Chapter 312: Sacrifice to Heaven and Pray for Blessing(2/2)

When Ying Zheng saw the lunar eclipse, his first reaction was to look at Sima Wan and Li Shui in the team and nodded approvingly at them.

Afterwards, Ying Zheng began to respectfully offer sacrifices to heaven and pray to heaven to eliminate disasters.

The people in the distance had already started beating gongs and drums. They worked hard to make noise, hoping to scare away the Tengu and spit out the moon again.

The full moon became less and less, and finally turned into a crescent moon, and then disappeared completely.

The common people did not dare to neglect and knocked harder. Sure enough, after a few seconds, a side of the moon appeared, and this side became bigger and bigger, and finally returned to the entire moon.

The common people wept with joy and congratulated each other with tears in their eyes: "Finally, the Tengu was scared away..."

When the lunar eclipse is over, Ying Zheng’s ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven is also over.

However, he did not return to the palace immediately. Instead, he looked at Li Shui and Sima Wan and said, "You two have made great contributions. I will discuss them in court tomorrow and I will give you many rewards."

Li Shui and Sima Wan thanked them happily.

Ying Zheng looked at Zhou Qingchen and other question makers again, and said calmly: "The answers to the common sense questions should be corrected. Taishi Ling successfully guessed the lunar eclipse and the shape of the human world according to the round earth theory and the heliocentric theory.

It’s irrefutable.”

Zhou Qingchen bowed and said, "Yes."

Chun Yuyue suddenly stood up and said with some confusion: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty means to return these forty points to the candidates who answered correctly?"

Ying Zheng said calmly: "Of course. As for the person who gave the wrong answer, the forty points will be erased."

Chunyu Yue said eagerly: "You must not do it, Your Majesty. This is not fair. Since ancient times, what scholars have learned is that the sky is round and the earth is round. Who knows that the correct answer is that the world is as round as a ball?"

"The candidates gave wrong answers not because they were stupid or stupid, but because the ancient sages and sages misled them with their precise words."

Ying Zheng thought for a while and said calmly: "Dr. Chunyu, what you said makes sense. That's all, these forty points won't count. Let's re-organize the ranking."

Chunyu Yue thanked him with excitement.

At this time, Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui again and said: "Did you also hear what Chunyu Yue said? I now order you and your Shangjun Courtyard to compile a set of books within a month. From now on

, the content of the imperial examination comes from this book. In this way, it will be fair."

Li Shui was stunned for a while after hearing this: Isn't this a textbook for future generations? Qin Shihuang was quite capable and had a very innovative spirit.

Naturally, Li Shui did not refuse Ying Zheng's request. He fully understood the benefits of having a set of textbooks.

If you want to maintain a unified situation, it is not enough to rely on force alone. You must also rely on people's hearts. And textbooks are the easiest thing to gather people's hearts.

Li Shui was sure that if there were textbooks on fighting for guidance, in less than twenty years, the world would be able to say that the princes would stand side by side and each would be its own ruler. Even the ignorant head of Guizhou would think that this person is crazy.

Li Shui is thinking about what content should appear in the textbook.

Ying Zheng looked at the civil servants and generals around the altar and said loudly: "I am granting amnesty to the world today. Those who have committed the most heinous crimes will be allowed to return home. If after returning home, these people still dare to do evil, they will be punished for both crimes and dealt with severely.

."

The courtiers all nodded. Some praised Ying Zheng for his kindness, while others praised Ying Zheng for his wisdom.
