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

Yang Reform looked at these people coldly, but he was thinking about his own calculations in his heart, if he remembered correctly, today, Shaanxi, there will be an incident, this incident, will become the symbol of the entire Chongzhen Dynasty, since then, drought continues, natural disasters continue, the consequence is the peasant uprising that can not eat, the consequence of the outbreak of large-scale peasant uprising is the strangulation of the peasant uprising for more than ten years, until Li Zicheng entered Yanjing City, the Ming Dynasty was completely finished, it can be said that this incident is a sign of the tragedy of the entire Chongzhen Dynasty. Then Li Zicheng was defeated in Shihe, and an even greater tragedy befell him.

Yang Gai, who deliberately went back to check on Baidu, is ready to use today's special event to pretend to be a magic stick to remind these ministers, exert some pressure, and prepare for the drought resistance, disaster relief, and pacification of the displaced people that will last for several years. As for the effect, Yang Gai believes that as long as he exerts enough pressure, there will still be some effect, and he does not expect to completely suppress the outbreak of the peasant uprising, but also to reduce the scale of the outbreak of the peasant uprising on the largest scale, so as to gain a little time and strength for himself to fight against the wild boar skin.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today, there is another thing to tell you, this matter, speaking of which, is also very magical, I don't know if it works, I last night, a god in my dream warned me, saying that today, there will be abnormal celestial phenomena in the direction of Shaanxi, which is a sign of a great drought, so that I can prepare to fight the drought, so as not to displace the people of Li."

Emperor Chongzhen's words, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the emperor had to dream of a god? This time, I don't know what the emperor has to do, I want to rectify everyone, and the ministers listened carefully to the emperor's words, but it was not the words of the whole person, but an abnormal celestial phenomenon, involving natural disasters and droughts, and it was predicted. Shaanxi and the capital are separated by thousands of miles, if you can predict the celestial phenomena in Shaanxi, then this god man is really a god. They all thought that the emperor had an impossible dream.

At that moment, someone came out to explain the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, the son is silent and the strange power is chaotic, and the gods and men don't have to take it seriously. ”

Confucian scholars and doctors do not support, oppose, or believe in the gods and gods, and they are respectful and far away.

"Thank you for the enlightenment of this Qing family, but this dream of mine is very magical, and its dream is unusually clear, just like yesterday's experience, vividly, and the words are very detailed, and the words are true, not the ethereal dream."

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

"The minister would like to hear about it."

"The man of God told me that even today, the heavens in Shaanxi will be as red as blood, and the celestial phenomenon that is the omen is a drought in the north that has lasted for several years, thousands of miles of red land, continuous famines, and the displacement of the people. Chongzhen swore that the events that had occurred in history were told by gods and men, and he told it, which will, presumably, in Shaanxi, the kind of celestial phenomenon he said is happening.

"Hiss......" The ministers gasped, the god in the dream of His Majesty the Emperor said it so clearly, even the time, place, the occurrence of that kind of celestial phenomenon, and the subsequent events, all said clearly, this does not seem to be the emperor talking in a dream, he said it with a nose and eyes, this dream is really said very clearly.

Sun Chengzong stood below, couldn't help it, and came out and said, "Your Majesty, dare to ask, did that god man really say so?" And that's what you're talking about? "Sun Chengzong is very anxious, if it is really as this god said, the drought that lasts for several years, this north, is not so rotten that it is out of control? The uprisings of the displaced people, I am afraid that there will be waves one after another, is this really the exhaustion of the Ming Dynasty? I was suddenly restless in my heart, over the years, the Ming Dynasty had been through ups and downs, and it was not easy to get out of a diligent and intelligent emperor. This happened again, this is to force the Ming Dynasty to death!

"Master Sun, indeed, the man of God told me that even today, there will be a vision of the sky being red as blood in Shaanxi, and I don't dare to believe it, and I don't want to believe it, but once Shaanxi is really red like blood, just as the man of God said......"

The ministers still looked at the emperor in disbelief, and saw the emperor swearing so much, thinking that this matter was so ridiculous, it has always been a liar who used the gods to deceive the emperor's silver, rights, and now it is good, the emperor used the gods to deceive us, but unfortunately we don't believe it. Most of the ministers scoffed in their hearts and laughed at the emperor for being stupid and naïve.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that dreams cannot be counted, and you can't believe it, otherwise, the major affairs of the country, believe in the chaos of the strange gods, isn't it a mess?" There is a person who explains the emperor, this kind of thing is really too fantastical, if the major affairs of the country have to refer to the meaning of "immortals", then can the country still function?

"I don't want to believe it's true, but this matter is so clear in my mind that now, the words of the man of God are as if they had just been said in my ear." Yang reformed repeatedly emphasized the degree of reality of his dreams.

At this time, all the ministers felt that the emperor was a little "neurotic", and if he didn't "educate" the emperor well, the emperor would move the Bodhisattva statue in the temple into this Jinluan Hall in a few days.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is not credible, Your Majesty is working hard for state affairs, and you should pay attention to rest......"

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

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

……

All the ministers came out to oppose the study of this dream, and the study of the words of this man of God.

Yang Gengai sneered in his heart, what he wants is such fierce opposition from you, if there is no accident in history, at this time, what he said is probably happening in Shaanxi. When the time comes, it's up to you what you say.

Yang Gai pretended to be very helpless and said: "Since all of you Aiqing said that it was impossible, then I will also believe you Aiqing, but what if this is really Shaanxi as the gods said, the sky is as red as blood?" The man of God said, if I don't think of a way in advance, this northern land will definitely be hungry and hungry, and the beacon fire will continue, and it will definitely endanger the society of my Ming Dynasty, and thousands of people will die...... "Yang Reform exaggerated the consequences of the peasant war at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and what he wanted was that shocking effect.

The emperor's words are very fierce, tens of thousands of people are born and die, what a big number this is, it is too exaggerated, think that the Ming Dynasty, the registered population, is not tens of thousands, tens of thousands of people died, then isn't it the children of the Ming Dynasty to be extinct? The ministers also began to be a little worried, a little scared, the emperor swore that there was such a thing, what if it happened? What to do? It's a matter of your own family name, so you have to be cautious.

A minister came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if it is said that in Shaanxi today, it is really as red as blood as the man of God said, and it is not too late to talk about it at that time, and I don't care about these few days anyway." When the time comes, if it really happens, the ministers will do their best to assist Your Majesty, provide disaster relief, and appease the people of the world, and there will be no such thing as God said, so that thousands of people will die. ”

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

Yang Reform wants this result, even if history jokes with himself, this did not happen, that is, his dream is not accurate, once history does not joke with himself, the celestial phenomenon in Shaanxi is abnormal, and the shock to the ministers can be imagined, and it will be somewhat helpful for his own disaster relief and relief. Many people in ancient times, playing with power, law, and morality, did not have the slightest fear and shame for these, but when it comes to God, it is quite fearful, and even Confucianism is also an attitude of "respecting and staying away", and some people are even more afraid of this kind of nothingness.

……

The first year of Chongzhen.

March 26.

Morning.

It's still the brainwashing of MLM**, chanting long live, and then singing. And then there's business.

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

Talking about court affairs, the monarchs and ministers are also lazy, not much spirit, their minds are on the news in Shaanxi, if there is really news, at the speed of fast horses, it will be in the next few days, and even some people have sent people to Shaanxi to strive to get first-hand information.

Therefore, in the past few days, the whole court, inside and outside, are discussing the celestial phenomena in Shaanxi, the abnormalities in the world, and discussing whether the emperor's dream and that god man are real. I don't know how many people are worried.

……

Yang Gai sat confidently on the dragon chair, believing that the wheel of history would come as scheduled.

It's almost noon. Wang Chengen hurriedly walked to the side of Emperor Chongzhen, looked anxious, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the six hundred miles that have just arrived in Shaanxi are urgent. "The emperor's dream has come true.

Yang reformed, six hundred miles urgently? Looks like there's really something going on over there? This history really didn't lie to yourself! The performance of pretending to be a god stick is considered a success.

Yang Gaiai opened the urgent letter with the words "Fly immediately, six hundred miles expedited". I skimmed it around. His face was ugly, but he was relieved 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 Gengai easily figured out the content of this letter, the celestial phenomenon was abnormal, and this was the eve of the cataclysm. From the great drought in the north that ran through the entire Chongzhen Dynasty, has it finally started today?

Above the court, when I saw Wang Chengen hurrying in, I knew that things were not good, and when I saw the emperor frowning, I knew that things might be very bad, and I was afraid that the emperor's dream had come true. Most of the ministers looked gloomy. Zi Bu was silent, and at this moment, he collapsed.

Yang Reform's brows were furrowed, the wheel of history was rumbling, and it was not because of his arrival, he was a traverser, he gave himself a good face, he should come, and finally came. Thinking of the millions of peasants who couldn't survive because of the drought, peeling tree bark, eating soil, and cannibalism, Yang Gengai thought of this, and felt that this scalp was numb, and the burden of history suddenly overwhelmed his shoulders. Yang felt that he was a little out of breath. This burden is too heavy.

"Ome, read this letter."

Wang Chengen took the recital in the hands of Emperor Chongzhen and read it out. In the Jinluan Palace, it was very quiet, waiting for Wang Chengen to read the recital.

……

The emperor's dream was fulfilled.

The faces of the ministers were unusually ugly. If there is already a prophet of the man of God and he is not well prepared, then it is a man who is guilty and cannot live, and when the time comes, as the man of God said, ten thousand people will die in a disorderly manner, then their ministers will be sinners.

If the celestial phenomena are abnormal, there must be natural disasters, which in ancient times was the "truth".

If you want to talk about natural disasters, every three or five years, it is normal, but as the emperor said, a large-scale drought for many years may last for more than ten years of killing, and tens of thousands of people will die. After all, it will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history and become the object of ridicule by future generations.

This is in the ancient times when we paid attention to leaving a name in history and paying attention to "Danqing shines on sweat and green", and the pressure is not small.

"Your Majesty, this 'sky is as red as blood, and the windows are red', such a celestial phenomenon is really abnormal, indicating that there will be a great drought this year, I have always had a reserve warehouse in various states and counties, which can be borrowed from the people in the famine year, and repaid in the autumn to deal with the famine, but this is also to deal with a small disaster and a small famine, if it is really as the gods said, there will be a drought that lasts for several years, or even more than ten years, then this reserve warehouse is also a drop in the bucket! Your Majesty should prepare for this matter as soon as possible, just in case it ......"

If this matter is mistaken and does not prevent the consequences of the gods and men in their dreams, then the princes of their court, I am afraid, they will have to be on the pillar of shame in history, flaunting for many years, and the future dynasties will definitely use them as negative teaching materials, which will make them difficult to sleep.

For a moment, the court became silent again. The ministers began to rack their brains and think of various countermeasures.

Yang Gai knows that the drought in the north has started today, the famine at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the peasant uprising, more than ten years of fighting, the withering population, the demise of the Ming Dynasty, and the wheel of history have been crushed all the way, crushing all the mantis arms that are trying to block them. Yang Reform knew it in his heart, but he couldn't tell the ministers. can only use the gods to support their dreams, and give some of the burdens on their bodies to these elites of the Ming Dynasty. Let them feel the pressure too. Use the power of his prophet to put a dagger on the weakness of these Ming elites.

……

"Retreat!" Yang Gengai saw that the court was unusually deserted, and there was no good way, so he had to retreat from the court.

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

"Yes, Your Majesty."

……

Mandarin Palace.

Yang Gai sat on the dragon chair with a sad face, and saw that all the people in the staff department had arrived. Said: "Ladies and gentlemen, everyone knows about the six-hundred-mile urgent matter today, what do you think of this god-man dream?" Let's talk about what they think. ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty sits on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, occasionally a place suffers a disaster, it is also a common thing, there is no need to be so nervous, just like a small scabies on a person's body, occasionally a place commits a crime, and it does not affect the overall situation, each state and county has a reserve warehouse, and there is experience in responding to the famine, as long as Your Majesty strengthens the supervision of the reserve warehouse, when the time comes, the warehouse will be opened and the grain will be released, and the famine will definitely be eliminated." This pavilion elder relieved Emperor Chongzhen, don't panic like this in case of famine, we still have a disaster prevention system.

"I know that there are reserve warehouses in various places, and it is possible to deal with ordinary famines, but this famine, the gods and men foreshadowed, is not an ordinary famine, it will last for several years, even more than ten years, is it possible that there is still food in the storage warehouse at that time? So what to do? Yang asked rhetorically.

Seeing Chongzhen talking about the dream of the godman, the people in the staff department were silent, to say that the dream of the god is unreliable, it is obviously not appropriate, the god man was already dreaming in the night four days ago, the emperor had predicted three days ago, there was no vision in Shaanxi at that time, and it was impossible to say that the dream of the god was false. At that time, everyone was present at the emperor's prediction, and everyone saw what happened.

"Your Majesty, you can transfer grain from Jiangnan." Here comes an idea.

"It's easy to adjust food, but where does the money come from? There is still a deficit of several million taels in the household department, thanks to the support of His Majesty's internal funds......" another objected, explaining the predicament of the Ming Dynasty clearly.

It's a tangled matter. The emperor's dream cannot be refuted, in order not to have the consequences of the death of tens of thousands of people as the gods said, it is necessary to provide disaster relief, but this disaster relief, the amount of silver needed is really huge, and if you can't take out the silver, what disaster relief can you take? The tangled is here. Everyone knows that there is a famine to provide relief, but there is no silver, and it is a continuous drought for several years or more than ten years, how much silver does it have to pay out?
