The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Yan Chengjin looked up. In order to make the library majestic, each floor was extremely high.

Although there were only five floors, Zhu Youju was only the size of a palm in his field of vision.

"Don't jump!"

Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao looked at Zhu Youju expressionlessly and incited: "I didn't expect that King Ru would be forced to such a fate."

Zhu Youju's heart tightened slightly. He was different from Zhu Chenhao. They were brothers from the same father!

He shouted, but the wind was too strong above, and Zhu Youju didn't hear it clearly at all.

More and more scholars gathered under the library, wondering why the people above didn't jump?

If King Ru jumped down, wouldn't it mean that he didn't invite him...Yan Chengjin quickly ordered Zhang Xian to bring the ten fishing nets prepared in advance.

I expected the princes to jump into the river, but I didn't expect them to jump off the building.

But it's not a big problem and can be used.

"Sir, the fishing net is here, what should we do with it?"

"We also need quilts, go get them!"

Soon, the yamen runners arranged the fishing nets and quilts and spread them out under the eaves of the library.

Zhu Youqi wanted to throw down the 100-liang stone and copper plate.

The yamen runners stood under the eaves holding the big net.

"Get out of the way!"

Yan Chengjin heard Zhu Youqi shouting, but couldn't hear what he was shouting.

He just raised a big stone, and the yamen runners below were scared and ran around, cursing.

"You can't retreat. You have fishing nets and quilts, and you can't be killed by them." Mou Bin ordered.

Whoosh, the ground was full of people again.

Fengtian Palace,

The Jinyiwei spy ignored the eunuch's obstruction and ran into the palace quickly: "Your Majesty, it's not good. Prince Ru was stimulated and stood on the Liangxiang Library, wanting to jump off the building."

Emperor Hongzhi was suddenly shocked.

Putting down the memorial, he walked down the imperial steps and said to Xiao Jing beside him: "Prepare the carriage, I will leave the palace now."

"I will go too."

Liu Jian and others reacted and followed Emperor Hongzhi out of the palace.

The carriage galloped quickly on the Beijing Road.

There were more merchants coming and going, and the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce built a straight road leading to the capital.

The four horses galloped at full speed and arrived in Liangxiang in less than an hour.

Yan Chengjin saw Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jian and others wearing Confucian clothes coming.

"Your servant Yan Chengjin..."

"What's going on? Why did Prince Ru climb up the high building and jump to his death?" Emperor Hongzhi was quite reproachful.

According to the spy, I don't know what Yan Chengjin said to Prince Ru.

In a hurry, the Prince of Ru moved a big stone and climbed up to the library.

Yan Chengjin was ashamed. This spy dared to report falsely: "The Prince of Ru wanted to take the Liangxiang engineer exam, but I didn't allow it. The Prince of Ru was dissatisfied, so I asked him a question.

Who knew that after listening to it, he climbed up the tall building."

Everyone became curious, what was the question?

Seeing that the Prince of Ru didn't jump for a while, Emperor Hongzhi asked: "What question?"

"One hundred taels of silver and a copper coin fell at the same time, which one landed first?"

"One hundred taels of silver!" Emperor Hongzhi blurted out.

"Of course it's one hundred taels of silver, even a fool can do it, but the Prince of Rong will climb the building after hearing this question? I don't believe it!"

Liu Jian said anxiously.

Seeing Yan Chengjin's expression as if he was looking at a fool, Li Dongyang was suspicious: "Did he answer it wrong?"

"Mr. Li is right, they landed at the same time."

The faces of Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jian darkened. If you say so, I will climb up too. Isn't this fooling people?

One hundred taels of silver is heavier, so it will naturally land faster.

"I'm going to jump!"

The crowd suddenly got excited.

Zhu Youjie walked to the edge of the eaves and looked down.

The copper coin was too small, so even if it fell to the ground at the same time as the stone, it was not clear...

He broke off a piece of glazed tile from the eaves and threw it down. With a clang, it was visible.

However, it was not possible to tell which came first, so someone had to watch from below.

"Hou Zhao, help the eleventh uncle move a book. It has to be heavy."

Zhu Houzhao stood at the edge of the window and asked in confusion: "Why are you jumping off the building with a book in your arms? Will you be reborn as a scholar in your next life?"

You will be reborn!

Zhu Youjie didn't have time to be angry with Zhu Houzhao, so he urged him to go quickly.

The people below all thought he was going to jump off the building. Zhu Youjie knew that the Jinyiwei was hiding behind the window. If he went to get it himself, he would definitely be caught on the spot.

Zhu Houzhao ran to pick up a book, the University, which he hated the most. Old Gao often used it to give lectures.

Zhu Youqi threw the book down, but found that it was easily blown up by the wind, so it couldn't even land on the ground.

He thought about it and borrowed a silver ingot of ten taels from Zhu Houzhao.

"Hou Zhao, the eleventh uncle asks you for a favor, go down and see if the stone and the silver landed at the same time?"

If an ordinary person were here, he would definitely think Zhu Youqi was a fool.

But Zhu Houzhao was not an ordinary person. He thought that the stone was heavier and should land first.

But King Ru said that they would land at the same time?

Zhu Houzhao was refreshed and said happily: "I'll watch for you, don't smash me."

Under the eaves of the library,

Everyone raised their heads, their necks were sore and painful, and tiles and strange things kept falling. Did this person go up just to smash things?

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath and said, "Tell him I'm here, let him come down."

"I sent someone to report it, but your king ignored it."

Soon after, Zhu Houzhao ran down and saw Emperor Hongzhi, and instinctively shrank his head.

"Father, Uncle Eleven wants to try it, let me watch him."

"Nonsense! Try to jump down and see if you will become lame?!"

Yan Chengjin understood that Zhu Youqi was really stubborn and wanted to prove it by throwing stones.

"Your Majesty, please withdraw all the people. Your Majesty will come down soon."

"Yan Qingjia, this matter cannot be taken lightly!" Emperor Hongzhi's eyes became serious and became extremely serious.

"Your Majesty and the others, don't you want to know which one will fall to the ground first, one hundred taels or one copper coin? Just look at your Majesty's attempt and you will know."

After this stone is dropped, the physical development of the Ming Dynasty will advance by a hundred years, right?

It will take another hundred years for Galileo to do the experiment of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jian held their breath and stared at the object in Zhu Youqi's hand.

Zhu Youqi took a deep breath, walked to the edge of the eaves, held his hands flat, and let go at the same time.

A black shadow and a piece of silver fell down, and in an instant, they hit the ground.

Almost, they hit the ground at the same time.

Emperor Hongzhi and the ministers were dumbfounded, looking at the big stone and the ingot of silver in front of them.

The weight was so different, but they fell at the same time.

Zhu Youjie, holding his skirt, rushed down from the fifth floor and rushed to Zhu Houzhao, asking seriously: "Houzhao, who landed first?"

"Almost at the same time." The difference was too short for Zhu Houzhao to see.

Half an hour later, in Liangxiang Yamen,

Emperor Hongzhi sat in the Yamen, with Zhu Youjie and Zhu Houzhao kneeling below him.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang stood on the left, Xie Qian stayed in the cabinet on duty, and Yan Chengjin stood on the right.

"I thought you were going to jump off the building, and you came from the palace, and you showed me this?!"

Zhu Youjie was terrified: "I never thought that I could attract Your Majesty."

"I think that your king has made a contribution this time. If not, I am afraid that we will be confused for a hundred years." Yan Chengjin pleaded for him.

The prince jumped off the building, and His Majesty came out of the palace to watch.

Presumably, it will be recorded in the history books by the historians?

In this way, the Qingshan Library experiment will also be recorded in the history books.

Emperor Hongzhi scolded Prince Ru and brought Zhu Houzhao back to the palace.

Yan Chengjin said to Prince Ru: "Your Majesty, I believe I won this time?"

"Well, I want to be an engineer more."
