Chapter 35: At the end of the Ming Dynasty, hell and heaven are with each other

In the first year of Chongzhen.

February 23.

There was nothing wrong with the morning court. After the incident of the imperial court, the ministers' impression of the emperor changed drastically. They expressed their discomfort of the emperor's "royal scandal" at all times, and they were very afraid and unwilling to happen again. Being involved in the ministers will not end well.

The morning court ended in a weird situation.

Back to **, Yang Jingai said to Wang Chengen: "Big partner, remember that there was a Li Zubai person in the Imperial Heaven Supervision last time. He was a talented person. Please come to see me. I will discuss mathematical problems with him." Yang Jingai suddenly remembered that Li Zubai, the talent he found in the morning court last time, was a good master of arithmetic. Yang Jingai decided to include it in his talent plan.

"Yes, the emperor, I will send someone to Xuan now." Wang Chengen agreed.

Li Zubai was mixed with joy and sorrow at home, and waited hard for several days. What he was happy was that the emperor had a very good impression of himself and was ready to promote himself. Unfortunately, he was in the Imperial Heaven Supervision and had to transfer to other departments. It was very difficult and difficult. Worry was also worried here. He was thinking all day long about why the emperor had not summoned me yet! He thought about the emperor summoning me all day long, and what should he prepare for the emperor to make the emperor feel novel and impress the emperor, and his future would be bright. Even if he couldn't be an official in other places, the Imperial Heaven Supervision was still a yamen, right? He could still be promoted.

Today, Li Zubai finally waited for his lucky star, a little eunuch.

"This is the home of Li Zubai, Lord Li, the Imperial Heaven Superintendent?" asked the little eunuch. He seemed to respect Li Zubai very much in his words.

Li Zubai's disciple was surprised and replied, "That's right, I dare to ask this father-in-law, but I'm looking for my master."

"Call your Lord Li quickly and come out, and the emperor will announce him to the palace." The little eunuch called.

"Master, master, someone comes from the palace. He said that Master Xuan entered the palace... Master..." This disciple rushed to report his master. The master was going to be prosperous. Only those who are servants can have face and enjoy happiness. Ancient society was a typical example of "one person gains power, and a chicken and a dog ascends to heaven."

After a while, Li Zubai came out. He opened the middle door and greeted him with a big gift. He said to the eunuch: "Dadfather-in-law, please sit in there, it's not too late to have a cup of tea."

The little eunuch smiled and said in a sharp voice: "Congratulations to Lord Li, congratulations Lord Li, don't have to worry. The emperor is waiting in the palace. Lord Li should follow me to see the emperor quickly. Our family can't let the emperor wait for a long time." The little eunuch was also quite straightforward. This emperor is the biggest, and the emperor's affairs should be handled first. As for going to your house to have tea, is there any matter of the emperor important?

"Sir, please wait. I will change my clothes and come quickly with some things. Please sit in the hall." Li Zubai is not a fool, so he first gave the eunuch a silver, and then prepared to get his own "things" and prepare to bring in the novel objects presented to the emperor, so that the young master would wait at home.

"It's easy to say, please go and go back quickly. Our house will be here for a while." The little eunuch took the silver with a smile, weighed it, and stuffed it into his sleeve.

After a while, Li Zubai followed the little eunuch straight to the palace.

In Wenyuan Pavilion, although it is spring, the fire is still burning vigorously and the room is warm.

"Long live my empress Li Zubai, my husband, long live my emperor." Li Zubai kowtowed to Yang Jie seriously.

"Get up. Li Zubai, I have a deep impression of you! Give me a seat." Yang Jing was very happy to see such a talent.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your praise, I dare not take it." Li Zubai was very modest.

"Well, tell me what you have about mathematics or what superb insights." Yang Jingwei was preparing to discuss this mathematics with Li Zubai. Mathematics is the source of all science and technology! Without this mathematics, everything else is a scumbag!

"Your Majesty, I dare not say how high my knowledge is in mathematics. I just think too much, and practice makes perfect." Li Zubai was very modest: "If you really have superb knowledge and achievement, you must also be Xu Zixian and Xu Shaobao."

"What Li Aiqing said about Xu Guangqi?"

"Back to the emperor, yes, I am talking about Xu Shaobao. Xu Shaobao has foresight and great achievements in mathematics. I dare not claim to have made achievements."

"Xu Guangqi, I know that I have summoned him back to Beijing. I guess I have just received my imperial edict. Li Aiqing will meet Xu Guangqi for a while. At that time, I can ask Xu Aiqing to learn more about his skills." Of course, Yang Jing would not let Xu Guangqi go to the late Ming Dynasty. This is a great man who combines scientists, agronomists, Jinshis, Christians, mathematicians, military strategists, and weapons experts. Yang Jingqi plans to use him as a signboard. Use it well.

As he was talking, Yang Jie himself went into contemplation, leaving Li Zubai sitting there alone in embarrassment and at a loss.

After a moment of speechlessness, Li Zubai mustered up his courage and reported: "Report to Your Majesty, I have a wonderful book to present to the emperor today."

Yang Jie came back to his senses and asked curiously: "Strange books? What are the strange books?" Yang Jie thought to himself, could it be those things like "health preservation". I remember that many people in the history of the Ming Dynasty presented this kind of "things" to the emperor. If this is the case, then I can see it.

"Please read this, your Majesty, this is this." Li Zubai raised a thread-bound book over his head and respectfully "promoted" it to the emperor.

Wang Chengen took the book in the past and placed it in front of Yang Jingwei.

"Trace of Telescope"!!! Yang Jing's heart instantly made huge waves. He was still working on glass, preparing to appear in the mirror, and preparing to make money with telescopes. Now a book "Trace of Telescope" is placed in front of him. Yang Jing only has one feeling, that is, collapse.

After a while, Yang Jingwei picked up "The Talk of the Telescope", flipped through it, and asked, "Li Aiqing, who wrote this book? What is it?" Yang Jingwei was about to ask carefully.

"Your Majesty, this book introduces the man-made telescope in the Kingdom of Taixi to observe the moon. It introduces how to make a telescope. I think this mirror is on the battlefield..." Li Zubai found that the emperor seemed to be very interested in this book. The emperor seemed to be shocked by this book. He had confidence that this book could impress the emperor, and began to boldly "sell" his own book.

Boom!! This time, Yang Jing collapsed completely. Telescopes, astronomical telescopes, and cake sellers. What's wrong with this world? Why are telescopes appearing in the world now? Or astronomical ones and still observing the moon. According to the speed of transportation between the East and the West, books have been spread to the East. So the West has been used for many years?

Yang Jing felt that his blood pressure was at least 300, and his heart was beating wildly. This news was so shocking. He was preparing to climb the technology tree in the Ming Dynasty, and many of them had appeared in the West. It seems that it is urgent to introduce technology from the West. He is really a novice and an otaku.

"Li Aiqing, who wrote this book?" Yang Jingwei couldn't wait.

"Your Majesty, this book was written by Weishu and Johnson Tang. Of course, Johnson Tang was the master, and the minister was just to help translate it." Li Zubai found that the emperor had such a crazy look on this book, and immediately knew that he had been gambled right this time. The emperor had a "special" hobby for these "new" things. Just like other people in the old Zhu family, some loved carpenters, some loved playing, some did not fall in love with court, etc.

Rumble!! Another thunderclap sounded in Yang Jing's ears. Zhuo Wang, this awesome figure is also in my era? It seems that he appeared in the Qing Dynasty and is also a very awesome figure. He has also seen him in many braided scenes. This time, Yang Jing's heartbeat and blood pressure has accelerated to nearly 400.

"John Choi? Westerner?" Yang Jingying couldn't help but shouted out.

"Back to the emperor, yes, Joshua Chan is a Thai-season, which is what the emperor calls a Westerner." Li Zubai was very excited. He was a fool and should see how much the emperor liked these things now.

"This, I'm very curious about this person. Does Li Aiqing know where this person is now? I wish I could see him immediately." Yang Jing wished he had met too late! Such an awesome person would be sorry that he would not bring him under his command. He would be struck by lightning this time.

Li Zubai was extremely excited and said tremblingly: "Back to the emperor, Johnson Chan is now in Xi'an." The emperor only read the title of this book, and flipped through the book, and he admired Johnson Chan so much. It can be seen that the emperor's hobbies are these "new" things. Li Zubai guessed that he had grasped the emperor's "virginity". Isn't it easy to get promoted in the future?

"Call Tang Ruowang back to Beijing immediately, I want to see him." Yang Jingying shouted happily.

"Yes, the emperor, I have recorded it, so I will go and pass the order." Wang Chengen also saw on the side that the emperor had not been so excited since he was seriously ill. It can be seen that this person is very important to the emperor, so Wang Chengen decided to recall this person as quickly as possible.

Yang Jing gradually calmed down. Johnson Chan was still in Xi'an. It would take some time for him to come back. He asked Li Zubai what other people he knew. If he could find more people like Xu Guangqi and Johnson Chan who were proficient in Western technology, then he would not be fighting alone in the late Ming Dynasty.

"Your dear still knows who you are? And these... these..." Yang Jingwei didn't know how to describe science.

"Is the emperor talking about novel Western technologies?" Li Zubai felt that he had already grasped the emperor's "virginity" and liked novel things. Seeing that the emperor could not describe specific things, he made up for the emperor.

"Yes, yes, I know those people and know those novel techniques and deeds. You can tell me. To be honest, I stayed in this palace all day long and was quite curious about the outside world. I will tell me quickly." Yang Jing couldn't wait and became anxious. He didn't look like an emperor anymore. The 18-year-old otakus young man showed his true form.

The sky is getting darker and night is coming.

The conversation with Li Zubai is still continuing.

The pig-like elites of the Ming Dynasty showed Yang Jing a picture of hell in the end of the Ming Dynasty, and personally directed the push of Yang Jing, Emperor Chongzhen and his empire into the abyss of hell. When chatting with Li Zubai, the characters and things he talked about showed Yang Jing another side of the late Ming Dynasty, a golden road leading to heaven, a group of people facing the world, with broad thinking, active and enterprising, extraordinary insights, prosperity, full of enthusiasm and ideals.

Heaven and Hell, these two different worlds are in the same world, but not in the same world. At the same time, a group of people are directing the drama of the end of the world, while another group of people show Yang Jing a vitality, enthusiasm, enterprising, striving for knowledge, truth, and hopeful.
