Chapter 80: The Great Confucian Zhang Taixu
"The Theory of Qi Ontology... Zhang Taixu..."
Several palm-eyed gentlemen glanced at each other, and after taking the book "The Theory of Qi", they cautiously began to check...
In their profession, they rely on miscellaneous accumulation and eyesight experience, in fact, when they heard the name Zhang Taixu, they had already judged something.
But it was the Overseer who was questioning, and they naturally had to be cautious, and they had to judge before they dared to make a conclusion...
Some people squint and use their lenses to observe the texture on the book cover; Someone sniffs the smell of the book with their nose; Someone flipped through it to check the handwriting of the font...
It's a matter of family life, and it can be said that I haven't been so serious about naming my son as I am now.
After a while, several palm-eyed gentlemen looked at each other, and after glancing at each other, they all nodded slightly...
"Lord Overseer..."
One of the palm-eyed gentlemen stepped forward tremblingly and said: "This book is made of exquisite materials, it is from the previous dynasty Dayan, and Zhang Taixu is also the sage of the Dayan dynasty.
Cao Min and several friends unanimously agreed that the Overseer's "Treatise on Qi Ben" was not a rubbing, but Zhang Taixu's own manuscript. ”
"The former dynasty Dayan... Zhang Taixu... The sages and great Confucians..."
Xu Boqing frowned slightly, and then he thought that when he was studying history in the school, there was indeed such a person in the book, no wonder he felt a little familiar...
This time out of the palace, he was obviously ordered by the emperor to help Emperor Yonghe solve the trouble in his heart, but in fact, it was to fulfill the last wish of Manager Huang.
In addition to this, there is a deeper reason...
In Search of Wonder!!
His current identity is extremely embarrassing, obviously he is just a mortal in the flesh, but what he has learned is obviously beyond the scope of ordinary people...
And because there is no reference to compare, he doesn't even know what kind of state and state he is in now.
This time out of the palace...
In addition to wanting to fulfill Manager Huang's last wish, he also wanted to take this opportunity to get in touch with the immortal cultivators of this world!
It's best to get to know the world and yourself.
Luck can be counted, not long after I went out, I met a spider spirit, and an old man who cultivated immortals...
It's just that the spider is shrewd and has a bustard mother on the surface, but under the skin it is a fierce personality;
And the immortal cultivator is still visiting the kiln when he is old, and he doesn't look like a serious person...
The former lost his innocence, and now he hates himself to the bone; The latter had a misunderstanding as soon as they met, and the person slipped away directly.
Didn't find any useful information...
Nowadays, by chance, I can see strange books, and there are still no traces of rat bites and insects for hundreds of years, and there are even dust-free, clean and overflowing images...
Watching the high arguments in the book, I also feel the heart throbbing.
Zhang Taixu, who wrote "The Theory of Qi", was naturally curious......
Xu Boqing arched his hand and said, "Mr. Lao Fu told me about the deeds of this sage and great Confucian Zhang Taixu, and try to be as detailed as possible..."
The palm-eyed gentleman saw that the overseer was interested in 'Zhang Taixu', and after thinking about it, he cautiously introduced: "Zhang Taixu was born when the Great Yan Dynasty was declining...
He has been smart since he was a child, different from ordinary people, and it is rumored that he is a literary star in the sky.
After admission, the county examination, the government examination, the college examination, the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination are all at the top of the list.
After the official to Zaifu, Sijun served the country, and had a lot of merits...
It can even be said that Zhang Taixu single-handedly continued the national glory for Dayan, which was already declining at that time, for 50 years.
Later, for some reason, he resigned from his official position and worked hard at home to study and speak.
However, no writings were published at the time, and it was not until after his death that his books were made public by his children...
It's just that several of the books are of that kind... That... A book that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
At that time, there were rumors that Zhang Taixu saw through the heavens, and used this to record and book...
It is even rumored that those who understand Zhang Gong's book can become immortals and become Buddhas, and ascend to heaven.
At that time, countless people wanted to peek into the mystery of the book, but the rumors were just rumors after all.
Not to mention becoming an immortal and becoming a Buddha, attaining the Tao and ascending to heaven...
In addition, the Dayan Mountains and Rivers were broken at that time, and the society was shaken, and such rumors were quickly forgotten by people, and those rubbings had no value, and they all became a pile of waste paper.
Now, hundreds of years have passed, and although many of those rubbings have been handed down, many of them are missing.
And your "Treatise on Qi", whether it is handwriting or texture, is not comparable to rubbing, so the grass people concluded that this is one of Zhang Taixu's handwritten manuscripts. ”
He paused, and then said: "This book is a manuscript written by Zhang Taixu, and the collection value is extremely high, if you meet a buyer you like, it will be worth about three or five hundred taels of silver." ”
“……”
Xu Boqing frowned slightly, not half interested in how much silver this book was worth, but was quite interested in what he said about Zhang Taixu's writing.
After pondering for a while, he asked: "I heard what Mr. said just now, after the death of this Taixu, the book he wrote was published by his children, so what other works did he have in the world?" ”
"There are indeed a few more books in circulation..."
Mr. Palm-eyed nodded, pondered for a while and said: "In addition to this "Theory of Qi", what the grass people know is also "Dialectical Theory", "Theory of Cognition", and "Theory of Human Nature", these three books are also written by Zhang Taixu.
Because the content of the book is obscure and difficult to understand, the value is not high, and there is no one to rub it out in later generations, so that there are not many copies that have been handed down to this day. ”
"Dialectic... Epistemology... Theory of Human Nature..."
Xu Boqing nodded thoughtfully and asked, "I wonder if a few gentlemen have collected these books by Zhang Taixu?" I'm willing to pay a high price. ”
“……”
Several palm-eyed gentlemen shook their heads and smiled bitterly after glancing at each other.
One of the gentlemen didn't know what to think, and after leaving the column, he bowed and said, "Lord Overseer, the grass people have a friend who likes to collect such ancient books...
When I went to visit him a few years ago, I happened to hear him mention that he had a collection of "Dialectical Theory", and it was also a manuscript written by Zhang Taixu...
It's just that it's been a long time since this incident, and the grass people don't know if it's true or not. ”
Xu Boqing was overjoyed...
I thought it would be nice to have a rubbing, but I didn't expect that there was information about Zhang Taixu's handwritten manuscript...
"Sir, I wonder if your friend can cut his love?"
“……”
Mr. Palm's face shook and said: "The overseer is serious, that book can be loved by you, my friend is also fortunate to have three lives, and it is too late to give it with both hands, so how can you cut your love?" ”
He paused, and then said with a wry smile: "Even if my friend is not here, but in Xingyuan Mansion, thousands of miles away, the grass people want to introduce the overseer, and they have to delay for a while." ”
"Xingyuan Mansion..."
Xu Boqing's eyes were slightly condensed...
Xingyuan Mansion is far away from here, unless it is the kind of fast horse, otherwise based on the normal foot of the horse, it will take more than a month to go back and forth...
And this trip is a business business, and my group will definitely not be able to wait here.
And the fierce tiger gate to be exterminated seems to be in the territory of the Xingyuan Mansion, so after the nearest Five Poisons Sect is resolved, it can go directly to the Xingyuan Mansion......
Xu Boqing pondered for a while and said, "Our trip happened to pass through Xingyuan Mansion, and there was a letter from Mr. Lao to help introduce him." ”
"The overseer is serious, and the grass people will write..."
"Jiang Jin, you take some money and give it to the old gentleman as a penmanship..."
"Yes!!"
Mr. Palm-Eyed bowed down with a smile on his face, and the others seemed to see some of the doorways.
Another palm-eyed gentleman stepped forward and said, "Lord Governor, the grass people also have a friend who likes to collect such ancient books, and it seems that he has also collected several rubbings of Zhang Taixu.
And Kusaomin's friends are in Kyoto, so it's relatively close.
If the Overseer does not dislike rubbing, the grass people can now go to Kyoto and take a few rubbings from their friends and present them to the Overseer. ”
"Rubbing, it's okay..."
Xu Boqing's eyes moved slightly, and then he shouted, "Kong Qing." ”
"Humble!!"
"You bring some money, go to Kyoto with the old gentleman, buy those rubbings, and return tomorrow..."
Xu Boqing's voice paused, glanced at Kong Qing, and thinking of his irascible personality, he confessed: "Remember, if the other party doesn't sell it, you must also treat each other politely, don't make a mistake." ”
"Hey, lowly provincial."
Kong Qing smiled at the palm-eyed old gentleman after receiving the order, made a gesture of please, and said with a smile: "Old gentleman, please..."
He came from the army, and he was already a tiger with a rough face, and now he squeezed out such a smile, which scared the palm-eyed gentleman enough......
