The next morning, the first hour of the hour.

When Zhu Youzheng wanted to run for morning exercise as usual, Wang Chengen pushed the door and entered, "Your Majesty, since the beginning of winter, it has been extremely cold in Beijing but there is no snow. ”

"In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and I am already late today, if I stop the morning exercise, the official will think that I am young, and I have no ambition." Zhu Youxiao pushed open the window as he spoke, and when he saw the gray sky outside, he immediately understood that this was a sandstorm, but it was not as serious as after spring, and sighed, "If there is no rain in spring, the wind and haze will cover the day, and the delay in spring plowing will be big, and my heart will be burning." ”

"The emperor is in awe of the heavenly precepts, and he will cultivate virtue in his own self, and the spring rain will come."

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wang Chengen, and was speechless at the time when the people of the time attributed the fact that the Son of Heaven does not rain in virtue, and waved his hand and said, "I ordered the Qin Heavenly Prison to occupy the heavenly phenomena, can there be a repeat?" ”

Since ancient times, China has been based on agriculture, and agricultural hours are closely related to the seasons, so it is particularly important to promulgate the calendar and observe celestial phenomena.

Qin Tianjian in the early Ming Dynasty for the Taishi Supervisor, Si Tianjian, Hongwu three years changed to the present name, responsible for astronomy (sun, moon and stars, wind and clouds, haze), calendar, time observation and calculation, in addition to the south of Chang'an East Street in the office, but also led the carved leakage room, Xihua Gate outside the Lingtai (observatory, there is an armillary sphere to measure the star, occupy the clouds) and so on.

The legitimacy of the monarchy is based on the fact that 'only the Son of Heaven is appointed by heaven' and governs the world on behalf of the gods, so the calendar is regarded as a symbol of the 'mandate of heaven' of 'divine authority of the monarch'.

The Ming Dynasty calendar is called the "Great Unification Calendar", after the 19th year of Jiajing, it is stipulated that the first day of October every year will be presented to the imperial court, and on the same day it will be given to the hundred officials and promulgated to the world. After the calendar was issued, the royal palaces, the inner palaces, the yamen, and the Korean Dynasty all sent people to the celebrant to collect them.

Qin Tianjian is the official of the five products, with the chief supervisor, the deputy supervisor, the supervisor, the young eunuch, the chief bookkeeper, the chief, and the chief and deputy officials of the five senses (spring, summer, middle, autumn, and winter).

Zhou Ziyu has been a five-official since the 39th year of Wanli, and has crossed paths with missionaries Pang Di I and Xiong Sanba, and once wrote to Wanli to translate the Western almanac (Gregorian calendar, that is, the Gregorian calendar commonly used in later generations) into Chinese 'to choose by resources'.

Wang Chengen shook his head, "Why don't you order someone to summon Zhou Ziyu to Changping?" ”

Zhu Youxiao thought that even if the technology was so high in later generations, he couldn't accurately predict it, so he couldn't help but smile, "That's it, let's go back to Beijing and discuss it again." It's really hard for him to let him predict the weather. Although the rain and snow are uncontrollable, they can't stand still, so let's go back and let the Ministry of Industry collect some water conservancy classics. ”

"Yes." Wang Chengen seemed to feel that the Son of Heaven did not believe in ghosts and gods, and was quite puzzled, thinking that it was inconvenient to be far away from Beijing, and asked, "When is the emperor going to return to Beijing?" ”

"Looking at the progress of the various ministries, I may see it more realistically here."

……

Accompanied by Ji Yong, Zhu Youxiao only ran about ten laps in the small teaching field in the west of the General Soldier's Mansion, and the loess left a mouth and nose mark on the mask made temporarily, with the persistence of the exercise, his lung capacity has improved significantly, so he thought about a few fist and foot masters, practicing martial arts, or......

"Brother, brother,"

When Zhu Youxiao was thinking about words like Happy Buddha and Double Cultivation in his mind, he heard the voice that he had been afraid to avoid before, and the distracting thoughts disappeared without a trace.

Ke Yinyue held a horse-faced skirt in one hand, ran into the teaching field quickly, went to Zhu Youxiao, checked whether he was injured up and down, patted his towering chest and said, "Ancestor bless, it's okay...... It's okay. ”

"Baba, why are you here?" Zhu Youxiao could see that Ke Yinyue's forehead was bubbling with white gas, and his face was full of wind and sand, and he understood it at once, and at the same time, he felt that his nose was a little sour.

Wang An only said that it was okay, and he couldn't explain why, he couldn't feel at ease if he couldn't see his brother, if he hadn't been able to leave the city last night...... But it scared me to death, it's okay if my brother is okay, it's okay if it's okay, haha...... Hehe...... Woohoo......"

Zhu Youxiao saw her laughing and crying, and didn't know how to comfort her, so he silently took off the mask, wiped away the tears from the corners of Ke Yinyue's eyes with a corner, clumsy, and finally made a big face.

"It's just that someone is pretending to be a horseman, I ...... The school was unscathed, Baba doesn't believe it. After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he turned around and ran a short lap and jumped a few times.

Ke Yinyue was amused by Zhu Youxiao's childish appearance, "Yes, brother, don't jump, it's okay to be fine, it's okay." Where is the traitor now? Hmph, Baba Fei will cut him with a thousand knives......"

"Ahem, leave it to the legal department to discuss the crime." With Zhu Youxiao's mind, he can understand his intentions, which is maternal love rather than politics, and of course he doesn't think it's wrong.

Ke Yinyue didn't think about it so much, seeing that Zhu Youxiao was still alive, knowing that the imperial court would definitely not spare him, he stepped forward and took his hand, looked at the top of his head, and said in surprise, "I haven't seen him for more than a month, my brother has grown a lot taller." ”

Zhu Youxiao was speechless, at this moment, he was facing Ke Yinyue's chest grandiosely, after all, he was not a mother and son, and he had already experienced personnel, so he felt uncomfortable, and he couldn't shirk it after a few attempts, so he had to look aside.

"Hey, the little girl is here too."

Ren Rongrong, who was smiling with teary eyes, was not far from Ke Yinyue's side, and she had a full view of the actions of the Son of Heaven just now, and when she heard the words, she sighed in her heart, "I know that the suspect's family is small, I don't know if it will grow", completely forgot the reason for coming here, and snorted.

"Oh, that's right, after Rong Rong sent chili peppers into the palace yesterday, she came out to see martial law in the whole city, and the streets were full of soldiers, so she cried and had to fall from the city wall to find her brother, I had to say that I was able to give up, but she stayed in Deshengmen for a night, and this morning the city gate came as soon as it opened, and ran away with a shoe."

With Ke Yinyue's narration, Ren Rongrong became more and more unnatural, and she couldn't bear to go, so she put her feet under her skirt, twisted the corners of her clothes, and said in a low voice with a red face, "Mama, people don't have it." ”

Zhu Youxiao saw her twisted appearance, and sighed that "it is the most difficult to accept the grace of the beauty", knowing that she was thin-faced and public, he didn't dare to joke, so he instructed Ji Yong, "Let Daqixun's family come to serve." ”

Ji Yong, as a man, can also see from the doting expression of the Son of Heaven that this Wei Jin loyal and righteous woman will definitely enter the harem, and she knows what to do without detailed instructions, and after responding to the "obey the order", she ran out quickly.

……

After freshening up and eating, Fang Congzhe, Sun Ruyou, and Yang Lian came to the main hall of the General Military Mansion to ask for instructions, this Qingnucleus Beijing Division soldiers and horses are simple, but the placement is a difficult problem, the court must come up with a practical plan, otherwise the expulsion will be chaotic if there is no food and clothing.

Fang Congzhe took out a booklet from his sleeve and sent it to the Shuai case, "Jingchen and others estimated last night that the Jinwu and other guards who were guarding the imperial city would cut out nearly 10,000, not counting the Shenji Battalion that went out of the customs, the Jingying Shenshu and the Second Battalion of the Fifth Army could be called less than 10,000 elite soldiers, and if the rest were all reduced, there would be 50,000 or 60,000, and how to place them must be fixed." ”

"Non-elite soldiers should be reduced, but how can more than 10,000 soldiers defend the Beijing division, so the ministers are proposed to re-recruit in Zhili, Shandong, Henan and other places to make up for the number of 120,000 in the Beijing camp." Yang Lian's rank is too low, and he did not participate in the collegial discussion last night, but he is still in the military department and has the right to speak.

Sun Ruyou remembered the story of the Beijing camp in the past dynasties, and also said, "Xu Guangqi used to train in Tongzhou before, and he often begged for money with a lack of salary. If there is no heavy profit, the dilemma of 'the brave do not come, and the weak do not go' will be reproduced. If you follow the practice of the previous dynasty, you should transfer the border soldiers and replace them with horses. ”

Fang Congzhe added, "The drunkard once said, 'Yiyu can die', the Beijing camp has been comfortable for too long, and the ordinary is negligent in practice, every time after the reorganization, the long is ten years, and the short is several years, and it will be eroded as before, so the minister thinks that the Beijing camp and the border town should be set as a regular practice." ”

Sun Ruyou saw that his opinion was recognized, and said happily, "What Fang Ge Lao said is reasonable, 'oranges are born in Huainan, and oranges are oranges in Huaibei', and the situation dictates ......"

"Wait." Zhu Youxiao interrupted, "Not to mention whether the soldiers and horses in the border towns are like the Beijing camp, and regardless of the change of guards, the recruitment of money, etc., the top priority is to settle the reduced troops, can there be a good strategy?" ”

The "......" people looked at each other, and they didn't seem to have any praise.
