Bright Spring

Miao Jin pondered: "You said before that the world needs truly capable people to govern."

After a while, she finally couldn't help her curiosity and asked, "What does 'abstract model' mean?"

Zhu Gaoxu gestured twice, and said: "Through what we actually see, we first think about assuming an invisible rule 'model', and then pass various experiments to verify the authenticity of that rule.

In fact, we also have methods in this regard, just like those doctors who say that people have meridians and five elements, and set some rules such as cold and heat, and then use those rules to diagnose and prescribe prescriptions.However, I think that when they prescribe medicines, they mainly rely on experience to conclude which medicines can cure which diseases.

For another example, Westerners say that all things have gravitation, and have assumed and tested some rules of mechanics and kinematics. This is an 'abstract model'.But no one can explain clearly what gravity is, and if you think about it deeper, you will be confused.So the person who made the rules later believed in God, thinking that everything is the law of God.

However, people in the world do not understand the most basic things, but this does not affect the use of this method to create more things. "

Miao Jin looked thoughtful, as if she understood what Zhu Gaoxu meant.

She suddenly asked: "Your Majesty thinks, who made the world's rules?"

"Your question is too deep. There is a saying that we created everything by ourselves through observation (quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat). But who knows?" Zhu Gaoxu laughed.

He observed Miaojin's expression, and felt that she understood part of the words more or less, and suddenly had a little more confidence in the world.It is said that people of the yellow race have the highest IQ, and people's understanding of things cannot be underestimated.

Chapter 7 The Cruel Pleasure

Just like Zhu Gaoxu's sentimental experience, it was too easy to be lazy if he wanted to be an emperor in the Ming Dynasty.

He always knew that the palace examination was written and reviewed by the emperor himself.But after he summoned Qi Tai, he realized that he could ask the minister to write a few policy questions, and then the emperor only needed to choose one topic.

As for how to get the No. [-] pick, it's even easier.There is no definite standard for this matter, the emperor can be very arbitrary, and no one will make trouble.After all, those who take part in the palace examination will not fail the rankings. After the palace examination, they are all Jinshi, and everyone is happy.

The emperor can judge by who can write well or who looks good, no problem.For example, Wang Gen in the Jianwen period was originally the number one scholar, but because he was not too upright, he was not selected; and Huang Zicheng in the Hongwu period, because the Taizu asked him his name, he could not speak fluently, and he did not become the number one scholar.

Zhu Gaoxu recalled the stories he had heard before, and thought that it is no wonder that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty had all kinds of strange things; some played crickets, some opened brothels, some could not read and write carpenters, and there were more than one who had not been in court for decades. .Perhaps the reason why they could do that was because the emperor didn't have to do anything, and the court could function as usual.

He still remembers the discussion in the textbook that the Ming and Qing Dynasties were the peak of the development of feudal autocracy.This statement should also be correct, but during most of the Ming Dynasty, it may not be the emperor's centralization of power, but the centralization of power.

Some emperors' subjective wish is to let the ministers do all the work, but they can't share the benefits and power; this is the same as letting the horse run but not eat grass.The result will only be that bureaucratic groups hold most of the power and take away most of the benefits.So from the Yongle Dynasty onwards, the royal family began to change their strategies, gradually abandoning unrealistic illusions, and instead sought "power checks and balances"; there were two sudden imbalances, one was the civil fortress, and the other was the destruction of the eunuch party.

These are Zhu Gaoxu's own understanding of the government.But today's pattern is beginning to be reshaped, and I'm afraid it has become very different from history...

Zhu Gaoxu sat in the East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace all morning, but he still hasn't finished reviewing the memorial.He admired Emperor Taizu very much in his heart, and he still authorized all memorials at the age of [-].Probably those who start a business really understand the hard-won of the country.

After lunch, he asked the eunuch to send the remaining memorials directly to the cabinet of the Hall of Martial Arts for processing by the cabinet and the Treasure Office.He himself went to the Hall of Rouyi to read, and he hadn't finished reading "Life Notes" written by Miao Jin.

Those two yamen were initially set up temporarily because of the Northern Expedition, so they did not encounter any dissuasion.However, after Zhu Gaoxu returned to Beijing, he still did not disband; he just canceled the right of "expedient decision-making" for emergency matters. After all, after Zhu Gaoxu returned to the palace, he could personally decide on urgent matters.

He had a premonition that opposition voices were brewing. In the "Dianbao Department", an institution that refuted the decision-making, there were several noble generals and a eunuch; it was unheard of for these people to participate in the decision-making process.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't pay attention to it for the time being, he stayed in Rouyi Hall until the next night.The eunuch Cao Fu told him that it was the turn of Concubine Duan Xue to be the servant of the bedchamber today.So Zhu Gaoxu ordered Cao Fu to call the concubine De to go to the Qianqing Palace to sleep.

The emperor of Ming Dynasty was like this. He didn't have to worry about everything from basic necessities of life to government affairs, even women.

But it was only then that he gradually realized that Cao Fu was originally a eunuch of the Shangshan Supervisor, how could he take care of this kind of thing?At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there was no internal government office specially set up to turn over the brand, and this Cao Fu unknowingly occupied a power vacuum; and for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu felt nothing, but felt very comfortable.

Perhaps the people in the imperial city are well-informed and often fight openly and secretly, so I'm afraid they are not fuel-efficient lamps.

When Duan Xuehen arrived, night had already fallen, but it was still relatively early.She was wearing a satin dress with a crimson xiadhi ribbon.It was impossible for Duan Xuehen to wear such clothes when he followed him to the north; Zhu Gaoxu was not used to seeing her at this time;

Her face was also modified, but when Zhu Gaoxu looked carefully, she found that she only applied rouge on her lips and eyebrows, and there was no powder on other places.Her complexion is not as good as other concubines, but it is naturally fair, and the blemishes on her skin can't be seen clearly at night.Only when she got close to the light did Zhu Gaoxu see the light sweat on her hairline.

Duan Xuehen prepared wolfberry rice wine soup.Zhu Gaoxu felt that there was nothing wrong with his body, but his good intentions were hard to come by, so he didn't say anything.

At this time, Xue Hen suddenly asked: "The Holy One said, the stars and the moon are very big. But why didn't they fall?"

Zhu Gaoxu was a little surprised, he didn't expect that some of his remarks would germinate in their hearts.He was only thinking about the happy spring night at present, and he didn't want to talk about anything else; but just this morning, he remembered a lot of things in this regard, and he became a little interested.

"Go down." Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and said.

After hearing this, all the female officials and court ladies knelt down and said, "Yes."

Zhu Gaoxu is not willing to say these things lightly in front of ministers or irrelevant people, mainly because he is afraid of being regarded as a madman with an abnormal brain; but he is not very wary of his close concubines... just like if the future generations Some people claim that the microcosm and matter do not exist and are just illusions of consciousness, and most people cannot accept such idealistic statements.

He took off the "Heavenly Match" jadeite pendant from his belt, found another rope to tie it, and then swung a circle in the air.

Duan Xuehen looked at him in confusion.

Zhu Gaoxu shook it for a while, then put away the jade pendant, and said, "Why didn't the jade pendant fly out?"

Duan Xue said bitterly: "There is a rope pulling me."

Zhu Gaoxu asked again: "The rope pulled it, why didn't it run towards the palm of the hand?"

Duan Xuehen: "..."

Zhu Gaoxu said quickly: "Because it turns around in a circle, it needs a kind of pulling force towards the middle; otherwise, if we cut the rope, the jade pendant will definitely fly. Has Debi seen a magnet?"

Duan Xuehen nodded.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "There is no rope between the magnet and the iron, but there is a pulling force, called magnetic force; and there is a force between all things, called gravitational force, and there is no 'rope'.

The rotation of the jade pendant relies on the pulling force of the rope, and the rotation of the stars relies on that kind of gravity.

Two ordinary things seem to have no gravitational force, because the things are not heavy enough and the gravitational force is very small.But our earth is heavy enough, so things will always fall to the ground and not fly into the sky. "

Duan Xuehen murmured: "It's so strange..."

Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile: "The earth is actually a sphere. Because it is too big, people standing on it think it is flat. But if you go to the sea and look at it, you can see that the sea level is arc-shaped."

Duan Xuehen said in amazement: "Then why don't the people below fall?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Everyone is dragged towards the middle, the people below think that the sky is below."

Duan Xuehen: "..."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "The best way to prove it is to sail the boat in one direction, and finally return to the original place where it started."

Duan Xuehen stood there in a daze, without saying a word for a long time.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at her, but didn't care too much, so he took out "Daily Diary" and continued to read.He didn't think Duan Xuehen would have any problems hearing these words.When there are too many things that people can't figure out, they usually forget it, because it doesn't affect the life in front of them; only those who are very persistent, paranoid and always want to break the casserole and ask the bottom line will keep thinking about it.

After a while, Duan Xuehen really didn't want to, stepped forward to scoop up the soup she had prepared, and handed it to Zhu Gaoxu to drink.

Zhu Gaoxu took the ceramic white bowl, glanced at her, and thanked her.

Duan Xuehen said in a low voice: "Your Majesty... you can ask me to do some excessive things. If others don't want it, as long as your Majesty wants it, you can do it."

"What's the matter?" Zhu Gaoxu asked casually.

Duan Xuehen blushed.

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment, and said kindly: "Has Xue Hen let go of the past? You have no crimes, and those things really don't blame you. Even Duan Yang said before he died, everything is not your fault."
