The eleventh year of Wanli is destined to be written into the annals of history. One is that several major newspapers once extrapolated more than 200 solar and lunar eclipses recorded in the past 100 years in accordance with Taixi's astronomical method a few years ago, and found that they could all be combined. It also predicts solar and lunar eclipses for the next few decades, and even what time it will start and end is clearly written.

According to forecasts, there will be a partial lunar eclipse in February and an annular solar eclipse in March......

This caused great panic among the Taoists, who thought about it and thought that they must prevent the appearance of these two celestial phenomena, as long as these two celestial phenomena were stopped, all the evil rumors could naturally be eliminated. So how to stop the appearance of celestial phenomena? In addition to pious prayers, they also turned to the Taoist leaders in the professional view and the senior monks in the temple, and even the priests of the Catholic Church, who were asked to do things and report to their respective bosses.

However, the gods from all walks of life showed their magical powers, and they did not stop the changes in the celestial phenomena. Under the watchful eyes of the people in the southeast, two celestial phenomena happened every second. This leads people to believe that celestial phenomena are natural phenomena that are regular, and not arbitrary. In addition to being amazed, people were more shocked, and some things that they had never dared to doubt began to shake violently.

In the silent teahouse in the front garden, there was a sigh.

"How so?" Old Man Zhou's voice trembled: "Could it be that Emperor Yù, Queen Mother, and Guanyin Bodhisattva are all fake?" ”

Tai Xie xìō stubbled his chin and said, "We actually live in a ball that can spin, so it is true that those people sailed around the world six years ago?" I thought they were mushy people. ”

"How can it be a lie?" Chen Guanren still looked like a know-it-all, and shook his head slightly disdainfully: "At that time, I said that Taixi's side had a round-the-world voyage decades ago, but you didn't think so. "Hey" Hou shopkeeper shook the newspaper and said: "The Taixi people are really powerful in this regard, and the newspaper said that many people have changed to Western studies." "Ah, how can we do our Confucianism?" Although Ma Liuye doesn't read books or newspapers, he is very patriotic.

"What kind of heart do you have?" Chen Guanren smiled and said: "This incident has hit the scholars too hard, and I have been shouting for more than 2,000 years to know today what is the real physics." It's really foolish to think about the past and talk about nothing." Shopkeeper Hou flipped to the front page of "New Newspaper", shook his head and said: "The ancient priest has three things, and the art is one, and the six arts are one since the Han Confucianism tampered with the scriptures. See the empty words of xìng with a clear mind, and practice the practical learning of governing people.

It lies in the present, Shi Zhan Yijing, shame from the balance: only seven steps high, not the discipline of the sect: no matter the number of rivers and canals, "thinking about the people's livelihood and accepting its ......, hearing the Hou shopkeeper read his own article, sitting silently behind the counter and laughing, it is not easy... In fact, more than ten years ago, he ordered someone to publish the book "Physics into Mén", which clearly stated at the beginning: "Physicists are poor in reason." Yangming Gezhu causes disease, and it is a fallacy to be a non-grid object. A gentleman doesn't know physics, so how can he do it? Therefore, this book of physics speaks of the truth of all things, and leads the gentleman into the mén of poor reason. In the book, he pointed out that Song Ruge's idea of exhaustive reasoning was right, but just sitting there and imagining it would never be able to understand the truth of things. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and we must start from the simplest physics, learn the laws of the world little by little, explore the unknown laws, until we understand the laws of everything and everything, and then we can achieve "Confucianism's learning of the latitude and warp of heaven and earth."

After the publication of this book, it was not bad, and it was reprinted five times in more than 10 years, and more than 80,000 copies were reprinted, but the repercussions in the society were not very much because of the value system of the readers, who still put the study of the heart at the core of learning, and regarded other knowledge, including science and technology, as "tools under the form" and "small skills of the last business", so they only regarded these physical knowledge as a pastime and entertainment, and did not pay attention to it. I hope this incident will change people's perceptions.

Shen Mo was thinking about it, and the tea guests suddenly lowered their voices, and he came back to his senses to listen, it turned out that these people were talking about a terrible topic......

"Do you say, is the emperor still destined for heaven?" Shopkeeper Hou asked timidly: "Isn't the etiquette that the emperor practices every year a joke?" "Don't talk about that!" Chen Guanren frowned and reprimanded: "The emperor is the emperor, and it has nothing to do with the stars in the sky!" ”

"We don't agree with this, why do the people of all countries in Kyushu kneel to the emperor, it is because the emperor is the son of heaven, the son of God." Old man Zhou shook his head and said: "To put it bluntly, I just don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, and the big guy respects God." If there is no such relationship" he didn't have a máo on his lips, pouting and not going on.

"Don't you understand? It's all made up to coax us people. Ma Liuye didn't care about that, and said: "Damn, the old man who is not stupid or stupid, he has been rough for half his life!" "Okay, okay, don't say any more." Chen Guanren actually clenched his fists and begged: "Who knows if there is a fan of Dongchang sitting here drinking tea?" ”

These words surprised the other three, Ma Liuye's face was a little unbearable, he looked around the teahouse, and shouted: "Is there a fan of Dongchang?" Is there one? The tea guest shook his head with a smile, and he spread his hands and said, "Lord Chen, you see, there is no fan." "Even if there is, who will admit it." Chen Guanren was depressed and wanted to splash this two hundred and five with tea.

"Lord Chen dissipated his anger," the shopkeeper Hou lit a cigarette for him and said: "Speaking of eunuchs, I heard that Huizhou is not very peaceful......

After the tea guests were silent for a while, Chen Guanren still lowered his voice and said, "We have to thank the prefect." "How?" "Without the prefect, we are also like Huizhou." Chen Guanren sighed: "The emperor gave the weaving eunuch Cheng Shouxun too much power, not only gave him the privilege of guarding the Qincha, giving him the privilege of being a special person and telling the secret at any time, but also gave him the privilege of being a ruler, raising a thorn general, and acting arbitrarily.

He washed away the lessons of Zhang Qing again, not only brought Dongchang Fanzi to escort him, but also recruited more than a thousand villains and hooligans in the north to act as minions. With so many minions and wings, it is naturally impossible to be kind to the place, that is to devour the tiger and devour the wolf, and hunt far away! "Cheng Shouxun is a native of Huizhou Mansion, where is the Hui merchant Sang Zi often said that rabbits do not eat the grass next to the nest Cheng Shouxun is just the opposite, it is said that he could not eat when he was *, so he cut off the eunuch who talked a few times. Xu is jealous and hateful to the wealthy merchants in the township, so he will regard them as the target of wanton. It is said that every time he went out of the mén, he always covered the chariots and horses, filled the streets, in front of the queue were two vermilion gold characters of the Qin Ming plate, followed by two special wooden cards: a book "Whoever sues the rich merchant and the giant to get rich illegally with this card", and the book "Whoever sues the officials and the people and other treasures to enter with this card" is carried by four knights, and the other spears and swords are like thin guards, which are more powerful than the governor on patrol. ”

"His trick is to recruit people to inform, exposing the forbidden things hidden by the rich family......

In this era, even the little people are not so well-behaved, let alone the rich? Grasp one by one from this aspect. Chen Guanren said with a gloomy face: "All the defendants first led them through the market with iron locks and wooden shackles, and then threw them into a water prison, soaked day and night without eating and drinking, and then made the soap servants humiliate and beat them, so that they could not beg for death or survive, and had to abandon their families and property, and kneel and beg for their lives.

Later, the ordinary wealthy families immediately lost their lives, and even the wealthy and wealthy families were afraid of the people, so they had to stay away from the countryside. "Oh my God, the disaster of Zhengde has really reappeared" Hou said miserably: "Those officials and ministers, why don't they care?" "What's the matter?" Chen Guanren tǐng his neck and said: "Nanzhi Liu pressed the platform and ordered him to converge Cheng Shouxun, and immediately replied, "You and I are both envoys, and no one can care about anyone" Liu pressed the platform and was speechless. Cheng also declared to the public many times: "I was born as the Son of Heaven, and I have a secret decree, and the ministry is not allowed to investigate, and the science and Taoism are not allowed to be impeached." After hearing this, the emperor was told by the imperial history, but he did not make any judgment, obviously acquiescing. After that, Nanjing Jiuqing, Liangjing Kedao Jiāo Zhang, and the emperor still did not listen, and Cheng Shouxun was safe and sound in Huizhou. ”

"Why is the emperor so unclear? Could it be because he brought gold, silver and jewels to the palace from time to time? Ma Liuye said indignantly when he heard this.

"This is on the one hand, the key is that the emperor wants to show his attitude of relying on eunuchs." Chen Guanren sighed.

11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 ”

Tie Shan, who was wiping the table on the side, heard this, threw away the rag, and was silent like a sack, and rushed backwards. The third lady and Ma Yuan followed closely behind, and before the tea guest could understand what was going on, the four of them disappeared.

"What is this for?" People looked at each other.

A few tea customers seemed to have a premonition of some calamity, and slipped out one by one.

Shopkeeper Hou said: "Let's go!" It's not early! ”

"The tea that has just been brewed has not fallen yet, and the sixth master has not yet understood.

At this time, the cotton curtain was torn down fiercely, and a man pretending to be a fierce man broke in. A pair of feet wearing spiked boots like iron hooves stepped into the temple opened by Dòng, and the small teahouse was trampled to the ground. The tea guests stood up in panic and tried to escape from the back.

"Don't move!" The fierce men had knives and guns in their hands, and they were carrying flickering torches to block all exits.

"Brothers, I'm Chen Jingban of the prefect's yamén, which part of you are from?" Chen Guanren forced himself to calm down.

"East Factory Service!" The leader of the fan coldly dropped a sentence. A man in civilian clothes beside him muttered a few words in his ear, staring directly at Chen Guanren's table.

"Just now, you made wild remarks and slandered the emperor?" The leader stared at Chen Guanren for a few words.

"No, no, absolutely not" Chen Guanren denied it: "Our brothers drink tea here every day." As you know, we are all good people! ”

"Who said the emperor was a joke? Who said that the emperor is coming. The ringleader, yīn, said, "If you don't say it, you will be arrested!" As he spoke, he glared at the shopkeeper Hou and said, "Did you say that?" Frightened, the shopkeeper Hou sifted the chaff like a swing, and could only shake his head like a plucking drum.

"Then arrest them all!" The leader waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go back and slowly concoct it!" The fans held the curtain and were about to step forward to get someone, Chen Guanren panicked and said: "I am an official of the imperial court, you can't take me!" ”

"It turned out to be a small manager, what kind of big shell king is it?" The plainclothes man scolded: "Today, when I heard your knowledge, I thought you were the prefect of Shanghai!" Chen Guan recognized that this person was actually a tea guest who was drinking tea in the corner, but he didn't dare to say much, but said casually: "That's all from the Di newspaper, I'm a small manager, I know what .........."

"You!" The plainclothes man went out early, and he didn't hear Chen Guanren's later nonsense, so he took a sip and didn't attack again: "Take it away!" "Slow" only listened to Ma Liuye's pale face and said: "I'm confused, those hún account words just now are all what I said, and it has nothing to do with them." ”

"Sixth Master......" The other three looked at Ma Liuye movingly.

"Now admit it, it's too late!" The leader of the fan smiled and said, "Four good friends go to prison and continue to chat!" ”

Fanzi escorted the four of them to the entrance of the store, and was stopped by Ma Yuan: "The little one is the owner of this shop, you have worked hard, go in and sit and have a cup of tea."

"Drink your ball, fade out of the bird!" Fanzi spat on him.

"Since it's the boss, take it away!" The boss of the fan did not let go of this opportunity for extortion.

"Ah, the poor master spares his life, the 1 little one didn't do anything." Ma Yuan said, and presented a stack of silver tickets in his hand.

"They are gossiping about the crowd in the store, you didn't stop it," the leader of the fan took it, looked at it through the light, and his voice softened and said, "Why do you have to make a record?" Tell the truth in the hall, it's none of your business......" After the team of fans escorted the five people away, the tea guests dared to look out: "What's wrong?" I've always said that I've said ten times as much, but I haven't seen anyone come to catch it. ”

"Silence, brother." Someone else patted him on the shoulder: "This time and that time." The people dispersed in amazement.
