Chapter 69: Thoughts

Yu Gongcao is an official position, his real name is Yu Hao, is the most famous architect today, in the past ten years, he personally built more than 10 pure wooden pavilions, each of which is a local landmark.

Of course, at this time, there was no such title as an architect, and he was known as Master Yu.

He was originally from Qiantang, because of his outstanding reputation, when he captured Jianghuai two years ago, he negotiated with Nantang and asked him to come over as a technical talent.

At the beginning, he was just a material maker, but relying on the carpenter's skills, this year he achieved the work of the six Cao of Kaifeng Mansion and instructed the construction of many buildings in Kaifeng Mansion.

When Zhao Dezhao inquired about the architect, the craftsmen mentioned his name, and they all admired it.

Hearing his name, Zhao Dezhao remembered that he was also recorded in the history books, and he built the first wooden tower in the world.

According to historical records, Zhao Guangyi built a wooden pagoda in Kaibao Temple, a royal temple, in the early Song Dynasty, and Yu Hao was responsible for the design and construction.

This wooden tower is thirteen stories high, one hundred and twenty meters, no matter where you are in Kaifeng Mansion, you can see this tower.

However, it was only more than 50 years after it was built, and it was destroyed because of a lightning strike and fire.

More than ten years after this wooden tower burned down, the construction of the first tower in the world began to be built.

Remembering this record, Zhao Dezhao naturally had to get Yu Hao to Hanjing.

However, only Zhao Guangyi can call the shots in this matter, and he doesn't say yes, he doesn't say no, he keeps dragging it out.

It wasn't until yesterday that people passed the word and asked Zhao Dezhao to be a guest at the Zhongshu Ling Mansion today to discuss the matter.

Everyone chatted a few more words, and discussed that they would hand Zhao Kuangyin a chapter tomorrow, and prepare to leave for Hanjing the day after tomorrow.

Separated from Shen Yilun and them, Zhao Dezhao returned to the East Palace with a team of forbidden troops arranged by Tong Liang and Han Chongyun.

At the beginning, the East Palace lived with 100 guards, nearly 100 chamberlains, and more than 10 palace maids.

After Zhao Dezhao got married, the number of people in all aspects increased, and the number was nearly 300.

However, the originally bustling East Palace is now left with less than fifty attendants guarding the door, which seems very deserted.

After eating a little at random, he came to the study, and Zhao Dezhao sorted out all the Tuikan documents he had gotten in the past few days.

Tui Kan is equivalent to an approval, but this kind of approval is not something that can be opened casually.

For example, salt quotation belongs to a kind of push-kan instrument, and this kind of push-kan document has to live within one's means.

Regardless of the amount of silk, cloth, iron, salt, wood, grain, or the amount of output, there is a deduction according to the output.

With the Tuikan Document, you can go directly to the place of origin to receive the approved materials, and the transportation of goods must also check this Tuikan Document.

Xiangyang became Hanjing, and the expansion required a large amount of materials, which could not be transported directly from Kaifeng Province, mainly from the place of origin.

Therefore, these pushable documents are a huge amount of materials.

The documents were sorted out, packed into two wooden boxes, and then locked, and guarded by chamberlains and guards.

Although these pushable documents must have the corresponding documents and personnel to withdraw, they are not afraid of being stolen, but if they are lost, burned, and reissued, it is very troublesome.

Zhao Dezhao is the prince, and he got the emperor's will, and it took half a month to get these things done.

If it is damaged, it is a trivial matter to spend money, the main thing is that it is too troublesome.

After finishing these, he had nothing to do for a while, and he was tired after working for half a month, Zhao Dezhao simply slept under the covers for a while.

Not long after falling asleep, he was woken up by Tong Liang. "Second brother, wake up, the official family is invited."

Zhao Dezhao opened his eyes and couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Tong Liang's expression. "What's the matter?"

Tong Liang said excitedly: "Second brother, Fuyaozi has entered Beijing and was invited into the palace by the official family. ”

Zhao Dezhao paused for a moment before remembering this almost forgotten object. "Chen Chuan is here......"

After Zhao Dezhao crossed over, he took out the Immortal Qi Cultivation Technique, the Ginseng Guben Pill, all in the name of Taoism.

At that time, Zhao Kuangyin said that he would arrange for someone to go to Huashan to ask Chen Tuan to verify it, but after a few months, Zhao Dezhao almost forgot about him.

Now that I heard him coming, I had a sense of changing history.

In the history he knew, Chen Kuang was received by Chai Rong and Zhao Guangyi, but Zhao Kuangyin did not meet Chen Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyin was originally the highest martial arts among the emperors, there was no one, in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Zhao Kuangyin was the undisputed martial arts master, and could even be called the first person.

With his level, whether it is a Taoist who is really capable or a so-called martial arts master, he doesn't care about it.

If you want him to respect the monk, let's wash and sleep.

What's more, in history, Chen Jian is not famous for Taoism and martial arts, he is just a Taoist scholar who knows some health skills.

Because of the entrance examination, and the disappearance of relatives due to the war, none of my parents, brothers and sisters can be found.

Chen Tuan began to wander around, first living in seclusion in Wudang Mountain, began to study Taoist classics, and gradually became famous.

Because after his fame became great, he often visited, he thought Wudang Mountain was too lively, and went to Huashan to live in seclusion.

He was a scribe by birth, and he was a big man who could read and write at that time, and with years of research, he was very proficient in the I Ching and the Elephant Hexagram.

He's just a scholar, and the rest of the hype is just a legend.

However, a true scholar is also worthy of respect, Zhao Dezhao immediately washed and changed his clothes, changed into a set of dresses and entered the palace.

As soon as I entered the Wende Palace, I saw that many attendants were gathered under the eaves of the corridor, and they were obviously very interested in Chen Luan.

"Prince Dezhao drove to ......"

In an instant, Meng Kuan came out of the hall and made a false gesture with a smile on his face. "Second brother is here, fast forward ......"

Wende Hall was the main place for the emperor to receive foreign guests, rarely dealing with government affairs, and was relatively deserted on weekdays, but today it is overcrowded.

One person has a Han couch, and the hall is full of ministers, all of whom seem to be little fans.

Chen was born in 871, and now it is 966, and he has lived to be ninety-five years old.

Such a long-lived veteran is almost like a god in this era.

On the Luohan bed at the top, Zhao Kuangyin sat on the left side, with a desk in the middle, and a Taoist priest with crane hair and a childish face sat on the right.

There is no need to guess, this crane-haired and childish old way is Chen Tuo.

Zhao Dezhao waved around at the door of the main hall, saluted the ministers, and then walked towards Zhao Kuangyin.

And Chen Jun, who was originally preaching, also stopped talking at this time and looked at Zhao Dezhao, who was much taller than ordinary people.

Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile: "Dao Chief, this is my son Dezhao, "Immortal Qi Cultivation Technique" and "Ginseng Guben Pill" are all obtained by him by granting heaven and opportunity. ”

Chen Jun turned his head and asked, "He is only fifteen this year?" ”

Without waiting for Zhao Kuangyin to nod, he sighed again: "The real dragon descends to earth, and I can't do it." ”

Zhao Kuangyin wanted to speak again, but Chen Tuan sighed: "Your Majesty, you have changed your life against the sky, and the old Tao can't see it clearly, let alone dare to look at it." ”

"A blessing or a curse?"

Chen Jian pondered for a moment and said, "It's a blessing or a curse." ”

Zhao Kuangyin nodded contentedly.

Zhao Dezhao came to the end of the steps, first with Zhao Kuangyin, and then with Chen to the end. "I've seen Daddy, I've seen Dao Chief."

Seeing Zhao Dezhao performing two different courtesies, Zhao Kuangyin deliberately smiled and asked: "Why are you thin and generous?" ”

"Daddy's day is common, but the Taoist is not common. The child respects the elder, the years, and the knowledge. ”

Zhao Kuangyin laughed, and motioned for the attendant to bring a Han couch and put it at his feet. "Come up and sit down and listen to the sermon."

Zhao Dezhao climbed the five steps and saluted Chen Jun again, and then sat on the Han couch.

The Han couch is somewhat like the pallet used by the transportation company in later generations, but it is a little smaller. It is generally a square wooden base of 60 to 80 centimeters, about 15 to 20 centimeters high.

Ministers generally sit on their knees, but Zhao Dezhao is not used to kneeling, so he chooses to sit cross-legged.

This is also not out of the way, thinking that military generals are generally dressed in armor, and most of them are also sitting cross-legged.

Chen Tuan and Zhao Dezhao nodded with a smile, straightened up again, and began to lecture on the scriptures, talking about the "Tao Law and Nature" scriptures in the "Tao Te Ching".

Since the Han Dynasty Heshang Gong annotated the Tao Te Ching, the Tao Te Ching has become easy to understand, and the Tao Te Ching has become the most important, most widely circulated and most influential scripture of Taoism.

In this era, as long as you are a reader, everyone can say a few words of "man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature".

However, Chen Jun combined "Laozi" and "Liezi" with the central idea of "Zhou Yi".

He explained with the combination of "Tong" and "Yi", starting from the beginning of the generation and change of the form of all things, exploring the "origin" of all things, and integrating the two in a sense.

Finally, he uses the "number of images" that he is most familiar with to explain the meaning of "returning to Wuji" in his "Wuji Tu", which is summarized as "returning to Wuji".

The basic characteristic of his academic thought is that it is mainly based on "old" learning, and it also integrates Taoism and Yi.

From the "Tao Te Ching" book, the idea is summarized by the sequence and regularity of the changes in the hexagram of "Zhou Yi".

The natural pursuit of human Taoism is regarded as the essence of the change of the concrete individual, and the regularity and orderliness of the process of the change of the concrete individual are the content and manifestation of the nihilistic natural Tao.

In this way, it connects people and things in a physical way, communicates the metaphysical and the metaphysical, establishes the metaphysical ontological basis for Taoist practice, and lays the physical and material foundation for the metaphysical Taoist.

To be "poor, high and far", but also to be implemented. Systematically construct a theoretical system of human generation and cultivation.

This kind of integration of mathematics, philosophy, religion, politics, and science, combined with human existence and pursuit, adds a deeper meaning to life.

As long as it is someone who can understand, it is fascinating to listen. Of course, those who don't understand it are like listening to the book of heaven.

Of course, Zhao Dezhao understands and is very familiar. Because the core idea of the Shinrikyo he founded in the Ming Dynasty is very close to this idea.

The difference is that Chen Tuan is only a little bit of science and politics, using mathematics as an external tool and paying more attention to religious and philosophical ideas.

On the contrary, Shinrikyo regards science as the center and mathematics as the foundation, and tries to downplay philosophy and religion.

Seeing the obsession of the ministers listening, Zhao Dezhao had some thoughts in his heart......
