I'm so cheap, you don't want to hit me, do you?

"The matter of building the mirage, Yun Zhongjun will tell me in detail at the family dinner tonight."

After Yingzheng's words fell, Yun Zhongjun's face suddenly showed joy, obviously the emperor had already been tempted.

What an honor it is to be able to attend the emperor's family banquet.

Wang Xuan below couldn't help curling his lips.

"What are you looking for for Sanxian Island? This Xu Fu is obviously going to run away with wealth."

Sure enough, Wang Xuan saw the corners of Xu Fu's mouth curled up.

The reason why Xu Fu wanted to go overseas to obtain the elixir was because Ying Zheng could easily chase him back with wealth on land, but it was not the case at sea. Wang Yanghai, as long as he escaped, the emperor had nowhere to look for him.

Moreover, there are too few explorations of the sea in this era, and there is no possibility that the lies he made up will be exposed.

In addition, the legend of Sanxian Island has been circulating all the time, so it is easy to be convinced.

After Yun Zhongjun, it was the other ministers' turn to present gifts.

Juniors like Wang Xuan and others can only be ranked last.

Above, Ying Zheng listened to the gift list with a smile in his eyes.

So many people celebrate his birthday, and now the world is one, he is of course happy.

If it wasn't for the slight abnormality in my body recently, I would be happier.

"Fusu, among so many gifts, which one do you like the most?"

Ying Zheng looked at the young master Fusu who was sitting below and dressed in white.

Today's gifts are various, but most of them are not new, that is, Xu Fu's blueprint can make Shi Huang happy the most.

Hearing this, Fusu said respectfully: "Father, my son thinks that the sword given by Si Che's concubine is the best. Our Great Qin established the country with martial arts and swept all directions. Only with the sword in hand can we inherit the legacy of our ancestors and maintain the blood of my old Qin people." .”

Hearing Fusu's words, Ying Zheng nodded.

My son, Fusu, has always been famous for his virtue, and he has always been raised by him as his heir. It is a good thing to have great ambitions.

"Hu Hai, what about you?"

Ying Zheng looked again at a young man sitting on the edge of the princes.

It was the eighteenth son Hu Hai.

This Hu Hai is clever and clever, and is deeply loved by Ying Zheng.

But the character is also more stubborn.

"My son thinks that Yunzhongjun Xu Fu's blueprint is the best. If I can obtain the elixir for my father, my father will live forever, and my Great Qin will also last forever."

Hu Hai is obviously better at talking than Fu Su.

Fu Su chose the sword to express his lofty ambitions, but Hu Hai cared more about Ying Zheng's body and was more filial.

"Hahaha!"

Sure enough, Yingzheng Longyan was very happy.

"They are all my good sons."

Hu Hai and Zhao Gao who was next to him looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

"Wang Xuan, the second son of Marquis Tongwu, presents a globe."

When Zhao Gao read this, his voice could not help but pause, and his face showed curiosity.

"What is a globe?"

Not only Zhao Gao, but all the ministers in the field, including Ying Zheng, became stunned.

"What is this globe, show it to me."

Ying Zheng said.

Other things had already been presented when the eunuch read it, but now the hall is empty.

Ying Zheng's words fell.

Suddenly there was a sound of thumping, and a dozen people came in carrying a huge thing in the direction of the door.

When the thing was placed on the hall, there was only a bang, and the whole hall trembled.

The red cloth was lifted, and everyone's eyes widened.

A huge round ball was placed there, with bumps and bumps on it, as if there was something, like a decoration.

At this time, everyone was at a loss.

"Master Wang, what is this thing?"

Even Zhang Han became curious.

Wang Xuan stood up slowly, then walked to the center of the hall, saluted the emperor first, and then said: "Your Majesty, this object is called a globe, and it also has a base."

As he spoke, Wang Xuan gave instructions to the little eunuch next to him.

Immediately another group of people brought in a wooden base.

Wang Xuan made something similar to a bearing on the wood.

When everyone puts the huge globe on it, it can be easily rotated.

"What is this globe for?"

Ying Zheng's curiosity was completely aroused.

The world is full of wonders. After Yingzheng unified the six countries, he also collected many treasures, rare treasures, strange and weird.

However, offering gifts must have an auspicious connotation, Ying Zheng thought, Wang Xuan's reason for such a big thing was to attract his attention.

I just don't know what words he can make up to please himself.

"Report to Your Majesty, this thing can be called the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and the whole world, mountains, rivers, and rivers can all be found on it."

After Wang Xuan finished speaking, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up.

All the ministers in the field were also talking about it.

If it is true what Wang Xuan said, with this thing, wouldn't it be all-encompassing for marching and fighting.

But then Ying Zheng frowned: "Since it is a map of mountains, rivers and communities, why should it be engraved on the ball?"

"Yeah! Wouldn't it be better if you made a big parchment scroll or painted it on silk cloth? What does it mean to paint it on a ball?"

Wang Xuan smiled slightly: "Because the earth is round."

Those words came out like thunder.

It made the huge hall fall into silence.

The sky is round and the earth is round, which is the common cognition of the world in this era. Now some people say that the earth is round, isn't it just nonsense.

Chapter 281 The Theory of the Round Earth

Ying Zheng frowned.

The idea of ​​a round earth is simply absurd to him.

But he didn't say anything to reprimand, but said lightly: "You continue to talk."

Wang Xuan suddenly realized that it was a bit hasty for him to present the globe directly.

In this era, even Qin Shihuang, who is very talented and broad-minded, has limited knowledge of the world after all, and I am afraid that he cannot accept the statement that the earth is round.

But even if the other party feels that he is a little ridiculous, at most he will give himself some punishment, and it will not punish the entire Wang family because of this.

So Wang Xuan settled down, and continued: "The place above the globe is the land of my Great Qin, and starting from Xianyang where we are, walking eastward for 200 million zhang will return to this place, so the land is round."

After Wang Xuan finished speaking, the audience was already in an uproar.

Wang Ben stood up in a hurry, and said tremblingly: "Damn it! Three generations of the Wang family have been loyal to the Great Qin. I didn't expect to give birth to this rebellious son. I don't know the heights of heaven and earth, talk nonsense, and deceive the king. Please forgive me!" .”

Wang Ben also didn't expect that, originally thinking that Nizi made a round ball, he would utter nonsense, saying that the earth is round.

He also said that he could just throw Yu Ruyi at home and offer the globe directly.

Fortunately, I didn't listen to him, otherwise His Majesty thought it was his idea.

When the time comes to punish the Wang family, there will be no excuses.

In fact, Wang Xuan was also careless, he didn't know that this era has always respected the theory of yin and yang.

From the gossip made by Emperor Fuxi in ancient times, to the deduction of six and four hexagrams by King Wen later, they are all derived from the basis that the earth is square.

Wang Xuan now says that the earth is round, which is tantamount to overturning everyone's previous cognition.

One can imagine how much shock it would cause.

It is as if the first person to spread the heliocentric theory in the West was condemned as a heresy by the church and burned to death directly.

It is undoubtedly very difficult to get people to accept new ideas.

Wang Ben knew that such nonsense remarks would definitely displease Ying Zheng.

My son is really daring!

"General Wang Ben, what does this matter have to do with you? You should step back."

Ying Zheng said.

In the past, he heard reports from people in the trap that Wang Xuan was a playboy, ignorant and incompetent, and he didn't have a good impression of Wang Xuan.

Later, Wang Xuan helped Zhang Han in Diqiu, and he shined brilliantly, and Ying Zheng's impression of Wang Xuan was greatly changed.

This time, he planned to marry a princess to Wang Xuan, but he didn't expect this guy to do such a thing on his birthday.

Being able to say such absurd words shows that this person is either stupid or has other plans.

Ying Zheng's face was livid, and his eyes were terrifying.

He looked coldly at Wang Xuan who was standing there, and said: "Who told you that the earth is round? If someone deceives you, you can report it to me."

"You are the son of General Wang, and I believe in your loyalty."

Ying Zheng really believed that this was not something that Wang Xuan thought of.
