Divine Capital City, Ningguo Mansion, in the study room——
In the spring afternoon, the sunlight shines through the window lattice and falls on the mahogany tables. Tiny bits of sunlight shine in the hall.
Jia Heng took the paper delivered by Chen Xiao. His resolute and calm face couldn't help but show a hint of thinking. He stared at Chen Xiao and asked, "Xiaoxiao, what is this?"
Chen Xiaodao: "There is a lot of public opinion among the scholars in the capital. It is mentioned that you emphasize the calligraphy work but despise Confucianism and insult the learning of the saints. At the time of the Spring Examination, all scholars gather in the sacred capital. What are you going to do?"
Jia Heng sneered and said: "Sure enough, such remarks came out after all."
Chen Xiao had a thoughtful look on his face and a hesitant tone: "Do you suspect that someone is secretly fueling the fire?"
Jia Heng said: "That's not the case. Now everyone in the government and the public knows that Jinyi is in my hands. With the lessons learned by Li and Xu, not many people in the court dare to go against me."
Chen Xiao hesitated and said, "Then this time..."
Jia Heng's face was solemn and he said in a deep voice: "You can't arrest the scholars, let people guide the public opinion correctly during the arrest."
Chen Xiao thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid there will still be public opinion turmoil over there in Jiangnan."
Jia Heng asked: "Let me pay attention first. I asked you to investigate the situation of the Hao family. How did the investigation go?"
Chen Xiao said: "The situation of the Hao family in recent years has been investigated. As soon as there is news, they will fly and deliver it to Beijing as quickly as possible."
Jia Heng looked indifferent and said in a cold voice: "Those relatives of the Longzhi Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River are also monitored by people from the Jinyi Mansion."
Chen Xiao was silent for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I've already given the explanation."
Jia Heng said: "Recently, you asked the detectives from the Jinyi Mansion to spread throughout the capital, and then asked people to conduct an experiment. Which one of the ten-jin iron ball and the one-jin iron ball would hit the ground first?
, whether an iron ship can sail on the water? In ancient times, Chang'e flew to the moon, and today there is a white rabbit flying into the sky."
Chen Xiao: "???"
Jia Heng said coldly: "At the same time, let people spread it. This is a topic recently developed by the Academy of Sciences. It can be said to be the study of things to gain knowledge."
This can be regarded as the scientific enlightenment of this era. Through these shocking physical experiments, it shatters the arrogance in the hearts of scholars of this era.
When Chen Xiao heard this, a look of surprise appeared in her beautiful, moist eyes under her beautiful brows, and asked: "What are you going to do?"
Jia Heng smiled lightly and said: "Give this era some small scientific shock."
In fact, as a time traveler, he did not have glass, mirrors, and wine in the early stage, so he was somewhat unqualified.
But it is normal. The so-called ordinary man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade. Before he takes power, he can only become a tool in the hands of those in power.
Chen Xiao: "???"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "This era really needs to change."
If the steam engine can be born as expected, then Fang Buwang will come to this world and advance Chinese science and technology for hundreds of years.
While Jia Heng was speaking, he did not continue to linger in the study, but walked quickly towards the back house.

Grand View Garden, Xiaoxiang Pavilion
Lin Daiyu was lying on a bed covered with a thick mattress, her beautiful face seemed to be covered with rouge red clouds, and under the lazy afternoon sun, her skin was white, shiny and charming.
Not far away, Zicuckoo entered the warm pavilion with carved walls on all sides, raised her eyes to look at Daiyu, and whispered: "Girl, drink this anti-fetal medicine."
Daiyu snorted softly, and under her delicate and straight nose, with a bit of coquettishness and tenderness in her voice, she asked: "Is it bitter?"
Zijuan smiled and said, "Girl, just hold your breath."
While talking, Zijuan took the blue and white porcelain medicine bowl, picked up the spoon and gently spread the heat, then scooped up a spoon and handed it to the corner of Daiyu's lips to feed.
But at this moment, the conversation between Xi Ren and Jia Heng was heard outside.
"Uncle, you are here." Under the striking emerald eyebrows, he raised his eyes to look at the young man in python suit, his beautiful eyes full of surprise.
It's been a long time since the prince...favoured her.
Jia Heng's eyebrows were raised, his eyes were deep, he nodded, his face looked surprised, and he asked: "Where is Sister Lin?"
Under the strikingly emerald eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were filled with joy, and she said, "Your Majesty, you are in the room."
Jia Heng nodded and was about to walk into the room. Looking at those bright eyes, like shining stars, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pity deep in his heart.
After all, you have had skin-to-skin contact with me. Seeing those facial features makes you happy, and it is inevitable that you feel a little unbearable.
While Jia Heng was speaking, he gently took Xi Ren's slender hand, feeling the soft, smooth and fresh skin, and asked: "Xiren, your hands are so cold in this cold weather."
However, Xi Ren couldn't help but be stunned. The plump face with a hint of shrewdness was inexplicably shocked, and then he couldn't hide his joy.
As the girl spoke, her nose even felt inexplicably sour, and her eyes were a little sparkling.
The prince feels sorry for her.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "Nowadays, the size is also a decree. From now on, we can just leave such small things to the servants."
Xiren listened to the man's soft whisper in his ear and softly said "hmm". His heart was filled with a warm current, as if he was falling into the clouds, and he was in a trance.
Jia Heng looked at the attacker, sighed in his heart, and said warmly: "Okay."
While Jia Heng was talking, he walked towards the Nuan Pavilion in the inner chamber.
Under the astonishing gaze, Jia Heng entered the hall, stared at Zicuckoo, and said, "Zicuckoo, is Sister Lin in the house?"
Zijuan's white and rosy face was full of smiles, and she said, "The girl is raising her fetus in the house."
Jia Heng nodded, said nothing else, and walked toward the inner room.
At this moment, Daiyu was lying on the bed, her delicate and soft face was white and rosy, and she looked at the young man in the python suit with a smile.
"Here we come." The girl's pink lips parted slightly and she called.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Sister Lin."
The two have been married for several years, but because they are childhood sweethearts, they can still feel the twinkling of affection in their eyes when they look at each other.
While talking, Jia Heng walked quickly to the front, gently took Daiyu's slender hand, and said, "Come and see you."
"How are you raising the baby?" Jia Heng looked at the pretty and bright face with gentle eyes, and said warmly: "Sister Lin, come here and let me take a look at the baby."
Daiyu frowned lightly, and the sides of her crystal jade face suddenly blushed like clouds of shame, and said: "I just showed my pregnancy."
As she said this, the beauty could not help but reach out and gently caress her lower abdomen, her face showing a look of confusion.
Jia Heng held Daiyu's pretty face with both hands, smiled and said, "It's really getting prettier."
When Daiyu was a teenager, she tended to have a fairer, thinner aesthetic, but after having children, her facial lines were undoubtedly plumper and more feminine.
Daiyu snorted, her charming and flowing eyes rolled her eyes at the young man in the python suit, and said, "When have I ever looked bad?"
Jia Heng chuckled and joked: "It still tastes the same."
Even though she is about to become a mother, she still retains the playfulness and femininity of her boudoir girlhood.
Under Daiyu's willowy eyebrows, her starry eyes shone softly, she hummed softly and said, "How is Sister Bao doing over there?"
Jia Heng said: "She has already shown her pregnancy."
Baochai got pregnant relatively early, so her belly looked bigger now, and Baochai was already plump.
Daiyu's eyes flickered and she said softly: "Brother Heng, will Sister Bao and I give birth on the same day?"
Jia Heng smiled and said: "There is no chance that you will give birth on the same day when you are pregnant, but the probability of such a thing is quite small."
Under Daiyu's emerald willow eyebrows, her starry eyes shone like stars, and she said, "I don't know whether Sister Bao's baby is a boy or a girl."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Sister Lin, do you think this baby will be a boy or a girl?"
Hearing this, Daiyu's pretty and bright face turned as red as drunkenness and said: "Brother Heng prefers boys or girls."
Jia Heng smiled, gently held Daiyu's slender hand, and whispered: "As long as it is born to Sister Lin, I like it."
When Daiyu heard this, the sides of her petite and exquisite face were as red as drunkenness, and she said a little shyly: "I still want a boy."
Jia Heng chuckled and said, "If a boy is born, how will Sister Lin teach him in the future?"
Daiyu said: "Just teach him chess, calligraphy and painting."
Jia Heng smiled and said: "In the future, won't he be allowed to study the Four Books and Five Classics and take part in the imperial examination?"
Daiyu pursed her slightly pink lips and said: "In the future, if he wants to take part in the imperial examination, he will take part in the imperial examination. If he does not want to pursue an official career, it would be good to be a wealthy idler who cares about the mountains and rivers."
Jia Heng nodded and agreed: "It's a good thing that Sister Lin has such an idea."
Don’t have too many expectations for your children. Children will be able to be more relaxed in the future. However, when children become adults, they will always face the world alone and accept the torture of reality. They will still realize the importance of power.
Jia Heng was thinking about this, took Daiyu's soft and delicate hand, and whispered: "Sister Lin."
Daiyu's eyes were as bright as water, and when she met those shining eyes, her curved eyelashes trembled and she closed her eyes.
Jia Heng came closer, pursed her two pink lips, and felt a soft and approachable breath coming over her.
After a while, Jia Heng looked at Daiyu, whose face was as red as a blush. Under the bright lights, she could be said to be more delicate than a flower, and she was incomparably brighter.
Jia Heng and Daiyu cuddled for a while.
Daiyu's voice was soft and weak, and she asked with concern: "Dad, what is he busy with recently?"
Jia Heng whispered: "Uncle Lin is busy with the matter of immigrating outside the customs. Nowadays, national affairs are complicated. Uncle, he is the second minister of the cabinet and has a lot to worry about."
Daiyu's snow-skinned face, as white as snow, was already dizzy at this moment. Under her delicate and straight nose, her pink lips seemed to make a slight "hmm", and her starry eyes seemed to be focused.
Dew, crystal clear.
Jia Heng smiled, pinched the beauty's cheek gently, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Sister Lin. Now the Taiyuan Hospital is dedicated to recuperating Uncle Lin's health, so Uncle Lin will not be tired."
Daiyu softly said "Hmm" and lowered her hair, which was as beautiful as a waterfall. Under her willow eyebrows, her starry eyes were as bright as a rainbow.
Jia Heng and Dai Yu sat in the cabin for a while, but without saying much else, they left the cabin and hurried toward the outside.
Daiyu's emerald willow eyebrows were raised, her bright star eyes were as bright as water, as if moistened with soft ripples, and she said: "I drank anti-fetal medicine right now, and I need to take a rest. You
Go and accompany Sister Zijuan and Sister Xiren first, they may not have seen you for a long time."
Jia Heng nodded, gently stretched out his hand to help Daiyu tuck a corner of the quilt, smiled, and said: "Close your eyes and go to sleep."
Daiyu said softly, "Hmm", and slightly closed her shining starry eyes. After a while, the sound of even breathing came from under the beauty's nose.
Jia Heng looked at that soft and lovely face with plump and lovely contours, and felt a little inexplicable pity in his heart.
The Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass that used to cry and always feel sad has now given birth to a child for him, and her heart is much brighter.
While Jia Heng was talking, he got up, walked around the mountain and river screen, came to the hall, and looked up to see Zicuckoo.
Zicuckoo lowered her voice and asked, "The girl is asleep."
Jia Heng said: "Already asleep."
While speaking, Jia Heng took Zicuckoo's slender hand, then looked at Xi Ren, who was about to walk quietly toward the inner room, and whispered: "Xi Ren, let's go together."
With a loud "hmm", Jia Heng followed Jia Heng out of the side room and headed towards the side room with a face as red as white as snow.

Palace Garden, Funing Palace
Concubine Duanrong was wearing navy blue palace clothes, and her plump and white face looked a little haggard.
Most people cannot bear to miss out on a big position, or to say gain and lose again. Most people cannot bear such a blow.
In particular, Concubine Duanrong witnessed the affair between Jia Heng and Empress Song, and one can imagine her resentment towards that person.
At this moment, a graceful female official came from outside with gentle steps. Her voice was as charming and bright as an oriole coming out of the valley: "Empress, the Eighth Prince is here."
The noble concubine Duanrong raised her head with green hair like a waterfall, and looked at the sound with her beautiful eyes.
After a while, the eighth prince Chen Ze was seen walking into the Nuan Pavilion with anger on his face.
Chen Ze is now twelve or thirteen years old. He is tall and tall, with a heroic face, and his eyebrows have a bit of the majesty and awe-inspiring charm of Emperor Chongping during his lifetime.
"Your Majesty, you're back." Concubine Duanrong called softly. She noticed the change in Chen Ze's expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Zedao: "Mother, I just heard from Master Sun in the school that King Wei will soon be blamed by all the officials."
Now Chen Ze almost regards King Wei as a enemy, and in private he and Concubine Duanrong no longer treat Jia Heng as brother-in-law.
Concubine Duanrong's beautiful eyes were as soft as water, she frowned her emerald-green eyebrows, and asked, "What on earth do you want to say?"
Chen Zedao: "King Wei emphasized the study of agriculture and Mohism, but despised the study of Confucianism and etiquette. Now he is recruiting scholars in the spring season. Scholars from all over the world gather in Shenjing. The crowd is furious and waiting for a fire to completely ignite it."
When Concubine Duanrong heard this, she was surprised, her eyes flickered, and she asked: "The study of Nongmo?"
Chen Ze nodded and explained: "Although agriculture and Mohism are beneficial to the country, Confucian etiquette is a glorious and righteous way. If the king of Wei keeps away the virtuous and neglects the villain, disaster is not far away."
Concubine Duanrong's heart moved slightly and she asked: "Ze'er, will your brother-in-law's move cause an uproar among the civil servants in other dynasties?"
Chen Ze's face, as white as jade, was full of coldness, and he said in a low voice: "Not only the civil servants of foreign dynasties, but also scholars all over the world will hate King Wei's rebellious behavior."
Concubine Duanrong looked thoughtful and asked: "Ze'er, can you contact the outside world now?"
When he mentioned this matter, Chen Ze's face turned pale and he said in a low voice: "Now the Jinyi Mansion guards outside are closely monitoring me, and it is difficult for me to communicate with people outside."
As he spoke, Chen Ze's innocent face surged with anger, and he said in a deep voice: "The guards of the Jinyi Mansion outside were originally my royal eagle dogs, but now they are the lackeys of King Wei. If I ascend the throne again, I will kill all these gangs."
Servant of the traitor!"
After hearing this, Imperial Concubine Duanrong whispered: "Ze'er, don't be so violent."
Although Imperial Concubine Duanrong also had a deep hatred for Jia Heng, after all, she was used to being rich and wealthy in the palace, so she could always maintain a somewhat peaceful state of mind.
Chen Zeping calmed down, picked up the tea cup on the small table, took a sip, and said: "Mother, concubine, just wait. King Wei now thinks that he has the power, so he is very satisfied. After this matter,
, there will be loyal ministers and righteous men, diligent kings to fight against rebellion, and justice to punish evildoers."
The imperial concubine Duanrong, with her emerald willow eyebrows as green as daisy, her beautiful eyes with deep eyes, said warmly: "Ze'er, your sister, you have to talk to her properly, we are a family after all."
Chen Ze said softly: "Don't worry, my concubine, my sister and I are biological siblings. Although my sister was deceived by King Wei, she still stands by my concubine and me."
Under the emerald willow eyebrows of Duanrong Imperial Concubine, her crystal clear beautiful eyes were as bright as water, and she said: "Your sister was indeed deceived by your brother-in-law."
At this moment, Chen Ze's fair and flawless face was extremely sinister. Under the dark green thick eyebrows, the gleam in his eyes flickered and appeared. He said: "Mother, my uncle is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. My fourth uncle is an official in Jingzhao Mansion. Is that right?"
Can you help us?"
Concubine Duanrong shook her head slightly and said: "After your third uncle's rebellion in Wei and Liang, he no longer dares to get involved in such dangerous things. Besides, he is the father-in-law of King Wei. As for your fourth uncle, although he is in charge of the government in Jingzhao,
Yin, but I still work for King Wei."
"Crack!"
Chen Ze patted the small table, his resolute and calm face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and said: "Damn it!"
Concubine Duanrong frowned and said, "Where did the Qi-nurturing Kung Fu I taught you go? How heartbroken would your father be if he saw you like this?"
When Chen Ze heard this, his expression changed suddenly, and he quickly said: "What my mother and concubine taught me is that my son and I are impatient."
Concubine Duanrong turned to look out the window with deep eyes and said: "It is not that easy for King Wei to usurp the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty has been a country for hundreds of years, and your father has worked hard to govern and forge ahead to revive the Han Dynasty.
I don’t know how many people with lofty ideals inside and outside the court feel his majesty and virtue, but now that King Wei is so powerful, they are willing to accommodate you and endure the humiliation. As long as the time is right, they will definitely support you."
When Concubine Duanrong said this, she sighed deeply in her heart.
King Wei now has a lot of party members both inside and outside, such as Gao Zhongping, Li Zan, Xu Lu and other loyal ministers and righteous men who have been killed by him. How many courtiers still want to be loyal to the Han Dynasty?
Moreover, King Wei was like an old fox, always trying to make ends meet. Now he and his sister had established Chen Luo as emperor and deceived the world. How could she reveal King Wei's true face?
…
…
Putting aside the worries deep in the heart of Concubine Duanrong for the moment, we can say that in the next five or six days, the discussion among the imperial examination scholars in Beijing about the so-called Academy of Sciences, the internal office of the Imperial College, did not decrease but increased.
Mainly about the question of which of the one-pound iron ball and the ten-pound iron ball will hit the ground first. Secondly, the second is how the iron ship floats on the water. Thirdly, in ancient times, Chang'e flew to the moon, and now the white rabbit flies to the sky.
.
Everyone in Shenjing City was thinking non-stop about these two questions raised by the Imperial College. At the same time, they felt that the so-called white rabbit going to heaven was pure nonsense.
How can a rabbit get to the sky without wings?
Not long after, news came from the Academy of Sciences of the Imperial College that in a few days, before spring, the Imperial College would conduct an experiment in the tower to test which of the two iron balls would hit the ground first.
As soon as this news came out, everyone in Beijing was almost excited about it.
In other words, after several days of hustle and bustle, the imperial examinations in Beijing were also quite curious about Xu Guangqi and the Academy of Sciences in the Imperial College.
