"How is that possible?"

It may be that he was distracted by the pain on the **, so Zhang Sheng could still react, but it can be seen from his reaction that Daming's Ministry of Rites Shangshu has fallen into a state of frenzy, otherwise he would not have shouted out everyone's heart so loudly. [No pop-up novel network]

Zhengde didn't pursue Zhang Sheng's rudeness, but asked with interest: "Huh? Why is it impossible? You don't know, the governor of Liaodong has made new agricultural tools and reclaimed a lot of wasteland, so what's so strange about a bumper harvest? ”

"Obviously ......" Zhang Sheng was a little uncalm, but after all, he didn't go crazy, and swallowed back the words when they came to his mouth.

Of course he knew about the new farm tools or something, and even thought about it, wondering if he would scrape those things after the hoe was annihilated, if the effect was too good, it would be good to send someone to steal the teacher.

Later, when he got Chen Shiliang's letter, he learned that the new farm tools were very dependent on animal power, and he dispelled this idea, he was not familiar with the work in the field, but he knew a lot about related things, and the tenant farmers were much cheaper than livestock, and the new farm tools could not be used at all.

But the crux of the problem is not here, no matter how amazing the farm tools are, the wheat seedlings can't withstand the hail! There is obviously hail in Liaodong!

What Zhang Sheng really wants to say is this, but this matter has never been clarified, so he can't say it, otherwise those people who have been dismissed in the past ten months are his role models, and those people are only guilty of one crime, that is: dereliction of duty, corpse meal.

Knowing that the disaster in Liaodong was not reported, this crime was much more than those people, Zhang Sheng still had a trace of sanity, and of course he would stop the precipice. However, his heart was overwhelmed by that huge doubt, and if he couldn't figure it out, he would not be blind to death.

"Look, I didn't lie to you, did I? What a festive event. Zhengde said triumphantly, he was already handsome, and he was even more handsome when he smiled, but how did the ministers think it was a mocking face, and they couldn't get angry when they saw it.

"Your Majesty, yesterday Weichen received a report from Chen Shiliang, the governor of Liaodong, according to the letter, it seems that there are natural disasters in Liaodong, especially in Liaoxi...... If this is true, the report of the governor of Liaodong is worth discussing, right? ”

In the end, he was still young, Yang Tinghe's reaction was much faster than Zhang Sheng's, but he changed the time of receiving the letter, and said it in a dignified manner, and by the way, he also questioned Xie Hong's integrity, implying that he lied about the military situation.

Yes, things are not desperate yet, and there is such a possibility!

The ministers were all stunned, or had expressions that couldn't accept the facts, but after hearing Yang Tinghe's words, they all perked up slightly, stared at Zhengde's boots, and waited with bated breath to listen to his explanation.

"Oh, I'm about to talk about it, this hail......" Zhengde made another long note, obviously to carry out the hanging appetite to the end, but this time everyone was prepared, and no one stumbled like Zhang Sheng.

"You can say it, you can say that it hasn't happened, anyway, it didn't have any impact on the crops, uh, except for Liaoxi......" Zhengde said that the truth is true, but in the ears of the courtiers, this is equivalent to not saying it, is it down or not?

Yang Tinghe didn't have time to stand up when he came out, so no matter what his position was, at this moment, the opinions were unified, and the eyes of the ministers were cast over, which was full of encouragement and trust.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has the courage to dare to ask the details?" Yang Tinghe, who was expected to return, had no choice but to harden his head and continue to ask.

"San'er, read it to them." Zhengde should have had enough, and with a bored look, he handed the letter to the third father-in-law, who bowed down to take the letter, and then read it in a frustrated voice.

“…… Liaoxi affairs, the minister has not investigated, fortunately there is Jinzhou Mucheng Post Wang Shouren, who knows astronomy and geography, knows ancient and modern, and is only eight buckets high......"

Everyone looked at each other, and in the recital, Xie Hong first asked for a crime, and then suddenly changed his words, and began to praise Wang Shouren for coming, and also deliberately pointed out his official position, and discussed the talent of a post in the court, which is getting worse and worse day by day.

“…… The minister adopted a scientific method and made a targeted approach to the prevention and control of hail...... It is precisely because of Wang Shouren's warning in advance that the ministers were able to deal with it calmly, thanks to His Majesty's blessings, and the cooperation of the military and the people, to build this feat, so ......"

The scientific method? How is it possible for science to be connected to hail? Danqi was at a loss, in fact, science is not a foreign word, as early as the Song Dynasty, there was already this saying.

Chen Liang said in the "Preface to the Book of Sending Uncle Ancestors to Yunzhou": "Since the rise of science, the scholars of the world are often trapped in a single Cheng Wen, or even die of old age or do not meet. ”

The science here refers to the study of the imperial examination, and all the people present are well-educated Confucians, of course, they don't know this allusion, so they are even more confused.

What's more, listening to the statement of the music chapter, there are indeed hailstones, which are the same as what Chen Shiliang said, but they were eliminated by Xie Hong by some means! And this method is precisely some kind of trick in the name of science by the person who does not learn and does not know how to do it...... Is this possible?

Everyone was shocked, but they couldn't get any answer from the recital, not even a hint, except for the cliché, the most said in it was to ask for merit for Wang Shouren and ask for a reward.

No one cares about this kind of thing, since the day Wang Shouren opened the sea, he has been labeled as a party annihilator by Shilin, and no one will be surprised that he and Xie Hongxin are in collusion.

What's more, whether such a person returns to the dynasty or not, everyone has no time to pay attention, if what is said in the chapter is true, then what will follow is a big crisis, compared to this crisis, many things are irrelevant.

The length of the recital was very long, but the third father-in-law only read about a third of the way before stopping, turned to Zhengde and asked, "Your Majesty, look, this is ...... below."

"Now I'll do it myself." Zhengde took the letter with a solemn face, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, you must be very curious, what kind of method is the scientific method of the governor of Liaodong, right?" ”

Almost everyone was nodding, and even Liu Jin, who was behind Zhengde, stretched his neck and poked his head out, trying to find the answer from the letter.

"Next, I will tell you what natural science is...... "Zhengde said clearly: "Natural science is the general name of all sciences that study the natural world and the natural world, including the biological caste of man. The object of knowledge is the whole of nature, i.e., ......"

As soon as he thought of this, the people below Danqi were even more at a loss, is this a Taoist treasure or a Buddhist scripture? Why are the words and concepts so weird?

"The task of understanding is to reveal the essence of the phenomena that occur in nature and the process of natural phenomena, and then grasp their laws...... "Zhengde is actually a little embarrassed, but since it was Xie Hong's explanation, he was reluctant to make it difficult.

In fact, he is also a little interested in natural science, this science can not only make all kinds of interesting things, but also build ships, make weapons, and even artificial rainfall, what a fun knowledge, but unfortunately it is too difficult, otherwise Zhengde himself plans to learn it.

"Nowadays, my royal academy, including physics, chemistry, smelting and other disciplines, are all part of the natural sciences, and since the efficacy of this science has been fully verified in Liaodong, therefore, I have decided to show the magic of natural science to the world from now on, and promote it throughout the world."

Sure enough, the bad news came one after another, and before the courtiers could resolve the deep disappointment in their hearts, or consider the next countermeasures, Zhengde had already made a move, and it was a heavy blow.

What bullshit natural science? It's just a trick of some strange silver skills, the farm tools are, those tricks before, even if it is to eliminate hail, I'm afraid it's some kind of unsightly technique, although everyone can't see it with their own eyes now, but they can always expose him in the future.

But if the emperor does this, it will be completely too late, with Xie Hong's demagogic ability, I am afraid that it will not take ten years to move the capital to the whole day!

He must be stopped!

"Your Majesty, the old minister believes that this matter should be taken seriously." Zhang Sheng grabbed the head this time, "The study of the sages is the foundation of my Ming Dynasty, how can it be replaced by absurd learning?" What's more, this is just the words of the governor of Liaodong, what is it, it is only right that the imperial court will send a large official to Liaodong to verify it after the inspector of the yamen has arrived? How can you conclude on this? ”

Zhengde sneered at each other: "Absurd learning? All kinds of skills are not mentioned for the time being, just saying that this learning can prevent hail, this point, I'm afraid even the saints can't do it, right? How is it absurd? Besides, the Liaodong Governor has always been inactive according to Chen Shiliang, and he has also had a lot of constraints on the Liaodong Governor, and now he has committed suicide with shame as his mind, where will there be any relief? ”

"Suicide ......" The courtiers were startled again, they should have been killed, right? That's right, it must have been Xie Hong who made a poisonous move, it really pitied Chen Shiliang's iron bones!

Moreover, this is really a scene of the end of the world, even the officials of the court will be killed, and there is no body at all, but it's okay...... He didn't go to Liaodong, otherwise he would dare to let the imperial history of the dynasty be killed by himself, even if he was older, how could he be soft?

"Your Majesty Rong Yu ......" Zhang Sheng didn't dare to mention the matter of sending people to Liaodong, otherwise eighty percent of this errand would fall on him, and the capital would go thousands of miles to Liaodong, even if Xie Hong didn't poison him, he couldn't afford to toss this old bone!

"Providence is unpredictable, although Liaoxi has suffered a disaster, and Liaodong has been covered with dark clouds for a few days, but who can say what the weather is? From summer to autumn, it is a rainy season, maybe it is going to rain? Even if the governor of Liaodong made some arrangements, it was just a ritual to sacrifice to the heavens, how could it be called 'learning' and promote it to the whole world? ”

After that, he used a trick that he hadn't used for a long time, and cried on the ground: "Your Majesty, the way of etiquette and learning is the right way of heaven and earth, if you replace the sages with the crooked ways of evil sects, the great disaster will not be long in coming, Your Majesty must be cautious again!" ”

Zhengde snorted coldly, and said contemptuously: "Hmph, I have made up my mind, if anyone has any doubts, after the dispersal of the dynasty, you might as well go to Houdefang to go around, I have already appointed a scholar to preach natural science there, and when you understand the content of the preaching, it is not too late to discuss with me, and then there are those who answer the questions and use strong words, and Tu Xun is the same example!" ”

"......" If you want to stop crying, you have to be scared, and as soon as Zhengde's words fell, the crying stopped abruptly.

Tu Xun is the same example, this is really too ruthless? Zhang Sheng is actually not very afraid of death, he has lived enough at this age, if he can go down in history, what is death? But he didn't want to be beaten to death by the eunuchs, and after his death, he would not only end up with a laughing stock, but also get a big crime, which would be too unworthy.

The most important thing is that Tu Xun's treatment is now a precedent? Oh my God, is this still going to make people live?
