Zhang Yue came to the geodynamic instrument, and found that a copper ball fell from the core assembly of the geokinetic instrument, which rolled down the mouth of one of the many copper toads around the geokinetic instrument, and then slid along the toad's hollow stomach to the slideway engraved with the stems and scales behind the toad, and finally stopped at a position in the slideway.

Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment before he reacted, oh my God!! There was an earthquake somewhere, she quickly gathered her mind, recorded the location of the copper ball staying, and the direction of the falling toad, thinking about the calculation method taught by her uncle, and quickly calculated in her head, after a while, she ran to the big bookcase in the stargazing pavilion, turned out the Ming terrain map, spread it on the ground to find it, and muttered to herself,

"Between eight hundred and nine hundred kilometers southeast of the capital, here..."Zhang Yue raised his head, "It turns out that there was an earthquake here." ”

Zhang Yue was anxious, anxious to inform Zheng Jianzheng of this matter, and hurriedly walked out, thinking as he walked, this Ming Dynasty is really eventful, but a good person like the prince is facing being abolished, and there is an earthquake in Shandong, I really don't know how many people have to suffer disasters, so many natural disasters and man-made disasters continue, is God angry!!

Wait a minute! Zhang Yue suddenly stopped, and Yuan Mo's words today echoed in his mind, "Unless God manifests!! ”

A flash of inspiration flashed, and a bold thought flashed through her mind. She hesitated for a moment, looked back at the geodynamic instrument sharply, clenched her fists, rushed over, picked up the fallen copper ball and put it back into the hole in the core component of the geokinetic instrument, and quickly restored the geokinetic instrument to its original state.

Zhang Yue turned around and left the Star Gazing Pavilion and went straight to the Li Mansion.

Zhang Yue rushed to Li's mansion, Li Dongyang should be in the study at this hour, she rushed directly to Li Dongyang's study, and pushed the door open,

Li Dongyang was reading a book in the study, the door was pushed open by someone, he raised his head, and saw Zhang Yue rushing into the house, he frowned and shouted,

"Little Wu, what are you flustered about? Why not knock on the door? ”

Zhang Yue turned around and locked the door, walked up to his senior brother, picked up a cup of tea in front of the bookcase, poured it down, gasped for a long time, and said, "Senior brother, I have a way to save His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Li Dongyang was stunned for a moment, then stood up, "What did you say?" ”

Zhang Yue said, "I said I thought of a way to save the prince!" Let's let God save His Highness! ”

Li Dongyang glanced at Zhang Yue, and slowly sat down again, "Little Wu, Senior Brother knows that you want to help Your Highness, and you are in a hurry, Senior Brother doesn't blame you, Your Highness will be very happy if you have this heart...."

Zhang Yue hurriedly said, "Senior brother, I didn't say anything, you listen to me, I told you before, I was a prisoner in Qintianjian this time to help Qintianjian set up a geodynamic instrument." ”

Li Dongyang said, "Yes, aren't you already finished?" ”

"Yes, I went to the Qin Heavenly Prison just now, and the mechanism of the Earth Motion Instrument was activated."

Li Dongyang exclaimed, "Could it be that there is an earthquake somewhere?" ”

Zhang Yue said, "Yes, when the organ was activated, I happened to be next to it, I calculated the location of the earthquake according to the display of the agency, between 800 and 900 miles southwest of the capital, I checked the Ming terrain map, which is near Mount Tai under the jurisdiction of Jinan Prefecture in Shandong. ”

Li Dongyang's eyes flashed, "Taishan earthquake!" ”

Zhang Yue nodded violently, "Yes, senior brother, I remembered that today Yuan Mo inadvertently said, 'Unless God manifests, he can save His Highness', at this time, the Taishan earthquake is not God's manifestation." I remember that the master once said that since the beginning of this dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties regarded Mount Tai as the important sacrifice of the country, and Emperor Taizu himself once enshrined Mount Tai. Now that the earthquake in Mount Tai is blowing, isn't God angry! ”

Li Dongyang stood up suddenly, "Xiao Wu, you want to use the Taishan earthquake to convey the will of heaven." ”

Zhang Yue said, "Senior brother, now only this method is possible to save the prince, the Taishan earthquake has occurred less than an hour now, and the local officials in Shandong will find out the specific situation of the earthquake before reporting it to the imperial court." I have calculated, even if the local government reports to the imperial court without any delay, it will take two days for the news to be delivered to the capital at the earliest. I didn't tell anyone about this matter, and I also returned to normal with the organ of the Earth Movement Instrument, we can say that we are unpredictable prophets, you will enter the palace tomorrow to advise the emperor, I heard that the current emperor is superstitious about ghosts and gods, I don't believe that the emperor dares to abolish the prince. ”

Li Dongyang's eyes became deep, his hands behind his back, and he walked around the room,

Zhang Yue looked at Li Dongyang who was walking around, and said hurriedly, "Senior brother, don't walk around!" Does it work? ”

Li Dongyang stopped and stared at Zhang Yue, "Xiao Wu, you dare to guarantee that the ground motion instrument is not wrong!" ”

Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment, and said, "Senior brother, this is the first time that the geodynamic instrument has tested an earthquake, and it was an experiment in the past, so I can't give you an absolute answer if it's accurate." ”

"That means you can't bite the bullet!" Li Dongyang gasped.

"However, this is the only way that can help His Highness, senior brother, let's gamble anyway!"

Li Dongyang pondered for a moment and let out a long breath, "Okay! Let's bet like this, but instead of me going to advise tomorrow, I'm the prince's attendant, and if I say this, I have no authority to speak, and second, I am suspected of clearing the prince's guilt. ”

Zhang Yue was stunned, "Senior brother, if you don't go, then who will go to the emperor and say it!" ”

Li Dongyang's eyes narrowed slightly, "I need someone who is deeply trusted by the emperor, whose identity is very suitable for saying the words of divination, and who has no party affiliation, especially someone who has no interest in the prince." ”

Zhang Yue hurriedly said, "Where can you find such a person?!" ”

Li Dongyang smiled weirdly, "Yes, and you barely count yourself half of his protégé..."

Zhang Yue was stunned, "Senior brother, who am I and half a protégé?" I'm just a little eunuch of the Qin Heavenly Prison, I ...... Senior brother, do you mean ...... Zhou?"

Li Dongyang's eyes were determined, "Yes, it is Zhou Hongmo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites." ”

Zhang Yue thought for a while, "It's still a great senior brother, and sure enough, Uncle Zhou is very suitable!" But can we please him? ”

"Please don't move, please!" Li Dongyang picked up the shirt on the hanger next to the bookcase, hurriedly put it on, and shouted as he walked out, "Li San, go and prepare the carriage, I want to go out!" After walking a few steps, I turned around and found that Zhang Yue was still standing there stupidly, and said, "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and follow me to Zhou's mansion, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to convince him alone, you have a deep relationship with Lord Zhou, and you can help a lot." Zhang Yue woke up and hurriedly followed his senior brother.

———————————————

It was late at night, Zhou Hongmo's study was still lit with candles, Zhou Hongmo sat behind the bookcase, looking at Li Dongyang and Zhang Yue in front of him, and the two had already explained their intentions very frankly. Zhou Hongmo didn't give any response, twisted his beard with his right hand, and looked at the two calmly,

Li Dongyang's expression was very calm, his eyes looked at his nose, his nose looked at his heart, and he was silent.

Zhang Yue couldn't hold back on the side, "Uncle Zhou, you can help with this!" ”

Zhou Hongmo glanced at Zhang Yue, "The geodynamic instrument that your aunt asked you to bring over thousands of miles away, and the old man took great pains to assemble the geokinetic instrument, so you were asked to do these things?" ”

Li Dongyang remained silent.

Zhang Yue felt a stream of hot blood rushing from the soles of his feet to his head,

"Uncle Zhou, from ancient times to the present, earthquakes have brought great pain to the people, hundreds of people have died due to the earthquake, and their property has suffered losses due to the earthquake. The ground motion instrument that you and your aunt have worked so hard to develop is to simultaneously measure the situation of the earthquake, minimize the disasters brought by the earthquake to the people, and let the power of the imperial court rescue the people as soon as possible and accurately. I think you even hope that one day you will be able to develop a device that is even more powerful than a geodynamic instrument, which can accurately predict earthquakes, so that people can completely escape this terrible natural disaster. ”

Zhou Hongmo's eyes locked on Zhang Yue's face like a torch. Zhang Yue continued to say excitedly,

"I think this Taishan earthquake is the luckiest of all the earthquakes in history, because this earthquake can save a wise prince of the country from danger. How many people can be saved by a wise prince in the future, I don't need to say more, Uncle Zhou, you should know best. Therefore, I sincerely and solemnly request you. Accede to our request. ”

Zhou Hongmo's ink-colored eyes flickered for a moment, and in the end, only one piece of ink remained.

He slowly stood up, "Go back." ”

Zhang Yue was about to argue, but Li Dongyang next to him grabbed Zhang Yue and said, "The lower officials have resigned." ”

After speaking, he forcibly pulled Zhang Yue out of the study.

Zhou Hongmo looked at the backs of the two, pondered for a long time, and suddenly became dumbfounded, and muttered, "Qiao Niang, your niece is much more interesting than you." ”

Zhou Hongmo immediately called in the servants outside and said in a low voice, "Take my post and quickly invite Lord Zheng from Qin Tianjian to come, remember to take it in from the back door of the mansion, and don't make a noise." ”
