Great Song

At that moment, Han Miao only felt that he had heard wrongly.The ground is like a ball?Still turn?Can go around the sun?Then what is under his feet?What are the sun, moon and stars in the sky?

However, the face in front of him was solemn, and there was no sign of joking.His throat felt dry for a while, and it took Han Miao a long time to open his mouth and said, "Is this seen from the sky-gazing mirror?"

"It was taught by Ling Xiaozi's teacher." Su Song was not surprised by Han Miao's gaffe.In fact, those who can remain indifferent after hearing this are not qualified to sit in front of him at all.

"You actually believed it?" This was what shocked Han Miao the most.Zhen Qiong often speaks out surprises, and also comes up with some weird and shocking things.However, what he said is often well-founded, even if it looks strange, there is an inner reason.But how can there be any reason to say that the earth is round and the earth is moving? !Such foolish words, people like Su Song and Shen Kuo, who are good at astronomy, would actually believe it?

"Because what he saw in the sky mirror coincides with what he said. The theory of rotation and revolution can also explain some difficult problems that cannot be solved in the theory of Huntian." Now that he has spoken out, Su Song also No worries, said bluntly.

Han Miao stood up abruptly from his seat and took a step forward, as if he wanted to reprimand something, but stopped again.After walking back and forth twice, he stamped his feet, and said sharply: "This is dangerous, Qiong'er doesn't know, but brother Su doesn't know?!"

"Of course I know, and that's why I kept him silent." Su Song smiled wryly, "Actually, whether it's round or square doesn't matter to Ling Xiaozi. The one who really values ​​this is Shen Cunzhong... There are scumbags."

How could Su Song not know that Zhen Qiong didn't care about astronomy at all.It was also because of such a big thunderstorm that he casually said it.But Zhen Qiong didn't care, but Shen Kuo couldn't care less.This person is stubborn and has insights beyond the reach of ordinary people. No matter how incredible it is, it can't stop him from yearning for the truth.To be honest, even Su Song himself can't help but worry about this matter.The universe, after all, is what scholars want to explore, and the door is right in front of them, how can he turn a blind eye?

Han Miao's expression turned cold all of a sudden: "Could it be possible for the two of you to stand up for words?"

"Above all, there is morality, followed by meritorious service, and secondly, standing up for words. Although they will not be abandoned for a long time, these are the three immortals." This is a famous sentence in "Zuo Zhuan", and it is also the highest achievement that scholars have longed for for thousands of years.If he had the intention to do so, he would surely set off a storm in the world.Zhen Qiong, who is caught in it, and even the "Ri Xin Bao" will be involved in the turbulent waves.How could Han Miao agree!

Unexpectedly, Su Song shook his head: "This is a celestial phenomenon, not the scriptures. Cunzhong and I are not good at studying the scriptures, and have never thought about it. Besides, wouldn't it be absurd to use the 'earthquake theory' to make a statement?"

This statement is completely contrary to the classics and history for thousands of years.It's a blessing not to be eaten alive by scholars in the world, so what's the point of making a statement?

Hearing this, Han Miao relaxed slightly: "Those two, what do you think?"

"Take it slowly, it's best to find some obvious means to prove this matter." This is the way Su Song and Shen Kuo discussed to deal with it.After all, they didn't study this for fame.It's just that it's a matter of reason, and you can't pretend to be deaf and dumb.On a deeper level, if this matter is true, then the fallacies in the book should also be corrected in time.Astronomical astrology, to put it mildly, is related to the agricultural calendar.When it gets bigger, the prime minister can be deposed, and the emperor will sin against himself.How can we tolerate his mistakes again and again?

"This matter will definitely touch the 'Heaven-Man Sensitivity', isn't Brother Su afraid?" Han Miao asked again.

"Governing the country is not up to the sky, but down to the people." Su Song has a clear understanding of this.Floods and earthquakes, locust plagues and solar eclipses are all natural disasters, which cannot be eliminated by "virtue".Instead of worrying about losing morality, it is better to clean up the Changping warehouse and provide relief to the people.Just like when Zhenzong worshiped God to control locusts back then, more and more locusts worshiped.If Renzong gave food to kill locusts, the disaster of locusts would be eliminated.In the final analysis, it is nothing but man-made.

"Brother Zirong is open-minded, but it's a pity that not everyone in the world thinks this way. There are people who don't want to touch this ancestral law." Han Miao sighed.

Both of them knew why they were unwilling to waver. The greatest use of the "Heaven-Man Response" is to establish the rules and regulations, and then curb the imperial power.The authority of the son of heaven can only be granted by heaven.The scholar-officials can let the emperor know the political gains and losses through remonstrance, and then restrain and make corrections.

Don't say whether the loyal ministers are willing to give up the "relationship between heaven and man", even the emperor sitting on the throne may not want to lose this legitimate "legal system".Where did the Song Dynasty come from, but it can't be hidden from others.

There was another long silence, Su Song said: "I know it well."

Compared with Shen Kuo, Su Song's conduct in the world is indeed far superior.Even Han Miao himself dare not say that he can surpass him in politics.Now that you have understood the gains and losses, it is not something you can persuade yourself.

Tiredly pinching the bridge of his nose, Han Miao sat back on his seat, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "The government wants to implement a new law, and Wang Xueshi also has a great intention to destroy the old and establish a new one. Why don't you take advantage of it..."

"No!" Su Song didn't hear him finish, and interrupted Han Miao's words, "How can such a big matter fall into crony disputes?"

Reform is the time when party disputes are most likely to occur. If you cling to Wang Anshi, the "earthquake theory" will be labeled as a new law.At that time, domestic and foreign affairs will be difficult, and even the emperor will not see him, but he will pay for his life!

"Brother Zirong misunderstood." Han Miao's lips showed a little smile, "The boy said, it is better to take advantage of the implementation of the new law and the raging public opinion, to fish in troubled waters. The 'earthquake theory' has nothing to do with the new law. What's more, My "Ri Xin Bao" is not for the new law."

Su Song was startled when he heard this.Yes, although "Ri Xin Bao" focuses on promoting national debt and midwifery, and closely follows the footsteps of "Beijing News", these have nothing to do with Wang Anshi.National debt was initiated by Han Qi, and midwifery was the result of Baoying Temple.On the contrary, Wang Anshi's several proposals fell short due to various reasons.When the new law is actually promulgated, it is hard to say which side the "Ri Xin Bao" is on.

However, the issue of the national debt has made many officials in the court lose face, and it has made people wary of this tabloid that can incite the common people.In this way, neither side is dependent, and the position of "Ri Xin Bao" becomes more subtle.But it really caught the eyes of the emperor, whether it was Zhen Qiong or Han Miao, they were deeply appreciated by the emperor.In this way, wouldn't it become an outstanding existence?

The "earthquake theory" also has no position.In other words, its existence is enough to subvert all positions.If you plan it slowly according to the plan, and take advantage of the troubled waters to fish, maybe it will really work?In fact, as long as he can wake up the world, Su Song is already very satisfied.He is not a great Confucianist, nor does he master astronomy, so he doesn't care whether the "earthquake theory" can overthrow the "huntian theory".What he can learn, after all, he still wants to be an official.

After pondering for a moment, Su Song asked: "Is Jing Sheng planning to invoke Han Xianggong to return to the court?"

This is the confirmed position.If "Ri Xin Bao" is planning for Han Qi in the future, it is bound to change its position.That's when things get tricky.

Han Miao said frankly: "In the final analysis, "Ri Xin Bao" is just a tabloid. The people in Tokyo City are the parents of food and clothing. As long as it benefits the country and the people, what does it matter who is in charge?"

The answer is straightforward.But thinking about it, now that "Ri Xin Bao" no longer needs to be attached to Han Qi, it has become another way of speaking in the eyes of the emperor.Not to mention that there is Zhen Qiong, a high priest in the sky.If he guessed correctly, the emperor will reward the two soon.If you want to gain a foothold in the court, in the final analysis, the holy family is the most important.Staying out of the matter may not be a wise way to protect oneself.

Nodding slowly, Su Song said: "I will consider this matter."

With these words, Han Miao also heaved a sigh of relief.What he was most afraid of was that Shen Kuo and Su Song would ignore them and just throw out this breaking news.As long as there is room for negotiation, it's fine.

The two talked for a few more words, and agreed to ventilate in time if they found anything, before Han Miao got up to leave.After leaving the house, he didn't return home, so he ordered the coachman to change to Baoying Temple.

In fact, in the bottom of his heart, Han Miao still hoped that Zhen Qiong would stay away from this matter.No matter what it is for, it is not worth risking your life.

Along the way, Han Miao's heart sank heavily, and he kept thinking about how to persuade Qiong'er to let him give up getting involved in this matter.As soon as he walked to the door of the alchemy room, before he could take a step, he heard a hurried voice from inside: "No way! No way! I'm so angry that I'm going to run away, so I need to be quicker!"

The voice was hurried, but it was also full of vitality.Han Miao was startled, and pushed open the door.Hearing the sound, beside the stone platform, three heads were raised simultaneously.Two were exhausted, one was in good spirits.

"Huh? Brother Miao, why are you here?" Zhen Qiong asked in surprise.However, when he was asking questions, his hand was still firmly on the glass bottle, and he didn't intend to let it go at all.

Han Miao smiled: "I came by the way, just in time to pick you up."

Zhen Qiong blinked, hesitated and said: "I still need some time..."

"It's okay, I'll just wait." Han Miao smiled, found a seat in the distance, and sat down.

Zhen Qiong wasn't polite to him, and buried herself in the experiment again.While scolding the two apprentices, he fiddled with the bottles and scales.An hour passed in a blink of an eye, seeing the sun was setting to the west, and she could no longer see what was in her hand, Zhen Qiong couldn't help but shouted: "Qingfeng, go and light the lamp!"

As soon as the voice fell, the lights in the room came on.Startled, Zhen Qiong turned her head and remembered that there was someone else in the room: "Ah! Brother Miao, you are still here!"

"Are you done?" Han Miao asked with a smile.

Zhen Qiong looked at the utensils on the table reluctantly: "Okay, let's continue tomorrow..."

He said it reluctantly, but the two apprentices almost didn't cry, they all cast grateful glances at the master.

Han Miao paused, and asked seemingly casually, "Is this Qi refining interesting?"

He didn't even use words like "close tight", but directly used "interesting".However, Zhen Qiong didn't notice it at all, and nodded vigorously: "It's so interesting! Originally, I only wanted to blow the wind, but the vitality alone is obviously not enough! The purified gas seems to be very useful. It is to collect It’s troublesome to look at, and even more troublesome to measure, I’m afraid there are still many experiments to do!”

In those bright black eyes, there was light shining like stars.This "refinement of Qi" is really just to cooperate with Shen Kuo and others?I'm afraid not at all.What Zhen Qiong values ​​most is her own way of life.As long as it is beneficial to the avenue of good fortune, he can forget to sleep and eat, and never tire of it.

What is the use of those persuasion?

Han Miao smiled, and stepped forward to grab his hand: "It's not busy, it's all yours, and you can't escape. Can you have lunch at noon?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhen Qiong's face wrinkled, and she pressed her stomach: "I forgot. I'm so hungry!"

Seeing the surprise, Han Miao smiled and said, "Let's eat some snacks first, and go to the night market for dinner later."

Zhen Qiong nodded vigorously, happily pulling Han Miao, and walked towards the side courtyard where the snacks were hidden.Looking at the backs of the two, Qingfeng and Mingyue looked at each other and sighed.Fortunately, there is a master here, otherwise I am afraid that I will be killed because of being worked hard.I have to persuade my benefactor and recruit a few more juniors for them.
