Chapter 1132
In the spring of the eleventh year of Wanli, Tang Yi has returned to his hometown in Taicang for three or four months. He still remembers that when he was a child, the yang energy rose, the earth warmed, and the drizzled drizzle was continuous. Sometimes it took a month or two. It was said that the plum rain in the southeast was very powerful. In fact, the lingering spring rain and autumn rain were even more uncomfortable. It was cold and cold, and the body was always tideful.
In order to avoid frostbite, Tang Yi pulled Pingfan and built a ground dragon in the house, split a lot of wood, and tidied it neatly.
I like to be clean and have been studying all the time. I have made mud and water. I am dirty and tired. My father doesn’t know if it’s because of his head or something, but he insists on doing it himself.
"You will understand in a few days."
Tang Yi always used this to be perfunctory, and several months passed. One after another, the rain was mixed with snowflakes and ice chips, and fell on the ground, forming a mixture of piles of water and ice.
The cold and slippery wind was in the bones. I hid in the house with earth dragons, and the heat came up, comfortable and soft. My wife held her son and snuggled up to her ordinary side.
"How is it? Be convinced! You just can't see far than our father."
Pingfan's face turned pale, he suddenly stood up and ran to Tang Yi's study.
"Dad, is it true that the Little Ice Age has arrived? Will the weather be colder in the future?"
Tang Yi put down his brush and rubbed his sore eyes, "Actually it has started long ago, but it will be more and more powerful in the future. As for when it will last, it is hard to say. Now, it is snowing in Jiangnan and the temperature cannot rise. This year's spring plowing is delayed, and it is inevitable to reduce production. It is really a troublesome!"
Pingfan listened carefully and said, "Do you want to write a letter to your elder brother and ask him to prepare more food?"
"Why, afraid of being hungry?"
"That's not!" Pingfan scratched his head, "It's not our turn to go hungry! I'm worried about the people in the southeast, and of course, there's also the price of grain, so that my elder brother can earn some pocket money."
The boy was obviously insincere. He was in charge of the Ming Dynasty savings bank's choreography. Now he was in charge of the Jiangnan region. The reduction in grain production will inevitably affect the grain prices and then affect the financial market. He wanted to get more grain, but it was just to increase the bargaining chips in his hands, affect the grain prices when necessary, and safeguard the interests of the financial group.
His thoughts cannot be hidden from Tang Yi, but Tang Yi agrees to hoard more food.
"It's not for the price of food, but for the people!" Tang Yi sighed: "Compared with natural disasters, what is really terrible is man-made disasters!"
Seeing that his father's eyes were deep and seemed to have some point, Pingfan hurriedly asked, "Dad, did Wanli do anything? Didn't Master Shen push him back?"
Those who play finance are all smart and smart people, and they also manage many people. Yesterday, they got news that in order to make up for the affairs of the cabinet, Shen Shixing personally entered the palace.
The sender of the letter was vivid and talked about the wonderful showdown between the king and the minister... Wanli refused to sign and approve the red as soon as he came. The soft Shen Shixing unexpectedly replied: "Your Majesty does not use red, but if there is a cabinet, it will take effect in half a month."
This is one of the constitutions left by Tang Yi. The cabinet has already combined the power of the vote and the approval of the winners. Of course, the emperor also has the power to criticize the winners. These two are called "geo" and "logical criticism" respectively. If both are ready and take effect immediately, only the cabinet's instructions will need to wait, ranging from three days to half a month. As for only the imperial criticism, it is the imperial decree. Whether it is the cabinet, or the various ministries, or the ministers, they can be rejected when encountering the imperial decree.
Before selecting the cabinet master, why did Wang Jiaping dare to use the imperial edict to push people in? Are you not afraid of Shen Shixing and others rejecting it?
There is a loophole here. After all, this time it is a place for the Grand Secretary of the Pavilion, and the various departments are not qualified to reject it. If the cabinet rejects it, it will be a real person, saying that they are in order to monopolize the power and exclude dissidents, which is morally untenable.
This is also one of the disadvantages of not really enacting royal regulations and limiting imperial power. After all, the power of affairs is quite confusing and ambiguous, fortunately the Political Consultative Conference rejected it.
Shen Shi was righteous and righteous. Whether the emperor criticized it or not was the same. To put it bluntly, it was just coming to make a move.
Qi, it's really Qi!
Wanli is about to explode. What is the Supreme Master, what is the mouth of Tianxian, what is the perfect saying, it is all a lie. I am not as good as my two puppets. If you can't do anything, you can't treat me as a puppet!
"I am the lord of the world, and the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet is just my counselor of the clerk! You are not the prime minister, so don't be shameless! Eat the Zhu family's food and smash the Zhu family's pot, and ask yourself, are you worthy of your conscience?"
He cursed the streets directly, which shows that Wanli was really angry, and Shen Shixing was still neither humble nor arrogant, and the wind was calm.
"Your Majesty, I will naturally have to serve the court with the salary of the court. The court accepts the support of the people and makes the decision for the people." A few words are equivalent to telling Wanli that what I eat is the food of the people, not the food of your Zhu family. "As the emperor, you should consider the people's lives, the country and the country, and select the wise and capable. This is what the court should do. Destroying the constitution will surely cause chaos in the world. It is really a matter of betrayal of your Majesty's destiny and loving the people."
Wanli didn't listen to his sincere words at all. He sneered: "Good words, really good words! But Master Shen, why don't you ask yourself, does a trace of destiny belong to me?"
Shen Shixing didn't speak, and looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water. Wanli took a deep breath. Obviously, it was useless to say more at this time!
Wanli really wanted to kill Shen Shixing immediately, but he knew that he had to endure it because he was not yet at the time to take action. He turned around and entered the bedroom, and Shen Shixing retreated from the Qianqing Palace.
A confrontation between the king and the minister ended quickly.
According to the rules, the appointments of the three cabinet masters have been announced. Only half a month later will a new cabinet be produced.
"I don't think Wanli has a chance to turn the tables." Pingfan said: "I can't think of anything else he can do? Without Wang Jiaping and others, he was a warrior whose hands and feet were cut off and a beast imprisoned in a cage. No matter how hard he tossed, it would be useless."
"otherwise!"
Tang Yi shook his head and smiled, "Never underestimate the opponent. If I guess well, Wanli's revenge should have begun."
If you don’t explode in silence, you will perish in silence. Tang Yi believes that things like imperial power will never compromise. The explosion is inevitable. It depends on what tricks Wanli can do!
...
I don’t know if it was Tang Yi who had a half-immortal body or the blind cat who met a dead mouse. Half a month after waiting to take office, a solar eclipse occurred in the capital. In less than three days, another earthquake occurred, shaking down a corner of the city wall in the northwest of the capital.
Suddenly, Sun Piyang, Minister of Personnel, immediately wrote a letter. He believed that a solar eclipse occurred, which formally represented the warning from God. A villain deceived the emperor and caused harm to the court. Earthquakes followed, which meant that the country was unstable and the country was dangerous. Those who were in charge of the country should immediately reflect on their mistakes, review themselves, and reflect on themselves to eliminate the disaster. Otherwise, if the changes in nature are imminent, and if the crime is punished by heaven, they will be punished.
Sun Piyang was respectful and took the lead in launching an attack, which was very effective. Many people stood up to blame the cabinet.
However, what is surprising is that there are few responders, and the people are even more sneered at by the people.
Just over three years ago, before Xu Wei left the Imperial College, he introduced a telescope to observe the changes in the stars in the sky. Although Southeastern had built many telescopes in the name of studying astronomical phenomena more than ten years ago, this one from the Imperial College is the first in the capital.
Through the telescope, people have seen the mystery of the sky for the first time.
The vast universe, the bright stars, and a crescent moon on their heads. They cannot find the legendary Moon Palace, nor can they see Chang'e and Wu Gang, and the sun, moon and stars do not revolve around the earth. On the contrary, the earth is revolving around the sun.
A few years ago, scholars in the southeast believed that the sun was the center of the universe. As the telescope became bigger and more sophisticated, they realized that the sun was just an ordinary star.
They drew the graphics of the sun, moon and stars, created complex models to conceal the mystery of the movement of celestial bodies. The complex system of immortals collapsed, without Chang'e, without Taibai Venus, without Wenquxing, Wuquxing, without Thirty-three days, without Lingxiao Palace, without Yaochi, without Peaches, and without Ziwei Emperor Star!
Everything is nonsense, and it is even more nonsense!
People have learned the causes of solar eclipses from the model, which is just an inevitable result of the positions and trajectories of several celestial bodies. This is true for solar eclipses and most of earthquakes.
Haven't you seen the sun just a big fireball? Maybe there are hot fireballs under the earth. The fireball explodes and explodes the strata, and an earthquake occurs. Many people who go overseas to inspect have seen peaks that spur flames and thick smoke. The scorching magma flows out and condenses into magma rocks.
On the land of the Ming Dynasty, there were also conical volcanoes and magma...
The mysterious view of destiny that was originally lingering in people's hearts quickly collapsed. Sun Piyang rejected the latest astronomical theories and stubbornly adhered to the previous concepts.
Not only did his memorial not arouse everyone's response, but instead triggered a bigger wave of rebound.
The political representatives who came to Beijing one after another criticized Sun Piyang for his ignorance.
They believe that natural phenomena have no relationship with whether they are virtuous or not. However, in the face of natural disasters, if the court responds to them inadequately, it is a dereliction of duty!
What is really important is disaster relief, resettlement of the people, rebuilding houses, not talking about the illusory destiny, nor can the suffering of the people be regarded as a tool to attack opponents.
It is really unbelievable that the Minister of Personnel of the Ming Dynasty and the important minister in charge of the selection of the ranks were so shallow. It is really heartbreaking.
Fang Congzhe, who had just been elected as a representative of the political affairs, joined forces with more than 100 representatives of the political affairs affairs in the southeast to jointly propose a removal case, demanding that Sun Piyang be abolished as the Minister of Personnel and re-select a Secretary of State with both moral integrity and ability.
"The picture is revealed. They want to kill all the loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty!" Wanli was so angry that he was furious. He became more and more desperate. Could it be that he would let the Tang Party eliminate all his people?
"His Majesty!"
In despair, British Duke Zhang Yuangong hurried to Wanli.
"Good thing, a great thing!"
"How do you say it?" Wanli asked in surprise.
"Go back to Your Majesty." Zhang Yuangong lowered his voice, "Ma Fang, the general of Datong, has agreed to send troops to help eliminate the Tang Party. As for Qi Jiguang, the general of Ji Town, he intends to retire and return home."
"Qi Jiguang is playing tricks!" Wanli said politely: "These two towns are closest to the capital. It is enough to pull one. As long as Qi Jiguang does not move around and eliminate Tang Yi's gangsters, it will be easy."
Chapter completed!
