"I haven't thought about it?" Liu Xie's mouth raised a faint smile.
The best way to deal with these Confucian scholars is not to say so many illusory things, but to ask for something realistic and accurate.
Qin Mi touched her nose awkwardly. "I never thought about it."
"Then you should never have thought that the question of how high the sky is might be an indefinite issue."
Qin Mi was stunned, raised her head and looked at Liu Xie, thinking for a while, then said, "Your Majesty, even if as Zhang Pingzi said, the celestial body is as round as a projectile and the earth is as yellow as a chicken, it can still measure the distance between heaven and earth."
Liu Xie's smile was even stronger.
It seems that Qin Mi has not been idle in Nanyang these past few months, so she has spent some time thinking.
At least he has a certain understanding of Zhang Heng's theory and has conducted some research on Huntian theory. However, he is still in the stage of learning and has not raised any questions.
"Zhang Pingzi's statement has its advantages, but it may not be the final conclusion. Before the necessary verification is carried out, everything is a hypothesis. For example, if the fifth level of the sun and the moon appear on the celestial sphere, there is obviously a problem, it is better to
Xuan Ye said it was more reasonable.”
Qin Mi didn't say anything for a long time.
He also knew a little about Xuan Ye's theory. Nanyang has a strong academic style, and often gathered, discussed, Gai Tian, Hun Tian, and Xuan Ye's theory are all the subjects of discussion, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Nanyang is Zhang Heng's hometown, and many people highly respect Zhang Heng, so Huntian said more supporters.
But the issue mentioned by Liu Xie is indeed more reasonable in Xuan Ye's opinion.
The sun, moon, stars float between heaven and earth, which obviously explains many phenomena better than being attached to the same celestial sphere.
But in this way, it becomes impossible to complete the task to measure the height of the sky.
There is no target to locate, and the only thing that can be measured is the distance between the sun, moon, and stars from the earth, rather than the distance between the celestial sphere and the earth.
The more Qin Mi thought about it, the more interesting he felt, and at the same time felt ashamed.
The emperor has a lot of things to do, and he has limited time to spend on learning. He has nothing to do, and he has time to ask himself and has put a lot of effort into all kinds of knowledge. But in front of the emperor, he immediately showed his true form, which was extremely shallow.
He was proud of his reading and thinking deeply is not worth mentioning, and he didn't even understand the simplest question.
"Your Majesty, I am ashamed." Qin Mi sighed softly. "I have read all the books I have read before in vain."
"That won't be." Liu Xie smiled and raised his hand. "It's just not enough."
Qin Mi nodded, but wanted to speak but stopped.
The two of them walked along the way and chatted all the way. It seemed that there was no topic, but they were very honest.
Liu Xie did not completely deny Confucianism. He just felt that Confucianism alone was not enough. He also needed wood, medicine, and some other knowledge. This was what he was doing, or in other words, everything he did.
Starting point.
Liu Xie used Dong Zhongshu as an example.
When Dong Zhongshu transformed Confucianism and added the knowledge of the various scholars to it, greatly expanding the scope of Confucianism. Although it seems that his approach has both advantages and disadvantages, for that time, combining hundreds of schools of thoughts obviously unifies thoughts and reduces internal consumption.
It is helpful.
Now more than three hundred years have passed, and the accumulated problems left behind in those days have gradually emerged. We should recast Confucianism, remove the defecation and preserve the essence, and make necessary supplements.
All of these require more knowledgeable people to participate.
In his opinion, Qin Mi is such a person.
"Zi Xie, work hard." Liu Xie said earnestly.
Qin Mi was so excited that he bowed to salute. "Although I am stupid, I dare not obey orders."
"Go back with my expectations." Liu Xie reached out and patted Qin Mi on the shoulder. "Tell your village party that they should not be blinded by the benefits in front of them and force the court to start a massacre."
He paused for a moment and said quietly: "I am not a saint, but also have a temper."
Qin Mi was startled and saluted again. "Vie."
——
Qin Mi left, Fu Shou in the distance slowed down and waited for Liu Xie to catch up.
"What did Your Majesty say to him?" Fu Shou looked at Qin Mi's back and asked softly.
Liu Xie was a little surprised. "Since you care, why didn't you stay here and listen?"
"I'm staying here, afraid he's not at ease." Fu Shou smiled. "Qin Mi has a good reputation in Nanyang recently. It is said that she has excellent eloquence and has the style of Su Qin and Zhang Yi back then. But he doesn't regard this as a
Arrogance often guides people with integrity and don’t learn the skills of strategists. When you think about it carefully, you are also a contradictory person.”
Liu Xie nodded. "That's true. He was a smart person, but he was determined to be a gentleman, so he was inevitably a little twisted. If he changed to practical learning in the future, he might achieve greater success."
"Just like Ni Heng?"
Liu Xie couldn't help but laugh.
Ni Heng was an unexpected treasure. He had never expected Ni Heng to become an excellent Situ Changshi, and when dealing with government affairs, it made old ministers like Yang Biao praised him.
He had met Ni Heng, but he didn't know how Ni Heng became like now.
He only knew that Ni Heng had been to Hanyang once, and when he came back, his whole mental outlook was completely renewed.
He hopes that the more young people there are, the better.
Talent is the most precious resource. Even thieves know the truth, but he doesn't understand it.
He can do only a person, but if he mobilizes more young people, he can do a lot of things, even change the direction of the wheel of history, break those freedoms, and democracy can only arise from Western lies.
West? Hehe, the real Greece and Rome were slavery, which was far inferior to the Han Dynasty.
"Just like Ni Heng." Liu Xie agreed. "It's better for young people, they are motivated, not conservative, and they change themselves. Therefore, some people once said that a strong young man means a strong country. And the responsibility of the elders is to set a good border and let go
Don’t take too much care of it, hope the boy is as mature as himself.”
He thought about it and added, "That's not about getting old, that's about getting old before he grows old."
Fu Shou tilted his head and thought for a while, lowered his eyelids, and looked at his slightly raised belly. "Your Majesty is a young man now, so it's natural to have this idea. Thirty years later, Your Majesty is over fifty years old, will you still think so?"
Liu Xie reached out and pulled Qi Fushou's slightly swollen hand. "Are you worried that the prince will be difficult to do, right?"
Fu Shou blinked his eyes, and he wanted to speak but stopped.
Liu Xie said: "It turns out that women are weak, but mothers are strong. Before the child is born, you start to consider his future."
Fu Shou was shocked. "Your Majesty..."
Liu Xie raised his hand and stopped Fu Shou. "Don't be nervous, this is human nature. It is difficult for the prince to be, and it is even more difficult for the prince to be a hero. I know this more than you."
Fu Shou breathed a sigh of relief. "Your Majesty's heart, I can trust you. But I can't guarantee whether the kings of future generations can do this. Your Majesty will develop a career for thousands of years and establish a plan for a hundred years. If you can set rules for the kings of future generations,
Maybe it can help. Of course, this is just a little bit of my thoughts. It is too early to think about these things now."
"Your idea is very good, and it's not early at all." Liu Xie said: "Tell me carefully. If there is something good, I will discuss it with the ministers and ministers at the next court meeting."
Fu Shou couldn't believe his ears and looked at Liu Xie in surprise.
"His Majesty……"
Liu Xie smiled and touched Fu Shou's belly. "It's a century-old plan, so it's natural to make a long-term plan. It's also good to prepare early."
