There is no doubt that King Yun had attainments in literature, but Zhao Huan was extremely talented, proficient in arithmetic and astronomy, and was a rare general in terms of marching and fighting.
Zhao Huan, a "all-rounder", can naturally win the respect of many disciples.
At this moment, the young master in a dark green gown took the initiative to salute Zhao Huan.
"In the first question of the written examination, the song formula given by the prince impressed my subordinates."
"But the second question, Tianguan Xingke, the prince did not give a direct answer. I wonder if I can use this place to ask the prince to clarify some questions?"
The young man in green actually knew very well that his answer sheet only answered the observation results, but did not answer the cause. Naturally, there was some suspicion that the answer was not what was asked.
Zhao Huan gave him the qualification for the interview, so there is only one explanation, that is, everyone else gave the wrong answer.
The other nineteen diners at the scene also sat up straight in an instant, looking at Zhao Huan expectantly.
Zhao Huan did not intend to delve into this issue. After all, the original intention was just to test their knowledge accumulation. If he had to give a cause and effect, not even them, not even Zhao Huan could do it.
After all, astronomy is a grand subject, and Zhao Huan is not a professional astronomer. If he talks about it rashly, he may be suspected of misleading others.
However, seeing that the diners were looking forward to it, Zhao Huan was unwilling to throw cold water on them, so he simply gave it a try.
"Tianguan Star Guest, since the guest star is fleeting, it is not difficult to guess that it is caused by the meteorite."
"The reason why this star has never been observed before is because it is too far away from the land where we live."
"The dazzling brilliance bloomed by the meteorite took tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years before it finally shined on the earth, so we can only observe the brilliance for a moment."
"The brilliance of the falling stars passes through the endless darkness of the universe and spans tens of thousands of years, just to show a moment of brilliance in front of the world."
"It's both sad and romantic."
After hearing Zhao Huan's explanation, the entire Hongyan Pavilion fell silent.
No one expected that Zhao Huan would describe Tianguan Xingke so beautifully, and also explain the reason behind it.
The diners and singers present knew nothing about astronomy and could only listen to the excitement.
But the twenty guests listened with excitement.
Their eyes glowed brightly and they looked extremely excited.
Especially the young man in green clenched his fists tightly and looked at Zhao Huan with admiration in his eyes.
""The Emperor's Control of Zodiac" records that if the guest stars do not interfere with each other, those who are prosperous will have great sages in their country."
""Zhao Qingxian Gongji" records that the demon star then appeared, only reaching Zhou Min, and its glory has not faded to this day."
"Many records only observed guest stars leaving Tianguan, but no one has ever been able to explain why."
"Your Majesty has studied the astronomical phenomena so deeply. The brilliance of the falling stars has passed through the expanse of thousands of years and fallen into our eyes. How majestic it is? How beautiful it is?!"
"Your Majesty's knowledge, vision, and talents impress his subordinates."
Zhao Huan's words are naturally like a heavenly book to people who don't understand astronomy.
Therefore, they had no idea what these words meant to the twenty disciples.
Zhao Huan's explanation alone can leave his name in history!
Before the interview even started, twenty guests had already saluted Zhao Huan and said in unison: "Your Majesty is so talented, we are impressed."
When Master Li on the second floor saw this scene, his eyes towards Zhao Huan changed slightly.
So far, Zhao Huan's literary, political and military talents have surpassed the entire Zhao royal family.
Now, even in arithmetic and astronomy, areas of knowledge that few officials had dabbled in, Zhao Huan showed incredible knowledge.
The scene was constantly echoing with the whispers of the singers and diners.
"Your Highness knows too much, right?"
"Nonsense, this is the prince!"
"After what the prince said, even a layman like me understood what Tianguan Xingke is."
"The brilliance that lasts for ten thousand years is magnificent, but the prince's explanation is even more impressive."
"But having said that, the predecessors only observed Tianguan Xingke, why was the prince able to figure out the reason?"
This question is naturally a doubt for everyone.
The young man in green also happened to ask this question: "I dare to ask, how did the prince study the cause of the Tianguan Star Guest?"
"Since it is an infinite distance of tens of thousands of years, it is difficult to see the magnificence of the starfall with the naked eye. Could it be that the prince can judge the cause just based on the brilliance that spans ten thousand years?"
This means that there are many mistakes!
The more you talk, the more you have to explain.
In order to end this gorgeous but meaningless topic as soon as possible, Zhao Huan directly gave a conclusion.
"Of course I, the king, have witnessed the magnificence of the falling stars with my own eyes!"
"However, this requires an astronomical telescope. It is extremely difficult to make this object. It took me ten years to make one, but it was also accidentally damaged."
Astronomical telescope?!
Although this era was able to build extremely complex "water-borne observatories" to assist in observing stars, it knew nothing about "telescopes".
After all, the invention of the world's first telescope would have to wait four hundred years.
But that’s okay!
After all, if Zhao Huan mentioned the astronomical telescope, he would definitely create it. The young man in green looked at Zhao Huan with extremely hot eyes.
"Even if I don't have the opportunity to become a guest in the palace, I am still willing to spend my whole life rebuilding an astronomical telescope for the prince so that I can observe the majestic starfall with my own eyes."
Zhao Huan smiled and nodded, but secretly cursed in his heart.
Damn, this cake is a bit big.
Not to mention astronomical telescopes, even ordinary telescopes cannot be built!
Just the simplest lens can kill Zhao Huan.
Zhao Huan did not dare to continue the discussion and quickly changed the topic: "An astronomical telescope cannot be built overnight, so let's do the interview first."
All the diners were immediately eager to try it.
Zhao Huan did not hesitate and asked straightforwardly: "Not all of the sixteen states of Yanyun have returned to the Han Dynasty. I wonder if you can find a way to restore the territory of our Han Dynasty?"
This topic will always be what the talents of the Song Dynasty are most concerned about.
After all, the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures have always been a pain in the hearts of the Han people.
The twenty guests had already deduced the matter countless times in their minds and responded one after another.
A young man wearing light green clothes stood up directly, holding on to his sleeves, and said with extraordinary confidence: "The Jin people have strong soldiers, and our Song Dynasty soldiers are not weak either. Taking it back by force is the fastest way, although it is risky."
"The reason why we in the Song Dynasty suffered repeated defeats was not because of the soldiers, but because of the weak will of the people who led the troops."
"Looking back at past wars, our army had several opportunities to win, but they were all defeated due to improper command."
"The street battles in Yizhou Prefecture turned decay into magic. If the prince supervises and directs the battle, we will definitely get our homeland back!"
