Chongzhen then asked: "I have asked the household department to summarize the disaster situation of each year, and the Hanlin Yuan has also sorted out the records of the disaster situation of the past dynasties, and it can be delivered before tonight." Do you think there's anything else to refer to? ”

Chen Zilong shook his head: "Your Majesty, because of the different angles of thinking about the problem, that Yiren and I have different choices about whether the information is useful or not. For example, in the case of a disaster in a certain year, the minister usually does not care about the year in which it happened, and even if he does, he only recalls the tools used by people in that period, but does not remember the specific year. The minister was more concerned about the response to the disaster at that time and what the final result was. In order to improve the disaster relief programme and find an effective method. And the alien will obviously pay attention to the year, scale, and how the disaster occurred. Therefore, the information required by the minister is likely to be completely different from that of the stranger. As far as Yichen's current collation of Xu Shi's manuscripts is concerned, the information in his hand is relatively complete, after all, there are not many agricultural books in the past dynasties, and most of Xu Shi has collections. ”

At the end of the afternoon, Song Zhipu, the left attendant of the household department, sent all the information of the year after ten years of Wanli. Song Zhipu was a jinshi in the first year of Chongzhen, and he was the choice of a moment in terms of ability and character. His father, Song Mingwu, was the former imperial history of the left and died in the ninth year of Chongzhen. Song Zhipu should have been worried at home at this time, but the household department was too busy, so Chongzhen could only make an order to win affection. Of course, Chongzhen, an official like him, would not believe it, so he left him to look through the information together, and jointly refer to what questions to ask when communicating with Yiren.

At the end of the Shen period, Fu Guan, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, brought people to bring three boxes of books. Fu Guan handed over a fold: "Your Majesty, these three boxes are all records related to the disaster, and the titles of the books are all recorded in the folds. The first box is all the records related to the disaster in the 21st History. The 21st History is a biographical history book, most of the disaster records are in the 'Book Chronicle', the 'Historical Table' has records of major disasters, and there are also some biographies of people who have a significant impact on the disaster situation, of course, there are also disaster introductions. The second box is the part of the chronicle such as the "Zizhi Tongkan" that contains records of major disasters. Among them, there are records of disasters in the late Han Dynasty and the Sui and Tang dynasties, which His Majesty emphasized. The third box is a record of the disaster in non-historical books such as "Qi Min Yaoshu". For example, there are some records of how to fight drought at that time in "Qi Min Yaoshu", but "Qi Min Yaoshu" was written early, and I don't know how much reference there is today, but "Nongsang Jiyao" was written more recently, which may be more helpful. ”

Chongzhen was stunned, he hadn't said it yet, how did Fu Guan know about the disaster, could it be that the news leaked out so quickly? Busy asking: "What are you looking for books related to drought fighting?" ”

Fu Guan didn't know that he was already suspected of investigating the guilt of the secret, and he was not surprised by Chongzhen's question, and said: "The minister saw that His Majesty planned to spread the cause of the disaster to the world, so of course when it was transmitted, it was not only possible to talk about how the disaster occurred, but also how to deal with the disaster, so he took it upon himself to move these books over." ”

Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about it, this disaster prediction is only known by more than a dozen people in this house after watching the twists and turns, only Cao Huachun has left this neighborhood, and he is not talkative, he must not even tell Luo Yangxing, let alone a few little eunuchs who went to find people, and there is no possibility of leaking the news. This is also what Chen Zilong explained when he said that he lived in Xu Mansion before, otherwise the little eunuch who was sent out to find Chen Zilong first, but came back very late, would be very suspicious of leaking secrets. Of course, the little eunuch who went to the Hanlin Academy to find Wu Weiye was even more suspicious to see Fu Guan.

relieved his doubts, and then thought that this Fu Guan's work was really beautiful, he did what I asked, and he could think of it if I didn't mention it, it was really reliable. He didn't know that Fu Guan was first-class reliable when he didn't see wine, but once he saw wine, it was hard to say.

Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction and encouraged Fu Guan: "Qing did a good job and was quite prescient. If you look at this, you will know that you have a lot of credit for finding good information in advance. As he spoke, he motioned to show Chen Hongmi's recital to Fu Guan.

Fu Guan didn't drink now, his mind was clear, and when he saw the prediction of the disaster, he immediately understood what Chongzhen suspected when he asked just now, and the cold sweat immediately came down, if the answer just now was not a little satisfactory to Chongzhen, it would not be a reward now, but Jinyiwei would take him down for interrogation, asking himself why, and how to investigate the cabinet secrets.

Chongzhen saw Fu Guan's cold sweat, and he no longer had any doubts in his heart, knowing that Fu Guan didn't know before. After Fu Guan finished reading the recital, he said: "I and Zhuqing are also looking for relevant information, you can sort out so much in advance, which saves everyone a lot of time." You can also help look up the information together, and think about what questions to ask the stranger. ”

Fu Guan knew that there was no problem with him, the emperor didn't doubt himself, and secretly complained about himself in his heart, and after handing it back, he also joined the team to check the information.

Everyone was busy in Wenhua Pavilion until the beginning of the day, and finally sorted out what questions to ask Yiren, Wu Weiye also wrote down all the historical materials that needed to be recorded, the eunuchs had already prepared the bedding, and all the ministers present tonight, regardless of their grade, were resting in the side hall and not letting them go.

At the beginning of the next day, Chongzhen led Wang Chengen, took Wu Weiye and Chen Zilong, and embarked on the road to the south under the escort of Gao Wencai, a thousand households of Jinyi Wei, with five small banners of Jinyi Wei. Everyone has a path of identity that Luo Yang is ready for. The certificate produced by Jin Yiwei is obviously a "real certificate", but it is just an empty ID card prepared in advance, and the name and identity are well documented, but there is no such person. As long as you don't know the person with the certificate, no matter how you check, it is impossible to find out that this road guide is fake.

Chongzhen's new identity is the eighth grandson of the branch of King Zhou, Zhu Zaikeng, although he is a clan, he is far from inheriting his own title, and he can only be seen from the name that he is a child of the clan. Judging from the name, this Zhu Zaikeng is two generations higher than the two brothers of Tianqi Chongzhen, but in the feudal era of the inheritance of the elders, the children with the younger generation and the higher rank will obviously not be the eldest line, so the more this is the case, the farther away from the inheritance right.

A sufficiently remote clan disciple like this is no longer restricted from entering and leaving the capital, but there are Jinyi Wei secret agents secretly following around, not only will it not arouse suspicion, but it is the right thing to do. In this way, it is convenient for Jinyiwei to follow and protect secretly. This identity was originally prepared for the emperor's micro-clothes, and Zhengde often went out of the palace in micro-clothes, and Jinyiwei had no way to fulfill his duty to protect the emperor, so he had to come up with this idea. Such an identity not only hides the identity of the emperor, but also explains why there are Jinyi guards following in secret, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. Later, when each prince and grandson was born, Jin Yiwei forged the identity of a remote senior who was born in the same year in order to protect it.
