"How's it going outside?"
Cui Qingze paced in the room, saw a person walking in hurriedly from outside, and immediately asked.
This confidant of the Cui family naturally knew what the Patriarch was concerned about these few days, and immediately said: "Master, we have sent more people, but so far—it still has no effect."
"It's weird..."
Cui Qingze frowned. Before the king of Shu was called the virtuous king, they supported him as the crown prince. The speed of the news spread was unbelievably fast. Without even giving them any time to react, a strong public opinion was formed in the capital. trend.
It was precisely because of this that His Majesty drove him out of the capital in a rage. Neither the Cui family nor the imperial concubine had time to think of a way to redeem it...
But this time, it was obviously the same method, and he even sent so many people on his own initiative to fuel the flames and spread the news everywhere, why didn't it work
While Cui Qingze was puzzled, that Cui family confidant was also watching him secretly.
During this trip, not many people talked about the eldest princess, but there were quite a few people who talked about the Cui family.
The patriarch and the second master have a habit of cutting off their sleeves. This is pure nonsense, that is, those people outside spread it. As members of the Cui family, they know what the patriarch and the second master are. Existence is some people with ulterior motives, to smear for the sake of smearing...
However, the wife of the head of the house and the third master...
Not to mention, they really didn't pay attention before. After being reminded like this, they were surprised to find that the wife of the head of the family and the third master are closer than other people. Could it be some insider of the Cui family? Passed out
"Cui Jian, Cui Jian?"
Lifting his head suddenly, seeing the Patriarch looking at him, Cui Jian came back to his senses, and immediately asked, "What is the Patriarch's order?"
Cui Qingze waved his hand and said, "No, you go down first. In the past two days, pay more attention to the movement outside."
"Yes, the master has no other orders, so I'll go down first."
Cui Jian replied respectfully, and when he retreated to the door of the room, the voice came from behind him again.
"Wait a moment."
Cui Qingze looked at him with no expression on his face, and asked lightly: "What is Qingduo doing these days?"
"Third Master?" Cui Jian was startled, glanced at the Patriarch, lowered his head and said, "I don't know..."
…
"Wait a minute, what are you doing, come back!"
Seeing Li Xuan hurried towards the direction of Furong Garden after leaving the main hall, Li Yi stopped him in time.
"The stargazing meeting will be in three days, I have to go back and prepare." Li Xuan said in surprise: "It's not what you said, let me take it seriously, when the time comes, I have to deal with those guys from the Sitianjian, if you don't prepare in advance How about it?"
Li Yi looked at him and asked, "Have you thought about what to say?"
Li Xuan looked excited: "Of course I've thought about it!"
The question of why he saw lightning first and then heard thunder made his head hurt. What a magical starry sky, his head was about to burst just now. Such an interesting thing, of course, everyone has a headache together.
Li Yi asked tentatively: "It is said that the you standing opposite you is not the current you, that the sun they saw was the sun half a quarter of an hour ago, and that the Big Dipper in the sky has been the Big Dipper for more than a hundred years. , said that if you look up at the starry sky at a forty-five-degree angle, you can see the past?"
"Yes, that's it. Do you have anything to add?" Li Xuan nodded sharply, and then asked in confusion, "Why is it at a forty-five degree angle?"
"Add a fart!" Li Yi grabbed his arm and said with a dark face, "Get in the car first."
When the carriage drove to the entrance of the Academy of Sciences, Li Xuan jumped out of the carriage, looking a little dispirited.
"Remember what I just said?" Li Yi asked again for confirmation.
"I remember it all..." Li Xuan lowered his head and said, "Let them look at the stars, overthrow Yinghuo's conclusion, and tell them that the cause of the solar eclipse and lunar eclipse is not because of your majesty's immorality, the astronomical warning..., other than that Other than that, don't say a single word."
Li Yi looked at him, frowned and said, "You'd better take what I said to heart. This is not a joke. If you talk too much, it won't do you any good."
Although in Jingguo, no one dared to put Li Xuan on the fire just because of what he said, his thinking was a little ahead, and with His Majesty's protection, he could speak clearly and logically, and justify himself, it was at best an academic debate, which was fine. , but the thinking is too advanced, it is very likely to be regarded as a lunatic, and maybe it will touch the point of the feudal dynasty, and it will not end well...
This stargazing meeting is to dispel the rumors about the princess spread by the Cui family, and help the old emperor clear his grievances by the way, not to spread science. mixed up.
After seeing Li Xuan's three promises, he stepped into the gate of the Academy of Sciences and became excited again. Li Yi felt that three days later, he should go and see for himself.
…
"Grandpa, why are there bumps and hollows on the moon..."
Xiaohuan came down from a high platform set up in the yard, and said with some disappointment.
Li Yi touched her head and said, "Didn't I tell you before, this is what the moon really looks like."
Xiaohuan's pretty face was still a little disappointed, it's fine that there is no Chang'e Jade Rabbit Osmanthus Tree and Guanghan Palace on the moon, but it's still so ugly, the little fantasy left in her heart was finally completely shattered.
Ruyi came down from the high platform and asked Li Yidao: "Master, will you use it to look at the moon in Furong Garden tomorrow?"
Li Yi nodded. The Academy of Sciences has only developed one telescope for astronomical observations. Li Xuan's precious one is like anything else, and he borrowed it with great difficulty.
"I've already seen it today, so I won't go there tomorrow night. Duan'er sleeps lightly at night, and when I wake up, I can't see my concubine, so I will cry." Ruyi looked at him and said.
Li Yi nodded, and said, "If you don't go, let's go, it's really meaningless..."
Ruyi doesn't like that kind of lively occasion, besides, Li Xuan is not really kind enough to invite those people to watch the moon to open their eyes tomorrow, and maybe they will fight with others, so he will not force Ruyi to go there together.
Turning his head to see Miss Liu Er finished watching the moon, and then looked at the telescope itself, Li Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately said: "This won't work, this will still be useful tomorrow, so we can't grab it..."
…
"Tonight, go to Furong Garden?"
In Yangliu Lane, Zeng Zuimo looked at him in surprise, and asked, "Isn't that the royal garden?"
Li Yi looked at her and said, "There's something lively there to watch at night, do you want to go there with me?"
I don't have much time to accompany her these days, and I always feel a little bit sorry. She likes to be lively, and she should be more interested in such occasions.
"Ms. Li, isn't Sister Liu going?" Zeng Zuimo looked at him and asked.
Li Yi shook his head.
"Then, let me think about it."
She was actually a little moved, after all, this is a rare opportunity to be alone with him, but the relationship between the two has not been made public, so it is always a bit inappropriate to appear with him like this...
A thought suddenly appeared in her mind, a look of light flashed in her eyes, she nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you tonight..."
Cui Fu.
"The stargazing party, what exactly is it..." Cui Qingze held an invitation card in his hand, turned around and said, "Madam, is there anything tonight, how about we go together?"
The woman shook her head and said, "I'm a little tired today, master, go by yourself."
Cui Qingze nodded, and when he walked out of the room, he saw someone coming from one side of the corridor, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Qingduo, tonight, His Majesty will hold a banquet in the Furong Garden and invite all the ministers to participate in the stargazing meeting. Go there together?"
"A stargazing party?"
The third master of the Cui family shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "I'm not interested, besides, I have a drink with friends tonight, brother, you should go by yourself..."
