121 121 Assassination
◎ Help! There are always villains who want to harm me! ◎
This permanent official is also a wonderful person, the one who can't calculate the exact time of the solar eclipse, but has to bite the bullet and pretend to have calculated it accurately.
There is no way, they don't want to do this, who asked Master Kang to always want them to come out and show off the high-end and classy Western calendar?
The key is that they also want to, but unfortunately this thing doesn't know why it can't calculate accurately, they are also desperate...
In fact, let's not talk about them, even the missionaries who brought the Western calendar here are the same.
No one knew the flaws of the Western calendar better than them, but they also dared not tell the truth - because they had seen that Master Kang, the Qing Emperor, had blind trust and worship in the Western calendar.
If they exposed this "Western mirror" at this time, not only would their missionary work not be able to proceed, but they might even be expelled from the country for hurting the Qing Emperor's face...
This is of course a more extreme speculation, but it is not impossible.
In short, for the sake of safety, they should just do things according to the Emperor's ideas.
Master Kang above and the missionaries below all have this attitude, and it is indeed difficult for Qintianjian to be caught in the middle.
The Qintian Supervisors of all generations are the same. It doesn't matter if they have other knowledge and skills, they must be good at keeping balance and smoothing things over.
Of course, they also need a life-saving skill, such as sliding down to their knees when things go wrong.
Chang'e has the same skills as his predecessors.
This time is the case.
He was originally worried and felt that the result of this calculation might be problematic, but seeing that Master Kang was so happy, he didn't want to say such a spoiler.
Therefore, he could only pray in his heart, hoping that his luck would be off the charts this time and the error would be smaller.
Of course, if he really got lucky and there was no error at all, it would be even better.
Although he knew that this was wishful thinking, he still had fantasies until the last moment.
He felt uneasy when he saw the young master of the Lin family also arrived at the scene.
As the saying goes, "Even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs run." He had heard many legends about the young master of the Lin family.
It was said that the young master of the Lin family had a bad body since he was a child. He started taking medicine when he was born. Now, at the age of only five or six, he has taken as much medicine as an ordinary person would take in two lifetimes.
It was also said that the young master of the Lin family almost died of illness two years ago, but fortunately he met a miracle doctor who saved his life.
I don’t know if it was a blessing in disguise, but the young master of the Lin family has since gained the ability to “know the past and future.” What’s even more amazing is that everyone can hear these things without him saying anything…
If Mo Yu knew what people were saying about him, he would definitely be speechless.
This is simply an artificial deification movement, but if you say they are talking nonsense, it doesn’t seem objective enough.
After all, many of the details match up.
In short, he is a “little god,” and this character setting is already stable.
So much so that Chang Que feels nervous and embarrassed that he will be exposed as soon as he sees him.
I didn't expect that the young master of the Lin family, who is so capable, looks no different from an ordinary child - oh, to be more precise, except that he looks quieter and more well-behaved than ordinary children, there is nothing unusual.
Maybe the "little fairy" is busy with all kinds of things and doesn't bother to care about the trivial matters in their small place.
The more Chang'e thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was reliable - their matter was really too small, and maybe it was not that important.
But just when he had just relaxed a little, he heard the legendary "immortal sound".
"Listening" to the series of "oracles" of the young master of the Lin family, Chang'e broke out in a cold sweat.
He hesitated for only a moment, and then decided to "confess" and knelt down to plead guilty to Master Kang.
As a veteran official, especially in a very mysterious government office like the Qintianjian, sliding down quickly is a necessary skill. Chang'e has mastered this skill to perfection and is very proficient in using it.
Seeing Chang'e sliding down so quickly, Master Kang was furious.
He had confidence in this Western calendar.
After all, this thing was introduced during the time of his father, Emperor Shunzhi, and he had studied it specially when he was a young prince. Imagine that ancient people who had never been exposed to Western knowledge would be very interested in this novel thing and would definitely study it well.
This was Master Kang's case.
When he was still a young third prince, he was completely hungry for this new knowledge.
After studying for several years, he had become a very powerful "doctor" of Western learning.
The key is that after he ascended the throne, he still insisted on the habit of reading every day.
Whether he lived in the Forbidden City or was on patrol outside, he got up early every morning and read for at least half an hour. Sometimes, when he was in the mood, he would even read for an hour. Just
for this reason, he was not comparable to ordinary people. It is also because of this that his reading volume is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
It is estimated that he can only compete with his grandson, the fourth son.
The main thing is to live long enough and love reading...
The fourth master also loves reading, and even read himself into myopia, but he didn't read as much as Master Kang, because he lived more than ten years less than him.
In short, because of this lifelong reading and learning, Master Kang is familiar with a lot of Western knowledge.
So he is not unfamiliar with this Western calendar.
Therefore, when Mo Yu just complained that the prediction of this solar eclipse might not be accurate, he was very disdainful.
But soon, Qin Tianjian came out to apologize, which really rubbed his face on the ground.
Originally, even if it was inaccurate, they could just let it go quietly, and they could ask for leave later, and he would forgive them.
After all, it was possible that they might have made a mistake in the calculation, and he would not be so angry with Qin Tianjian and exterminate their entire clan just because he miscalculated the time of a solar eclipse...
But Chang'e, this old guy, was so impatient that he just jumped out and admitted it. The nature of this matter was completely different.
Master Kang was very angry and was thinking about how to explode, but unexpectedly someone reported that the solar eclipse had already started in other places, so he gave up.
He just ordered Chang'e to get out first and deal with him later, and then went up to the observatory to start observing.
Mo Yu also followed Master Kang to the observatory.
I have to say that this platform is quite reliable.
Anyway, the equipment is sufficient, and Mo Yu is too lazy to care about the not-so-pleasant interaction between Qin Tianjian and Master Kang. He just follows the large group of people to take their positions and start preparing to observe the solar eclipse.
And as those people reported, the solar eclipse is gradually coming to the capital.
But a moment later, it arrived in the capital.
Mo Yu looked out through the improved telescope, and couldn't help but sigh that this telescope is really easy to use - it is just a lens coated with ink and placed outside the regular lens, just made into a "glasses" look.
This way, you don't have to worry about looking directly at the sun and hurting your eyes.
Could it be that this is also mentioned in the "Lu Ban Book"?
That's really quite amazing.
While Mo Yu was marveling at the great improvement in the craftsmanship, he began to watch the solar eclipse.
He saw that the sun was first missing a corner, and then gradually expanded to the whole thing. In the end, it completely covered everything, completing the entire eclipse.
At this time, all the civil and military officials below knelt on the ground and shouted long live the emperor three times. It was truly an unprecedented grand occasion.
Mo Yu couldn't help but complain a few words again, but he didn't care too much. Anyway, his attention was now on the sun in the sky, and he didn't have the energy to care about these things.
He just complained a few words casually and that was it, but Master Kang felt uncomfortable again.
Especially when he saw that Mo Yu seemed to be completely oblivious, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he thought to himself that he would definitely abolish this ceremony next time - no one would be too happy to be laughed at like a fool. This
was especially true for Master Kang.
This was not only because Master Kang was the king of a country and had his own face to maintain.
It was also because he himself was a very strong-willed person and could not tolerate any mistakes in his glorious image - even if he was not wise and great enough, he would not tolerate such a thing that was obviously lowering his intelligence?
Since it was useless, it would be abolished.
Didn’t the kid from the Lin family say that I am the master of this world, I can do whatever I want, and the ancestral rules are bullshit...
Master Kang, who was brainwashed by Mo Yu unknowingly, said that in the future, this useless "solar and lunar eclipse rescue" thing would be fine.
I originally wanted to get angry and abolish both the Qintianjian and the Observatory.
Look at the number of supervisors in the Qintianjian, they are thieves and look like bad guys.
It must be because he didn't calculate strictly according to the calendar, which made me lose face in front of Lin Moyu.
Unhappy.
It seems that Lin Moyu said before that the observatory seems to have some use.
It seems to be for surveying agricultural time?
Anyway, it is related to people's livelihood, so let's keep it for now.
Master Kang had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but it didn't delay his observation of the solar eclipse.
He was actually very interested in such scientific experiments. And he was quite good at it.
When others were still doing rituals and playing with feudal superstitions, Master Kang had quietly completed a scientific monitoring and wrote a scientific observation log.
Just for this point, he was amazing.
And the results of the observation were indeed as Mo Yu said before, very different from the prediction given in advance by Qin Tianjian.
If I have to say, it's about an hour off.
When the entire solar eclipse process was over, the originally predicted time had not yet started.
Chang'e became more and more panicked, and crawled over to ask for another round of punishment.
While Mo Yu was eating melons, he also learned about the differences between the Western calendar and the ancient zodiacal calendar in his mind.
It was not that he did it on purpose, but mainly because System 006 was too serious and responsible.
He just asked casually, but System 006 started to give him a long speech, all about the differences between the Eastern and Western calendars.
Mo Yu just took a look and transferred this knowledge through his own medium.
Chang'e and others were like finding a treasure, and they immediately held their breath and recorded it - of course it was impossible to record it with pen and paper, so they could only record it in their minds as much as possible, and then use the opportunity of observation to "transform" it into their own knowledge and then record it on paper.
Anyway, by some strange coincidence, Mo Yu accidentally reformed Master Kang's Qintianjian. At least in the future, we don't have to guess about the calendar every day like before.
It's a good thing.
After solving the problem of Qintianjian's solar eclipse observation, it was time to go back to the original schedule, hunting in Nanyuan.
Mo Yu has always been a young and weak person.
His physical foundation is indeed not very good. He looks like he will be blown away by a gust of wind at any time, which makes people very worried.
So he usually doesn't participate in this kind of hunting activities.
But this time, I don't know if it was because his face was rubbed on the ground too much or what, anyway, Mo Yu was named by Master Kang to go to Nanyuan to accompany hunting.
This is...
Mo Yu was at a loss, and the Thirteenth Prince had to take the initiative to come forward and talk to him.
So it's not without reason that everyone likes the Thirteenth Prince.
He is really... too warm.
Very healing. If possible, it's better to save him.
Mo Yu stared at the young face of the Thirteenth Prince and thought he was really handsome. It would be a waste of
talent if he was locked up in a beehive by Master Kang. It was a pity that he was a little older and was too favored by Master Kang, otherwise he would not be so hated.
It would be good if he was like the Sixteenth Prince.
He was very lucky because he was young and did not get involved in the "Nine Sons Fighting for the Succession".
I hope the Thirteenth Prince can get through it safely.
No...
Why hasn't there been any news about the "Nine Sons Fighting for the Succession" recently?
Could it be that this matter is going to have a result?
Mo Yu was a little dazed, so he did not notice that a hunting team had appeared around the corner where he thought he was safe.
Originally, Master Kang just felt that Mo Yu had not participated in every hunting activity before, so this time he wanted to make him feel more involved.
Unexpectedly, after forcing him to the hunting ground, the result was the same. Mo Yu still had no intention of participating, and just squatted in the corner to watch.
Master Kang finally gave up the idea of letting him practice martial arts, thinking that the child was not in good health, and had no intention of practicing archery...
Let alone archery, it would be good enough if he could hold on to the horse without falling off.
What's the point of a bicycle...
So he took the other sons away, leaving only a few young ones to accompany Mo Yu.
Unexpectedly, all of Master Kang's sons were very strong. Even the younger ones liked riding and shooting. Once they got on the horse, they disappeared in a flash.
In the end, only the Thirteenth Prince greeted him and asked if he wanted to ride a horse with Mo Yu for a walk, but Mo Yu declined. What a joke, the Thirteenth Prince was famous for his riding and shooting skills. It would be a waste to accompany him here.
It's better to do what you should do.
The Thirteenth Prince smiled and said goodbye to him and left, but he also ordered his attendants to keep an eye on Lord Lin. Mo Yu breathed a sigh of relief and rested on the spot.
In fact, if you don't ride a horse around, this place is really good.
The grass nearby is lush and green, the forest is dense not far away, and the air is much fresher.
Even if you don't hunt, it's nice to just stay here for a while.
Seeing that the people around him have already started hunting enthusiastically, Mo Yu is ready to fish here and wait for everyone to come back.
Just at this moment, something unexpected happened. An arrow broke through the air and shot directly at Mo Yu.
Mo Yu was caught off guard and had no time to dodge.
Just as he was about to be shot on the spot, a man came out of nowhere and threw him off the horse to the ground.
