Chapter 162: The Reason for Deceiving the Heavens
Deception?!
I'm still Monkey King, Monkey King.
Zhu Ping'an coughed, bowed to the old man next door, and replied innocently and helplessly, "Ahem, boss, you always joke, the kid has a thin body, but he can't bear the name of deception." ”
"Can't afford it?!"
The old man next door listened to Zhu Ping'an's words, and became excited again, grabbing the fence and glaring at Zhu Ping'an, "What, boy, you still don't admit it?!" ”
"Dare to ask the boss, what have I done?!"
Zhu Ping'an listened to the words of his old neighbor, he was very helpless and wronged, although he was not a capable minister, but he couldn't have anything to do with the "deceitful" traitor.
"What have you done?!"
When the old man heard this, he blew his beard again and glared, and slapped the fence with emotion.
"Don't hurt yourself." Seeing this, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but worry about this short-tempered old man.
"Hmph. Lian Po is still able to eat, and the old man is also old and strong. ”
The old man snorted stubbornly, his mouth stiffened, but his palm was behind his back and shook it gently.
"When you look old, you look old and strong."
Zhu Ping'an gave full play to the traditional virtues of respecting the old and loving the young, smiled and praised it, not like a stubborn old man. The old man is so old, and it is not easy to be locked up in this extremely poor prison cell.
"If you are complimented, you will come as soon as you open your mouth, and you are really a sycophant."
When the old man listened to Zhu Ping'an's words, not only did he not ease his emotions, but he blew his beard and became even more energetic.
Belch.
This old man has a deep prejudice against himself.
Zhu Ping'an listened to the old man's personal attack, couldn't help but take a deep breath, stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, looked at the old man helplessly, and arched his hand, "The kid is stupid, I really don't know what I did wrong, and I ask the old man to give me advice." ”
"I don't know what I've done wrong?" When the old man heard this, he lost his temper and slapped the fence again with emotion.
"Please also ask the boss to give advice, and the boy will listen to you." Zhu Ping'an bowed down and said seriously, "If the kid is really wrong, he will never evade responsibility." ”
Zhu Ping'an's attitude made the old man a little satisfied, snorted in a nasal voice, and nodded, "Okay, the old man will tell you to understand." ”
"Last month, there was an eclipse of the sun. This is a vision from heaven to show the Son of Heaven. Why?! The Son of Heaven did something wrong, so much so that he sensed the heavens, and the heavens revealed a vision of a solar eclipse to warn and condemn the Son of Heaven. At this time, the ritual of salvation should be routinely performed, and the Son of Heaven should fast, degrade food, waste pleasure, and retreat to the main hall, in addition to cultivating virtue and correcting mistakes, and the same should be true for the hundred officials. But during the solar eclipse, as a courtier, it is natural to advise for rescue. The stubborn old man was foaming at the mouth, and he couldn't help but get excited as he spoke, "But what about you?!" Your kid is a sycophant, and he doesn't even care about the duties of a courtier, so he knows how to pat a sycophant, what 'Your Majesty uses his father to serve the day, his brother to serve the day, to govern diligently, to love the herdsmen, to cultivate internal affairs, to strengthen the country and make the people rich, and to benefit the world. Therefore, the group of yin retreated, and Vientiane was bright. It is to use the sun to shine, the atmosphere is shining, and the food is stopped, and it is the same as not eating. The minister is very happy, ......, you are not happy to fart! You're blind, the eclipse is above your head, so big, you can't see it?! What 'eat for a point, the same as not eating', open your eyes and talk nonsense, you kid who are you bullying, bullying God?! ”
Belch.
That's what happened.
Zhu Ping'an scratched his head suddenly, and at this time he finally understood why the old neighbor blew his beard and glared when he heard his name, and backhanded himself a hat of "bullying the sky".
Insight determines height.
Zhu Ping'an can also understand the mood of the old neighbor.
In the feudal and superstitious Ming Dynasty, the ancients did not understand the scientific explanation of the solar eclipse, and believed that the solar eclipse was a "bad omen", and explained the solar eclipse with "the unity of heaven and man". The emperor is the eldest son of the emperor - the eldest son of the emperor, and the heavens are the emperor's father, and he will warn and warn his eldest son through the phenomena on the surface of the sun, such as you are ignorant for the king, you have done something wrong, you have to be more careful if you are in danger recently, etc...... As a courtier, you have a duty to help the king correct his mistakes and avoid danger, and to provide relief for the eclipse.
This is the kind of insight of the old neighbor, and the height of knowledge is naturally limited by this knowledge.
As a result, a solar eclipse occurred, and he wrote a note, "Eating for a minute, the same as not eating, and the minister is not happy", which naturally cannot be accepted by the old neighbors.
Measured by the old neighbor's standard of knowledge, he is a cowardly little traitor, no, a big traitor.
How do you explain this to him? Popularize natural science for him? Come on, come on, sit down, sit, I'll popularize natural science for you, this solar eclipse and lunar eclipse are both examples of light propagating in a straight line in the same homogeneous medium, when the moon, yes, the moon above our heads, when it moves between the sun and the earth, what, how it moves, if the three are exactly in a straight line, the moon will block the sun's light from the earth, so that the black shadow behind the moon just falls on the earth, and the solar eclipse is produced.
Pull it down, I don't want to be burned at the stake! Natural science is contrary to the common sense of the ancients, and in their eyes it is heresy! It is not much different from the treatment of witches and cults, and according to the standard, they will all be put on the gallows.
However, it can't be left unexplained, otherwise the hat of the traitor will not be able to take off by himself; And this old man is so old, he is still in prison, and when he sees his anger value, he soars in a straight line, which is too dangerous; In addition, it is estimated that I may have to squat in this edict for a period of time, and the neighborhood relationship can be done well, the conditions of the edict and prison are so difficult, if the old neighbors are full of all kinds of white eyes, contempt and abuse every day, then the days of squatting in prison will be even more difficult.
"Ahem, sir, what you just said is indeed my own hand, but there is a reason for it, please listen to me explain a thing or two." Zhu Ping'an coughed and waved his hand to the neighbor's boss.
"Hmph, then I'll listen to how you reversed black and white."
The stubborn old man snorted, brushed his messy beard and nodded, then found a dry place, rubbed some hay with his feet, and sat down, looking like a melon-eating crowd.
Listen to how I reverse black and white?!
Before he explained it, this old man had already defined himself. And this tone...... How does it feel like squatting in prison and squatting, listening to your own quibbles, relieving your boredom, and passing the time?!
Zhu Ping'an looked at the old man who ate melons speechlessly.
"What are you doing in a daze, start your reversal of black and white." The old man who was sitting on the ground eating melons urged.
