Chapter 1242

"No, this is definitely slander!" seeing Li Shimin's bad eyes, Merton quickly changed his mouth and retorted with righteous words on his face.

"Slander? The gunpowder of the engineering camp opened the mountain, roared continuously, the mountain god was angry, the disaster star hung high in the night sky and warned by heaven. This is irrefutable evidence. How can it be slander?" Ma Jiayun said angrily.

"The mountain god is angry, and the disaster star is here! How can you be sure that this is a warning from heaven if Confucianism doesn't practice the art of immortals?" Merton retorted.

Ma Jiayun suddenly looked up at Li Chunfeng and wanted Taoism to comment on the heaven and man of Confucianism. Li Chunfeng turned his head slightly and avoided Ma Jiayun's eyes. He couldn't help but vent. In the past, when Confucianism was only respected, Taoism followed the lead of Confucianism. Now even Taoism has begun to have its own plans.

"Broom star is a disaster star, which is recorded in historical books. You can't argue in black and white." Ma Jiayun turned his eyes to historian Yan shigu.

Yan shigu got up reluctantly and said, "history books do have records that broom stars are disaster stars, and every time they are accompanied by major events."

Historians exist on the basis of Confucianism, not to mention Yan shigu's ancestors had the friendship of teachers and disciples with Confucius. Historians can only stand up and endorse Confucianism.

"What if I say that the broom star is not a warning from heaven, but a periodic fixed appearance, like sunrise and sunset, and does not disappear as a disaster?" Merton said faintly.

"The broom star appears periodically and regularly." all officials in the Manchu Dynasty can't help but exclaim. If the broom star is not a disaster star, how ridiculous their previous behavior will be.

Li Chunfeng could not help sighing. The main reason why he was unwilling to endorse Confucianism was the Mohist school. He could observe the broom star many days ago. He believed that the Mohist school could also observe it, and the Mohist school could not lead it. This made him have to be careful. At the moment, it has confirmed his idea, and the Mohist school has repeatedly created miracles, so he must have figured out the countermeasures long ago.

Ma Jiayun sneered at his speech and said, "there is a fixed cycle. The ink sacrifice will not take out the history books again. Let's find the law! To be honest, Ma looked through the history books all night and found that the broom star has no law at all."

Historian Yan shigu also nodded. Since mojiazi calculated the solar eclipse and lunar eclipse with historical books, he once thoroughly studied the historical books and found that he could not summarize the law of broom stars.

Merton sneered: "if you Confucians and historians can't sum it up, it doesn't mean that other hundred schools can't find the law!"

Yu Zhining interposed: "ink sacrifice wine should not be far fetched in order to get rid of his sin!"

Merton shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about Mohism, but the one pulse of arithmetic. All schools of thought, such as Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism and so on, will be biased against the understanding of things because of their own theories, while the one pulse of arithmetic is absolutely rational."

"Everyone can lie to you, but you can't do math."

The famous saying of Merton flashed through the hearts of all officials in the Manchu Dynasty. Now this famous saying has been recognized by everyone. Mathematics is a cold number and will never make mistakes. If it is mathematics to calculate the emergence law of broom stars, I'm afraid it can immediately clear the charges of Mohism.

Merton said with a smile, "I've heard that my ancestors are studying a new type of mathematical knowledge called number series. I wonder if your Majesty would like to see it."

Li Shimin glared at Merton, waved his big hand and said, "xuanzu's name is on the hall."

The ancestral name Junru is now joining the court as an official, but he has not met the conditions for going to the court. Now, because Merton has repeatedly ascended the Tai Chi hall, I don't know whether it is an honor or bad luck.

Soon, the confused zumingjun came in a hurry. He was startled to see the formation of all officials in the Manchu Dynasty. When he learned the purpose of announcing him to the temple, he was in a dilemma.

This is indeed the best time to become famous. But if it really proves the regularity of broom star, I'm afraid it will offend Confucianism, but he has to do it. After all, this is the ultimate destiny of every hundred schools. If you want a hundred schools to contend, don't be afraid to offend other hundred schools, let alone wash away the accusation of broom star for his good friend mojiazi.

"I obey your orders!"

Zu Mingjun was ordered to record the time when the broom star appeared in the history books immediately on the paper, and calculate the time when each broom star appeared in batches.

However, the ancestor Lacrosse frowned more and more, because he found that the numbers he calculated could not form a series at all. In other words, the emergence of broom stars is not regular at all. Naturally, it is impossible to calculate the approximate time of the next broom star. "

"I didn't calculate the law of broom star." Zu Mingjun said decadent.

Many officials sneered. The Mohist school didn't say that mathematics can't deceive people. Since mathematics can't calculate, the Mohist school is still a broom star.

"Mojia Zi, what else do you have to say!" Ma Jiayun pressed step by step and was sure to kill Mojia Zi.

Merton said with a speechless face, "the calendar of the Tang Dynasty is too inaccurate!"

"The calendar is not allowed. Don't shirk your responsibility. The broom star is a warning from heaven. How can it be speculated by human beings." Yu Zhining fell down the well.

"Is the calendar of the Tang Dynasty accurate? I'm afraid this is the biggest joke Mo heard." Merton snorted coldly.

"Don't change the topic! We're talking about the broom star." even Xu Jingzong, who has always been famous for flattering, felt that it must be difficult for the Mohist to turn over and stepped on the Mohist.

Merton looked at Xu Jingzong coldly and said proudly, "the inaccurate calendar mentioned in this sacrifice is the culprit who can't calculate the law of broom star."

"It's impossible. The calendar has been handed down from generation to generation. After several generations of reform, how can it be denied by your MOH family." Ma Jiayun retorted.

This time, even the officials of the Manchu Dynasty shook their heads and thought that the Mo family was poor and reckless.

Merton said coldly, "in that case, Mo asked you the simplest question, how many months and days are there in a year."

"How many days are there in a year?" the Manchu officials immediately looked at the mojiazi with silly eyes. I'm afraid many young children who have just started school know this problem.

"There are twelve months in a year, of course 360 days!" Ma Jiayun blurted out.

"No, there are leap months!"

When Ma Jiayun finished, he immediately frowned when he saw the expression of all officials and thought of the leap month. If it was the usual year, it would be 360 days naturally. If there was a leap month, it would be 390 days. The difference would be great.

"Your question is a fallacy. There are leap months in the year and the 29th of the twelfth lunar month as the 30th during the new year. There is no accurate number of days in a year," Yu Zhining brushed his sleeve.

"Of course, there are fixed days in a year. A year represents the reincarnation of the four seasons. It is a reincarnation of the sun. On the winter solstice every year, the shadow of the sun is the longest, and on the summer solstice every year, the shadow of the sun is the shortest. This is a reincarnation. It is so invariable every year. I don't know whether Taoist Li thinks what Mo said is right or not." Merton turned to Li Chunfeng and asked.

Li Chunfeng nodded and said, "yes, whether it is a leap month or not, the interval between the winter solstice and the summer solstice remains the same, even if it is a leap month, it will be adjusted."

The officials suddenly looked pale. Li Chunfeng was an expert in the calendar. Since he admitted that the time between the winter solstice and the summer solstice was fixed, wouldn't he say that the time of a year was fixed, and there was a deviation in the calendar currently used in the Tang Dynasty.

"Brother Zu, please calculate how many days there are in a year." Merton smiled knowingly.

Zu Mingjun's heart moved, and his mental arithmetic began to work. Combined with the number of days and years he had experienced over the years, he quickly blurted out: "the time of a year is 365 and a quarter days."
