Chapter 10 Practice Brings True Knowledge
"Zhou Qi?"
Hearing this, King Zhenbei's face changed slightly, but he didn't ask anything more at this time, after all, it was not the place to speak.
"Little brother, come in first."
Cheng Runnian nodded, and then led the little princess in, and at the same time, the king of Zhenbei made a look, and the porter closed the door after they entered.
When he came to the front hall, King Zhenbei was polite, asked Cheng Runnian to sit down, and then immediately got to the point.
"Isn't Zhou Qi locked up in a prison now? You came because of him? What is it? ”
Cheng Runnian replied: "Returning to Zhenbei Wang, naturally I came to save Zhou Qi. ”
When King Zhenbei heard this, his eyes darkened, as if he was a little helpless, and said: "It's not easy to say, that Guanyin statue was built by Zhou Qi, but you can know that this Guanyin statue almost stoned the imperial brother to death, you don't know how much the ministers in the court quarreled that day." ”
Cheng Runnian hurriedly said: "But Zhou Qi is wronged, and the king of Zhenbei should know." ”
King Zhenbei sighed and said, "How can I not know that Zhou Qi was wronged?" Do you think the royal brother doesn't know? ”
"Don't talk about anything else, Guanyin is like a collapse, Zhou Qi can't miss a crime of dereliction of duty, let alone talk about this dereliction of duty, which almost caused the emperor to have an accident, and he was so scared that Ruoyun had lost his soul."
Cheng Runnian was not panicked, and pointed to the little princess next to him and said, "But now you have also seen that the little princess's soul loss has been cured." ”
This point, King Zhenbei actually knew it yesterday, and knew that it was this Cheng Runnian who cured it.
"But wrinkling up is a dereliction of duty after all." King Zhenbei said tangled.
This is a fact, and Cheng Runnian didn't intend to refute it, but just said seriously: "If you say that Zhou Qi's dereliction of duty has something to do with the king of Zhenbei, you also have to do with it?" ”
King Zhenbei was stunned when he heard this, and then his anger surged, and he said, "What are you talking nonsense? That Guanyin statue has nothing to do with me, and you have to talk nonsense. ”
"For the sake of Zhou Qi's face, let you enter the Zhenbei Palace, don't be ignorant!"
Cheng Runnian's face was calm, but in fact, he was panicked in his heart, the king of Zhenbei really had a life in his hands, that momentum, who could stop it from ordinary people?
However, he still pretended to be down, and saw him calmly said: "Don't worry, the king of Zhenbei is not talking nonsense, the specific reason is ......."
Speaking of this, Cheng Runnian suddenly stopped, then looked at the little princess with a kind face, and said, "Little princess, can you let me stay alone with King Zhenbei for a while?" ”
The little princess is not a bear child, nodding, and letting the old palace maid take it away.
Subsequently, Cheng Runnian opened his mouth anew.
I made my discoveries on the Guanyin lotus seat, as well as the symptoms that I went to find Zhou Qi later.
After listening to it patiently, King Zhenbei found that this matter really had something to do with him.
If he hadn't pulled Zhou Qi to eat and drink, such an obvious thing, Zhou Qi would not have been unable to find out.
"After studying this matter carefully, there is also the responsibility of the king of Zhenbei, as long as the king of Zhenbei is willing to stand up and help Zhou Qi bear it together, then Zhou Qi will at least have no worries, what does the king of Zhenbei think?"
King Zhenbei's face was ugly, and he hesitated for a while, and then said: "If it's really because of my relationship, then I naturally have the responsibility, but ......"
"But?" Cheng Runnian was puzzled.
"But, I wonder if it's really as you said, a few pillars can control the direction of the collapse of the Guanyin statue?"
"The statue of Guanyin is so heavy, how can it be moved with only a few pillars?"
Cheng Runnian was stunned for a moment, this question is really difficult for him to explain, it involves mechanics, and he can't understand the explanation of Zhenbei Wang.
After thinking about it, Cheng Runnian said: "Since this is the case, then I will prove it to you." “
"Please prepare a few sticks, ropes, planks, and a heavier stone, no problem?"
"Naturally, no problem." The king of Zhenbei answered, and then ordered people to prepare to go.
Fortunately, it is not a rare thing, and it will be found all of them soon.
Subsequently, Cheng Runnian said that he wanted to go to the backyard, after all, the front hall was full of bricks and stones, and wooden sticks could not be inserted into it.
The explanation has been explained, and the little princess naturally came back, squatting aside and watching Cheng Runnian build the plank.
Cheng Runnian explained while moving his hands: "The structure of the Guanyin statue is like this, the bottom is hollow, but the head is solid, I use a wooden board as the body below, and the stone as the head on the top, no problem, right?" ”
King Zhenbei kept watching, and he was also present when the Guanyin statue collapsed that day, so he naturally saw it, and it was the same as what Cheng Runnian said.
"There's six sticks in there, which are used to support the top stone."
As he spoke, King Zhenbei inserted a wooden stick into the soil according to the arrangement of the load-bearing pillars of the lotus platform.
"Next, let's ask the king of Zhenbei to choose a direction."
King Zhenbei pointed directly at himself and said, "It's in my direction." ”
Cheng Runnian had no objection, and then cut four of the wooden sticks with a knife to make them into two sections, and then put a piece of wood in the middle, pressed a stone, and tied the piece of wood with a rope.
"Now, four of them are broken." As he spoke, Cheng Runnian pulled lightly, and the four wooden sticks, which were originally two sections, immediately collapsed.
However, the remaining two sticks did not break, but provided the strength to correct the stone when it wanted to deviate in other directions.
In the end, the stone fell to the king of Zhenbei with unmistakable accuracy.
Of course, this experiment is too crude, and some of the details do not correspond to reality, but it is enough to prove that it is possible to control the direction of collapse by manipulating on load-bearing columns.
But at this time, it's not over yet.
"Next, try four more load-bearing columns."
I tried several times in a row, and although the general direction has not changed, the accuracy is much worse.
This is because, if there are two of the four pillars, then these two will bear half of the power, but if there are six, then they will bear one-third.
This is an important factor affecting the direction of the collapse, although I don't understand the principle, but the facts are in front of me, and the king of Zhenbei finally understands.
"I didn't expect that two more pillars would have such an effect."
"In this way, this king does have an unshirkable responsibility."
"Okay, then the king agreed, what do you need the king to do?"
Seeing that the king of Zhenbei agreed, Cheng Runnian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"At that time, the king of Zhenbei only needs to tell the truth."
The specific way to do it depends on the emperor's intentions, but according to Cheng Runnian's guess, most of them will be made public in the court.
After all, the emperor didn't want Zhou Qi to die, it was those ministers who asked for it, so naturally he wanted to show it to these ministers.
After negotiating, Cheng Runnian said goodbye and followed the little princess back to the palace, after all, he had to go to the emperor to restore his life.
In the carriage, the little princess looked at Cheng Runnian with wide eyes, and said in a milky voice: "Brother Fairy, you can sleep with Ruoyun tonight, so that Ruoyun will not be afraid." ”
