Chapter 716 Yu Fan Enlightened
Seeing these familiar names, Liu Xie was puzzled.

These people left Xiangyang, why didn't they come to Chang'an?It is understandable to go to Hedong. Why do some people prefer to go to Shangdang?
One or two can still be said to be personal friendship, so many, it cannot be explained by personal friendship.

Liu Xie had a headache again.

He reckoned that there must not be one or two similar incidents, nor is it just today.If it wasn't for his whim, he would have been kept in the dark if he wanted to find out where Shisun Rui's son Shisun Meng was.

Even if he is diligent, he will read every official document, and he will not read every list.

And there are many people, even if the names are in front of him, he may not know who he is related to and what kind of background he has.

It's too easy for the minister to fool him.

The key is that this is still in line with the rules, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong don't think there is anything wrong.

Officials at all levels have different powers of removal, which is the system of the imperial court.If this system is to be moved, it is the interests of all officials that are to be moved.

Now is not the time, Liu Xie warned himself again.

We must pay close attention to the reconstruction of Taixue, and we must firmly grasp it in our own hands.

At this time, he thought of another explanation of "governing a big country is like cooking a small fish".

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong looked at each other, wondering what Liu Xie was thinking, why his face was cloudy, and there was a murderous look in his eyes.

After waiting for a while, Liu Xie withdrew his thoughts. Looking at the expressions of the two, he also knew that he had lost his composure just now. He didn't know what misunderstanding would be left, so he had to find something to make up for.

"Do you all know these people?"

"I know, just a few scholars of literature." Pang Tong said with disdain.

Although Zhuge Liang didn't express his attitude, his expression showed his agreement.

Liu Xie didn't say anything more.

In a sense, these people are indeed scholars of literature, not political talents.Whether you come to Chang'an or not doesn't really matter.

At most, it's just that the court doesn't look good.

But from another point of view, it is not necessarily a bad thing if such a person does not come to Chang'an.Their ability to help is not great, but their ability to cause trouble is not small.All of them have nothing serious to do all day long, playing with words and ink, either flattering each other or criticizing the government.

With the current resistance to Dutian from the government and the public, can he still count on Wang Can to write poems to praise his virtues?
If you don't come, don't come, anyway, it's all meat, either rotten in the pot or in the bowl.

Liu Xie resentfully put down the document and put it aside.

-

Yu Fan opened his eyes, looked at the window that was brightly illuminated by the sun, recalled the conversation with the emperor yesterday, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It's hard to find a bosom friend.

After living for more than forty years, it was the first time that I was so happy.

Sure enough, it is interesting to talk about the Tao with people who are close to the realm, and it is a waste of time and saliva to talk to those vulgar people.

Yu turned his head and saw the paper on the bedside, the smile on his mouth subconsciously faded.

He hasn't solved the problem that the emperor left him.

Odd changes and even remains unchanged, and the symbol looks at the quadrant. What does it mean?
The emperor said that this is the content of Yi Xue, but he is familiar with all Yi Xue, but he has never heard of this formula.

Could it be Zheng Xuan's new research?
With this thought, Yu Fan shook his head, rejecting this possibility.

Zheng Xuan's theory is easy to focus on annotations and light on volatilities. Even if there are elaborations, they are mostly on the principle. The understanding of the number of objects is not beyond the scope of his understanding, so it is impossible to come up with such formulas.

Yu Fan turned over and sat up, spread the paper in front of him, and looked at it carefully.

He asked for a pen and paper again, and drew the sixty-four hexagrams beside him, trying to distribute the sixty-four hexagrams into the four images separated by two straight lines.

Tai Chi gives birth to two rituals, two rituals give birth to four images, and four images give birth to gossip.

The horizontal line means that Taiji produces Liangyi, and the vertical line means that Liangyi produces four phenomena. This should be the quadrant that the emperor said.Between the four images and the commonly used sixty-four hexagrams, there is still a process in which the four images produce eight trigrams and the eight trigrams are formed. This formula may be related to this.

Yu Fan moved his brush like flying, and he filled the paper in a short while.He simply stood up, holding the inkstone box in one hand and a pen in the other, and began to draw on the wall.

Soon, a wall was completely covered by him, but he still couldn't get the desired result.He turned around, went to the other side, and wrote in a hurry.

Before you know it, the sun is already westward.

Yu Fan still got nothing.

Looking at the hexagrams all over the wall, Yu Fan fell into deep thought.

He had a feeling that he might be going in the wrong direction.

When discussing with the emperor, he noticed one thing.The emperor is not familiar with the meaning of "Yi" and is not very interested in hexagram changes. What he values ​​is the relationship between images and numbers, and the emphasis is on numbers.

In contrast, the average person's focus is on the elephant.

What exactly is the number that the Son of Heaven said?
Curiosity is like a kitten's paw, constantly scratching in Yu Fan's heart, making him forget about tea, food, and hungry stomach rumbling.

His thoughts were interrupted when someone knocked on the door.

"Who?" Yu Fan said angrily, his voice was loud.

The person outside the door was startled, and then said: "Sir, it's me, Zhuge Liang. Lang Guan said that you haven't gone out, and you haven't eaten. Let me see if you are in good health."

Yu Fan opened the door and looked at Zhuge Liang's concerned face, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine, I just forgot."

Standing outside the door, Zhuge Liang glanced at the wall covered with hexagram images, and couldn't help laughing. "It turns out that the master is studying Yi Xue, and he really forgot to sleep and eat. But these problems can't be studied in a day, so let's eat first."

"Okay." Yu Fan agreed, and he was indeed hungry.

Zhuge Liang arranged for people to bring food and wine, and Yu Fan ate them heartily.Zhuge Liang took this opportunity to look at the hexagrams on the wall, and said to Yu Fan, "Sir, forgive me, I'm afraid you're going in the wrong direction."

"Why do you see that?" Yu Fan was both excited and unwilling.

Even though Zhuge Liang is a rare genius and has been with the emperor for a period of time, if Zhuge Liang solves a problem that he can't solve, he will still feel a little lost.

"The way is simple, it shouldn't be so complicated." Zhuge Liang withdrew his gaze and sat down in front of Yu Fan. "Also, it is easy to have the image of heaven and earth. The sky is round and the earth is round. In your hexagram, there is only square, not circle."

"Why isn't there a circle?" Yu Fan pointed at the circle made up of hexagrams with chopsticks.

"It's just arranging the sixty-four hexagrams in a circle. What does it correspond to? The eight trigrams correspond to the earth. It can't be said that arranging them in a circle can correspond to the sky."

Yu Fan didn't take it seriously, and buried himself in his meal.

Zhuge Liang's Yixue attainments are limited, not enough to shake his ideas.

For a long time, Yi Xue has expressed the world in this way, and what other tricks can he conjure up.

Seeing Yu Fan's expression, Zhuge Liang also felt bored, a bit self-defeating, and didn't say any more.After Yu Fan finished eating and agreed to go to court tomorrow, Zhuge Liang got up and left.

Before going out, Zhuge Liang thought of one more thing.

"Stones from other mountains can be used to drill jade. There are many examples of the combination of elephants and numbers in the mathematics of the Western Regions bestowed by the emperor. You can refer to it, maybe it will inspire you."
