Pei Cai wanted to order Yu Xi to revise the calendar, but Yu Xi refused on the grounds that this matter was not something that Xingtai could do, in this regard, Pei Gai smiled and said: "Xingtai has no right to repair the calendar, but the state does not prohibit private calendars." If Qing can revise the old calendar, or even change the new calendar, and guide the agricultural time in Guanzhong, I will naturally play tomorrow and use the Qing calendar. After a pause, he said: "Besides, when I was promoted to Zhaoji, I didn't make a clear correction......

According to Confucian research—in fact, it is a secondary order—that since ancient times, it has been necessary to correct Shuo, in other words, to rewrite the calendar.

It is said that the Xia Dynasty used the Xia calendar, Jianyin, that is, January as the first month, as the beginning of the year; The Shang Dynasty used the Yin calendar to build the ugly - with December as the first year; The Zhou Dynasty used the Zhou calendar, Jianzi - with November as the beginning of the year.

In fact, the change of dynasty is necessary to correct Shuo, which is estimated to be the result of some theories of the Yin and Yang family and Fangshi in the Warring States Period after being absorbed by Confucianism, so the first to officially correct Shuo because of this theory was actually the Qin Dynasty. Qin used the Zhuan calendar, Jianhai, that is, October as the beginning of the year, named Duanyue (to avoid the beginning of the emperor's political secrets).

Xiang Yu of Western Chu did not engage in similar tricks—or did so, but the matter was not passed on to the world—and it was not until the Han Dynasty unified the world that it was corrected and re-established according to the request of the Confucian scholars, that is, following the example of the Xia Dynasty. It's just that Gaozu Liu Bang and most of the people who followed him to fight the world were rough people, and they were not allowed to be reused at the beginning of Confucianism, and there were no suitable astronomical calendar talents, so they still used the Qin Dynasty's calendar.

The relevant theories, the Confucian scholars were also gradually perfected, and Dong Zhongshu was finally basically completed, so the Western Han Dynasty to the early years of Emperor Wu was the new "Taichu Calendar" and promulgated in the world. After the change of dynasty, it was time for Wang Mang to appear on the stage, Wang Jujun himself is a great Confucian, and there is a pedantic national teacher Liu Xin and Liu Zijun by his side, of course, he must do this Zen thing thoroughly. Therefore, after Wang Mang became the Han Dynasty, he "corrected Shuo, changed the color of clothes, changed sacrifices, special emblems and banners, and made the new weapon system, and took December Shuo as the first month of the first year of the founding of the People's Republic of China...... "imitated the Shang Dynasty and built the ugly - as for whether there is a new calendar, there is no record in history.

According to Dong Zhongshu, in ancient times, Zhengshuo was divided into black, white, and red, and Yu Li corresponded to Jianyin, Jianchou and Jianzi - Jianhai of the Qin Dynasty, which was completely foolish, so the country was not long. It's just that you don't need to be the first month of the year, and it feels strange that since the restoration of the Eastern Han Dynasty in China, most of the time it still uses Jianyin-the calendar of the past dynasties, until today's lunar calendar, will also be collectively called the "summer calendar".

Therefore, after Cao Wei and the Han Dynasty, he still used the Eastern Han Dynasty's "Four-Minute Calendar" and Jianyin, and did not correct Shuo.

It wasn't until Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming ascended the throne that Xiao Young suddenly remembered this matter again, so after repeated consultations with his ministers, he immediately abandoned the "Four-Minute Calendar" and officially promulgated the "Jingchu Calendar" - mainly after the "Four-Minute Calendar" has been running for more than a hundred years, the deviation has become larger and larger, and it has affected the agricultural time - and changed to Jianchou, that is, November is the first month.

is still the same thing, it is really troublesome not to start with January, so within a few years, it was changed back to Jianyin. However, after such a toss, scholars have risen up to revise the old theory, for example, Wang Su advocated that the Xia, Yin, and Zhou dynasties should correct each other, but it was only a temporary expedient measure, and the previous Xia dynasties - including the legendary Yan Huang, Zhuan Xu, Yao Shun and the like - were all used Jianyin. Therefore, the Sima family, who was inclined to Wang Xue, did not change Zhengshuo after usurping Wei.

Therefore, Pei Gai wanted to make a calendar today, and said casually: "When I was promoted to Zhaoji, I did not make a clear correction. Originally, it was just a reason to make up for himself, but the speaker had no intention, and the listener had the intention......

Yu Xi is a smart person, and smart people will inevitably make up their brains. In his mind, it turned out that Da Sima meant this...... The Jin Dynasty was built and did not correct Shuo, so it was similar to the Qin Dynasty, with many disasters and difficulties, and it almost broke the roots, which shows that Zhengshuo should be changed. Thinking deeper, the so-called correction of Shuo is an expedient measure, and the most orthodox should also be Jianyin Yunyun, which is Wang Su's proposition, and I heard that Da Sima reused Dong Jingdao in Guanzhong, and he was more inclined to Zheng Xue...... Is he planning to completely defeat Wang Xue by correcting Shuo?

With Pei Da Sima's current authority, once he stands up and says that what Wang Su said is wrong, we should correct Shuo, I believe that most of the courtiers will not stand up and resolutely oppose - especially the country is almost overthrown, if this responsibility is put on the dead Wang Su, it is because he is vain about the classics, not that the ancestors are immoral and the ministers are unplanned, how simple and convenient it is, and how easy and convenient it is to hear - then my new calendar will not be able to be promulgated in the world? The theory of "precession" is no longer my secret alone, but will become the general theory of scholars!

Thinking of this, he immediately bowed his head and said, "If there is really no one in Guanzhong who cultivates the calendar, I am willing to accept the order of the Great Sima." ”

Pei Gai finally persuaded Yu Xi and couldn't help but feel very relieved.

In fact, he doesn't care whether he changes it or not, which month is the first month, and as for whether the new calendar is made, it is also between the two - after all, the "Jingchu Calendar" has been used for less than a hundred years, and the deviation is still within an acceptable range, and it is estimated that it can run smoothly for at least another fifty or sixty or even a hundred years - but it is not easy to see a scientist in this life, how can he be willing to let him go wild, instead of catching it, supporting, funding, and even guiding his research?

However, the Jin Dynasty's research on the astronomical calendar, the post was in Taishi, and it belonged to Taichang, one of the nine Qings, but there was no corresponding institution in Guanzhong Xingtai, and it was inconvenient to create a new institution to be responsible for revising the calendar. So Pei Gai ordered Guo Pu to be the chief of the Wen Shi Pei Wei, planning to temporarily place Yu Xi under the Ministry of Civil Affairs, allocate funds to him, arrange assistants, and study the celestial phenomena and calendars.

This was purely a slap on the head, and he came up with an idea temporarily, but Pei Wei didn't stumble and passed it immediately. However, in the eyes of Pei Wei, Pei Cui, and even Xun Song and others, Da Sima actually wanted to change the calendar...... Then his heart can be known without asking!

——————————

Xun Song was busy preparing for the marriage of Mao'er and Yang Qing, and Pei Gai also ordered soon after, with the previous refusal to break Qinshui, Yang Qing was promoted to captain, and ordered him to replace Chen An as the deputy of the cardinal Peng Guo Mo. Xun Song still felt that it was not enough, so he asked the old officials of the court to make an edict and worship Yang Qing as a general.

Seeing that the wedding date was about to expire, suddenly Liu Kui came to Chang'an.

Liu Dalian originally planned to go to Luoyang first, but after thinking about it again, Wang Dun held Sima Rui's order to call troops and the letter of dismissal of himself and Diao Xie, and his actions were magnificent, and it was estimated that this case might not be able to win...... Especially after he crossed the river, he fled to Kaiyang first, and attached himself to Bian Yan, the assassin of Xuzhou, after Bian Wangzhi's analysis, he also felt that as far as the current situation is concerned, you can only swallow this bitter water at home......

So Liu Kui immediately asked Bian Yan to send someone to escort him and sent him all the way to Chang'an, so that he could cry to Pei Gai.

When Pei Cai heard that Liu Kui had arrived, he immediately summoned him, and then regardless of Liu Dalian kneeling in front of him crying and wiping away tears, he first reprimanded: "Dalian, you and others are too careful, how can you have no soldiers and want to take away people's servants?" Today's disaster is really self-inflicted! ”

Liu Kui hurriedly defended: "Da Sima is in Chang'an, and Yu Jiangzuo may not be familiar with political affairs. Today, the wealthy family is getting bigger and bigger, and it is almost difficult for the Danyang King to get out of the Jiankang Palace. And the northern overseas Chinese and the southern raccoon dogs, wantonly seize the land, force the good to be slaves, Jiankang has almost no available soldiers, and the treasury is empty.

"At this time, if he is released one day later, Jiang Zuo's illness will become more serious, lest it will be difficult to govern in Jiangnan after the imperial court settles on the northern frontier in the future...... Therefore, we are willing to take risks and implement this good government, thinking that the imperial court will win the hearts of the people, organize the fields and household registration, and collect taxes. If this is not the case today, perhaps in the future, Da Sima will only be able to send troops to cross the river and collect Jiangnan! ”

Pei should listen to what Liu Dalian said, and there is a certain amount of truth. How about Jiangnan, he originally didn't pay much attention to it, as long as you don't come to pull me back, after I pacify the thieves and unify the Central Plains, I can free up my hands to deal with the problem of Jiangnan. But as Liu Kui said, if a person is infected with scabies, his situation is becoming more and more dangerous, and he is afraid that he will not be able to survive and rush to the house, so he will have to swallow his breath...... Could it be that in the future, he can only solve the problem by sending troops across the river to the south and killing people as he said? After all, they are all compatriots, how can they bear to be so ruthless?

After a little silence, I heard Liu Kui say again: "Diao Xuanliang is really serious, but he asked him to go to the six states to release the government of servants, and it was I who finally dissuaded him." Originally, it was hoped that this good government would be implemented in Danyang first, and tens of thousands of servants, slaves and maids could be released in one year, and five or six thousand soldiers could be selected among them.

"And in Danyang, there are not many wealthy families, and there are only three or five families such as Ji (Zhan) and Xue (concurrently), although the reputation is respectful, the force is not strong; The properties purchased by other Nandu overseas Chinese such as Wang and Zhou in the country are just a drop in the bucket. If the king of Danyang sits in Jiankang, he will be released in China, and the resistance may not be great......

"Since the beginning of Danyang, the first release of the servants and the acquisition of soldiers, and the increase of taxes, it is expected to be implemented to Wu County, Wu Xingguo and other places in the next year. If you make such a slow progress, you can expect to succeed...... Who would have thought that the decree had not yet been issued to Wu Xing, and Zhou and Shen had brazenly raised the anti-flag ......"

Pei Gai shook his head lightly: "Since Qing and the others have killed chickens, how can monkeys not be shocked?" After a pause, he said: "And I thought that this must be the king of Zhong Zhongqing and others who have been in charge of Jiankang for a long time, so they took this opportunity to order Shen Chong to incite Zhou Za to create an opportunity for his troops to enter Jiankang!" ”

Liu Kui sobbed and said: "I have been thinking about it many times recently, and I have already made this clear...... Who would have thought that Wang Chuzhong would be so rebellious that he would dare to send troops to blackmail the king of Danyang! ”

Pei Gai smiled bitterly: "Qing and the others don't know the sinister world, but still think that Wang Chuzhong is a gentle person like Maohong?" And that is, Wang Maohong, since Qing and others have harmed the interests of their family, even if they only account for one-tenth of their industry, they will never give up with Qing and others! Qing and the others made a mistake, they should have been perfunctory and restrained Wang Maohong and others, and the servants who first ordered the release of the southern people would have received little resistance, even if Zhou and Shen suddenly rebelled, Wang Chuzhong might not be able to provide them with Olympic aid......"

Liu Kui was speechless, but just kowtowed and said: "What Da Sima said is true, we are really careless, and even the King of Danyang has been affected, and I am ashamed of Da Sima's trust...... It is hoped that the Great Sima will punish Wang Chuzhong, relieve the danger of the King of Danyang, and clarify the politics of Jiangnan. ”

Pei Gai shook his head: "Dalian, Qing should also know that this is not the time." The state uses troops in the north, how can there be time to punish the Langya Wang family? And this time, Wang Chuzhong has the order of King Danyang to transfer troops, which is magnificent, and even the court has no way to blame it...... "Seeing that Liu Kui had a lot of tears and snot, it was pitiful, so he gently comforted: "However, don't worry, just wait for the thieves to be eliminated, the court will sort out the politics of Jiangnan, and the Qing and Diao Xuanliang will be rehabilitated one day." ”

Liu Kui thanked him repeatedly. Pei should ask: "What are Zeqing's plans in the future?" ”

Liu Kui said: "I wanted to go to Luoyang and appeal to the imperial court, but as Da Sima said, it was not the right time. I can only live in Chang'an for the time being, leaving this remnant body to avenge Diao Xuanliang in the future...... I also hope that Da Sima will have mercy and be included. ”

In fact, Pei Gai originally did not have a very good impression of Liu Kui, because in history, Sima Rui and his son had the ambition to cheer up, but unfortunately they didn't know anyone, first used Diao, Liu, and then Yu Liang...... He previously supported Liu Kui, in fact, the main purpose was to weaken the authority of the Langya Wang clan, and it was best for the two factions of the Jiangzuo regime to fight endlessly, so that he would no longer come to restrain himself from acting in the north.

So for Liu Kui, it's pure use. But listening to what the other party said today, he is not as ambitious and talented as Diao Xie, but he is a stubborn and impetuous person, and he has a lot of hills and valleys in his chest. To tell the truth, this failure was purely pulled back by Diao Xie, plus the strength of the Wang family is very strong, with the strength of a few scholars, it is indeed difficult to shake.

In this case, Liu Kui seems to be quite useful—at least he has experience in ruling the local government, which is much better than some unknown people newly recruited from Kansai. So he soothed with good words, that is, Liu Kui was kept by his side, and tried to create a similar Xingtai organization like Menxia Province as Pei Wei said.

Of course, its name cannot be called a subordinate, nor can its office be called a station or a province. According to the old practice, the princes and those who opened the government and added troops were placed under the curtain with one Changshi, one Sima, two Zhonglang, and one chief bookkeeper and one superintendent...... It is to be the chief secretary of the party, and the secretary of the superintendent of the record, but the two are combined, the latter is in charge of the drafting and promulgation of government decrees, and the former is in charge of the examination and approval of the upper and lower government and performance.

This is a later remark, so I won't mention it for the time being, and said that when Pei Gai included Liu Kui, he also comforted him and said: "Wang Chuzhong thinks that the court has no time to look south, and he can act recklessly, but I must not do what he wants......"

Because at the beginning of learning of the incident, Pei Gai satirized the Luoyang court, issued an edict to Jiankang, and defined the matter, saying that Zhou and Shen conspired to rebel, and the crime was unforgivable, and asked Wang Dun to be sure to punish Zhou Za and Shen Chongming canonically and pass them to Luoyang.

By the time the edict came to Jiankang, the incident had basically ended. After Wang Dun entered Jiankang and removed Diao and Liu, he ordered Qian Feng to go to the rebels, pardon Zhou and Shen, and order them to retreat. Originally, the matter could have ended perfectly, but the imperial court actually wanted Zhou Za and Shen Chong's heads......
