Sima Jizhu and Sima Tan are naturally doing much more than just compiling a new calendar.
In fact, Liu Che had already promised and granted some of their conditions.
Sima Tan hopes to get the support of the country to collect historical materials from all over the world and record Chinese history in its original and objective form, starting from the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan to the present day.
This is a very huge project.
Without the support of the state and the efforts of 20 to 30 years, it would be impossible to accomplish this.
Historically, Tai Shigong wrote "Historical Records" with great perseverance.
But in fact, the historical records are not complete.
And there are a lot of gaps.
Many famous figures and classic stories are not included.
But this cannot be blamed on Tai Shigong. He only wrote the historical records with his own efforts, dragging his broken body and working silently for decades.
Liu Che naturally agreed with this matter.
Recording history and rectifying its origins is indeed what a country should do.
As for Sima Jizhu, Liu Che agreed to him on the condition that he help him compile a "Book of Heavenly Officials" and "Book of Laws".
Naturally, Liu Che also fully supported Sima Jizhu in doing this.
The Book of Heavenly Officials appears to be a book written by an astrologer who records the God of the Stars.
But this is not the case. In China, Tianguan is often used not in the religious category, but in the astronomical category, and will even have a profound impact on Chinese philosophy, humanities, and geography.
Shun said: Xuan Ji Yu Heng, to Qi Qi Zheng.
In fact, the study of astronomy in China has always been closely related to philosophy, humanities, geography and even the governing strategies of the rulers.
It has even penetrated into the core of the thoughts of various schools of thought and has become an indispensable part of Chinese culture.
Unified compilation and compilation of an official "Book of Heavenly Officials" can indeed stabilize the rule and further emphasize Liu Che's governance and legitimacy of rule.
As for the Book of Laws, that is even more remarkable.
Since ancient times, kings have legislated things and regulated things, all based on laws, which are the foundation of all things!
For China, law can be divided into narrow sense and broad sense.
The law in the narrow sense is the law of twelve yin and yang.
The six laws of yang are called lü, and the six laws of yin are called lv. They are the study of the rhythm of musical instruments.
This in itself is already very high.
Because Chinese rituals and music are not divided into different families, rituals and music have been the core of royal rule since ancient times!
This reason alone is enough for the ruling class to treat it with caution.
Not to mention, the law in a broad sense covers everything.
It is the embodiment of the laws of the movement of heaven, earth, stars, all things, and a projection of laws, regulations, and policies.
Therefore, when the Han Dynasty was first established, the first thing Liu Bang did after proclaiming himself emperor was to sacrifice the leader of the army, Chi You, the second thing was to reward him based on his merits, and the third thing was to order Xiao He to "submit the law and order".
The most obvious move is to abandon the Qin Dynasty's sacred number twelve and use five instead.
This is very important. On the surface, the Han Empire and the Qin Dynasty are not the same people.
In addition, the sun, moon, five stars and twenty-eight bodies, in the view of traditional academia, are the key to the normal operation of heaven and earth and the key to the birth of all things in the world.
This gave Liu Che an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, an opportunity to do something private.
Therefore, after Liu Che chatted with the two elders for a while, he deliberately excused himself from Sima Tan and the others.
Only he and Lord Sima Ji were left sitting alone in the room.
"Your Majesty, what if there is anything that requires me to die?" Sima Jizhu was certainly not stupid. He naturally knew that Liu Che had sent away all the others, and even sent away his close followers. There must be something going on, and it was something extraordinary.
He has to do things.
So he immediately bowed and said: "If I can do it, please give me your Majesty's instructions!"
Liu Che looked at Lord Sima Ji.
After pondering for a moment, he took out a thin piece of paper that had been treasured for a long time from his arms, handed it to Sima Jizhu and said: "I would like to ask the elder to find a way to record the text in it when compiling the "Book of Laws" in the future.
Go in..."
Master Sima Ji took the piece of tissue paper and looked at it. He was a little confused, but after careful observation, he looked at Liu Che as if he had seen a ghost.
After a long time, he asked: "Your Majesty, where did this thing come from?"
Liu Che smiled, pointed to the sky, and said: "This is a gift from heaven!"
"Old sir, don't be excited..." Liu Che told him with a smile: "Sir, you only need to append the Chinese text to any place when compiling the "Lüshu" in the future, even in the corner..."
Liu Che looked at Lord Sima Ji with burning eyes.
What was written on this piece of paper, looking at it now, is nonsense.
It can even be said to be treasonous.
But Liu Che knew that in the future, it would inevitably become a guiding light for the leap forward in China's natural sciences and physical chemistry.
This can be regarded as a golden finger left by Liu Che, a time traveler, to future generations.
Its name is the periodic law of elements.
Of course, it is not perfect and may even have many errors.
After all, after decades, what I learned in school has basically been returned to the teacher, and what I can still remember is the basic law of the periodic law of elements.
Then these things and the predicted elemental periodic rules are explained in words that people today can understand.
For example, for elements in the same period, as the atomic number increases, their metallicity decreases and their nonmetallicity increases.
The usage is: For anything with five elements, if its Yang increases, its Metal will decrease, and its other elements will increase.
Anyway, I use words that can be understood and understood as much as possible, but cannot be seen for the time being.
Just wait until later generations when China's science and technology advance enough to discover and explore the microscopic world.
These words will definitely become a golden finger, which will greatly reduce the time and cost for future generations to explore the truth, and can also become a guiding light.
Of course, in order to prevent future generations from discovering this text hidden in the book of laws, Liu Che also prepared a backup plan.
In the future, he will leave some edicts and some enlightening words to hint to others.
Just like the famous saying of One Piece: Do you want my wealth?
Then go find it!
I hide them all in these places!
Look carefully and you will definitely find it!
A prophecy of treasure left by the Pirate King made the entire Pirate King world excited.
So, how many people would look for the wealth of a holy king and a pioneer of the era?
Liu Che didn't know.
But since Qin Shihuang asked for the elixir of immortality, how many emperors in later generations have been pursuing it diligently, and you can tell by using the iron head skill to hit it even though they knew it was a dead end.
Anyway, Liu Che knew that there would be countless people looking for and studying the words and hints he left behind.
This is his ambition for future generations.
Leave a plug-in for future generations, so that they can avoid detours and find the scientific road as quickly as possible.
This will truly elevate the civilization of this country to a level beyond the reach of all other nations. (To be continued.)
