The first year of Chongzhen.

April 16.

Morning.

Taihemen, Yang Reform ascended the throne.

Although Yang Reform does not like to go to the early dynasty like this, there are some things that cannot but be dealt with by the early dynasty. This is a place for monarchs and ministers to fight, without this place to go to the battlefield, there will definitely be more fun in other places, Yang Reform thought, this, to open up the second battlefield, you can't always fight with the ministers here, fight here, too much loss, there are too few people who have an iron heart with themselves, and they are "weak". It is a bit difficult to always overwhelm the ministers, and on the day of the coldness, the ministers gave themselves a demon moth, and they suffered heavy losses.

"Well, all of you Aiqing are flat, today, I want to listen to Aiqing sing a new song, I keep singing this song, I'm really tired of hearing it." As soon as Yang Reform came up, he had to torture the ministers.

The emperor's request made the ministers below extremely hot, this minister as an official, actually wants to make a person with those plays, and wants to perform and sing to the emperor every day, this, it is difficult to argue, who called the emperor to let everyone increase the righteousness in this chest and abdomen? At first, I didn't realize it, I fell for the emperor, and now I want to stop, but I can't convince the emperor, it's hot, and now the emperor wants to listen to a new song...... Shoufu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, I want the ministers of the DPRK and China to work hard for state affairs every day, I'm afraid I don't have time to practice singing." ”

"Hehe, no, no, no, I don't plan to let you sing today, today, I plan to let you listen to a few songs, if you think it's good, agree, it's not too late to sing, if it's not good, don't approve, I will never force you to sing a new song." Yang Gengai explained to the ministers with a smile. Bet with the ministers that the ministers will sing for themselves.

The ministers below also became interested when they heard it, they hated this singing and hated it so much that they were about to go crazy, and now they actually let them approve of singing, and some of these people were eager to try, ready to see what tricks the emperor played.

"Your Majesty, is that really the case? If I don't approve of it, doesn't that mean that I can stop singing in the future? Shousuke asked the emperor cautiously. Bet, then you have to explain the gambling money clearly, so as not to regret it later.

"How can this be, think that this singing is one of the poems and songs, this poetry and songs empower to cultivate people's feelings, exercise people's morality, increase people's cultivation, increase people's heroic spirit, and evolve people's hearts, how can you not sing? Could it be that you are so disgusted with poetry and songs? "Yang Reform is all nonsense, anyway, he wants to seize a few reasons and torture the ministers.

The ministers are helpless, this poetry and song can indeed cultivate people's feelings, but it is to listen to others sing, and it is okay to invite a few little girls to sing a few songs, but it is fun, but this is sung by yourself, just ...... It's hot.

"Hehe, rest assured, if you Aiqing agree, I will let people teach you Aiqing's new songs, if you Aiqing don't like it, don't approve, then forget it, I am not strong, I really didn't expect that all Aiqing are unwilling to use poetry and song to cultivate their feelings and improve their morality......" Yang Reform looked distressed.

Ministers: "......" had nothing to say, and it was even hotter when he was squeezed by the emperor.

Yang Gengai turned his head and said, "Big companion, let's start." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen responded to Yang Reform's order, turned his head and ordered a little eunuch to go. After a while, singing began to sound outside the temple.

"My home is on the Liao River in the northeast,...... There are also soybean sorghum all over the mountain.

My home is on the Liao River in the northeast,...... And the aging daddy.

"Daddy", "Daddy", wandering! Stray!

The whole price is in the gate, wandering!

What year, what month, will I be able to return to my lovely hometown?

When will we be able to come together? ”

When the first time they sang it, many ministers still didn't understand the words, and by the second time, some people already understood, or their faces were ugly, or their eyes were puzzled.

By the end of the third pass. The hall was very quiet, and everyone didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd, so why did they sing this Liaodong tune? Could it be that you want to turn over this old thing in Liaodong? Liquidation Liability? Has not this king's servant been deposed? Why did you bring it up again? Could it be that you want to overturn the case for that Xiong barbarian, Xiong Tingbi? In everyone's hearts, they suddenly began to speculate randomly.

They knew that the emperor asked them to sing, just because they had eaten too much and were in a panic, making fun of these ministers and making them poor.

"How's the song?" Yang asked Gengai.

A minister came out and played: "Your Majesty, this song is indeed sung in an extremely sad and sad way, and the listeners are in tears!" The minister was moved, his heart was like a knife, and he only hated that he couldn't hold the Qingfeng sword in his hand and punish all the people of Liaodong to comfort the people of Liaodong......" The minister said with tears in his eyes, his expression was sad, and he also infected other ministers, and other ministers also came out to say that this is a tear-jerking song.

"That means that you Aiqing agree that this song is a good song?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the court is a place to discuss state affairs, and it needs to be solemn and serious, how can you sing these sad and sad lamentations? Isn't that child's play? How is the state going on? One minister objected.

Yang Reform did not show weakness, and glanced at his own saint warrior Liu Jishan, Liu Jishan immediately understood, stood up, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that above the court, it is necessary to sing this song, it is precisely because this song is extremely miserable and desolate, so it is more important for the princes of the court to know the sorrow and misery of the people, and to know how the people suffer, so that the princes of the court and the central government will always keep the people in their hearts and deal with state affairs, and when they deal with state affairs, they will focus on the people everywhere and the court everywhere." ”

Liu Jishan is not a good person, as soon as he came up, he hit the nail on the head, and said that this singing became a major matter related to the country, and the following group of ministers were so angry that they were about to go crazy. However, Liu Jishan's reason is very open, and he doesn't know where to refute it for a while.

A minister was mad by Liu Jishan, stood up, and said wildly: "Liu Jishan, you villain, don't say the right thing, bewitch the saint, slip your beard and pat the horse, play frolicking on the court, delay the military affairs, mislead the country and the people, can you afford to bear the sin?" In the future, people in the world are afraid that they will pick your skin......" This minister went crazy and actually used foul language in the court.

Yang Reform hasn't heard others swear for a long time, this is the emperor, all he hears is gentle and elegant Sven words, this almost forgot what swear words look like, today I heard this minister swearing, I think, it's very "kind". However, his face was not kind, and he said with a cold face: "Debate is debate, why are you talking so wildly, do you still have me in your eyes?" Someone! Fork it out for me. ”

The guards on the left and right did not hesitate, set up this guy who spoke wildly and dragged him out of the hall, this guy remembered what he said, begged for mercy loudly, and no one from the ministers came out to intercede, this person, the emperor just forked out, it was already light enough, if he begged for mercy, the emperor was angry, and the result was even worse.

"Everybody, take it." The hall was quiet, Yang Reform gave an order, and continued to do things.

An old minister standing in the front row stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this song is too sad and should not be sung in this solemn and sacred place, but it can be arranged to be sung in other places, so that you can also receive a reminder that the people in the court and the people are still suffering, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks?" ”

The old minister proposed a compromise plan, this song is "good", which can make the ministers of the court always remember the suffering of the people, but it is not sung above this early court. Both sides take a step back.

As soon as the minister's words were finished, other ministers immediately followed suit and said that they could use this compromise plan. This plan is good. At least you don't have to sing it in this early pilgrimage.

Yang Gai said with a smile: "Hehe, you Aiqing, let's not talk about this for the time being, let's listen to another song." ”

Wang Chengen immediately instructed the little eunuch again, and after a while, another song was sung outside the hall.

This song is "My Motherland" adapted by Yang Reform, and it is now called "My Hometown".

It was also three times, listening to this song, the ministers' expressions were much calmer, and many people hummed softly along with the beat.

After singing, Yang Gengai asked, "How is this song?" ”

A minister came out and played: "Back to Your Majesty, this song is peaceful, warm and natural, reminiscent of the beauty of this hometown, listening to the meaning of this song, is it also related to Liaodong?" ”

"What this Aiqing said is true, these two songs are sung by my 'choir', these days ago, I sent to the Dongjiang River to go to a labor army's 'choir', singing these songs, yesterday, I got a return, saying yes, these two songs, sung on the two islands of the Dongjiang River, at that time the listeners all cried, tens of thousands of people cried together, the scene was moving! The old people of Liaodong on the Dongjiang Islands, all the soldiers and soldiers, after listening to the song, all shouted to fight back to Liaodong, and swore not to stand with the Dongyu, and fought to the end, I thought about it, these two songs can greatly boost the people's hearts and boost the morale of the army, and they must be good songs, so I am ready to let everyone in the court listen to it, learn from it, feel the mood of the Dongjiang fathers, the suffering of the people of Dongjiang, and encourage everyone in the court to never forget to regain their stomachs and lose ground, so as to comfort the Dongjiang fathers and elders who are suffering. ”

Yang reformed his affectionate words, and the ministers understood what was going on, it turned out that the emperor had already sent people to the Dongjiang River to work the army, and actually used two songs to achieve such good results, no wonder he wanted to show off in this court, this emperor is still a child, with good things, he wants to show off before he stops! Some old ministers shook their heads and laughed in their hearts for a while.

The ministers understood what the emperor meant, and they also came out one after another: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is really the Holy Monarch of the Ming Lord, the talent of the heavens, two songs can be worth tens of thousands of troops, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming ......"

"Your Majesty is wise......"

"Your Majesty is ...... talented"

A group of ministers took turns to come up and pat themselves on the back.

Yang Reform is very happy, his own layout, finally see the effect, did not waste his own thoughts, and what is even more gratifying is that after Mao Wenlong saw the effect of his choir singing, he finally made up his mind and reported to himself, saying that this island could not raise such many people, and asked His Majesty to take the people who could not afford the island to the land, the military on this island was absolutely arranged in accordance with the emperor's will, and there would never be another recruit one more soldier, and one more soldier would be concealed.

Its true meaning is to surrender to the emperor. After Mao Wenlong saw the emperor's methods, he felt that the emperor was still a little reliable, he spent money generously, reliable, and he was also very knowledgeable in military affairs, and the layout was also good, and it would win people's hearts.

Yang Gengai knew that he Mao Wenlong always had to rely on the Ming Dynasty, and he still valued and relied on the emperor and the Ming Dynasty in his heart, and it was impossible to take refuge in the wild boar skin, so as soon as he stretched out an olive branch, Mao Wenlong immediately caught it and proved his loyalty to himself.

Of course, the soldiers and civilians on the relocation island in the secret report, there is no need to discuss this matter with the courtiers, he has already expressed his position, and he will be responsible for the military salary of the Dongjiang River, and the soldiers under the Dongjiang River are naturally responsible for the emperor, all of which are the emperor's business, and there is no need to discuss with the ministers.

Yang reformed the two songs to "settle" Mao Wenlong, so he naturally wanted to be happy and took them out to show off, so the ministers were offended.

...... "That means that all of you Aiqing are in favor of it?" Yang asked with a smile.

Ministers, look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say, I fell into the emperor's trap, just now I said that the emperor is Shengming, and I slapped the emperor's sycophants, and now I want to say another disapproval, and I can't say it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, are you willing to feel the misery of the people of Dongjiang in the previous song, or are you willing to sing the warmth of your hometown in the latter song? I don't embarrass you, as long as you choose a song to sing, let me and other monarchs and ministers remember every time, there is still a territory in the world that has not been recovered, and there are still miserable people in the world waiting for me to appease and rescue ......"

"Your Majesty, I'm waiting to choose the second one...... a minister who couldn't wait jumped out and chose the second one. This second song is obviously much stronger than the first one, listening to that kind of mourning every day, you will die!

"Hehe, since the second song has been chosen, then so be it, after the future, early dynasty, use this song to inspire you Aiqing." Yang Gai smiled, very proud, this group of ministers, it's not that there is no way to deal with it, and it's not that there is no way to play between applause!

…… The opening is over. Yang won the round.

Let's get down to business.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to play." The business began, and the courtiers also hurriedly reported the accumulated things to the emperor.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to posthumously follow the late Zuodu Yushi Zou Yuanbiao, Gao Panlong, Zuo Deputy Yushi Yang Lian, Zuo Yushi Zuo Guangdou ......" The minister read the names and positions of more than a dozen people in one breath.

Yang Reform didn't understand it at first, just as an ordinary personnel pension, this kind of thing, Yang Reform has encountered a few cases, some retired, some old ministers died, these, will give some pensions. But this time, obviously, it's a little special. When he heard Zuo Guangdou, Yang Reform immediately understood.

Isn't this Zuo Guangdou the one who was killed by the Donglin Party? It seems that he wants to settle the Wei case in a hurry! This guy seems to want to give an explanation or something. Or is the Donglin Party ready to ask for power from itself?

Yang Reform thought for a while and said, "Yes." "This matter is always to overturn the case for the Donglin Party, I have no reason not to overturn the case for them, this Wei Zhongxian has fallen, and the people who have no reason to be persecuted by him are still wronged, this Donglin Party began to demand power in the court, and began to dominate the court, according to history, it should start from this time.

Yang Gai thought about it, this matter should be a signal from the Donglin Party, they want to be in the court, take power. You'll have to be on your guard! In view of the fact that the "historical achievements" of the Donglin Party are too bad, Yang Reform has made preparations as much as possible, for example, the Wei case was lightly dealt with, and many of the ministers in the court were still old ministers in the Wei Zhongxian period, in order to delay the rise of the Donglin Party, balance the court, leave some time for himself, encircle a group of his own descendants, cultivate his own core figures, and avoid being hollowed out by the Donglin Party.

Seeing that the emperor was very neat, he was "approved", and many ministers below breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. Decided, it is still possible to cooperate and praise the emperor, after all, this emperor is interesting enough.

The battle of wits and strength with the Donglin Party, in fact, has just begun.

The depressing incident soon passed.

After a while, an old minister came out and played: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan to alleviate the drought, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

Yang Reform also wondered, what kind of high-tech could not be achieved in this Ming Dynasty? And alleviate drought? This is a problem that cannot be solved in the 21st century! In later generations, the most I could do was to help the losses caused by drought, and I didn't hear that drought could be avoided. At most, it's a few anti-aircraft guns that shoot rain. Could it be that there were aliens in the Ming Dynasty? The technological presence of Zenith?

"This Qing family, what is the countermeasure, just say." Yang Gengai really wants to see what magic weapon this minister has.

"Back to Your Majesty, this strategy is also simple, to alleviate the drought, why doesn't Your Majesty order Zhang Xianyong, a real person, to ask for rain? Thinking that Zhang Xianyong, a real person, is a real person ordered by the imperial court, and he is ordered to ask for rain, and he will definitely be able to rain rain and alleviate the drought! The old minister said seriously.

Yang Gengai almost burst out laughing, damn it, you asked me to ask for rain in drought, isn't this? Superstition, pure superstition, the ministers in the court all believe in superstition, it seems that the ancient superstition market is still quite large, so it seems that the means of these ministers to deal with the government are sometimes not very reliable.

Yang Gai laughed in his stomach for a long time, couldn't help but laugh, and after a while, he stopped and said, "This Aiqing, do you say it's useful?" Yang Gengai thought to himself in his heart, this superstition is reliable, and the sow can go up the tree! It seems that it is necessary for me to fight a dozen feudal superstitions in this Ming Dynasty, well, wait for that, don't fight feudalism, I am the feudal leader, I can fight superstition, so that the four modernizations are early in the reality of this Ming Dynasty ¥#@&...... The old minister said: "Back to Your Majesty, I think that this Zhengyi real person Zhang Xianyong is the fifty-first generation of Heavenly Master, and he is sealed by the imperial court, how can it be useless?" ”

Belch! What this old minister said is quite profound, and the court can ask for rain? Then I will seal him one or twenty, each of them will be stationed in a county, and I will go to Shaanxi every day to ask for rain, and the peasant rebellion at the end of the Ming Dynasty will not exist? Isn't that? The fifty-first generation of Heavenly Masters can ask for rain? Alleviating drought? Which is the rule? This is not a fantasy plane, nor is it a cultivation plane, there is such a thing, don't fool me. I am a new socialist youth born in New China and raised under the red flag, and I am the least superstitious. Wait, there seems to be something else in his words...... Yang Reform didn't understand it for a while.

(To be continued)
