Chapter 367: The Son of Heaven Prayers for Rain One

readx;

With just a smile, Chen Yuanyuan planted the seeds of sin in Liu Zongmin's heart, and even in the dry spring ploughing season of the Ming Dynasty, it was growing rapidly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although Zhu Qing was aware of this dangerous encounter, he still comforted himself that he would bring Liu Zongmin back to Kaifeng.

It often backfires. The murder of the soldiers shocked Chongzhen. After Zhu Qing and others picked up Li Yufeng from Chengdong Village, Chongzhen summoned Jinyiwei, and the trip back to Kaifeng was delayed.

"The feet of the Son of Heaven are so rampant, could it be that I have no heavenly power at all?!" Chongzhen was furious, clearly saying the will of heaven, alluding to the ineffective handling of Jinyiwei, which made the emperor feel uneasy.

When Suzaku and the others heard this, they knelt down together and pleaded guilty, "The emperor is angry, and the ministers are ineffective, please punish the emperor." "I just don't want to be punished, and I say so.

"Humph!" Chongzhen was angry and helpless, "Get up, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in this capital if I punish you." Chongzhen is also very clear about the significance of Jinyiwei's comfort to the imperial city and even the entire Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qing didn't kneel, he just hugged his fists and said to Chongzhen, "The emperor's heavenly power is not protected by ministers, but made by the emperor." ”

"...... you?!" Chongzhen was already unhappy, but now when he heard Zhu Qing say this, he was even more angry, "You mean I don't look like a competent emperor?" ”

Suzaku and the others hurriedly pulled Zhu Qing and persuaded him not to talk nonsense.

Zhu Qing disagreed, and continued to say, "The emperor is diligent and loves the people, does not want to enjoy himself, and works hard for the country, of course he is a competent emperor." ”

When Zhu Qing said this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it was rare for Zhu Qing to say good things in front of the emperor. And the anger on Chongzhen's face also eased a lot for a while.

However, when Chongzhen was a little complacent, Zhu Qing poured a basin of cold water again, "However, there is still a difference between a competent emperor and a good emperor." When everyone heard this, they were shocked again, Chongzhen's emotions were suddenly provoked by Zhu Qing again, and they couldn't wait to ask someone to arrest this brocade guard who had no one in their eyes. However, Chongzhen was not allowed to interject, so Zhu Qing continued, "What is Tianwei? That is, even the heavens are felt by the emperor, calling the heavens and the earth, the earth and the earth, and the people. This is Tianwei also! ”

When everyone heard this, although they were afraid, they didn't mean to dissuade Zhu Qing, even Chongzhen looked at Zhu Qing talking about himself there, and he didn't mean to blame, because his so-called Tianwei was really like this, and now it seems that Chongzhen really failed to do it. If you have the power of heaven, why do these chaos continue unabated? Chongzhen's high dragon body gradually withered, it turned out that he was so diligent and hardworking, he couldn't be a good emperor!

"Then tell me, how can I become a good emperor? How can I have the power of the Son of Heaven? Chongzhen temporarily put aside his suspicions, he hoped that someone would guide him, in the past, he listened to those gluttonous ministers chanting every day, "Long live my emperor, long live" but he watched himself and the end of the Ming Dynasty approaching day by day, he knew that those nice words were illusory, loyal to the ear, he wanted to hear the opinions of Zhu Qing and others.

"Actually, the emperor is already becoming a good emperor." Seeing that Chongzhen was willing to listen to the advice of his subordinates, Zhu Qing was very pleased.

"Oh?" Chongzhen was puzzled.

"I wonder if the emperor can remember the land reform?" Zhu Qing prompted.

When Chongzhen heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "Of course I remember, the reforms you implemented." By the way, how is the land reform progressing? Although Chongzhen said that he remembered, but judging from Chongzhen's performance, it seems that he is not so concerned, after all, he is the biggest landlord in the Ming Dynasty, and he reforms his own life, who is willing to do it, but he feels that this is a refreshing policy, and it was written by Zhu Qing to be the first to try. If Zhu Qing doesn't mention it again, I'm afraid he has forgotten.

Zhu Qing couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw Chongzhen's performance, he was trying his best to think about Chongzhen, and tried his best to help Chongzhen revive the Ming Dynasty and change his life against the sky, but this so-called true son of heaven didn't seem to understand and cooperate very much. Fortunately, Zhu Qing did not give up, he naturally knew the difficulty of reform, and it was difficult to advance in the new democratic period, not to mention the feudal Ming Dynasty? Thinking about it like this, Zhu Qing became much calmer, he believed that as long as he made achievements, the emperor and the Ming Dynasty would recognize it!

"Emperor Qi, land reform has been pushed from the capital to the north to Shaanxi, to the south to the two lakes and two Guangzhou, and to the east in Shandong, Suzhou and Hangzhou and other coastal areas." Zhu Qing responded.

"The White Lotus Sect of Shandong refugees actually supports land reform, which is really unexpected by the ministers." It turned out that during this time, Liu Qingfeng was secretly sent by Zhu Qing to Shandong to supervise the land reform.

"The people in Suzhou and Hangzhou are also very interested in the new law." Dongfang Bai and Yan Shi Niang have been in charge of Jiangnan affairs.

"Chen Daliang, the richest man in Sichuan, used the proceeds from his liquor sales to support land reform, and the local tycoons in the two lakes and the two regions were also under the control of the minister." Zhu Qing said to Chongzhen.

When Chongzhen heard this, he was very surprised, he just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that in just a few months, the land reform would be implemented so quickly.

"Good! If the land reform is as mentioned by Qinglong Aiqing, I will be able to hope for the Ming Dynasty. Chongzhen Longyan Dayue, he naturally knew that the results of these land reforms were of course the credit of Jinyiwei. How could those landlords and tyrants willingly come out to support land reform? It must be the combination of soft and hard Jinyiwei that made them temporarily convinced.

"However, if we want to preserve these initial achievements and strive for the final victory, we should let the land reform really blossom and bear fruit, so that the government and the people can really get the benefits of the land reform, so that they will not give up halfway." Zhu Qing really knew what Chongzhen was worried about.

When everyone heard this, they nodded their heads, because the illusion seems to be good, but in fact, the difficulties of land reform are different in each place. In some places, new public anger has been stirred. Fortunately, Jinyiwei can hold it down. But repression is not the best way to solve the problem.

"How can it blossom and bear fruit?" Chongzhen asked directly.

Zhu Qing took a step forward and responded, "Your Majesty, it is now the spring ploughing season, whether the land reform can bring harvest, this first step of course depends on the scene of spring ploughing." ”

Zhu Qingyi said that several adults were discussing, everyone knew that the spring plowing season had arrived, but how to plough was the key. Years of drought have torn the land apart!

When Chongzhen heard this, he stood up from the dragon chair, walked down the hall, and sighed, "I also occasionally pay private visits, and even go to the fields to have a look, but there is not an inch of land to cultivate in such a vast land of the Ming Dynasty, and it is said that it is a drought, and even my imperial garden has withered!" ”

Everyone saw that Chongzhen was really anxious. If the land could be cultivated, how could he worry about the Ming treasury? But now that the state treasury is unable to make ends meet, it is really the poorer the more taxes are raised, otherwise the soldiers fighting in the front will have no food to eat, and the more taxes are raised, the more the people will rebel, which has led to today's situation.

"Could it be that the sky is going to kill my Daming?!" Chongzhen's love went to the depths, and he looked up to the sky and sighed.

The ministers were speechless, only Zhu Qing stepped forward and said calmly, "Why doesn't the emperor change his life against the sky?" Revive Tianwei? ”

When everyone heard this, Zhu Qing was so angry, although they had seen Zhu Qing's power on weekdays, but who could go against the will of heaven?

"Change your life against the sky?!" Chongzhen was shocked.

Zhu Qing nodded, "Your Majesty, look at ......" As he spoke, Zhu Qing took Chongzhen outside the hall and looked at the sky, and there was a rare haze in the sky.

"At this time in the spring ploughing season, there are still signs of rain in the sky, indicating that I have not given up on this day, why don't the emperor come to pray for rain from the Son of Heaven, and move the heavens, and I will be bright in the rain?" In normal times, Zhu Qing would also be laughed at by his own nonsense, but now he has confidence, he has caused the land to be burned all over the country, and the smoke is somewhat polluted, but it is not chemical pollution, and those smoke have begun to have an effect!

God helps those who help themselves. This is the science that Zhu Qing believes in the most in the feudal dynasty!

"The Son of Heaven prays for rain? This is a good proposal, but can I really pray for rain for the people of the Ming Dynasty? Chongzhen was both excited and worried, because he had done dozens of so-called rain prayer ceremonies, but except for the occasional wind to extinguish the incense candles, there were hardly any raindrops.

"Sincerity is spirituality." Zhu Qing arched his hand and said, "The ministers are willing to pray for rain with the emperor to ensure a good harvest for me." ”

Zhu Qing said this, and the ministers of Suzaku and other Jinyi Wei also responded, "The ministers are willing to pray for rain with the emperor to ensure a bumper harvest for me!" ”

When Chongzhen saw this scene, whether a dead horse was a live horse doctor, or he was determined to win, he decided to do it.

"Good! Tomorrow the altar will sacrifice to the sky, and the Son of Heaven will pray for rain! Chongzhen said excitedly.
