New Shun 1730

After returning to the inner city, Jiao Laobutu first took Liu Yu and the two of them to Luan Yiwei for business. There were already eunuchs from the inner palace waiting there.

Chengtianmen stood there. Liu Yu had played in the square several times in his previous life, but this was the first time he had ever crossed Waijinshui Bridge in this life.

He is white, and under the feudal etiquette system, he can only walk on the rightmost bridge, otherwise he will be trespassing.

After passing the Chengtian Gate and entering the Meridian Gate, more than twenty Wude Palace students who he had tricked into watching the excitement stood neatly in front of the Neijin Water Bridge.

There were ceremonial officers and eunuchs nearby, all of whom stood with their heads down, not even daring to fart.

You really don't dare to fart, and farting can be considered a disgrace in front of you. Not to mention looking back.

These people were considered a sudden disaster. Who could have imagined that such a big thing would happen? Even the Boy Army was alarmed and escorted to the Meridian Gate. Everyone was frightened.

Liu Yu couldn't help but think of the scene in "Domestic Lingling Paint" of queuing up and waiting to be shot. He was really afraid that someone would turn around and shout, "What are you looking at? I'm waiting for you..."

Not to mention, there was room for him and Tian Ping in that group of people, and they were in the front row.

When he passed, those who were implicated felt both fear and complaint.

But I didn't dare to speak at this time, I could only wait there, and I didn't know how many times I cursed in my heart.

After passing the Neijinshui Bridge, you will find the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

They were not qualified to go there and could only wait for the emperor outside the Jinshui Bridge.

When a eunuch saw that everyone was dead, he went inside to inform the emperor.

Not long after, Luan Jia arrived. Those who were with Liu Yu were all students of Wude Palace, most of them were descendants of distinguished nobles. Even if they were not descendants of distinguished nobles, the emperor had been to Wude Palace before, and they still knew all the etiquette.

In accordance with the Ming Dynasty, the emperor did not kneel three times and kowtow nine times, but bowed five times and kowtowed three times.

Liu Yu was very dissatisfied. He imitated Ah Q's mentality and cursed a few words in his mind, but his body honestly followed the sharp voice of the female prison officer.

"bye!"

With a bow, more than 20 people raised their hands slightly toward their heads, placed their left hand on top of their right hands, then bowed, bent their knees, and knelt on the ground.

Putting your head on the back of your hands and kneeling on your knees, this is considered a bow.

"prosper!"

He shouted again, stood up, and completed the rak'ah.

Five times in a row, it is considered to have completed the five prayers. Finally, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three more times, which was considered to have completed the three kowtows.

After kowtowing was completed and he stood up, the eunuch shouted "Kneel down!"

A group of people who had just stood up knelt down again. Let alone them, according to the records in "Ming Dynasty Records", the emperor summoned the ministers alone, and they all had to kneel down to speak and answer. How could they stand up and speak.

Liu Yu's knees hurt a little, and she secretly scolded her many times.

The stone slabs in the palace were very hard, and because of the autumn weather, I wore very little clothing, so my knees were probably already bruised.

Since the emperor was in front of him, he didn't dare to take a peek. If this were discovered, it would be another crime of disrespect.

He could only kneel on the ground with his head lowered, and his eyes did not dare to wander. Not to mention observing whether the emperor is fat or thin, whether there are moles on his face, whether one eye is larger than the other, and so on.

The hot sun behind him made his back wet. Emperor Li Gan didn't know what he was thinking, so he just sat in front without saying a word.

Li Gan looked at the group of young people kneeling in front of him. A female official had already pointed out who was the "culprit" of this sensational event in the capital.

After taking a closer look, Liu Yu, the third son of Duke Yi who caused a sensation in the capital today, looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old.

He is not tall enough, but because there is no shortage of meat in the Duke's mansion, he is very strong.

He is very tall and looks a bit like Duke Yi when he was young.

Li Gan was not prepared to embarrass these people, but today's incident could test the courage of these young people.

He had paid close attention to Liu Yu's name these days, mainly because Li Gan was extremely concerned about the "A Brief Examination of Western Countries" sent by Qi Guogong.

It is not that there are no missionaries in the DPRK, and it is not that the missionaries do not know the names of Western countries, but what the missionaries say is not the same thing as what Li Gan wants to know.

The content written by Liu Yu is also deeper than what the missionary said.

What's more important is that the context is clear, and an analysis method that Li Gan has never heard of or seen is even used.

It is not written like a biographical personal history of a family, but rather a general introduction to the context of Western countries from the aspects of people's livelihood, trade, religion and other fields.

This is the historical view and method of Liu Yu's history textbook in his previous life. In this era, it naturally has a hint of "shocking the heavens and beings".

From that booklet, Li Gan finally figured out the clear history of some countries that he often dealt with, such as the Netherlands, Portugal, France, etc., as well as why they were able to trade thousands of miles away, and what the countries followed after the great geographical discovery. A completely different path from Zhu Xia.

What the missionaries said is far from the truth, and we don’t have such a grand perspective when looking at history.

It's more like the introduction to Rome in "Book of the Later Han: Biography of the Western Regions", which is general and rather empty.

Liu Yu's macro perspective of past life habits was in line with the emperor's wishes.

Coupled with the crude but outline map in the booklet, Li Gan was convinced that Liu Yu had worked hard in this regard.

What's even more rare is that I look at things from a completely different perspective than others, and some areas that I thought were confusing before turned out to be enlightening.

The pamphlet was dictated by Liu Yu and edited by Tian Ping. When it comes to diction, allusions, writing style, and handwriting, even ten Liu Yu could not catch up. It was only after Tian Ping's modification that the emperor looked extremely comfortable.

Today's matter can be said to be big or small.

Say big.

Beyond the Hall of Supreme Harmony and standing on top of the emperor's head, what does this mean?

Peering into the Forbidden Palace from above, whether you can see it or not is another matter. Is there any treason in this?

Talk about small.

A son of an honorable nobleman, who does not follow the example of a playboy and is worried about the wars on the frontiers of his country and his country, uses what he has learned in his life to replicate Zhuge Kongming's wisdom and carry people to the sky. In the future, he can use this object to observe the layout of the city when attacking the city. This is a great achievement and his heart is commendable.

There are several children who don't know the importance of things and are too playful. No one can resist the temptation to fly into the sky. How big of a deal can a group of children play around?

The key to politics is not the facts, but how you view the facts.

Li Gan didn't mean to take advantage of the situation. Now he still needs to maintain the balance. Coupled with the lessons learned from the former Akashi Toru's entry into the capital, this matter is naturally a trivial matter.

He was even a little curious, what would it be like to go up to something that carries people up?

However, he also knew that that thing was very dangerous, and the imperial censor Yan Guan and the ministers in the court would definitely remonstrate with death.

If I really insist on going up there to experience it, I will definitely leave a comment like Ming Wuzong in the history books.

There was more or less regret in his heart, and he looked at Liu Yu who was kneeling in front of him, and finally said in a cold voice with a half-joking attitude: "You are so brave. If you dig it out, I'm afraid it will be worse than goose eggs." big?"

A tongue-in-cheek remark would sound completely different to a kneeling person.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone behind him knelt on the ground and walked a few steps. He knelt from behind and crawled to the side. He grabbed the ground with his head and said: "Your Majesty, you see clearly! We are guilty. But in this matter, we are all from the winged country." Invited by Liu Yu, the son of the Duke.

"He said in the Wude Palace that he wanted us to see a magical thing. He also said that even if Li Taibai was resurrected, he would definitely be able to recite a poem. We really didn't know what he was doing, so we just thought it was to see. It was so lively that we went to Shichahai together."

This sentence cleared up the relationship between himself and directly pointed out Liu Yu.

The female official next to me reminded him in a low voice that this was the son of Marquis Shifang and a descendant of Jiang Xiang. The name of the Marquis was also very meaningful.

Li Gan was originally in a good mood, but after hearing the words of Marquis Shifang's son, he suddenly became angry.

Before and after Tumu Fort in the Qianming Dynasty, Xungui was completely ruined, so much so that he led the generals to the capital, causing many troubles, and there was no hope for the later period.

I thought that with the Wude Palace in this dynasty, the noble heirs would at least die a little slower, but...

Looking at the son of Marquis Shifang, Li Gan couldn't help but feel that he looked a little disgusting.

I thought that this person was useless, and I would just clear everything out of anything, without any courage.

Who is behind this incident? What exactly happened? Do you still need to tell me?

Even if you get away with it, you are looking in the wrong direction, and you are really a waste.

Li Gan couldn't help but snorted and asked: "Since you know your crime, I ask you, what crime?"

"Well……"

The son of Marquis Shifang was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

Now that the Boy Army has been alerted and taken into the Meridian Gate, some things that he had not thought of before suddenly came to mind, and his heart felt cold.

But what to say?

What sin?

It is said that the Holy Master was frightened, and it is possible to spy on the Forbidden Palace?

That is knowing a crime and committing a crime, and the crime will be increased one level.

You knew there would be such a crime, but you still went along to watch the fun? And he didn't say anything to stop it. Isn't this a big crime?

If you say you don’t know?

That means you have no king and no father in your heart. You don't even think that flying to the sky is transgression, which proves that you don't have a king in your heart.

To have no king in my heart and not to know the superiority and inferiority of others is to be described as inhuman!

Not even knowing.

Don't know yet.

The son of Marquis Shifang suddenly felt wet all over his back. Just now he was just thinking about getting out of the relationship, but how could he have thought of this consequence?

At this time, it was neither knowing nor knowing. I could only say nothing and bang my head on the ground.

Listening to the sound of kowtow in his ears, Liu Yu didn't dare to be as arrogant as when he was talking to Jiao Laobutu, saying nonsense like "Da Shun Rhythm" didn't say that he was not allowed to play with hot air balloons.

I could only close my mouth tightly and say nothing.

Silence is the best way to deal with it. He is determined to test everything to the end. If he doesn't like it, he has other plans. He is really confident and has no worries.

The man next to him kowtowed for a long time, and Li Gan felt that it was almost done, so he said: "Since I can't explain it, I'll tell you where you went wrong!"

"Since that thing can fly, I heard that it also needs hot air and candles. Millions of households in the capital are all wooden buildings. What will happen if fire is accidentally dropped?"

"The capital city is prosperous, crowded with people, and people are flowing in and out. You fly into the sky, and everyone doesn't know what you are. They will think that you are a strange god with chaotic power, and they will be stampeded in panic. What will happen?"

"The three main halls of the previous dynasty were destroyed by fire and were renovated. During the Tianqi period, I relied on the Wei Dynasty to make money, which cost six million taels of silver, causing Jiubian to be in arrears. If it really burned down, even though you are a house of bells and cauldrons, who can get six million taels of silver?" One million taels? Even if you can afford it, who would dare to take it?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of people all breathed a sigh of relief.

Only the son of Marquis Shifang was stunned and his head was covered with blood.
