After a year of suspension, it is not a luxury for Zhu Youxiao.

Although Houjin launched, judging from the news just came, it was not clear that its true purpose and the real target of the attack were not discerned.

However, the preparations have been done sufficiently, the money, food, ammunition and materials are fully prepared, and the vigilance of the military towns is also very high, and they are all arranged to meet the battle.

If this doesn't work, Zhu Youxiao can't do anything. Besides, in the palace, he is in a hurry, and he can't command indiscriminately.

Ning Yuan is so strong, with Xiong Tingbi personally in charge, and Hongyi cannons, even if Jiannu comes with 180,000, he can't take it down;

Juehua's defense facilities are also very complete, He Kegang and others command, and there are sailors to help in the battle, and the sea is not necessarily frozen, and it is not an ordinary difficulty for Jiannu to break through;

Brigade Da Zhangpan, Kong Youde's two associations, as well as Dengzhen's reinforcements, with a perfect in-depth defense line, as well as artillery and eagle guns, should be very sure of holding on and will not be lost;

Dongjiang Mao Wenlong's headquarters has the most people and horses, and the weapons and equipment are not bad. Coupled with the shrewdness of the Maoda guerrilla leader, even if he can't hold it on land, there is no problem in withdrawing to the island, right?

Damn Jiannu, if you fight again after the New Year, it's just a few days away?

Zhu Youxiao scolded in his heart, came to the sand table, analyzed it carefully again, and was somewhat relieved. It's useless to worry about it, just wait for the news later!

Although the launch of Jiannu made Zhu Youxiao a little unhappy, this was not unexpected. Being in such a hurry to attack strengthened Zhu Youxiao's determination to continue the blockade and siege.

Although in his memory, the first great famine in history seems to have been a few years later, as if Yuan Chonghuan sold grain to the pro-Jin Mongol tribes, indirectly alleviating the famine in Houjin.

However, it is very different from history, and the embarrassment of Houjin has been revealed, and it is very possible that the economic crisis will occur in advance.

If you can't grab it this time, it will be even more finished next year!

Zhu Youxiao sneered, his heart was full of malice, and he had a little more confidence in the small goal of "five years of peace".

"The Emperor." Wang Tiqian came in to report, "The fireworks outside the noon gate have been arranged, and the greenhouse has also been erected, do you want to notify the nobles in the harem now?" ”

Although there is a rule for setting off fireworks in the Qianqing Palace during the Chinese New Year, Zhu Youxiao felt that the people in the Guanggong Palace saw that it was a bit wasteful, so he made changes.

One is not from the 24th day of the lunar month, but from the 28th to the first day of the Lunar New Year; The second is to change the open space outside the noon gate, and allow the people of Beijing to come and watch.

In addition to the fireworks, there are also Aoshan lanterns and fireworks in the palace, which are also moved to the outside of the noon gate to show the atmosphere of celebrating with the people.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said, "Concubine Yu should be more careful and send more palace people to take care of her." If she doesn't want to see it, don't force it. ”

"Yes, the slave will send someone to pass on the emperor's message." Wang Tiqian knew that it was because Concubine Yu had a body, and the emperor attached great importance to it and respectfully agreed.

It's a pity that the harem is not allowed to set off fireworks, for fear of causing a fire. Zhu Youxiao was a little regretful, but he still knew which was more important and did not change this rule.

"Let's also put some fireworks in the Qianqing Palace on Chinese New Year's Eve!" Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth and ordered: "The concubines of the Xuanhou Palace come and accompany Yuan for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." ”

Although there is no such rule, in the palace, it is nothing. This is also the emperor taking care of the concubines, and there is no need to go to the noon gate to watch.

Wang Tiqian bowed down and agreed, but did not do it immediately, and continued to wait for the emperor's orders.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while, and asked, "Will you put lucky things when you eat dumplings, Wang Ban told me to hear about it." ”

In the palace of the Ming Dynasty, the New Year is usually on the first and fifth watches of the new year, burning incense and setting off fireworks, drinking pepper and cypress wine, and eating snacks, that is, dumplings.

There are also silver coins hidden in the dumplings, and the ones eaten are expected to be auspicious for a year. The emperor is naturally not so vulgar, and there are small bamboo plaques in the dumplings, and prizes are written on them.

For example, the bamboo plaque says "jade pendant", and if you eat it, you will take it to receive the prize, and the emperor will reward you with a jade pendant.

Hey, that's interesting.

Zhu Youxiao laughed and said, "Since this is the case, the three imperial sisters will also come." More prizes. Chinese New Year, a festive and lively picture. ”

Okay, what the emperor says is what it is!

Wang Tiqian smiled and received the order, and did not forget to compliment the emperor for taking care of his family.

The province of the province, the province that should not be the province, Zhu Youxiao has never been stingy.

The crackdown on the inferior gentry and students made another profit, and the official pension system was officially launched a year ago, and the year-end bonus was also issued to the hard-working and loyal courtiers. Among them, Wang Tiqian and Lao Wei and other fathers-in-law are also among them.

In fact, the emperor's reward is not more money than little money, but to show you that the saint has you in his heart, which is more important than anything else.

The fate of Wang Shi and other corrupt fathers-in-law was seen by Lao Wei and Lao Wang. There are also those corrupt officials who have had their homes raided, which really shows the joy and dislike of Banzai.

How much can you spend if you are greedy for gold and silver, once you are guilty, you don't even have your head, what's the use of asking for money?

There are pension centers on the outskirts of the city, pensions for retirement, money is enough to spend, and there are little eunuchs waiting.

As long as you do your errands honestly, you don't have to worry about the problems of life when you are old. This is much better than spending money to raise a godson, and I don't know if it's a white-eyed wolf.

This is all a blessing for Towansui, and you just have to do your best to repay it.

Well, I also want to pray for a long and healthy life, so that I can always cover myself. If you change the master, don't talk about changing the rules, can you still trust grace so much?

Wang Tiqian was ordered to retire, but Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand to stop him again, and said, "I want to go out of the palace for a walk, and Wang Companion will arrange it immediately." ”

"Emperor-" Wang Tiqian hesitated, but still did not dissuade, bowed down and said, "The slave will go and arrange it." ”

It's been a long time since I've had a "private visit to Weifu", every day in the palace, looking at those faces, Zhu Youxiao is a little panicked.

………………

Lu Jianxing has become a hundred, but he has gradually deviated from the original work of Jinyi Guard, and is about to become the emperor's personal guard.

Every day was about the end of the morning dynasty, Lu Jianxing rushed to Qianqingmen with a few brothers and waited in the special gatehouse.

Whether the emperor goes out or not, you have to be prepared and follow the rumors.

Therefore, Wang Tiqian arranged it very quickly. There was not much time, and the emperor and Li Chengcheng, dressed in civilian clothes, left the Qianqing Palace, got into the car, and quietly entered the streets of Beijing under the protection of several plainclothes guards.

Since the victory of Guangning, Liaodong has not been alerted for a long time, but there have been several messengers who have reported victory shouting and galloping through the streets.

Despite the distance of Liaodong, victory or defeat did not affect life much. However, the stability of people's hearts can still be reflected in many places.

And the New Year is approaching, whether it is the rich or the ordinary people, the gate is indispensable for new couplets, and it is indispensable to hang lanterns.

The shops are even brighter, and the boss and the guys are all smiling, receiving customers who come to patronize.
