Chapter 479: Eclipse Cycle
Confucianism claims that heaven and man are sensitive, the monarch is divinely endowed, and the heavens are high, and how to give instructions to the world can only be warned through various disasters.
If the Mo family is allowed to reveal the secret of the Tiangu Eclipse Day like an artificial rainbow, then the Confucian claim of the induction of heaven and man may become a joke, which is why Quan Wanji is still strong even if he knows that the occasion is wrong.
"When the tengu eats the sun, there is no day, the stars are shining, the day and night are reversed, and the people are terrified, thinking that the tengu is eating the sun, and they beat gongs and drums in an attempt to drive away the tengu, which is the tengu eclipse day." Merton Road.
"This is a warning from heaven, but it is just for my subjects to reflect on themselves, why not?" Quan Wanji argued.
Merton said in a cold voice: "Warning from heaven? In the past dynasties, whenever a disaster occurred, hundreds of officials in the court were shaken, the Han Dynasty, the locusts transited, the Sikong went, the earth dragon turned over, the Taiwei was exempted, the heavenly dog ate the day, and the prime minister dismissed the official, and now my Datang has defeated the flood and drought and locust plague again and again, and now it seems that those who were dismissed from office Sikong and Sima are so innocent. Merton sneered.
"It's the mediocrity of the Western Han Dynasty, if Zi Shengming is today, there will naturally be no such absurd thing." Quan Wanji slapped his ass quietly.
"Then if there is a dog eating day in early May, what does Quan think is the reason? Could it be that God is dissatisfied with my Datang? Merton asked, raising an eyebrow.
Quan Wanji sneered, and said unfooledly: "Not to mention whether there will be a solar eclipse on the first day of the fifth month, even if there is a solar eclipse, it is not just a matter of encouragement." ”
"What if a solar eclipse is like a rainbow and just a natural phenomenon?" Merton asked.
Quan Wanji suddenly sneered and said: "If your Mo family can create a solar eclipse in public, this official will see you retreat in the future." ”
Merton shook his head and said: "Naturally, you can't create a solar eclipse below, but if there is light, it will be bright, and if there is no light, it will be dark, which is the most reasonable thing in the world." When the tengu eats the moon, the sky is pitch black, the stars appear, and the day and night are reversed, but in Mo's view, the reason why the night comes is that it also falls into the Yu Valley and is blocked by the 100,000 mountains in the west. ”
With a wave of his hand, the curtain that had just been removed slowly rose again, this time the curtain had stopped covering only half of the venue, half of the whole venue was under the sun, and the other half was in shadow, and even in some dark corners, it was extremely dim, not much different from the scene of the night.
Li Shimin looked at the half-bright and half-dark venue, and his heart couldn't help but move, and he vaguely grasped something.
As soon as Merton took a step, he crossed the junction of light and darkness, and from the shadow of the sun, he said proudly: "Light and shadow together, the Mo family dares to say second, and no one in the world dares to call it first." ”
This is justified in what Morton said, because in Datang, I am afraid that there is no second research on optics except for the Mo family, and Merton's small hole imaging, reading glasses, myopia glasses, sunglasses, plus artificial rainbows, all amazing achievements have attracted the attention of the world, not to mention ordinary people, even Quan Wanji cannot deny this.
"Tengu Eclipse Day, the day is as dark as night, I don't know if Lord Quan has seen the record of Tengu Eclipse Day, once the Tengu Eclipse Day occurs, the range of the night is thousands of miles from east to west, but the north and south are only two hundred miles, and the day is as good as the beginning in other places, could it be that the Tengu Eclipse Day did not engulf the sun in other places, or is it not a sun that shines on the north and south of the river!" Merton asked.
"Ahh Quan Wanji suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, this is the biggest loophole in the Tengu Eclipse Day, but he didn't expect to be caught by Mo Jiazi again.
"This is just your guess, the will of heaven is unpredictable, how can you guess the heavens!" Quan Wanji gritted his teeth and insisted.
But everyone found out how powerless Kwon Wanji's words were, and under Merton's demonstration, everyone present had already been convinced. At least the Tengu Eclipse Day is only 200 miles from north to south, and the rest of the places are still daylight, which has already shattered the myth of the Tengu Eclipse Day.
Li Shimin was also suddenly shocked, his eyes suddenly lit up, the scope of the solar eclipse is limited, the solar eclipse occurred in the Yellow River Basin, and although the partial solar eclipse can be seen in the south of the Yangtze River, but the day is the same, if it is really the Tiangu Eclipse Sun, it should not be all the night, this phenomenon is extremely simple, and countless people have ignored it, and now after a little Moton, everyone suddenly opened their mouths, and couldn't help but have deep doubts about the Tiangu Eclipse Sun,
"That's because the heavens are warning in this place!" Quan Wanji argued.
Merton shook his head and said: "From the Mo family's point of view, the so-called Tengu Eclipse Day is probably just a vision of heaven and earth that will only occur at a specific moment, not a Tiangu Eclipse Day, a warning from the sky. ”
"Shhh
Everyone gasped, Merton's conjecture was not bold, and it was unbelievable, but looking at the half-dark and half-sunny venue in the venue, everyone couldn't help but be convinced.
"It's really arrogant, the tengu eclipse is an extremely rare thing, how did you Mo Jiazi know, could it be that your Mo family can communicate with the gods, and know in advance that there will be a solar eclipse on the first day of the fifth month, I'm afraid this is just your guess!" Quan Wanji snorted coldly.
Morton nodded and said, "This is indeed Mo's speculation, but after Mo rummaged through the group books, he found an extremely interesting thing. ”
Quan Wanji suddenly had a bad feeling, Mo Jiazi thought it was interesting, but for him, it was not necessarily interesting.
"The Book of Songs, Yin Zheng, the earliest record of the phenomenon of solar eclipses, according to research, is in the Xia Dynasty, about 2,000 years ago from the Tang Dynasty, "The Book of Songs, Xiaoya", there are also solar eclipse notes: at the turn of October, Shuo Ri Xinmao, there is a solar eclipse. Later, when the Han Dynasty came, almost all the solar eclipses were recorded in the history books, and if you are familiar with the history books, you can find a very interesting phenomenon, that is, all the tengu eclipse days occur around the New Year's Day, that is, around the first day of the new month of the month. Merton said with a smile.
"That's true!"
In the box, Li Shimin looked at the many history books in front of him, frantically flipped through the records about the solar eclipse, and found that the solar eclipse was indeed all around the New Year's Day.
"What does that mean?" Quan Wanji's voice was a little frightened, he was a learned person, and naturally knew that what Murton said was the truth.
"This really doesn't mean anything, if we wait to rearrange all the times and places where solar eclipses have occurred in the past two thousand years, you will find a more interesting phenomenon, the time and place of the tengu eclipse appear in cycles, that is, every once in a while, the number of times the phenomenon of the tengu eclipse occurs in my Tang Dynasty is equal. That is to say, whether it is the reign of the faint monarch, the natural disasters are continuous, the people are not living, or the Ming monarch is alive, the wind and rain are smooth, the country and the people are safe, and the solar eclipse occurs in a regular cycle. Merton made a shocking revelation.
Suddenly, the audience was shaken.
