Chapter Eighty-Four: The Use of Science Fiction in Historical Fiction

PS: Thank you for the fascination, the dream chasing the sunset, a few meters of sunshine, the bad man 000, I am a reward for my lover, thank you in advance for the reward that keeps rising every day.

This is the PS of the grateful tears

Kang Ning was actually very reluctant to get involved, and as far as he could tell him, even if he went back to explain to Wang Sen, he could open a new door for the old man to understand the world.

But the cooperation with Fuwang Zhu Changxun is too tempting. Not only the power he symbolizes, but also his understanding of the "profession" of the traverser.

Although in front of such a master, Kang Ning is likely to reveal his identity as a traverser, but Zhu Changxun's exclamation is clearly telling him that we are peers.

Since Zhu Changxun is not worried about his identity being revealed, it means that the two are more likely to be friends than enemies, so what does he have to worry about.

So the two immediately went to the palace and asked to see the old emperor of Wanli.

Mingmu is naturally very easy to think, that is, to negotiate business cooperation.

Kang Ning knew that there were a lot of White Lotus Sect eyeliners in the capital, so he asked His Royal Highness King Fu for a eunuch's costume to avoid the hidden dangers brought by being discovered to the greatest extent.

However, he sat in the sedan chair of His Royal Highness King Fu all the way, and he blessed Wang Dahua and others in advance to reduce their actions, so he did not attract the attention of eyeliners along the way.

After entering the palace, after not waiting for long, Zhu Changxun, the emperor's favorite son, was received by the old emperor.

When Kang Ning followed Zhu Changxun to see the emperor, another benevolent brother next to him immediately attracted his attention.

That person has a temperament that is very different from that of people of this era. Although he was dressed in a Taoist robe, he looked no different from the Taoist priests in the late Ming Dynasty, but Kang Ning still felt it. He has the temperament of a modern man in later generations.

Different from the relatively restrained personality expression of this era, people in later generations always have a kind of unrestrained teeth and claws. Before the crossing, Corning couldn't see this, but after the end of the Ming Dynasty, the problem was immediately discovered in comparison.

This person should not be the traverser standing behind the emperor. Qin Ming.

Sure enough, I heard Zhu Changxun say: "It turns out that Daoist Qin is also here." ”

"Lord Wang." Qin Ming bowed to Zhu Changxun, but accidentally discovered the green toad ring on Kang Ning's hand.

As the founder of the Husband's Bureau, how could he not know this thing.

But now this situation. He couldn't confirm why Kang Ning was with Fu Wang Zhu Changxun, let alone ask about it in front of Zhu Changxun, who didn't know the identity of Kang Ning's secret agent.

Therefore, he had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart and continue the topic he had with the old emperor just now.

Weichen thinks that as long as you check it out. It will soon be known who designed this bitter ploy in an effort to stabilize the position of the crown prince. As long as they are cut clean, they can give the Ming Dynasty another future. ”

As he spoke, he involuntarily glanced at Zhu Changxun with his eyes.

But what Zhu Changxun did next was obviously going to disappoint him.

"Erchen thinks it's better not to investigate at this time."

Emperor Wanli was stunned and asked suspiciously: "My son, you don't know who I and Daoist Qin have worked hard for, right?" ”

Zhu Changxun replied: "Of course Erchen knows, and he is grateful. But the Father. Erchen had something he wanted to discuss with Daoist Qin. Before this matter was discussed and understood, Erchen felt that it would be better to postpone this matter for a while. ”

"I can't wait." Emperor Wanli was obviously a little unhappy, "Now he has opened his bow and arrows, and he is ready to go." There's no reason to stop. ”

Zhu Changxun just said lightly: "Then let's discuss it now." I just don't have to report to my father afterwards. ”

The old emperor nodded in agreement, and then the eunuchs gave them two seats. Kangning, who seemed to have nothing to do with the discussion, was also invited by the eunuch to sit down.

Zhu Changxun opened his mouth and said, "I don't know if Daoist Qin still remembers that Xiao Wang once borrowed the books you brought from your hometown. ”

Kang Ning glanced at Qin Ming and felt that he had more of a soldier's temperament, for this kind of temperament. Corning, who had served in the army, was very familiar. He didn't expect this veteran to travel with a few books.

"Yes." Qin Ming quickly gave an answer, but he didn't understand why Zhu Changxun asked about a few books, so he said suspiciously, "But that's just basic science fiction." I told the prince. Nothing in there exists. ”

"Nothing exists, but truth is not." Zhu Changxun quickly answered his doubts, "Do you remember the Dark Forest?" ”

Qin Ming is not a science fiction fan, and those books were originally bought for his son. He only occasionally flipped through it when he was bored, after all, there wasn't much left to remind him of that hometown four hundred years later.

However, Corning is very familiar with this name, and he even almost blurted out a question: "Is it the second part of "The Three-Body Problem"?" ”

Thankfully, he kept his mouth shut. Otherwise, the efforts of the eye to be the identity of the traverser will be wasted. Although he can no longer guarantee that Zhu Changxun's insight has not seen through his identity.

Qin Ming thought for a while before finally nodding and replied, "Remember a little." ”

Zhu Changxun was a little dissatisfied with his cynical character, so he said seriously: "I am very interested in the technological explosion and chain of suspicion mentioned in it. Have you ever thought that this is also a perfect way to express the survival of the traverser. ”

Qin Ming and Kang Ning were stunned. Even if Corning had read the book and had a relatively full understanding of it, it would be difficult to apply it to the ecological environment of the traveler for a while.

Qin Ming hadn't even recalled a lot of the contents of that book, and he was even more confused at the moment.

Zhu Changxun had no choice but to explain: "The technological explosion is used in today's Ming Dynasty, which is the technological explosion brought by the traverser. In the words of Qin Daochang, what is it called climbing the science and technology tree. ”

Kang Ning glanced at Zhu Changxun in wonder, why between his words, he was actually hiding his identity as a traverser. Could it be that Qin Ming didn't know that the person he was bent on supporting the throne was his peer.

Nima's relationship is getting more and more complicated.

Qin Ming nodded and said, "Yes, it's called climbing the science and technology tree." Most of them use technologies that are not available or mature to accumulate wealth for themselves. ”

Zhu Changxun continued: "That's the case. Those who are incapable have limited influence on the Ming Dynasty. Let's leave it at that. And these people who brought about the explosion of technology, will certainly seek to continue to develop. ”

"That's right. And then what? ”

"The problem is that he's not just a traverser in development. I am afraid that the number of traversers with certain abilities is very large. Otherwise, Daoist Qin would not have found out about the Taoist priest surnamed Sun. ”

"I see." Qin Ming seemed to finally remember something, he took over the conversation and said. "The next thing you're going to talk about is the chain of suspicion. As long as they continue to develop, it is impossible to avoid encountering other traversers. After all, the world is so big. And when you meet other traversers, you have to communicate. As long as there is communication, there is trust and distrust. ”

"This is not very prominent in ordinary people's communication." Zhu Changxun knew that Qin Ming's train of thought had entered his predetermined track, so he continued, "But the communication between the traversers is different. Maybe it's because they're fellow villagers. There will be emotional bonds. However, due to the status, money, women, and technology brought about by the technological explosion, they will inevitably become the objects of coveting each other. This makes it more difficult for them to work together. ”

Qin Ming nodded, indicating that he had figured this out.

"Those who have aspirations will seek a way forward. But the road to the top of the pyramid will get narrower and narrower. Contradictions are inevitable. ”

"That's true, but that's not what I'm trying to say." Zhu Changxun's words immediately aroused the curiosity of the other three people present, "It is precisely because the occurrence of contradictions is inevitable, so as long as the traverser who understands this." will do it to other traversers who are just starting to develop. This is the Dark Forest hypothesis. ”

Corning got a little bit of a thing. He still probably remembered the parable in the original book. If an ignorant kid lights a torch and is ecstatic to announce it to the whole forest, he will not only not be able to scare away the beast, but will be attacked by other adults.

Even if Qin Ming didn't remember that metaphor at all, but the words had already come to this point, it was impossible for him not to understand it.

"I see. If Your Majesty and we push you to the throne, we will undoubtedly expose ourselves in front of many traversers. When the time comes, the disaster of killing will not be far away. ”

"It's not all." Emperor Wanli had also spoken at this time, "The reason why we set up the Fucha Bureau. It's not for them to hit us. Rather, it is to hit them. Qin Daochang had the support of imperial power. It is already possible to strangle disobedient traversers. ”

"But we can't expose ourselves on our own initiative. Otherwise, it will cause them to be vigilant. Zhu Changxun added along with Wanli's meaning, "Although the change of history is inevitable, for us who have the advantage of power. Quietly waiting for the rabbit is the best choice. ”

Emperor Wanli finally understood his son's heart.

"So. You don't approve of me tracking down the masterminds. Instead, they hope to make this matter a headless mystery as described in the history books four hundred years later. ”

"Father is wise." After Zhu Changxun praised it, he continued to add, "So, the minister asks for it as soon as possible, as Daoist Qin said, just like he said." ”

The old emperor and Qin Ming glanced at each other. There was still some hesitation in their eyes. However, that was nothing more than hesitation.

"Then do as you wish." The old emperor finally made the decision.

Corning was also very happy when he heard this. Because of this decision, it gives all the traversers who want to make a fortune in silence a chance to continue to develop.

According to Kang Ning's thoughts, Zhu Changxun came to talk about this big pile today, just to want an opportunity to make a fortune in a muffled voice.

Sure enough, I heard him start to lay out his own plan to make a fortune. "There's going to ask my father for some belongings, and there's the cooperation between my son and Gongzi Kang, I wonder if my father is interested in participating?"

Kang Ning looked at Zhu Changxun's eyes with some surprise. Unexpectedly, this colleague could not only move the things of science fiction into historical novels, but also drag the emperor into his commercial business. (To be continued.) )
