The lively Spring Festival is finally coming to an end. The Song Dynasty ushered in the second year of Xining (1070 AD). As a "star" couple in the Song Dynasty, Wang Jinghui and his wife were busy for a month during the Spring Festival. As important members of the royal family, there were fewer banquets, not to mention that Wang Jinghui was the celebrity in front of today's son. Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the last festival of a series of celebrations of the Spring Festival. Although the Chinese have the tradition of having the first lunar month is the last climax of the Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival is the last climax of the Spring Festival. After that, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival gradually faded.

In the evening, in the crowded crowds of the streets of Fanlou, Biandu, Wang Jinghui and his wife Zhao Qianyu, who dressed as a man, were slowly moving forward in the crowd. Perhaps his wife was too beautiful, and even a bloated winter clothes could not hide her noble nature, which made the street turn a high rate of return, which made Wang Jinghui wonder in his heart that he would have to search for the legendary "human skin mask" in the future. Fortunately, he should see his acquaintances on the street at this time. Although the young prince-consort was so arrogant, there were still very few people who could see their true faces in Kaifeng, Biandu. He believed that Sima Guang and Wang Anshi would accompany his wife to the streets like their couple. If such a thing really happened one day, Wang Jinghui must have thought that a comet hit the earth.

Although the eldest princess of Shu was raised in the palace and was gentle and virtuous, she was a model of a princess, but she was a person who loved to be lively. Although the palace was also very lively, it belonged to her. In the palace, in addition to the attachment of family affection, the magnificent palace of the Song Dynasty made her feel the slightest warmth. In contrast, she prefers to stand behind her husband and watch her husband solve one problem after another for the Song Dynasty. Although her husband is busy with political affairs in daily life, looking at the young and somewhat persistent figure, she feels a warm current flowing in her heart.

Although the people on the street were shoulder to shoulder and her husband tried to block the crowd for her, Zhao Qianyu enjoyed the feeling of being taken care of by her husband. The spring in Biandu was very cold. But here she felt warm. She gently pulled Wang Jinghui's lichen corner and followed her husband forward, tasting various snacks along the way, and watching the street artists move difficultly. Although there were not many opportunities in the year, Zhao Qianyu was already satisfied.

Sometimes being missed by others is not a happy thing. Today is the Lantern Festival, and all officials gather in the Chuigong Hall to celebrate. When the banquet started, Emperor Zhao Xu felt that there was still someone missing in the Chuigong Hall, but for a moment he remembered that Emperor Zhao Xu, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Zeng Gongliang and others had this feeling. When some officials took the opportunity to recite poems and lyrics, they realized where the place that made them feel right was - where did the son-in-law Wang Jinghui run?!

Although the ministers in the palace dared to drink because of the emperor's presence, the atmosphere became more and more lively as the banquet deepened, which gave Emperor Zhao Xu the opportunity to call the eunuch general manager to his side and whispered: "Didn't the prince-consort go to the palace to attend the banquet? Where is he now?"

"The prince consort is in good health today... it seems that he has not come!" The eunuch general manager said with a stuttering look.

"The prince consort is sick?" Emperor Zhao Xu did not notice the embarrassing expression of the eunuch general manager. He was very concerned about Wang Jinghui's physical condition. After all, it was his own wallet. If something went wrong, then he would be in trouble. "Send the imperial physician here immediately. If you have any needs, you can reward the rare medicinal materials in the inner warehouse!"

"The prince consort is sick. He is also in the prince consort's mansion..."

Emperor Zhao Xu was stunned when he heard this, and immediately said, "The prince consort and the princess ran out again?! When did it happen? Where are they now?"

The eunuchs finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Every time Emperor Zhao Xu asked about the husband and wife's trip, he would always suffer - such a thing can be big or small, if it was put on someone else, it would inevitably be a half-death to Lantai. If it was placed on the husband and wife, it would probably be a loss, but this was the matter of the imperial family. It was his turn to talk too much, otherwise the consequences would be conceivable.

"The prince consort and His Highness the eldest princess left the prince consort's mansion an hour ago. What would happen if someone protects it later? The prince consort and his wife went to the Fanlou Street Market. If you want to see the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, the emperor wants to call them back?!"

Emperor Zhao Xu shook his head when he heard the Houjin, waved his hand to the eunuch general manager and said, "You have to find them back! I'll send more people around them. If something goes wrong, ask them... I'll come back again!"

It was the Lantern Festival. Although Emperor Zhao Xu wanted to speak harshly to the attendants of the Imperial Guards, he still had to avoid "words". The eunuchs and generals complained secretly in his heart. Fanlou Street Market was originally the most prosperous area of ​​the Song Dynasty, and it was usually crowded. Now there are probably more people. How did the attendants of the Imperial Guards act? What made him better is that the consort himself had martial arts skills, and he took His Highness the Princess out once or twice. There had never been any trouble. He felt at ease. After receiving the emperor's oral order, he went down to make arrangements.

Although Fanlou is prosperous and crowded, it holds the emperor's authority. The emperor's emperor's oral orders, who was still in the Chugong Hall for a moment, had already arrived in the street market of Fanlou, and the imperial guards who were guarding the husband and wife. Although the imperial guards were used to such warnings, they still dared to be careless. The leader personally found the Dingcheng brothers far away from the husband and wife. These two brothers were Wang Jinghui's book boys, and it was easy to talk to the husband and wife. He wanted the Dingcheng brothers to go to the husband and wife to persuade him to stop work as soon as possible, so as not to make it difficult for them, such imperial guards from the imperial straight class, to be in front of the emperor.

Although he was very willing, Wang Jinghui and his wife were preparing to go back. He also knew that his whereabouts had been under the attention of Emperor Zhao Xu, and he had nothing to do when he came out, but taking Zhao Qianyu with him was exactly the same nature. He also went shopping in the crowd. Although he was worried about being attacked and assassinated, it was really hard for those followers to work hard.

When Wang Jinghui and his wife returned to the Prince Consort's Mansion, the housekeeper Wang Fu came to report that a man named Gao Rongsheng was a deputy commander of the third yamen to visit with his younger brother. Since the visitor was a person in the imperial guard system, although he was a fourth-rank official, it also made the housekeeper Wang Fu very embarrassed. In the past, except for Guo Kui and Wang Shao, no one in the army had arrived at the Prince Consort's Mansion. Wang Fu was afraid of making mistakes, so he asked Gao Rongsheng and his brothers to wait in the flower hall.

"The deputy commander of the Third Yamen? Gao Rongsheng? Haven't heard of this person before?" Wang Jinghui muttered in his heart. No matter what, he would invite him in first, and then asked Wang Fu to bring the guests in.

The two brothers Gao Rongsheng were brought to the front hall. Because Gao Rongsheng's identity was too sensitive, Wang Jinghui invited Eunuch Zhao to stay aside. If Wang Jinghui judged the two of them from the words of the Gao brothers, he really thought that the two had nothing to do with each other, because they were both literary and military, one was tall and powerful, and the other was a bit thin, and he was very gentle. After reporting his surname, Wang Jinghui secretly thanked that he did not act smart--the gentle young man was actually Gao Rongsheng, the deputy commander of the third yamen, and the powerful man was still a scholar who was a scholar with great meritorious name, with his courtesy name Gao Rongqiang and his courtesy name Yu Yi.

After a few greetings between the two sides, Wang Jinghui realized that the strong man Gao Rongqiang was the one who really had something to do with him. His brother was just an introduction on his behalf, and his threshold was so high. Although Gao Rongqiang was responsible for his merits, he entered the door of the Prince Consort's Mansion. After learning who was the real lord, Wang Jinghui breathed a sigh of relief - if Gao Rongsheng came to him, it was probably for military matters. In military affairs, he had to wait for the questioning of the "expert". Moreover, he made friends with generals as a relative of the foreign country, so it would be troublesome to spread. Although Guo Kui had a high status, he had no soldiers at hand, so Gao Rongsheng was the same. Although the deputy commander of the Third Yasi was only a fourth-rank official, he was a very powerful general.

Wang Jinghui spoke and asked Gao Rongqiang: "What are you going to teach me if Mr. Zhi is here?"

Gao Rongqiang took out a monocular lens from his body and said, "I heard that this thing was made by the prince consort. This way, you can clearly see the situation within a mile or two, and know if the prince consort can use this thing to look into the sky?"

After hearing this, Wang Jinghui was shocked - looking at the sky - China's Galileo finally appeared! In the second year of Zhiping, the craftsmen in the glass workshop tried their best to deal with the bubble problems generated in the glass, which only greatly improved the purity of the utensils produced in the glass workshop, and also made it possible for Wang Jinghui to make concave and convex lenses. After making reading glasses, Wang Jinghui quickly made a telescope and presented it to Emperor Zhao Shu. At that time, Wang Jinghui knew that the four words "feudal divine power" were called for nothing.

It is to turn the telescope into an astronomical mirror. It is said that it can completely shatter the foundations of the existence of those gods. At least in Chinese mythology, Chang'e, the Jade Rabbit of the Moon Palace, will definitely disappear. The impact of this is really unpredictable. Wang Jinghui has other uses, and he is committed to becoming China's Bruno for this, so he did not explain to Emperor Zhao Xu the important role of the telescope in astronomy. However, he was still very much looking forward to one day someone can aim the telescope at the vast starry sky to create a new era of astronomical mythology belonging to the Chinese.

Wang Jinghui was very sure that the Song people aimed the telescope at the sky. This era was undoubtedly the most developed era in ancient China in all aspects of natural sciences. Everyone like Su Song and Shen Kuo were born in this era. What Wang Jinghui didn't expect was that the first person to aim the telescope at the starry sky was actually an amateur astronomy enthusiast who did not leave a big history. Telescopes are one of the top secrets of the Song Dynasty. They have very few productions and have not been popularized at the grassroots level in the army.

Unit, during the battle of the Dingbian Army, Wang Jinghui's apprentice Wuxin took the risk of going deep into the Western Xia. There was only one telescope in the two thousand teams in Wuxin's hands, which was due to the care of Han Qi, Duke of Wei. Gao Rongqiang's telescope must be in his brother's hands, which also has a certain advantage. You must know that Shen Kuo has only heard of the telescope and has not used it himself. If the telescope is loosened and popularized, the first person to aim the telescope at the starry sky would probably be Gao Rongqiang.

"The telescope is presented to the emperor to observe changes in the battlefield. The glass was also invented. What is more curious about is what Brother Yu Yi saw in the telescope?!" Wang Jinghui asked with a smile.

"I saw a novel world, but it was not as described in ancient books. For a year, I was troubled by everything in front of me, but no one discussed it. Thinking that this telescope was made by the prince consort, I begged my brother to come and worship the prince consort in order to solve my doubts!" ​​Gao Rongqiang said.

"Brother Yu Yi, the situations reflected in the telescope are real scenes in the distance, which is absolutely nothing wrong. In other words, everything you see in front of you is real, and these are doubtful! The moon is just a sphere full of big pits, and there is nothing Chang'e on the moon palace!"

Gao Rongqiang was very excited after hearing this and said, "Wrong! I have been using my brother's telescope for a year to observe the starry sky. I saw many incredible things, but no one in my heart could share them with it. It turns out that the prince consort had seen it with a telescope for a long time!"

Wang Jinghui smiled and said, "The telescope is made by himself. How can I know this purpose? It's just because people dare to say it! I want to remind Brother Yu Yi to say it - be sure to point the telescope at the sun. Otherwise, it will burn your eyes!"

"Thank you, the prince consort, fortunately, my brother wants to retrieve the telescope during the day, but I really have to use the telescope to see the sun! After a year of observation and combined with the observations of the naked eye before, a star map was drawn. I would like to ask the prince consort for advice!"

Wang Jinghui blocked Gao Rongqiang who wanted to open the star map with his hand and said with a smile: "This is not the director who draws the star map. It is really concealed by Brother Yu Yi. I am really a secret understanding of this. But I can introduce a few people to discuss with Brother Yu Yi, or it may be inspiring!"

Wang Jinghui claimed that he had stolen astronomy, which made Gao Rongqiang very strange, but this did not affect his view of the prince-consort. On the contrary, because the prince-consort took the initiative to admit that he was an outsider respecting him more. After all, there were too few officials who could admit his own position. If the prince-consort knew how to pretend to know how to get along with him, that would be what Gao Rongqiang despised!

"Are there anyone using a telescope to observe the starry sky like the one below?" Gao Rongqiang asked.

Wang Jinghui smiled and said, "It's not that everyone is as lucky as Brother Gao. The telescope is the secret of my Song Dynasty. Even if there are few distributions in the army, it is difficult for people outside to get this thing. Although the person introduced below has never used a telescope to observe the starry sky, this person is also inferior to anyone in my Song Dynasty's achievements in astronomy and earth!"

Gao Rongqiang asked in confusion: "Who is the place introduced by the prince consort?"

"Shen Kuo, the original Zhaowenguan compiled and proofreaded the book. Now the emperor intends to let him serve as the Sitianjian. I will also write a letter to use the telescope for astronomical observation. If Brother Yu Yi does not intend to conduct a scientific investigation, I would be willing to introduce him to the Sitianjian to serve. What do you think of Brother Yu Yi?!"

"Enter the Sitianjian?!" Gao Rongsheng's face changed slightly, obviously he agreed to his younger brother to enter the Sitianjian. Wang Jinghui also understood this very well. After all, those who have made contributions hope to take advantage of it, hoping to enter the museum and pavilion in high school. It is a deeply rooted tradition of the literati of the Song Dynasty. It depends entirely on how Gao Rongqiang chose. After all, not everyone is willing to enter the officialdom.

"Shen Kuo? But Lord Shen Cunzhong?" Gao Rongqiang didn't care about entering Sitianjian. He was quite interested in Shen Kuo. He lived in Kaifeng, Biandu. One-fifth of the officials in the country gathered here. Some officials were a little special because of their preferences, so their "voice" was louder.

Wang Jinghui wrote to the emperor last month, suggesting that the "Five Talks of Whirlfields" written by Shen Kuo when he was the magistrate of Ningguo County, and the two books and magazines "Wanchunwei Books" were printed and distributed throughout the world, and were a must-read book for local officials in various places. This suggestion was positively responded by Wang Anshi, and the memorial was paid attention to by Wang Anshi when he passed through the Secretariat of the Secretariat. The Farmland Water Conservancy Law he promulgated has been piloted for more than half a year. In addition to legislative implementation, it is also very important to have guiding books to assist in the implementation of the Farmland Water Conservancy Law. Wang Anshi likes Shen Kuo very much. Originally, he wanted to make him serve as the envoy of the Three Divisions, but now it seems that it is very likely to be realized - Shen Kuo himself likes Wang Jinghui to recommend his leadership to Emperor Zhao Xu, Si Tianjian. Although Wang Anshi was a little happy, he also wanted to take his ambition, so he gave up.

After Shen Kuo passed by, he would be in charge of the dredging project of the Bian River, which was also a kind of compensation for Wang Anshi by Wang Jinghui. Wang Jinghui proposed that these two books play a great role in farmland water conservancy. Wang Anshi was very sensible, so naturally, as soon as the letter came to him, he immediately wrote a brief and submitted it to Emperor Zhao Xu. Although Emperor Zhao Xu saw what outstanding things were in these two books, it was for the benefit of the implementation of the Farmland Water Conservancy Law, so he issued an instruction to approve Wang Jinghui's letter. Because it was long after Wang Jinghui proposed to increase the treatment of craft officials, the publication of these two books attracted the attention of many people, and Shen Kuo's greatness spread all over the world.

Wang Jinghui smiled and said, "Wrong, it's Shen Cunzhong. He will be in the position of Sitianjian after a long time. What are the considerations for Brother Yu Yi?"
