Chapter 124 Mingchen and foreigners
After Shen Ye was imprisoned, he also saw a lot of people, and there were all kinds of people in this prison, including murderers, rapists, and traitors......
However, perhaps because of Emperor Chongzhen's arrangement, Shen Ye was not in the same prisoner's room with these perverted prisoners. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Instead, he was with a Ming minister.
This Ming minister's name is Xu Youwei, he is kind and kind-eyed, and he speaks gentlely, he is a person who reads poetry and books, and he is very educated, and the crime of his imprisonment is nothing more than criticism of Chongzhen.
When Chongzhen was angry, he let him be imprisoned for reflection, but he didn't torture him, but just imprisoned him, and he was still provided with three meals a day on weekdays, and his cell was also the best in this prison.
After Shen Ye came in, Xu Youwei looked down on Shen Ye at first, thinking that he was qualified to be in the same cell with him, and he was very arrogant.
However, since this Xu Youwei was reciting the Book of Poetry, it seemed that he had missed a sentence, and Shen Ye added it to him, this Xu Youwei was immediately impressed by Shen Ye, and actually took the initiative to ask Shen Ye about his origin, discussed the Book of Poetry and Chu Ci with him, and talked about Tang and Song poems on weekdays, and even pulled Shen Ye in the middle of the night to chat about the opinions of the four great inventions.
Shen Ye can also see that this person is really talented, and with some knowledge of the earth, he knows that in this feudal Ming Dynasty, this Xu Youwei can pay attention to overseas knowledge, as well as science and technology, and is a real learned person.
"Little brother Shen Ye, you are really the most talented person since the old man was imprisoned. People like you really shouldn't be imprisoned in this prison, but should go out. One day, after chatting with Shen Ye about some insights on scientific knowledge, Xu Youwei looked at Shen Ye with emotion, thinking that talents were buried, and in the exchange with Shen Ye, he could often get new ideas and was very inspired.
Shen Ye smiled faintly, he came in, it was voluntary, and he wanted to go out, it was very simple, so he politely refused and said: "It's okay, in this, it's good to be able to chat with adults." ”
"No, it's too much time here, although the old man is still here, but there are still some old friends outside, you wait for me, I'll get you through the relationship these days." Let's see if someone can let you out early. Xu Youwei said.
Shen Ye couldn't help but hold his forehead when he heard this, do you know an old friend who has a high status as an emperor, as long as I want to go out, I can go out at any time, don't bother with your old age, although you are kind.
Just when Shen Ye was thinking about how to politely refuse Xu Youwei's kindness, a familiar immature voice suddenly came from outside: "Shen Ye, I'm coming to see you!"
The person who came was Princess Kunxing, since she recognized Shen Ye as her master, she would not call herself a princess, of course, she would not expose herself to Shen Ye's apprentice in front of others.
When Xu Youwei heard this voice, he felt a little familiar, but because Kunxing didn't call himself a princess, he didn't recognize it at first, and when the visitor walked to the door of the iron bar, he stared wide-eyed: "Princess?
"Hey, Uncle Xu, are you there too?" Princess Kunxing was also a little surprised when she saw Xu Youwei.
Xu Youwei smiled bitterly: "Yes, princess, I haven't seen you for a while...... How did you get here?"
"I'm here to see ...... Shen Ye's. Princess Kunxing pointed at Shen Ye.
"......" Xu Youwei looked at Shen Ye with a shocked face, let the princess of the dynasty come and see it in person, my God, the old man just said to let an old friend come to save you, now it seems that there is no need at all, even the princess has a relationship.
"Ahem, princess, why are you here. Shen Ye coughed and asked casually.
Princess Kunxing gestured behind her and said, "I'll ask someone to bring you something to eat." ”
"......" Xu Youwei looked at a loss, what kind of treatment is this, this is the same prison, why is the treatment gap so big.
In this way, in the next few days, Princess Kunxing came to visit Shen Ye from time to time, and often brought a bunch of delicious food, and Xu Youwei drooled when he saw it, but fortunately, Shen Ye often shared it with him.
......
After a few more days, Shen Ye felt that the turmoil outside should be almost over.
Yuan Chonghuan probably forgot that he had almost forgotten himself.
Shen Ye was planning to go out in a few days.
On this day, a foreigner came to this prison cell.
This foreigner, named Charlie, was imprisoned for three months because he was drunk and caused a carriage to hit and injure people.
This foreigner named Charlie, from Western Britain, as soon as he came in, he saw that there were two Ming people in the room, and immediately said to the jailer in broken Chinese: "Why are there two people in here?"
"This is the best room in the prison, if you are not satisfied, I can put you in the murderer's room?" said the jailer with a sneer.
"You, hum!" Charlie snorted coldly, but he didn't dare to say anything more, and when the jailer left, he muttered, "The Ming people, sure enough, are all uncivilized barbarians, and they don't talk about politeness at all!"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Youwei, who was reading a book, suddenly felt uncomfortable, as a traditional Ming person, he immediately put down the book, looked at Charlie coldly, and said, "Who are you talking about barbarians?"
"What? Are you not convinced? Is what I said wrong?" Charlie also said in a competitive voice, "You Ming people, closed off from the country, and your scientific level is extremely low, and you can't keep up with the pace of my Great Britain at all! You are not barbarians, who are barbarians?"
"Don't talk nonsense! My Great Ming Kingdom has been inherited from 5,000 years ago, and has invented countless things, such as compass needles and sundials, and it has everything, and it is very scientific!"
Xu Youwei stiffened his neck and said arguably, "It's you Britain, after we entered the feudal era, you are still in the Middle Ages, right?"
Charlie said disdainfully: "That was before, let's say now! We have steam engines, steamships, cannons and muskets, all kinds of power, don't you learn from us?"
"We invented firecrackers!" Xu Youwei argued.
Charlie sneered: "Firecrackers were invented by you, but you can only use them as firecrackers, and we, more innovative, used them to invent muskets and artillery, our scientific level is higher than yours, and our wisdom is a higher level for you!"
"You ......" Xu Youwei was so angry that his old face turned red, but the fact that people said was that it was also a chemical reaction, the Ming Dynasty invented firecrackers, but the British invented infinitely powerful muskets and artillery.
Seeing that Xu Youwei couldn't argue with him, Charlie immediately became proud, and said: "If you can't argue with me, none of you can argue with me! ”
