Chapter 1,204 Inheritance

According to legend, Miao Xun was a disciple of Chen Tuan. He was good at astronomical predictions and was personally friendly with Taizu.

At the end of Xian De's reign, when Taizu was marching north, Miao Xun was watching day after day. After a long period of time, he pointed to Chu Zhaofu and said, "This is destiny."

The Chenqiao mutiny broke out the next day. Taizu accepted Zen, promoted Miao Xun to Hanlin Astronomy, found Yinqing Guanglu, a doctor, and inspected the Ministry of Industry.

He died in his seventies. His son kept his word, learned from his father's business, supplemented the Tianli calculations, and changed the Tiantai master's book.

During the reign of Taiping and Xingguo, the Qian and Yuan calendars were made with great precision, and all were gifted with silk. During Yongxizhong, he moved to the winter official position. At the beginning of Duan Gongchu, he changed the crown prince's horse-washing and judged him to be the Tianjian.

I have made some predictions about military affairs and floods, and they are often effective.

Miao Shouxin died at the age of forty-six. His son Miao Shunqing obviously did not inherit the family education. He became a doctor of Guozi and is now studying at Si Tianjian.

However, Zhao Xu looked at Taizu's plaque and then mentioned the surname Miao, but he was referring to another Miao family member, the first Si Tianjian of the Song Dynasty who was responsible for Miao Changyi.

Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, died without any explanation, leaving the eternal mystery of the shadow of a candle and the sound of an ax for future generations. After his death, he was buried in Yongchang Mausoleum, Gong County, Henan Province.

It is said that the burial place was chosen by Hu Yanshan, the most famous Feng Shui master at that time, and the terrain is "Nine Dragons Crossing the River".

After the burial, Miao Changyi, who was then Si Tianjian, took the eunuch Wang Jien to the top of the mountain. After pointing out the surrounding terrain, he said to Wang Jien: "After Taizu, there will be another world."

Wang Jien secretly kept this sentence in his heart. In February of the third year of the reign of Emperor Dao, Zhao Guangyi was seriously ill and could not see him. Wang Jien conspired with Li Changling, the political counselor, Hu Dan, and Pan Lang, a commoner, to take advantage of the turmoil in the court.

, supported Zhao Weiji, the grandson of Taizu, as emperor.

Prime Minister Lu Duan, who was not confused about the matter, had already detected the conspiracy of Wang Jien, Hu Dan and others, so he held back and waited for the final opportunity to show off.

As soon as Zhao Guangyi died, Lu Duan deceived Wang Jien into a pavilion, locked him up, and welcomed Zhenzong to the throne in front of his coffin.

Wang Jien was imprisoned and demoted to death in Junzhou.

In the eighth year of Xining, a major case of "rebellion" by clan member Zhao Shiju broke out in the Song Dynasty.

This incident was personally experienced by Su You. When Zhao Xu saw that the local officials reported the case with the words "words of criticism and false claims of blame", he immediately ordered the ruthless official Jian Zhou who was "good at interrogating, using hooks and strings to hide, and using his wits to win people's hearts."

Assist in re-examining the case.

Jian Zhoufu quickly obtained the evidence. In addition to the statement of the case, he also added a sentence that seemed to have nothing to do with the case: "The great ancestor who has lived in the world for a long time."

Zhao Shiju was the fourth grandson of Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. The result of this case was that the prisoner Wang Tingyun who was previously responsible for the case hanged himself out of fear of the crime. Zhao Shiju was granted death, and his descendants were expelled from their citizenship and became citizens and imprisoned for life. Li Fengling, who planned the matter, was later executed.

There was also a demon named Li Shining who "talked about guilt". Wang Anshi also tried to excuse him, but Su You struck him to death on the Zhongshan Observatory by lightning.

This prophecy of the Miao family has always been a curse that the Zhao and Song royal families of Taizong's line were extremely vigilant about. Therefore, when Zhao Xu asked, Su You and Su Song, who understood the cruelty of the struggle for imperial power, immediately felt bad.

On the contrary, Chen Zhaoming, who didn't care much about these things, got extra points from Zhao Xu with his calm attitude.

Fortunately, after entering Sitian Prison, Zhao Xu was attracted by the various exquisite and novel instruments here.

The clepsydra, the chronometer, the sundial, the armillary sphere, the celestial sphere, the chronometer, the ecliptic theodolite, the horizon theodolite, the horizon theodolite, the equatorial theodolite, the celestial sphere, and the quadrant.

Logically speaking, many of them should have appeared in later generations, but now Si Tianjian's theoretical level and observation technology have advanced by leaps and bounds, and Zhao Xu and Su You have attached great importance to it, so related instruments have been tinkered with, and there are many more.

a lot of.

However, influenced by the three words "precision and purity" of the School of Engineering, today's instruments are real instruments. There are no auspicious beasts or dragons, only scales, rulers, tracks and control mechanisms.

Su Song was the one who could fool even the astronomers of the Liao Kingdom. With him, he explained the functions, changes and development of various instruments, as well as the interesting historical stories that happened on these instruments, let alone Zhao Xu.

Even Su You and others listened with great interest.

Yanyun Building is Si Tianjian's newly built library. Chen Zhaoming took Zhao Xu into the building and explained: "Here are the works on astronomy and mathematics from past dynasties: on this side are historical manuscripts from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad; on this side are

The Song Dynasty used scientific and engineering calculation symbols and methods to decipher the teachings of the sages; the collection of books on this side discusses the latest breakthroughs in the calculation, calendar and astronomy of the Song Dynasty."

Zhao Xu looked at several huge blackboards in the hall and the rune-like columns and symbols on them: "What are those?"

Chen Zhaoming said: "Oh, it's all about the verification and calculation of mathematical theories. Everyone likes to focus on discussing here. Today is His Majesty's inspection, so there is no one here. Otherwise, this place would be the busiest on weekdays."

Although Zhao Xu didn't understand, he nodded in admiration and was a little uneasy: "My coming this time will affect your research. It shouldn't be."

Chen Zhaoming said: "Your Majesty must not say that. Si Tianjian's rapid achievements today are inseparable from your Majesty's concern. Your Majesty can personally come to Si Tianjian to inspect, and everyone at the top and bottom is excited and their hearts are at rest."

Come down, how can we talk about research? Just give them a day off."

Su Song and Su You looked at each other. Chen Jingrun's flattery was really high-end. It seemed like they were worried in vain.

As expected, Zhao Xu was delighted and said with a smile: "But it seems that I haven't seen Si Tianjian's memorial requesting Zhongshu to allocate funds for a long time."

Chen Zhaoming said: "This move was initiated by the Crown Prince. Si Tianjian had the advantage of calculation, so he had some business dealings with Sitong, Shangzhouzhou Case, and Liangzhe Road Maritime Business."

"For the new calendar that is printed every year, Si Tianjian has to take a commission from each printing house. Starting from the year before last, through this method, Si Tianjian has achieved self-sufficiency in research project funding, and is no longer a member of the imperial court.

It’s a burden.”

Su You added: "Your Majesty, Si Tianjian's level of mathematics and physics is the best in the world. Every year, polytechnics, technical colleges, Sitong Bank, and Huangsong Bank all send talents to Si Tianjian for training and mastering.

The latest mathematics and physics knowledge, all of which require payment of maintenance fees."

"Si Tianjian is responsible for the research of cutting-edge subjects, just like many of Sitong's technologies, which are still technical reserves today; many of Si Tianjian's knowledge are knowledge reserves, which may one day be used in practical applications.

"

Zhao Xu nodded: "The annual income brought by the increase in cultivated land in the world will not reach 150 million yuan in any case, and a large part of it comes from here."

After speaking, he pointed to the big blackboards with his finger: "You guys are amazing."

Chen Zhaoming quickly humbled himself: "In addition to the efforts of today's people, the achievements of our predecessors are also an important reason. As far as the Song Dynasty is concerned, the Miao and Zhou families selflessly contributed their collection of classics, which also contributed a lot." Latest update

Zhao Xu smiled: "Jingrun doesn't have to look down on them, he's really meritorious, and the court will not hesitate to reward him."

Chen Zhaoming bowed and said: "Zhou Cong after Zhou Keming, and Miao Ke after Miao Xun, contributed family heirlooms of mathematical books, which were compiled and excavated by Si Tianjian. Now a complete astronomical mathematics system has been established. Their contributions will last for a long time and will benefit the world."

When I see you in this world, I would like to ask Your Majesty to praise the two of them."

Zhao Xu asked: "Can Zhou Cong's calendar be understood now?"

Chen Zhaoming said: "It was the family collection contributed by Zhou Cong that allowed us to accurately verify the precession of the equinox. By solving the precession problem, the calendar actually solved the accuracy problem, and Zhou Cong's long-cherished wish was finally fulfilled.

"

Zhao Xu smiled: "If he has surpassed his father and ancestors, then it can be regarded as an honorable official."
