Contrary to what Xiang Deng was worried about, after Zhu Su summoned several princes and princes, he did not take a group of people to have fun and wander around. Instead, he created an open space in a mountain col of Bifeng Imperial Villa. The female soldiers from the nurse battalion were called in to help.
Then he just stayed in bed and stayed behind closed doors.
No one knew what Zhu Su was going to do, even Zhu Di and Zhu Chong were confused. However, Xu Yungong and Li Jinglong, who had studied science, vaguely guessed something.
"Lao Wu, Huo Huanbu has been brought out." King Qin Zhu Fengfeng came back in a hurry, and the guards behind him still held several boxes and cages in their hands. He asked the guards to place the cage gently on the ground and complained: "This thing is not even in the palace. It is said that in the past, Duke Chang Yuchun killed a Semu general of Yuanting and collected it from his private treasury. The good things that come out are presented to our father!"
"You don't know, when I snatched these things out of the inner treasury, the eunuch guarding the treasury looked as if his parents were dead..."
"Are you sure I won't get beaten? Dad really won't beat me, right?" When Lao Zhu's dragon belt was mentioned, Zhu Chong flinched.
"Don't worry, it won't happen." Zhu Su replied casually. He opened the box and looked at the quality of the Huohuan cloth, and nodded. If you use the fire cloth from your inner treasury to torture the literati, you must not go through formal channels to ask for it from Lao Zhu. The big news he wants to make is shocking to the world, and Lao Zhu, as an emperor, cannot be tainted in the slightest. Otherwise, if the civil servants thought it was Lao Zhu who gave the order, things would be complicated.
It's good to let Zhu Ping snatch it from the palace. Anyway, this second brother was used to being ridiculous. Lao Zhu knew that he was snatched and sent to Huangzhuang, so he wouldn't really blame him if he thought about it.
By the way, the reason why Zhu Su called Zhu Xi was to ask him to go to the palace to "replenish" some rare materials. Zhu Di, on the other hand, had appointed the Jin Yiwei, so he made the best use of it, and asked the Jin Yiwei to do confidential work in the surrounding area. Li Jinglong, Xu Yungong, and Zhu Shouqian are here to help. After all, they are the only three who have learned science earlier and can use statistical data when doing experiments.
The third brother Zhu Fan should have been asked to help. Although he learned it late, when he left Yingtian, his level was almost as different as that of Xu Yungong. It's just that for some reason, before he responded to Tian, the third brother asked himself to leave the capital and has not been able to come back yet.
"Lieh Zi" says: King Mu of the Zhou Dynasty marched against the Western Rong, and the Western Rong offered swords of Kun and Huan, and the cloth of Huo Huan. The cloth of Huo Huan, and Huan's cloth must be thrown into the fire, the cloth will be the color of fire, and the dirt will be the color of the cloth, and the fire will vibrate. It's as bright as the snow."
"It is said that this cloth is spun from the hair of fire rats. Such a precious cloth must be worth a lot of money. Your Highness, is there really a rat that can make fire in this world?" Xu Yungong asked.
"What fire rat? It's just a mystery." Zhu Su dismissed it. "This thing is made of asbestos. Asbestos is similar to minerals and will not catch fire. However, if it is inhaled into the lungs, it will be very harmful."
"Fortunately, the output of this thing is not large. If someone uses it to make clothes, I'm afraid they will get tuberculosis."
Hearing that this thing could cause tuberculosis, Zhu Fang, Li Jinglong and others quickly took a few steps back calmly. I heard that this cloth can be washed with fire, so these two guys actually had the idea of getting some to make a set of clothes. Xu Yungong also quickly closed the box, and his curiosity about Huo Huanbu disappeared.
Since learning science, all kinds of legends and secrets in the world have become more and more boring. But he enjoyed this feeling of gradually gaining insight into the world.
"If your highness is free, please visit the residence and talk about it. My mother is very concerned about your highness. I heard that your highness was stationed in Ji Town and was fighting with Naha. My mother and sister are also worried day and night." Xu Yungong had obviously been ordered by his family. The tone was a bit awkward and stiff.
"...Uh, I know this." Old Zhu Su blushed. "General Xu has not yet returned with his army. As a foreigner, I cannot come to disturb him rashly. I will definitely go and disturb him when he returns."
Xu Yungong nodded and said nothing.
With Huohuan cloth in hand, Zhu Su asked the Shen family to buy fine silk cloth. With the development of silk on the market, it is already light and dense enough, so there is no need to bother Zhu Ping to snatch the royal offerings from Lao Zhu Nei's library. Let the women in the nurse camp sew together large pieces of silk, line it with fire-huan cloth, and then call in the craftsmen who carve gold and cast cannons to create a large fire-oil blowtorch. A behemoth that transcends the times is just like this. In the secluded mountain col, something happened.
After several tests and finally confirming that the performance was suitable for use, the group of people drilled out of the mountain col. They had just witnessed an epoch-making event without anyone knowing it, so everyone's face was filled with excitement. At this time, there are only three days left before the seventh day of the Qixia Temple Cultural Festival.
Three days later, Qixia Temple.
Qixia Temple is located in Qixia Mountain and is an ancient temple in the Southern Dynasties. It is built layer by layer according to the mountain terrain, with a strict and simple layout. Its incense has always been at its peak. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, it was a tourist attraction favored by dignitaries, literati, and even merchants.
Today, in front of Qixia Temple, a majestic high platform has been built with many futons under the platform, just like the way Confucius gave his lectures in Xingtan. Although the time has not yet come, there are already many people wearing Confucian shirts sitting on the futons, with excited expressions on their faces. This cultural gathering was at the height of scholarly times, and it is said that many young scholars would be invited to the stage, and then the great Confucians would comment one by one and comment on the current Confucian scholars. Great Confucians would also give lectures in person and promote famous teachings. After experiencing the chaos of the Yi and Di invaders in the early Yuan Dynasty, this grand Confucian event on this scale was the first time in the past hundred years.
Such a grand scene naturally attracts countless Confucian students. In such a big scene, if you are lucky enough to get the approval of the great scholars, it can be said that you will reach the sky in one step, and you will be famous among scholars in an instant.
Even if you don't have the opportunity to be on stage, you will definitely benefit a lot if you can listen to the great Confucians preaching in person.
Among the Confucian scholars in the audience, there are also many supervisors of the Imperial College. They knew more than ordinary Confucian scholars, so they could not help but sit together in twos and threes and whisper.
"It is said that this literary meeting was initiated by Zhan Shangshu, Lu Langzhong, Hubu Shangshu and others. They were all the great lords of the dynasty, and they even invited the 'Three Pingyang Elders'! Such a big event The handwriting is just to show off with our Imperial College... Have you heard about it?" A prison student said mysteriously to the classmates sitting next to him.
"Why do you need to hear about it? You have already guessed it! Today, the fifth prince was forced to take charge of the Imperial Academy. Lord Yang sacrificed his life to stop him in the court, but he was dismissed from his post. How can the fifth prince know anything about famous teachings when he is still young? Did you miss me and other supervisors? Your Excellencies, Gao Xian, are worried that we and other imperial supervisors will be mistaken for you, so you organized this cultural conference, with the intention of rectifying the source and preventing us and other future national talents from being brought in by children. Wrong way...I'm afraid that the lectures in the Imperial College will not be very pleasant in the future. We must listen carefully to this lecture, so as not to miss the best intentions of all of you."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Only one honest supervisor was thoughtful. He thought for a while and suddenly said: "Is this really so? I am the hero who drove away the Tartars. He only became enlightened after hearing that the fifth prince was also a famous reclusive figure. This time he went to the north, and he was not weak yet. At a young age, he has made great achievements in battle."
"Is it really that unbearable?"
"Absurd." Someone immediately refuted it. "Don't you hear what Han Zhigui said: Only the one who rolls his name outside the Donghua Gate is a good man?"
"Even if His Majesty the Fifth Highness has some experience in military matters, it would be difficult for him to reach the level of elegance. Can't he teach us how to lead troops in the Imperial Academy? In today's world, it is about governing the world, and what is the point of mere military achievements?"
"His disciple Fang Xi spouted nonsense. It turns out that the source of his innocence is his monstrous words. How can these filthy things be allowed to infect the sacred place of the Imperial College?"
"We scholars should not be afraid of hardships and dangers. I was confused for a moment and made this misjudgment. Sirs, please come forward and hold this article meeting to clarify your own aspirations. This is what you call loyal ministers!"
What he said was righteous and solemn, and many prison guards shook their heads and shouted loudly. The Honest Supervisor thought for a moment and said, "In that case, why don't you, gentlemen, tell me directly? But you have to use such a covert method? Isn't it the opposite?"
"This..." Vincent, who spoke solemnly and triumphantly, was immediately choked. It happened that at this time, the literati and scholars began to enter the room. He hurriedly coughed: "Stop for now! All the sages are here. We must not be rude."
On the stage, a group of literati dressed in Confucian robes humbly gave way to each other and took their seats. He has a gentlemanly demeanor that attracts everyone in the audience to yearn for him.
All the scholars were sitting on high seats, waiting for the opening ceremony. With the eloquent eulogy delivered by Lu Ben, Zuoji Lang, this scholarly gathering finally officially started.
