Chapter 171 Ding Ming

After Zhu Yijun traveled through time, a total solar eclipse occurred in the third year of Wanli. According to the astronomical theory at that time, Zhu Yijun did not argue with anyone, but directly followed the "rescue ceremony" left by Emperor Taizu and rescued the sun.

.

The etiquette of the Ming court to save the sun is as follows: "Before the solar eclipse, the emperor should wear plain clothes to practice government and observe the heavenly commandments. He should wear regular clothes and not visit the main hall. On the day of the solar eclipse, the Qin Tianjian predicted that the emperor should put ribbons on the ceremonial door of the Ministry of Etiquette, and set up an incense table on the terrace in the main hall.

.”

"Set up golden drums facing the sun on both sides of the ceremonial gate, and set up music under the terrace. Officials will worship on the terrace. At the end of the day, all officials will enter the class in court uniforms, sing praises, bow, and make music. They will bow four times, rise, stop, and kneel.

...all the drums are beating in unison, waiting for the reunion...the music stops and the ceremony is completed."

The above is the rescue ceremony of the imperial court. Taizu also stipulated that governments at all levels from the chief envoys to the county should come to such a rescue method. Lunar eclipses often occur at night, and Taizu stipulated that the commanders, envoys, and guards should

Carry out rescue.

Note that this "rescue" is based on the Qintian Prison's forecast. If the Qintian Prison reports an error - well, generally speaking, the Qintian Prison officials will be punished.

There is nothing more important than the commandments of heaven. A solar eclipse is the biggest of the commandments of heaven. Therefore, during the total solar eclipse in the third year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun honestly quit the court and reflected on himself. The officials of the court at that time also

I didn’t make much of a fuss about the total solar eclipse—because the emperor in the third year of Wanli had nothing to say, and all he showed was virtue and governance.

However, the solar eclipse, which was less than half of the fifth year of Wanli, caused a huge backlash from the imperial court. Every civil servant felt that it was closely related to the political incident of deposing Lu Shusheng in March and Wang Yongji's death against the pillar.

When astronomy was not popularized, Zhu Yijun still had to stand upright in front of "God's will", fast, go away from court, reflect on himself a lot, and he and the queen also had to sleep separately for a few days. Of course, things were good and bad, and the imperial staff and demotion were all there.

In the past, even the most stubborn public officials did not dare to let the emperor blame himself - forget it, just criticize a few words, and it is easy to get yourself involved if you overstate your words.

Be polite to the emperor, but you don't need to be so polite to Zhang Juzheng. Many censors and officials aimed at Zhang Juzheng. The censors on the left and right of the Inspectorate could not stop them at this time. After all, the emperor was either the emperor or in power.

It came out that impeaching Zhang Juzheng at this time was to protect the emperor and was absolutely politically correct. Zhang Juzheng also had to criticize himself. Well, whenever there is a disaster, the way to speak is extremely smooth.

Although Zhang Juzheng was alive and well, there was nothing anyone could do about Zhu Yijun. Not only did he stay, he also rewarded Zhang Juzheng several times - letting everyone see clearly that the Prime Minister and the Holy Family are still the same, and that reforms should be carried out, and no one can do it.

Don't take chances.

Zhu Yijun was in Beijing to save the sun, and Zhang Juzheng was impeached again, which was just as it should be. Later, the Zhangde Mansion reported that Zhen had accomplished the great feat of annihilating the "Dingming Puppet Dynasty", but Zhu Yijun couldn't laugh or cry.

...

Xiaotun Village on the south bank of the Huan River in Anyang County, Zhangde Prefecture, Henan Province, although its name is inconspicuous, is still a large village with a population of more than 600. If outsiders come here and see the house and land of the landlord Zhu Shiqiang's family - they will know that this is a big village.

A well-to-do family.

The current head of the Zhu family, Zhu Shiqiang, is forty-two years old today. He has thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high bridge of nose, and thin lips. The key is his two striking ears, which are only two inches apart from his shoulders.

What makes the deceased Zhu Shiqiang's father Zhu Dingwu even more surprised, happy and scared is that his eldest son Zhu Shiqiang is not only tall and tall, with droopy ears and shoulders, but also has a slim figure, with the tips of his middle fingers reaching past his knees. I've heard that

Zhu Dingwu of the Three Kingdoms story thus concluded that his eldest son Zhu Shiqiang had the appearance of an emperor.

However, things are unpredictable. Zhu Dingwu spent half his life secretly mobilizing in the village, and also found several groups of fortune tellers to calculate that Zhu Shiqiang had the appearance of an emperor. The number of villagers who were inspired was less than 30, and all of them were from the same family with a foreign surname.

No one.

Two years ago, Mr. Zhu Dingwu, who had failed to achieve any great things, went to Hexi. When he was about to die, he had a secret conversation with his son and left a legacy. He said that our Zhu family and the emperor's family were all from the same line. According to the seniority, Zhu Shiqiang happened to be this person.

The uncle of the young emperor.

I heard that Zhang Juzheng, the black-faced prime minister of this dynasty, threatened the emperor to order the princes to change the surname of Zhujia Sheji to Zhang. My son is sleeping at home and wearing eggs [Note: Waiting for the day]. Once the world changes, we must take advantage of the situation and establish the name of Sheji.

I am alone and have few people, so I have established a prosperous harem and my own branch. My father has left some soldiers and armor to fight, and they are all buried in the warehouse in the backyard of my family. If you are lucky enough to succeed, just make your father the Emperor of the Martial Arts.

The brainwashed Zhu Shiqiang communicated with tears and promised his father that he would keep the Zhu family's country and never let the old Zhang family usurp it. Once the world changes, he will first raise an army to kill the treacherous ministers, and then let the young emperor make a concession.

This branch receives destiny.

It's a coincidence that the news that shocked the world first came out this spring. The traitor Zhang Juzheng used retreat as a way to advance, and asked the emperor to depose the old master Lu and the official Tianguan who had protected the Ming Dynasty. They were all slapped by the emperor.

There are dozens of loyal ministers. The most hateful thing is that a loyal minister named Wang hit a pillar in the court and failed to wake up the fatuous emperor - he was simply manipulated by powerful ministers!

When Uncle Zhu Huang heard about this, he almost gritted his steel teeth and thought that he would not take action again. However, what made him depressed was that in the village, the treacherous officials were brought into power, and the emperor's stupid reasoning was repeated again and again. As long as the villagers had a mouth to eat.

, just listen to it as a story, it’s useless if the Zhu family’s words are exhausted.

Things turned around suddenly. As the water conservancy project in Zhangde Prefecture gradually deepened, Anyang County deceived the ignorant villagers and violated the emperor's edict to increase the money for river repair. As a result, many small farmers in Xiaotun Village went bankrupt and sold their houses and land.

The situation also began to appear, and Uncle Zhu Huang suddenly won the hearts of the people.

In May, the county arranged for Zhu Shiqiang to be the chief of staff, responsible for the renovation of a section of the river bank in the south of the Huan River. Zhu Shiqiang led the village laborers to continue earthwork work on the bank of the Huan River. Something happened that made the villagers of Xiaotun Village completely believe that Zhu Shiqiang was the emperor.

, the Zhu family actually dug out a ritual vessel on the river bank - a large square tripod full of ancient simplicity!

The unearthing of this large square tripod with four pillars and ears folded along the dragon pattern, which is five feet high and nine feet in circumference, allowed the "Dingming" court to be established in Xiaotun Village that night. After a less solemn enthronement ceremony, Zhu Shiqiang first sealed it

There are many ministers, six ministers and prime ministers.

Then he named his brothers and son as princes, and established the second harem in the world at this time - the widowed daughter-in-law of the Wang family in the village was given the position of concubine.

At the suggestion of Prime Minister Zhu Shiwen, Zhu Shiqiang took the title of "Dingxin" and prepared to start an army to conquer the world. After reorganization, Emperor Dingxin of Xiaotun Village appointed himself as the commander-in-chief, with three generals under him, leading a total of 150 Yulin troops.

Weapons sealed and maintained by oil paper were also dug out from the ground of Zhu Shiqiang's family warehouse: 300 spear heads; ten machetes; and a walking bow - only spear heads, not machetes. I don't know where Emperor Wu got this walking bow.

.

After two days of training in the village, Zhu Shiqiang felt that these few people still had a weak grasp of the county government. How to coerce more people into joining the gang became a new problem for the prime minister and generals.

Therefore, Prime Minister Zhu Shiwen, who had gone to the city to listen to "The Heroes of the Ming Dynasty", once again offered advice. He heard that before Taizu of the puppet dynasty rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty, there was a "one-eyed stone man" in the Yellow River. Although the Ming Dynasty court did not believe it, it could not

Build a stone man?

As a result, Wang Yu, the magistrate of Anyang County, Ma Dianli and others were first shocked, and then overjoyed. Finally, a scene appeared - on the construction site of Xiashui Town, a stone man with red eyes was dug out, with crooked carvings on the back.

A row of big characters reads "False Ming must perish, Ding Ming must stand!"

When Wang Yu, the magistrate of Anyang County, received the report, he initially thought it was over. If thousands of local laborers and "loafing and troublemaking" laborers on the construction site rose up, corruption in the entire county would be inevitable. To his great joy later, the workers

After seeing the birth of the stone man and the disappearance of the supervisor, not only did he not join Zhu Shiqiang in attacking the county government, but they all ran away because of homesickness.

There were also some unclear people who followed Zhu Shiqiang, who was revolting, and the total number was less than 200. Zhu Shiqiang had already set up a flag, and could only walk to the dark side, and with about 300 people, he began to attack the city gate that had been locked.

Anyang County - If he had not tinkered around at the construction site, but instead sneaked into Anyang City directly with the Royal Guards, more than 150 people might have been able to knock down the county government.

Wang Yu, the magistrate of Anyang County, was greedy, but he definitely had enough brains. Looking at the great achievements of killing the rebels who came to his door, the people clamoring around the city wall were all small ladders for promotion - it is not easy for a civil servant to achieve martial arts!

So he organized government officials in the city, arranged for citizens to guard the city walls, and sent people to notify his old partner Liu on the Huanhe River for inspection. The two cooperated internally and externally, and destroyed the "Dingming" puppet dynasty in one fell swoop.
