Wu Hao felt extremely humiliated in his heart, but he refused to admit it.
Not the emperor’s order.
Just because, who asked me to be incomparable to the Duke of Lai in front of me in terms of calculating astrology and Ming Dynasty fortune?
What did I ask you to do, other than to discuss with you? Yes, there is no use in being verbose, just follow the instructions.
Wu Hao was about to see Zhang Zhou off, but he still didn’t forget to ask, “Master Lai Guo, I really want to ask for advice.”
Zhang Zhou said, “Wu Jianzheng said it’s okay. ”
Wu Hao: “You see, you can see the opportunity in advance every time, whether it is climate change, the enemy situation at the border, or natural disasters and man-made disasters. Let me ask you, what do you rely on to make predictions?” Liu Ren’s astrological divination came out not to steal his skills, but to determine the scope of his future specialization.” “Haha,” Zhang Zhou laughed.
This question is easy to ask but hard to answer.
Could it be that you tell Wu Hao that you also travel through time and that your soul travels for hundreds of years? For example, if you are thrust into the Three Kingdoms and the Tang Dynasty, and through your understanding of historical materials, you can also become a person at that time. The prophet
"Rely on feeling." Zhang Zhou said.
"Feeling" Wu Hao was shocked, "This hailstorm, you are also relying on your feeling."
Zhang Zhou sighed, "So I have the ability. Once something happens in the future, , I will feel something in my heart, and then I can't help but think about it, and finally I can calculate a rough result in my mind." Wu Hao thought to himself, this is teasing me.
But thinking about it again, things about metaphysics are not easy to explain. Based on his contact with Zhang Zhou, he did not find that Zhang Zhou did not have much research on astrology, calendars and other books, or Zhang Zhou's attainments in metaphysics depended on the induction of heaven and man.
"I have been taught." Wu Hao looked a little disappointed.
Zhang Zhouyi knew he was going to hit someone just by looking at it.
If the calculation is done manually, it is possible to learn even the most complicated calculation formula.
But if it all depends on the induction of heaven and man, it probably means that you don’t have the talent and qualifications to communicate with heaven, so don’t work hard in this life and try to reincarnate well in the next life.
Zhang Zhou felt that he was worthy of Wu Hao. Time travel is no different from teleportation between heaven and man. If you don’t know it, you really don’t know it, so don’t force it.
"Hail disaster, hail disaster"
Wu Hao was still mumbling when he saw Zhang Zhou out of the door.
It seemed that Wu Hao was still very concerned about the upcoming hail disaster, but what troubled him even more was figuring out how Zhang Zhou calculated it.
Zhang Zhou relied on historical knowledge to excel.
The actual records of Xiaozong have detailed records
"In the fifth month of the seventh month, there was rain and hail in the capital."
"In Renshen, there was a sound of the earthquake in the capital."
< p> "Xin Chou, the Military Science and Technology Department gave Wei Chun a word about the matter. The recent earthquakes, rain and hail, the weather has been warning, andThe bandits are particularly concerned about the border affairs. I beg Ma Wensheng, the minister of the Ministry of War, to plan carefully and not to be restrained. The accounting department of the household department is responsible for food and wages. Zhengdong is now the most urgent task. However, the minister, Zhong Zhong, is ill and cannot leave. The minister, Li Mengyang, is very exhausted and begs to leave. Choose talents who can fulfill their duties, and the superiors will do it, but the fate clock will not care. ""Jiachen, there was a sound from the earthquake in Guangzhou, Henan. "
"Jiyou, the Ministry of Rites reported that there have been sudden changes in the capital, earthquakes, rain and hail. In the past one or two years, there have been many disasters in the four directions. The town, patrol and other officials have strictly repaired the places where there are disasters. Please let me know if you have any inconvenience. The Xuanfu of Ningxia, Gansu, Datong, and Liaodong are particularly tied to the border areas. Please order them to be cautious in defense to prepare for any danger, and also order the civil and military ministers of the two capitals to build the province together in order to return to God's will. I especially hope that the Emperor will take pity on Li Yuan and cultivate his solid virtues. He will not replace the policies of his early years, but will use his plans to achieve lasting results and praise him. "
"Nanjing garrison Wei Guogong Xu You resigned due to disaster. He said that he had been serving as a minister for many years. Fang Long appointed him, and he sincerely expressed his sincere resignation. "
This series of events are all based on a "disaster".
There is no Zhang Zhou in history, so Yan Guan reported these disasters. The main thing that comes to mind is the northwest military affairs, but it would be lively if Zhang Zhou was here.
The minister will definitely say, Your Majesty, look, God is giving us warnings, we still obey the boss. According to God's arrangement, get Zhang Bingkuan down quickly.
This is not a preemptive strike. It is more like preparing for some criticism that he is about to encounter. He only needs to associate the disaster with him first. If he solves it once, no matter what disaster happens in the Ming Dynasty, others will not forcefully associate it with him.
Zhang Zhou just returned home in a carriage.
This is what he was thinking about. When Wan He went to reunite with his wife and children, there was a carriage parked at the door, and a person stepping out was Yang Peng.
"Master Zhang. "Yang Peng came over and made a gesture of surrendering to his orders.
Zhang Zhou said, "Eunuch Yang, you have been waiting here for a long time. Do you have something to do? Please tell me today."
Yang Peng said nervously, "It has been found out that there may be officials who want to report your case to the court early tomorrow morning, so I came to say hello to you in advance. "
"Your Majesty asked you to come," Zhang Zhou asked.
"I mentioned it to Your Majesty before. Your Majesty said that I would inform you in advance and let you do it first. Be prepared, I haven't reported this to His Majesty yet. "Yang Peng's words were sincere.
Zhang Zhou glanced at Yang Peng and roughly understood that now Yang Peng knew that he was only superficial, but he knew very well that it was short-lived. Once Zhang Zhou fell, he Yang Peng The authority of Admiral Dongchang will be handed over immediately, and it seems that Xiao Jing, Wei Bin and Chen Kuan cannot tolerate him.
"Go in and talk. "Zhang Zhou said.
"No need. Yang Peng said, "Our family has to go back and report this matter to His Majesty." ”
Zhang Zhou asked, “Do you know who they are? Didn’t you ask me to prepare? I should know who there are.” ”
Yang Peng had already stretched out his hand to his arms and heard the words"To be honest, you should not ask who is there, but should ask who is like this. Many civil servants and military honors in the court are being held hostage, and they have to participate in your impeachment. There are only a few leaders, but It seems that everyone except the one from the Ministry of Rites has signed a letter, which is detrimental to your situation."
Zhang Zhou sighed, "Why are these people so anxious? I still want to give them a chance. , He didn’t even wait for God’s will, he came directly to impeach me. Wait a few days, wait for the disaster to come, and then impeach me. Isn’t it sweet?”
“Ah”
< p>Yang Peng is not used to Zhang Zhou's way of speaking.Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Eunuch Yang, hurry up and report to your Majesty. I'm lucky here. I've been prepared for being targeted in the court. There are several people in the court and the public who are not targeted." Just get used to it."
Zhang Zhou returned home.
For Zhang Zhou, this was a wonderful night of "a loving father and a filial son" and "love between husband and wife uniting the whole family".
But for those who want to participate in the impeachment of Zhang Zhou, tonight is extraordinary. This is the last night before the war, involving the Ming court for the next few years, or even the next ten years. year pattern.
For them, if tomorrow's incident fails, it will mean that Zhang Zhou's rise will no longer be contained. After the veterans of the court retire, they will rely on a group of former ministers, ministers, censors and chief ministers. This will make it more difficult for officials who have been promoted to check and balance Zhang Zhou.
Be sure to succeed the first time without leaving any future troubles.
The British Duke Zhang Mao's mansion was currently receiving a special guest, Wu Hao, who had just met Zhang Zhou before.
The purpose of Wu Hao coming to see Zhang Mao was to explain what Zhang Zhou had mentioned, that there would be a hailstorm in the capital in a few days, and he had to follow his instructions not to say that this was what Zhang Zhou had mentioned. , but it was calculated by Qin Tianjian himself.
"You said that there was a rain and hail disaster in the capital, but you calculated it." Zhang Mao looked in disbelief when facing Wu Hao, who was so confident as a weather forecaster.
Don’t say that I, Zhang Mao, don’t believe it. No one in the government or the public thinks that you, Wu Hao, have the ability to directly predict what will happen in a few days.
It’s hard to say whether it will be sunny or cloudy tomorrow, whether it will rain or not.
You can actually accurately predict hailstorms
Wu Hao said, "That's what happened. I came down here to find the British Lord because if you tell others about this, they may not be trustworthy."
"Then why did you come to tell me again?" Zhang Mao frowned and said, "If you are not sure, you can mention it to His Majesty, or are you afraid that you will not be able to deliver it accurately and His Majesty will blame you for being incompetent? , and also likes to deliberately imitate the Zhang family boy."
Wu Hao had a bitter look on his face.
Old man Zhang is more direct in his sarcasm. When I talked to Zhang Bingkuan, even if he thought I was incompetent, at least he didn't say it clearly.
Wu Hao followed the previously discussed rhetoric and said, "Isn't this a matter involving the impeachment of Duke Lai recently? Isn't there a lack of excuses for both the government and the public? I originally wanted to see Tu Bu."However, I felt that it might be inconvenient to bother him with such things. And it is basically difficult to be accepted by others. "
Zhang Mao said, "If others don't believe it, I have to believe you."
Wu Hao asked, "I'm just trying my best." ”
Zhang Mao looked worried.
Psychologically, he did not want to go against Zhang Zhou.
It is rare for Wu Xun to survive under Zhang Zhou’s leadership. He was already quarrelsome. Suppressing Zhang Zhou at this time would only lead to the rejection of the civil servants. Even when the civil servants came to discuss with him before, they said they would tolerate each other and help each other equally, but Zhang Mao knew that the civil servants could not be there. He has to give up his power in governing the country.
But if he does not confront Zhang Zhou, the emerging nobles represented by Zhang Zhou will replace him.
< p>Without Zhang Zhou himself, just Zhu Feng and Wang Shouren would be enough to give him a headache.This is also because Zhang Mao is very sensitive to future events when he gets old, and he knows that. His children and grandchildren are not yet able to take the lead, and he does not feel that Zhang Zhou has helped Zhang Rui and Zhang Lun father and son much
Treatment
Old man Zhang never cares about political issues. I will think about this "small favor"
"Okay, you can go back and remember not to mention this matter to outsiders. " Zhang Mao asked.
"Why is this?"
Wu Hao thought to himself, you, Mr. Zhang, want to hide this matter
Then His Majesty and Zhang Bingkuan are here Wouldn’t it be destroyed by you, Mr. Zhang?
In the face of the emperor’s order and your British Duke’s order, of course I will choose the former.
Zhang Mao said, “If it cannot be fulfilled, do you know. What are the consequences? The boy from the Zhang family has been attacked recently, saying that he talks nonsense and confuses the public. I think you are about the same. "
The "I" point really comes to Wu Hao's heart.
Wu Hao will naturally think about it. What Zhang Zhou said before was true and sincere, but who knows Are you fooling me?
Maybe he just wanted to make up a hailstorm that didn't exist, and asked me to find someone to report to him. In the end, the incident never happened again, so Zhang Bingkuan took the opportunity to tell others that it was the civil servant who told him Groundless criticism, and even "confusion" by criticizing what he has done
You civil servants use non-existent disasters to attack, which is also misleading the public, so how can you attack me< /p>
“Let’s go and act as if we have never been to my house. "Zhang Mao wanted to throw it away.
Wu Hao gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Zhang, if you don't mention this matter in court tomorrow, then I will have to mention it below. "
"What?" Zhang Mao felt very surprised.
You Wu Hao are also tough.
You actually relied on calculation to calculate a hail disaster and planned to It will be impressive to report it personally in the future.
"As a minister, if you know that there may be a disaster and fail to report it, it will be a dereliction of duty. As a supervisor of the Qin Dynasty, it is your duty to report the abnormal celestial phenomena. Within the scope, I’m telling you, it’s just because it involves dealing with LaiIf you don't take the Duke's participation in the impeachment seriously, then I can only ask the court to report it to His Majesty in person tomorrow. "
Wu Hao actually didn't want to do this, but now that the emperor asked him to do it, it's different.
Zhang Mao said with a dark face, "Whether you want to participate or not? You guys from the Zhang family have nothing to do with you. It’s just like a dog trying to deal with a mouse. You go back, I have an idea. "
He did not say whether he would report the matter to the police in the future. He only said that he would have an idea. He also deliberately used the attitude of an old fox to trick Wu Hao.
That night .
Liu Jian's residence
Tu Jian handed the written memorial to Liu Jian, and the memorial was also sent to the general public that night. When the Chief Envoy comes to Japan, he will be brought out and spoken publicly.
"There are a total of 214 people who have signed this. These are all civil servants. Most of the ministers in the court participated in it, except for a few who were stubborn or timid. "
Tu Yu mentioned these people with resentment in his tone, "In addition, there are sixty-three honorable ministers and generals in the British public office. The memorials from the vassals do not involve joint names, and will be sent to the capital in the next few days. "
Liu Jian looked at it, pointed and said, "I don't see Lin Hengda"
"Yeah. Tu Tu nodded.
In fact, Liu Jian still didn't quite understand this, because in Liu Jian's view, if Lin Han could also "kill his son-in-law with righteousness", this matter would be solved. The justice should be improved
And based on Liu Jian's previous observations, Lin Han should not be the kind of person who "doesn't distinguish between right and wrong".
But he never thought that Lin Han was here.
Liu Jian closed the memorial and said, "You should know that if you hand over this thing, there will be no turning back."
Tu Yu said, "It's all here. In this field, what do you think this bow with a full string can do without an arrow?"
"Yeah. "Liu Jian also understood that there is actually no way out now.
"Mr. Liu Ge, your Majesty has not mentioned any intention to disturb your cabinet this year, and even the proposal of adding new cabinet ministers has not been announced. Your Majesty rejected it. Your Majesty used this to show your goodwill. You can't give in at the critical moment."
What Tu Yu said was a reminder to Liu Jian, don't let us get excited and go to impeach Zhang Zhou. It's almost like the government and the opposition are united.
As a result, your cabinet is the first to retreat, and there will be looseness within our camp, and Zhang Zhou may even seize the opportunity to counterattack.
"Hmm. "Liu Jian just nodded in agreement.
But in fact, Liu Jian was not happy.
Just like Xie Qian's reaction when he learned about this matter before, it was not that they did not oppose Zhang Zhou, but I felt that the method adopted by the civil servants, Wu Xun and Zongfan was too low, and they risked losing the emperor's trust.
If it doesn't go well, there will be big trouble in the government and the public. .
What’s even more terrible is that this matter was not led by a few people in their cabinet from the beginning.They were also pulled in halfway, which meant that this matter was not within their control. Even Liu Jian was not sure how it would develop in the end.
The emperor's blind trust in the people around him was reflected from the beginning of Emperor Hongzhi's accession to the throne. He loved his wife and did not have a concubine for more than ten years, and then he carelessly favored his two brothers-in-law, and then he had no idea. Brain trust Li Guang and Zhang Zhou
The emperor's paranoia was also the reason why Liu Jian felt that this matter was very risky.
Tu Jian said, "I also heard that Mr. Wei, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, went to visit the guests in person today. I don't know what they said, but I guess it has something to do with tomorrow's event."
Liu Jianwen Yan is even more worried.
This time even internal officials were involved, which made Liu Jian feel that the matter might be beyond control.
It was already night in the palace.
Zhu Youtang was not in the palace, and the ceremonial supervisors all had their own errands.
Xiao Jing was not on duty at night, so Chen Kuan completed the writing and batching work for the emperor in the evening, while Wei Bin went out of the palace to find Li Dongyang.
"Eunuch Chen, the Queen has invited you." Just when Chen Kuan was very busy, a eunuch came to the door to deliver a message.
When Chen Kuan looked up and saw that the person who came was none other than the eunuch who served at Kunning Palace, he was also wondering why the queen came to see me so late at night
Don't he Dare to neglect, and hurriedly followed the visitor to see Queen Zhang.
After dinner, Queen Zhang put her daughter to sleep early, while she sat there and read a book, but what she read was just an ordinary storybook, the kind written by Zhang Zhou.
"Chen Kuan, I would like to ask you where your Majesty has been today?" Queen Zhang asked.
Chen Kuandao said, "I don't know."
Empress Zhang asked, "What happened in the government and the public in the past two days?"
Chen Kuancheng said in fear. "I don't dare to speak nonsense."
Queen Zhang said, "Well, I have heard about some things. It is said that the ministers of the court and the clan have joined forces to impeach Bingkuan. These people are really You don’t underestimate your capabilities. Your Majesty’s deep trust in Bingkuan should be seen by both the government and the public. Do you have to be so deadlocked?”
Chen Kuan pondered for a moment.
What does the queen mean?
Interfering in court affairs
It is better to act as a lobbyist for the emperor. But as a lobbyist, it is useful to go to Xiao Jing. You have no use for me
Empress Zhang said with an indifferent expression, "Your Majesty said that my two younger brothers will return to Beijing one after another in the near future. Their errands in the Governor's Mansion are not easy to arrange, so it's just right Make arrangements when someone is overestimating their abilities. Chen Kuan, whether you want to go one step further and take charge of a Dongchang, or even become the director of etiquette, I will give you a chance. It depends on your choice."
