Lu Huiqing and Lu Jia asked, and sat in the side hall of Wang Anshi's mansion.

Lu Jia asked the city of Yiwu, who went out to inspect Jingdong the day before yesterday, and just returned from Nanjing Yingtianfu [now Shangqiu] today. As soon as he approached the city of Tokyo, he immediately heard about the scene at the Qionglin banquet. Regarding the result of the confrontation between Yang Hui and Han Gang, Lu Jia was also speechless: "I didn't expect Yang Hui to invite him out." ”

Lu Huiqing sneered: "Yang Element is a big bad luck, the reputation of the Qionglin banquet is lost, the scene is lost, and the people are even more embarrassed, and he has become a laughing stock in Tokyo." If you don't go out again, will you stay in Jingshi and continue to be laughed at?! ”

"Yang Element is not happy to find Han Yukun, that is really asking for hardship." Although Lu Jiawen hadn't met Han Gang a few times, he had also inquired hard about Wang Anshi's second son-in-law, "Xiang Bao's stroke is not good yet, Dou Shunqing has already made a decision, Su Zizhan is still in Hangzhou, and King Yong lives honestly outside the palace, but if you can't get along with Han Gang, there really is no good result." ”

"Wen Yanbo also tried to beat Wang Shao and Xianggong with Han Gang several times at the beginning, what happened to him later, you know what happened." Lu Huiqing said with a smile.

"I almost had a stroke, too?" Lu Jia asked and said with a smile, "The fierce name is outstanding, and it is really a star in the sky!" ”

"I really can't mess with it......" Lu Huiqing also sighed, "That Han Yukun!" ”

"What are you talking about in Yukun?" Wang Anshi came out in a homely wide robe, just in time to hear the second half of the sentence.

"I'm talking about Han Yukun's incident at the Qionglin banquet." Lu Huiqing's mouth changed quickly, and she couldn't say that her son-in-law was a broom-like character in front of her father-in-law, "In front of the Son of Heaven, throwing a stone into the water is a bit too much." But his later deduction is very reasonable, and there is still some flavor of the Wisdom Sect, I don't know if it is because Hengqu is leaning on the Great Ci'en Temple in Chang'an. ”

The only knowledge sect, also known as the law of the only knowledge of the sect, the law of the sect, is the lineage of Master Xuanzang, its ancestral court is in the big wild goose pagoda of the Great Grace Temple. It's just that the Wisdom Sect has been in decline since the late Tang Dynasty, but fortunately, Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing have studied it.

After the great revival of Buddhism in the Sui and Tang dynasties, in fact, the scriptures and meanings of the various schools of Confucianism in the Song Dynasty all integrated the theories of the two religions. There are almost no Confucians in the world who do not study Buddhism and Taoism, even if they have always rejected the old man and respected Confucianism alone, Luo Xue and Guan Xue, it is the same. For example, Zhang Zai, he returned to the palace of Confucianism after studying Buddhism and Taoism. Not to mention Wang Anshi, an all-rounder who runs through the three religions, can annotate "Lao Tzu", and can be famous in the world.

"Is it because of Mingxue?" Wang Anshi asked casually and sat down.

Among the Futu sects, the Wisdom Sect is the most profound school of study of the Cause Ming Xue [logic close to later generations]. When Lu Huiqing said this, he felt that Han Gang's logical reasoning borrowed from Galileo was a bit like the argumentation of cause and clarity in Buddhism.

"Exactly!" Lu Huiqing nodded. But Lu Jiawen was confused, so he could only sit still. After all, there are only a few people in the New Party who can discuss various methods with Wang Anshi, such as Lu Huiqing and Wang Yan.

Wang Anshi thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It's a little similar, but it's still a little different from the law of cause and clarity mentioned in "The Theory of Enlightenment". Yu Kun said too little about this matter, but a few words, one matter, it is inconvenient to make a conclusion on this. ”

"These are all trivia, you can ask again in the future." Lu Huiqing took a little spy, and said: "It's that the marriage between Han Yukun and the second little lady of the Xianggong family is also coming soon, and when the time comes, you have to prepare a gift!" ”

Listening to Lu Huiqing mention the marriage of his second daughter, Wang Anshi smiled bitterly. is another son-in-law who is not the same heart as himself. If it weren't for Han Gang's character being passable, and he went to the soup for the sake of his teacher, Wang Anshi would have the heart to regret his marriage: "Do everything to add chaos to the Jingyi Bureau." ”

From his words and expression, Lu Huiqing saw Wang Anshi's distress. relieved: "Han Yukun was indeed summoned by the Son of Heaven one after another, but it doesn't mean that he can really say that the Son of Heaven can be moved, otherwise, the edict to recruit Zhang Zai into the court should be issued." ”

"That is, what if the Son of Heaven issued an edict?" Wang Anshi half-sank his face and said coldly.

Lu Huiqing listened to a joy: "...... What does Xianggong mean? ”

"No just no way! Didn't the outside say that I was unfair? Wang Anshi's expression was firm, and his tone was unwavering: "No matter what Han Yukun is calculating, the Jingyi Bureau must not let people!" ”

……………………

Just when Wang Anshi was ruthless, Han Gang was in the Chongzheng Palace.

He took a piece of white crystal from Li Shun's hand. The triangular pillars on the sides are crystal clear, and the sunset shining in the temple is reflected in the palm of the hand.

Han Gang only mentioned it to Zhao Ji the day before yesterday, and it was only two days of hard work, and it was actually polished. And it is made of white crystal, which is extremely transparent and has no pores at all, and it is polished so bright and thorough, that you can hardly see the wear marks on it. This kind of craftsmanship is not something that ordinary masters can do.

After all, he is the emperor, and he does what he says. A casual sentence can make people rush to work day and night. Crystals are precious, but to the emperor, they are nothing.

Han Gang looked carefully at the prism in his hand, and it was no worse than the crystal products made of precision machinery that he had seen in later generations. If you can borrow this master, maybe in a few days, you will be able to grind the lens out.

"This is a prism, right?" Zhao Ji said, "Fang Cai used it to face a ray of sunlight, and it did emit seven colors, just like rainbow light. It's exactly the same as what you said, Han Qing. ”

Han Gang was treated by the edict the day before yesterday, and talked about the prism while the iron was hot. Zhao Ji was very interested in this, and immediately named the craftsman to build.

"There are many rainbows after rain, and it must be when the sky is clear and the sun comes out. It is the water vapor that remains in the air, which reflects the sunlight. Its essence is the same as the seven colors of light separated by the prism. ”

Zhao Ji also heard Han Gang mention these the days before yesterday, and if he understands the composition of sunlight, he can understand where the color of all things comes from. I was just listening. However, when the prism was polished, there was an intuitive understanding.

Zhao Ji smiled and took back the prism and played with it in his hand, "The more things are learned, the more reasonable it is, and it is indeed unstoppable." Zhang Zai is indeed a new idea in Confucianism. ”

"Not only is it a family teacher, Luoyang Ercheng has also said things." Han Gang saw the opportunity: "Nowadays, all Confucian families have their reasonable side. If you can gather the world's famous Confucians, discuss the new meaning of the scriptures, and your majesty will personally adjudicate. The grand events of Shiqu Pavilion and White Tiger Temple can also be reproduced in this world. Otherwise, it will be difficult to laugh and be generous. ”

The Shiqu Pavilion Conference and the White Tiger View Conference were the grand meetings of Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty and Emperor Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty to gather the world's famous Confucians and discuss Confucian classics together.

"............" Zhao Ji was silent for a while, and even put down the prism in his hand.

Of course, Zhao Ji didn't want the outside world or future generations to laugh at him. But he knew that this thing was not easy to do. Although the disputes between various schools of thought cannot be said to be life and death, they can also be regarded as contradictory to each other.

And even if it was Shiqu Pavilion and White Tiger Temple, the conclusions reached at the meeting were completely abandoned not long after. Otherwise, the Han Confucian commentaries that have been handed down to this day would not have been written by Zheng Xuan in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Zhao Ji's hesitation, Han Gang saw it in his eyes, and a burst of regret flashed in his heart.

He knew what the Son of Heaven would hesitate to do. Now Wang Anshi is already writing "Zhou Guan Xinyi", while Wang Yan and Lu Huiqing are commenting on "The Book of Songs" and "Shangshu". Zhang Zai said "Yi" a lot, but he is also familiar with "Zhou Li". Han Gang also knew that if Zhang Zai entered Beijing, what he wanted to say would never be limited to Gewu. If all the great Confucians enter Beijing, not to mention how hot the discussion scene will be.

It seems that he is still a little too anxious. Although Zhao Ji is interested in Gewu, he is only interested. The purpose of the Jingyi Bureau is 'one morality', and Han Gang can see that the Son of Heaven is also looking forward to it. However, Han Gang's proposal could not bring a unified classic interpretation to Zhao Ji. The rift between several schools of thought is deeper than the gap between the old and new parties, and it is impossible to come up with a result that can be slightly agreed upon by all parties like the two meetings of the White Tiger Temple and the Shiqu Pavilion.

"Sure enough...... Han Gang sighed secretly, even if Zhao Ji became interested in the theory of things, and created such a big momentum through the falling object experiment, he was still vulnerable in the face of power. At present, the Son of Heaven only has a little interest in Gewu Zhizhi, but this interest can hardly withstand his desire to stabilize the court situation and control his thoughts.

It seems that it is not possible to go to the upper level after all, and you have to rely on yourself. When his status is a little higher, his status like Wang Anshi is almost the same.

In that case, it's better to settle for the next best thing. Use things for ten, get two or three. It's a loss, but it's good to let the reputation of Gewuxue spread in the capital.

Han Gang's goal is clear.

His memory of later science is only at the level of junior high school, and his understanding of the subset of classics and history is limited to the scope of the examination of the Jinshi Imperial Examination. As for philosophy, it is indeed important, but there are different families, and Han Gang does not have the strength to spend too much energy on it. So he has always put Guan Xue's clothes on his body, and someone will summarize it in the future. What Han Gang wanted to do was to popularize the understanding of natural science in this era and improve the productive forces. If industry can emerge, new interest groups will demand more power.

So now that the path of the initial calculation does not work, it is better to change it. As long as you can finally reach your destination, which way you go, it doesn't matter so much.

After figuring it out, Han Gang didn't make any more recommendations, but let it go, and discussed optical refraction and reflection with Zhao Ji on the prism.

It's not too late to lay the foundation in the future and make a comeback!
