Xia Yuan didn't know why he was thinking of this. He looked at the heavy snow outside the window, then turned back to look at the person in front of him.

At this moment, this person was also looking at him, his slightly cloudy eyes were full of expectation, but then they turned into confusion, confusion, and a little panic.

"Ju Zheng, what are you doing?"

The tone was hesitant and confusing.

Xia Yuan came to his senses quickly and said nonsense: "I'm sorry, I was distracted. Your Majesty has been tired of waiting for a long time. I was just thinking about the future of our Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Hongzhi looked stern and respectful. He is worthy of being my valued future minister. He is young and devotes his attention to the country, the country, and the country anytime and anywhere.

"Why did Juzheng think about the future of the Ming Dynasty to the point of crying?"

"I was moved by my noble feelings of caring about the country and the people."

Xia Yuan made an excuse, and then rubbed his eyes with his hands. He felt sad in his nose and heart. Why was he sad?

Maybe he felt sorry for the emperor.

But is it too pretentious to feel sorry for the emperor who reigns over the world?

Empress Zhang next to her smiled and said to her daughter: "Xiu Rong, you said your husband is so interesting. According to my mother, he must have made you happy on weekdays."

Yes, yes, I'm so happy that we can also compete in ventriloquism together.

Xia Yuan ignored the mother and daughter, but looked at Emperor Hongzhi and said: "Your Majesty, I always like to read medical books and never let go of the scrolls. Your Majesty is also aware of this. According to my observation, your Majesty is not in good health now. He must have a lot of bones."

Pay attention to rest."

Zhu Youtang frowned at first, and after hearing these words, he relaxed his eyebrows, and finally smiled, "I heard that you were fond of reading medical books, and you couldn't let go of the scrolls. I thought you were going to be treasonous and say that I have

Brain retardation."

"That's not possible. Even if I say that I have a brain defect, I dare not say that Your Majesty does." After saying this, Xia Yuan's expression became serious, "But Your Majesty should pay more attention to rest."

Faced with the concern and seriousness on his face, Zhu Youtang was speechless for a moment, then lowered his eyelids and whispered: "I don't want to rest more, but the state affairs are so complicated, how can I dare to be stable?"

Having said this, he turned to look out the window to see Ruixue outside the window.

Queen Zhang, who was sitting next to him, looked at his gray hair, pouted her lips and wanted to say something, but stopped, and finally lowered her head to do her embroidery work.

"Your Majesty will be able to have a good rest next year. Next year will be a good year. I have seen the celestial phenomena and there will be no major disasters."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi's face suddenly turned back, "Seriously?"

"really!"

Xia Yuan's tone was extremely firm. As for why he was so firm, it might be because he had confidence in the historical records, but more likely, he just wanted to relax the emperor who had been worried for half his life.

"I'm not boasting. In today's world, in terms of the art of public opinion, I say it's second, but no one dares to say it's first. I watch the sky at night, and next year will definitely be a good year. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, I'll take it."

He wanted to use his head as a guarantee, but he felt that he couldn't use his own. What if the historical records were not accurate? He looked around the palace, including the emperor, empress, prince, and wife.

It doesn’t seem to fit anyone.

Finally, he looked at Xiao Jing who was guarding the door of Nuan Pavilion, pointed with his finger, and said to Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, I have always respected Eunuch Xiao as a person. I will use Eunuch Xiao's head to guarantee that next year I will be in the Ming Dynasty.

.”

Hearing this, Xiao Jing was so frightened, "Will you use our head as a guarantee?"

"Ang, this junior respects Eunuch Xiao's character the most. Taking someone else's does not seem sincere enough."

"."

Looking at Xia Yuan's serious expression, Xiao Jing's lips twitched for a long time, and he didn't know how to answer the question. He felt as if ten thousand grass and mud horses were galloping past.

Xia Xima, Master Xia, I remember I haven’t offended you, right?

If you want to guarantee it, guarantee it, but why don't you use your own head?

Doesn’t this seem more sincere?

Fortunately, at this time, Emperor Hongzhi opened his mouth to resolve the situation, "You don't need any human heads as guarantees, and I don't need this either. I have always trusted Juzheng's ability to control people."

After saying that, he paused for a few times and then asked: "Is next year really going to be a good year without natural or man-made disasters?"

Zhu Youtang's eyes were filled with hope and caution.

The collapse of the underground palace, the mysterious dragon veins in the mountains, and the collapse of the earth in Puzhou. On the day of the collapse, the son-in-law said personally that the collapse should be in the Central Plains, and what kind of air currents were there.

One thing after another, after what happened again and again, he could only believe that this son-in-law had the skill of kanyu. Although it was different from ordinary kanyu, it was extremely accurate.

Maybe he can really deduce some things through celestial phenomena and mountains and rivers.

But when I heard this saying, next year will be a good year without any natural or man-made disasters.

Zhu Youtang couldn't believe it. In the more than ten years since he took the throne, there had never been a year without natural or man-made disasters.

He often thinks that instead of seeking stability for three to five years, it would be better to only have stability for one year.

Now the year of peace he had been looking forward to seemed to be coming, but he couldn't believe it anymore, so he could only pray cautiously like this.

"Your Majesty, it's not that there are no natural or man-made disasters, it's that there are no catastrophes. There are no such catastrophes as landslides, floods, severe droughts, locust plagues, and large-scale rebellions.

But it’s hard to tell for small disasters that have little impact and are not serious. Moreover, if a few unruly people suddenly get out of their minds and shout that King Chen Sheng and Da Chuxing are going to rebel, is this also considered a man-made disaster? Eunuch Xiao’s head will be destroyed by then.

.”

Speaking of this, Xia Yuan remembered that he didn't need to use his head to guarantee it, so he stopped at the right time, so as to avoid the old eunuch looking at him with the eyes of a concubine and resentful woman, which would be strange.

After listening to these words, Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were already bright. If Xia Yuan insisted that there was no disaster at all, he would never believe it.

But if he just said that there would be no major disasters or minor disasters like he was saying now, he would be a little bit convinced.

In this era, those hexagram masters who know astronomy and geography well, or in other words, their knowledge of half-immortals, are able to predict the general trend of the world, but they are rarely able to get a glimpse of it.

So next year maybe I can really have some peace and quiet for a while.

Thinking like this, Emperor Hongzhi laughed happily, as if the depression accumulated in his chest for many years had been wiped away, "I would like to express my sincerity, I only hope that next year I will be safe and stable, and there will be no major disasters!

"

At this moment, the door of Kunning Palace was pushed open. Xiao Jing, who was standing at the door of Nuan Pavilion, seemed to have seen someone and bowed out. After a moment, Xiao Jing seemed to be frightened again and shouted: "What?

!”

His voice was already sharp, not to mention that there was only a wall between him, but Emperor Hongzhi had a smile on his face, and he felt indescribably happy.

But when he heard the shouting, his heart sank, his face changed slightly, and he shouted outside: "Xiao Banban, what happened again?"

Hearing this, Xiao Jing had no choice but to leave his son behind, bowed into Nuan Pavilion, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Feng Ying Ku. Something happened."

How could Zhu Youtang not know what kind of place this Fengying Treasury was? It was one of the treasury of the Ming Dynasty.

Although he didn't have any money or food at the moment, it was still a top priority, so that he frowned deeper and asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"

"Today, hundreds of officials from the capital went to the Ministry of Finance to collect their salary arrears for the past few months. When they learned that the salary was paid out in the form of pepper, spices and silver, the crowd became furious. They shouted that the Qing emperor was sidelining him, punishing the sycophants, and threatening to beat the Ministry of Finance to death.

of"

At this point, the cold dead dog slumped on the soft bed suddenly woke up from his sleep, and then he sat up in a dying illness, "Who wants to beat whom to death?"
