As soon as these words came out, Taibu stood up.
As the official in charge of divination and celestial phenomena in Da Qin, he had something to say at this moment.
After all, this is what he depends on for a living.
Originally, he should have brought up the idea of Shui De, but Li Si and Wang Wan were not the sons of men and took his job.
So, at this moment, he quickly stood up.
Otherwise, these birdmen, relying on their profound knowledge, will once again flatter the King of Qin.
There is no room for such a loyal minister like him to show off.
"Your Majesty, the Three Dynasties calendar and even the Lu calendar are too long ago. Zhuanxu calendar was established not long ago, so he should be the best choice!"
No one objected to Taifu's words, and they also knew that only the latest Zhuanxu calendar was the most suitable for the Qin Dynasty.
After taking a sip of the old rice wine, Zhao Shu chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate to use Zhuan Xu's calendar for divination!"
Qin Wangzheng's eyes flickered and he did not speak. The Taibu beside him was stunned and couldn't help but turned to Zhao Shu and said, "I wonder what the young master means by this?"
He has no hatred against Zhao Shu!
Moreover, he could not afford to offend Zhao Shu, so he could only choose to inquire in detail.
"Taibu, Xia has a lunar calendar, Shang has a lunar calendar, and Zhou has a weekly calendar. We, the Qin Dynasty, should have a Qin calendar. How can we continue to use Zhuanxu's calendar!"
"I think that the Taidivination Bureau should take the lead and summon the world's capable people, as well as the Yin-Yang and Taoists to Xianyang to re-deduce the celestial phenomena and formulate a calendar!"
"Zhuanxu Li, I have also studied it. Compared with the past, it does have advantages, but it is still not enough!"
Seeing Zhao Shu speak, Qin Wangzheng also nodded. He was a proud and arrogant king, and what Zhao Shu said hit the mark.
At this moment, Taibu was also moved.
He's a bit over the top.
He knew clearly that once the calendar was re-introduced, his divination would naturally be the main one.
As a great fortune-teller for a country, who wouldn’t want to create a calendar and spread it famously throughout the world?
At this thought, Taibu put on a smile on his face and turned to Zhao Shu, saying: "May I ask, Master, which aspect should be paid attention to when the calendar is re-launched?"
"The so-called calendar is a method of calculating time based on celestial phenomena to meet the daily needs of people around the world!"
Zhao Shu looked solemn and turned towards Taifu and said: "Generally, it is derived from the twelve signs of the zodiac, based on the number of heavenly stems and earthly branches!"
"The Japanese book that is now popular all over the world was simplified under this situation and can be used by all people!"
"I have also read Zhuanxu's calendar. The most important thing about the calendar is to guide farmers in farming. This is the key!"
"I once read "Lü Lan" and was very interested in the division of solar terms in it!"
"For example, spring breeze, the beginning of spring, etc.!"
"I believe in perfecting the division of solar terms, integrating them into the calendar, dividing them by the Yellow Meridian, the Beidou Points, and the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches!"
"Thus, the new Qin Li can guide farming!"
"So the calendar is not only used by the court, but also for the convenience of the people!"
Having said this, Zhao Shu turned to Taibu and said, "I'm not good at these things. I think Taibu's office is the best at it!"
"If we recruit the Yin Yang family and the Taoist family, we can completely re-deduce the new calendar as the Qin calendar!"
Zhao Shu knew in his heart that the inclusion of the twenty-four solar terms into the calendar had to be during the Taichu period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The twenty-four solar terms had existed since the Xia Dynasty, but were completely summarized until the Qin and Han Dynasties.
Because of this, Zhao Shu wanted to push forward and make Da Qin's calendar more perfect.
There is no need to continue using Zhuanxu’s calendar!
At this moment, everyone was silent.
They all know that once the calendar is re-introduced, it means that the new moon will be corrected and the beginning of the year will be determined again!
Especially for divination, he was keenly aware that once the calendar was re-introduced and incorporated into the division of solar terms to determine spring, summer, autumn and winter, it would be inappropriate to use October as the beginning of the year.
At this moment, Qin Wangzheng looked at Taibu: "Taibu, are you confident in reintroducing the new calendar?"
After hearing this, Taibu quickly replied, "Your Majesty, I have confidence!"
The opportunity was right in front of him, and he didn't want to miss it.
After all, everyone wants to achieve something in their career.
The court meeting still followed the previous practice, with the major court and the minor court separated.
Naturally, no one discussed it.
"It's already getting late, I'm telling you to have a small banquet in the palace!" Qin Wangzheng ordered the servants, and then said to the ministers: "My dear friends, please have dinner first, and then we can discuss it later!"
"promise!"
After a while, the chamberlain brought a small banquet, and everyone started eating at their desks. Since they were discussing court affairs, there was no dancing girl, and the atmosphere was not lively. Instead, the atmosphere was a bit solemn because neither of them spoke.
After eating a pot of yellow mutton, Zhao Shu drank old yellow rice wine to relieve his tiredness. He knew in his heart that the matter discussed before was actually the simplest.
What is discussed next is the most important thing.
Moreover, it is also the most divisive.
Even this Umrah meeting cannot be decided.
Half an hour later, the waiter tidied up the small cases and then calmly stepped back. At this moment, the swordsman and penman sat upright.
He knew in his heart that the court meeting would continue.
After taking a sip of warm wine, Qin Wangzheng looked at the ministers and said: "We will discuss national discipline next!"
"Your Majesty, nine is the ultimate number!"
Zhou Qingchen from the Doctor's Academy stood up and said: "Your Majesty, you have swept across the Liuhe and unified the Central Plains. You should respect the Nine!"
"This is exactly the same as ninety-five!"
"Nine is the ultimate number, that's right!"
Li Si stood up and faced Qin Wangzheng and said: "However, nine is the extreme of the yang number, and six is the extreme of the yin number. And I, Da Qin, have the virtue of water, and the water nature is yin and flat, so I follow the law to combine it!"
"As the saying goes, the yang pole produces yin, and the yin pole produces yang!"
"Nine is extremely yang, and six is extremely yin. Therefore, nine is yin, and six is yang!"
"Da Qin is the virtue of water, and the water nature is Yin and flat, so it needs to be supplemented by Da Yang!"
"Therefore, I believe that the national discipline should be six!"
........
Zhao Shu couldn't help but smile when he heard Li Si debating with Zhou Qingchen and Chun Yuyue. He knew in his heart that Zhou Qingchen and Chun Yuyue were both talented, and debating was something they were good at.
However, the object of this debate must be differentiated.
Facing Li Si, Zhao Shu didn't think they would win.
Both sides are very reasonable. Now we have to see who can speak better and who can quote more scriptures.
Zhao Shu knew that the concepts of Confucianism and Legalism were very different to a certain extent, not to mention that Zhou Qingchen was still a miscellaneous scholar.
This is tantamount to Confucianism, Legalism, and Zax fighting again.
"Your Majesty, I agree with Chang Shi's words!"
At this moment, Wang Wan stood up. He knew in his heart that if the discussion continued like this, there would be no result: "We, Da Qin, rely on the virtue of water, and the water nature is yin and flat, so it needs to be supplemented by yang!"
"Now the capital of our Great Qin Kingdom is named Xianyang, which itself is the number of the Great Yang!"
"Qin Fa Fenghe is here again!"
"In the Book of Changes, nine is a variable. A country or a dynasty should be considered a fixed number!"
