They were the first to raise an army to resist the Jin dynasty.
Ma Kuo also used the name of Prince Xin, Zhao Zhen.
It is said that Prince Xin has escaped from the Jin camp.
They gathered righteous troops at Wuma Mountain and raised the banner of resistance against the Jin dynasty.
Ma Kuo led 500 men across the Yellow River.
First, meet Zongze in Tokyo.
He then went to the imperial court to see Zhao Gou.
The civil and military officials around Zhao Gou,
There are fewer than a hundred people.
The Song Dynasty was at its most critical moment—what use was the alignment of the five planets?
A horse-drawn carriage headed towards Donghua Gate.
Li Hanzhang entered with his second wife.
Tonight, the Emperor is hosting a banquet at the Eastern Palace.
Only Li Hanzhang, Qian Chen, Chen Dong, Meng Zhao, and their wives were invited.
The four of them,
He was the most powerful official in the Ming Dynasty!
Zhao Yuan took command of the military.
Li Hanzhang was in charge of personnel matters.
Qian Chen was in charge of finances.
Chen Dong was in charge of supervision.
Meng Zhao was in charge of education and public opinion.
The cabinet officials,
They have no authority to enforce it.
Even the transmission of cabinet decisions from top to bottom,
They were all in the hands of Liang Yi, Zhao Yuan's personal disciple.
This made Liang Yi unhappy.
We have no choice but to put some pressure on the cabinet ministers.
The Seventh Grand Secretary made of paper.
Seemingly holding a high position of power,
Actually, I'm doing really badly.
Li Hanzhang and his wife arrived at the waiting room inside Donghua Gate.
Chen Dong and Qian Chen were already there with their wives, drinking tea and waiting.
The three families sat together, drinking tea and chatting.
Waiting and waiting,
But Meng Zhao still hadn't appeared.
Just as they were getting impatient,
Meng Zhao and his wife Yu Shanwei finally made an appearance.
Before anyone could speak,
Meng Zhao said happily:
"The alignment of five planets is an auspicious sign from heaven!"
"I was delayed by going upstairs to check the stars."
"Is there really a five-planet alignment?"
Li Hanzhang, Qian Chen, and Chen Dong were all delighted.
Although Zhao Yuan insisted on not using auspicious omens.
They have also consistently denied the theory of interaction between Heaven and humanity.
But Emperor Huizong of Song played this game for over twenty years.
Or should we reintroduce these ideas into people's minds?
Even Chen Dong,
They also firmly believed in auspicious omens.
Of course, this belief is selective.
He did not believe the auspicious omens attributed to the incompetent rulers of the former Song Dynasty.
But they believed that the new Ming Dynasty was blessed by God.
Chapter 374 Do you want to be an official?
Li Hanzhang exclaimed excitedly, "Quickly, go and report to His Highness!"
“Let’s go to the city and stargaze together!”
Chen Dong said, "I'm afraid it's too late."
Due to the position of the planets' orbits
Mercury and Venus are about to disappear from the sky.
The alignment of five planets, which can be observed with the naked eye, is very short-lived.
The four families boarded carriages inside the palace.
They walked towards the East Palace, chatting and laughing happily.
Empress Li Shishi, Consort Liu Huiniang, and others were all present.
Li Shishi, as the legal wife, is about to appear.
Liu Huiniang, however, had a good relationship with Yu Shanwei and others.
The dining table was set up in the yard.
Several lanterns were also hanging around.
Zhao Yuan waved and said with a smile, "Please take your seats!"
"I've been very busy ever since I returned to Beijing this year,"
"I'm only inviting you to a drink now."
Everyone sat down.
Meng Zhao first cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty and Your Highness."
"Just now when I entered the palace, I heard that someone saw the five planets in alignment."
"Your Majesty, I hastily ascended the Fanlou Tower to observe,"
"It is indeed a true alignment of five planets."
Zhao Yuan found this intriguing and said with great interest:
"Take me to see it quickly."
Meng Zhao said, "Looking at it now, I'm afraid we can only see the three stars aligned."
Mercury and Venus have already set in the sky.
"Then forget it."
Zhao Yuan asked with a smile,
"According to the old saying, this alignment of five planets is a good thing, right?"
After Meng Zhao became Minister of Rites,
He frantically studied etiquette and astronomy, and immediately replied:
"A good omen."
"Liu Bang became king, and Wu Zetian became emperor."
"It is all scheduled to happen when the five planets are aligned."
Zhao Yuan reminded him, "Drinking and chatting is fine."
"Such a matter of divine intervention between man and nature,"
"Do not speak of this in court from now on."
"Yes!"
Meng Zhao quickly agreed.
He even plans to submit a memorial tomorrow praising the saint's virtues.
Because there wasn't enough room at one table.
At this moment, men and women are eating at separate tables.
Yu Shanwei sat at the next table and said with a smile:
"If we calculate according to the official heliocentric theory,"
"The alignment of these five stars is a once-in-a-century event."
"However, if we widen the angle,"
"Anything within 60 degrees is considered a series of beads."
"So in fact, it happens once every twenty years."
"I just observed its angle,"
"This is a once-in-a-century occurrence of a series of pearls."
Chen Dong was greatly impressed and cupped his hands in respect, saying:
"I have long heard that Madam Yu is a woman of unparalleled talent."
"I've finally seen it all today,"
"He is even so knowledgeable about astronomy."
Yu Shanwei held an imperial decree.
She can certainly be addressed as "Madam".
Zheng Yuanyi smiled and said, "When Sister Yu was in Daming Village,"
"They are the right-hand men of the government."
"Now that we've arrived in the capital,"
"The emperor originally intended to bestow an official title upon her,"
"But Sister Yu is willing to be a good wife and mother."
Li Hanzhang pointed at Meng Zhao and joked:
"She's probably not a devoted wife and mother,"
Instead, she offered advice and suggestions to her husband.
Meng Zhao was not ashamed and proudly raised his glass, saying:
"With a virtuous wife by my side, I can certainly assist the wise ruler!"
Everyone laughed,
