Chapter 692 Zhang Xianggong accepted his apprentice
Huang Zicheng is a sincere person. Moreover, he advocated reducing the vassalage. During the Jingnan War, he was a pig among pigs. He seemed to be a useless snack. But ignore this paragraph and just look at his first half of his life. His resume is quite good.
Beautiful, smart and studious, became famous at a young age, and handsome.
He is now willing to go to Peking to spread enlightenment. No matter what Zhang Ximeng says, he cannot stop him!
It's just that with such a group of crouching dragons and phoenixes under Zhu Di, who knows what kind of strange chemical reaction will happen, he is quite looking forward to it.
"Huang Zicheng, I want to ask you, there are many Mongolians, even Jurchens, and Khitan descendants in Peiping. How would you treat them?"
Huang Zicheng was slightly startled and said: "Everyone is treated equally. Anyone who speaks Chinese, writes Chinese characters, performs Chinese etiquette...all of them are attached to the Ming Dynasty and have a heart for China. They are all the same and will not make any difference."
Zhang Ximeng nodded slightly, "I hope you will do as you say, practice it personally, and unite knowledge and action, which will be a great blessing and great merit!"
Put your body into practice and unite knowledge and action!
Ever since Zhang Ximeng arrived at Jimin School, there have been endless golden sayings about studying hard and making progress every day. This must be written down and hung on the wall so that students can keep it in mind.
Huang Zicheng thanked Zhang Ximeng again and again, then turned and left with satisfaction.
Along with Huang Zicheng, there were several like-minded friends who went to Peiping. They were young and passionate people who promoted the teachings of teachers.
These people headed for Peiping like a pot of fire.
And after hearing about their feats, Fang Xiaoru was also tempted. It would take him two years to graduate. Fang Xiaoru also planned to go to the most difficult place, whether it was Beiping or Southwest, where there are people who are eager to learn and where there is a need to pass on the teachings.
Wherever they should be!
For this reason, Fang Xiaoru secretly carved a few words on the desk: The way of teachers, the way of China!
Zhang Ximeng also didn't know what the "Jianwen Qunxian" would do when they went to Peiping and gathered under Zhu Di's men. They would not be able to cut down the feudal vassal. It would be quite interesting if they clamored to go to Luo with their swords in hand and argue their interests with the emperor.
Anyway, Zhang Ximeng was in a good mood, so he returned to his residence. When he walked in, he found Zhang Shuning busy at work. The little guy cooked four dishes for Zhang Ximeng, which were all delicious and delicious.
Then I prepared another bottle of fruit wine... Zhang Ximeng has always been a heavy drinker, that is, he drinks a little occasionally, and the little guy is quite filial.
Zhang Ximeng glanced at him and said, "Tell me, what are your intentions? You won't show your courtesy for nothing, right?"
Zhang Shuning smiled and said: "Father, I have always been very filial to you. I don't have any evil intentions... I just want to congratulate my father for finally meeting a genius."
Zhang Ximeng put down his chopsticks and asked, "What do you mean?"
"That's classmate Xia Zhifeng! She actually calculated by herself that we live on a sphere, and she also said that solar eclipses also have regular patterns."
"What?" Zhang Ximeng was shocked. He knew that his son's friend was very smart, but he never expected that he was so smart!
"How did she figure it out?"
Zhang Shuning shook his head, "I don't know either, but she said it should be related to the books I brought. Father, I don't understand. I'm reading these books too, so why don't I know?"
Zhang Ximeng rolled his eyelids, "This is the difference between genius and mediocrity... Okay, don't be too attentive. Go call her over and I'll have a good chat with her. If you want to reveal your identity, just confess to her."
, if you don’t want to, I’ll call you Classmate Zhang, how about that?”
Zhang Shuning was startled and felt very conflicted. He couldn't imagine what his friends' attitudes would be like if they knew that he was the Crown Prince of Lu and the son of Prime Minister Zhang!
"Let's wait a little longer!" Zhang Shuning said in a low voice.
Zhang Ximeng nodded and waved his son to go out.
Not long after, Zhang Shuning was walking in front, only half a step behind, and a thin little girl, holding a bunch of things in her arms, followed closely behind.
The little girl was extremely nervous, with a sullen face and tightly pursed lips, which turned white due to excessive exertion.
When she entered the room, she subconsciously wanted to kneel down, but she heard a gentle voice, "Have you eaten? If not, come over and try classmate Zhang's cooking."
This is Xiang Zhang’s voice!
Taking courage, she raised her head and found Zhang Ximeng looking at her with a sweet smile.
The little girl was dizzy and her hands and feet were stiff. She walked to the table. Zhang Shuning, who was watching from the side, had to turn his head to the side for fear of laughing.
It turns out that in this scene, I am not the only one who is embarrassed!
Even the little genius can’t bear it!
Zhang Shuning decided to write down this dark history of Xia Zhifeng, maybe it will still be a source of conversation in the future.
Zhang Ximeng could see all his son's slight emotional changes, but the child still didn't understand!
But it doesn’t matter, it’s still a long time!
Zhang Ximeng said to Xia Zhifeng: "Don't be nervous. Being able to innovate and discover new things enriches our knowledge and is a contribution to this country. Just make bold assumptions and be careful to verify them. There is nothing taboo."
Faced with Zhang Ximeng's encouragement, Xia Zhifeng gradually calmed down her racing heart. She courageously put what she had written in front of Zhang Ximeng.
"Ms. Zhang, I don't know whether it's right or wrong. I'd like to see Mr. Zhang give me some advice."
Zhang Ximeng took the little girl's manuscript with a smile and read it carefully.
Gradually, Zhang Ximeng's face became serious. This was definitely not a little girl's random graffiti. The method conceived above did make some sense.
Zhang Ximeng said: "You have summarized the achievements of the past dynasties, including the measurement methods of Seng Yixin and others, as well as your own summary... You still can't figure out that the earth under your feet is round. It's not a matter of method.
But there is a lack of sufficient data. Such a big thing requires extensive observation and field testing in many places... These are indeed not something you, a little girl, can do."
Xia Zhifeng listened silently, then suddenly raised his head and asked with some fear: "Ms. Zhang, am I right? Are we really living on a ball? Then why won't we fall?"
Zhang Ximeng laughed loudly, "With a rigorous attitude, I can't say that you are right. It needs to be measured and proven. But assuming that we really live on a ball, why can we not fall... Is this again?
A good question? We need to make conjectures and verify them carefully."
Xia Zhifeng's eyes widened. She suddenly became very excited and even less afraid. Because Zhang Ximeng was the one she had ever encountered who was the most tolerant of her thoughts.
She talked to Zhang Shuning, but Zhang Shuning just listened carefully and remained respectful.
But when I arrived at Zhang Ximeng's place, no matter how strange my ideas were, I received not only respect, but also encouragement!
"Ms. Zhang, do you think there is something invisible and insubstantial that is constraining us? Is this the natural principle or Tao taught by the great scholars of our time?"
Zhang Ximeng smiled happily and said: "What you said makes sense, but from what I've seen, there are two kinds of Tao. One is the law of the world, and the other is the great road of heaven and earth, which represents the ultimate principle of heaven and earth. When we do knowledge,
It is to explore the truth between heaven and earth, reveal the truth, and carry forward these things. This is why I am very opposed to confusing heaven and man. Rain, snow, wind, frost, sunrise and sunset, have been like this forever, is it a relationship between human power? There is a problem
If a filial son is a chaste wife, then the world will change?",
"Obviously you can't think like this. One person is not that great, and one's virtue cannot influence the weather. Otherwise, if you invite a filial son to go to Yanshan to cry bitterly, then it will snow heavily, freezing all the enemy soldiers, and the border troubles will disappear.
, and there’s no need to waste money or food, do you think this is possible?”
Xia Zhifeng nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I discovered that some of the things written in the book are not reasonable at all and are complete nonsense."
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "Yes, I have been thinking about some things. I just hope that I can analyze and distinguish clearly the things that are entangled together. Things in the human world belong to the human world. Things in heaven and earth belong to heaven and earth. Learn by subject and divide.
Research, so that we can understand what is going on in this world we live in!"
What Zhang Ximeng said was still a bit abstract, but Xia Zhifeng became more and more happy as she listened, and her eyes gleamed because she felt that everything Zhang Ximeng said was very consistent with her thoughts. All the chaotic thoughts in her heart were echoed by Zhang Ximeng
.
Her strange thoughts turned out not to be random thoughts, but made sense.
Gradually, Xia Zhifeng relaxed completely. She and Zhang Ximeng chatted and chatted, and the little girl was particularly excited.
Zhang Ximeng also laughed and said: "You said that the moon is round, and the earth under our feet is also round. What will happen if the two circles are misaligned with each other?"
Zhang Ximeng said, raising his two hands, his palms gradually getting closer.
Looking in the direction of Xia Zhifeng, the hand closest to her gradually covered the other hand, first partially, then getting bigger and bigger, and gradually most of the palm was hidden.
Xia Zhifeng suddenly exclaimed, "I understand, it's the ball under our feet that blocks the moon! Yes, that's right, it turns out we are standing on a naughty big dog!"
Zhang Ximeng laughed happily, "You are right, but have you ever thought about where the light comes from?"
"It comes from the sun!" Xia Zhifeng replied without hesitation.
"Then why isn't it the moon?" Zhang Ximeng asked.
Xia Zhifeng was stunned for a moment, "The moon is too cold, and the moonlight is too faint. I don't think the moon will shine."
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "Your intuition may be right, but you can't rely on your intuition to do things. Fortunately, I brought a telescope this time, so I can see the moon."
"Yeah?"
Xia Zhifeng was shocked, and then the little girl mustered up her courage and said bravely: "I, can I see it once? Just once!"
Zhang Ximeng shook his head, "Not once!"
Xia Zhifeng was stunned, and Zhang Ximeng then laughed and said: "How can you see it accurately once? You need to observe more! The weather is good today, so you can give it a try first."
Xia Zhifeng nodded hurriedly, "That's great, thank you Mr. Zhang!"
Zhang Ximeng smiled and said: "But I have a condition."
"What conditions? I agree to any conditions!" The little girl nodded quickly, but regretted: "I don't know what I can do for Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Ximeng said: "My condition is that you have to eat more... Doing research and practicing it is very hard. Your little girl is too thin. Really studying things requires countless efforts, and you can't afford it!"
"
With that said, Zhang Ximeng gave her a piece of wild rice.
Xia Zhifeng quickly thanked him.
Zhang Ximeng looked at the several side dishes on the table and looked at Zhang Shuning, "Classmate Zhang, should you add two dishes to entertain your classmates?"
Zhang Shuning felt drowsy after listening to it. He didn't understand why Xia Zhifeng and his father could chat so happily!
Suddenly hearing Zhang Ximeng asking him to add two more dishes, Zhang Shuning subconsciously said: "Yes, sir... sir!"
Zhang Shuning stood up quickly and ran outside. His face was already red and he almost blew himself up. I wonder if Xia Zhifeng noticed anything?
Probably geniuses are slow in some aspects. It's not that Xia Zhifeng couldn't feel it, but she was filled with great joy.
I just wanted to look at the moon and didn't care about anything else.
Meimei had a meal, then jumped up and followed Zhang Ximeng to a nearby hilltop, where the telescope sent by Zhang Ximeng happened to be placed.
Xia Zhifeng was so happy that she flew up. Through the telescope, the little girl really saw clearly the numb face of the moon! She was absolutely sure that the moon was just a lonely ball.
My assumption should be right, the secret of Tengu eating the sun will be revealed soon!
Xia Zhifeng was very happy, but the person who was happier than her was Zhang Ximeng.
Suddenly, news came out that shocked everyone. Princess Zhang had taken the initiative to recruit a disciple, and she was still a little girl!
