Chapter 89 Mr. Yuanfu, I will take you to see the rainbow
The Ming Dynasty has a whipping method for a long time. Since the first year of Zhengtong, the Zhengfu of the fourteenth government on the ground of Nanya began to transfer part of their money to Beijing, and their annual income About one million taels of silver.
But the person who really confirmed a whip law and proposed that the taxation of the Ming Dynasty should be changed from physical tax to monetary tax is named Gui E.
Gui E was a Jinshi in the sixth year of Zhengde. In the eighth year of Jiajing, Zhang Cong, a scholar from Wuyingdian, entered the cabinet as his secondary assistant. The following year, Gui E published the "Ren Min Kao Shu" and proposed a whipping method.
Gui E put forward the concept of currency tax, and outlined the requirements for compiling and reviewing corvees and abbots. However, he was criticized by Yang Yiqing and others. Gui E had no choice but to become an official, and died of illness not long after.
Yang Yiqing and others were very resistant to Gui E's whipping method and defeated Gui E. However, the government still suffered a huge financial loss. If the court had no money, it could not support soldiers or talents. If you don't have hope, you won't be able to get official salaries, and you won't be able to do anything.
In March of the 10th year of Jiajing's reign, Fu Hanchen, the imperial censor, petitioned for an order to implement a weaving (whip) method.
Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth and said: ""Mencius: Ending the Heart" said: There are the levies of cloth, the levy of corn, and the levy of force. The gentleman uses one of them, slows down the other, and uses the other two, and the people will perish. Use the third to separate the father and the son. "
"What is the levy of cloth, it is also a commercial tax; what is the levy of millet, it is also a land tax; what is the levy of labor, it is also a corvee"
< br>"Meng Shengyan, only one of the three can be levied. If the other two are levied, it will be a heavy tax and people will starve on the road. If cloth, corn and other physical goods are levied, and the citizens are forced to perform labor, the people will be forced to do so. Father and son are separated, and the family is ruined.”
"This is also one of the reasons why all dynasties have criticized the tyranny of Qin's law, because Qin's law was the beginning of the three conquests, and Qin's three conquests made the world tired and violently destroyed Qin. However, Qin's law has been followed for hundreds of generations, and the three conquests have never been discontinued."
This is a basic fact. The Qin Dynasty conquered the Three Kingdoms, and everyone criticized the Qin Dynasty for its destruction. However, after more than a thousand years, it was still the same as the Three Campaigns?
Zhang Juzheng continued: "In the Han, Jin, Sui and Tang Dynasties, rent was calculated as land rent, and labor was paid by the mouth."
"In the Tang Dynasty, rent, Yong, Tiao, and rate loan, rent refers to every Ding Na and two stones of millet; Tiao, with the produce of the country, each household received three feet of silk and two taels of hemp; Yong, each Ding was required to serve as corvee for twenty days; rate loans, ten were collected from trading places on the main roads of Jinji and in the shops. Second, it is called rate loan. "
"The Emperor Gao of our dynasty established the law of three levies in the Ming Dynasty, and drew six out of 100 commercial taxes. One was drawn for fifteen, and from the 23rd year of Hongwu, one was drawn for thirty. Su Songgao received two out of ten. There were many types of corvee, which were roughly divided into four categories: Jia, corvee, miscellaneous, weak and so on. "
"In the tenth year of the Jiajing reign, Fu Hanchen, the imperial censor, submitted a speech and asked for a compilation method. Each province's small grains would be assigned to the corvee of each province, and the number of privileges and exemptions would be measured. Each grain would be worth one stone and the amount of silver would be scrutinized. , each Ding examines the amount of silver, considers the traditional and simplified, and accommodates the scientific schools. "
"One method is to combine the land tax and labor service, that is, the levy of millet and the levy of labor service, into one law, based on the acres of land. Collection. ”
The Yi whip method, originally called the Yi wen method, combines land tax and labor since ancient times.
One hundred and ten dings are divided into one armor, and each area is divided into prefectures and counties. Prefectures and counties are consolidated into each government, and each government is consolidated into the Chief Secretary. The Chief Secretary then converts the land tax and labor service of a province into silver taels and divides them equally. to all the acres.
Whoever holds the field should ask who collects the tax. All the labor services of various types are combined on the field and collected from the acres. This is to consider the complex and simple and to accommodate the scientific schools.
The greatest significance is to reduce the number of excessive and miscellaneous taxes, reduce the dependence of strong people, and reduce the tax pressure on tenants and homeless people.
Zhang Juzheng continued: "The wisdom of Li Lou and the cleverness of Gongshu Zi cannot form a square circle without following rules; the wisdom of Shi Kuang cannot correct the five tones without following the six laws; the way of Yao and Shun cannot be achieved without benevolent government. "Rule the world peacefully."
"Even if you have good eyesight like Li Lou and good skills like Gong Shuzi, you can't draw a circle without using compasses and rulers; even if you have good listening skills like Shi Kuang, you can't draw a circle without compasses and rulers." If you don’t use the six laws, you can’t correct the five tones; even if you have the teachings of Yao and Shun, you can’t govern the world well if you don’t implement benevolent government.” The important weapon of the country cannot be touched lightly, so let’s not care about it for the time being.” Zhang Juzheng talked about a piece of writing, and he only touched on it briefly.
If a law is to be implemented, it needs to be cleared; to measure the acres of land in the world, to know whose hands the 7.11 million hectares of land in the world are; to clear the land, officials need to practice it, and official administration is not It is necessary to eliminate the disadvantages of bribery and appeasement; to eliminate the disadvantages of bribery and appeasement, it is also necessary to use the examination-based promotion mechanism to break the past inherent promotion mechanism based on human relations and sophistication.
This all takes time, and it all requires constantly reaching a state of harmony between yin and yang in the struggle. It requires constantly summing up experience and lessons in the collision of spears and shields, and making changes bit by bit, not It can be accomplished overnight, not just by a decree or by asking the little emperor to stamp it.
The collision between spears and shields will become more and more intense. The more sparks that burst out, the more doubts will arise. Only by solving these doubts can we effectively implement the decree.
In this collision of spears and shields, preventing the country from overturning is the meaning of the existence of Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of the country.
Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth and said: "Luo Gongchen said that the foreign ships were divided, and they were talking about the levy of cloth, that is, the commercial tax, which was collected from the red-haired fans. The sage said: Without rules, nothing can be done If there are no rules for sea trade, it will not last long. If you draw points today and not tomorrow, people will be surprised and doubtful. "
"Simple. It is said that if the business tax is increased, the land tax and corvee will not be too harsh, which is also good for the Jin gentry in the world. "
Wan Shihe, the Minister of Rites, immediately said: "Competing with the people for profit is a great harm to the world! It causes the people to go overseas. What's the point? The world's wealth is lost overseas. We, the Ming Dynasty, have no wealth. How can we collect taxes? Our ancestors have established laws and established laws. There is an ancestral reason for the sea ban. "
"In the Longqing period, just for the sake of convenience, a January port was opened for the convenience of merchants, and the Japanese pirates and snakes were all paid, and all the people were paid. , this money is valuable, how can the people make a living if the imperial court takes it away? "The heart of one person is like the wealth of thousands of people!"
" , people think of their cruelty, the violent Qin Dynasty is destroyed, and today they also take the rule of luxury! The days are mourning, and you will all perish!"
"If you ask me, let's stop at this month's port, but there will be Japanese pirates. , as soon as the king's masters gather together, they can take it like a bag and pacify it. "
Zhang Juzheng said that if there are no rules, it will not be possible to form a square, so we must establish rules and collect taxes from foreign ships to make this moon port. Things are going well.
But Wanshihe said that all the people are paid by the capital, and the money is calculated. Taking the money of the Jin gentry is equivalent to taking the money of the people. When the time comes, the people of the court will be devastated, just like the scorching sun, why not If it perishes, the people and the imperial court will perish together.
Zhu Yijun raised his head and glanced at Wan Shihe, then lowered his head, looking at his book and taking notes slowly. I am afraid that Wan Shihe, like Lu Shusheng, had already put it away. The advantage is that he travels so much for this maritime project.
Lu Shusheng originally opposed Luo Gongchen's plan to pay foreign ships.
Wan Shihe also objected.
For this Minister of Rites to do this, he somewhat disgraced etiquette.
Etiquette is the disciplinary code of the world. Originally, in the early days of the Kingdom, the six departments were headed by the Ministry of Rites. Now the yamen of the Ministry of Rites is becoming more and more noble. To say it is noble is a nice way to say it. But to say it is an unpleasant thing, it means that the Ministry of Rites is not down to earth and its status is steadily declining. It has descended to the rear of the crane above the Ministry of Industry.
Due to Confucian etiquette, the Ministry of Industry has always had a very low status, ranking last in ten thousand years. If this continues, the Ministry of Rites may become the last.
"Wan Shangshu, what you said is really interesting." Tan Lun sat up straight and looked at Wan Shihe jokingly and asked: "What do you mean, the imperial court taxed foreigners? , is to collect Jin gentry’s money, to collect Jin gentry’s money is to collect money from the people of the world, that’s what it means.”
“Yes!” Wan Shihe nodded quite accurately and said: “Greedy. The officials peeled off the corrupt officials, and the people fled and wandered. Now we are talking about dividing the foreign ships. Isn't it because the court made money that the merchants should have earned? Didn't the merchants transfer this part to the people? Am I wrong?"
When Tan Lun heard what Wan Shihe said, he immediately asked: "The battle of cloth, the battle of corn, and the battle of force are all taking the money of the people. , let’s just stop recruiting together, what do Wan Shangshu think?”
Wang Guangguang said with a smile: “Wan Shangshu, why don’t you come to the Ministry of Revenue to be the minister?”
“The clan wants money, food, and honors? Relatives need money and food, hundreds of officials need money and food, nine sides need money and food, raising talents requires money and food, disaster relief and pensions need money and food, dredging rivers needs money and food, leveling post roads and official roads needs money and food, and building the Great Wall and Dingding requires money and food. Every winter, Ming Dynasty is everywhere. They all ask for money and food from the Ministry of Household Affairs, but you come and don’t collect them. You open your mouth wide open. If I don’t give you money or food, I would like to eat my people and calm them down.”
“You can do it. The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance is ready. "
Wan Shihe immediately said: "The sage said that if a gentleman uses one of them, the people will die, and if he uses the third, the father and son will be separated! That’s it.”
Hai Rui looked at Wan Shihe and asked with a smile: “Wan Shangshu lives by eating his vitality and living as a god?”
Hai Rui's scolding was so unpleasant that Wan Shi and the Confucian scholar were directly expelled from Confucianism.
Zi Fu talks about strange powers and confuses the gods, and his ordinary talk is unrealistic, just like a person living without food and grain, and only needing a bright divine nature to live a long life is unrealistic.
Wan Shihe was scolded and didn’t know how to retaliate, but the meaning he expressed was too far away from reality.
"Is it enough? Is it enough to requisition one or two of them for use?" Wang Guoguang tilted his head and looked at Wan Shihe and asked: "Of course you must listen to the teachings of the saints, and of course you must see how to practice them. The use of national finances It's a huge loss and we can't make ends meet. If Zhang Cheng and Luo Gongchen hadn't brought 240,000 silver back to Beijing this time, the government office wouldn't have enough firewood for next month."
Wan Shihe's lips twitched when he heard this. After a while, he finally couldn't reply anymore and said, "That's a matter for the Ministry of Finance!"
"The Ministry of Finance agreed to draw points for foreign ships." Wang Guoguang immediately took over the conversation, which was regarded as a statement. .
"The Ministry of War also agrees to draw points for foreign ships." Tan Lun expressed his position on behalf of the Ministry of War. Without silver, money and food, how can the soldiers be allowed to fight?
"Mr. Yuan Fu handled it properly." Zhang Han, the Minister of Civil Affairs, is an honest man. His statement on this matter is that Yuan Fu did the right thing. As for why, the court officials have made it very clear. , just like people need to eat, the court needs to collect taxes.
The three ministries have already voted in favor. According to the weight of the court officials of the Ming Dynasty, this court meeting has been passed, because Zhang Juzheng has the highest weight. He is a cabinet minister. The cabinet holds the floating votes, but Zhang Juzheng ignores them. , insisting on posting floating tickets according to his own wishes, he can do it as long as he persuades the emperor.
The reason for the court meeting was Zhang Juzheng's promise to the emperor.
In Zhang Juzheng's "Chen Wu Shi Shu", he made specific requirements for the young emperor. He also made requirements for himself: to listen to politics at the imperial gate, review memorials, and summon assistants and court officials. All state affairs need to be discussed by the court, and all officials should be responsible If the request is met, Beijing officials need to be assessed.
“The Ministry of Punishment believes that foreign ships should not crack the soil to breed because they are afraid that Hong Mao Fan will learn about Macao. "Wang Zhigao agreed to draw points for foreign ships, but drawing points for foreign ships does not mean giving Hongmao some money.
If you don’t understand, ask Ge Shouli. He was stunned and asked in confusion: "Losing the country for a cowhide? What kind of allusion is this?"
Zhu Yijun also raised his head. This allusion is very fresh. , it was also the first time he heard of it.
Wang Zhigao, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, explained: "The allusion to the destruction of Luzon by Folangji is that during the Zhengde period, the Hongmaofan of Folangji tried to trade with Luzon by force. After a while, the Hongmaofan came to his country. In the 32nd year of Jiajing, Fo Langji bribed the king of Lu Song generously and begged for land as big as a cowhide to build a house for him. "
"The king of Lu Song didn't realize it was a fraud and agreed. "
"The Red-haired Fan is splitting the cowhide, and is united to thousands of feet, and is surrounding the land of Luzon, forcing him to keep his promise."
"The king is horrified, but he has already promised. I had no choice but to listen. In the fourth year of Longqing, Francisco, the governor of Ming Dynasty in Yuegang, killed the king, drove the people on the island into the sea, and established the sea. Rui looked at Ge Shouli and said, "I was in Qiongzhou and heard the remnants of Luzon and the merchants of the Ming Dynasty say so. Luzon has indeed been destroyed."
"Luzon has been destroyed?" Ask if you don't understand. Ge Shouli felt lost. Luzon was also a tributary country of the Ming Dynasty. It paid tribute every three years, and he was afraid he would never see it again.
The courtiers were silent for a while. Today's discussion was about Luo Gongchen's collection of foreign shipping taxes. As a result, after much discussion and discussion, the issue was passed, but they found that things seemed to have changed overseas.
Zhu Yijun had been listening to the political affairs. When he heard it, he became quiet. He put down his pen, sat up straight and said, "Dear gentlemen, I have something to say."
As soon as the little emperor spoke, Everyone looked at His Majesty the Emperor on the stage.
Zhu Yijun looked around and said: "Sun Quan, the minister of Honglu Temple, reported that Oda Nobunaga, the great name of Japan's Owari Kingdom, was exiled by the Muromachi shogunate, and the Japanese king who was conferred by Emperor Chengzuwen was expelled. Masanori Starting from the 12th year, the Ming Dynasty and the Xiaofo Langji people clashed three times on Tuen Mun Island, and then wiped out the red-haired pirates in Zhoushan."
"Now I listen to the discussion of the Ming Dynasty. Doubtful.”
“Little Folangji people come from the west, and big Folangji people come from the east. They claim to be from the west. All Ming Gongs are ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Where are these big and small Folangji people? ? They all came from the west, one from the west, and the other from the east. How did they get to the Ming Dynasty? "Xiao Folangji is a Portuguese, and the Ming Dynasty knows more about it. After all, during the Zhengde period, there were two envoys from Portugal who stayed for a long time. In the capital, one is called Huo Zhe Ya San, and the other is named Tomei Piles.
In the first year of Jiajing, the Portuguese envoy Ya San was executed by the order of the newly enthroned Emperor Jiajing. In the third year of Jiajing, the Portuguese palace pharmacist Tomé Piles died in prison. middle.
The Dafo Langji people are Spaniards who have not had much contact with the Ming Dynasty. Their captain and the governor of Luzon just had a large sailing transaction with the Ming Dynasty in Yuegang, and the four million taels of silver were divided into twenty-four Thousands of silver.
Two countries are from the West, one from the east and the other from the west, both can reach the Ming Dynasty. Why is this?
As a young emperor with a thirst for knowledge, Zhu Yijun asked, "Where are these two countries?"
Zhu Yijun knew the geographical location of Portugal and Spain, and also knew that the earth was a ball, from east to west to the Ming Dynasty, but the courtiers did not know.
The ministers were silent.
Wan Shihe bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the big and small Folangji countries are just small countries that are not worth mentioning. They are just barbarians in the northwest. They don't know the king's culture and they don't know the etiquette. It's nothing to worry about."
Zhu Yijun looked at Wan Shihe and asked: "Wan Shangshu, is there nothing to worry about?"
"A captain of Da Flangji people, excluding the cargo on board, has more than four hundred Ten thousand taels of gold and silver, ten thousand ministers, and four million of gold and silver are nothing to worry about. My Ming Dynasty has become so rich? I, Deliang Youchong, are you coaxing your children like this?" br>"I dare not! I am guilty, please forgive me." Wan Shihe was so frightened that he quickly knelt down to plead guilty. If the accusation was proven, he would be deceiving the emperor.
Zhu Yijun looked at Wan Shihe and asked coldly: "Does Minister Wan know where the big and small Franji are?"
"I don't know, Chen Cheng." Wan Shihe replied kneeling on the ground. solved this problem.
Zhu Yijun looked at Wan Shihe and said in a bad tone: "Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing. Knowing means knowing, not knowing means not knowing. You, the Minister of Rites, still want me to have a child. , come and teach you the Analects of Confucius?”
"Aren't you the Minister of Rites? You are in charge of Honglu Temple. You don't know where the big and small Buddhas are? How did you become the Minister of Rites?"
"You don't know the laws of your ancestors, the Analects of Confucius You haven’t even learned that, but you don’t know where Haiyi is in charge of Honglu Temple. What are you doing every day?”
“In the past two months since you entered the DPRK, every time you discuss the possibility of harm? When it comes to the interests of the Jin gentry, you are always being scolded by the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, and the General Secretary."
"Are you serving the Ming Dynasty as an official?"
< br>"Chenchen..." Wan Shihe was unable to answer when asked by the little emperor. The little emperor listened to the government, and the little emperor heard every word he said clearly and clearly. Whenever something related to the Jin gentry was involved, He will jump out.
“Answer me!” Zhu Yijun’s tone became even colder. He looked at Wan Shihe and said, “Raise your head, look at me, and answer me, who are you serving as an official for?”
"The Ming Dynasty, or the Jin gentry?"
Zhu Yijun omitted the previous questions and asked this question alone. He asked too many questions, and Wan Shihe couldn't answer it.
Zhu Yijun just wanted to remind the Ming Dynasty and Ming Dynasty to pay attention to the changes that have taken place overseas. The Japanese country is moving towards unification. The large and small Folangji came from the east and west and successively attacked Goa, Managa, and Luzon and other tributary states, three of the fifteen unconquered states in the Ming Dynasty, have been destroyed.
Wan Shihe had to come out and say: The emperor shouldn't know where these two barbarian countries are. Anyway, they are small barbarian countries and are not worth mentioning. Isn't this scolding? What are you doing?
As the minister of Tuogu, and as the emperor's advisor, whenever the emperor had questions, Zhang Juzheng would scratch his bald head and find a way to solve the problem.
Wan Shihe jumped out and said, Your Majesty does not need to know, he is the elder, and he asked the emperor not to know!
"I am serving as an official for the Ming Dynasty." Wan Shihe replied bravely.
Zhu Yijun sneered, and the entire Wenhua Palace could hear the little emperor's slightly frivolous laughter, but no one jumped out to accuse the little emperor of losing his etiquette, because the Ming Gong who should have questioned the little emperor's misconduct , Wan Shihe, the Minister of Rites, knelt on the ground to plead guilty. The little emperor's sneer was mocking Wan Shihe.
The little emperor shook his head and said: "Tsk, do you believe it yourself? Ask our Ming Dynasty officials, do they believe it? Ask the officials of praise and correction, do they believe it?"
"I won't ask anymore. If you ask again, you should commit suicide when you go back. By then, I will have a reputation of being cold and ungrateful."
"Get up and think about it. This Minister of Rites, What should I do? Don't just be a cashier and talk nonsense all day long. The government is governed by bribes. You are a second-rank official of the Ming Dynasty. Listen to your words. You don't feel shabby. I feel shabby. , the court felt shabby. "
Wan Shihe knelt on the ground, neither did he get up, nor did he get up, nor did he hit the pillar, nor did he not hit the pillar, nor did he go back to commit suicide, nor did he commit suicide. , he could only say tremblingly: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
"So, gentlemen, where are these big and small Folangjis? Why are they all in the west of Thailand, and one comes from the east? One came from the west?"
Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, Rong Chen has figured it out, and I will report it to your Majesty again."
"There's no rush, let's continue the court discussion." Zhu Yijun waved his little hand and smiled, restoring his sunny and cheerful image. Yuan Fu was very pleasing to the eye. He was not losing his temper with Yuan Fu.
Mr. Yuan Fu smashes his own understanding of the world every time, and reconstructs it again to answer the little emperor's questions. This is a respectful heart, and this is a gentleman.
Wan Shihe just deserves to be scolded!
Zhu Yijun is not pro-government, and he does not chase Wan Shihe and scold him. Wan Shihe singles out Wan Shihe himself, so Wan Shihe has to taste Zhu Yijun's extremely powerful fist.
Zhang Juzheng then sat down, looked at Wan Shihe and said with an unkind expression: "Your Majesty is confused, and you should clear it up. What do you mean it is not worth mentioning, and it is not a cause for concern? It took three months to figure this out. If you still refuse to tell the truth, you cannot bear the crime of deceiving the emperor."
"Yes!" Wan Shihe was sweating like rain, and kept wiping the sweat with his hands. It was early. Knowing how difficult it is to hold court meetings in the Wenhua Palace, I stopped being a courtier. I gave up so much energy and finally became a courtier. I was scolded every day, and I was scolded every day. I was always scolded by someone. Still speechless.
A smile appeared at the corner of Feng Bao's mouth, and soon the smile began to spread. He tilted his head, rested his elbow on the armrest, covered his mouth and laughed, and then finally laughed out loud.
"Feng Dajue, this is the Huangji Palace." Tan Lun smiled with a smile on his face and reminded Feng Bao very kindly that there was a ceremonial officer in the Huangji Palace.
"Thank you Da Sima for reminding me, no, I usually don't smile, it's really..." Feng Bao shook his head and said: "Confucius said: If a person has no faith, he doesn't know what he can do. A big car has no hook[ní] , a small cart without a wheel [yuè], how can it be done?”
“The Master said that a person must be honest in his heart. This is the foundation of all things. If a person does not have trustworthiness, everything will be hypocritical. A car can run only if it has a handle, and a person can stand on his own only if he is faithful. If his intentions are dishonest and his words are untrue, then everyone will despise him!"
"Master, I sincerely don't deceive me! I don't know, I just don't know. What are you talking about? Everyone hates others, but it's just because they hate themselves."
After the emperor finished scolding everyone, Feng Bao A sharp blow made Wan Shihe realize what it means to be evil in people's hearts.
The ten-year-old emperor lied, but he is still not a human being!
Zhang Juzheng thought for a moment and found that he didn’t seem to know where Taixi was and how far it was from the Ming Dynasty. They all started from Taixi, one to the east and the other to the west. How could they all come to the Ming Dynasty? And this The problem seems difficult to figure out.
It doesn’t matter, just do it step by step.
The court discussions are still going on, the little emperor continues to listen to politics, the courtiers are noisy, but Wan Shihe remains silent, lowering his head in shame.
You cannot become an official or commit suicide. If you become an official, it will appear that the emperor is cold and ungrateful. Employing people in the court is like child's play. You become an official because of humiliation, but you will be even more humiliated after becoming an official.
Other people are talking about Wan Shihe, the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty. Why did he become an official or commit suicide out of shame and anger?
Being scolded by the ten-year-old master made me unable to hold my head up, being scolded by the little emperor was so humiliating, and being scolded that I was in a daze and didn't know my way back. That was even more humiliating.
The court meeting finally ended, and the ministers met and bowed to the emperor.
"I'll take my leave." After all the ministers and ministers were ready to leave, Wan Shihe stood up tremblingly, his face pale, and suddenly his body staggered and fell to the ground crookedly. He lay on the ground and gulped. Breathing heavily.
"Xuan Imperial Physician!" Seeing this posture, Zhu Yijun thought that Wan Shihe was trying to get into trouble, so he signaled to fetch the Imperial Physician to see what was going on.
Chen Shigong came to the Wenhua Hall as quickly as possible, took a pulse, then rolled Wan Shihe's eyelids, took out a piece of candy from the medicine box, and stuffed it into Wan Shihe's hand. He drank it with water in his mouth. Not long after, Wan Shihe stood up with a pale face.
Chen Shigong bowed his head and said, "Wan Shangshu fell down because he didn't eat in the morning."
"Did you get up late?" Zhu Yijun was silent for a moment and found the truth of the matter. It was winter, and it was getting late. Wan Shihe got up a little late in the morning. He didn't eat in the morning, had low blood sugar, and the excitement of the meal in the Wenhua Palace, Wan Shihe fell to the ground.
Wan Shihe did not deny it, and said helplessly: "I am guilty."
"Okay, let's go." Zhu Yijun waved his hand, indicating that Wan Shihe could leave.
This kind of misconduct in front of the palace, which should be punished by the court, is a non-punishment. It depends on the emperor's mood whether he can be punished or not.
The Ming Dynasty used the imperial rod to increase the seniority of the ministers. In the third year of Jiajing, sixteen ministers were beaten to death because of important etiquette matters. The young and politically inexperienced Emperor Jiajing suddenly became He fell into great passivity.
Zhu Yijun doesn't care about these trivial matters. Wan Shi and the Minister of Rites can do something less disgusting, thank God.
Zhang Juzheng didn't like Wan Shihe either. When Lu Shusheng took office, Zhang Juzheng and Yang Bo sat together and looked at the talent pool of Ming Dynasty. It seemed that Wan Shihe was already the best one. .
Other people were scolded like this, instead of admitting their mistakes, they made a scene in the Wenhua Palace, performing scenes such as bumping against pillars. If they could get a royal stick, it would be even more exciting. People praise it!
Not as good as Wan Shihe.
Zhang Juzheng watched the courtiers leave, then bowed his head and said, "I will help your majesty clear up your doubts."
"Sir, do you know how the rainbow is formed?" Zhu Yijun asked with a smile.
Zhang Juzheng thought for a while and bowed his head and said: "The Book of Changes says: The rainbow is the energy of the exchange of yin and yang, covering the rainy day to form a rainbow; "Mengxi Bi Tan" says: The rainbow is the shadow of the sun in the rain, and the sun shines on the rain. If you turn your back to the sun, the water will spray out, forming the shape of a rainbow. "Book of Rites: Moon Order" says: In the month of spring, the rainbow begins to appear, but in the month of Mengdong, the rainbow disappears. "
If the sun sprays water hard, it can form a rainbow.
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "The month of spring is March, and the month of Mengdong is August. My husband said that after August, the rainbow will be invisible. Come with me, sir, and I will show you sir." Rainbow."
"Ah? Look at the rainbow?" Zhang Juzheng looked at the little emperor blankly, what kind of monster is this? What kind of trouble is this? The little emperor who is not doing his job has come up with some novel tricks.
Zhu Yijun said as he walked: "The eunuchs in the palace all thought that Zhang Cheng offered the telescope, and Mei Shang got the job of going to Songjiang Mansion to deal with Xu Jie's return to the fields, so they started tinkering with these glass pieces. This is really I tinkered with some rare things for them. They looked strange, so I took Yuan Fu to see them together.”
"Here we are, this is the darkroom. There is only one small hole through which sunlight can shine in."
Zhu Yijun stood still. This is his extremely simple optical laboratory, darkroom, located in Wenhua Hall. Side hall.
Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! !
