Baidu otaku as Chongzhen

Chapter 126 It's time to come

Above the court, everyone has gained something and is very happy.

Yang Reform looked at these people coldly, but he was thinking about his own calculations. If he remembered correctly, something will happen in Shaanxi today. This event will become a symbolic event for the entire Chongzhen Dynasty. From then on, drought Constant, natural disasters, the consequence is that the peasants who can't eat rebel, and the result of the large-scale peasant rebellion is the strangulation of the peasant rebellion for more than ten years, until Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, and the Ming Dynasty was completely over. This incident is an omen of the tragedy of the entire Chongzhen Dynasty.Then Li Zicheng was defeated in Shihe, and a greater tragedy came.

Yang Reform, who went back and checked Baidu, is going to use today's special event to pretend to be a magic stick, to remind these ministers, to put pressure on them, and to do their best for the drought resistance, disaster relief, disaster relief, and appeasement of refugees that have lasted for more than ten years be ready.As for the effect, Yang Reform believes that as long as he exerts enough pressure, there are still some effects. He does not expect to completely suppress the outbreak of peasant rebellion, but also to minimize the scale of the outbreak of peasant rebellion, and fight for himself against the entry of wild boar skin. A little time, gain strength.Otherwise, if there are external troubles and internal troubles, and you are fighting at both ends, you will be dizzy, and you will lose sight of the other, which is very disadvantageous.

"Everyone, today, there is one more thing that I want to tell you. This thing, it is said, is very miraculous. I don't know if it will work. Last night, a man of God warned me in my dream, saying that today , There will be abnormal weather in the direction of Shaanxi, which is a sign of a severe drought, let me be prepared to fight the drought, so as to prevent the people of Li from being displaced."

The words of Emperor Chongzhen caused a thousand waves of waves with one stone, and the emperor was entrusted with a dream by a god?This incident, last time there was a dream entrusted by a god, which made everyone ashamed. This time, I don’t know what the emperor has a plan to punish everyone. All the officials listened carefully to the emperor’s words. However, it is not some insulting words, but an abnormal celestial phenomenon, involving natural disasters and droughts, and it is still predicted today.Shaanxi and the capital are separated by thousands of miles. If one can predict the celestial phenomena in Shaanxi, then this god-man is truly a god.Everyone thought that the emperor had an impossible dream.

At that moment, someone came out to explain the emperor, saying: "Your Majesty, you don't talk about strange powers and gods. You don't have to take it seriously. I think that Your Majesty worries too much about the people of the world and thinks about it every day. I have dreams at night."

Confucian scholar-bureaucrats do not support, do not oppose, do not believe in gods and strange powers, and respect them at a distance.

"Thank you for the enlightenment of the Qing family. However, my dream is very miraculous. The dream is extremely clear, just like yesterday's experience. It is vivid in my mind, and the words are very detailed. Every sentence is true, not that kind of dream. An indistinct dream."

Hearing what the emperor said, everyone was also happy and interested, wanting to see what kind of astronomical phenomena this man of god told the emperor in his dream.

"I would like to hear the details."

"The man of God told me that today, the sky in Shaanxi will be as red as blood. The celestial phenomenon foreshadowed is the drought in the north that lasted for more than ten years, thousands of miles of red land, constant famine, and people displaced. He said that I am the Son of Heaven. Find a way out for the common people in the world, and let me make preparations in advance." Chongzhen vowed to take the events that happened in the original history as gods and men, and told them, and now, presumably, what he said is happening in Shaanxi. This kind of celestial phenomenon.

"Hiss..." The officials gasped. The god-man in His Majesty's dream spoke so clearly, including the time, place, the celestial phenomenon that happened, and what happened afterward. It's clear, it doesn't seem like the emperor is talking in his sleep, he speaks with a nose and eyes, this dream is really very clear.

Sun Chengzong stood below, couldn't help it, and came out and said: "Your Majesty, dare I ask, did the man of God really say that? And he said it today?" Sun Chengzong was very anxious, if it was really as the man of God said As you said, the drought that has lasted for more than ten years, the north has not been corrupted to the point of being out of control?The rebellion of the refugees, I'm afraid wave after wave, is this really the end of the Ming Dynasty?My heart was suddenly restless, these years, the Ming Dynasty had ups and downs, and it was hard for a diligent and intelligent emperor to head the family.This happened again, this is to force the Ming Dynasty to death!

"Master Sun, it is true that the man of God told me that even today, the vision of the sky as red as blood will definitely happen in Shaanxi. I dare not believe it, and I don't want to believe it. , as the man of God said..."

The officials still looked at the emperor in disbelief. Seeing the emperor speaking so swearingly, they felt that this matter was so absurd. It was always liars who used gods to cheat the emperor of money. Right now, the emperor used gods to cheat We did, but unfortunately we didn't believe it.Most of the ministers scoffed in their hearts, laughing at the emperor's stupidity and naivety.

"I report to Your Majesty, I believe that dreams cannot be counted and cannot be believed. Otherwise, it is not a mess to believe in the gods in chaos in the affairs of the country." A person came to explain the emperor. It's too far-fetched, if the meaning of "fairies" should be referred to in the major affairs of the country, can the country still function?
"I don't want to believe that this is true, but this matter is so clear in my mind that even now, the words of that man of God are as if I just said it in my ear." Yang Reform repeatedly emphasized the degree of reality of his dreams.

Now, all the ministers felt that the emperor was a little "nervous", and if he didn't "educate" the emperor well, the emperor would move the Bodhisattva statue in the temple into the Golden Luan Hall in a few days.

"Report to Your Majesty, I think this matter is not credible. Your Majesty is working hard on state affairs, so you should pay attention to rest..."

"Your Majesty, this matter is absurd..."

"Your Majesty, this matter is too bizarre to convince the public..."

……

A group of ministers came out to oppose the study of this dream and the study of what the man of God said.

Yang Reform sneered in his heart, what he wanted was such fierce opposition from you, if nothing unexpected happens in history, at this moment, what he said is probably happening in Shaanxi.When the time comes, let's see what you say.

Yang Reform pretended to be very helpless and said: "Since all my lovers say it is impossible, then I will believe you, but if this is Shaanxi, as the gods said, the sky is as red as blood, what should I do?" What should I do? The man of God said, if I don't think of a way in advance, the northern land will be full of hungry people and the flames of war will continue, which will definitely endanger my country and society, and tens of thousands of people will die..." Yang Reform exaggerated this Ming In the aftermath of the Peasant War at the end of the year, what we want is the shocking effect.

The emperor's words were very fierce. Tens of thousands of people were dying. This is such a large number. It is too exaggerated. Thinking about the Ming Dynasty, the registered population is less than tens of millions. If tens of thousands of people died, it is not the Ming Dynasty. Are the children going to be extinct?The ministers also began to worry a little, and became a little scared. The emperor swears that there will be such a thing, what if it happens?What to do?It's a matter of your own wealth and life, so you have to be more cautious.

A minister came out and said: "Your Majesty, I think that if in Shaanxi today, as the god said, the sky is as red as blood, then it will not be too late to talk about it, anyway, I don't care about these few days anyway. If it really happens at that time, the ministers will definitely assist His Majesty with all their strength, provide relief, and appease the people of the world, and it will definitely not happen as the gods said, letting thousands of people live and die."

"The ministers are willing to assist His Majesty to help the common people in the world." The ministers shouted that everything should be done well under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor.

This is what Yang Reform wants. Even if history joked with him and it didn’t happen, it means that his dreams were inaccurate. Once history doesn’t joke with him, the celestial phenomena in Shaanxi will be abnormal, and the shock to the officials can be imagined. Knowing that it will be somewhat helpful for disaster relief and relief.Many people in ancient times played with power, law, and morality. They didn't have any fear or shame about these things, but when it came to gods, they were quite awed. Some people are more afraid of things.

……

The first year of Chongzhen.

March 26.

early morning.

It is still the brainwashing method of MLM, shouting long live, and then singing.Then it's business.

Yang Reform sat on the dragon chair. In the past few days, the monarchs and ministers have been patiently waiting for the news of abnormal celestial phenomena from Shaanxi, to see if His Majesty's dream has really come true.

When discussing the affairs of the court, the monarchs and ministers are also lazy, without much energy, and their minds are all on the news from Shaanxi. If there is any news, it will arrive at the speed of a horse, and it will arrive within a few days. People who have already sent people to Shaanxi to try to get first-hand information.

Therefore, in the past few days, inside and outside the imperial court, they have been discussing the celestial phenomena in Shaanxi, discussing the anomalies in the world, discussing whether the emperor's dream and that god-man is real or not.I don't know how many people are anxious.

……

Yang Reform sat on the Dragon Throne confidently, believing that the wheel of history would come rumbling as scheduled.

It was almost noon.Wang Chengen hurriedly walked to the side of Emperor Chongzhen, with an anxious expression on his face, and said quietly: "Your Majesty, hurry up for the six hundred miles just arrived in Shaanxi." The emperor's dream came true.

Yang Reform froze, six hundred miles in a hurry?Looks like something really happened over there?This history, really did not lie to myself!The performance of pretending to be a magic stick is considered a success.

Yang Reform opened the urgent letter with the words "Fly it immediately, expedited within [-] miles".Browsing it quickly.His face was ugly, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, with a hint of luck.

"...The sky in Shaanxi is as red as blood, and the windows (you) are all red..."

Yang Reform easily understood the content of the letter. The astronomical phenomenon was abnormal, and this was the eve of the catastrophe.Has the great drought in the north that runs through the entire Chongzhen Dynasty finally started today?
Above the court hall, seeing Wang Chengen rushing in, he knew that something was wrong, and when he saw the emperor frowning, he knew that something was going to be bad. I am afraid that the emperor's dream had come true.Most of the ministers looked sad.The child was speechless and confused, and at this moment, he collapsed.

Yang Reform frowned deeply, the wheel of history started rumbling, and he didn't give himself a good face just because he came, what should come, finally came.Thinking of the millions of peasants who couldn’t survive the drought, who peeled bark, ate soil, and ate each other’s children, Yang Reform felt his scalp tingle when he thought of these, and the heavy burden of history overwhelmed his heart on the shoulders.Yang Reform felt that he was a little out of breath.This burden is really too heavy.

"My dear friend, read this letter."

Wang Chengen took the memorial from Emperor Chongzhen and read it out.In the Jinluan Hall, it was very quiet, waiting for Wang Chengen to read the memorial.

……

The emperor's dream came true.

The faces of the officials were extremely ugly.This disaster relief, no money, no disaster relief, the dream of the god-man is an omen, if there is already a forecast of the god-man and you are not ready, then it is a person who committed crimes and cannot live. When the time comes, it will be true as the god-man said , Tens of thousands of people live and die, then these ministers are sinners.

Abnormal celestial phenomena, there must be natural disasters, this is the "truth" in ancient times.

As far as natural disasters are concerned, it is normal for them to occur every three to five years, but as the emperor said, a large-scale drought that lasts for many years, killings that may last for more than ten years, and tens of thousands of people dying, this makes people The ministers feel that the pressure is too great. The lives of the people in the world depend on themselves. This pressure suddenly falls on these ministers. The burden is extremely heavy. If the court cannot solve it well by then The famine problem caused the appearance of the situation predicted by the gods and men. After all, these people will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history and become the object of ridicule by future generations.

This is not insignificant pressure in the ancient times that pay attention to leaving a name in history and "painting according to history".

"I would like to report to your Majesty, this 'sky is as red as blood, and the windows are all red', such a sky phenomenon is really abnormal, which indicates that there will be a severe drought this year. All states and counties in my dynasty have always had reserve warehouses, which can be borrowed from the people in times of famine, and will be repaid in autumn." , to deal with famines, but this is to be able to deal with small disasters and famines. If it is true as the gods said, there will be droughts that last for several years, or even more than ten years, then this reserve warehouse is also a drop in the bucket! This matter, Your Majesty should Prepare early, just in case..."

All the ministers were thinking hard, and now there is a big fuss. If the failure to deal with this matter does not prevent the consequences mentioned in the dream of the gods, then they, the princes of the court, will probably have to be on the pillar of shame in history. It has been advertised on the above for many years, and future dynasties will definitely use them as negative teaching materials, which makes them feel uncomfortable sleeping and eating.

For a while, the hall became silent again.The officials began to rack their brains and think of various countermeasures.

Yang Reform knew all this.The drought in the north has already begun. Famine, rebellion, more than ten years of fighting, population decline, and the demise of the Ming Dynasty. Get crushed.Yang Reform knew it in his heart, but he couldn't tell the ministers.I can only borrow the dream of the gods and men, and give some of the heavy burdens on myself to these elites of the Ming Dynasty.Let them feel the pressure too.Using the power of his "prophet", he was able to use a dagger on the weakness of these Ming dynasty elites.

……

"Retire!" Yang Reform saw that the court hall was unusually deserted, and there was nothing he could do, so he had no choice but to retreat.

Turning around, he said to Wang Chengen: "Big companion, invite the people from the staff department to the Wenhua Palace." Yang Reform could only narrow his circle and discuss countermeasures.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

……

Wenhua Hall.

Yang Reform sat on the throne with a sad face, seeing that all the staff members had arrived.Said: "My dear friends, everyone knows about the urgent matter of six hundred miles today. What do you think of this matter of a dream entrusted by a god and a man? Tell us your own opinions."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Occasionally, disasters occur in one place, which is also a common occurrence. There is no need to be so nervous. Just like the scabies on a person, it does not affect the overall situation if it happens in one place occasionally. There are reserve warehouses, and they have experience in dealing with famines. Your Majesty only needs to strengthen the supervision of the reserve warehouses, and when the time comes, the warehouses will be opened to release grain, and the famine will definitely be eliminated.” The elder of the pavilion explained the Emperor Chongzhen, don’t be so panic when encountering a famine, We still have a disaster defense system.

"I know that there are reserve warehouses all over the country, which can deal with ordinary famines. However, the gods and men predicted that this famine is not an ordinary famine. It will last for several years, or even ten years. Could it be that At that time, there was still food in the storage warehouse? What should we do then?" Yang Reform asked rhetorically.

Seeing that Chongzhen was talking about the god-man's dream, the people in the staff department were silent. It is obviously inappropriate to say that the god-man's dream is unreliable. The god-man had already dreamed three or four nights ago. At that time, the vision had not yet occurred in Shaanxi, so it was impossible to say that the story about the dream entrusted by the God-man was false.At that time, everyone was present at the emperor's prediction, and everyone saw what happened.

"Your Majesty, we can transfer grain from the south of the Yangtze River." Someone came with an idea.

"It's easy to adjust the grain, but where does the money come from? The household department still has a deficit of several million taels, and it all depends on your Majesty's internal funds to support..." Another objected, explaining the predicament of the Ming Dynasty clearly.

This matter is very tangled.The emperor's dream cannot be refuted. In order not to have the consequences of tens of thousands of people dying like the gods and men said, disaster relief must be provided, but this disaster relief requires a huge amount of money.Tangle is tangled here.Everyone knows that disaster relief is needed, but there is no money, not to mention the continuous drought that lasts for several years, more than ten years, how much money will it have to pay?
