Wanli Xinming

Chapter 175 Ding Ming
After Zhu Yijun traveled through, there was a total solar eclipse in the third year of Wanli.According to the astronomical theory at the time, Zhu Yijun did not talk to anyone, and directly rescued the sun according to the "rescue ceremony" left by Emperor Taizu.

The etiquette of the Ming court to save the sun is as follows: "Before the solar eclipse, the emperor should wear plain clothes to repair the government and obey the heavenly commandments. He should wear regular clothes, not the main hall. Qin Tianjian predicts that on the day of the solar eclipse, he will be decorated at the ceremony gate of the Ministry of Rites, and the main hall will set up an incense table on the terrace. ."

"Gold drums are placed on both sides of the ceremonial gate to the sun, and under the terrace of the music hall, and each official worship is located on the terrace. When the time comes, the officials will enter the class, sing praise, bow, and make music. Four worship, Xing, music stop, kneel. All the drums sounded in unison, waiting for a round. The music stopped, and the ceremony was over."

The above are the rescue rituals of the imperial court. Taizu also stipulated that from the chief minister to the county, all levels of government should come to such a rescue method.Lunar eclipses mostly occurred at night, and Taizu stipulated that the commanding envoys and guards should carry out rescue.

Note that this "rescue" is based on the forecast of Qintianjian. If Qintianjian reports an error - well, in general, Qintianjian officials will be punished.

There is nothing greater than the commandments of heaven that the king of men should be strict with.The solar eclipse is the largest of the heavenly commandments, so during the total solar eclipse in the third year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun honestly quit the dynasty and reflected on himself.At that time, the officials of the court did not do much about the total solar eclipse - because the emperor in the third year of Wanli had nothing to say, and all he came up with was moral politics.

However, less than half of the solar eclipse in the fifth year of Wanli caused a great backlash from the imperial court.Every civil servant feels that it is closely related to the political incident of the demoting of Lu Shusheng and Wang Yongji's death in March.

In the absence of popular astronomy, Zhu Yijun still had to stand at attention in front of "God's will", fast, quit the court, and self-examination.Of course, things were good and bad, court officials and demotions came first, and even the most iron-clad officials did not dare to let the emperor sin against them—forget it, just criticize a few words, it’s easy to get yourself into it if you say the first words.

Be polite to the emperor, but don't have to be so polite to Zhang Juzheng. Many censors spoke to Zhang Juzheng with another round of artillery fire.The censors on the left and right of the Inspectorate cannot stop him at this time. After all, Tian Bian was either the emperor or the ruler. At this time, impeaching Zhang Juzheng belongs to the protection of the emperor. It is absolutely politically correct, and Zhang Juzheng has to criticize himself.Well, whenever there is a disaster, the way of speaking is very smooth.

Although Zhang Juzheng played Zhang Zhang and waited, but Zhu Yijun had no choice but to stay behind.Not only did he stay in the middle school, but he also rewarded Zhang Juzheng a few times—to let everyone see clearly that the Prime Minister and the Minister of the Holy Family are still the same as before, and that the reform should be carried out, and no one should be lucky.

Zhu Yijun rescued the sun in Beijing, and Zhang Juzheng was impeached again.Later, the great merits of Zhen's destruction of the "Dingming Puppet Dynasty" reported by the Zhangde House made Zhu Yijun dumbfounded.

Xiaotun Village on the south bank of Huanhe River in Anyang County, Zhangde Prefecture, Henan Province, although its name is inconspicuous, is also a large village with more than [-] people.If outsiders come here and see the house and land of the landlord Zhu Shiqiang's family - they all know that this is a well-off family.

Zhu Shiqiang, the current head of the Zhu family, is 42 years old today. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips.

What made the deceased Zhu Shiqiang's father, Zhu Dingwu, surprised, delighted, and feared that his eldest son, Zhu Shiqiang, not only stood tall with his ears hanging down from his shoulders, but also, if he had a slightly cat-like waist, his middle fingertips could go past his knees.Zhu Dingwu, who has heard the story of the Three Kingdoms, believes that his own son, Zhu Shiqiang, has the appearance of an emperor.

However, things are changing.Zhu Dingwu has been secretly mobilizing in the village for half his life, and he has also found several fortune-tellers who have calculated that Zhu Shiqiang has the appearance of an emperor, and the number of villagers who have been inspired is less than [-], and all of them are from the family, and there is no foreign surname.

Two years ago, Mr. Zhu Dingwu, who failed to accomplish a major event, rode a crane to the west and left a will when he was dying to have a secret conversation with his son.It is said that the Zhu family and the emperor's family belong to the same family. According to the seniority, Zhu Shiqiang happens to be the uncle of the little emperor of this dynasty.

I heard that Zhang Juzheng, the black-faced prime minister of this dynasty, took the emperor to order the princes, and wanted to change the surname of the Zhu family to the surname Zhang.My son sleeps at home and wears eggs [press: to wait for the day], once the world changes, we must take advantage of the situation, build a society and call it a loner, and set up a prosperous harem.Dad has left a number of soldiers and armors to fight, and they are all buried in the barn in the backyard of the family - if you are lucky, you can make your father the Emperor Wu.

The brainwashed Zhu Shiqiang communicated with tears and tears, and assured his father that he would keep the Zhu family’s grain and that the old Zhang family must not usurp it.Once the world changes, the army will first kill the traitorous ministers on the side of the Qing emperor, and then let the little emperor perform the ritual of giving in meditation.

Coincidentally, news that shook the world first came out this spring. Zhang Juzheng, a big traitor, made progress by retreating, and asked the emperor to demote the old grand master Lu and the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs who helped protect the Ming Dynasty. They were both beaten by the emperor. There are dozens of loyal ministers.The most hateful thing is that a loyal minister surnamed Wang bumped into a pillar in court, and did not wake up the faint-hearted emperor - he was simply manipulated by a powerful minister!
When Uncle Zhu heard about this, he almost clenched his steel teeth and felt that he would never do it again, this great pill.However, what made him depressed was that in the village, the traitorous officials were in power, and the emperor was confused. As long as the villagers had food to eat, they only listened to stories, and the Zhu family's words were useless.

The turn of events came very suddenly. With the gradual deepening of the water conservancy project of Zhangde House, Anyang County bullied the ignorant of the villagers and violated the emperor's decree to add money to repair the river.Many small farmers in Xiaotun Village went bankrupt because of this, and the situation of selling houses and land began to appear, and Uncle Zhu immediately won the hearts of the people.

In May, the county arranged for Zhu Shiqiang to be the head of the armor, responsible for the renovation of a section of the river bank in the Huanhe River. Zhu Shiqiang took the village's labor to continue earthwork work along the Huanhe River.It happened that the villagers in Xiaotun Village completely believed that Zhu Shiqiang was the son of the emperor. The Zhu family actually dug up a sacrificial vessel on the bank of the river - a large square tripod full of simplicity!
This five-foot-high, nine-foot-wide four-column, erect and ear-folded Ding along the dragon pattern was unearthed, allowing the "Dingming" court to be established in Xiaotun Village that night.After the less solemn enthronement ceremony, Zhu Shiqiang first added feudal officials, six ministers and a lot of prime ministers.

Afterwards, he named his brother and son the prince, and established the second harem under the bright future - the wife of the widowed daughter-in-law of the Wang family in the village, the post of Concubine Xiti.

At the suggestion of the Prime Minister Zhu Shiwen, Zhu Shiqiang took the reign title "Dingxin" and was ready to start an army to conquer the world.After the reorganization, Emperor Dingxin of Xiaotun Village was appointed as the chief soldier, and there were three generals under him, who led a total of [-] imperial troops.He also dug up the oil-paper-sealed weapons from the basement of Zhu Shiqiang's warehouse: three hundred spear heads, ten machetes, and one foot bow—a spear head and a machete. I don't know where "Emperor Wu" his old man came from. come.

After lining up in the village to train for two days, Zhu Shiqiang felt that these people still lacked confidence in fighting the county government.How to coerce more people into the gang has become a new problem for the prime minister and the generals.

As a result, the prime minister Zhu Shiwen, who once went to the city to hear "Ming Ying Martyr", once again offered his advice. He heard that before the emperor of the puppet dynasty raised an army to rebel against the Yuan Dynasty, a "one-eyed stone man" appeared in the Yellow River.Although my Ding Ming court is not real, I can't make a stone man?
As a result, Anyang county magistrate Wang Yu, Ma Dianli and others were first heartbroken, and then overjoyed and finally appeared - on the construction site of Xia Shui Town, a red-eyed stone man was dug out, and his back was crookedly carved. A row of big characters "Fake Ming should die, Ding Ming should stand!"

Wang Yu, the magistrate of Anyang County, received the report and began to think it was over. If thousands of local laborers on the construction site and "wandering and troubled" servants rose up, then the whole county would be corrupted.What made him overjoyed later was that after the workers saw that the stone man was born and the supervisor disappeared without a trace, not only did they not attack the county government with Zhu Shiqiang, but they all ran away because of their homesickness.

There were also some confused Zhu Shiqiang who followed the riot, and the total number of people was less than 200.Zhu Shiqiang had already set up the flag, so he could only go one way to the dark, and began to attack Anyang County, which had locked the city gate with 150 people - if he didn't fiddle with the construction site, but directly led the imperial army into Anyang City, More than [-] people might really be able to take down the county government.

Anyang county magistrate Wang Yu is greedy, but he has enough brains.Seeing the great deeds of annihilation and treason that were delivered to the door, the people who clamored around the city walls were all the little ladders for promotion - it's not easy for the literati to acquire martial arts!So he organized the yamen in the city, arranged for the citizens to guard the city wall, and sent someone to notify his old partner, Liu on Huanhe, for inspection.
