Fortune Orb [Qing]

With both money and people's efforts, the response plan is also being perfected. The bad situation quickly improved, because the heavy snow was still falling, and the disaster situation was still not optimistic. Even if the court tried its best to rescue... the number of frozen deaths still rose to a terrible level This made Emperor Kangxi questioned.

The Ganshan earthquake that year seemed to sound the horn of tragedy. Although the subsequent drought and epidemic had good results, the impact was real. Coupled with the snow disaster, it made people wonder if the emperor's virtue was at fault. Make God punish you.

Thinking about it this way, I also feel that it does not make sense. If it is really the fault of the royal family, how come the rain comes during the drought, and the disease is cured when the disease spreads?God is giving Aixinjueluo family too much face.

The common people can't figure it out, and they don't have the energy to figure it out carefully. All they can do is go to the gate of the yamen, ask the parents and officials to convey the public opinion, and ask the emperor to open an altar to pray for the people.

An urgent memorial was sent to the capital. Kangxi felt a headache more and more as he looked at it. He felt his conscience and said that he wanted to perform a ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven more than anyone else. He asked the old Jiu Fucha how he was, and that boy had a serious expression on his face. Suspicious, not saying good or bad, just looked over with a face full of defense, Kangxi was so angry that he directly told the truth, saying that if she is in good condition, why not go to the temple again...

Before he finished speaking, Yinzhen gave an answer, this time it won't work, nothing will work.

Kangxi still wanted to persuade him, so he complained about his hardships, saying that Baozhu was the most cold-resistant person he had ever met. In previous winters, she seldom went out, let alone this year.Look at the snow, it has been falling continuously for half a month, and the officers and soldiers are exhausted trying to clear a road on the street. Yinzhen refuses to let her go out in this weather, and has to go to the temple. Maybe there is any danger. I heard that those who have no food or firewood have already started smashing and looting. What if you encounter robbers on the way to the temple, what if the horse’s hoof or wheel slips, what if there is an avalanche? Whose are these?

She is extremely afraid of the cold is one, and she is pregnant at the moment is the second, when these two points are added together, being a husband-in-law can put her in danger?

If the situation hadn't been so serious, Kangxi wouldn't have said that. He was silent for a while, and then said: "If you are afraid that she will be frozen, you can transform the carriage. Be careful and bring more guards to avoid accidents on the road. This time you Fujin has to go, otherwise when will this heavy snow fall?"

Yinzhen didn't even care that this was in the South Study Room, he paced back and forth in front of the imperial court, his face full of irritability.

"Then what if...?"

"In the worst case, you, Fujin, slipped this tire, but you can save tens of thousands of lives. The whole north of the Yellow River is suffering from snow disasters. I don't know how many people will die in one more day." Kangxi added , "This is just the worst case scenario. Even if you get to this point, you can still be reborn, but the dead people can't come back to life. Think about it, Lao Jiu, how important is this risk compared to the people of Limin?"

It sounds so good, isn't it also for the purpose of stabilizing the rule, Yinzhen really wants to say, what do the common people in the world have to do with me?He also thought that if the situation really got worse, the family of Aixinjueluo would be in danger, and there would definitely be people who rebelled if they couldn't live on, and his family might be endangered at that time.

Whether it is public or private, it is better for this snow disaster to end as soon as possible, but Yinzhen really does not want to make this choice.

He grabbed the flashing things in his mind, and asked: "Then what if something happens, and God blames us, and thinks that we have harmed me, Fujin, and ordered the snow to fall more and more, what can we do?"

Yinzhen looked up at his father.

To be honest, Kangxi was a little confused.

He hadn't thought about this possibility, and he felt it made sense after hearing Lao Jiuyi's words.

Just as he was hesitating, the little bastard said again: "You don't know, Huang Ama. I didn't expect Fujin to have a second child so soon. I always took precautions. I'm afraid that there will be some bad things like Ah Yuan and the others in a short time." Son, just like that, she is still pregnant. Mr. Hu also said that this fetus is destined by God, and God let her have it. You are the king and the father. You must insist on letting me go to the temple to pray for blessings. I can't stop it, but you always If you think about it clearly, don't miss this possibility. The common people are already crying like this, if the snow is bigger, what will happen! That is the entire north of the Yellow River! It is the foundation of our Qing Dynasty!"

If it wasn't Yinzhen standing in front of him, Kangxi's inkstone would have been thrown in his face.

This bastard!

But he is also rough and reasonable, God treats Fucha as his own daughter, and his daughter has caused her in-laws to have a miscarriage, so it's not a mess?

What should we do now?

Is it to obey the public opinion and pray for blessings?

Or use conventional means to deal with the disaster?

Kangxi's head was about to burst, he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he waved Yinzhen to leave, and he was going to call him into the palace after thinking clearly.Yinzhen still had a heavy face in the hall, turned around and walked over the threshold to the eaves, then grinned——

It is said that ginger is still hot when it is old, but according to him, chili is still hot when it is young!

Look, isn't this solved?

Taking retreat as an advance is a coup, the ancients never deceived me!

It's very cool to play against the old man and win in the end, so it's just a little bit of fun, seeing the snow all over the sky, Yinzhen's heart is also very heavy.The problems of the people are not just cold and hunger. The heavy snow has collapsed many houses and cut off the rations of wild beasts in the mountains. Many villages built on the mountain have been attacked, such as wolves and wild boars, which cannot be found in the mountains. When it is time to eat, they come down the mountain one after another. How can ordinary people resist it?Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't be able to handle a hungry beast, let alone his hands and feet were frozen, and there was still snow on the ground that got in the way.

Every day, the yamen can count a lot of deaths due to various reasons.

These aggregated figures shocked the imperial court, and made Kangxi and the other princes heartbroken.

The prosperity of the country mainly depends on the number of people, people are needed for farming, and people are needed for war... So many people died this winter, the imperial court was seriously injured.

It's not yet the New Year's Eve, there are still [-] days before the New Year's Eve, and it will be cold for a month or two after the New Year, so it's okay to let it go?

Yinzhen's mood is really complicated. If Baozhu was not pregnant, many things would be much easier. She happened to be pregnant. The imperial physician said that when a woman is pregnant, she should take care of her carefully. If it is too small, I am afraid it will leave a root cause for the mother.

Baozhu was Yinzhen's life, and he would not hesitate to let him choose between thousands of people and his daughter-in-law.

Yinzhen packed up his mood and prepared to return home, but was stopped by the prince on the way. Because of the same reason, the prince had heard about the abilities of his nine younger siblings from Kangxi earlier. Judging from the current situation, it is too late to rely on manpower to fight against natural disasters. It was difficult, even if it was over in the end, it would still be a miserable victory. He really hoped that this tragedy would be over soon, and he didn't want to wait a year and a half to take over from Huang Ama the Qing Dynasty that was riddled with holes.

Some words are not pleasant to say directly, the prince said implicitly: "Your second sister-in-law wants to invite the nine younger brothers and sisters to the temple."

"Then I can only say I'm sorry, let the sisters-in-law go with the princess, it's inconvenient for me, Fujin, to go out."

"Let the carriage go directly to your house to pick up people, and change the sedan chair when you get there, so you don't have to walk half a step, what's the inconvenience?"

"She's just conceived, and the baby is still unstable, what's the trouble?" Yinzhen glanced at the prince, "Is the princess so unpopular? Can't I find anyone to accompany me besides me, Fujin?"

In order to achieve his goal, Yinfeng nodded against his conscience, saying that this is the case, you are so right, Guarjiashi is too incapable of being a human being, and no one even accompanied her to the last temple.

Yinzhen smacked her lips in distaste: "Then take the servants and go by yourself? Otherwise, what's the big deal about asking a few sisters from your natal family?"

As he said that, he made an excuse to slip away, and after returning to the mansion, he quickly asked Zhao Baifu to lock the door, took a deep breath and went straight to the Baozhu courtyard.At this moment, Baozhu was drafting the list of New Year's ceremony, and when she heard the maid who opened the curtain announcing that the master was back, she wanted to get off the kang, and Yinzhen rushed a few steps immediately to help her sit back.

"I don't know how to cherish myself when I'm pregnant. You scare me."

As he said that, he remembered that he had just stayed in the ice and snow for a long time, so he quickly let go of her, took off the damp coat and handed it to the maid beside him, then took the hot towel that had just been wrung up, and wiped it. He covered his face and covered his hands, and only dared to touch the orb after covering the heat.

Seeing him so nervous, Baozhu also found it funny.

"I'm afraid of the cold, but it's not that serious. I feel much better since I got pregnant with this baby."

Yinzhen pinched the tip of her delicate and straight nose: "Who is shivering from the cold after taking a step out of the room? Not only do you have to put Mrs. Tang under the quilt at night, but you also have to lean on your grandfather's arms to fall asleep?"

Baozhu didn't feel embarrassed when he removed the stage neatly. Instead, she murmured that Mr. Hu said that after giving birth to this baby, she might not be afraid of the cold, so she just gritted her teeth and endured the next winter.She thought about it and said: "Not only is there a kang burning in the room, but also a charcoal basin. It's as warm as spring. It's quite comfortable to spend the winter like this."

Yinzhen sighed after hearing this: "I'm really glad that we were all born in wealthy families. It has been snowing heavily outside for half a month, and this winter is too cold."

Baozhu is a delicate girl through and through. Even if she usually reads some miscellaneous books, she is not about people's livelihood. She has no idea about many things, so she turned her head to look at Yinzhen: "Didn't it say that auspicious snow is a sign of a good year? When it snows, you can enjoy the red in the snow." Mei, you can enjoy the snow-covered sky, and you can also have a deer feast, isn't it good?"

Baozhu is very longing for the activities in snowy days, no matter who made her grow up so old, she has never participated in it.

Yinyu helped his forehead, so he had to explain that everything must be done in moderation, and excess is not enough.

Baozhu blinked, and she counted with her fingers: "It's only been half a month until today, and there's no snow in our yard yet."

Yinzhen had a bit of a headache: "Our house often has slaves sweeping snow, naturally it can't accumulate, and the street can accumulate a thick layer after half a day. If you continue to let it go, it will be difficult for a carriage to pass."

"You can take a sedan chair if you can't pass the carriage."

At this moment, Yinzhen wanted to ask: Are you serious, dear?

Fearing that he would be mad at himself, he didn't dare to get entangled in this point, and changed his words: "There was a disaster in the north of the Yellow River, and the houses of the people were collapsed by the snow. They were cold, hungry and homeless..."

Baozhu's instinctive reaction was: wear more clothes when it's cold, add a charcoal basin, and eat when hungry... Her intuition told her that speaking out might kill Tian'er, so she shut up.

There is nothing wrong with saying that a pregnant woman is stupid for three years. What is even more frightening is that the first three years have just passed, and now the second one has come again. She is so stupid that she is even more stupid than other pregnant women. It's like being frozen in ice and snow.

"Didn't we take the lead in donating money, why is it not enough for disaster relief?"

Yinzhen really didn't want to talk about such a heavy topic, but since Baozhu asked, he replied: "With the Yellow River as the boundary, the whole north has been hit by disasters. How can the little money donated be enough to save so many people?"

"Then what should we do, donate again?"

"Huang Ama wanted to open an altar to offer sacrifices to the heavens, and also wanted Erniang to bring all the female relatives to the temple to pray for blessings. Let's talk about it today, but I refused for you. If the sky falls, there will be a tall man to hold it up. This matter is of its own accord. People do it, you just take care of your childbirth and don’t let the Lord worry about it.”

It's boring to be so constrained all the time. Now Baozhu became interested and asked, "Is there anything I can do? Why don't we try our best and close the door to make an offering to the Bodhisattva. The last time I went to worship in the temple with my mother , after praying, it really shows its spirit, as long as we are sincere, it will work."

Yinzhen thought about it, and she really could try.

This did not violate his principles, and he did his best. As for whether it will be successful or not, it is up to fate, and the heavy responsibility of saving the common people cannot be entirely placed on Baozhu.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Yinzhen did not rush into the palace. He went to see Huang Ama the next day and told him about Baozhu's idea. The other party was really happy and said yes repeatedly.Yinzhen also said to let the old man keep an eye on the brothers, don't slack off, it's hard to say whether it will succeed or not.Can Kangxi not understand this truth?He waved his hand to tell him to go back and prepare, and he said that he would squeak any offerings he wanted.

According to Kangxi's wishes, he can put aside other matters for the time being, and the most important thing right now is to get this done well.

Yinzhen was so happy, he had long wanted to take a vacation for himself, because it was so cold in winter that he didn't let him sleep in.

With the full support of Ama, the most capable person in the world, Yinhu lived a comfortable life for a few days. Yinhu, who was also in the Ministry of Industry, learned that Lao Jiu was indulging herself in the mansion, so she signaled the people under him to secretly read a copy of him. There was nothing wrong with him, on the contrary, he found someone who could be used.

From Yinhu's point of view, the brothers are all desperately trying to find a way to survive the disaster, so Yinhu closes the door to be arrogant and extravagant, and Huang Ama punishes him, not even a reprimand!This is too eccentric!

Well, it doesn't matter if he doesn't care, as long as he behaves like this, he will definitely be a Baylor next spring. If he can be named the county king, it will be heaven.

Thinking about it this way, it is much easier to accept the fact that Lao Jiu is willing to degenerate.

That is to say, under all kinds of speculation, dissatisfaction, worry, panic and panic, the Jiubeile Mansion set up an altar to worship the Bodhisattva.

What Yinzhen meant was that the altar table was placed in their room, and the charcoal basin was still burning on the kang. Hearing her say that, Baozhu frowned, even if everything was simple, it would be too insincere, at least put it in the middle of the lake On the other side of the pavilion, the place is bright and atmospheric, which is very suitable for entertaining distinguished guests.

That's right, from Baozhu's point of view, making offerings to Bodhisattvas is the same as entertaining distinguished guests, except that the guests are of a higher class, the banquets are of a higher standard, and the process is more cumbersome.

Because of Baozhu's insistence, Yinzhen disagreed with her and she still lost her temper, holding her stomach and saying "you don't love me anymore", and tears fell down as she said that, but Yinzhen's heart ached... What else can I do, let's compromise.

The offerings were placed in the Octagonal Flying Immortals Pavilion, and Yinzhen took the orbs there after they were all set up. He was worried about this journey, and he walked with his heart all the way, lest she slipped if she didn't step on it firmly.

When she really walked out of the courtyard, Baozhu gave Yinzhen a suspicious look.

Why is this?

Because the snow outside is not big at all, what kind of goose feathers, it can only be called the level of flying catkins, and it has basically stopped before it gets close to the frozen lake.

Is this the so-called rare snow disaster?

Is it her cognition wrong, or the people outside have never seen the world?

Yinzhen felt that he had enlightened, and he understood.

This is really God's own daughter!

When she doesn't go out, the gods can spoil people. Once she crosses the threshold, nothing happens. Look, even the golden crow pokes its head out. Is the god of thieves still a human?This is too much!

Say it early!

What kind of Bodhisattva should be offered? How can it be necessary to offer Bodhisattva?

He should have written a note to Huang Ama, applying to suspend the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, and then he would be responsible for taking Fujin for a walk around the house, and nothing happened when he came out for a walk every day!

Thinking about it now, Yinzhen really felt sorry for the 10 taels of silver he donated, it was hard earned money, really blind!
