At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 260 Don't fight anymore

"Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good!"

Zhu Qizhen was beautiful in his heart, but saw Wynn running over in a hurry.

"Didn't you ask you to send those two people to Honglu Temple? Why did you come back?"

Wynn was panting, pointed to the outside of the hall, and said, "Outside, outside... There's a fight!"

Hearing this, Shi Hengteng jumped up and asked, "Who is calling? How many troops are there?"

Wynn said quickly, "No, that..."

"Stop talking, protect the emperor!"

Shi Heng looked around, but he didn't find the weapon in his hand, so he picked up the brocade pier on the ground and walked out of the hall.

"General Stone!"

Wynn hurriedly stopped him and said, "There are no soldiers and horses, yes, yes..."

Shi Heng was anxious: "What is it, you talk!"

"Yes... it's the Imperial Academy and the Academy of Sciences, fighting!"

It turned out that Wynn had just sent people to the gate of Honglu Temple, but he saw a mess here, a group of Confucian shirts and scarves, and even people in official robes, were...fighting!
Under normal circumstances, the struggle between scholars is a war of words, which is commonly known as cursing, and it is really rare to really roll up your sleeves and shake your fists.

Moreover, it was still a group fight, at least hundreds of people.

Wynn hurried forward and inquired about the situation. It turned out that it had nothing to do with Honglu Temple. It was the Hanlin Academy and the newly established Academy of Sciences. The two groups had a dispute about some issues at the beginning, but it became more and more violent and eventually led to a group fight.

As for why these two groups of people fought at the gate of Honglu Temple, it was entirely because the Imperial Academy was to the east of Honglu Temple, and the Academy of Sciences was to the west of Honglu Temple, and Honglu Temple was innocent.

The minister of Honglu Temple was also very helpless, and he couldn't persuade him, so he had to let it go. If you like to fight, just hit, don't smash Honghe Temple.

Seeing the seriousness of the situation, Wynn hurried back to report the situation.

Zhu Qizhen frowned and asked, "What's the reason?"

"It seems to say that the Academy of Sciences has published a book called, what is it called... Encyclopedia or something. The Imperial Academy said that this book is heresy, and that people in the Academy of Sciences are not doing their jobs all day long. It is useless to do all these things. They are scholars. Shame..."

The Academy of Sciences was just established this year, with Qin Tianjian as the team, and Peng Qing, the former Qin Tianjian supervisor, as the first bachelor in charge of the academy.

Since Peng Qing was still overseas, the former Deputy Superintendent Bei Lin acted as the agent to preside over the work of the Academy of Sciences.

Strictly speaking, the Academy of Sciences is not a functional department, but through the new imperial examinations, a large number of talents in natural sciences are selected and formed for systematic scientific research.

The first thing the Academy of Sciences did after its establishment was to compile the Encyclopedia of Natural Sciences.

This book is similar to the [-] whys of later generations, for example, why it rains when thunder strikes, why the earth is round all year round, roughly these basic popular science knowledge.

This is because the natural sciences in Ming Dynasty have just started. Although the new imperial examinations have added relevant content and delineated some ancient works, but after all, it is so old that it is a bit vague to read, and there are even some mistakes.

Only then did Zhu Qizhen give Bei Lin an order, ordering the Academy of Sciences to compile a popular science book covering all aspects as soon as possible, and at the same time easy to understand, preferably for ordinary people to understand.

Unexpectedly, for some reason, this book annoyed the group of old scholars in the Hanlin Academy next door, and even started a fight.

"Report to the Emperor!"

At this time, another little eunuch ran in.

Zhu Qizhen raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

The little eunuch knelt down, leaned over and said: "A lot of people have come, saying that they are asking the emperor to uphold justice!"

Wynn asked quickly, "who?"

"It's the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy, there are a lot of people!"

"Your Majesty, please make the decision..."

There was a faint cry from outside the hall, and then Fan Zhong hurried in and said, "Report to the emperor, the Hanlin Academy collectively broke into the palace, and the humble ministers can hardly stop it!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hands and said, "Don't stop them, let them enter the hall!"

Fan Zhong frowned and said, "But, there are a lot of people!"

"It's okay, let's put it all in."

"Yes!"

The imperial guards outside got the order and gave up trying to stop them. People from the Hanlin Academy rushed in like a swarm. In front of them was a large group of Hanlin scholars with gray hair and beards.

These old pedants seemed to be full of grievances, and they all knelt down on the ground, crying and crying with their noses and tears.

Immediately afterwards, behind these people was a group of young people.

I saw them rolling up their sleeves, chasing the person in front, punching and kicking.

"Your Majesty, help me, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Qizhen raised his eyes and saw that it was Xiao Weizhen, a scholar in charge of the Imperial Academy.

This person is a Jinshi in Xuande for five years. Needless to say, he is knowledgeable. The only problem is that he is too stubborn and does not accept the New Deal at all. When talking about natural science, he always sneers or ridicules.

The person behind him is Belin!

This guy is a talented person, but his temper is too violent.

In this hall, the old ministers who have been beaten by him can almost make up a mahjong table.

Not to mention the arrest of other cabinet ministers, it was also his job.

Zhu Qizhen seemed to understand that the Academy of Sciences was newly established, mainly young people, and these people followed Belin, besides studying natural science, they must also be more or less influenced by his personality.

This time in the battle between the Imperial Academy and the Academy of Sciences, if they scold the street, those old scholars can scold for three days and three nights without repeating anything.

However, how could the people brought out by Belin stand there and be scolded...

Looking at the chaos in the hall, Wynn shouted in a sharp voice: "Silence, silence, everyone, don't lose your dignity in front of you!"

Only then did everyone stop what they were doing, and bowed and saluted one after another.

Fengtian Hall is big enough to accommodate hundreds of people, but it seems a bit crowded.

When many people knelt down, they secretly pinched each other's arms and thighs.

With a sullen face, Zhu Qizhen said slowly: "I heard that you are very good at fighting, aren't you?"

Hearing this, the people from the Academy of Sciences buried their heads even deeper, but the people from the Hanlin Academy all showed joy. They could tell that the emperor wanted to support him.

Xiao Weizhen cried and said: "I implore the emperor to be the master of the old minister!"

Zhu Qizhen glanced at him and said coldly: "Tell me, what's going on?"

Xiao Weizhen wiped away his tears, and said: "The Academy of Sciences, headed by Belin, beat up veterans and others. It's an insult to the gentleman, it's an insult to the gentleman!"

Bellin frowned, and retorted: "Who told you to curse?"

"Presumptuous!" Zhu Qizhen said angrily, "Are you justified in fighting?"

"I... know my mistake!"

Bei Lin didn't dare to do anything wrong, so she had to give in, but she was extremely unwilling in her heart, and said: "I have lost my manners in front of you, and lack of etiquette. The emperor wants to beat and punish me, and I admit it. However, these people insulted me and others, and even accused me of The Encyclopedia of Nature to be edited is a heresy, misleading my disciples, I can't bear it, if I walk out of the hall today, I will beat him up!"
