Chapter 232 Hanlin waiting for edict

Ganqing Palace, Donghunting Pavilion.

Emperor Longqing looked at Zhao Hao's demonstration and asked in disbelief: "Do you say that Venus conjunction will occur every month?"

"No," Zhao Hao nodded and said, "This is a very common astronomical phenomenon. As long as the moon catches up with Venus, a Venus conjunction will occur once."

"But in fact, it's not often seen?" Emperor Longqing said in confusion.

"There are two reasons. One is that Venus and the Sun are sometimes very close. Because of the strong sunlight, we cannot see Venus. The other is that Venus's conjunction with the moon usually occurs when it is just dark, but at this time the position of the moon and Venus is close to the horizon and is easily blocked by mountains and city walls. Therefore, with the naked eye, it may not be observed once a year." Zhao Hao explained without hesitation.

"The naked eye?" Long Qing couldn't help but wonder: "Is there still eye that is not flesh?"

"That's a telescope." Zhao Hao said lightly: "If Your Majesty uses a telescope to look at the night sky, you can often see this astronomical phenomenon."

After a pause, Zhao Hao added with a smile: "And you will also find that Venus is like the moon, and will have phases and waxing."

"Oh, is that right? Why didn't I think about looking at the sky with a telescope!" Long Qing couldn't help but be surprised.

To be honest, he struggled to listen to the truth about Zhao Hao and didn't understand it.

But it is much easier to observe with your eyes, so you can just put on a telescope to see.

"But Your Majesty's binoculars are not specifically used to see the sky." Zhao Hao said again: "Caomin brought a special astronomical telescope today to His Majesty to see the sky."

After getting permission from Emperor Longqing, Eunuch Chi and Teng Xiang came in with a long binocular telescope with a beautiful tripod.

This is a Kepler telescope carefully improved by the high blacksmith according to the schematic diagram drawn by Zhao Hao before leaving Nanjing.

In addition, it has a built-in steering prism, and the magnification coefficient can reach 40 times. It is more than enough to observe the stars in the solar system.

Emperor Longqing couldn't put it down and the astronomical telescope, which was like an artwork, suddenly said to Zhao Hao: "Do you dare to talk about these things publicly at the lecture?"

"Why don't you dare?" Zhao Hao said proudly: "Since Caomin dares to tell him to His Majesty, he will naturally not be afraid to tell him to the people of the world."

"Okay, the spirit is commendable!" Emperor Longqing couldn't help but praise: "When the ceremony was held in the next day, you can explain science to me and the families of all the ministers!"

"Abide by the order!" Zhao Hao hurriedly responded respectfully.

Teng Xiang was so angry that he thought to himself that His Majesty was really persistent, so he hurriedly reminded him: "Long live, the lecturers of the imperial lectures will be filled with Hanlin..."

"Then give him a Hanlin." Emperor Longqing had already made a plan and ordered Teng Xiang to say, "You draw a decree for me - to remember Zhao Hao's profound knowledge and five Jinshi in one subject, which is really a unique talent. He is characterized by a Hanlin attendant and serves as a lecturer at the imperial court."

The emperor said with a smile: "You go to the cabinet later and tell Mr. Xu about my decision."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Seeing that the emperor had made up his mind, Teng Xiang had no choice but to respond and said to Zhao Hao: "Just Zhao, why don't you thank me quickly."

"My memory, Zhao Hao, thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Zhao Hao kowtowed happily and thanked him.

Unexpectedly, I came to the palace to save my father and even got an official position. I would not lose if my head was broken.

Then he raised his head and sincerely offered his first rainbow fart in this life.

Emperor Longqing was stunned when he heard this, and finally understood who did Wang Wuyang and the others learn from.

While feeling more comfortable, Emperor Longqing asked with a smile: "Do you need to make some preparations in advance during the imperial lecture? Just tell me."

"If you want teaching aids, I will prepare them yourself, and your Majesty doesn't need to worry about you." Zhao Hao whispered: "If you can start speaking in the evening, you can join the observation stage, so that you can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"Yes." Emperor Longqing nodded and agreed.

Wenyuan Pavilion.

After listening to Teng Xiang's oral orders from His Majesty, Master Xu nodded and said that he would make arrangements.

The little pawns on the side frowned when they heard this. As soon as Teng Xiang left, he couldn't help but whisper: "Father, how could you agree to give that kid an official?!"

"What is a mere Hanlin attendant?" Xu Ge Lao sat back on the chair and coughed lightly, "What's more, he is not a serious official position, he can be a writer and painter. I also object to this little thing? It's too expensive."

The so-called Hanlin Attendant is a relatively special official position in the Hanlin Academy. It is specially designed for "the world's skill and skill to meet the callers".

People of all kinds of literature, classics, monks and Taoists, calligraphy, painting, piano, chess, yin and yang, etc., were given their expertise in waiting for the summoning of the monarch and were appointed as the "Hanlin Attendant".

Zhao Hao is naturally good at science, so Emperor Longqing granted him this official position, which is very appropriate and unquestionable.

"But no matter whether it is a big or a small official, he is qualified to give lectures at the lecture!" The little pawn said anxiously: "Father, we have already let him smash the scene twice..."

"That's why I have to find this place!" Xu Jie suddenly opened his eyes and said with a sharp look:

"The last two times, he was a shameless attack while I was unprepared! I had to act with my own identity and could only do whatever he wanted. But this time there were two days left, which was enough for me to make perfect preparations to defeat him head-on in the lecture, and sweep him and his science into the garbage dump!"

"Yes, father." The little master couldn't help but be secretly frightened. Since he drove Gao Xinzheng back to his hometown, he had not seen his father be so serious.

Even when he drove Guo Pu down, his father was calm and calm, so he sent a Grand Secretary to accompany Gao Gong.

"What's more, it's useless for me not to agree." Xu Jie said as he said depressedly: "As long as His Majesty has this idea, he will come to the stage sooner or later. It's better to strangle him to death on the podium while I'm still in office."

"That's right." Xu Fan nodded, thinking that two years have passed, enough to strangle the boy named Zhao several times.

"Tomorrow you call the Imperial Heaven Supervisor," he heard his father whispering: "Look at the time of the speech, I am afraid I will talk about astronomy at that time."

Xu Fan nodded and said he knew.

After coming out of the palace, Zhao Hao and the eldest princess separated.

He was going to the Ministry of Justice Street to wait for his father to come out, and of course the eldest princess wanted to go there too.

But she had already found the emperor for Zhao Shouzheng today. If she went to follow him, wouldn’t she deliberately make people think about it?

Alas, underground couples should avoid suspicion.

While waiting at the gate of the Censorate, Zhao Hao was so happy that he couldn't stop talking.

Although Mr. Zhao had no intention of engaging in the officialdom himself... that would be too hard. He was choked with chores every day and had so many rules. He had to come and see him off. He could not relax at all. How could he feel comfortable as a second-generation official?

But thinking about Liu Yuanwai, Zhang Yuanwai is still fat man Tang, and you know that if you want to live a comfortable life, you should have a tough official position.

Only when you are also a decree of the imperial court can you truly be qualified to interact with officials equally.

Zhao Hao originally planned to wait for the next time that the court would sell his official positions again... Oh no, when he received the donation, he would give a set of official positions and sue the crown and bring it back.

But the donated officials are so undecent, so how can the emperor directly reward you to be glorious?

Zhao Shizhen, who was watching the side, couldn't help but wonder that his uncle was also an official fan, so why didn't he take the exam by himself?

Of course, he would never dare to ask for this.
