I'm really not the carpenter emperor

"But this servant feels that the matter of Wang Wenyan is a big case. We should deal with it as soon as possible and not relax. Let's see how many shady things are still hidden inside."

Zhu Youxiao accepted the smile, got up and said:

"The factory minister took the trouble to handle the case of Wang Wenyan and the Xiusan Palace together. I can rest assured of you."

For some reason, Wei Zhongxian's heart tightened, but his face remained motionless, and he shouted:

"My servant respectfully sends His Majesty back to the palace!"

Chapter 166 Renxu Calendar

Wei Zhongxian won the job of the Three Great Halls, and then took advantage of Wang Wenyan's case to implicate Li Ruoxing, the governor of Hexi.

Judging from what he meant, he wanted to make the Wang Wenyan case a major case comparable to the three major cases.

Many people don't understand that the treasury of the Ming Dynasty has long been empty, and Wei Zhongxian urged the emperor to start such a big project. Can the capital turnover come over?

The Eunuch Party worked so hard, but the Donglin Party members could only stare, doing nothing, and had no way to restrain them.

As soon as the first issue of "Beijing News" was published, it caused an upsurge across the country, and their position in public opinion was also impacted.

The right to public opinion is the foundation of the Donglin Party. When the foundation is shaken, the Donglin Party members don't care about anything else, and start running around, contacting like-minded people, and forming associations to protect themselves.

All of a sudden, Yunjian Jishe, Xiangshantongshe, Zhexi Wenshe, and other folk literary societies sprung up one after another.

This day is the day when the Ming court promulgated the calendar for that year.

For the people everywhere, this is a big day, they are all waiting for food, waiting for the coming of the new calendar.

On such an important occasion, Zhu Youxiao personally issued the calendar in accordance with the usual practice.

"The ministers see the emperor's long live, long live——"

The civil servants were led by the chief assistant of the cabinet, Han Yu, while Wu Xun followed behind the British Duke Zhang Weixian, and entered the palace in order to congratulate him, shouting long live.

Zhu Youxiao loves and hates this kind of occasion.

What I love is this kind of feeling that I am the only one in heaven and earth. Don't be too happy. What I hate is that nothing will be really dealt with at the court meeting.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjiao sat down in distress and waved his hand to read out the imperial edict.

Wang Chaofu, the steward of the Qianqing Palace, was on the sidelines. Hearing this, he took out a golden scroll from the exquisite small box, spread it out in mid-air, and said sharply:

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said:

Since ancient times, the emperors have always respected the sky and worked hard for the people. I have taught my ancestors and recited the Dharma of Yao and Shun. I have read this very earnestly.

Since the practice of Zuo, only God's blessing is Lai, and the people's living is food.But in the spring of this year, the disasters are still frequent, and the drought is even worse, so it is again subject to haze, rain, day and night, and continuous vibration.

I have sincerely prayed in the palace, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites also led their subordinates to pray sincerely, each with sincerity, fasting to the more, and looking up to the heavens as a warning, and don't use empty words to cover up the responsibility.

I think that the water and drought in Yao's soup are not enough to damage Zhilong's rule, but the king and his ministers should be a warning to the heaven of benevolence.

Those who share weal and woe with me are the ministers of the humerus, and the civil and military officials at home and abroad also occupy the heavenly position and take on the celestial duties. Those who share my honor as if they are in the sky, each should look up to my bosom, honor the common duty, donate the old habit of playing, A new picture of Diligence.

In order to turn disasters into blessings, Liangyi was laid down, a hundred grains were abundant, food was not difficult, and the room was decorated with Xu Qing, so as to show the fear of the sky and the vigilance, and transfer the hearts of the common people.

That is to say, the Renxu calendar will be promulgated in the second year of Tianqi!This is it. "

After the calendar was issued, Zhu Youxiao led hundreds of officials to "Shixiang" Taimiao, and a group of people left the hall in a mighty manner.

"Shixiang" Taimiao, to put it bluntly, is a grand ceremony for worshiping ancestors. The calendar is issued every year, and Mengchun, Mengxia, Mengqiu and Mengdong are held once, and the emperor must personally preside over it.

Accompanied by the sound of Shaoyue, Zhu Youxiao, who was wearing a crown, raised the wine bottle and offered three times to the throne of the ancestors of the emperors. Every time he bowed, all the civil and military officials behind him also saluted like a ritual.

Just when the emperor was serving wine for the third time, Wei Guangwei hurried over and staggered into the class.

He immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Wei Guangwei is a member of the Donglin Party, and his father Wei Yunzhen is quite prestigious in the Donglin. At the end of last year in the Donglin meeting, he strongly suggested that Zhao Nanxing should be sealed by the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

However, for some reason today, all the officials were still sleeping soundly at home when they went up to the palace to shout.

At this moment, the sacrificial ceremony was about to end, and Wei Guangwei came late, even the officials of the same Donglin were panicked and indignant at his behavior.

After Zhu Youxiao respectfully sacrificed the last one to the emperor's ancestor, he glanced at him coldly, turned and left without saying anything.

Civil and military officials followed the emperor to salute the ancestors of the emperors, Wei Guangwei did not stand or retreat, so he had to follow in a funny way.

He wished he could get into the cracks in the ground, his whole body was full of embarrassment.

Seeing this scene, Wei Zhongxian also found it interesting.

In his opinion, the Donglin Party has always paid attention to reputation, and let the governor wait quietly to see how they will solve this kind of thing.

Is it to cover up the party, or to kill the donkey.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian laughed presumptuously from the sidelines, feeling a bit like adding insult to injury and watching the excitement is not a big deal.

Seeing that the emperor had already left, he waved his hand again, led Fan Zi and the imperial guards to shake the banner, and followed the emperor with great fanfare.

Zhu Youxiao forgot about this matter and didn't take it to heart, but for the Donglin party members, this was a great shame.

For Wei Guangwei himself, it can even be said to be a disaster.

Some people may ask, but if you oversleep once, will your life be ruined?

Now is not the future, this is Daming!

Not to mention being late at the juncture of promulgating the new calendar and offering sacrifices to the ancestors and Taimiao, even if you are late for the court meeting on weekdays, you will lose your face if you suffer from the court staff, and you will lose the black veil on your head if you are serious.

Sitting back in his seat, Zhu Youxiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This time the calendar can be promulgated as scheduled. It is said that a foreigner has made great contributions?"

"Yes." Wei Zhongxian withdrew his smile and said respectfully:

"This man's name is Tang Ruowang, and he is a Frang machine. Last year, the imperial court bought cannons from the Frang machine foundry in Haojing. He came with him."

At this time, Macau was commonplace, and it was not a prosperous place to be contested at all, so it was called "Hao Mirror".

"Master..." Seeing that the emperor was thinking about something, Wei Zhongxian took two steps forward and said softly:

"This guy is called Tang Ruowang. Not only is he proficient in astronomy and calendar, he is also a master of military weapons. Even Song Yingxing is full of praise for him."

"Tomorrow he is going back to Haojing Cannon Factory. Is this man really planning to let him go back?"

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao walked out of his thoughts and said with a smile:

"Why, could it be that even Tang Ruowang gave you a gift from the factory minister, and wants to serve in the Ming court?"

"Oh, how can there be—!"

Wei Zhongxian waved his hands again and again, and said awkwardly: "It's not that the master doesn't know that, even if the slaves accept the gift, the recommendation in the cabinet is still based on their ability."

"I'll just say it casually, you don't have to be nervous." Zhu Youxiao raised the corner of his mouth and said, "What does the factory official mean about this Tang Ruowang?"

"Master, we've never seen all the items on this Francophone, not to mention he is proficient in military weapons and calendars, let alone put them back."

"With such a talent, if you don't keep him to serve the court, it's better to let the servants intercept and kill him on the way!"

"Is it so important?" Zhu Youxiao knew it well, but deliberately laughed, and said:

"Since the factory official said that Tang Ruowang is quite talented in astronomy and calendar, let him go to Qin Tianjian and take a part-time job."

"Call someone to tell him that Hao Jing doesn't have to go back. Now that he has arrived in the capital, he can stay and show what he has learned. Being an official in Daming is no worse than being in Frangji!"

Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed, as if keeping Tang Ruowang would be of great benefit to him, he cupped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty Shengming."

In fact, what is good for Daming is not good for him, the so-called eunuch leader.

……

The Renxu calendar was promulgated in the second year of Tianqi. As soon as the news spread, the people who heard it were all relieved.

Mengchun has arrived, and the new calendar has been issued to the people. Farmers all over the country are looking at the new calendar, and they are happy to start preparing for the resumption of farming.

The imperial edict was published in the "Beijing News" soon, and the believers were very happy to see it. The emperor was willing to act, and led all the officials to preside over the sacrificial ceremony in person. It seemed that the second year of the apocalypse would be a bumper year.

On the second day after the ceremony, Zhu You received a memorial filled with righteous indignation on the table.

However, Wei Dazhong, the official of the department, impeached Wei Guangwei, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, who was also from Donglin, because he was late for the sacrificial ceremony.

Chapter 167 Wei Guangwei's Predicament

Wei Dazhong, who is also a member of the Donglin Party, impeached Wei Guangwei, which caused a great disturbance among the Donglin Party members, and even Han Yu, the chief assistant of the cabinet, couldn't stand it anymore.

Now Han Yu is not only the leader of Donglin, but also the leader of the moderate faction in Donglin. He never suggested to have a bloody collision with the eunuchs who are in the limelight.

Huang Zunsu and Han Yu were in the same imperial class, and they were also from the same hometown. When Ye Xianggao was still the chief assistant, he supported Han Yu and belonged to the moderate faction of Donglin.

This kind of thing is a family scandal, so Han Yu naturally couldn't come forward. Hearing Wei Dazhong's impeachment of Wei Guangwei, Huang Zunsu was entrusted by Han Yu to go to Wei Dazhong's house to persuade him.

"Humph!"

Huang Zunsu came to visit, Wei Dazhong naturally couldn't refuse, but this didn't delay his face full of indignation.

What Huang Zunsu meant was to persuade Wei Dazhong to make big things smaller and smaller. After all, it was Dong Lin's own business. The eunuch party has not moved yet, so everyone is probably watching a joke.

In fact, he had a good idea, Wei Zhongxian was just waiting to see the jokes of the Donglin Party, and then see if he could profit from it.

"Wei Guangwei has a small mind and a good face. I saw it early in the morning." Huang Zunsu poured a cup of tea for Wei Dazhong and sighed:

"After such a scandal, the court naturally cannot keep him. What Ge Lao means is that we can slowly downplay him. If we attack him too hastily, there is no guarantee that he will not take risks."

"From my point of view, it's better to delay for a while, and then go to His Majesty, transfer him to the border, and dilute the influence."

As he spoke, Huang Zunsu quietly looked at Wei Dazhong.

The latter has a quick temper, and he knew that what Huang Zunsu said was the best way to deal with it at present, but for some reason, the string in his mind just couldn't be turned around.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and said:

"Take a risk? Does he dare to vote for the eunuch!"

Wei Dazhong couldn't rub the sand in his eyes, and his personality was more impatient than Yang Lian's, and he always wanted to fight the eunuchs to turn the world upside down.

Huang Zunsu's words were originally to persuade him to relax a little, but he didn't want to touch an invisible nerve, which made Wei Dazhong even more angry.

And listen to him:

"This sacrificial ceremony is for the emperor to promulgate this year's calendar. The Glorious Heavenly Dynasty will be in another month and a half. There will be vassal kingdoms in all directions, nine barbarians and eight barbarians. Who would dare not to implement it?"

"The only ones who dare not accept Zhengshuo are the Jurchen chiefs of Jianzhou who stole Liaodong, and the little generals of Pianyu Island."

"Wei Guangwei, as an important minister of Donglin and a minister in power, is as arrogant as a traitor and does not respect Zhengshuo. He was late for such a big event, which shows how rampant and rude he has become!"

"You..." Huang Zunsu raised his hand and said:

"Kong Shi, you're saying that seriously. Wei Guangwei is also an important minister of Donglin. How can he compare with the rebellion of small countries such as Jianzhou and Dongying?"

"It's really long, no need to persuade me anymore, I've made up my mind!"

Wei Dazhong picked up the teacup on the table and drank it down, then pressed the teacup back on the table heavily.

Huang Zunsu saw that he was so angry that his eyes were tearing apart, and he was so angry that he paused, saying that it would be better not to come here to persuade him, because he was afraid that after he left, he would go to court to impeach him again.

Wei Dazhong's quick temper, once he finds a reason, the nine cows will not be able to pull back. It will be a matter of time before this matter becomes a big problem, and he has to go back to the old man for a long-term discussion.

Thinking of this, he didn't say any more, he found a reason, resigned from Wei Dazhong's residence, and went to discuss with Han Yu.

……

Sure enough, as soon as Huang Zunsu left, Wei Dazhong made another sharp memorial.

Zhu Youxiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and adopted Wei Zhongxian's suggestion, to stay in the middle school and not send it out, let this matter develop further.

Wei Guangwei saw that Wei Dazhong actually compared himself to the Ni Chief and Dongying General in the memorandum, and was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and hurriedly went to the memorandum to say that he had an eye disease and needed to rest at home.

"The minister was late due to eye disease, but it was just a misdemeanor. This generation is Xiaoxiao, who doesn't judge the severity, and impeachment is really unbearable."

This is not over yet, Wei Guangwei defended himself in the memorial, and retorted, saying that Wei Dazhong's temper is not good enough for a big job.

In secret, he went around asking people and asking for connections. Needless to say, he is also a member of the Donglin Party, fellow villagers, one by one to defend him.

After Huang Zunsu went back, he discussed with Han Yu, the chief assistant of the cabinet.

The two people didn't know what the outcome of their discussion was. Anyway, the Donglin moderates neither impeached Wei Guangwei nor echoed Wei Dazhong, but they were directly out of the game in order to protect themselves.

Can Wei Guangwei be willing?

At the beginning, he took pains to push Han Yu to the position of chief assistant, not to watch him push the ball, play Tai Chi, and keep himself clean at this juncture.

Many officials of Wei Guangwei's clan and township began to go to Shu to intercede for him.
