Apart from the almost self-deprecating joke on the first page of this book, Lin Qingyuan demonstrates his extremely broad knowledge and profound insights into many fields in the back.

Judging from Pei Yue's current level, Lin Qingyuan's writing skills are quite profound, and his annotations and explanations of many classics and history collections make him ashamed. At this time, he couldn't help but think of the idea that Pei Zhen said that Lin Qingyuan proposed, that is, to establish a group with real power.

The cabinet and supervisory agencies gradually weakened the power in the hands of the emperor, forming a simplified version of the virtual monarch and the separation of powers.

In this "On Books", Lin Qingyuan's writings can be roughly divided into three parts. The first part is to analyze the gains and losses of the past dynasties with the help of the works of the world's sages, and the second part is to solve these problems after his own thinking.

method.

Pei Yue keenly discovered that there were certain deficiencies in the content of the second part. It must have been deleted by Emperor Kaiping in advance. After all, judging from the existing fragments, some of Lin Qingyuan's methods were really treasonous to the Tian family.

wrong--

Since this book has been kept in the palace, and Lin Qingyuan died on the eve of the founding of the Liang Dynasty, the contents in the second part must have been deleted by Emperor Gaozu. Pei Yue could not yet determine whether Lin Qingyuan died of illness or an accident, but

One thing should be an undoubted fact, that is, Emperor Gaozu's attitude towards Lin Qingyuan can be described as a mixture of love and hate.

This national scholar helped him establish the foundation of Daliang, but as time went by, the differences between the two became larger and larger, and gradually became irreversible. So after Lin Qingyuan passed away, Gaozu rarely showed his willful side. Among them

The most representative move was to change Taishitai Pavilion beyond recognition, and even the names of the chief officials were incomprehensible.

Pei Yue was immersed in the world of the book, not caring that the night was getting colder. When he saw the third part, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"...The ancients cast a mirror, and if it is large, it will be flat, if it is small, it will be convex. If the mirror is concave, it will illuminate the face of a person, and if it is convex, it will illuminate the face of a person. A small mirror cannot see the whole face, so it is slightly convex, and the face of a person is closed.

If it is small, then the jian may be small but it can fully accommodate the person's face. Still measure the small and large of the jian, which will increase or decrease the size of the person. Often the person's face will be similar to the size of the jian."

Pei Yue only felt that his breathing became faster. This passage was not obscure. From the literal meaning, it was obviously about convex mirrors and concave mirrors.

He stared at the content on the paper closely and continued reading.

"...There is black oil in the territory of Dongling. It was said in the old days that 'fat water comes out of Gaonu County', that's what it means. It was born on the edge of the water. The sand and stones were mixed with the spring water and came out. The natives used pheasants to use it.

Collect it into the fou. It looks like pure lacquer, but it is like hemp, but the smoke is very thick, and the curtain is black."

Is this oil?

The place name Dongling was somewhat familiar, and Pei Yue couldn't remember it for a while, but this was not important, because the most important thing in this record was the description of oil.

He suddenly remembered the lighter found in Lin Qingyuan's former residence. Could this person really be a chain smoker?

But judging from Daliang's current level of development, it may not be easy to separate kerosene from oil. Besides, where can he find tobacco leaves?

etc……

Pei Yue forced himself to calm down. He could understand that Lin Qingyuan recorded this information in the way of writing in this world. It seems that this pioneer probably had a very grand idea. On the one hand, he implemented a long-term strategy in the court structure, and on the other hand, he

On the other hand, he uses what he has learned to moisturize things and quietly change the world.

The latter is precisely Pei Yue's weakness.

He is not from a science and engineering background, and his knowledge is relatively limited. The only things he can tinker with are briquettes, saltpeter ice and black powder. This is thanks to some similar articles he has read in his previous life. If he wants to truly improve the people

Regarding the living standards of the common people, the third part of Lin Qingyuan's "On Books" is an extremely critical supplement for him.

More importantly, now Pei Yue has gradually reached the pinnacle of power. Mr. Xi has steadily expanded the network of Xiangyun in the southern border according to his idea. Lingzhou is also very impressive. If there is Lin Qingyuan's legacy to help, naturally

It can be said to be even more powerful than a tiger!

But Pei Yue's face turned very ugly at this moment.

Because the book in his hand has been opened to the end.

"My uncle, you actually played this trick with me!"

Pei Yue couldn't help cursing. This transcript was obviously not the full text of "Lun Shu" because the third part only had two pages.

Judging from the detailed and complete contents of the first two parts, this book is a masterpiece of Lin Qingyuan's painstaking efforts, almost including his scholarship, statecraft and methods of benefiting the people. As for Lin Qingyuan's conception of the court system, Pei Yue is not completely

I agree, because he has done a lot of research in this area and can look at this issue calmly and with restraint.

Under the current constraints of social productivity, blindly changing the social system is a very dangerous and reckless attempt.

But Lin Qingyuan's method of benefiting the people is particularly important to him, and it is an extremely effective supplement to the development of Xiangyun Hao.

The transcript is missing the following content.

Pei Yue finally came to his senses. Since Emperor Kaiping knew about his life experience, he might have thought that his attainments in merchant skills and unusual ideas were inherited from Lin Qingyuan, so he specially sent this book to let him pay homage to his ancestors.

Rongguang. At the same time, Emperor Kaiping must have felt that Pei Yue was most interested in the third part, so he deleted this part. Pei Yue had to go back to Kyoto to find him if he wanted to see the whole story.

In this way, Pei Yue could not sit back and watch Emperor Kaiping fall into danger.

But is this the truth?

Pei Yue held the book tightly in his right hand and kept pacing in the corridor. He always felt that something was not right.

If Emperor Kaiping needed him to deal with Wang Pingzhang, how could he try every possible means to get him to leave Kyoto? The barbarians are indeed a big trouble, but with the abilities and temperaments of Wei Rui and Tang Linfen, the two can completely complement each other together, and the Tibetan front guards are invincible.

With his morale and strength, it is not a fantasy to solve this problem.

At that time, Emperor Kaiping insisted on letting him leave Beijing and go north, and now he wanted to use this incomplete "Lunshu" to lure him back to Beijing. Wouldn't it be unnecessary to take off his pants and fart?

An unknown thought suddenly appeared in Pei Yue's mind.

He looked at the transcript in his hand. Could it be that the content behind it had been lost long ago?

In any case, we can't delay it any longer.

Pei Yue looked up to the north and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

This time going deep into the wilderness, you not only have to face the traps set by the barbarians, but you also have to be wary of the cold arrows shot from behind.

But he is fearless.

…

Kyoto thousands of miles away.

Late at night, the palace is still brightly lit.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Kaiping was sitting behind the imperial desk, holding an ancient book in his hand, which was the complete "Lunshu" that Pei Yue had been obsessed with.

Chen An, the deputy commander of Luan Yiwei, stood with his head bowed and spoke in a calm and gentle tone about the events in the city in recent days.

Emperor Kaiping's face was indifferent. His eyes narrowed slightly when he heard the words "Xiao Jin, Marquis of Xiangcheng". After Chen An finished reporting, he did not ask for the details of the news. Instead, he unexpectedly asked: "Can you

Do you know Duke Lin Zhongwu?"

Zhongwu is Lin Qingyuan’s posthumous title.

Chen An nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I admire Duke Lin Zhongwu very much."

Emperor Kaiping put down the scroll and said leisurely: "Then do you know that Pei Yue is Lin Qingyuan's great-great-grandson?"

Chen An was stunned. The emperor's tone was understatement, but it took him a few breaths to react, and a look of shock immediately appeared on his face.

Emperor Kaiping was obviously not interested in answering his questions and continued: "I have always had the feeling that the reason why Emperor Gaozu couldn't tolerate Lin Qingyuan back then was not because of his great achievements or evil intentions, but because Lin Qingyuan had no respect for the Tian family.

."

Big drops of sweat appeared on Chen An's forehead. He really is with you like a tiger. Who wants to know such a secret?

The so-called secrets often turn into life-threatening poison.

Emperor Kaiping stared at the candles in the distance and said slowly: "Pei Yue is very similar to Lin Qingyuan in some aspects. He is equally talented and has the same mind for the common people, but I don't want him to follow in the footsteps of his ancestors."
