Chapter 2250 Getting along
Yuan Tiangang didn't say anything, but Fang Jun hadn't realized the risks yet.
In later generations, the art of finding dragons and pointing holes may only be used as an auxiliary method for tomb robbing and excavation. Although it is mysterious, it is nothing more than that. It can also be used to teach people about Feng Shui and become a "Feng Shui Mr."
However, in ancient times, this technology itself was miraculous, but it also contained great risks. "Water can carry a boat and capsize it." If you know this technology, you can help the emperor find the dragon veins to bury in the mausoleum, and you can also find the dragon veins to bury them. Discover...
This kind of person can either be controlled by me or be humanely destroyed and nothing will be left.
How can I let you jump around?
Yuan Tiangang looked at Fang Jun's face slowly turning pale and said teasingly: "Are you still going to learn? The old man keeps his word. If you want to learn, you will teach me everything you have, and you will never hide anything!"
Fang Jun said sternly: "The Taoist master is an artist and a scholar. How can the younger generation learn the essence if they are stupid? If you spend all your efforts and only learn the superficial knowledge in the end, and still accomplish nothing in your old age, then it's okay not to learn."
Yuan Tiangang pointed at Fang Jun and said to Sun Simiao: "Look, I said he is as shameless as Pei Shiju, am I right? He is obviously so scared that his courage is about to break, but he can still talk nonsense and find himself a seemingly High-sounding reasons.”
Sun Simiao said, "Is there something going on in Erlang's house?"
Fang Jun shook his head and said: "It's nothing important."
Sun Simiao nodded and said: "Then stay here. In the evening, the old Taoist will organize a vegetarian meal. Let's admire the moon from the window and taste the generosity and joy of Cao Mengde's "Singing over wine, what is the shape of life?"
Although there is almost a hundred years difference in age between him and Fang Jun, it is surprising that Fang Jun always has novel topics and ideas, which makes him, an old man who has seen the ups and downs of the world, unable to help but be attracted to them. It is a kind of collision of souls, which is especially important to Taoist celebrities who pay attention to self-cultivation.
From time to time with Fang Junliao, Sun Simiao felt that he seemed to be able to see through the wonderful future in the farthest reaches of his limited life...
Fang Jun did not agree, but just looked at Yuan Tiangang and said: "Daozhang Sun's Suzhai is naturally one of the best delicacies in the world. This junior can only dream of it. It's just that although this junior is shameless, he doesn't want to be a bad guest... …”
Yuan Tiangang snorted coldly: "Leave if you want, stay if you want. Who can listen to these words?"
He would also like Fang Jun to stay in order to discuss strategies to persuade His Majesty Li Er. After all, this boy is the most favored son-in-law and minister in front of His Majesty Li Er. His understanding of His Majesty Li Er's temperament is definitely not that of his. Xianyun Yehe can be compared.
If Fang Jun is willing to make suggestions, the chance of success will be greatly improved.
It's just that he refuses to be relaxed at all...
*****
Sun Simiao's ability to manage vegetarian food was second-to-none in the world, but Fang Jun's concept of "medicinal diet" that he used to deceive people was a scumbag in front of Sun Simiao.
Since ancient times, the Chinese people have paid attention to the "source of medicine and food". What can be eaten, what can't be eaten in excess, and how the body will react after taking something. They have already figured out a set of mature rules, which have been passed down from word of mouth. , until it was formed into written form and passed on to later generations.
In the eyes of the Chinese ancestors, there is almost nothing in this world that cannot be eaten. The only difference lies in eating more, eating less, and how to eat...
Sun Simiao was obsessed with medical skills throughout his life and was proficient in medicine. Therefore, he was particularly proficient in "medicinal diet". In addition to maintaining health and curing diseases, Sun Simiao also tasted delicious.
Unlike Sun Simiao, who was obsessed with one subject, Yuan Tiangang dabbled in a wide range of subjects.
He is proficient in fortune-telling, stargazing, stargazing, etc. He is best at the art of stargazing, but what he is most interested in is the way of stargazing...
While the wine was in full swing, this Taoist priest, whose reputation has been passed down through the ages, casually talked about various stargazing terms, and his pride was palpable.
But facing Yuan Tiangang's endless astronomical terms, Fang Jun was quite speechless.
For example, Yuan Tiangang said that the sun is actually not static. "Huainanzi" said that "there is a crow in the sun". During the Warring States Period, it was also recorded that "there is a statue of a standing person in the sun"...
What can Fang Jun say?
Can you tell Yuan Tiangang that it is a sunspot in action?
It is simple to say, but too troublesome to explain. With the physics knowledge of the people of the Tang Dynasty, it was impossible to understand the existence of "sunspots"...
However, the Chinese ancestors are indeed the smartest people in the world. The detailed astronomical phenomena recorded two thousand years ago have become universally recognized authorities in the 21st century.
Fang Jun himself has accumulated knowledge that transcends the times, which also shocked the two Taoist wonders enough.
For example, sitting by the window, with the bright moon in the sky, Yuan Tiangang expressed his opinion on the "lunar eclipse": "The moonlight is born where the sun shines; the soul is born when the sun is blocked. When the sun is full, the light is full, and when the sun is shining, the light is exhausted."
This is actually Zhang Heng's explanation of the lunar eclipse in the astronomical book "Lingxian". He has perfectly realized the relationship between the sun, the earth, and the moon, but he has not been able to further discover the relationship between the revolution and rotation of the three. Regular, but already very remarkable.
Fang Junze said: "Solar and lunar eclipses have always been regarded as warnings from heaven. There have been countless records in history, all of which can be seen in documents. If we can list them one by one and calculate them through mathematics, we can discover The laws may reveal the secrets of heaven and earth. If it has its own laws, can the specific values be calculated to predict solar and lunar eclipses? ”
In fact, Fang Jun knows this value. There are eighteen years and eleven days there, which is the "Saros cycle". Every time this period of time passes, the relative positions of the earth, the sun and the moon will be basically the same as before. , so the solar and lunar eclipses in the previous cycle will reappear one after another.
As long as the observation point remains unchanged, if a solar or lunar eclipse was observed here eighteen years and eleven days ago, it will still happen eighteen years and eleven days later.
Sun Simiao was not interested in these and warned: "The sun is the yang essence, the image of the king, the moon is the yin soul, the assistant of the ministers, and the warning from heaven is closely related to the emperor's virtue and the loyalty of the ministers. How can we act recklessly?" Add judgment? Avoid unexpected disasters! ”
Since ancient times, the sky has been very different and has always been in contrast with everything in the human world. After the advent of Dong Zhongshu's theory of "influence between heaven and man", it pushed this phenomenon to an unprecedented height. When a king loses his virtue, God will send warnings in different forms. In order to respond to God and correct his mistakes, he often issues edicts to sinners, sacrifices to heaven and earth, and amnesty to the world.
This kind of thing is the bottom line of the emperor. How can it be touched so easily?
Yuan Tiangang and Fang Jun disagreed with this.
The more proficient people are in astronomy, the more they disdain the theory of "influence between heaven and man". Almost all astronomical phenomena have regularity. If not, then you haven't discovered the regularity yet.
This shows that the movement of heaven and earth has a fixed periodicity. For example, Fang Jun said that looking for the law of solar and lunar eclipses has actually been discovered long ago. However, due to the calculation method, it cannot be accurate to a certain day or hour. As long as I found a way, it's actually not difficult.
What does this have to do with whether the king is immoral?
No matter how kings rule over the world, they cannot control the movement of heaven.
And Fang Jun knew even more clearly that the so-called "sensation from heaven and man" was nonsense. It was all a trick concocted by Dong Zhongshu in an attempt to restrict military power. He hoped to use this kind of warning from heaven to restrain the king's moral bottom line and make him feel better. Don't be scrupulous, don't go your own way, listen to the advice of Confucianism, and rule the world together with Confucianism...
The three of them chatted animatedly that night, and it wasn't until the end of the night that they finally fell asleep.
……
In the early morning of the next day, Fang Jun washed up and ate the breakfast he had ordered. Under the eyes of the little Taoist priest with inexplicable admiration, he led the Buqu family back to Chang'an City.
At this time, the sky was just getting light, the mist lingering in the mountains in the distance had not dissipated, and there were not many pedestrians going in and out of the city gate.
Fang Jun yawned, sat on his horse and walked slowly towards the city gate, but the beggars in front of him caught his eye.
Wearing shabby clothes and carrying a tattered bamboo hat behind his back, his appearance was obviously invisible from the back, but his body was vaguely visible. He filed forward to the city gate and was stopped by the defenders.
Fang Jun rode slowly, slowed down his horse, and looked at these beggars with interest.
At this moment, in addition to traders and officials, there were not too many people entering and leaving the city. It was not crowded, but there was an endless stream. These beggars were mixed in the crowd and did not attract attention.
In fact, beggars like this can be found everywhere. Although the Tang Dynasty was in its prime, natural and man-made disasters were unavoidable and refugees could not be prevented. Fang Jun simply suddenly thought of something said by a fat-headed guy in his previous life... (End of chapter)
