【2nd Update】

Ten days.

Tokyo is 450 miles from Luoyang. It usually takes five days for the news in the city of Tokyo to reach Luoyang, Xijing. It also takes five days to send the general recitals and official documents from Luoyang to the capital.

Sima Guang asked the imperial court to send a special person to protect and excavate the Yin Ruins, and appeared in the Tongjin Yintai Division with the text of the Ming Dynasty's first king, only ten days had passed since Han Gang and Su Song announced the news about the Yin Ruins and the oracle bone inscriptions.

It is impossible to shorten the time for the delivery of official documents, even half a day. It's not a military situation, it is impossible to use horses and hurried feet, ordinary foot delivery and laying soldiers, and they will never be idle and have nothing to do.

In any case, the speed of sending the news from Tokyo to Luoyang will not be reduced to less than three days.

Two days, one day, maybe even one night, let Sima Guang write the recital. This time can be said to be very little for a piece of thousands of words, but Sima Guang still wrote it.

Not only Sima Guang, but also Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, Fan Zhen and other Luoyang ministers also wrote chapters. However, Fu Bi's recital is said to be just a thank you note, thanking Zhao Ji for the medicine he gave some time ago, but it is also said that like Wen Yanbo and Sima Guang and others, they all want to take the opportunity to step on Wang Anshi.

Being able to alarm this cadre was also expected by Han Gang. After all, the opportunity is rare, after all, I have been aggrieved in Luoyang for many years.

Xinxue is an official school, which controls the power of Confucian scholars to enter the officialdom. It is impossible to push it off the stage in a short period of time. In addition to the Son of Heaven's support for Xinxue, on the other hand, neither Qi nor Chengmen Taoism has yet to have a new commentary on the Confucian classics that is as systematic as the Three Classics and New Meanings.

But for Han Gang, even if it is impossible to shake the position of Xinxue in controlling the official school for a while, he must not let Xinxue control Confucianism and Taoism in his hands. Once given to the new school to gain a firm foothold. In a hundred and ten years, Han Gang estimated that only the violent turmoil of losing half of the country could shake the authoritative position of Xinxue.

"It's not an academic battle after all." Sitting in the small courtyard of his home, Han Gang was holding a piece of withered yellow sycamore leaves, and it was already late autumn and close to winter.

Although it is also a dispute over Taoism, it is more determined by politics. There is a huge difference between the weight of academia and politics between one finger and nine fingers.

The new law, the new study, and the new party are one, and cracking down on the new study is to crack down on the new law and the new party. Zhao Ji has no intention of changing the new law, but wants to maintain the current stable situation, so that no one will be allowed to shake the status of the new school. However, in the same way, there is an opportunity to attack the new law and the new party by cracking down on the new school, and the people in the old party will not let go of such a good opportunity.

"Official," Zhou Nan peeled the chestnuts on the side of the table, cut the shell with scissors, and put the golden chestnuts one by one in Han Gang's hand, "Yinxu's matter, what step does the official plan to do?" ”

Yan Suxin and Han Yunniang are sewing winter clothes for several children in the family by hand, although it is completely unnecessary, but it is also a way to pass the time on weekdays. Zhou Nan asked, and the needlework in his hands stopped.

Wang Yi sat on the kang and looked at the book, not looking at Han Gang's side, but the action of turning the book also stopped after hearing this sentence.

Although Wang Yi was not angry with Han Gang, he had been in a bad mood for several days, and even Han Gang couldn't do anything about it.

Han Gang glanced at his wife, "It's best to revoke the ban on the clairvoyant mirror." ”

Glancing at the expressions of his wives and concubines who suddenly became surprised, he smiled again and said, "Of course, this is impossible, the face of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court still has to be taken into account...... Not for at least three or five years. And even after three or five years, if you want to lift the ban, you have to have a suitable excuse. For example, Liao can already produce its own clairvoyant mirrors or something. ”

After all, the clairvoyant mirror is not a weapon that can be used to fight, and the people have hard crossbows, armor and long-pole weapons, which can be used to organize the army. As for observing the celestial phenomena, as long as it does not involve the weft, let the court turn a blind eye and it will be mixed.

But Zhou Nan seemed to have misunderstood, and covered his mouth in shock: "Official, are you going to pass the clairvoyant mirror to the Liaoren?!" ”

Han Gang was stunned for a moment before he understood, shook his head and smiled: "Don't get me wrong, don't underestimate the Liao people, let alone mention that it is Yelu Yixin who is now in power in the Liao Kingdom." Relying on the spaceship, he has already taken advantage of it. In terms of pox seeding, I also enjoyed enough benefits. The sled car was more widely used in the Liao Kingdom than in the Great Song Dynasty, so how could he give up imitating the clairvoyant? ”

"Wouldn't that be a long time to wait?" Yan Suxin asked.

"Yes, so the matter of the ban, I can only accept my fate first, and now I just ask the court not to interfere too much in the future." Han Gang threw the chestnuts into his mouth one by one, "If it is only academic, I am not afraid of anyone, and Qi science is not inferior to any school." ”

Han Gang's bold words made Wang Yi even more silent, and Zhou Nan seemed to change the atmosphere and asked Han Gang: "What do officials want the Son of Heaven to do?" ”

"Let the Son of Heaven consider this matter, and you can't be a courtier." Han Gang smiled, "As long as you are willing to excavate Yin Ruins, you can do it." ”

Although he said so, his solution to the mystery of Yinxu, as well as the recitals of Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo and others, are actually manifestations of not taking the Son of Heaven too seriously. Otherwise, you should learn from Wang Jue, what the emperor says, that's what it is.

All the courtiers who can often face the Son of Heaven know that the so-called emperor is just an ordinary person, but they are in awe of the power of life and death represented by the emperor, and the hidden rebellious thoughts are only different in degree.

"In this way, the Yin Ruins will be destroyed in one fell swoop." Wang Yi put down the book, "Officials know that the tomb robbers in the world will never let go of Yin Ruins." ”

"Yinxu is a capital, and if Captain Jinjin wants to destroy a capital, it will take dozens or hundreds of years."

The problem of tomb robbers does exist, but Han Gang will not come forward to urge the Son of Heaven to make a decision as soon as possible. He had done enough before, and he continued to make moves, but it would be too much, and even attract the rebellion of the Son of Heaven.

Han Qi's family is in Anyang, and more than half of the land in Anyang is under the name of the Han family, and it is not so easy for outsiders to rob tombs. If you're unlucky, you'll be caught by the local armor. However, the local people, digging on the spot, and then selling the cultural relics to foreign antique dealers, such a hindsight can never be forbidden, let alone in this era.

As for archaeology, Han Gang only knows a little bit of common sense that is not even superficial, such as the excavation site like a nine-square grid, such as the strata arranged by time, and through the remnants of the ruins, you can speculate about the social system and architectural system at that time. But the details are not enough.

However, Han Gang is more aware that the protection measures of archaeology during the excavation of relics are gradually improving in continuous practice. In order for archaeology to truly be called a discipline with depth, rather than being excavated by people at will, only caring for and studying the excavated artifacts, a large amount of on-site accumulation is required. And this time, if the imperial court can organize excavations, it should be able to sum up a large number of archaeological site excavation experience, and it can also attract a large number of Confucian scholars who study gold and stone.

It's just that the antiques of the golden era in the troubled times, those who can play with gold and stone are not ordinary Confucian scholars, all of them are rich and idle masters. Archaeology is a thing that can only be studied in peacetime, but in troubled times, survival and production are the most important topics at the forefront.

This generation may not be a troubled era, but if it continues to develop, most of them will not be able to avoid falling into troubled times. So he hopes to make a bigger impact as soon as possible.

Of course, these are also self-exculpatory words. From the heart, Han Gang values people and light things. On one side are the Yin Shang monuments, and on the other side are ordinary people, and the two are put together to let Han Gang choose which side to save, and Han Gang is definitely choosing people rather than things.

However, Han Gang can completely say that he learned from the practice of Confucius and imitated the sage. The materials that have survived for three generations have been reduced to 100 articles and compiled into the "Book of Shang". From the Shang and Zhou royal families, to the vassal states, and then to the people, thousands of poems were collected, and after deletion and revision, only 300 were left, which were compiled into the "Book of Songs". There is also "Spring and Autumn", the history of the Lu State, which was also greatly deleted and changed by Confucius, in order to seek subtle words and righteousness, in line with the purpose of Confucianism. A large number of original materials were discarded and destroyed, and modified into words that suited his own wishes, all of which were done by Confucius.

The education he received in his previous life, as well as the conceit of the Central Country, which filled every corner of the world and could be felt every day after coming to this era, made Han Gang absolutely unable to tolerate the repetition of the history of that world.

Han Gang thinks highly of himself, at least he doesn't lack a sense of mission to change the future, even though it may not exist. In Han Gang's mind, the past is not unimportant, but it is far less important than the present and the future. In the face of the righteousness that pressed everything, the sacrifice of a mere Yin Ruin, Han Gang felt that it was worth it, this exchange was too cheap. If it was human life that was sacrificed, Han Gang would inevitably hesitate, but if it was an ancient relic, he had no psychological barrier at all.

If the future of this world is still repeating the past, then what is the point of leaving the legacy of the ancestors underground? Decorate your own study for the extraterritorial barbarians after a thousand years? Or is it displayed in a museum along with the shame of a great civilization?

Dunhuang was also taken down, but Han Gang did not move the idea of the treasures hidden in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. He made a clear distinction between meaningful sacrifice and meaningless waste.

Although history has been determined to change, and even if the Jurchens can rise, it is impossible to replicate the history of the past, but no one can guarantee that there will be no other problems. If you want to ensure that you can go in the direction that Han Gang wants in the future, then you must let him be able to play his strength as soon as possible.

Han Gang didn't have time to delay, what he lacked was time.
