Chapter 102 Chongzhen’s imperial edict shocked the world

In May of the second year of Chongzhen, there was a solar eclipse and a court meeting.

Civil and military officials gathered.

"Wrong, wrong, wrong again, what do you do for food!"

An angry voice came from Zhu Youjian's mouth, and the entire court fell silent instantly.

In the main hall, an official was lying on the ground, trembling.

"Your Majesty, forgive me!"

The official spoke tremblingly.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the wrong calculation of the solar eclipse is almost fatal to them, and it is not even an exaggeration to say that they will lose their heads because of it.

"Excuse me. How can I forgive you? This is already the third time!"

"Do you want the world to see that I am not worthy of the emperor?"

Zhu Youjian's face was gloomy.

You have to speak subconsciously.

Originally, he just wanted to use this big court meeting to start his plan, but he didn't expect that Qin Tianjian would come up with such a big trick.

And not once or twice, but several times.

Thinking of the king who had subjugated his country again, Chongzhen couldn't help but feel angry.

But he didn't wait for his anger to explode.

A figure stood up.

"Your Majesty, the official of Taiwan is testing the condition. This country abides by the law. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was eaten but not eaten. It is no wonder that it happened today. It is advisable to repair and treat it in time and use Western methods."

Xu Guangqi, the Minister of Rites, spoke.

His words instantly silenced the venue.

And listening to Xu Guangqi's words, Jiang Chen's words suddenly appeared in Zhu Youjian's mind.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, Xu Aiqing. Then you can issue an edict to the Westerners to compile the new calendar, with Xu Aiqing as the supervisor."

Zhu Youjian nodded and agreed directly.

This suddenly made the court even quieter.

The calendar has not been updated for hundreds of years, so problems naturally arise one after another.

Since the Tianqi period, Qin Tianjian has made many mistakes in calculating solar eclipses based on the "Datong Calendar". In 1610, another solar eclipse occurred outside the calculated solar system.

Since then, the direction of the whole court has changed somewhat. Some officials believe that "the disaster is caused by heaven and man" and "the disaster is particularly unusual". Some officials believe that the Qin Tianjian's method of guessing the solar eclipse is wrong. In addition, with the advent of the Age of Discovery, Western technology With the influx of people, some officials began to propose using the Western calendar to supplement and reform the traditional calendar.

However, this undoubtedly encountered a lot of resistance.

Since ancient times, China has been the center of heaven and earth. It only listens to the world using Chinese methods, but never listens to China using the methods of Yi and Di.

Neither the emperors before the Ming Dynasty nor Zhu Youjian took sides in this regard.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Youjian agreed directly this time.

"His Majesty!"

Someone subconsciously wanted to speak.

But he didn't say anything yet.

A figure stood out at this moment.

"Your Majesty, it has been nearly three hundred years since Emperor Taizu Gao founded the Ming Dynasty. Starting from Emperor Taizu Gao, the vassal kings divided the world to protect our Ming Dynasty. However, for nearly 300 years, the masters were not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations or engage in business, but the national treasury required It was natural for Taizu and Emperor Gao to shoulder the vassal's profits, but now two hundred years have passed, the Ming Dynasty has more than one million masters, and the vassal king's extravagant expenses are even more difficult for the court to bear. "

Zhou Yanru, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward and spoke in a sonorous voice.

And his words immediately stopped the figure who was about to open his mouth to argue.

During the entire court meeting, every official could not help but be stunned for a moment.

All eyes immediately focused on Zhou Tingru.

vassal.

Everyone knows that this is the biggest problem of the Ming Dynasty.

However, even someone as powerful as Zhang Juzheng did not dare to touch the vassal king.

But at this moment, Zhou Tingru actually directly mentioned the issue of the vassal king during the court meeting.At this time, everyone was not only shocked, but also confused.

Even the famous cabinet minister is like this.

"Zhou Tingru, do you know what you are talking about?"

Zhu Youjian's expression on the high seat could not be seen, but his words suddenly became cold.

"Your Majesty, the question raised by the vassal king is a question raised by our country, the Ming Dynasty. It is now a matter that must be resolved."

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Zhou Tingru opened his mouth and even knelt on the ground.

At this moment, the entire court could hear the sound of pindrops, no one spoke, and no one dared to speak.

From time to time, people looked at Zhou Tingru, looking a little confused and confused.

At this moment, on the high seat, Zhu Youjian spoke immediately after being silent.

"What Zhou Aiqing said is absolutely true. Emperor Taizu Gao divided the vassal kings into vassal kings to consolidate our Ming Dynasty. It was a great wisdom. But things are changing all the time. Now it's time to take action. I heard that there are huge profits overseas, and the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty are tied to one place. A place to exact your vengeance.”

"I recently heard an expert say that with the power of the world, the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, rather than being left behind in the Ming Dynasty and wasting the treasury, it is better to let them go to other places and give them a foundation to develop their ambitions. However, I also understand the system of Taizu, and I also understand that Questions from past dynasties, so I want to use the kings as an outsider to give them the right to establish kingdoms, but I am not an unkind person, so I do everything voluntarily."

Zhu Youjian spoke slowly, and his sonorous words resounded throughout the court.

And this time, the entire court looked at each other in shock.

For a moment, no one knew how to react.

However, they didn't wait for their reaction.

One of the cabinet ministers simply fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The sound rises.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Following a sound, a famous cabinet minister soon fell to the ground.

At this moment, there was no objection in the entire court.

This is also the first time for such unity.

Even if someone wanted to speak, they couldn't help but stop mid-sentence.

After all, Zhu Youjian just gave him a choice.

Whether the feudal king is willing or not depends on whether the feudal king will force it.

As long as you don't force it, there won't be any problems.

And as long as the vassal king can be moved, it will be a great good thing for their family and the Ming Dynasty, so why not do it.

"Since everyone has no objections, let's do this and let the world know!"

"The kings only need to pay a certain amount of tribute in the future to gain the right to establish a feudal state and enjoy the kingdom!"

Chongzhen spoke, finally setting the tone.

Of course, everyone didn't know at this moment that the so-called tribute was not the kind of existence they imagined.

As for the announcement of this system, the waves it could create would be much greater than they imagined.

There are many feudal kings who are just waiting to die.

However, there is no such thing as a fool.

Even if they don't want to, are their descendants really not willing?

This is almost a conspiracy to push the favor order.

No feudal king could refuse.

The number of vassal kings in the Great Tomorrow can be said to have surpassed that of previous dynasties. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is too harsh to say that it is ancient and modern. Such a huge group of vassal kings, with a waste like King Fu, naturally also has extremely outstanding abilities. The vassal king.

Among such a large group of feudal kings, there are always some who are not willing to accept the status quo, even among the descendants of useless feudal kings.
