Chapter 138: Feng Jue Storm

Zhu Qizhen just returned to Beijing.

Ming Pao has already made a sound. There is a heavy pen to describe the steam engine, and it points out that the steam engine has two functions, one is used to lift water, and the other is used to replace horses. It is to run on the road.

The reason why Zhu Qizhen made this matter so popular was that he wanted to promote it scientifically. At least he could let the people of the Ming Dynasty have such a concept in their minds.

Most ordinary people regard this matter as a strange and strange theory, some believe it and some don’t believe it.

I believe that Ming Pao is the mouthpiece of the court and should not speak nonsense. Some people think this is impossible.

But overall, it was just some discussion after dinner.

A truly sensitive person keenly discovered some details here. That is, the court had the meaning of being named Belin.

This slight slightest sound made many people feel something was wrong.

Those who feel something is wrong are Wu and Bi.

Wu Yubi presided over the Tianli Jue for several years. On the one hand, he spoke out against various political situations. On the other hand, Wu Yubi was determined to find the way of the external king of Neo-Confucianism. Therefore, he kept thinking hard in his heart and exhausted his energy.

In just a few years, Wu and Bi have grown much older.

This news surprised Wu Yubi even more. He couldn't understand why the emperor did this?

After being a white-clothed censor for several years, he pondered government orders and discussed writings every day. On the other hand, he studied classics and found a Taoist tradition that suits His Majesty's wishes.

Wu Yubi has figured out his Majesty a lot.

I dare not say that there is no problem here.

But I still understand it in general. In his eyes, the emperor himself was a person who attached great importance to rules. It seemed that the emperor changed the rules and regulations so vigorously. However, he had some principles for the government and was relatively abiding by them. Among them, he was not allowed to be awarded titles without military merits, and he even had a big fuss with his mother for this matter.

Everyone in Beijing knows this.

So why did the emperor seem to have become a different person in this matter?

As the chief minister of the cabinet, Liu Dingzhi had thought about this issue, but maintaining principles and maintaining the court system was something he had to do.

But Wu and Bi are different.

He was not in his position, and he wanted to know more about what the emperor was thinking. It was also easier to improve his theory and let Neo-Confucianism return to his position.

He thought to himself: "The key to all this lies in the steam engine, or Belin."

So he got up and went to visit Belin's Heart.

Wu and Bi were in the capital for several years. Although they did not have any official position, they had already become famous all over the world and became a well-known scholar in the world.

Even more famous than when I was in Jiangxi.

This is also one of the powers of newspapers.

Before, Wu and Bi's reputation was only in the officialdom of the sect. Now, even peddlers and pawns know that there is a Mr. Wu who is very knowledgeable and has excellent character, and even an emperor should pay attention to it.

As a result, when Wu and Bi became famous, they also built a network of relationships for themselves.

He became interested in visiting Belin and quickly found out about Belin's situation. He brought a disciple and went to visit the door.

But when I arrived at Bei's house, I saw a mess outside, and the door was closed. No matter how I knocked, I would not open the door. However, there was still a sound inside.

Wu and Bi naturally persevered and asked their disciples to knock on the door.

I don’t know how long it took, an old servant opened a crack in the door and said, “Are you upset?------?”

Before he finished speaking, he saw Wu and Bi in front of him.

Wu Yubi's simple green collar was covered with white hair, but he had been studying for many years and had long read books into his bones, and his temperament was revealed.

When the old servant saw this, he knew that he was extraordinary and not an ordinary person. Then he changed his words and said, "Sir, yes-----"

Wu Yubi signaled his disciples to present the greeting letter and said, "Wu greets your master, please see you again."

The old servant took it with both hands, closed the door immediately, and went to the backyard in a hurry.

Soon, Belin came in a hurry, and asked someone to open the door. Then he bowed and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Wu to come to visit. I'm really rude. I'm sorry for my crime."

Although Belin is a third-rank official, she is a mixed and enterprising person. In terms of social status, she may not be as good as Wu and Bi, a great scholar who is full of talents all over the world.

Wu Yubi returned the courtesy and said, "I took the liberty."

Beilin seemed to be afraid of something, so she quickly asked Wu Yubi to go in, and then asked him to close the door and insert several door bolts, as if she was worried that someone would crash into it with a giant tree.

After seeing the old servant doing all this, Belin relaxed a little. He saw Wu Yubi's strange gaze and said, "Mr. Wu, don't blame me, because of Your Majesty's love, he wanted to grant me a title, which made the court talk a lot. Some censors and students thought I was the source of cholera, so they came to my house and asked me to resign. In fact, when Your Majesty was interested, I had already resigned as soon as possible, but God's will was unpredictable. I really had no choice but to go there if Mr. If he came for this, he would have to go there in vain."

Belin thought Wu and Bi came because of this, so he talked about the hatred first.

After Wu Yubi heard this, this confirmed his conjecture. Belin is not a person who is ignorant of advancement and retreat, but knows the right measure. Now he doesn't want this title, so that's what His Majesty meant.

Why did Your Majesty do this?

Wu Yubi was even more curious.

He smiled softly and said to Belin: "Please rest assured, Lord Bei, I am not here for this."

While Belin breathed a sigh of relief, he was also curious and said, "Why did sir come here?"

Belin and Wu Yubi said they had nothing to do with each other, but they had met each other several times on some occasions. If it was related, it would be too nonsense.

Wu Yubi said, "I actually came for the steam engine. Seeing that the Ming Pao was so amazing, I couldn't understand it. This is for Lord Bei to give me advice."

After hearing this, Belin smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that I would startle the sir. I naturally know everything about this."

The two of them entered the main hall and served tea, and then Beilin began to explain the principle of the steam engine to Wu and Bi.

Although Wu Yubi is not a corrupt scholar and has achieved some accomplishments in many places, it is impossible to compare with Belin. Wu Yubi first talked about the principle of steam, as well as mechanical principles such as gears and leverage.

Of course, Wu Yubi's understanding of these things cannot be elevated to the principle level, and he is even more of an application level.

From this perspective, it is not necessarily wrong for Liu Ding to call Wu and Bi the talent of craftsmen.

There is also a lot of math knowledge.

At the beginning, Belin was worried that Wu Yubi would not understand, but she didn't think that although Wu Yubi was old, her ability to accept was not weak. In addition, Wu Yubi was not ashamed to ask, and as long as she didn't understand, she would ask.

Only when he said that the sky was dusk, Wu Yubi heard a rough answer. Even so, he was quite shocked to Wu Yubi's heart.

In particular, Zhu Qizhen told Wu Yubi some experimental concepts and methods.

For Wu and Bi, it was a sense of enlightenment.

My eyes suddenly lit up. An inspiration was grabbed by Wu and Bi tightly.

But he was still a little uncertain, and he asked, "Can you see the steam engine?"

Belin pondered for a moment and said, "This steam engine is a powerful weapon in the military and the country, and it is naturally impossible for ordinary people to see. But Mr. is not an ordinary person. Just so I will be going back to Zunhua in the past few days. Mr. Let me come together. I will naturally let Mr. see the real thing."

There was a feeling of depression in Belin's tone.

Without it, Belin didn't want to go back to Zunhua. He wanted to resolve the storm, but after returning to the capital, he found that he was powerless to do anything about this matter.

Nothing can be done will only make things worse and worse. We can only return to Zunhua and continue to research and improvement of steam engines.

But in this way, Belin was left to fate. Once the court made a decision, he could not change it at all. He might even bring disaster to the steam engine.

But Belin has no other way.
