Li Yu saw that Guangxu used pencils fluently and wrote English beautifully. As expected, someone who had practiced soft-pen calligraphy would not be able to pick up hard-pen calligraphy too quickly, just like the driver of a large truck asking him to drive a car.
Li Yu found another piece of paper, wrote down some homework questions, and wrote down some mathematical logic in a targeted manner. They were all very simple things, but they were indeed new knowledge for Guangxu.
This is the first time Guangxu has seen such a class today. The efficiency is much better than that of the previous teacher Jingyi, but he is making the same old habit again: "Such an excellent teaching method, I must promote it nationwide!"
But as soon as he finished saying this, Cui Yugui walked in and said to Li Yu, "What did you write?"
"Homework, what's wrong?" Li Yu said.
Cui Yugui glanced at it and said: "What a mess of ghostly drawings. You can make another copy and I will show it to the Queen Mother Lafayette."
Guangxu had tolerated him for a long time and said, "Cui Yugui, do you have to show your father the content of the class?"
Cui Yugui was not afraid of Guangxu at all: "You don't need to read the books in class. The Queen Mother knows that Professor Ding Hailiang brought them, but everything written by Li Yu must be copied to the Queen Mother."
Li Yu knew the situation, so he said: "Okay, it won't take long, just write one more copy."
Cui Yugui took the content that Li Yu copied again and said with satisfaction: "Okay, anyway, it's almost time. Long live the Lord, let's go."
Guangxu's role as emperor was really boring. Every move was under surveillance and he had no freedom at all.
Naturally, Li Yu and Zhang Deyi could not stay longer and followed Cui Yugui to bid farewell to Emperor Guangxu.
Li Yu and Zhang Deyi left Xiyuan directly, while Cui Yugui showed Li Yu's handwriting to Cixi.
Cixi thought about it for a while and didn't understand it, but it was indeed Western scientific content. He called Ronglu over and said, "Take it."
Ronglu said: "Queen Mother, I don't understand either."
Cixi said: "I know you don't understand, and I don't expect you to understand. But after all, I am a teacher for the emperor. You can send what he wrote to Weng Tonghe to read."
Weng Tonghe was the teacher of Emperor Tongzhi and Emperor Guangxu of the two dynasties. However, he was dismissed four years ago and returned home, and was ordered to "never be used again."
Even after Cixi returned from her hunt in the west and restored many officials to their original posts, Weng Tonghe was not again employed.
Ronglu asked: "What does the Queen Mother mean?"
"It's not interesting. I just want to show him. He has been in trouble a lot and wants to serve the court again, but I don't want to see him anymore. But regarding this matter, I think we can listen to his opinion."
Ronglu understood Cixi's meaning and said that he would never use it, which meant he would never use it. However, as a teacher of the two dynasties, let him see the level of the new teaching for the time being.
The Prime Minister Hefei is thin and the world is thin, and the agricultural minister is always familiar with the world's famine.
Everyone knows that the first half of the sentence is talking about Li Hongzhang from Hefei, and as for the second half, it is Weng Tonghe from Changshu.
After Weng Tonghe was dismissed from office, he lived in Yushan, Changshu.
Speaking of Weng Tonghe, perhaps in addition to being the emperor's teacher in the two dynasties, he is most famous for his deeds of "cleaning up the country and ruining the country".
Many of them were also political struggles within the imperial court, because Weng Tonghe and Li Hongzhang happened to be mortal enemies, and they opposed almost everything.
Weng Tonghe made many major mistakes in his later years. During the Sino-Japanese War, Li Hongzhang advocated peace, while Weng Tonghe resolutely advocated war.
However, in fact, Weng Tonghe did not really dare to deduct Beiyang military expenditures like in the TV series. Although he had a grudge against Li Hongzhang, the naval military expenditures did not go to the household department that Weng Tonghe was in charge of at that time.
There is a special naval yamen for naval military expenses, which is jointly managed by Prince Qing Yikuang, Prince Chun Yixuan and Beiyang Minister Li Hongzhang. However, Yikuang and Yixuan are basically the hands-off shopkeepers, and the real power is still in the hands of Li Hongzhang.
But Weng Tonghe is indeed the main battler. On the one hand, because of Qingliu's true nature, he must fight! It’s not my responsibility to lose!
On the other hand, because Li Hongzhang once praised Haikou and said that the Beiyang Navy was very powerful, Weng Tonghe also believed it.
After the defeat in the Sino-Japanese War, Weng Tonghe tried his best to put the responsibility on Li Hongzhang, which was uncharacteristic of an imperial teacher.
Coupled with a series of inexplicable operations during the reform movement, he repeatedly opposed Cixi and Guangxu, irritating both of them, and finally ended up with the result of "never being used".
Weng Tonghe was very excited when he saw the letter from the capital: "The Queen Mother is going to use the old ministers?"
However, after reading the letter, he was very disappointed. It turned out that it was just to let him know that Emperor Guangxu had a new teacher.
I don’t know if he was deliberately mocking himself.
Weng Tonghe looked at Li Yu's introduction again and found out that he was going to teach Western studies to Emperor Guangxu!
When he saw Guangxu learning the language of the "barbarians", he strongly opposed it. The emperor shifted his main study time to English, which made Weng Tonghe feel deeply disappointed. Master Weng, who was full of sages' teachings and had nowhere to teach them, saw that the emperor's desk was full of English learning materials. He once wrote in his diary with sadness: "It is so sad that the foreign language is so thorough in the imperial eucalyptus."
Now Guangxu not only has to learn English, he also has to learn science and weird techniques!
Weng Tonghe felt that his disciple of Guangxu was really hopeless!
Looking at the pile of "ghost drawings" written by Li Yu again, I can't understand anything. The only Chinese characters written in pencil have no artistic conception of calligraphy. They are not worthy of the position of spiritual master.
Weng Tonghe's calligraphy is indeed very good, and his calligraphy is second to none in Wanliang.
He was able to pass the first prize in the examination and his calligraphy also made great achievements, so he took calligraphy very seriously.
So at this time, Weng Tonghe became more and more angry, so he wrote a note to the court: "The guilty minister heard that the Holy Master is studying Western learning today, which is really inappropriate. Although the foreigners have strong ships and powerful guns, Western learning is also stronger, but Your Majesty does not You should condescend to learn the skills of craftsmen. This kind of knowledge can only be taught in private schools. Your Majesty should stick to the learning of saints!"
Weng Tonghe still cared about Guangxu. Although his ideas were wrong, Guangxu was often angry with him because of this. Every day, he used some of Qingliu's opinions that seemed to stand on the moral high ground to suppress him. How can a matter as big as running a country be judged morally?
After that, Weng Tonghe did not forget to write another letter to Li Yu: "It is difficult for those foreigners to be educated and elegant. How dare they be emperor's teachers? People often say that seeing words is like seeing people, but I think your handwriting is as ugly as a child's. , must be in a despicable form! Long live the deception like Kangliang who advocated Western learning!"
Weng Tonghe blamed Kang Liang for Guangxu's house arrest.
Li Yu recently taught Guangxu the basics of mathematics and physics when he had nothing to do. He laughed when he received a letter from Weng Tonghe.
However, I have to say that just by looking at the small regular script on the letter, we can see that Weng Tonghe's calligraphy is well-deserved, but his thoughts and opinions are too old.
It would be unreasonable not to reply. Li Yu had an idea and wrote an original reply in English. The general content is: "It is true that my writing is not as good as yours, but it would be too much to say that I am despicable. You can find a newspaper and read it. There are photos of me. Also, if Master Weng also wants to learn Western learning, I can teach you."
When Weng Tonghe received the reply and saw that it was in English font, he was dumbfounded!
Although he didn't want to read the "barbarian" language he despised in his heart, he still wanted to know the content. There was no one around him who could understand English. He was so anxious that he shouted wildly: "This Li Yu makes me angry!"
He was so angry that he couldn't say what he wrote specifically, and he couldn't even write a reply because of it. He could only hold his breath in his heart and couldn't vent it.
Li Yu's move is really amazing! I directly blocked Weng Tonghe's mouth. If you want to scold me back, you should first learn the Western learning that you look down upon!
At the same time, Li Yu's letter about the Three-Body Problem was also sent to Sweden.
Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
Royal Mathematical Advisor Levler received the letter and saw the letter
On the envelope, Li Yu wrote Pang Jialai's famous words about the N-body problem: "It is impossible to transcend the boundaries of the stars."
When Levler saw Li Yu's name, he immediately thought of Li Yu, who shocked the scientific community this year. It was actually the same person?
After reading the content of the letter, Levler was even more outraged. He actually gave several special solutions to the three-body problem at once, and his final remarks about the chaos of the solar system were even more shocking.
It must be shown to Emperor Oscar II!
