Zhao Hao went in through the partition and after paying homage, Emperor Longqing asked him to stand up.

"Well, he looks just like Zhao Shouzheng." Emperor Longqing looked at Zhao Hao and said to the eldest princess sitting beside him with a smile, "I have to keep an eye on my princess."

"Cough, cough, cough..." The eldest princess coughed continuously because she was squeezed.

Zhao Hao was so angry that he thought to himself, Your Majesty, your eldest daughter, Princess Shouyang, is only three years old. I do not have that blessing.

However, Emperor Longqing's words, which were not like those of a monarch, immediately made Zhao Hao feel favorable towards him.

His Majesty the Emperor does not mind his widowed sister developing a secret relationship. This gentle heart is enough to win people's hearts.

Well, there is still a tradition of good people in the Zhu family’s bloodline...except for the second ancestor and Shizong.

He glanced at Emperor Longqing and saw that he had a fair complexion and regular features. Although his eyes were not big, his gentle gaze did not show any aggression. He looked like someone who was very easy to talk to.

How should I put it? It's like the kind of boy in my class who was good-looking but always bullied when I was in school. What he looks like when he grows up.

Of course, the little bee’s dough was mainly made possible thanks to the good kneading of his father Jiajing.

After teasing Zhao Hao a little, Longqing smiled and said with great interest: "I first knew you from the book "First Encounter" presented by the eldest princess. At that time, I was curious about how you could write a poem like "I stand alone by the railing facing the morning breeze, the spring water fills the stream east of the small bridge. Only then did I realize that I was in the Dream of the Red Mansion last night, and I was among thousands of peach trees."

"It's because my family suffered a great change and fell into misfortune overnight, so I felt something." Zhao Hao was too busy trying to flatter himself, and he didn't care to clear himself. "I am terrified that I have offended your Majesty's holy eyes."

"What about 'Die Lian Hua'?" Long Qing asked again, "It's the one with 'Experience the pain of separation from the end of the world'."

Zhao Hao thought to himself, why does it feel like I’m encountering a snow wave?

But he could ignore Xuelang's problem, but he couldn't be perfunctory about the emperor's side.

Zhao Hao had no choice but to speak nonsense in a serious tone: "I listened to my father's love story and wrote it down in his tone."

"Oh, so that's it." Long Qing suddenly realized, looked at the eldest princess beside him and said, "I didn't expect that my number one scholar is such a passionate man."

The princess covered her hot face and nodded vigorously. She was secretly delighted and thought, "So this poem is about Zhao Lang and me."

Zhao Lang, Zhao Lang, how can Ning An not love you a thousand times?

"What about the other song 'Die Lian Hua'..." Long Qing was like an enthusiastic fan, and he insisted on asking, "It's the song 'Twelve Floors, Previous Life, Green Grass'. What story did you hear about your father?"

"Uh..." Zhao Hao was speechless and embarrassed, thinking, is this a good question to ask?

The question is about brothel stories.

"Ahem." The princess couldn't bear to listen any longer and interrupted Longqing with a cough: "Brother, we can talk about poetry at any time, but now is not the right time, is it? The child's father is still being punished in the Censorate."

"Let's discuss this topic another day." Long Qing changed his sitting position and said:

"I have heard from the princess about your father's affairs. There must be some misunderstanding here. You haven't even started the work yet, how can you put the blame on him? I will talk to General Wang later and ask him to release the man today."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Zhao Hao hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

"Don't be so quick to thank me. I'm afraid I can't help you with another matter." Emperor Longqing said apologetically:

"Tian Shou Mountain, where the imperial mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty is located, is also part of the Xishan Mountain, and has long been said to be a dragon vein. Since the capital was moved to Beijing, there have been discussions about closing the mountain and banning coal mining. In recent years, there have been frequent earthquakes in Beijing, and such rumors have become even more prevalent. This earthquake was closely followed by the conjunction of Venus and the moon, which is even more troublesome. Not only will your Xishan Coal Industry not be able to start production, but the original coal mines will also have to be closed for a while."

"Your Majesty, please think twice. Coal is related to the livelihood of the people in the capital. What will the people burn if the coal mines are closed?" Zhao Hao asked the same question as the princess. The capitalists' tone is indeed the same.

"Alas, every time the ban was lifted, the people had to wait until they had nothing to burn and some people froze to death." Longqing had lived in Beijing for half his life and was well aware of the situation. "But they would not issue a decree to lift the ban, but wait until Fuchengmen stopped banning coal trucks. Then the people would know that the court had acquiesced and would continue to dig coal."

"Isn't this just a waste of time!" Zhao Hao was filled with indignation, of course, it was mainly because of his own Xishan Coal Industry.

"Officials have two mouths, and they are always right." Long Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Anyway, I can't win the argument with them, can you win the argument with them?"

"Yes!" Zhao Hao said decisively: "Science is dedicated to dispelling superstition!"

"Science..." Long Qing thought of the questions that Teng Xiang had repeated that day, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Do you really know why the sun shines and emits heat?"

"This sounds simple, but if Your Majesty wants to understand it, you need to study Atomic Physics first..." Zhao Hao said seriously.

You wouldn't understand what I mean even if I tell you.

"Why don't you tell me about it?" Long Qing said sternly.

"The sun is a huge sphere with unimaginable temperature and pressure, which causes the vast amount of hydrogen atoms inside it to undergo thermonuclear fusion, generating infinite light and heat..."

"Uh..." Emperor Longqing smacked his lips and said with a wry smile, "Next question, why do the sun, moon, and stars keep moving?"

"Because of the existence of universal gravitation." Zhao Hao said slowly: "The so-called universal gravitation is the force that attracts all things in the universe. The greater the weight, the greater the gravitational force, and the closer the distance, the smaller the gravitational force, and the same is true for the sun, moon, and stars."

"Because of this mutual attraction, either the big planet will swallow the small planet, or the combined force of the two will form a centripetal force, so that the small planet will continue to revolve around the big planet."

"After billions of years of continuous collisions and mergers, the entire universe has finally formed the harmonious situation in which the sun, moon, and stars are moving in an orderly manner."

"Uh..." Emperor Longqing took a sip from the teacup, laughed dryly and said, "Very good, gravity, I will remember it."

The eldest princess nodded in agreement, thinking that the attraction between Zhao Lang and me must be particularly strong.

Emperor Longqing was about to continue asking questions when he heard Zhao Hao say quietly, "The conjunction of Venus and the Moon is also a very common astronomical phenomenon under the influence of gravity."

"Oh?" Long Qing's expression suddenly became serious and his breathing became heavy.

"Tell me more about this."

This is a thorn in my heart...

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my rudeness." Zhao Hao said respectfully, "I would like to borrow a few things on the table to demonstrate to Your Majesty."

"You can use it as you wish." Emperor Longqing naturally agreed.

Zhao Hao stepped forward and placed the cups, plates and lids of Emperor Longqing and the eldest princess on the table, representing the sun, Venus, the moon and the earth respectively.

"Because Venus revolves around the sun and the moon revolves around the earth, the orbits of the two are fixed and repeat over and over again. When Venus and the moon come together, the so-called Venus-Moon conjunction occurs."

Then Zhao Hao said in a deep voice: "This is a very common astronomical phenomenon. From ancient times to the future, it happens almost every month. How can it be a warning from heaven?"
