Chapter 19: Turning Over the Hurdle (Part II)

In terms of scriptures, Su Song does not completely agree with Zhang Zai and Han Gang's views, but in the way of nature, he is on Han Gang's side. Seeing that Jinzi regarded Qi as an enemy, Su Song couldn't help but worry about Han Gang, who still insisted on fighting Xinxue in the "Compendium of Materia Medica".

"Brother Zirong is worried a lot, Han Gang didn't plan to sail against the wind, and in the past, he mostly took advantage of the situation to push the boat downstream. But Brother Zirong, is it true that the wind can be reversed with an edict now? ”

"Why did Yukun say this?"

"I heard that some people in Nanjing [Shangqiu] have begun to set up private kilns to make glass, and the transparent glass that can polish lenses will become cheaper and cheaper in the future." Han Gang smiled, he is not the only one who can dig the foot of the wall, after all, this market is not small, "There are also shops that specialize in glasses on the market, and there will be more and more craftsmen who can polish lenses." The Son of Heaven can't help but let people wear glasses, right? ”

This is obviously a stubborn refusal to admit defeat, Su Song sighed, but listened to Han Gang continue.

"What's more, there are magnifying glasses and microscopes, which cannot be banned together, these lenses, as long as they are of the same shape, how many people can distinguish them from the lenses of the clairnel? What means can the imperial court use to ban the clairvoyant? The cost of making a clairvoyant mirror will not exceed five times—this is from the ordnance prison—and when the edict banning the clairvoyant mirror is officially implemented, the market price outside will rise to fifty times, at least ten times the profit, and no one will be unimpressed. ”

"Yukun, businessmen are profitable, but no matter how much money they have, they are not as precious as their lives." Su Song warned: "Although the clairvoyant mirror is classified as a forbidden weapon, but if you keep the clairie mirror privately, you will also commit a ban on studying astronomy privately. Now that the court is happy with cool officials, having a clairvoyant mirror at that time will be counted together as two crimes. ”

"Hearing Brother Zirong say this, it reminds people of the matter of the Han Ancestor and Jian Yong's discussion of private brewing." Han Gang suddenly laughed.

After Liu Bei took Shu, there was a drought in Shu one year. Liu Bei was afraid that there would be a shortage of food, so he issued an edict prohibiting private brewing. When the edict was issued, the following enforcement was extremely strict, and even those who owned sake brewing equipment were also punished. Jian Yong and Liu Bei traveled together, and when they saw a man and a woman walking together, they said to Liu Bei: 'These two people want to do it, adultery, why don't they catch them quickly, and deal with them according to the law?' Liu Bei asked suspiciously, "How does Qing know?" Jian Yong said: "They all have adultery in them. Kinky tool! Same as those with brewing tools. ’

The story that was collected into the "Taiping Guangji" does not need to be explained by Han Gang, and most scholars are familiar with it even if they can't remember the details in "The Biography of Jian Yong".

There was a strong sense of sarcasm in Han Gang's laughter: "As long as you have eyes, you can look at the stars when you raise your head, and you can ban the clairvoyant mirror, can you even ban the eyes?" ”

Hearing that there seemed to be resentment in Han Gang's words, Su Song's face changed, and he said urgently: "Yukun, you only remember the ancestor and Jian Yong, why don't you remember the ancestor and Zhang Yu?!" ”

After Liu Bei entered Shu, he killed Zhang Yu with old hatred. Zhuge Liang asked Liu Bei what crime Changyu had committed, and said that Changyu was a rare talent. Liu Bei's answer was wonderful, leaving Zhuge Liang speechless.

"'Zhilan is the door, and he has to hoe.' Think about how Changyu died? Yukun, do you want to be Changyu?! Su Song was full of emotion for a while. Just looking at Han Gang's expression, his tone softened again, "People are too, things are too, and so is Tao." If the Son of Heaven has no intention of advocating Qi science, what harm does it matter if you let it go for the time being, Yukun?! ”

Being able to say this, Su Song can be regarded as digging out his heart and lungs. Han Gang got up and bowed to Su Song in a dignified manner: "Thank you Brother Zirong for your words, Han Gang will understand." He smiled bitterly, "The words of the clairie mirror are only said here, and Han Gang has no intention of writing a book to admonish things that he can see in the future." However, in Qi science, it is absolutely not allowed. ”

For Han Gang's unbending temper, Su Song has three points of helplessness, but he also has five or six points of appreciation. Speaking of which, when he was a scholar in the middle school, he was also inappropriately conceded, and he would never let it. refused to give the Son of Heaven a draft edict, and with the other two scholars, they were called 'Sanshe people', and they were demoted to the last place.

Su Song also stopped persuading and changed the topic: "Dacheng Xiaocheng in Luoyang, I heard that a new book has come out recently. ”

"The new book is titled Yi Chuan." Han Gang has been paying attention to Luoyang, and when he received the news, he was earlier than Su Song, "I started writing it very early, but it only came out recently...... It is also to catch up with the recent trend and fight for unity. ”

"The Book of Changes originated from the Three Sages, and if you ignore the possibility of forgery by later generations - in fact, Ouyang Yongshu said that there are several articles in "Zhou Yi" forged by later generations - it can be regarded as one of the earliest books of the scriptures. It's only a little later than "Shangshu". The study of the saints is rooted in this book. Su Song looked at Han Gang, shook his head and chuckled, "Ercheng is "Yi Chuan", which is also a general matter of making a fuss from the root. ”

Wang Anshi's "Words of Thought" is based on the exegetical interpretation of the word "one word", so as to seize the right to annotate the Confucian classics and strengthen the foundation of the previous "Three Classics and New Meanings". Just like the education system that was promoted to the next level in later generations, primary school is the premise and foundation of secondary school and university; The primary school at this time is also the foundation of all scripture learning. And Cheng Hao Cheng Yi is now handed down with "Yi Chuan", and he also has the same thoughts.

Ercheng's "Yi Chuan", Han Gang's Theory of Nature, and Wang Anshi's "Words and Words" all come from the foundation and hold the fundamentals. Once it is done, the Taoism is in hand. The difference in the focus chosen by the three schools reflects the fundamental difference between the three schools.

Not only these three schools, but also other schools of thought are all using the syllabus to lead the way.

In the previous generation of Confucianism, Sun Fu wrote "Yi Shuo", Shi Jie taught his apprentices "Shangshu", and Hu Ying had "Hong Fan Kouyi" and "Analects"; Ouyang Xiu looked through the scriptures, and even examined their authenticity. But they all have one thing in common, that is, they all worship the "Spring and Autumn Period", and they have worked very the three transmissions of the Spring and Autumn Period.

This is the situation in the world at that time, the northwest is rampant and China is weak, we must work the four words of respecting the king and destroying the people, in order to inspire people, except for "Spring and Autumn", there is no other choice. At the same time, in the Tang Dynasty's "Zhou Yi", "Shangshu", "Book of Songs", "Book of Rites", "Spring and Autumn" of the five classics, the "Spring and Autumn" is the easiest to start, after all, Kong Yingda compiled the "Five Classics of Justice", only "Spring and Autumn Left Transmission of Justice", "Gu Liang", "Ram" two legends are less, which gives Song Confucianism space to get his hands up, and Song Confucianism subverts the Han and Tang Dynasty scriptures from then on. At that time, the program was above the "Spring and Autumn".

"Spring and Autumn" is the history of Lu, and now, the three Su fathers and sons emphasize history, and Sima Guang emphasizes historiography, which can actually be regarded as the "Spring and Autumn" lineage. And Shao Yong and Zhou Dunyi, one delves into the "Yi" of elephant numbers, and the other talks about Taijitu, all of which belong to the line of easy learning. It's all a source of flow.

Han Gang wants to fight for Taoism, and of course he has an in-depth understanding of the changes in Confucianism since the founding of the country. Those great Confucians who have made achievements, where is the foundation of their learning, Han Gang knows, and they themselves know better. Nowadays, Xinxue and Chengmen are competing for Taoism, and no one will know where to make a fuss.

The Son of Heaven suppressed Qi Learning, and to be honest, Han Gang was holding his breath in his heart. Although he was a little uncomfortable with his father-in-law Wang Anshi in terms of affection, but in this battle of Taoism, Han Gang was not ready to back down at all, and he couldn't back down.

Inspecting the medicinal materials on the table for samples, Han Gang's eyes became more and more cold, "When Jiayue's "Words and Words" was written, he once sent me the first draft. But after reading it, he replied, 'Carving a boat for a sword'. Now Luoyang's "Yi Chuan", in the next view, is also a general 'carving a boat for a sword'. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Su Song asked.

"To cure the Book of Changes, we must first understand its origin." Han Gang explained: "Although "Zhou Yi" originated from the Three Sages, before "Zhou Yi", there were "Lianshan" and "Returning to Tibet", but it is not just a matter of explaining "Zhou Yi". ”

"Haven't "Lianshan" and "Returning to Tibet" been lost a long time ago? Although there was this book in the Tang Dynasty, it had already been examined and was a forgery. ”

"Those two are indeed lost, but the three "Book of Changes", there is a sequence of time, and there is a basis for the birth of "Zhou Yi", to explain "Zhou Yi", first explain the relationship with "Lianshan" and "Guizang".

What kind of calculations Zhao Ji has, that's his business. But Han Gang didn't intend to be a courtier who only followed the rules and followed the trend. If you don't screw it with the emperor, is it still worthy of being called a scholar?

Han Gang tried his best to add a layer of aura to himself as a disciple of the Medicine King, and seeking fame was only part of it—Han Gang, who didn't plan to learn from Wang Anshi for thirty years, could only try to take a shortcut—but the other part was to let Zhao Ji throw a mouse trap.

Because of the sluggish relationship between the emperor's heirs, Zhao Ji resolutely did not dare to tear his face with himself. Compared with whether he can have a son to inherit the throne, whether it is 'the country' or the goal of 'one morality', in Zhao Ji's eyes, it must be put aside. His family worked hard for the country and the people, and finally let his younger brother or nephew sit on the throne and enjoy it, could Zhao Ji be willing? Even in later generations, not many people are willing to sacrifice their children and leave their inheritance to their brothers, let alone in this era of extreme emphasis on bloodline and incense inheritance?

As long as he, Han Gang, does not commit heinous felonies, any problems Zhao Ji has to endure it. What's more, what Han Gang is going to do, the direct target is still Xinxue and Chengmen, and Zhao Ji is only incidental at most.

Put away the medicinal materials and drafts neatly, and only Ercheng's "Yi Chuan" and Wang Anshi's "Words Say" were left on the table, which was the goal he was going to fight now.

Although Zhao Ji has been pulling the shelf, Han Gang doesn't think he can do much. The hole cards in Han Gang's hand are not something that Zhao Ji and others can calculate, and the preparations are ready, and everything is going more smoothly than expected.

When it's time to play chess, he will play chess in peace, but when necessary, flipping the chessboard is also an option.
