Chapter 715: Knowing astronomy from above and geography from below
Youshi, Xianyang Palace.
Li Si, who was wearing a headband and dressed like a Taoist boy, followed him into Xianyang Palace in a state of discomfort.
There was nothing he could do about this, because Li Yunze gave him the opportunity to go to Xianyang Palace to meet the king.
The only requirement is to pretend to be a Taoist follower.
Li Si agreed as quickly as he took a sip of tea.
The reason is simple. He really doesn't want to be kicked out of the recruitment hall and return to Korea in such a desolate state.
After all, apart from manufacturing beauties...ahem, I made a mistake, apart from manufacturing bows and crossbows, Korea can do nothing else.
The consensus among the people in the world is that South Korea must be the first among the countries to be destroyed.
As for trying your luck in other countries, if there are high-speed trains and planes in this era, the journey of thousands of miles is fatal and will drain your family wealth!
In comparison, playing the role of a Taoist boy is nothing.
Looking at the magnificent Xianyang Palace in front of him, Li Si was filled with wonder.
Compared with Xianyang Palace, Korean palaces look like country bumpkins.
Li Yunze didn't care at all.
After all, he has seen and lived in all kinds of palaces.
No matter how awesome Xianyang Palace is, it can't compare to Weiyang Palace.
Li Yunze's demeanor, who was used to seeing big scenes, amazed the leader Changping Jun.
'Not an ordinary person.'
In this era where information is scarce and people who have read hundreds of thousands of words of books can say that they are knowledgeable and rich, those who are not frightened when seeing a big scene or whose expression does not change are not ordinary people.
Mr. Changping also felt a little regretful. Why are such talents unwilling to serve me?
He was born as a prince of the Chu Kingdom and was a leading figure in the Chu clan of Great Qin. Logically speaking, he was not bad at all.
The group of people walked through corridors, alleys, and palaces for a long time before arriving at the palace of King Qin.
Recruiting and recruiting talent should be done in big stores.
However, Lu Buwei took action and refused to allow the king to use the main hall because of his young age.
Everyone knows that Li Yunze gained the appreciation of King Qin by fighting against Lu Buwei. At this time, it was appropriate for Lu Buwei to intervene.
Rows of Qin troops stood around the main hall with long swords in hand, expressionless faces like terracotta warriors and horses.
Li Yunze nodded and followed Lord Changping into the hall.
The young King Qin was sitting behind the desk, his eyes falling directly on Li Yunze.
Apart from anything else, the aura that Li Yunze has developed after so many worlds is indeed very eye-catching.
When he traveled around the world in the modern world, many girls from all over the world were attracted by his aura, and they took the initiative to flirt with her, just wanting to have sex.
After that, Changping-kun was naturally the one who introduced me, and we went through the process to get to know each other.
There is no kneeling ceremony these days. No one except the parents of heaven and earth knows how to kneel.
It's not like the later dynasties... Tsk tsk.
"I heard that sir is a great talent." The young Ying Zheng used his ugly duck voice and tried his best to play the role of a majestic king. "I would like to invite you to meet me to clarify my doubts."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite."
Li Yunze, who was sitting upright, nodded and said, "A certain person knows astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom. He knew it five hundred years ago and five hundred years later. He is excellent in both literature, Taoism and military strategy."
Li Si, who was disguised as a Taoist boy and stayed near the palace gate, almost sat on the ground after hearing this.
"You have such a loud voice!"
It was obvious that young Ying Zheng was also a little frightened. This was too bragging.
Ying Zheng coughed and regained his composure and decided to make the shameless guy in front of him look embarrassed.
"Does God know astronomy? Do you know who lives on the moon?"
Li Yunze smiled slightly, but unfortunately there was no feather fan in his hand. "There is no one on the moon. It is a desert land that is silent and desolate."
Ying Zheng also smiled, "How to get the certificate?"
Who doesn't know how to talk nonsense? Just open your mouth and talk. No one can go to the moon to find out what's going on.
"Simple."
Li Yunze turned around and said, "Li Si, look at the moon outside."
Subconsciously raising his hand and pointing at himself, Li Si Xin said, "What a good brother. He even knows how to mention my name in front of the king."
Seeing Li Yunze nodding, Li Si, who had regained his composure, hurriedly stood up and looked out at the sky.
Although the sky is not completely dark yet, the moon is already hanging in the sky.
The night sky of this era is not as air-polluted and light-polluted as it was in later generations. Not to mention the stars, not even the moon can be seen in the night sky.
The night sky in Daqin is pure, and you can see the bright moon hanging in the night sky at a glance.
Li Si turned around and deliberately said in a controlled tone, "Yes."
After I finished speaking, I regretted it. I should have said a few more words. It was a rare opportunity to show my face and speak in front of the king, so I missed it.
Li Yunze stood up and took a few steps forward, came to Ying Zheng, reached out and took out the monocular telescope from his sleeve...
The sound of rapid footsteps sounded, and the panic-stricken Lord Changping rushed over with a group of Xianyang palace guards, about to capture Li Yunze.
Mr. Changping was frightened. He had obviously been searched before, so why was there something on him?!
Ying Zheng was also a little surprised, but quickly shouted "Stop!"
The palace guards stopped in their tracks, but the swords in their hands were leveled. With just one command, they could stab Li Yunze into a bloody gourd.
"Your Majesty."
Playing with the monocular telescope in his hand, Li Yunze signaled to the palace guards around him, "If someone really wants to do harm to the king, he can't stop me with these rotten sweet potatoes and stinky bird eggs."
The palace guards were so angry that they wanted to take action directly.
The reason why Ying Zheng shouted to stop was because Li Yunze took out the stick-like object and made no movement. It did not look like he was going to stab him.
And before Jing Ke, Ying Zheng didn't have much psychological shadow in this regard.
"What is this?"
"This is a handmade thing, named a telescope." Li Yunze explained, "It can look into the distance. It is suitable for seeing if there is anyone on the moon."
This is a bit exaggerated. It’s okay to look at craters, craters, etc., especially when the weather conditions are good at this time.
But see if there is anyone on the moon...unless it is someone whose length is measured in kilometers.
If there really is such a person on the moon who is several kilometers long, then Li Yunze must have opened the space-time gate and ran away without saying a word.
No matter it is a god or an alien, Li Yunze will not fight against it.
Talk back.
Ying Zheng, who was young but courageous, felt that Li Yunze did not look like an assassin, but he actually had the courage to use the telescope, and got up and walked out of the palace.
Seeing that the king was out of the attack range and Li Yunze did not move, Lord Changping breathed a sigh of relief.
If he really introduced the assassin into the palace, then he would be regarded as one.
He glared fiercely at Li Yunze, who was sitting leisurely, and didn't have time to ask how Li Yunze managed to evade the search and bring this thing in.
Changping Jun hurriedly followed Ying Zheng's footsteps out of the hall, and quickly came outside, where he saw the king holding up the strange short stick and looking at the moon in the night sky.
"There's nothing." Ying Zheng said doubtfully, "There's nothing vaguely."
Li Yunze's slightly lazy voice came to his ears, "Turn around and try."
Ying Zheng didn't think about why the distance was so far. Li Yunze could still hear his own words. He subconsciously turned the monocular and looked over again with one eye closed. He suddenly became enlightened.
"Ouch! Huh? Hiss~~~"
This monocular telescope was indeed made by Li Yunze. He had found some small items while doing nothing in the recruitment hall.
Except for the lenses, which were brought from the modern world, most of the construction was handmade by him.
As expected, Ying Zheng saw the craters on the moon and saw the densely packed craters that looked like pockmarked faces.
But there was no sign of anyone moving up there.
Of course, this is not a professional astronomical telescope, just a rough look.
Ying Zheng, who suddenly got a new toy, played with it carefully for a long time. When the night wind blew by, he reluctantly put it away and turned back to the palace.
He waved his hand and asked the palace guards surrounding Li Yunze to retreat.
Ying Zheng sat down again and nodded with a smile, "It's such a good thing, I like it very much."
"This is originally given to the king, so just accept it."
Ying Zheng nodded and handed the binoculars to the eunuch who was waiting for him. He also said, "Keep it carefully and don't damage it."
Sitting down again, Ying Zheng's expression was different. He asked curiously, "Sir, I know a lot about astronomy. I believe you. But what do you mean when you say you know geography?"
Li Yunze didn't say anything, but reached into his wide sleeves again.
Then, in full view of everyone, he took out a wooden ball with a wooden stand from his sleeve.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Changping almost lost his temper.
The guards at Xianyang Palace were too perfunctory. How did the palace guards search me before?
You can't even find such a big thing in your sleeves. A blind man would be more reliable as the guard of Xianyang Palace than they are!
This time, there was no need for Li Yunze to get up and send him over. Ying Zheng, whose curiosity had been aroused, simply got up and walked over by himself, sitting cross-legged opposite Li Yunze.
In fact, in history, before Jing Ke assassinated Qin, Ying Zheng still trusted people from various countries in the Kanto region who had defected.
But after Jing Ke assassinated Qin, Ying Zheng was completely disappointed with the people from Guandong. Not only did he alienate them, but from then on he only trusted the old Qin people.
Naturally, he had nothing to do when he was alive, but after his death, when even the old Qin people are unwilling to sacrifice their lives for the Great Qin, then the Great Qin is destined to be destroyed.
There aren't that many things going on right now.
Place the wooden ball with the stand on the table in front of you, reach out your hand and gently flick the wooden ball, and the wooden ball will spin quickly.
Ying Zheng asked curiously, "Sir, what is this?"
"This thing is called a globe."
Needless to say, it goes without saying that Li Yunze made this by hand when he was in the recruitment hall.
"Earth?" Ying Zheng became more and more curious, "What kind of ball is that?"
"A big ball."
Li Yunze stretched out his hand to stop the rotating globe and said loudly, "Your Majesty, the land we live on is the earth."
"Sir's words are so ridiculous."
Hearing this, Ying Zheng immediately laughed, "I have heard of the sky being round and the earth being round, but I have never heard that the sky is round and the earth is round. If the earth is a ball, then why didn't we fall down?"
Li Yunze's smile continued: "Has your Majesty ever been to the beach?"
"Um?"
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, "No."
"Friends who have been to the beach know that when a fishing boat comes back from a fishing trip, the first thing that appears is the sail, not the bow."
