I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 368: Go find Taishi Ling!

The meeting between Hu Guang and Dou Zhang made them both feel helpless.

The two of them are known as celebrities, and they are also very rare in this world. The word fame is real.

But they all use women to get to the top, which makes people laugh.

Facing the current situation in the court, they could only sigh silently.

Although his attitude was very tough just now.

But they also know very well that a tough attitude will not allow them to stand up next time.

The quarrel in the court and the struggle for power with the emperor are completely different things.

They don't have the courage to do this.

On the other side, Liu Long also fell into a brief silence after seeing off the big man Sikong Cui Yuan.

Even the court meeting on the second day, he chose to give up on the grounds that he was infected with the cold.

Afterwards, in the worried eyes of Cao Teng and Du Jigong, Liu Long finally said another name.

"Is Taishi Ling Zhang Heng in the government office now?"

"Reporting to your majesty, today is not Xiu Mu, so of course he is here."

"I heard that Zhang Heng has done well recently?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Taishi Ling is currently building the Armillary Sphere, which is already quite effective."

"Armillary Sphere" Liu Long finally nodded silently after hearing this familiar name, "It's very good, but I don't quite understand this celestial phenomenon.

I have nothing to do today, so I went to look for him..."

"My lord, let him come to see you now!"

Although Liu Long used the word "Xun", as long as Cao Teng had not turned into a fool, he should have known that Xun was asking Zhang Heng to find him.

If the emperor still needs to find a 600-stone Taishi Ling, then he is not afraid that the Taishi Ling will shorten his life?

As Cao Teng trotted along, Liu Long soon saw Zhang Heng, whom he had admired for a long time.

At the same time, I also gained some understanding of what he did.

Originally he wanted to ask about the seismometer, but it turned out that Zhang Heng was working as a Taishi Ling, so he was dealing with celestial phenomena every day.

The armillary sphere is also a matter of celestial phenomena.

But Liu Long didn't understand this at all.

He could only let Zhang Heng explain something to him.

"Your Majesty may not know much about celestial phenomena, but in fact, I, a big man, now have several opinions about the world.

Of course, the main three are Gaitian, Xuanye and Huntian.

Among them, some great Confucian scholars believe that the sky is like a cover, and the cover is between the heaven and the earth. They believe that the sky is like a cover, and the cover is in the far north. The sky cover rotates to the left, and the sun, moon and stars rotate to the right.

In this way, we have the world and the stars, the sun and the moon that I, the great man, have now.

Another group of great scholars recognized Xuan Ye theory.

They believe that the sky has no shape, and that the sun, moon and stars "naturally float in the void" and are not attached to "celestial bodies".

This type of thing. To be honest with you, even an old man cannot understand it clearly.

Because the things involved are indeed a bit too magical, they can justify it but I don't agree with it.

But I agree with the Huntian theory.

I believe that the sky is like an egg shell and the earth is like an egg yolk. The sky and the earth stand on the basis of energy and carry water. "

Zhang Heng tried very hard to explain these things to Liu Long, but something unfortunate happened.

Liu Long really couldn't understand these words.

In the end, Zhang Heng could only ask someone to bring over some pictures. At the same time, after getting permission, he walked to Liu Long's side.

"Your Majesty, Xuan Ye's theory is too magical now, so although some people agree with it, it is not considered the mainstream of my big man. At this time, my big man mainly has two theories, Gaitian and Huntian, competing side by side.

Although I believe in the theory of Hun Tian, ​​I dare not say that this theory of Hun Tian is more correct or the truth!

All I can say is that now my Huntian lineage is indeed gradually gaining the upper hand.

At the same time, whether it is Taishi Ling or the Confucian scholars among the people, if they want to observe the celestial phenomena, they must use something.

Therefore, this type of artifacts continue to appear.

This is not the first time that Dahan has created such a thing.

For example, during the reign of Emperor Xiaowu, the famous scholar Luo Xiahong created the "Taichu Calendar" and abandoned the Zhuanxu Calendar that could no longer be used.

Thus, I, the great man, re-created the method of movement of heaven and earth.

At the same time, Luo Xiahong also built an armillary sphere to observe and calibrate celestial phenomena.

In addition, during the reign of Emperor Xiaoxuan, Geng Shouchang built the Armillary Sphere.

The famous scholar Jia Kui, the mentor of Sikong Cui Yuan at that time, even made a bronze zodiac instrument.

I was lucky enough to see this object at close range, and I knew that there was another sky number under this cloudy sky, so I came up with an idea.

I want to build an armillary sphere again in the position of Taishi Ling.

Chen wants to study the yin and yang and discover the righteousness of Xuanji!

The main body of the armillary sphere created by Chen this time is a main sphere that is almost the same as other generations of armillary spheres.

It is a circle that can operate on several levels to simulate the heaven and earth!

And on the outermost layer of the armillary sphere, the circumference created by me is as much as one foot, four feet and six inches.

This number is also the final number obtained by Chen Duo’s calculations.

After that, each layer is engraved with things that have been discovered by our great Han Dynasty and the sages of the past generations.

There are internal and external double rules, as well as the south and north poles, the yellow and the equator, the twenty-four solar terms, and the twenty-eight constellations.

In addition, I also carved the "middle" and "outer" stars, the sun, the moon, the five latitudes and other celestial phenomena.

Then two clepsydras were attached to the instrument. There were holes in the bottom of the pots. The dripping water pushed the circle, and the circle slowly rotated according to the scale.

In this way, you can truly imitate how the celestial phenomenon works. If this celestial phenomenon works, how do the many stars around it work.

In this way, many things can be deduced.

It also includes a lot of weird celestial phenomena! "

"Weird celestial phenomenon?" When Liu Long heard this, he finally became somewhat interested, "For example?"

"For example, a common saying among the people is that it is very unlucky for the Tengu to eat the sun!

Although this matter seems absurd and weird, if you look at it from the armillary sphere.

It's just that there are other stars blocking the sun of my big man. After a while, it will follow the movement of the heaven and the earth.

The stars naturally gave way.

Then the sun will appear in front of us again.

It's a pity that although this kind of thing is simple to say, it is still extremely difficult to make all people familiar with it.

If I didn't have some understanding of celestial phenomena, I would probably want to understand what I said.

It’s a little too difficult.”

"I can understand it."

Just when Zhang Heng looked helpless and emotional, Liu Long suddenly spoke.

And Zhang Heng became interested in just one sentence.

"Have any weird celestial phenomena happened recently?"
