Invincible son

In addition to the almost self-deprecating joke on the first page of this "On Book", Lin Qingyuan showed his extremely extensive knowledge and profound insights on many fields in the back.

Judging from Pei Yue's current level, Lin Qingyuan's writing skills are quite profound, and his annotations and elaborations on many subsets of classics and history make him feel inferior.At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the idea that Lin Qingyuan proposed by Pei Zhen, that is, to establish a cabinet and a supervisory agency with real power, gradually weaken the power in the hands of the emperor, and form a simplified version of the virtual monarch and the separation of powers.

In this "On the Book", Lin Qingyuan's works can be roughly divided into three parts. The first part is to analyze the gains and losses of previous 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 was a certain lack in the second part, presumably Emperor Kaiping deleted it in advance, after all, judging from the existing clips, some of Lin Qingyuan's methods were really outrageous to the Tian Family.

wrong--

Since this book has been stored in the imperial palace, and Lin Qingyuan died on the eve of the founding of Daliang, the contents of the second part must have been deleted by Emperor Gaozu.Whether Lin Qingyuan died of illness or an accident, Pei Yue could not be sure for the time being, but one thing should be an undoubted fact, that is Gaozu's attitude towards Lin Qingyuan can be described as love-hate.

The national scholar helped him establish the foundation of Liang, but as time went by, the differences between the two became more and more serious, and gradually reached the point of no return.So much so that after Lin Qingyuan passed away, Gao Zu showed a willful side very rarely. The most representative move was to change the Taishitai Pavilion beyond recognition, even the name of the chief official was inexplicable.

Pei Yue was immersed in the world of the book, and he didn't care that the night was getting colder. When he saw the third part, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"...The ancients cast mirrors, and if the mirror is large, it will be flat, and if it is small, it will be convex. Wherever the mirror is hollow, it will be bigger, and if it is convex, it will be smaller. Small mirrors can't fully see the human face, so it is slightly convex, and the face is ordered. Small means that even though the mirror is small, it can fully accommodate human face. Still measure the size of the mirror, the gain and loss, and the size of the mirror is often similar to the size of the mirror.”

Pei Yue only felt that his breathing became short of breath, this passage was not obscure, it was obviously talking about a convex mirror and a concave mirror from the literal meaning.

He stared closely at the content on the paper and continued to look down.

"...There is black oil in Dongling. It is said in the old days that 'Gaonu County produces fat water'. It is collected in the pot. It looks like pure lacquer, but it is like hemp, but the smoke is very thick, and the curtains are all black."

This is oil?

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

He suddenly remembered the lighter he found in Lin Qingyuan's former residence, could this be really a smoker?
But judging from Daliang's current level of development, it might not be an easy task to separate kerosene from petroleum. Besides, where can he find tobacco leaves?
and many more……

Pei Yue forced himself to calm down, he could understand that Lin Qingyuan recorded the information in the way of this world.Presumably, this forerunner probably has a very grand idea. On the one hand, he will implement a long-term strategy in the court structure, and on the other hand, he will use what he has learned to change the world quietly.

The latter was precisely Pei Yue's weakness.

He didn't come from a science or engineering background, so his knowledge was relatively limited. The things he could tinker with were honeycomb briquettes, saltpeter to make ice, and black powder. This was thanks to some similar articles he had read in his previous life.If he wants to truly improve the living standards of the Li people, the third part of Lin Qingyuan's "On Books" is an extremely crucial supplement for him.

More importantly, today's Pei Yue has gradually touched the peak of power. Mr. Xi has steadily spread the network of the Xiangyun in the southern border according to his idea, and Lingzhou is also very impressive. If there is Lin Qingyuan's legacy to help, naturally It can be called even more powerful!

But Pei Yue's expression became very ugly at the moment.

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

"Your uncle, you actually played this hand with me!"

Pei Yue couldn't help cursing, this transcript was obviously not the full text of "On Books", because the third part only had two pages.

Judging from the detailed and complete content of the first two parts, this book is the masterpiece of Lin Qingyuan's painstaking efforts, almost including his way of academic study, the art of governing the country and the method of helping the people.Regarding Lin Qingyuan's conception of the court system, Pei Yue did not fully agree, because he has done a lot of research in this area, and he can look at this issue calmly and restraintly.

Under the constraints of existing social productive forces, blindly changing the social system is a very dangerous and reckless attempt.

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

The transcript is missing the following content.

Pei Yue finally came to his senses. Since Emperor Kaiping knew his background, he probably thought that his accomplishments in businessmanship and ideas different from ordinary people were inherited from Lin Qingyuan, so he specially sent this book to let him pay tribute to his ancestors. Glory.At the same time, Emperor Kaiping must have felt that Pei Yue was most interested in the third part, so he deleted this part, and Pei Yue had to go back to Kyoto to find him if he wanted to see the whole picture.

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

But is the truth of the matter?

Pei Yue held the scroll tightly in his right hand and kept pacing in the corridor, he always felt that something was wrong.

If Emperor Kaiping needed him to deal with Wang Pingzhang, how could he do everything possible to make him leave the capital?The barbarians are indeed a big problem, but with the abilities and temperaments of Wei Rui and Tang Linfen, the two can complement each other completely, coupled with the invincible morale and strength of Zang Fengwei, it is not whimsical to solve this problem.

At that time, Emperor Kaiping insisted on letting him leave Beijing and go north, but now he wants to use this incomplete "On Book" to lure him back to Beijing. Wouldn't it be unnecessary to take off his pants and fart?
An ominous thought suddenly popped up in Pei Yue's mind.

He looked at the transcript in his hand, could it be that the content behind it has long been lost?
In any case, it cannot be delayed any longer.

Pei Yue looked up to the north and let out a breath of foul air slowly.

Going deep into the wilderness this time, not only have to face the traps set by the barbarians, but also beware of cold arrows shot from behind.

But he was fearless.

……

Kyoto thousands of miles away.

In the middle of the night, the palace was still brightly lit.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Kaiping sat behind the imperial case, holding an ancient book in his hand, which was the complete "On Books" that Pei Yue never forgot.

Chen An, the deputy commander of Luan Yiwei, stood with his head down, and described the movements in the capital in a calm and gentle tone in recent days.

Emperor Kaiping's face was indifferent, but his eyes narrowed slightly when he heard the words "Xiangcheng Hou Xiaojin". After Chen An finished reporting, he did not ask for details of the news, but unexpectedly asked: "Can you Do you know Lord Lin Zhongwu?"

Zhongwu is Lin Qingyuan's posthumous title.

Chen An nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I admire Lord 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 downplaying, but it took him a few breaths to react, and a shocked expression appeared on his face immediately.

Emperor Kaiping obviously had no interest in resolving his doubts, 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 conspiracy, but because Lin Qingyuan had no respect for the Tian family. .”

There were bean-sized drops of sweat on Chen An's forehead. It really is like accompanying a tiger. Who wants to know such a secret?
The so-called secrets often become life-threatening poisons.

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

"This time is my final test for him."
