Chapter 20: A Thousand Years of Mystery in the Soil (3)
Zhao Ji closed his eyes, and then opened them again, "Now in the editing bureau, how many dragon bones are there for Yin people's divination?" ”
"Something suspicious was found in the samples sent from the pharmacy before, and a team of people sent to Anyang to collect them easily bought more than 1,000 pieces from the local villagers, including two ritual vessels, in only five days." Su Song couldn't help but sigh, "The people of Anyang take the keel in the ground as a famous medicine for healing, calcine it into ashes and apply it to the wound. The keels that have been damaged over the years can be said to be countless. ”
Su Song's words were completely a retelling of Han Gang's words. Whether it is true or not, Su Song can't be sure. But if he can urge the Son of Heaven to keep the Yin Ruins and find the source of Confucianism, then he doesn't mind saying a few words about these innocuous lies...... Even if it's a deception.
Zhao Ji fell silent. Su Song waited quietly for the reply of the Son of Heaven.
Han Gang didn't say it explicitly, but Su Song was sure that he secretly influenced the pharmacy, so that the dragon bone sent was a relic of the Yin people, and it must be Han Gang. The whole set of dramas should be all held in Han Gang's palm.
Either Han Gang sets a strategy in advance, and his own meeting is at the right time; Either Han Gang's luck is so good that the sky is angry and people are resentful. has known Han Gang for a long time, and Su Song will only believe that it is the former. And no matter which possibility it is, it will have no impact on Han Gang's purpose and the result he wants.
After a long while, Zhao Ji finally spoke, and slowly reconfirmed: "There are more than a thousand pieces?" ”
"There's only going to be more buried in the ground." Su Song replied, "Your Majesty is clear, that is Yindu, the divination is only a part, and there are not a few sacrificial vessels." ”
……………………
"A few days ago, Han Gang sent someone to Anyang to confirm that the second batch of oracle bones had been sent to the capital yesterday, and there were more than 1,000 pieces now, as well as two Yin ritual vessels. And there will only be more buried in the ground. Han Gang is preparing to write a notebook for tomorrow. The oracle bones and ritual vessels in the Yin Ruins were excavated, and the books were compiled to show the ancient characters, divination, and Yin Shang etiquette. It's only been these two days. ”
Listening to Han Gang's words, Wang Qi closed his eyes and leaned on the chair weakly. Cai Qu shook his head, muttering at a loss of what he was talking about. The expressions on the faces of several other officials changed back and forth, wanting to believe it or not, but they didn't know how to refute Han Gang's words.
There are more than 1,000 oracle bones, as well as ritual weapons, Han Gang doesn't have the ability to do this even if he wants to cheat, he doesn't have the ability to do this in this world, he will do this, he doesn't have this ability.
From ancient times to the present, the forgery of the classics of the ancestors is all in the form of dedication. One book, two volumes, no more than five or ten volumes, where could anyone have such a big pen? One or two thousand pieces at a time, and more to be buried in the ground. It is not so easy to make those utensils old, let alone hide them from the local people. Even if it's a ruler or a giant family, they can't do it.
If there is more evidence underground, then it can be confirmed that it is a relic of Yin Shang. If "Words and Sayings" can't pass this hurdle, then even if there is an idea of the Son of Heaven, it will not help. Han Gang's stick was smashed too hard, not one book and two books, but Yin Shang once came to smash people. Ordinary meteorites and meteorites fall from the sky, but they are only the size of a fist, but this time it fell and it was a mountain!
'The new school is over. More than one person thinks so.
However, Han Gang worked hard to dig out the oracle bones of Yin people's divination from the ground, is he only preparing to be limited to "Zishuo" and "Zhou Yi"? Wang Qi and Cai are indeed not so underestimated.
Han Gang did exactly what they thought: "Confucius deleted the poems and books. The "Book of Songs" is an elegant song, and the first saints only left 300 articles, and the poems that circulated in the Shang and Zhou dynasties are tens of millions? There are 100 articles in the book, 20 in Yu Xia, and 40 in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but how many of the documents of the Xia and Shang dynasties in various styles have been deleted in the hands of the ancestors? ”
Cai did twist his body uncomfortably, and looked at Han Gang's eyes with even a little frightened. Among the "Six Classics", in addition to "Spring and Autumn", the other five scriptures, it seems that Han Gang is not ready to let go of any of them.
"But in the Yin Ruins, there may not be a chapter in the Book of Shang." Although he was refuting Han Gang, Wang Jue's voice was dry, as if he was the one who was refuted.
"That's true." Han Gang leaned forward slightly, looking like a humble reply, but it brought more oppression, "But it can be used to compare the words in the fragments of the "Book of Shang", and you can also get a lot from the choice of words and sentences. ”
Wang Jue's throat gurgled and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he didn't know what to say.
The ancient and modern controversy of "Shangshu" to this matter still does not have a definite statement, the Han people from the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, the head of the bloody fight, to the Sui and Tang dynasties, "Guwen Shangshu" has become a positive trace, but the current text has not declined too much, for the differences between the two families, Tang Confucianism and mud are many, to the Northern Song Dynasty, it is no longer the focus of Confucianism. But when Han Gang said this, it was tantamount to renewing the war between modern and ancient texts.
……………………
"In addition, there are "Three Tombs", "Five Classics", "Eight Suo", "Nine Hills", the three generations of classics have been scattered for thousands of years, if you can get one or two fragments in the Yin Ruins, it is also a thousand-year-old event of Confucianism."
The books of Fuxi, Shennong, and the Yellow Emperor are called three tombs; Shao Hao, Zhen Xu, Gao Xin, Tang, Yu Zhishu, called the Five Classics; The book of gossip is called the eight ropes; The ambition of Kyushu is called the nine hills.
These are the classics of the legendary Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and now you can only see a star and a half in the "Book of Shang". Zuo Qiu Ming wrote "Zuo Chuan", saying that he had seen these hand-me-downs, but there was no detailed explanation in "Zuo Chuan" after all.
What does the rule of three generations look like? The official system, the military system, the field system, and the names of the criminal punishments can only be known by future generations from the books of the pre-Qin period, or from historical books such as "Historical Records", and they cannot determine the authenticity of the system.
Zhao Ji couldn't see anything unusual on his face, but his left hand pressed on the imperial case was trembling imperceptibly, and it was fully seen by Su Song.
"The rule of three generations has been very controversial for thousands of years, and there are even a few people who make it up at will, and even make it difficult to distinguish the true from the false. Su Shi's 'three of killing', with Ouyang Xiu's talent, he didn't know its falsity. The Yin people are different, Yin Shang respects the heavens and ghosts, and divination is also presented to the sky, not to deceive people. In terms of divination, there will be no falsehood. ”
……………………
After a long call, Han Gang drank tea with a dry mouth. sneered in his heart, and if he wanted to rely on "Words to Say" to seize the interpretation of exegesis, then explain the oracle bone inscription first. Want to rely on "Yi Chuan" to compete for unity? The merchant's divination is on the bones and turtle shells, so let's compare the words in "Zhou Yi" first.
As long as the oracle bone inscriptions in the Yin Ruins can be interpreted, the dispute between the ancient and modern texts of the "Book of Shang" may be proven. And the "Book of Music", which has been scattered, may also be able to be partially deduced from the merchant's music.
This is the big cake drawn by Han Gang, the bones thrown out. Confucianism and Taoism, in this way, will be more fiercely contested. However, the theory of qi science can be unique and cannot be shaken by anyone. As long as it is holding the physical archaeology, it is Gewu, when Han Gang threw out the oracle bone inscription, the four words Gewu Zhizhi have been printed on the oracle bone science.
As soon as the oracle bone inscription came out, Confucianism was inevitably going to have a big earthquake, even though Confucius said that he was depressed and depressed. But where did Zhou's system and writing come from?
Is it to prevaricate with the phrase 'saints are born to know', or has it been handed down from the three emperors and five emperors, from Xia to Shang, from Shang to Zhou?
Which side of the argument is more convincing, it is not necessary to think too much.
……………………
Su Song watched Zhao Ji's face change suddenly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was really a hard job. But seeing the dumbfounded appearance of the Son of Heaven, there was a little happiness in his selfish heart.
Shiqu Pavilion debated righteousness, the White Tiger observed and discussed the Five Classics, and the two meetings that opened up Confucianism and righteousness, although it was a prosperous era through the ages, it was not said that the Son of Heaven personally chose a side. The emperor should be impartial, how can he pull the shelf?
Wang Anshi changed the law for the first time, and once asked Zhao Ji to follow the law for three generations, not to learn from Li Shimin. So when thousands of oracle bones in Anyang Yin Ruins were unearthed, the tripod vessels used by the Yin people were excavated one by one, can they be thrown aside and ignored?
Even the Son of Heaven cannot reverse the hearts of the people and the general trend.
This is also the usefulness of empirical evidence. Being able to speak in real objects is always more convincing than just a book. From the oracle bone inscription to the large and small seals, to the Han Li, and then to today's regular script, this line of evolution can be confirmed as long as you look at the glyphs. It is not comparable to the "Word Saying" that uses regular script to interpret words.
……………………
Han Gang sipped tea to moisten his throat and let Wang Jue, Cai Qu and others digest this amazing news.
The study of gold and stone is the manifestation of Confucianism in today's Confucianism, and Confucianism has studied a lot. Even if Zhao Ji wants to ignore it, so many quantities, don't want to hide it from the world.
Today's people worship the ancients, and now it can be regarded as a peaceful and prosperous era, and there are countless scholars who have worked gold and stone. Tens of thousands of oracle bones for merchant divination are much stronger than hundreds of stone drum inscriptions on just ten stone piers, and a craze for studying Yin Shang culture can arise in a blink of an eye.
Yin Shang is far closer to the three generations of saint kings of Yao Shunyu in ancient times, but it is much closer than the Song Dynasty two thousand years later, and of course closer to the law of three generations. The world still worships the ancients, so it is more qualified than which one is older.
Han Gang is also not very clear about the oracle bone inscription, but other Confucians also don't understand, just arguing about the meaning of the oracle bone inscription is enough for many schools of thought to fight for decades, as for the "Word Saying", who else cares?
This is where Han Gang's hole cards are, since Xinxue uses the monarch's power to suppress people, then one shot and two scattered, flipped the table, and everyone played from scratch together!
After a few decades, when the time comes, it must be qi science to survive safely. Han Gang has this self-confidence.
All he lacks is time!
