Chapter 110: Uproar (continued)

Stargazing platform, dormitory area, in one of the small courtyards, Fang Yanqian, who got up late, was sorting out the sketches, last night he watched the stars at night, and did not fall asleep until dawn, observing the star map drawn when the sky direction needs to be carefully classified.

The magical astronomical mirror allowed him to step into a field that had never appeared before, Fang Yanqian was familiar with the Five Classics but was not proficient in astronomy, but when a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was in front of him, he couldn't help but be unmoved.

The stargazing platform in Huangzhou is the stargazing platform built by the emperor, there are a variety of astronomical instruments here, it is second only to the Yecheng stargazing platform, once you miss it, you will never have a chance.

Since Dong Zhongshu put forward the saying of "heaven and man induction" in the Western Han Dynasty, the imperial courts of all dynasties have strictly controlled the behavior of observing celestial phenomena.

However, since the Yongjia Rebellion, the Central Plains has fallen into hundreds of years of strife, whether it is the Southern Dynasties or the Northern Dynasties, when the political situation is turbulent, the emperors who are difficult to protect themselves have not had much mind to prohibit folk scholars from observing celestial phenomena.

Therefore, folk astronomers have a living space, but due to the shortage of observation instruments and the problem of knowledge inheritance, many self-taught scholars actually do not know the essentials.

The Huangzhou Observatory is semi-open, and both locals and outsiders can use the observatory to observe celestial phenomena as long as they have the permission of the government.

Fang Yanqian originally just came to Huangzhou to travel, and planned to stay for a while and then return to his hometown, but he didn't want to leave as soon as he came, because he wanted to seize this rare opportunity.

The imperial court now allows the setting up of stargazing platforms outside the capital, but who knows if it will change its mind in the future, the Zhou State destroyed the Sui and recovered the rivers and mountains, and after the Southern Dynasty Chen State was pacified and ruled the world, the emperor's thoughts and ministers' minds were different.

Heaven and man sense, once there is a flood, drought or earthquake, or a meteor at night, or even a guest star appears, the rulers have to apologize, if the disaster is serious, the sky is abnormal, even the emperor has to issue an edict.

Therefore, once there are natural disasters and abnormal celestial phenomena, it is also an opportunity for all forces in the imperial court to fight openly and secretly, and many people will take this opportunity to attack political opponents, and those with ulterior motives will even take the opportunity to attack the emperor for his immorality.

No emperor or minister can tolerate giving people a handle and holding Tai'a, so the observation of celestial phenomena closely related to "celestial and human induction" will sooner or later be controlled by the emperor or minister.

Although Fang Yanqian has resigned now, it does not mean that he does not know the situation of the court, the Son of Heaven is young now, and the ruling prime minister is in the prime of life, and the political disputes between the court and the government will inevitably continue in the future, so sooner or later the people on both sides will remember the weapon of "heaven and man induction".

No matter who wins in the end, sooner or later the power to observe the celestial phenomena will have to be taken back and confined to the Qin Heavenly Prison.

In particular, the appearance of the astronomical mirror has made many sayings a laughing stock, such as the ethereal nine-day Moon Palace, looking through the astronomical mirror, it is just a pitted disk, where is there the appearance of the fairy palace?

This contrast was too strong, so Fang Yanqian felt that sooner or later the imperial court would come to its senses and prohibit the use of astronomical mirrors for celestial observations.

Out of such worries, Fang Yanqian wanted to seize the opportunity to observe the celestial phenomena at the Huangzhou Observatory before the astronomical scope was banned, and study astronomy carefully.

After sorting it out carefully, his son Fang Qiao approached, and when he saw the food in his son's hand, Fang Yanqian came back to his senses: it was now afternoon, and he hadn't eaten since he got up.

"How's your homework going?"

"Father, today's homework is done." Speaking of this, Fang Qiao asked with some expectation: "Father, can the child go to the stargazing platform tonight?" ”

"Yes, but I'll go back to the dormitory at nine o'clock."

"Hmm!" Fang Qiao nodded excitedly, it was his father's turn to use the astronomical mirror with a few colleagues these nights, so he was waiting for the opportunity to see the gorgeous beauty of the starry sky.

It's such a beautiful scenery that you can't see anywhere else!

Seeing his son so excited, Fang Yanqian smiled helplessly, before he came to Xiyang, he didn't know how to read the clock, and he didn't know what twenty-four hours was, but after staying here for a long time, he got used to it unconsciously.

Because Xiyang pays attention to 'punctuality' here, it is necessary to be 'punctual' to go to the meeting, to be 'punctual' to the banquet, to be 'punctual' when lecturing in the state school, and to use the astronomical mirror at the observatory to be 'punctual'.

While the father and son were talking, they heard the noise outside, the small courtyard where Fang Yanqian's father and son lived, and several other residents, Fang Yanqian thought that the neighbors were talking about something, and when he listened attentively, he found that it was a voice coming from outside the courtyard.

The footsteps started, and the courtyard door was pushed open with a hula, and then the voice sounded: "Xiao Chong, Xiao Chong!" ”

Fang Yanqian walked out of the room, and when he saw the panting appearance, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why are you so flustered?" Could it be that it's cloudy tonight and you can't see the stars? ”

"Hyochong! You... Know... I don't know..., the state learns out... It's a big deal! ”

"You go with the flow first, speak slowly, don't rush."

"Xiao Chong, today Liu... Guangbo in... The state learns to talk about "Shangshu", which you... You know, right? ”

Seeing Fang Yanqian nodding, the man then said: "It's amazing, someone questioned the ancient text "Shangshu". ”

"What's so strange about that?" Fang Yanqian said with a smile, the authenticity of the ancient text "Shangshu" has always been questioned, of course, he thinks that the ancient text "Shangshu" presented by Mei Zhen in the Eastern Jin Dynasty is indeed the ancient Confucian text "Shangshu" of Kong Anguo in the Western Han Dynasty.

"You... Hey, Liu Guangbo was asked! ”

"Huh? What did you say? ”

"Sima Yangji, the governor of Huangzhou, questioned whether Mei Zhen's "Shangshu Biography" of Kong Anguo was a forgery, and Liu Guangbo could not answer the doubts he raised, and later thought..."

Speaking of this, the man became excited: "Liu Guangbo and Liu Shiyuan, I think that the two flaws that Yang Sima said are indeed correct, and the "Biography of Shangshu" presented by Mei Zhen is a forgery by later generations!" ”

"Huh?"

Fang Yanqian didn't come back to his senses for a while, he knew that Liu Xuan had always admired the ancient text "Shangshu" presented by Mei Zhen, thinking that this book was true, and now...

If the book presented by Mei Chen, the "Preface to Shangshu", the "Preface to Shangshu" and the ancient text "Shangshu" are one, if the "Biography of Shangshu" is really a forgery, then it means that the "Preface to Shangshu" and the ancient text "Shangshu" presented by Mei Zhen are very likely to be fake.

Fang Qiao listened on the sidelines, feeling that something was wrong, although he had not yet started to learn "Shangshu", but he had also heard his father say that "Shangshu Biography", "Shangshu Preface" and the ancient text "Shangshu" are one, and as a result...

As soon as the footsteps started, many people ran into the small courtyard and asked around Fang Yanqian: "Xiaochong, what's going on, how can "The Legend of Shangshu" be fake?" ”

Fang Yanqian was so asked by this kind of question that he couldn't cry or laugh: "I haven't gone to the state school today, how do I know what happened?" ”

"How can it be fake? How can it be fake! ”

Many people couldn't believe the news they heard, most of them were astronomers, but they still had basic knowledge of scriptures, and when they heard the news just now, they couldn't accept it at once, so they all ran to ask Fang Yanqian.

Fang Yanqian is a scholar, and at this moment, he is the best astronomical person among the astronomical scholars, and he is also the person with the best level of scripture among astronomical scholars, so everyone wants to come and ask for an understanding.

"Everyone, everyone! Fang really doesn't know what happened to Zhouxue today, but I think that soon after, Liu Shiyuan and Liu Guangbo will definitely give a detailed answer, everyone don't be impatient! ”

Seeing that everyone in the courtyard was talking about it, Fang Yanqian, who advised everyone to "be calm and not be impatient", but his heart was churning like boiling water.

Is "The Biography of Shang Shu" a forgery? Liu Guangbo has nothing to say? What's going on!
