Big Ear Thief Selling Straw Sandals

Chapter 259 Three Experimental Experts

Through the murder of the emperor's biological mother, the Queen Mother He's intention to suppress the eunuch group was undoubtedly revealed.

Seeing Zhang Rang and Zuo Feng singing the double act again, how could the remaining Qichang servants not understand that the situation was over?

The power of the eunuchs came from the emperor. During Liu Hong's reign, he indulged in debauchery all day long and arbitrarily handed over power to the ten permanent servants, which led to the expansion of the eunuch group's strength.

No matter how much his relatives and the civil service group tried to dissuade and oppose the eunuchs taking power, Liu Hong, who just wanted to have fun, would never take a knife to himself.

When Liu Hong died, the eunuch group, his relatives and the civil servant group fought fiercely, but Liu Bei was able to hold him down.

However, these three families, regardless of life or death, actually wanted to retaliate against Yongzhou. Naturally, Uncle Liu Huang would not tolerate these fools.

Dong Zhuo launched a brazen coup and almost swept away the eastern capital. Eunuchs, relatives and civil servants were all knocked to the ground.

At this time, the government and the opposition suddenly realized that the past years were quiet and peaceful, and it was someone who was carrying the burden for them to move forward.

Therefore, when Liu Bei showed respect for Queen Mother He, everyone recognized him.

The first to be affected was the eunuch group.

The Queen Mother was in charge of the government and did not have fun or do anything random, so the eunuchs became just decorations.

Once they lost power, they would naturally lose their interests. In addition, Dong Zhuo forced him too hard, and there were not many eunuchs left.

Bustling and bustling, with benefits coming and going, the good days of the eunuch group are over.

In particular, Xia Yun's fate made all the regular servants nervous.

If you want to stand out in the palace, no one will be clean. If you offend the Queen Mother, I will investigate you and everything will be over.

As a result, the older generation of eunuchs gradually handed over their power to the younger generation, and they retreated to the second line and hunkered down.

Because Zhao Zhong was disabled in both hands and feet and could only rest in bed, he decisively transferred his connections to his godson Han Li.

Duan Gui's godson Gao Wang was originally in charge of the imperial village. At this time, relying on his qualifications and money, he squeezed into the top three eunuchs.

The power of the three eunuchs was greatly reduced compared to their predecessors, and their posture was much lower-key. This move attracted praise from both the government and the public.

The relatives are headed by He Jin, but they are in confinement and rarely receive guests. There are only a few horses and horses in front of the door.

Liu Bian's father-in-law, Tang Mao, lives in Kuaiji. His character is more like a philistine and he cannot become a great person.

Liu Xie's father-in-law, Fu Wan, came from a family of officials. He married Liu Hua, the eldest daughter of Emperor Heng of the Han Dynasty, and had six sons and one daughter. He had no ambitions.

As for the Dong family on the Empress Dowager's side, they would never dare to jump out and stab them while Empress Dowager He was in power.

In this way, the three major political forces will be eliminated.

The current imperial court is roughly divided into the Taishi Department, the Taifu Department, and the relatively independent military department.

The Grand Master is recuperating from his illness, the Grand Tutor is modest and low-key, the military is headed by two veteran generals Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, the Public Security Bureau is under the control of Sun Xia, and the soldiers and ruffians at all levels have become well-behaved.

As the year draws to a close, the political circle of Dongdu has entered an extremely rare period of peace.

Stimulated by this good news, the trading volume of the Los Angeles Stock Exchange has increased day by day, and bonds and stocks have once again become one of the hot topics after dinner.

To the west of the city, there is Qugu Tower.

A group of well-dressed men in front of the door looked at the plaque and then at the jade-faced young man who was traveling with them, and were delighted.

The waiter from the restaurant came forward and boasted about his drinks, food, singers and dancers.

Zang Ba asked deliberately: "Waiter, why is the sign of your restaurant called Qu Gu Lou?"

The waiter immediately regained his energy and immediately pointed to the signboard and said: "Dear guests, when it comes to our signboard, we are very particular!"

Sun Guan turned into a compliment and asked: "Oh, tell me quickly, that's good, I'll have two tables at your house today!"

"You should have heard of the great Han Dynasty Liu Huangshu and Jiangdong Sun Menghu, right?"

Everyone looked at each other and smiled. The emperor's uncle could not come with his wife and children, but the tiger was right in front of him.

Zang Ba raised his eyebrows and asked deliberately: "These two have indeed heard some rumors, what's the matter? Could it be related to your brand?" "Hey, this guest officer guessed it right! Speaking of which...Bara Bala... Isn't it surprising that the violinist only played one wrong note, but Koto Mishuro actually looked back, and Liu Huangshu exclaimed, "The song is wrong, Zhouro paid attention", which attracted applause from the audience and even led to a great article. !”

Sun Guan didn't understand "Young China Theory", and the waiter was so ecstatic about it that he still didn't get enough of it. He couldn't help but ask: "What is the best article of all time?"

"Come, come, distinguished guests, please follow me into the store and read this magnificent article!"

Although everyone understands that this is a way for the store to attract customers, but where to eat is not eating?
Sun Jian took Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Xiao Jiang, Zang Ba, Sun Guan and others into Qugu Tower with laughter.

Sun Ce smiled at Zhou Yu and said, "Gong Jin, you should ask this store to collect the copyright fees. You can get a hundred or ten taels of silver at least a year."

Everyone entered the store, and on the white wall in front, "Young China" written by Liu Bei was written in flying colors. It looked really impressive.

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "If the imperial uncle collects copyright fees, it will be a thousand or eight hundred taels at least!"

Listening to the waiter reading the entire chapter in a cadence, Sun Jian waved his hand and said boldly: "For two banquets of food and drinks, only the one who is good at it will be served!"

The waiter was overjoyed, he had met a rich man!
"Two tables, please invite your distinguished guest upstairs!"

At this time, Zhou Yu asked Sun Ce a question.

"I heard that the eldest daughter of the Cao family has joined the imperial uncle's family. What do you think?"

Sun Ce shook his head and sighed: "Uncle, you can't figure it out, so don't count on me!"

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Since the emperor's uncle maintains his identity as a Han minister and the Cao family has already cast stones, why don't your family ask for directions?"

Sun Jian turned to look at Zhou Yu and said, "Gong Jin wants to join the Liu family?"

"That's not the case." Zhou Yu was very conceited. He could study the textbooks and magazines of Yongzhou Public School by himself, and he did not need to study off-duty for the time being.

"Zhong Mou has a stable temperament. It would be a good idea to find a famous teacher as soon as possible."

Hey, Sun Jian's eyes lit up.

Yes, he must swallow up the entire Jiangdong, not just Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

The second son, Sun Quan, will soon be nine years old, and he is indeed old enough to go to school. Building connections with Liu Bei will be beneficial in every way.

Just do it!

Without further ado, he immediately ordered his soldiers to return to Wu Commandery as soon as possible and send Sun Quan to Wuji.

At the same time, he wrote a polite letter of greetings to Liu Bei, and at the end he mentioned, Brother Xuande has to teach the dog!
When the card partner was racking his brains to scheme against the emperor's uncle, just as Zhou Yu thought, Liu Bei accompanied his wife and children while explaining the basic knowledge to Cao Wan and Gao Zheng Gao Miaoniang.

"Teacher, how is it possible that the earth is round? If it is so, wouldn't the people at the bottom fall down?"

Liu Bei smiled and asked instead: "When you come across the sea and use your telescope to observe the ships in the distance, is the mast the first thing you see?"

There were not many opportunities to conquer Gao Miao Niang, but Cao Wan knew it very well, especially when Gan Ning took her to climb the mast, he had indeed seen the ships in the distance, and the mast always appeared first.

"Teacher, you mean that seeing the mast proves that the earth is round?" The direction and length of the shadow here are completely different from those in Lin Yi. "

The three new disciples all understood this deeply and could only nod.

"So, as long as you know the difference in shadows of the same object in different places, you can get the shape of the earth. This can be verified through experiments."

So, the three friends enthusiastically weaved a huge takraw ball, which was more than a foot high.

However, Gao Zheng still couldn't figure it out.

"Even if what my teacher said is right, what about the people under the big ball? Also, wouldn't the sea water be splashed out? It's unreasonable, and it absolutely can't be true!"

But Gao Miaoniang said: "I think my teacher knows everything, but he is unwilling to tell us directly because he wants us to verify it ourselves."

Cao Wan nodded and added: "As long as it can withstand verification, it is true."

From then on, the three experimental experts used the Zhen Family Villa as a scientific laboratory.
