Chapter 275 How to open a forum
In Kunning Palace.
Empress Zhang was sitting on her seat with a cat in her arms. There was a charcoal stove burning in the hall. She gently stroked the big orange cat in her arms with her hands. After listening to the words quietly, she said:
"The slaves in this palace are always arrogant and domineering when they go outside. Just pretend you haven't seen them. Why do you need to chase them away for this matter? I sent them here because I was afraid that the servants in your palace would be rough.
Don't worry about serving me. After all, I came from the palace, and my ability to serve people is all about my housekeeping."
"Don't worry, mother. We don't need those female officials and nuns. I can just let Xiurong take care of me."
Hearing this, Queen Zhang was actually happy, "How can you, a scholar, come to serve people here? Besides, there is no reason for a husband to serve his wife."
"."
Xia Yuan was silent for a moment and said nothing. Since the queen didn't believe it, there was nothing he could do about it. Anyway, he served his little daughter-in-law yesterday with suspicion.
Hulao Pass, where there is no grass, opened the gate and released floods three times.
"Well, since Ju Zheng has said so, it seems as if I don't trust you if I send these slaves over again."
"Besides."
At this point, Empress Zhang paused and then said: "Besides, Xiu Rong has been living outside the palace for these years, and she is not as delicate as an ordinary princess. She is not used to those nuns taking care of her to bathe. Maybe she is not used to it.
Xiu Rong doesn’t want to send these slaves there.”
Hearing this, Xia Yuan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Xiurong doesn't want to either."
But don't send those female officials, not to mention the 2,580,000 yuan each, those old ladies still have thick putty on their faces, they look scary.
Empress Zhang took the fat orange lying on her lap into her arms, looked outside the palace inadvertently, and then seemed to think of something, and said:
"People often say that auspicious snow heralds a good year. It is already the twelfth lunar month and there is not a single snowfall, but it is very cold today. Your Majesty has been worried about this matter a lot these days. I know that you are proficient in the art of keeping an eye on the people. You are in the right place.
Is there any way to make it snow?"
"."
Xia Yuan was silent. From that time when he opened the underground palace, to the trenches, dragon veins, and the collapse of Puzhou, a series of coincidental events, plus the emperor's endorsement, he has been forced to carry Master Kanyu's people on his back.
set up.
After he returned to Beijing from Puzhou, he had already received a lot of greetings. He picked up this one and looked at it, Mr. Marquis, and picked up that one and looked at it. Uncle, in short, they are all high-ranking officials in Beijing.
The greetings from these people were sincere and almost humble, but their appeals were all without exception. They asked him to come to his home and give him advice on the feng shui of the home, and then go to the trouble of choosing a cemetery.
Isn’t this nonsense? Isn’t this?
How the hell am I going to choose a cemetery?
He still rides on the horse and points, but I can point and point.
But for the emperor and the empress, it was even worse. On the day he returned to Beijing, the emperor asked when it would rain; now the empress asked how it would snow.
Do you have a misunderstanding about Kanyu, or do you have a misunderstanding about me?
"It's snowing, it's related to the celestial phenomena, I don't want to talk nonsense."
"It doesn't matter, we are all a family. Just say what the Queen Mother asks you to say." After saying that, Empress Zhang said to a female official standing beside her: "Go, please come over, Your Majesty."
"I know that you are cautious. Only the emperor can interfere with this celestial phenomenon. I will call your majesty here. Then you can speak freely without worrying about violating any taboos."
"."
Xia Yuan closed his eyes, thank you so much.
At this time, Emperor Hongzhi had just arrived at Sishi. When he heard that it was about the celestial phenomena, he put down his government affairs and rushed to Kunning Palace. He also summoned Zhu Houzhao on the way.
As the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, he naturally has to care about the celestial phenomena.
In Kunning Palace, Emperor Hongzhi was sitting on a chair, waiting for Xia Yuan to explain the celestial phenomena, with an expectant look in his eyes, as if he was looking forward to snow.
Empress Zhang sat next to her with her cat in her arms, and Zhu Houzhao also sat down with a small stool.
Xia Yuan felt uncomfortable sitting on Xiaojindun in such a big battle. Now the three most distinguished people in the Ming Dynasty were sitting here. If he didn't mention the ugly Yinmao today, it would be unreasonable.
After considering the words in his mind, Xia Yuan bit the bullet and said: "If you ask me to tell you when it will snow, I can't tell you. But I can tell you why it won't snow, including why it won't rain."
.”
Speaking of this, he looked at Emperor Hongzhi and asked: "Your Majesty, it doesn't snow in Beizhili now. If I guessed correctly, it shouldn't snow in Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Shandong and other places, right?"
Zhu Youtang didn't seem to be surprised when he heard this, but said in a deep voice: "Juzheng's expectation is good, it is indeed true. I have received reports from these places in the past two days."
"But it must have snowed in Jiangnan, Huguang, southwest and other places."
While sorting out his words, Xia Yuan asked, "I would venture to guess that your Majesty might be thinking that since the weather is so cold, logically speaking, it should snow, right?"
Zhu Houzhao interjected: "It will definitely snow when the weather is cold. Is it possible that it will rain?"
Emperor Hongzhi glanced at him, and then said: "That's what I was thinking about. It's normal for it to be cold and snowy. But today's celestial phenomenon is extraordinary: the summer is unbearably hot, but only a small amount of rain comes; the winter is extremely cold and unbearable, and the weather is unbearable.
But not a single snow fell.”
"Your Majesty, it doesn't necessarily snow when the weather is cold. In other words, the reason why it snows is not just because of the cold weather. In addition to the cold weather, it also requires warm and moist airflow. When cold air and warm and moist airflow meet in the sky, it will snow.
It turns to snow and then falls."
"The same goes for rain, which also requires warm and moist airflow."
Emperor Hongzhi thought for a moment and asked: "What Ju Zheng means - the reason why the celestial phenomena in our Ming Dynasty are so weird is because there is no such warm and moist air current in the sky?"
"It can't be said that there are none, it's just that there are few."
Zhu Houzhao interrupted again, "Then where does this warm and humid air come from?"
This question hit the nail on the head. Emperor Hongzhi did not glare at him this time, but cast a questioning look at his son-in-law.
Xia Yuan recalled the geographical knowledge from his previous life and slowly said: "The warm and humid air current is not made, but how it is formed. It is formed on the sea surface. There are many reasons for its formation: it is affected by temperature, humidity, temperature difference, air pressure, and air humidity.
Diminishing impact.
In short, the greater the decline rate of humidity, the more abundant sunshine, the more water vapor will be formed, and the stronger the warm and humid air flow will be. Then it will be brought to me by the ocean currents and monsoons, and then it will start to rain and snow."
"."
After hearing these words, Emperor Hongzhi fell into silence for a long time. Is this the art of contemplation?
Why is this art of contemplation completely different from what those in the Qintian Prison taught me? I actually didn’t quite understand it.
When Empress Zhang, who was sitting next to her and petting her cat quietly, saw him like this, she knew that he didn't understand and couldn't help but say:
"I understand. What Ju Zheng means is that there is a lot of water in the sea. Let the sun bask in it, and then let the strong wind from the sea blow the sea water to my Ming Dynasty, so that it can rain and snow.
"
As she said that, Queen Zhang's eyes flickered, her eyes fell on Xia Yuan again, and she said softly: "Ju Zheng is thinking of a way to open an altar or something, so that we can get some warm and moist air to flow over to our Ming Dynasty."
"."
After hearing the previous words, Xia Yuan still nodded secretly. Although the queen's understanding was biased and could not be said to be irrelevant, at least it was somewhat related.
But when he heard the next words, he fell silent.
How can I have such great magical powers when I step on a horse?
He also practices the practice of riding a horse to open an altar.
The root of the little daughter-in-law's superstition has been found. If nothing else, it is genetic.
