Han Dao world

Zhou Zhong was also calm. "Yi Yun, the sage taught with divine way, and the world obeyed. Although the theory of disasters and abnormalities is far-fetched, it is also useful for enlightenment. The fate of heaven is impermanent, and only the virtuous live in it. Therefore, there are three generations of Qin and Han Dynasties, and the five virtues will end. If The way of heaven has nothing to do with people, so why did the Qin Dynasty perish and how did the Han Dynasty stand? I am stupid, please teach me, Your Majesty, Your Highness."

Fu Shou thought for a while, then looked back at Liu Xie, a little embarrassed.

This matter is not only related to the Confucianism's theory of catastrophe, but also to the end and beginning of the five virtues—in other words, to the legitimacy of the imperial power of the Han Dynasty—it is a question that is not easy to answer.

If it's just the former, she can still deal with it on Liu Xie's behalf, but she can't solve the latter.

It's just a debate, maybe she can find some reasons, whether to insist on the theory of the five virtues, the beginning and the end, must be made by Liu Xie.

Liu Xie smiled.

What should come will come.Just as Copernicus was worried about the Inquisition when he published the heliocentric theory, the development of natural science in the East will inevitably encounter the theory of interaction between heaven and man.

Religion controls power by monopolizing the interpretation of the Bible, while Confucianism monopolizes the court by monopolizing the interpretation of the Mandate of Heaven.

"Duke Zhou, it is precisely because heaven and man have a feeling, and people act according to the law of heaven and earth, so they should spend more energy studying the way of heaven. Only when they know the true way, can they legislate according to the way and rule the country according to the law. The five virtues are always the former sages. Explain, Duke Zhou should be confident that people today are no less than the sages of the past. If there is a new discovery in the way of heaven, there will naturally be new theories to adapt to it. Yi Yun has three changes, and the only thing that is easy is not easy. How can we stick to the established theory and reject new knowledge?"

Zhou Zhong ignored Liu Xie's rhetorical question and asked, "Your Majesty still believes in the connection between heaven and man?"

Liu Xie nodded. "Believe it. How can there be no connection between heaven and earth in life? At least so far, there is no evidence to deny this."

Zhou Zhong hesitated for a moment, then Yang Biao said: "This is a major event, it cannot be decided in a word. Sikong might as well go back to his seat, watch the singing and dancing, welcome the New Year together, and then think about it slowly."

Seeing that the Son of Heaven did not deny the connection between heaven and man, Zhou Zhong felt relieved, took advantage of the situation and bowed to thank him, returned to his seat, and continued to watch the singing and dancing.

When Zhou Zhong was talking to the emperor and the queen, Yu Fan had been drinking and didn't even look this way.Seeing that he was so calm, Zhao Shuang also breathed a sigh of relief. He shook the handwheel steadily, demonstrated the celestial phenomena, and invited people to come forward and experience stargazing from the small tube installed on the earth, especially Mars, which has always been difficult to explain in astronomy. retrograde.

Mars retrograde is a kind of visual error. It is more complicated to explain with traditional geocentric astronomy, but it is much simpler to explain with heliocentric astronomy.When someone sees that Mars is obviously going direct, but retrograde appears in the field of vision, they can't help but be amazed.

Although they still find it difficult to accept Zhao Shuang's theory for a while, they also realize that Zhao Shuang's point of view is not conjecture, it is reasonable to a certain extent, and more importantly, it is concise.

It is undoubtedly more reasonable to use this model to explain Mars retrograde.

Liu Xie was also very curious, and took the initiative to appreciate it, but his focus was not on the heliocentric theory, but on the model itself.

He knew that the craftsman Ping Gao in the lecture hall, after all, gathered the smartest group of people of this era, and Zhang Heng, who improved the armillary sphere and invented the seismograph, was closely inspired, so he was very good at making models.But the exquisite model in front of him still made him very happy. …

After several years of hard work, Zhang Heng's craftsmanship has been passed down, so there is no need to worry about losing it.

Technology should be constantly evolving, not lost.

Liu Xie said to Zhao Shuang, carefully verify and perfect your conjecture, and when it is recognized by scholars, I will confer a title on you, so that future generations will know your achievements.

Zhao Shuang was overjoyed and thanked him quickly.

Although he knew that Hua Tuo was named a marquis because of his medical skills, it was because of the relationship between the queen and the emperor's son. He never thought of being named a marquis because of his academic achievements.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

When everyone saw it, they were also very surprised.

Although it is not an era when you cannot be granted a title without merit, it is still a gift beyond the reach of ordinary people—even officials.Zhao Shuang was granted the title of Marquis because of his academics, which made countless people unable to go to the battlefield, and unable to be a Sangong, and could only be a scholar of learning.

The most exciting is Zhou Qun.

Zhao Shuang's discovery is related to him. It can even be said that if he is willing to work hard on research, he will not be able to wait for Zhao Shuang to publish this result.Now Zhao Shuang is only one step away from Fenghou, but he can only watch from the sidelines, not to mention regretting it.

Thinking about missing the champion's prize money at the book recommendation meeting before, and missing two chances in just a few days, he wished he could slap himself twice.

At this time, Empress Fushou said: "Your Majesty can be a Marquis, and the concubines can reward some vulgar things. Come, give Zhao Shuang ten pieces of gold and two pieces of brocade."

A maid came forward and placed ten golden cakes and two brocade horses that were as bright as clouds in front of Zhao Shuang.

Zhao Shuang thanked her again.

Seeing Zhao Shuang's fame and fortune, many people are envious.There was even a noble lady staring at Zhao Shuang carefully, thinking about inquiring after the banquet whether this promising young man was married.

Such a good son-in-law is hard to find in the world.

The atmosphere of the party was pushed to a climax, countless people congratulated Zhao Shuang, and some quietly congratulated Yu Fan.

Anyone who knows something about the power situation of the imperial court knows that this time Jiangdong people showed their faces, Yu Fan is the biggest hero, and more Jiangdong people will enter the lecture hall in the future.

Seeing this, Xun Or wondered whether he should step up his efforts to support Shi Tao, Meng Jian and others in their research.The strength of the Ruying people in the lecture hall is limited, but they have a deep foundation in the agricultural school, and agricultural science is the most urgent need to break through.

One stone stirs up thousands of waves, different people have different ideas, and they are full of hope for the coming Nine Years of Jian'an.

Liu Xie saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart.

He publicly announced his support for Zhao Shuang's research, and promised to be a Marquis. He hoped to take this rare opportunity to convey the court's attitude of valuing practical learning and real academic research, so that more talents can open up the pattern, and don't just focus on doing it. Official this way.

The most intelligent people should do learning, and it is natural science.

Without the development of the natural sciences, the humanities can only circle around in small circles without any breakthroughs.Two thousand years later, when it comes to ideas, they are still Laozi, Zhuangzi, and Confucius, but they are used to develop natural science, not to mention two thousand years, two hundred years can make a big difference in the world.With the generation gap in technology, the opportunity for backward nations to slaughter advanced civilizations with barbarism and blood will no longer exist.

At that point, the Five Hus would not be able to disrupt China, the Jurchens and Mongols would not be able to enter the customs, and the Anglo pirates could only kneel on the ground and sing about conquest, begging for the gift of Chinese civilization, and being proud of being the dog of a big man.

It is useless to reason with those robbers, the sword is the only language they understand.

The future has come.
