Chapter 15                                                             �

"Get up, there is no need to be polite." A voice said.

Zhou Mengchen stood up and dared to look up slightly. He found that there were three people in front of him. One was Yang Shoujing and the other was two Taoist priests.

Yes, just looking at the clothes, there are two Taoist priests.

As the first person to sell goods in China, Emperor Jiajing wears Taoist robe for 365 days a year, except for attending major occasions. Just looking at his clothes, he really can't tell who the emperor is? However, after all, the Ming Dynasty was a society of etiquette and law. Even if Emperor Jiajing wears Taoist robe, his position was the absolute master.

The so-called Your Majesty.

It means that ministers cannot look directly at the emperor, they can only look at the steps and call them the emperor in this way.

A shallow step is a difference between the king and the minister.

Zhou Mengchen quickly confirmed who the emperor was.

Emperor Jiajing was thin and looked very healthy. In addition, his genetic foundation was very good, and he looked like a handsome uncle in his forties. In addition, he was wearing a Taoist robe, which was quite a bit like a fairy-like character. Just when Zhou Mengchen was looking at Jiajing, Jiajing was also looking at Zhou Mengchen.

Zhou Mengchen was also handsome. He wore an eighth-rank green official robe, but it made him look a bit grand.

Especially Zhou Mengchen has a special temperament that Jiajing has never seen before.

There is nothing else, Zhou Mengchen is a modern person after all.

Even if he was a little scared of Emperor Jiajing, this fear was more like fear of his boss who could control his future than his emperor.

After all, there is no emperor in later generations.

For the ancients, the relationship between the king and the father was very special to the emperor. For the lower class, the emperor was almost equated with the gods. For the scholars and officials, even if there were conflicts between them and the emperor, the emperor had a special status in their hearts.

But Zhou Mengchen had nothing at all.

This kind of psychology is reflected outside, that is, Jiajing looked at Zhou Mengchen and felt that Zhou Mengchen was a little calm and confident when he saw him.

This made Jiajing look at Zhou Mengchen with a good impression.

After all, for the emperor, the people around him were respectful and flattering. Even the ministers had various thoughts. No matter how well they disguised, they could not escape Jiajing's eyes. However, Zhou Mengchen was different from them.

Emperor Jiajing said, "I heard from the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor that you were born at the wrong time. If you could be with the pre-Qin genius during the Spring and Autumn Period, you would be very curious and want to hear what your opinions are there?"

After hearing this, Zhou Mengchen couldn't help but look at Yang Shoujing and said to himself: "How did I offend Yang Shoujing? Is this so harmful to me?"

Yes, in Zhou Mengchen's opinion, this is what Yang Shoujing wants to praise and kill him.

Zhou Mengchen just wanted to secretly spread his thoughts, but he didn't know that many things were never hidden, especially the glory of his thoughts.

As it was, Zhou Mengchen felt that the situation he was facing was completely out of his control. The large number of popular science he prepared about heliocentric theory was probably not the focus.

Zhou Mengchen said: "What ability can I get from my place to get Lord Yang? I am so proud of it. I am confident that I have made achievements in astronomy. If Your Majesty wants to listen to the way of astronomy, I am willing to tell you about it, but the rest will not dare to say too much."

Jiajing glanced at Shao Yuanjie and said, "Okay, then let's talk about your heliocentric theory? I'm very interested."

Zhou Mengchen said: "Yes."

Then he started talking about it in detail.

Zhou Mengchen talked about the phenomena and proofs of the heliocentric theory, even calculations, as well as the calculation of solar and lunar eclipses based on the heliocentric theory, etc. These things are things he has prepared for a long time, so they talk endlessly and spread thousands of miles apart.

Jiajing was also fascinated by hearing this.

To be honest, although Zhou Mengchen tried to better present the content of the heliocentric theory to the people of this era, it was still a bit difficult for many people without foundation to fully understand and understand this theory. After all, the heliocentric theory is abnormal to common sense for people of this era.

Many of them cannot understand why the earth that does not move under their feet is moving, and the sun that moves in the sky every day is still moving.

But for Jiajing, understanding these is not a problem at all.

Even in many things, we can learn from one example. This proves one thing, that is, the government and the people's evaluation of the emperor's "smart" is absolutely true.

In fact, Shao Yuanjie was not a flaw. He had long known the content of the heliocentric theory. At this moment, he could not find any flaws after listening to Zhou Mengchen's preaching. After all, he is a relatively amateur. He is not as good as Yang Shoujing in astronomy.

However, Shao Yuanjie was a little amateur in astronomy, but he was not an amateur in the Taoist scriptures. Since he was impeccable in the astronomical calendar, then attack from other aspects.

Shao Yuanjie said: "Your Majesty, the heaven and earth are as chaotic as chickens, Pangu is born in it. After 18,000 years, the heaven and earth are opened up, the yang is clear, and the yin is turbid to be the earth. Therefore, the sky moves and the earth is quiet, which is the words of ancient sages. Mr. Zhou's words, I don't know where Pangu is?"

Zhou Mengchen was also prepared for this and said, "The theory of Pangu opening up the sky has been passed down for a long time, but who can see it? It is simply a joke to regard it as a trustworthy history."

"As for the saying that the sky moves and the earth is quiet, it is understandable that others say it? But it is too much for Master Shao to say this."

Shao Yuanjie frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "How could Master Shao Tian not understand the way of yin and yang? In all things in the world, there is yang in yin and yin in yang, and the same is true for the sun, moon and stars, there is stillness in movement, and there is movement in tranquility. Master Shao Tian does not understand this principle, and this is because he has not read the Taoist scriptures clearly."

While Yang Shoujing was listening, he suddenly felt a familiar feeling. It seemed that Zhou Mengchen, who had angered Wu Heng to death for the previous few words, was back again. His eyes looked at Shao Tianshi and couldn't help but bring out a hint of pity.

Shao Yuanjie was choked by Zhou Mengchen's words.

From the perspective of Yin and Yang, Zhou Mengchen said nothing. Although Shao Yuanjie did not believe in what is the knowledge of the movement reference system of movement, he could not refute it. He gritted his teeth and said, "The Taoist scriptures have thirty-six levels of heaven, and they are the residence of gods and immortals. According to Mr. Zhou, where are the thirty-six heavens? Where are the gods and immortals?"

Shao Yuan skipped by Jiajing and said meaningfully: "Where is immortality?"

Zhou Mengchen's heart skipped a beat and said to himself: "I'm in trouble."

Zhou Mengchen never forgot a fact that he was not here to participate in the debate, nor did he want to convince Shao Yuanjie. The person he wanted to convince was Emperor Jiajing who was watching on the side. If this was really a debate, then Emperor Jiajing was the referee who could determine the outcome.

What Shao Yuanjie said is easy to refute?

Of course it is very easy to refute.

Zhou Mengchen had a hundred ways to criticize Shao Yuanjie in a perfect state. But is this meaningful?

No.

Shao Yuanjie's words were actually not for Zhou Mengchen, but for Jiajing.

It is just a hint that only they can bring the method of immortality to Emperor Jiajing.

Zhou Mengchen could make the whole body of Shao Yuanjie criticized, and theoretically deny that the Taoist so-called thirty-six days does not exist, the so-called gods do not exist, and the so-called immortals do not exist? But what is the meaning of this?

Zhou Mengchen knew another characteristic of Emperor Jiajing.

That is paranoid.

When seeking immortality, I am extremely paranoid.

I don’t know how many ministers have advised you. What is the effect of Zhou Mengchen alone? I guess there is no effect? ​​However, Zhou Mengchen’s fate is expected. Even Zhou Mengchen’s theory will be greatly hit.

After all, for the current Emperor Jiajing, who said that immortality is hard to seek? It does not exist. It is his enemy.

what to do?

In an instant, countless thoughts surged in Zhou Mengchen's mind, and finally remembered Zhang Juzheng's words, that is: When you don't know what to do in front of Jiajing, just tell the truth. With Zhou Mengchen's ability, don't think about cheating Emperor Jiajing in person without being discovered.

Zhou Mengchen gritted his teeth in his heart and said, "What kind of sayings about gods is just a perfunctory theory, and the same is true for Thirty-Six Days, it is all nonsense."
