Wei Zhongxian took over the work of the three halls and borrowed the case of Wang Wenyan, which involved the Hexi Governor Li Ruoxing.

Judging from his meaning, he wanted to handle the Wang Wenyan case into a major case that is comparable to three major cases.

Many people don’t understand that the treasury of the Ming Dynasty had long been empty, and Wei Zhongxian even instigated the emperor to do such a big task. Can funds be turned over?

The eunuch party was working so vigorously, but the Donglin party members could only stare at each other, doing nothing and doing nothing to restrain themselves.

Once the first issue of the Beijing News was released, it caused a craze across the country, and their public opinion status was also impacted.

The power of public opinion is the foundation of the Donglin Party. When the fundamentals are shaken, the Donglin Party members don’t care about anything else and start running around, contacting fellow people, and joining in to protect themselves.

For a time, Yunjianji Society, Xiangshan Tongshe, Zhejiangxi Wenshe, and other folk cultural associations sprung out like bamboo shoots after a rain, breaking through the ground.

This day was the day when the Ming Dynasty promulgated the calendar of that year.

For the people everywhere, this is a big day, and they are all hungry and waiting for the arrival of the new calendar.

On such an important occasion, Zhu Youxiao personally issued a calendar according to the custom of the Imperial Palace.

"Long live the emperor, long live—"

The civil minister was led by Han Du, the chief minister of the cabinet, and Wu Xun followed the British Duke Zhang Weixian, entered the palace to congratulate him, shouting long live the mountain.

Zhu Youxiao loves and hates this kind of occasion.

I love this feeling of being alone in heaven and earth, and I don’t feel too happy. I hate that I won’t really deal with anything at all at the court meeting.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao sat down nervously and waved his hand to read the edict.

The Qianqing Palace Administration Registration Wang Chaofu served on the side. Hearing this, he took out the golden scroll from the exquisite box, spread it out in the air, and said with a sharp voice:

"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, the imperial edict said:

Since ancient times, emperors and emperors have always regarded respecting heaven and diligently diligent in the people as their primary task. I have promoted my ancestors and recited the Dharma of Yao and Shun, and I have been very enthusiastic about this.

Since the reign of the throne, only the best of heaven is the mercy of the people, and the food of the people in the lower house is the mercy of the people. However, this year, the disasters are still frequent, and the drought is even more severe. This is the case with haze and rain, day and night, and continuous vibration.

I have prayed sincerely in the palace, and the officials in the rituals' hall also followed the followers' prayers, and each was sincere in his heart, and he was fed to the heavens to show his warnings. Do not obey the responsibilities of false words.

I think that Yao Tang, water and drought are not enough to harm Zhilong's governance, but only when the king and his ministers share a warning can he answer the heaven of benevolence.

Those who are in harmony with me are in the ministers of the humeral bones, and all civil and military officials at home and abroad also hold the heavenly ranks and serve as heavenly responsibilities. Those who share my admiration for the heavenly ranks should all respect my feelings and share their duties, donate and play the fun, and seek new ideas for diligence.

In order to make disasters a blessing, the two rituals are safe, all the grains are thriving, and the food is not difficult, and the house is full of Xuqing to show that I am afraid of heaven and guard against the heavens and polite to the common people.

That is, the Renxu calendar was promulgated in the second year of Tianqi! I’m here.”

After the promulgation of the calendar, Zhu Youxiao led all officials to "sentences" to the Taimiao, and a group of people left the hall in a vast and powerful manner.

To put it bluntly, the "Shixiang" Taimiao is a ceremony for ancestor worship. The calendar is promulgated every year. It is held once every year in the spring, summer, autumn and Mengdong, and the emperor must preside over it personally.

Accompanied by the sound of Shao music, Zhu Youxiao, wearing a dragon robe and gorgeous clothes, picked up the wine bottle and presented it to the throne of the ancestors of the emperor three times. Every time he bowed, all the civil and military officials behind him also performed rituals.

Just as the emperor was drinking in the third round, Wei Guangwei rushed over and staggered into the class.

He immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Wei Guangwei is a member of the Donglin Party, and his father Wei Yunzhen is quite famous in the Donglin. At the end of last year, he strongly recommended Zhao Nanxing's Office to seal the Censorate of the Zhao Nanxing Office at the end of last year.

However, somehow he was still sleeping soundly at home when he was wailing up the mountain in the hall.

The sacrifice ceremony was about to end at this moment, and Wei Guangwei arrived late, and even the civil servants of the same Donglin were panicked and indignant at his behavior.

Zhu Youxiao respectfully sacrificed the last one to the royal family, glanced at him coldly, turned around and left, and said nothing.

All civil and military officials followed the emperor to salute the ancestors. Wei Guangwei was not standing or retreating, so he had to follow him funnyly.

He wanted to get into the crack in the ground, and he was embarrassed all over.

Wei Zhongxian also felt interesting when he saw this scene.

In his opinion, the Donglin Party has always paid attention to reputation and let the governor wait quietly to see how they solve this problem?

Should I cover up with my fellow party members or kill the donkey?

When Wei Zhongxian thought of this, he laughed unceremoniously, feeling like he was not worried about the big deal when he was watching the fun.

Seeing that the emperor had left, he waved his hand again, shook the flag with the monk and the guards, and followed the emperor with great fanfare.

Zhu Youxiao forgot about this matter and did not take it seriously, but for the Donglin Party members, this was a great humiliation.

For Wei Guangwei himself, it can be said to be a catastrophe.

Some people may ask, is it just that I have been ruined after sleeping for the first time?

Now is not later generations, this is the Ming Dynasty!

Not to mention that you are late at the critical moment when you are celebrating the New Calendar and worshiping ancestors in Taimiao, even if you are late for the court meeting on weekdays, you will receive a stick in the courtyard and lose your face. In the worst case, you will lose the black gauze on your head.

When he sat back on his seat, Zhu Youxiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This time, the calendar can be promulgated as scheduled. It is said that a foreigner made great contributions?"

"Yes." Wei Zhongxian closed his smile and said respectfully:

"This man is named Joshua Chan, who is a Franchise Man. Last year, the court bought cannons from the Franchise Manufacturer in Haojing, and he followed him."

At this time, Macau was ordinary and was not a place of prosperity that must be fought for. It was called "Haojing".

"Master..." Wei Zhongxian saw that the emperor was thinking about something, so he took two steps forward and said softly:

"This is called Joshua Tsang. He is not only proficient in astronomy and calendar, but also a great military weapon. Even Song Yingxing praised him."

"He will set off to return to the Haojing Casting Factory tomorrow. Are you really planning to put this man back?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youxiao walked out of his thoughts and said with a smile:

"What, can you even John Tang give gifts to your factory ministers and want to serve in the Ming Dynasty?"

"Oh, where is there—!"

Wei Zhongxian waved his hands repeatedly and said embarrassedly: "It's not that I don't know that even if I accept the gifts and recommend people in the cabinet, I will be able to do my best."

"I just said casually, you don't have to be nervous." Zhu Youxiao raised his lips and said, "What do you mean to this Johnson Tang?"

"Master, I have never seen the objects all over the body of this Francophone, and he is also proficient in military weapons and calendars, so he can't put them back."

"If such a talent does not keep him to serve the court, it is better to let the servants intercept him and kill him halfway!"

"Is it so important?" Zhu Youxiao knew it very well, but he deliberately laughed and said:

"Since the factory minister said that this Johnson Tang is quite talented in the astronomical calendar, let him go to the Imperial Heavenly Prison and become a half-time official."

"Call someone to tell him that Hao Jing doesn't have to go back. Since he has arrived in the capital, he will stay and show his knowledge. Being an official in the Ming Dynasty is no worse than being in Franji!"

Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed, as if leaving Joshua Chan was of great benefit to him, and bowed:

"Your Majesty's wiseness."

In fact, what is good for the Ming Dynasty is good for him, the so-called eunuch leader.

......

The Renxu calendar was promulgated in the second year of Tianqi. Once the news came out, all the people who heard it fell into the hearts.

The spring of the year has arrived, and the Xinli has been released to the people. Every farmer and household in various places are looking through the Xinli and are happily preparing to resume farming.

The edict was soon published in the Beijing News. The hundreds of letters were very happy to see it. The emperor was willing to act and led all officials to preside over the rituals. It seemed that the second year of the Tianqi period was about to be a good harvest.

The day after the ceremony, Zhu Youchao received a memorial filled with righteous indignation on the desk.

However, Wei Dazhong, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, impeached Wei Guangwei, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites who was also from Donglin, because of his late attendance.
