Baidu otaku as Chongzhen

Chapter 624
In the city of Beijing, it was extremely lively. The court, which had been quiet for a while, finally seemed to start to show its power. The court began to boil, and officials began to gather together to express their opinions on something, and the momentum was also extremely large.

This battle involving the fate of the Ming Dynasty finally sounded the horn and entered the stage of decisive battle.

In the eyes of outsiders, this massive "group attack" seems to have great power, and it seems to be able to determine the outcome.But those who actually know the truth know that the battle has already been decided. Although it looks lively now, it actually poses no threat to the emperor at all. Now the tax dispute is about to come to an end. The dispute over tax payment basically ended with the emperor's victory, and the outcome only depended on how the emperor won.

Faced with such a depressing ending, Yang Reform is also quite boring. He originally planned to let Han Yu gather people who opposed him from all over the world to have a real contest with him, but Han Yu turned around and left Cao Yubian in the air. On the other hand, this battle has become a bit lukewarm. Yang Reform originally planned to keep a low profile, let those people make a fuss first, gain the upper hand, and then make a sudden move to trample them underfoot, so as to realize his "magnificence" The goal, but now it seems that his opponents are going to play "sadness" with him.

Yang Reform was extremely depressed. Although this result was different from what he had expected, the difference was quite large. He seemed unhappy, and it was not the result he wanted, but after careful consideration, he seemed unable to refuse it. I didn't stand on the opposite side of myself. As the saying goes, stay on the front line so that we can meet each other in the future. In fact, my purpose is to start overseas expansion, and to motivate the ruling class in the Ming Dynasty, such as big landlords, big bureaucrats, Big businessmen and the like set their sights overseas, urging them to invest their capital overseas and establish overseas investment channels. In the future, they will have to deal with them. If the relationship is too rigid, there is no need. Swallow water with lukewarm water.

Yang Reform has made up his mind and decided to show his cards.The original plan was to wait for the showdown at the climax of the matter, knock the opposition to the ground when their morale was highest, and completely wipe them out.Now it seems that we can't wait for that time. The current situation is that the morale of the opposition has actually reached the highest level, and it is impossible to get any higher.

Yang Reform had waited for several days, and the momentum of the opposition could only reach this level. Yang Reform felt that there was no need to wait any longer, and it was time for Zhang Xianyong to appear.It's okay to completely end this battle, it's meaningless to continue like this.

"Big Companion, summon the cabinet ministers and Jiuqing to come here. I have important things to do, so they must all come, and they are not allowed to be absent for any reason." Yang Reform said seriously, but in fact he was a little bored, his opponent They are vulnerable!It's really not challenging or interesting.

"Slave obeys the order!" It was the first time Wang Chengen received such a solemn request from the emperor. Usually, the cabinet, six ministries, etc. held court meetings, but they were not so solemn. Absentees and asking for leave were common, and the emperor would not ask too much.

……

Several cabinet ministers and the six ministers came to the palace very quickly, and they didn't know what was going on today. The emperor suddenly urged them to go to the Qianqing Palace as soon as possible, saying that there was an important matter, and no absence was strictly prohibited. This is the first time they have encountered such a tone. You must know that even if it is a border emergency, they may not use this tone. Many people speculate that something serious may have happened.

"Shoufu, do you know why His Majesty called us so urgently?" An official asked Shi Fenglai for the inside story. Today's scene and atmosphere are really unusual, and I'm afraid something big will happen.

Shi Fenglai shook his head, he didn't know what was going on, this time His Majesty's tone was really severe, and it was the first time: "I don't know Benfu either!"

The officials who came to gather saw that Shi Fenglai had no news at all, and all stared at Sun Chengzong who was standing aside. In the imperial party, although Shi Feng was the chief assistant, he actually did not have the core of Sun Chengzong. Sun Chengzong was the emperor's right-hand man. You know Secrets are the most.

"Ge Lao, Your Majesty summoned us so urgently this time, but what's the big deal?" Seeing that everyone was looking at Sun Chengzong, Bi Ziyan knew that everyone wanted to inquire about inside information, so it would be good to be prepared Yes, but Sun Chengzong looked straight out of the window, as if he was in a trance, and everyone didn't want to disturb him. Bi Ziyan knew that it was time for him to appear on the stage. First, he was also the core of the imperial party. Second, he He is a junior, and his seniority and official position are all under Sun Chengzong. If he asked for advice and news, he disturbed Sun Chengzong, and Sun Chengzong would not blame him if he thought about it.

"Oh, it's Jinghui! There will definitely be a big event..." Sun Chengzong turned his head and saw that it was Bi Ziyan who was asking, so he answered.Seeing everyone looking at him expectantly, Sun Chengzong also knew what they meant. After thinking about it, he said: "...it shouldn't be a bad thing..." After saying this, Sun Chengzong turned his attention to Outside the window, this sentence seems to be for everyone, it seems to be talking to himself, and it seems to be asking himself.

As soon as this sentence was uttered, everyone envied him. Sun Chengzong is worthy of being his right-hand man. He should know the inside story, and when he heard that it was not a bad thing, everyone had their own thoughts.But no one can understand Sun Chengzong's thoughts at this time.

Just as he was speaking, Cao Yubian came in. As the chief constitution, he was also the top boss of the Ming Dynasty. He also seemed to have heard Sun Chengzong's words. He didn't know whether he was laughing or crying, and his expression was particularly ugly.

When everyone is here, they will go to see the emperor.

……

In the warm pavilion, because of the large number of people, it seemed a bit crowded.

"Let's all be excused." Yang Reform said, the meaning in the words was both serious and boring.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En." Everyone thanked them again, and then stood there with their hands down, waiting for the emperor to speak.

"I called you here today because I have something to tell you. You are important ministers of the Ming Dynasty. You should have the right to know about this matter..." Yang Reform sorted out his words and began to speak.

When everyone heard this, they put their hearts in their throats, not knowing what big event was about to happen.

"...This matter is the first time in history, and it is also the first time since the beginning of the world. This matter is related to the destiny of our dynasty and the future of hundreds of millions of Chinese people. Therefore, before talking about this matter, I I request that you keep this matter a secret, and without my permission, you are not allowed to reveal half of what you saw and knew today." Yang Reform strictly demanded secrecy at the beginning.

"The minister waits to obey the order!" Everyone was surprised by the emperor's words. It was not enough in history, and it had to be used for the first time since the beginning of the world. With interest and doubts, it seems that it is not aimed at Cao Yubian and the others. Does the method of dealing with Cao Yubian and the others need to be described in history?It must be known that there is nothing new under the sun. What kind of court battles, monarchs and ministers fights, can they go beyond the level of history?The emperor didn't have the habit of speaking big words either!

"Well, this is almost the same. It's not that I have too many demands, but this matter is too important. It involves the well-being of hundreds of millions of people in my Ming Dynasty. I have to do this and ask you all to keep it secret. In fact, this matter The matter will still be announced, but what is announced and what you see are two different things, you just need to keep the part you see a secret, the part you see is unspeakable..." Yang Reform Seeing that Cao Yubian had plans to stir up trouble, he overwhelmed him with words in advance.

"Your servant understands." Everyone said, and they were all curious about what was going on, it was so weird, it seemed that it was not aimed at Cao Yubian!Now Cao Yubian is already a fish whose bones have been pulled out, how many times can he jump?There was really no need for the emperor to use any means against Cao Yubian.

"Okay then, everyone, come with me. As for why I said that, after reading it, you will naturally understand..." After Yang Reform finished speaking, he left the Nuan Pavilion first.The ministers were surprised, what is it, it is not in the palace yet?Still have to go out?Now that you're out, follow along.

……

The emperor's car drove out of the imperial city, and the common people immediately flocked to it, shouting long live. In this scene, the important ministers who followed the emperor's car were also fortunate to enjoy this kind of treatment for the first time. Everyone's taste is only their own. Know.

The car drove directly out of the inner city and went straight to a Taoist temple in the outer city. This Taoist temple does not stand out in the capital, but it seems a bit quiet, which is completely different from other temples and Taoist temples that only want to burn incense.

Jin Yiwei has already emptied this place, and it has been surrounded from a long distance. There is a post every three steps, and a sentry post every five steps. It is very strict.

Yang Reform's carriage drove directly to the gate of the mountain.Zhang Xianyong had been waiting here for a long time. Hearing that the emperor was coming today, he also made arrangements early and made all the preparations to welcome the emperor.

"I pay homage to Your Majesty!" Zhang Xianyong saluted.

"Excuse me, how are you getting ready?" Yang Reform said.

"Back to Your Majesty, everything is ready." Zhang Xianyong replied affirmatively.

"That's good, let's go and have a look."

Yang Reform didn't talk much, so he let Zhang Xianyong lead the way, ready to see his achievements. As for the ministers behind, Yang Reform didn't need to say hello. They all followed the emperor closely, and they were all attracted by the mysterious atmosphere. .Everyone followed the emperor with some nervousness, and entered this inconspicuous Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple is very quiet, turned left and right a few times, passed through several doors, and came to a house.

Yang Reform stopped, thought for a while, and said to the ministers behind him: "No matter what you see, don't panic..." Yang Reform realized that everyone was inoculated.

The ministers were even more surprised, what is this, so mysterious?Some people even became nervous.

"Come in..." Yang Reform said again, and after speaking, he entered the house.

This house is still bright, the windows are made of glass, and the walls are painted with powder. It looks much brighter than ordinary houses.

All the ministers filed in and entered the room, and soon there were guards closing the door outside.The ministers were shocked again. Many people looked at Sun Chengzong. Seeing that Sun Chengzong looked confident, they calmed down again. Today's matter is really a bit weird. If Sun Chengzong was not in the lead, they would all doubt whether the emperor to do something bad.

"Everyone, have you heard that a bowl of water in the Buddha's eyes can contain hundreds of thousands of insects?" Yang Reform didn't say much, and asked directly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have heard that it was said by the Buddha to be good and refrain from killing..." Someone immediately explained the origin of this sentence.

"Well, I know this. I called you here today to see what the Buddha said about a world where there are a hundred and eight thousand insects in a bowl of water. I have only heard about it before, but I have never seen it. Now, the real person Zhengyi has it." There is a way to let the world see the world..." Yang Reform said briefly, today, Yang Reform intends to show his trump card, and now the situation in the court is clear, he has won, and the strength of the opposition is really strong. It is limited, and it is basically impossible to gather any big energy. Too many people are playing soy sauce. Yang Reform feels that it is dull, and the winning is a bit lacking in passion. He wanted to have a vigorous fight, but in reality, it is so lukewarm. .Yang Reform can't wait any longer, that's all he can do. Yang Reform has more and more important things to do, and he doesn't have the time to show off and find passion here.

After hearing the emperor's words, everyone could only say that they were shocked.I couldn't be more shocked. The Buddha's statement has been widely circulated, but it has always existed only as a legend, or a myth. But now, the emperor actually said that Zhang Xianyong can let everyone see that world. This..., everyone first thought Everyone knows Zhang Xianyong's background. It is more appropriate to say that he is a magic stick. If he can really see a "god", people with great supernatural powers believe that he is the emperor. Everyone looks at him with a shocked expression. emperor.

"My lords, it's polite to be poor." Zhang Xianyong just performed a Taoist etiquette to the important officials present. Since he is a real person, he doesn't need to be inferior to the people here. It is very natural, and he met the emperor. The expression was completely different at that time.

Everyone returned the gift one after another.

"Everyone, since Your Majesty has given the order, let's all come and have a look..." Zhang Xianyong took the emperor's words and began to explain what he should explain to these bigwigs of the Ming Dynasty, so as to realize his dream of "sanctification" road.

"...Look, everyone, this is a bowl of rootless water. It was picked up when it rained a few days ago, and the water hasn't landed on the ground. It stands to reason that the water should be clean. I wonder if you can agree with it?" Zhang Xianyong He said it confidently, with an expression on his face that looked like a master of Taoism.

Zhang Xianyong performed to his heart's content.Yang Reform stood aside and didn't interrupt, but felt that Zhang Xianyong was a bit wordy, and Yang Reform was not in a good mood.

Everyone looked at the small bowl of water in Zhang Xianyong's hand. The water was indeed clean and transparent, and there was nothing unusual. They began to hold their breath and listened carefully to Zhang Xianyong's words. Today's encounter was really bizarre.

"...Everyone, please look, this bowl is cold water that has just been boiled..." Zhang Xianyong said again, taking out a vessel made of glass and said.

Everyone stared again.

After Zhang Xianyong finished speaking, he picked up the glass vessel and drank water.Everyone is puzzled.

"My lords, do you know why Pindao drank this bowl of water and not that one?" Zhang Xianyong said rather mysteriously.

Everyone shook their heads.

"Everyone, please take a look..." Zhang Xianyong said confidently, and opened another small door.

As soon as the small door was pushed open, utensils came.This is a simple "laboratory" where several microscopes are placed.

"What is this?" someone asked.

"This object is a microscope. Through this object, we can see the world in the water. The Buddha said that there are a hundred thousand living beings in a bowl of water, but the Buddha can only say so, and it cannot be seen by people. Now, Thanks to His Majesty's blessings, even ordinary people can see this world that only those with great powers can know..." Zhang Xianyong said with a look of a magic stick.

These words immediately frightened this group of bigwigs from the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Xianyong talked about a Buddha and shut up about a Buddha. It seems that he has some real skills. Ordinary people can know the world that only a Buddha can know. That is indeed true. An amazing feat.

"Master Zhang, is this telling the truth?" Some people asked in disbelief. In their eyes, Zhang Xianyong was just a braggart. It must be known that Confucianism has always respected ghosts and gods and kept a distance, so they didn't really believe it.It would be amazing if Zhang Xianyong really had this ability.

"You don't have to doubt, this is the truth, and it's true. I called you here today to see this world that only Buddhas can see..." Yang Reform interjected, and Yang Reform was depressed. Some didn't want to pretend to be mysterious, and decided to popularize scientific knowledge directly to these people.

Everyone was surprised, they didn't believe Zhang Xianyong's words, but they had to believe the emperor's words, and looked at the emperor in shock.

"Realist Zhang should hurry up and show you the world. Seeing is believing, and everything else is false." Seeing Zhang Xianyong showing off, Yang Reform didn't have much intention to let Zhang Xianyong keep showing off, and urged Zhang Xianyong to do experiments quickly.

"The minister leads the decree!" Zhang Xianyong immediately replied respectfully.

Soon, under the greeting of Zhang Xianyong, a disciple dressed as a Taoist came, and after seeing the ceremony, they all went to operate the microscopes.

After working for a while, Zhang Xianyong checked again, and came to report after confirming: "My Majesty, everything is ready."

"Okay!" Yang Reform responded, and walked over in person. The world seen through the microscope and the world seen with the naked eye are completely two worlds. There are all kinds of things in this water, which are completely different from the clarity and cleanness seen by the naked eye.

"Okay, let's all take a look." Yang Reform felt as if he was back in a biology class in junior high school, where a group of students were looking at a microscope.

All the ministers came to watch nervously and surprised. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it. When they saw it, some people exclaimed.

"Ah!..." Apparently, some people were quite surprised. There are so many things in the world in this drop of water. A world of countless monsters.

This is actually just a bowl of water specially made by Zhang Xianyong. Although it is called rootless water, it is indeed water from the sky and has never fallen to the ground. Although it looks clear, it is actually "rich in nutrients", so under the microscope, many things can be seen.
