Chapter 39: Returning the Rain to the Sunny Advice (12)

[I've been delayed by various things, I'm really sorry for my friends, but the three watches won't change, and I'll be driven out sooner. 】

Su Songzheng was wearing glasses, just turned on the light, and looked at a manuscript that had just been sent to him.

It is said to be an analysis of the five-star retrograde record.

This article is well-documented, the argument is accurate, and the conclusion is consistent with the past discussions between Han Gang and Su Song. The six stars of water, metal, earth, fire, wood, and earth orbit the sun, and because of the different speeds of orbiting, it seems that the movement of the five stars in the sky has so many changes. He also predicted the time of the next retrograde stars, as well as their position in the sky.

Su Song nodded in appreciation from time to time, it was rare to see a paper of such a high level. Let's take a look at the signature, named Han Gonglian.

The keeper of the officer's room under the Zhongshu Gate is just a clerk.

It's not the first time Su Song has seen this name, and in the first two issues, there was also an article by Han Gonglian, which talked about the design of a hydraulic chronometer. However, that article was very interesting, but the text was a little messy, and Su Song spent a lot of effort to help him sort it out, and then publish it. It was also learned from this that the identity of this author was learned.

Nature's reputation gradually grew, and so did the number of manuscripts sent in, and the genre varied. There are those who say flowers, birds, insects, and fish. There are also those who say astronomy and geography. There are also some equipment modifications, such as glasses and clairvoyance. There are also agricultural studies such as rice and wheat.

These articles are all conclusions reached by gathering the wisdom of many people. Nature not only publishes other people's papers, but also publishes its own articles, often offering rewards for seeking a rational explanation for a natural phenomenon.

However, the quality of the papers sent to the editorial office of Nature varies. Most of the problems are that they don't know how to write a paper, they write it as an essay.

The most typical is the article by Fang Cai Su Songcai, which said that Luoyang Longmen Grottoes. The whole article is talking about Longmen, Yishui, grottoes, Buddha statues, the cause of play, time, and characters are not lacking, until the most rear, the topic changed, saying: The reason why Emperor Wei Wendi chose to dig grottoes in Longmen is because of its high cliffs and the victory of mountains and rivers.

It's all about what it is.

But a lot of the articles that come in have this problem. Su Song could only ask the staff to write back letters one by one and return the manuscript.

Generally speaking, as long as the structure of the paper is fine, even if the conclusion is obviously wrong, Su Song will publish it.

It has been said before that fish bladders have fish bladders, so they can float when swallowed, and sink when they exhale, and if the swim bladder is broken, the fish will sink to the bottom. The authors of the paper also conducted an experiment in which they were asked to puncture the swim bladders of live fish with a needle, and then threw them into the water tank, without exception, they could no longer float.

Su Song revised the text and prepared to publish it, although he thought that the conclusion was wrong-he was born in Quanzhou, Fujian, and he had seen a lot of fish without swim bladders-but as long as it was published, some people would come out to refute it.

Just like the two papers sent from different places two days ago, they are to refute an article about the dark shadow between Japan and China in the previous two issues. Although the words in the article are very intense, there is no court to put the truth aside and directly attack the other party's statements.

It's a good feeling.

Su Song is really grateful to Han Gang. Without Hangang's proposal, there would be no journal Nature. Without Nature, there would be no manuscripts that arrive at my door every day.

can see fresh papers every day, Su Songdu would rather not go out and do things. It's okay to stay home all day. As long as there are these articles to read, Su Song is willing not to go out for the rest of his life.

"Your Excellency."

Su Song was thinking so, and his son Su Jia pushed the door in.

"Put things down first, I'll eat later." Su Song didn't raise his head and continued to read his article.

Su Jia looked at the small table on the side, and Su Song didn't touch the food on it. It was brought in half an hour ago.

"My lord, let's eat first." He whispered admonishment.

"There's no hurry." Su Song raised his head a little impatiently, but saw his son holding a stack of name cards in his hand, and then he realized that Su Jia was not here to deliver food, "What's the matter?" ”

"Someone has come to give gifts again, and there are more than thirty today." Su Jia was confused, hoping that Su Song could give an explanation, "My lord, what happened?" ”

Su Song is a Qingshui Yamen, there is no benefit, although the seniority is old, but it has nothing to do with the few governors who stayed in the court, not to mention that there are many people in the court on weekdays, but it is by no means a situation where dozens of people can come to the door to give gifts in a day - there are more fellow villagers who fight the autumn wind.

Of course, Su Jia didn't understand that there was such a change all of a sudden.

Su Songzhi said that his son doesn't like to call friends, and he mostly hides at home and reads on weekdays. In the past, Su Jia was not such a character, but after suffering a big loss, he became like this.

In the early years of Xining, the new law was first practiced, and Su Jia studied in Taixue. At that time, the academic officials were biased towards the old party, and came up with a question, asking Wang Mang and Wu Zhou to change the law. Su Jia followed Su Song, who had a lot of complaints about the change of the law at that time, and was young and vigorous, and an article strongly criticized the new law, and then was rated as excellent in the school. This one thing stabbed the hornet's nest. Guozijian was purged from top to bottom, all the scholars were expelled, and Su Jia also suffered a lot.

Zhilu Dao was used as a tool for party struggle, and from then on, Su Jia's character was steady but silent, and he didn't go to the Jinshi exam anymore, so he stayed by Su Song's side. If you don't have any friends, you won't be well informed.

However, Su Song knew what the Dao was for. Even if there is no official news yet, combined with the rumors heard during this time, as well as the small words that came into my ears yesterday and today, I can more or less guess a little. But the official edict has not yet been issued, and there is no need to expect too much.

It's just that some people's noses are too powerful. Su Song hadn't reacted yet, so he came to visit one by two, wanting to get acquainted with each other as soon as possible and make a little friendship.

In fact, the drastic changes in the past two days made Su Song feel a little unhappy.

It's not that the Zaifu are doing something wrong, but in this way, the atmosphere of the imperial court is likely to develop in a very bad direction.

The Zai Fu colluded to force the Son of Heaven to abdicate when he was ill, perhaps for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty. But this situation is the same as the situation after Emperor Tang Ming abdicated and was imprisoned in Taiji Palace.

In the end, it is difficult to say whether Xuanzong died at the end of his life or died at the hands of Li Fuguo. Xuanzong died, and Suzong died, only twelve days away. And before that, Li Fuguo had already begun to support the new emperor.

Li Fuguo helped Suzong to persecute Xuanzong before. Su Zong established himself as emperor, and in the case of Li Fuguo and his lackeys, the reverence for the emperor was extremely low. This is what the Tang Emperor became a protégé after the Anshi Rebellion.

"I supported King Shou in Jing Zhen, and I had such a negative protégé to give birth to the Son of Heaven, and I was honored with the throne, but I abolished the old man of the country."

This is what Yang Fugong, the eunuch of the late Tang Dynasty, said, when Emperor Zhaozong, whom he supported, asked him to pay tribute to him, and he had such a complaint.

regard himself as the elder of the country, and regard the Son of Heaven as his protégé.

Just a eunuch, his words and deeds are so domineering, in other words, today, not to mention whether he can do anything to 'help' the Son of Heaven, that is, he has made a decision, and if he dares to have grievances afterwards, it will not end well.

But this is the result of the abolition of the Son of Heaven by the ministers and chamberlains, so that the Son of Heaven has no authority and no hope.

Courtesy, righteousness and shame, the four dimensions of the country, the four dimensions are not open, and the country is destroyed.

When people's hearts are corrupted, they can never be restored.

Today's things, of course, are still far from falling to the point of 'protégé of heaven' and 'deciding the elder of the country'. It is not impossible to prevent the slightest problem from today, and it will become a situation in the late Tang Dynasty in the future.

That is, Wang Anshi and Han Gang, after participating in the support of the Son of Heaven, resigned from their respective positions, which in Su Song's view, this is commendable, but it is to redeem some bad influences.

Han Gang seemed to have recommended himself to the two mansions, but Su Song had no intention of asking Han Gang right now. Come to think of it, I'm going to wait a while before I talk about it.

He looked at his dazed son, ready to let Su Jia be confused for a few more days. suddenly became the ruler's yainai, and Su Song didn't know if his second son could maintain his original state of mind.

"Your Excellency!"

With the voice, Su Song's sixth son, Su, was brought into Su Song's study, panting and sweating.

"Sixth brother! Can't tap your hands and feet?! ”

Seeing that his younger brother almost rushed in, Su Jia frowned, and just scolded.

"Second brother."

Seeing that the brother who was usually the most fearful was also there, Su Xian was startled and immediately became disciplined.

"Look at you, what this looks like." Always managing the family on behalf of Su Song, Su Jia unceremoniously counted his younger brother, "How old are you, can't you be more steady?" ”

Seeing that his younger brother was honestly listening to the training, Su Jia's tone softened a little, "What happened to him, how did he become reckless." ”

"Second brother, you still don't know what to do. Outside it is said that Han Shumi recommended the adult as the deputy privy envoy, and also recommended Shen Kuo as the third envoy, and I came back as soon as I heard about it in Xixi Building. Su Xian's face bloomed with a smile and rubbed his hands, "When I came in just now, there were cars and horses outside, and it didn't look like a rumor." ”

When Su Jia heard this, he was startled, and after the shock, he was overjoyed, and the people who rushed to give gifts turned out to be because of this.

He turned his head and asked Su Song, "My lord, seriously?!" ”

"It's not a score, wait for the news." Su Song spoke impatiently.

He didn't expect his sons to be as stable as Han Gang, who was not much different in age, but he had to be a little bit of a pampering and not shocking temperament.

"Second brother." Su Song raised his head and said to Su Jia, "The gifts you accept are all made in a book, and those that are too valuable will be returned." Then restrain the family well, don't talk nonsense to the outside world, and don't swagger through the market, otherwise, the family law will not be spared. ”

Su Jia was stared at by Su Song with a wit,

"Sixth brother. Su Song looked at his youngest son again, "From now on, stay at home, and when you finish copying the Han book, you will be allowed to go out." ”

"The Book of Han?!" Su Xiang cried out in his heart, "It's too much." ”

Su Song's eyes widened, and he shouted: "Then add another copy of "Historical Records"!" ”

drove the two sons out of the city, looking at the unopened letterheads on the table, Su Song sighed after a long time, "It's really disturbing and quiet." ”
