Zhu Yuanzhang strictly forbade astronomy, but anyone who had a private scholar was sent to war, and those who dared to teach were executed. Only the officials of the Qin Heavenly Prison were allowed to practice this way, and they were ordered to 'never move, and their descendants were only allowed to learn astronomical calculations, and not to learn other karma', in order to prevent others from peeking on the will of heaven, spreading astronomy, and taking the opportunity to disturb the country.

The reason why it is so strictly guarded is because Boss Zhu really believes in this thing.

And we know that the reason why most successful people believe in metaphysics is because their success is originally metaphysics.

Boss Zhu, who started half a bowl, is especially so.

And at the important juncture of his successful road, he is also inseparable from the company of metaphysics.

Before the battle of Poyang Lake, Zhu Yuanzhang was undecided, whether to fight Chen Youliang in a decisive battle. It was Liu Ji who told him:

'Yesterday's observation of the celestial phenomena, Venus in front, Mars in the back, this division is a sign of victory, may the Lord obey the heavens and people, and hang the felling as soon as possible. ’

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and said: "I also watch the sky at night, just as Eryan said. ’

So he ordered the army to march and fight to the death with Chen Youliang.

In November of the first year of Wu, 'the two stars of gold and fire will be divided into ugly, and the fire will chase gold and Qilu in the future', and Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Liu Jizhan to say, 'It is advisable to show the might of the army'. So, Zhu Yuanzhang instructed Xu Da's Northern Expedition army to go north from Jianghuai and conquer Shandong.

~~

"So, Master, did you use the celestial phenomena to help my father make up his mind both times?" Amid the sound of cicadas, the sixth asked.

"Let's just put it that way." Liu Bowen slowly bowed his head and said: "In the battle of Poyang Lake, our army is enemy on the left and right, and there is no choice but to fight against the water. The lord is a genius, and he naturally knows this, but he is worried that Zhang Shicheng's troops will take the opportunity to sneak attack Yingtian, so he is undecided. The old man just took advantage of the situation and pushed him. ”

"The Battle of the Northern Expedition is a different situation, the Yuan Dynasty still has a huge army, but the people's hearts are broken, and there is no will to fight. Under such circumstances, it is advisable for our army to fight a quick battle and make a quick decision and go straight to the capital. As long as Emperor Yuan Shun is forced to hunt in the north, the Yuan army in the mainland will collapse without a fight, and Wang Baobao will also lack the skills to return to heaven.

"On the contrary, if we fight steadily and let the other side settle down, we will fall into a bitter battle, and if we want to completely expel the Tartars, we don't know what year and month we will wait." Liu Bowen said lightly: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the fighter plane is fleeting, so the old man naturally has to use all means to persuade your father to show his might." ”

"Understood." Zhu Zhen was taught: "The celestial phenomena are the heart of the heavens. Those who interpret the celestial phenomena are interpreting the will of heaven. An authoritative expert like Master is the spokesperson of God. ”

He didn't say any more, but the implication was clear...... Just like the king of the east is to the king of heaven. You don't know which of his words is really speaking on behalf of the sky, and which sentence is carrying private goods.

"That's right." Liu Bowen twisted his beard and smiled: "The son can be taught." ”

"The trouble is that authoritative experts can't monopolize the right to speak, and the rest of the gods, big and small, will also give conclusions that are in line with their own positions according to their own minds." Zhu Zhen sighed and asked:

"I wonder how they will interpret it this time?"

"It's nothing more than a separation, an empty seal, and a clear seal." Liu Bowen's eyes were clear, and he knew it in his chest.

The star change in June of the ninth year of Hongwu lasted for an incomparably long time. The star streaked through the purple wall for forty-eight days.

By the time it disappears, the autumn leaves are already yellowing......

Such an obvious and long-lasting star change, and it was in the airspace representing the Son of Heaven, naturally caused Boss Zhu to be extremely uneasy, and he had to fast for a whole month to reflect on his sins to the sky.

At the same time, the officials of the Qin Heavenly Prison were ordered to study the astrological signs attentively and reveal the warnings from the heavens. However, whether it is his own conclusion based on the heavenly documents, or the report of Qin Tianjian, or the statements of Song Lian and other great Confucians, they all point to this as a sign of a great calamity for the country, or an injustice in the world.

So on the ninth Double Ninth Day of the ninth month of September, Zhu Yuanzhang had to issue an edict to condemn himself, and asked people from all over the world to write to the imperial court, point out political gains and losses or injustices, and make criticisms or suggestions.

As soon as he saw this edict, Liu Bowen sighed to his disciple and said, "After all, my father didn't hold on, and he was still crushed by chaos. It can be seen that the stronger the more vulnerable, the saying that it is not wrong to put it in Emperor Hongwu. ”

Zhu Zhen nodded with a gloomy face, his father's legislation was too strict, and the punishment was too harsh, especially a Wei Guan Gao Qi case, a Hongwu immigration, and this year's empty seal case, which offended too many people. I don't know how many people hate him to the core.

On weekdays, those who hated him to the core, forced by his harsh punishment, did not dare to speak up. Now he actually took the initiative to ask people to point out his mistakes, isn't that what those people want?

Zhu Zhen can already foresee what will happen next......

Sure enough, in just one month, Zhongshu Province received thousands of copies of "Feng Zhao Chen Yanshu".

The officials of Zhongshu Province were about to unpack these notes according to the usual practice, but they were stopped by Hu Weiyong, the prime minister of Zuo:

"Bold, the emperor clearly ordered people to speak up and speak out! How can we go beyond the box and watch these songs for the emperor. ”

"Yes, Xiangye." The officials of Zhongshu Province put all these notes back in the box.

"Affix the seal and send it to the Wuying Palace." Hu Weiyong ordered again.

"Yes."

Seeing his subordinates carry all those pieces out, Hu Weiyong turned around and entered the duty room.

"Xiangye." Zhongshu Zuo Cheng Ding Yu followed in, closed the door of the duty room and said, "This is not appropriate, right?" ”

"What's wrong?" Hu Weiyong sat behind the bookcase, and did not raise his head while flipping through the chapters.

"There must be a lot of ...... in it," Ding Yu swallowed and said, "What a reckless recklessness to bully the king!" ”

"So what?" Hu Weiyong said lightly: "It was the emperor himself who decreed that 'speak out, and those who speak are not guilty', even if it is a little excessive, it is also the atmosphere of governing the world." ”

After a pause, he glanced up at Ding Yudao; "Or does Ding Xiang feel that the emperor doesn't have the temperament of Tang Taizong?"

Ding Yuxin said that isn't nonsense. He could only shake his head and say, "Xiangye, you know me, you don't mean that." ”

"And what do you mean?" Hu Weiyong asked for a long time.

"I'm just worried, annoying the emperor, let's eat and hang." Ding Yu had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Hahaha." Hu Weiyong laughed and put down his pen, got up and patted Ding Yu's shoulder and said, "First, the sky is falling, and it is high." This hangs down to eat it, and it is not the turn of Ding Xiang to be unlucky. ”

"Yes...... yes" Ding Yu hurriedly smiled: "But the humble duty feels sorry for the graceful minister, the grace suffers, and the humble duty is ten times more uncomfortable than his own suffering." ”

"Hahahaha, thank you Ding for your concern." Hu Weiyong laughed again, he seemed to see his past self from this person.

"But as a prime minister, you can't be evil. When it is time to let the emperor know that the hearts of the people are back, he can't take too much care of himself. Otherwise, how can the emperor hear the truth? ”
