Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2516 Future Technologies
Before Fang Jun could reply, Chu Suiliang on the side couldn't wait to say: "Your Majesty, Fang Shaobao had named this machine a 'steam engine' before, but I think it is too mediocre. This machine is so ingenious that it can Driving the power of the five elements is actually Haotian's reward to His Majesty for his martial arts virtues, how can he be so perfunctory? Therefore, please give him a name from His Majesty to show the magnificence of Haotian!"

This is what it says...

Everyone present shook their heads.

People have realms, and these people in front of them are all people who have reached perfection in various fields. When they reach such a realm, ordinary secular power may still be attractive to them, but their words and deeds will naturally rise to a kind of With a transcendent level, such vulgar things as flattery, flattery, and black hats have long been unbearable.

Chu Suiliang's behavior of stepping down on his colleagues and slandering his superiors expressed their contempt.

Others may still have some leeway, but Yuan Tiangang didn't care about his shame, and immediately scolded: "The desire for profit, the slander, how can such shameless people be with the poor? Hurry up, don't let the old man see angry."

His identity is the leader of the Taoist sect. Although he has no real job, he has a great reputation.

Even the current royal family of Li and Tang also claim to be descendants of Lao Tzu, which shows how lofty the political status of the Taoist sect is, and as the leader of the Taoist sect, Yuan Tiangang's status can be imagined.

Chu Suiliang's face turned pale in an instant, his eyes were tearing apart with anger, but he dared not speak out.

Many court ministers were surrounded nearby, and Yuan Tiangang's reprimand was heard verbatim, which made Chu Suiliang, who had always prided himself on being noble and regarded himself as a master of literature, ashamed and indignant.He has been serving His Majesty Li Er all these years, always by his side, and even helping His Majesty Li Er to review memorials and retrieve historical documents from time to time. How much have you suffered, and when have you ever suffered such humiliation?
However, when he saw the expressions of Kong Yingda, Li Chunfeng, Fang Jun and others who were quite agreeable, and His Majesty Li Er, who thought he could speak out to relieve his embarrassment, kept silent, and even looked extremely worried, his heart suddenly jumped. .

He finally realized that whether in public or private, his status was more than one point lower than those in front of him.These people either became the pillars of the imperial court by virtue of their meritorious deeds, or gained a prominent position by virtue of the huge power behind them, but besides writing and reading, how can they have meritorious deeds?
To put it bluntly, my self-righteous support is completely rootless and basically useless...

It's just that what he can't understand is that I'm targeting Fang Jun, why are you old bastards jumping out all by yourself?
His Majesty Li Er was upset, annoyed that Chu Suiliang didn't care about the occasion and acted like this, but after all, he was the one he picked up with his own hands. If he lost face in front of so many people, even he, the emperor, would lose face , I had no choice but to suppress my anger in my heart, and said, "Steam engine? Could it be that the name comes from the characteristics of this machine?"

Fang Jun said: "It's difficult to explain the principle of it for a while, please wait and see, Your Majesty, as long as you have seen its working method, you can get a glimpse of the whole leopard."

I want to tell you about the principle of converting steam into power, but I'm afraid you won't be able to understand it at this level...

Xu Jingzong who was at the side rushed forward in two steps: "Your Majesty, please let me show you!"

While talking, he sneaked a glance at Fang Jun. After all, Chu Suiliang was very disgusted by this guy just now.

However, it was precisely because Chu Suiliang was so badly insulted just now and lost face in front of His Majesty that he wanted to jump out and take the opportunity to gain favor.

If Fang Jun could tolerate his asking for credit, in the eyes of the emperor, he might think that he was more popular and easier to be recognized by his colleagues.

When an official has been promoted to a certain level, has power in his hands and is capable of promoting the court, then whether he can get along with his colleagues in harmony becomes an indicator of whether he can better complete the tasks entrusted by the emperor. "Although he is more loved by the emperor, it also means that he is hindered everywhere in doing things.

Having no friends or party doesn't mean that you don't even have an ally, and how can you become a qualified minister without the help of your colleagues?

Fang Jun naturally felt the connotation of Xu Jingzong's glance, pondered for a while, and decided to help him.

In his view, Chu Suiliang and Xu Jingzong are two completely different people.

Chu Suiliang has literary talents, and has always regarded himself as a literati, not to mention his ability for the time being, but he has always regarded those literary and elegant generals and officials in history as idols. Since he has chosen the Guanlong nobles to take refuge in, he will cling to the past with all his heart. Do your best to contribute to the interests of the Guanlong nobles.

But Xu Jingzong is different, this person is greedy and shameless, and his position is not firm. It can be said that "the mother who has milk is the mother". Whoever can give trust, give reuse, and give power is whose horse, even if this person may only be a member of the harem. Female stream, even if it is possible to bear the whole body of infamy, he does not hesitate.

He is too slick, so that although he has outstanding talents, it is almost impossible to achieve great achievements. He can only add to the icing on the cake along the way.

However, Chu Suiliang seems to be lacking in ability, but he is firm in will, but he is very likely to become a key figure in the situation, and may even turn defeat into victory for the Guanlong nobles and revive them.

Comparing the two, it is natural that Chu Suiliang is more threatening.

It is entirely feasible to support Xu Jingzong, a grasshopper, and use it to suppress Chu Suiliang. After all, in the current situation, even if the Guanlong nobles try their best to buy it, it is absolutely impossible for Xu Jingzong to go against the trend and take refuge in the past.

If one day the Guanlong nobles really reversed the situation and gained the upper hand, even if Xu Jingzong took refuge in the past, what would be the use?
Such weak-minded and stalking people can only become swords in the hands of those in power, using them to kill dissidents, and then bear infamy. They will never become the mainstay and influence the court.

Thinking in his heart, Fang Jun kept silent and lowered his eyes slightly.

Seeing Fang Jun acquiescing, Xu Jingzong let out a long breath from the bottom of his heart.It seems that since I came to the academy, I have hugged Fang Jun's thigh tightly. This decision is still effective. Although Fang Jun has not shown much intimacy and reuse at ordinary times, but if he doesn't jump out to disrupt the situation at this time, That is solid support.

The rumors are indeed true, Fang Erlang never treats his subordinates badly, even if it is just a person who is not close to him like himself.

For that one hundred guan, wait a few days to get better...

What kind of person is His Majesty Li Er?He has already mastered the tricks and penetrated to the bone, but just by observing the words and expressions, he has an insight into the inner activities of the two.

Not only did he secretly sigh in his heart, it seemed that Chu Suiliang would have to change another yamen later, otherwise if he continued to stay in the academy, he would have to be played to death by these two people someday if he didn't make sure.

Fang Jun is bold and never afraid of getting into trouble, Xu Jingzong is cunning, insidious and full of tricks, Chu Suiliang has been hiding in the academy these days, and I don't know how much he has suffered...

Although he didn't like Xu Jingzong, but since Fang Jun acquiesced, there was no need to refute Xu Jingzong's face, nodded slightly, and said: "Then show me how amazing this thing is, it can drive the five elements Power!"

"Here!"

Xu Jingzong was very excited, turned around and came to the steam engine, and gave a series of instructions excitedly.

The person in charge of operating the steam engine is the craftsman in the foundry bureau who is responsible for developing this machine. Hearing this, he was also very excited, and immediately started a fire and added coal.

After a while, the fire in the boiler was raging, and the cold water in the connected water tank gradually heated up. Because it was well sealed, it made a burst of sound.

Fang Jun quickly asked for instructions, and asked His Majesty Li Er to push back, and asked the guards to stand in front.

This boiler is the most difficult part in the design and manufacture of the Zhengtai steam engine. Because there is no alloy, the hardness and thickness of the fine steel are not easy to control. From time to time, the chamber explodes during the experiment. It was far from the level of later generations, but it was still astonishingly powerful when it exploded. Although Fang Jun repeatedly asked to ensure the safety of the experiment, it still caused the death of dozens of craftsmen successively.

What if it is blown up now, a piece of boiler fragments splashed on His Majesty Li Er by coincidence...

Fang Jun estimated that it would be the greatest tragedy ever caused by a traverser.

Everyone was staring at the steam engine, watching the fire raging in the boiler, the water in the water tank was gradually boiling, and a trace of steam overflowed from the insufficiently sealed place, like a monster from ancient times, which was about to be revealed in the next moment. Open the veil, revealing the brutal power, devouring the world!
