Chongzhen chat group

Chapter 1159
Next, Emperor Chongzhen didn't go anywhere in this manor. Apart from watching Xu Zhengming inspect and demonstrate the hot air balloon, he was instructing Song Yingxing how to carry out his scientific and technological clean-up department.During this process, Sun Chuanting became an audience, accompanying him from beginning to end, more just listening.

But outside the manor, there was much commotion.

If it is said that those people in the lobby of the restaurant started to spread the word, it was only among the common people at the lower level. Even if Panda Ball was also pushing hard to fuel the flames, at most only some scholars were concerned.Most of them thought it was just absurd talk.Or some people later heard and confirmed it from other channels, such as Hou's family and Fang Yizhi, and it took a long time, and the influence was not too great after all.

This Yingtianfu is not the Paris of the West, it is a megacity with a population of one million.Relying on these channels of dissemination, even if one spreads to ten, ten spreads to hundreds, there is a limit to the number of people who can believe and watch after three days, at most it is several times the number of viewers in another plane, Paris.

But later, Yingtianfu, the eunuch guarding Nanjing, suddenly invited the six ministers and officials of Yingtianfu to attend the Qilin Gate flying demonstration two days later, which made a big commotion.All of a sudden, the streets and alleys in Yingtianfu were all about Feitian.

"Have you heard, outside the Qilin Gate, I heard that a craftsman is going to fly into the sky!"

"The craftsman flies into the sky? What kind of sky do you fly? Gods, monsters?"

"I have heard about it. It is said that a young man made a bet with others, saying that scientific and technological knowledge is very useful and can make people fly into the sky."

"Ghosts believe that they are still flying into the sky! That's really the case. Isn't this scientific and technological knowledge just a fairy method passed down from the sky?"

"Let's not talk about it, think about it, who wrote this scientific and technological knowledge? Is it right now? Who is today? The real dragon descended to earth, isn't it a fairy law brought down from the sky!"

"Speaking of which, is it really possible to fly into the sky? If that's the case, I have to go and see it that day no matter what!"

"..."

Of course, these are the opinions among the market, and it is another gossip among the scholars.

"Have you heard that Hou Fangyu, one of the four sons of Fushe, is ashamed to face others and has already returned to his hometown. They are making a letter to the court, and it is over."

"Of course I know. It is said that his uncle's face was swollen to the size of a pig's head. Let's see how he still pretends to be extravagant in the future!"

"That little chicken belly deserves it! But then again, he was a little wronged at the beginning!"

"Why are you wronged?"

"Don't you know? At that time, he met a rich craftsman and quarreled over scientific and technological knowledge and the way of Confucius and Mencius. Even the craftsman said the absurd thing that people can fly into the sky. As a result, he was very cheap. Not only scolding people, but also trying to catch them in prison, and they will be taught a lesson!"

"Don't tell me, Xiaosheng has also heard it. The matter of Feitian seems to be true. It will be performed in public in two days!"

"That's right, the news has spread over the Imperial College. It is said that Mr. Jijiu asked all the supervisors to read those science and technology books carefully, and also asked them to watch Feitian."

"Really, is this science and technology so powerful? Then you have to see it!"

Relatively speaking, it is easy to talk about the upper class in Yingtian Mansion.

"There is a message from the guarding eunuch that everyone is going to watch the flying demonstration. Madam, please tell me that the men in the mansion must go, and the women will depend on Madam to arrange it!"

"Master, can this person really fly into the sky?"

"There should be no fakes. It is said that the emperor's apprentice made the flying artifact! Therefore, the adults are very dedicated! Otherwise, the guarding eunuch would not say that all the officials, big and small, will go."

"..."

Just like that, the rich families in Yingtian Mansion were the first to get accurate information, and then the gossip, especially the fact that the emperor had accepted an apprentice, and that the flying artifact was made under the emperor's guidance, immediately spread as quickly as possible. coming.

Compared with the previous news and rumors, this news came from various wealthy families, so it naturally has a certain degree of reliability, so the speed of its spread has reached the fastest.

And the day before the appointed time, outside the Qilin Gate, officials of all sizes had already sent people to occupy the space.This, in turn, immediately fueled the spread of the word.Later, millions of people in the entire Nanjing city, from princes and ministers to common people and beggars, all knew about this matter.

The matter of Feitian has also become a topic that everyone must discuss when they meet.If in the past, when acquaintances met, the first sentence might be "Brother XX, long time no see." Or "Brother XX, have you eaten yet?"

But now, when the people of Yingtianfu meet acquaintances, the first thing they say is: "Brother XX, you know about Feitian, what do you think, how credible is it?"

Basically, most people think Feitian is absurd and impossible!They are going, mostly to watch the excitement, to see how this thing will be demonstrated and how it will end!
There are still a small half of people who believe it, but among them, the vast majority of people believe that this flying technique was passed down by the real dragon emperor from heaven and earth, so flying into the sky is possible.Among the millions of people, only a very few people who have studied the science and technology series deeply believe that people can go to heaven with the help of tools.However, they are also very curious about how people use tools to go to heaven.

No matter what the people in Yingtian Mansion think, they all have one thing in common, that is, they must go to Feitian's scene to watch the excitement.

Some people anticipated the grand occasion of this day and went to occupy a seat in advance.What's more, the Jianghu forces in Yingtian Mansion saw the business opportunity and mobilized their Jianghu people to occupy a good position in advance, and then sold it to rich people, making a lot of money.

It is so easy to make money, and they also admire the ax gang who came up with this idea.The leader of the Ax Gang is Wu Ergou. After earning a lot of money from Huang Taiji, it was a pity that he never had such an opportunity. Later, he received the secret order of Jin Yiwei Commander Liu Xingzuo to respond to Tianfu's development.

When he was in the capital, he had seen many big scenes, so he naturally knew how to make a lot of money easily under such big scenes.

On the day when Feitian was agreed, that is, three days later, such a strange scene appeared in Yingtian Mansion.

Almost all the shops were closed, and all the restaurants sent out takeaways on the way to the Qilin Gate. All the open spaces near the Qilin Gate were occupied by people.Even the roof near the Qilin Gate was crowded with people, and several houses even collapsed. For this reason, the government had to temporarily warn the people that if they must go to the roof, they must first confirm whether the roof is secure.It is not forbidden, that is because it is not easy to ban, and the ground is really not enough.And the guarding eunuch also comprehended the meaning of Emperor Chongzhen, the more people want to watch, the better.

Before the time came, upstairs and downstairs, on the roof and on the ground, in Yingtian Mansion, from the princes and ministers to the common people, were all sitting there chatting.Those who have no money can drink boiled water and chat under the rising sun.Those who are rich are served by servants, while they eat melon seeds and chat with each other while eating cakes.

The topics of their chats are nothing more than "Why does the emperor accept his apprentice", "What is the virtue and ability of this apprentice", "Can this flying sky be able to do it?"...

The most senior officials of Yingtian Mansion, such as guarding eunuchs and Liubu Shangshu, were uncharacteristically this time, not as in the past, "big men are always the last to appear", they have already arrived at the scene, right on the top of the Qilin Gate, the best place to watch .Their abnormal behavior also made some people who followed their movements feel very strange.

Just when everyone was seated early, they were already waiting for the emperor's apprentice to come and demonstrate.Someone saw a group of people riding over.

Many of the people I saw had no topic to talk about, so they had new words.

"Why did this group of people come so late? You made a mistake, there is no place!"

"It looks like it should be a rich family. Could it be that the servants of the family have taken up some position?"

"I guess, it is possible to see which position is suitable, and directly spend money on it!"

"..."

This group of people is Emperor Chongzhen and his party.Compared with before, there are more Song Yingxing, his book boy, and Sun Chuanting.They went directly to the Qilin Gate, and heard occasional loud discussions from the side.The others were fine, but Song Yingxing's book boy held his head high like a rooster that had won a fight, extremely proud.

"Hey, which mansion do they belong to? They actually went to the Qilin Gate!"

"It should be. Look at the young man at the head. It can't be that high-ranking official of our Yingtian Mansion. He looks very strange and doesn't know him!"

"Haha, I don't seem to know that only senior officials of the fifth rank and above can go up to the Qilin Gate tower, and family members can't go there either!"

"..."

At this time, the Qilin Gate has actually been sealed by the soldiers of Bingmasi.As the passers-by said, the city of Qilinmen is not big, and Yingtian Mansion is the accompanying capital. There are not many officials above the fifth rank, and it is impossible to bring their families.What's more, the guarding eunuch knew that the emperor was coming, so how could he let the idlers wait to go to the top of the city.

When some melon-eaters wanted to see people make a fool of themselves, a captain of Jinyiwei just showed his badge to the soldiers who stopped him, and the group entered the city gate in full view.This time, it aroused discussions among followers, who all guessed who the men and women who went in just now were?

It is obviously impossible to be an official, even if one of them is an official, what would the woman say?Of course they don't know that women also have grades.

Xu Zhengmao, the guarding eunuch, had noticed the arrival of Emperor Chongzhen and his party a long time ago, but he knew that the emperor didn't want to reveal his identity at the beginning, so, according to his temperament, after the emperor went to the top of the city, he immediately led the important officials of Yingtian Mansion to meet him. .

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he waved his hand and said: "Today is just a grand event for viewing, not in court, so no big gift is needed."

The officials of Yingtian Mansion are actually officials without real power. They are far away from the political center of Ming Dynasty, and most of them are pensioners.The sudden arrival of the emperor is an opportunity for them to become officials.Therefore, they all thought about how to express themselves, and immediately talked about the matter of Feitian one by one, as if they believed it from the beginning to the end, and it was definitely possible. Inside and outside the words, they all admired Emperor Chongzhen for being able to teach such an apprentice It's amazing!

However, Emperor Chongzhen just sneered at these people in his heart, and had no achievement value contribution at all, obviously duplicity and other things.

After all, whether people can fly in the sky is a big question mark in their hearts.After all, such a thing has never happened since ancient times.

When the emperor was in place, Xu Zhengming naturally didn't delay, and immediately several carts brought hot air balloons over.

As soon as the protagonist arrived today, he immediately attracted the attention of the audience.Everyone watched as Xu Zhengming and his group arrived at an open space in front of Qilin Gate and began to get busy.Slowly, a hot air balloon slowly took shape under their operation.

At this moment, everyone was surprised, and many people suddenly realized, pointing to the huge balloon and saying: "This...isn't this an extra-large Kongming lantern!"

"Yes, it seems that it is indeed possible. After the Kongming lantern is lit, it can be lifted into the sky! It should be no problem to bring an ant, right? If it is big enough, it can be taken with someone, isn't it?"

"..."

Some things, when you don't know them, feel amazing, but when the principle is revealed, it feels much simpler.Looking at the huge hot air balloon, many people have already believed it. It turns out that people can really fly to the sky.

Of course, there are also a small number of people who are disappointed.They always thought that this flying sky should be a fairy flying into the sky with auspicious clouds.After all, this is the technique of flying to the sky handed down by the True Dragon Emperor!

One of Xu Zhengming's assistants was observing the direction of the wind.In this season, the wind is generally southeast.After the observation was correct, Xu Zhengming began to operate.This time the flying demonstration, Xu Zhengming naturally would not let others operate it.

Regardless of whether the people watching the Ming Dynasty thought of Kongming Lanterns or not, no matter whether they figured out the principle behind it or not, when Xu Zhengming operated the hot air balloon off the ground and slowly rose into the sky, everyone stopped discussing and stared at Xu Zhengming in the air. In the balloon, higher and higher.

When the balloon continued to rise above the height of the city, everyone had to look up.When the rope was untied and the hot air balloon began to float slowly through the air, everyone's mouths fell open.This is the first ever, human being in the air!
Suddenly, a huge couplet was thrown out by Xu Zhengming and hung in the air.

"There is nothing impossible, only unexpected!"

"Technology rejuvenates the country, technology changes the world!"

To be honest, this is not a couplet, but a slogan, and it is just hung on the hot air balloon in the form of a couplet.These two sentences were engraved in the minds of all viewers in a very shocking way.

The hot air balloon eventually floated slowly into Yingtianfu and crossed Yingtianfu.

All the people, all silent, watched the hot air balloon drifting in the air.
