"How should I put it? It is correct to say that it is a school of thought, but science is not just a school of thought. I think science should be more appropriately called a method of understanding the world." Zhang Han replied road.
"Oh? Can you tell me more specifically? This is the first time I've heard of "science"!"
Zhang Han said this, and Li Kedun became even more interested. His crescent-shaped eyes were wide open, showing an eagerness for knowledge.
Zhang Han saw that the other party was interested, and no one in this era was willing to listen to what he had learned in his previous life.
To be honest, it is difficult to change a person's thoughts and values once they are fixed, and the same is true for Zhang Han.
Now it was not easy for someone to be curious about the scientific knowledge he had learned in his previous life. The human habit of being a teacher suddenly drove Zhang Han to start talking non-stop.
"Strictly speaking, science is a means of exploring the world, such as why the earth is round, why the sun always rises in the east and sets in the west. Small things as small as why the grass is green, why the flowers are yellow, etc... ..”
"Science is so great? How come you know everything!" Zhang Han was interrupted by Yelikedun mid-sentence. Then she felt something was wrong and retorted; "Science must be wrong. How can the earth be round? Then people will fall if they stand on it?"
"The earth is round! Otherwise, why would ships on the river coming from far away always see the mast first and then the hull? Why did Li Bai write "If you want to see a thousand miles away, go to a higher level"? It's because you want to If we want to see further on an arc, we must stand higher.”
"Really? I haven't paid attention to it at ordinary times. But when I think about it carefully, it seems to be the case." Yeli Ketun tilted his head and thought for a while, but still agreed with Zhang Han's statement.
"But how can you stay on top of a circle without falling off?"
"That's because of gravity."
"Then what is gravity?"
"It's very simple. When the fruit is ripe, it will fall to the ground. People can only walk on the road, but not fly. It's all because of gravity." After Zhang Han finished speaking, he saw that the other party wanted to ask again, so he quickly interrupted the other party. .
"Let's put the scientific issues aside for now. There will be plenty of time to discuss them later. First, let's talk about why you called me here alone."
After speaking, he pointed to the soldiers who were still confronting each other in the distance and said, "Look, they are still waiting."
"Okay...!" Yelikedun looked a little unfinished, but he quickly adjusted his attitude. replied;
"It's very simple! Because you are the consort chosen by my sister for me, of course I want to get to know you well, so I called you out alone."
"Husband-in-law?" Zhang Han suddenly felt a burst of thunder rolling from the sky, and Ye Li Ke Dun's words made him scorch on the outside and tender on the inside.
Pointing to his nose in disbelief, he asked, "Me? Are you sure?"
Then he hurriedly explained; "Is there a mistake? It's our first time to meet!"
"That's right, I begged my sister to send someone to find a consort for me in Han Dynasty, because my eldest sister Huochen Bieji, like me, has a special appreciation for Han culture since childhood. If General Guo Kan had not already married, he would have Became my eldest sister's consort.
When my father was alive, I was still young, but when I reached the age of marriage, my father passed away..." After saying this, Yeli Ketun's eyes couldn't help but be filled with tears. It seemed that she The relationship with my father was quite good, and the mention of Genghis Khan's death made her very sad.
Zhang Han always hated seeing women cry, especially a little girl, so he quickly comforted her.
Yeli Ketun wiped the tears from his eyes and thanked Zhang Han; "It's funny! It's like this every time. There's nothing I can do about it. I always feel sad when I mention my father..."
"It doesn't matter! Your father was a great man, and I'm sure there are many people besides you who are grieving his passing."
"Well, maybe!" Yelicodun nodded lightly, adjusted his mood and continued;
"After my father passed away, because my mother had also passed away long ago, my marriage was arranged by my fourth sister Tu Manlun.
After the fourth sister learned that I wanted to find a consort from the Han region, the fourth sister told her husband Subotai about my request. And asked him to send people from Han to find me a young man who is brave in battle and good-looking to be my husband.
Some time ago, I heard from my fourth sister that her husband had entrusted this matter to his former subordinate Tian Ze. "
Speaking of this, Yeli Ketun secretly glanced at Zhang Han and his face became shy. ; "Listen... I heard it from Fourth Sister. This year Shi Tianze Wanhu will send the husband he chose for me to the grassland!"
After Yelike Dun finished speaking, Zhang Han finally understood the cause and effect of the matter.
The general meaning is; because she and her eldest sister both like Han culture very much, they both want to find a Han husband. Because it is impossible for a Mongolian princess to find a weak scholar as a consort, so the two of them can only marry each other. Selection in the military.
Her eldest sister Huo Chenbieji is the prototype of the Chinese zheng in Jin Yong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and General Guo Kan is the prototype of Guo Jing. Just like the original work, the two did not get together in the end due to various reasons.
And Yeli Ketun, a Mongolian princess who also likes Chinese culture? After Genghis Khan passed away, he begged his fourth sister, Subotai's wife Tu Manlun, to find him a husband in the Han Dynasty.
The task of finding a husband for her fell to Shi Tianze. As Shi Tianze's subordinate, he happened to come to the Mobei grassland this year, and was mistaken by the Mongolian princess Yeli Ketun as the husband chosen by Shi Tianze for her. .
After figuring out the whole thing, Zhang Han also had a clear idea. Secretly thinking that this must be a misunderstanding, he explained with a smile; "The princess may be..."
Halfway through his words, lightning flashed across his mind. The smile on Zhang Han's face turned stiff instantly.
He suddenly remembered the first time Shi Tianze met him. He stared at him for a long time and then asked him whether he was a match.
At that time, he just thought that the other party saw that he had reached the age of trial marriage, and then asked about it.
Thinking of this incident again at this time, I suddenly felt enlightened. Co-author When Shi Tianze met him for the first time, he was already testing whether he was a suitable candidate for the princess's consort?
No wonder Shi Tianze takes such good care of himself. It turns out that it’s not just his contribution that is needed, but the most important thing is that he is regarded as an indicator for completing the task...
Yeli Kedun saw that Zhang Han stopped mid-sentence and the expression on his face became stiff, thinking that he was worried that he would not be able to make contributions after becoming the consort. explain quickly;
"Don't worry! Our Mongolian customs are different from those of you Han people. You Han people can no longer be officers and soldiers after you become a consort, but we don't have this custom. When we get married, you can't help but continue to be officers and soldiers, and We can also have the people of our common territory.”
"You can actually gain territory by being a consort?" Zhang Han was shocked. He had never said this in the history books he had read before! Zhang Han immediately asked what was going on.
Only after Ye Li Ke Dun's explanation did Zhang Han understand. The so-called territory did not belong to Zhang Han, but to Ye Keke Dun. When Ye Ke Keton was granted the title of Princess of Gaochang, the Mongol Khan assigned hundreds of miles near Gaochang City to Ye Li Ke Dun's name, which was similar to the fiefdom system of Han princesses.
The difference is that in addition to taxation, the imperial court is responsible for other matters such as governing the people, recruiting soldiers, and taxation. The Mongolian princess' fiefdom is different and has complete autonomy. Belongs to completely private property.
Most of the people living in Gaochang are Uighurs. Since the Tang Dynasty, as an important node on the Silk Road, Gaochang once became a dazzling pearl in Hexi. As a typical trading city, its economic value is self-evident. Genghis Khan gave such a fertile place to Yeliktun, which shows his love for his daughter.
Zhang Han thought for a long time, and Yeli Ketun stopped disturbing him. He just sat opposite him with his hands on his knees and quietly waited for his answer.
After a long while, Zhang Han looked at those ruby eyes again and spoke in a very serious tone;
"Even if I am the husband-in-law introduced to you by Shi Tianze, but we have just met for the first time, why..." Before Zhang Han could finish his words, his mouth was covered by green-white fingers.
A trace of tenderness flashed in Ruby's eyes, and she said infatuatedly, "Isn't it enough to meet once?"
Zhang Han was stunned by these words, and his heart seemed to be severely burned. yes! Who says meeting once is not enough?
If life is just like the first time we met, why should the autumn wind draw a fan sadly!
Suddenly I remembered the scene in "Dragon" where Yu meets Mu Wanqing. By some strange coincidence, he reaches out and pulls down the other person's veil.
With an exclamation from Yelikodon!
Zhang Han's eyes immediately widened.
Her eyebrows are as smokey as black, her skin is as white as fat, her lips are as red as fire, and her nose is as turned up as an onion. Coupled with the two rubies embellishment, Zhang Han made a mistake and once again reached out to touch the elastic part of the other person's face. The thick collagen made his fingers very smooth.
"I love it!" Zhang Han murmured involuntarily.
Although the voice was small, it still reached the girl's ears. The girl's ears were turned red by Zhang Han's bold move. Hearing this, he became even more shy and rolled his eyes at Zhang Han charmingly.
Zhang Han, an old bachelor, felt his heart twitching at this moment.
The feeling of falling in love has been long gone!
...
Three months later, the spring breeze caressed the grassland inadvertently, and it was the season of spring flowers blooming.
At this time, the grass in the Mobei grassland had grown to half an inch high, completely dispelling the winter silence near the royal court.
On the plain in the distance, a group of men were hunting hares that had just emerged from their holes.
"Whoosh!" A sharp arrow cut through the air and plunged the running gray rabbit into the soil. The gray rabbit struggled hard and slowly became silent.
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ..." The man who was hunting suddenly let out a burst of joyful cries. The man who had just started shooting indifferently put the hunting bow on his waist and galloped towards his prey.
Not long after, the man came to a round-faced man carrying the gray rabbit that had completely died.
"Well, as expected of me, Battle of Mongolia, my archery skills have become so good in a few months! As expected, he is the husband chosen by my little sister. He is indeed brave and outstanding." The round-faced man laughed and praised, and said to the man beside him The guard ordered;
"Pack away Zhang Hanbaat'er's trophies. Ben Khan will have a drink with Zhang Hanbaat'er later!"
The man who shoots the arrow is our protagonist Zhang Han, and the round-faced man who speaks is the Mongolian Khan Wokuotai.
It is said that Zhang Han and Yelikedun separated briefly after meeting that day. Zhang Han was led by Wu Lianghatai to visit his father, Marshal Subotai. Subotai read Shi Tianze's autographed letter that Zhang Han brought, nodded and arranged for Zhang Han and his party to stay near his tent.
Zhang Han waited for several days but did not see the Great Khan Wokuotai. He caught Wu Liangha, who was on duty, and asked what was going on. He learned that because of the rebellion in North Korea, Wokuotai went to the eastern Or'er Palace to condolences to the soldiers at the front. I won't be able to come back until ten days later.
After understanding the cause of the matter, Zhang Han was no longer in a hurry. Anyway, the letter and Wanyan Chenglin's body were handed over to Subotai. The task had been completed and the reward was waiting for him.
Every day he went to Qionxue's army to train with Ulliang Hatai, and at night he studied military strategies with him in Subotai's study. Zhang Han was very surprised when he first saw Subotai's study room. There were thousands of books in it. I learned from Wu Liangha Tai that these were collected by his father from various places over the years.
Zhang Han couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, the gap between people is sometimes wider than that between people and dogs.
Zhebie and Subotai, the two sharpest knives under Genghis Khan, were able to conquer all directions and conquered not only because of their own talents, but also the diligence behind them was probably far beyond what others imagined.
Zhang Han lived a very fulfilling life during that period, training during the day and studying at night. Sometimes Subotai would cook a small stove for his son, and Zhang Han would also listen shamelessly. During this period, when I asked Subotai for advice on problems I encountered while studying, he was not treated differently. Zhang Han also benefited a lot from his in-depth and simple explanations.
Therefore, whenever he saw Subotai, he would always use the disciple's bow, and Subotai did not refute, which was regarded as acquiescence.
During this period, Li Kedun also found reasons for his sister to visit Zhang Han every now and then, and every time he secretly brought some fine wine and dried fruits to Zhang Han. We also saw her fourth sister Tumanlun Zhanghan. She was a typical Mongolian woman dressed up. She was gentle and generous, making it easy for people to fall in love with her.
Every time Ye Li Ke Dun came, the considerate Tu Man Lun would leave some space for the young couple and leave quietly after saying a few words.
But there are always uninterested people peeking in secretly. This wretched person is his current good friend - Wu Liang Hardai! As a result, Zhang Han was unable to play second base, and his young body was always bursting with hormones. The two were very dissatisfied with Wu Liangha Tai.
Every time he was discovered, this guy was chased around by his "little aunt", but he still refused to repent, which made Zhang Han and Ye Li Ke Dun very angry at that time.
