Chapter 1020

"Official family, official family..." At this time, outside the study, Ma Shang's soft call came, which finally made Emperor Zhao Xu relieve his spirit.

"Come in, is there anything wrong?" Emperor Zhao Xu quickly wiped the hair scattered on his cheeks. Well, he seemed to have lost his composure just now. Fortunately, only his own Zi Tong saw it.

"Official family, Lord Shen Kuoshen has returned to Beijing. He just arrived at the inn a while ago. Look..." After Ma Shang entered the inner court, he asked in a low voice.

"Oh? Then I really want to meet this master who was repeatedly praised by Wang Wushan." Emperor Zhao Xu couldn't help but look forward to it. "You go and pass the imperial edict and let Chen Qing enter the palace to meet him immediately."

"Official family, is this Lord Shen so capable? It is worth mentioning Mr. Wushan repeatedly." Empress Meng blinked and asked curiously.

"After mentioning this person in Wang Wushan, I began to pay attention to this person. He was originally from Qiantang, Hangzhou. He was a Jinshi in the Jiayou period. During the Xining period, he participated in Mr. Anshi's reform. In the fifth year of Xining, he was promoted to the Sitianjian, Shangjianggang, floating and leaking three discussions, and recommended Wei Puxiu's "Fengyuan Li".

In February of the eighth year of Xining, after Shen Kuo returned to Beijing, he submitted a memorial to propose 31 rectification suggestions, most of which were recognized and adopted by the late emperor. In September, he also served as the military weapon supervisor, responsible for the casting and reserve of weapons.

He put forward the view that "the bow has six virtues" and suggested that a large number of "sacred arm bows" be made. By May of the following year, when the military weapon supervisor reported to the court, the output of weapons increased by more than ten times...

Later, he went to Liangzhe to inspect water conservancy and was in charge of the service. In the eighth year of Xining, he sent Liao to the Liao Dynasty and denounced him for land struggle. He also considered the situation of mountains and rivers and the customs of the people, and reported the "Tuan Tushuo".

The following year, he served as a Hanlin Bachelor and the envoy of the Three Departments of Quan, rectified the Shaanxi Salt Administration. He advocated reducing the money for the lower households. Later, he was appointed to Yanzhou, Shaanxi Road, and strengthened the defense of Xixia...

"He is well-informed and has studied astronomy, geography, calendar, music, medicine, etc. He is a master of water craftsmanship, Yu Hao, and iron and copper smelting. He has made all the records in detail. He also carefully studied medicinal plants and medicine and wrote "Good Recipes" ten volumes..."

Listening to the emperor Zhao Xu talking to him, Empress Meng couldn't help but take a breath. "When the official said this, he is really an amazing pillar of the country."

Emperor Zhao Xu nodded slightly and said, "No, it's a pity that he was involved in the defeat of Yongle City. Then, because he was a new party, he had no chance to enter the court. He could only live in Runzhou to build Mengxi Garden, and write books in Mengxi Garden..."

"I have never been able to investigate this ability. It is my fault. Fortunately, Wang Wushan heard about Shen Kuo's past, so he began to have letters with Shen Kuo. The two exchanged knowledge and discussed each other. It was already a long time since they had a relationship with God."

"After Wang Wushan went to Shaanxi Road, I was suffering from the lack of good materials around me. He not only recommended Zong Ze, but also recommended this Chen Qing family."

"But when Wang Wushan recommended this Chen Qing family, he once mentioned to me that the Chen Qing family was developing a magical machine. If it could be done, it would attract the attention of the world. The significance is not even under the Yuanyou printing technology."

Hearing this, Queen Meng couldn't help but take another breath. "Is this true?"

"At least Wang Wushan told me this, which really made me look forward to it. Now that he has finally arrived in the capital, I must ask the Chen Qing family what magical machinery he has developed, which deserves such praise from Wang Wushan."

In the inn where he was temporarily living, after seeing the close proprietor around the emperor, Shen Kuo, who was already gray-haired, couldn't help but take a deep breath. Finally, he calmed down his mind and bowed to the eunuch.

"Dear, there is something here for the Xiaguan to offer to His Majesty. I would like to ask my father-in-law to send someone to the palace together..."

"Your Majesty had already told us before our family came. Of course there is no problem. Why don't you come here and help Mr. Shen carry the things out?"

"Thank you, my father-in-law, please be lighter. This thing is very delicate. If it shakes too much, it may be easily damaged."

After hearing Shen Kuo's words, the eunuch quickly told the flirty guards to be careful. The group then left the inn and rushed towards the palace city.

Emperor Zhao Xu, who was waiting in the hall for almost an hour, saw an old minister with gray hair coming towards the imperial study room. Beside him were four powerful imperial soldiers, carrying a heavy wooden box about one person high, and whispering toward this side.

This made Emperor Zhao Xu even more curious and couldn't help but sit behind the imperial case and stand up.

"Old minister Shen Kuo, please see Your Majesty..." Shen Kuo lifted up his front and walked into the imperial study room. When he saw the young king who looked like the last emperor, he couldn't help but sigh and fell to the ground.

"Shen Qing's family invites you to come to the court, but I have been waiting for you for a long time." The emperor bypassed the imperial case and personally reached out to help Shen Kuo up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, although I am far away in the south of the Yangtze River, I still care about the Song Dynasty in my heart. I hope that one day I will continue to serve my Song Dynasty and Your Majesty..." Shen Kuo couldn't help but burst into tears for the emperor Zhao Xu's behavior, making him unable to help but feel grateful.

He was a new party. Since he was involved in the Battle of Leyongcheng, the late emperor passed away, and the old party took office, and drove all the new party out of the court. At that time, Shen Kuo felt that his whole life was gloomy.

There is no longer the possibility of continuing to be loyal to the country. We can only express our love among mountains and rivers, and hope to be able to record what we have learned throughout our lives in books for future generations to learn.

But who would have thought that a letter from Shaanxi disrupted Shen Kuo's peaceful life in writing. Wang Yang and Wang Wushan, a young man who had never known him and was famous in Tokyo Bianliang, actually wrote to communicate with him.

At first, Shen Kuo thought that the pretentious young people wanted to show off their knowledge in front of him, hoping to learn from him.

But the result was not what he thought. The profoundness of Wang Yang's knowledge actually shocked Shen Kuo. In the letters he had communicated with him, the Yuanyou cement, Yuanyou movable type printing technology, the principles of Yuanyou coking technology, and various mechanical principles he mentioned in his letters.

After a while, Shen Kuo and Wang Yang became friends in their letter exchanges. The two sides exchanged their respective academic theories and opinions. In the end, Wang Yang's novel concepts of mathematics, geometry, investigation, and even chemistry deeply attracted Shen Kuo.

When Wang Yang asked Shen Kuo to come out of the mountain for the third time and returned to the North Korea to serve, Shen Kuo agreed, but before he set off,
