Dress to be a celebrity

Chapter 288

Song Sanyuan is going to give a lecture.

Huan Qianxian is also going to give lectures.

Huan Qianxian and Song Sanyuan were going to give lectures on Neo-Confucianism at Longquan Temple outside the city.

This was the first time that Huan Qianxian and Song Sanyuan gave lectures together after returning to Beijing, and it was also the first joint lecture after clarifying the false rumors of the two.

Before the lecture started, the news spread all over the capital. Wherever there were scholars, there was word of mouth: "This is a lecture society organized by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. There must be many officials and ministers speaking at the meeting. If you are old and want to listen, you will lose if you don’t listen!"

Listening is necessary, but shouldn't this lecture be headed by Sanyuan? Why did his senior brother rank ahead of him?Don't you put people's knowledge first when giving lectures, and don't you also pay attention to elders and younger brothers?

The person who announced the news of the lecture had to change his face, turn his head slightly, and tell him very seriously: "This is exactly what I want to clarify for them."

The previous rumors, Southern operas, Northern operas, Zaju novels are all wrong. In fact, it was Song Sanyuan who married into Huan's family.Otherwise, how come Huan Qianxian resigned for national affairs, and Master Song also resigned for filial piety to his father?

Filial piety to the old father is just a pretense, he resigned to support Lord Huan's cause.Otherwise, Mr. Huan took the lead in admonishing the emperor's relatives and relatives that they shouldn't be involved in politics. How could he be an official in the court as the wife of the future uncle?

Some of the people who listened to him below refused to believe it, some swayed like weeds on the wall, and some felt terrified, recalling that they heard someone tell the story of "Huan Yushi gave lectures to express love, Song Sanyuan privately promised to live forever"...

However, many people just took it lightly, and even said with a little pride: "There is nothing strange about this. Song Sanyuan and Sanyuan are also Master Huan's younger brother, and the order of seniority and youth is there. He passed the exam. Wasn’t he also Sanyuan before the number one scholar? At that time, his brother was a Jinshi.”

When they said this at the beginning, the retorts could have buried their people, making them afraid to say more.How is it now?With Song Sanyuan's own admission, they are proud this time!

These people enjoyed the comfort of "everyone is drunk but I am alone" amidst the sound of shock and doubt.However, that joy gradually came with a bit of regret: I knew that I should set up a handicap to bet with others, but today I have to overwhelm the crowd and make another bet, wouldn't it be happier?

Cough, that's all, betting on other people's marriages is not what they are benevolent gentlemen who are devoted to Taoism.

They benevolent gentlemen had to occupy a good seat in front of Huan and Song's lectures to hear clearly, so as to make up for today's loss a little.

In the early morning of April [-]th, the two lecturers took advantage of the coolness to climb to the back mountain of Longquan Temple, and saw that the empty space lent to them by the temple for lectures was already filled with long tables and stools, and a pergola was built on top of it, like a The cafeteria has moved here.

In front of the square, a high wooden platform is built that monks used to preach scriptures, and a large pottery jar for sound amplification is buried under the platform.But because the lecturers were two idle officials instead of monks, the platform was laid out more ornately, and two sets of tables and chairs, and an umbrella were added for them.

When the Zhike monk led the two of them into the arena, one-third of the seats below were already filled. Seeing the two of them enter the arena, they applauded enthusiastically and thunderously.

Although there are many believers and good listeners in the usual lectures in the monastery, such movements are rarely seen, which frightened the elderly monk who knew the guest, his heart trembled, and his feet were almost unsteady.

Song Shi picked up the monk, looked at the situation in the field, and couldn't help but pause: I thought this time was to participate in an internal lecture invited by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but when I entered the field, I realized that it was a concert held by traffic idols scene.As soon as they showed up, the fans below stood up and cheered, they just missed holding up a sign and shaking a light stick!

Fortunately, the two adults are leaders who have opened a lecture club and brought a literary and art team to the countryside, so they are also very skilled in dealing with this scene.The two raised their hands lightly, nodded with a smile, walked gracefully through the aisle between the seats, and led Zhike to the high platform.

Monk Zhike has also stabilized his mind during this journey, and asked the two to sit down on the podium, and explained in a low voice: "I followed a few posts from Fengxian earlier in the temple, saying that two adults are going to hold a lecture here, so I will give you a lecture. The back mountain is closed, no idlers are allowed to enter or leave. But these good believers come for the lectures, and some of them live in two or three days earlier. .”

This coming and going...there are more people.

But it doesn't matter, they often hold Dafa meetings in their monastery, and they know how to amplify the sound. They buried several large water tanks in front of the pulpit early on, so that the people below may not be able to hear the two masters' speeches.

Well, it doesn't matter.

Song Sanyuan, who has seen more big scenes than him, smiled slightly, turned around and told the accompanying family members: "Go and get the horn we brought in the car."

Although there are no diodes, triodes, potentiometers, etc., it is impossible to make electric speakers for sound amplification, but the small tin speakers they have used for many years in meetings are also very useful.

It's just that the way the two well-known talents in the capital held tin horns in their hands and blocked the mouth of the horns to shout was a bit irritating to the eyes.

Mr. Li Ge entered the venue with several censors who met on the road, and at a glance he saw the appearance of two young talents and pillars of the country with two shiny iron horns on their faces.However, the loudspeakers that were so simple that they affected the image of the imperial court and ministers were clear and loud, and they could hear the lectures clearly as soon as they stepped into this square.

Mr. Li Ge and the others did not want to disturb the stage. Accompanied by the abbot, they quietly walked to the reserved VIP seat in the front row, sat down and asked a Hanlin who came earlier: "What are you talking about on stage today?"

physics?Chemical?

But it's not the "geometry" they tell little schoolgirls, right?

That knowledge is a bit difficult.And even the little female students in the Song Family Academy know it. They have studied hard for ten years, and if the court officials who have passed the top [-] exams in the world in Chunwei can't understand it, it would be really embarrassing.

The two lecturers on the Tianxing stage did not bring a drawing square, nor a force-measuring spring scale, nor did they draw a circuit diagram and ask them which circuit the current flows after they press the switch.

The Hanlin also seemed to be a little lucky, and replied in a low voice: "Bachelor, today the second son of the Huan Song Dynasty is talking about scholarship."

Li Ge always called "Second Son" a junior, and the "Second Son" in Hanlin's mouth is to call them "Mister".He used to be an official in an Imperial Academy, and he was on duty at a high court. When he met, he just called him "Master" and "Senior".

Those who have the ambition to seek the Tao, have the ability to study, and are willing to pass on this skill to others, can be the masters of the world.

"Oh?" Mr. Li Ge sighed softly: "I only heard them talk about the principles of heaven and the changing weather, but I have never heard them talk about academics. But a three-yuan and a top ten in the second class, they really have the capital to talk about these things."

It doesn't matter if they talk about academics, the new Neo-Confucianism they got from studying the way of heaven is not something everyone can understand, but everyone wants to know how to study and pass the exam.The former Chao Lu and Zhu Erzi's E Lake meeting talked about the work of learning. Maybe their lecture today can also become Dazheng's E Lake meeting?

Li Mian sat deeply in the chair, gathered his energy, and listened to the lectures of the two on the stage.

Their brothers and sisters have always been giving lectures together, and they cooperated with each other tacitly. Starting from Zhu Zi's "the way of great learning is to study things so that one can know them", they talked about the method of studying things.

Of course, it is not Zhu Zi’s Gewu, let alone Shouren’s Gezhu, but interprets the word "Ge" as a research method they practice on a daily basis: you can’t draw conclusions for foreign objects just based on the understanding in your heart. Speak with facts and stand up to repeated experiments...

Over the years, they have obtained a lot of knowledge and Neo-Confucianism from the heaven and the earth by using such a poor method of investigating things.And after getting a theory of Gewu, how can I be sure whether my theory of Ged is true or false?

It must be supported by actual arguments.

It is not advisable to blindly believe in the meaning of the scriptures interpreted by the ancestors, and it is not advisable to remain unchanged from the past; only the true knowledge that can withstand repeated verification is in line with the way of heaven.First verified by oneself, and then verified by people all over the world, the authenticity can only be seen through a hundred trials.As for the verification method...

Write a thesis first.

In the Song Dynasty, he began to memorize papers since time travel. In order to earn a little money for him, Huan Ling even taught himself to become a talent. He learned modern Chinese and foreign letters commonly used in various papers, and his affection for papers was faster than that of Jingyi. , stereotyped deep.

Writing a thesis can sort out your thoughts and prove your own arguments.The process of reading a paper allows people to enter into the author's thinking, understand how the other party's point of view is derived, and even verify its right or wrong according to the law.

In this way, scholars all over the world can write papers and communicate with their colleagues when they study Neo-Confucianism and practical studies.If there is a forum like the Fujian Lecture Conference in the local area, it happens to communicate with people face to face on the forum, and after the meeting, it will be assembled into a book for those who did not attend the meeting to read.And for those places without such forums, local celebrities and talented scholars can also take the lead to set up a journal, collect enough articles every month—or every few months, and assemble them into volumes for people to buy and borrow.

The conditions in other provinces, prefectures, and counties may be poorer. In Beijing, there are famous scholars who are engaged in learning, and there are also literati who can make mimeographs and lithographs. It is not difficult to run an academic journal for internal communication.There are even a surplus of well-known Neo-Confucians and masters of practical science who can form a review team to review the submitted academic manuscripts, identify the true and eliminate the false, and make the journal more authoritative.

Even if the articles written by the contributors are not the majors of the reviewers, according to the current level of scientific research, they are not so high that others can't even read them.As long as the content in the paper and the cited articles are verified step by step, the authenticity can always be proved in the end.

They spoke conscientiously on the stage, and the temperature of their faces was covered with small trumpet mouths, and they unreservedly passed on their half-life experience in writing papers to the audience.

These people can find out that they are going to give lectures, and some people can even spend money to live in the temple for a few days. They must be rich, have leisure, have connections in the court, and have a desire to learn.In this era when education is not yet popular, it is these people who have the capital and ability to do learning.

Improving the level of science and technology cannot rely solely on a plug-in, nor can it rely solely on two teachers to popularize advanced knowledge. It depends on how many generations of people rush forward to study, continue to learn, correct mistakes, and continue to deepen...

Song Shi took down the trumpet and wiped it, drank the warm tea in front of him in a sip, and looked at these scholars who were eager to learn with some relief: "The two of us will stop here for the time being. It's still early, everyone. Is there anything else you want to ask? You can write it on a note and hand it in, and we will pick some frequently asked questions to answer."

Have!

Those who are ready in the audience immediately pick up a pen to write, and those who are not prepared can borrow it from the people around them, or ask the monks waiting next to ask for it.But the people in the VIP seats in front of the stage always have privileges, and they don’t follow his rules, but ask directly: "Did Huan Qianxian and Song Xueshi intend to start this journal and be reviewers... the editor-in-chief?"

Li Xueshi's old and deep voice sounded from the audience, and because he was the closest, he was not affected by the chaotic voices behind him.

No matter how short Song Shi's stay in the court was, no one could not hear Ge Lao's voice, so he quickly reached for the microphone.However, Huan Ling was one step ahead of him, brushing his long sleeves across the table, stood up as soon as he picked up the microphone, and said loudly to the audience: "I'm afraid I have to meet the expectations of the boss. Brother Song has already made an appointment with me." In the future, I will leave Beijing frequently, travel all over the Dazheng River and Mountains, and go to various places to search for mineral deposits for the imperial court."

Now staying in Beijing, one is to help the old (father-in-law) to run a girls’ school, and the other is that they have explored the available minerals in the capital, and they have to draw a volume of mineral deposits in the capital and record a book on the utilization of various minerals. The imperial court developed practical interests based on local mineral deposits.

They were officials at that time who did not hesitate to give up their official careers for the court. Earlier, they were afraid that all the sages in the court would retain them and they would fail to resign, so they concealed it until now.Now is a good opportunity for all the gentlemen in the court and the sages and sages in the mountains to be here, so he naturally has to tell the truth, and he can't let no one know what his junior brother has done.

Discussions suddenly erupted in the audience, Li Ge couldn't help but stood up, and said in a broken voice: "You are leaving Beijing... are you resigning because of this?"

Naturally, it's not all for this matter, the banner of loyalty and filial piety must be firmly grasped.

Song Shi picked up the microphone and explained: "The two of us are already living at home, and we can no longer fulfill our duties in the court. We must do things that benefit the country and the people. As scholars, we should take the world as our duty and always read God's will and the people's will, why bother to ask the government and the people?"

Old Li Ge in the audience sighed softly, and the young censors and Hanlin around him were even more sad: these two people clearly could stay in the court and enjoy wealth and power, but they resigned voluntarily for the sake of the court.After resigning from office, he was unwilling to run an academy, print a periodical, and be a leisurely and admired Neo Confucianist, but he had to travel all over the world for prospecting, and suffered from hardships...

Although the two of them don't think it's hard, the literati sitting below the gates, who can sit in a sedan chair and never ride a horse, and who can ride a horse and never walk, have already suffered for them in their minds. The bitterness of wind and frost.At the farewell banquet after the lecture, Xueshi Li took the lead to pay respects to the bachelors who were supposed to see them off, wishing them prosperity and prosperity as soon as possible and realizing their ambitions.

Song Shi was born in the second generation of low-level officials. He was a young master at the wine table who received the leaders. He calmly blocked the wine for his senior brother. He drank it all by himself until the eyes of these Qingliu officials in the court were red, and they were crying while holding their hands: " You two must take care of your health when you are out, and you will come back safely."

This is natural, thanks to the old leader's concern.

"There is a lot of wind and sand in the north, and there is a lot of miasma in the south. The second son should be more cherished when he is away, and he should not be forced close to the barren mountains and secluded mountains."

It doesn't matter, they actually bought geological and mineral maps a long time ago, they don't approach places that are too dangerous, they just draw pictures.

……

"The two adults love each other deeply, advance and retreat together, and can leave office and resign for the sake of love, and travel all over the green hills. They are really role models for lovers of my generation. When I go back, I will definitely write this matter in the book truthfully, so that everyone in the world will love it." I can see the affection between you two!"

Um?Is the author's focus wrong?Why are they going to publish their book again, can't we ask them, living people, before writing?

After Song Shi drank, he heard more and more heartfelt words, which made his face flushed and his brows frowned, as if he didn't want to drink with these Ducha censors.But after a long time, when he saw the latest version of Huan Song storybooks on the market, he still secretly bought several copies and put them in a cloth bag to take home to read.

Whether one or two people watch it, how to discuss, comment and imitate after watching it... is not humane.

At the end of the winter of this year, they traveled all over the mountains and rivers in the suburbs of Beijing, and presented the first volume of "Mapography of Dazheng Mineral Products".Soon after the spring of the next year, they packed up their bags and went to Tianjin, and traveled all over Dazheng Heshan from near to far...
