"Companion, are you saying that someone pointed his gun at Master Xu for the position of the cabinet, involved Shi Ge Lao, and then involved me, so that once this matter breaks out, the cabinet will vacate two seats at once?" Yang Gengai heard Wang Chengen say this, and he also understood why he was shot while lying down, everything was for power!

"Back to Your Majesty, yes......" Wang Chengen lowered his head and replied yes, which was regarded as an affirmation of this matter.

"...... so?" Yang Reform was speechless, the sinister nature of this person's heart is far beyond his imagination! He spent a lot of energy, and he did not hesitate to borrow the country's eunuch to collect money, to ensure that the court had money to go to disaster relief, and tried his best for the Ming Dynasty, but in the hearts of some people, they were afraid that this disaster relief was not as important as their official position! Even the matter of raising prisons, which can gather a lot of money for the imperial court, has also become a tool for their struggle.

"Can you guess who has the audacity?"

"Back to Your Majesty, this, the slave maid really has no certainty, and there is no basis, but judging from the current situation, this person's scheming is very deep, and what he has done has left no clues, so it is estimated that it is difficult to find him in this matter, and it is impossible to speculate who is to blame it, however, Your Majesty, if you scrutinize the possible selection of people from this cabinet change, I am afraid that there will be some gains." Wang Chengen hated this person who was a bad emperor.

"Possible candidates for this cabinet change?" Yang Gengai has no candidates for this cabinet change, and he doesn't know who to replace, and he doesn't have any eyebrows in his heart, but he purely feels that the current cabinet is not powerful, and decides to find a new group of people to replace these people. Secretly start and engage in conspiracy.

Yang Gengai thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think that who might enter his cabinet would sabotage the affairs of Guozijian.

“…… Forget it, this matter, I'm afraid I can't find anything, anyway, now the matter of lending has been solved, and it doesn't matter if I don't check it, it is estimated that this person will not show up again, alas...... Jinyiwei and the people of Dongchang, forget it...... This matter, let him pass......" Yang Reform thought about this matter for a long time, and felt that this matter should be just let him go over, this pig friend who was hidden deep in his own body, after such a stirring by himself, I am afraid that he will not come out again. I'm afraid it's impossible to catch him.

"Slave and maid obey orders......" Although Wang Chengen agreed to come down, he was extremely unconvinced in his heart, and was ready to investigate this matter to the end, this matter can already be seen as someone "shooting" at the emperor, this matter, if it is not found out, in the future, the guy who dares to grin at the emperor is afraid that there will be more.

"It's not too early, let's go back to the palace." Yang Reform was too tired today, but as soon as he relaxed now, he immediately felt tiredness sweeping over.

"The slave and maid obey the order, and then go back to the palace." Wang Chengen promised, it was indeed not early this day, and it was time to go back to the palace.

A group of people, the carriage clanged towards the Forbidden City.

Yang Gengai sat in the carriage, although he was very tired, he couldn't sleep, and the shock absorption measures of this carriage were really bad. I rolled around a few times, and finally, I turned my mind back to today's events.

Today's events, can be described as a lot, look at the city wall, for this and the wild boar skin battle, have a number in my heart, look at the hot air balloon, the military use in the future, have some understanding, look at the situation of the national prison, can be regarded as hot, the problem of the country, I also dealt with it in a timely manner, did not cause a big disaster. All things counted, it's not bad.

Yang Gai lifted the curtain and said to Wang Chengen: "Big companion, send someone to Liulizhai to give a message to Li Niang, and let her start the work of collecting wool immediately, the more you collect, the better!" I have a lot of use, I don't have to wait for the craftsmen in the south, let's collect it first, wool, cotton or something. Yang reform summed up today's gains and losses, this military uniform, as a training uniform, is directly related to the soldiers' training time, training time, is related to the soldiers' combat effectiveness, soldiers' combat effectiveness, is directly related to the success or failure of the war, if he does not change the soldiers' training uniforms, there is no soldier will train seriously, because serious training, he will have no clothes to wear, so he has to find a way to get a set of clothes for the soldiers to wear, so that what to strengthen training can be discussed, otherwise, everything is impossible.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave will do it." Wang Chengen was outside the carriage, and when he heard the emperor's order, he immediately found someone to pass the word.

The carriage was still tinkling, tinkling forward.

…… The ninth day of the fifth month.

It is the son of the early dynasty again.

Yang Gengai got up early in the morning. Come to the court early.

In the Taihemen Palace, the ministers have been waiting for a long time.

The emperor arrived, and business as usual began.

First, the ministers sang songs, and then the formal deliberations.

Yang reformed a lot of things in his heart today. glanced at the ministers below with his eyes, as if he wanted to find out who was the "pig friend" in his team from this group of people, and find out the guy who was secretly firing arrows and secretly harming people. However, after sweeping around, the ministers all looked at themselves, looking like a gentleman and a frank man, Yang Reform really couldn't see who was this harmful spirit! I want to go crazy when I want to enter the cabinet, I want to go crazy if I want to be promoted, and I want to do whatever it takes.

looked at Sun Chengzong again, Sun Chengzong was still silent, and in the court, Sun Chengzong basically didn't speak.

Turning his eyes on Xu Guangqi again, this Xu Guangqi's body, after a period of recuperation, has finally recovered well and can go to court. Today is the first time Xu Guangqi has gone to court after his serious illness.

set his eyes on Liu Jishan again, his own "Saint Seiya", still looks light-hearted, and seems to be in a position to do everything.

He also set his eyes on Bi Ziyan, the servant of the household department, this guy, but in the matter of the country's eunuch, he added fuel to the fire! Regarding Li Ruolian's usury in the Guozi Prison, he pretended not to see it.

"Today, let's discuss a big matter first!" Yang Gai straightened his throat and took the lead in speaking.

When the ministers saw the emperor speak, they all looked around, seeking each other's eyes and signals.

Yang Gai paused for a moment, and said again: "The calendar, related to my Ming orthodoxy, related to the agricultural production of the people in the world, related to the accurate surname of the season, now, the calendar that is being used, is also full of loopholes, often wrong, and the forecast time is also very inaccurate, endangering the national community, we must not ignore it, I plan to rebuild the calendar, I want to listen to the opinions of your family......"

Rebuild and revise the calendar, the formation of the calendar bureau, this, when Yang reform fooled Zhang Xianyong, it was agreed with Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong, the revision of the calendar is an important thing, and more importantly, the Academy of Sciences can be temporarily attached to the name of the calendar bureau, because this calendar will involve a large number of mathematical calculations, so at present, mathematics as an applied research of the Academy of Sciences under the calendar bureau, it is justified, and after the results, the brand of the Academy of Sciences can be officially hung up.

This emperor wants to do things by himself, but what he must avoid is that he can't directly say how he wants to be, so he has to find an excuse to tell the matter. Then let the tos speak for themselves, so that it seems that above the court, all the courtiers have been involved, the emperor is very clear, and the reason why the court does this is because the reason for doing it is sufficient, the emperor listens to the correct opinion, and the name is right, and the people below do it, so there is no reason to resist. This is the conclusion and experience that Yang Gengai has drawn and summed up after being the emperor for so long.

However, today's matter of the formation of the calendar bureau, Yang Reform himself proposed, this matter, related to the legal surname of the Ming Dynasty, related to his own Zhu family, the emperor personally proposed, it is normal, that emperor will not care about his own family? It also seems that this problem is more serious, and the emperor attaches great importance to this matter.

As soon as the emperor's words came out, the people below began to discuss, and the entire hall became buzzing.

Yang is not in a hurry to reform. Now, his prestige is not enough, his waist is not hard enough, what do you want to do, you have to go through the procedure of "boiling", and you can't be arbitrary.

Seeing that the courtiers were discussing, Yang Gaicai said: "Okay, ladies and gentlemen, this has been discussing for a long time, whoever has anything to say, just say it." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." A minister, the first to stand up.

Yang Reform took a look, this guy, standing at the front, was his cabinet chief assistant Shi Fenglai. This guy is seen as a roadblock that can be kicked away by "people with a heart"! It's seen as a guy who will be kicked out in his change of ministers!

"Oh! Hehe, Shi Aiqing, just say what you have to say. Yang Reform looked at his cabinet chief assistant very curiously, this guy, after the last Guozijian incident, Yang Reform checked this guy's information, this guy was also involved in the Wei case, and should have stepped down early, however, in this time and space, due to the emergence of Yang reform, there were variables in the Wei case, because he could pay money to atone for his crimes, and Yang Reform consciously slowed down the time for the Donglin Party to control the government, and consciously did not let the Donglin Party dominate, so there are still many people involved in the Wei case who are still above the court, such as this Shoufu, is the person who stands on the cusp of the storm.

This time the emperor set the Wei case, although there is atonement silver, coupled with the emperor's conscious "inaction", the cabinet chief assistant has been able to continue to work until now, but it has basically been hollowed out, judging from the current trend of the imperial court, a large number of ministers who have been suppressed by the Wei party are being restored, so this Shi Fenglai first assistant, in the eyes of some people, is also seen as a roadblock that can be easily kicked away. That's why there was the matter of the Guozijian and the matter of using his name.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this calendar, all dynasties and generations, are extremely important, as Your Majesty said, related to the orthodoxy of my Ming Dynasty, the accuracy of farming, related to the harvest of production, in the present natural disaster is coming, it is more important, but now this calendar, inaccurate, is also a well-known thing, so, the minister thinks, it is necessary to immediately revise the calendar, so that can not miss the agricultural time, do not miss the agricultural affairs, can make the harvest, more abundant, this against natural disasters, but also more effective, The minister fully agrees with His Majesty's wishes, and it is urgent to revise the calendar. As soon as Shi Fenglai opened his mouth, he was completely on the emperor's side.

Yang Reform looked at this Shoufu curiously, this guy is completely on his side now! Speak for yourself! Before, this guy didn't talk much!

After Shi Fenglai finished flattering the emperor, he retreated. Shi Fenglai also knows that he is deeply involved in the Wei case, and he is also self-aware, according to the current situation in the court, it is only a matter of time before he steps down, although he desperately wants to leave this position, but the emperor does not let him go, and he doesn't know how the emperor thinks, his relationship with Wei Zhongxian is not shallow, it stands to reason that as soon as the emperor takes office and cleans up the Wei party, he will soon let himself go, but I don't know why, the emperor has always let himself be the first assistant until now. This is something that Shi Fenglai couldn't figure out. originally thought that he wouldn't be able to do it for a few days, so he didn't speak much in the court, and he didn't take care of things, so that he couldn't offend anyone, in order to let himself have a decent retirement. But this time, Shi Fenglai's plan to change, because even if he didn't want to provoke anyone, but others regarded him as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, and the position he sat in was really remembered by too many people, and the emperor didn't let himself get out, but let himself be roasted as if he was sitting on the fire.

"Well, Shi Shoufu is right, what else does the Qing family have any opinions?" Yang asked again.

In the court, ministers, you look at me, I look at you.

A minister came out and played: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is a good thing to rebuild the calendar, but I don't know, who Your Majesty is going to put in charge?" If it is Qin Tianjian, the minister thinks that this may not be able to complete the important task of rebuilding the calendar. ”

In this court, there are basically no people who oppose the revision of the calendar, because the current calendar is not accurate, which is well known. Rebuilding the calendar has nothing to do with them having a dime, this, it can only be said that it is related to the emperor, the royal family, and the family affairs of the Zhu family, and the emperor himself thinks it is important, in fact, what does it have to do with the imperial court.

"Oh, hehe, how does this Qing family know that Qin Tianjian can't rebuild the calendar?" Yang asked with interest. This guy, looking at it, seems to be a trust! If you don't need Qin Tianjian, who will you use? Pulling around, isn't it only possible to use Xu Guangqi?

"Returning to Your Majesty, this Qin Tianjian calculates the time of the day, and the prediction of the time of the day is extremely inaccurate, how can he bear the heavy responsibility of rebuilding the calendar? If you let them cultivate, wouldn't it be the same as not repairing, and it will be inaccurate to repair and repair, so why bother? ”

"Oh? Hehe, this Qing family, then how do you know that this Qin Tianjian is not accurate in calculating the time? Yang Gai thought it was interesting, this guy must be a trust, so he cooperated with this trust to perform, ready to see what he said.

"Back to Your Majesty, this Qin Tianjian is said to have compared the accurate surname of the forecast time with Westerners in the thirty-eighth year of Wanli, but he lost, so the minister thinks that this Qin Tianjian is afraid that he will not be able to complete His Majesty's entrustment." The minister laid out the facts.

"Oh? And what's going on? When did Qin Tianjian compare the forecast time with the Westerners? "Yang Gai is interested in this, this thing seems to be a trick used by a certain traverser! Pretend to be a god! I don't know if it was the good deeds done by that traverser to bring down His Majesty Qin Tianjian of the imperial court and achieve the purpose of becoming famous.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is indeed the case, it was in the thirty-eighth year of Wanli, it is said that Qin Tianjian was indeed a mistake, and there was no accurate forecast by Westerners." The minister said.

This double reed is obviously not performed by one person, someone came out and continued to perform: "Your Majesty, in the thirty-eighth year of Wanli, it was not a Westerner who competed with Qin Tianjian to predict the time of the sky, but Xu Zixian, Lord Xu. The man added.

Hehe, or Xu Guangqi? Yang Gai thinks this is even more interesting, is this the double reed sung by Xu Guangqi? His own Master Xu is still very capable of being a magic stick! Let Yang Reform feel that Xu Guangqi's life is also colorful! Compared to many traversers, it is not bad to mix.

"Oh! Hehe, Master Xu, is this thing true? Yang Reform took advantage of this reason to turn the topic to Xu Guangqi, and now, it is time for Xu Guangqi to play.

Xu Guangqi said: "Back to Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing, but this is not a formal competition, it is just a separate calculation, and the conclusion reached by the minister is closer, and it is not a win." ”

"Oh? Hehe, interesting, Master Xu is really amazing! This calculation is really amazing! What's the secret? "Yang reformed and touted Xu Guangqi. Ask Xu Guangqi what is the secret, in fact, do you still need to ask? It is much more convenient to use Western Arabic numerals to calculate, and traditional Chinese calculation methods focus more on practicality than on theory, so once it comes to this kind of super operation, involving a huge amount of data, it often can't do Western algorithms. Yang Reform said this, but it was just a support.

"Back to Your Majesty, there is no secret, just using Western algorithms to calculate, and the minister is lucky to predict more accurately." Xu Guangqi is very modest.

"Oh? Is that so? In other words, Western algorithms are more accurate than our traditional algorithms? ”

"Your Majesty, it is true." Xu Guangqi replied again.

"Then since that's the case, let's use Western algorithms to calculate the calendar, ladies and gentlemen, do you have any opinions?" Yang asked again.

The ministers in the court are all about to vomit, such an obvious two sides singing double reeds, really treat us all as idiots! Who doesn't know the relationship between the emperor and Xu Guangqi, do they need to praise each other like this and ask? You directly let Xu Guangqi be responsible for revising the calendar, no one will compete with you, emperor, this Xu Guangqi went to revise the calendar, better, there is one less competitive opponent in this court.

Some people couldn't stand it, and someone stood up at the moment and said: "Your Majesty, the minister fully agrees with what His Majesty said, since this calendar is related to social affairs, agricultural affairs, the harvest of the world, and the problem of eating for people in the world, it should be used to calculate more accurate Western algorithms, and the minister thinks that Lord Xu Zixian is proficient in Western algorithms and can preside over this matter...... "A minister really can't stand the emperor and Xu Guangqi playing double reeds, so he simply came out to approve of this matter, just ask this matter to pass quickly." Stop disgusting everyone.

The other courtiers were also disgusted, this double reed, singing too obviously, this historical situation, no one fought with the emperor, and it was not a powerful department, so it was better to go to a Xu Zixian. So, they all agreed with the emperor's words.

“…… Ministers approve ......"

“…… Chen Zanchen, Lord Xu is proficient in counting, highly respected, and fully competent......"

…… Yang Gai sighed, he thought it was a little difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so easy, and the ministers were eager to let Xu Guangqi immediately do the matter of revising the calendar.

The courtiers are not stupid, seeing it, the emperor has an intention of who to revise the calendar, the reason why he discussed this matter in the court, is just a show, besides, this calendar bureau is not a key department, can only say that Qinggui, now the emperor is ready to change the cabinet, the court is clear, so they are all holding back their strength, running to the cabinet, there is still the mind and Xu Guangqi to fight for what the calendar is.

"Then Master Xu, what do you have to say?" This matter was easily passed. However, this double reed still has to be sung, and the calendar bureau is the calendar bureau, and the affairs of the science and technology institute have not yet been settled, if you don't get the affairs of the science and technology institute out, this calendar will be in vain.

"Returning to Your Majesty, although the minister is proficient in Western algorithms, but a person is really weak and cannot complete the important task of resetting the calendar, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to establish a calendar bureau and specialize in revising the calendar. I'm afraid that we have to set up a research institute under the historical bureau, specializing in cultivating talents in Western algorithms, specializing in the study of tools and instruments for calculating the calendar, so that the calculation of the astronomical calendar can be foolproof and more accurate! Xu Guangqi spared this science and technology institute, and now he can engage in scientific research in a grand manner.

At a critical juncture, Yang Reform's heart was also very nervous, for fear that the courtiers would interfere with it and break his wishes. Seeing that the courtiers were silent, it seemed that they acquiesced in this matter. Yang Gengai knew that the courtiers were about to vomit when they saw the monarch and the ministers acting like this, and they just wanted to finish this matter as soon as possible so that they could enter the next link.

"Then in this case, then it is all up to Master Xu, Master Xu is responsible for setting up the calendar bureau, presiding over the revision of the calendar, must be accurate, can accurately predict the time of the day, do not miss agricultural affairs, as for the use of Western algorithms, the establishment of a research institute, this, it is indeed necessary, I can't let Master Xu revise the calendar alone! There must be a group of helpers, so it's decided, under the bureau, set up a research institute to specialize in the study of Western algorithms, research what tools, objects, instruments or something, and cultivate talents,......" Yang Reform settled this matter in one breath.

The Institute of Science and Technology is considered to have been.
