Chapter 1066 Reasons for deceiving the sky
Deceiving the sky? !
I am still equal to the sky, the great sage.
Zhu Ping'an coughed, raised his hands and bowed to the old man next door, and replied innocently and helplessly, "Ahem, sir, you are always joking, the boy is weak and can't bear to bully the sky. "
"Can't bear it?"
After hearing Zhu Pingan's words, the old man next door became excited again. He grabbed the fence and glared at Zhu Pingan, "What, boy, you have done it and you still don't admit it?!"
"Dare I ask? old man , Boy, what have I done?”
Zhu Pingan felt helpless and wronged after hearing what his old neighbor said. Although he could not be called a capable minister, he could not be compared to the "deceitful" traitor. It can't be related.
“What have you done?!”
Hearing this, the old man blew his beard and stared again, and once he was so excited, he slapped his hand on the fence.
"Be gentle, don't get hurt again." Upon seeing this, Zhu Pingan couldn't help but worry about this grumpy old man.
"Hmph. Lian Po is still able to eat at this old age, and I am also getting stronger with age."
The old man snorted stubbornly, mouthed hard, but put his palms behind his back and shook them lightly. Shake it off.
"You look like you are getting stronger as you grow older."
Zhu Ping'an showed the traditional virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young, and praised with a smile, not like a stubborn old man. It's not easy for the old man to be locked up in a prison cell with extremely poor conditions at such an old age.
"When it comes to compliments, you come right out of your mouth. You are indeed a flatterer."
After hearing Zhu Pingan's words, the old man not only did not ease his mood, but instead blew his beard and became more energetic.
Uh.
This old man is very prejudiced against himself.
After hearing the old man's personal attack, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but take a deep breath, stretched out his hand to rub his forehead, looked at the old man helplessly, and cupped his hands, "You are stupid, I really don't know what you did wrong. , please give me some advice.”
"I wonder what I did wrong?" When the old man heard this, he got angry and slapped the fence emotionally again.
"Please give me some advice, sir. I am all ears." Zhu Pingan bowed and said seriously, "If I am really wrong, I will never evade responsibility."
Zhu Pingan's attitude The old man was a little satisfied. He snorted and nodded, "Okay, I'll let you know."
"Last month, the sun had an eclipse. This was a vision from heaven to show the emperor. Why?! The emperor did something wrong, which inspired heaven, so heaven showed a solar eclipse vision to warn and condemn the emperor. At this time, the ritual of rescuing people should be performed as usual. The emperor should observe fasting, banish food, abstain from music, and retreat from the main hall. In addition, he should cultivate virtue and correct mistakes. The same goes for all officials. However, during a solar eclipse, as a minister. "Sir, it's natural to give advice and help." The stubborn old man was frothing at the words, and he couldn't help but get excited, "But what about you! You are a flatterer, and you don't even do your duty as a courtier." If you don't care, you will know how to flatter. "Your Majesty serves the heaven as a father, serves the sun as a brother, manages the government with diligence, loves the herdsmen, improves the internal affairs, strengthens the country and enriches the people, and benefits the world." The clouds are retreating, and everything is shining brightly. The sun is shining brightly, and the sun is shining brightly. It is the same as not eating. You are so happy that you are so stupid! The top of your head is so big, you can't see it! What's the meaning of "stopping food and not eating"? Who are you kidding with your eyes open? "
< br>Uh.
So that’s what happened.
Zhu Ping'an scratched his head in sudden realization. At this time, he finally understood why his old neighbor blew his beard and glared when he heard his name, and slapped himself with the label of "bullying the sky".
Experience determines height.
Zhu Pingan can also understand the mood of his old neighbor.
In the feudal and superstitious Ming Dynasty, the ancients did not understand the scientific explanation of solar eclipses. They believed that solar eclipses heralded a "bad omen" and explained solar eclipses in terms of "the unity of heaven and man." The emperor is the son of heaven - the eldest son of heaven, and heaven is the father of the emperor. He will warn and warn his eldest son through the phenomena on the surface of the sun, such as if you are ignorant and ignorant, what have you done wrong, and what have you done recently? If there is danger, be more careful, etc... As a minister, you have the responsibility to help the king correct his mistakes and avoid danger, and you must rescue the solar eclipse.
The old neighbor has this kind of knowledge, and his level of understanding is naturally limited by this knowledge.
As a result, a solar eclipse occurred, and I wrote a memorial, "Stop eating for even one minute is the same as not eating, and I will be very happy and resentful." Naturally, it was not accepted by my old neighbors.
Using the standards of my old neighbor’s knowledge, I would be considered a cowardly little treacherous minister, no, a big treacherous minister.
How to explain this to him? Should we popularize natural science to him? Come on, come on, sir, sit down and let me popularize natural science to you. This solar eclipse and lunar eclipse are both examples of light propagating in straight lines in the same homogeneous medium. The moon, yes, is the one above our heads. The moon, when it moves between the sun and the earth, what, how does it move? If the three are exactly in a straight line, the moon will block the light from the sun to the earth. In this way, the black shadow behind the moon will just fall on the earth. , a solar eclipse occurs.
Pull him down, I don’t want to be burned on the gallows! Natural science is contrary to the common sense of the ancients and is considered heresy in their eyes! The treatment is not much different from that of witches and cults. According to the standard, they all have to go to the gallows.
However, I have to explain, otherwise I won’t be able to take off the label of a deceitful and treacherous official; and this old man is still in prison at such an old age, and his anger level will skyrocket when he sees it. It’s too dangerous; besides, I guess I may have to stay in this prison for a while. I have to improve my relationship with my neighbors. The conditions in prison are already so difficult. If I am treated with all kinds of looks, contempt and abuse by my old neighbors every day, I will be in prison. Aren't the days getting harder and harder?
"Ahem, sir, the memorial you just mentioned was indeed written by me, but there is a reason for it. Please listen to my explanation." Zhu Pingan coughed and clasped his hands to the neighbor. road.
"Hmph, then I'll listen to how you confuse right and wrong."
The stubborn old man snorted, smoothed his messy beard and nodded, then found a dry piece of He rubbed some hay with his feet and sat down, looking like a melon-eater.
Listen to how I confuse right and wrong? !
Before he could even explain it, this old man had already determined it for himself. And this tone of voice... Why does it feel like I'm stuck in a prison, listening to my own excuses to relieve my boredom and pass the time? !
Zhu Pingan looked at the old man eating melon with a speechless expression.
"What are you doing standing there? Start your confusion of right and wrong." urged the old man sitting on the ground. (End of this chapter)
