247 Hot Air Balloon

"Second brother, take care all the way!"

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

Two days ago, Wang Quan, Wang Jiang and Wang Meng also left, and in the future, Huang E will be alone at home.

Wang Yuan first went to the military camp to check his team, and then waved his army around the city wall to the northwest.

Among them, 1,000 cavalry, all selected from 3,000 battalions, were commanded by Zhu Ying, the young eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor; The 3,000 musketeers, all selected from the Shenji Battalion, were commanded by Zhang Wei, a typical combination of civil officials, eunuchs, and nobles.

The emperor was very considerate and did not stumble Wang Yuan.

The eunuch Zhu Ying had cooperated with Wang Yuan twice, and the relationship between the two was very good.

And Hui'an Bo Zhang Wei, who once followed Ma Zhongxi to appease Liu Liu Liu and Liu Qi, was impeached by the official and was imprisoned. He had just been restored to his title not long ago, and he didn't dare to do anything against Wang Yuan with his appearance of being guilty of meritorious service.

Li Ying also followed, he was tired from working in the leopard room, and he didn't want to compete with Jiang Bin for favor, so he asked the emperor to go with the army. This goods brought the scholar Li Zhong with them, and the master and servant were full of ambition and wanted to go to the frontier battlefield to make contributions.

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

As soon as Wang Yuan walked out of the barracks, he saw three people standing at the gate, who were actually Zhu Dangshu, the king of Guishan, and his two disciples.

Wang Yuan was surprised: "Why did the prince come to Beijing?" ”

Zhu Dangshu cried and laughed: "Your Majesty has sent someone to try the case again, and I have also been taken to the capital for questioning." I swore that I had not rebelled and was willing to go to the north to prove my innocence. I didn't expect ...... Your Majesty really asked me to follow Master Wang to fight in the northwest. ”

"Let's go together, then." Wang Yuan nodded and said.

It seems that Zhu Houzhao wants to make peace with the mud, because the eunuch Wen Xiang, the Jinyi Wei Han Duan, and the Shaoqing Wang Chun of Dali Temple who created the unjust case are all people who are trusted and reused by the emperor!

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

Especially the eunuch Wen Xiang, who is the emperor's side, who preaches holy decrees or something, in recent years, this guy has been running errands.

Zhu Houzhao sent Wen Xiang to try the case of rebellion, which was nothing more than a chance to give him meritorious service, but he didn't expect this guy to create an unjust case and dare to frame a county king after receiving money.

Now, the emperor chose to make peace with the mud, threw King Guishan to Wang Yuan, and went out to fight for a few years and came back, and no one remembered this matter anymore. As for the eunuch Wen Xiang, he was thrown to the Huanyi Bureau by the emperor afterwards, and he didn't want to turn over again in this life.

What's more, the emperor especially admires Zhu Dangshu, this county king is brave, and Zhu Houzhao doesn't want to see his talent buried.

Zhu Dangshu is not only brave, but also fierce. Historically, he was wronged, demoted to a concubine, and directly in front of the court officials, he slammed his head against the wall to prove his innocence, causing the emperor to order a re-examination of the case.

The army circled the city walls and came to the post station northwest of the city, where the send-off procession was already waiting.

Jin Wei, Chang Lun, Yu Ben, Zhang Chao, Zhang Chong, Xu Chengming and other fellow scholars, Gu Yingxiang, Yan Song and other colleagues in the DPRK and China, as well as Wang Wensu, Wang Xi, Jiang Xin and many other disciples.

At this time, the examination has ended, and the temple 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 Yan, Wang Xu, and Shi Dao, a total of nine people were admitted to this year's Jinshi. It's a pity that Zhao Jin, a fanatical believer in Amway physics everywhere, fell to Sun Shan because he was too addicted to doing experiments.

Among these nine people, Xi Chun and Xi Yan have not officially apprenticed, because they are the brothers of Wang Yuan's master Xi Shu. Even, they are not very interested in physics, and they rarely appear in the physics laboratory under the pretext of reviewing their homework in the past year.

In addition, Shi Dao was more unlucky, and after passing the exam, he suddenly received news that his father had died. I could only give up the palace test and go home immediately to mourn.

In this case, after the three-year mourning period expires, the next palace examination can be retaken. Therefore, the Jinshi of Zhengde for nine years, and the Jinshi for Zhengde for twelve years, will belong to the same year as Shi Dao!

Among the many young disciples, Wang Xi was the most active, and he played a great role in the establishment of the philosophical system of the School of Physics. The best learner is Fang Kai, this guy was born in a yin and yang family, and the Guozijian Physics Society was founded by him, and now he is studying astrophysics all day long, and he also has his own astronomical telescope.

"Brother Ruoxu, go slowly!" Luo Jiang and Tian Qiu stood beside Jin Wei and said goodbye to Wang Yuan with fists.

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "The two of you have a heart, congratulations to Brother Luo and Brother Tian for their titles on the gold list." ”

Luo Jiang is Wang Yuan's Yunnan scholar who participated in the township test in Yunnan and lived in the same courtyard as Wang Yuan. Tian Qiu is a scholar in Sinan Mansion, Guizhou, and Zhengde did not go to Beijing to catch the exam because of illness in the sixth year. This year, the two of them were admitted to the Jinshi at the same time, and Luo Jiang even ranked 30th in the exam (a total of 400 people were admitted).

Tian Qiu's entrance examination is more representative. From now on, the Guizhou people in the Ming Dynasty are finally no longer Wang Yuan alone.

"Sir, take care all the way!"

Hundreds of disciples shouted in unison, shocking the other farewells.

Wang Yuan arched his hand and said: "Come back, all the gentlemen, work hard to learn!" ”

After speaking, Wang Yuan turned over and got on his horse and shouted: "Let's go!" ”

Looking at the team of thousands of people in the distance, Luo Jiang couldn't help but sigh: "I haven't seen you for three years, if Brother Xu, he is already so majestic." Not only have he made countless contributions and His Majesty trusted, but also has countless disciples. When you are in Yunnan, how can you and I imagine it? ”

"Yes, he's already a governor, and we've just passed the exam!" Tian Qiu was speechless.

Jin Wei said with a smile: "If Brother Xu's all-round talent in civil and military affairs can be called a national warrior, it can't be judged by common sense." ”

Chang Lun looked into the distance with envious eyes, and muttered to himself: "A good man, he should be a meritorious person on the battlefield, and even the horse leather shroud will die well." When will I be able to raise my troops to kill the enemy? ”

Chang Lun's popularity in Dali Temple is very bad, Jin Wei is just arrogant, and this guy is cynical. Every time he encountered an unjust case, and the murderer could not be punished because of the protection of the officials, Chang Lun would write poems and songs, pointing out that Sang scolded Huai everywhere, and had offended several bigwigs 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. himself!" Wang Xi was very enthusiastic. He belongs to the same year as Luo Jiang and Tian Qiu, and Luo Jiang and Tian Qiu are old friends of Wang Yuan, and these relationships are particularly close.

Tian Qiu looked up at the couplet: "The sound of the wind and the rain and the sound of reading, the sound is in the ears; Family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything is concerned. Good union, if Brother Xuan is only eight buckets, I am ashamed of myself! ”

Luo Jiang asked: "Why is the horizontal batch 'the unity of gas and reason'." ”

Wang Xi explained: "Because this alliance is secretly in harmony with the avenue of qili. The 'unity of qi and reason' of the physics school is the 'unity of knowledge and action' of the Wangmen Xinxue, the same concept, different names. ”

"How does this couplet contain the Great Dao of Qili?" Luo Jiang couldn't figure it out.

"That's right. The sound of wind and rain ...... "Wang Xi began to flicker again, catching all the scholars and Amway physics."

Huo Tao, the first place in this year's examination, walked to the gate of the academy at this moment. He looked up at the couplet and couldn't help but praise: "Bachelor Wang's talent and learning are really worthy of his name, and he is worthy of being a champion." ”

Walking inside, he saw a couplet again, Huo Tao clapped his hands and said: "Three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu, Bachelor Wang is so courageous!" ”

Wang Xi suddenly walked over: "Your Excellency knows physics?" ”

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

Wang Xi smiled and said, "Come with me." ”

Huo Tao followed Wang Xi to the inner courtyard, but saw a rattan basket with a huge cloth bag attached, and something in the middle seemed to be about to be lit.

"What is this?" Huo Tao asked.

Wang explained: "Hot air balloons. Although it has not been tested yet, according to the knowledge of buoyancy in physics and the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, as long as the air inside the airbag is heated and expanded, and the density is lower than the temperature outside the airbag, it can fly in the sky like a boat sailing on water! ”

Huo Tao stared, and he was confused: "???? ”

Fang Kai, a super scholar of the physics school, stood in the frame at the moment and shouted: "Ignition!" ”

Immediately, someone held an extra-long torch and ignited the fuel underneath the balloon. As the balloon gradually filled, the rattan basket also flew off the ground with the square Kai, and even flew over the city wall with the southeast wind, directly over the city of Beijing.

Huo Tao was stunned and said: "Isn't this Kong Ming Lantern?" ”

Wang Xi smiled and said: "Can Kong Ming Lantern take people to the sky? Moreover, do you know the principle of Kong Ming lantern? We in the school of physics know and have studied it clearly for a long time. ”

"I want to hear about it." Huo Tao felt very interesting, this Huiyuan was in a daze.

Fang Kai stood in the rattan basket and floated higher and higher, he took out the binoculars and looked at the ground excitedly. Occasionally reach out and adjust the flame size to control the altitude of the balloon's flight.

"Look, there are immortals flying in the day!"

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

Some people knelt and kowtowed, bowed and worshipped; Some people scrambled to chase and shout for joy.

With the direction of spring winds, the hot air balloon took off from the south of the city, just in time to float over the leopard house.

In the leopard room, the eunuchs and guards ran to tell each other, the timid knelt and kowtowed directly, and the monks who were favored by Zhu Houzhao also led the monks to chant the scriptures.

Zhu Houzhao asked, "Does the master know what this is?" ”

The monks joined together: "Amitabha, this is His Majesty and Niangniang's devotion to the Buddha, the Buddha descended to protect the Dharma and parade the imperial city, bless Concubine Zhuang to give birth to a prince early and grow up healthy." ”

Zhu Houzhao patted the monk on the shoulder: "Master, you should still recite the scriptures honestly in the future, this is a hot air balloon invented by Wang Erlang and his disciples." ”

"Uh......"

The monk choked for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Bachelor Wang really has a Buddha fate, and he can invite the Dharma Protector to come to the world!" ”

"Hahahaha!"

Zhu Houzhao laughed and stopped believing in Buddhism.

In the School of Physics, hundreds of disciples were thunderous with joy, chasing the hot air balloons in the sky and running wildly.

A hot air balloon experiment has added more than 60 students to the physics school, and many Beijing scholars who have not been admitted to Xiucai have come to apprentice.

Physics, which was thriving in the Ming Dynasty, was moving in an indelible direction.

Every student in the School of Physics will be the seed of spreading science and taking root and sprouting physics everywhere.
