In addition to Sun Chengzong's reinstatement by Zhu Youxiao, Xu Guangqi, the former right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, was also recalled by Zhu Youxiao. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

There is no other reason, as a science student, among the officials of the late Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao knows best that it is not Sun Chengzong, nor Yuan Chonghuan, but Xu Guangqi, a famous scientist in the history of science.

However, Zhu Youxiao did not let him be appointed as an official of the Ministry of Rites again, but made him a left attendant of the Ministry of Works, which was a Ming Dynasty official, although it was a level-level deployment, but in fact it had been downgraded by one level.

The university scholar took the official of the Ministry of Rites and reinstated Xu Guangqi as the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry, which means that Xu Guangqi may not have a chance with the cabinet in the future.

But Xu Guangqi is Xu Guangqi after all, and as a scholar-type official, Xu Guangqi's desire for power is far less than his curiosity about science.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao was able to summon him back because of a drawing.

As soon as he entered the palace to meet him, Xu Guangqi didn't care about the etiquette of the monarch and the ministers, so he took the drawing and asked Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, is there really such a firearm in the world?" ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled: "Mr. Xu, please take a look!" ”

As he spoke, Xu Guangqi saw that Zhu Youxiao took out a jet-black iron box, pointed to the sparrow that stayed on the white marble pillar outside the hall, and lightly buttoned it.

Just listen to the bang!

The little yellow door at the gate of the hall trembled, and Xu Guangqi was also pale with fright, but when he looked outside the hall, the sparrows outside the hall had already been killed, and they were torn apart.

Xu Guangqi couldn't help but be stunned, secretly thinking that there was such a firearm in the world, there was no smoke, and there was no need to fill gunpowder, it was so small and exquisite, but with a slight buckle, it could beat a sparrow five hundred steps away like this!

"Your Majesty, Weichen has the courage to ask, what is this, with this firearm, the war in Liaodong can be determined, and the trouble of Hulu is not to be worried!"

Xu Guangqi hurriedly made a gesture towards Zhu Youxiao.

"This kind of firearm, I can't make it for the time being, this is a gap of several eras, but the reason why I show you is to let you know that there is another science in this world, his knowledge is the foundation of the progress of human civilization, and I want you Xu Guangqi to be a master of knowledge in this area, and finally create such a firearm for me."

Zhu Youxiao said and said: "Of course, not only to create such a firearm, I also want you to become my Ming Yuan Longping, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty can really have no worries about food and clothing, although the promotion of sweet potatoes and corn can solve the food crisis, but if this is the staple food for a long time, but also to reduce the average national IQ and physique, only through hybridization to increase the yield of rice and wheat rich in amino acids can I let the people of the Ming Dynasty have no worries about food and clothing and have always been in the forest of the world's nations, do you understand?" “

"Wechen doesn't quite understand."

Xu Guangqi was telling the truth, he didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor, who only loves carpentry, would say so many things that he didn't know in his life, firearms He understood that the emperor was referring to firearms, but who was Yuan Longping, as well as sweet potatoes and corn, he had seen this thing in FJ, it was indeed good, there were already places to promote planting, but what is hybridization, and amino acids, what is this thing.

Zhu Youxiao smiled a little proudly, it was a pleasure to be able to stump a two-rank scholar and a great scientist, so he said:

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, read more books, that is, you can become a scholar, it means that you are not stupid, I have a lot of knowledge books in this area here, I will give them to you, you go back and refer to them carefully, if there is anything you don't understand, you can give it to me by handing the fold, I will help you answer, and I will inform the cabinet and the celebrant to make it convenient for you."

As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao instructed Xiao Huang on the side: "Pass the decree to the celebrant supervisor, and in the future, Xu Shilang's excerpts will be sent to me." ”

Xu Guangqi's mind was a little confused now, and when he saw that His Majesty was going to see his own performance in person in the future, he hurriedly thanked him, and at this time, two small yellow doors came over carrying a box of books: "Your Majesty, this is the book you want to give to Xu Shilang." ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded, and asked Xiao Huangmen to send the Jinyi guards outside to send these books to Xu Shilang's mansion.

Xu Guangqi, who gradually understood what Zhu Youxiao meant, looked at the iron box in Zhu Youxiao's hand again, and then resolutely stood up: "In this case, Your Majesty, Weichen has a reluctant request, please Your Majesty agree." ”

"Say it", Zhu Youxiao nodded.

"The minister wants the emperor to use Sun Yuanhua, Bi Maokang, and Mao Yuanyi, these three people and Weichen are the same miscellaneous scholars, they all offended Li Jinzhong, but Weichen wants them to make firearms in His Majesty's hands with Weichen."

After Xu Guangqi said this, he looked at Zhu Youxiao, and the ministers of the court and the central government all knew that His Majesty was extremely fond of Li Jinzhong, and now he dared to suggest that His Majesty use the person Li Jinzhong hated, would it cause His Majesty to be dissatisfied.

Just when Xu Guangqi was worried, Zhu Youxiao laughed directly: "It seems that I should also set up a Daming Academy of Sciences." ”

As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao turned around and said, "What Aiqing played, I am all right." ”

Suddenly, Zhu Youxiao slapped his forehead again: "There is a famous person, I almost forgot, go and pass the decree to the Jinyi Guard to command Xu Xianchun, and immediately go and find a person named Song Yingxing for me, no, no, it is for me to invite." ”

……

Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch and commander of Dongchang, sat on the chair and sighed, and trembled and handed the fold in his hand to the scholar Wei Guangwei: "Elder Wei Ge, take a look at this." ”

Since Zhu Youxiao recovered from a serious illness, Huang Liji, the first assistant to the cabinet, has always said that he can't afford to be sick, and even Zhu Youxiao's first morning court did not go.

Wei Guangwei and Li Jinzhong have a very good relationship, and they can be regarded as Wei Zhongxian's henchmen, so after Huang Liji said that he was ill, Wei Guangwei presided over the cabinet, and he was just crowned the prince by Zhu Youxiao.

Therefore, at this time, Wei Guangwei was in high spirits, as if the whole person was a lot younger, and when he saw Wei Zhongxian sighing, he didn't understand a little, so he asked:

"Why are you so depressed at the age of nine thousand, now that you are one person and above ten thousand, are you still not satisfied?"

"It's because the contemptible people are now above 10,000 people under one person, so I have to be worried, has Wei Ge Lao forgotten how Liu Jin died during the Zhengde period?"

When Wei Zhongxian spoke, Wei Guangwei had already opened the fold, and the fold was handed by Li Mingrui, so he couldn't help laughing: "The little Hanlin Academy has also done the business of speaking officials, and these young officials are really getting more and more bold. “

But when Wei Guangwei saw Li Mingrui's content, his face tightened: "This person is not simple, the words of impeachment do not say that they are arbitrary, they don't say that they are plotting wrong, and they don't say that they are corrupt and perverting the law, but they are all heart-wrenching words!" Where did this man come from? “

"It has been ascertained, it is Sun Chengzong's protégé, the third-class jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse", Wei Zhongxian sighed as he said: "I can't imagine that there is such a powerful character in this Hanlin Academy, and he writes a good article." ”

"Sun Chengzong?"

After Wei Guangwei muttered, he asked, "So, this fold has to be presented to the imperial front?" ”

Wei Zhongxian nodded: "Submit, it must be submitted, it must be submitted immediately, and when Your Majesty summons Xu Shilang, I will go in person, otherwise, my life will not be guaranteed!" “

Saying that, Wei Zhongxian smiled and said: "Elder Wei Ge, you can also ask your protégé to write a bullet to impeach the contemptible, this credit cannot be given to Sun Chengzong's people alone!" ”
