Please ask me to be the emperor

It is said that Zhang Shun became increasingly displeased with the missionary since he knew the truth and falsehood of the missionary.

He couldn't help but invite Wei Wenkui to the palace again and again to discuss matters of astronomy and calendar, but instead ignored the missionaries and others.

The people of Long Hua couldn't help but feel anxious, and quickly summoned Wang Zheng to discuss with him.

When Wang Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Your Majesty does not want Li Tianjing to recite it, but wants to use it as a missionary."

"You and I are not as good as they are. If you say too much, you will be wrong, and you may be suspicious!"

"In my opinion, no one but Galileo would be even half as good as him!"

"This" Long Huamin hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded helplessly and said, "Then the only way is to invite Galileo!"

It turns out that among the many priests, Xu Guangqi was the leader of the astronomical calendar.

Since Xu Guangqi's death, Li Tianjing has been the leader, and Li Tianjing is the key figure in charge of the "Western Bureau" in place of Xu Guangqi.

Everyone thought they could fool Zhang Shun with this, but they never expected that Zhang Shun actually asked the missionaries to go into battle in person.

In fact, among the many missionaries who came to China, Matteo Ricci had the highest level of science and culture. It was precisely because of this that he deceived the "Far West" beyond the Ming Dynasty into being extremely developed.

However, after Matteo Ricci's death, his successors, Jin Nige and Long Huamin, knew nothing about it.

Today, Tang Ruowang has the highest level. However, as a compiler of the "Chongzhen Almanac", Tang Ruowang's level has not yet reached the level of later generations, so it is difficult to compare with Li Tianjing.

If the "new emperor" discovers that the missionaries' calendar skills are not as good as those of the Chinese, then the lie may be exposed.

In desperation, the missionaries had no choice but to sacrifice Galileo.

"Okay!" Long Huamin hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded helplessly.

It turned out that this group of missionaries came from the well-organized Society of Jesus.

When they learned that Zhang Shunfei wanted to see Galileo, they thought of a plan to hide it from the outside world.

That is to say, choose a devout missionary, change his name to Galileo, and then learn some corresponding scientific knowledge first, and then come over to fool Zhang Shun.

But they never expected that Zhang Shun would suddenly "favor" Wei Wenkui, who was extremely disgusted with missionaries, so they had to change his mind and invite the real Galileo to come and compete.

But neither Long Huamin nor Wang Zheng thought of it.

The Holy See had long been displeased with Galileo. Suddenly it heard that someone in the "Far East" was "asking for it" and had already sent him on a ship.

Not to mention how the missionaries and others cared about it, after Zhang Shun confirmed Wei Wenkui's position, he couldn't help but discuss the "heliocentric theory" with him.

Originally, the two people except Zhang Shun had the same views and hit it off immediately.

But he never expected that although Wei Wenkui insisted on the "heliocentric theory", he stubbornly believed that the "travel" of the planets revolving around the sun was a perfect circle.

Zhang Shun did not. He insisted that the planet's "path" was oval, and the two could not agree with each other.

Wei Wenkui couldn't help but said angrily: "The movement of the stars and the moon is all connected by the energy of the sun. Since it is connected by the energy of the sun, it is naturally like a compass making a circle, without any flaws!"

Zhang Shun was also very angry when he heard this. Although he didn't know the principle, he remembered that it was taught in the textbook in his previous life: "Although the clouds and Qi are connected, the power may be large or small, but it is just like a perfect circle!"

The two argued for a long time, but neither could convince the other.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but suggest: "In that case, why not take the observation data from the Qin Tianjian and calculate it!"

Didn't you say it's a perfect circle? Then as long as we take out the observation data and make inferences, we will definitely be able to deduce the differences.

"I can't believe the data observed by the Qintian Supervisor. Please give me a pair of Eastern Bureau astronomical telescopes for observation!" Wei Wenkui did not give in when he heard this, but made a bold request.

"Oh, wait a minute, that one is not accurate enough. I can order people to make two pairs of telescopes with higher accuracy!" Zhang Shungang was about to agree, but suddenly remembered someone and quickly changed his words.

It turns out that this person is none other than Bo Jue, who invented the "Kepler telescope".

Although this "Kepler-type telescope" presents an inverted image, the observation distance is farther, and the hairspring can be carved on the mirror surface, which is suitable for astronomical observations.

In fact, not to mention this era, even in later generations, "Kepler telescopes" are also commonly used astronomical telescopes.

Bo Jue, who was far away in Hangzhou, was naturally brought back since he was captured by Zhang Shun last time.

Hearing that Zhang Shun wanted to make a "Wanli Mirror", he quickly presented the original pair of "Wanli Mirror" and applied for crystal, copper and other materials for grinding.

While Bo Jue was in full swing making the "Astronomical Telescope", Zhang Shun finally took some time off and focused on the war in the south.

In just a few months, Hong Chengchou and Cao Bianjiao finally worked together to break through Runing and defeated the remnants of the "King of Zhou Clan" entrenched there.

Wu Di, together with the King of Zhou and others, fled south in a hurry and went to Huguang to seek refuge with "Tang Wang Zhu Yujian".

At this moment, Zhennan Gong Xiao Qinhu was in the north, Hong Chengchou and Cao Bianjiao were in the northeast, and Li Zicheng's army stationed in the south of the Yangtze River had also marched to Jiangxi and surrounded the "Tang Dynasty" troops from three sides. A war was about to break out. .

However, just as Zhang Shun was busy handling related military affairs, Gao Qiqian suddenly walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, Galileo from the Far West has arrived. I wonder if your Majesty has seen him or not?"

"What?" Zhang Shun didn't hear clearly for a moment, couldn't help but raised his head, rubbed his sore eyes and asked.

"Galileo from the Far West is here with his daughter!" Gao Qiqian quickly repeated.

"Oh? Please come quickly. No, I will come to greet you personally!" Zhang Shun was stunned for a moment, then said with great joy.

It turned out that Galileo arrived in Guangzhou just this summer, and then took a boat trip for two months before arriving in the capital.

When Zhang Shun walked out of the Qianqing Palace, he saw an old man wearing old clothes standing there somewhat tremblingly, supported by a Western woman and Long Huamin.

"Are you Galileo?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but took two steps forward and asked.

"Quick, kneel down!" Long Huamin kicked Galileo and quickly kowtowed to Zhang Shun.

"Oh, no need!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but smile and ordered while watching Long Huamin finish his salute and Galileo who was at a loss.

"Oh, dear Your Majesty, I'm so sorry, this Galileo is blind, so he can't bask in your glory!" Long Huamin was afraid that Galileo would offend Zhang Shun, so he quickly explained.

"When did it happen?" Zhang Shun was shocked when he heard this.

Based on his superficial knowledge of history, he never expected that Galileo would become blind.

"Just this year!" Long Huamin was silent for a moment and then said.

"However, he does not understand Chinese. If your Majesty needs anything, I will be happy to help you!"

"Easy to say, easy to say!" Zhang Shun nodded with satisfaction and said, "As long as people come, language is not a problem!"

While Zhang Shun and Long Huamin were talking, Galileo suddenly spoke and said a few words.

When Long Huamin heard this, he hesitated and asked: "He wants to ask Your Majesty, is he still going to be imprisoned after being exiled here?"

"No, there is no prison here." Zhang Shun replied with a smile, "And I believe that even if some people can imprison your body, they cannot imprison your soul!"

Thus, a sighted person saw the blind man for the first time.

However, history will eventually confront this "blind man" who is the most discerning person in the West in this era.

Later, both East and West praised his contribution to mankind.

There was even a good person who arranged a Peking Opera called "The Trial of Galileo in Three Halls" to describe the story of Galileo's arrival from the East.
