Chapter 240 Gambling



It’s still Wenhua Hall.

After hearing what Zhao Hao said, the emperor and his ministers nodded secretly.

This is actually a view that is easy to accept because before the Huaxian earthquake, Beijing had never experienced an earthquake.

It was indeed after that incident that the vibration mode started every other day.

So after listening to Zhao Hao's explanation, everyone felt convinced.

After all, this is a truth that even Mr. Zhao understands.

But the same thing goes, if someone insists on refusing to admit it, what can we do?

"That's just your guess!" Since the young minister's gun barrel was already red, an official jumped out to fight back for him: "But we think it's a ground dragon turning over, what can you do?"

"It's very simple. Since I can use the same algorithm to predict the earthquake in Beijing on March 28, I can also calculate the next aftershocks." Zhao Hao clenched his fists and said, "The same is true in reverse. If I can accurately predict the next aftershock, it will prove that my judgment on the earthquake in Beijing was correct!"

"What, you have already predicted it?" Everyone was surprised.

"Mr. Zhang can testify." Zhao Hao said with a smile.

"Yes, he asked my son to tell Bu Gu." Zhang Juzheng nodded and said, "That was the afternoon of March 28th, and the earthquake happened that night."

"Scary..." Mr. Zhang's credibility is extremely high, and people can't help but believe it.

"So where and when will the next game be?" Yang Bo asked with interest.

"The specific algorithm is too complicated, so I will skip it and just tell you the conclusion." Then Zhao Hao said confidently, "Around the fifth to eighth day of this month, the epicenter was located in Xi'an and Fengxiang, Shaanxi!"

For the sake of Xishan Coal Industry, for the employment of more than 100,000 refugees, for the comfort of the people in Beijing, and for boosting the economy of the Ming Dynasty, Master Zhao launched the great prophecy without blushing or beating his heart, as if he could really calculate it.

In fact, even hundreds of years later, no one can accurately predict it.

Besides, this earthquake has caused countless casualties among people and animals, so I am just doing good deeds...

Well, it's a good deed.

~~

"That won't be long." Emperor Longqing naturally believed in Zhao Hao and said worriedly, "Whether it's true or not, we need to notify Shaanxi as soon as possible."

As he said this, he looked at Yang Bo and said, "Master Yang, in the name of the Ministry of War, inform the governor of Shaanxi urgently eight hundred miles away and order him to prepare in advance."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will send a messenger tonight." Yang Bo responded in a deep voice.

Xu Jie felt uncomfortable after hearing this. If he remembered correctly, this was the first time since the emperor ascended the throne that he bypassed the cabinet and issued an order to the six ministries.

Although we have to take emergency measures, this is a really bad sign.

"Little Xu Qing's family." At this time, Emperor Longqing looked at Xu Fan again and said jokingly, "Zhao Daizhao has already set such high conditions. Do you want to fight?"

"Your Majesty..." Xu Fan was no longer able to do anything in this situation.

Even the emperor has spoken. If he backs down again, how can he confront others in the future?

"I agree..." The young minister had no choice but to lower his head and say in a low voice.

"Well, let's stop here for today." Emperor Longqing stretched lazily with satisfaction, feeling refreshed as never before. He said, "Everyone take a rest, and I will give you a banquet later."

According to custom, the emperor was required to provide meals after the imperial lecture.

But since he came in at 3 p.m., the minister had been standing for two full hours. Not to mention whether his legs could take it, his penis was about to burst.

After expressing their gratitude, the ministers hurried out to the toilet in the southeast corner and lined up to release the water.

The toilet is not big, so of course we have to ask the ministers and officials to come first.

The other officials were waiting outside.

Seeing Zhao Hao also coming to queue up, they couldn't help but ask questions one after another.

"Zhao Daizhao, we know why the moon waxes and wanes, but why do the stars blink?"

"Because the earth is wrapped in a thick atmosphere. When starlight passes through the atmosphere, it will be refracted many times... just like the pebbles at the bottom of a clear pool are always shaking, so the starlight becomes dim."

"Why does thunder always come after lightning?"

"Because the speed of sound is slower than the speed of light."

“Why do we see rainbows after rain?”

"This has already been demonstrated at Lingji Palace. You can spit and see for yourself later."

"Then why is there a Milky Way?"

"The Milky Way is formed by densely packed stars gathered together. Because they are too far away from us, the human eye cannot distinguish them clearly, so we mistake them for a river. Just like the Chinese Valentine's Day when thousands of river lanterns gather to form a bright light belt, the Milky Way is also formed in this way."

"What? The Milky Way is not a river, but stars?" The officials were quite shocked, but fortunately they were all numb tonight.

After a pause, Zhao Hao smiled and said, "This does not need to be proven. You can just use a specially made astronomical telescope to see it with your own eyes. However, this month, the Milky Way is at the horizon, so it will take another two months to observe it."

As he spoke, he pointed maliciously at the three astronomical telescopes quietly placed outside the Wenhua Hall and said with a smile: "Of course, you can still see the moon now. Well, if you hurry up, you can also see Mars..."

The officials immediately gathered around and, under the guidance of Zhao Hao's disciples, began to line up to watch the moon.

As a result, everyone who watched it couldn't eat a single bite that night.

That pockmarked moon is so unappetizing...

Disillusionment, give me back Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit...

And how come Mars is like the moon, round, and has a missing piece?

Could it be that the solar system model placed in the temple is really the true appearance of the universe?

Many followers of the School of Mind, such as Xu Ge Lao, chose not to read it.

Well, as long as you don't look at it, it's equivalent to not existing, and the world will remain the same as before...

Dream on!

~~

After the banquet, all the ministers took their leave and Emperor Longqing returned to the harem in the imperial sedan chair.

He looked up at the sky full of brilliant stars, and for the first time his gaze was not one of awe, but of pure admiration.

"The way of heaven is constant. What can heaven say?"

The emperor murmured these two sentences, and he finally felt the power that Zhao Hao wanted to convey to him.

"Old Teng, from tomorrow on, I will act more like an emperor." After a while, he smiled and said to Teng Xiang who was following him:

"Your Majesty has always been the emperor." Teng Xiang asked puzzledly.

"It's different, it's different..." Long Qing shook his head and smiled, "Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you."

"Yes, I don't understand." Teng Xiang was panicked and quickly took out his trump card and said, "Your Majesty, which lady will you choose to sleep with you tonight?"

"It's so late..." Emperor Longqing looked at the bright starry sky and felt his soul was cleansed.

"The batch of stuff from Myanmar has arrived..." Teng Xiang whispered in his ear.

"Oh?" Emperor Longqing's eyes widened, and he immediately forgot about the starry sky and said, "Then I have to choose carefully!"
