() "Huh?" Yunfeng's eyes were fixed on Zhuge Xian. There was an indistinct look on his face, and he made eye contact with Qiao Xiu from time to time, and immediately asked: "Master Zhuge Xian"

, do you have anything to say?”

"This" Zhuge Xian frowned, looking a little embarrassed. He unconsciously looked at Qiao Xiu again, but saw Qiao Xiu nodded slightly to him, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, after observation and calculation, I have found out in three days

Between 12:00 and 20:00 (9:00 to 10:00 a.m.), there will be a solar eclipse in Guanzhong!"

"How is this possible? How could there be an eclipse?"...

"Our Qin State is invincible in all battles. Your Majesty also practices benevolent government and is deeply loved by the people. The eclipse should appear in Jie Zhao or Jiangdong. Qin Tianjian is correct. Are you not wrong in your calculation?"

"Qin Tian Jianzheng, why don't you go through the deduction again? Ritual eclipse is of great importance, but there must be no mistakes!"

Suddenly, the expressions of the officials and the common people changed suddenly, noises spread, and an atmosphere of panic quickly spread across the court.

Ancient scholars believed that a solar eclipse was a sign of great misfortune. If a solar eclipse appeared in the sky, it would be a sign that the king was unruly and the political situation was chaotic. God would punish him for this, and the severity was far greater than major disasters such as earthquakes, floods, droughts, and mountain collapses. According to the folk

Think of eclipses as evil gods like Tengu who bring harm to the world and deliberately destroy the sun on which all things depend.

However, Yunfeng secretly applauded. The planetarium, which was opened to the public a few days ago, did not attract the attention of the people. It made him feel like he was punched in a pile of cotton. However, the solar eclipse has been even worse for decades.

A once-in-a-hundred-year astronomical wonder happens at this time. This is an excellent opportunity to popularize astronomical knowledge...

But Zhuge Xian's face was a bit ugly. For him, what he was most proud of was neither his martial arts skills that were rare among rivals, nor his identity as the leader of the Tianji Sect, nor the fact that Zhuge Fei gave birth to his eldest son for Yunfeng, but

He has studied astronomy for decades!

Although the emergence of astronomical telescopes completely overturned his long-standing view of the universe, Zhuge Xian was confident that if we just talk about the observation and deduction of celestial phenomena, except for the old enemy Qiao Xiu in the court, and outside the court except the imperial court.

Tianjian Zhengyuxi. No one in the world can have the insight of him. Not even Yunfeng, who invented the astronomical telescope and often expressed astonishing insights in astronomy, is not qualified.

How could Zhuge Xian endure such a person being questioned by a group of guys who didn't understand the astronomical phenomena?

Zhuge Xian's face darkened, and he said slightly angrily: "Without worrying, I am 100% sure that there will be a solar eclipse in the pass in three days. I will know the right and wrong by then!"

"What should we do? Eclipse is a punishment from heaven!"

"Qin Tian Jianzheng, what's the harm in recalculating again? Who can guarantee that there will be no mistakes?"

The ministers tried to persuade Zhuge Xian again. They did not believe that the eclipse was caused by Yunfeng's misconduct. So, the only conclusion was that Zhuge Xian had made a miscalculation.

Zhuge Xian's anger became more and more obvious. Yunfeng secretly shook his head, waved his hands and said: "Everyone, please be quiet. Although the eclipse is rare, it is a normal celestial phenomenon. What does it have to do with the heaven's guilt? "Historical Records,"

"Xia Benji" contains: In the fifth year of Zhongkang, there was a sun eclipse in the Xia Kingdom. The day was like a black day, and all the people were afraid of it! But if there was a sun eclipse,

Later, the Xia Dynasty did not lose its country, but instead passed down thirteen kings, up to Lu Gui (Jie), who were replaced by Shang Tang due to the barbarism and lack of morality, and Zhongkang himself was not a lawless king. The Taikang Rebellion in Xia Li

, the country's power was already in decline, but it was revived by his hands. There are many records in history books, so I won't list them all here.

Please think about it again, has the eclipse always happened, but has anyone died? Or has property been damaged? No? What should we do after the eclipse? The only difference from the night is that the time is very short.

From this we can judge that the eclipse has nothing to do with God’s punishment, so there is no need to panic.”

After saying this, there was a lot of discussion in the palace again. Some people began to quote scriptures to support Yunfeng's point of view. However, some others clung to the old almanac and refused to connect the eclipse with heaven's will. Gradually, the ministers formed two factions, and their voices became louder and louder.

As it gets bigger, it tends to develop into quarrels.

Yunfeng observed for a short moment, and he also knew that there are still many people who are conservative and old-fashioned. No matter how many examples are cited, it is impossible for these people to change their minds in a short time. However, this is a good idea.

This gave him an excellent opportunity to observe the ministers' ability to accept new ideas. If they are too stubborn to be frightened, then I'm sorry. Yunfeng has already had the idea of ​​gradually replacing them.

Secretly writing down the names of more than a dozen people, Yunfeng pressed his hands again and shouted loudly: "There is no need to argue whether the eclipse is a bad omen or not, but the eclipse is a rare celestial phenomenon. Wouldn't it be a pity to stay at home to avoid it?

?” After that, he asked Zhuge Xian: “Master Zhuge, how many pieces of clear and transparent glass do you still have in your door?”

Zhuge Xian replied: "Go back to your Majesty, there are still about 1,200 pieces left."

Yunfeng then asked: "Does Master Zhuge know the principle of eclipse?"

Zhuge Xian stroked his black beard and said proudly: "A solar eclipse is caused by changes in the distance between the sun, the earth, and the moon."

Yun Feng smiled with satisfaction and said: "That's good. Master Zhuge, I will give you and the disciples a task. Use charcoal fire to bake the glass pieces completely black and distribute them to the people. Organize the viewing of the sun eclipse, and explain the occurrence of the sun eclipse in a timely manner.

principle, so far

Heart of fear. If there are not enough glass pieces to distribute, you can ask the people to pour a suitable amount of ink into a basin of water and use the reflection of the sun to see the eclipse. But remember, never look at it directly with the naked eye, otherwise it will burn your eyes. Is there any problem? "

Zhuge Xian bowed his hand and said, "Please don't worry, Your Majesty. After the court is dismissed, I will start working on this matter."

"Thank you, Lord Zhuge!" Yun Feng nodded, and called to the ministers: "Is there anything else you need to report? If there is nothing else to do, I will disperse the court today. In addition, I will recruit people to watch in the future.

For customization, except for military secrets."

Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke, so Yunfeng was about to give the order to disperse the court, but he saw a bodyguard rushing towards him, saluting: "Your Majesty, there is a big one." This bodyguard was just big.

He kept going on and on, and couldn't get the next words out of his mouth, making everyone anxious for him, and his own face turned red from suppressing it.

Yunfeng couldn't help being surprised and asked: "I know you don't kowtow, do you have anything to say? If you have something to say, just say it. Could it be that I will still argue with you? Come in and talk."

"I would like to thank you, Your Majesty!" After the guard responded eloquently, he stepped into the palace and saluted again: "Your Majesty, several barbarians came outside the palace gate, claiming to be monks from the Qin Dynasty, entrusted by the emperor of his family.

, come and make peace with our country."
