Chapter 795: School Strife

The top of the Jade Emperor Peak, Mount Tai Xue Palace, the creation of the gods, the yin and yang dusk, a high platform with a relatively wide field of vision.

Contrary to the panicked situation in the world and the restless clamor for war in the Qi country, Lu Di was idle and tight, and at this moment he was busy with Mo Zhai to connect something similar to an astronomical telescope.

Because in the past few days, Lu Di has been pondering, there may be another meteor shower in the sky.

It's also strange to say, Lu Di's ten years of dissipation, there are strange things in the sky every year: not to mention the meteor hitting the earth, even the total solar eclipse that is difficult to encounter for decades or even hundreds of years, supermoon, seven stars alignment, broom star (Halley's Comet)...... They were all met by him.

According to the theory of heaven and man induction in this era, the so-called abnormal nature must have great changes. Lu Di doesn't believe in the induction of heaven and man, but the people of the world in this era do, and they vaguely feel that this is God telling the world that there is a big pattern to change.

In fact, people all over the world vaguely feel that it is right, if it is according to the normal historical records and the division of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in later generations, this period is exactly the decade of the final transition from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period.

But fortunately, although this celestial phenomenon was abnormal, it did not bring natural disasters to the Qi country, and this kind of luck brought endless benefits to Lu Di.

It condensed the hearts of people, who were originally fragile and about to jump, on Lu Di again.

The people of Qi believe that their country is protected by the gods, otherwise the other vassal states in the world are all in trouble, why should they only be safe

Then they wondered why the gods protected them and not the other nations.

They thought for a long time and attributed the reason to their monarch, Lu Di. The monarch was diligent and loved the people, and moved the heavens, so he avoided the Qi country when floods and droughts fell.

And this also laid the foundation for Lu Di to go to the mountains and countryside to carry out people's livelihood reforms, so that the reform can be carried out smoothly.

This astronomical telescope doesn't look simple, but it really tired a lot of Lu Di and Mo Zhai's brain cells. The reason is not because Lu Di does not understand the principle of making this astronomical telescope, but because in this era, no parts of the astronomical telescope have been made.

In order to get these parts, Lu Di searched the stomach, searched all over the world, and spent a huge amount of material, financial and energy resources to finally get them together.

Looking at the crude astronomical telescope in front of him, Lu Di carefully assembled it, as if he had witnessed the birth of his first son, holding his little and ugly son, so careful, so worried.

Mo Zhai is also similar to Lu Di, and behind the two of them is an old man who is busy with his affairs, this old man is like a living immortal.

This old man is none other than the most powerful astrologer in today's generation, Ziwei of the Song Kingdom.

Ziwei was originally an important minister of the Song Dynasty and was deeply loved by Song Jinggong, so he was given the surname as his son, but after Song Jinggong died, Ziwei was not welcomed. Later, the Song State and the Qi State married, and the princess Wang Mei of the Song State married Lu Qu, and Lu Di asked the Song State to send an accompanying dowry, including Ziwei.

For Ziwei, Lu Di is very admired, this person's attainments in astronomy, I am afraid that the most outstanding astronomers in later generations are far inferior, after all, later astronomers rely on advanced instruments and equipment to calculate their results, and Ziwei, he just relies on the simple astronomical instruments handed down since the time of the Yellow Emperor, such as Xuanji and the like, can calculate celestial phenomena and deduce the weather, which is really amazing.

When night falls, look up at the starry sky above Mount Tai, and the starry sky is as clean as washing.

"Look, the shower is coming"

This night, Lu Di was satisfied, Mo Zhai was shocked, and Ziwei was a little uncomfortable.

Lu Di was satisfied because he had finally fulfilled his desire to watch meteor showers with an astronomical telescope.

Mo Zhai was shocked, it turned out that the astronomical telescope in the mouth of the king could see the stars so clearly, and the stars originally thought that they were the advent of the gods, but it turned out that it was really just a star!

Ziwei was a little uncomfortable, because the doctrine of "heaven and man induction" and "earth man and sky star" passed down from his ancestors turned out to be false, and the meteor was not a human fall at all, but the burning of stars, just like the burning of charcoal.

"King, the telescope should be destroyed immediately!"

This is after Ziwei tossed and turned for three days and three nights, on the fourth day, he ran to Lu Di's palace with panda eyes and gave advice.

Lu Di was teaching the princes and grandsons to write and paint in the palace at the moment, and he was very surprised to hear Ziwei's suggestion, after all, Ziwei was an astrologer, wouldn't the astronomical telescope for him be of greater benefit to his in-depth study of astronomical phenomena in the future?

Those princes and grandchildren were also stunned, and they put down the pen and ink in their hands, sat quietly at the small desk, and looked at Ziwei.

Ziwei was about to explain the reason, when Mo Zhai's angry voice came from outside the palace: "What do you mean by the great country? Are you trying to bury the truth? ”

Mo Zhai came to the palace to offer the newly researched food tofu, but unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived outside the palace gate, he heard Ziwei say that he wanted to destroy the astronomical telescope. He was initially stunned, but quickly reacted.

Mo Zhai is a smart man, when Ziwei's words just ended, he instantly understood what Ziwei meant, he strode towards the hall, and scolded Ziwei angrily, and the language used was to the point.

Ziwei didn't deny it, he just wanted the world not to know the truth of astronomy, he ignored Mo Zhai, but said sadly to Lu Di: "King, this world has been so chaotic, if you let the people of the world know that the only heaven that can balance them and threaten them is actually a real object without feelings, what will they do?" Do they still have reverence? ”

"King, people should keep their awe!"

"So this thing that destroys the awe of man must be destroyed"

Ziwei said that in the end, the old fairy's calm appearance as water disappeared, and his face was full of hideousness.

Mo Zhai was furious when he heard this, and said back: "Awe comes from the heart, from self-restraint and recuperation, and has nothing to do with the pursuit of facts."

"My lord, I also advocate the doctrine of ghosts and gods, you know that. However, advocating the doctrine of ghosts and gods does not mean that we will deny the pursuit of truth, or even destroy the medium of pursuing truth."

"What's more, the vastness of the sky and the infinity of the universe, can we explore it completely?"

"Forty-eight thousand zhang away, there are no ghosts and gods, but what about forty-eight thousand zhang away?"

"The infinite of the vast is called the mystery, and the mystery is said to be the mystery, because of the mystery, we will be in awe"

"Just like ignorant toddlers, when they are shallow and stupid, they don't think they are afraid of tigers, but when they grow in knowledge, they are in awe."

"Therefore, my lord, Ziwei and I think that on the contrary, we should promote this thing, let the world know that they are so small in front of the heavens, and only then can they give up some desires that will cause turmoil, and let the "law", "order", and "dignity" be embedded in their true hearts.
