Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 325
Zhu Yuanzhang strictly prohibited astronomy, and any private scholars were sent to the garrison, and those who dared to teach were executed.Only officials of the Qin Tianjian are allowed to practice this way, and they are ordered to "never move, and their descendants only learn astronomy, calendar and calculation, and are not allowed to learn other careers", in order to prevent others from spying on the will of heaven, spreading astronomy, and taking the opportunity to disrupt the country.

The reason why he guards so strictly is because Boss Zhu really believes in this stuff.

And we know that the reason why most successful people believe in metaphysics is because their success is metaphysics.

This is especially true for Boss Zhu, who started with half a bowl.

And at the important nodes of his road to success, he cannot do without the companionship of metaphysics.

Before the Battle of Poyang Lake, Zhu Yuanzhang was hesitant about whether to fight Chen Youliang.It was Liu Ji who said to him:
'Looking at the sky yesterday, Venus is in front and Mars is in the back. '

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and said, "I also watch the sky at night, just as I said." '

So he ordered the army to advance and fight Chen Youliang to the death.

In November of the first year of Wu, "gold and fire will be divided in ugly, and fire will chase gold in the future, and Qi and Lu will be divided." Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Liu Jizhan to say "it is appropriate to show our military power."Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Xu Da's Northern Expeditionary Army to go north from Jianghuai to conquer Shandong.

"So, Master, were you using the celestial phenomena to help my father make up his mind on those two occasions?" Amid the sound of cicadas, Lao Liu asked.

"You can put it this way." Liu Bowen nodded slowly and said: "In the battle of Poyang Lake, our army was on both sides. We had no choice but to fight to the death. My lord, the genius of heaven, naturally knows this well, but he is only worried that Zhang Shicheng will take the opportunity. It was a surprise attack on Yingtian, so he was hesitant to make a decision. The old man just made the best use of the situation and gave him a push."

"The Northern Expedition was a different situation. The Yuan Dynasty still had a huge military force, but the hearts of the people were broken and they had no will to fight. Under such circumstances, our army should fight quickly and attack Dadu. As long as Yuan Shun is forced to With Emperor Beishou, the Yuan army in the interior would collapse without a fight, and Wang Baobao would also be helpless.

"On the contrary, if we fight steadily and let the opponent calm down, we will fall into a bitter battle. If we want to completely expel the Tartars, we don't know how long it will take." Liu Bowen said lightly: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the opportunity is fleeting. , the old man will naturally try his best to persuade your father to show his might."

"Understood." Zhu Zhen was taught: "The celestial phenomenon is the heart of heaven. Those who interpret the celestial phenomena are interpreting the will of heaven. Authoritative experts like Master are the spokespersons of heaven."

He didn't say any more, but the implication was very clear... just like the Eastern King is to the Heavenly King.You don't know which sentence he really spoke on behalf of the sky, and which sentence contained private goods.

"That's right." Liu Bowen said with a smile, "A child can be taught."

"The trouble is that authoritative experts can't monopolize the right to speak, and other big and small magicians will also give conclusions that are in line with their own positions according to their own wishes." Zhu Zhen sighed and asked:

"I wonder how they will interpret it this time?"

"It's nothing more than enfeoffment, empty seal and Qingzhang." Liu Bowen said clearly with clear eyes.

The star change in June of the ninth year of Hongwu lasted an incomparably long time.That star has spent 48 days in Ziweiyuan.

When it disappeared, the autumn leaves were already turning yellow...

Such an obvious and long-lasting star change, and it was in the airspace representing the emperor, naturally aroused great anxiety for Boss Zhu. He had to fast for a whole month to reflect on his sins to the sky.

At the same time, the officials of Qin Tianjian were ordered to study the astrology carefully and reveal the warning from heaven.But whether it is his own conclusions obtained by comparing the astronomical documents, or the report of Qin Tianjian, or the sayings of great Confucians such as Song Lian, they all point to this as a sign of a catastrophe in the country or an injustice in the world.

So on the ninth day of September, on Chongyang Day, Zhu Yuanzhang had to issue an imperial edict to sin against himself, and asked people all over the world to write to the court, pointing out political gains and losses or injustices, and offering criticism or suggestions.

Upon seeing this edict, Liu Bowen sighed to his disciples, "Father Ni didn't hold on after all, and was still crushed. It can be seen that the saying that the stronger you are, the weaker you are, there is nothing wrong with Emperor Hongwu. "

Zhu Zhen nodded with a gloomy expression. His father's legislation was too strict and the punishments were too harsh, especially the case of Wei Guan Gaoqi, a Hongwu immigrant, and this year's empty seal case, which offended too many people.I don't know how many people hate him.

On weekdays, those who hated him to the bone, were forced by his severe punishment and laws, and dared not speak up.Now he actually took the initiative to ask people to write a letter to point out his fault, isn't that just what those people want?

Zhu Zhen could already foresee what would happen next...

~~
Sure enough, in just one month, the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China received thousands of copies of "Feng Zhao Chen Yan Shu".

The officials of Zhongshu Province were about to unseal these memorials according to the usual practice, but Hu Weiyong, the prime minister of the left, stopped him and said:
"Bold, the emperor understands the order and asks people to speak up boldly! How can we go overboard and read these memorials for the emperor?"

"Yes, Mr. Xiang." The official of Zhongshu Province put all these memorials back into the box.

"Put a seal on it and send it to the Hall of Martial Arts." Hu Weiyong ordered again.

"As ordered."

Seeing his subordinates carry out all the memorials, Hu Weiyong turned around and entered the guard room.

"Master Xiang." Zhongshu Zuocheng Ding Yu followed in, closed the door of the duty room and said, "Is this inappropriate?"

"What's wrong?" Hu Weiyong sat behind the desk, flipping through the memorial without looking up.

"There must be a lot in it..." Ding Yu swallowed and said, "You are deceiving the king, you are lying!"

"So what?" Hu Weiyong said indifferently: "It was the emperor who personally ordered to say 'speak bluntly, and the speaker is not guilty'. Even if it is a bit too much, it is still a state of governance."

After a pause, he raised his head and glanced at Ding Yudao; "Ding Xiangjue still thinks that the emperor doesn't have the magnanimity of Tang Taizong?"

Ding Yuxin said that is not nonsense.He could only shake his head in embarrassment and said, "Master Xiang, you know me, that's not what you meant."

"Then what do you mean?" Hu Weiyong asked calmly.

"I'm just worried. I've offended the emperor, and we're going to die." Ding Yu had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Hahaha." Hu Weiyong laughed and put down his pen, stood up and patted Ding Yu's shoulder and said: "First, the sky is falling, and the tall one is holding it up. It's not Ding Xiang's turn to be unlucky if you come to eat it. .”

"Yes..." Ding Yu hurriedly apologized with a smile: "But I feel sorry for Enxiang, and when Enxiang suffers, I feel ten times more uncomfortable than myself in my heart."

"Hahahaha, thank you Ding for your concern." Hu Weiyong laughed again, as if he saw his past self in this person.

"But as a prime minister, you can't meet the king's evil. When you should let the emperor know that people are against you, you can't take yourself too seriously. Otherwise, how can you let the emperor hear the truth?"
