Chapter 482

Confucianism claims that heaven and man are connected, monarchy is granted by God, and heaven is high. How to instruct the world can only be warned through various disasters.

If the Mohists, like an artificial rainbow, were to uncover the secret of the heavenly dog eating the sun, I'm afraid the Heavenly Man induction claimed by Confucianism would become a joke. This is also the reason why Quan Wanji is still strong even though he knows that the occasion is wrong.

"When the heavenly dog eats the sun, it is dark, the stars twinkle, and the day and night are reversed. The people are frightened. They think that the heavenly dog eats the day, and they beat gongs and drums to drive away the heavenly dog. This is the reason why the heavenly dog eats the day." Merton said.

"This is a warning from heaven, but it's just for my subjects to reflect on themselves. Why not?" Quan Wanji argued.

Merton said coldly, "God warns? In all dynasties, when disasters happen, hundreds of officials in the court shake. In the Han Dynasty, locusts cross the border, Sikong goes, the Earth Dragon turns over, the Taiwei is removed, Tiangou eats the sun, and the prime minister is dismissed. Now our Tang Dynasty has repeatedly defeated floods, droughts and locusts. Now it seems that those Sikong and Sima who have been removed are so innocent." Merton sneered on his face.

"It's the fatuous Hall of the Western Han Dynasty. Now the son of heaven Shengming will not have such a ridiculous thing." Quan Wanji flattered quietly.

"If there is a dog eating day on the first day of May, what do adults Quan think is the reason? Is it because God is dissatisfied with my Datang?" Merton raised his eyebrows and asked.

Quan Wanji sneered and didn't take the lead: "let alone that there will be no solar eclipse in early May. Even if there is a solar eclipse, it's not just to change if there is one or not."

"What if an eclipse is a natural phenomenon like a rainbow?" pursued Merton.

Quan Wanji immediately sniffed and said, "if you can make a solar eclipse in public, I will see you retreat in the future."

Merton shook his head and said: "Naturally, I can't create a solar eclipse, but if there is light, it will be bright, and if there is no light, it will be dark. When Tengu eats the moon, the sky is dark, the stars appear, and the day and night are reversed. However, in Mo's opinion, the reason why the night comes is that it also falls into Yu Valley and is blocked by 100000 mountains in the West. Similarly, the reason why Tengu eats the moon is that the day and night are reversed is also because The sun is blocked. "

With a wave of Merton's hand, the curtain that had just faded rose slowly again. This time, the curtain step only covered half of the venue. Half of the entire venue was in the sun, and the other half was in the shadow. Even in some dark corners, it was very dark, which was almost the same as the scene of the night.

Li Shimin looked at the half bright and half dark venue. He couldn't help moving and vaguely grasped something.

As soon as Merton took a step, he crossed the junction of light and darkness. From the shadow to the sun, he proudly said: "with light and shadow, Mohism dares to say the second, and no one dares to say the first in the world."

Merton's words are justified, because in the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid there is no second school to study optics except Mohism. Moreover, Merton's small hole imaging, reading glasses, myopia glasses, sunglasses and artificial rainbows have attracted the attention of the world. Not to mention ordinary people, even Quan Wanji can't deny this.

"The day is as dark as night when the dog eats the day. I wonder if Lord Quan has seen the record of the dog eating the day. Once the dog eating the day occurs, the night will cover thousands of miles from east to west, but only 200 miles from north to south. In other places, the day is the same. Is it because the dog eating the day did not engulf the sun in other places, or is it that there is not one sun shining on the north and south of the river?" Merton asked repeatedly.

"Ah!" Quan wanjiton was sweating. This was the biggest loophole in Tiangou's eclipse of the sun. Unexpectedly, he was caught by Mohist Zi again.

"This is just your guess. It's unpredictable. How can you guess God!" Quan Wanji insisted.

However, they found how powerless Quan Wanji's words were. With Merton's demonstration, the people present had long been convinced. At least the Tiangou eclipse day is only 200 miles north and south, and the rest of the day is the same, which has broken the myth of Tiangou eclipse day.

Li Shimin was also shocked and his eyes suddenly lit up. The scope of the solar eclipse was limited. There was a solar eclipse in the Yellow River Basin. Although a partial solar eclipse could be seen in the south of the Yangtze River, the day was the same as before. If it was a Tengu eclipse, it shouldn't be all night. This phenomenon is very simple, but countless people ignored it. Now, after Merton's advice, everyone suddenly became angry Seton Kai was deeply suspicious of the dog's eclipse,

"That's because God is warning in this place!" Quan Wanji argued.

Merton shook his head and said, "from the Mohist point of view, the so-called Tiangou eclipse of the sun is probably just a vision of heaven and earth that will occur at a specific time. It is not a warning of Tiangou eclipse of the sun and heaven falling."

"Hiss!"

Everyone took a breath. Merton's conjecture was not bold and unimaginable, but looking at the half dark and half sunny venue, all the people were convinced.

"It's really arrogant. It's very rare for Tiangou to eat the sun. How did you learn from Mojia Zi? Could it be that you can communicate with the gods and know in advance that there will be a solar eclipse in early May? I'm afraid it's just your guess!" Quan Wanji Leng snorted.

Merton nodded and said, "this is indeed Mo's guess. However, when Mo looked through the books, he found an extremely interesting thing."

Quan wanjiton had a bad feeling. The Mo family thought it was interesting. For him, it might not be interesting.

"According to the textual research, the earliest record of solar eclipse in the book of Songs - Yin Zheng chapter was in the Xia Dynasty, about 2000 years before the Tang Dynasty There are also records of solar eclipses: at the turn of October, the new moon Xinmao, and the sun has eclipses. Since the Han Dynasty, almost all solar eclipses have been recorded in historical books. If you are familiar with historical books, you can find a very interesting phenomenon, that is, all Tiangou eclipses occur before and after the new moon, that is, around the first day of each month. "Merton smiled.

"If so!"

In the box, Li Shimin looked at many historical books in front of him and frantically read the records of the solar eclipse. He surprisingly found that all the solar eclipses were around the new moon.

"What does this mean?" Quan Wanji said in horror in his voice. He was a learned man. Naturally, he knew that what Merton said was true.

"This really doesn't mean anything. If we rearrange all the time and places of solar eclipses in the past two thousand years, you will find a more interesting phenomenon. The time and place of Tiangou eclipses appear periodically, that is, the times of Tiangou eclipses in Datang are the same every other period of time. That is to say, no matter what Whether the emperor is in power, natural disasters continue, and the people are unable to make a living, or whether the Emperor Ming is alive, the weather is good, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the solar eclipses occur in regular cycles. "Merton broke a shocking news.

Suddenly, the whole audience was shocked.
