Chapter 493 Lifelong Events in and out (1)

Lu Huiqing and Lu Jiawen, and sat in the side hall of Wang Anshi's mansion.

Lu Jiawen went out to inspect Jingdong's city affairs the day before yesterday. He just returned from Yingtian Prefecture in Nanjing [Shangqiu] today. As soon as he approached Tokyo City, he immediately heard about the episode at the Qionglin Banquet. Regarding the result of Yang Hui and Han Gang's confrontation, Lu Jiawen was also very upset: "I didn't expect Yang Hui to ask him to go out by himself."

Lu Huiqing sneered: "Yang Yuan was in great trouble. She lost all her reputation at the Qionglin Banquet, and even lost the scene. She became a laughing stock in Tokyo. If she didn't go out, would she stay in the capital and continue to be laughed at?!"

"Yang Yuan is unhappy with Han Yukun, so he really makes trouble." Lu Jiawen asked, although he had never seen Han Gang several times, he also focused on inquiring about Wang Anshi's second son-in-law. "Xiang Bao's stroke has not yet been cured, Dou Shunqing has retired, Su Zizhan is still in Hangzhou, and King Yong is living outside the palace honestly. No one who can't get along with Han Gang will have a good result."

"Wen Yanbo also repeatedly wanted to take Han Gang to beat Wang Shao and his husband. You know what happened in the end." Lu Huiqing said with a smile.

"That time I almost had a stroke?" Lu Jia asked and laughed, "I am so famous that I am really the star of the sky!"

"I really can't mess with you..." Lu Huiqing also sighed, "That Han Yukun!"

"What are you saying in Yukun?" Wang Anshi changed into a wealthy robe and came out, just in time to hear the second half of the sentence.

"It's just that Han Yukun's incident at the Qionglin Banquet." Lu Huiqing changed his words very quickly, and he couldn't say that his son-in-law was a broom star in front of his father-in-law. "It was a bit too much for him to throw the stone into the water in front of the emperor. But his later deduction was very reasonable, and it still had the taste of the Consciousness-Only Sect. I wonder if it was because Hengqu was leaning against the Dacien Temple in Chang'an."

After the great rise of Buddhism and Taoism in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Song Confucian schools all integrated theories of the two religions. Almost all great scholars of the times did not study Buddhism and Taoism. Even the Luoxue and Guanxue schools, which always rejected Buddhist teachings and respected Confucianism, were the same. For example, Zhang Zai, after studying Buddhism and Taoism, he returned to the palace of Confucianism. Not to mention Wang Anshi, who could make annotations and commentaries on Laozi, and could name all talents in the world with verses.

"Is it because of Mingxue?" Wang Anshi asked casually and sat down.

The Yogacara school is the most profound school among the Buddhist sects that study the Mingxue [nearly logic of later generations]. Lu Huiqing said this because he felt that Han Gang borrowed Galileo's logical reasoning, which was a bit like the debate technique of Mingxue in Buddhism.

"That's right!" Lu Huiqing nodded. However, Lu Jiawen was confused and could only sit still. After all, there were only a few people in the new party who could discuss various methods with Wang Anshi.

Wang Anshi thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's a bit similar, but it's still a little different from the method of enlightenment mentioned in "Cheng Weishi Lun". Yukun said too little about this matter, but just a few words and one thing is inconvenient to make a conclusion."

"These are all details, so you can ask again in the future." Lu Huiqing said with a little spy, "But the marriage between Han Yukun and the second-year-old lady of the husband's family is coming soon. At that time, we have to prepare a gift!"

Listening to Lu Huiqing mentioning his second daughter's marriage, Wang Anshi smiled bitterly. He was another son-in-law who was not on the same side as him. If Hangang had not been a decent person and had gone through fire and water for his master's sect, Wang Anshi had the desire to regret his marriage: "All the troubles of the Jingyi Bureau."

From his words and expressions, Lu Huiqing saw Wang Anshi's distress and comforted him: "Han Yukun was indeed summoned by the emperor one after another, but it does not mean that he can really persuade the emperor. Otherwise, the edict to summon Zhang Zai to the court should have been issued."

"So what if you want the emperor to issue an edict?" Wang Anshi said coldly with a half-slump in his face.

Lu Huiqing was happy when she heard this: "...What does your husband mean?"

"No, it's not possible! Didn't the outside say that I'm trying to force my husband?" Wang Anshi's expression was firm and his tone was unshakable: "No matter what Han Yukun was calculating, the Jingyi Bureau must not let people!"

Just when Wang Anshi was angry, Han Gang was in Chongzheng Hall.

Li Shun raised his hand and took a piece of white crystal. The column with a triangle on the side was crystal clear, reflecting the sunset shining into the hall in the palm of his palm, shining brightly.

Han Gang just mentioned it to Zhao Xu once the day before yesterday. In just two days, he actually ground it. He used extremely transparent white crystals and could not see any pores. The grinding was bright and thorough, and there was almost no grinding marks on it. This kind of craftsman is not something that ordinary masters can do.

After all, he is an emperor, and he speaks the same thing. Just a word can make people work day and night. Crystal is valuable, but it is nothing to the emperor.

Han Gang looked at the prism in his hand carefully, and it was no worse than the crystal products made of precision machinery in later generations. If he could borrow this master, he might be able to polish the lens out in a few days.

"This is a prism, right?" Zhao Xu said, "I used it to face the sunlight just now, and it did emit colorful colors, just like the rainbow light. It is exactly the same as what Han Qing said."

Han Gang was called on the court the day before yesterday and said the prism while the iron was hot. Zhao Xu was very interested in this and immediately named the craftsman.

"After the rainbow rains, it must be clear from the sky. When the sun comes out, it is the water vapor remaining in the air, which refracts the sunlight. Its essence is the same as the seven-color light divided by the prism."

The day before yesterday, Zhao Xu also heard Han Gang mention that by understanding the composition of sunlight, he could understand where the colors of all things come from. He was just listening at that time. However, after the prism was polished, he had an intuitive understanding.

Zhao Xu smiled and took back the prism and played with it in his hand, "The more you study the things and get to know, the more you make the more reasonable it is, it is indeed a matter of urgency. Zhang Zai has indeed made some unique ideas in the Confucianism.

"It's not just a teacher, but Luoyang's two Chengs also said to investigate things." Han Gang seized the opportunity: "Now, all Confucian schools have their own reasonable side. If you can gather famous scholars in the world and discuss the new meanings of the scriptures, your Majesty will personally decide. The grand event of Shiqu Pavilion and *** Temple can also be reproduced in this life. Otherwise, it will be a joke to build a car behind closed doors."

The Shiquge Conference and the ***guan Conference were grand occasions that gathered famous scholars from all over the world to discuss Confucian classics during the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty and Emperor Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty. They were personally presided over and ruled by the emperor and left their name in later generations since then.

"..." Zhao Xu was silent for a moment, and even put down the prism in his hand.

Of course, Zhao Xu didn't want the outside world or descendants to laugh at him. But he knew that this was not easy to deal with. Although the disputes between various schools cannot be said to be a life-and-death battle, it can also be considered contrary to the CCP. If they force themselves together, they will almost be firecrackers, and they will explode when they are lit.

Moreover, even the conclusions reached at the meeting were completely abandoned soon. Otherwise, the commentaries of the Han Confucians who have been passed down to this day would not have been written by Zheng Xuan in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

When Han Gang saw Zhao Xu's hesitation, a burst of regret flashed in his heart.

He knew why the emperor was hesitant. Now Wang Anshi was already writing "New Issue of Zhou Guan", while Wang Rong and Lu Huiqing were annotating the "Book of Songs" and "Shangshu". Zhang Zai talked about the "Book of Songs", but he was also familiar with the "Li of Zhou". Han Gang also knew that if Zhang Zai came to Beijing, what he wanted to say would never be limited to investigating things. If all the great scholars of the families came to Beijing, let alone how popular the discussion would be.

It seems that he is still a little too impatient. Although Zhao Xu is interested in investigating things, he is only interested. The purpose of the Jingyi Bureau is to "one morality". Han Gang can see that the emperor is also looking forward to it. However, Han Gang's proposal cannot bring Zhao Xu a classic interpretation of unification. The rift between several schools is even deeper than the gap between the new and old parties. It is impossible to achieve a result that all parties can agree slightly like the two meetings of ***guan and Shiquge.

'As sure...' Han Gang sighed secretly. Even though Zhao Xu became interested in the theory of investigating things and created such a great momentum through the experiment of falling things, it was still vulnerable in the face of power. At present, the emperor only had a little interest in investigating things to learn, but this interest was hard to resist his desire to stabilize the court and control his thoughts.

It seems that it is not enough to go to the upper level after all, and you have to rely on yourself. When your status is higher, your status is almost the same as Wang Anshi.

Since that's the case, it's better to settle for the second best. If you use ten things, you will get two or three. If you lose, you will lose, but it is also good to be able to spread the reputation of studying the world in the capital.

Hangang's goal is clear.

His memory of later science is only at the level of junior high school, and his understanding of classics, history, and collections is limited to the scope of the Jinshi imperial examination. As for philosophy, it is indeed important, but there are many different schools. Han Gang did not have the energy to spend too much energy on it. So he kept putting Guan Xue's clothes on his body, and someone would summarize it in the future. What Han Gang had to do was to promote the understanding of natural science in this era and improve productivity. If industry could rise, emerging interest groups would demand more power.

So at the beginning, the road calculated is not working, so let’s change it. As long as you can finally reach the destination, it is not that important which road you are taking.

After thinking it through, Han Gang did not say anything again, but let it go and discussed optical refraction and reflection with Zhao Xu in the prism.
