I am the king of the dead

Song Taizu made two promises in the past when he released the military power with a glass of wine. The first is to show great kindness and show his sincerity. Cao Yue is about marriage, there is no suspicion between the monarch and his ministers, and the upper and lower are in peace'.

For more than three hundred years in the Song and Song Dynasties, nearly [-]% of the empresses of the emperor of the Song Dynasty were all from the general family.

Wang Fu's face was calm, he knew that this was just the beginning.

"Wang Yushi." A slightly old voice interrupted Wang Fu's meditation.

Chapter 8 and Three

The entire Kang country called Wang Fu Duke of Kang, which was a kind of respect. Even in the official documents, Wang Fu's name was avoided, and he was referred to as Duke of Kang.

Chen Xun, an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, was probably the only one who still called Wang Fu Wang Yushi.

Chen Xun came to Wang Fu on crutches, looked up and down, and after sitting down, he said in a low voice, "Your Majesty is sending a letter to ask about Wang Yushi's recent situation."

Chen Xun's expression was a bit complicated, and his perception of Wang Fu was even more complicated. He knew how attractive the taste of power was. After securing the throne, still loyal to Daming?

What is power?

Power is an extremely precious resource that everyone pursues.

Power exists in every person, and in every relationship, and it is a resource that spreads among those who need each other.

People are always chasing power unconsciously, because those who hold power can control the fate of others.

Power is to use one's own strength to gain a respected position, and after gaining more support, one can gain greater power.

With the right to kill, one is bloodthirsty;

With the power of administration, it is domineering;

With the right to save money, you can collect money for private use;

Even with a little power, the county government servants, tax collectors, and officials' entourage can all show off their might.

This is the attraction of power.

Chen Xun met a 'family' who was a county magistrate. This family lived in a city that was either rich or expensive, but the county magistrate's family was the only one who looked up at people with their nostrils and wore soap clothes and top hats.

Most of the people who wear soap clothes and high hats are low-level officials, and they don't have much power to make people overwhelmed, but this family member can use their nostrils to see people.

A group of celebrities and elegant scholars in Confucian robes all nodded and bowed to this family member, but this family member must be invited to all poetry gatherings. Not right, because the owner of this dog is the county magistrate.

This is true in the city, and it is also true in the countryside.

When Chen Xun was in charge of the local area, he also saw villains in the village acting as the head of the village, causing disasters to all towns and villages, domineering, no one can deal with them, these villains will transform themselves into village sages in time, find two scholars Write two genealogies, get some family precepts, and write a few big characters of goodness and trustworthiness on the front door, and you will become a good person and 'benefit' one side.

That's the perk that comes with power.

Wang Fu is not the head of a village, let alone a family member of a county magistrate. He is the recognized king of the forty provinces of Zhejiang and Dakang.

"It's the minister's fault to make His Majesty worry. I'll take a break from the banquet today, so I'll write an apology." Wang Fu was stunned when he heard that His Majesty was passing the letter by the pigeon, and he said hastily.

Chen Xun hesitated and said: "With a sharp weapon in your body, you will kill yourself. If you want to kill, there is nothing more convenient than Wang Yushi. With the Wu army in hand, the military power is in hand, everyone respects, and billions of trillions support it. You don't even need to say who you want to kill. Just one look is enough."

Killing people can establish prestige, this is a method that has been tried and tested for thousands of years.

Wang Fu smiled and said, "Master, are you referring to the Jingguan in Samarkand? Violence is a bit violent, but the person who died was not from Daming. I don't care. If he dies, he will move here. Daming what?" There are few, but there are many people.”

Chen Xun was silent for a long time after hearing this high opinion, and then said: "The one who died was not from Daming, alas, old, old, young people are really full of vigor."

Chen Xun originally wanted to stand in the perspective of someone who had experienced it, and persuade Wang Fu to cultivate benevolence, but Wang Fu persuaded Chen Xun by saying that the person who died was not from the Ming Dynasty.

Da Ming's defenders always stand on the high ground of morality and point out, but there must be someone who must be the price for many things. Don't let the foreign barbarians be the price, let the ordinary people of Daming be the price?

"Chen Xueshi was joking." Wang Fu replied with a smile. Compared with Chen Xun, Wang Fu was really too young.

Chen Xun's warnings are actually good intentions. Those who love others will always be loved by others; those who respect others will always be respected by others; those who kill others will always be killed by others.

After the banquet, Wang Fu wrote a very long memorial, handed it to Duntai Yuanhou, and sent it back to Daming.

It has been two months since Zhu Qiyu received Wang Fu's memorial, that is, in the middle of August. Of course, the news of Wang Fu's safety was sent back to Daming a month ago.

Zhu Qiyu was reading the latest translation of "On World Empire". Naturally, the book requested by the emperor was translated in the fastest time. On the other side was the original Latin version, which Zhu Qiyu could read without hindrance.

In the translated version, a lot of content related to imperial power has been cut and optimized.

Dante, the author of "Divine Comedy", wrote this political philosophy work in Latin. As an Italian, Dante did not write in Italian colloquialisms, for the sake of spreading.

Dante would also write in Italian colloquialism, since he had a book on colloquialisms, the De la Vernacular, and The Banquet, which was written in colloquial Italian.

The main idea of ​​the first volume of "On World Empire" is: human beings need unity and peace, and for the common interests of the world, it is necessary to establish a world empire to rule the world;

The theme of the second volume is that the carrier of this world empire should be the most noble Romans. This is also a common understanding of Taixi, so there are so many people who claim to be Roman Zhengshuo;

The third volume is similar to the Jedi Tiantong that was completed in the three generations of the Central Plains Dynasty. The kingdom of the gods returns to the kingdom of gods, and the secular world returns to the secular world. It opposes religion to control everything. All power comes from God, not the agent of God in the world. --religion.

For Ming Dynasty, the first and second volumes are very meaningful. It is true that a world-class empire should be established for the sake of world peace and development; Just become a Daming person.

After all, Ming Dynasty and Rome have similarities in many aspects such as inland seas, straits, polytheism, unicameral system, farming, senate and people, and secularization.

Therefore, it is only necessary to replace the Roman search in the second volume of "On World Empire" with Daming, and it can be perfectly replaced, because the description and imagination of Rome by Dante are completely consistent with the Ming people.

Zhu Qiyu gave the highest instructions to the Ming version of "On World Empire", and added some unique elements of the Ming Dynasty, such as the discussion of Sifang, Liuhe, and the land of the eight wastelands. Then he picked up Wang Fu's memorial and read it seriously.

After Wang Fu regained Herat, he continued to fortify and strengthen Herat, and then returned to Samarkand. When he arrived in Samarkand, Wang Fu made a major event and abolished feudalism.

"Wang Fu is dancing on the tip of a knife. Isn't his life his life? If he is not careful, he will die in the Western Regions." Zhu Qiyu became more and more worried about Wang Fu's safety. No less heaps, a common deterrent.

Zhu Qiyu is not in the Kang country, he doesn't know what kind of pressure Wang Fu is facing, so he doesn't make any judgments on Wang Fu's behavior, even if one day Wang Fu really bites his teeth and really dominates the Kang country, and no longer treats Daming If he bowed his head and proclaimed himself a minister, Zhu Qiyu would also be willing to gamble and admit defeat, order troops to quell the rebellion, and arrest Wang Fu to personally ask him what he thinks.

Xing'an pondered for a while, and said quite accurately: "Wang Fu is the Duke of Kang who was bestowed by Daming. If Duke Kang died in the Western Regions or in the Kingdom of Kang, as long as it is not a good death, and there is something unclear, Daming must Revenge is a good way to respond."

"Thinking about it, Wang Yushi is also well prepared for this."

Most of the marquises of Duntai Yuan in the Ming Dynasty were prepared to repay the king with death, and Wang Fu was also a marquis of Duntai Yuan, and he was no exception.

Zhu Qiyu glanced at the Kanyu map hanging in the imperial study room and said: "Wang Fu himself is good at martial arts, and the dungeons and marquises are all elite soldiers. As long as they are not encircled and suppressed by the army, they can still come back. But even if we want to avenge Wang Fu, we have to get through it." The road to Kang Guo is."

On the ground in the Western Regions at this time, the obstacle between Da Ming and Kang Guo is the direct influence of Da Ming in the Western Regions, which is still too low.

Among the seven countries in the Western Regions, only the Tubo Kingdom, which also belonged to Yemilihuo, belonged to it.

Zhu Qiyu said to Xing'an: "Let Jiang Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, hand over a memorial to discuss the affairs of the capital in the Western Regions."

After the establishment of the Western Regions Capital Division, Ming Dynasty will dispatch troops to the Western Regions, relocate people and households, pay and pacify the bandits who do not accept Wanghua, and turn the Western Regions into the Western Regions of the Ming Dynasty. This is the beginning of everything.

"Your Majesty leads the order." Xing'an took the order. He replaced His Majesty's tea with new tea, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, there have been more and more criticisms in the capital about whether the air has weight."

Ever since Xu Dun, Bei Lin, and Wan Jieli proposed that the atmosphere has weight, so the water can only be pressed to ten feet, and the mercury column can be pressed to two feet, three inches, seven-and-a-half centimetres, there has never been a discussion about this in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. stopped.

There are even two Hanlin academies who want to use recognition of the weight of the atmosphere in exchange for more preferential treatment for scholars and scholars from the imperial court.

The atmosphere has weight, and atmospheric pressure really exists. This is an iron-clad fact, but there are still people who object. What are these people objecting to?

Especially the Confucian scholars headed by the Imperial Academy and the Imperial College strongly opposed it.

Oppose the transformation of the small peasant economy of the Ming Dynasty into a commodity economy, the context of the Ming Dynasty is no longer exclusive to Confucian scholars, the loss of the right to interpret knowledge, the expansion of power holders, and all changes.

The industrial revolution is definitely not just the product of certain technological breakthroughs, such as flying shuttles, eighty-spindle spinning wheels, steam engines, atmospheric pressure, etc. These technological breakthroughs are the result rather than the cause.

The Industrial Revolution is a change in the ideological system and social system. This change is likely to wipe out the soil for the survival of these sour Confucian scholars.

Confucian scholars who admired the ancients naturally objected. They wished that Ming Dynasty would return to the three generations they had been thinking about, and return to the pre-Qin period when the well field system was established, hoping that their status would last forever and last forever.

These conservatives who are self-styled and unwilling to change are using their own means to prevent change.

Can it be stopped?

Zhu Qiyu was the subjugated king of Ming Dynasty.

"Choose sixteen good horses from the Imperial Horse Supervisor, prepare two cupronickel spherical shells, and use red copper spacers around the spherical shells. If you don't believe me, ask Qin Tianjian to prepare them. I will show them whether the atmospheric pressure is strong or not. It really exists." Zhu Qiyu did not intend to change the national policy.

Yu Qian once mentioned a point of view, that is, even if a wrong decree, as long as it does not involve the fundamental line of the Great Dao, the world is the public, even if it is wrong, it must be implemented to the end, otherwise it will only be ridiculed as: "Change from day to day, govern the country." A big country is like a big spoon.

The harm of changing the order overnight is far greater than that of an unwise decree.

Since Zhu Qiyu wanted to do it, he planned to do it consistently.

The Magdeburg hemisphere experiment is a very good way.

In the golden autumn of August, the maple groves in Xishan were dyed fiery red. In the early morning of August [-]th, thousands of people gathered outside Xizhimen in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. , The content of the ceremony was horsepower or strength, which lasted for nearly half a year for Daming to make a verdict and make a final evaluation.

The only criterion for evaluation is fact.

And this ceremony, because it is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, quickly changed from a simple ceremony to a large-scale temple fair. At the scene of the ceremony, it stretched out a few streets, and it was full of hundreds of artists performing arts and small businesses. shouted, this temple fair is booming and quite festive.

In the midst of everyone's attention, the melodious sound of the horn sounded, and the emperor's big jade car drove slowly on the imperial road, and came to the foot of Xizhimen. It didn't take long for Zhu Qiyu to appear on the Wufeng Tower.

Amid the din of people, sixteen white tall horses appeared outside the city gate, and 320 Han generals stood under the city wall. They would shout the imperial edict of the Ming emperor in unison. Wang Zhi and Hu Wei, former Ministers of the Ministry of Officials, all appeared around His Majesty.

Xing'an shook his whisk and shouted loudly: "Li, get up."

Countless eunuchs shouted loudly, and then 320 Han generals shouted in unison, suppressing the noisy voices, and outside the Xizhi Gate, it gradually became quiet.

All eyes were on the stage in the middle, where eighteen horses were ready.

Xing'an shook his whisk again, and shouted in a frustrating manner: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict says:"

"The "Huangdi Neijing Suwen Pian" has a saying: When the empty pipe is full, twist it and hang it, the water will not flow, because there is no rise in the air, and it cannot be lowered; the empty bottle has a small mouth, and it cannot be irrigated, and the air cannot flow out. Enter also."

"I heard that there are many people discussing in the capital today because of whether the air has weight and whether there is really atmospheric pressure. After I heard about it, I found it very interesting. I invited many people to come to watch the ceremony to see if there is such a force. What a lot of strength."

Two cupronickel hemispheres were carried out from the end of the street by two people. Anyone can knock and take a look at the cupronickel hemispheres to inspect the goods to see if there is anything abnormal about them.

Then the two hemispheres were lifted to the middle, and then red copper gaskets were placed on them, and water began to be injected. With the joint efforts of several people, a water pump drained the water in the copper balls. This process took nearly half an hour.

After everything was ready, two white horses began to enter the arena.

Then dozens of people stepped onto the stage and began to check the experimental conditions. Except for the copper balls and gaskets, the two hemispheres had no other connection, and the atmospheric pressure pressed them tightly together.

After all the inspectors left the stage, Zhu Qiyu stood on the railing and said with a smile, "Pull."

The experiment officially started. Outside the Xizhi Gate, all the people watching the ceremony locked their eyes on the copper ball. Two tall horses neighed and straightened the iron chain, but the two hemispheres were still tightly attached together, motionless. .

Arriving here, it has been confirmed that atmospheric pressure really exists, and everyone in the audience is talking about it.

Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu said to Xing'an: "Jia Ma."

Chapter 8 and Four: A Few Weird Steam Horses

The moment when the two horses couldn't move the white copper ball with the two copper rings, it actually proved the existence of atmospheric pressure, not only existed, but also had great "strength".

And the current Gama is to verify how much 'strength' it has.

The other two horses were pulled up, and then started the second pull. The two hemispheres, which were not connected by any anchor structure, were pulled by the four horses at the same time, and they were still stable without any signs of separation.

The groom is waving his whip against the air and pulling the horses. The muscles of the horses are particularly handsome in the crisp autumn sunshine, but the four horses from the Imperial Horse Supervisor, in the eyes of everyone, still care about these two There's nothing the copper ball can do.

On the viewing platforms of the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, the Hanlin Academy, and the Guozijian, finally two scholars could not help standing up, one was the official of the Hanlin Academy, Wenlin Lang Song Chang of the Hanlin Academy, and the other was the head of the Criminal Department, Hanlin Chen Jingzong, the academy's selection of literature.

Song Chang was a representative of the Confucian scholars who shouted that they had worked hard to leave the capital, and did not want the Hanlins to go to the local area to serve as examiners. Another Chen Jingzong directly asked the emperor to give more treatment to the scholars, and even took Wang Fu out as an example. example.

When the two stood up, downstairs at Wufeng, the head of the inspector, He Zhang, was as black as briquettes under the scorching autumn sun.

In order to make the atmosphere of the Duchayuan better, in order to make His Majesty's perception of Ke Dao Yanguan better, in order to restore the Damingke Dao Yanguan to his original appearance, He Zhang even threw his hand outside the fortress, and even forgave him for causing him At the risk of being held accountable by His Majesty, the minister of Honglu Siqing and the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, Yang Shan, who lost his right hand, rescued Yang Shan's daughter Yang Wan from the Jiaofang and sent it to the Nanya Weaving Bureau.

All of this is for Daming, and of course for himself.

But to this day, when everyone was amazed at the wonders of nature, the two stood up and went to the ceremony platform again to check the experimental equipment that had been checked repeatedly.

This is the face that slapped He Zhang. The figures of these two people seem to be laughing at all the efforts He Zhang has made since Jingtai for four years.

This slapped His Majesty in the face, and the figures of these two people questioned the fairness, justice and openness of Emperor Ming Dynasty as His Majesty the Emperor.

What is in full view?What is uprightness?

With His Majesty's character, how could His Majesty do something unbearable at such a time, even if he could do it? Could it be that His Majesty is really the reincarnation of Emperor Zhenwu?

Where did Zibuyu put the face of the Confucian sages?

After Song Chang and Chen Jingzong came to power, the grooms stopped the horses, not letting the horses panic and disturb the two Hanlins. At the same time, the grooms looked at Xiao Zhou, the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, who was in charge of order.

Xiao Xuan came back from Huguang. He was ecstatic when he heard that he was promoted. Although Hu Xu was still in the capital, the power of the Ministry of Rites was indeed handed over to him.

Xiao Xuan was also a little confused when he saw this scene. One moment he was surprised by how strong the atmospheric pressure was, and the next moment, he was surprised by how bold the Beijing official was.

How dare you question Your Majesty's fraud in this experiment!

Xiao Xuan looked at Yao Kui, Yao Kui looked at the eunuch of the celebrant, the eunuch looked at Xing'an below Wufeng Tower, and Xing'an looked at His Majesty.

The old god Zhu Qiyu said: "Let him test it. If he can test it out, he will give up. If he can't test it, he will send it to the coal mine manager for two years tomorrow, and then he will go to the official post."

Really think Zhu Qiyu is made of mud, and there is nothing they can do to see them rely on the old and sell the old?Don't even look at what kind of onion you are!
