Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and felt a feeling of admiration from the bottom of his heart. The dynasty had become so corrupt. Just like the chief ministers in previous generations, they could just show off and be worthy of the salary given by the emperor. Why bother?
The Ming Dynasty, which is like mud, must be destroyed.
Sometimes Zhu Yijun felt this way when facing the situation of the DPRK, but Zhang Juzheng always dealt with the affairs of the DPRK and the DPRK very patiently. He had been doing this for more than ten years. The work was so intense and the struggle was so ferocious. I don’t know who Zhang Juzheng was. What have you relied on to support yourself until now?
Of course, most of the time, it was Zhang Juzheng who beat others, and the opponents he beat were unable to fight back. He was clever, tough, and capable of handling them.
The reason why the sea transport faction was defeated by the river transport faction in the court was because the imperial court's canal grain supply was the golden den of moths, big and small. Countless people lay on this artery and drank blood. Zhang Juzheng was against the water transport faction. Reform and transporting grain by sea are only the first step.
If you look closely at Zhang Juzheng's governance, you will find that the word "precision" means that the 3.5 million taels of silver and silk brought into the court were actually an experiment in shipping that Zhang Juzheng presided over, and it was an experiment with full confidence.
Zhang Juzheng, who was so patient, also had infinite patience with Zhang Han. Zhang Han's presence in the government really affected the efficiency too much.
For the sake of efficiency, Zhang Juzheng was able to turn the little emperor's lecture into a self-study class for the imperial court, and then gave a lecture; for the sake of efficiency, he could drive Zhang Han out. This was the last time. Zhang Han said during the court discussion Some bastard words.
The main contradiction in the Ming Dynasty was the contradiction in the means of production between the powerful gentry and the common people. In order to alleviate this contradiction, Zhang Juzheng could not even care about his own posthumous reputation, let alone someone like Zhang Han.
After the emperor listened to the government, there was a banquet. Zhang Juzheng combined his own experience in governing the country to explain the golden mean in detail and thoroughly.
Zhang Juzheng held up his hands and said: "There are nine classics for all countries in the world, so those who practice them are the same."
"The Master said that there are nine permanent principles for a ruler to govern the world. Although these nine things have different effects, there is a major prerequisite for achieving these nine things. The so-called "one who does it" , this premise is true.”
"Therefore, the affairs of the world must first be true and not false, so that they can last forever and not change. If they are true, they can do practical things. If they can be true, everything in the Nine Classics can be accomplished, and the world can be governed. If this is not true, no matter how detailed the name is, or how comprehensive the laws and regulations are, it is just a hypocrisy to whitewash peace, how can it be called the rule of the world?"
Zhu Yijun looked at the notes he had made and said with a slight frown: "But the Doctrine of the Mean in the Hanlin Academy's annotations says that the one who practices it is called benevolence, which means that when talking about the world's affairs, the prerequisite is benevolence."
"It's false." Zhang Juzheng said neither humble nor arrogantly: "At least when talking about the Nine Classics of State Administration, the Master is not talking about benevolence, but truthfulness, because if you practice it, the next sentence is: Everything will be established if you hesitate, and it will be destroyed if you don't hesitate. If you are determined before speaking, you will not be tired. If you are determined before doing it, you will not be sleepy. If you are determined before doing it, you will not feel guilty. If you are determined before walking, you will not be poor."
"Just like something placed on the ground, how can it be established if it is not stabilized? Just like the government, it is crooked from the time it was formulated, how can it last? This is the principle that everything will be established if it is heeded, and it will be destroyed if it is not hesitated. Yu: Suding, put it away, Zhou Zheng."
"If you don't tell the truth when talking to others, you won't be sure, and you will be confused. How to be sure? Just be faithful."
"Before doing things, if there is no truth, it will definitely not work. If a person follows the principle of truth and down-to-earth practice, then his principle will have a source, and it will naturally be inexhaustible. , there is no end.”
"If you are untruthful, your words will lead to failure, your work will lead to hardship, your actions will lead to guilt, and your path will lead to poverty."
Zhang Juzheng is reasonable and does not like to take quotes out of context. Instead, he interprets this sentence in conjunction with the context, rather than singling out certain sentences to quote.
Everything will be established if hesitate, and if he is not hesitant, it will be ruined. The degree of correlation with the word benevolence is not very high, but the degree of correlation with the word "faithfulness" is very high.
Benevolence, Zhang Juzheng has talked about benevolence a lot, but in the end there is no clear answer, but in fact, to sum up, it is that benevolence loves others, you love me, I love you, everyone is sweet.
After all, doing things is like putting things away. They must be put away correctly, otherwise they will not stand up.
You have to ask Master what exactly you mean, but Zhang Juzheng’s meaning is very clear. The one thing that governs the country is truth and speaking with facts.
Zhu Yijun couldn't help but think of the old Taoist priest. According to what Zhang Juzheng said, the old Taoist priest wanted to call Hai Rui up and scold him, but Hai Rui in turn scolded the old Taoist priest. The reason why Hai Rui won was because he scolded the emperor. He was not executed because Hai Rui was faithful and told the truth.
After the palace change in the 21st year of Jiajing, the old Taoist priest started a long-term imperial life. In fact, the old Taoist priest had the ability to cure it, just like he did twenty years before he ascended the throne. Problems were solved when they arose, but the old Taoist priest I chose to mess it up.
Why can Wan Shihe chase Zhang Han and scold him, but Zhang Han can only shrink his head? Because Zhang Han was confusing right and wrong, turning canal grain into the concept of canal transportation, Wan Shihe caught him and gave him a hammer blow.
This is why Wan Shihe can win the argument. The most important things in the world are truth, sincerity, and authenticity. And what some people are most afraid of is truth, sincerity, and authenticity, such as Ke Dao Yan Guan, such as He Xinyin, Zeng The stream of light speaks loudly, such as those who like to make false accusations and blur the boundaries between right and wrong.
Judging from Zhang Juzheng's governance, he only plays with the truth and not with frivolous things. No matter how brilliant he is, once he gets to the truth, if he misses the trap, it will only make people laugh. What kind of country does he still want to go home? You can sell sweet potatoes.
Regarding his mistakes, Zhang Juzheng is as true as ever. For example, when Gao Qiyu did something stupid, Zhang Juzheng immediately admitted his mistake after learning about it. If it is wrong, it is wrong.
Zhu Yijun said with emotion: "Very good, sir, a great talent."
"Sir, I think that the annotations of the Four Books under Heaven are still subject to Mr. Yu Mao's theory that Wang Yangming wanted to worship Confucius Temple, but the seven sects of Wangmen basically have no practice, so there is no truth. It is still Mr.'s annotations. Better."
Zhang Juzheng said helplessly: "Uncle Xin Xin's talent and learning are higher than those of my ministers. Since I am giving a banquet to your majesty, your majesty naturally thinks that my talents and learnings are higher."
The little emperor saw that Zhang Juzheng had tens of thousands of layers of filters, so he naturally felt that Zhang Juzheng's knowledge was also excellent. However, Zhang Juzheng's own knowledge was still not as good as Wang Yangming's. He was just an official.
Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "The standards are just different. What you teach is the knowledge of running a country in the world. I have read Yangming's theory of mind, and I dare not say that all seven sects understand it. However, most of the disciples of the Wang sect have gone astray. Mr. Xin Xin’s reputation has attracted many deceivers.”
"Sir, the world's academic affairs are so corrupt. If you are still unwilling to educate, then now that I have you, sir, who will come after you? Who will I use? Who will come after me? Who will I use in Ming Dynasty? That's it."
Zhang Juzheng actually had little confidence in his teaching ability. His disciple, the little emperor, was also tired of learning before he assassinated the king; Fu Yingzhen directly impeached Zhang Juzheng as the leader; Gao Qiyu created the Yingtianfu Township Examination with "Shun" Also take "Ming Yu" as a reference; look at Li Le again, he eats what others have and takes what others have, but he still doesn't do anything.
"Sir, are you afraid that they won't understand? I can understand it, so they should be able to." Zhu Yijun said with a smile.
"I obey the decree." Zhang Juzheng thought for a while, and it was the same reason. Although his knowledge was not high, the content he talked about was practical knowledge of world governance. The imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty wanted officials, not doctors of Confucian classics.
"Sir, my arithmetic has improved a bit. Come with me, sir." Zhu Yijun stood up and came to the side hall of Wenhua Hall.
The heavy curtain opened, and the not too strong sunlight at noon shone on the title board.
On the question board, there are small squares drawn one by one, as well as two vertical and horizontal axes. On the question board, there is an almost perfect curve. Zhang Juzheng can see this curve at a glance. It is the former emperor. His Majesty is studying how to make the curves drawn by the reflective telescope that can be seen more clearly, without chromatic aberration, and more stable.
Zhu Yijun stood in front of the title board and said quite solemnly: "Sir, he talked about contradictions before, saying that the moon moves with the earth, the moon shines and shadows are created, the trees move with the wind, the leaves move with them, the water moves with the leaves, the lake ripples, and everything in the world exists. Universal connection.”
"I made a reflecting telescope before. When I was studying the production of the reflecting telescope, I was thinking about how to determine the multiple of the reflecting telescope?"
"In Wang Wensu's "Baojian of Mathematics", there is the idea of combining numbers and shapes. There is a universal connection between numbers and shapes. If there is form, there is number, and if there is number, there is also form. Just like a contradiction, it never exists in isolation."
"A number also has its meaning in graphics. For example, 0 usually means nothing. In many cases, it also means starting, starting from zero, so the number has a tangible meaning."
Zhu Yijun took out a standard watch and said with a smile: "Every minute, every second."
The weights and measures of the Ming Dynasty, especially the degrees, are still based on the hundred-cent system instead of the sixty-cent system. One moment above the scale is equal to one hundred points, and one minute is equal to one hundred seconds. This is the combination of numbers and shapes in the astronomy of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yijun drew a straight line with a ruler and said with a smile: "The Book of Changes said: In ancient times, people tied knots to rule, and later generations of saints used Yi to write contracts. For big things, tie the rope big; for small things, tie the rope small, and tie it. How much, it depends on the population."
"So we click a point on a straight line and specify it as zero, and we have a starting point."
"Positive counts as red, negative counts as black, so this straight line has a direction. To the right is positive, and to the left is negative."
"Using one centimeter as the length, start cutting out this straight line, and you will have... -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3... If we need to be more precise, just divide one centimeter into ten millimeters , so heavy.”
Zhu Yijun drew a number axis. The number axis of the Ming Dynasty is very commonly used, such as the celestial sphere, the celestial equator, the yellow-red angle, the calculation of precession, the length of the shadow of the sun, the angle of the north pole and the earth, etc., these are all It is a specific application of the number axis or the combination of numbers and shapes.
The graphical meaning of numbers is points.
Zhang Juzheng can certainly understand that this ordinary line can become a mathematical tool after it has various definitions, because this mathematical tool is used very frequently in degree bypass.
"It seems that we can use this number line to represent all the numbers we know, integers, fractions, and decimals." Zhu Yijun looked at the number line and said: "But I have encountered a new trouble, such as a square with an area of 4 A square with a side length of two can be represented on a number axis with a scale, but if it is a square with an area of 3 and a side length of √3, how can this number be represented on a number axis?"
"Uncle Huang's law of twelve equals has confirmed that √2 and √3 are infinite non-recurring decimals and cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers."
At this point, Zhu Yijun stopped. Zu Chongzhi never thought that pi could be expressed as the ratio of two integers. He accurately calculated that pi was between the zero number and the surplus number.
Also for the convenience of calculation, Zu Chongzhi also gave two approximate values. One is called the approximate rate of 22/7, and the other is called the density rate of 355/113. It was not until the Wanli period that Weida, who played for France, calculated the 355/113. numerical value.
The number line can represent any integer and any recurring decimal, because recurring decimals can be converted into the ratio of any two integers.
But how can an infinite non-repeating decimal be represented on the number line?
"Pythagorean theorem?" Zhang Juzheng thought for a while and asked doubtfully.
"Yes, Pythagorean theorem." Zhu Yijun nodded, and drew a straight line vertically at 0 o'clock, and a rectangular coordinate system appeared on the paper, such as √2, you can use 1 share 1, and its The length of the string is √2, and then use a compass to express it.
Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "I made up a wonderful story for this Cartesian coordinate system, saying that I watched a spider build a web. Can each position of the spider be determined by a set of numbers? Then I looked at the corner of the wall. , any point on the wall seems to be represented by a number pair, so Spider helped me invent the rectangular coordinate system."
"Your Majesty..." Zhang Juzheng was a little helpless. Why does Your Majesty like telling stories so much? Obviously, in order to solve various real-life problems, various mathematical tools were invented to solve them, and a spider heuristic theory must be developed.
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "The angle between the sky and the earth at the North Pole in Shuntian Mansion is 39.98°. We drew the equator across the middle of the globe on the globe. This angle between the sky and the earth at the North Pole can be regarded as a dimension, but what about the longitude?"
"I put the curve of the previous reflecting telescope into this rectangular coordinate system, and found that its longitude and latitude seem to have some magical rules."
"To be more clear, we express longitude and latitude as xy, and I found that the relationship between the value of its vertical axis and the value of the horizontal axis is y=ax."
"Further, does a random straight line also have a mapping relationship? For example, this diagonal straight line, we found that this straight line can be expressed as y=kx, these all pass through the 0 point, then What about upward translation and downward translation? It can be expressed as y=kx+b."
Zhu Yijun enthusiastically explained the definition of mapping in functions. It is actually very simple. Points form lines, and lines form surfaces. Then points can be represented in a coordinate system, and lines can also be represented by an analytical expression.
The mathematical meaning of mapping is to reflect the relationship between numbers, while the geometric meaning of mapping is a collection of points.
Zhang Juzheng can understand it very easily. This is a mathematical tool specially developed by His Majesty in the process of exploring arithmetic. It is clear and clear at a glance.
This is what Zhu Yijun said. They are just mathematical tools. What he did is not meaningless. Arithmetic is the master of all things.
Degree bypass means using numbers to measure all things in the world and then connecting them with each other. Wang Guoguang has been committed to using numbers to describe the Ming Dynasty’s national taxes to make the Ming Dynasty’s taxes clearer. This has extremely profound practical significance. After all, mathematics cannot Will deceive people.
This is similar to the nine classics of the world that Zhang Juzheng has always advocated, and those who practice them must be true.
"Yi said: draw and extend; touch the analogy and lengthen it; all the things in the world can be accomplished." Zhang Juzheng looked at the rectangular coordinate system, using pairs of numbers to express positions and analytical expressions to express the collection of points, and he was quite impressed. .
"Sir." Zhu Yijun put down his topic board, looked at Zhang Juzheng and said: "Yu Shuai's three thousand people don't seem to be enough. Can we add a little more as appropriate? After all, with the inflow of silver, the powerful people who think they have silver They will have some delusions, thinking that with gold and silver they can do whatever they want."
"The gold and silver trap of Hong Mao Fan may be a more serious problem than Hong Mao Fan in Ming Dynasty."
Felipe II of Spain, the king of the empire on which the sun never sets, fell into a vicious cycle. The more he fought, the poorer he got, and the poorer he got, the more he fought. The Netherlands was the most important source of tax revenue for the Spanish Empire, but the war occurred within the country, causing It caused great damage to industry and commerce, resulting in lower taxes.
For example, in order to punish the widespread rebellion in the Netherlands, Felipe II raised the price of wool to the Netherlands, causing the closure of more than 500 handicraft workshops in the Netherlands. Then the British directly won, and the British Lao has been exporting woolen goods, and has created competition with woolen goods in Europe and Spain.
Spain cut off its own arm, and the British woolen business immediately became popular and attracted a large number of unemployed craftsmen, becoming the mainstay of the woolen business.
Felipe II was helpless in the Netherlands.
"I will pay attention." Zhang Juzheng said with a smile. The emperor was reminding Zhang Juzheng of the crisis lurking under the water. Zhang Juzheng's answer was very simple, he would pay attention.
Zhu Yijun looked out the window, where the autumn wind was blowing the curtains, and said with a smile: "The wind is blowing, sir, go slow."
"I excuse myself." Zhang Juzheng left the side hall of the Wenhua Hall. A strong wind roared past, bringing a strong northeasterly wind. He took a few steps and felt a coldness on his cheeks. It was raining.
"Yuan Fu, Your Majesty sent us an umbrella and a cloak." Zhang Hong hurriedly ran out of the hall and handed a woolen cloak and umbrella to Zhang Juzheng.
"I thank your Majesty for your kindness." Zhang Juzheng put on his cloak, opened his umbrella, and walked to Wenyuan Pavilion step by step, handling state affairs as always.
"Is your great cloak a new gift from His Majesty?" Lu Tiaoyang asked with some confusion and envy when he saw Zhang Juzheng returning to Wenyuan Pavilion and looking at Zhang Juzheng's mink wool worsted crane cloak with lotus green python pattern.
Zhang Juzheng took off his cloak, arranged it, nodded and said, "Yes."
"The Holy Family is prospering." Lu Tiaoyang didn't know what to say. He could only say that the little emperor was really very good to Zhang Juzheng, the emperor's master.
Lu Tiaoyang handed a memorial to Zhang Juzheng and said with a frown: "The Jin Party is making noise to increase the number of ministers."
"Who are they going to recommend?" Zhang Juzheng took the memorial with some confusion, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty will not agree."
The person recommended is Zhang Siwei, but His Majesty hates Zhang Siwei, and he hates Zhang Siwei unabashedly. This disgust is the hatred of the national party, the hatred of the party struggle, and the disgust of the incompetence of the government's efforts to vigorously govern.
Wang Chonggu repaired holes in the northwest, resettled people, reclaimed wasteland, and within a few months, completely connected the upstream and downstream of the wool business, and initially established an official wool factory.
His Majesty's attitude towards Wang Chonggu immediately changed by -1. He is a great commander in one mouth, and he is the pillar of the country in every mouth. As much sunshine as you want, this is your Majesty's attitude. You can understand the meaning of working hard to govern, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. My Lord, Your Majesty is always very kind.
On the number line, multiplying a number by -1 means that the point is rotated one hundred and eighty degrees around the origin.
"But they chose the right time. Troops are currently being mobilized in the Northeast." Lu Tiaoyang's mind was full of thoughts, which finally turned into a sigh, and he shook his head and said: "Alas."
"Recommend the king and worship the ancients." Zhang Juzheng held the memorial and said to Lu Tiaoyang with a smile: "Since the Jin Party wants to recommend ministers, isn't Wang Chonggu more suitable than Zhang Siwei?"
"No non-Hanlin Academy members are allowed to enter the cabinet. This is the rule after Emperor Yingzong." Lu Tiaoyang frowned. Zhang Juzheng was violating the ancestral law. Wang Chonggu was the 87th in the top two in Jiajing's 20th year, and was not from the Hanlin Academy. Hanlin.
Since the Tianshun period, non-Jin scholars cannot enter the Hanlin, non-Hanlin people cannot enter the cabinet, and non-Hanlin ministers and ministers of the Northern and Southern Ministry of Rites cannot be appointed. When the common people first enter, they are already the prime minister.
Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "Uncle Zong will not stop him."
Although the Ministry of Personnel is inconvenient, the Ministry of Rites is convenient, which has room for operation. Since the Jin Party wants to recommend Wang Chonggu, then it is best to recommend Wang Chonggu.
Even if the candidate Zhang Siwei is approved by the court, His Majesty will definitely veto it with one vote. Wouldn't that intensify the contradiction between ministerial power and imperial power?
"Are you saying that Wang Chonggu is reliable in doing things, or Zhang Siwei is reliable in doing things? At any rate, Wang Chonggu has real abilities. If you give him something to do, he can really do it well. I answer that it is not easy to be awarded a tribute. Isn't it done by him?" Zhang Juzheng still felt that It would be more appropriate to let Wang Chonggu join the cabinet.
"Then I'll tell Uncle Zong and see what he thinks." Lu Tiaoyang thought for a while, put the memorial on the table, and planned to go to the Ministry of Rites.
As soon as Lu Tiaoyang came out of Wenyuan Pavilion, he shuddered when he saw the heavy rain and autumn rain and the cold.
Feng Baozhi arrived in front of Wenyuan Pavilion holding an umbrella. When he saw Lu Tiaoyang going out, he smiled and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Go to the Ministry of Rites." Lu Tiaoyang replied calmly, Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao were on good terms, it was Zhang Juzheng.
The relationship between Lu Tiaoyang and Feng Bao was very average, and the relationship between civil servants and eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty was not easy either.
Feng Bao didn't mind Lu Tiaoyang's attitude. If the eunuch had a good relationship with the ministers, then the emperor should think about whether this slave should sink into the well. Feng Bao said with a smile: "The weather is turning cold, your Majesty will give you a gift." I gave the cloaks to the courtiers, no, I sent them to the second assistant."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Lu Tiaoyang didn't expect that he also had a woolen cloak. His was also a crane cloak, but it was somewhat different from Zhang Juzheng's.
Zhang Juzheng's cloak is a gift, with a python pattern on the front. The python pattern is not a python, but a four-clawed golden dragon, all embroidered with gold thread, and behind it is a crane with an extremely exquisite design, so it is called the python pattern crane cloak.
However, Lu Tiaoyang's cloak does not have python patterns, which is a huge difference.
Feng Bao came to the Wenyuan Pavilion to deliver the service, and then rushed to the Liubu Yamen. When he arrived at the Xingbu Yamen, Wang Chonggu broke into a cold sweat when he heard that the angel was coming. He thought that Zhang Siwei had gotten into some trouble again, and the angel was coming to get him!
After knowing that it was the emperor who had given the order, the feeling in his throat dropped back to his stomach.
"Feng Dajue, it's a small thing." Wang Chonggu took out a wad of salt and handed it out very smoothly.
Feng Bao smiled and shook his head and said: "This is just a small thing, it's our family's head. Don't let the big Sikou harm our family."
"I'm just a little confused. According to my official rank, I should be a second-rank golden pheasant, not a first-rank crane. Isn't this a bit transgressive?" Wang Chonggu looked at the big cloak. He was extremely happy, but also a little sad. Not a golden pheasant, but a crane.
Wang Chonggu's crown prince, Shaobao, was deprived of his daughter's wife's imperial edict because it was written in gold. Therefore, Wang Chonggu was not promoted and he could not be promoted to the throne.
"Your Majesty specially told me that the crane is the crane." Feng Bao did not hide it, and said with a smile: "Da Sikou has done the job well, and everything is there."
The meaning of this sentence is very clear. If you can't do the job well, the brain you don't have will be gone.
"Thank you for your kindness!" Wang Chonggu's thoughts turned into one sentence. He affirmed what Zhang Juzheng said. Your Majesty attaches great importance to obeying the officials. If you do your job well, the benefits to the Ming Dynasty will outweigh the disadvantages, and you can embody the excitement of the imperial court. , there will be no shortage of celebrations.
"Da Sikou, stay here." Feng Bao, with his big tail, visited the Liubu Yamen. When he came out of the Rites Department, Xu Jue was stunned and said, "No, I remember that I ordered clearly according to the order given by my ancestors. You just walked out of the door."
There was still a civil servants office that I didn't go to, so all the cloaks were given out.
"You're right." Feng Baole said cheerfully.
"Ah? Where is the cloak of the Minister of Civil Affairs?" Xu Jue asked doubtfully.
Feng Bao looked serious. He needed to maintain his dignity in front of his disciples and disciples. He seemed to be calm and said: "There was no such thing as him."
"Ah this..." Xu Jue was stunned. His Majesty's mind is really smaller than the tip of a needle. He didn't even bother to be polite on the surface and refused to give him a woolen cloak.
When the time came for the court meeting in the Wenhua Palace, all the other court officials wore long cloaks, except Zhang Han. The scene was extremely embarrassing.
In terms of insulting people, the little emperor still maintained his usual standards.
This is the second update today. Please vote for me. Ouch! ! ! ! ! !
