Chapter Seventy-Four: See Sima Tan

Holding the Taixue Order Seal, Zhang Yuan went all the way to Taichang Temple.

After inquiry, I learned where Sima Tan's office was, and Sima Tan was Tai Shiling, although his official position was not large, he did not need to be by Liu Che's side.

He had under his command a special historian, an astronomical officer, and a judge, and he was a person who managed and coordinated.

"Taishi Ling, Taixue Ling Zhang Yuan is now waiting for you outside the hall."

A guard hurried to the hall and said to a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man is Sima Qian's father, and he is also the current Taishi Ling Sima Tan.

Sima Tan hurriedly put down the brush in his hand, his face a little incredulous at what the guard said.

"Is it really too much to learn Zhang Yuan?"

The guard nodded and said.

"Confirm that it is correct, this person is holding the Taixue Order Seal Ribbon, and the Silver Seal and Blue Ribbon will not be wrong."

Sima Tan hurriedly stood up, tidied up his clothes, and saw that the guards were still standing in place, and urged very anxiously.

"What are you still doing standing here, why don't you go and invite the Taixue Order in."

The guards also realized their dereliction of duty, and hurriedly retreated after making a promise.

Zhang Yuan didn't have any shelf, he was originally here to ask others to do something, and he hadn't been notified before, and it was a courtesy to wait outside the hall.

Fortunately, I didn't have to wait long, and soon met this character I had been looking forward to for a long time.

"The lower officials visited Taixue Ling, but they couldn't go out to greet him, and they hoped that Taixue Ling would forgive their sins."

Zhang Yuan waved his hand and laughed.

"Tai Shi Ling doesn't have to be so angry, it's a sudden visit, there's nothing."

Sima Tan raised his head slightly and glanced at the young Taixue Ling, and he didn't know how he could provoke such a big official to come to such a place today.

"Dare to ask why Tai Xueling is here?"

The person who wrote the history is bold, but if it is someone else's low official position, it is estimated that Zhang Yuan will not dare to ask if he does not say it.

"When Taixue first opened, I heard that Taishi Ling was proficient in astronomy, calendar, and historiography.

Therefore, I want to come here to ask Taishi Ling to learn from Taixue and give lectures to Taixue students. ”

Sima Tan was not as happy as Zhang Yuan expected.

In ancient times, the most thoughtful people were those who studied history and always used history as a mirror, which made them have more worries than ordinary people.

"Taixue order, I'm afraid the lower officials can't go to Taixue to give lectures."

Zhang Yuan was very surprised, you must know that the books in Shiqu Pavilion and Tianlu Pavilion are all in Taixue, and the attraction of those books to people like Sima Tan is fatal.

"Doesn't Taishi Ling know that His Majesty has ordered the collection of Shiqu Pavilion and Tianlu Pavilion to be moved to Taixue?"

Hearing Zhang Yuan mention this matter, Sima Tan's face suddenly changed.

"Xia Guan really doesn't know about this, thank you Taixue Ling for informing me.

But even so, the lower officials could not ask His Majesty to resign and go to Taixue. ”

Sima Tan continued to reject Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan couldn't understand it even more, reasoning that these historians were actually not well treated, but they took great risks.

"I don't know why, but please ask Taishi Ling to solve my doubts."

Sima talks about the right color road.

"This is the first example of the official position of the Kaitai Shi Ling of this dynasty, when today's son gradually attaches importance to historiography, how can I resign because of a little personal likes and dislikes at this important time?

If someone is more capable than the lower official, or can take over this position safely, the lower official may also go to Du County with the Taixue order.

But now the lower officials don't know that there is such a person, the only one is the son of the lower official, but the young son is not yet the age of the weak crown, and it is difficult to be a big man and needs to be tempered more to adapt to the sinister of the court.

Therefore, the lower officials cannot go to Du County with the Taixue Order, but the Taixue Order looks down on the lower officials so highly, and the lower officials will definitely remember this kindness. ”

After Zhang Yuan listened, he knew that he couldn't persuade Sima Tan, and he would inevitably be a little disappointed in his heart, but he also admired Sima Tan for having such a heart and ambition.

"Since that's the case, I won't force Tai Shi Ling.

I will bow down here, and I hope that I can have a chance to have a good time with Tai Shiling in the future. ”

After speaking, Zhang Yuan turned around and planned to leave.

As soon as the front foot stepped out, and before the back foot could be stretched out, a sound came from behind.

"Please stay in the Taixue Order."

Zhang Yuan thought that Sima Tan had changed his mind, and immediately turned around with joy.

"Tai Shi Ling has changed his mind?"

Sima Tan smiled awkwardly.

"Xia Guan has not changed his mind, but after listening to what Taixue Ling just said, he found that there are a few erudite people who can recommend it to you."

Sima Tan also has a master, and without a master these days, it is basically impossible for you to learn knowledge, and it will not work behind closed doors.

"Oh? Tai Shi Ling quickly said it to me. ”

"Xiaguan once studied Tianguan in the Tang Capital, and now the Tang Capital is in Chang'an City, and Xiaguan can recommend Taixue Ling.

In addition, the dog is now studying at Kong Anguo, the tenth grandson of Confucius, and Taixue Ling can also ask Kong Anguo's wishes. ”

Kong Anguo's name Zhang Yuan vaguely remembered, but Tang Du really didn't remember it, but as a teacher who taught Sima to talk about astronomy, he should not be a simple character.

It's better than nothing, you can't go back to Du County alone. Besides, Zhang Yuan also really wants to fool Sima Qian to Taixue, it is better to worship himself as a teacher or something, and it will not be a problem to leave a name in history in the future.

"Okay, then please ask Tai Shiling to lead the way."

Sima Tan's work was not complicated, and he didn't need to explain anything, so he went out of Jianzhang Palace with Zhang Yuan and began to go in the direction of Chang'an City.

On the way, Zhang Yuan vaguely remembered some legends about Kong Anguo, saying that this descendant of Confucius was also practicing Taoist immortal art at the same time, and finally became immortal.

Thinking of these legends, Zhang Yuan actually didn't believe it, even if he had crossed over, Zhang Yuan didn't believe in the myths of gods and ghosts.

It's just that I am looking forward to seeing what this tenth grandson of Confucius looks like, and whether he really practices Taoism as the legend says.

"Tai Shi Ling, I have heard that this Kong Anguo has practiced the art of Fang Shi, is it true?"

Zhang Yuan couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and asked directly to Sima Tan.

Unexpectedly, Sima Tan nodded directly.

"Indeed, there are many local scholars in Qilu, and the descendants of Confucius can also practice and yearn for it, which is not a strange thing."

After Zhang Yuan was confirmed, there was nothing to look forward to in his heart.

This group of alchemists can make lead into a circle, and then swallow it as an elixir, and they are all ruthless people.

Now it seems that whether it is Confucianism, Legalism or Taoism, as long as there is a name of immortality in front of them, it can attract these people to rush forward one after another.

Speaking of immortality, Zhang Yuan also yearns for it, but he knows that this matter cannot be realized after more than two thousand years, so he will cut off this thought.

In fact, through this mode, is it also immortality in another sense?
