After Mr. Zhu had closed his mouth, silence fell upon the throne above, as if pages were being slowly turned.
Then came the sound of volume-closure, its faint voice penetrating the court, "I had read the theory of Two Heavens some time ago, and today, listening to Minister Zhu's detailed explanation, I recognized many profound and novel aspects that I had never understood before. However, nowhere in it did he mention empirical proof; it should not be an oversight of mine."
Mr. Zhu stepped back from the desk and bowed, "As I told you three days ago, today I shall demonstrate with ice water."
In fact, this was no longer a secret, although it had not spread throughout Shengjing, it was already known among the ministers, and the idea that the theory of Two Heavens would be proven through the ice of the pond left countless listeners bewildered and astounded.
However, now in the presence of the Saint, it seemed not improper at all.
