Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 120 Guozixue... Hemisphere Experiment!
February 2, the dragon raises its head!

Although the first month of the year has passed, the lively atmosphere in the capital has become increasingly intense.

Especially including Jixian Road, including all areas of Jiangning and Shangyuan counties, the two most popular edicts these days are those two imperial edicts.

The Chaojingyuan is too big. Although it involves the treasures of thousands of households, new banknotes will not be issued for a while. Of course, the most discussed ones are still the Su family and his son.

And as more and more people spread the word, it was linked to what happened in Yingtian Mansion and Fuya last time, and everyone involved was also Yourong Yan. And this attracted more attention to the "Gewuyuan".

"The Su family is a father and son. Do you think there has been smoke coming out of the ancestral graves in their family since the Kongyin case? How long has it been since then? Father Su's imperial edict has come down. From a ninth-grade micro-inspector , go to the Fifth Rank Courtyard to control the country's financial resources! You are envious of others!"

"Hey! That's not the smoke coming out of the ancestral graves. It's because someone's son is born with a vision. Others rely on the virtuous virtues of their ancestors, while his family relies on their children and grandchildren to accumulate blessings."

"What are children and grandchildren accumulating blessings? Who doesn't know that it was all because Su Xian entered the main hall and somehow got along with the emperor's eldest grandson? Tsk tsk... Today's emperor loves his grandson even more, and this is how their father and son reached the sky in one step. ! Otherwise, he would have become a dead soul in the Kongyin case."

There is a heated discussion among the people. Some people like to say compliments, while others have a pair of discerning eyes and can see through everything. After revealing this fact, they seem to be unfathomable.

As soon as the last sentence came out, other people quickly agreed.

"Nonsense, the emperor's eldest grandson will certainly not be worried about his trip."

At this moment, Qin King Zhu Ping looked around and immediately shouted to stop them from greeting each other. Then he looked in a certain direction and said with a smile: "We haven't had such a big battle yet, so we can still let the pro-army Duwei Mansion clear the way." .”

Some people held a notice in their hands, which attracted people nearby and started talking about it.

Su Xian, Chang Sheng, Chang Sen, Zhu Xiongying and others were in the same carriage. The royal carriage was so big that it would not be a problem to accommodate eight people of their age.

"Su Xian, we're here."

Finally, in Su Xian's field of vision, the carriages he and others entered directly entered the gate of Guozixue. Here, a vast free area had been left for him and others, as if they were waiting for him.

"Is it possible that the Imperial Palace is really an imperial edict? Anyone who has a thorough study of the principles of heaven and earth and the laws of all things can enter the Imperial Palace and stay with his eldest grandson without reading the scriptures and meanings?"

Not far away, there are carriages and horses like dragons, and the surrounding imperial troops are clearing the way. There were already soldiers wearing iron armor, standing three steps apart, all the way to the gate of the Guozixue.

"Yes! If I could make good friends with my eldest grandson, who would be a fifth-grade envoy now? I would have become a minister long ago."

These people rarely leave the palace. Seeing such a lively scene now, they immediately puffed up their chests and thought to themselves that they must not make any mistakes today.

"Don't welcome us first, wait a minute..."

As soon as these words came out...

"And this question, the power between heaven and earth!"

"Welcome to all the princes and eldest grandsons of the emperor!"

"I'm coming!"

"The Holy One is here!"

Everyone seemed to have remembered something and turned pale with fright.

at last……

The idea just came to my mind.

At this moment, listen to the discussions of people around you.

In front of the mountain gate of Guozixue, the Qinhuai River flows in the distance. Behind the mountain gate, you can vaguely see the rolling Purple Mountain.

"This is so simple. Normally, I don't like reading. I thought there was no hope, but I didn't expect God to open a back door for me. I'm afraid I will become an extremely powerful minister!"

A group of students from the imperial dynasty have been waiting in front of the gate of Guozixue for a long time. Among them, there are even elegant and knowledgeable masters.

Some people whispered, but most people diverted their attention.

Is it possible that today, during the Jingzhe season, the so-called Gewuyuan is recruiting new members, and we can still see the Holy One...

As soon as he got off his horse, there were cheers of welcome all around.

After that, a group of officials from the imperial court came out of curiosity. After all, even if the emperor did not issue any official posts about the matter of Gewuyuan, the imperial edict was the imperial edict, and no one cared about it.

When they got off the carriage, King Qin and others had already dismounted.

Come all the way.

"No, these people seem to be people from the pro-military captain's mansion, right? Why are they still allowed to clear the way?"

Not long after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he greatly expanded Guozixue. Now it can be called the gathering place of geniuses in the entire Ming Dynasty!
Today, on the official road to Guozixue, people stood in two rows, like two long dragons, walking together in the direction of Guozixue. Along the way, people stopped and talked, and laughed from time to time. , extremely lively.

Although these words are very bold, they appear in the middle of almost every crowd discussion.

Further back, people poked their heads out of the carriages and looked curiously at the students from the main hall around them, and at the very back, there were even the father-in-laws from the Imperial Prison.

"Who says otherwise? After making friends with the eldest grandson, a fool can rise to the top in one step. Those people who followed His Highness the Crown Prince are now also handling state affairs in Zhan Shifu, and they will definitely become extremely popular ministers in the future!"

"Today all the princes and grandsons of the main hall are coming to study at the Imperial Academy! They say they are going to recruit the first batch of new people for the Gokuyuan, but I don't know whether they will be teachers or students?"

"The Queen has arrived!"

"His Royal Highness is here!"

With a shout of extreme surprise, in an instant, the crowd all looked in a certain direction.

"So this Gewuyuan... As long as we enter, we will definitely be the next Su Guiyuan! We can even become the Prince's Master or even the Emperor's Master in the future!"

At the front were a group of galloping horses. Princes such as King Qin and King Jin rushed in the forefront, followed by Xu Huizu, Chang Mao and Li Jinglong.

They all looked in a certain direction. Some of them seemed to have been waiting here since last night, just to see the emperor's eldest grandson.

Three chants sounded in succession, and in an instant, the people standing on both sides of the street, crowded with people, seemed to have been pushed down by something at this moment. They were stunned at first and stayed in place.

Although there was an announcement before that the Gewuyuan was recruiting new people today, which had attracted the attention of thousands of people, it did not say that the Holy Emperor, the Queen, and even His Highness the Crown Prince would come in person!

And if they come, then the officials of the country...

Sure enough, I looked towards the back again and saw the carriages of the two prime ministers one after another, following the emperor's chariot. And further behind, at the beginning of the Book of Rites, all the officials of the imperial court who were free today seemed to be here. .

"Welcome Your Majesty!"

"Welcome to the Queen...Welcome to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

At this moment, the sound that shook the clear sky resounded all around the Guozixue. The sound gathered like a dragon's roar and seemed to resound to the sky.

He waited until the emperor's chariot arrived at Guozixue.

Led by Bei Qiong, the scholar of the Imperial Academy, the other students, including doctors, business administrators, academic administrators, professors, etc., also knelt down to greet him.

"Hahaha!" Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the chariot.

"You don't have to be polite, we would have come in previous years, but we came a little earlier this year. However, taking advantage of the Waking of Insects, we are here today to see if the students from the highest university in Ming Dynasty are diligently studying and cultivating their virtues. "

"Everyone get up!"

Hear the words.

Everyone came back to their senses from the shock. Zhu Yuanzhang was right. He valued the education of the country very much. Within a year, there would be many irregular exams for them at Guozixue. .

Sometimes even during the Sutra Banquet, on a whim, I would simply come to Guozixue and take the Sutra Banquet examination questions to test a group of students.

If someone answers well, they will really reach the sky in one step and directly enter the court.

The students originally thought that they came today just to follow the route of the emperor's eldest grandson, to see if they could imitate the starting path of a "Su Yuan Envoy", but they never expected that even His Majesty would come in person!
If they were very energetic before, now they are very energetic and full of energy.

"Your Majesty, please move the rack inside." At this time, Bai Qiong, the wine-sacrifice guest, invited.

The latter's hair is white and sparse, and his face is wrinkled, but his eyes are full of energy. Although he seems to be seventy years old, his mental state seems to be better than that of some people in their fifties next to him.

"We'll talk about it later. The focus today is on them."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and pointed at his grandson and others.

You must know that he knows very well that apart from these students today, the most important thing is the craftsmen who came over after hearing about the study of objects.

This is the first time the new year has started, and the first thing to do is ring in the sky.

What Su Xian said was so exciting, they also wanted to see what kind of medicine this kid was selling in his gourd!

Although everyone had already speculated about this, but now they really saw His Majesty attaching such importance to it, they couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, secretly thinking that this was indeed the case.

What exactly does the science of physics do? If it is really to explore the truth of heaven and earth for the emperor's eldest grandson, isn't this move taken too seriously by His Majesty?
Behind him, many officials were also making guesses in their minds, but they quickly sat down at the invitation of the doctors around them.

The news that the emperor's eldest grandson was coming to study at Guozi came as early as the end of January. Although they couldn't prepare much in such a short period of time.

But the most basic seats are still ready, but there are too many saints and officials, and they, like doctors, can just stand aside for the time being.

After a while, students brought in tables, chairs and benches... until they were almost done.

Zhu Yuanzhang took his seats with his ministers.

There weren't many pleasantries, and no initial testing.

After everything was settled, Zhu Yuanzhang looked forward and signaled: "Let's get started!"

All the ministers looked in the direction of the emperor's eldest grandson. Since the Holy One said that the emperor's eldest grandson would be set up to build a palace.

So of course it won't be the emperor's eldest grandson who is at the helm personally. After all, the latter is only five years old this year. I'm afraid he is a certain gentleman from the main hall...

Mr. Li? Or Mr. Fang?
Or which one of the three elders of Guoxian?
Or Master Song?

however.

Just when they were thinking this, they saw the direction of the gathering place of the main hall. A small figure walked out of it and stood at the center of the main hall, which was exactly where everyone gathered at the moment.

See this scene.

Those who had already prepared in their hearts were fine, but those who were not prepared opened their eyes wide in astonishment and felt thousands of waves in their hearts!
However, there was still a wink after all. They wanted to shout and ask, but when they saw the unsurprised looks from His Majesty, the Crown Prince and others, they could only suppress the horrified expressions in their hearts.

Su Xian walked out and shouted to everyone:
"Today is the time of Jingzhe, and the new people are recruiting new people. This new person does not refer to new students, but every new person who enters the Qingzhe Academy."

"There is no distinction between status, poverty, wealth, household registration, age or strength!"

After the four indistinguishable words were spoken, in an instant, at a glance, there was silence among the crowd.

At the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the policy of household registration was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The nobles were nobler than ordinary people, and the nobility was superior to others. Farmers and craftsmen were the most common members, and merchants were the lowest!

Although I originally made some guesses when I saw the word "Gewu", I never expected that today's first sentence would be so shocking!
"Your Majesty!"

At the same time, the ministers who had been observing looked at Zhu Yuanzhang one after another, but they couldn't help it. Just because they didn't expect that someone would say such things openly. This is intended to provoke people's hearts.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised, obviously he didn't even expect it.

However, when he thought about what he said at the beginning, "no taboos", this boy actually remembered it in his heart.

"This is a study of physical studies established for our grandson. While he is still young, we can help him understand the laws of heaven and earth. There is no distinction between high and low in the selection of candidates. Anyone with virtue is welcome!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and did not want to say more at this time.

Su Xian, on the other hand, didn't know what they were thinking. He looked at the uproarious discussion around him and gave a few simple explanations.

Just change the topic.

"Gewu has been announced for a long time. I believe you all know that this is the first time we are recruiting new people to explain the power between heaven and earth."

"Why can't people fly in the sky, but why can birds fly in the sky?"

As soon as this question came up, someone shouted: "Why else? Birds have wings!"

"Why do chickens have wings, but they can only fly in the sky for a long time?"

“The chicken is too heavy!”

"Why do some birds fly fast and some birds fly slowly?"

"Heavy ones fly slowly, and light ones fly fast!"

"Why do falcons fly faster than butterflies, orioles, and magpies?"

now.

Before Su Xian could ask a question, someone would rush to answer.

The Guozixue students around seemed to have been waiting for a long time. I don’t know if he is deliberately causing trouble or causing trouble.

Immediately after Su Xian answered the question, he said loudly:
"Is this what Gewu studies are about? We really don't understand, what's the use of studying these?"

Su Xian looked around and his tone gradually became gloomy.

"If you think it's useless, don't come to Quwu Study. If you want to come in, just listen to these questions carefully."

After he finished speaking, he ignored the angry people and just continued to speak, but this time, the problem was obviously much more difficult.

Those who were clamoring for answers just now fell silent instantly.

"Why do rocks sink to the bottom of the water, and why do wood float on the water?"

"Why do thrown objects always fall to the ground? But every time when water is boiled, the water mist only goes upwards?"

"Why can an arrow fly fifty or even a hundred steps when it is shot? Why can the same bow, without an arrow, only fly thirty or even ten steps at most?"

At this moment, every time Su Xian asked a question, the originally noisy voices around him became quieter.

By the end, almost everyone was looking at Su Xian.

Some students seemed confused and said angrily:

"This is a common phenomenon, what's the reason? The rules of heaven and earth are here!"

"The study of things is the rules of heaven and earth!" Su Xian said.

"Today it's just the simplest strength. From now on, anyone who enters the Gewuyuan will have to study..."

"Is there really a thunder male and a female lightning in this world? How do rain, dew, frost, snow, thunder and lightning come from?"

"Why is there day and night, and why does the sun always rise in the east and set in the west?"

"In "Two Children Debating the Sun", is the sun closer to us in the morning or at noon?"

Su Xian went from shallow to deep. The first few questions would only make the students around him a laughing stock.

Then the second stage problem has already made them frown.

The problems in the third stage were enough to make them think: Su Xian is here to cause trouble!
"There is a righteous God in heaven and earth! He is in charge of the wind, snow and thunder in the world..." Someone scolded: "Studying these is disrespectful to the gods!"

Behind Su Xian.

All the gentlemen in the main hall looked at each other in disbelief and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

What they suffered in the past, these people today are about to become their confidants.

However, at this moment, Su Xian's attitude was decisive and terrifying.

"If you want to enter the Gewuyuan, you must make a thought first!"

While speaking, Su Xian glanced around and said loudly:
"Once you enter the realm of objects, there will be no immortals or gods in the world from now on!"

brush!
As soon as these words came out.

The atmosphere that was cheerful just now suddenly became deserted.

Everyone who heard it opened their eyes wide at this moment.

Discovered for the first time.

Today's investigation of things seems to be far from as simple as they thought.

However, Su Xian's voice continued to ring out, making their minds shaken again!

“It is better to pray to God and Buddha than to pray to yourself!”

"From now on, I am my own god!"

Swish!
At this moment, beside Zhu Yuanzhang, several courtiers stood up and said, "This son... has such great courage!"

But they had just been listening to various rumors about Su Xian outside. Even in the first empty seal case, they had no idea how Su Xian persuaded His Majesty. They had rarely seen Su Xian's true performance, but now that they saw this scene, they all became serious.

Even Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang, who were sitting at the head of the group of ministers, couldn't help but raise their eyes to look.

Today, everyone thinks that this is the door where they come to "investigate things"!
But only they knew that the Holy One had another purpose for coming here. And they took this opportunity to come and meet this so-called Qilinzi.

“Just in terms of courage, it’s beyond imagination!”

Hu Weiyong spoke for the first time, and instantly, the atmosphere among the officials became more solemn.

And below.

A group of students also reacted one after another.

"How can we answer these?"

Seeing this, Su Xian smiled slightly. "So these questions should be explored only after truly like-minded people enter the Gewuyuan."

"And today, the real test question is..."

With that said, Su Xian looked aside.

Eunuch Gao, who was in the inner palace, immediately cheered up, waved his hand, and soon carried out the things prepared for this time with a group of eunuchs.

When two extremely thick brass pots appeared in front of everyone, they were stunned.

Su Xian, on the other hand, first put them together and turned them into copper balls, and then put them down directly. They immediately turned into two halves and separated on the ground.

When everyone is confused and puzzled.

Su Xian continued: "Next, you will see an experiment."

"Two solutions!"

"First, whoever can separate these two pots will be admitted to the Gate of Objects!"

"Second, whoever can analyze and explain the reasons can also be admitted to the gate of objects!"

talking.

Su Xian looked at Eunuch Gao, and with the gesture in his eyes, the other party quickly took action.

Su Xian continued:
"The name of this experiment——"

"Guozixue...hemispheric experiment!"
