Wuzhuguan has not been so lively for a long time, and when I learned that Zhangjiao Qihui and others were coming, hundreds of believers gathered at the door of the Taoist temple early in the morning, hoping to see Zhangjiao Qihui or Yuan Hui Shitai and listen to the preaching; There are also many people arranged by the scholars, watching the excitement from afar. Coach Guozhen, who has no bamboo view, has repeatedly come forward to explain that the head coach will only come out to meet everyone if he has met the guests, and he hopes that everyone will wait patiently and not make noise.

The believers didn't dare to make noise at all, not to mention the consequences of offending Qihui, even the disciples of Louguan who stood with swords at the gate of Wuzhuguan also made people cringe. When it was time to reach the third zhang of Rigao, a carriage came slowly, Yang Chong got off the carriage at the gate of Wuzhuguan, and was really admitted to the view by Shuai Guozhen, and all the people knew that the guest Qihui wanted to see was Yang Chong, and the people of the various families were busy running back to deliver the letter.

Walking inside behind Shuai Guozhen, Yang Chong's feeling is quiet, Wuzhuguan has been here dozens of times, it is the quietest today, even Hao Ting doesn't talk like she does on weekdays when she sees her, it seems that Qi Hui, the head of the sect, still has two brushes. When Yang Chong entered the garden, he was stopped by an old nun, and Shuai Guozhen consciously stood aside; The traces of vicissitudes of life can't hide the original beauty embryo, even if Yang Chong feels the coldness in the other party's gaze, he still has to admit that the old nun should be a beauty when she is young.

The old nun said, "Poor nun Yuanhui, there is something to ask the donor. ”

Yang Chong immediately realized that this was an exam, and politely said, "Master Tai, please speak." ”

Guini Yuanhui asked: "Huainanzi said: 'In ancient times, it is called the universe, and the four directions are called the universe', in the eyes of the donor, what does the universe look like?" ”

Yang Chong immediately judged that Yuan Hui had read scriptures such as "Mozi". Mozi believed that the universe is a continuous whole, and that individuals or parts are separated from this unified whole, and are all part of this unified whole. Mozi named time "Jiu", named space as "Yu", and gave the definition of "Jiu" and "Yu", that is, "Jiu" refers to all time including ancient and modern times, and "Yu" refers to all spaces including east, west, middle and north and south, and time and space are continuous and uninterrupted. Mozi defines the space-time element as "beginning" and "end", "beginning" is the smallest unit of time that cannot be divided, and "end" is the smallest unit of space that cannot be divided. Such a continuous infinite space-time is made up of the smallest units, and in the infinite there is infinity.

Yang Chong is a person who travels through, has a deep understanding of the smallest unit in time, it is a point in time, Yang Chong came to the Sui Dynasty from the twenty-first century, Yang Chong said lightly: "The universe is infinite, what we see with the naked eye is a very small part, just like the stars in the night sky, some are many times larger than the earth, because it is too far away from the earth, in our eyes is just a flickering white dot." ”

"Earth?" Yuan Hui groaned: "The earth you are talking about is the earth under our feet? Why is it called Earth? ”

Yang Chong smiled: "Because he is a sphere, it is called the earth." In the wilderness, on the sea, we see chariots or boats coming up little by little, and when we see the head first, and then we see the whole picture, it means that the earth is round under our feet. ”

Not only were the few Louguan Taoist priests standing around stunned, but even Shuai Guozhen looked incredulous, Yuan Hui was not a master of the Dao, and continued to ask very calmly: "Why can't that person fall?" ”

Yang Chong replied calmly: "Because the earth has gravity, it attracts all things on the earth, just like a fruit that will fall from the top when it is ripe. ”

Shuai Guozhen and Yang Chong are acquaintances, and they have always had a high evaluation of Yang Chong in their minds, but today they learned that they still looked away, Yang Chong's vision has reached the point of shocking the world, and he has never heard of what he said. Every theory that Yang Chong said found examples to demonstrate, so that Guini Yuanhui didn't dare to ask casually, in case Yang Chong said something that didn't match the propaganda of Louguandao, it would be worrying.

After a moment of silence, the ghost nun stepped out of the way and said, "I'll discuss it with the donor when I have time." ”

Entering the garden, Yang Chong saw a person coming out of the octagonal pavilion and smiling at him; When he saw Yang Chong, he asked: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, what kind of means does the Mo family use to govern the country?" ”

Yang Chong's eyes were clear, and he replied: "Officials are impermanent, and the people are not cheap, the hungry get food, the cold get clothes, and the laborers get rest, then the world loves both." ”

The person who came was Xie Hong. After listening to Yang Chong's answer, Xie Hong's smile became a little bitter, Yang Chong's answer was actually standing on the opposite side of "the upper grade has no cold family, and the lower grade has no family", Xie Hong pretended not to understand and asked: "Could it be that the prince will have a kind of Xiangning?" ”

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rose up in Daze Township, shouting, "And the strong man will not die on the same day, and he will be famous when he dies, and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning!" Since then, Great Qin has fallen into turmoil and died for several years; Since then, this sentence has been regarded as a famous phrase of the rebels, and it is used to deceive the people whenever there is an incident. Yang Chong naturally would not fall into this obvious trap, and said with a ridiculous taste: "The imperial examination is a good method, and it will be the way for the cold to rise in the future." ”

In the first month of the third year of the emperor's reign, Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian once issued an edict to promote virtue; In the seventh year of the emperor's reign, he also ordered the Beijing officials to be in charge of more than five grades and assassinate the history, and to raise people with the two branches of "Zhixing Xiu" and "Qingping Ganji". In the third year of the great cause, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty ordered that civil and military officials who have a ministry can be "filial piety", "virtuous and generous", "righteous and righteous", "clean and clean", "strong and upright", "unforgiving", "excellent in academics", "beautiful literary talent", "talented generals", "arrogant and strong", etc. The people of the world, therefore, gather in Luoyang, Chang'an, live in spring and autumn, and gather in the clouds.

Xie Hong said calmly: "Yang Chong, you are also an official, can't you see the mystery." ”

Yang Chong replied indifferently: "Nothing happens overnight. The tide of history is unstoppable, as long as the imperial examination begins, as time goes by, there will be more and more opportunities for people from poor families. The only difference between the two sides is the scriptures, which can be modeled on the Xiping Shijing of the Han Dynasty, and the Guozi supervised the scriptures to write a model scripture, which was copied and sent to the counties, and the Great Sui had a total of 241 prefectures, 680 counties, 500 students, and 1,000 templates were enough. It took eight years for the Xiping Stone Scripture to be implemented, and it was almost ten years to implement the model. ”

Xie Hong was a little speechless, Yang Chong's method was absolutely feasible, once this situation was formed, the family would lose its advantage in doctrine, and it would be difficult to prevent the rise of the children of the Han family. Xie Hong understood that if the words of himself and Yang Chong were spread, it would open the box of disaster, and with the personality of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, he would definitely take a gamble; Xie Hong arched his hand and said: "Accept more advice, and the master will wait in the pavilion." ”
