The Emperor Taishang ripped the emperor down the stairs, this picture is too beautiful to see.

The ministers all set their sights on the map, starting from their hometowns and extending towards the surrounding maps. Finally, focus on the Western Regions, which is a mystery that everyone is curious about.

Zhu Ming saw that his father was looking energetic, and it was impossible to come down for a while, so he simply turned around and walked into the secret pavilion.

The three pavilions are one, and they are all in the Chongwen Academy.

The three halls are located on the southeast, west and west sides, and the secret pavilion is the middle hall of the Chongwen Academy.

Although the Secret Pavilion is only a two-story building, it is extremely wide and tall.

The original collection of paintings and calligraphy alone included the following authors: Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi, Yu Liang, Xiao Ziyun, Li Shimin, Li Longji, Yan Zhenqing, Ouyang Xun, Liu Gongquan, Huai Su, Huairen, Gu Kaizhi, Han Gan, Xue Ji, Dai Song, Li Zanhua, Huang Zhen......

Zhao Guangyi held book viewing meetings from time to time, shared his collection with ministers, and even called foreign envoys to show the merits of the Great Song Dynasty.

Later emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty followed this practice and built their own library pavilions: Longtu Pavilion, Tianzhang Pavilion, Baowen Pavilion, Xianmo Pavilion, Huiyou Pavilion, Fuwen Pavilion and so on.

During the Song Zhenzong period, the secret pavilion was burned down.

Books and catalogues have copies, so they can be recovered. However, all the paintings and calligraphy of celebrities were burned, and only a small number of those that were transferred to Longtu Pavilion and Taiqing Building survived.

The super-large map of the Tang Dynasty spliced on the outside is definitely not the original, and most of it belongs to the copy.

Zhu Ming casually took out a book, and when he opened the title page, he knew that it was a copy.

Because of the official manuscript of the Song Dynasty, the characteristics are very obvious.

Zhu Ming beckoned to the eunuch who accompanied him: "Order the officials of the Library Pavilion to search for the collections related to the map." Once found, move here immediately, and then send it to Taiqing Building. ”

Taiqing Building is located in the back garden of the Imperial Palace, which is equivalent to the emperor's private library building.

The emperor has an order, and the chickens fly and the dogs jump.

Not only did the three pavilions take action, but Longtu Pavilion and Tianzhang Pavilion were also busy.

In fact, it is not difficult to find, and the collection must be classified, just go directly to the relevant area of the map.

Pictures were sent one after another, including more than 20 planks.

These wooden boards are carved with a topographic map of the northern frontier of the Great Song Dynasty. The peaks are high, the rivers meander and each mountain, each river, the height and size are different.

Great Song 3D Frontier Map!

Zhu Ming stared at it in silence for a moment and asked, "Where did you find it?" ”

A young official stepped forward: "All are hidden in the Xianmo Pavilion and engraved by Shen Kuo, the former minister of the Song Dynasty." ”

These 3D maps are also made by Shen Kuo.

Shen Kuo is also a geographer, and he believes that the deep valley of Yandang Mountain was formed by the erosion of flowing water. By observing the fossils of Taihang Mountain, it was concluded that this place belonged to the seaside in ancient times. The entire North China Plain is formed by alluvial sediment in the river. Looking at the plant fossils in Yanzhou, it is inferred that the climate here was more humid in ancient times.

Zhu Guoxiang didn't know when he had left the wooden ladder, looked at the 3D map and sighed: "Shen Kuo is talented." ”

Zhu Ming said: "You can collect and sort out Shen Kuo's posthumous works in various library pavilions. Let the descendants of Shen Kuo's brothers also dedicate their suicide note. All of Shen Kuo's books were compiled into a book, which was studied by the Academy of Astronomy and the Ministry of Engineering. ”

Hu Anguo arched his hand and said: "Although the two Majesties Shen Kuo are talented, they dare not compliment him personally. Even if you want to study it, you shouldn't make a big deal of it. ”

The important ministers of the cabinet and the court echoed this statement, and they all thought that Shen Kuo's conduct was not good.

Zhu Ming was not surprised by this, because when he brought Shen Kuo into the Temple of Literature to worship, the Manchu ministers had already admonished him.

Of course, it has nothing to do with reporting Su Shi, the main thing is that Shen Kuo jumped sideways when he changed the law, offending both the old and new parties.

Shen Kuo's report on Su Shi was already nothing.

This thing was first published in Wang Gong's "Yuan You Supplement", which is an isolated evidence and does not have any historical data to support it. Even the son of the author Wang Gong does not agree with this statement.

Moreover, there are many mistakes.

In particular, the sentence "Liu Shu jokingly said: Don't worry about entering", it can be 100% concluded that it is made up.

In October of the sixth year of Xining, Shen Kuo left Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it was November when he returned to Beijing. In the first month of the following year, Liu Shu passed through Runzhou from Jiangxi, when Su Shi was in Runzhou for disaster relief.

In just one month, Shen Kuo impeached Su Shi in the capital, and the news had already reached Zhenjiang? Either this matter has caused a storm in the city, or someone has reported to Su Shi.

However, the old and new parties involved in this case, they are all bigwigs in the literary world, and there are countless protégés and former officials, but none of them mentioned Shen Kuo's report. Later, Shen Kuo offended the old and new factions, and his reputation was as bad as a rat crossing the street, but no one still said that he had reported Su Shi.

No one knew, including Su Shi himself, only the author of "Yuan You Supplement" knew, and the author's son also wrote a book against this view.

Li Zhiyi, the author of "Fortune Operator, I Live at the Head of the Yangtze River", is a mutual friend of Su Shi and Shen Kuo. No matter when and where, he carries the portraits of Su Shi and Shen Kuo. He played with Shen Kuo and Su Shi, and never mentioned it.

When the "Wutai Poetry Case" broke out, Li Zhiyi asked Shen Kuo to write an epitaph for his mother, and at the same time actively ran to rescue Su Shi.

The entire case, all the original files, impeachment papers, interrogation records, and evidence verdicts were leaked to the people because of the Jingkang Incident. It was also sorted out and printed into a book, and Shen Kuo was not mentioned anywhere. Not to mention Shen Kuo at that time, even Wang Anshi had a bad reputation, who would deliberately delete Shen Kuo's black material?

Shen Kuo and Su Shi communicated privately, and they could only be determined once.

It was more than ten years after the Wutai poetry case, Su Shi was ordered to return to Beijing and pass through Runzhou, and Shen Kuo happened to move to Runzhou to settle down. Shen Kuo gave Su Shi the graphite that he had made and treasured for many years, and Su Shi also wrote a record of "Graphite in the Book Shen Cun".

is a very normal article, but it is interpreted by people with a heart as indifferent, and the intimate relationship between the two is no longer the same.

Intimacy, the previous relationship between the two has never been recorded. Even Su Shi privately gave poems to Shen Kuo, it is very likely that they were fabricated by "Yuan You Supplement", because there is no other source to be found.

In addition, Su Shi wrote a lot about ink strips, and the writing did not talk about feelings, but only focused on expounding all kinds of ink. Could it be that Su Shi is alienated from all the old friends who gave him ink slips?

……

Of course, Qin Hui didn't care about Shen Kuo's private morality, he only needed to cater to the emperor, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Pei Xiu's cartography only has six bodies, but Shen Kuo's cartography has seven laws and twenty-four solstices. That is, the vertical and horizontal twelve grids, one way to use the ground branch, the other way to take the heavenly stem of its eight plus four hexagrams. You can get a straight line distance by ignoring the ups and downs of the mountains and rivers just like a bird flying directly. ”

"Fabulous!" Zhu Ming nodded and smiled.

The ministers watched for a while, and dispersed one after another, and Qin Hui also retired happily.

Zhu Ming called an official from the Ministry of Industry who knew how to make a map to make a copy of the super map of the Tang Dynasty, so as not to burn it down again one day.

Shen Kuo's various works were successively sent to Taiqing Building.

Zhu Guoxiang, who was going to go to Zhongnan Mountain Design Villa, read and studied carefully in Qingfeng Building for a few days, and suddenly became addicted to Shen Kuo's works and couldn't leave.

He called his son over and said, "Qin Hui is wrong. ”

"What's wrong?" Zhu Ming didn't understand.

Zhu Guoxiang said: "Qin Hui said that Shen Kuo's "Map of the Counties and Counties of the World" was wrong, which was Qin Hui's mistake. Shen Kuo's "Map of the Counties and Counties of the World" is right, what is wrong is the maps of the past dynasties since Pei Xiu, including the super large map of the Tang Dynasty. Even Shen Kuo's flying bird diagram method, Qin Hui was completely mistaken. ”

Zhu Ming was even more curious: "Throughout the ages, everyone is wrong, but Shen Kuo is right?" ”

Zhu Guoxiang nodded: "Because ancient and modern cartographers used the earth as a plane to draw maps. So the farther away from the center point, the greater the error of the map. However, Shen Kuo's bird drawing method is based on the earth, and he does not regard the earth as a plane. Qin Hui thought that there was an error in Shen Kuo's mapping, but in fact, it was the correct map after correction! ”

"So awesome?" Zhu Ming was surprised.

Zhu Guoxiang pointed to the large pile of drawings on the bookshelf: "Those are astronomical maps drawn by Shen Kuo, there are more than 200 in total. If you compare Shen Kuo's astronomical map with Shen Kuo's map, it is actually easy to find that the format of the two is exactly the same. It's just that when Shen Kuo drew the map, he replaced the stars in the sky with the counties on the ground. ”

Zhu Ming smiled: "Yes, Dean Zhu." I only knew that you could farm, but I didn't expect to be proficient in astronomy and geography. ”

Zhu Guoxiang said: "I used to live in Tokyo, and Song Huizong did not allow me to take leave to return to my hometown. I was bored and began to study ancient astronomy, and I haven't fallen behind in the past few years. ”

Qin Hui read Shen Kuo's book and misunderstood Shen Kuo's 24 solstices in cartography. It is not a vertical and horizontal twelve grids at all, and the twenty-four solstice of Shen Kuo represents the angular direction, which is named after the twelve branches, eight stems, and four hexagrams, which is the same as the water floating compass in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty. That is, Shen Kuo combined the map and the compass, and used the twenty-four solstice to mark the magnetic azimuth, which was a breakthrough in the history of Chinese cartography. ”

"Holding Shen Kuo's map and holding the compass can be operated in a foolish manner."

That's why Shen Kuocai said in the book that he only needs to record the places in his map, as well as the azimuth and distance of the markers. Even if the map is lost in the future, you can use these values to redraw the map without leaving home. ”

Zhu Ming can only use two words to evaluate: "Awesome!" ”

Zhu Guoxiang sneered: "Qin Hui is too anxious to ask for credit, as long as he compares Shen Kuo's astronomical maps and maps, and carefully discerns and thinks, he can understand these." But he took the map and went to the court, and said that Shen Kuo's map was not accurate, and he didn't understand Shen Kuo's original meaning at all. ”

"What you need to do in the future is to fill in the blanks in Shen Kuo's map. He lacked materials when he was making the map, and he could not send people to survey and map on the spot, and many remote places were blank. Especially in the southwestern barbarian land, you have to send troops to capture it before you can make the Ministry of Industry survey and map in more detail. ”

"By the way, we also need to add latitude and longitude lines, Shen Kuo's map doesn't have this thing."

Zhu Ming said with a smile: "You can start doing it now, and send people to survey and map all the places that have been actually controlled." Especially on the Youzhou side, which belonged to the territory of the Liao State at that time, Shen Kuo had never been there at all, and only relied on the data of the Tang Dynasty to draw it. ”

Drawing a map is also the emperor's work of cultural governance, and it is very, very important.
