The first thousand five hundred and ninety-seventh chapter is very early calendar
Before we knew it, it was already the ninth year of Yuande.
More than ten years have passed by in a blink of an eye, and Liu Che is also a little sad.
At this time, the whole world was still dark, with only the light of the burning brazier in the courtyard of Weiyang Palace and the ever-burning whale oil lamp in the palace visible.
"Your Majesty, please board the carriage and come to court..." Yan Yi walked up to Liu Che, knelt down and worshiped.
Liu Chetou boarded the prepared chariot, and then hundreds of guards surrounded him and headed for Xuanshi Hall.
Today is the first day of the tenth lunar month.
The most important state meeting held every year in the Han Empire, the Great Chao Yi is ready.
Since the second year of Yuande, the system of Dachaoyi has been gradually improved and improved.
Nowadays, the Great Court Meeting not only shoulders the task of the emperor meeting with the officials of the prefectures and states, reviewing the political achievements of the prefectures and states, and judging the performance of the officials.
It was an important state meeting of the Han Empire on par with the Shiquge meeting.
According to the system stipulated by Liu Che, the Dachao Yifang is the place where national legislation and law revision are made.
At the great court meeting, the emperor and the people of the world discussed the decisions made and the laws established by the ministers in the past year.
If anyone objects to these decisions and laws, they can be brought up at the imperial meeting, and the people of the world can discuss their abolition and establishment.
Not only that, there is also the process of reviewing the country's basic fiscal budget for the next year at the meeting.
Precisely because these functions and powers were continuously added, the Han Dynasty's imperial meetings became longer and longer.
In the second year of Yuan De, the court meetings were only held from early morning to afternoon, and at most until night.
But in the fourth year of Yuande, this major meeting became a three-day meeting.
In the sixth year of Yuande, it even opened for six days.
Last year, the Dachaoyi held group deliberations and discussions for the first time.
If any time traveler comes to this time, I am afraid they will be shocked to find that the Han Dynasty's imperial discussions have become more and more like those of later generations.
Today, the Han Dynasty Great Court Meeting and the Shiqu Pavilion Meeting together constitute the two carriages of the imperial state consultation system.
The Grand Council is a meeting that decides on law amendments and legislation, reviews important national policies, decides on war and peace, and regulates national policies and laws.
It is a self-repair and compromise mechanism within the system, and it is also a consultative meeting within the ruling class.
It is a place where the central government and local governments compete.
The Shiquge Meeting was a consultative meeting between the ruling class and academic, ideological and civil representatives.
Basically, it is a place for praise and flattery.
The representatives attending the Shiquge Conference were basically giants and elites from hundreds of schools of thought, high-ranking aristocrats from both military and political circles, as well as representatives of princes and kings from the royal family.
Since the first Shiquge meeting to this day, the issues discussed have always been academic issues of air versus air.
At most, after the emperor's initiative, all the scholars and princes and ministers touted the brilliant achievements of the Han Empire in the past year, and jointly wished the Emperor of Han to lead the people of the empire from one victory to another.
The giants of various schools of thought were also very smart and never discussed specific national affairs at the Shiqu Pavilion meeting.
As a result, Liu Che turned Shiqu Pavilion into an applause rally.
When Liu Che's chariot arrived at the side hall of Xuanshi Hall, and when he got off the chariot, there was already a sea of people inside and outside the Xuanshi Hall.
Hundreds of courtiers gathered together in the Xuanshi Hall. Under the leadership of the officials of the Nine Ministers, they stood respectfully on both sides of the hall according to their respective order.
The princes, honorable ministers and princes and kings were sitting on both sides of the hall.
Outside the hall, the chief planners of the county and the representatives of the county and the country with more than two thousand stones were sitting in silence.
Today is the first day of the imperial meeting. As usual, we will not discuss specific matters. We will only summarize, commend or punish officials within the empire over the past year, and announce some important matters at the same time.
Therefore, everyone in the county, including the planners and Liang Qianshi, was uneasy.
This is their most dangerous moment.
He could be called into the palace at any time and whipped by the emperor or his officials.
Of course, you may also receive commendations or even be promoted to a noble rank.
"Your Majesty is here, and all the officials are here to welcome you!" Yan Yi held the jade tablet, walked to the hall, and sang the promise three times in a deep voice.
Then the bells in the Xuanshi Hall rang together, and dozens of singing boys sang the poem "The Emperor" in the Chu tone. Among the hymns to God and the gods, Liu Che, surrounded by dozens of attendants, rose up the stairs.
Go up, sit upright in the throne, the emperor's twelve robes hang down, and the crown and robes are full of solemnity.
"I respectfully wish my emperor a long life!" Prime Minister Chao Cuo led hundreds of officials to pay homage and sang the promise in unison.
In an instant, the sound of worship resounded throughout the entire Weiyang Palace.
"I pay my respects... Your Majesty's safety..." Liu Che waved his hand.
Then, the ministers took their seats, and dozens of whale oil lamps were lit one after another, illuminating the hall like daylight.
"Announce the edict..." Liu Che gave a faint order, and Yan Yi, who was on the imperial steps, immediately said respectfully: "No!"
Then, he held an edict that had been drafted a long time ago, stood in the middle of the steps, and solemnly chanted: "I heard that all things are different, and how they are used for different people is the reason for governing chaos, survival, and life and death.
!Although the country is strong and the people are rich, it may not be safe. Nobility and height may not be obvious: it depends on its use! Therefore, Jie and Zhou used their own materials to succeed, and Tang and Wu used their own materials to become their kings. The rule of the country by the saints, see
We will judge its shortcomings based on its talents, use its strengths and eliminate its shortcomings, so that it will enjoy the country for thousands of years and bring blessings to future generations. Since I was ordered by the late emperor to protect the ancestral temple, I work hard and sleep hard at night, and dare not forget the precepts of the late emperor.
Today, Jiazi, I am in Bingshen, and all the ministers are here. I and the people of the world will look at the virtuous and the dishonest!"
After the edict was issued, the court meeting began.
Taishi ordered Sima Tan to be the first to go out and report: "I, Taishi, ordered Sima Tan to report to your majesty: I have been ordered by your majesty to change the etiquette and redefine the order of yin and yang in order to coordinate the affairs of farming and rice. I have been six years old now, and I rely on your majesty's spirit.
, the blessings of the country, I am fortunate to have lived up to my command and compiled the "Calendar of Taichu". Now that everything is done, I present it to Your Majesty..."
With that said, several doctors carried a box to the hall and opened it. What was inside was the entire compiled "Taichu Calendar".
Since Liu Che ordered Taishi Ling Sima Tan to take the lead in the sixth year of Yuan De, and together with more than a hundred people including Sima Jizhu, tycoons, astrologers, and mathematicians to compile the Taichu Calendar, under the leadership of Sima Tan, the elites of the Han family
They used abacus, corona and other tools, observed the movements of the sun, moon and stars with naked eyes and made mathematical calculations, and finally determined the new calendar.
Naturally, Liu Che had already seen this set of calendars, and submitted them to the Shaofu, Da Nong, and Prime Minister's Office for joint review. After they were confirmed to be correct, they could be announced to the world as a new calendar.
The birth of this "Taichu Calendar" announced the end of Zhuanxu's calendar that had been used for hundreds of years.
The tenth month of winter this year will also be the last New Year in the Zhuanxu calendar. From next year, the Han family will start the year with the first lunar month of spring.
At the same time, this calendar clearly proposed the division of the twenty-four solar terms for the first time, which can effectively guide the agricultural production and life of the Han Dynasty.
Of course, as a BC calendar, you can't expect it to be very precise.
After all, Chinese mathematicians have just now refined pi to 314.
Therefore, maybe in a few decades, when mathematics advances, this calendar may be abandoned like the Zhuanxu calendar.
But now, this calendar is indeed the best and most accurate calendar in the Han Dynasty and even in the world!
Liu Che stood up and said: "Good! Thank you for your hard work, Taishi Ling! I thank you for the world!"
Immediately, he said to the ministers: "I have observed the calendar of Taichu. Compared with Zhuanxu's calendar, it is very accurate. It should be announced to the world, widely taught to scholars and people, and made known to all the world!"
"No!" All the ministers bowed their heads and said, "I respectfully obey the imperial edict!"
But privately, some civil servants had some thoughts that they shouldn't have.
"Since ancient times, the calendar has been changed to Yi Shuo, and the legal system has been changed..."
"Now, the calendar is still there, maybe you can submit a letter to ask for correction..."
As long as something like reform is accomplished, it is a great achievement! It is enough for a person or even a force to rise!
What's more important is that this kind of thing doesn't require any effort at all, and it doesn't require much effort. All you need is your mouth.
Compared with repairing channels and guiding people to improve production methods, it is countless times easier to supervise and supervise from door to door.
What's even better is that once it is done, it will not only make it soaring, go down in history, and be admired by all generations, but it can also use it to attack dissidents and eliminate competitors.
It's simply too good!
The only question is today, will you like it? Will you agree?
Last time, everyone clamored to be granted Zen status, but they were almost beaten to death by the emperor. I don’t know how many of Qilu’s colleagues died.
Therefore, these people are hesitant in their hearts and do not dare to act rashly yet. They can only wait and see to see the reaction or see if there is anyone who can take the lead.
