Chapter 158 I am such a person, with a small belly and chicken intestines
Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and felt a feeling of admiration from the bottom of his heart. The dynasty has been so corrupted. Just like the chief ministers in previous generations, he just showed off and was worthy of the emperor's treatment. The salary is enough, so why bother?
The Ming Dynasty, which is like mud, is dead.
Sometimes Zhu Yijun felt this way when facing the situation in the DPRK, but Zhang Juzheng was always very patient in handling the affairs of the country and the DPRK. He had been doing this for more than ten years. The work was intense and the struggle was ferocious. I don’t know what Zhang Juzheng relied on to support him until now.
Of course, most of the time, it was Zhang Juzheng who beat others, and the opponents he beat were unable to fight back. He was clever, tough and capable.
The reason why the maritime faction was defeated by the river faction in the court was because the imperial court’s grain supply was the golden hole of moths, big and small. Countless people lay on this artery and drank heavily. Blood, Zhang Juzheng's reform of water transportation, shipping grain by sea was only the first step.
If you look closely at Zhang Juzheng's policies, you will find that the word "delicate" means that the previous 3.5 million taels of silver and silk brought into the court were actually an experiment in shipping that Zhang Juzheng presided over, and it was a confident one. experiment.
Zhang Juzheng, who was so patient, also had infinite patience with Zhang Han. Zhang Han’s presence in the government really affected the efficiency too much.
For the sake of efficiency, Zhang Juzheng was able to turn the little emperor's lecture into a self-study class for the emperor to listen to the government, and then lectured on the banquet; for the sake of efficiency, he could drive Zhang Han out. This is the last time, Zhang Han is here During the court discussion, some stupid things were said.
The main contradiction in the Ming Dynasty was the contradiction between the means of production between the powerful gentry and the common people. In order to alleviate this contradiction, Zhang Juzheng could not even care about his own posthumous reputation, let alone Zhang Han. Good stuff.
After the emperor listened to the government, there was a banquet. Zhang Juzheng combined his own experience in governing the country to explain the golden mean in detail and thoroughly.
Zhang Juzheng held his hands and said: "There are nine classics for the rule of the world, so the one who practices them is the same."
"Master said that when a ruler governs the world, he has these nine lasting principles. , although these nine things and their effects are different, there is a major premise to achieve these nine things. The so-called doer is the first, and this premise is true."
"So, The affairs of the world must first be true and not false, so that they can last forever and not change. If it is true, then do practical things. If it can be true, then everything in the Nine Classics can be accomplished, and the world can be governed. If this is true, Dishonesty, no matter how detailed the name is and how comprehensive the legal provisions are, it is just a hypocrisy to whitewash peace. How can it be called the rule of the world? "
Zhu Yijun frowned slightly as he looked at the notes he had made. Wrinkled and said: "But the Doctrine of the Mean in the Hanlin Academy's annotation says that the one who practices it is benevolence, which means that when it comes to the world's affairs, the premise is benevolence."
"It's false." Zhang Juzheng said without being humble or arrogant: " At least when talking about the Nine Classics of State Administration, the Master is not talking about benevolence, but speaking truthfully, because the one who practices it is: Everything will be established if he hesitates, and if he does not hesitate, he will fail. If you are determined before you go, you will not feel guilty. If you are determined before you are on the road, you will not be poor. "
"It is like a thing that is placed on the ground. It has been crooked since it was formulated, how can it last? This is the principle that everything will be established if it is not hesitated, and it will be destroyed if it is not hesitated. "
"Talk to people, don't do it. To be honest, I am not sure, I must be confused; how to be sure? It’s just faithfulness.”
“If there is no truth before doing something, it will definitely not work. If a person follows the principle, it is true and down-to-earth. If he puts it into practice, his principles will have a source, which will naturally be inexhaustible and endless. "
"If you are untruthful, your words will surely fall. Things will lead to hardship, actions will lead to guilt, and the way will lead to poverty. ”
Zhang Juzheng is reasonable and does not like to take quotes out of context. Instead, he interprets this sentence in conjunction with the context, rather than singling out certain sentences to quote.
Everything will be established if you hesitate, and if you don't hesitate, it will be ruined. The relationship between the word benevolence and benevolence is not very high, but it is highly related to the word "faithfulness".
Benevolence, Zhang Juzheng has talked about benevolence a lot, but in the end there is no clear answer, but in fact, to sum up, it is that benevolence loves others, you love me, I love you, everyone is sweet.
After all, doing things is like putting something away. It must be put away properly, otherwise it will not stand up.
You have to ask Master what exactly you mean, but Zhang Juzheng’s meaning is very clear. The one thing that governs the country is truth and speaking with facts.
Zhu Yijun couldn't help but think of the old Taoist priest. According to what Zhang Juzheng said, the old Taoist priest wanted to call Hai Rui to scold him, but Hai Rui in turn scolded the old Taoist priest. The reason why Hai Rui He was able to win and was able to scold the emperor without being executed because Hai Rui was faithful and told the truth.
After the palace change in the 21st year of Jiajing, the old Taoist priest started a long-term imperial life. In fact, the old Taoist priest has the ability to cure problems, just like the problems that occurred twenty years before he ascended the throne. To solve the problem, the old Taoist priest chose to mess it up.
Why can Wan Shihe chase Zhang Han and scold him, but Zhang Han can only shrink his head? Because Zhang Han was confusing right and wrong, turning canal grain into the concept of canal transportation, Wan Shihe caught him and gave him a hammer blow.
This is why Wan Shihe can win the quarrel. The most important thing in the world is truth, sincerity and authenticity. And what some people are most afraid of is truth, sincerity and authenticity, such as Ke Dao Yan Guan, For example, people like He Xinyin and Zeng Guang, who like to make false accusations and blur the boundaries between right and wrong.
Judging from Zhang Juzheng’s policy, he only played with the truth and not with frivolous things. No matter how brilliant he was, once he got real, he would miss the mark, which would only make people laugh. He also What kind of country do you think you are? You can go home and sell sweet potatoes.
Regarding mistakes, Zhang Juzheng is as true as ever. For example, when Gao Qiyu did stupid things, Zhang Juzheng directly admitted his mistakes after knowing about them. If they are wrong, they are wrong.
Zhu Yijun said with deep feeling: "Very good, sir, you are a great talent."
"Sir, I think that the annotations of the Four Books under Heaven should be based on Mr. Yu Mao's theory. Wang Yangming wanted to worship Confucius Temple, but the seven sects of the Wang family basically lost their ability, and therefore had no practicality. Mr. Zhang Juzheng said helplessly: "Uncle Xin Xin is more talented and learned than the ministers." If you want to be high, I will give a banquet to your majesty, and your majesty will naturally think that your talent and learning are high.” When it comes to self-study, he is still not as good as Wang Yangming. He is just an official.
Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "The standards are just different. What you teach is the knowledge of entering into the world and governing the country. I have read Yangming's theory of mind, and I dare not say that all seven sects understand it, but most of the disciples of the Wang sect have entered it. "Sir, the academic system in the world is so corrupt. If you are still unwilling to enlighten me, what will happen to you now that I have a master to serve as your prime minister?"
Who will I use? Who will I use after me? That’s it.”
Zhang Juzheng actually has no confidence in his teaching ability. His disciple, the little emperor, is assassinating the king. Before, he was also tired of studying; Fu Yingzhen directly impeached Zhang Juzheng as the leader; Gao Qiyu organized the Yingtianfu Township Examination based on "Shun also ordered Yu"; look at Li Le again, taking other people's things and not doing anything.
"Sir, are you afraid that they won't understand? I can learn it, so they should be able to." Zhu Yijun said with a smile.
"I obey the decree." Zhang Juzheng thought for a while, and it was the same reason. Although his knowledge was not high, the content he talked about was practical knowledge of world governance. The imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty wanted officials. rather than a doctor of economics.
"Sir, my arithmetic has improved a bit. Come with me, sir." Zhu Yijun stood up and came to the side hall of Wenhua Hall.
The heavy curtain opened, and the not too strong sunlight at noon shone on the title board.
On the question board, there are small squares drawn one by one, as well as two vertical and horizontal axes. On the question board, there is an almost perfect curve. Zhang Juzheng can see this curve at a glance. What came out was the curve drawn by His Majesty the Emperor when he was studying how to make a reflective telescope that could see more clearly, have no chromatic aberration, and be more stable.
Zhu Yijun stood in front of the topic board and said quite solemnly: "Sir, he talked about contradictions before, saying that the moon moves with the ground, the moon shines and shadows are born, the trees move with the wind, the leaves of the trees swing with them, and the water moves with the leaves of the lake. Ripples, everything in the world is universally connected.”
“When I was making a telescope, I was thinking about how to determine the multiple of the telescope.”
"In Wang Wensu's "Baojian of Mathematics", there is the idea of combining numbers and shapes. There is a universal connection between numbers and shapes. If there is a form, there is a number, and if there is a number, there is also a form. Just like a contradiction, it never exists in isolation. . ”
“A number also has its meaning in graphics. For example, 0 usually means nothing. In many cases, it also means starting from zero, so the number has a tangible meaning.”
Zhu Yijun took out a standard watch and said with a smile: "Quick minutes and seconds."
The weights and measures of the Ming Dynasty, especially the degrees, are still based on hundred points, not sixty points. The last moment is equal to one hundred minutes, and one minute is equal to one hundred seconds. This is the combination of numbers and shapes in Ming Dynasty astronomy.
Zhu Yijun drew a straight line with a ruler and said with a smile: "The "Book of Changes" said: In ancient times, people tied ropes to rule, and later generations of saints changed it with written contracts. For big things, tie the ropes for big things; for small things, Knot the rope, the number of knots depends on the number of things. ”
"So we point a point on a straight line and set it as zero, and we have a starting point."
"Positive counts as red, negative counts as black, so this straight line has a direction. To the right is positive, and to the right is positive. The left is negative. "
" Using one centimeter as the length, start cutting out this straight line, and we will have... -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3... If we If you need to be more precise, just divide one centimeter into ten millimeters, so heavy."
Zhu Yijun drew a number axis. The Ming Dynasty's number axis is very commonly used, such as the celestial sphere, the celestial equator, and the yellow and red angles. For example, the calculation of precession, the length of the standard shadow, the angle of the northern pole from the earth, etc. These are all specific applications of the number axis or the combination of numbers and shapes.
The graphic meaning of numbers is points.
Of course Zhang Juzheng can understand that this ordinary line can become a mathematical tool after having various definitions, because this mathematical tool is used very frequently in degree bypass.
“It seems that we can use this number line to represent all the numbers we know, integers, fractions, and decimals.” Zhu Yijun looked at the number line and said, “But I have encountered a new trouble. For example, a square with an area of 4 and a side length of two can be represented on a number axis with a scale. But if it is a square with an area of 3 and a side length of √3, how should this number be represented on the number axis? "
“Uncle Huang’s law of twelve equals has confirmed that √2 and √3 are infinite non-cyclic decimals and cannot be expressed as the ratio of two integers.”
At this point, Zhu Yijun stopped. Zu Chongzhi never thought that pi could be expressed as the ratio of two integers. He accurately calculated that pi was between the zero number and the surplus number.
Also for the convenience of calculation, Zu Chongzhi also gave two approximate values. One is called the approximate rate 22/7, and the other is called the density rate 355/113. It was not until Weida who played for France during the Wanli period that he calculated the reached the value of 355/113.
The number line can represent any integer and any recurring decimal, because recurring decimals can be converted into the ratio of any two integers.
But how can an infinite non-repeating decimal be represented on the number axis?
"Pythagorean theorem?" Zhang Juzheng thought for a while and asked doubtfully.
"Yes, the Pythagorean theorem." Zhu Yijun nodded, and drew a straight line vertically at 0 o'clock, and a rectangular coordinate system appeared on the paper, such as √2, you can use the check mark The length of the string of a strand of 1 is √2, and then use a compass to express it.
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "I made up a wonderful story for this Cartesian coordinate system, saying that I watched a spider build a web. Can each position of the spider be determined by a set of numbers? Then I My eyes looked at the corner of the wall. It seems that any point on the wall can be represented by a number pair, so Spider helped me invent the rectangular coordinate system."
"Your Majesty..." Zhang Juzheng was a little helpless. Why does Your Majesty like telling stories so much? Obviously in order to solve various real-life problems, various mathematical tools were invented to solve them, and a spider heuristic theory must be developed.
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "The angle between the sky and the earth at the North Pole in Shuntian Prefecture is 39.98°. We drew the equator across the middle of the globe on the globe. This angle between the sky and the earth at the North Pole can be regarded as a dimension, but what about the longitude?"
“I put the curve of the previous reflecting telescope into this rectangular coordinate system, and found that its longitude and latitude seem to have some magical rules.” “To be more clear, we express the longitude and latitude as xy, I found that the relationship between the value of its vertical axis and the value of the horizontal axis is y=ax. "
"Furthermore, is there also a random straight line? What about the mapping relationship? For example, for this slanted straight line, we find that this straight line can be expressed as y=kx. These all pass through the 0 point, so what about upward translation and downward translation? kx+b.”
Zhu Yijun enthusiastically explained the definition of mapping in functions. It is actually very simple. Points form lines, and lines form surfaces. Then points can be represented in a coordinate system, and lines can also be represented by an analytical expression.
The mathematical meaning of mapping is to reflect the relationship between numbers, while the geometric meaning of mapping is a collection of points.
Zhang Juzheng can understand it very easily. This is a mathematical tool specially developed by His Majesty in the process of exploring arithmetic. It is clear and clear at a glance.
That's all Zhu Yijun said. They are just mathematical tools. What he does is not meaningless. Arithmetic is the master of all things.
Digit bypass means using numbers to measure all things in the world and then connecting them with each other. Wang Guoguang has been committed to using numbers to describe the national taxes of the Ming Dynasty to make the taxes of the Ming Dynasty clearer. This is extremely profound. Practical significance, after all, mathematics does not lie.
This is similar to the Nine Classics of the World that Zhang Juzheng has always advocated.
"Yi said: draw and extend; touch the analogy and lengthen it; all the things in the world can be accomplished." Zhang Juzheng looked at the rectangular coordinate system, using pairs of numbers to express positions, and analytical expressions to express the positions of points. The gathering was quite a sigh.
"Sir." Zhu Yijun put down his question board, looked at Zhang Juzheng and said: "Yu Shuai's three thousand people don't seem to be enough. Can we add a little more as appropriate? After all, with the inflow of silver, I thought The powerful people who own silver will have some delusions, thinking that they can do whatever they want with gold and silver. "
"Hong Mao Fan's gold and silver trap may be even worse than Hong Mao Fan's in the Ming Dynasty. Serious problem. ”
Felipe II of Spain, the king of the empire on which the sun never sets, fell into a vicious cycle of becoming poorer and poorer, and the Netherlands was the most important part of the Spanish Empire. Source of taxes, but the war occurred within the country and caused great damage to industry and commerce, resulting in even lower taxes.
For example, in order to punish the widespread rebellion in the Netherlands, Felipe II raised the price of wool to the Netherlands, causing the closure of more than 500 handicraft workshops in the Netherlands. Then the British directly won, and the British Lao has been exporting woolen goods, and has created competition with woolen goods in Europe and Spain.
After Spain cut off its arm, the British woolen business immediately became popular and attracted a large number of unemployed craftsmen, becoming the mainstay of the woolen business.
Felipe II was helpless in the Netherlands.
"I will pay attention." Zhang Juzheng said with a smile. The emperor was reminding Zhang Juzheng of the crisis lurking under the water, and Zhang Juzheng's answer was very simple, he would pay attention.
Zhu Yijun looked out the window, the autumn wind was rolling the curtains, and said with a smile: "The wind is blowing, sir, go slow."
"I excuse myself." Zhang Juzheng left the text In the side hall of the Hua Palace, a strong wind roared past, bringing a strong northeasterly wind. After taking a few steps, he felt a chill on his cheeks, it was raining.
"Yuanfu, His Majesty sent us an umbrella and a cloak." Zhang Hong hurriedly ran out of the hall and handed a woolen cloak and umbrella to Zhang Juzheng.
"I thank your Majesty for your kindness." Zhang Juzheng put on his cloak, opened his umbrella, and walked to Wenyuan Pavilion step by step, handling state affairs as always.
“Is your great cloak a new gift from His Majesty?” Lu Tiaoyang saw Zhang Juzheng returning to Wenyuan Pavilion. He looked at the lotus green python pattern mink wool worsted crane cloak on Zhang Juzheng, and he was a little confused. asked somewhat enviously.
Zhang Juzheng took off his cloak, arranged it, nodded and said, "Yes."
"The Holy Family is prospering." Lu Tiaoyang didn't know what to say. He could only say that the little emperor was really very good to Zhang Juzheng, the emperor's master.
Lü Tiaoyang handed a memorial to Zhang Juzheng and said with a frown: "The Jin Party is making noise to increase the number of cabinet ministers."
"Who are they going to recommend?" Zhang Juzheng said briefly He took the memorial with doubts, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty will not agree."
The person recommended is Zhang Siwei, but His Majesty hates Zhang Siwei and unabashedly hates Zhang Siwei. This kind of disgust is The distaste for ethnic parties is also the distaste for party strife, as well as the distaste for those who do not follow the government's efforts to uplift and govern the country.
Wang Chonggu repaired holes in the northwest, resettled people, reclaimed wasteland, and within a few months, completely connected the upstream and downstream of the wool business, and initially established the official wool factory.
His Majesty's attitude towards Wang Chonggu immediately changed by -1. One mouth is a great commander, and one mouth is the pillar of the country. As much sunshine as you want, this is your Majesty's attitude. You can appreciate the encouragement and efforts to govern it. I mean, your Majesty is always very kind to those ministers who do more good than harm.
On the number axis, multiplying a number by -1 means that this point is rotated one hundred and eighty degrees around the origin.
"But they chose the right time. Troops are currently mobilizing in the Northeast." Lu Tiaoyang's mind was full of thoughts, which finally turned into a sigh, shaking his head and saying: "Alas."
"Recommend the king and worship the ancients." Zhang Juzheng held the memorial and said to Lu Tiaoyang with a smile: "Since the Jin Party wants to recommend ministers to the cabinet, isn't Wang Chonggu more suitable than Zhang Siwei?"
"No non-Hanlin officials can join the cabinet. This is The rules after Emperor Yingzong." Lu Tiaoyang frowned. Zhang Juzheng was violating the ancestral law. Wang Chonggu was the 87th in the top 20 in Jiajing's 20th year, not the Hanlin Academy.
Since the Tianshun period, non-Jin scholars cannot enter the Hanlin, non-Hanlin people cannot join the cabinet, and non-Hanlin ministers and ministers of the Northern and Southern Ministry of Rites cannot be appointed. When the common people first enter, they are already the prime minister.
Zhang Juzheng smiled and said: "Uncle Da Zong will not stop him."
Although the Ministry of Personnel is inconvenient, the Ministry of Rites is convenient, which has room for operation. Since the Jin Party wants to recommend, then Just recommend Wang Chonggu.
Even if the candidate Zhang Siwei is approved by the court, His Majesty will definitely veto it with one vote. Wouldn't that intensify the contradiction between ministerial power and imperial power?
"Wang Chonggu is reliable in doing things, or is Zhang Siwei reliable in doing things? At least Wang Chonggu has real abilities. If you give him something to do, he can really do it well. I answer that it is not easy to be awarded a tribute, but it is not done well by him. "Zhang Juzheng still thinks it is more appropriate to let Wang Chonggu join the cabinet.
"Then let me tell Uncle Zong and see what he thinks." Lu Tiaoyang thought for a while, put the memorial on the table, and planned to go to the Ministry of Rites.
Lü Tiaoyang just came out of Wenyuan Pavilion, and saw the wind and rain, one autumn rain and another cold, Lü Tiaoyang shivered.
Feng Baozhi arrived in front of Wenyuan Pavilion holding an umbrella. When he saw Lu Tiaoyang going out, he smiled and asked, "Where is Cifu going?"
"Go to the Ministry of Rites." Lu Tiaoyang replied calmly, Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao were on good terms, it was Zhang Juzheng.
The relationship between Lu Tiaoyang and Feng Bao was very average, and the relationship between civil servants and eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty was not easy either.
Feng Bao didn't mind Lu Tiaoyang's attitude. If the eunuch had a good relationship with the ministers, then the emperor should think about whether this slave should sink into the well. Feng Bao said with a smile: "The weather is getting colder, your Majesty will give you a gift." I gave the cloak to the courtiers, no, I gave it to the second minister."
"Thank you for your kindness." Lu Tiaoyang didn't expect that he also had a woolen cloak, and his was also a crane cloak. But there are still some differences from Zhang Juzheng's.
Zhang Juzheng's cloak is a gift, with a python pattern on the front. The python pattern is not a python, but a four-clawed golden dragon. It is all embroidered with gold thread, and behind it is a crane with an extremely exquisite design, so It's called the python pattern crane cloak.
But Lu Tiaoyang's cloak does not have python patterns, which is a huge difference.
Feng Bao came to Wenyuan Pavilion to deliver the reward, and then rushed to the Liubu Yamen. When he arrived at the Xingbu Yamen, Wang Chonggu broke into a cold sweat when he heard that the angel had arrived. He thought Zhang Siwei had gotten into some trouble again. Angels are coming to get him!
When I found out that it was the emperor who had given me the order, my heart was in my throat before it fell back into my stomach.
"Feng Dajue, it's just a small thing." Wang Chonggu took out a wad of salt and handed it out very smoothly.
Feng Bao shook his head with a smile and said: "This is a small thing, just the head of our family. The big minister should not harm our family."
"I am just a little confused. According to the official rank, I It should be a second-grade golden pheasant, not a first-grade crane. Isn’t this a bit arrogant?" Wang Chonggu looked at the big cloak, feeling extremely happy, but also a little sad. It was not a golden pheasant, but a crane.
Wang Chonggu’s crown prince Shaobao was deprived because his daughter’s wife’s imperial edict was written in gold letters, so Wang Chonggu was not promoted and he could not be promoted to the throne.
"What your Majesty specially told you is the crane." Feng Bao did not hide it, and said with a smile: "Da Sikou has done the job well, and everything he should have is there."
The meaning of this is very clear. , If you can't do errands well, if you don't have the brain, then you don't have it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness!" Wang Chonggu's thoughts turned into one sentence. He affirmed what Zhang Juzheng said. Your Majesty attaches great importance to obeying officials. If you do your job well, it will do more good than harm to the Ming Dynasty. If you can appreciate the excitement of the imperial court, there will be no shortage of celebrations.
"Da Si Kou stays." Feng Bao brought his big tail and visited the Liubu Yamen. When he came out of the Rites Department, Xu Jue said in a daze: "No, I remember that I pressed the button given by my ancestors. I just left the house after ordering the order clearly.”
There is still a civil service office that I haven’t gone to yet, so the cloaks have been given out.
“You are right.” Feng Bao said cheerfully.
"Ah? Where is the cloak of the Minister of Civil Affairs?" Xu Jue said doubtfully.
Feng Bao looked serious. He needed to maintain his majesty in front of his disciples. He seemed to be calm and said: "There was no such thing as him."
"Ah this..." Xu Jue I was stunned. His Majesty's mind was really smaller than the tip of a needle. He didn't even bother to be polite on the surface and refused to give me a woolen cloak.
When the time came for the court meeting in the Wenhua Palace, all the other court officials were wearing long cloaks, except Zhang Han. The scene was extremely embarrassing.
In terms of insulting people, the little emperor still maintained his usual standards.
This is the second update today. Please vote for me. Ouch! ! ! ! ! !
