Chapter 59: Chinese New Year's Eve
Qin Botong, who gets up at three o'clock every day for various queue training and physical training, came back immediately after a hurried shower and began to brush his teeth and wash his face, until he was sure that he was indeed in the same position as his comrades, and then climbed into bed and prepared to sleep.

After being taken care of for more than ten days in a row, he couldn't help but secretly swear that even if he was killed in the future, he would never say in front of others that he wanted to be promoted and make a fortune.
Qin Botong felt that he had to be like Chang Yanling's kid, and he said at every turn that he wanted to serve the Ming Dynasty 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, the generalissimo who swept Europe, Qin Botong, also said this when recalling his comrade-in-arms Chang Yanling.
"Urgent gathering!"
Suddenly, there was a whistle outside, which made Qin Botong, who was repenting for wanting to be promoted and make a fortune, immediately turned over and hurriedly began to get dressed, for fear of being a second late.
Now he is accustomed to this kind of emergency gathering from time to time, and he is also used to being taken out of the Forbidden City by Lu Shilang and running along Jingshan without nonsense.
This time, Qin Botong was very fast, and after he appeared in front of Lu Shilang and stood up, Ao Bai and Chang Yanling rushed over, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but joke Ao Bai:
"Hey, I said, people are often Xiaohou Ye for Daming, what are you for, is it that Huang Taiji robbed your concubine and gave you a green hat, so you took refuge in me Daming and wanted to find Huang Taiji for revenge in the future."
"The surname is Qin, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will burst your teeth now!"
Ao Bai was about to show his fist, but Lu Xiangsheng's leather whip hit him directly: "Did the official let you speak, how many times have you memorized the discipline of the discipline, and you still can't remember it, give Lao Tzu to lie down, do push-ups, until the official is satisfied!" β
Qin Botong took a sip of Ao Bai and lay on the ground to do it.
And because Ao Bai was captured by Lu Xiangsheng, he only listened to two people in the Ming Dynasty, one was Zhu Youxiao and the other was Lu Xiangsheng.
Therefore, he didn't dare to resist after being whipped by Lu Xiangsheng, but just glared at Qin Botong and obediently started push-ups.

It was Chinese 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, and at the same time, the new newspaper "Kyoto Daily" organized by the Ministry of Ceremonies and the "Daming Daily," which had been sold all over the country, also published His Majesty's New Year's message on the front page at the same time.
It seems that because of this, the New Year of the eighth year of the Apocalypse seems to have a different flavor from previous years.
The people of the Ming Dynasty, especially the scholars at the bottom, found that they could communicate so closely with the emperor, and they could also receive the blessing of the king.
The royalists even publicized Zhu Youxiao's pro-people move, and his reputation as a carpenter emperor and emperor of the house began to slowly change in the market.
In addition, because it was a new year and a new atmosphere, even God stopped admiring the heavy snow for several days.
Even, according to Sun Chengzong's report, several prefectures and counties in the land of Qin and Jin, which had been in drought for a long time, finally ushered in a rainstorm, and this year is expected to save part of the winter wheat harvest.
Moreover, due to the construction and dredging of water conservancy, land reclamation, the promotion of crops such as sweet potatoes, and the clarification of the government officials, tens of thousands of displaced people have returned to their homeland and rebuilt their homes.
At the same time, Huo Weihua, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, who went out to inspect various places and supervised the projects in various places, reported that the dredging projects of the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, the Huai River and other rivers were progressing smoothly, and that 100,000 displaced people had participated in the project and had been properly resettled.
After Zhu Youxiao learned about it, he couldn't help but order the cabinet to approve Aiqing to be able to have fun with the people and have the style of a 61 layman, and reward him with a bullfighting uniform.
Without further ado, although it was Chinese New Year's Eve, as the emperor, Zhu Youxiao had to go to the Taimiao early in the morning to worship.
Looking at the rows of tablets and incense-filled hanging statues in the temple, from Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, to his father Zhu Changluo, who succeeded to the throne for only one month.
Zhu Youxiao seems to have experienced the vicissitudes of the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years in an instant, and until this time, the empire was at the helm by himself.
The state religion re-honored, in order to restore the Chinese etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, the people still have to open the ancestral hall, set up a big feast, kill pigs and sheep for the ancestors of the ceremony.
And Zhu Youxiao, as the Ming Emperor, the symbol of the imperial etiquette order, the etiquette is naturally more cumbersome, and he has to complete countless ceremonies after just one temple sacrifice.
By the time 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 her wife's tenderness at this time.
Under the guidance of Zhu Youxiao, she has mastered various massage techniques, and in less than a stick of incense, Zhu Youxiao's tired body can recover her energy under the queen's massage, and her whole body is comfortable and soft.
Liu Ru will also sensibly bring a basin of hot water at this time and soak Zhu Youxiao's feet.
The sleepy Zhu Youxiao enjoyed this 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 be a conservative emperor like this, and live quietly in this isolated Forbidden City with his beloved concubines and concubines.
Maybe when he is in a good mood, he can take a look at the scenery of various places, even if it is like Emperor Zhengde.
Whether it is a civil official, a eunuch, or a military attachΓ©, let them fight, and they are too lazy to care.
But according to the arrangement of history, his own Ming Dynasty will only have seventeen years of national glory from now on, and it is destined that his emperor, the emperor, must be as diligent as Chongzhen.
"Minister, Lu Xiangsheng has seen Your Majesty!"
In order to train officers and students, Lu Xiangsheng was left in the palace by Zhu Youxiaoqiang, so there was no way to go home for the New Year.
Seeing this, Queen Zhang Yan simply ordered the people in the palace to take Lu Xiangsheng's family into the palace to live temporarily, so as to relieve Lu Xiangsheng's thoughts of reunion.
Zhu Youxiao also took the initiative to invite Lu Xiangsheng's family to spend Chinese New Year's Eve with him, the emperor.
This is also an unprecedented glory, and Lu Xiangsheng is here to personally give a thanksgiving excerpt at this moment.
Zhu Youxiao didn't have much leisure to look at the crepe thanksgiving fold, and after ordering someone to give him a seat, he asked Lu Xiangsheng: "These days, how is the training of the officers and cadets?" β
As for the term "officer student", Lu Xiangsheng was quite surprised and curious when he first heard Zhu Youxiao mention it, but now he is used to it, and as soon as he saw His Majesty ask, he hurriedly replied: "I have gained a lot, I have been able to do the order and prohibition, my habits have been reduced a lot, and my physical fitness has also improved. β
"You don't have to flatter Shu", Zhu Youxiao saw that Liu Ruyu was also waiting on the side, so he said: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, you go and call all those officers and students to the Qianqing Palace in Shu, Huo Weihua's guy celebrates Chinese New Year's Eve with hundreds of thousands of people, and now Shu can't be too cold, just celebrate the New Year with these officers and students of Shu, the empress, order the imperial dining room to cook more dumplings." β
