After a stroll around the city, the Jinshi returned to the dormitory of the Baogong Palace one after another.

Everyone's faces were beaming with joy, and there was even a feeling of floating in the clouds. Wearing court clothes, hairpins, officials leading horses, and the people praise, who can withstand such a grand scene?

Li Tong asked the official who led the horse for him: "My luggage and personal entourage are still on the side of the Chengnan Inn, can I take this horse to go over?" ”

"If you are good at horseback riding, you can do it." This official is Cao Peng, the Kaifeng Mansion, who led the horse for Li Tong for two or three hours, but he didn't want to continue to accompany the new branch Jinshi to toss around.

Li Tong said with a smile: "In my hometown, I often ride a horse drunk at night, and I still take country roads, and I can go to the battlefield with superb riding skills." ”

"You can do it yourself."

The officials found a place to sit down, and they, the officials who led the horses, could have dinner here tonight at public expense.

Li Tong laughed, turned over on the horse in a slippery manner, and was really skilled in riding.

"Drive!"

This new science detective Hua Lang rode away on the steed of the Heavenly Eunuch.

In order to suppress his irritable temper, his teacher Luo Congyan not only taught him to meditate, but also stipulated that he should not take too many steps when he went out and walked.

At this time, who cares more?

The officer leading the horse stood up and shouted: "Don't run on the streets of Tokyo, if you make a mess, you will be whipped if you are caught!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Li Tong responded with a whip, and disappeared into the street in the blink of an eye.

As a character of Cheng Zhulixue, Li Tong is still a hot-blooded young man, and he does not have so many rules and regulations in his heart.

Zhang Jiucheng was not so chic, he returned the horse to the officials of Tiansi Prison, and quietly found Zhao Ding and said: "Dare to ask Fu Yin, when will the new branch jinshi be paid?" ”

Zhao Ding saw that his face was clear and thin, and probably guessed that he was shy in his pocket: "I have some money here, just use it." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, the money is still enough." Zhang Jiucheng said goodbye, reluctant to spend money on renting a car, and walked to a suburban house to pick up his luggage.

Zhao Ding was quite emotional in his heart, and caught up and said: "Three days later, the Qionglin banquet, the official family will reward the new science and technology jinshi." ”

"Thank you!"

Zhang Jiucheng made another move, and finally had a bottom in his heart.

His ancestors moved from Kaifeng to Hangzhou, bought hundreds of acres of land, and built a country house in Qiantang County.

But Zhu Mian and Fang La took turns tossing, Song Huizong was also rampant in Hangzhou, and Zhang Jiucheng's land had been sold out.

Even when I went to Beijing to take the exam this time, I took a free official boat along the way, but the accommodation expenses along the way were borrowed. After all, sometimes you have to change ships halfway, and the official ship is not available at any time, and you often need to stay and wait.

The treasure palace is in the north of the inner city, and Zhang Jiucheng first walked to the south city, and then went to the suburbs to pick up things.

Afraid that it would be too late to enter the city, he even trotted all the way out.

It took more than three hours to go back and forth, and I was carrying a large bag on my back journey.

He was afraid of soiling his newly-issued court clothes and boots, and replaced them with shabby cloth clothes and shoes, and when he returned to the city, he was exhausted and out of breath.

Sooner than later, the gates will be closed!

A driver passed by him, caught a glimpse of the Jinxian crown and hairpin on Zhang Jiucheng's head, and quickly stopped and asked, "Xianggong wants to take a car?" ”

Zhang Jiucheng smiled: "No need, thank you for your kindness." ”

The person who drove the car felt that this Jinshi was very polite, and couldn't help but say: "Xianggong is going to Baogong Palace?" I'll pull you over, I don't want money. ”

"No, it's almost there." Zhang Jiucheng continued to move forward.

The driver shook his head and drove away.

I didn't go far, another sedan chair stopped, and a rich man opened the sedan curtain and asked, "Do you want to sit in a sedan chair?" This sedan chair is very comfortable, and I can send the prime minister to the treasure palace. ”

"No, thank you for your kindness." Zhang Jiucheng continued to walk with his luggage on his back.

Along the way, many well-wishers wanted to help, but he politely declined.

At the beginning of the lanterns of Pan Lou and Fan Lou, the rich and noble guests began to listen to music and feast.

Zhang Jiucheng, who was dressed in shabby cloth clothes, wore a virtuous crown on his head, carried a large bag of things, and walked in front of Pan Lou and Fan Lou with a bent body.

It's almost there, as long as you pass the paper shop in front, it is the Baogong Palace where the new science and technology scholars live.

There's a party going on, free official meals.

In addition to the new science and technology scholars, there are also officials who help them lead horses through the streets.

"Why hasn't this Zhang Zishao come back yet?"

"He wants to be cheap, and the rented place is very far away, and it takes an hour to walk out of the city."

"It's really confusing, I've come back a long time ago to rent a car, let us wait for him with hundreds of people!"

"Why don't you start the table first?"

"Zhao Fu Yin let you wait, can you still move the chopsticks first?"

“……”

The crowd waited anxiously, especially the officials who led the horses, who had already gone hungry when they walked around the city during the day.

"It's back, it's back!"

The officials guarding outside immediately shouted when they saw Zhang Jiucheng.

Several officials quickly stepped forward, ignoring Zhang Jiucheng's refusal, and directly helped him move the salute into the Baoqi Palace, and then surrounded him and hurried to the main hall to eat.

This hall used to be the place where Lin Lingsu preached, and Song Huizong and ministers and magnates would come to listen.

Now the tables are full, and hundreds of people are seated at different tables.

The clothes issued by the imperial court were court clothes, which could only be worn on important occasions, so the jinshi changed into their own clothes.

Zhang Jiucheng took off the virtuous crown while walking, and apologized all the way: "It's late, it's late, please bear ......with me."

Zhao Ding smiled and beckoned: "Come and sit here!" ”

Everyone was wearing beautiful clothes, and even those officials of Kaifeng Mansion changed into their best clothes.

Only Zhang Jiucheng was wearing a patched cloth coat, sitting among these hundreds of people, as if he had come to serve tea and pour water to do chores.

Zhao Ding got up and raised his glass, said a few words briefly, and let the already hungry crowd open the table.

Everyone touched a glass first, and then ate to fill their stomachs.

Li Yi couldn't help but ask: "Zishao's family is in trouble?" ”

Zhang Jiucheng swallowed a few mouthfuls of food, did not feel embarrassed at all, and replied calmly: "It used to be quite passable, there are hundreds of acres of land in Qiantang County, and there is a shop in Hangzhou City. First, Zhu Mian used the Huashi Gang to loot, and then met Fang La to enter Hangzhou. Alas, it's hard to put it into words......"

Hu Quan said: "I heard that the faint gentleman went to Hangzhou, and he also looted excessively. ”

Zhang Jiucheng said: "After the faint monarch arrived in Hangzhou, he actually connived at the traitorous ministers to brace the fields outside the city. Nearly half of my family's hundreds of acres of land have been made into the imperial village. ”

Zhao Ding asked: "After Cao Hou (Li Bao) took Hangzhou, didn't he return the land of Zishao's family?" ”

Zhang Jiucheng explained: "Cao Hou marched into the army quickly, how could he have time to stay in Hangzhou to deal with civil affairs? Later, the imperial court sent Zhang Xianggong as a political envoy, but he began to check the acres of land in Hangzhou, but I was also in a hurry to enter Beijing to take the exam, and now I don't know if I have taken back the land. ”

"The faint king has no way, and even the scholar's land and property are occupied, and he deserves to die and the country be destroyed!" Li Gongmao slapped the table and scolded.

Yang Ji raised his glass and said: "The official family and the prince are benevolent and love the people, this cup is for the official family and the prince!" ”

Everyone hurriedly stood up and clinked glasses.

After scolding Song Huizong for a while, and praising the benevolent government of the new dynasty, everyone finally began to chat.

Li Gongmao pointed to the clan brother on the table in the distance: "My brother is in a hurry, and when he encountered a physics problem of picking a lock with an iron rod, he actually used a brush to pry the bowl to get the answer." ”

"Hahahaha!"

Li Yi laughed and said, "I'm a clay stove with chopsticks." ”

The crowd listened and began to turn the conversation to physics.

Li Yi asked, "Have you all studied physics?" ”

"Learned."

There were a full twelve people sitting at this big round table, except for Zhao Ding, the rest were the top eleven of today's science and technology scholars.

Six of the eleven had studied physics.

Zhang Jiucheng said excitedly: "The prince's "Tao Strategy", the people's daily use is the Tao, and only seven words directly point to the true meaning of the avenue, and when you first read it, it makes people wake up like a big dream!" ”

Zhang Jiucheng certainly accepted this theory, because even if there was no Zhu Ming, he would have proposed "the Tao is used daily" and "the Tao is inseparable".

This gentleman's academic thinking is extremely outlandish!

On the one hand, he practiced Buddhism, introduced Buddhism into Confucianism, and believed that everything in the world was illusory.

On the other hand, he also believed that one must obtain from these illusions in order to become a saint.

He not only created the prototype of the study of mind, but also advocated the application of what he had learned, and abandoned the vain things in Confucianism.

"Taking nothingness as the way is enough to destroy the country. With daily use as the way, the honor of the three generations of Yao Shun is also. This is the core proposition of the Yokoura School founded by Zhang Jiucheng.

Li Tong clapped his hands and said: "Yes, the reason of all things can be glimpsed into the avenue!" ”

Zhang Jiucheng said: "The physics of the prince is too detailed, and it is too important to ignore one of them. ”

"Otherwise, one and ten thousand, ten thousand and one, are really one." Li Tong immediately retorted.

"Non-yes, non-......"

Li Tong is a key figure in the connection between the previous and the next.

Zhang Jiucheng, the patriarch of psychology.

The two debated at the dinner table, they both agreed with the knowledge of things and Zhu Ming's theory of Taoism, but they had different understandings of how to seek the Tao from things.

Chatting and chatting, Hu Quan also joined in: "The way of the prince exists in numbers, and recently people have been studying mathematics and found that the principle of all things can be explained by mathematics. If it can't be explained mathematically, then it must have not found a way out. This principle is not my nonsense, the official family and the prince have already understood, and it is hidden between the lines of "Tao Strategy". ”

Li Yi's scripture is the Book of Changes, and he is quite proficient in mathematics: "Yi also, number also." Recently, I have also studied mathematics, the origin of this avenue, the official family and the prince are really pedantic. ”

Li Gongmao said: "The road is too far, but it is really close." I don't want to seek the truth, I only want to apply what I have learned, and make a living for all the people in the world. ”

"This is reasonable," Zhang Jiucheng raised his glass and said, "With daily use as the way, it will be Yao Shun's three generations of honors!" ”

In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, due to the danger of the country and the lack of livelihood of the people, not only a large number of famous commanders and fierce generals emerged, but also a variety of academic ideas emerged.

Many of the founders or promoters of these ideas are among the Jinshi in this session.

And now that they have come into contact with the mathematics and physics brought by Zhu Ming, they don't know what kind of sparks of ideas will collide in the future.

Zhang Jiucheng chatted with everyone late into the night, and after the banquet, they were still lying in the dormitory debating.

It feels so cool, it's as refreshing as being admitted to the Jinshi!
