I'm a big dick

Chapter 255 Ready for the New Year!
It is not a luxury for Zhu Youxiao to spend a rest year.

Even though Hou Jin launched it, judging from the news that just came, it is not clear its real purpose and the real target of attack.

But the preparatory work has been done enough, the money, food and ammunition supplies are well prepared, and the vigilance of each military town is also very high, and there are arrangements for the battle.

If this is not enough, Zhu Youxiao has nothing to do.Besides, even if he was impatient in the palace, he couldn't command randomly.

Ningyuan is so strong, with Xiong Tingbi personally sitting in the town, and Hongyi cannons, Jiannu can't be attacked even if there are one hundred and eighty thousand soldiers;

Juehua's defense facilities are also very complete, commanded by He Kegang and others, as well as the navy to assist in the battle, the sea is not necessarily frozen, it is not an ordinary difficulty for Jiannu to break through;

Lu Dazhangpan, Kong Youde's Two Associations, and Dengzhen's reinforcements, relying on the perfect in-depth defense line, as well as the artillery and eagle guns of Bafu, should hold on to it with great confidence and will not fall;

Dongjiang Mao Wenlong's headquarters has the most people, and the weapons and equipment are not bad.Coupled with the agility of the guerrilla leader Mao Da, even if he couldn't hold it on land, it would be no problem to retreat to the island, right?
Damn Jiannu, fight again after the Chinese New Year, only a few days away?

Zhu Youxiao scolded in his heart, came to the sand table, and analyzed it carefully again, somewhat relieved.It's useless to worry about it, just wait for the news later!

Although the launch of Jiannu made Zhu Youxiao a little unhappy, it was not unexpected.Being so eager to attack has strengthened Zhu Youxiao's determination to continue the blockade and siege.

Although in his memory, the first major famine in Houjin in history seems to be a few years later, it seems that Yuan Chonghuantong City sold grain to pro-gold Mongolian tribes, which indirectly alleviated the famine in Houjin.

But now it is very different from the history. The state of embarrassment of Houjin has become apparent, and it is very possible that the economic crisis will happen in advance.

If you can't grab it this time, it will be even worse next year!

Zhu Youxiao sneered, full of malice in his heart, and increased his confidence in the small goal of "Ping Liao in five years".

"My lord." Wang Tiqian came in to report, "The fireworks outside the Meridian Gate have been arranged, and the greenhouse has also been set up. Do you want to notify the nobles in the harem now?"

Although there is a rule of setting off fireworks in Qianqing Palace during the New Year, Zhu Youxiao felt that the people in Guanggong thought it was a waste, so he changed it.

One is not to start from the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, but from the 28th until the first day of the new year; the other is to change it to an open space outside the Meridian Gate, and allow the people of the capital to come and watch.

In addition to setting off fireworks, there are also Aoshan lanterns and fireworks in the palace, which are also displayed outside the Meridian Gate, highlighting the atmosphere of celebrating with the people.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said, "Be more careful with Concubine Yu and send more palace people to take care of her. If she doesn't want to go see, don't force her."

"Yes, I will send someone to pass on the emperor's oral order." Wang Tiqian knew that it was because Concubine Yu was pregnant, and the emperor valued it very much, so he respectfully agreed.

It's a pity that fireworks are not allowed in the harem, for fear of causing a fire.Zhu Youxiao was a little bit regretful, but he still knew which was more important and did not change this rule.

"Let's set off some fireworks in Qianqing Palace on New Year's Eve!" Zhu Youxiao ordered again: "The concubines of the Xuanhou Palace come and have a New Year's Eve dinner with me."

Although there is no such rule, it is nothing in the palace.This is because the emperor is taking care of the concubines, so there is no need to go to the Meridian Gate to watch.

Wang Tiqian bowed and agreed, but did not do it right away, and continued to wait for the emperor's order.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while, and asked: "Will you put lucky things in the dumplings, Wang Ban told me."

The New Year’s Eve in the palace of the Ming Dynasty usually starts on the first day of the new year and the fifth watch, with incense and fireworks, drinking pepper and cypress wine, and eating water and snacks, that is, dumplings.

There are also hidden silver coins in the dumplings, which means auspiciousness for the year.The emperor is naturally not that vulgar. Inside the dumplings are small bamboo cards with prizes written on them.

For example, "Jade Pendant" is written on the bamboo card. When you eat it, take it to receive the award, and the emperor will reward you with a jade pendant.

Hey, this is interesting.

Zhu Youxiao laughed and said, "Since that's the case, let's announce that the three royal sisters will also come. Give out more prizes. For Chinese New Year, let's have a festive and lively time."

Okay, whatever the emperor says is what he says!
Wang Tiqian accepted the order with a flattering smile, not forgetting to compliment the emperor and care about his family.

Zhu Youxiao has never been stingy about the provinces that should not be provinces.

Cracking down on the evil gentry students made another fortune. A year ago, the official pension system was officially launched, and year-end bonuses were also issued to hardworking and loyal courtiers.Among them, father-in-laws such as Wang Tiqian and Lao Wei are also among them.

In fact, the emperor's reward does not lie in the amount of money or the amount of money. It is more important than anything else to show you that the Holy One has you in his heart.

Both Lao Wei and Lao Wang saw the fate of Wang Shi and other corrupt father-in-laws.There are also those corrupt officials whose homes were ransacked, who really showed their love and dislike for Long Live.

How much can you spend if you are greedy for gold and silver? Once you are convicted, you will lose your head. What is the use of asking for money?

There are nursing homes on the outskirts of the city, and there are pensions for retirement. The money is enough to spend, and there are little eunuchs waiting on them.

As long as you do your errands honestly, you don't have to worry about old life problems at all.This is much better than spending money to raise a godson, and I don't know if it's a white-eyed wolf.

This is all thanks to the blessing of Long Live, you just have to do your best to repay it.

Well, I also want to pray for longevity and health, so that I can always protect myself.If you change the master, not to mention changing the rules, how can you still trust in favor so much?
Wang Tiqian was ordered to resign, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand to stop him, and said: "I want to go out of the palace, and the Wang companion will arrange it immediately."

"Your Highness—" Wang Tiqian hesitated for a moment, but still did not dissuade him, bowed and said, "I will arrange it now, servant girl."

It's been a long time since I had a "private visit on a micro-service". Every day in the palace, looking at those faces, Zhu Youxiao panicked a little.

………………

Lu Jianxing has become a member of hundreds of households, but he has gradually deviated from his original job as a royal guard, and is about to become the emperor's personal bodyguard.

Every day at about the end of the morning court, Lu Jianxing took a few brothers to Qianqing Gate and waited in the specially designated gatehouse.

Regardless of whether the emperor goes out or not, you have to be prepared and be there whenever you are told.

Therefore, Wang Tiqian made arrangements very quickly.Not long after, the emperor and Li Chengcheng in plain clothes left the Qianqing Palace, got into the car, and under the protection of several plainclothes guards, they quietly entered the streets of the capital.

Since the victory in Guangning, Liaodong has not sent the police for a long time, but several times the messengers who reported the victory galloped across the street shouting.

Although Liaodong is far away, victory or defeat does not affect life much.But the stability of people's hearts can still be reflected in many places.

And the New Year's Eve is approaching, whether it is the rich or ordinary people, new couplets are indispensable on the gates, and lanterns are indispensable.

The shops of the merchants are even more decorated with lights and festoons. The bosses and employees are all smiling, receiving the customers who come to visit.
