A lengthy imperial edict was opened by two small yellow doors. Feng Bao shook his fly whisk and secretly rejoiced that His Majesty had a sentence to read, otherwise he would not even know how to sentence the edict. He raised his voice and said loudly: "The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, and the edict says:"
"Heaven, earth, people, and all things are constantly changing."
"At the time of mourning, I and you will die together. Shang Tang attacked Xia Jie, and all the princes were subdued. Tang Nai practiced the throne of emperor and pacified the sea. In order to move his shrine, Beichen moved from Ziwei right wall to one right pivot and Ziwei right wall to two lieutenants. , No, make a summer club."
"The king of Shang Dynasty was in chaos and tyranny. King Wen received this great order, but King Wu only ruled the Jiazi Dynasty. Sui Ding, Kehun Su had Shang, so the court reported to heaven, saying: I will live in China, and I will be the people of the country, and Beichen will be the king. The second lieutenant of Ziwei Youyuan moved the two emperor stars of the North Pole, and the poem said: Although Zhou is an old state, its destiny is renewed."
"The Three Kingdoms have exhausted their heroic spirit, and the two Jin Dynasties are full of rats. The Chu and the Chu have merged, and the five poisons are on the way. The three horses are in the same position, and the ambition of the wolf is known to all passers-by. They forced Cao Wei to give in but had no way to defend the world. The world has been exhausted and withered for four hundred years. Beichen moved from the two emperors of the North Pole to the Five Heavens Pivot of the North Pole, and then the Tang and Song Dynasties began, and everything was renewed."
"I only hold the golden sword to hold back the falling sun, the southern crown is helpless and the north wind blows, Hu Yuan takes over, the Chinese land sinks, the road of corpses, the lives are ruined, the blood is thousands of miles, how many wronged souls sigh, Beichen moves from the North Pole to Gouchenyi, fortunately the ancestors opened it , the barbarians will exterminate the world and come back again."
"The North Star moves, the world changes, the stars move, infinite things change. Sir, watching the moon, wind, tree shadows, he understands the way of infinite changes in all things, contradictions one after another explain all the principles, it is true."
"The Master said: To govern with virtue is like Beichen, who lives in his place and is supported by stars."
"Beichen is called the North Pole, surrounded by stars. Why does Beichen change so much? I know the changes but don't know why they change. I'm like looking at a leopard through a tube. I know there is a heart but don't know the nature. I still know two or five, but I don't know ten."
"Now I have a rare treasure, which I will give to you sir in hopes that it will clear up my doubts."
"Appreciate this."
After Feng Bao finished reading this long section of the imperial edict, he gave the adjusted sextant to Zhang Juzheng, and then stood with his hands hanging, waiting for the little emperor to have a duel with Zhang Juzheng. As for what the emperor said, Feng Bao said that it was so complicated. It’s better to let Yuansuke take the headache!
What is the infinite way of change of all things, what is the successive explanation of contradictions, what is Beichen, what is North Pole, what is Youshu, Second Lieutenant, North Pole Two Emperor Stars, North Pole Five Tianshu, and Gou Chen Yi.
don't know! I have no idea what those things are!
Zhu Yijun said: "Sir, I am confused."
"Your Majesty, I am also confused..." Zhang Juzheng was a little confused. He looked at the imperial edict in his hand, and then at the increasingly heroic demeanor of the little emperor. He considered for the first time, whether it would be better to retire? He can still live for a few more years. Anyway, the little emperor can take care of things, so he can just return the power to the emperor.
If he continues like this, he is afraid that before he is exhausted by the affairs of the world, he will be directly questioned by the little emperor and become stupid!
What is this?
Of course he could understand every word in the imperial edict. Taken together, he could understand most of them. But there were some parts that he didn't understand, and he didn't even understand the questions. How could he explain the little emperor's confusion?
Your Majesty is not doing his job properly. Where did he learn the art of stargazing to show off?
Zhu Yijun was stunned and asked: "Sir, aren't you no longer confused? Why are you still confused?"
Why are you still confused? As the culprit, His Majesty the Emperor, shouldn't he know it best? When Zhang Juzheng knew astronomy from above and geography from below, he knew it five hundred years ago and five hundred years later. Was he a saint who knew everything from ancient to modern times? Ask any questions!
Ask about taking self-study classes in the future!
"Can I ask Qin Tian Jian Cheng for a question?" Zhang Juzheng decided to ask for help outside the court. It is not a shame to not understand. If you don't know how to pretend to understand and forcefully explain, that is deceiving the emperor.
Zhu Yijun said in surprise: "Is there anything in the world that you don't know? Do you still need Qin Tian Jiancheng to come over? Tishuai, go to Xuan Lai."
Feng Bao said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Ti Commander Zhao Mengyou has received the news that his mother died of illness and asked for orders to return to his hometown. Ding You did not come to the palace today to listen to his orders. Thousands of households are waiting to be punished."
"I knew about this yesterday, didn't I issue an edict to seize love?" Zhu Yijun knew this news, and also issued an edict to seize love. Then he thought, even if seize love comes back, he still has to go back and take a look. The soldiers will cry at the funeral, Zhou Li Still have to comply. Three months at least.
Zhu Yijun is a typical example of a man who shines brightly when given a little sunshine, and rubs his nose in his face. The courtiers don't object to Liang Menglong seizing love and getting back, right? It's just Sun Jifei who jumps out, right? Now it's Tishuai Zhao Mengyu who seizes love!
What does it mean to show off one's face? If the minister takes one step back, Zhu Yijun will take three steps forward. It's not just civil servants who can play tricks like this. Is the skill of being a little emperor in vain?
The little emperor's tutor was Zhang Juzheng, who was always pushing the limits.
Zhang Juzheng was shocked. It was just as he thought. Every step taken by the little emperor was not unnecessary.
"Then Zhang Daban, please take a trip." Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Hong and said.
Zhang Hong immediately went to Qin Tian Jian and brought Qin Tian Jian Cheng, Prime Minister Zhou, to the side hall of the Cultural Hall. Zhang Juzheng and Qin Tian Jian Cheng struggled for an hour, and after translating for each other, they finally understood the emperor's words.
Prime Minister Zhou, the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, didn't quite understand what the emperor said. Zhang Juzheng needed to figure out what those stars were!
The North Pole is not simply the pole of the earth, but the North Pole of the Earth's axis and the North Celestial Pole corresponding to the Earth's axis. The stars in the sky rotate around the North Celestial Pole.
Beichen does not specifically refer to a star in the sky, but to the star located away from the North Celestial Pole.
The star at the north celestial pole is Beichen.
Zhang Juzheng knew the specific definition of Beichen, but he didn't know that this thing would change, and it has been changing since records began. At the beginning, Beichen was Tianyi, and later Taiyi, which is now the Tianjian of the Ming Dynasty. The star marked on the star chart is Ziwei Youyuan Yishu star.
The days are mourning, and you will die together. After the summer of the Shang Dynasty, the star closest to the north celestial pole became the Ziwei Youyuan Second Lieutenant Star.
Although Zhou was an old state, its destiny was restored. After King Wu conquered Zhou, the star closest to the North Pole became North Pole II, which was the Emperor Star.
During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the world was in chaos, and the star at the North Pole changed from the Two Emperor Star of the North Pole to the Five North Pole Tianshu Star (not the Beidou Tianshu Star).
But when the Hulu went south and the Southern Song Dynasty perished, the star at the North Pole changed from Pole Five to Gouchen One.
The reason why it changes is because of precession.
Zhang Juzheng returned to the main hall, held his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it's because of the precession that Beichen has changed."
"Because of the precession of the equinox." Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked, as if suddenly enlightened, "Then what is the precession of the equinox?"
Zhang Juzheng thought about it and said: "The year is itself the year, and the sky is the sky. The year of the earth is different from the year of the sky. The difference between the year of the sky and the year of the earth is the precession. This is very complicated, and it is very troublesome to explain. Prime Minister Zhou, the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, talked to me for a long time, and I finally understood a little bit. Do you want to listen, Your Majesty?"
"Listen, the road is long and long, and I will search up and down." Zhu Yijun said with certainty.
Zhang Juzheng thought about it for a long time. This was not his area of expertise. As a child prodigy, he was well-known, but he could still answer some of His Majesty's questions.
He held his hands and said: "The earth year is easy to understand. It is a year on the ground, which goes through spring, summer, autumn and winter, and starts again and again. To put it simply, it is the summer solstice after the summer solstice, and the winter solstice after the winter solstice."
Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and said, "Just like my birthday, year after year."
Zhang Juzheng continued: "The celestial year is only used by astronomy students. What ordinary people don't know is that the celestial year of an astronomical star is the time when the sun sets off from a certain star on the ecliptic and returns to that star. It is the celestial year. Your Majesty, Ordinary people don’t use this, so it’s hard to understand.”
Zhu Yijun waved his little hand and said, "It's easy to understand. Isn't it just relative change? Didn't Sir talk about contradictions, yin and yang, and heaven and earth? I studied it very seriously!"
"The earth year is the change of the sun relative to the earth for one day, and the sky year is the sun's change relative to the stars in the sky for one day."
Of course Zhu Yijun understood. If he didn't understand, he wouldn't have measured Gou Chen Yi's angle relative to the earth's horizontal plane.
After spending so much effort on magnifying objects, using levels, and rotating differential drums, if he couldn't even understand a relative motion, then why should he be precise? Just like Hong Maofan, just build two wooden sticks and roughly measure the angle of the North Pole to 40°. Isn't that enough?
That is arrogance but not perseverance, no different from the Confucian scholars he scolded every day. The Master also said: Know it from birth, know it from learning, or know it from difficulty. What you know by birth, what you learn, and what you know when you are confused are all cognitive process.
Zhang Juzheng has been taking the class for almost two years. The paradox is Zhang Juzheng's work on enlightenment. As a disciple, he can't even understand this, so he takes the class in vain.
A smile appeared on Zhang Juzheng's face and quickly melted away, and then the smile solidified. Two dark clouds shrouded the Ming Dynasty, one was that the emperor was not doing his job properly, and the other was that the emperor was very good at studying.
For the first time in so many years, Zhang Juzheng was troubled by a student who was too smart.
Zhang Juzheng then continued: "The earth year is short and the sky is long, which results in precession. Precession causes a phenomenon where stars move eastward, solar terms move westward, and the ecliptic does not change, then stars move eastward; if stars If it doesn’t change, the ecliptic will move westward.”
"Shang Shu said: The sun is short and the star Pleiades is in the middle of winter. In Yao's time, the day with the shortest sun was the winter solstice. The Pleiades star official in the sky, which symbolizes the winter solstice, would appear in the middle of the sky to tell everyone that the winter solstice is coming and the weather The coldest thing.”
"During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the star official Yu Xi searched through ancient books and found that the stars of the winter solstice were also changing. They were Weisu Xingguan, Lousu Xingguan, and Kuisu Xingguan. This suddenly confused Yu Xi. He knew it after being sleepy. Yu Xi It took several years to determine that the star official of the winter solstice was Bi Su."
"For more than 2,700 years, from Pleiades to Bisu, if the celestial sphere is divided into 360 degrees, the solar terms will move westwards by more than fifty degrees in total, so Yu Xi is sure that the solar terms will move westward. The precession value is one degree westward in more than forty years.”
Zhang Juzheng could understand, but he didn't know if the little emperor could understand.
"I understand. Before Yu Xi, no one discovered that the sun did not return to its original position on the celestial sphere after one year. Yu Xi discovered this phenomenon and determined that stars would move eastward on the celestial sphere for more than 40 years. At one time, the star officer who came out to tell the solar terms moved eastward for a moment, and as he moved, he changed the star officer to tell the solar terms. Is that so?" Zhu Yijun carefully understood Zhang Juzheng's words and answered with questions.
The ancients always regarded the stars in the sky as gods who serve as officials in the sky. The star officials who reported the solar terms were constantly changing, which made Yu Xi confused. Then he thought about and observed it, and finally got the concept of precession. To the east, the solar terms move to the west, moving one degree over forty years.
It is impossible to trouble the little emperor at all.
Zhang Juzheng said sincerely: "Your Majesty is wise and wise."
It took Qin Tian Jian Cheng a long time to explain the matter thoroughly, including gestures and explanations. It was also thanks to the fact that Zhang Juzheng was given a telescope by the emperor and often looked up at the stars. Otherwise, what Qin Tian Jian said would not be clear. He couldn't understand either.
Zhu Yijun said with a puzzled face: "Sir, I am confused."
Zhang Juzheng immediately felt that the little emperor had changed from a sunny and cheerful owner to an indescribable monster. Where did he come from so many doubts? If you have doubts, he will also be confused.
"Your Majesty, if you know something, you know it. If you don't know it, you don't know it. I don't do stargazing, so I can't answer your majesty's questions." Zhang Juzheng said righteously that he couldn't!
He only knows this little content, and he still learns and sells it now. Don't ask anymore.
Zhu Yijun said with regret: "Sir, knowing something when you are in trouble is the principle taught to me by your teacher. When you have doubts, you must solve them in order to gain newer knowledge; your teacher also said that contradictions can explain all principles one after another, and knowledge and action can be unified." , Knowledge and action can only lead to conscience; the teacher also said that great perseverance makes a scholar, and those who are not ambitious and courageous are cowards; the teacher always said that one should practice one's own actions and teach by words and deeds. I don't understand, since you are the emperor's teacher, why don't you clear up my doubts? "
"Sir, you are not even afraid of the powerful men in the world, so why would you be afraid of a little confusion?"
"Sir? Sir?"
Zhang Juzheng is really numb, it's all the truth he said. Now the little emperor uses the truth he said as gunpowder and lead, and hits him Zhang Juzheng!
Zhang Juzheng was really hit by the boomerang and was a little dizzy. He bowed his head and said, "I'm here."
Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng's answer before continuing: "Sir, in May of the previous year, the late Emperor Long Yu Shangbinzhao entered the Qianqing Palace and entrusted the world, the country and me to you. He was the emperor's teacher and worked tirelessly. He also said: This is This is why I repay the late emperor and am loyal to His Majesty's duty. How can you, sir, bear to see me confused and not clear up my confusion?"
"I am Deliang Youchong, how could your husband have the heart to abandon me? Is it because I didn't study seriously and angered you?"
"I will definitely study hard."
Shouldn’t I regret it? Shouldn’t I regret it?
Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said, "I will help your majesty clear up your doubts."
Zhu Yijun immediately said: "Then precession, why does it happen? Why is the year of the sky longer than the year of the earth? This is very strange, and it has been more than forty years to go by one degree in more than forty years? The relative position of the sun on the celestial sphere, so If you go around, will you go back again?"
"Your Majesty, please allow me to think slowly." Zhang Juzheng was silent for a long time before he said, "I can only answer one of the questions. The other ministers have to slowly find the answers."
"Precession means that the relative position of the sun in the celestial palace will move one degree eastward for more than 40 years. This is not accurate. How many years between Yao and the Eastern Jin Dynasty cannot be verified because there have been many changes in the calendar in the past dynasties, so Yu Xi also made a rough estimate , more than forty years is an imaginary number."
"Zu Chongzhi calculated it to be fifty years in the Daming Calendar. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Li Chunfeng wrote astronomy and calendars and did not accept precession. There were many discussions and arguments for more than a hundred years, and finally it was determined that there was indeed precession."
"In the Yuan Dynasty, Guo Shoujing calculated in the "Scheduling Calendar" that the precession of the equinox was sixty-six years and eight months."
Zhu Yijun heard this and said with a smile: "It's getting more and more accurate. How about our Ming Dynasty, how many calculations are there?"
"Da Ming...no calculations." Zhang Juzheng said helplessly, as if he was choked. Ming Dynasty's performance in the matter of precession was zero, and Zhang Juzheng was helpless in this matter.
Zhu Yijun frowned and asked, "What does Wushu mean?"
Zhang Juzheng let out a sigh of relief. Although he didn't want to admit it, he still planned to explain the matter clearly: "No calculation, just no calculation."
"The laws of later generations are always better than the ancient ones, and have been revised repeatedly to make them more secret, but the calendar is the most significant. From the Yellow Emperor to the Qin Dynasty, there were six changes in Lifan; from the Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, there were four changes; from the Wei to the Sui Dynasty, there were fifteen changes; from the Tang to the Five Dynasties, there were fifteen changes. There were seventeen changes in the Song Dynasty; there were five changes in the Jin Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty. However, the "Datong Calendar" written by Emperor Ming of the Ming Dynasty actually implemented the old calendar of the "Shishi" written by Hu Yuan Dynasty. It has been used for more than 200 years and has not changed the constitution."
"What?" Zhu Yijun asked again.
Zhang Juzheng kept silent and said nothing. He knew the answer, but he really couldn't say it. That was not a question that ministers should talk about.
Zhu Yijun actually knew the answer. Zhang Juzheng was always so cautious. This was an area that a courtier could not touch. He smiled and said: "The Tao Te Ching says: Big sounds are like sounds, elephants are like shapes."
"The sir's silence is thunderous and deafening."
Big sounds are like sounds, elephants are like shapes. The loudest sound is often inaudible, and the loudest way is often invisible.
Zhang Juzheng's silence was so deafening.
Zhang Juzheng dared to criticize the late emperor because the late emperor asked him to take care of the young emperor. Because the late emperor was also Zhang Juzheng's monarch, he blamed Chen Shan for being respectful. Zhang Juzheng wanted to take good care of the young emperor. The old abuses in the past needed to be eliminated, so he could speak and speak well.
But Zhang Juzheng cannot say that Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, is wrong. It means that Zhang Juzheng is going to make big news. That is questioning the legal principles of the Ming Dynasty, and that is the only way to do it.
Zhang Juzheng didn't want to overstep his bounds, so he said nothing.
The reason why the Ming Dynasty did not change the etiquette is very simple. The ancestors established the law, respected the heaven and the ancestors, and the Datong calendar was in line, regardless of the actual growth and decline of the years. The Datong calendar is eternal and long-lasting.
In fact, since the Yongle period, some people have reported that the Datong calendar is inaccurate and please change the calendar.
When it came to Emperor Jingtai, Emperor Jingtai made a decision that went against his ancestors and changed the time of the winter and summer solstice, which directly caused the eunuch Xu Dun to almost beheaded. Emperor Jingtai came to the throne after Ming Yingzong was captured, and he had strong public opinion in the court. Intensified, Emperor Jingtai could not compete with the courtiers, so he had to issue an edict. From then on, the Hong and Yong old systems were still used for calendar creation.
Tong Xuan in the 10th year of Chenghua, Yu Zhengji in the 17th year, and Zhang Sheng, an astronomy student in the 19th year; Zhu Yu, a doctor of engraving in the 13th year of Zhengde, Zheng Shanfu, a foreign minister of the Ministry of Rites in the 15th year, and Nanjing Hu Ke in the 16th year. In the second year of Jiajing, Hua Xiang was in charge of the Ministry of Industry. In the third year of Longqing, he was in charge of the Supervisory Committee and the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture.
So many astronomy students are requesting to change the calendar one after another. Although crazy people like Yu Zhengji and Leng Shouzhong are making random plans, others have evidence, but after going around and around, they are all stuck on one problem in the end, the relationship between ancestors. Law is immutable.
Zhu Yijun took a deep breath and said: "A drop of water can penetrate a stone. Even if the number is very small, it will show up after a long time. This is the principle that quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes as the teacher said. If there is a difference of nine quarters in one day, it is midnight, and the mistakes will be made one day later." "If the solar terms are different by one day, the leap will be wrong by one month; if the leap is wrong by one month, the time will be wrong by one season; if the time is wrong by one season, the year will be wrong by one year."
"Sir, the Ming Dynasty has remained unchanged for 208 years. Today, Mr. Xi made a reform and everything has been renewed. Why not revise the calendar?"
"I know this is extremely difficult."
"I have heard from farmers that a year's plan starts with spring. If you miss one day of spring plowing, you will miss the whole year. A year's harvest depends on autumn. If you miss one day of autumn harvest, the whole family will be hungry. The people will be trapped in tax, grain rent, and rural private property. I beg you, the suffering is unspeakable. I am not afraid of the power of heaven when there are eclipses of the moon and the sun, but the farming season is not accurate and the world is tired. How can I bear it?"
"This is an extraordinary feat, and it should be an extraordinary thing. How do you think it can be done, sir?"
Zhang Juzheng's right hand unconsciously tapped the thumb in his fist twice. Zhu Yijun immediately knew that Zhang Juzheng's action showed hesitation, because he had something in mind and didn't know whether he should say it or not.
Zhang Juzheng has thought about this problem!
Obviously Zhang Juzheng had thoughts on this matter, but he never mentioned it because he had more important things to do.
"Sir, what do you care about?" Zhu Yijun asked strangely, what kind of warrior Zhang Juzheng is so hesitant?
Zhang Juzheng said hesitantly: "It's not that I have any hesitation. I have always paid attention to this matter. The people are the foundation of the country, and the country is peaceful. The people of the Ming Dynasty are trapped in annexation. I sincerely know their suffering. Your Majesty is personally engaged in farming and mulberry. The blessings of the country, the ministers who assist Bi should be loyal and try their best to share your majesty's worries. The world's calendar has not been changed, and I am extremely anxious and has no good solution. If I am not good at this, I will not be able to help your majesty."
"I do know one person, but this person's status is a bit special."
Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "If the prisoner on death row has contributed to the world, you can still forgive him a little or two. Sir, I will follow the officials again, and I will also follow the officials again. If there are any mistakes, they will not be inferior to them. You don't like Yinbu Tang, but I like his good fighting skills." Anyone, please recommend me."
When it comes to re-employing Xun officials, Zhang Juzheng is not as good as Zhu Yijun. Zhang Juzheng also depends on the process. The little emperor is almost a representative of the results theory. It doesn't matter whether you are heroes or bandits. If you can do things, you are a loyal minister. If you can't do things, just go home. Selling sweet potatoes.
Zhang Juzheng then bowed his head and said: "This person is a clan relative, Zhu Zaiyu, the eldest son of Prince Zheng of the Zheng Palace."
"What's wrong? Prince Duanqing, I have always heard of him as a virtuous man. He always accompanied him when he came to the capital to teach me astronomy to show his close friendship." Zhu Yijun really knew that Zhu Zaiyu was a great scientist and musician.
Isn’t etiquette used just at this time?
Some time ago, Hou Yu Zhao Shangzhuo belittled the clan as useless and left everyone from the prince to the prince to fend for themselves. Zhu Yijun directly sealed it with a wave of his hand. However, an opposing wind and public opinion was brewing in the court, and it was getting stronger. Many ministers wrote a series of memorials, saying that they were afraid of losing their close friendship.
Just in time, Prince Zheng's palace brought the Qing Dynasty prince Zhu Zaiyu to the capital. Who dares to say that there is no close friendship?
Zhu Yijun was very good at etiquette.
According to the legend of Prince Zheng's Mansion since the Xuande period, Prince Zheng Zhu Zhanquan was the second son of Emperor Renzong of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Zhanji was called his second brother. Although they are no longer so close, Zhu Yijun has no relatives to speak of, and they are all quite far away. Yes, who is not an imperial edict?
Zhang Juzheng said with some regret: "There is a story here. In the 27th year of Jiajing reign, the father of the Prince of Duanqing, King Zheng, wrote a book of Four Proverbs, admonishing the Master of the Temple not to be infatuated with heretics and to believe in Taoism. The Master of the Temple was furious and reprimanded him. . In the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing, King Zheng was falsely accused, demoted to a commoner, and imprisoned in Fengyang."
"From then on, Zhu Zaiyu, the crown prince of Duanqing Dynasty, built an earthen house outside the gate of Prince Zheng's palace. For nineteen years, Xi Gao lived alone, wearing common clothes and eating vegetables. It was not until the first year of Longqing that his father, Prince Zheng Zhaoxue, returned to Prince Zheng's palace, and Zhu Zaiyu did not return. Gong reunited with his father.”
Zhu Yijun frowned and asked, "Is it true that you have been alone outside the palace for nineteen years without entering the palace?"
When Zhang Juzheng first heard about this, he wanted to ask if it was really the case? Nineteen years of living in a palace without being able to live in it, and living frugally outside?
"In the first year of Longqing, the late emperor sent an envoy to restore Prince Zheng to his title and entered the palace. The entire palace was destroyed and collapsed. Half of Prince Zheng's palace was destroyed like a ghost."
"The late emperor again sent a senior official to talk about the construction of the palace, but King Zheng refused to accept his three-shu speech. The late emperor increased his salary by 400 shi, but King Zheng still did not accept it. The late emperor then gave Zhu Zaiyu a crown and belt, and Zhu Zaiyu had seven chapters. I won't accept the petition." Zhang Juzheng told the story clearly.
Zhu Yijun recalled it very seriously and said: "That's not right. In the records of the Mu Temple built by Mr., didn't Zhu Zaiyu receive the crown of Crown Prince, so sir, didn't he say that he was Crown Prince Duanqing?"
"The composition of the song is unknown." Zhang Juzheng explained: "Zhu Zaiyu was not given the crown as the Crown Prince, but it was given by the late emperor. The crown remained in the palace, which was regarded as a gift to the Crown Prince. However, Zhu Zaiyu never wore it and the ceremony was not completed. "
From the standpoint of the imperial court, the crown of crown prince was indeed awarded to Zhu Zaiyu, which is a gift. However, from the standpoint of Prince Zheng's palace, Zhu Zaiyu has never worn the crown of crown prince, so how can he say he accepted the title of crown prince? Where's the favor?
This is an expression of their respective positions. What Zhang Juzheng means is that the title of Crown Prince is not actually fully awarded.
Zhu Yijun thought about it and asked: "What do Prince Zheng and Crown Prince Duanqing want? What are their demands?"
"Indeed, my grandfather refused to accept good advice, believed in slanderous words, and was deceived by traitors, which made King Zheng feel wronged. But didn't my father restore their princely titles and renovate the palace and increase their salary? They want do what?"
"If it's not too much, you can make up for it."
Nineteen years of grievance, no matter how beautifully Zhu Yijun said it, was also a grievance caused by the old Taoist priest, Emperor Jiajing. It is reasonable for the descendants to give them some compensation. Besides, what happened back then was also the result of their lineage, King Zheng. They were fighting for the throne, so they falsely accused each other.
The old Taoist priests of Jiajing bear the main responsibility, and the Zhengwang family bear the secondary responsibility.
It's difficult for Prince Zheng's house, but it's not difficult for the emperor's house? Jiajing himself almost died twice. If Lu Bing and Zhu Xizhong had not rescued him, he might not have been able to survive the 29th year of Jiajing. Everyone came from the Yan Mansion, and it was difficult for everyone, so they just had to do it.
"Zhu Zaiyu called himself Kuang Sheng, and when the envoy gave him a crown, Zhu Zaiyu once said wildly..." When Zhang Juzheng said this, he finally couldn't go on.
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and replied: "What to say? After nineteen years of resentment, some complaints are normal. Even if you say it, I don't care."
Zhang Juzheng really gritted his teeth before saying: "Zhu Zaiyu said that he only hates that he is a member of the Zhu family. Your Majesty, your majesty is generous. He was pardoned for the first time in his life and his father returned home. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. Naturally, his words were biased and indignant. Human nature."
Zhu Yijun heard this and said: "Sir, are you overjoyed to redefine it?"
"It fits his crazy appearance. It just so happens that he doesn't recognize the crown of Crown Prince, so let him come to the capital. Since he is proficient in the calendar and serves the country, he should obey the king's orders."
This is the fundamental reason why Zhang Juzheng has been hesitant.
Emperor You feels that his words are effective, but your decree has reached Prince Zheng's Mansion. This knot cannot be broken. It is ambiguous whether Prince Zheng's Mansion will listen or not. To give you face, I will call you my great nephew. If I don't give you face, I would rather be buried in the ground. Refuse to obey the edict.
The emperor restored the title of prince and awarded the prince a crown. How did Prince Zheng's palace do it? Common people eat vegetables. Those hypocrites who were eating, drinking and having fun in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were not of character, but Zhu Zaiyu was.
Looking at Zhu Zaiyu's attitude, Zhang Juzheng was afraid that if King Zheng passed away, Zhu Zaiyu would not even want the throne.
If even the clan members could not come to the capital, what kind of blow would it be to the emperor's majesty?
"I'm afraid there is something wrong." Although Zhang Juzheng recommended Zhu Zaiyu, he still preferred not to announce it. Everyone should live in peace and quiet, and no one should embarrass anyone. Just pretend that he is no longer a relative.
Zhu Yijun said calmly: "You can't be poor for more than three generations. A poor family has three generations of extinct heirs. Prince Zheng's palace has been blessed by the emperor for generations, and it has been endless. From Hongwu to the present, there have been eighty-one princes, twenty-two posthumous titles, and ten heirs. Five, excluding six due to sins against the country, there are only twenty-six princes left in the Ming Dynasty, including the little Prince Lu who dug sand in the palace. The king of Liao should have presided over the abolition of the vassal. This number is correct, right? .”
"Nothing wrong." Zhang Juzheng hurriedly bowed his head and said: "The King of Liao's deposing the vassal was a heinous crime. If you don't take revenge on me, it is wrong in the world."
The fact that Zhang Juzheng presided over the dethroning of the King of Liao was really a waste of money, and it is hard to explain why.
It was clearly the King of Liao himself who remained unfazed after Emperor Shizong's visit to the guests. He was impeached by the imperial censor, and finally made a fuss. The late emperor was furious and abolished the vassal. Can Zhang Juzheng have the final say on such a big matter as abolishing the vassal?
Zhu Yijun didn't care much about the King of Liao's abolition of the vassal state. Everyone in the world, including the princes and princes, had to make a living for themselves. The King of Liao had just abolished the vassal state.
Zhu Yijun said quite accurately: "There are tens of thousands of people in our Ming Dynasty, but there are only twenty-six princes. If they, Prince Zheng and Zhu Zaiyu, did not have the title of prince, could cultivate virtues, teach, write books, write, and know astronomy, He knows geography, has learned all kinds of skills, and plays music, plays, sings, and looks up at the stars at home? He said that if you don't live in the Zhu family, then you don't live in the Zhu family? It's just useless. Since it is useful, you should follow the imperial edict."
"I know the meaning of your husband, the friendship between relatives, the five constant principles, and I know the importance. I have said that if you don't care about it, you don't care about it. A gentleman keeps his promises and keeps his word. Isn't it going to make people feel resentful? I have a good method and I will let him Come to the capital willingly."
Zhang Juzheng hesitated a little and looked at the sextant placed aside. To Zhang Juzheng, this thing was just a toy for adults. When Guo Yuanfu just had nothing to do, he just looked at the stars. He didn't have that much energy. Obsessed with looking up at the stars.
But for Zhu Zaiyu who looks up at the stars, the sextant is a treasure that cannot be found anywhere!
Hong Maofan's simple sextant doesn't even have a level. It relies entirely on visual inspection. Can it be compared with the tribute products produced by the Ming Dynasty royal family and praised by the little emperor himself?
If you like astronomy and music, just focus on your weaknesses!
The word "China" first appeared in the imperial edict issued by King Wu of Zhou Dynasty to pacify the world. Let's call it an imperial edict. As expected, it has a long history. I wrote that imperial edict for several hours. I checked the information for this chapter for almost half a month. I found out after writing it that it was broken. It is even harder to understand than those Four Books and Five Classics. It is more difficult for everyone to understand, and it is also difficult for the author to write, but I still have to write it down, but I have to do it with difficulty. Please vote for me. Ouch! ! ! ! ! ! !
