Chapter 18: The Question of Miao, Taki (4)

Since Han Gang began to revise the "Compendium of Materia Medica", the courtyard in a corner of Taichang Temple has gathered dozens or hundreds of times the attention of the previous one.

After all, the pox cultivation technique originated from Han Gang, and everyone thought that he could have any amazing ideas. And in the Editorial Bureau of the "Compendium of Materia Medica", there is no silent order. The novelty of turning rotten grass into a falsification is naturally the easiest to spread.

"It's a mistake to turn the grass into fireflies...... there was a bit of confusion on the expression on Zhao Ji's face, "Is the news true?" ”

Song Yongchen hurriedly said: "Back to the official's house, this is what the slave maid heard from Taichang Temple, and I don't dare to change a word." It's just right or wrong, and the slave doesn't know what to do. ”

"Go down." Zhao Ji nodded and motioned for Song Yongchen to go down, but immediately stopped Song Yongchen: "Wait......"

Song Yongchen stopped, bowed and waited for Zhao Ji to speak.

But Zhao Ji hesitated for a long time, and still waved his hand: "Let's go down." ”

When Song Yongchen, the eunuch, left the Chongzheng Palace, Zhao Ji rubbed his forehead tiredly. The reason why Han Gang wanted to compile the "Compendium of Materia Medica", he also knew that the Dao was somewhat for qi science, but he didn't expect that it would be from this perspective to use such a technique.

Zhao Ji didn't feel the need for people to re-verify the authenticity of this rumor, Han Gang, the minister's character, Zhao Ji knew it very well. Now that he has spoken, he must have been completely sure. Han Gang's consistent flaunting of empirical evidence will naturally not make a mistake in this regard.

In other words, the article in the "Book of Rites" is a misunderstanding that has lasted for thousands of years.

What a means.

Even though he held his breath in his heart, Zhao Ji still felt that he had to praise Han Gang's actions twice, he was worthy of being one of the best ministers in the imperial court, and his military methods had been used in the battle for Taoism.

Zhao Ji has been paying attention to the news in the Compendium of Materia Medica, and the two trees of life that Han Gangzhang hung in the main hall of the bureau were copied to the Funing Hall as soon as possible.

Zhao Ji only found it interesting that Han Gang had created this seemingly complicated and abnormal taxonomy, but when Song Yongchen returned to Chongzheng Hall with the latest news, Zhao Ji helplessly found that he seemed to be wrong again.

From his father Yingzong's accession to the throne, to Zhao Ji's own succession, and then to the present of Yuanfeng's three years, in the past ten years, he has been receiving the teachings and teachings of first-class scholars.

Whether it is the purpose or the influence, this time the Qixue has taken a big step forward on the road of competing for Confucianism and Taoism...... Wrong! Zhao Ji shook his head, pulling the opponent back.

In any case, Han Gang's efforts to record the poems and rituals are ruthlessly digging the foundation of the opponent. The "Book of Songs" was attacked, and all the past commentaries on the son of the moth were problematic, and the "Book of Rites" was reprimanded, so the "Moon Order" of this book, and even the commentary on this one, have become a joke.

Han Gang's real purpose of compiling the pharmacopoeia finally surfaced. The previous speculation seemed too superficial in front of Han Gang's true purpose.

What Han Gang has been doing all this time is to preach qi. Letting him manage the Imperial Medical Bureau and the Department of Health and Welfare, and compiling the "Compendium of Materia Medica" indeed suppressed his possibility of advancing to the two prefectures, but on the other hand, it also gave him the opportunity to study in the light atmosphere, which was equivalent to throwing the cat into the fish pile, which was exactly what he wanted.

Zhao Ji's face was gloomy, which was diametrically opposed to the bright sun outside the hall. As the Son of Heaven, Zhao Ji never likes to see things out of his control. Although Zhao Ji didn't think he was fooled about this matter, he still didn't like this result very much.

Because he wants a morality.

As the Son of Heaven, Zhao Ji hoped that everything advocated by the imperial court, from Confucianism to the law, would not be subject to additional challenges, which was related to the prestige of the imperial court and the stability of the people's hearts in the imperial court.

If it was an ordinary debate, it could be completely ignored, but Han Gang never argued with others, and since he threw stones and scales at the Qionglin banquet, he has always used the facts that can be seen to open his eyes.

Obvious mistakes cannot be glossed over. Just like the fallacy of Yizi of the moth, when Han Gang corrected it, there were hundreds of people who refuted it. Even at the scripture banquet, several scripture officials who gave lectures to Zhao Ji also severely reprimanded Han Gang's absurdity. But when more and more people proved Han Gang's correctness through empirical evidence, the few people who were righteous and strict in front of Zhao Ji before didn't have the face to talk about a few poems in "The Book of Songs: Xiaoya".

Evidenced by facts.

When Han Gang raised this banner, it was impossible to argue with it. Lecturing is a process of convincing the world, and in order to convince people, it can never be divorced from the facts. Scriptures, interpretations, whatever the speech of any family, must bow to this banner. And this is Han Gang, who is famous for his knowledge of things, the most proud battlefield.

Zhao Ji also learned about the view of qi science - the metaphysical Tao must return to the metaphysical instrument, the so-called instrument, which is the reality that can be seen.

Han Gang is wholeheartedly digging the foundation of Xinxue, "Poetry" has poked a hole in him, and now he is staring at "The Book of Rites".

Although the scriptures annotated in the "Three Classics and New Meanings" are "Shangshu", "Zhou Li" and "Book of Songs", and when Wang Anshi gave lectures to Zhao Ji, he also criticized the "Book of Rites" for many false articles. But when Han Gang wielded an axe to view the foundation of the "Book of Rites", would he let go of the "Book of Songs" involving more than 100 articles of plants, trees, insects and birds, and would he let go of all the scriptures in the world that are inevitably involved in these many scriptures and their commentaries and interpretations? In the new meaning of the Three Classics, there are a large number of entries on this aspect.

Zhao Ji didn't know what ideology was, but as an emperor, he naturally understood that the smooth implementation and continuation of the new law depended on a stable theoretical foundation. Only for national affairs, the banner of Xinxue must not fall.

But Han Gang made it clear that he wanted to preach the correctness of Qi with empirical evidence, not only Xinxue, it can be said that many schools of Confucianism, none of them were missing, and he had the intention of stepping on the soles of his feet. The cruelty of the battle for Taoism is not much worse than the battle for domination of the world.

What to do? What to do?

Zhao Ji muttered in his heart.

Is it necessary to abolish the editorial bureau of the "Compendium of Materia Medica"? Or tell Han Gang that he just needs to compile the pharmacopoeia and stop making trouble for the imperial court.

But if he really did this, Han Gang would probably resign directly and go back to lecturing. Zhao Ji knows very well that such a trivial matter, a hard-tempered scholar can do it, and he may even be more excited, just like a cockfight that has been teased, it is impossible to let go without pecking two people, and it will be him, the emperor, who will be embarrassed at that time.

And if he is wrong, Qi Xue overwhelms Xinxue after many years, then when later generations correct it, the image of Zhao Ji left in the history books must be not far from Emperor Wu of Liang and Tang Xianzong, who advocated different principles.

There is also the matter of the imperial heir, with Han Gang, a disciple of the Medicine King, sitting in the capital, the safety of the imperial heir can also be guaranteed. Zhao Ji can suppress Han Gang in his position, thunder, rain and dew are all heavenly graces, this is the emperor's power, but he is unwilling to force Han Gang to resign.

After thinking about it again and again, Zhao Ji was recruited

"Publish "Zishuo" in the world and send it to Guozijian...... Also, starting tomorrow, the "Words Say" will be preached at the feast. ”

Although it is inconvenient to hinder Han Gang's promotion of qi science, as long as the way of advance and retreat of the imperial court is still in his hands, qi science can only be lectured outside, and he cannot enter the court. Zhao Ji wanted to see if when the book "Words and Sayings", the foundation of the "Three Classics and New Righteousness", was presented to the Son of Heaven, what tricks did Han Gang have to shake the status of Xinxue.

……………………

"The official family is pulling the shelf!"

Han Gang heard Zhao Ji's decision at home, and he could only smile and sigh at this.

"Official, doesn't it matter?" Yan Suxin asked Han Gang cautiously.

"What's the matter?" Han Gang didn't care, he took a grape on the plate in Yan Suxin's hand and ate it, "That's all the emperor can do, can he still kick out of the gang for his husband?" It doesn't look at how popular your sister is in the palace now. ”

Wang Yi has just returned from the palace, and this is the second time she has been invited to the palace by the queen in half a month. In any case, many of Han Gang's children are healthy and lively, and there is also a pox method to save the world's young children from the pain of pox and premature death, which is Wang Yi's biggest capital in the palace.

In the court, the empress and Concubine Zhu both hoped that Han Gang, the disciple of the Medicine King, could bless the healthy growth of the six princes. It was the Son of Heaven Zhao Ji himself, who let Han Gang take charge of the Department of Health and Welfare and the Imperial Medical Bureau, and naturally had a willingness to protect the emperor's heir.

Han Gang's performance in the medical path also indirectly promoted the development of qi science and strengthened the foundation of qi science. As long as the Son of Heaven still has the heart to consider the heirs, he will not dare to directly suppress Qixue. It is just that people are asked to give lectures on "Words and Words" at the scripture banquet, which proves this point.

The doctrines and articles that Qixue is now displayed in the eyes of the world are only competing for the Taoist system of Confucianism, and there is no rebellious intention to shake the rule of the imperial court, and it is not enough to need Confucius to punish Shaozheng Mao.

And it is the strongest weapon to prove it. Han Gang's advocacy of Gewu Zhizhi, the biggest advantage is empirical evidence, you can see it everywhere, you can easily verify it, and other schools, all with their own will to understand the heart of heaven, whether it is new learning, Cheng Xue, moral life, where is more intuitive than Gewu Zhizhi?

Han Gang looked at the palm of his right hand that was spread out, and clenched it proudly again. The situation in Confucianism has not deviated from the predicted track, and with the compilation of the "Compendium of Materia Medica", all the scriptures related to nature will have to be taken under the big sword of empirical evidence.

Nowadays, in order to compile the "Compendium of Materia Medica", medicinal materials are piled up in the house, and half of the rooms in the small courtyard of the Editorial Bureau are occupied by raw and cooked medicines.

Han Gang sniffed his clothes, even after taking a bath, he couldn't disperse, but the results of such a little price are willing to pay.
