prosperous age

At this time, Yin Shixuan, who has always been seldom assertive, suddenly said: "Look for the Tianjian Qin. After this incident, His Majesty will definitely hold the Tianjian Qin accountable. They may have thought of a reason. At that time, we will have a unified voice. It will solve the crisis of Qin Tianjian, and they will definitely not refuse."

Yin Shizhen's words were like enlightenment, which suddenly made Wei Guangde's plan that was not yet fully mature before feasible.

At the beginning, he only considered expressing this solar eclipse as a good thing, but he didn't figure out how to express it.

What he said before, the main purpose of the events that happened after the solar eclipse in recent years is to convince others that Emperor Jiajing seems to be slightly different from the previous emperors. I don't think it's my own problem, and I don't have the panic shown by other emperors at all. I think it's caused by my ineffective governance.

Well, it's a bit of a habit of throwing the pot away.

Naturally, Wei Guangde didn't know much about Qin Tianjian.

However, a solar eclipse phenomenon, in his opinion, is an ordinary and no longer ordinary natural phenomenon that occurred in ancient times, but it was covered with a veil of mystery, which obviously exceeded his cognition.

However, Qin Tianjian is specialized in doing this, maybe they have some better reasons to explain their mistakes in this matter.

Probably because at present, it is recognized by people that "the sun controls yang, the moon controls yin, and the stars control harmony. Yang is virtue, yin is punishment, and harmony is work. Therefore, a solar eclipse will lose virtue and a country will be evil; a lunar eclipse If you lose your punishment, the country will hate it; if the comet sees it, you will lose harmony and the country will hate it.”

Wei Guangde knew this, so he didn't know how to make a comeback, how to perfectly explain this solar eclipse phenomenon.

But since Qin Tianjian is in this business, they must know what to do, otherwise, some of them might lose their heads.

"Your Highness, Lord Yin's words are very true, what I said earlier to keep the alchemists from talking nonsense in front of the emperor, but I missed how to remedy this solar eclipse.

The two examples I cited earlier are actually because I don’t think my behavior is wrong now, so in order not to offend Longyan, I first discussed with the people of Qin Tianjian and gave an explanation to His Majesty. "

Seeing King Yu nod his head straight, Wei Guangde felt a little arrogant in his heart.

Although, at the moment everyone in the room is discussing how to fool Emperor Jiajing, it is certainly not a good thing to spread the word.

However, at this time, falsification is for the sake of righteousness. As long as one takes the title of righteousness, there will be losses in personal morality.

King Yu didn't agree immediately, but looked at Zhang Juzheng again, and when he saw him, he nodded with a smile on his beard, obviously agreeing with what Wei Guangde and Yin Shizhen said.

Then he turned his head and said to Li Fang who was beside him: "Go and inform Mr. Gao to see if Mr. Gao agrees to do this."

Hearing what King Yu said, Wei Guangde's heart tightened.

King Yu still insisted on the imminent matter, and even sent someone to ask Gao Gong for instructions.

"Your Highness, of course you must inform Mr. Gao about this matter, but we can't just wait in the palace."

Wei Guangde spoke immediately.

"Huh? So what should you do according to Mr.?"

King Yu immediately asked.

"This is what I think about this matter. I asked Li San to take Chen Ju back to the palace in a carriage, and asked him to meet Gao Zhong, Eunuch Gao. We must stop those alchemists who were announced into the palace no matter what. Before we contact them , we must not let them enter the palace alone to meet you."

Wei Guangde spoke.

"Stop people in the palace?"

King Yu just read something in a low voice, then nodded, he wanted to understand what Wei Guangde meant.

Whether it is inside or outside the palace, it is actually very difficult to stop people, because in the streets around the palace, there are people from Dongchang, Jinyiwei and other yamen patrolling and guarding, and the one who brought people in was the imperial servant. Without Gao Zhong's presence, those people might attract officers and soldiers.

Seeing King Yu nodding, Wei Guangde continued: "The next step is to invite Mr. Yin to go to Qin Tianjian as soon as possible to meet with Jianzheng and others, and to get along with each other so that we can explain to those alchemists."

Without waiting for others to continue to interrupt, Wei Guangde immediately said: "Also, not only Mr. Gao needs to be notified, but I think Mr. Xu Ge should also be notified. This matter will be troublesome to Brother Uncle."

While Wei Guangde was speaking, he looked at Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng nodded and said, "Naturally, it's a matter of duty."

"That's it, Mr. Yin is going to Qin Tianjian, Mr. Zhang and Eunuch Li are going to contact Elder Xu Ge and Mr. Gao. Your Highness and I must prepare the money as soon as possible.

Our side is ready, I will take the silver and wait outside the imperial city, Lord Yin will come to me immediately if there is news, so that we can lobby those Taoists and alchemists.

If Mr. Xu Ge and Mr. Gao have any good ideas, Mr. Lao Zhang and Eunuch Li will have to work hard. "

Wei Guangde began to make personnel arrangements, and looked around the crowd after speaking, waiting for their answers.

However, neither Yin Shizhen nor Zhang Juzheng expressed their views, but King Yu spoke first: "Gu also followed to the imperial city, if you are worried about leaking the news, I will share a carriage with Shandai, no one would have thought of that."

It would be best for King Yu to go too, as everyone will be outside the imperial city together, and if there is an emergency, we can find a way to solve it in time.

Wei Guangde nodded, looked at Yin Shizhen and Zhang Juzheng, they also nodded at this time, obviously they had no objection.

"Okay, everyone split up immediately. I will go outside the mansion to discuss with Chen Ju, and ask him to return to the palace to invite Eunuch Gao, and then come back and check the treasury with the prince."

While talking, Wei Guangde got up, but when he was about to go out, he suddenly thought of something, then turned his head and said to Li Fang who was following behind him: "Eunuch Li, this time you are looking for Mr. Gao, the focus is on Wu Shangshu. "

"Wu Shangshu? What do you say?"

Li Fang asked in surprise.

"The solar eclipse is related to etiquette, which is within the scope of the Ministry of Rites. What I am most afraid of now is that Wu Shangshu will use the incident of the solar eclipse to accuse the current immorality. You must know that this Wu Shangshu is a person who can't tolerate sand in his eyes. I What I am most afraid of is that Mr. Gao will not be able to persuade Wu Shangshu, and Wu Shangshu has told His Majesty to cultivate morality in administration."

Wei Guangde explained that at the moment Yin Shizhen and Zhang Juzheng were also on the side, and they frowned slightly when Wei Guangde mentioned Wu Shan.

What Wei Guangde is worried about is not alarmist talk, Wu Shan is still a tough man in the court.

In the past few years, when Yan Song's power spread all over the government and the public, he dared not to sell Yan Song's account. Not only did he refuse to marry Yan's family, but he often targeted the Yan family.

"Eunuch Li, when you go to Mr. Gao, you must remind him of this. The Ministry of Rites will definitely file a memorial for the solar eclipse. We must not let Wu Shangshu be stupid and ruin the prince's important affairs."

Zhang Juzheng hurriedly said.

Counting the people of the Six Departments and the Nine Ministers, it means that Wu Shan is more obstinate and insists on death. Others, such as Yang Bo and others, are actually very reasonable. They also have their own persistence, but they also know how to turn around. Only Wu Shan is not .

Just like this "Zhaociyi Zhu", Wu Shan didn't know that Emperor Jiajing didn't like red tape?
Of course he knew that Emperor Jiajing didn't like these procedures, and he didn't want to go through the vassal king's resignation ceremony step by step, but the documents to be played were still strictly in accordance with the former court's ritual system. If Yang Bo and others would definitely choose other methods Probe first, find out the emperor's mind, and finally write it down.

"I see."

Li Fang nodded and agreed.

Then Wei Guangde turned around and walked out of the house to the palace to look for Chen Ju.

"Ding ding dong dong."

A series of crisp horse bells sounded from far to near, and a brand-new scarlet carriage was slowly approaching from the end of the road.

The carved beams and paintings on the frame of the carriage look very luxurious.

There were three people sitting in the driver's seat in front of the car, except for the driver in the middle, there was another person sitting there on each side, swinging their legs leisurely.

The three of them were all dressed as servants in the palace, but the clothes on the people sitting on both sides were obviously newer than the ordinary servants in the palace.

"Can you tell who's in the car?"

There was also a carriage parked at the corner. At this time, the curtain was raised, and two pairs of eyes were staring at the carriage coming from the opposite side.

The people in the car were Wei Guangde and Chen Ju, and the main road behind them was the gate of Xiyuan.

Naturally, they couldn't see anyone in the opposite car, but Chen Ju was also an old man in Yongshou Palace, and he was there when Huang Jin ordered people to go out to invite people. Guess who's in the car.

Before, people in Prince Yu's Mansion were divided into several ways to handle affairs, and Wei Guangde and King Yu's side were naturally the fastest.

How much gold and silver is in the palace, there is an account to check, but this time you can't take the cash, you can only use the meeting ticket, the meeting ticket in the palace is not enough, Wei Guangde asked someone to go to the villagers to borrow some to cover it Only then can I meet the needs for this time, and I will ask someone to send the cash back in the next two days.

As for Zhang Juzheng's side, it was also very smooth, Xu Jie nodded after knowing the matter and the response of the palace, which was regarded as approval of the palace's plan.

Afterwards, Zhang Juzheng naturally rushed to Xiyuan to meet Yu Wang, Wei Guangde and others.

As for Li Fang, there was a little delay. After Gao Gong knew about this matter, he thought about it in detail before nodding and approving Wei Guangde's proposal. After that, Gao Gong naturally went to see Wu Shan.

You know, at this time the Ministry of Rites is still discussing how to deal with the aftermath of this matter.

When the solar eclipse happened, the Ministry of Rites sent people to Taichang Temple to summon musicians and arrange rescue ceremonies, but no matter how hard they rushed, it was definitely useless.

Improper first aid is punishable.

Fortunately, Qin Tianjian did not predict this solar eclipse, and more responsibilities could only be pushed to Qin Tianjian's side in the end.

It's just a pity that Qin Tianjian is actually under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, so in the end, the Ministry of Rites actually took all the responsibility, just sharing it.

Gao Gong knew what happened in Xiyuan, and knew the response of Prince Yu's Mansion, so he naturally knew what the Ministry of Rites should do next to better cooperate and appease Emperor Jiajing's emotions.

And Wei Guangde thought that the most difficult task was actually undertaken by Yin Shizhen. How did he conspire with Qin Tianjian to find a perfect explanation to explain the sudden solar eclipse phenomenon, and it was completed very smoothly.

Of course, the people from Qin Tianjian didn't know what happened to Emperor Jiajing, so when they came to ask Prince Yu's mansion, they thought they had offended His Royal Highness Yu Wang because of their improper work.

Qin Tianjian immediately told Yin Shizheng who came to the door what he said on the observatory. He originally thought that such a statement would be difficult to fool the people who lived in the Yuwang Mansion, but he did not expect that Yin Shizheng would immediately approve it after listening to their explanation.

When Yin Shizhen knew that the Qintian Supervisor was writing a memorial, he was willing to help them.

Who is Yin Shizhen?

Jinshi of the current dynasty is quite famous in the poetry circle.

It is good to have someone like him to help Lanse play the chapter, Qin Tianjian is busy thanking him.

Yin Shizhen knew the importance of this memorial, and Qin Tianjian was the most authoritative yamen to explain the anomaly in the sky. After all, it involved gods, gods and strange things, which yamen in the imperial court would dare to say that he was good at it.

Therefore, while Yin Shixuan sent people to report back to King Yu, he stayed in Qin Tianjian and personally helped to write this memorial, striving to make it complete and not giving any loopholes to other people in the court.

With the news sent by Yin Shizhen, Yu Wang and Wei Guangde who were waiting outside Xiyuan had a reason to explain the solar eclipse phenomenon, and they naturally wanted to stop those alchemists who were called into Xiyuan by Emperor Jiajing and tell them What should I say.

There are two main gates to enter and exit Xiyuan, one is the Xiyuan Gate facing the Xihua Gate of the Forbidden City, which is the main passage for Emperor Jiajing to enter and exit Xiyuan, and the other is Xi'an Gate.

On the side of Xi'an Gate, King Yu, Zhang Juzheng who came back earlier, and a servant sent by Gao Zhong were guarding there, while on the side of Xiyuan Gate were Wei Guangde and Chen Ju.

Both the Forbidden City and Xiyuan belonged to the imperial gardens of the Ming Dynasty, but between the Forbidden City and Xiyuan, some of the 24 yamen of the inner court were built, including the Yumajian, Yinshoujian, Shangyijian, Sishijian, etc., as well as gunpowder. Bureau, Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, etc.

Not far from the gate of Xiyuan, there are imperial supervisors and Shangbao supervisors on the left and right sides. In order to facilitate the transportation of goods, there is a long corridor leading directly to West Chang'an Avenue. Now Wei Guangde and Chen Ju are at the corner of the street, looking at the opposite direction. Here comes the carriage.

"If it's them, the person sitting inside should be Lan Daoxing."

Chen Ju answered Wei Guangde's question and revealed who was in the car.

"Lan Dao OK?"

Hearing Chen Ju say this name, Wei Guangde recalled the image of the rather ostentatious Taoist priest he saw in Lingji Palace back then in his mind.

It seems that after that meeting, Wei Guangde hasn't dealt with this Taoist priest for several years.

I remember that time, Lan Daoxing still knew himself, but it was just relying on the publicity of the palace examination and the Xuanfu battle. It has been so many years, and there was a new palace examination in the past two years. I can't remember myself anymore.

"Shall I go over and call people away first?"

At this moment, Chen Ju spoke.

Wei Guangde nodded.

This is the step they had agreed upon before, and Chen Ju, the servant in the palace, would naturally call him aside, so that Wei Guangde could communicate with the alchemist in the car to persuade him.

These servants who were sent out were either Gao Zhong's godsons or Huang Jin's godsons, and Chen Ju also realized that Huang Jin was doing them a favor from the very beginning.

Chen Ju jumped out of the car, stood in the middle of the road, and then walked slowly towards the carriage.
