Chapter 544: Above the moon

"Your Highness."
Walking through the Bowen Academy, the students who came and went kept saluting to Xiao Ming, and Xiao Ming kept walking back and forth.
This time he came to the Bowen Academy not to check the learning situation of the students. With the increase in the number of students in the academy, he no longer cares about this issue, because as the number of students increases, the competition among the students is also increasing. If you don’t think about making progress, you will be eliminated if you fail the semi-annual assessment, and you will lose the opportunity to study at Bowen Academy.
This is not because Xiao Ming is cruel, but because all the students of the Bowen Academy have free board and lodging, and there is a basic salary every month. It can be said that he is raising these students, so unlike modern colleges, He does not raise waste.
If the most basic assessment fails, they will not be eligible to enjoy these benefits. After all, his assessment is only a test paper of the level of the year. As long as 70% of the questions can be answered correctly, the assessment will be passed. At the same time, there are more than the traditional written test. Practice assessment.
For example, students from the School of Chemistry and the School of Physics must be able to complete part of the experiment independently and test their hands-on ability to use what they have learned.
In the first half of the assessment, the Bowen Academy eliminated more than 30 students who were not educated and skillful, and this seriously stimulated other students. All students who entered the Bowen Academy also took their knowledge seriously, and did not dare to be confused. Mixed in the college.
Under the protection of the guards, Xiao Ming went directly to the school of the Academy of Astronomy. These students were all gathered from the people by Xiao Ming. After passing the basic assessment and proving that they had some simple understanding of the astrology, they formally became the Bowen Academy. Of students.
"Caomin join your Highness."
There are only seven people in the school, all of which are the same age, ranging from sixteen to sixty.
But he doesn't care about age. His goal is to tear the veil of feudal superstition, as long as they can help them establish a basic scientific understanding among the people.
"Free gift." Xiao Ming smiled.
This time he came this time in the evening, so choosing this time to come over is naturally without a target, because it is about to be in the middle of the month. This is the time when the moon is the roundest and largest in a month, and is most easily observed by astronomical telescopes.
To get rid of the folk feudal ignorance, he must first get rid of the ignorance in the hearts of these seven people, because the seven people's understanding of the starry sky is only from books such as divination, and they are very familiar with calamities and evil stars.
The old man who is the first among the seven people is the most talkative. This person’s name is Yan Zhengyi. He used to be just a fortune-telling gentleman on the streets of Qingzhou. Later, when he learned in the newspaper that Xiao Ming needed to understand the astrology, he volunteered to come. I hope to be an assistant in the Qi Palace.
Because of the idea of ​​monarch power, generally speaking, there are people who are proficient in astrology around both the princes and the nobles. Before the war, these people will be allowed to deduce the astrology to test the bad luck.
"Does Your Highness leave us to let me wait to infer the bad luck for Your Highness?" Yan Zhengyi's face was full of creases. He is sixty to five this year. When Xiao Ming chose him, he suddenly Exclaiming that it was Jiang Taigong who had met Zhou Wenwang made Xiao Ming laugh.
Before Xiao Ming could speak, Yan Zheng raised his eyes and glanced at the fading sky. At this time, a full moon had already risen from the east. He clung to Hu Xu and said, "Your Highness's Palace Master is Ziweixing, this Ziwei The star is the emperor star, which means that His Royal Highness is the appearance of the emperor. After the Chang'an Rebellion, the purple star became more and more bright and even obscured the star. This shows that His Royal Highness is the lord of the world, and the future is boundless."
"Hahaha..." Xiao Ming who had to say what Yan Zhengyi said was very comfortable, but he came from a different time and space, which Yan Zhengyi definitely couldn't tell.
The purple star in Yan Zheng's mouth, also known as the North Star, is the main star of Ursa Minor, and the Big Dipper revolves around it in all seasons.
If you compare the sky to a funnel, then Ziweixing is the top of this funnel. This kind of purple star surrounded by stars is compared to the life of purple micro star.
According to the range of the stars, he was born at home as the head of the family and born in the country as the king of a country. Yan Zhengyi is using this method to fool him.
Seeing that Xiao Ming was so happy, Yan Zhengyi also agreed and laughed, in his opinion he was right.
However, when the two of them were smiling, one of the young men said disdainfully: "His Royal Highness, this purple star is just a star, but it has nothing to do with fate. Just as Chen Sheng and Wu Guang said, the princes and generals of Xiangning have a kind of love. There are not a few people in Ziwei, but those who can become the master of the world are all talented and broad-minded."
"Huang Yanqing, what nonsense are you talking about!" Yan Zhengyi's expression suddenly changed, "This is something passed down from the ancestors, so you dare to slander."
Xiao Ming put away his smile, he looked at the fat young man and said, "This theory of astrology is the study of the emperor, why do you criticize it like this?"
"Because Your Highness looked for me not for astrology and divination, but for astrology, and His Highness's Bowen Academy is also famous for its peculiar knowledge. If your Highness needs celebrities, why don't you have to look for them in the folks. There is a master of astrology in this world. People." Huang Yanqing said slowly.
Hearing this, Xiao Ming nodded. Huang Yanqing is a smart man, and what he said just now proves that he disagrees with Yan Zhengyi's position as a magic stick.
"Well, you are right. This king is not looking for you for divination, but to let you truly understand what the stars in the sky are?" Xiao Ming said lightly.
Yan Zhengyi’s face changed. Like this liar, every liar knows that he is telling a lie, but he has to convince others. This Yan Zhengyi has only read two photo books, and he doesn’t believe what he said. .
Now that Xiao Ming said bluntly, he suddenly laughed. This is not true, nor is it not.
Glancing at the restrained Yan Zhengyi~EbookFREE.me~ Xiao Ming looked at the rising moon again, and then Xiao Ming said to the seven: "You follow me."
Then he led the seven people outside the school, when Zhao Long and Zhao Hu had pointed his astronomical telescope at the moon.
Seeing the telescope, all seven of them showed a puzzled look. At this time, Xiao Ming stepped forward to adjust the telescope and said to Huang Yanqing: "Let's take a look at the moon in your eyes?"
Huang Yanqing was generous and unrestrained at all. He walked over, took a look at the method Xiao Ming said, and suddenly said, "How is this similar to a pockmarked face? Is this the moon?"
"Yes, this is the moon in the sky." Xiao Ming smiled.
Taking this opportunity, Xiao Ming told the seven people about the basic knowledge of the moon, the earth, and the solar system. Under Xiao Ming’s narration, pictures flashed through the seven people’s minds, allowing them to see something that shocked them. The truth of the world.
"Well, this is what the king wants to tell you. If you can accept it, you can stay. If you can't accept it, you can leave by yourself. This king will not make things difficult for you."
