It was still dark early the next morning, so Yunxi woke up naturally after a full rest.
He stretched his waist and planned to ask his servants to help him get dressed, but then he suddenly felt as if his leg had touched something.
Yunxi suddenly became alert: Why is there something suddenly on my bed? Who put it there? What does this person want to do? Since I am still alive, I must not be an assassin, so what on earth is going on? In an instant
Countless thoughts have passed through Yun He's mind.
Yunxi's hands were not idle either, he groped there gently and at the same time shook the bell beside the bed.
Yun He groped, 'Well, this feels like a human arm, but why is it so short? This feels like a foot, but why is it so small? Why does this feel like a child's head?'
'Could it be so?' Yunxi opened the quilt and saw a small little person curled up on the bed, sleeping soundly. His arms and legs moved from time to time, as if he was disturbed by Yunxi's groping.
of her sleep.
Yunxi, dumbfounded, raised his head and asked Wang Xi, who had just walked in: "What's going on? Why is Min'er here?"
Wang Xi also replied with some confusion: "Your Majesty, not long after Your Majesty lay down alone to rest last night, the eldest princess came over and said that she wanted to sleep with Your Majesty. The servant even asked Your Majesty if he would let the eldest princess in."
At this time, Yunxi remembered that someone seemed to have said something to him while he was half asleep and half awake last night, and he seemed to have answered casually.
So, is this an omission on my part? An omission caused by answering casually while half asleep and half awake? 'Then should I tell Wang Xi not to disturb him after he goes to bed? But Wang Xi is also a measured person, and I'm afraid he won't do it if he is not his own child.
I'll come in and ask,' Yunxi thought.
After thinking about it, Yunxi still said: "After I go to bed from now on, unless it is a rebellion, the defeat of the army, or the vassal country asking for help, you are not allowed to disturb me anymore."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Xi replied.
Yunxi then shook Min'er, who was half asleep and said, "Well, Aunt Ji, let me sleep a little longer."
Yunxi signaled the eunuch to bring over a basin of cold water. He washed his hands in warm water first, then soaked them in cold water, and then wiped Min'er's face with lightning speed.
Min'er immediately shouted: "Who is so bold? Pull him down and beat him!"
Yun He smiled and said: "What, you want to drag daddy down to fight?"
Min'er heard Yunxi's voice and took a closer look. When she saw that it was her father who was so bold, she immediately pouted and said, "Dad, you are teasing your daughter again."
Yunxi asked Ji Ning, the female officer who was serving Min'er, to hand Min'er's clothes to him, and then under Ji Ning's guidance, he awkwardly dressed Min'er. While dressing, he said: "Why did you come here to rest with dad last night?"
?”
Min'er said: "What's the reason? Oh, by the way, when I returned to the dormitory yesterday afternoon, I heard two palace maids, probably a pair of sisters, talking to each other about how they were held in the arms of their parents to rest when they were children.
thing."
"My daughter just thought that since she can remember, her father has never held her in his arms at night to rest, so she came here."
Although Min'er didn't seem to have any emotion when she spoke, Yunxi suddenly felt a little guilty. Maybe all the royal children grew up like this, with almost no care from their fathers and only care from their mothers. Some may not even have care from their mothers.
nothing.
Of course Yunxi would not like this situation. Even for the so-called Tian family, he wanted to have some family affection. After he had children, he tried his best to care for them, especially his daughter, because it did not involve the inheritance of the throne.
He always thought that he cared a lot about his only daughter, but today he discovered that he didn't care enough.
Yun He then carefully dressed Min'er and didn't stop until she looked the same as what he saw every day.
After that, Yunxi carried Min'er to the dining hall for breakfast, and uncharacteristically fed Min'er, which surprised all the eunuchs and maids.
But the price was that he didn't have enough time to eat afterwards. After feeding Min'er, he hurriedly drank a bowl of porridge and ran to Fengtian Hall with two eggs. Then he ate while walking, and when he got behind the throne, he ate all the eggs.
Swallow it.
And it wasn't until Yunxi sat on the throne that he remembered that he could actually sit and walk over here, and it wouldn't be any slower than running over by himself. He could also eat eggs on the walk without having to be in such a hurry. 'Ma Dan, you're an idiot.'
Yunxi thought.
Today is the first morning meeting after the new year. Of course, everyone first congratulated the emperor. After that, normally, everyone said some mild words and dragged them to the morning meeting. Although it was already a day to go to work.
, but many people are still immersed in the holiday atmosphere, and everyone has to wait until the eighteenth day of the first lunar month to resume work.
However, this year's morning meeting was a little different. Li Ren, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, came out and said: "Your Majesty, yesterday the Ministry of Revenue received a memorial from Si Yamen, the Chief Envoy of Shandong Province, saying that several people died in Shandong Province because of the Luxie Rebellion.
With a population of 100,000, please Your Majesty to relocate the population from other places to Shandong."
Although the Luxie Rebellion only lasted for less than half a year, fifty or sixty thousand soldiers were killed or injured in the war, including rebel soldiers. Zhangqiu County was massacred, with tens of thousands of people dead, and Qingzhou siege caused many deaths.
Tens of thousands, three battles of Jinan, hundreds of thousands of deaths, plus continuous casualties, Shandong, with a total population of only more than 5 million, lost nearly one-tenth.
This was because the war did not last long, and neither the rebels nor the counter-rebels experienced food shortages or plagues. After an actual experience, Yunxi finally understood why the total population from the late Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms was reduced from 50 million to less than 50 million.
Ten million.
Yunxi said: "A total of 100,000 households were transferred from Changzhou Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, Ningguo Prefecture, Guangzhou Prefecture in Zhili, and Huzhou Prefecture, Jiaxing Prefecture, Hangzhou Prefecture, and Shaoxing Prefecture in Caojiang River and moved north to the prefectures in Shandong Province.
.”
"The above seven prefectures and one prefecture must complete the transfer of the population to Shandong before April this year, no, not before March. Yamen at all levels in Shandong must also be prepared to receive the people in advance and prepare enough seeds in advance.
Farm tools, cattle, and houses where people have died should be washed with water."
This is of course unfair to these people who are forced to immigrate; but for the country, it is necessary. There are too many people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and too few people in the north, which can easily cause various problems.
If it weren't for the large-scale immigration to other countries, it would probably arouse opposition from the ministers, and the people would be more likely to cause trouble. Those places that are still in a primitive state are not capable of receiving a large number of immigrants at once. He plans to immigrate to Luzon and other places.
The ministers did not respond much. This was also the practice of all dynasties. Zhu Yuanzhang moved the population many times after the founding of the country, so it is not surprising.
It’s just that, ‘This time it is Jiangsu and Zhejiang that are suffering. In addition to the large number of people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there may be other reasons.’ Some people think so.
However, no one in the court would complain about Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Although Yunxi did not imprison all Jiangsu and Zhejiang officials in the capital, all the officials from Jiangsu and Zhejiang who were qualified to participate in the court meeting were wiped out. How could officials from other places sacrifice themselves for others.
After saying this, there were no other important matters in today's court meeting. Yunxi had no intention of saying anything on the first day of court, and his mind was not on work, so he asked the waiter to announce the next court meeting.
Returning to the Qianqing Palace, there were almost no memorials to deal with today. After Yunxi finished answering all the few memorials, he had nothing to do. After thinking about it, he took out the Wu Yuchao that Luo Guanzhong had sent to the palace yesterday. I started reading the version of "The Heroes of the Ming Dynasty".
As a patient with severe addiction, although the book "The Heroes of the Ming Dynasty" was not particularly well written, Yunxi was still addicted to it and started to enjoy it. The fourth assistant officer sitting not far away thought that Yunxi was watching. No one bothered me when reading the history books. It was not until noon that Wang Xi bravely came over and said, "Your Majesty, it's already noon."
"Oh, it's already noon?" Yunxi raised his head: "Does time fly by so fast?"
Yunxi stretched and planned to have dinner with the fourth assistant officers as usual, but suddenly remembered something and ordered the eunuch in charge of Qianqing Palace to prepare meals for the fourth assistant officers, while he turned around and left the Qianqing Palace.
Yunxi walked for a while and came to another palace. He walked into one of the rooms with familiarity and asked the eunuch who was guarding the door not to speak. He wanted to give the people in the room a surprise, but he was discovered as soon as he entered the door. .
"Sister, daddy." Wenyuan pointed at Yunxi and said to Miner and Siqi. After the New Year, Wenyuan was also sent to enlightenment by Xiyao.
Yunxi could only walk in like this, patted Wenyuan's little head and said with a smile: "Why do you keep looking at the door? Is there anything at the door?"
Yunxi just said it casually, but he didn't expect to get an answer. "Dad, our lunch hasn't come yet. Yuan'er is keeping an eye on when lunch will come, so she's staring at the door." Min'er explained.
Yunxi patted Min'er again: "You're the only one who talks too much!"
Min'er smiled and said, "Dad, why are you here today?"
Yunxi said: "It's nothing, I was just casually strolling around the palace today. I happened to be here at this time, so I came in to have a meal."
Yunxi actually felt that he had too little time to spend with his children because of what happened this morning, so he came over to have dinner with them. But how could he be embarrassed to say such things in front of his children, let alone there was an outsider next to him.
"Your Majesty, Luan Wei, pays homage to His Majesty." Luan Wei finally found an opportunity to pay homage.
"No need to be polite." Yunxi nodded without any intention of talking to him.
Luan Wei actually wanted to talk to Yun Hei, but when he saw Yun Hei's expression, he didn't dare to approach him and could only retreat.
After a while, everyone's meals and the food prepared for Wenyuan were delivered. Yunxi put down the book in his hand and started to eat.
