Chapter 384: Yuan Tiangang's ability
Although the literary history of ancient China is brilliant, these four books still have the upper hand compared to the audience and readability.
Cui Yue was so fascinated by reading that he even had to hold this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his hand when he was eating, and he had no choice but to go with Cui Yue, after all, meeting a good book and reading a good story is something that can be encountered but not sought by a book lover.
Early the next morning, Zhang Nan still went to the morning court as usual, and most of the things had been discussed yesterday's morning court, so today's morning court didn't take much time to finish. As soon as Zhang Nan walked out of Li Er's Taiji Palace, he was invited to Da'an Palace by Li Yuan's personal eunuch, but this time Zhang Nan was already determined in his heart.
The current Zhang Nan is the only courtier who can enter and leave Da'an Palace without being suspicious of Li Er.
"Emperor Taishang, you don't look very good today." Zhang Nan saw Li Yuan, smiled and saluted Li Yuan and said.
Li Yuan was also a little embarrassed after hearing this, since Li Yuan was ousted from power, Li Yuan has lived a life of sleeping until he wakes up naturally every day, although there is no freedom, but Li Yuan has fewer things to worry about, so Li Yuan also has a mental state that his peers do not have, but since Zhang Nan told Li Yuan about the academy yesterday.
Li Yuan, who should have gone to bed at night, couldn't fall asleep lying on the bed over and over, Li Yuan felt very excited, and felt that he had a warm blood waiting for him to sway, but the result was that he didn't sleep well all night, and it wasn't until the early hours of the morning that Li Yuan was about to fall asleep.
As a result, I didn't sleep for a while and got up again, for a person of Li Yuan's age, it was very sad not to sleep well all night.
However, Li Yuan didn't tell Zhang Nan that he didn't sleep well because he was excited to become the principal, but coughed twice and said, "Well, I didn't have a good rest yesterday, but it's okay, Qingquan, you can follow me to choose a site for the academy today." ”
As soon as Zhang Nan heard that Li Yuan called him over for this matter, he was a little speechless, and he didn't know how to read feng shui, and for Zhang Nan, as long as it was an open space, it was possible to build a school, so why bother?
"I don't know where the Emperor wants to put this academy?" Zhang Nan asked.
"Well, I've thought about this question, I think the foot of the mountain outside Chang'an City is good, what do you think?" Li Yuan asked.
"Into the mountains again?" Zhang Nan's face was speechless, why did the ancients like to drill into the mountains?
However, this is Zhang Nan's loneliness, and from the Song Dynasty onwards, orthodox academies began to appear in China. The four major academies in ancient China, Yingtian Academy, Yuelu Academy, Songyang Academy, and Bailudong Academy.
Except for the Yingtian Academy, which is set up in the downtown area, the other academies are set up in secluded places in the mountains and forests. These academies generally developed from private seclusion to buying land and building houses, gathering books and accepting apprentices, and engaging in lecture activities. Most of the locations are located in secluded places in the mountains and forests, and later generations believe that this is influenced by the Buddhist Zen Forest Retreat.
But these are all things that Zhang Nan doesn't know, and now Li Yuan said that he wants to put the academy in the mountain, so Zhang Nan can only follow Li Yuan into the mountain to find a place.
"By the way, I heard that you sent Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng to the Ministry of Heavenly Engineering?" Li Yuan suddenly asked without a head.
"Yes, is there anything wrong with the Emperor?" Zhang Nan said.
"The two of them are using the astrological feng shui technique today, your heavenly engineering department is engaged in cunning, can the two of them help in the past?" Li Yuan said strangely, after all, Li Yuan accepted the two of them into the palace as officials, just to do a divination and calculate a bad luck or something, and now Zhang Nan suddenly dropped the two of them to engage in scientific research, how could Li Yuan not be surprised.
"Hey, Emperor Tai, you don't know anything, the two of them are now our leading chemists in Datang, and in the future, they are all characters who can start a mountain and establish a faction on the chemical road of Datang." Zhang Nan said with a smile.
Li Yuan shook his head, Li Yuan didn't know what the chemistry Zhang Nan said was for, compared to this, Li Yuan still valued Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng's feng shui looks.
"Okay, let's go now, by the way, go to the Tiangong Department and call the two of them, I want these two to find a feng shui treasure for the academy." Li Yuan said.
Although Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng are now pulled by Zhang Nan to engage in scientific research, this does not affect the accuracy of the two of them.
And since the early death that Yuan Tiangang said when he first met Zhang Nan, Zhang Nan has been convinced of Yuan Tiangang's business ability.
According to legend, after Li Zhi ascended the throne, he began to look for a cemetery for himself. In order to choose the cemetery in the best place for feng shui, Li Zhi sent Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, the most famous scholars in the court, to survey the tomb site respectively.
Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng acted separately after receiving the order, but in the end they both found the same place - Liangshan. The three peaks here are towering, and the main peak reaches into the sky. The east is separated by Wushui and Jiuzhi Mountain, and the west is connected with Loujing Mountain and Qishan Mountain. The two waters of Wu and Qi hug each other in front of the mountain, forming a water wall and encircling the dragon qi in the ground. So, the two of them made a mark on the mountain.
Coincidentally, the marks made by the two people were in the same place, and the hair pin inserted by Li Chunfeng happened to be inserted in the copper coin eye buried by Yuan Tiangang.
Whether this matter is true or false, it must be impossible to test, but Qianling has gone through thousands of years, and the tomb robbers who have met have changed from shovels to cannons, but they have not opened Qianling, Qianling is the most well-preserved one of the main tombs in the Tang Eighteen Tombs, and it is also the only one in the Tang Tombs that has not been stolen.
As a feng shui master who showed the royal family, Zhang Nan believed that looking at the feng shui of the academy must be a trivial meaning for the two.
Soon Zhang Nan and Li Yuan came to the Ministry of Heavenly Engineering, and Zhang Nan took Li Yuan directly to the laboratory, because the two of them could not be anywhere else except in the laboratory, and since the two of them had seen the modern chemical laboratory built by Zhang Nan, they couldn't wait to live in the laboratory every day to conduct research.
Although they were all very superficial experiments, they both did it repeatedly to ensure that the conclusions they obtained were the same as those written in the book.
When he came to the chemistry laboratory, as soon as Zhang Nan pushed the door, he saw two of the most famous feng shui masters in the Tang Dynasty wearing white coats, one holding a beaker and the other fiddling with an alcohol lamp. Regarding the scene in front of him, Zhang Nan didn't have the slightest sense of disobedience.
