Chapter 121 Looking at the heroes in the world, only Yuan Fu and Zai Yuer
Zhang Hong and Feng Bao listened to His Majesty and Yuan Fu discussing astronomy. They had the same expression the whole time, turning a deaf ear. They didn’t understand. Why should they listen? The thing that His Majesty and Yuan Fu want to study is called the Way of Heaven. As a palace official, I can just call Mr. Gao, Your Majesty is tough, Ming Dynasty is tall and tough.
The communication between the two geniuses had nothing to do with them. Although they couldn't understand it, they tried their best.
The two Dajue heard the last words clearly.
The emperor wanted to summon the crazy Zhu Zaiyu to the capital. The key prop he needed was the enhanced sextant they made. They used this object as bait to kill Zhu Zaiyu. Yu Xuan entered the capital.
Xuan Zhu Zaiyu’s entry into Beijing has three advantages.
The first one is to quell the criticism of the court. The provincial courtiers have been venting their anger and chattering non-stop. If the court has money and food, who wouldn’t want to be carried in sedan chairs and given to the clan? Salary? Isn't this true?
In the future, whenever someone criticizes the emperor for not having a close relationship, wouldn’t it be nice to reward this distant uncle?
The second one is to continue to implement the Ming Dynasty's idea of reducing royalties. After Jiajing and Longqing, let the princes and princes fend for themselves. This is based on the fact that the imperial court suffered a huge financial loss and can only If we continue to implement it, otherwise the court will not pay salaries and people will not be able to make a living on their own, isn't that forcing people to die?
This is a complete process. According to Hou Yuzhao's memorial, in the future, people below the county king will not issue ultimatums. They will have neither judicial nor tax privileges.
The third one is the significance of scientific research. Zhang Juzheng is very busy. He can read these astronomical records to prevent the emperor from being deceived, and also to prevent someone from using the telepathic method to influence the state affairs. The guest star in the sixth year of Longqing invaded the throne. This also made Zhang Juzheng very passive, although the Qintian Supervisor, Prime Minister Zhou, had tried his best to make amends.
For astronomical matters, find a professional and a clan member who is proficient in the calendar to preside over it.
The dual role of political significance and scientific research significance!
"Your Majesty, in fact, King Xuanfan came to Beijing to show his close friendship. This has happened in all dynasties. If he doesn't come, he will come." Feng Bao said with confidence: "A gentleman is actually best to bully."
< br>Nice gentlemen are the easiest to bully. This is always the case in all things. You demand too much from good people and tolerate too much from bad people.
A gentleman is actually the best to deal with. Zhu Wan, the governor of Zhejiang, is a gentleman. He was forced to commit suicide to express his will. Zhang Juzheng, Yin Zhengmao, Ling Yunyi, Pan Jixun and others would not commit suicide to express their will. They He only knows how to fight with others, fight to the death, and get bitten and bruised all over his body.
“Let’s talk about the feast.” Zhu Yijun waved his hand and started today’s banquet.
In the afternoon, the cabinet drafted an imperial edict, and the internal officer Xu Jue and the Marquis Yu Zhao rushed towards Prince Zheng's Mansion.
Zhu Yijun led a group of people to study the length of the sun's shadow all day long. The little emperor under the guidance of Zhang Juzheng was not a man of great ambition, but a faithful king. The reason why he led people to study the length of the sun's shadow. The length is because Zhu Yijun wants to study for the calendar.
There must be a reason for studying the calendar, and the best reason is the inaccurate farming season.
The Qin Tian Jian Cheng Zhou Xiang had actually determined that the Ming Dynasty's "Datong Calendar" was indeed inaccurate and was about one day later than the correct calendar, so various chaos occurred frequently.
The old saying that there is no leap month in ten years is actually not accurate. December of the second year of Wanli is a leap month, and the next leap month will be after 1784, which is 3358 AD. .
The leap month is to repair the loopholes in the calendar. The big month of the lunar calendar has 30 days and the small month has 29 days. In December, each year there will be 11 or 2 days less than the earth year.
In order to make up for the loopholes in the calendar, leap months appear. One leap month every three years is less. Two leap months every three years is more. Three leap months after eight years are less. Seven leap months after nineteen years. More. In fact, the more is not counted. If it's more, it's just one more hour, but it can't be accumulated, and the calendar needs to be revised repeatedly.
In order to solve the loophole of one hour in nineteen years, Zu Chongzhi wanted to clarify this issue, and finally proposed the idea of 391 years and 144 leap months. When converted, it is 391 years and 144 leap months, and the length of a year in the earth year is 365.2428 days. , which is 53 seconds longer than what later generations would get in one year.
Then after Guo Shoujing's "Time Granting Calendar" of the Yuan Dynasty, the year of the earth is 365.2425 days, which is 26 seconds longer than that of later generations. This is what Zhang Juzheng said that the law of future generations is always better than The ancient method has been modified many times to make it more secret, but the calendar method is the most significant.
Coincidentally, in the tenth year of Wanli, Pope Gregory XIII reformed the Julian calendar commonly used in the West and promulgated the Gregorian calendar. The Gregorian calendar calculated that a year is 365.2425 days. It is exactly the same as the "Time Calendar".
In the tenth year of Wanli, Taixi's calendar calculation finally caught up with the level of Yuan Dynasty.
Did the Ming Dynasty really remain motionless during these two hundred years?
The astronomers who came one after another repeatedly presented the calendar for the sake of the calendar, and their words were almost worn out. The emperor also issued several edicts to fix it. After all, it was not accurate to calculate lunar and solar eclipses. It was really beneath the dignity of the court. , which made the emperor feel unhappy.
During the Jingtai and Jiajing years, the immutable calendar of the ancestors was even briefly changed, but in the end it was never completely changed.
For example, the current Qintian Supervisor, Prime Minister Zhou, is a professional astronomy student. He has determined that the calendar of the Ming Dynasty is inaccurate and has roughly calculated the time, but his voice is too soft. Who in the court can listen?
He is often accused of being a violator of the ancestral law. Prime Minister Zhou, a small eunuch, cannot withstand the power of public opinion in the DPRK.
In Confucius' time, in order to avoid the ritual of crying after three years of death, the scholar-bureaucrats of the Zhou Dynasty invented the Jingewupi method to circumvent Ding You's death of three years of crying. By the Ming Dynasty, since Xiaozong Since then, there has only been one Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The sergeants and officials of the court, holding on to the etiquette of three generations above the French, even opposed the words of Confucius! The rotten Confucians who stick to the rules follow Zhou etiquette even more than the scholars of the Zhou Dynasty.
Xiang Zhou couldn't withstand the pressure, so Zhu Yijun wanted to give it a try, pushing the envelope even further.
And Zhu Yijun was really carefully observing the shadow length of the eight-foot tall watch. In fact, the Ming Dynasty also had a forty-foot high watch in Yingtian Mansion, and that thing was more accurate.
Zhu Yijun sorted out the collected data, picked out three numbers and said: "On October 10th, the shadow was one foot, seven inches and seven and a half minutes long, and on November 25th, it was one foot and eight inches long. One point is too strong, and one foot, seven inches and five points is strong on the 26th. That is to say, the shadow length on October 10th is 10.7750 feet, on November 25th it is 10.8175 feet, and on the 26th it is 10.7508 feet , that is to say, the winter solstice must occur on November 25th. "
Tai and Qiang both represent fractions, and Zhu Yijun calculated them into decimals, which is simpler.
The first shadow length and the third shadow length are almost equal, so the winter solstice occurs on November 3rd.
Zhang Hong and Feng Bao looked at each other. The little emperor was writing and drawing with a pencil, as if he knew when the winter solstice was.
His Majesty is the emperor, and he speaks of the Heavenly Constitution. On which day of the winter solstice does the emperor not have the final say?
“The shadow length of the watch changes very slowly before and after the winter solstice. Find a symmetrical data and compromise it, and you’ll get it. Isn’t it very simple? It’s not a spell or anything. Is there anything magical about it? ?" Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Hong and Feng Bao's searching eyes and explained his algorithm. This is Zu Chongzhi's symmetrical algorithm for calculating the time of the winter solstice.
The basic introductory astronomical arithmetic taught to the young emperor by Qin Tian Jian Cheng Zhou Xiang, the patent comes from Zu Chongzhi who was more than 1,070 years ago.
Zhu Yijun turned over the drawings on the table and said: "Guo Shoujing is worthy of being an old immortal. He raised two questions about Zu Chongzhi's algorithm. The first is that the changes in shadow length before and after the winter solstice are not completely symmetrical, and the second is that The shadow length does not change uniformly throughout the day. This is a fact that Guo Shoujing has personally observed for many years. The two errors are not large, but they will affect the accuracy a little bit together. "
Zhu Yijun pressed his thumb on his index finger and made a little gesture and said: "With such a little precision, three minutes and forty seconds of water are removed in a year, making the time calendar more accurate. The old god is really amazing. ”
Guo Shoujing is a guide who has calculated the earth year for nearly twenty years. He averaged the earth year for twenty years, further improving the accuracy of the earth year.
"How long is three minutes and forty seconds?" Zhang Hong finally asked tentatively.
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said: "Do you know the timekeeping method of the Ming Dynasty besides hours?"
Feng Bao said with confidence: "I know, there are one hundred quarters in a day and night. Dr. Leque specializes in this.”
"What about less than a hundred quarters?" Zhu Yijun asked again.
Both Zhang Hong and Feng Bao shook their heads. They were just eunuchs in the palace, not astronomy students in Qintian Prison. How could they know about such a thing?
“Read more.” Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Hong and Feng Bao and said, “I know that you have read a lot, but it is not enough. Officials, they are all scholars. If you don't read much, you can't compete with them, you can't compete with them for the power of explanation, you can't compete for the power of definition, and they will ride on my head."
"As a matter of fact. The minions of the imperial court must dare to bite and win with a bite."
Feng Bao recalled it very seriously and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, if I can still bite, I should be able to win with a bite. ”
Zhu Yijun was quite impressed after hearing this. He still recognized Feng Bao’s combat effectiveness very much. Sun Jigao, the champion of the Ming Dynasty, was killed by Feng Bao. Even Mencius Sun Jigao didn’t understand it. It only took one day. Sun Jigao The reputation of being less knowledgeable than the middle-ranking officials spread in the capital, and even Wan Shihe, the Minister of Rites, was implicated.
Wan Shihe submitted another memorial to resign, but the court still disagreed. Sun Jigao is Sun Jigao, and Wan Shihe is Wan Shihe. If Gao Qiyu is not used to deal with Zhang Juzheng, naturally Sun Jigao will not be used to deal with Wan Shihe. .
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "I know how powerful Feng Daban is. The palace knows more than the outer court, so the outer court cannot bully the palace. This is the guest star in the sixth year of Longqing. The truth is, if the palace knows what the guest star is, it will still be led by the outer court, and it will be repaired every month. Do I still need to review my Deliang Youchong to heaven? "
" Let’s go back to what I said about three minutes and forty seconds.” Zhu Yijun sat up straight and said like a little teacher: “Our Datong Calendar of the Ming Dynasty is actually the Time-giving Calendar, which has been used for nearly three hundred years. That’s right.”
“The timing calendar is fixed. One day is a hundred quarters, one quarter is a hundred minutes, and one minute is a hundred seconds. This is actually not accurate. Minutes and seconds describe the depth of a solar eclipse. , not time.”
"Can you understand?"
Zhang Hong and Feng Bao shook their heads in confusion at the same time. They knew nothing about astronomy.
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Well, it's a little complicated to explain. One day is one hundred points. You know this. One moment is one hundred points, one minute is one hundred seconds, then the whole day is ten thousand points, three Divide is three days ten thousandths.”
“Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, ordered to test the seven things. Guo Shoujing, Xu Heng, and Wang Xun verified that it was 24 quarters and 25 minutes of 365 days, which is also 365.2425 days. This is also the calendar. Decimals were used for the first time. "
"There was a water transport instrument in the Song Dynasty, which divided the twelve hours into twenty-four hours."
"Tianshun. In early March of the eighth year, Gu Bin and others from the Qin Tianjian reported that the solar eclipse was three minutes and fourteen seconds long, and the eclipse began at the second quarter of Youzheng. The eclipse only lasted for fifty seconds at the third quarter of Youzheng. br>
"That is to say, Qin Tianjian reported that there will be a solar eclipse on the first day of April. The sun and moon will meet at about three minutes and fourteen seconds. Youzheng, which is the eighteenth hour of the day, will be at From the beginning of the second quarter to the end of the third quarter, you can only see fifty seconds. It’s not that you don’t have enough food, there is no need to beat gongs and drums, and perform sacrifices and rescues.”
“Qintian Supervisor Jia Xin reported, The Qin Tian Jiancheng talked nonsense and deceived the Lord. The sun and moon should be at six minutes and six seconds, rather than the solar eclipse not being in time and needing rescue."
"On the first day of April, there was indeed no solar eclipse. , Jia Xin was imprisoned. "
Jia Xin was also unlucky about this, because what Qin Tianjian said was wrong. In fact, Shuntian Mansion could not observe the solar eclipse at all that day. He wanted to see it. The total solar eclipse reached Horin, the capital city where Genghis Khan established the Mongol Empire.
Because the calendar used by the Ming Dynasty was the "Time Calendar" of the Yuan Dynasty, and the data also used Helin's data, on the first day of April, only a partial solar eclipse could be seen in Helin.
"Okay, this is how the Ming Dynasty's hours, Chuzheng hours, quarters, minutes and seconds are like this." Zhu Yijun ended his lecture on the Ming Dynasty Qintian Supervisor's timekeeping method. This is what he saw from the time-giving calendar, and it is also The content of what Qintian Jiancheng Zhou Xiang said.
In the timing calendar, one minute is too short. When converted to later generations, it is only about 8.26 seconds. It will pass by just a little wandering.
“Let me calculate the specific time of the winter solstice. The method is equal to the difference of the shadow length of the 25th day minus the shadow length of the 26th day multiplied by two. In fact, it is equal to the shadow length of the 26th day minus the shadow length of the 26th day multiplied by ten. One hundred, divided by reality, is thirty-one minutes after midnight on three days. The conversion is really troublesome. One hour is 8.33 quarters, which is difficult to convert." Zhu Yijun calculated the time of the winter solstice.
Zhu Yijun said with emotion: "The Datong calendar is indeed wrong by one day."
This is Zu Chong's algorithm, which is actually not accurate. It needs to wait until Zhu Zaiyu enters Beijing for further analysis. accurate.
But Zhu Yijun used Zu Chongzhi's algorithm and determined that the day with the longest shadow of the year was November 3rd, not November 4th in the Tatong calendar.
Zu Chongzhi's algorithm has many inaccuracies. For example, the end of Guiying will be blurred, the length cannot be determined at all, etc. Even if it is inaccurate, it is enough to fire.
This is the algorithm Zu Chongzhi got by standing on the shoulders of the sages of the past generations and using more than 40 years of practice.
Not to mention Guo Shoujing's magical algorithm three hundred years ago, Zhu Yijun took out Zu Chongzhi's algorithm a thousand years ago, which was enough to turn the rotten scholars of the Ming Dynasty into scum in an instant.
He understands it, but the corrupt scholars don't, so he has complete control over the interpretation and definition of the calendar.
"Qi Shuai, Liang Menglong, Chen Dacheng, Liu Yingjie and others have been in Liaodong for almost a month. Isn't there any news from Li Chengliang? Don't rush us. We are in the capital about fighting on the front line. If you don't know the details of the front line, don't rush it." Zhu Yijun asked about the Liaodong war and emphasized that the emperor could not directly command the frontier operations.
Feng Bao said very solemnly: "General Li told us to wait until it snows. When it snows, horses can't move so that we can kill the enemy."
"Sir, I told you to give him a little If you have any questions, just listen to General Li." Zhu Yijun stopped asking and continued to fiddle with his sextant and telescope. Zhu Yijun did not rush, Li Chengliang defeated Qi Jiguang's Beijing camp, and Qi Jiguang lost Liu Yingjie, who led the elite troops of three towns to serve as reserves in Shanhaiguan, Xifengkou and other areas.
Zhu Yijun was really surprised. Ming Dynasty’s three-wave gradient and two-layer reserve tactics really opened the eyes of the little emperor. The little emperor thought in his shoes and put himself in his own shoes. If it were Gao, the reverse chieftain, he wouldn't know how to win.
This style of play of the Ming Dynasty has no other disadvantages except that it is expensive. By the end of Wanli, the declining Ming Dynasty could no longer use this kind of formation.
Zhu Yijun did not completely immerse himself in the skylight, and asked with a gloomy expression: "Is there nothing happening in the northwest?"
Feng Bao said: "Xuan Da Governor Wang Chonggu reported yesterday , I have invited Sanniangzi, Princess of Shunyi of the Ming Dynasty and Jin Dynasty, to visit Xuanfu. Anda Khan was granted the title of Queen of Shunyi. She is a bit old and Sanniangzi is in charge. Sanniangzi drank too much in Wudui's private house and injured one of them. Servant."
"Well, Wang Chonggu is quite sensible." Zhu Yijun looked at the sky.
The Northern Barbarians were headed by Sanniang Zi. From the Kingdom of Jin to the Xuan Mansion, they sang and danced with the Jin Party. The danger of the Northern Barbarians going south was 80% eliminated.
But once the Liaodong war was defeated and the Ming armies were in deep quagmire, Anda Khan would definitely not worry about Qi Jiguang's 100,000 border troops and 10,000 capital camps. Instead, he would send his troops south, plunder the capital, and force The little emperor signed the alliance under the city.
So the key lies in Liaodong. You can win but you can't win. You can't win on the battlefield. Everything equals zero.
Rongzheng has always been like this, winner takes all, without any middle ground, so war is also a concrete manifestation of conflicts that have intensified to the point of being irreconcilable.
When Zhu Yijun was measuring the length of the winter solstice shadow, Zhu Zaiyu of Prince Zheng's Mansion was also measuring the time of the winter solstice. Unexpectedly, he was not angry. The more he measured, the more angry he became. What's the use of measuring it? Who would listen to him?
As Zhang Juzheng said, more than half of Prince Zheng's mansion collapsed, and several more collapsed in the past few years.
The Prince's Palace of the Ming Dynasty was built according to the Yingtian Palace. It was customized and covered about 500 acres. It had a moat, a city wall, and four gates outside. Inside there were Huangji Hall, Zhongji Hall, The layout of Jianji Hall is very similar to that of the imperial palace. There are more than 800 palaces, pavilions, waterside pavilions, palaces, halls, ancestral temples, etc. in total.
Prince Zheng’s Mansion is located in Hanoi County, Huaiqing Prefecture. Counting from the 29th year of Jiajing, when King Zheng petitioned the old Taoist priests in Jiajing not to practice Taoism and was demoted to common people, Prince Zheng’s Mansion has not been repaired for 27 years. However, only about fifty of the eight hundred rooms were left, and weeds were overgrown everywhere, making it look extremely deserted.
And Prince Zheng and Zhu Zaiyu lived here in the dilapidated Prince's Mansion for another eight years. The place they lived in was extremely clean and tidy. Forty-four years of Jiajing In the "Regulations on Suspensions and Vassals", redundant personnel in the palace were eliminated. In addition to Prince Zheng's family, there were 14 officials and less than 20 guards.
Prince Zheng’s Mansion was supposed to have 1,600 school captains to protect him, but the stipends were cut again and again. These guards fled and scattered. In the end, only about twenty people were left. Can feed.
Prince Zheng Zhu Hounan and Zhu Zaiyu didn't care at all about this. The stipend given by the court was enough for them to live.
"My son, the court is not kind to us anymore. It gives us a salary of three thousand shi every year, and during the Longqing period, it added another 400 shi in real salary. Why are we so stubborn?" Zhu Hounan said worriedly, his son Even if he is a stubborn donkey, seeing his son sulking makes Zhu Houwan anxious.
The annual salary is 3,400 taels of silver, and the Huaiqing Mansion is not in chaos at this time. The average price of rice is seven qian per shi, which converts to 2,400 taels of silver a year. This is already a lot. Zhang Juzheng’s full The Chu Guild Hall's annual expenditure is just over one thousand silver.
So, if you have enough money, you can actually repair the palace, but Zhu Zaiyu disagrees.
"Things have passed, so why persist? Look at the twenty-six princes' palaces, including ours. The late emperor specifically issued a decree to give them a full salary. Which other family did not deduct it?" Zhu Hounan I really don’t know how to persuade my son. When he left, his son had just gotten married at the age of fifteen. Now his son is already forty-two. He has no doubts about being thirty and forty. He has no choice but to grow up.
Zhu Zaiyu put down the piano in his hand and said sternly: "My child is not persistent, but he wants to argue about right and wrong. In this world, if there is right, there will be wrong. This is not right, but what's wrong with it? "What happened?"
"My father was imprisoned in the high wall and was released in the first year of Longqing. Can anyone tell what happened back then?"
Zhu Hounan said helplessly: "Chao The contradiction sent by Zhong said, have you really not read a word? How can there be so many rights and wrongs? Since the late emperor released Gu and increased his salary, doesn't it mean that Shimiao did something wrong and gave him compensation? ? What else do you want? Let Da Zong apologize to Zaibian Zhi? "
"No," Zhu Zaiyu said with great conviction: "They are just a bunch of fools who don't know the truth in the world. "I'm just a common man on the road."
Zhu Houtan flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "You are indeed smart, but there are so many smart people in the world. There are people outside the world, and there is a world outside the world. I always let you read it. Reading is contradictory and you refuse to read it to death! ”
"I have never seen anyone who knows the world better than me." Zhu Zaiyu said this boldly, but his face was extremely calm. He was talking about the fact that there are people in the world who can read historical books such as "Shang Shu Pan Geng" at the age of ten. , how many people are there?
In all these years, Zhu Zaiyu has really never met anyone smarter than him, so he has the qualifications to be arrogant.
Zhu Zaiyu does not look like a Confucian scholar at all. He is never self-effacing and deserves his reputation as a mad man.
A nameless anger arose in Zhu Hounan's heart, and he said: "The imperial court now has a total of 19 million stones and 4 million taels of silver. For such a large imperial court, money needs to be spent everywhere. In order to use food, I reported to the government the day before yesterday. The report said that Your Majesty cut down the fireworks in Aoshan and saved money."
Zhu Zaiyu commented calmly: "Oh? That's not bad. Wealth is limited and expenses are unlimited. It is good to live within one's means. This is how it should be. Your Majesty is benevolent."
In Zhu Zaiyu's view, the little emperor who is still frugal is not bad.
Zhu Hounan frowned and said: "Since November last year, His Majesty opened the Huangji Palace. Everything he said has chapters and sentences, and everything he said has a calendar. The ministers in the court were speechless when asked. Your Majesty Ruizhe was very strong, and he made the emperor proud."
Zhu Zaiyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Most of the court officials are not bad. They are all rotten Confucians who are eloquent but not perseverant. They are best at confusing right and wrong, taking quotes out of context, and confusing right and wrong. His Majesty can silence them when they ask questions. It seems that he has really learned it. Yuan Fu is still very talented in learning. ”
In Zhu Zaiyu’s view, the little emperor who is eloquent and eloquent is not bad.
Zhu Hounan said angrily: "In Gu's opinion, both Zhang Juzheng and His Majesty are much smarter than you. Yuan Fu's contradiction makes people suddenly enlightened and their eyes light up, but you know it all day long. Holding the piano and looking at the sky, there is nothing to do.”
Hearing this, Zhu Zaiyu looked at Zhu Hounan and said very clearly: "What? When my father came to Beijing with a memorial, and we were separated by high walls for nineteen years, did he forget it? The clan members are involved in government affairs, and they are thunderous. I am full of knowledge, and What can I do? "
"Yuanfu is very powerful, but he has worldly knowledge. Unlike Yuanfu, he has worldly knowledge."
"This is what I want to argue about. It’s the only thing I have to fight against in this muddy world!”
“The Ming Dynasty calendar has been full of mistakes for 208 years. There are no calculations of solar and lunar eclipses, no calculation of precession, no calculation of the earth’s axis, and no calculation of the angle of Beichen’s emergence from the earth! No calculation, right is right, wrong is wrong, the calendar should be reformed!"
Zhu Zaiyu was extremely arrogant, and this statement quite meant that Yuan Fu and Zai Yuer were the only heroes in the world.
In Zhu Zaiyu's view, one of them is a great talent who has entered the world, and the other is a great talent who has been born out of the world.
Zhu Zaiyu said with a look of disdain: "Guo Shoujing said: The foundation of the calendar lies in testing, and the instrument for testing is not to start with the instrument. The secret of the calendar is endless. Only when the instrument is well prepared can the test be done, and the test can be accurate. Establish a calendar. "
"But the Confucian scholars in the court, holding on to the rotten old law that should be buried in the soil, must say: If there is a machine, there must be something, and if there is something, there must be an intention. Confusing machinery with character. "
"Haste makes waste, it's just for self-interest."
Zhu Zaiyu looked at the sextant in front of him. It is a stargazer he has made by himself over the years, specifically to measure the angle of the North Pole.
He knows the year of the earth, the year of the sky, the precession of the equinoxes, the precession of the equinoxes, the eastward movement of the stars and the westward movement of the solar terms, the beginning of the first day and the division of the hour into the hour, the degree of one degree, the minute and the second, and the fact that minutes and seconds are just the degrees of eclipses of the sun and the moon. , he could draw the ecliptic star chart, he calculated the inclination of the earth's axis, the angle between the ecliptic and the celestial equator, he knew that the earth under his feet was a sphere, and he even wanted to calculate the depth of the earth based on one degree of difference in longitude and latitude.
He has insight into the principles of the movement of heaven and earth. He knows that he knows everything, but what can he do? He is the prince of a feudal lord, how can he spread his talents and knowledge? It's just for my own entertainment.
The only thing he can do is to fight for his father's right and wrong. This is his strong unwillingness to accept his talents and the only thing he can do to protest against the world. Even so, this kind of protest can only save the prince. The crown belt is enshrined in temples, and it is a protest not to wear the crown belt.
He is the son of the feudal prince. Under the feudal ban, he cannot leave the prince's palace, and he cannot make friends with anyone in the same way. Even if he protests, he can only build an earthen house in front of the prince's palace and live there for nineteen years. , to express his inner unwillingness and dissatisfaction.
He is lonely and aloof.
So, Zhu Zaiyu hated that he was from the Zhu family.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the magistrate of Hanoi County suddenly sent a message, saying that an angel has arrived!" The chief minister of Prince Zheng's palace ran in rolling and crawling. His long robe was really not suitable for running. It was so unexpected that someone fell down without paying attention.
In all the years Chang Shi has been in Prince Zheng’s Mansion, this is the first time he has heard of an imperial edict arriving at the Mansion.
"Hurry up and welcome me, what happened again?" Zhu Hounan felt gloomy and gloomy when he heard this. There has always been no good thing when the imperial decree comes to the palace.
Xu Jue was good at riding horses, but Hou Yu Zhao did not know how to ride. In order to hurry up, the accompanying Tiqi directly tied Hou Yu Zhao behind him and started running all the way. In less than three days, they arrived In Hanoi County, Xu Jue asked Tiqi to inform the county hall, but he did not go at all. After bathing and changing clothes in the post house, he went to Prince Zheng's Mansion.
Before arriving at Prince Zheng's Mansion, Xu Jue frowned when looking from a distance. According to the city gate, the tower on the city gate should have blue glazed tiles, but the city gate was bare and even the tower collapsed. The moat was flowing quietly. , but no one took care of it, branches grew randomly, and it was a dilapidated scene.
Xu Jue walked into Prince Zheng's Mansion and saw everyone in Prince Zheng's Mansion who had been waiting for him. He opened the imperial edict and said: "The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, and the edict says:..."
The imperial edict is the cabinet. The emperor issued a seal, and the content of the imperial edict was roughly as follows:
What happened back then was all a misunderstanding, the Shimiao was also deceived, and there were also insiders in Prince Zheng’s palace who made random and false accusations, which ultimately led to unpleasant things happening. The late emperor has restored his title and given him more salary.
The emperor heard about the grievances of the palace and could not bear to send a special envoy here to reiterate that the young emperor would not go against the late emperor's arbitrary decision and would still give him a full salary, and also added a hundred stone allowance. The stipend was not worth the money, and he was given some property and a bottle of Guojiao sweet potato brewed by the little emperor himself.
He just ordered the crown prince to come to Beijing to show his close friendship, and then tell the story of what happened back then.
This edict written by Zhang Juzheng did not reprimand Zhu Zaiyu too much for not being part of the Zhu family. Quan took it as such.
"I cannot follow the imperial edict and enter the capital." Zhu Zaiyu waited until the imperial edict was finished and chose to refuse directly. His attitude was very firm and he had no intention of obeying the imperial edict at all.
“You!” Zhu Hounan sighed after hearing this, and hurriedly took over the imperial edict and said, “Don’t be surprised by the envoy, Gu’s son is a crazy boy. Everyone knows that Gu will definitely convince him.”
As Zhu Hounan said, he also handed over a handful of salt. This thing is most suitable for bribery, but Xu Jue pushed it out and said: "The ancestors have told the lieutenants who go out to do things. After collecting the money outside, they go out. I just kept the matter to myself, but my ancestors found out about it, so they cut off their hands and threw them away in the corridor. When our family went out to do errands, Your Majesty already had a reward.”
"The purpose of announcing the decree along with the Hou is to supervise the affairs, right? Hou is in the affairs."
Xu Jue was delighted when he saw Hou Yu Zhao Shang vomiting and having diarrhea.
Xu Jue looked at Zhu Zaiyu, pretending to be surprised and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince refuses to follow the imperial edict and come to the capital? Oh my, what should I do? Your Majesty heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince learned from his maternal uncle He Tang that day He is very good at calendaring and arithmetic. He was specially given two good things. It is really a pity that His Highness the Crown Prince refused to obey. "
Xu Jue had two of them opened. The red silk cloth revealed the telescope and sextant, and he said with regret: "Since the prince is unwilling to go, then our family will go back."
Xu Jue refused to stay even for a second. , and even turned around in advance to leave.
"The envoy will stay." Zhu Zaiyu's eyes widened immediately after seeing the telescope and sextant, and he suddenly leaned over, looked at Xu Jue and said: "The envoy, can you use this object?" Do you want to stay?"
Xu Jue showed a successful smile and turned around and said: "The prince is joking, this is a gift from the emperor. If the prince doesn't go, we will keep it privately. Your Majesty will be furious when he returns to the capital. Our family’s head is at risk.”
“Your Majesty, let go.”
Zhu Zaiyu held the sextant and said with a ferocious expression: “Don’t let go.” >
“Let go.”
"Don't let go!"
