Chapter 220 Starry Sky (2)
Zhao Zhen was silent for a while and said to Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng: "You can come and see what the moon in the sky looks like. The classics are circulating, and many things now seem to be baseless miscellaneous talks."
Lu Yijian stepped forward and said, "The classics are just what our ancestors said, and may not be correct. As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is true, and the ancients cannot see it. Now that we see it, we can modify the classics according to the ones we see."
After saying that, he bent down and looked at the full moon in the sky from his telescope.
After a while, Lu Yi simply straightened his waist and said calmly: "I didn't expect that the moon was like a mountain, but it looked too desolate and not like someone living there."
After saying that, stand aside.
Wang Zeng stepped forward and looked at it the same way. He stepped back and bowed to hold the scepter: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, with this telescope, I can see clearly what the moon looks like and how many rumors are broken. This is a blessing for the country."
Xu Ping also admired these two people as he looked at them, the real prime minister's demeanor. In fact, after seeing them, how could they be as calm as they appear? I have been influenced by them since I was a child and heard so many legends about the moon. But when I looked tonight, I saw that there was nothing but a deserted hill, and countless childhood fantasies were shattered. No matter how good the skill of self-cultivation is, it is impossible to accept this fact so calmly.
But they are prime ministers, and what they fear most is that such a small matter caused psychological fluctuations in the emperor Zhao Zhen, which in turn affected the government. No matter what they saw tonight, even if they came to the mirror and saw a fairy flying straight over, they would look indifferent, as if it was something that happened of course. Mount Tai collapsed without making any noise. The prime minister was not an ordinary person, even if they were pretending to be so hard, they would pretend to be like this.
This is determined by their identity, and the overall situation must be stabilized, otherwise they can serve as governors from other places tomorrow.
After watching the two prime ministers, their performance also affected Zhao Zhen, and the atmosphere at the scene relaxed.
"The two bachelors also come forward to take a look. Xu Ping, you will also come forward to take a look with the officials of the Si Tianjian and the Astronomy Academy."
Mei Xun and Yan Shu stepped forward and looked on the telescope for a long time. It was not that they couldn't see clearly, but that they were trying to calm their minds. They moved away from the telescope and held the scepter together and said to Zhao Zhen: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, the Observatory has such a powerful weapon. From now on, even though the sky is far away, it will be fully visible. To observe the celestial phenomena tonight will surely be recorded in history and spread to future generations!"
Zhao Zhen's expression had completely eased, and he nodded and said, "Yes, it is the first experience in ancient times and present. From then on, I knew what the above was, and it also saved the foolish men and women from making random arrangements. The Bachelor's Academy will present poems and essays tomorrow, sing tonight's grand event, and record them in the record, and spread to future generations!"
Mei Xun and Yan Shu held the decree of the scepter.
Zhao Zhen turned around and looked up at the vast starry sky, his heart was surging. It turned out that this was the moon, there was no Guanghan Palace, no Chang'e, and no Jade Rabbit that pounded medicine. What was the sun like? What was the wider starry sky like? Where can people see the eyes?
Xu Ping, Si Tianjian and the officials of the Astronomy Academy looked at it one by one and stood aside quietly.
Zhao Zhen asked Xu Ping: "Have you seen what the moon looks like before?"
"Report to your Majesty, I saw you only once."
"That's the same different thing as you think?"
Xu Ping thought about it and shook his head slightly: "Although I know that Chang'e's osmanthus tree is nothing but nonsense, I didn't expect that it was like this. To be honest, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would have thought that it would be like this."
Zhao Zhen nodded: "Yes, everything is reliable only when you see it. I am up, this is the moon, so what is the sun? Is it the same? Can you see it with a telescope?"
"When you go back to your Majesty, the telescope is gathering light into people's eyes, so you see more things than usual and more clearly than usual. The sun cannot look directly at the eyes during the day. If you look with a telescope, it will probably damage your eyes."
"It seems that this telescope can only observe the astronomical phenomena at night."
After saying that, Zhao Zhen turned around and said to Yang Weide: "You point out the star palaces of Ziwei in the sky, let's aim the telescope at it, and I'll take a look."
You can not look at other stars, but the Emperor Star Zhao Zhen must look at them.
Yang Weide took the order and asked the students of Sitianjian who were holding the telescope to aim at the Ziwei Star Palace in the sky. He stepped forward and carefully adjusted it, and bowed to ask Zhao Zhen to come forward to observe.
Ziwei Star has special significance and has always been regarded as an emperor star. It has been given many mysterious colors since ancient times.
Zhao Zhen stepped forward, his face was solemn, and he gently approached the observation window of the telescope.
Everyone, including Xu Ping, was raised.
What the moon looks like is actually only related to some myths and legends, and its significance in astrology is not important, so the Ziwei Star Palace is different. After many years of circulating, this Star Palace represents the emperor, the court, and the fate of the entire country. The stars in this Star Palace have been given too much meaning, and the classics have always been said to dominate the fate of all living beings on earth. If you believe that you don’t speak strange powers and indiscriminate spirits, you will not take these lightly.
No one knows what Zhao Zhen would see, what he would think, and whether he would approve what he saw to the government.
The atmosphere at the scene became extremely solemn, and Xu Ping could hear his heartbeat. He was not familiar with astronomy, and he didn't know where the Ziwei Star was. In this night sky, there were a few of the North Stars that he could point out. In fact, even the North Stars were probably different from the one in his previous life. He had heard that the North Stars would change over time.
Only Yang Weide's expression was relatively relaxed. He had seen it when he was adjusting it. Although it was just a rough look, he was sure that it was not much different from what the naked eye saw with his rich experience. It was just that he saw more stars and brighter stars. This didn't matter. At worst, he would just add astrological classics to the future.
After lying on the telescope for a while, Zhao Zhen stood up with a clear expression of ease, and said, "It turns out that the auxiliary stars next to Ziwei Star are far more than the few mentioned in the classics. I don't know how many more they look in the telescope."
Lu Yijian breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward, held the scepter and said loudly: "Your Majesty governs the world with benevolence and filial piety. Since he was in charge of power, the world has been peaceful, the government has been clear and the barbarians are afraid of submission. In this prosperous era, benevolent and wise men will do their best to assist Your Majesty regardless of whether they are in the court or in the wild. These auxiliary stars that are not usually seen are wise men who have not been known at this time, and those who will assist Your Majesty in the future!"
Seeing Zhao Zhen’s face showing joy, the ministers present congratulated each other.
