Liu Xie saw Cai Yan's embarrassment and couldn't bear to say it anymore, so he changed the topic.
He asked Xuan Ye and said.
Cai Yan didn't know the specific situation yet, so she said that she had only read the abstract of the document related to Xuan Yeshu, but did not see the specific content. She was not clear about what she said to Xuan Yeshu.
Only then did Liu Xie realize that he was thinking too much.
But in order to alleviate the embarrassment just now, he continued to talk on this topic. He didn't want to say it for himself, and it was not convenient to explain it directly. It would be more appropriate for Cai Yan to retweet him on his behalf.
In fact, Xuan Ye’s statement did not appear out of thin air, nor was it the product of time travelers, but the deduction of the theory of vitality.
Xuan Ye said that all things are transformed by vitality, not only the heaven, but also the earth.
This statement is theoretically valid, but intuitively, it is difficult for people to accept it. It is fine if the sun, moon and stars are not touched anyway. The things in front of you can see and touch them, and you can also see them.
It is hard to convince people if they say they are angry.
However, beyond Liu Xie's expectations, after a little discussion, Cai Yan and Yuan Heng both said that Xuan Ye's statement was more reasonable, at least compared to Gai Tian's statement, Hun Tian's statement was reasonable.
Gai Tian said that the biggest problem is that the sky is round and the place is, which has been proved to be incorrect. The earth is likely to be not flat, and it is unlikely that it is square. It is more closely related to the facts.
This is proved by the mother-hun Huang Yi's star-pulling technique, and the lunar eclipse is the most powerful evidence.
Although Cai Yong and Zhang Heng were not for a while, they admired Zhang Heng's talent very much and studied Zhang Heng's knowledge in depth. Later, when they were wandering around, they saw Wang Chong's "Lunheng" in Kuaiji, and they had a further understanding of Zhang Heng's knowledge.
Using lunar eclipse to infer that the earth is round is not only logical, but also verified by astronomical observations.
Lumbar eclipse is caused by projection of the earth and is tenable.
Looking at Cai Yan and Yuan Heng made a fuss, Liu Xie was a little confused.
This is a bit fast. Is it because young people have strong acceptance ability or are they too influenced by me?
Especially Yuan Heng, who hasn't seen him for more than a year, has become more sensitive in her thinking and has become more rigorous in logic.
After Liu Xie asked, he realized that in addition to collecting information from Goguryeo and Fuyu over the past year, they also read a large number of Western Regions classics, especially interested in the content of theories. When they were free, the two often argued with each other.
While spending time, I also exercised my debate skills and thinking.
From the dibao, I learned that when the emperor was setting up mathology for freshmen in the martial arts lecture hall in Nanyang, they also specially studied some Western Region mathology.
This time they came to Nanyang, what they wanted to know most was the mathology textbook compiled by the emperor, and to see how the emperor combined different math systems. The mathology in the Central Plains is known for its merits in calculations, and the mathology in the Western Regions is known for its merits in proven. The two are the two.
The chiseling of round pieces seemed incompatible in their eyes.
When Liu Xie heard this, he knew that they had already walked ahead of many people. He not only noticed specific techniques, but also touched relatively abstract principles, and the emergence of mathematical theory was right in front of him.
According to his limited knowledge of mathematical history, Liu Hui, the founder of Eastern mathematical theory, seemed to be between the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
In other words, the accumulation of Oriental arithmetics has been very deep and has the foundation for the emergence of theory. His arrival only accelerated this process. If nothing unexpected happens, the opportunity to develop from arithmetic to mathematics will be within 20 or 30 years.
But unfortunately, he does not have such a foundation.
He can solve many equations and prove it, and it will be a bit difficult to get to the theory.
He was too busy and didn't have so much time to think about those issues.
"Of the three statements, I agree with Xuan Ye's statement." Liu Xie brought the topic back. "But Xuan Ye said that it is counterintuitive that if more people want to get closer, more solid evidence must be needed. This may end up being the last thing.
It must also be implemented in mystery and mathematics. Only inference and calculations that are unmatched can be convincing."
"Taking Xuanye's theory as a model, recalculate the trajectory of the sun, moon and stars?"
"Yes." Liu Xie nodded. "Can you do it?"
Cai Yan and Yuan Heng looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
Cai Yan said: "I don't have enough knowledge of astronomy, calendar, and calculation ability, so I'm afraid I can't stand it. Besides, Lantai has to deal with too many documents, so it's impossible for me to think about these things without distractions."
question."
Liu Xie thought about it and felt that Cai Yan was right.
She was too busy to devote herself to this.
"This matter should be left to the martial arts lecture hall. These problems cannot be avoided when studying the art of star-shaking."
Cai Yan looked at Yuan Heng and said, "Your Majesty, I have the responsibility of Lantai, but I can't get rid of it. However, Ah Heng is no longer a member of Lantai, he is just helping for the time being. It's better to let her turn back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty Left
The documents may help.”
Liu Xie smiled and looked at the shy Yuan Heng, and understood in his heart.
Things that should be done will be done sooner or later. People who should be taken will be taken sooner or later.
Now that the overall situation is settled, we can take back the sword hanging over the head of Yuan's family in Runan.
"Okay, you're not young anymore, and you'll be in the palace next autumn and winter."
Yuan Heng was both ashamed and happy, and quickly thanked him.
She is already eighteen years old, but she has been unable to enter the palace for a long time, and she is inevitably uneasy. Now that she has received the emperor's personal promise, she can finally feel relieved. Her father and sister can also breathe a sigh of relief, no longer worrying about the long dreams at night.
Cai Yan saw it and felt a little complicated.
——
Zhou Zhong had been to Wancheng, and the three ministers gathered together, and the relevant discussions began immediately.
Liu Xie did not participate immediately. He deliberately retained his attitude of staying out of the matter and asked the three ministers to discuss first.
With Xun Or's suggestion before, the discussion was very lively at the beginning. In addition to the officials from the Three Dukes' Mansion, many people rushed over from Chang'an and participated in the meeting in different ways such as the above books and suggestions.
There are great differences and fierce debates, but the three public opinion is relatively unified. In principle, they agree to select students from different subjects. The only difference lies in the specific method.
For example, how to take the exam? Should we hold a unified exam like Jizhou counties or counties, or should we take it separately according to different situations in each state?
What teaching materials should I use?
The Jizhou counties and counties are admitted to ordinary officials, and the requirements for Confucianism are not that high, so just read. Their exams basically do not involve the content of Confucianism. Even if there is one, you can choose texts that are not ambiguous, which is relatively simple.
However, if you admit senior high-level officials, you cannot do this, as it will inevitably involve the classics.
When it comes to classics, there will be different teachings and family rules.
Some people suggested that the Xiping Stone Sutra was compiled by Yang Biao, Cai Yong and others. This was a book of classics presided over by the late emperor and jointly compiled by several well-known scholars. It is a ready-made unified textbook, and it is not reasonable to use it.
But someone soon pointed out that although the Xiping Stone Classic is standardized, it is inconsistent with the current situation.
The simplest one is "Mencius" that does not attach great importance to by the emperor.
Many theories of the emperor's administration of benevolent governance and practicing kingly ways come from "Mencius". Now we have to divide the subjects into subjects, but the scope of the examination does not include "Mencius". Is it appropriate?
Furthermore, the Xiping Stone Classics are all Confucian classics, without practical content, and are all lacking in mathematics, agriculture, and engineering, which is inconsistent with the emperor's policy of emphasizing practical learning. If you take this exam, the final admission of Confucian scholars will definitely be a devoted scholar.
Regardless of whether fair or not, can these people take on specific responsibilities even if they are admitted?
