Chapter 193: The Wild Words of the Ming Xin Layman
On the day when Zhu Zhanqi left Beijing, there was a crowd of people in front of a tower in the south of the city, and the black pressure was full of people watching the excitement, both ordinary people and scholars, and businessmen and merchants. The update is the fastest and most stable
A must-have for chasing books
"Boss Liu, which side did you bet on?" In the crowd, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe with a big belly asked a thin middle-aged man beside him with great interest.
"Naturally, I lost." Boss Liu smiled and said, "Boss Zhang, what about you?" ”
"Just like you." Boss Zhang also laughed, looked up at the tower, and said, "It's the first time I've met such a good amount of money. ”
"Brother Lin, what do you think Ming Xinjushi means by this?" At the same time, a young man with a round face dressed as a scribe asked another young man with a Chinese character face dressed as a scribe.
"Hmph, it's just grandstanding." The young man with the national character face sneered disdainfully, "Wait and see how he makes a fool of himself." ”
"I don't know if that Mingxin monk will come? His article is so well written, he must be a *** suave son! Not far from the young man with the national character, surrounded by a group of family members, a woman who looked like a young lady said excitedly to the female companion beside her.
"I don't know if he's married." The female companion was also dressed up as a lady, with her hands on her chest, and said with a on her face, "Smoke lock pond willow, I don't know how he came up with this eternal absolute!" ”
……
At the end of March, on the page of the Ming Xin Bao's economic and historical debate, Ming Xin Jushi suddenly made a surprising statement, and even published a "high theory" that under the obstruction of the wind, the speed at which objects fall is the same, regardless of their weight.
At this moment, the whole capital was sensationalized, and Ming Xinbao has now successfully entered the lives of the middle and upper classes in the capital and has become an indispensable part of their daily life.
More than a month ago, Ming Xinbao carried out a special follow-up report on the Jingtongcang case, which was well received by people in Beijing, so that they could understand the progress of the case as soon as possible, and it was basically sold out as soon as it was listed.
Under Li Yuntian's planning, Mingxin Bao has been subscribed by more and more merchants and large households in the capital, and in ancient times when spiritual life was scarce, the emergence of Mingxin Bao was undoubtedly a valuable spiritual food for people, and its influence gradually increased.
For example, Zhu Zhanqi was sent by Emperor Hongxi to Fengyang to guard the ancestral mausoleum, and Ming Xinbao reported it in a prominent position on the political pages of the imperial court, which made this matter widely publicized, and it was also a wake-up call to those high-ranking officials and magnates in the court who were close to the king of Han.
There is no doubt that the treasure of the town of Mingxin Bao is naturally the Ming Xin Jushi who once wrote the "smoke lock pond willow", which is called a lonely pair by the scholars.
Ming Xin Jushi is not only brilliant, but also eloquent, often in the newspaper on the history of the debate page with people debate, sharp arguments, so far has not tasted a defeat. The update is the fastest and most stable
What is particularly rare is that he also has unique insights in makeup and clothing, not only in women's clothing, but also teaches beauty methods, which is very popular among women in Beijing.
Some people even suspect that Ming Xinju is a woman, otherwise how could he know so much about women?
Li Yuntian wants this kind of effect, for him, Mingxin Jushi is just a gimmick, the purpose is to attract the attention of others and start the reputation of Mingxin News.
As soon as the remarks of the Ming Xin Jushi on the historical polemic page of the Ming Xin Bao about the speed of falling objects have nothing to do with the weight came out, they not only caused an uproar in the capital, but also attracted the verbal criticism of many scholars, who believed that the remarks of the Ming Xin Jushi were undoubtedly foolish dreams, whimsical, and absurd.
In response to the fierce reaction from the outside world, Ming Xinju only used one sentence to fight back, that is, "facts speak louder than words", and this seemingly arrogant attitude immediately angered the scholars in the capital.
However, for the girls, the unconventional Ming Xin Jushi is like a cold and arrogant image, just imagine who dares to be the enemy of the scholars in the capital? This kind of courage and momentum alone is enough to attract the attention of the girls.
In order to prove that his point of view is correct, the Ming Xin Jushi is ready to verify it in person, and the location is in front of this tower, so it has attracted a large number of people to come and watch, so the Nancheng Terracotta Division dispatched a large number of sergeants to the scene to maintain order.
Due to the resounding name of the Ming Xin Jushi, the ** in the capital will naturally not let go of this opportunity to make money, so they have opened handicaps one after another, betting on whether the Ming Xin Jushi will lose or win in this debate.
Naturally, the odds of betting on Ming Xinjushi to win are very high, which shows that ** is not optimistic that he will win, how many people will believe Li Yuntian's fallacy? In the simplest example, can a stone and a feather fall at the same rate?
The odds of betting on Ming Xinjushi losing are very low, but since they can win, there are still many people who bet.
Although Mingxin Jushi will undoubtedly lose on the surface, there are still people who bet that he can win, if nothing else, just for that high bet, in case Mingxin Jushi wins, then he can make a fortune.
"It's coming!" In the anxious waiting of the people, the crowd did not know who shouted, so everyone looked back, only to see two carriages coming from the road, and the body of the carriage was painted with the three big characters "Ming Xin Bao".
Seeing the carriage appear, the people at the scene couldn't help but stir, and involuntarily rushed forward, wanting to know if the Ming Xinju was in the carriage, and the soldiers of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses who maintained order were a little staggered.
Under the gaze of everyone, the curtains of the two carriages opened one after another, and Qi Fu, the owner of the Mingxin Pavilion, and several young people wearing the same costume walked out of it, and the back of the costume said "Mingxin Daily".
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Qi Fu smiled and arched his hand to the crowd around him, and said loudly.
found that the Ming Xin monk did not come, and there was a sudden sigh of disappointment at the scene, and everyone wanted to know who the very secret Ming Xin monk was.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Mingxin Jushi commissioned me to come down to verify, if you have any questions, I will try my best to answer them." The smile on Qi Fu's face did not decrease, and he looked at the close crowd around him and explained loudly.
Before the opening of Mingxin Bao, he could never have imagined that Mingxin Bao would achieve such great success, and now there are dozens of people who write commentaries and articles for Mingxin Bao alone, so that Mingxin Bao's newspaper has grown from one issue to two issues now, and it is constantly expanding.
In order to make today's verification more authoritative, Qi Fu Yi invited Qin Xin, one of the two divisions of the Jingshi Guozijian, to be a witness.
Jingshi Guozijian is an official from the four grades, in charge of the administration of Confucianism, the general Guozixue, Taixue, Guangwenguan, Simenguan, law, calligraphy and arithmetic.
Guozijian is the central government school after the ancient Sui Dynasty, the highest institution in the ancient education system, because the Ming Dynasty implemented the "Shuangjing system", so there are Guozijian in Beijing and Nanjing.
The Guozijian located in Beijing is called "Beijian" or "Beiyong", also called Jingshi Guozijian, and the Guozijian located in Nanjing is called "Nanjian" or "Nanyong".
Among them, Nanjing Guozijian is large-scale, known as "stretching for ten miles, the lights are shining", in addition to the shooting garden, warehouse, sanatorium and storage room, there are more than 2,000 classrooms, library buildings, dormitories and canteens in the school buildings.
As of the first year of Hongxi, there were more than 10,000 students in Nanjing Guozijian, and there were also thousands of students in Jingshi Guozijian.
The administration of Guozijian consists of five halls and six halls, the five halls are the Rope Hall, the Doctor's Hall, the Classics Hall, the Book Hall and the Palm Food Hall, and the six halls are the Frankness Hall, the Monastery Hall, the Chengxin Hall, the Justice Hall, the Chongzhi Hall and the Guangye Hall.
Guozijian mainly studied the "Four Books" and "Five Classics", and also studied the "Encyclopedia of Sex and Reason", the laws and regulations, and the number of books.
Historically, before the Ming Xianzong, the eight strands of literature had not yet risen, so the country had a strong cultural atmosphere, and neighboring countries such as Korea, Ryukyu, Japan and Siam "taught to Mu Wenjiao" and constantly sent students to study, which was unprecedented.
If you want to enter the Guozijian to study, there are four main ways, namely: the eunuch, the tribute eunuch, the shadow eunuch and the regular eunuch.
Lifter: Those who fail to be selected in the Beijing examination will be sent to the Guozijian for study by the Hanlin Academy.
Gongjian: The outstanding students selected by various states and counties, that is, Xiucai, enter the Guozijian to study.
Yin Eunuch: The son of a relative or an official of the third rank or above, or the emperor's grace and enter the country to study.
Routine Supervisor: Donate money to study in Guozijian, also known as "people's livelihood", which means students recruited from the people.
Because the regular eunuch relied on money to enter the Guozijian, so in the Guozijian is the least valued, the lowest status, usually the son of a wealthy businessman, one is to hope that the children can succeed in the Guozijian and be admitted to the imperial examination, and secondly, it is also hoped that they will expand their contacts and establish a circle of interpersonal relationships for future development.
In the capital, the biggest patron of Ming Xinbao is the students of Guozijian, because of the low price, rich content, so it is very popular with the students of Guozijian, almost everyone has a copy, not only entertainment, but also concerned about the current affairs of the imperial court, some students' contributions are often published in the section of economic and historical debates.
Therefore, the students of the Chinese Zijian who are present today account for a considerable proportion, and many people are attracted to see who the Ming Xin layman who is in the Ming Xin Bao is really sacred, and at the same time want to witness his defeat.
Qin Xin, as the secretary of the four products of the Guozi Supervisor, naturally would not participate in this kind of folk activities lightly, it was Li Yuntian who specially visited him and invited him to be a witness, so he appeared in this place.
Speaking of which, the reputation of Mingxin Bao is not loud enough, although it is now well-known among the people, but it cannot arouse the attention of those high-ranking officials and nobles in the society, otherwise there is no need for Li Yuntian to come out, and the celebrities in the capital will rush to be this witness.
Because Li Yuntian gave it a head when Mingxin Bao was established and taught a lesson to the gangsters who came to Mingxin Hall to blackmail, many people in the capital knew that he was the owner of Mingxin Bao, but no one connected him with the mysterious Mingxin layman.
The reason is very simple, Ming Xin Jushi has unique insights in makeup and clothing, and he is very interested in women, which is obviously inconsistent with the image of Li Yuntian who studied hard in the cold window, and there must be someone else.
Under the command of Qi Fu, the staff of Mingxin Bao used a scale to weigh two large and small iron balls, one 10 catties and the other 5 catties.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the weight of these two iron balls is different, according to the explanation of Ming Xinjushi, the impact of the wind on these two iron balls is slight, so these two iron balls should land at the same time after falling from a high place."
After letting the two staff members of Mingxin Bao each hold an iron ball to show it to the people at the scene, Qi Fu held a horn in his hand and shouted, "Wait a minute, these two iron balls will be taken to the tower, and they will let go at the same time after receiving the instructions of the people on the ground, please wait and see if the situation is what Mingxin Jushi said." ”
In front of everyone's eyes, two clerks of the Ming Xin Bao holding iron balls went up the stairs on the side of the city wall, the tower was more than 20 meters above the ground, and the people on the ground could clearly see the two clerks standing on the edge of the tower parapet with iron balls in their hands.
There was silence at the scene, and everyone stared intently at the two clerks on the tower, and the soldiers on duty on the city wall also looked curiously, and they also heard about this interesting thing, and wanted to know what the result was.
It is certainly not easy for ordinary people to go to the heavily guarded city wall, but the guards of the capital are under the responsibility of the Gyeonggi Governor's Office, which is a piece of cake for Li Yuntian, and there is no need to bother Zhou Zheng at all, and the brother-in-law alone will do the matter.
