serious. Of course, Zhang Xuexi cannot relax.
Yun had already expected that his words would have no effect, and said with a smile: "Is the machine that uses the power of water and fire in the main room? I want to go in and have a look." After saying that, he walked into the room. The others followed behind him.
.
Zhang Xuexi gave way to everyone at a loss and stood at the door, unconsciously staring at everyone who entered the room. But then he suddenly noticed someone and asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"
The person he asked smiled and was about to answer, but a guard said: "How brave! How dare you speak to Her Royal Highness Princess Guangling like this! Why don't you kneel down to apologize!"
"Her Royal Highness Princess Guangling? Are you Her Royal Highness Princess Guangling?" Zhang Xuexi looked at this person in surprise, but he quickly realized that it was very impolite to do so, he quickly lowered his head, and subconsciously wanted to kneel down as the guard ordered. But in his heart
There is still a voice shouting two sentences repeatedly: 'How can she be Her Royal Highness the Princess! The person who sponsors me turns out to be Her Royal Highness the Princess!'
