Chapter 66: A group of adults who are thirsty for knowledge

The things were quickly brought over, and Hua Houwei commanded Zhu Shanqing and the others to start making the bracket again.

The elders over there have already made a lot of noise! Xu Pu asked Xie Qian: "Yu Qiao, have you seen the osmanthus tree?" ”

Xie Qian shook his head: "The lower officials are not virtuous enough, and they only see a huge pit." ”

Liu Jian interjected: "Boss, have you seen Chang'e?" ”

Xu Pu's face turned red, coughed twice, and looked left to him: "Binzhi, what did you see?" ”

Li Dongyang was a little astringent: "Xiaguan, Xiaguan, alas, like Yu Qiao, is destined to have no chance with Chang'e." ”

Xu Pu thought for a while and said dejectedly: "The same is true for the old man!" Xixian, the old man didn't believe that you saw Chang'e, and said, what did you see? ”

Liu Jian shook his head bitterly: "Alas, I'm ashamed, I'm the same." There are huge pits all over the eyes, and all the desolation is stone. Boss, we are noble Zaifu, and we don't even have a chance to see the Moon Palace? ”

"No, no! Hum! His Royal Highness is very cunning, he made this telescope, let's go ask him! Xu Pu immediately found the culprit, and a group of menacing old men walked towards Hua Houwei.

Hua Hou Wei was concentrating on tinkering with the bracket, adjusting the position of the big and small balls, and taking out a pencil to mark the name. Suddenly, Xu Pu's voice sounded in his ears: "Your Highness, where is Guanghan Palace?" ”

"Huh? Guanghan Palace? Isn't it all in Journey to the West? Hua Houwei's mind didn't turn, and he looked at a group of murderous old men in puzzlement.

"Humph! Telescopes, telescopes! Xu Pu's angry words were not good.

"Oh, there's nothing on the moon, is there?"

"You already knew?" Xie Qian stared at Hua Houwei and gritted his teeth.

"Hey, what a big deal! Second Master, there is only a giant pit on the moon, and there is no Guanghan Palace. It just so happens that you guys are here, and I'll do it again. Look, this is the principle of the lunar eclipse experiment! Wait until I've got it done, let's talk about it! ”

A group of old men noticed the work at hand of Hua Houwei, looking at the large and small nine balls, Xu Pu asked suspiciously: "Lunar eclipse?" Isn't it Tengu Eating the Moon? What principle is not principled? ”

Hua Houwei reluctantly put down the sharp-nosed pliers in his hand: "Grandpa Xu, be a little patient, my parents and my brother's ancestors will have to watch the experiment in a while." I'll explain, okay? ”

The elders sat back in their seats, and their eyes never left Hua Houwei. After a while, Hua Houwei adjusted and began to greet everyone: "Okay, ancestors, parents, brothers, adults, let's start!" ”

Everyone gathered around, Hua Houwei pointed to the model and began to explain: "Let's talk first, if you have any questions, you will ask them later, and finish the experiment completely!" ”

Hongji snorted: "Hurry up and start, why do you say so much?" ”

Hua Houwei pursed his lips helplessly and began to shake the mechanism: "There is a big ball under our feet, I call it the earth." This is the moon, this is the sun. The earth revolves around the sun and the moon revolves around the earth. ”

"Temple... Oh, hmm, continue to continue" Xu Pu just wanted to ask, looking at Hua Houwei's eyes, he had to smile and respond.

"Alas, Grandpa Xu, I'll explain it in a moment, don't worry. Where's that? Oh, the moon doesn't shine, it just reflects the sun's rays so we can see the moon. Where there is light, there is shadow, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, shine over! ”

Zhu Shanqing used the mirror to find the right angle and reflected the light of the candle flame. The shadow of the model continued to shake with Hua Houwei, constantly changing its position. "See? At this time, the shadow of the earth blocks the sun, and the moon enters the lunar eclipse, and when the earth turns around, look, the moon is revealed again. So there are no tengu moon-eating moons, only they block each other's rays. ”

"I see!" Li Dongyang shouted in surprise: "Your Highness, is it the same for the solar eclipse?" ”

"Master Li is amazing! The same is true of solar eclipses, but the shadow of the moon blocks the sun, and we can't see the sun. It's just that the moon is the smallest and there are few places to block it, and people in different places see the same solar eclipse, some are partial eclipses, some are annular eclipses, and some are total eclipses. Hua Houwei kept shaking the model, and he also admired Li Dongyang's understanding.

Empress Dowager Zhou's brain was a mush, what moon, sun, earth? She didn't understand, so she simply didn't care anymore, and lay down on the back of the chair: "Wei'er, is this thing useful?" ”

"Yes! Not to mention anything else, what is the reincarnation of the five elements and the five virtues can be put to bed at the end of life! Whenever there is an earthquake or a solar eclipse or something in the province, my dad will pray to God. ”

Several pavilion elders blushed and pretended that nothing had happened. Hongji is happy, if that's the case, how much easier will he have to be? In the past, whenever there was a solar eclipse, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the six departments said that they would let themselves be aware of their hearts and check the mistakes in governance, which would make them miserable. So Hongzhi asked Hua Houwei with a smile: "Wei'er, according to what you say, the solar eclipse has nothing to do with the reincarnation of the five virtues?" ”

"What does it matter? Isn't it just that the literati created a set of theories to restrain the emperor? The emperor cares about the people, and the world will naturally not be chaotic. When the emperor is an ant, the world will not be good. It has nothing to do with the reincarnation of the five virtues, the eclipse or anything! ”

Xie Qian frowned: "Your Highness, the heavens warn the king, there are many records in ancient books, according to what you said, they are all nonsense of the ancients?" ”

Huahou Wei rolled his eyes: "Second Master, how do I know if you ask me?" Books are not very reliable, you can write and I can write, they have become a handful of soil, who knows who is right? Second Master, why didn't there be a warning in the Spring and Autumn Period? On the contrary, when it came to the Han and Tang Dynasties, there was one? ”

Xie Qian was speechless, not knowing how to answer. Liu Jian shook his head: "There are many books in the Spring and Autumn Period, maybe they didn't stay!" ”

Hua Houwei stopped shaking the handle in his hand, stood up and moved twice: "Lord Liu, do you believe what you say?" According to what you say, Sage Kong's words are very suspicious, why? Can't it be passed down? ”

Li Dongyang laughed: "Your Highness has a good mouth!" However, the reincarnation of the five virtues has not been mentioned in my Ming Dynasty for a long time. Well, this article has been revealed, there is always the unity of heaven and man, right? ”

Hua Houwei smiled and shook his head: "Lord Li, the unity of heaven and man actually makes sense, but it's too exaggerated. Heaven is always like this, people adapt to the environment, slowly change the environment, so there are these sayings. Let's talk about the rain, there is little rain in spring, no matter how you ask for it, he just won't rain. Autumn is rainy, begging for it, it doesn't end up. Have you ever thought about why the east wind must blow when it rains? ”

Li Dongyang was stunned, his eyes rolling. Yes, the rain blows the east wind, but why does the rain have to blow the east wind?

Hua Houwei smiled: "Because there is a sea in the east!" Where does the rain come from without water? ”

Li Dongyang suddenly said: "Yes, where does the rain come from without water!" Your Highness! Li Dongyang gave a thumbs up.

Hua Houwei shook his head: "What am I?" If you really learn everything in your dreams, huh,"

Hongji suddenly slapped over: "I've put up with you for a long time!" Did You Know? If you don't know it in Baoshan, you will be lazy! ”
