Chapter 120 Looking Up at the Starry Sky Zhu Zaiyu
PS: This chapter is extremely difficult to understand. Please do not challenge your own weaknesses. Please read with caution.
A long imperial edict was opened by two small yellow doors. Feng Bao shook his fly whisk and secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, His Majesty had a sentence to read, otherwise he would not even know how to sentence the edict. He expressed condolences He said in a loud voice: "The emperor is destined to be destined by heaven, and the edict says:"
"Heaven, earth, people, and all things are constantly changing."
"The days are mourning, and I wish you to die together. When Shang Tang defeated Xia Jie, all the princes were conquered. Tang Naijian became the emperor and pacified the sea. Beichen moved one right pivot from Ziwei right wall and two lieutenants from Ziwei right wall. He couldn't and built Xia She. "
< br> "Shang Dynasty was in chaos and tyranny. King Wen received this great order, but King Wu was in 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 Yi people. Beichen moved from Ziwei Youyuan to the North Pole to the Emperor Star. The poem said: Although the Zhou Dynasty was an old state, its destiny was restored. "
"The Three Kingdoms have exhausted their heroic spirit, and the two Jin Dynasties are full of rats, and Chu and Chu are merged. , five poisons are ready; three horses in the same trough, wolf ambitions, everyone knows it, forcing Cao Wei to give in but no way to defend the world, the world is exhausted and withered for four hundred years, Beichen moved from the two emperors in the North Pole to the North Pole to the Five Heavens Pivot, and the Tang and Song Dynasties began. Everything is renewed. "
"The golden sword is holding back the sunset, the southern crown is helpless and the north wind is blowing, Hu Yuan takes over, the Chinese land is sinking, the corpses are on the road, the lives are ruined, the blood is thousands of miles, how many wronged souls sigh, Beichen comes from the North Pole. Tianshu moved and hooked Chen Yi. Fortunately, the ancestors opened it up, and the barbarians wiped out the world and restored it. "
"Beichen moved, the world changed, the stars moved, and all the infinite things changed. Sir, watching the moon, wind, and tree shadows, I realized the infinite things. The way of change is to explain all principles one after another. "
"The Master said: "Government is based on virtue, just like Beichen, who lives in its 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." br>
“I have obtained a rare treasure today, which I specially give to you, sir, in order to clear up my doubts.”
“I admire this.”
Feng Bao finished reading this long section of the imperial edict and transferred it to The calibrated sextant was given to Zhang Juzheng, and then he stood with his hands down, waiting for the little emperor to play with Zhang Juzheng. As for what the emperor said, Feng Bao said that Yuan Fu should have a headache for such a complicated matter. Bar!
What is the infinite way of change of all things, what contradictions explain all principles one after another, what is Beichen, what is North Pole, what is Youshu, Second Lieutenant, North Pole Two Emperor Stars, North Pole Five Tianshu, and Gouchen Yi.
I don’t understand! 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 little emperor. With his increasingly handsome demeanor, 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? His Majesty, the emperor, as the culprit, should not be the clearest. ? 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 me about taking self-study classes in the future!
"Can I ask Qin Tian Jiancheng for a question?" Zhang Juzheng decided to ask for help outside the court. It is not a shameful thing to not understand. If you don't understand and pretend to understand, you still have to 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 the Qintian Supervisor to come over? Tishuai, go to Xuanlai."
Feng Bao whispered Said: "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 go to the palace today to listen to his orders. Thousands of households were ordered to be punished."
"I knew this yesterday. Didn't he 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 have a look. The soldiers will cry at the burial, and Zhou etiquette must be observed. Three months at least.
Zhu Yijun is a typical example of a person who shines brightly when given a little sunshine, and touches his nose and face. The courtiers don’t object to Liang Menglong’s revenge after stealing his love, right? It’s just Sun Jifei who jumps out, right? Now it’s Ti Shuai Zhao Mengyou who’s stealing his 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 master Zhang Juzheng was always pushing the limits.
Zhang Juzheng was stunned. 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 the Qintian Supervisor and brought the Qintian Supervisor, Prime Minister Zhou, to the side hall of the Cultural Hall. Zhang Juzheng and the Qintian Supervisor worked hard for an hour, and after translating with each other, the emperor I understand.
Qintian Supervisor Prime Minister Zhou 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 it was Taiyi. It is now the Ziwei Youyuan Yiyoushu star marked on the Ming Dynasty Tianjian star map.
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 Celestial Pole became North Pole II, which is 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).
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 of Beichen."
"It's because of the precession." Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng as if he suddenly realized something, and asked: " So what is precession?"
Zhang Juzheng thought about it and said: "The year is itself the year, the sky is the sky, the earth year is different from the sky year, the sky year and the earth year, the difference between each year, It's the precession. It's very complicated and it's very troublesome to explain. The Prime Minister Zhou talked with me for a long time before I understood something. Do you want to listen, Your Majesty?"
"Listen, the road is long and long. Come on, I will search up and down." Zhu Yijun said with great certainty.
Zhang Juzheng thought about it for a long time. This is not his area of expertise. As a child prodigy, he is well-known, but he can 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 earth, which goes through spring, summer, autumn and winter, and starts again and again. To put it simply, it is summer solstice after summer solstice, winter solstice after winter solstice."
Zhu Yijun thought for a while 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 when the sun is on the ecliptic. The time it takes to set off from a certain star and return to this star is Tiannian. Your Majesty, this is not used by ordinary people, so it is difficult to understand."
Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said: "Very good. Understanding, isn’t it about relative changes? Didn’t the teacher talk about the antitheses of contradiction, 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. The celestial year is the change of the sun relative to the stars in the celestial palace. "
Of course Zhu Yijun understands. If he didn't understand, he wouldn't be able to measure the angle of Gouchenyi relative to the earth's horizontal plane.
After spending so much effort on magnifying objects, using levels, and rotating differential drums, if he can't even understand a relative motion, then why should he be precise? Just like the Hongmaofan, 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: you are born with knowledge, or you know it by learning, or you know it by difficulty. What you know by birth, you know by learning. What you know about confusion is a process of cognition.
Zhang Juzheng has been taking classes for almost two years. The paradox is Zhang Juzheng's work on enlightenment. As a disciple, he can't even understand this, so he has attended classes 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 the stars move toward the east. If the stars do not change, the ecliptic will move to the west. "
"Shang Shu said: The sun is short and the star Pleiades is in the middle of winter. The day when the sun is shortest is the winter solstice, which is a symbol in the sky. The Pleiades star official who marks the winter solstice will appear in the sky and tell everyone that the winter solstice is coming and the weather will be the coldest. "
"The star official Yu Xi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty searched through ancient books and discovered the stars of the winter solstice. It was also changing, and they were respectively Weisu Xingguan, Lousu Xingguan, and Kuisu Xingguan. This suddenly confused Yu Xi, and he was confused. It took several years for Yu Xi to determine that the winter solstice star official was Bisu. "
“For more than 2,700 years, from Pleiades to Bisu, if the celestial sphere is divided into 360 degrees, the solar terms and stars have moved westwards by more than 50 degrees in total, so Yu Xi is sure Now, the solar terms are moving westward, and 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 the stars for more than 40 years. The star official who goes out to tell the solar terms will move one degree eastward on the celestial sphere, and as he moves, the star official who announces the solar terms will change. Is that so?" Zhu Yijun understood Zhang Juzheng's words seriously and asked. answer.
The ancients always regarded the stars in the sky as the gods who serve as officials in the sky. The star officials who reported the solar terms were always changing, which made Yu Xi confused. Then he thought and observed, and finally came up with the concept of precession, the year of heaven. In a subtracted earth year, the stars move eastward and the solar terms move westward, moving one degree in more than forty years.
The little emperor cannot be troubled 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 with gestures and explanations. It was also thanks to Zhang Juzheng who 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 look on his face: "Sir, I am confused."
Zhang Juzheng immediately felt that the little emperor had changed from a sunny and cheerful master to an indescribable monster. There are so many doubts coming, and 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 am not engaged in stargazing, so I cannot answer your Majesty's questions." Zhang Juzhengzheng said righteously that he could not!
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 a principle taught to me by your teacher. When you have doubts, you must solve them in order to gain a newer understanding; your teacher also said that contradictions should be solved one after another. In all principles, knowledge and action are unified, and knowledge and action follow one another, only then can one develop a conscience. The teacher also said that a man of great perseverance is a scholar, and if he is not ambitious and courageous, he will be a coward. Don’t you want to help me?”
“Sir, you are not even afraid of the powerful people in the world.”
“Sir?”
Zhang Juzheng? It's really numb, it's all the truth he said. Now the little emperor uses the truth he said as gunpowder and lead, and all hits him Zhang Juzheng!
Zhang Juzheng was really hit by the boomerang and was a little dizzy. He bowed his head and said, "I am 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. You are the emperor's teacher and work tirelessly. You also said: This is I am loyal to your Majesty. How can you, sir, bear to see me confused and not resolve it? "
"I am a young man of virtue, how can I, sir, bear to abandon me? Study hard, have you angered your husband?”
“I will definitely study hard.”
I regret it, 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 the relative position of the sun in the celestial sphere has been more than 40 years. "
"Your Majesty, please think slowly." Zhang Juzheng was silent. After a long time, he finally said: "I can only answer one of the questions. The other ministers have to find the answer slowly."
"Precession, the relative position of the sun in the celestial palace will move one degree eastward for more than forty years. , this is not accurate. The exact number of years between Yao and the Eastern Jin Dynasty cannot be verified because the calendar has changed a lot in the past dynasties. Therefore, Yu Xi also roughly estimated that more than 40 years is an imaginary number. "Zu Chongzhi said in "Da Ming Calendar". "", it was estimated that it was fifty years. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Li Chunfeng wrote astronomy and calendars and did not accept precession. There was a lot of discussion and more than a hundred years of quarrels, and it was finally determined that precession did exist. "
"In the Yuan Dynasty, Guo Shoujing calculated in the "Time-giving 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?"
"The Ming Dynasty... has no calculation." 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 exhaled. Although he didn't want to admit it, he still planned to explain the matter clearly: "Wuzuan" Calculation means that it has not been calculated. "
"The methods of later generations are always better than the ancient methods, and they have been modified repeatedly to improve the secrets, but the calendar is the most significant. From the Yellow Emperor to the Qin Dynasty, Lifan made six changes; from the Han Dynasty to the Wei Dynasty, there were four changes. From the Sui Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, there were fifteen revisions; from the Song Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, there were seventeen revisions; from the Jin Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, there were five revisions. However, the "Datong Calendar" written by Emperor Ming of the Ming Dynasty was the old calendar of Hu Yuan's "Shi Shi", and it was used for more than 280 years. Years later, the constitution has not been changed.”
“Why?” 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 he could not touch as a courtier. He smiled and said: "The Tao Te Ching says: Big sounds are like sounds, elephants are like shapes. . ”
“Sir, the silence is like thunder, deafening.”
The loudest sound is like a sound, and the elephant is like a shape. The loudest sound is often inaudible, and the loudest way is often invisible. .
Zhang Juzheng's silence was so deafening.
Zhang Juzheng dared to say something wrong with 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 accused Chen Shan of 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 Speaking, can speak.
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. It is questioning the legal principles of the Ming Dynasty and it is the only way to do it.
Zhang Juzheng did not want to overstep his bounds, so he remained silent.
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 wax and wane of the years. The Datong calendar is eternal.
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 solstice and summer solstice, which directly caused the prisoner Xu Dun to almost have his head chopped off. Emperor Jingtai was the emperor after Ming Yingzong was captured After ascending the throne, the power and public opinion in the court became more and more fierce. 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, Zhang Sheng, an astronomy student in the 19th year; Zhu Yu, a doctor in the 13th year of Zhengde, Zheng Shanfu, a foreign minister of the Ministry of Rites in the 15th year, Nanjing in the 16th year In the second year of Jiajing's reign, Hua Xiang was in charge of the Ministry of Industry, and in the third year of Longqing's reign, he was in charge of the supervisors, Prime Minister Zhou of Shuntian Prefecture.
So many astronomy students have been requesting to change the calendar. Although some crazy people like Yu Zhengji and Leng Shouzhong are making random plans, others have their own evidence, but after going around and around, they are all stuck in the end. Regarding a problem, the laws of ancestors are immutable.
Zhu Yijun took a deep breath and said: "A drop of water can pierce a stone, even if the amount is very small, it will show up after a long time. This is the principle that the teacher said that quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. If there is a difference of nine quarters in a day, it will be in the middle of the night. If the time difference is one day, the leap will be wrong by one month; if the leap time is wrong by one month, the time will be wrong by one season; if the time difference is one season, the year will be wrong by one year."
"Sir, the Ming Dynasty has not changed 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 As farmers say, a year's plan starts in spring. If one day of spring plowing is missed, the whole year will be in vain. A year's harvest depends on autumn. If one day of autumn harvest is missed, the whole family will be hungry. The people will be trapped in taxes, grain rents, and private demands from the township. The suffering is unspeakable. I am not afraid of the power of heaven, but the farming season is not correct, and the world is tired. How can I bear it? "
"This is an extraordinary feat, and it should be an extraordinary thing. What do you think, sir? Can you do it? "
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 foundation is solid. The people of the Ming Dynasty are trapped in annexation. I sincerely know their sufferings. Your Majesty's personal care for farmers and mulberry trees is a blessing to the country. The ministers who serve as assistants and ministers should be loyal and do their best to share your Majesty's worries. The world's calendar has not changed. I am extremely anxious and has no good solution. If I am not good at this, I cannot help your Majesty. "
“I do know one person, but this person’s identity 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 can be appointed, please recommend him.”
When it comes to reusing 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 results theory, and he doesn’t care about the heroes and bandits. , If you can do your job, you are a loyal and good minister. If you can't do your job, you will go home and sell 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 his virtuous character. When he came to the capital, he always accompanied me 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 at this time?
Some time ago, Hou Yuzhao devalued the clan as useless and left everyone from the prince to the prince to fend for themselves. Zhu Yijun directly sealed the seal with a wave of his hand. There was an opposition and public opinion brewing in the court. Moreover, the situation became more and more serious, and many ministers wrote a series of memorials, saying that they were afraid of losing the friendship between relatives.
It just so happened that Prince Zheng’s palace brought the Qing crown prince Zhu Zaiyu to the capital. Who dares to say that there is no close friendship?
Zhu Yijun is very good at etiquette.
Prince Zheng’s Mansion has been passed down since the Xuande period. King Zheng Zhu Zhanquan was the second concubine son of Emperor Renzong of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Zhanji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, was called his second brother. Although they are no longer so close, Zhu Yijun also has no relatives. It can be said that they are all quite far away. Who is not Zhao?
Zhang Juzheng said with some sigh: "There is a story here. In the 27th year of Jiajing, the father of the Crown Prince Duanqing, King Zheng, wrote a book of Four Proverbs, admonishing the master of the world temple not to be obsessed with heretics and to worship Taoism. The Lord was furious and reprimanded him. In the 29th 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. The palace reunited with his father."
Zhu Yijun frowned and asked, "Is it true that he has been alone outside the palace for nineteen years without entering the palace?"
Zhang Juzheng wanted to ask if it was true when he heard about this. in this way? 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’s title to the palace. The palace was completely destroyed and collapsed, and half of Prince Zheng’s palace was destroyed like a ghost.”
“The late emperor sent another envoy to the palace. King Zheng refused to accept the official talk about repairing the palace, and the late emperor also 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 did not accept Qi Shu's statement. ." Zhang Juzheng told the story clearly.
Zhu Yijun recalled it very seriously and said: "That's not right. According to the records of the Mu Temple built by Mr., didn't Zhu Zaiyu receive the title of Crown Prince? That's why Mr. said he was the Crown Prince of Duanqing?"< br>
"The song is unknown." Zhang Juzheng explained: "Zhu Zaiyu did not receive the crown of 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, but Zhu Zaiyu did not Wearing it, the ceremony has not been completed.”
From the perspective of the imperial court, the prince’s crown was indeed awarded to Zhu Zaiyu, which is a gift, but from the perspective of Prince Zheng’s palace, Zhu Zaiyu has never worn it for a day. How can one say that one has accepted the title of Crown Prince?
This is an expression of their respective positions. What Zhang Juzheng means is that the Crown Prince title 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 What to do?”
“If it’s not too much, I can make up for it.”
No matter how beautifully Zhu Yijun said it, it was only the old Taoist priest who gave it to Emperor Jiajing. For their grievances, it is reasonable for their descendants to give them some compensation. Besides, what happened back then was because they, King Zheng, and his family were fighting among themselves for the throne, so they falsely accused each other.
The old Taoist priests of Jiajing bear the main responsibility, and King Zheng and his 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. Said: "Zhu Zaiyu said that he only hates that he is a member of the Zhu family. Your Majesty is generous. He was pardoned for the first time after his birth. When his father returned home, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Naturally, his words were biased and infuriating, which is also human nature."< br>
Zhu Yijun heard this and said: "Sir, are you redefining the idea of being overjoyed?"
"It fits his crazy appearance. It just so happens that he doesn't recognize the title 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 Qi 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 to the announcement or not. To give you face, I will call you my great nephew, Emperor. If you don’t give it, To save your face, you would rather die than obey the imperial 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 cannot come to the capital, what kind of blow will it have to the emperor's majesty?
"I'm afraid there's something wrong." Although Zhang Juzheng recommended Zhu Zaiyu, he still preferred not to announce it. Everyone has a peaceful life, and no one should embarrass anyone. Just pretend that they are no longer relatives. .
Zhu Yijun said calmly: "You can't be poor for more than three generations. A poor family has no heirs for three generations. Prince Zheng's palace has received endless favor from the emperor. From Hongwu to the present, it has granted 81 princes and 22 posthumous titles." Fifteen were expelled from the country due to extermination, and six were expelled due to crimes. At present, there are only 26 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.”
“It’s correct.” Zhang Juzheng quickly bowed his head and said: “The king of Liao’s dethronement was a heinous crime, and it is wrong for the whole world to take revenge.”
The matter of Zhang Juzheng presiding over the dethroning of the King of Liao was really a waste of money, and it is hard to explain why.
Obviously it was the King of Liao himself who remained unfazed and mourned after Emperor Shizong Long Yu honored the guests. He was impeached by the imperial censor, and finally made a fuss. The late emperor was furious and abolished the vassal. For such a big thing as abolishing the vassal, Zhang Juzheng could do it himself The final say?
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 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. Prince Zheng and Zhu Zaiyu, if they did not have the title of prince, they would be able to cultivate virtue, lecture, and write books. He knows astronomy at the top, geography at the bottom, and is full of skills. He plays music, plays, sings, and looks up at the stars at home. He said that if he is not a member of the Zhu family, then it is useless. Since it is useful, he should be ordered to pass 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, you don't care. A gentleman keeps his promise and keeps his word. Isn't it going to make people feel resentful? I have a good way. , he will be willing to come to the capital."
Zhang Juzheng hesitated slightly and looked at the sextant placed aside. To Zhang Juzheng, this thing was just a toy for adults. Yuan Fu just had nothing to do and looked at the stars. He didn't have that much energy to indulge in 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!
The Hong Maofan's simple sextant doesn't even have a level and relies entirely on visual inspection. Can it be compared with the tribute product produced by the Ming Dynasty and the little emperor personally used it?
If you like astronomy and music, just focus on your weaknesses!
The word "China" first appeared in the imperial edict of King Wu of Zhou Dynasty to pacify the world. Let's call it an imperial edict. It really 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! ! ! ! ! ! !
