At this time, you will involuntarily have a detached mind, thinking that the Ming Dynasty and the Yongle Emperor are just passing smoke and not worth mentioning.
"I want to ride the wind back home, but I'm afraid it's too cold in the high places!"
Xu Jingchang thought in his mind that he had achieved the freedom of fishing and could occasionally go to Qinhuai to listen to music. Now all he could do was look up at the stars.
If even this is accomplished, then it will be insignificant whether it is the general envoy or the power of the government and the opposition.
He looked at the princes of the court and said with a smile: "You guys all came quite early!"
Jian Yi sighed softly, "Dong Dingguo, I want to advise you to stop. If you really offend God and offend God, it will not be a blessing for the Ming Dynasty."
Xia Yuanji also sighed: "Since ancient times, people have respected heaven and ancestors. If people don't have a sense of awe, they will be reckless and rampant, even causing all kinds of outrageous things. I don't agree to peek into heaven."
Xu Jingchang chuckled and said: "Since you two are unwilling, please go back. Your Majesty and His Royal Highness will arrive later. How about we watch the fun together?"
Xia Yuanji was startled, and then looked at the others. He saw the remaining ministers, either looking up or lowering their heads to think. Anyway, they were at the bottom of the rankings. If they could read, they would read, and if they couldn't, they would go home.
They were not very interested in expecting them to come out and oppose this matter at the risk of angering the emperor.
Seeing these useless dim sums silent, Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji were furious.
Are we doing this for ourselves?
The official system has been changed. If you no longer fear God, what will you use to hold the emperor hostage in the future? Why can't you even see this? What a bunch of fools.
The two of them cursed in their hearts for a while, but there was nothing they could do. Since you are not afraid, you can risk your lives to accompany the gentleman.
At this time, Zhu Gaochi arrived with his grandson Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanji is eight years old this year, an age that even a dog would dislike...he ran over quickly even though he was far away.
"Cousin, cousin, I want to see Chang'e and the Moon Palace."
Xu Jingchang said with a sullen face: "I have told you so many times, this is official business, it must be a position! Do you understand the position?"
"Understood! Position position! I want to see Chang'e and the laurel tree in the Moon Palace!"
Xu Jingchang was so angry that he fell down. If the courtiers hadn't been here, he would have given the black boy a good beating to let him know how powerful he was.
And Zhu Zhanji seemed to know this, so he was extra playful.
"Is this it? This is the telescope, I want to see it!"
Xu Jingchang finally couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to slap the black boy.
"Your Majesty is not here yet, so please don't cause trouble."
Zhu Zhanji turned around and shouted again: "I'm hungry. I haven't finished my meal when I came here. Just prepare seventeen or eight dishes for me."
Xu Jingchang snorted and sent you two words, dream!
But when it comes to food, there is still no shortage.
Xu Jingchang pressed his hand, and someone brought a plate. From a distance, a burst of aroma wafted over.
Zhu Zhanji happily went over, opened the top cover, looked inside, and immediately felt bad.
"Cousin, you are scaring people, you are so bad!"
Others also looked over and saw a plate of scones with a rich aroma, made of eggs and flour, milk, honey, and large nuts.
These alone are definitely a delicious dish.
But the problem is that there are several fish heads stuck inside, and the fish eyes are looking upward. Anyone who looks at it must look into the eyes of the dead fish first. What the hell is this?
It is a good dish if it has both color and flavor.
What is this thing?
Zhu Zhanji was so angry that Xu Jingchang laughed and said: "You guys, see for yourselves, this pancake has the fish eyes upward, looking up to the sky. I named it "Looking at the Stars". It is just right to eat it on this day!"
How suitable!
Jian Yi felt that people like him were just dead fish on the plate, waiting to be charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
The man named Xu was immoral, but he really wasn't wronged.
At this moment, Zhu Di finally arrived.
Today, Zhu Di was wearing ordinary clothes, very relaxed. By his side, there were several officials from Qin Tianjian, and Yang Rong and other bachelors were also there.
Zhu Di rubbed his hands with anticipation.
"I often look up at the sky, but I can't tell what is in the sky today. I can really feast my eyes on it today."
Xu Jingchang led Zhu Di over, and a special person led Zhu Di to the front of the telescope. After a brief introduction, he allowed our Emperor Yongle to experience the vastness of the sky in person.
First he saw the numerous stars, then the vast Milky Way, and finally he set his sights on the moon.
Zhu Di spent a quarter of an hour looking at it... The emperor enjoyed it, and the courtiers could only blow the wind. There is not only a telescope here, but the emperor is here. If the emperor doesn't finish watching, he can't overstep it.
At this time, Zhu Di stood up, stretched his stiff waist, turned to look at several courtiers, and said with a smile: "Everyone, please stop standing. Do you still have this thing?"
He pointed at the telescope and Xu Jingchang said: "There are four more."
"Okay, bring them all over here, and let's take a look at it together!"
With the emperor's consent, everyone finally had a chance.
But this look is incredible.
The Milky Way, which was originally hazy and misty, turned out to be dotted with spots, like a bunch of stars.
Isn't the Milky Way a river?
So why are the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl still hesitating?
Hurry up and reunite the couple!
Looking up at the moon, it's even more terrible... You can't see the Guanghan Palace, you can't see the osmanthus tree, where have all the people like Chang'e, Wu Gang, etc. gone?
All that's left is numbness, not round at all.
Zhu Zhanji didn't fish out the first batch and look at it. He could only hold the plate, chew the inside and look up at the stars.
Don't tell me. Ignore the fish heads and it's actually quite delicious.
"Cousin, why are Minister Jian and the others unhappy?"
Xu Jingchang said: "Maybe they didn't find Chang'e!"
"Chang'e? I prefer mooncakes."
Xu Jingchang said softly: "Whenever you forget the mooncakes, you will grow up."
Zhu Zhanji rolled his eyes and said, "Cousin, do you want me to tell Xianzhong this?"
Xu Jingchang smiled faintly, "Then do you think I should give your test paper to the Crown Princess for review?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhanji immediately became honest. If he wants to be ruthless, it has to be you!
Zhu Zhanji is not stupid at all. He did very well in elementary school when he was a child. However, since he was seven or eight years old, he has become more and more playful, especially after going to Peking and coming back. He completely let himself go and did not listen carefully in class. After class, he just
Focus on having fun.
Even a genius wouldn't be able to bear such a torment, let alone he's not a genius yet.
What this kid fears most is finding his parents.
"Cousin, what's the use of saying that I'm so good at studying? I don't have to take the exam for the top prize. I just need to know a few things and don't let people think I'm a fool. That's all, right?"
Xu Jingchang nodded: "Indeed, His Highness has a very good consciousness... After all, even if you study hard, you may not be able to escape the fate of being deceived. Rather than expending all your efforts, it is better to admit the reality early."
Hitting someone or not hitting someone in the face, this cousin went too far.
Zhu Zhanji vented his anger on looking up at the stars, one mouthful after another, and in a short time more than half of them were wiped out. Apart from anything else, his appetite was really good.
At this moment, Zhu Di finally stood up, rubbed his eyes, walked to Xu Jingchang, coughed lightly and said: "I looked at it for a long time, but I didn't see anything... In the thirty-three days, the gods of the sky, Ling Xiao
The treasure palace, I’m afraid it’s all imaginary, right?”
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "I see it this way too."
Zhu Di asked again: "Where is the destiny?"
Xu Jingchang chuckled and said, "I can't say for the moment. If your Majesty insists on asking, I think destiny lies in people's hearts!"
"Destiny lies in the human heart?"
Zhu Di pondered for a moment and then said: "Is it the destiny or the human heart that I can succeed in pacifying Nan?"
Xu Jingchang said: "God may not have helped your majesty. It can be seen from this that all the people eat pots of pulp and greet the king respectfully."
Zhu Di nodded.
At this moment, Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji and other first batch of people who had seen it had already retreated.
They looked at each other, feeling more uncomfortable than drinking a jar of bitter melon juice.
Jian Yi thought again and again and finally came to Zhu Di.
"Your Majesty, destiny is supreme, and people's hearts are unpredictable. I think it is better not to look up at the sky at will, so as not to cause trouble. I am devoted to the court and your majesty, and I have no other thoughts."
Zhu Di nodded, "I still know what you are thinking."
But Zhu Di didn't say anything further. While Jian Yi was thinking about it, Zhu Di suddenly asked Zhu Zhanji: "My grandson, what do you think of this destiny?"
"Destiny? Can you eat it?"
"eat?"
"My grandson means, what is Chang'e and not Chang'e is not as important as the mooncakes."
Zhu Di couldn't help laughing, "That's good! The mooncake in your hand is more important than the illusory gods. With this knowledge, you can be the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty!"
When Zhu Zhanji heard this, he was overjoyed. He even looked at Xu Jingchang to see if he could see it. Grandpa Huang said I was good, so don't think about filing a black lawsuit.
Xu Jingchang smiled and said nothing. At this time, several other ministers came over one after another... They were either happy or sad, with various thoughts and mixed emotions.
Anyway, this time they peeked into the sky, which really shocked them seriously.
Zhu Di smiled and said: "I won't say anything else. I have discussed the theory that prosperity brings blessings to the emperor and refuted Confucianism... Today I watched the stars and the moon again. I want to ask you whether the official education of the Ming Dynasty is the best.
