Baidu otaku as Chongzhen

Chapter 678
The second year of Chongzhen passed away amidst bursts of firecrackers.

This year may be a rare and prosperous year. It is said that there are more and louder firecrackers set off this year than in previous years.

Yang Reform felt that there might be quite a lot of fireworks, and he couldn't see the kind of fireworks that exploded in the middle of the day. It just feels so-so.

On the first day of the third year of Chongzhen, Yang Reform accepted the congratulations from all the officials in Huangji Hall [Jinluan Hall], which was the beginning of the new year.

However, it seems that the weather is not very cooperative. It seems that the firecrackers during the Chinese New Year did not dispel the gloomy weather. This day is always groggy, and it seems that it will be dark all the time.Use one to express this weather, that is obscurity.

This year's omen is not very good, this is the understanding of many people.

Yang Reform also had to say that he was unlucky. This kind of probability of winning the lottery was actually met by himself. It is really impossible to encounter such an outrageously dark weather on such an important day.

At the beginning of the new year, encountering such unfavorable weather, one can imagine the hearts of the monarchs and ministers. No one has a good face, and Yang Reform is no exception.

Although Yang Reform didn't believe in the connection between heaven and man, he didn't believe in superstition, but others believed that the unfathomable power of the sky was not as simple as talking about it in the Ming Dynasty. Using weather anomalies as weapons to attack opponents was an aboveboard method.

"Big Companion, call the cabinet minister Jiuqing and other Wenhua Palace to discuss matters." Yang Reform had a very gloomy face, and said with an expression of displeasure. It will be so dark.

"...Your Majesty..., servant obeys the order!" Wang Chengen wanted to persuade the emperor, but he stopped when he saw the emperor's complexion.

"Wait, I still call Tian Hongyu to see me, and the officials will disappear." Yang Reform thought for a while, but changed his mind. For this matter, meeting the officials may not be as useful as seeing Tian Hongyu.

Yang Reform was very upset.

"Abiding by the order, I will do it now." Wang Chengen agreed in surprise.

After entering the house, he could no longer see the "face" of God, and Yang Reform's mood became better again.However, seeing the candles lit on the table, Yang Reform felt very depressed. God really can't see him having a good time, and the shameless person gave himself such a face on such an important day. It dealt a heavy blow to the confidence of the people of the world in him, and Yang Reform's hard-earned prestige and confidence were really smashed by this blow.

Not long after, Tian Hongyu had arrived.

"Your Majesty, the head of the state, Tian Hong, has met, but wants to see you." Wang Chengen reported.

"See you!" Yang Reform said immediately.

To be honest, Tian Hongyu was very nervous today. On such an important day and in such weather, the emperor's mood can be imagined, but the emperor wanted to see him first. He didn't know that he was being favored. Still unlucky.

"I see Your Majesty!" the head of state Tian Hongyu said cautiously.

"Excuse me..." Yang Reform had regained his composure.Having been an emperor for so long, he is no longer a novice. He knows that everything should follow the trend and not "go against the sky". Can comply with the "meaning" of God, and only in this way, things can proceed smoothly.Yang Reform originally wanted to get the ministers to vent their anger and scold him severely, but thinking about it, it would be better to bring Tian Hongyu here. Maybe this matter can be done without arguing with the ministers. The weather may not be a bad thing, even if it is a bad thing, it must be turned into a good thing.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The head of state Tian Hongyu raised his head to look at the emperor this time.Seeing the emperor's calm face, his heart calmed down a little.

"Now the whole city wears cotton clothes made by Qing's family. The Qing family has worked hard..." Yang Reform said with a smile.

"I don't dare to be a minister..." Tian Hongyu, the head of the state, was a little confused and a little scared.

"I received the report that although some people were frozen to death this year, compared to previous years, it is already much better. What's more, there are hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the capital. It is even more commendable to be able to do this. The Qing family has indeed done a good job in dressing warmly." Yang Reform praised Tian Hongyu with a smile, Yang Reform already knew clearly enough about the situation of freezing to death. In the capital city and its vicinity, Yang Reform still checked very clearly.

"I'm terrified. I didn't complete what your Majesty told me. It's really a debt of grace. I deserve to die..." Tian Hongyu, the head of the state, was frightened, thinking that the emperor was blaming him, and immediately admitted his mistake to the emperor.

"Hehehe, here, I am speaking the truth. The Qing family has indeed done a good job in this matter. Although they did not make all the contributions, the credit is the credit. The flaws do not conceal the merits. The Qing family still deserves my praise..." Yang Reformed .To be honest, although Yang Reform has some grievances about not having a perfect solution to this matter, but thinking about it carefully, it is really difficult to achieve perfection in this matter. It is very rare to be able to achieve the current situation. Yang Reform is blocked My heart was also let go.

"...Here, thank you for your praise!..." Tian Hongyu, the head of the state, expressed his gratitude anxiously.

"However, this matter is only the beginning. The Qing family has more important things to do." Yang Reform said again.

"Your Majesty, please give me instructions..." Tian Hongyu said with some panic. When he heard the emperor say that someone was freezing to death, Tian Hongyu's heart rose to his throat. Hearing that the emperor didn't bother him about this matter, he And just a little bit at ease.

"The Qing family can immediately recruit people who are farming and working in Liaodong on a large scale..." Yang Reform said.Originally, Yang Reform planned to wait a while to talk about this matter. However, seeing the omen of bad luck on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yang Reform felt that he had to do something. Otherwise, this bad thing would last for a few days. Fearing that it would be even more detrimental to him, he must immediately start the recruitment wave in Liaodong, and create an unstoppable momentum in terms of momentum, forcing others to follow suit, leaving no time to think about it.

"Your Majesty, isn't it too early?" The head of state Tian Hongyu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard about this. In fact, he knew about this a long time ago, and the emperor also told him a long time ago. The development of Liaodong definitely requires workers, and recruitment is also necessary. However, it is not on the first or second day of the first lunar month to recruit workers. At least we have to wait until the Lantern Festival is over. The sea has not yet thawed. Now I heard It was time to recruit workers in advance, Tian Hongyu was a little confused.

"It's late, if you don't recruit now, when will you recruit?" Yang Reform asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, why don't you wait until the [-]th day of the Lantern Festival to recruit, it's too early, the sea has not yet thawed, so you can't get through, recruiting is for nothing..." Tian Hongyu explained.

"No, the Qing family will start preparations as soon as they go back today. I will see the scene of large-scale recruitment of workers in the city tomorrow. The Qing family recruits as much as possible. There are no restrictions. As long as you have the strength and are willing to endure hardships, don't refuse... ..." Yang Reform said.

"Your Majesty, this..." Tian Hongyu was a little puzzled.

"Don't you understand the Qing family? Most of the 10 people gathered around the capital only worked until the end of last year. If there is no new work to do, what do these people eat and wear? Aren't they going to become refugees? Have you ever thought about the consequences of hundreds of thousands of refugees gathering in the capital?" Yang Reform said.In fact, the situation may not be as bad as Yang Reform said, but now God is throwing face, and Yang Reform can't do anything about it. Everyone had to follow up. This bad omen, if time dragged on, something might happen.

"Report to Your Majesty, I understand, I understand!" Tian Hongyu said immediately.Hearing what the emperor said, he figured it out. He said it was for business, but in fact it was the emperor's hand. The emperor used him to do things that the court could not do, such as this kind of sweet potato. He put in a lot of effort to do this, but the result was unsatisfactory. Most of them were perfunctory, far from achieving the effect the emperor wanted. It is better for him to do business to promote sweet potatoes, which is much better than the court. Now the Ming Dynasty Don't grow sweet potatoes in the corner?After all, it's all his function.

"Well, it's good if you understand. After you go back, start to act immediately. I have only one requirement for this matter, and that is to overwhelm the sky... Do you understand?" Yang Reform said.

"Report to Your Majesty, I understand. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely do it." Tian Hongyu immediately said with confidence, this matter really can't trouble him, he has already prepared for this matter, and now it's just time to recruit workers. What's so hard about it earlier?It's just to give more rewards to the shopkeepers, are you afraid that they won't do things?

"Well, it's good if you understand. The Qing family will do it now. Be quick. In addition, I have given the Qing family a rule for the padded clothes, and the Qing family will follow suit..." Yang Reform thought for a while, and then said.

"If you dare to ask His Majesty what the criterion is, I will definitely follow it." Tian Hongyu immediately agreed.

"When it comes to cotton clothes, there is only one criterion. We only want to sell more, not how much money we make..." Yang Reform said.

"This..." Tian Hongyu was confused again. The emperor didn't think about the common people to this extent, right?The emperor said that he was too kind to the common people, but in reality, he was doing a loss-making business!Didn't the emperor never do business at a loss?

"Just do as the Qing family does, don't ask anything else, you will understand what I mean in the future..." Yang Reformed.

"The minister leads the decree!" Tian Hongyu didn't quite understand and immediately agreed. Anyway, whether it's his business or the money, everything belongs to the emperor. How the emperor wants to play is the emperor's business, and he can't control it.

He summoned Tian Hongyu in a hurry, and after a hasty confession, Tian Hongyu left in a hurry. In the warm pavilion, candles were still lit, and it seemed that it was already evening, but in fact, it was noon.

"Big Companion, today is the first day of the first lunar month. It is inconvenient for me to go out of the palace. I would like to trouble you to go to the Liuli Zhai in person, so that Liniang can start recruiting workers in Liaodong immediately. Large-scale recruitment is required, and the momentum must be large. To overwhelming, understand?" Yang Reform carefully explained to Wang Chengen.

"Your Majesty, it is only right and proper for a servant to serve His Majesty. I dare not be bothered. I will go now. I understand what your majesty means." Wang Chengen immediately said seriously. He is the emperor's confidant and the chief of the inner court. Emperor, what does the emperor mean by this, he naturally understands, in this unlucky day, it is really unlucky to light candles at noon, the emperor must act in advance, otherwise, things will change later, and I don’t know what disaster will happen .

Seeing that Wang Chengen went out to run errands, Yang Reform was relieved. This time, God really made a joke on himself. The first day of the first lunar month is a big day for him to go to the Emperor's Palace to accept the congratulations of the officials. It has a strong symbol Sexually, it is really embarrassing for me to give myself such a face, and fortunately I have a lot of resources in my hands, and I can use all kinds of resources urgently to make up for the accident. It must be yellow.

"Crack...boom..."

After arranging all this, Yang Reform felt relieved.On this day, it was as if there was a real telepathy between heaven and man, without any warning, a few thunderbolts struck fiercely, which shocked Yang Reform, who had never believed in strange powers and gods.

Seeing the dark world being instantly lit up by the thunder, Yang Reform kept hinting to himself that all he did was definitely like the thunder splitting the dark world.

……

Looking at the dark sky, Yang Reform couldn't help but look towards Kunning Palace. In the past, when the weather was like this, Yang Reform would go to Kunning Palace to see his son. Today, it was only noon, but it was because of the weather that the weather had changed. As in the evening, Yang Reform went to Kunning Palace somewhat involuntarily.

The Kunning Palace also lit candles, as if the evening had really come.When they heard the news of the emperor's arrival, they all came out to greet him.

"It's all free." Yang Reform said as usual, but it was always in the evening in the past, but now, this scene happened at noon.

"Your Majesty!" Empress Zhou Wan'er also came to greet her.

"Wan'er..." Yang Reformed.

"Your Majesty..." Empress Zhou Wan'er obviously also knew that today was such an important day and there was such bad weather. The emperor was afraid that he would have a bad temper and get angry. Seeing that the emperor seemed to be looking good, he let go of his heart a little.

"Where's Cihong?" Yang Reform asked.

"...Here it is." Empress Zhou Wan'er took Zhu Cihong from the nanny, and handed it to Yang Reform.

Yang Reform took Zhu Cihong from Zhou Wan'er's hand, and hugged him in his arms full of fatherly love, watching the child jump around in his arms, with big black eyes, Yang Reform felt that it was extra warm.

"Wan'er, Cihong is almost one year old." Yang Reform asked.

"Yes! Your Majesty, it's almost one year old, Your Majesty..." Empress Zhou Wan'er was a little surprised. Why did the emperor ask this?
"Yes! It's almost one year old, and it's time for me, Daming, to have a crown prince..." Yang Reform looked into the big black eyes in his arms, and said.

"...Your Majesty..." Empress Zhou Wan'er was stunned when she heard that, and establish a crown prince?The eyes are a little moist.
