Han Dao world

Chapter 1099
Zhang Heng Temple.

Liu Xie and Yang Xiu walked side by side in plain clothes.

Yang Xiu's complexion was slightly dark, his body was strong, and his beard was so stiff that it exploded.If you don't know him, no one can believe that he is the descendant of the fourth generation and the third son, a celebrity full of economics and literary talents.

"Lingtang didn't blame me, did he?" Liu Xie laughed.

"My mother has been to Hanyang before." Yang Xiu said. "At the beginning, I always felt distressed, but later I said, thanks to meeting His Majesty, otherwise, I would only be a celebrity, not a famous minister. With my nature, I might die because of this mouth."

Liu Xie raised his eyebrows lightly.

It has to be said that the aura of the Yuan family seems to be concentrated on the woman.Yuan Quan and Yuan Heng are outstanding, and their aunt also hits the nail on the head.

Yang Xiu in history didn't just die on the lips, he was far inferior to Yuan Yao who knew how to be clumsy.

"If you say that, I'm relieved." Liu Xie laughed. "That question should have an answer, right?"

"It's a bit of experience, but I can't guarantee whether His Majesty will be satisfied."

"tell me the story."

"Qin's defeat was due to the abuse of people's power and military arrogance. The defeat of the six countries was due to the fact that the branches were strong and the stems were weak, and their power could not reach the people. Inheriting the Qin system, even after its decline, it still surpassed the Six Kingdoms. The reason why Qin died and Han prospered was that the emperor Gao and his heroes came from the grasslands, knew the suffering of the people, and were able to use the power of the people. Compared with Qin, it is even more powerful. Further, the foundation is also deeper. Therefore, Xiaowu can expand the land for thousands of miles and drive out the Xiongnu."

Liu Xie nodded, but did not speak.

Yang Xiu went on to say: "The world is the world of the people in the world. If you can use the power of the people in the world to unite as one, then all peoples will be my brothers and sisters, and resist the enemy for me instead of my enemy. The so-called benevolent is invincible."

Liu Xie couldn't help laughing. "Have you talked with Chen Gong?"

"Although we haven't talked about it, but we have similar views, so we think we have similar views." Yang Xiu said with a smile, "Actually, there was such a saying before, but it was just in words. He served as the prefect of Hanyang for several years, and got along with the people of the Qiang Han day and night. We know that the so-called Qiang chaos is not because the people are naturally chaotic, but because they have to."

He sighed. "The ones who drove them to a dead end were a lot of benevolent scholars. For their own self-interest, they forced Liangzhou people to become enemies of the imperial court, and then shifted the responsibility to the imperial court. As a Confucian disciple, I feel deeply ashamed .”

"That's not necessary. Not all people who have studied are Confucian students. There are many people who study just to become officials, and may not really be convinced by Confucianism." Liu Xie turned to look at Yang Xiu, with gratification in his eyes . "Only those who can put the way of the sage into practice, and take benevolent government and the way of kingship as their own responsibility, are the true Confucian disciples. And those who can keep pace with the times, uphold the original heart of the sage, and not stick to the wisdom of the sage, These are the true disciples of the saints."

Liu Xie paused, then said quietly: "Those who can love others are all saints."

Yang Xiu nodded slowly. "What your majesty said is also the voice of my minister. It is my luck to be able to get your majesty in the year of weak crown. Four generations and three princes are insignificant. I am willing to be Yan Hui."

Liu Xie shook his head. "Yan Hui is virtuous but has no achievements. He is useless. You should go further than him."

Yang Xiu took a look at Liu Xie and smiled. "Wei, as His Majesty wishes."

While talking, the two came to a stone tablet.

A group of people surrounded the stele, pointing at the picture on the stele and arguing about something.Liu Xie knew what these people were talking about without getting close.

What is engraved on this stele is the recently popular "Xuan Ye Shuo".

Xuan Ye said that there were only text and no diagrams at first, because Liu Xie did not directly deal with it, and the scholar in charge of this matter also said to Xuan Ye that he didn't understand it, so he couldn't draw a schematic diagram, so he had to leave it blank, which also secretly agreed with Xuan Ye. Ye said the context of "the sun, the moon, and the stars were born in the void".

But without a picture, it is not intuitive after all, so many good people have been hoping to make up this picture, and someone will post a picture here every once in a while for everyone to comment on.

Yang Xiu was tall and tall. He glanced at it from a distance and laughed.

"Another one behind closed doors."

Before Liu Xie could speak, a middle-aged man beside the stele turned his head and looked over. Seeing Yang Xiu's extraordinary momentum, he immediately walked over and bowed his hands in salute.

"Xu Yue in Xia Donglai, dare to ask your step's high name."

Liu Xie's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't say anything.

He had heard several people mention Xu Yue from Donglai recently, but he didn't expect to see him here.

Yang Xiu looked him up. "Isn't this picture drawn by Xu Jun?"

"Exactly." Xu Yue looked at Yang Xiu again, and stretched out his hand to invite Yang Xiu to speak aside.

Yang Xiu followed, walked to a secluded place, and said a few words, then Xu Yue suddenly clapped his hands, as if waking up from a dream, and left in a hurry without saluting.

Liu Xie was very surprised, and when Yang Xiu came back, he asked what they had said.

Yang Xiuhun didn't mind and said, "I said he can't always keep his head down, he has to keep his head up." He pointed to the sky. "Xuan Ye is talking about astronomy, so of course you should look up at the sky."

"Looking up at the sky, can you understand what Xuan Ye said?"

"Your Majesty, the Milky Way is brilliant." Although Yang Xiu's voice was not loud, his smile was very bright, with a bit of complacency. "Draw it in the shape of Xinghe, isn't it the best schematic diagram that Xuan Ye said?"

Liu Xie thought for a while, but still didn't quite understand what Yang Xiu meant.

Seeing this, Yang Xiu said again: "Your Majesty, you might as well imagine the Xinghe River as a big lake. There are not only boats on the lake, but also birds in the air and fish in the water. Whether it's a boat or a fish or a bird, they are all different stars, but they come from different stars. Looking at it from the convenience of the boat, the scene is completely different. When we stand on the boat, what we see is a long river of stars. Countless boats are piled on top of each other, as if they are stacked together. But in the eyes of the birds on the river and the fish swimming in the water, it may not be the same It’s not a long river of stars, but a lake with boats of all sizes evenly scattered on it.”

An image appeared in Liu Xie's mind, and he understood what Yang Xiu meant.

Although Yang Xiu's point of view is still far from the truth, he has jumped out of the inherent perspective, and he has taken a crucial step if he can look at the problem from the perspective of a bird in the air or a fish swimming in the water.

With Xu Yue's attainments in astronomy and mathematics, it shouldn't be difficult for him to draw a schematic diagram of Xuan Ye's theory.

"How did you come up with this idea?"

"I didn't think of it." Yang Xiu said, "I saw it."

"saw?"

"Your Majesty, I have a good telescope. When I have nothing to do, I enjoy stargazing." Yang Xiu pointed to the sky. "In this telescope, the stars in the sky are very different."

"How is it different?"

"Some stars are round, but some stars are not round, but flat, and the flatness is not the same. So I thought, maybe those stars are not a single star, but a cluster of stars, just like It’s the same as the Milky Way, but it’s too far away. In other words, the reason why the Galaxy is like a belt is that we stand on the boat and it looks flatter. If we fly in the air like a bird, or swim in the water like a fish, then it’s not a belt, but It's out."

After Liu Xie pondered for a while, he understood Yang Xiu's logic.

I have to say, this guy is really smart.
