Chapter 288: Si Tianjian
"Auntie, we've finished telling the story you asked us to tell them."
Li Chongtou didn't raise his head, and replied, "And then, you all discussed the results?"
Li Anren saluted with his hands and said respectfully: "If there is a result, it will be almost a fight."
"So, auntie, is the sun closer in the morning or closer at noon?"
Li Chong said, "Confucius can't answer this question, do you think I can answer it?"
Andrew Lee: "......"
Li Chong: "Actually, the truth of this story is to tell us that we must seek truth from facts, like Confucius, who can be said to be the most learned person a thousand years ago, and when he can't explain it himself, he will also tell others directly, and he doesn't know it."
"Instead of making up an answer yourself."
Seeing that Li Anren was instantly depressed, Li Chong also said, "But...... If you have to ask me if I know, then I can only say that I know a little bit, and compared with Confucius, I may be so much better than him in the field of scientific truth."
Li Anren: "That means you know?"
Li Chong: "I guess I know some, but I don't know much."
……
Subsequently.
Li Chong did a whole day of experiments for them.
Even Yao Yuanchong and Zhang Renqing, who happened to meet each other when they passed by, couldn't help but participate in it curiously.
It's just some of the things that the father-in-law said, which somewhat shattered their three views.
In fact......
As a scientific explanation of the world, this is not necessarily a good thing.
At least for the imperial power.
In the past, Li Chong said that the earth is round, and he usually said it to the emperor's relatives.
If the people of the Tang Dynasty widely know that the earth is actually round, then the imperial rule under the command of heaven may be shaken.
This is why cultists were tied to crosses and roasted on fire in the Middle Ages.
Because you're already involved in someone else's interests.
In fact, the same is true of Datang.
Merely......
The Tang Dynasty may be at least a little more detoured than medieval Europe.
Datang is more afraid of not that you are studying the celestial phenomena, but that some people are afraid of using some currently unexplained celestial phenomena to spread some rumors and encourage the people.
Of course!
You can't say that Datang doesn't rely on these rumors.
It's just that after he has a firm seat, he has changed from relying on these rumors to not letting others take advantage of them.
Speaking of which......
Tang Lu still writes: "All the occult artifacts, astronomical books, prophecy books, military books, Qiyao calendars, Taiyi, and thunder formulas are not allowed in private households, and violators will be imprisoned for two years." The same goes for those who study astronomy privately."
So if you really want to punish Li Chong for a crime, maybe you can start with this.
And......
But anyone who traverses, as long as they touch this piece, can be attacked by political enemies.
This is not!
After Li Chong finished the lecture, Yao Yuanchong and Zhang Renqing mentioned this to Li Chong.
Because......
They were also to learn the law.
After listening to the reminders of the two, Li Zhong also found out Tang Lu and took a look, don't say it, it seems to be the case.
It seems that this thing should be destroyed.
Otherwise, how can Datang's scientific thinking go further?
There is something else to say, why didn't Li Chunfeng give himself a wake-up call back then?
Could this kid ......
Li Chong can only say that he is a little lucky, of course, it is useless to kill him with this.
Could it be that the two children will be dragged to behead for a long time?
So......
This Tang law is also estimated to have to be changed.
Soon......
Li Chong wrote a letter to Li Chengqian, the general meaning of which was that it was necessary to properly popularize the relevant geographical and astronomical knowledge, and at the same time, Tang Law should also be revised, and it was no problem to study astronomy privately, but it was necessary to study it with a scientific and rigorous attitude, rather than spreading rumors and endangering the interests of the country and the people of the Tang Dynasty after learning.
All I can say is......
Li Chong is also not afraid of being beheaded.
I dared to bring it up so aggressively.
If someone were to impeach him at this time, it would definitely be impeached.
But of course!
Who would do this kind of well-fed thing, so although I feel that Li Chong's performance seems to be a bit "out of bounds", but, after all, it is His Majesty's teacher, it is better to have more than one thing than one thing less.
And then......
This matter was so naturally passed, and no one objected.
After waiting for a few days, the eldest grandson Wuji heard that there was such a thing, Li Chong can be said to be the lifelong enemy of the eldest grandson Wuji, not that the eldest grandson Wuji has a bad brain, the eldest grandson Wuji simply feels that Li Chong may be unreliable, and he looks at Li Chong unpleasantly.
If it were twenty years ago, the eldest grandson Wuji would definitely impeach Li Chong.
I had to let Li Chong go to work as a coolie for two years.
But now......
He couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Because Qian'er has already ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, and Li Chong has not become the prime minister.
As a lifelong enemy, at this moment, the eldest grandson Wuji can't help but admire Li Chong a little.
Because......
If he has the same status as Li Chong, he will definitely not be as determined as Li Chong, and he can even retire successfully.
Thereupon......
Another month later.
In the science newspaper of the Academy of Sciences, such an article was published, "Debating the Sun with Two Children: On the Outline of the World".
As soon as the article was published, it caused an immediate uproar.
After all......
Countless people think it's right when they're young, and now it's all wrong, you say?
How can they accept this?
And......
How can you make them accept that they are actually standing on top of a ball.
But the good thing!
The culture and atmosphere of Datang are also open.
In addition, the Science Newspaper did not say that it was like that, but through various phenomena and experiments, it can be deduced that this world is probably like this.
This is a completely new, and it should be said that the most factual theoretical model.
Only if the world is like this, then many things in reality can be explained.
This side of the Taishi Bureau.
For them, this can be said to be earth-shattering news.
However, Li Chunfeng is very determined.
After all......
It wasn't the first time he'd heard such statements.
In fact, if you want to say who is most harmful to this article, it is undoubtedly the Taishi Bureau.
Because the Taishi Bureau used to have all the right to interpret the celestial phenomena.
When is auspicious, when is fierce.
It's usually all up to them.
Although the status of the DPRK is not very high.
However, by virtue of being able to pretend to be a ghost, you can still get a lot of gray income.
But now......
There is a faint hint of this science newspaper that they want to take out their plates.
Even the plates were not left for them.
Soon......
The Taishi Bureau was told that from now on, the Taishi Bureau will be under the jurisdiction of the Academy of Sciences and belong to a department under the Academy of Sciences. Later, the name was changed to the Academy of Sciences, Si Tianjian.
