Qian Qianyi is actually a relatively complicated person.
It is true that he is afraid of death and has no spine. It is not just that the water is too cold and his scalp is itchy, as is famous in later generations.
Before that, when the Ming Dynasty fell in the 17th year of Chongzhen, Qian Qianyi secretly recommended Zhu Changxi, King of Lu, and had different opinions from Ma Shiying. When King Fu Zhu Yousong came to the throne, he was afraid of death and wrote a letter to praise Ma Shiying, which was also an example of spinelessness.
Therefore, when facing the power of Duke Xingguo, his boneless side will certainly not become boneless.
There is another side. Generally speaking, celebrity romance is just a romantic affair, and it will never lead to positive results.
However, in the 14th year of Chongzhen, when he was 59 years old, he married the 23-year-old famous prostitute Liu Rushi, which caused widespread criticism.
However, Qian Qianyi didn't care, and instead built the spectacular and gorgeous "Jiangyun Tower" and "Hongdou Pavilion" for Liu Rushi in Yushan after their marriage. The golden house hides the beauty. The two lived together in Jiangyun Tower and enjoyed reading and discussing poetry. He even jokingly called Liu Ru "Liu Rushi".
Therefore, at this time, he suddenly heard a majestic and emotional piece of music that he had never heard before. He admitted that this piece of music was good, but there was nothing wrong with it.
After all, when it comes to music, Li Xiangjun, Liu Rushi and others have definitely a very high level of appreciation. If he insists on refusing to admit it, it will turn out that his ability to appreciate is not good enough.
In these two aspects, there is no objection to this piece of music.
However, regarding the previous three questions, even if Zhang Mingwei said it clearly and eloquently, this thing is a bit unbelievable to them after all. If he and most of the people present are really convinced, it may not be possible.
It was just because Duke Xingguo had the power to suppress the whole crowd, no one dared to raise any objections.
Zhang Mingwei actually understands this difference. But he didn't care, because the trump card that would shock these rubes and make them truly aware of their ignorance was coming soon.
What a coincidence? Talking about Cao Cao? Cao Cao will be here.
Just as the voices praising this piece of music slowly died down in the courtyard, several imperial guards in golden uniforms walked in from outside.
A Jin Yiwei in the front clears the way, a Jin Yiwei in the middle is holding a box carefully, and another Jin Yiwei follows behind.
Seeing this, the people in the yard immediately thought: Could it be that the things in this box are the things that were mentioned before and were dedicated to the emperor?
So? Except for Zhang Mingwei, Zhu Yuluo and the Jin Yiwei beside them, everyone became very curious and secretly guessed, what kind of treasure is inside?
Under everyone's gaze, the military captain in Jinyi who was holding the box carefully placed the box on the table next to Duke Xingguo, then called back and said he had brought it over.
After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei turned to Qian Qianyi and said: "I guess you think you can't see or touch things like gravity? In fact, you don't believe it in your heart. Then I will open your eyes again today and prove that I don't To use force to suppress others? Let you learn a lot!"
After saying that, he reached out and opened the box himself.
Everyone was watching, and they were even more curious when they saw Duke Xingguo's movements, which seemed to be very careful.
Whether he was standing or kneeling, he forgot everything else for a moment, staring at it without blinking.
The four sides of the box can be unfolded and flattened, revealing the items inside.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were widened.
They saw this exposed treasure, which they had never seen before. It looks like it’s really weird!
how to say?
It's a bit like a shaped oil lamp, but I don't see where the oil lamp is? It's a bit like...
While they were thinking about it, they saw Zhang Mingwei turning to look at Qian Qianyi and said coldly: "You laughed at the "one sand, one world" mentioned in "Ming Pao" before, but today it will open your eyes. This " What the Ming Pao said!"
After saying that, he started to operate first.
That's right, the thing Zhang Mingwei operates is a microscope.
Regarding the telescope and microscope, Zhang Mingwei had already explained it before Zhu Cihong went to Jiangnan. Therefore, telescopes that can be used in the military were first produced, and their magnifications have been increasing. The main generals in the army are also equipped with this telescope.
However, microscopes are used for scientific research, so their importance is slightly lower. Even so, Jingdezhen has been experimenting with making it according to the drawings provided by Zhang Mingwei.
This time Zhang Mingwei took a detour to Jingdezhen because he wanted to bring this microscope. Because the microscopic world of this microscope can greatly shock people of this era.
They resisted steam engines because they could not see the future of steam engines; however, if a microscope opened their eyes, it would be different.
Although there was Zhang Mingwei's guidance and the Ming Dynasty's skilled craftsmen working on it, this microscope could not be as good as later generations.
The best optical microscope can generally magnify to 1,600 times, and there will be no problem in seeing bacteria. However, to shock people of this era, such a high magnification is not needed.
In fact, as early as 1590, Dutch and Italian eyeglass makers had already created a magnifying instrument similar to a microscope.
In addition, the most important figure in the history of microscopy, the Dutchman Leeuwenhoek, was already eleven years old when Chongzhen was sixteen years old. He began studying microscopes at the age of twenty and invented the famous Hooke microscope. After continuous improvement, the maximum magnification reached 270 times.
In 1674, he began observing bacteria and protozoa, what he called "very minute animals," and measuring their sizes. In 1677 he first described insect, dog and human sperm, and even in 1684 he accurately described red blood cells.
These achievements were all discovered by him and completed in the middle and late seventeenth century.
As for Jingdezhen, Zhang Mingwei knew the theory of microscopes and could even do calculations. Under his guidance, there were also skilled craftsmen from the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, during his trip to Jingdezhen, he got a satisfactory microscope and took it with him north.
Along the way, Princess Kunxing collected many specimens for observation and had a great time.
At this time, Zhang Mingwei had something ready-made for Qian Qianyi and the others to observe.
After he adjusted it, he said coldly to Qian Qianyi: "Come here and see what's on the glass underneath?"
Qian Qianyi naturally did not dare to refuse Duke Xingguo's order.
In addition, when he saw Duke Xing Guo being so confident, he felt a little bit like he would be slapped in the face. However, he is also very curious, and he still wants to see if there is really a world in one grain of sand?
Therefore, with a somewhat complicated mood, Qian Qianyi bowed slightly and approached. When he saw it, he opened his eyes wide and looked again. He couldn't help but lowered his head and looked again, and finally saw clearly.
Then, he took a step back and answered Duke Xingguo's words: "Gong Huiguo, it's a drop of water!"
Everyone else stared at Qian Qianyi with their ears pricked up. When they heard him speak, they felt a little strange. It was just a drop of water. What did the Duke want to do? To prove that there is a world in this drop of water?
How can this be? Crazy?
When they were thinking this, Zhang Mingwei said to Qian Qianyi: "Okay, come closer and take a look. You can see the things above in the water!"
After finishing speaking, he turned to Liu Jin and said, "Look at him!"
"Yes, sir!" Of course Liu Jin understood why Zhang Mingwei said this, and immediately took a few steps closer and stood on the edge.
Qian Qianyi looked at him with a little fear in his eyes. He wondered what the Duke meant by this.
Could it be that he was blackmailing himself? Indicating that there is a world in this drop of water?
With this thought in mind, he followed Duke Xingguo's instructions with some trepidation and leaned over to take a look.
The people in the yard stared unblinkingly, curious in their hearts, even wanting to see for themselves, what was in that drop of water?
As Qian Qianyi got closer and closer, all of them held their breath and stared with a little nervousness.
Logically speaking, if Duke Xingguo asked Qian Qianyi to do this, he must be famous! However, from their cognitive point of view, if it is not just a drop of water, what reputation can it have?
Vaguely, they seemed to have a feeling that today was really going to be an eye-opening experience, right?
Qian Qianyi moved very slowly, and finally put his eyes on the top of the thing and started looking at it.
Suddenly, Qian Qianyi looked up suddenly as if he had seen a ghost, and hurriedly avoided the thing, looking very panicked.
Liu Jin next to him had quick hands and eyes, and he grabbed Qian Qianyi like a chicken, making him unable to move immediately to avoid knocking over the microscope.
To be honest, Liu Jin is actually a bit gloating.
He knew that Qian Qianyi would be shocked. In fact, when they first looked at this microscope, they were all shocked.
It wasn't until Qian Qianyi stabilized that he let go of his hand, but he stood next to the microscope and did not return behind Duke Xingguo.
"How is it?" Zhang Mingwei saw it and asked calmly, "What did you see?"
Zhu Yurao looked at all this with a smile, pursed her lips and wanted to smile, but in the end she just smiled without showing her teeth. It can be seen that she is in a happy mood!
As for the others, they were all shocked by Qian Qianyi. What is going on? Like seeing a ghost? Isn't that just a drop of water? Is there really a world?
Thinking like this, they became extremely curious and wished they could go over and see what happened immediately.
However, Duke Xingguo didn't speak, so they naturally didn't dare. They had to stare at Qian Qianyi to see how he would answer?
