Pretending to faint is the worst thing after helplessness. After all, doing this is too conspicuous. Anyone with discerning eyes can tell at a glance that this is to hide from Huaiguzi.

So Chunyu Yue was a little hesitant and was thinking about whether it was embarrassing to faint by someone who saw it through, or was embarrassing to be asked for debt in front of the civil and military officials.

At this time, Chunyu Yue even wanted to take the initiative to meet him and promised Huai Guzi to pay back the money. But so many people around him looked at him, it was a little embarrassed. If someone knew that he had gone to Shangjun Villa three times yesterday, it would be too embarrassing.

While Chunyu Yue was struggling, a burst of torture suddenly came from not far away.

Chunyu Yue only felt that this sound was like the sound of nature, and he saved himself in an instant.

He turned around excitedly and asked loudly to the other side, "Who is making noise?"

The court officials looked at Chunyu Yue with some confusion: When will Dr. Chunyu care about this?

Chunyu Yue became very interested in the sound of torture, walked over excitedly and asked a little eunuch standing next to him: "What's going on?"

The little eunuch bowed and said, "Report to the master, yesterday Ji Ming said that the lunar eclipse would not come, so he was punished and beaten with a hundred rods."

Chunyu Yue nodded.

In the past, he had no interest in such things at all. But now is different from the past. Chunyu Yue walked to Ji Ming quickly and said earnestly: "Ji Ming, whether in officialdom or in the palace, you must keep in mind the words of being cautious in your words..."

Chunyu Yue was long-winded and kept delaying time, instilling some great principles of caution in Ji Ming.

Ji Ming lay on the ground, getting beaten up while thinking in pain: Being beaten is already miserable enough, why do you still have to be ridiculed by such people?

Li Xin, not far away, shook his head and said to Li Shui: "Did you see it? Chunyu Yue is a little crazy as a teacher."

Li Shui nodded and said with deep consent: "It's pitiful, so pitiful."

Chunyu Yue finally delayed the time until the court discussion began. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and followed the officials slowly towards the Political Affairs Hall.

On the way, Fusu asked Chunyu Yue with a puzzled look: "Master, why did you say so much to Ji Ming today?"

Chunyu Yue smiled slightly and said, "Although Ji Ming is a eunuch and has a low status. However, when his teacher saw him today, he would inevitably have to post a few words on his behalf. Confucius said, "There is no difference in teachings. No matter who, no matter how high or low, you should learn some principles."

Fusu said with admiration beside him, "Master is indeed a great scholar of the world, and his realm is extremely high."

Chunyu Yue stroked his beard with satisfaction.

After everyone arrived at the Political Affairs Hall, they saluted and knelt on their seats.

According to convention, Wang Wan stood up first and talked about some issues in governance. The ministers made a brief discussion. After Ying Zheng nodded, they formed a series of decrees.

Chunyu Yue was listening carefully at first, but soon, his mind became a little numb.

After all, I didn’t sleep all night last night and didn’t eat today. I just stood outside the Constitution Hall for a while in the cold wind.

At this time, Chunyu Yue was extremely hungry and cold, and was extremely tired. He couldn't sit still.

So he quietly stretched out his arm and pressed it on the small table. After a while, this could not relieve his fatigue, so Chunyu Yue slowly lowered his head...

Later, he simply fell asleep on the small table.

The others didn't notice Chunyu Yue, but Fusu saw it clearly. He was startled and quietly reached out and pulled Chunyu Yue.

Chunyu Yue suddenly woke up, raised his head and saw Fusu looking at him in shock.

Chunyu Yue's face turned red. He taught others etiquette all day long, but he fell asleep in the Political Affairs Hall. This is not right.

He coughed softly and said in a deep voice: "I am just thinking about it."

Fusu nodded skeptically.

At this time, the issue of governance was over. Ying Zheng proposed to reward Sima Wan, the Grand Historian, and the exiled Xianhuai Guzi.

The ministers knew the reasons for rewarding these two people.

Sima Wan accurately predicted the lunar eclipse, which was a great achievement in itself. And he was confident that he could predict every lunar eclipse in the future, which was indeed a great achievement.

Huaiguzi is the proposer of the theory of earth and the theory of heliocentricity. Without these two theories, Sima Wan could not predict lunar eclipse at all.

Therefore, yesterday's lunar eclipse was actually the common contribution of Sima Wan and the Exiled Immortal.

On the night of the lunar eclipse, the emperor personally prayed for peace and stability in the country. Therefore, the Qin Dynasty was stable, and Sima Wan and the exiled immortals had great achievements.

Ying Zheng gave Sima Wan and Li Shui a first-class title and a reward of tens of thousands of gold.

Sima Wan was extremely excited and her hands were trembling when she bowed. Although titles and money were fascinating, what he valued more was His Majesty’s attention to him. Once he got His Majesty’s favor, his future would be brighter.

As for Li Shui, he looked calm.

Title? Do I need a title to prove myself as a stunning person? Money? Am I still short of money? But... size is an honor, so Li Shui also thanked him.

At this time, Ying Zheng suddenly asked Sima Wan curiously: "Can you tell me in detail how this lunar eclipse was predicted?"

Sima Wan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked at Li Shui nervously.

Li Shui nodded with a smile.

Sima Wan said to Ying Zheng as if she had a reassurance, "Your Majesty, I need two balls, one big and one small."

Soon, the little eunuch brought two balls of thread over, which were indeed one big and one small.

Sima Wan ordered people to close the doors and windows, striving to be dark inside the Political Affairs Hall.

Then he lit the light, pointed at the light and said, "Your Majesty, this thing can temporarily replace the sun."

Then, Sima Wan held the big ball with one hand and the small ball with the other, slowly rotating around the lights, simulating the trajectory of the earth and the moon.

The ministers widened their eyes in surprise and silently watched the shadow of the earth falling on the moon, forming a lunar eclipse.

This kind of astronomical phenomenon is actually a layer of window paper. After being pierced, everyone can figure it out. If it can't be pierced, there will be no answer if it is pierced.

After Sima Wan finished the simulation, the little eunuch removed the lights and opened the doors and windows.

The Hall of Political Affairs has restored its light, but it is silent inside. It is obvious that many people were shocked.

After a long time, a Confucian scholar shouted: "Absurd, ridiculous."

Sima Wan was stunned and said a little aggrievedly: "Where is ridiculous?"

The Confucian scholar gritted his teeth and said, "It's ridiculous. What you have never heard of is all your thoughts. The world is so huge, how can you simulate it with a ball of thread?"

Sima Wan was a little helpless. He was too lazy to argue. Since knowing the laws of the movement of celestial bodies, Sima Wan felt that she had transcended. Everyone looked like a fool, and she was too lazy to reason with them.

At this time, Ying Zheng said quietly: "So, you have boasted about Haikou before and can predict whether there will be lunar eclipse in the next few years, which is the method?"

Sima Wan replied: "Yes."

Ying Zheng's expression was a little strange: "In other words, there is no Tiangou in the sky? This lunar eclipse is just a shadow of the human world covering it?"

Sima Wan said, "Yes."

Ying Zheng looked a little uneasy: "There is no Tiangou? So is there an immortal?"

As soon as this statement was made, many court officials were shocked: Yes.

In the past, Huai Guzi was so arrogant that he was banished by the name of a banished immortal, and no one dared to do anything to him. After all, this guy must live well and refine alchemy for His Majesty.

But now, something that seems to be difficult to justify.

According to the court officials' previous understanding, the world is a chessboard layer by layer.

Mortals live on the bottom chessboard, while immortals are on the top. Mortals can enter the second level and live the life of immortals through hard work, whether they seek immortals or refining elixirs, as long as they can ascend, they can enter the second level and live the life of immortals.

But now, what Sima Wan found completely confused them.

Is the world just a big ball? Mortals live on this big ball? Our sky is actually boundless darkness. The sun and the moon are just small highlights that emit light, embellishing this darkness?

Where is the immortal? Are the immortals absent?

The court officials suddenly realized that they had never been able to bring down Huai Guzi, but today, Huai Guzi was trying to die and came up with a reason to kill him.

When Sima Wan heard Ying Zheng’s question, she immediately realized that something was wrong, and he immediately felt a cold sweat.

Sima Wan looked at Li Shui.

Li Shui smiled slightly, stood up and said, "Your Majesty has no worries, there are still immortals. I am the exiled immortals who come from the fairy world."

Ying Zheng asked, "Where is the immortal?"

Li Shui thought for a while and said, "In the past, the present are called the universe, and the four directions are called the universe. Therefore, this universe refers to all time and space."

Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui with a confused look on his face: "What does this have to do with the immortal?"

Li Shui said again: "In the fairy world, there is a saying, called the multiverse. Or... called the plane. In the plane, everything forms its own system. However, after tearing the plane and shattering the void, you can enter the other universe."

Li Shui bowed and said, "I came from another plane."

Ying Zheng nodded slowly, his expression became much better: "So that's it."

Many court officials frowned and felt a little incredible.

Soon, the smart man Wang Wan raised a question: "Since everything is in the plane, there are no immortals on the mountain and in the deep sea? Then why do the exiled immortals still have to make great contributions and send alchemists to look for immortals everywhere?"

The others were all excited. They felt that the exiled immortal had many loopholes today and they must beat the dog in the water.

Unfortunately, Li Shui calmly said lightly: "These multiple planes are not separated from each other. It's like a bubble, we live in one of the bubbles. And the two bubbles are often in contact."

"The place where this contact is called the boundary point. This boundary point often appears above the mountains and in the deep sea. Through the boundary point, you can enter another universe and see immortals. Although this situation is rare, none of them. If you encounter it occasionally, you will gain great results."

Zhou Qingchen flattered: "So that's it. Today, I suddenly felt enlightened after hearing what the banished immortal said."

Li Shui said with a smile: "So, I ordered those alchemists to climb mountains and go out to sea. One of the purposes is to hold the possibility of one of the ten thousand. What if I really look for the immortal? The second purpose is to observe the terrain and find minerals by the way. Why did the Qin Dynasty expand its territory?"
