Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 59 New Year's Eve
Qin Botong, who got up at three o'clock every day for various queue training and physical training, came back immediately after taking a quick shower and started brushing his teeth and washing his face. He didn't climb into bed until he was sure that he was indeed placed in the same position as his comrades.

Having been under intensive care for more than ten days in a row, he couldn't help but secretly swear that even if he was beaten to death in the future, he would never say in front of others that he wanted to be promoted and get rich.

Qin Botong felt that he had to be like that boy Chang Yanling, always saying that he wanted to serve Daming and be loyal to His Majesty, so that Lu Shilang would let him go.

"Sometimes people have to learn to talk big and empty words." Many years later, Generalissimo Tan Botong, who swept across Europe, also said this when recalling his comrade-in-arms Chang Yanling.

"Emergency assembly!"

Suddenly, there was a whistle outside, and Tan Botong, who was confessing that he wanted to get promoted and get rich, immediately turned over and began to get dressed, afraid that he would be a second late.

Now he is used to this kind of emergency assembly from time to time, and he is also used to being led out of the Forbidden City by Lu Shilang and running along Jingshan for no reason.

This time, Qin Botong was very quick. After he appeared in front of Lu Shilang and stood up, Ao Bai and Chang Yanling rushed over. Seeing this, he couldn't help making fun of Ao Bai:

"Hey, I said, Chang Xiaohou is here for Daming, what are you doing for it, is it because Huang Taiji robbed your concubine and gave you a cuckold, so you seek refuge with me, Da Ming, and want to seek revenge from Huang Taiji in the future. "

"Tan, believe it or not, I'm going to blow your teeth right now!"

Aobai was about to show his fists, when Lu Xiangsheng's whip directly hit him: "Did I tell you to talk? How many times have you memorized the drills and disciplines? Do you still remember? Lay down and do push-ups for me. Do it until I am satisfied!"

Qin Botong spit at Aobai and got up on the ground.

Since Oboi was captured by Lu Xiangsheng, he only listens to two people in the Ming Dynasty, one is Zhu Youxiao and the other is Lu Xiangsheng.

Therefore, even after being whipped by Lu Xiangsheng, he didn't dare to resist, he just gave Qin Botong a look, and obediently started to do push-ups.

……

It was New Year's Eve, and Zhu Youxiao's ingenious New Year's message a few days ago had been plastered all over the gates of the capital. At the same time, His Majesty's New Year message from His Majesty the Ming Emperor was published on the front page.

It seems that because of this, the eight-year New Year of Apocalypse seems to have a different taste from previous years.

The people of Ming Dynasty, especially the scholars at the bottom, discovered that they could communicate with the emperor so closely, and they could also receive the emperor's blessing.

The royalists even publicized Zhu Youxiao's closeness to the people, and his reputation as a carpenter emperor and house-chaser emperor began to slowly change in the market.

In addition, because of the new year and the new weather, even the gods thanked God for stopping the heavy snow that had been falling for several days in a row.

Even, according to Sun Chengzong's report, several prefectures and counties in the long-drought Qin and Jin Dynasties finally ushered in a rain, which is expected to save part of the winter wheat harvest this year.

Moreover, due to the construction and dredging of water conservancy, land reclamation and the promotion of crops such as sweet potatoes, as well as the clarification of officials, tens of thousands of refugees have returned to their hometowns and rebuilt their homes.

At the same time, Huo Weihua, the minister of the Ministry of Industry who visited various places and supervised the projects in various places, reported that the dredging projects of the Yellow River, Yangtze River, Huaihe River and other rivers are progressing smoothly, and [-] displaced people have participated in the process and have been properly resettled. It is expected that his six ministers Will be able to spend a great reunion year in the Yellow River with hundreds of thousands of people.

After Zhu Youxiao learned about it, he couldn't help ordering the cabinet to reply to Aiqing in zhezi that he could have fun with the people, and he had the style of a layman on June [-]st, and rewarded him with a bullfighting uniform.

Gossip less, although it is New Year's Eve, as the emperor, Zhu Youxiao has to go to the Taimiao early in the morning to offer sacrifices.

Looking at the rows of tablets and hanging statues surrounded by incense smoke in the Taimiao, from the Ming Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang to his father Zhu Changluo who succeeded to the throne for only one month.

Zhu Youxiao seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of the Ming Dynasty for 200 years in an instant, until now, the empire was at the helm of the empire.

This is especially true in the Ming Dynasty, where the state religion emphasized rites in order to restore Chinese etiquette. The common people even opened ancestral halls, held big banquets, and slaughtered pigs and sheep as gifts for their ancestors.

And Zhu Youxiao, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the symbol of the etiquette order of the empire, the etiquette is naturally more complicated, and he has to complete countless ceremonies after only one Taimiao sacrifice.

When the sacrifice was over, it was already evening, and Zhu Youxiao had to put aside government affairs and give himself a night off.

Queen Zhang Yan will also offer his wife's tenderness at this time.

Under Zhu Youxiao's teaching, she has become proficient in various massage techniques. Every time it takes less than a stick of incense, Zhu Youxiao's tired body can be refreshed by the queen's massage, and her whole body is as comfortable as lying down. cotton.

Liu Rushi would also sensiblely bring a basin of hot water to soak Zhu Youxiao's feet at this time.

The drowsy Zhu Youxiao enjoyed the quiet state very much. If it weren't for the fact that it was the end of the Ming Dynasty and there were many crises, he would rather just be a conservative emperor and live peacefully here with his concubines and concubines. In the Forbidden City isolated from the world.

Maybe when he is in a good mood, he can take a low service to enjoy the scenery of various places, even if he is like Emperor Zhengde.

Whether it's civil officials, eunuchs, or military officials, let them fight, and I don't bother to take care of it.

But according to the historical arrangement, his Daming country will only have 17 years of Guozuo from now on, so it is destined that his emperor will have to be as diligent as Chongzhen.

"Sir, Lu Xiangsheng has seen His Majesty!"

In order to train military officers, Lu Xiangsheng was forced to stay in the palace by Zhu Youxiao, so he had no way to go home for the New Year.

Seeing this, Empress Zhang Yan simply issued an order to order people in the palace to take Lu Xiangsheng's family into the palace temporarily to relieve Lu Xiangsheng's reunion.

Zhu Youxiao also took the initiative to invite Lu Xiangsheng's family to spend New Year's Eve with him, the emperor.

This is an unprecedented honor, and Lu Xiangsheng is here to give a thank you note in person.

Zhu Youxiao didn't have much time to look at the elegant Xie En Zhezi, and after ordering someone to give him a seat, he asked Lu Xiangsheng: "How is the training of military cadets these days?"

Regarding the term "officer student", Lu Xiangsheng was quite surprised and curious when he heard Zhu Youxiao mention it at first, but now he is used to it. When the order is banned, the dandyism has also been reduced a lot, and various physical fitness has also been improved. Unexpectedly, His Majesty's set of military training methods is not only novel but also effective."

"You don't have to flatter me," Zhu Youxiao saw that Liu Ruyu was also waiting on the sidelines, and said: "Today is New Year's Eve, you go and call all the officers and students to my Qianqing Palace, that guy Huo Weihua and hundreds of thousands The surname is the same as New Year's Eve, and now I can't be too shabby, so I simply celebrate the New Year with these officers and students of mine, Empress, order the imperial dining room to cook more dumplings."

　Aobai is one-armed, I haven't forgotten that, when he bickered with Qin Botong, the dialogue was still "I can turn your little boy over with one hand".In addition, there are fewer military officers in the early stage, because as long as Lu Xiangsheng is one person, 300 people are difficult to manage, and it will be expanded slowly in the future. It is a good suggestion to let the protagonist strengthen the interaction with the officer students.
