Soon, Wang Chengen came in with Xu Guangqi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Minister Xu Guangqi, knock to see the emperor and Niangniang." After Xu Guangqi came in, he immediately knelt down and saluted.

"Hurry up and excuse me." Xiao Mu hurriedly stepped forward to help Xu Guangqi up, "Come on, give me a seat." ”

Wang Chengen brought a seat for Xu Guangqi to sit on, and saw that Xiao Mu didn't need to serve himself, so he went out and took Yang Tao and Hu Yun to receive the reward.

Xiao Muxian greeted and said, "Xu Aiqing's health has been good lately?" ”

Xu Guangqi replied: "Emperor Xie is worried, thanks to the emperor and Niangniang's Hongfu, the minister's body is quite tough. ”

Xiao Mu saw that the greeting was almost over, so he continued: "Xu Aiqing, do you know why I came to you? ”

Xu Guangqi said: "Listening to what the two brocade guards said, the emperor wants to ask about Jesus Christ, but I don't know if the emperor is interested in the religion of the Taixi people?" ”

Xu Guangqi replied, very nervous. If the emperor is interested in the Taixi religion, it seems that it is not a fortunate thing for the Ming Dynasty, I think that when Emperor Jiajing was in power, he believed in Taoism, and did not go to the court for decades, and there were many wastes in government affairs, and the national situation was once very critical. If the emperor repeats the mistakes of the past and indulges in the teachings of the Holy Father and the Son, it will be an endless disaster, and it seems to be worse than Taoism. Now that the situation in the court has been troubled internally and externally, it is very critical, and he can no longer withstand the toss, Xu Guangqi feels that it is necessary for him to persuade the emperor.

Xiao Mu smiled: "I just had nothing to do, and I accidentally talked to the queen about this Christianity. I heard that the people on Tessie's side used this date of Jesus Christ's birthday to mark the year, and I was very interested in this way of dating, so I sent someone to ask, but I didn't want the two to find Xu Aiqing. Aiqing knows how to use the birthday of Jesus Christ to keep the year? ”

Xu Guangqi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Back to the emperor, there are many people in the Taixi countries who believe in Catholicism. It is based on the emergence of a common age year, with the year of the birth of Jesus Christ as the beginning of the year, which is the 'first year of the Common Era', and the year before that is called 'a certain year of B.C.'. ”

With a satisfied look on Xiao Mu's face, it seemed that the questions that had plagued this afternoon could finally be answered.

Xu Guangqi saw that Xiao Mu was so happy when he heard what he said about Catholicism, and he felt a little uneasy, and then advised: "The emperor is the master of my destiny, about this Taixi religion, just have a little understanding, you must not indulge in it, otherwise it will not be the blessing of my Ming court, nor the blessing of hundreds of millions of people in the world." ”

Xiao Mu understood Xu Guangqi's worries and said: "Xu Aiqing is too worried, I just inadvertently talked about this method of chronology with the queen, and I am not interested in Christianity. ”

Xiao Mu saw that Xu Guangqi's face seemed to be in disbelief, and continued: "I heard that in order to maintain its authority, the Holy See adhered to the 'geocentric theory' and refused to recognize Copernicus's 'heliocentric theory', and it was not until Copernicus was about to die that his work was published. Bruno, a student of Copernicus, challenged the authority of the Holy See and was burned alive by the Holy See because of his adherence to the 'heliocentric theory'. Thinking about my Ming Dynasty again, the imperial historian can hear about it, and there is no reason to be guilty of words. Comparing the two, which is better and which is inferior, it is naturally clear at a glance, how can I indulge in it? ”

Xu Guangqi was naturally very happy to hear Xiao Mu's words, and at the same time a little surprised: "The emperor has also heard of theories such as 'geocentric theory' and 'heliocentric theory'?" ”

"Yes, such a simple thing, children know it." Xiao Mu said as a matter of course.

"Ahem!" Lin Yi hurriedly coughed, "The emperor is right, I have never known the truth of sinners because of my words, even ignorant children. ”

Xiao Mu realized that he almost missed his mouth, but fortunately, Lin Yi covered up the past in time, and while feeling lucky, he quickly changed the topic and asked: "Xu Aiqing just mentioned the method of the 'AD' era, I don't know how many years this year is according to this law?" ”

Xu Guangqi didn't notice Xiao Mu's gaffe just now, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Back to the emperor, according to the minister's calculations, this year is the 1,628th year of the birth of Jesus Christ. ”

"Well, that means that using the A.D. chronology, this year is the year 1628?" Xiao Mu accepted the lesson just now, for fear that Xu Guangqi would see him born, so he pretended not to know and confirmed it with Xu Guangqi.

"Back to the emperor, exactly." Xu Guangqi replied.

While Xu Guangqi answered, Xiao Mu and Lin Yi were busy doing subtraction in their hearts: 1644 minus 1628, well, it seems that there are still sixteen years to go.

Finally got the answer he wanted, and Xiao Mu stopped talking about Christianity and anything like that. Thinking that Xu Guangqi was a scientist who could leave his name in history, he naturally had a lot of scientific works, so Xiao Mu asked: "I don't know what great works Xu Aiqing has made at home in recent years?" ”

Xu Guangqi's old face flushed: "The minister is ashamed, the minister has been idle at home for several years, and he has not made any decent articles." ”

When Xiao Mu heard this, he found that Xu Guangqi had really misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "Aiqing misunderstood, what I asked just now was not a sage article, but a work on science and technology. ”

Xiao Mu didn't know if there was the word "technology" in the Ming Dynasty, so he continued to explain: "For example, how do the stars in the sky work? How to control the water so that the people can avoid the suffering of flooding and at the same time irrigate the farmland? How can we increase grain production so that people have a surplus of food so that they do not go hungry? How to make a musket artillery so that the enemy will not dare to attack? Does Xu Aiqing have research in these aspects? ”

Xu Guangqi suddenly realized, understood what Xiao Mu meant, and said: "Back to the emperor, the minister had a deep friendship with the Jesuit Matteo Ricci in his early years, this person is well versed in the science of mathematics, and the minister has benefited a lot from his interactions with him. If you talk about water conservancy, agriculture and mulberry matters, the minister had a little research in his early years, there are several clumsy works such as "Sweet Potato Sparse" and "Cotton Planting Law", if the emperor is interested, the minister can go back and dedicate it to the emperor; As for the art of making guns and casting cannons, the minister recommended Sun Yuanhua, a student of the minister, who was proficient in the principles of firearms, and if the emperor wished, he could summon him at any time for consultation. ”

Xiao Mu was overjoyed when he heard this, this Xu Guangqi is simply omniscient in astronomy and geography, as a traverser, Xiao Mu of course thinks that the development of science and technology is very important, so he and Xu Guangqi have a heated discussion on these scientific issues, and they are very devoted, and unconsciously talk about it late at night, so they sent someone to send Xu Guangqi back, and at the same time asked him to send him after all his works were sorted out.

……

Early the next morning, Xiao Mu woke up and felt that there was nothing to do, so he went to Lin Ye and gossiped with Lin Ye without a word - after all, in this Ming Dynasty, Lin Ye and Xiao Mu still had some common language.

"I, the emperor, can be the emperor for sixteen years, which means that a good life can last for sixteen years, it seems that there is no need to worry about it for the time being." Xiao Mu is optimistic about the future.

"That was when the original Emperor Chongzhen was in place, and now it's you, it's hard to say if you can have a good life for sixteen years." Lin Yi said directly to Xiao Mu's confidence.

Xiao Mu was not hit at all: "Yes, now that it's me, maybe I can hold on for a few more years, as long as you don't hold me back." ”

Lin Yi ignored Xiao Mu's provocation, but said with emotion: "Now that you have become Emperor Chongzhen, the trend of history will definitely be changed by you, so no one knows how many years of qi this Ming Dynasty will have." ”

Xiao Mu understood what Lin Yi meant: "So, in fact, the year 1628 that we spent so much effort to get yesterday is not really useful?" ”

"Yes, not long after you crossed over, you did something like abdicating to make way for Xian and running out of the palace, and after a long time, the original history will definitely be changed beyond recognition by you. If you don't do it well, a mistake, the deadline may come early, and this sixteen years is just a psychological comfort. ”

Xiao Mu nodded, "Well, what you said is reasonable, but yesterday's toss was not in vain, and the harvest was huge." If we hadn't sent people around to ask questions in order to get the answer to this sixteen-year question, how could we have discovered this great scientist of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Guangqi? I decided to take his work and study it well, maybe I can find a way to develop production, reduce the number of displaced people, and find a way to deal with Huang Taiji. Didn't you say that I would also be a great scientist in the future, so it shouldn't be difficult for me to study these things. ”

When Xiao Muzheng was gossiping with Lin Yidong, Wang Chengen came and said, "Your Majesty, today is the day of the early dynasty, and the ministers are already waiting, please let the slaves and maids wait for the emperor to move to the court." ”

Xiao Mu suddenly remembered that there was such a thing as being the emperor and going to the court, and the unscrupulous monarchs he originally watched on TV were not all not in the court. Xiao Mu thinks that he is still disciplined, since he uses other people's bodies, he can't be a dumb monarch who ruins the reputation of the original Chongzhen Emperor, so Xiao Mu decided to go to the court, although he has no interest in this kind of thing.

So the question is, how do you get yourself to do things that don't interest you? That is, if you don't do this thing, there will be more uninteresting things waiting for you, just like when Xiao Mu was preparing for his graduation thesis in college but couldn't write it and was having a headache, those movies, games and things that he originally thought were very boring seemed to have become interesting, so that Xiao Mu couldn't concentrate on writing his thesis.

Therefore, although Xiao Mu was not interested in the court or anything, if he didn't go to the court, he would have to stare at Lin Yi here - every day for the past few days. So Xiao Mu decided to experience the feeling of going to the court, Xiao Mu felt that the court was the kind of "something to start, nothing to retreat" on TV, it was nothing more than a form, as soon as he got there, he sat there, and naturally retreated from the dynasty when he had nothing to do. After all, when you are an immovable rubber stamp, you can still do it.

Xiao Mu didn't know what a terrible thing it was to go to the court at this time......
