Deceiving Heaven?
I’m still Qi Tian, the Great Sage of Qi Tian.
Zhu Pingan coughed, arched his hand and bowed to the boss man next door, and innocently and helplessly returned, “Ahem, boss man you are joking, right, the kid’s body is thin, but he can’t afford to carry the name of deceiving the heavens.”
“Can’t afford it?!”
The boss man next door heard Zhu Pingan’s words, and got agitated again, grasping the fence to Zhu Pingan for a while blowing his moustache and glaring at him, “What, kid, you did it and still won’t admit it?!”
“Dare to ask the boss man, boy what have I done?!”
Zhu Pingan listened to the words of his old neighbour, very helpless and wronged, although he could not call himself a capable official, but how also with the “deception of the sky” big traitors can not be related to it.
“What have you done?”
The boss man heard, once again blowing his beard and eyes up, emotionally excited once slapped on the fence.
“You old man be gentle, don’t hurt yourself again.”Seeing this, Zhu Pingan could not help but worry about this grumpy old man.
“Hmph. Lian Po is still able to eat when he is old, and the old man is also old and strong.”
The old man stubbornly grunted, his mouth hardened, but his palms were behind his back, gently shaking them off.
“Your old man is old and strong at first glance.”
Zhu Pingan played on the traditional virtue of respecting the old and loving the young, smiled and praised, and did not see eye to eye with the stubborn old man. It was not easy for the old man to be locked up in this extremely poor conditioned imperial prison cell when he was so old.
“Complimentary words, coming out of your mouth, truly a horse’s arse.”
When the old man heard Zhu Pingan’s words, not only did he not ease his mood, but instead, his beard blew and he became even more energetic.
Eh.
This old man has deep preconceptions about himself.
Hearing the old man’s personal attack, Zhu Pingan could not help but take a deep breath, reached out and rubbed his brain, looked at the old man with a helpless face, and arched his hand, “Kid is foolish and rude, I really don’t know what I’ve done wrong, so please ask the boss man to be generous with his advice.”
“I don’t know what I did wrong?”The old man sniffed, his temper got the better of him, and he once again emotionally slapped the fence.
“I still ask the boss man to enlighten me, the kid is all ears.”Zhu Pingan bowed and said in a serious manner, “If the kid is indeed wrong, he will never evade his responsibility.”
Zhu Pingan’s attitude made the old man slightly satisfied for a few moments, and with a nasal hum, he nodded his head, “Good, the old man will speak with you to understand.”
“Last month, there was an eclipse of the sun. This is a sign from heaven to show the Son of Heaven. What also? The Son of Heaven has done something wrong to the point of sensing the Heavens, the Heavens have therefore revealed the vision of a solar eclipse in order to warn and condemn the Son of Heaven. At this time, it should be routine to save the rites, the son of heaven should be plain clothes fasting, depreciation of meals, abolition of music, retired from the main hall, in addition to cultivating morality, rectify the error, the hundred officials also. But when there is an eclipse of the sun, as a courtier, it is only natural that I should advise you to save the day.”Stubborn old man said is foaming at the mouth, said and couldn’t help but get excited, “But you? Your kid is a horse’s arse, even the subjects of the original point of disregard, just know patting the horse’s arse, what ‘your majesty to the father of the day, to the brother of the day, to the diligence of the government, to the love of the pastoral people, the internal cultivation of the bright, the country is strong and the people are rich, and the grace of the world. Therefore, the yin retreats, and all the elephants glow with splendour. The sun is crystal clear, the atmosphere of the old name is flickering, food stops one point, and not food. I am very pleased ……’I’m not happy about it, you’re not happy about it, my arse! You’re blind, the eclipse is on top of your head, so big, you can’t see ah? What ‘eclipse stops for a minute, and does not eat the same’, open eyes say blind, you kid this is deceiving who it, deceiving the sky ah you?!”
Er.
So this is the case.
Zhu Pingan suddenly realized and scratched his head, at this time he finally understood why his old neighbour blew his beard and glared as soon as he heard his name, and backhandedly gave himself a hat of “deceiving the sky”.
Insight determines height.
Zhu Pingan can also understand the old neighbour’s feelings.
In the feudal superstition of the Ming Dynasty, the ancients did not understand the scientific explanation of the solar eclipse, that the solar eclipse foretells “bad omen”, to “heaven and man in one” to explain the solar eclipse. The emperor is the son of heaven – the first son of heaven, heaven for the emperor’s father, he will be through the phenomenon of the surface of the sun to warn, alert his first son, such as you for the king is muddleheaded, you do what is wrong what things, you have recently been in danger to be more careful ah, etc. ……As a courtier, you have the duty to help the king to correct his mistakes and avoid dangers by rescuing the eclipse.
This was the kind of insight the old neighbour had, and the height of his understanding was naturally limited by this insight.
As a result, when the eclipse occurred, one’s own letter, “The eclipse stops at one point, the same as the non-eclipse, and I am not overjoyed”, naturally could not be accepted by the old neighbour.
Measured by the old neighbour’s standard of knowledge, he was a small, no, big traitor who had the guts to deceive the heavens.
How can I explain this to him? Popularise natural science to him? Come, come, boss you sit well, I give you popularise natural science, this solar and lunar eclipse ah, are light in the same kind of uniform medium along the straight line of propagation of the example, when the moon, yes, that is, the moon on top of our heads, when it moves to the middle of the sun and the earth, what, how does it move, if all three happen to be in a straight line, the moon will be blocked by the sun to the earth’s light, so that the moon’s shadow behind the blackfalls right on the Earth, and an eclipse is created.
Forget it. I don’t want to go to the gallows and the stake! Natural science is contrary to the common sense of the ancients, and in their eyes belongs to heresy! It’s not much different from the treatment of witchcraft and cults, which by all standards are subject to the gallows.
However, can not not explain, otherwise the top hat of the great treacherous minister of the deception of the heavens can not be taken off; and this old man is so old, still squatting in the Imperial Prison, to see their anger value straight up Biao, too dangerous; in addition, I guess that they may have to squat in this Imperial Prison for a period of time, the neighbourhood can be done well ah, the conditions of the Imperial Prison is so difficult, if every day by the old neighbours with a variety of blank stares,Despise and abuse, that squatting days in prison is not even more difficult.
“Ahem, boss man, the zhengshi you just mentioned did come from my hand, but there is a reason for it, please listen to my explanation.”Zhu Pingan coughed and bowed his hand to his neighbour’s boss man.
“Hmph, then I’ll listen to how you turn black and white upside down.”
The stubborn old man grunted, stroked his straggly beard and nodded, then found a dry place, rubbed over some hay with his feet, and sat down on his bum, looking almost like a melon eater.
Listen to how I invert black and white?
He has not explained himself, this boss man has already characterised himself ah. There is also this tone …… how to feel like squatting imperial prison squatting bored, listen to their own sophistry, relieve boredom, pass the time?
Zhu Pingan looked at the melon eating old man with a speechless face.
“Frozen dry what, start your inverted black and white ah.”The melon eating old man sitting on the ground urged.
