"Listen up, it's a simple question." Wu Yuanming said with a smile: "May I ask Imperial Doctor Hu, how many pairs of chromosomes are in the nucleus of human cells?" ”

"Cells? Nucleus? Chromosome? Hu Gongshan was completely dumbfounded, and said in surprise: "What are these things?" From "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" or "Treatise on Typhoid Fever"? Or is it the medical book? Why haven't I heard of it? "Kangxi, Wu Ciyou, Yao Qisheng and others can be regarded as having learned the past and the present, but they have never heard of these terms, so they all look at Wu Yuanming's question?

"You don't care about the medical book, I'll just ask if you can answer this question?" Wu Yuanming asked triumphantly. Hu Gongshan groaned for a long time with a bitter face, and finally said dejectedly: "Hu Mou admits defeat and asks the prince for advice." ”

"Hmph, the medical skills are the best in the world, bullshit! Do you know what it means to sit in a well and watch the sky? Do you know what it means to learn endlessly? Do you know what it means to have a mountain outside the mountain? Wu Yuanming first taught Hu Gongshan a hard lesson, and then said in a big way: "Let me tell you, there are twenty-three pairs of chromosomes in human cells, of which twenty-two pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes are essential material genes for heredity. As for what is a cell and nucleus ....... Wu Yuanming didn't know what the ink in his stomach was and what the cell nucleus was, but Wu Yuanming had a way, and said: "This question is very complicated, and it is not clear for a while, so you have the opportunity to go to England and ask Newton (Note 1) of their National Royal Academy of Sciences for advice." ”

"Shizi, it doesn't matter how complicated it is, we have time, please explain it to us." Wu Ciyou found that Wu Yuanming was a little slurred when he spoke, and guessed that Wu Yuanming didn't know what cells and nuclei were, in order to combat Wu Yuanming's arrogance, Wu Ciyou immediately asked. Who knew that Kangxi next to him was taken aback by Wu Yuanming's words, and said: "Wu Shizi actually knows the Newton bachelor in England?" ”

"Oops, did Newton discover the cell?" Wu Yuanming secretly screamed in his heart, and could only answer vaguely: "Of course I know that his attainments in calculus have always been something I admire. ”

"The son of the world really learned from China and the West." Kangxi said with a gloomy face: "The "Differential Calculus" and "Integral Science" written by the Newton master, I ...... I've read it too, and it's so subtle that I didn't expect him to be so profound in medicine. Kangxi explained to the puzzled Wu Ciyou, Hu Gongshan and others: "I once heard the Western priest Nan Huairen say that in recent years, there has been a peerless genius in England in Europa, that is, the Newton academician mentioned by Wu Shizi, who is proficient in physics, astronomy, mathematics, alchemy and natural theory. (Note 2)

"And the law of gravitation, which is also the latest discovery of Newton's study from the apple falling to the ground." Wu Yuanming saw that Kangxi actually knew Newton, and took the opportunity to show off. Kangxi groaned: "The law of gravitation? I haven't heard of this either, so I'll have to ask Nan Huairen again another day. What Kangxi and Wu Yuanming's fools didn't know was that in 166 AD, Newton had not yet begun to study the law of gravitation, and Nan Huairen, who was later consulted by Kangxi, naturally did not know this scientific term, in order to satisfy Kangxi's curiosity, Nan Huairen also entrusted a Western merchant ship to bring a letter to Newton to inquire, resulting in Newton, who was thousands of miles away, also knew that there was a Wu Yingxiong in the East who studied physics. Later, all kinds of conditions came together, in order to ask Wu Yuanming about scientific problems, Newton also boarded a merchant ship bound for China, and by the way, he also kidnapped Wu Yuanming the world's first steam engine inventor that could be put into practical use, which is not mentioned later.

At this point, Kangxi testified to Wu Yuanming, and Wu Ciyou and Hu Gongshan would still be bored with themselves - they challenged Wu Yuanming, who was 'knowledgeable and knowledgeable', and sat back or stood back in his original position, and didn't dare to say a word more. Shi Lang took the opportunity to invite Wu Yuanming, Yao Qisheng and Huangfu Baozhu to sit down at the wine table and ordered his subordinates to hold a banquet. The young Shi Shilun looked at the proud Wu Yuanming with adoring eyes, full of respect for Wu Yuanming.

Because of the presence of Wu Yuanming, an uninvited villain, the atmosphere in the banquet was unusually dull, Kangxi wanted to dig Wu Yuanming's corner because the victim was present and couldn't speak, Wu Yuanming didn't say much if he wanted to finish eating early and leave, everyone's expressions can be imagined. It's just that both sides didn't dare to offend Shi Lang, who was the master, kept toasting on both sides, constantly talking and haha, trying to keep the atmosphere from being too embarrassing, but Wu Yuanming and Kangxi were expressionless, which made Shi Lang embarrassed.

After several rounds of drinking, when he saw that the banquet was about to end, Kangxi, who refused to give up his talent to Wu Sangui, finally couldn't help but speak: "Mr. Yao, just now I heard General Shi's son recite Mr.'s poems, and the warship is full of heroism, which shows that Mr. has a martial mind; He also served as a governor, and Wen Tao said it needless to say. Since the gentleman is so versatile, how can he choose to live in the home of an idle minister? Isn't it a pearl secret investment? ”

Kangxi deliberately said the words 'idle minister' very seriously, implying that Yao Qisheng would not have any future with Wu Yuanming, so that Wu Yuanming was not only angry, but also unable to find a reason to refute - Wu Yuanming can't say in front of Kangxi that he is ready to follow his father to rebel and become the emperor, and he is ready to let Yao Qisheng be his prime minister, right?

"Young Master Long is reasonable, since ancient times, he learned martial arts, that is, he wanted to sell it to the emperor's family." Wu Ciyou saw Wu Yuanming's deflated heart secretly happy, and he also fanned the flames and said: "Yao Gong has a student like Jinghai Hou, as long as you ask Hou Ye to give Yao Gong a guarantee performance, are you afraid that Yao Gong will not be reactivated today?" Even if Yao Gong wants to return to the position of governor, seal the frontier again, or go to the study to pay respects to the prime minister, it is not hopeless. ”

"Damn, Wu Han traitor is really ruthless enough to dig up the corner." Wu Yuanming was in a hurry, he remembered that Kangxi used the trick of returning to the governor to entrap Yao Qisheng, and Yao Qisheng was cynical and hid in the mountains on the surface, but in fact, he was extremely unwilling to spend his life in obscurity. Wu Yuanming hurriedly said: "My father-in-law doesn't have to worry about Mr. Long and Mr. Zhong, the first emperor Shunzhi once issued a holy decree, and my father-in-law's official position can only be lowered throughout his life, not promoted!" Isn't letting General Shi protect my father-in-law is just letting General Shi resist the decree? ”

"The prince doesn't have to worry." Shi Lang had already received Kangxi's guidance, and quickly pretended to be a good student, "As long as it is for the sake of the teacher, even if Shi Lang loses his official position and resigns, he must try his best to ensure the teacher's comeback, so that the teacher can live up to what he has learned in his life." Moreover, when today's young people are smart, they will definitely recognize talents and use teachers again. ”

"Forget it." Wu Yuanming seemed to be very filial and said: "My father-in-law is old, so let him enjoy Qingfu in my house, and let me do my filial piety, so I don't have to worry about General Shi." ”

"Jiang Ziya is seventy ministers, Lian Po is also seventy years old to lead the army, Yao Gong is only fifty and three, how old can you talk about?" Wu Ciyou saw the stitches and said: "According to Zhong, no one will say anything about Mr. Yao's comeback, and no one can make the decision for Mr. Yao, so it is better to ask Mr. Yao to decide by himself." Saying that, Wu Ciyou turned to Yao Qisheng and asked, "Mr. Yao, I don't know what Mr. Yao thinks about your comeback?" ”

Wu Yuanming really didn't want to let go of a talent like Yao Qisheng, but Wu Yuanming also knew that this matter had to be decided by Yao Qisheng himself, and in desperation, Wu Yuanming had no choice but to turn his gaze to Yao Qisheng, who had been afraid to face it just now, and prayed in his heart that this old guy would not be tempted by fame and fortune. And Yao Qisheng, like other people in the city, was still silent in the face of this question that related to his position and even life and death, and just slowly tasted the Yuquanchun that Shi Lang entertained him, without saying a word.

"Mr. Yao, let me ask again, are you willing to go out of the mountain? Returning to the Imperial Court? Kangxi's eyes were sharp, staring closely at Yao Qisheng's eyes. Although Kangxi used a pseudonym just now, he sat at the head of Shi Lang and Wu Yuanming at a young age, which is equivalent to indirectly telling others that he is the emperor, with Yao Qisheng's mind, how can he not guess it?

"Father-in-law, you're old, don't go out and work hard anymore." Wu Yuanming's heart rose to his throat, for fear that Yao Qisheng would be poached by Kangxi. And Yao Qisheng still took the glass of wine and tasted it slowly, as if the glass of wine could never be drunk......

…… Let's watch the History and Military Channel of Literature Network, more exciting content is waiting for you! ……

After a long time, Yao Qisheng finally put down the wine glass and said lightly with an expressionless face: "It's okay to return to the imperial court." ”

"Father-in-law——! Wu Yuanming screamed like a pig, Huangfu Baozhu's face was like frost, and Kangxi, Wu Ciyou, Su Malagu and Shi Lang and others smiled happily and glanced at each other proudly. But Yao Qisheng suddenly said again: "Wait, Master Hou, Master Long, there is still one condition for being called Huazi." ”

"Father-in-law......." Wu Yuanming, who was already desperate, gave birth to a glimmer of hope, and Kangxi smiled and said, "What conditions does Mr. Yao have?" Despite mentioning, I ...... I will definitely ask the emperor to agree. Shi Lang also patted his chest and said: "Teacher, don't worry, what conditions do you want, please just tell the students, and the students will definitely listen to the heavens." When today's son is thirsty for talent, he will definitely agree to any conditions of the teacher. ”

"Master Hou, don't agree too early, I'm afraid you won't dare to agree to this condition." Yao Qisheng was still expressionless, and said lightly: "Huazi has either lived by the sea in Fujian over the years, or has lived in the ice and snow of Mohe, and these places are tired of living, so Huazi always wants to be a governor in the mountains of Sichuan." Other than that, Hanako, who is always called, has no interest in any position. ”

"Teacher, do you want to be the governor of Sichuan? This...... This....... Shi Lang didn't dare to speak. For the Qing court, the location of Sichuan in the land of abundance was too important, both next to Wu Sangui's Yungui and between Wu Sangui and the similarly ill-intentioned governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. Let Yao Qisheng be the feudal official of Sichuan, if Yao Qisheng is loyal to the imperial court, then he can contain Wu Sangui for the imperial court, and it can also play a role in cutting off the connection between Wu Sangui and ***; But if Yao Qisheng fell to Wu Sangui with ill intentions, then Wu Sangui, who lacked a grain-producing area, would immediately be able to obtain the grain-producing area of the Sichuan Basin, like a tiger with wings, and connect with ***, and the southwest region would immediately change hands, such a consequence would be absolutely unbearable for the Qing court.

"The righteous father has a point." Wu Yuanming jumped three feet high, rubbed his hands and smiled: "Yes, Sichuan is indeed a good place, not to mention the fine wine Wuliangye and Luzhou Laojiao, which is the hot pot in Chongqing, it is coveted." Pretending to smile on his face, Wu Yuanming's heart is still in his throat, because Wu Yuanming knows very well that Yao Qisheng is testing Kangxi's trust and sincerity in him, if Kangxi really has the courage to agree to Yao Qisheng's conditions, then Yao Qisheng will definitely follow Kangxi with all his heart, and create countless troubles for his father Wu Sangui in Sichuan, and when his father rebels in the future, Sichuan will definitely be a super trouble.

"Haha, Mr. Yao is testing the court's determination to enable Mr." Kangxi also knew very well that Yao Qisheng was testing his courage, but as I said earlier, Sichuan was too important to the Qing court, and letting Kangxi put Yao Qisheng in that dangerous and important place was actually a gamble, gambling on the territory of the southwest region, no matter how bold Kangxi was, he would hesitate. For a while, there was silence in the hall of Shi Lang's house, only the slight sound of Wu Yuanming pouring wine for Yao Qisheng remained.

"Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people!" After a long time, Kangxi gritted his teeth in his heart and made a decision, and just raised his head when he was about to agree to Yao Qisheng's conditions. Wu Ciyou suddenly said, "Young Master Long, can you take a step to speak?" Kangxi was stunned, knowing that Wu Ciyou must have something to say to himself, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Yao will do it for a while, and Long will come when he goes." Yao Qisheng smiled and waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Please." ”

After a while, Wu Ciyou and Kangxi came to the back hall of Shi Lang's house, and Wu Ciyou asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you want to agree to Yao Qisheng's conditions?" Kangxi nodded and said in a low voice: "Yes, there is no doubt about employing people, I decided to follow the example of the ancients, and use this talented Yao Qisheng, so that all the talented people in the world can see my determination to seek talent." ”

"Your Majesty, you can use anyone's golden bones, but this Yao Qisheng must not use it." Wu Ciyou said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't forget, it was this Yao Qisheng, who was the governor of Fujian, who secretly funded the anti-thief Zheng Chenggong, so that Zheng Cheng could seize Taiwan, so that the Qianming lineage continues in Taiwan to this day." What if Yao Qisheng did the trick and sent Sichuan to Wu Sangui, who was also a Han ......? ”

"It's ......." was instigated by Wu Ciyou like this, Kangxi's determination began to waver again, and Wu Ciyou hit the railway while it was hot: "Your Majesty, although there is no doubt about employing people, there is still a sentence that doubts are not needed." This Yao Qisheng, as Wu Yingxiong's father-in-law, is about to be an important Sichuan feudal official, is such a person not a suspect? And what is it? ”

After another moment, Kangxi and Wu Ciyou returned to the front hall, unlike just now, the excited and determined look on Kangxi's face had disappeared, and he said lightly to Yao Qisheng: "The conditions proposed by Mr. Yao are too difficult for people to agree, and Long can't agree, I'm sorry." ”

"It's okay." Yao Qisheng shrugged his shoulders, drank all the wine in his hand, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, Huazi still has a filial son, and he can't be the governor of Sichuan, so he will rely on his son to support him in the future." Wu Yuanming smiled so much that he couldn't close his mouth, took Yao Qisheng Canglong's thin hand and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, the child will definitely 'honor' you in the future." ”

"Mr. Yao, take care and take your leave." Kangxi threw down a sentence with a gloomy face, raised his legs and walked out, Wu Ciyou smiled at Wu Yuanming and Yao Qisheng, the first to follow Kangxi's footsteps, and Su Malagu and Hu Gongshan followed closely. Seeing that this turmoil was about to end, but when Hu Gongshan passed by the left side of Huangfu Baozhu, his right hand suddenly shot out silently, patting the left rib of Huangfu Baozhu, Huangfu Baozhu was also prepared, and transported the iron cloth shirt in time to parry, but what Huangfu Baozhu didn't expect was that Hu Gongshan's seemingly silent palm slapped on his body, but the palm force penetrated Huangfu Baozhu's skin that even swords and guns could not hurt, and directly hit the inside of Huangfu Baozhu's body.

"Hmph, Golden Bell Jar Iron Bush Fir, but that's it." Hu Gongshan succeeded in the sneak attack, and he had already tried the martial arts of the emperor's Baozhu, and was about to go out with a sneer. Wu Yuanming, who was already thunderous, suddenly shouted, "Stop!" While speaking, Wu Yuanming took out a hidden Russian musket from his waist with his backhand, ready to avenge the Huangfu Baozhu, but before Wu Yuanming picked up the candle on the table and lit the fuse, Hu Gongshan had already volleyed in the air, Wu Yuanming only felt that his chest and shoulders seemed to be hit by a heavy object, and the person suddenly fell on his head, and the musket flew out of his hand.

"The surname is Wu, last time you tricked my junior sister into undressing in front of you, I haven't avenged this revenge yet." Hu Gongshan stared at Wu Yuanming and sneered. For various reasons, Hu Gongshan's hatred for Wu Yuanming is not much shallower than Wu Ciyou's, just now Kangxi didn't speak, Hu Gongshan didn't dare to take revenge on Wu Yuanming, and now that the negotiations between Kangxi and Yao Qisheng broke down, he was angry with Wu Yuanming, and Hu Gongshan wanted to take the opportunity to poison Wu Yuanming.

"Let's go." In front, Kangxi and Wu Ciyou glanced at each other, and they all raised their legs and walked out, giving Hu Gongshan a chance to take revenge on Wu Yuanming. But before they took three steps, a thin figure suddenly walked at the gate of Shi Lang's house, and before Kangxi and the others could see the man's appearance clearly, the man shouted loudly: "The surname is Hu, you receive 7,000 taels of silver from the prince a year, is this how you repay the prince's son?" ”
