[Qing] Empress Xiao Chengren Reborn

Most of the pearl brocades were selected from the West. After the selection, Xuan Ye ordered people to move to Kunning Palace. After returning to the Palace of Preservation, he looked at the pearl brocade and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you Love these things!"

He thought that the Pearl Brocade would choose some gold and jade tools, paused, and said, "Some things are not refined enough, you can use them first, and wait for the Nanhuai Renqin Tianjian to deal with it. Wait for him When I am free, I will call him into the palace, let him draw all the blueprints, and make new ones for you!"

Zhu Jin had heard about this Nan Huairen for a long time, but it was a pity that he never had the chance to meet him. Hearing Xuan Ye say this, he asked: "Is the matter of Qin Tianjian that the emperor said about the calendar? In the inner palace, I also heard some rumors."

The dispute over calendars did not start at this time. As early as after Matteo Ricci entered China to preach, there was a dispute between the so-called Chinese calendar and the Western calendar.

"As early as the time of the late emperor, the imperial grandmother and the late emperor valued Tang Ruowang very much. Even when Prince Rui Dorgon was in power, he also valued Tang Ruowang very much. His western calendar calculation is accurate, and the Qin Tianjian has already determined his calendar. Forget it, this is enough to arouse the jealousy of others, but he is a missionary, and he compiled a book saying that we are all descendants of their leader. I read that book when I was young, it is simply absurd, just Because of this, Yang Guangxian sued him, and it was the two or three years since I took the throne, the dispute over the calendar caused a lot of trouble, "

Xuan Ye said, "Oboi is old-fashioned, and the four auxiliary ministers are not reformers, they are all xenophobic, they have long been dissatisfied with the late emperor's closeness to Han culture, they like Han culture, even the late emperor's grandmother's closeness to Tang Ruowang and the others I can't get used to it, so Yang Guang caught the handle first, and all the missionaries were imprisoned. Just last year, Tang Ruowang also died. Now the missionaries are led by Nan Huairen. I respect their culture and will not be like Obai treated them like that, and I also know that their astronomy and calendar are indeed accurate, but they must prove themselves, otherwise Wu Mingxuan will be like Yang Guangxian back then, and these missionaries will not stand up."

Not long ago, Nan Huairen impeached Wu Mingxuan, deputy supervisor of Qin Tianjian, to make an error in the Kangxi eight-year calendar. Xuanye ordered the meeting of the king and ministers to confirm the various errors of the autumnal equinox. However, after the meeting of the king and ministers, Prince Kang Jieshu and others repeated the report, saying that the calendar is so subtle that it is difficult to determine, and the ministers should be sent to verify it with both parties.

At that time, he was really laughed at by Jieshu. Jieshu didn't know the calendar, let alone Western astronomical algorithms. At the age of 11, he watched the ministers of the DPRK and China arguing about who the calendar belonged to. He couldn't get in a word. He only thought about one thing in his mind. Let's put the que words, if the traditional calendar is not accurate, the Western calendar is accurate, so why not use it!

Why is it so blindly xenophobic!

He was very interested in arithmetic and astronomy since he was a child. Since he was six years old, he has studied the Pythagorean theorem and even geometry and mathematics. He really has nothing to say to these ministers who know nothing about Western mathematics and calendars. When Jieshu sent the result, he just sneered in his heart. If he didn't understand, could it be possible that these people use the wrong calendar to make people laugh at the court's incompetence?

It took him ten days to silently calculate the eight-year calendar of Kangxi in the Palace of Preserving Harmony by himself. After verifying that the calculated calendar result was consistent with Nan Huairen, he gave the result to Tuhai, so that Twenty people, including Tu Hai and Li Wei, calculated again. These people are all great scholars around him. He can calculate, so naturally these people can do the calculation again. These 20 people calculated again, and came back to tell him the result. The result is the same as that of Nan Huairen, but it is different from the calendar practiced by Wu Mingxuan.

Xuan Ye issued a clear decree, ordering Wu Mingxuan and Nan Huairen to calculate the calendar date of the ninth year of Kangxi in front of the ministers and important ministers who were discussing politics, and asked Tu Hai, Li Yu and other 20 people to follow the two to verify it, and he also issued a decree , warned everyone to take Tang Ruowang's case as a warning and not to cause unjust, false and wrong cases.

Xuan Ye counted the days silently. It seems that the meeting of the king and ministers to discuss politics was scheduled for today.

"According to what the emperor said, you are very optimistic about Nan Huairen?"

"What I am optimistic about is his calendar calculations. As for his beliefs, I respect him at a distance. According to his teachings, if the people believe in him, what do you want the emperor to do? If he does this well, I will He can be allowed to continue preaching, and Tang Ruowang will be ordinary, but this does not mean that I really agree with them, this is just a deal, and he understands it in his heart, "

Xuan Ye narrowed his eyes and said, "Since the Ming Dynasty, the missionaries have been trying to make the emperor believe in their religion. If I believe in it, wouldn't all the people in this world become their followers? The emperor of the Ming Dynasty didn't believe in them. Why do I want to believe it? Nan Huairen knows this very well, so he is different from Tang Ruowang, he is a smart person, he does not talk about politics, he does not persuade me to believe in religion, and he is not as scheming as Tang Ruowang."

"Oboi wants to continue to use this matter to attack me, and achieve their goal of driving the missionaries out of the Qin Tianjian. Nan Huairen wants to use my power to gain a firm foothold in the Qin Tianjian. He wants to make Tang Ruowang ordinary. I want to borrow This is an opportunity to attack Oboi. If Nan Huairen is really smart, he will seize this opportunity. What's more, I have calculated that his calendar is not wrong, so I am optimistic about him, and naturally I don't want him to disappoint me. .”

As soon as Xuan Ye finished speaking, Liang Jiugong came in. Xuan Ye seemed to have a feeling in his heart and asked, "Did the result come out?"

Liang Jiugong nodded and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Kang has brought Nan Huairen back to his command, and said that the results of the meeting of the king and ministers have come out."

Zhu Jin tilted her head, huh?Has Jieshu brought Nan Huairen here?A thought suddenly popped up in her mind, she had seen more than ten million crooked nuts in modern times, and she couldn’t stop watching as much as she wanted, but she had never seen crooked nuts in the Qing Dynasty. Thinking of this, her eyes brightened He looked at Xuan Ye.

After hearing Liang Jiugong's words, Xuanye was about to say to let Prince Kang and Nan Huairen in, when he suddenly felt two fiery eyes staring at him, he turned his head, and as expected, he saw the bright eyes of Zhujin Mou, and the second elder brother who just came back full from being nursed by the wet nurse, also looked at him with a pair of black jewel-like eyes.

Xuan Ye sighed inwardly, looked at Zhu Jin and smiled, "Want to see it?"

Zhu Jin blinked and said: "Is it possible?"

"You are the queen, you can see it, but,"

Xuan Ye paused, and said to Liang Jiugong, "Go and move a screen."

Turning to Zhu Jin with a smile, "You just sit behind the screen and watch him."

It doesn't matter that Zhujin sees Nan Huairen, but he still doesn't want Nan Huairen to see his queen, so after saying that, Xuan Ye motions for the wet nurse who is holding the second elder brother to come to him, and leans over to hug the second elder brother. In his arms, he said to Liang Jiugong, "Go, let Jie Shu and Nan Huairen come in."

Zhu Jin sat down behind the screen, looked at the cheerful second elder brother in Xuan Ye's arms with resentment, couldn't help complaining in her heart, Xuan Ye refused to let her get what she wanted, but doted on the kid very much, he was still in his infancy, Xuan Ye can always make him get everything he wants, it's great to have an Ama who is the emperor...

Jie Shu brought Nan Huairen in, and after the two saluted Xuan Ye, they both stood at the side with their hands down. Xuan Ye hugged his second elder brother and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Go back to the emperor,"

Jie Shu said, "The result of the calculation came out, and the final result was the same as Nan Huairen's calculation. Wu Mingxuan's calculation had many mistakes. After detailed discussion, it was proved that Yang Guangxian, as the supervisor, could not solve the mistakes of the past. , protect Wu Mingxuan, and attack the Western calendar."

Xuan Ye nodded, with an imperceptible smile on the corner of his lips, and said: "The decree will dismiss Yang Guang first, appoint Nan Huairen as the deputy supervisor of the Qintian Supervisor, and at the same time correct the mistakes in the previous almanac. Nan Huairen's words."

"Yes,"

Jie Shu led the decree, and after Nan Huairen thanked him, Jie Shu said again, "The Ministry of Punishment will discuss Wu Mingxuan's crime, and give him a hundred rods to Ninggu Pagoda."

"There's no need for a staff of one hundred, there's no need to be so ruthless, hit forty big boards, and then distribute Ninggu Pagoda,"

Xuan Ye felt that Wu Mingxuan should be dealt with leniently, so he said to Nan Huairen, "Don't worry, when the time comes, I will rehabilitate Tang Ruowang."

"Thank you, Your Majesty,"

Nan Huairen was depressed for many years, and he was very grateful to the emperor for everything he had done for him, and he was also very grateful to the emperor for providing him with this opportunity, so he said, "I made a small thing with my own hands, and I brought it this time. I want to personally dedicate it to the emperor."

He took out a small gadget from his bosom, Liang Jiugong went over to take it and presented it to Xuan Ye, Nan Huairen explained from the side, "Your Majesty, this is a gold pocket watch that I made by myself, it is hung on my body and is carried around every day. It can sing every hour, and it will also give out music to tell the time. I have nothing else to thank the emperor, so I can only do this to the emperor, and I will definitely do it for Daqing, and I will not hesitate!"

"You've been here for so long, but you've learned to speak official language like the ministers!"

For the gold-encrusted pocket watch presented by Nan Huairen, the second elder brother in Xuanye's arms showed great interest. He held the pocket watch in his hand and fiddled with it. When it happened to be exactly on the hour, the gold pocket watch really gave out a burst of light. The melodious music made the second elder brother very excited, Xuan Ye smiled and said, "Forget it, my second elder brother likes this, so I will pass it on to him in front of you, and I have one more thing If I want to tell you to do it, I don’t need you to spare no effort for Daqing, I just need you to build another piano for me after completing the work of the Qin Tianjian. My second elder brother also likes that, and I also There are some things that require you to draw blueprints for the manufacturing office to make, and someone will give you the list later."

Nan Huairen said: "My elder brother likes my things, it's my honor!"

After Nan Huairen finished meeting with the emperor and left the Baohe Palace, he got a list from Liang Jiugong, which stated what kind of drawings and things he wanted her to make. After reading it, he asked Jie Shu: "My lord, The second elder brother is still so young that he can't even speak well, so the emperor wants him to learn how to play the piano? Does he need to be taught by his minister after it is built?"

Originally, he was very happy that the Western calendar was implemented, and he was also very happy to win Wu Mingxuan, but Qin Tianjian is so busy, he still has to write books, preach, build astronomical instruments, and build Western calendars for the emperor. Damn, where's the time for the Pope to play the piano?What's more, he is still a prince who is less than one year old...
