Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Eclipse Is Coming

After the winter, Zhu Qizhen summoned Qin Tianjian more often.

Because after the beginning of winter, there has never been a single rain or snow. The dry city of Beijing was almost overwhelmed by wind and sand.

There is no rain washing, and the dry weather makes it easy for the corners of the mouth to crack. The wind and sand are so great that even the Forbidden City cannot avoid being shrouded in a dusk.

There was even a day when the wind and sand were so strong that it could be called a sandstorm.

Although the sky was clear, it was dark and could not see the day, and it was all covered by wind and sand, and people could not open their eyes at all.

Such an environment made Zhu Qizhen deeply feel that the ruins of the north could no longer be just a water conservancy problem. It's just that the water conservancy problem is also imminent.

Zhu Qizhen's sense of urgency in his heart is increasing day by day, even though he knows that governing the environment is a very slow thing, and he can't make contributions if it is not thirty or fifty years, one or two generations.

But Zhu Qizhen still has another feeling in his heart that time cannot wait.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen heard another bad news from Qin Tianjian. That's a solar eclipse. And the time of the solar eclipse is not another time, but the first day of the first month. The first day of the first month of the sixth year of orthodoxy. It's over. It is the beginning of the unification day, and with the ideology of this era, this omen is too bad.

Zhu Qizhen immediately frowned. said, "Are you sure." ”

Qin Tianjian didn't dare to raise his head, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to report in vain to bully the king, the minister has already calculated with Qin Tianjian many times, and he should eat ninety-one seconds on the first day of the first month of the sixth year of orthodoxy." You can't go wrong. ”

Zhu Qizhen paced with his hands and said, "Go down, take care of your mouth." ”

Prison Supervisor Qintian let out a sigh of relief, and then slowly retreated.

Zhu Qizhen also knows that such a major event has too much impact, and it is definitely not a simple political **. With this Qin Tianjian correcting his head, he didn't dare to open his mouth, he must have checked and calculated.

In this matter, if something goes wrong, it will definitely be difficult for others to protect.

As for the ninety-one second, it must not be understood as the present ninety-one second, which is the unit of ancient astronomical calculations.

The ancients divided the day of the week into three hundred and sixty-five and one quarter degrees, because it was the time of the solar year, in which one degree was divided into one hundred minutes and one minute was divided into one hundred seconds.

The concept of minutes and seconds in later generations was extended from this astronomical concept.

Ninety-one seconds, about twenty-four minutes.

If it is an ordinary solar eclipse, Zhu Qizhen doesn't care, after all, although there are many solar eclipses, they always have them every few decades.

There are certain rules on how to deal with it.

Zhu Qizhen just needs to follow the steps.

But now it's very different.

After Yu Qian came out of Yang Shiqi's mansion that day, he returned to the palace to resume his life, although he didn't say anything, but neither did Zhu Qizhen

Fool, he didn't feel it at the time, and then he realized that something was wrong.

Because there was actually a group of ministers below, they talked about the great drought in the north, and frequently raised the slogan of repairing water conservancy to save natural disasters.

Zhu Qizhen just began to think that his policy had won the support of hundreds of officials below. But he was happy and made a statistic, and he felt that it was wrong.

There are northerners and southerners who play the music, but there are not many Hebei people who are actually related to Zhili.

Because there are not too many Hebei officials headed by Cao Nai. And in terms of water control, Cao Nai and Yu Qian joined forces. Before the emperor did things, he thought of employing people, but didn't Yu Qian and Cao Nai know?

Therefore, most of the courtiers who really support water control are on the Hebei construction site.

After all, water control is a matter of great importance, and if anyone secretly makes something happen, no matter Cao Nai and Yu Qian, they will not get any benefits.

And in general, whether it is Yu Qian or Cao Nai, their qualifications are very shallow, and even if the two of them join forces, they may not be able to get such a momentum.

Although Zhu Qizhen did not let Jinyiwei monitor the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and even recorded what they ate and drank, Zhu Qizhen still recorded the normal exchanges and meetings of most of the ministers.

Of course, as I said before, Jinyiwei is not omnipotent, and Beijing City is too big. If these ministers want to make some small means, Zhu Qizhen may not be able to monitor them.

But there is one thing that Zhu Qizhen is very sure of, that is, Yu Qian has no kung fu to participate in it.

As soon as Yu Qian left Beijing, he took people to shuttle on various construction sites, almost everything must be done in person, and he observed the people's feelings. There is very little connection with the capital.

After excluding these people, Zhu Qizhen has very few goals.

The two words Yang Pu naturally broke into Zhu Qizhen's heart.

But what does Yang Pu want to do. Zhu Qizhen couldn't figure it out for a while.

Yang Pu is nothing more than a peep at the position of the first assistant, but Yang Shiqi's position in the cabinet is stable, and Zhu Qizhen doesn't feel that Yang Pu can't be shaken.

It's just that this is a demon wind of fiction and reality. But Zhu Qizhen obviously felt that the efficiency of the imperial court had declined.

Before many things, there was no such thing as a moth. But in the same situation, many of the following opinions were handed over, and even the officials of the six branches also refuted several holy decrees.

Zhu Qizhen just felt novel.

Because the holy decree of the Ming emperor was not supreme, the civil officials had a legitimate reason to refute the holy decree. Even if there is a cabinet drafting, and the official decree that has been printed is also a political risk.

The only thing that doesn't take political risks is that in the six sections, they do this.

But in Zhu Qizhen's impression, the six subjects are very honest in the matter. Since his accession to the throne, he has never refuted any decree drafted by the cabinet.

This is not true.

Zhu Qi Zhengang

I thought there was something wrong with the Holy Decree, but then I found out that it was simply a bone in the chicken feathers.

Yang Shiqi has been the first assistant of the cabinet for nearly 20 years, and if he is caught so easily, he will not be Yang Shiqi.

Zhu Qizhen gave the criminal department to the middle of the matter and traveled to Yunnan.

It can be regarded as an explanation to Yang Shiqi. Only then did the turbulent undercurrents stop for a while and bring the political order back. It's just that Zhu Qizhen felt that this was not necessarily an end, or even just an intermission.

And now such a thing has broken out again.

It is even more in the somewhat chaotic government, adding a variable.

Zhu Qizhen didn't know what to do for a while, so he wanted to find someone to consult, but he thought about it and found out, who could he ask?

The battle between Yang Shiqi and Yang Pu, Zhu Qizhen felt it. How could the two old foxes not know what the other had done?

Zhu Qizhen is not suitable to ask Yang Shiqi or Yang Pu.

Between the two struggles, no one in the cabinet can stay out of the matter.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen can't believe the position between them.

Who made the solar eclipse in ancient Chinese politics was never astronomical, but political. No matter who you ask, it can be shown as Zhu Qizhen's own statement.

Zhu Qizhen thought about it, sighed slightly in his heart, and said secretly: "I can only ask the Queen Mother." ”

The so-called family has an old man, if there is a treasure.

The Empress Dowager gradually put down all the power in her hands, and Zhu Qizhen's closeness to the Empress Dowager increased day by day. Some of the estrangements in my heart also slowly melted.

After all, people are not plants and trees, and they can be ruthless.

And even if you don't talk about feelings, the dynasty rules the world with filial piety, and as an emperor, you should lead by example. Not to mention that Zhu Qizhen has already secured the position of emperor.

Even if the Empress Dowager wanted to abolish Zhu Qizhen, it was impossible.

Zhu Qizhen thought about it and did it.

I walked to Cining Palace.

The Empress Dowager leaned back on the chaise longue and was doing needlework in her hands.

Seeing this, Zhu Qizhen found an embroidery pier, sat down at the feet of the Empress Dowager, put the Empress Dowager's feet on his knees, clenched his fists with both hands and tapped gently, and said, "Niangniang, what are you doing?" It's not that there is an embroidery girl. ”

The Empress Dowager said: "Idle is also idle, preparing for your wedding." ”

Zhu Qizhen pinched the empress dowager's leg and said, "Niangniang, it's a little more comfortable." ”

The Empress Dowager's leg disease is also slowly deteriorating, the Empress Dowager is often sore, when Zhu Qizhen came, she often massaged her for a while, and the Empress Dowager was used to it, and said: "Old, what's the matter with you?" Go ahead. ”

Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "Shengming is just a mother, there is one thing today, and my grandson really doesn't know what to do?" I'm not going to ask my mother. ”
