Chapter 46: Introduction
The news of the lunar eclipse was announced, which made the people in Beijing feel uneasy.
"Didn't it last time, it was said that the sun was eclipsed and the sun was eclipsed, but as a result, the day they said did not come, but suddenly another day came, which scared people to death."
"But in the end, there is a solar eclipse, it's just that the time is wrong, just make preparations, anyway, you have to be scared on any day."
Because of the suspicion of Si Tiantai, the panic was diluted.
Although reluctantly, the fifteenth day of the lunar month still arrived as scheduled, and when the moon on the sky began to slowly wane, although they had already been mentally prepared, everyone on the altar still let out an exclamation.
At the same time, gongs and drums rang out all over the city.
Before the emperor bowed, he looked at the moment.
It's ugly, it's accurate!
And Guo Yuan made this move, presumably the emperor's calmness almost made him cry.
Father, son finally lives up to your name!
The title of the son of an astronomical officer is no longer a joke!
Guo Yuan followed and bowed.
The sound of gongs and drums all over the street is deafening, and Cheng Jianniang's home is naturally no exception.
"Lady, isn't this scary?" Banqin couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"It's not scary, it's very amiable." Cheng Jianniang said.
Libi stood under the porch with his hands in his hands, watching the moon gradually disappear in the sky.
"Amiable?" Banqin asked.
"This is the heavens telling people something, good and bad, are reminding, isn't this amiable?" Cheng Jianniang said.
Banqin seems to understand whether he understands or not.
"Heaven does not deceive people, it is not terrible." Cheng Jianniang said.
"Talent deceives people, it's terrible." Banqin said. looked at Cheng Jianniang happily.
Cheng Jianniang smiled at her.
"It's not scary. It is also the way of heaven. She said.
Banqin sighed. Although I still didn't understand, I still nodded happily, stood beside Cheng Jianniang, and continued to look at the moon in the night sky.
With the appearance of the light in the east, the fear of the heavenly omen gradually dissipated, and the heavenly dog was successfully drunk, the moon was saved, the gongs and drums were silenced, and the whole city rejoiced.
But the impact of the Celestial Omen has just begun.
"The celestial phenomena are responsible. It is because of the failure of government, please Your Majesty has issued an edict to comfort the people. ”
"The immorality of the government is not the immorality of the monarch, but the immorality of the courtiers."
"If the courtiers don't cultivate, isn't it the monarch's order?"
This kind of quarrel in the court has been going on for a long time, not to mention that the eldest prince standing in the hall couldn't help but move his feet to relieve his boredom, and even the emperor on the throne could not hide his impatience.
Look at it, in short, everyone will only blame each other, and no one will think that they are guilty and that something has happened. I just want this son of heaven to be punished and confess!
"In August of the seventh year of Emperor Wei Wendi, there was an eclipse of the sun. In February of the eighth year, there was an eclipse of the sun, and the stars were seen, looking at the astronomical chronicles during the reign of Emperor Wen of Wei, there were as many as eighteen eclipses of the sun, and Emperor Wen ruled the world for 30 years......"
"That's Emperor Wen's virtuous cultivation, when the sky fell into the East County, the first emperor killed the people living next to the stone to sell his stone, and then the Emperor, and Jing Gong was worried about the glow and guarded his heart, and the three did not move the sky to listen to the humble, and the glow was confused and migrated three times."
"After this year's solar eclipse, the northwest military has won a great victory, and Your Majesty's dragon is healthy, is this the punishment of heaven?"
The emperor loved to hear this, and couldn't help but look at Gao Lingbo with a smile.
Let's just say, it's not that he's immoral at all!
"Your Majesty, when the sky changes, the people are panicked, but they still want to be comforted." Gao Lingbo bowed down again and said, "There have always been prime ministers who have moved on and issued edicts. ”
As soon as these words came out, several courtiers changed color.
"To share the worries of His Majesty and comfort the people, the position of prime minister at that time." Gao Lingbo continued, turning around at Chen Shao, "Chen Xianggong won't refuse, right?" ”
Guilty of one's own crimes? How could Chen Shao be this kind of person! Let's say that once the crime has been decreed, the people will admit it, and who is willing to carry this infamy for no reason.
According to Chen Shao's habits, he will definitely insist that the emperor issue an edict against himself, and he will not admit his mistakes.
has already put out the emperor's state affairs and family affairs are all happy, it can be seen that the sky is not punishing the emperor, Chen Shao, you are still persecuting the emperor, what is your intention?
If you admit it ruthlessly, it will be better, there will always be a chance to use it in the future, what qualifications do you, a courtier who is not virtuous, have to be in a high position?
Gao Lingbo's smiling eyes flashed with a cold light.
The celestial phenomena are very scary, but this scary is generally used to scare others, just like the prime minister Zhai Fangjin who was killed by Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty.
Everything is just an opportunity.
Master Chen, I'm sorry, but now I got this opportunity.
"I can't!"
Sure enough, Chen Shao's sonorous and powerful voice sounded in the hall.
"The minister is not responsible, and apologies are not enough to comfort the world, this is the immorality of His Majesty's government."
The emperor's face was a little unsightly, and Gao Lingbo was angry on his face, but he was more and more happy in his heart.
"Report."
At this moment, outside the palace gate, the Imperial City Division raised Wan Liufang and shouted kowtow.
"Your Majesty, Jingnan Lumao is in turmoil."
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked, and the emperor stood up from the throne.
"Wan Liufang, what did you say?" He shouted in disbelief.
Wan Liufang crawled in and held up a document in his hand.
"Your Majesty, Jingnan Maoping Liu Xiaotong is opposed."
Anti......
Gao Lingbo's face suddenly turned pale.
"In the summer of this year, the drought in Maoping caused the people to live in poverty, and in winter, it snowed heavily for seven days, killing and wounding countless people, and mourning everywhere."
Looking at the recital, the emperor's hands kept shaking, and his expression changed from shock to anger.
"These things, why don't I know these things!"
The emperor shouted violently and smashed the piece in his hand.
"Your Majesty, I found out just now, and the excerpt for disaster relief handed over by Maoping half a month ago was blocked and suppressed." An official stood up and said.
"Who dare?" The Emperor shouted.
"Gao Lingbo of the Political Affairs Hall." The official shouted.
Gao Lingbo, who was standing on the side, didn't have the slightest smile on his face.
How so? What's going on?
He did know about the Maoping Snow Disaster, but seeing that His Majesty had been happy recently, and it was about to reach the end of the year. So I want to push it and play it again. Besides, the disaster on the piece he saw was not so serious. There will be no man-made rebellion.
If it's really that serious, he, Gao Lingbo, is not a fool who will suppress it!
No, no, there must be something wrong.
It's a matter of the paperwork that was handed to him!
That paperwork is incomplete!
The truly detailed disaster report must be in the hands of Chen Shao and others!
They did it on purpose!
Gao Lingbo was enlightened for a moment, and looked up at Chen Shao, who was also looking at him.
Chen Xianggong, who has always been upright, seemed to have a sneer in his eyes.
No wonder Chen Shao insisted on biting the heavenly phenomena this time to punish His Majesty for his crimes, where did he want His Majesty to issue an edict, it was clearly the same as his own thoughts. Use this celestial phenomenon to exclude dissent!
Who else?
Gao Lingbo's gaze fell on Wan Liufang, who had retreated outside the door.
Where is this kind of urgent report, where is it the turn of Wan Liufang, a eunuch and an inner servant, to report! Dare to intercept and meddle in the court's report, this is a taboo for the eunuch's servant!
Wan Liufang is either crazy or tempted enough for him to do this!
Gao Lingbo's teeth gritted.
Chen Shao!
You are a decent gentleman who plays such a trick in private!
What is the reason of heaven!
Gao Lingbo only felt that his blood was rushing, and the emperor's voice in his ears seemed to be far and near.
But at this time, he must not admit defeat.
"Your Majesty, the minister did not say that the disaster was so serious." Gao Lingbo took a deep breath and said strongly.
Although I know that there is no point in saying anything at this moment.
But what needs to be said is still to be said.
"Whether the disaster is serious or not is determined by me!" The Emperor shouted.
"The ministers are guilty."
The Manchu ministers said in unison.
The ministers are guilty, the ministers are guilty, and then you are finally willing to confess!
"First there was a solar eclipse, then there was a lunar eclipse, and you still refused to confess your sins. I have to blame the sin and accuse me of immorality! "The Emperor stood. He sneered and said, "This big disaster is actually hidden from me!" The heavens had to send a vision! You are truly my good courtiers! ”
Chen Shao bowed and saluted, holding the wat board.
"Please punish Gao Lingbo for blinding Shengcong to punish heaven." He said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty has failed to observe the virtue and politics, and the minister asks Your Majesty to issue a pardon edict and ask for advice." ”
The emperor looked at the people in the court with a cold expression.
"The people are not happy, disasters are repeated, the sun and the moon are eclipsed together, disasters are punished by heaven, I dare not be afraid? I should confess my sins to heaven and issue an edict of forgiveness. He said slowly.
Gao Lingbo sighed in his heart.
The emperor is willing to make an edict, and he, a courtier who forced the emperor to be like this, naturally can't escape.
In the past, the geese were pecked today!
Okay, okay, let's see!
"Minister, guilty."
With the emperor's edict, Gao Lingbo's resignation and confession, and the news of the Maoping snow disaster and civil unrest spread, it gradually subsided.
The abnormal changes in the sky correspond to the chaos of the Maoping snow disaster, although it is terrifying, but the panic has subsided.
The people are afraid of the unknown, but now they know what the change in the sky portends, and they are like a boulder landing on the ground.
"It's money."
In the Yudaiqiao Cheng family's house, the king of Jin'an watched the attendant put a box of money under the porch.
"A thousand runs, a little bit, lady."
Banqin and the maidservant covered their mouths and smiled.
Cheng Jianniang also smiled slightly.
Sure enough, I was happy! This deliberate loss works.
The King of Jin'an County walked into the hall with a bit of pride.
"It's just a pity that everyone doesn't know this time, but it's actually your speculation." He said, "But Your Majesty knows it in his heart. ”
"How can I say that I deduced this?" Cheng Jianniang said, "Heaven is constant, but it is not up to me. ”
King Jin'an smiled.
"Si Tiantai Guo Yuan's kid has taken good luck, he has been promoted to a young eunuch, he has been in charge of astronomical calculations, and he has also been given a mansion, so he no longer has to rent a small dilapidated house outside the city." He smiled, "Everyone calls him Li Chunfeng's reincarnation, but they don't know that the real Li Chunfeng is here." ”
The king of the county laughed. Cheng Jianniang said.
King Jin'an smiled.
"yes, yes, I'm joking." He said while turning his head to look at Cheng Jianniang, "Did you smile?" ”
Banqin covered her mouth and smiled, and the maid on the side also smiled, but she frowned slightly, looking at the king of Jin'an County a little thoughtfully.
Sitting down in the hall, the king of Jin'an was a little relaxed and proud.
This time I was able to remind the emperor that he had made preparations early, and let His Majesty know the merits of Cheng Jianniang, and not to uproar the world, it was really a double win.
"It's good that I can make my own decisions and do something, I should have taken my sixth brother out of the palace to live earlier." He said.
"Your Highness thinks you can call the shots?" Cheng Jianniang said.
It seems that he heard this sentence last time, and the king of Jin'an County was slightly stunned, as if he was talking about his family affairs.
What does she want to do?
"yes, I can." He said, raising his eyebrows in a pretended lighthearted manner, "You won't say kiss to me too, will you?" ”
"Nope." Cheng Jianniang shook her head and looked at the King of Jin'an County, "I think His Royal Highness originally thought that using others to block arrows meant that he could call the shots." ”
The king of Jin'an County was stunned.
"How long does Your Highness want to use King Qing to protect yourself? For a lifetime? Cheng Jianniang said slowly.
