"This is the Mirror of the Sky?"

On the night of Yuan Xi, the bright moon was hanging high, and on the stargazing platform, Li Shimin looked at the strange cylindrical object facing the sky in front of him, and was amazed, accompanied by a group of officials from Qin Tianjian such as Morton and Yuan Tiangang beside him.

The full moon hangs high in the sky, the bright moonlight is sprinkled in Chang'an City, and the lights of Suzaku Street reflect each other, tonight is the night of the New Year's Eve, ordinary citizens are on Suzaku Street, enjoy the lanterns and play, but Merton can only force the cold wind to blow on the stargazing platform.

Originally, today he was going to ask Princess Changle to enjoy the lanterns, but Princess Changle refused on the grounds that it was not suitable to meet before marriage.

"Back to Your Majesty, this thing is used to peep into the starry sky, it will be hundreds of times stronger than the human eye, and the stars in the world are as close as they are in front of you. Yuan Tiangang looked at the astronomical telescope in front of him with a look of amazement.

Merton couldn't help pouting, what kind of hidden star, in his opinion, was just unobservable with the naked eye before, and it was only discovered with a telescope.

"It's so amazing?" Li Shimin was eager to try.

"Your Majesty, please see, this is the faint star that is about to disappear, it is no longer visible to the naked eye at this moment, and it can only be observed for a moment with the realm of peeping into the sky, this is the Taibai star......" Yuan Tiangang adjusted his angle and motioned for Li Shimin to watch.

The evening star is the closest Mercury to the sun, and it will only appear in the early morning and dusk, and it is invisible to the naked eye at ordinary times.

"It's so amazing?" Li Shimin exclaimed.

Even Merton had to admire the Taoists for their uniqueness in astronomy, and even discovered Saturn's ring belt and several moons of Jupiter, which were all astronomical phenomena that had never been discovered by their ancestors.

"Thanks to the help of the Mo family!" Yuan Tiangang thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

"Daoist Yuan is polite, if there is no Daoist Daoist and his celestial phenomena, even if it is a magical thing, we will be confused!" Merton said modestly.

This is when the Taoist shows his face, and Morton will naturally not be uninterested in stealing the limelight of the Taoist.

Yuan Tiangang glanced at Merton with satisfaction, and said regretfully: "Today is the first day of the year, the stars in the sky are scarce, if the moon sets, the stars appear, it is a good time to observe the celestial phenomena." ”

Li Shimin laughed, looked at the bright moon and said in his heart: "Although the stars are hidden, but the bright moon is high, since ancient times, the saying of Chang'e running to the moon has been widely spread, and I also yearn for a long time." Today, I want to peek into the realm of heaven and see how majestic the so-called heavenly palace is. ”

Yuan Tiangang and Morton glanced at each other, and suddenly looked bitter, the moon is the easiest celestial body to observe, how can Taoists miss it, but when Yuan Tiangang used the astronomical telescope to look at it for the first time, he understood Merton's intentions.

They blamed Merton for using hot air balloons to make the Taoist immortal system suffer heavy losses, but Merton handed over the astronomical telescope to the Taoist, and the Taoist observed the true face of the Taoist for the first time, and immediately understood Merton's intention, if the Taoist wants to study the celestial phenomena, the astronomical telescope comes out, I am afraid that the myth of the Moon Palace will be called a bubble, unless the Taoist abandons it.

However, curiosity kills cats, since ancient times, countless ancestors of Taoism have infinite imagination about the starry sky, and now there is an opportunity to find out, and who can bear it.

There are gains and losses, and Taoists used this to create the first strange book of Taoism, but it is destined to disclose the truth of the moon.

When Yuan Tiangang decided to dedicate the push back picture, he knew that there would be today, and said helplessly: "Please also ask Your Majesty to be mentally prepared, sometimes the real scene is not as beautiful as we imagined!" ”

Merton on the side nodded solemnly.

Li Shimin looked at Morton and Yuan Tiangang who were playing dumb riddles puzzled, snorted coldly, looked down at the telescope, and as the telescope advanced, suddenly a bright and round bright moon slowly turned into a devastated sphere.

"Is this really the moon?" Li Shimin exclaimed, he raised his head in disbelief, looked at the full moon that was still bright and beautiful with his naked eyes, and looked down at the devastation in the astronomical telescope, unable to accept this reality for a long time.

If a peerless beauty who looks at it from afar, everyone is in love, once you walk in and find that the other party's face is pockmarked like a child, the real moon completely destroys Li Shimin's previous fantasy of the Moon Palace, not to mention the oral tradition of the Moon Palace, the magical laurel tree, and the poignant Chang'e running to the moon, at this moment, the fantasy in my heart is cracked, only the most real moon.

Merton nodded solemnly and said, "This is the real moon, there is no majestic heavenly palace, and there is no fairy Chang'e, only potholes that have been hit." ”

"How do you know that these craters were struck?" Li Shimin asked, still unable to believe this fact.

Merton suddenly said with confidence: "The strength of the Mo family is to study the strength, this is a round pit formed by the force of impact, if Your Majesty does not believe that you can hit the mud with a stone, you will get exactly the same round pit." ”

"Huh!" Li Shimin suddenly stammered, and Murton used an easy-to-understand mud as an example, so that he could instantly understand the principle, after all, who had never had such an experience when he was a child.

Li Shimin watched it a few more times, and then he had to accept this fact, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Everyone in the world loves to use the moon as a metaphor for beautiful women, and he is against poetry, if he sees the true face of the moon, I am afraid that there will be no more poems about the moon in the world." ”

Merton couldn't help but look embarrassed, if he let the countless beautiful Yongyue poems in later generations disappear because of this, then his sin may be great.

"This is the minister's fault!" Merton happily admitted his mistake and said, "But if you let the minister choose once, the minister will still do so, compared to a beautiful lie, Weichen is more willing to understand the real side, and it is the unremitting pursuit of the Mo family to keep the truth from the false." ”

"The same is true of Taoism?"

Yuan Tiangang on the side couldn't help but nodded, as soon as the astronomical telescope came out, the most damaged was the Taoist, the Taoist immortal system was hit hard again, if they chose to conceal the astronomical telescope, Merton would naturally take the initiative to cooperate, but the Taoist decided to take the initiative to break the myth of the moon, this courage is indeed admirable.

Li Shimin couldn't help but think about it, as an emperor, he didn't know that no matter how beautiful a lie was, it couldn't compare to the precious competition. It's just that as he gets older, the dream of immortality that gradually grows in his heart is pierced by the Mo family one after another, which makes him feel quite uncomfortable.

Merton naturally sensed this, and gently stepped forward to turn the telescope and pointed at the noisy Suzaku Street in the distance: "Compared to the illusory Heavenly Palace, the minister thinks that this lively world is superior. ”

The stargazing platform is the building in the imperial palace, second only to the Taiji Palace, standing on the stargazing platform, you can see the brilliant lights of Suzaku Street, but as the camera advances, the traffic on Suzaku Street seems to be close in front of you.

Ladies, lanterns, dragons, and jugglers all use binoculars to make them seem to be close at hand.

"This is a fairyland on earth!" Li Shimin sighed.
