247【Hot Air Balloon】

"Second brother, take care along the way!"

Huang E took his maid Xia Chan and reluctantly sent Wang Yuan out of the house.

Two days ago, Wang Quan, Wang Jiangshi and Wang Meng also left. From now on, Huang E was alone at home feeling deserted.

Wang Yuan first went to the military camp to check his troops, and then commanded his troops to go northwest around the city wall.

Among them, one thousand cavalry were selected from the Three Thousand Battalion and were commanded by Zhu Ying, the imperial eunuch; three thousand musketeers were selected from the Shenji Battalion and were commanded by Hui'anbo Zhang Wei - this is a typical civil servant

, eunuch, honorable combination.

The emperor was very considerate and did not give Wang Yuan any trouble.

Eunuch Zhu Ying has worked with Wang Yuan twice, and they have a very good relationship.

As for Zhang Wei, the uncle of Hui'an, who had followed Ma Zhongxi to recruit Liu Liu and Liu Qi, he was impeached by the official and had his title thrown into prison. He had just restored his title not long ago, and he didn't dare to go against Wang Yuan as he was showing off his crime and meritorious service.

Li Ying also came with him. He was tired from working in the Leopard Room and did not want to compete with Jiang Bin, so he asked the emperor to accompany the army on the expedition. This guy brought the book boy Li Zhong with him, and the master and servant were very ambitious and wanted to go

Contributions were made on the frontier battlefield.

In addition, Wang Yuan also brought twelve disciples, and Bao Chaozhen was responsible for managing the hundreds of craftsmen who accompanied the army.

As soon as Wang Yuan walked out of the military camp, he saw three people standing at the gate. They were Zhu Dangqi, the king of Guishan, and his two retainers.

Wang Yuan asked in surprise: "Why did the prince come to Beijing?"

Zhu Dangqie couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Your Majesty sent people to review the case again, and I was also taken to the capital for questioning. I swore that I had not rebelled and was willing to go to the north to guard the border to prove my innocence. Unexpectedly... Your Majesty actually asked me to follow Xueshi Wang.

Go to the northwest to fight."

"Then let's go together." Wang Yuan nodded and said.

It seems that Zhu Houzhao wants to make peace, because the eunuch Wen Xiang who created the unjust case, Han Duan, the royal guard, and Wang Chun, the young minister of Dali Temple, are all people trusted by the emperor!

Dealing with them would be equivalent to Zhu Houzhao slapping himself in the face.

Especially the eunuch Wen Xiang, who was close to the emperor and was responsible for delivering imperial edicts and other matters. In recent years, this guy has been running errands.

Zhu Houzhao sent Wen Xiang to try the rebellion case just to give him an opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Unexpectedly, this guy actually created an unjust case and dared to frame a county prince for money.

Now, the emperor chose to make peace with Xini and throw King Guishan to Wang Yuan. After going out to fight for a few years, no one will remember the matter anymore. As for the eunuch Wen Xiang, he was thrown to the Huanyi Bureau by the emperor afterwards. He will never be the same in this life.

I want to stand up again.

In addition, the emperor particularly admired Zhu Dangqi. This county prince was extremely brave, and Zhu Houzhao did not want to see his talent be buried.

Zhu Dangzhi was not only brave, but also strong-willed. Historically, he was wronged and demoted to a commoner. In front of the court officials, he banged his head against a wall to prove his innocence, which led the emperor to order a re-examination of the case.

The army circled the city wall and arrived at the post station in the northwest of the city, where the farewell team had already been waiting.

Jin Lei, Chang Lun, Yu Ben, Zhang Chao, Zhang Chong, Xu Chengming and others were Jinshi, Gu Yingxiang, Yan Song and other colleagues in the court, as well as many disciples such as Wang Wensu, Wang Zhen, Jiang Xin and so on.

At this time, the general examination has ended and the palace examination has not yet begun.

Among Wang Yuan's disciples and colleagues, Fang Kai, Liu Chuxiu, Xiao Mingfeng, Xu Jingsong, Gu Gao, Xi Chun, Xi Tuan, Wang Yan and Shi Dao, a total of nine people passed the examination for this year's Jinshi. Unfortunately, Amway Physics is everywhere

Zhao Jin, a fanatical believer, fell into disrepute because he was too addicted to experiments.

Among these nine people, Xi Chun and Xi Liao have not officially become disciples, because they are the brothers of Wang Yuan's teacher Xi Shu. Even they are not very interested in physics. In the past year, they have rarely done anything as an excuse to review their homework.

Show up in the physics lab.

In addition, Shi Dao was unlucky. After passing the general examination, he suddenly received news that his biological father had died. He had no choice but to give up the palace examination and immediately went home to attend the funeral.

In this case, when the three-year mourning period expires, the next palace examination can be retaken. Therefore, the Jinshi in the ninth year of Zhengde and the Jinshi in the twelfth year of Zhengde will belong to the same year as Shi Dao!

Among the many young disciples, Wang Zhen was the most active, and he played a major role in establishing the philosophical system of the School of Physics. The best student was Fang Kai, who came from a family of Yin and Yang, and who founded the Institute of Physics at the Imperial College.

Tian is studying astrophysics and has his own astronomical telescope.

"Brother Ruoxu, walk slowly!" Luo Jiang and Tian Qiu stood beside Jin Lei and said goodbye to Wang Yuan with fists in their hands.

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "You two are very determined. Congratulations to Brother Luo and Brother Tian for being named on the gold list."

Luo Jiang is a Yunnan scholar who Wang Yuan took the provincial examination in Yunnan and lived in the same courtyard as Wang Yuan. Tian Qiu is a scholar from Sinan Prefecture in Guizhou. In the sixth year of Zhengde, he did not go to Beijing to take the examination because of illness. This year, they both passed the Jinshi examination at the same time.

Luo Jiang even ranked 30th in the examination (a total of 400 people were admitted).

Tian Qiu's passing the Jinshi examination is even more representative. From now on, Wang Yuan is no longer the only Guizhou native in the Ming Dynasty.

"Sir, take care along the way!"

Hundreds of disciples shouted in unison, making other farewells look sideways in shock.

Wang Yuan cupped his hands and said: "Everyone, please go back and study hard!"

After saying that, Wang Yuan got on his horse and shouted: "Let's go!"

Watching the thousands of people go away, Luo Jiang couldn't help but sigh: "We haven't seen him for three years, but Brother Ruoxu is already so majestic. Not only has he made countless achievements, and is trusted by your majesty, but he also has countless disciples. It would have been different when he was in Yunnan."

, how can you and I imagine that?”

"Yes, he has already become the governor, and we have just passed the national examination!" Tian Qiu exclaimed.

Jin Lei said with a smile: "Brother Ruoxu is a versatile man in both civil and military affairs. He can be called an unparalleled scholar in the country. This cannot be said by common sense."

Chang Lun looked into the distance with envious eyes and murmured to himself: "A good man should have made meritorious deeds on the battlefield. Even a corpse wrapped in horse leather will deserve to die. When can I raise my troops to kill the enemy?"

Chang Lun's popularity in Dali Temple is very bad. Jin Lei is just arrogant, but this guy is cynical. Whenever he encounters an unjust case and cannot punish the murderer because of the protection of the superior officials, Chang Lun will write poems and songs, and spread it everywhere.

, has offended several big shots in the DPRK and China.

Luo Jiang and Tian Qiu, following Wang Yuan's disciples, returned to the city to visit the School of Physics.

"Brother Luo, Brother Tian, ​​this is the couplet inscribed by Mr. Wang himself!" Wang Yan was very enthusiastic. He, Luo Jiang and Tian Qiu were of the same year, and Luo Jiang and Tian Qiu were Wang Yuan's old friends. These relationships add up

Extremely intimate.

Tian Qiu looked up at the couplet: "The sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, can be heard in my ears; family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs, I care about everything. Such a couplet, if Brother Xu is so talented, I am ashamed of myself!"

Luo Jiang asked: "Why is Hengpi 'unity of Qi and Principle'?"

Wang Yan explained: "Because this connection coincides with the Dao of Qi and Li. The 'Unity of Qi and Li' of the Physics School is the 'Unity of Knowledge and Action' of Wangmen Xinxue. It is the same concept, but different names."

"How come this couplet contains the Dao of Qi Li?" Luo Jiang couldn't figure it out.

"It's like this. The sound of wind and rain..." Wang Yan started to cheat again, catching all the scholars trying to do Amway Physics.

Huo Tao, who ranked first in this year's general examination, was walking to the gate of the academy. He looked up at the couplet and couldn't help but praise: "Scholar Wang's talent and learning are truly worthy of his reputation. He deserves to be the number one scholar."

When he walked inside, he saw another couplet. Huo Tao clapped his hands and said: "Three thousand Yue Jia can swallow up Wu. Scholar Wang is so courageous!"

Wang Yan suddenly came over: "Do you know physics?"

Huo Tao said: "Your academy is called the School of Physics. I think physics is also related to this."

Wang Yan smiled and said, "Come with me."

Huo Tao followed Wang Yan to the inner courtyard, and saw a rattan basket with a huge cloth bag attached to it. There was something in the middle that seemed to be ready to be lit.

"What is this?" Huo Tao asked.

Wang Yan explained: "Although hot air balloons have not been tested yet, according to the buoyancy knowledge of physics and the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, as long as the air inside the air bag expands due to heat and has a density lower than the temperature outside the air bag, it can travel like a boat.

Like water, flying in the sky!"

Huo Tao stared, confused: "????"

Fang Kai, the super academic of the school of physics, stood in the frame and shouted: "Light the fire!"

Immediately, someone held an extra-long torch and ignited the fuel under the balloon. As the balloon gradually filled up, the rattan basket flew off the ground with Fang Kai, and even flew over the city wall with the southeast wind, directly to the sky above the city of Beijing.

Huo Tao was stunned and said: "Isn't this the Kongming Lantern?"

Wang Yan said with a smile: "Can the Kongming Lantern take people to heaven? Moreover, do you know the principle of the Kongming Lantern? Our school of physics knows it and has studied it clearly for a long time."

"I would like to hear the details." Huo Tao found it very interesting. This Huiyuan was getting into the trap in a daze.

Fang Kai stood in the rattan basket and floated higher and higher. He took out his telescope and observed the ground excitedly. Occasionally, he stretched out his hand to adjust the size of the flame to control the flying height of the hot air balloon.

"Look, there is a god ascending in the daytime!"

In Beijing, someone suddenly pointed at the hot air balloon, which immediately attracted countless people to look up at the sky.

Some people knelt down and kowtowed and worshiped; some people chased each other and cheered and shouted.

With the spring wind direction, the hot air balloon took off from the south of the city and was about to float over the Leopard House.

In the Leopard Room, the eunuchs and guards rushed around telling each other, and those who were timid just knelt down and kowtowed. Monk Fan, who was favored by Zhu Houzhao, also led the monks in chanting sutras.

Zhu Houzhao asked: "Master, do you know what this is?"

The monk put his hands together and bowed: "Amitabha, this is how your Majesty and your empress worship the Buddha sincerely. The Buddha descends as a protector and patrols the imperial city to bless Concubine Zhuang to give birth to a prince early and to grow up healthily."

Zhu Houzhao patted Monk Fan on the shoulder: "Master, you should just recite sutras honestly from now on. This is the hot air balloon invented by Wang Erlang and his disciples."

"Well……"

Monk Fan choked for a moment, and then praised: "Scholar Wang is indeed destined to be a Buddhist, and he can actually invite the Dharma Protector to come to this world!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Zhu Houzhao laughed so much that he no longer believed in Buddhism.

In the School of Physics, hundreds of disciples cheered and ran wildly chasing hot air balloons in the sky. Everyone told everyone that this was an experiment conducted by the Physics School.

One hot-air balloon experiment added more than sixty students to the Physics School, and many scholars from the capital who had not been admitted as scholars came to become apprentices.

Physics was growing vigorously in the Ming Dynasty and moving in an indelible direction.

Every student in the School of Physics will be the seed of spreading science, taking physics to take root and sprout everywhere.
