Chapter 168: Trouble for Popular Science

Zhu Yuanzhang explained everything to Zhu Yunxi with the word providence, which sounded very reasonable.

Destiny is hard to disobey!

None of this can be changed.

How can a small human being be against God?

Ness!

...... Zhu Yunxi feels that he is enlightened, and in this era, many things can be explained by the will of heaven.

There is no need for reason at all, no logic, just tell others that this is providence!

He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked the last question.

"What is the relationship between Qingmo and Liu Bowen? Why did Liu Bowen send his niece to Qingmo? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his eyebrows and sighed:

"The so-called people have no long-term concerns, there must be near-term worries, Liu Bowen may be worried that the death of the rabbit and the dog will happen to him, so he sent Wen He to Qingmo."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be a little distracted, and he was silent for a long time without speaking, he pulled Zhu Yunxi to the outside of the imperial study, and then said, "Accompany the imperial grandfather for a walk." ”

Zhu Yunxi stretched out his hand to support Zhu Yuanzhang, crossed the threshold of the imperial study, and walked aimlessly in the palace.

"Actually, I don't know much about the relationship between Liu Bowen and Qingmo."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the tall trees in the palace and said leisurely:

"Back then, it was Liu Bowen who suggested that I recruit rebels and conquer cities under the banner of King Xiao Ming, and at the same time suggested that I replace King Xiao Ming.

Presumably, in this process, there was some kind of connection between him and Qingmo. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then said:

"Later, King Xiaoming sank, Qingmo didn't know where to go, I didn't pay attention to this matter at that time, the Ming Dynasty was built at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen was named Sincerity Uncle, no one knew that he would send Wen He to Qingmo."

A trace of disdain appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, and he said with a hint of mockery:

"The mediocrity disturbs himself, even if I want to kill him, how can I do it to a little girl."

This is true, the law of the Ming Dynasty stipulates that even if the door is full of beheadings, it will not let the heads of children of several years old fall to the ground...... Zhu Yunxi nodded and said:

"That must be Qingmo who pushed Liu Bowen's death on the emperor's grandfather, and planted the seeds of hatred in Wen He's heart since he was a child."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly and said lightly:

"Everyone in the world thinks that I killed Liu Bowen, and Qingmo wants to avenge King Xiaoming, so naturally he will say the same."

It's a pity that there is no proof of this kind of thing...... Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but think of Wen He's appearance again, but saw Zhu Yuanzhang looking at him, smiled and said:

"Didn't you say before, as long as you have a clear heart, even if you are pointing to it, so what?"

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other and smiled, and neither of them continued the topic.

The two walked slowly, and only a little eunuch followed from a distance behind them, and the eunuchs and palace maids who passed by only dared to salute from a distance, and then immediately retreated to a far place.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the grass and trees in the palace, and said with emotion:

"You must know that everything in front of us is given to us by the people, if we can't let them live a good life, Daming will die after all."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said:

"Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat.

Isn't the demise of any dynasty in history caused by the people's lack of livelihood? ”

"But have you ever thought about why there is a situation where people are not living well?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked a more in-depth question, but this did not bother Zhu Yunxi at all.

"Most of the reasons for this situation are that the king is incompetent, the court is corrupt, corrupt officials are rampant, and the people cannot live and work in peace and contentment at home, and the enemy cannot be rejected from the country externally, and the empire collapses with a bang under internal and external troubles."

Zhu Yunxi replied without thinking, looking at the old man in front of him, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"In fact, Da Ming is like this in the end, your great-grandchildren and great-grandchildren have finished playing with your old man's country from generation to generation."

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Yunxi sideways, and after a while, he said as if talking to himself:

"I was thinking a while ago, did you send this kid to help my Ming people?"

"Do you mean that rice?"

Zhu Yunxi asked with a grin.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Everything you did before was just a small road in the eyes of the imperial grandfather, but this time, it is a real avenue." ”

"Actually, rice is nothing, when the time comes, I will recruit Zheng He's kid to the ocean to get some corn, potatoes and the like, with these things, the people of the Ming Dynasty will not have to worry about eating."

Zhu Yunxi thought disapprerovingly in his heart, but he showed an embarrassed smile at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Grandpa Huang, you said that, it made me feel like I had been doing my job all the time."

He scratched his head, and then said:

"In fact, crops are different according to geographical location and environment, and there are different varieties, if there is a chance, I suggest that the Ming Dynasty send a fleet of sailors to the ocean, maybe you can find more food crops."

"Ocean?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled when he heard this, looked at Zhu Yunxi with interest and smiled:

"Kid, how big and far away do you think that overseas is? Is there a country like Da Ming in there? ”

That's really not easy to explain...... Zhu Yunxi thought about it, and suddenly saw the stone lion on the pillar of the stone bridge not far away, and hurriedly pulled Zhu Yuanzhang over.

"Grandpa Huang, you see, in fact, all the people in the world live on such a sphere, and I call this sphere the earth."

He pointed to the stone hydrangea that the stone lion was stepping on and said.

"Including us?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously a little confused.

"The people of the world, of course, include us."

As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhu Yuanzhang laughing, slapped Zhu Yunxi's head, and scolded in his mouth:

"Stinky boy, how about making your imperial grandfather happy?"

As he spoke, he stomped the ground under his feet, then pointed into the distance and said:

"Behold, how has our land ever been round, and if even the earth is round, how can these palaces be built?"

I'm really full...... Zhu Yunxi slandered in his heart, feeling that it was really difficult to talk about this with the ancients.

He decided to work harder, so he wanted to give this Hongwu Emperor a good science popularization, so he knocked on the stone hydrangea and said:

"For example, here is our Daming, in the far distance, that is, behind us, there is also a lot of land, and there are also various countries and people."

As he spoke, he reached out his other hand and patted the other side of the stone hydrangea.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunxi in disbelief, feeling that his grandson must have a fever, and he asked with some concern:

"Boy, do you want to send the imperial doctor to take a look?"

It's a hairy man...... Zhu Yunxi felt that he had been defeated by the ancients, he opened his mouth and took a deep breath, and said with some difficulty:

"The earth is too big, so all we see is flat land, but if you keep going, you'll be able to get back to where you are."

As he spoke, he drew a trajectory on the stone hydrangea with his hand, feeling that Zhu Yuanzhang should be able to see it clearly.

Zhu Yuanzhang really understood, he nodded slowly, and said seriously:

"So, there is a group of people living on the other side of us, but the Imperial Grandpa is curious, why didn't they fall from the earth?"

"That's because of gravity!"

Zhu Yunxi blurted out, but suddenly covered his mouth.

Because he had already seen Zhu Yuanzhang wave at the little eunuch who was following far behind him and said:

"Swift Doctor."

The little eunuch nodded at once, and ran out like the wind.

Zhu Yunxi's mouth opened wide in astonishment, looking at the back of the little eunuch rushing away, his body shook, and he almost sat on the ground.

"Yunxi, are you feeling dizzy?"

Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed Zhu Yunxi and asked with some concern.

Hehe, it's not dizziness, it's brain convulsions....... Zhu Yunxi showed a smile that was more ugly than crying and said:

"Grandpa Huang is fine, I just said nonsense, to make you happy."

"That's not right."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head categorically and said, "It must be because of your last injury." ”

Then he shook his head and said to himself with a hint of doubt: "It's strange, why does a back injury affect the brain?" ”

He was immediately furious, and scolded in his mouth:

"Quacks, it's all a bunch of rubbish!"

"If there is something wrong with Yun Xi, Lao Tzu will cut off your dog's head!"
