After a while, I saw a middle-aged man with a resolute face walking in quickly, and then saluted Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Long live the Qin Heavenly Prison Supervisor Yuan Xing to meet my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"Eunuch Yuan doesn't have to be polite, he summoned you here to ask if you ever knew about Hun Tian's words?" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately asked.

I saw that when Yuan Jian Zheng heard the three words "Hun Tian Said", his brows were slightly wrinkled, and then he spoke: "Your Majesty, Hun Tian said that it first originated from the Warring States Period, and was carried forward by Zhang Heng of the Han Dynasty, they think that Hun Tian is like a chicken, the celestial body is round like a projectile, and the earth is like a chicken in the yellow, but the minister feels that this statement is completely nonsense, the earth is as clear as a chessboard, the sky is like a pot lid, and the sun, moon and stars walk on it!" ”

Li Jie next to him couldn't cry or laugh when he heard Yuan Jianzheng's words, but he didn't expect this Yuan Jianzheng to be a supporter of Gai Tianshuo, and it was really a bit troublesome now.

Although the Hun Tian theory appeared very early in history, and it has also been recognized by many people, such as Zhang Heng is one of the representative figures, but the Gai Tian theory has not disappeared, but the two doctrines are arguing, each with a group of supporters, and the Yuan Jian Zheng in front of him is obviously more supportive of the latter.

"The earth is like a chessboard? I think I've heard of this too, but do you know it? Zhu Yuanzhang said, pointing to the globe on the table, and asked again.

Yuan Jian Zheng immediately took a few steps forward, looked at the globe carefully, and then his face changed: "Your Majesty, this is a pseudo made by the Heavenly Theory, the real earth is definitely not a sphere, otherwise how should the people under the ball stand?" ”

Li Jie also looked at Zhu Biao next to him when he heard this, this Yuan Jian Zheng was almost exactly the same as the question he asked just now.

"Li Jie, you come and answer him!" Zhu Yuanzhang also smiled when he heard this, and then let Li Jie step forward.

Li Jie had no choice but to step forward and pick up the globe, and then repeat the explanation just now.

However, what people didn't expect was that Yuan Jian Zheng sneered after hearing this: "Ridiculous! People are not dust, how can they be generalized, and the Hun Tian theory has long been falsified, it is not enough to believe it at all, and now you are offering this fake thing to Your Majesty, it is simply a fallacy! ”

Originally, this Yuan Jian was stubborn, but he actually buttoned his hat for no reason, which made Li Jie angry all of a sudden, and immediately sneered: "I think you are the evil rumor, and the sky is ridiculous, if the earth is like a chessboard, wouldn't people fall down when they go to the edge of the earth?" ”

"The erector is arrogant, this official is the supervisor of Qintian, and he has studied astronomy and geography for decades, how can you question it at a young age!" Yuan Jian immediately sneered again, originally he didn't dare to be so presumptuous in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, but now it involves academic disputes, and even this has shaken the foundation of their Qin Tianjian, so of course he can't back down half a point.

"Ambition is not old, some people take the wrong path from the beginning, even if they study hard for decades, I am afraid they will only go all the way wrong!" Li Jie also retorted unceremoniously.

"Good, good! What a sharp tooth and sharp mouth, then let me ask you, you said that the earth is like a ball, is there a way to prove it? Yuan Jian Zheng suddenly calmed down, and immediately asked a very fatal question, if Li Jie could not prove that the earth was like a ball, then he could participate in the other party's crime of bullying the king.

Looking at the argument between Li Jie and Yuan Jianzheng, Zhu Yuanzhang above was half-squinted, and he didn't seem to plan to intervene, while Zhu Biao was worried, especially when he heard that Yuan Jianzheng asked Li Jie to prove that the earth was like a ball, he was even more shocked, because he knew that there was no way to prove this question, and Li Jie couldn't answer.

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao was also about to speak out to relieve Li Jie, after all, he was from his Zhan Mansion, and he brought him to see his father, so of course he couldn't let Li Jie suffer.

However, before Zhu Biao could speak, he saw Li Jie step forward again and stare at Yuan Jian Zhengdao: "Isn't it just to prove that the earth is like a ball, what if I can prove it?" ”

"Li Jie, don't talk nonsense!" Zhu Biao was also shocked when he heard this, and even felt that Li Jie was too impulsive, and even took the initiative to jump into the trap set by Yuan Jianzheng.

"Hahahaha~, the young man doesn't know the height of the sky, and he actually speaks wildly, do you know that you have committed the crime of defrauding the king!" Yuan Jianzheng laughed out loud when he heard Li Jie's words, he didn't believe that Li Jian proved that the earth was like a ball, he just thought that Li Jie was too young and was bragging and lying for the sake of face.

"Your Highness is in a hurry, the minister dares to say so, naturally he has his own certainty!" Li Jie knew that Zhu Biao was good for himself, and he smiled gratefully at the moment.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had not spoken, finally stood up and said with a smile: "Very good, since neither of you two is convinced by anyone, why don't you make a bet?" ”

"The minister is willing!" Li Jie and Yuan Jianzheng agreed almost at the same time.

"Since it's a bet, of course, you have to set up a lottery, I will be the middleman, you all talk about it, what if you lose?" Zhu Yuanzhang said again with a smile, he was very fond of gambling when he was young, but unfortunately when he became an emperor, no one dared to gamble with him anymore.

"If the minister loses, the minister is willing to give up the position of Qintian Supervisor to the other party!" Yuan Jian Zheng took the lead, he didn't believe that Li Jie would win at all, so he simply gambled on his official position, of course, if Li Jie really won, he wouldn't have the face to do this prison again.

"Nonsense, everything in the selection of officials in the imperial court is up to me, how can I use it as a bet!" However, Lao Zhu Wenyan said with a cold face, he is very sensitive to power, and he grasps the power of military and personnel affairs, and does not allow anyone to touch it.

"The minister lost his words, please forgive your majesty!" Yuan Jianzheng also came to his senses, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately knelt down to apologize, he was too impulsive just now.

"Okay, if you're a first-time offender, I won't care!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and then said again, "Since the two of you are an academic dispute, as the so-called achiever comes first, let's just do this, whoever loses, worship the other party as a teacher!" ”

"Your Majesty......" Yuan Jian was aggrieved when he heard this, because with his age and qualifications, even if Li Jie lost and worshipped him as a teacher, it would not be a shame, but if it was the other way around, he would worship Li Jie as a teacher, then it would be a shame.

However, as soon as Yuan Jian Zheng spoke, he saw Lao Zhu's stern eyes, which made him swallow back the words immediately.

In contrast, Li Jie had a calm face, not that he felt that he had taken advantage, but that he believed that he would not lose.

"Okay, Li Jie, how do you prove that the earth is like a ball?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked Li Jie again at the moment.
