Chapter 80: In the Taishi Bureau

Anwa turned over in the room and stood upside down, his head tilted back, and his head was easily pressed against his legs, and his head could even be stretched from the bottom of the stride to the front. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When people suddenly turn around and change directions, it will be very difficult for the body to sprain due to various shackles, and it is easy to cause sprains.

But Anhe won't be now.

He was excited, and he was constantly changing his postures like an old boy, which was as difficult as even the softest gymnast in the world.

After doing it a few more times, the original pain disappeared, and in its place, a feeling of extreme itching transmitted from the depths of the bones.

The pain is bearable, but this itch is really unbearable, and An He can hardly bear it.

I wanted to scratch but couldn't, and I wanted to split the bones and smash them.

Whenever I make a movement, this itchy feeling disappears, and instead the bones of my whole body are warm, as if I have been soaked in hot water, which is extremely comfortable.

As soon as his movements stopped, the itch would come back and he had to redo it several times, but fortunately, when he was sweating profusely, the itchy feeling gradually disappeared.

An He wiped the sweat on his body with a towel, washed it with water again, and found that the water in the basin was as black as ink, he had a similar experience before, and he was not surprised, but he felt that this time there was more dirt than before.

When he woke up the next morning, An He found that he seemed to have grown a few centimeters taller than before, and he was in a good mood, although he was sixteen years old, his height was beyond the category of a second-class disability.

Today, when he was idle, An He wanted to go to the Taishi Bureau where he worked, but he didn't know where the Taishi Bureau was, so he asked Yu Chi Xunlin for advice, and Wei Chi Xunshan told him that the Taishi Bureau was located on the east side of Hanguang Gate in the west of Miyagi.

Anhe went west from Yongxingfang through Jingfeng Gate, passed through Anmen Street, Chengtianmen Street, arrived at Hanguangmen Street, and entered for more than half an hour before walking to the Taishi Bureau located on the east side of Hanguangmen Street.

An He looked at it, and there were two stone lions standing at the gate of the Taishi Bureau, which were not much bigger than dogs, which were twice as small as the two stone lions that he passed by at the gate of Sinong Temple.

There is a plaque of three big characters of "Taishi Bureau" inscribed by Taizong Li Shimin on the gatehouse that is not high, due to a long time, the red paint on the plaque has fallen off, and it can be clearly seen that the plaque is made of Nanmu.

The huge courtyard of the Taishi Bureau does not even have a gatekeeper.

An He walked in, the yard is not small, there are one or two acres of land, eight main houses, it can be seen from the glazed tiles on the roof that are damaged in many places, and the time to build it will not be too short.

A platform more than two feet high is built in the east of the courtyard, which is a little abrupt in the whole slightly low building, and when you get closer, you find that there are three words "stargazing platform" inscribed on it.

Beneath the observatory was a small house, the house had no curtains, and through the window, Ann and saw a copper sphere resembling a globe placed on an iron shelf.

The meridian ring, the horizon ring, the outer equatorial ring, the twenty-eight nights, the latitude and longitude 365 degrees are clearly marked on it, An He was a little shocked when he saw it, he didn't expect the Tang Dynasty to be able to produce such a precise celestial sphere, which must be the armillary sphere recorded in the "Zizhi Tongjian" and designed by Li Chunfeng.

If you look closely, the top of this thing is written in small block letters about the seven-year system of Zhenguan, which further confirms Anhe's idea that the armillary sphere recorded in the "Zizhi Tongjian" was made in the seventh year of Zhenguan.

In the center of the yard is a flower bed, which is planted with flowers, roses, peonies and other flowers, because of infrequent watering, the leaves appear lifeless, the peony flowers bloom smaller than the normal moon flowers, and the moon flowers are only as big as copper coins.

There were more than ten houses, and only two doors were open, and An He walked into one of the rooms, where there were a few generals in Jiupin official uniforms chatting somewhere, each holding a cup in his hand. There are also two who drink tea and read a book at the same time.

An He thought to himself: This style is no different from that of modern civil servants! A typical cup of tea, a cigarette, a newspaper to read for half a day.

In the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period, Taishi was in charge of drafting documents, ordering princes and doctors, recording historical events, compiling historical books, and taking charge of national classics, astronomical calendars, sacrifices, etc., as the minister of the imperial court.

Sui changed his name to Taishi Supervisor, Tang changed his name to Taishi Bureau, his responsibilities have decreased, and he is only in charge of calculating the calendar, watching celestial phenomena, and sometimes studying some arithmetic, and has been reduced to a pure Qingshui Yamen.

In the Tang Dynasty, even Taishi Ling didn't bother to officially appoint people, and for many years, it has been concurrently served by Xu Jingzong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites is in charge of the decrees of the world's rituals, sacrifices, and tributes. Xu Jingzong is usually busy with government affairs, most of them work in the Ministry of Rites, and almost ignore the Taishi Bureau, although Xu Jingzong is brilliant, but he is not very proficient in astronomy and calendars, and almost all the big and small things are handed over to Li Chunfeng to deal with.

To say that Li Chunfeng is also a great talent, he has been smart and studious since he was a child, and he is well-read, especially proficient in astronomy, calendar, mathematics, astrology, and divination.

He and Yuan Tiangang privately wrote a book "Tui Bei Tu", which was famous for the accuracy of his predictions, and once he said to Taizong Li Shimin:

"After the third Tang Dynasty, Li Xing of the Wu Dynasty, now this person has been in His Majesty's palace, as a relative, since now it is only 30 years, when the king of the world, kill the descendants of the Tang Dynasty, and its omen has become a success."

Li Shimin was afraid that he would leak too much of the heavenly secrets, so he asked him not to say much about it, because the emperor has always had a complex of respect and fear for the number of magic. On the one hand, he expects himself to live forever and live forever, and on the other hand, he is worried that others will snoop on his secrets and damage his own interests.

Taizong Li Shimin was jealous of him, although he was asked to serve in the Taishi Bureau, for more than ten years, he was still a petty official of the sixth grade, and Li Shimin would rather let Xu Jingzong work part-time Taishiling than entrust him.

In addition to a few grades of generals who often come to work, few people usually come, and a few people in the house looked at a young man, and thought he had gone to the wrong door, and a twenty-year-old general Shilang stood up and said to An He:

"Hey, young man, this is the Taishi Bureau, you're in the wrong place!"
