I studied in modern times

Chapter 166

The next day, Shen Kuo entered the imperial city again.

Soon, he was summoned, and the place where he was summoned was still in the side hall of Chongzheng Hall.

When Shen Kuo arrived, there were still many soldiers inside and outside the hall.

Shen Kuo was led by the courtiers, and when he arrived in the hall, he saw the young master sitting on the throne.

"My minister is dedicated to the manufacture of military weapons, and I wish His Majesty the emperor all blessings!" Shen Kuo bowed respectfully and respectfully.

"Exemption!" The young master in the hall ordered: "Give Shen Aiqing a seat! Give tea!"

A chair was moved behind Shen Kuo, and a cup of snow-white tea soup was delivered to Shen Kuo.

Shen Kuo thanked him again and sat down.

The young master on the throne clapped his hands at this moment.

The courtiers who had been serving the young master all this time bowed to him, and then led the maids behind him and the attendants on the left and right, all left the hall and pushed them to the sidewalk on the other side.

Obviously, this is something the young master has ordered long ago.

Shen Kuo's mood was inexplicably tense.

He sat on the chair, took a sip of tea soup, relieved his tension, and then said: "Your Majesty, Chen Qizuo, yesterday, Zhang Dun, who was in charge of Dutang, went to the Armament Manufacturing Bureau according to the benevolent order of the two palaces. middle……"

"Zhang Dun?" The young master in the palace heard Zhang Dun's name, and his tone had a hint of ridicule: "He went to the special weapon manufacturing bureau and saw the method of soaking copper in gall water. What did he say?" ?”

Shen Kuo lowered his head, and replied: "Zhang Zhizheng said: It's amazing! Isn't this alchemy?"

The young master asked very curiously: "How did Ai Qing answer?"

"The minister answered: This study of things leads to knowledge!"

"Zhang Zhizheng asked: What does it mean to study things and acquire knowledge?" Shen Kuo trembling, said: "I can't be right..."

"I have entered the palace, I beg Your Majesty to enlighten me..."

"What is the study of things to know... I beg your Majesty's hadith..."

This is the focus of his entry into the palace today.

What is Zhiwu Zhizhi? !
Can't he, a courtier, slap his ass and explain it according to his own ideas?
If the explanation is wrong, wouldn't it be that the horse's ass was slapped on the horse's thigh?

Therefore, the emperor must personally draw the range or designate a direction.

……

Looking at Shen Kuo's appearance, Zhao Xu was deeply relieved.

"It's worth my effort to recall you from Suizhou!" Zhao Xu thought in his heart.

For Zhao Xu, Shen Kuo has too many advantages.

Knows technology, understands engineering, has a strong subjective initiative, is aggressive, and is still a civil servant at the waiting level!

the most important……

Look at his flexible figure!

Can Su Song have such a figure?No!
"The so-called knowledge through investigation..." Zhao Xu stood up and slowly walked down the imperial steps, to a place close to Shen Kuo.

He waved to Shen Kuo.

Shen Kuo hastily moved over to hold fluoren, and he stopped only three or five steps ahead of the king.

Then, he heard the young master's childish voice softly said: "Didn't the saint already say it a long time ago?"

"Extend knowledge by studying things! Study things and then know!"

"Everything in the world is like this!"

"Why put pig iron in gall water to get copper mud?"

"Why not something else?"

"There must be a reason and a reason for this!"

"The righteousness of the sage must also be hidden in it..."

Shen Kuo listened, swallowed his saliva, and said: "Please make it clear, Your Majesty..."

"Everything in the world has its own form..." Zhao Xu said, "Just like water is heated, there will be water vapor, and when the water vapor is cold, it will condense into water droplets..."

"The beauty of yin and yang good fortune is nothing more than this!"

"When the gallbladder meets iron, there will be copper..."

"Is it the same?"

"This is what Shen Tiju is going to do! It also needs Shen Tiju to explain it with the meaning of a sage!"

Shen Kuo listened, understood, understood.

Use the principles of the sages to explain the smelting of copper with gall water.

This is not a problem for him!

After all, he is also a Confucian official!
He has attainments in Confucianism, although he is not top-notch, he is still a first-class contemporary scholar.

The Confucian classics are well known by heart, so you can make them easily.

For example, at this moment, Shen Kuo remembered the interpretations of many contemporary schools of thought.

Zhang Zai's theory of qi - all things are qi, and the principle is in qi.

Therefore, respected scholar-bureaucrats "know things with virtue and benefit the world with morality".

He also remembered some descriptions in Wang Anshi's Three Classics and New Meanings...

It's just that Wang Anshi is still there now, and the final interpretation is in Wang Anshi's hands!

That bastard is really difficult to deal with!

Similarly, Er Cheng's Confucianism interpretation was also abandoned by him - there are still living people!If you talk nonsense, be careful not to be knocked on your door.

Shao Yong's understanding of heaven and earth can also be used.

The trouble is that Shao Yong's son, Shao Bowen, is difficult to deal with.

It seems that some of the insights of Mr. Hu Yuan and Zhou Dunyi are also useful!

Thinking of this, Shen Kuo lowered his head, held the fluoren and bowed: "I understand! Your Majesty's lesson, I will remember it in my heart!"

Zhao Xu nodded, and suddenly asked: "Shen Tiju, Zhang Zihou asked Gewu Zhizhi yesterday... After Tiju goes back today, will he and Zhang Zihou also mention the matter of the question before you?"

Shen Kuo shook his head first, but when he saw the smile on the young master's mouth, he nodded again.

Zhao Xu smiled: "I know what's going on here, you know, I know, let Zhang Zihou guess!"

"And the rest... don't need to know!"

"I would like to obey His Majesty's will!"

Shen Kuo understood.

It is good that he personally knows what happened here today, but he can reveal some details, or hint, and let Zhang Dun guess.

For others, it must not be said.

only……

The young master's attitude towards Zhang Zihou is a bit subtle!

Shen Kuo has already noticed that although the young master concealed it well, it may be because there is no outsider present in private, so every time he mentions Zhang Dun and Zhang Zihou, it is mostly ridicule, joke, and wicked taste. Mentality!
……

Sending Shen Kuo away, Zhao Xu flicked his robe, and let out a slight breath.

It's not that he didn't think about it, and he simply pointed out some modern chemical knowledge to Shen Kuo.

However, that was too shocking.

Moreover, Shen Kuo may not be able to accept it, let alone the scholar-officials in today's world.

It's better to wrap it up with Confucian theories first, and let people know that there are these things, principles and laws.

As for the future?

I have a great Confucian who interprets the scriptures for me!

After the society develops to a certain level, the scientific spirit is also born!

Of course, in this way, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be some people who hold the book of Confucius and Mencius to make a fool of themselves.

But what does it matter?

In modern times, Zhao Xu met a few girls who believed that the earth was flat and that human beings were created by the so-called Lord!
But this did not prevent Zhao Xu and the others from doing something to promote international religious and cultural exchanges between different ethnic groups.

"Let's go!" Zhao Xu told Feng Jing who was coming up to him, "Go to the Kunning Hall first, and greet the queen mother!"
