"Good book!"

Sima Guang looked at the "Origin of Species" handed over by Lao Chongtou, the earthy yellow hard cover is printed with various animals such as lions, tigers, wolves, deer, monkeys, chickens, etc., and the four pavilions in the center are written in large characters "Origin of Species", the whole appearance is integrated, and it looks like a work of art.

"Xiangye, this is a hardcover, the price is expensive, and it costs fifty taels a copy. ”

"Fifty taels?" Sima Guang took the book's hand and looked at Lao Chongtou suspiciously. Lao Chongtou smiled and said: "Don't worry, Xiangye, how can I spend money indiscriminately, this hardcover, others buy it for fifty taels, but Xiangye, you, Lu Xianggong, Mr. Yichuan, Wen Xianggong, etc., only charge 100 Wen." ”

"It's not worth spending fifty taels for a book. Sima Guang said lightly, took the book, and walked to the desk.

"Duan Haifeng is a subversive demon king, and Qin Xianao is also a demon head, these two people smell the same, I am afraid that the point of view of this book is ......" Sima Guang was nervous and excited, sat at the desk, slowly opened the book, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"This book is forbidden!"

On the first page are written these four bright red characters in large Song characters, and there is nothing else.

"Forbidden reading again?" Sima Guang's heart was even heavier.

The last time "Principles of Ethics" also wrote that this book was forbidden to read, although Sima Guang himself read the whole book without any accidents and discomfort, but the other bigwigs of the Confucian Alliance were almost all injured, and even Han Jiang died on that book.

"The last time the book was too abstract, so it took a lot of effort to read it, plus the point of view...... This is what makes people enchanted, this one ...... How is that possible!" Sima Guang smiled and turned his head to look to the side: "Kang'er, this book may have some subversive views, you pay attention." Don't sink too deep to avoid straining. ”

On the side, Sima Kang looked at Sima Guang suspiciously, although he also held a copy of "The Origin of Species", it was an ordinary copy.

"I wrote the words 'This book is forbidden to read' at the beginning of this book. After Sima Guang finished speaking, he retracted his gaze and slowly turned the page.

"Special thanks!" is a foreword on this page.

"The examples in this book are all provided by a strange woman, this woman is called Yuwen Rou Niang!"

"Yuwen Rou Niang?" Sima Guang was stunned. Yuwen Rou Niang learned medical skills from the imperial doctor as a ** body, and later married Wang Gong, and was quite famous in her early years, but what really made Yuwen Rou Niang famous in the world was one thing - Wutai poetry case.

When Wang Anshi implemented the change, the change was unfavorable, and Su Shi wrote a poem at that time:

Awe-inspiring relative dare to bully each other, and it is not surprising to do it directly in the air.

Hate to the nine springs without bends, only the dragon in the world knows.

This is a poem that borrows from objects to express nostalgia. It was originally to show that he had the character of being as upright and unyielding as a cypress tree, but he was accused of having a disobedient meaning by the Fa Changer, which led to a series of prisons and derogations, not only Su Shi himself was degraded, Sima Guang and many others were also implicated, and the most innocent and the most severely punished was Wang Gong, who was degraded to Lingnan to live and suffer.

But years later. When Wang Gong returned, he was as young as a few years younger. And the reason for this is that it was his concubine Yuwen Rouniang who followed Wang Gong to Lingnan, so Su Shi wrote a poem praising Yuwen Rouniang.

"Is it the woman who 'this place of peace is my hometown', how could she be with Duan Haifeng?" Sima Guang's eyes flashed with doubts, and then turned to the next page, this is the 'preface' written by Qin Xianao, and after this preface is Duan Haifeng's self-preface. Sima Guang read the preface, and gradually his expression became solemn.

There is a Taishi chair under the porch of the back garden of Lu Mansion, Lu Gongzhi sits on the chair, there is a tea set on the front of him, and Lu Gong leisurely opens the hardcover book "The Origin of Species" in his hand. His gaze was fixed, and he fell on the words 'this book is forbidden to be read', and after a slight pause, he closed the book and looked at the servant next to him.

"Go, light a burner of incense. ”

"Yes!"

Soon there was little sandalwood, and Lu Gongzhu took a sip of fragrant tea, and then slowly opened the book in his hand and read it, and gradually Lu Gongzhu's expression was solemn, and his body collapsed, and it took a long time.

"Serve tea!" "Yes, master!" Lu Gongzhu closed his eyes and rested for a while, took a sip of hot tea, and read again, and soon, his body collapsed again, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Whew!" a long breath came out of Lu Gong's mouth. "Tea!" Lu Gongzhu's voice was a little hoarse, and there was a look of shock in his eyes.

"The views he said, no matter how messy they are, are nothing, but ......" Lu Gong's writings are well-informed, calculating, and I have never seen any views, and the views in "The Origin of Species" are like 'species are not immutable', 'Species are not created by God', etc., although they subvert such and such views, but Lu Gong's writings do not think so.

It is not uncommon for them to have different ideas fighting or opposing each other, and they are in conflict with each other, and what is this?

"This book is different, I have never seen such detailed, full, and rigorous arguments from other schools...... "The real power of this book is the variety of convincing arguments."

Time passes.

The old servant Lu Zhishou had been waiting beside him, and his brows were furrowed at this moment.

Although the last time I read "Principles of Ethics", something happened, but afterwards, my mood went to a higher level, and I finished reading the book peacefully. Lu Zhishou looked at Lu Gongzhu, and at this time, Lu Gong's forehead was full of white mist, and his fingers trembled slightly.

"Master!" Lu Zhishou added tea.

Lu Gongzhu put down the book and held the tea with trembling hands. "Bang!" The teacup was crushed, and Lu Gongzhu closed his eyes slightly: "What a subversive demon king, Zhifang, guess what this is written?"

"Master, Gongzi Qin and Gongzi Duan are demon kings descended from heaven, what good things can they write. Lu Zhishou said with a smile.

"No, they are very well written, and the old man has never seen such a rigorous argument in his life, and so eye-opening, except for the "Principles of Ethics", that he knows that it is wrong, but he feels that it seems to be right. Lu Gongzhu said in a low voice.

If you read the articles and ideas of other schools, and see those views that are different from your own school ideas, Lu Gongshu can easily find your confidence in your mind, but this one ......

Lu Gongzhu's eyes fell on the book and read it word by word.

"I've collected a lot of facts......"

"Dioecious animal and plant ......"

......

"The Origin of Species" was published in the Darwinian period, when biology was already very good, but in this era, although the points to be proved in this "Origin of Species" are only so many, the knowledge involved in geography and geological changes, climatology, genetics, biology, physics, chemistry and other disciplines is very large and rich.

After all, this is proof that "The Origin of Species" is a very big subject in itself. After all, how each species mutates and evolves, which involves human society, physical geography, climate, temperature, humidity, air pressure, the biological chain between various other animals and plants, behavioral rules, etc., how can the knowledge be small.

Of course, no matter how huge the knowledge involved here is, it may not be very obvious to ordinary people.

After all, knowledge, no matter how great a discovery, is nothing once it is said, the periodic table is nothing more than that, atoms, protons, and electrons are nothing more than that, but before they are discovered, they are thrown out for the first time...... Ordinary people don't feel much, but Lu Gongzhu is a real thinker.

But he wanted to find the loophole of "The Origin of Species", and this time, he thought about it more, and the more he thought about it, the more shocked he became.

"If you want to really refute him completely, you must tell him every knowledge point, and these ......" Lu Gongshu looked at the various natural science knowledge that emerged one after another, and his heart beat like a drum, these knowledge points were all things that he Lu Gongshu never knew.

It's ridiculous.

A scholar who has been rich in five cars, has read books all his life, thought about his studies all his life, and really started a family and founded the founder of the Fan Lu School, he is actually less than a doll in learning.

There is still so much I don't understand about nature.

Originally, he didn't understand all kinds of phenomena in the natural world, but Lu Gongzhu didn't feel that there was anything wrong, the sages of the past dynasties, and the masters of various factions today, such as Sima Guang, Cheng Yi, Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi...... Does anyone know anything about the natural world?

But Duan Haifeng understands it, Qin Xianao understands it, and uses it as evidence to prove some unacceptable views.

In this comparison, Lu Gongzhu saw the gap.

Reading "The Origin of Species", Lu Gongzhu's mind was surging.

"Wrong! He must be wrong here!"

"No, he has a point, and these are correct!"

"It turns out that this plant is male and female, no, how can a creature be male and female, but ......" ideas clashed in his mind, and Lu Gong's face became more and more ugly-

At this moment, Cheng Yi is in the house.

In the middle of the study, Cheng Yi's eyes were red, and his eyes were staring at the book "The Origin of Species" in his hand.

"How so?"

"How can Duan Haifeng know so much at a young age? Are all the natural biological knowledge he talks about in this book true? But if it is fake, then it is even more impossible to ......."

Not to mention the views in the book, it is to demonstrate the various knowledge involved in the views, which makes Cheng Yi feel shocked again and again, Cheng Yi will never think that these are all made up by Duan Haifeng, after all, Duan Haifeng is a person from the martial arts world, he has entered the cabinet three times in half a year, and has made great contributions to the longevity formula, and the influence on the concept of sex will never be inferior to Dong Zhongshu in the future.

It is impossible for such a person to fake, and even if there is a fake, it can only be that he is not knowledgeable, not deliberately fake.

"Even if he is wrong about all this knowledge, but we want to overturn ......" Cheng Yi shook his head, the biology, geography and geology, climatology, genetics, etc. involved in these books, it is difficult to find out the principle first, but after being discovered, it is easy to prove whether there is a mistake in the book.

"Since what he says in him is basically not wrong, doesn't it mean that his point of view is correct......

Cheng Yi gritted his teeth and read page by page, frantically thinking about various possibilities in his heart, looking for loopholes in the arguments in the book, and suddenly he shuddered violently - "Man is changed from a monkey?" (to be continued. )
