Chapter 131 Winter Rainbow



Lingji Palace.

Next, it was the planned grand finale, with two old masters of Wang Xue, Mr. Xushan and Mr. Longxi, coming on stage to comment...

In fact, the original arrangement was to invite the three of them to go on stage together. But the two old gentlemen thought Zhao Hao was too young and rejected him, so they let young Master Zhao go up first.

The original idea of ​​the two old gentlemen was to encourage each school first, and then point out their shortcomings.

Let me brag about it some more... Oh no, let me talk about how lucky and happy I was when I studied under Master Yangming.

Finally, I would like to emphasize that we still do not have a deep understanding of Yangming Gong's scholarship. We need to further appreciate his words and deeds, and we will surely gain insights from them.

For this purpose, they specially brought 5,000 copies of Qian Dehong's "Chuan Xi Lu", 5,000 copies of "Xu Shan Hui Yu" which recorded what they saw, heard and understood by the teacher, and 5,000 copies of "Long Xi Complete Works" for everyone to enjoy.

If you buy all three, you can get 12% off...

However, what with the commotion caused by He Xinyin and Zhao Hao... especially Zhao Hao, who actually dared to openly say that Mr. Yangming knew nothing about the world... This made them even more uncomfortable than digging up the two old gentlemen's ancestral graves!

That would destroy their jobs!

So the two of them didn't care about selling books anymore. After they got on stage, they first criticized He Xinyin harshly, and then turned their attention to Zhao Hao, ready to criticize this guy to pieces! Trampling science underfoot, making it impossible for it to stand up again...

However, when the two were really preparing to fire, they were surprised to find that they were tongue-tied and unable to utter a word.

The two knowledgeable and eloquent old gentlemen had a complete blank in their minds and didn't know where to start... just like you when you were taking an advanced mathematics exam.

Because Zhao Hao said before that science and psychology are not from the same country, they only focus on concrete and realistic things, not on the inner spiritual level. But psychology is all about the spiritual level, so using their theories to comment on science is like talking about chickens and ducks.

The two old men held their breath for a long time before they finally managed to reorganize their words and started talking one after another:

"Everything in the world starts from the heart. If you don't study your inner self, how can you study the outside world?"

"Yes, you are deliberately taking advantage of the situation. Young man, you are too eager for quick success."

"What the two fathers-in-law have taught me is that I need to study psychology well." Zhao Hao said obediently.

Seeing that his attitude was quite honest, the two of them took out three books including "Chuan Xi Lu" and said with a straight face: "Take it back and have a good look. Our teacher is a scholar of heaven and earth. How can a junior like you make irresponsible comments?"

"Okay, kid, I must study hard." Zhao Hao still had a happy smile on his face, and that smile exuded the smell of money: "I want to buy 10,000 copies each, and in the future, every disciple of mine will have a set."

"Well, I can only give you 5,000 copies..."

This made the two old men feel much calmer. They thought that the young man would not stop until his words shocked the world, so they decided not to bother with him.

Little did they know that Zhao Hao was so happy because his idol stood up for him...

Anyway, I have achieved my goal today. I have let the world know that there is such a thing as science and I have not been condemned for it. This is more than enough.

Moreover, Zhao Hao is not a science-only person. It's just that the Ming Dynasty needs science the most at the moment. There is no need to get angry when someone speaks ill of him.

~~

Once the two elders have bought their books, today’s lecture will be over.

After Lord Xu and the ministers left, the audience, who had already been frozen to death, also stood up and walked out.

As expected, Zhao Hao was surrounded by a large group of people, who all asked him questions.

"Excuse me, Young Master Zhao, how does your science explain the endless movement of the sun, moon and stars?"

"Young Master Zhao, why do we see rainbows after the rain?"

"How do you scientists see the waxing and waning of the moon?"

"It's not my science, it's everyone's science." Zhao Hao walked out with difficulty under the protection of Gao Wu and Yu Shensi, and turned back to smile at everyone:

"There are clear scientific reasons behind these phenomena, and they cannot be explained by words alone, but must be explained by scientific experiments. So if you are interested, you can go to Chunsong Hutong later and I will demonstrate it to you on the spot..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard bursts of exclamations coming from outside the Lingji Palace gate in front.

When everyone looked in the direction of the sound, they saw a beautiful rainbow hanging above the archway of Lingji Palace, colorful and like a dream.

"Don't rainbows only appear in summer? It's the first month of the lunar calendar now."

"Yeah, but it's so beautiful..."

"That was man-made." Zhao Hao said lightly, already knowing what was going on.

But at this moment, everyone was so busy watching the excitement that they didn't care about him. They all swarmed towards the archway.

There were already crowds of people at the archway. Everyone saw three young men facing the dazzling sunset, operating a fire-fighting hose truck and spraying water into the air.

The water column sprayed more than two meters high and was blown away by the cold wind into water mist all over the sky. A colorful rainbow was born in the water mist, shining everyone's eyes.

Next to the water dragon cart, there were two other young men holding a banner that read "Scientific Demonstration of the Cause of Rainbows", showing the School of Mind followers who were leaving Lingji Palace that this was a product of science.

Those Xinxue disciples still remembered Zhao Hao's lecture vividly, and this reminded them of his words, "You don't know that you will see a rainbow after the rain..."

Apparently, scientists have proven that they know what causes rainbows.

It seems that this science really has some tricks...

So many people took the "A Brief Introduction to Nature" and "An Introduction to Geometry" that they distributed and prepared to take them back to study.

~~

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Li Mingyue, who had already got into the car and drove away, heard the noise, lifted the car curtain, looked at the rainbow, and shouted excitedly.

In the carriage, Zhang Xiaojing was afraid of being discovered by her father, so she only glanced at the rainbow and then looked away. Then she opened the two booklets she had just received and carefully studied this subject that could interest her father.

~~

On the Xihuamen Tower, Emperor Longqing stood up straight and could see the beautiful rainbow without a telescope.

"It seems that the guy was not bragging." In his hand, he already had the lecture records of Zhao Hao sent by Feng Bao.

At the same time Zhao Hao stepped down, people from the East Factory rushed out of Lingji Palace and rode over at full speed.

"It is indeed quite interesting." Before presenting it to the emperor, Feng Bao had naturally quickly browsed through the contents above. Otherwise, how could he play the supporting role?

"I didn't expect that kid would dare to establish a school of thought at such a young age. However, this kind of science seeks external principles without cultivating one's own mind. I'm afraid it has fallen into the side path."

"It's better not to cultivate my mind. Listening to them talk about the mind all day long gives me a headache." Seeing the mist dissipate and the rainbow disappear, Emperor Longqing reluctantly withdrew his gaze and slowly walked down the stairs with the help of Teng Xiang and Feng Bao.

He suddenly had an idea and said, "Why not let him give a lecture at the imperial lecture in the spring?"

"Ugh..." Feng Bao almost fell down the stairs, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Your Majesty, that is a place for the country to lecture on scriptures and history. Letting a kid like this sneak in and talk about wild fox Zen will make him a laughing stock."

"Lord Xu will definitely not agree." Teng Xiang also said sinisterly from the side.

"Forget it, I was just saying it casually." Upon hearing Xu Jie's name, Emperor Longqing showed a gloomy expression. The scene of five thousand people leaning towards the Prime Minister at the same time made the young emperor feel a little breathless.
