Chapter 72 There is a vision
When Wang Shouren looked at the exposed vendors and couldn't help but be happy, a rare thing happened in hundreds of years - a total solar eclipse!
As a modern immigrant, Wang Shouren is naturally not surprised by the solar eclipse, but when he sees that this is not an ordinary partial solar eclipse, but a total solar eclipse, he can't help looking up and marveling!
For a while, the people of the market rushed to tell each other that wherever there were people, there were four words "the sky has a vision" or "the dog swallows the sun" flying above! Emperor Xiaozong, who was in the court, was also told by the officials of Qin Tianjian: "It was just dark, and the sun was not covered by dark clouds, but gone!"
Zhu Youxuan, the filial piety emperor, was shocked!
In ancient times, the sun had the highest status in nature. Without the sun, there would be no life!
The emperor is called the son of heaven, which means that he was sent by heaven to manage the people. Since heaven represents the emperor's father, it will warn the emperor, the executor on the earth, through the sun, to show what he has done wrong and what he wants to reflect on. Therefore, through various signs, the solar eclipse is one of the signs.
Zhu Youcheng, who was going to the court, hurriedly announced his retreat, retreating to the small hall next to the side hall, and asked the ministers, what is the omen of this weather?
Wang Shouren in the market didn't care about looking at the beautiful woman who had never turned around. He ran back. Just as people stopped to look at the sky, Wang Shouren, who was running all the way, also became a scenery, but no one appreciated it.
After he ran back, the sky gradually appeared.
He spread out the paper, sharpened the ink and picked up the pen, and wrote "Chen Yanbian Wushu":
"I foolishly think that the big trouble today lies in the name of careful old age for ministers, and inside it is Gu Luxi's favor. For those who are left and right, they are coerced to hand over money, and outside they wantonly to accept bribes. Learn to be vulgar and rape each other. Those who worry about the world are called circuitousness; those who speak are impetuous; those who are depressed and upright, and develop the wind of cowardice. Therefore, its decline will be unsupportable and unconscious. Fortunately, God's benevolence is suitable for the trouble of the border. It is an opportunity to worry about the police and change the way. In His Majesty, it is necessary for those who have their own reasons to reform the source of malpractices and punish Ai. New minister, how dare you obscurate to hear about it and kill him? As for the interests of military situation, the gains and losses of events, it is the place where Gu Yao can enter, and the words of the soldiers, why can't I do it? Although it may not be in line with the time, but selfishly think that it must be like this, you can't avoid being obedient and have already said it. Chen is cheap eight things to prepare for selection: the first is to store materials for emergencies; the second is to give up the short to use for the long; the third is to simplify the teacher to save money; the fourth is to store the fields to have enough food; the fifth is to do the law to shake the power; the sixth is to apply kindness to anger; the seventh is to donate small to the whole; the eighth is to strictly observe the disadvantages.
Wang Shouren summarized internal and external troubles and put forward these eight suggestions for political system reform.
Sure enough, Emperor Xiaozong issued an "immonet edict" based on the celestial phenomena and asked the ministers to speak out and widely accept public opinion. Wang Shouren dried the ink and handed it up first. He was very worried, waiting for the emperor to praise him!
I didn't expect that one day had passed, and two days had passed... Zhezi finally came back, with only four words: "Shang Jia Nazhi!", which means that the emperor appreciated it very much, and there was no follow-up after that!
What's more, Xiaozong Zhu Youcheng took the initiative to find Wang Shouren, but it was about the total solar eclipse.
Zhu Youcheng said, "What do you think of Dong Zhongshu's theory of 'heavenly and human induction'?"
Wang Shouren pretended to be ambiguous: "It seems that if there is an abnormal phenomenon in nature, the monarch must have done something wrong, which is also the so-called "God's punishment"!"
Zhu Youcheng patted the dragon case: "Do you know why he said so?"
Wang Shouren shivered: "I don't know!"
Zhu Youcheng said, "Li Xiang, a famous scholar in the Western Han Dynasty, has long said: 'The solar eclipse, the moon will cover it'. That is to say, the solar eclipse is the result of the moon blocking the sun. So now that the real cause of the solar eclipse is clearly known, why did the ancient Chinese continue to regard this natural phenomenon as a vision of "heaven-man induction" in the long history?
Zhu Youqi walked a few more steps in the hall and said, "Because absolute monarchy leads to absolute degradation!" Yongjun, it has always been like this, but I am not Yongjun! However, although I know what the cause of this solar eclipse is, the people of Li don't understand it, so they are so frightened that you ministers are still stirring up trouble - this is what I am most worried about!"
Wang Shouren has an unprecedented shame and unprecedented disappointment - after the small and effective Zhongxing, the government and the opposition are no longer determined to forge ahead. Since the blood is regarded as a challenge to the emperor's IQ, there is really nothing to say!
However, Wang Shouren has never been a person who only cast a net - he now belongs to the period of watching politics. To put it bluntly, it is the Taoism of the officialdom. He wants to prove that eagles sometimes fly lower than chickens, but chickens can never fly as high as eagles! He also wants to prove that the country is not good, and as a minister, he has to stand up to the wind! But all of this has a premise, that is, learn to master the rules first and use the rules!
With Wang Hua's father's backing and Li Dongyang's silent support, Wang Shouren can't think of a person's head!
Although Emperor Zhu Youcheng wanted to hone Wang Shouren, he couldn't help showing Wang Shouren's political talent, so in the second year of watching the government, Wang Shouren was appointed as the head of the Qing officials in Yunnan - although he was a six-class official, his responsibilities were not small, and he was determined to be thousands of miles away in the capital.
At that time, there were many civil cases in Yunnan, but they were all ordinary. After handling the case in hand, Wang Shouren will also pay attention to what his colleagues are talking about. The latest topic belongs to a group of female officials newly recruited by Emperor Xiaozong. It is said that there is a female champion named Shen Qionglian. In the Theory of Guarding the Palace, "If you have a way, you don't have to guard the palace. If you have no way, you don't have to guard the palace". The sharp words and sharpness surprised the world and won the appreciation of Emperor Xiaozong. She was awarded the title of female bachelor who specially lectured to the prince a collection of scriptures and history. .
Excellence makes women lonely, and loneliness makes men excellent. This sentence is true - wearing a bachelor's official uniform, Shen Qionglian, as a daughter, is still unique.
However, this has aroused fanatical discussion: some people say that although Emperor Xiaozong made her a female official, she is actually a concubine and a favorite, otherwise it is impossible to guard the talented and beautiful Empress Zhang without making another concubine; others say that she is the emperor's confidant, and the emperor has long looked at the world, and only a confidant is difficult to find; Others said that Empress Zhang also likes Shen Qionglian very much, which shows that Shen Qionglian is not only beautiful, but also quite good at welcoming skills, and Empress Zhang and she take what they need - the emperor loves a woman, which is more cost-effective than falling in love with three thousand beauties!
Wang Shouren shook his head and sent a hurdle of documents to the engineering department for cancellation - the work entrusted by the emperor to each government department was cancelled every five days. Each section is set up to supervise the matter (seven grades). Although the official position of the six subjects is not high, the power is not small. If there is any delay or ineffectiveness in each government, the six subjects can report to the emperor. Six subjects can also participate in the selection of officials, the imperial meeting, and the trial of guilty officials. The most important thing is that the six subjects have the right to return the emperor's edict. If the emperor's will is deemed inappropriate, it can be sealed and not implemented. ( Zhongchang, who framed Tang Yin, is in the middle of the household department.)
Although he sent a document, Wang Shouren did not dare to neglect it. He checked it again on the way. While looking at it, he accidentally bumped into a person. Looking up, this person was so familiar - he actually looked a little like Zhu Yunyu.
She was stunned when she saw Wang Shouren. She quickly bent down to pick up the documents on the ground and apologized repeatedly: "Sorry, I'm in a hurry to leave. I didn't see it!"
This voice is also very similar to Yunyu's voice. Seeing her wearing a bachelor's uniform, you can confirm that she is Shen Qionglian! When she finished picking it up and raised his head, he finally saw her face - this face was pure and bright, and a few strands of hair slipped down at the moment of lowering his head, and her hair was soft and elegant. The faint fragrance of her body was sucked into her nose, and Wang Shouren was confused for a moment. But at this moment, he was also inexplicably lost - she was not Yunyu, but her posture was a little similar, but obviously a little more than Yunyufeng.
She put her drooping hair behind her ears, said sorry again, and turned away!
Wang Shouren fixedly looked at the back of her departure, which was exactly the same as the woman she met in the market. At this time, several colleagues passed by and pushed Wang Shouren with a smile before he moved his steps.
These days, he sent several letters to Zhurang - the scholar has his own way to beat around the book. He tried to ask about Zhu Yunyu's whereabouts, but every reply from Zhurang disappointed him, so he asked puzzledly, "Didn't you say that you would see me when you entered the career?"
Every time he took off the government and put on his casual clothes, Wang Shouren would pick up the soles of his shoes and muttered to himself, "Yunyu, if you don't appear again, my heart will be worn out like these shoes!" Wang Shouren's eight-hour entertainment, in addition to shopping, is to study the letters with pictures and texts over and over again. When will he find an authority to announce the answer?!
However, now in Beijing, he is even more unfree and can't travel in all directions as before.
Anyway, there is no place to go home from work. Fortunately, I will work overtime in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. At this time, Dai Xian (Zhi Baozhi) from the Military Department came in and greeted Wang Shouren: "Master Wang, are you still working so late?"
Wang Shouren looked up and hurriedly said, "Brother Bao, why do you have time to visit the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"
Dai Mill said, "I'm about to leave Beijing. I'm really reluctant. Come and have a look before I leave!"
Wang Shouren asked, "Leave? You are the most diligent and courageous and good official in the military field for the people!"
Dai Mill sighed: "If you achieve this, you will lose here! It was because of the outspoken advice that I was squeezed into the Nanjing Household Department - who doesn't know that Nanjing officials are all elderly households! The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and my mouth doesn't work. Let them go!"
Looking at the lonely face, my heart is unspeakable sour.
