While Lao Zhu and Han Du were talking, An Qing heard the sound and came.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father, Emperor Jin An. I pay my respects to my brother," An Qing said with a smile.
When Lao Zhu saw An Qing, a smile suddenly appeared on his face and he said, "An Qing, you look a little haggard. Are you working too hard?"
Zhu Biao stood next to Lao Zhu and smiled and nodded towards An Qing, indicating that he had seen him before.
"No." An Qing blushed and quickly changed the subject: "Father, this is very narrow. Why don't you go down and let me talk to your father properly."
Lao Zhu chuckled, raised his finger and pointed at the telescope, and said: "No need, I came here specifically to see this thing today."
An Qing took one look and smiled immediately: "Father, this is a good thing."
"Oh? What's so good about this thing?" Seeing An Qing say this, Lao Zhu became more than curious.
"This is a treasure. You can see the moon." An Qing emphasized the word "baby" and couldn't help but give Han Du a warning look when he spoke.
"The moon, can't you see it by raising your head?" Zhu Biao raised his head curiously.
It's still dark now and the moon can't be seen yet. Even if it's dark, there may not be a moon, it still depends on the weather.
Seeing that Zhu Biao had misunderstood, An Qing waved his hands and said, "No, brother, this thing can see everything on the moon clearly, but it's not what we usually see when we look up."
Zhu Biao suddenly laughed curiously, and smiled and said: "What is there on the moon? Is it the 'White Jade Capital in the Sky, Twelve Cities on the Fifth Floor', or is it the Jade Rabbit and Chang'e?"
It's said without intention, but it sounds intentional. After hearing Zhu Biao's words, Lao Zhu's pupils shrank obviously violently, but he was very deep and did not show it at all on his face. Even Han Du, who was standing in front of him, didn't notice anything strange about Lao Zhu.
An Qing covered his mouth and smiled, and said with a smile: "Brother Huang knows Chang'e, is sister Jingyun worse than Chang'e?"
Zhu Biao was immediately embarrassed. Only then did he realize the slip of the tongue.
But before Zhu Biao could speak, An Qing continued to shake his head and sighed: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint my brother. There is neither Bai Yujing nor Chang'e on the moon. There are only bumpy areas, and not even a tree can be seen. It's desolate." very."
"How could this happen?" Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao asked in unison. After all, the moon has given the world too many imaginations since ancient times, and countless poignant stories all originated from the moon.
But now I heard An Qing say that the moon is not as beautiful as people imagined. It is only full of desolation without any life. This is difficult for Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao to accept in any case. It is like seeing a stunning beauty under a filter. The 360-degree exquisite beauty with no blind spots makes you salivate, but when you see the real person, you still can’t stop. Not as good as a passerby.
The contrast between this is simply excruciatingly uncomfortable. Even the contrast the moon gives people is even greater than this.
Han Du glanced at An Qing, the silly lady, and asked her to continue speaking. He didn't know if he would reveal everything about himself.
He quickly stepped forward, looked at An Qing with a smile, and asked, "Why are you here?"
An Qing was even more rude to Han Du. His right hand naturally reached for Han Du's waist, pinched a piece of waist flesh, and said with a smile, "Father and brother are here, how can I not come?" Woolen cloth?"
Han Du instantly felt as if a hot charcoal fire was covering his head, and he gasped in pain while grinning while carrying Lao Zhu.
Of course, An Qing's movements could not escape Lao Zhu's eyes. After a while, seeing that An Qing had no intention of letting go, he raised his hand and coughed twice.
An Qing then let go of Han Du and retracted his hand. Seeing the emperor's brother staring at her with confusion, she quickly turned away and said: "It's getting late, I'm going to prepare some food and drinks for my father and brother. Handu knows these things better than me, let him give them to my father." Explain it."
He turned around and left the attic.
Han Du stretched out his hand and rubbed his waist a few times. After his face became better, he turned back to look at Lao Zhu and smiled forcefully.
Facing Han Du's eager eyes, Lao Zhu deliberately pretended not to see anything or know anything. Then he asked: "Is this moon really what An Qing said?"
When Han Du saw that Lao Zhu didn't make the decision for himself, he suddenly looked a little depressed and replied in a neutral tone: "Of course. It seems that the weather is very good today. If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can wait until tonight to see with your own eyes."
"Of course I can see it." Lao Zhu nodded and put his eyes on the telescope, very curious about this thing.
He raised his hand and touched the huge barrel of the telescope and asked: "It's also a telescope, why do you want to make it so big?"
Han Du quickly stepped forward to explain and said: "Your Majesty, the farther the distance, the harder it is to see clearly. A few miles is enough for an ordinary telescope, but it is far from enough to see the moon."
Lao Zhu immediately understood what Han Du meant, and couldn't help but asked curiously: "You mean, the moon is far away from us? How far away?"
Han Du nodded and said, "I have calculated it with the students in the academy before. It is about 770,000 miles."
"Is it so far away? Didn't it say that the distance between heaven and earth is 84,000 miles?" Zhu Biao took a deep breath and looked at Han Du in surprise.
Han Du said patiently: "The ancients said that the sky and the earth are 84,000 miles apart. This is just a statement that the ancients took for granted. It is almost like a fantasy. In fact, the ancients had no means to truly measure how far away the moon is from us."
"You mean, you have a way to measure it?" A hot light flashed in Lao Zhu's eyes. Throughout the ages, many capable people have looked up at the moon in the night sky, eager to understand it, but they have always been helpless. It can only leave some popular poems in vain to express people's imagination about the moon.
But Han Du actually had a way to measure the distance of the moon, which shocked Lao Zhu.
Han Du didn't think much about it, and said casually: "Although I have no way to accurately measure the distance of the moon, it is still very simple to roughly measure it. Geometry in mathematics has such a method, it is simple It’s just a matter of solving trigonometric similarity problems.”
Mathematics Lao Zhu has read it, but he has not studied the geometry part carefully, so he was delayed due to busy government affairs.
Zhu Biao also chose the same excuse as Lao Zhu, and when Han Jingyun asked him to learn mathematics, he vowed: "With a math master like Aifei as good as me, why should I learn mathematics? If I have a problem, I can find Aifei. No. Isn’t it all a problem?”
Han Jingyun just took Zhu Biao's ecstasy pill and actually believed him.
...
While the three of them were chatting, the night completely darkened.
The sky is full of stars tonight, and it’s a good time to observe the stars.
Lao Zhu looked up and saw the stars coming out, so he interrupted the chat between Han Du and Zhu Biao and asked: "Can you see it now?"
Han Du quickly walked over, nodded and replied: "Okay, but the position of the broomstick is different every day. It will take me a while to find it."
Lao Zhu stretched out his hand to signal Han Du to help himself, and stood aside quietly waiting.
Han Du immediately walked to the telescope, adjusted the angle according to the angle of the broom star, and slowly looked for it. It didn't take much effort for Han Du to find it.
"Your Majesty, I found it." Han Du raised his head and said to Lao Zhu with a smile.
Lao Zhu suddenly became happy and asked excitedly: "You found it so quickly? Where is it?"
Walking to the telescope, Lao Zhu occupied the position that Han Du had given way to, imitating Han Du's previous posture, and looked into the small mirror hole.
Han Du's voice rang in Lao Zhu's ears: "In the middle of the circular sight, at the upper left side of the film. There is a white spot. If you look carefully, you should be able to see the tail of the broom star. It's just not very obvious. It’s just not easy to tell.”
Unexpectedly, as soon as Han Du finished speaking, Lao Zhu, who was looking at me, said: "I saw it, I saw its tail, it is indeed a broom star."
Lao Zhu looked at it for a moment and saw that the broom star seemed to be floating in the sky motionless, so he lost interest and raised his head.
Seeing that his father had finished reading, Zhu Biao couldn't suppress his curiosity. He quickly raised his hands and said to Lao Zhu: "Father, I don't know if I can let my son take a look."
Lao Zhu immediately took two steps back to make way for his position, and stretched out his hand to signal Zhu Biao to come forward and watch.
Zhu Biao followed his father's posture and looked into the mirror hole. Under Han Du's soft pointing, he quickly saw the broom star. After a while, Zhu Biao also raised his head with a satisfied expression.
After all, seeing the mysterious stars so clearly for the first time was a unique experience for both Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao. But as time goes by, and the broom star seems to be almost stationary, it will make people feel boring, and the excitement will quickly return to normal.
Lao Zhu glanced at Han Du and asked thoughtfully: "The broom star has always been regarded as an ominous sign, and I won't hide it from you. This time, it was indeed Qin Tianjian who reported to me that a broom star was about to appear. It indicates that a disaster will happen in the world, and it should be Li Shanchang."
Han Du sighed when he heard this. When he watched the TV series before, he was very confused about why Lao Zhu killed Li Shanchang. Some people say that Li Shanchang was rejected by Lao Zhu in the third year of Hongwu and endured it for twenty years before killing him. He was already a Ninja Turtle. Some people also say that it was Lao Zhu who gradually became violent and crazy after the death of Queen Ma, and that was why he attacked Li Shanchang. Some people also say that Lao Zhu started to clean up the high-ranking ministers so that Zhu Biao could sit in the river.
But now it seems that these reasons are not valid. First of all, although Lao Zhu holds grudges, he usually avenges them immediately. It is impossible to delay Li Shanchang for twenty years as speculated. Secondly, now that Queen Ma is still alive and well, Lao Zhu is different and still wants to kill Li Shanchang?
Finally, there was Zhu Biao. Everyone underestimated this fat man. Han Du dared to say that Li Shanchang was no match for Zhu Biao. From the first day when Zhu Biao became the prince, he was specially arranged by Lao Zhu to listen to politics in the court. Even ordinary people know that it has been difficult to become a prince since ancient times. Doesn't Lao Zhu, who is well-read in history books, know this? The reason why he wanted to take Zhu Biao with him to listen to politics despite his young age. The purpose is to tell everyone that Zhu Biao is the heir to the Ming Dynasty and the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
In this way, it will not only dispel the unwanted thoughts of other princes, but also contribute to the harmony between their brothers. Moreover, it can also give a clear signal to the officials that Zhu Biao is the future emperor. Everyone does not need to think about choosing a side, they can all stand by Zhu Biao's side. The most obvious benefit of this is that the officials will no longer be suspicious of each other and internal conflicts, and can focus all their energy on governing the Ming Dynasty.
Lao Zhu did this after careful consideration. Therefore, he spared no effort to support Zhu Biao, and even stuffed any good things into the East Palace.
And is Zhu Biao afraid of Li Shanchang? Not afraid at all. Zhu Biao has been in charge of government for more than ten years and now oversees the country. Over the past decade or so, Zhu Biao's position has been firmly established.
But Li Shanchang has been retired for many years. Although he still has many disciples and former officials in the court, he has definitely not reached the level of being able to cover the sky with one hand. After all, he is only one of the five great princes of the Ming Dynasty, and each of the other four princes is no worse than him. Even Tang He's prestige is even greater than that of Li Shanchang.
With four enemies against one and such a good chance of winning, why should Zhu Biao be afraid of Li Shanchang?
What shocked Han Du was that the reason why Lao Zhu wanted to kill Li Shanchang was not that he was related to Hu Weiyong, nor that he had ever colluded with Hu Weiyong and conspired to rebel. These were just excuses.
The real murderous intention turned out to be the most ridiculous and impossible celestial phenomenon!
For a moment, Han Du didn't know whether to say that Lao Zhu was cunning and scheming, hiding his purpose in the most unlikely of circumstances. Or maybe he cares too much about the Zhu family dynasty and is unwilling to let the Zhu family dynasty take any risks, just because of a celestial phenomenon that is not conducive to the Ming Dynasty. Even if he is a prince, Lao Zhu can kill for the world to see.
Seeing this, Han Du solemnly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the celestial phenomena are just celestial phenomena and have nothing to do with people. Although this is a broom star, it would be too ridiculous to say that this celestial phenomenon should be on Li Shanchang."
"Oh? Is that what you think?" Lao Zhu glanced at Han Du noncommittally and asked lightly: "What reason do you have to explain that this celestial phenomenon has nothing to do with Li Shanchang?"
Han Du immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this broom star will appear every seventy-six to seventy-nine years. Isn't it true that every time there is a disaster, there is someone who promises it?"
"How do you know that a broom star will appear every few years?" Lao Zhu couldn't help but ask.
As soon as Han Du saw Lao Zhu's expression, he knew that no one from Qintian Prison had reported this matter to Lao Zhu. That's right, after all, this is the Qin Tian Supervisor's ability to watch the family's meals. If it is leaked to the emperor, how can they continue to deceive the emperor in the future? How to continue to enjoy the imperial salary safely?
"Your Majesty, I only need to read the history books to find out." Han Du smiled faintly and opened his mouth to give an example: "There are records in the history of the Yuan Dynasty that in the eighth month of the fifth year of Emperor Chengzong of the Yuan Dynasty, the comet came out of the well at twenty-four degrees and forty minutes, such as The big star of Nanhe, white in color, five feet long, goes straight to the north. Later it was Wenchang Doukui. It swept the sun in the south, then swept the Beidou, Tianji, Ziweiyuan, Sangong and Guansuo. The star was more than ten feet long and reached the Bashu area of Tianshiyuan. In the east, south of Liangchu, on the Song star, there was a foot long, and it was destroyed in forty-six days.
It is exactly seventy-seven years ago. "
"The last time the broom star appeared was in August of the 15th year of Jiading, Emperor Ningzong of the Song Dynasty. The history of the Song Dynasty records that the comet was seen on the right side of the sky, with a light of more than three feet. without.
It was exactly seventy-nine years since the last time. "
"The last time the broom star appeared was in April Wuyin, the fifteenth year of Shaoxing, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty. Song history records that the comet appeared in the east. Bingshen appeared again in Shendu. In May Dingsi, it turned into a guest star, and its color was blue and white. Renxu stayed in Zhang and sold it to Dinghai in the sixth month.
It was exactly seventy-seven years since it last appeared. "
"The last time it happened was in the third month of the third year of Emperor Yingzong's reign in the Song Dynasty. The history of the Song Dynasty records that the comet came out of the camp and saw the east in the morning. It was about seven feet long. It pointed to the dangerous tomb in the southwest. It moved eastward quickly and fell in the near future. To the Xinsi, see the southwest at night, there are stars in the north, no radiant comets, benefiting the east, there is a white air, about three feet wide, running through the purple micro pole stars and staying in the house, the beginning and the end enter the turbidity, benefiting eastward, passing through Wenchang and Beidou Go through the tail. By Renwu, there is a bright star again, more than ten feet long, more than three feet wide, pointing to the northeast, after five chariots, the white air is Qi Hengtian, across the Beihe River, the five princes, Xuanyuan, Taiwei and the five emperors are sitting in the five The princes and Jiao, Kang, Di, and houses stayed. In Guiwei, the comet was five feet long, and the stars had comet energy like a rising vessel. They camped and stayed until Zhang, where they stayed in fourteen houses for sixty-seven days, and the star energy was all destroy.
It was exactly seventy-eight years since the last time. "
"The first time the broom star appeared in the Song Dynasty was in the seventh month of the second year of Duangong, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty. The history of the Song Dynasty records that there was a comet coming out of the east well and the water in the west. It was bluish white and its light became longer. It appeared in the northeast in the morning and ten days later. , Seeing the northwest at night, I took photos on the right side of the calendar, and on the 30th day, I finally disappeared.
It was exactly seventy-seven years since the last time. "
What Han Du said can be found in history books and is not just talking nonsense.
Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao are familiar with history books and have seen these records in the past. However, they did not pay attention to how long it took for the broom star to appear. Instead, they regarded the year when the broom star appeared as the year of great disaster. This was simply putting the cart before the horse.
But now that Han Du was mentioned in this way, and the two of them made some calculations in their minds, they suddenly looked at Han Du in surprise.
"It's really like this. How did you do it?" Lao Zhu looked directly at Han Du.
Han Du said with a smile: "I just summarized a pattern based on historical records. If the emperor continues to investigate higher up, he will be able to clearly see the pattern of this broom star appearing in the world."
After hearing this, Lao Zhu lowered his head and rubbed his fingers, looked up at Han Du and asked in a deep voice: "Did Qin Tianjian predict that a broom star will appear this year based on the pattern of the appearance of broom stars?"
