Although the officials did not know what the emperor saw, it was not difficult to guess from his shocked expression that what he saw must have been beyond expectations.
As a result, everyone's curiosity became even more intense.
What kind of scene is there on the moon?
The emperor was quite happy, and without waiting for his ministers to ask, he said: "The moon is extremely desolate, with almost no life at all. As far as the eye can see, it is full of devastation, with potholes everywhere. It is a completely lifeless and desolate world... …”
What?
How could the bright moon look like that?
We don’t believe it!
Seeing that the ministers were very suspicious, the emperor simply waved his hand and said, "I think you should see for yourselves."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"..."
After receiving the order, the ministers immediately became excited. They rushed towards the telescope in a hurry.
A bit noisy.
At this moment, the Chief Assistant Liang Yingzhong suddenly coughed dryly, suppressing the chaotic situation.
After that, the officials consciously sorted themselves according to their official positions and waited and watched in turn.
ah!
Above the moon...
It is exactly as His Majesty said...
The expressions of the officials at this time were as if they were carved from the same mold. Their eyes were all rounded and their mouths were wide open, and their faces were full of disbelief.
In the minds of these literati, the moon is a very beautiful thing. It is pure and elegant, just like the legendary Bai Yujing, and cannot be slandered or blasphemed.
And poets throughout the ages have taken the trouble to write it into poems and blend it into wine, creating one classic after another. They opened their mouths to the Toad Palace and closed their mouths to the Black Rabbit, expressing the poignancy and beauty of their longing in a poetic and artistic way.
But who knows, these beautiful things are actually my own ignorant fantasies.
How ridiculous does it look now?
As everyone knows, tonight's view has shaken the worldview of most people invisibly, and then triggered their in-depth thinking.
This includes the current emperor.
However, there are still a few people who still insist on their previous views.
They believe that only half of the moon has been glimpsed, not its true full picture, so it is too early to draw conclusions. Maybe those beautiful things are all hidden in the darkness of the other half?
Regarding these fallacies, Qi Yu neither corrects nor points them out, allowing them to spread the wings of their imagination. One day, they will be slapped in the face by themselves and convinced by reality.
Take it easy.
It is not easy to shake the deep-rooted traditional concepts, but this road must be taken sooner or later and cannot be avoided.

Today is the first step towards a leap forward.
"Gongyang Aiqing, what do you think of Taoism now?" After a long time, the emperor finally opened his mouth again and asked this authoritative person.
"This..." Gongyang Yucheng was confused now and didn't know how to answer.
In fact, the one who feels the biggest gap is him, an authority figure.
Moreover, he also had some self-doubts and self-denials, and he could no longer figure out his own way.
Seeing that he was deeply confused and unable to extricate himself, Qi Yu quickly stood up to help him: "Your Majesty, I have a saying: Tao can be taught, but it is not Tao; names can be named, but they are not famous. It can be seen from this that the true great road of heaven and earth is definitely not Words can express it. It seems that such mysterious and mysterious things can only be understood by each of us."
The emperor nodded and said in his heart: It is true, if everything can be explained clearly and seen clearly, then it is not the so-called Piao Miao Dao.
Thinking of this, he himself felt a lot more relieved.
After Gong Yang Yucheng came to his senses, he quickly echoed a few words. And he cast a grateful look at Qi Yu to thank him for his rescue just now.
It's a trivial matter, why bother?
Qi Dalang waved his hand and made a metaphorical gesture that they were friends.
Then he looked around again, trying to find someone in the crowd.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Yue Si, Mr. Yue Si, didn't come?"
"Oh, he claimed that he had caught a cold, so he called himself sick and rested at home."
Asking for leave?
Now that he is an old man, what difference does it make if he takes leave or not? I guess it was just a polite notification.
Yesterday, he and Li Zuoyi were mainly questioning themselves. Now that they are missing one, they seem to have no choice but to end things with the other person.
The other party raised the question first, so you must find an explanation and have a beginning and an end.
Therefore, Qi Yu found Li Zuoyi and asked him: "Master Li, yesterday I made a bold statement in the temple, claiming that I had the power to observe the sky. Can I make a conclusion on this matter now?"
The facts were before his eyes, and Li Zuoyi had nothing to argue with, so he had no choice but to make a definite admission.
However, he questioned again from another aspect: "Master Qi, in addition to the ability to observe the sky, you also said yesterday that this secret treasure can see the broom star erupting. Why not take this opportunity to Why don't you show it to everyone? It might as well be a confirmation."
Confirm?
I think you are holding on to it on purpose.
However, when he thought about it more carefully, the person he really wanted to bite was Empress Su, and he was just a roadblock for him.
The emperor didn't say anything to this, but frowned slightly.
This means, acquiescence?
All right.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Qi Yu rolled his eyes at Li Zuoyi and said, "Since Master Li wants to see it so much, how can Qi not cooperate?"
After saying these words, he walked to the telescope, then raised his head and looked at the vast night sky.
However, in this sky, how can there be any trace of the broom star?
Could it be that it has gone far away?
Seeing this, Gongyang Yucheng quickly stepped forward and reminded: "Master Qi, don't be impatient, and search carefully. The comet comes once every seventy-six years, and it lasts for fifty-six days each time, but now it only lasts two days." , will never go away."
Like This.
Then look carefully.
Finally, with Gong Yang Yucheng's enthusiastic help, Qi Yu found the area where the comet was located as he wished, and then adjusted the direction of the telescope.
Try it yourself first?
good!
Visible in the eyepiece, the comet's tail is quite conspicuous in the field of view. It grows and shortens, lights and dims, and there are vague signs of the movement of a jet coming out.
Although it cannot be seen clearly, it is still vaguely distinguishable, which is enough to explain the problem.
"Your Majesty, please take a look first!" Qi Yu hid the joy in his heart and stood up, making a gesture of invitation to the emperor.
"Okay! I'll come first!"
After saying that, the emperor stepped forward with mixed feelings of high expectations but also some trepidation.
perturbed?
Yes.
Although the bad news has been suppressed, if there is a problem with the evidence, it is inevitable that others will catch it and overthrow it.
This was something he didn't want to see.
Seeing this, Qi Yu hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, do you still have any doubts?"
The emperor was startled, but shook his head.
…
A quarter of the time it took to burn the incense flew by.
The emperor's sudden laughter broke the tranquility.
However, the emperor didn't say a word, and drove back to the palace with a smile on his face, ignoring the surprised looks of the ministers.
Why is Your Majesty so happy?
What did he see?
Want to know the answer?
Go and see for yourself!
So, the scene just now happened again, and the ministers once again lined up in a long line, and watched in order according to their official positions.
After Gong Yang Yucheng finished watching, he hurriedly walked up to Qi Yu and said, "I didn't expect that the comet really showed signs of eruption. It seems that our Chinese astronomy academics should write a new chapter."
He changed his voice and added: "Early tomorrow morning, I will write to Your Majesty to list this broom star as auspicious."
"That's very good. Then I'll help you, Mr. Gongyang."
Qi Yu smiled happily and thought to himself: Su Liu, your crisis is over, you can sleep peacefully.
