Text 153: Snow disaster

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The first month of the year is still cold and windy, silver-gray clouds are galloping in the sky, cold currents are rolling, and a heavy snow is brewing.

    Xia Xiang said beside Wen Wan: "Princess, it's starting to snow heavily outside again."

    Wen Wan was taking a nap on the bed, but after hearing this, she put on her coat and went to the window.  Looking outside, another group of snowflakes was falling.  Wen Wan sighed heavily, this was really bad.  The snow outside hasn't melted yet, it's snowing again, and it's still heavy snow.  This can easily lead to a snow disaster: "Let Xia Ying come over."

    Wen Wan said to Xia Ying: "Go and tell the emperor's uncle that this will cause a snow disaster. Let the emperor's uncle be mentally prepared." Just like this, it will definitely cause a snow disaster.

    Xia Ying left in response, and Wen Wan had already fallen asleep when he came back.  Xia Xiang asked the emperor what he meant.  Xia Ying whispered: "The emperor already knows." The emperor was also worried that it would cause a snow disaster.  But this is a natural disaster, and humans cannot stop it.  We can only prepare for disaster relief.

    When Wen Wan woke up in the morning, she saw that the glass was covered with Bingxiao flowers.  When I went out, I saw that the snow outside was thick again.  And there are still snowflakes falling from the sky!  Not only that, the ground was also covered with ice.  Not only is it inconvenient to travel, I think many people are sad.

    Sure enough, Wen Wan heard a lot of overturned carriages outside.  Many pedestrians fell down.  The road government sent people to clean it up.  But the speed of cleaning is really not good.  It is said that the hospitals are overcrowded.

    Wen Wan shook his head.  Regardless of whether it's modern or ancient times, as soon as the snow disaster breaks out, the most in-demand facilities are medical clinics.  It cannot be changed in the past or present.

    Mingjin saw so much snow in the yard that she wanted to build a snowman.  As soon as he walked into the yard, the hot air sprayed out from his mouth and nostrils condensed into layers of frost flowers, freezing around the leather hat. After a while, it was like a silver helmet on his head, which was red from the cold.  on the face.

    When Wen Wan saw this appearance, she dared not let him outside, so she quickly pulled him back.  Don't let him out.  Mingjin yelled: "Mom, I'm not cold, Mom, I'm really not cold. Just let me play for a while." The room was very hot, and Mingjin felt better after a while.  He also spoke with a strong voice, and he really didn't look like someone who was afraid of the cold.

    Wen Wan did not agree: "No, it's so cold outside now, what if you catch a cold? Be good, you know?"

    Although Mingjin is not reconciled.  But no more fuss.  Wenwan comforted Mingjin and immediately ordered people from the Charity Hall to assist the government and do their best to help those people who were poor and unable to survive the winter.  Fortunately, the charity hall has accumulated more supplies.

    Wenwan looked at the snow that was still falling.  Worrying: "This is bound to cause a disaster." Auspicious snow heralds a good year, but one must also be cautious.  I was still worried before, but according to the current situation, it will definitely lead to an ice disaster.

    Also worried is the emperor.  This Chinese New Year is a snowstorm, which is not only troublesome but also unlucky for him.

    The atmosphere in the princess's mansion is also a bit solemn, because Wen Wan frowns every day, worrying about the ice disaster.

    Mingjin also thinks it¡¯s too cold in the capital, and he wants to go to Zhuangzi.  At this time every year, he followed his mother to Zhuangzi: "Mother. When will we go to Zhuangzi?" Seeing Wen Wan's silence, Mingjin said carefully: "Mother, are you too busy?  Are you going? "My mother is so busy that she doesn't have time to accompany him.  This made Mingjin feel a little resentful.

    Wen Wan sighed slightly: "Well, I can't go this year. Mingjin, it's still snowing heavily outside, and more and more people are freezing to death. Mom can't go to the villa at this time." She is the leader of whatever happens at the Charity Hall.  .  Although people from Charity Hall have always had dedicated personnel to deal with it, she basically didn't show up.  But if you go to Zhuangzi to escape the cold now, it will be unkind.  Moreover, Wen Wan herself is also worried. This is still in the capital. With the help of the Charity Hall and the court, many people have died, but we still don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on outside?  Natural disasters are so ruthless!

    This heavy snowfall has always happened in ancient and modern times.  From the end of the twelfth lunar month to the beginning of February of the following year, it snowed heavily.  It stopped and continued on and off for more than a month.  The longest rain lasted three days and three nights.  It can be described as a snow disaster that is rare in a century.

    According to reports from various provinces, the number of people who froze to death has not yet been completely counted, but it is quite large. Countless houses have also collapsed, causing huge economic losses.  The court's support is needed.  These are a big burden for the court.  These are not the most important. The most important thing is to ensure that spring plowing is sown on time.  All the excerpts were requests from the imperial court to allocate funds for disaster relief.

    If this is the case as usual, although the emperor will be a little unhappy, he will just provide disaster relief.  But now, after receiving the discount from the province below, his face was ugly, even uglier than the weather outside.

    Some soldiers also froze to death in the border towns. Fortunately, the number was relatively small. Those who froze to death were basically old and frail people working in the logistics.Soldiers.  But what worries Bai Shinian is not the soldiers, but the horses.  This ice disaster has frozen many war horses to death so far.

    Bai Shinian and the other soldiers tried their best, but looking at the horses falling down one after another, there was sadness in the tiger's eyes.  In this damn snowstorm, these war horses had become treasures to them in just a few years, and they fell down like this. Needless to say, they felt sad.  The atmosphere in the military camp was also very solemn.

    After the heavy snow, the sun didn¡¯t want to come out and the weather was gloomy.  Even in such weather, Bai Shinian heard people reporting from below: "Marshal, there is a small group of Tatars looting our border town."

    Bai Shinian looked gloomy. It seemed that these Tatars had also suffered heavy losses, otherwise they would not have come to attack and plunder the border town at this time: "Let them never come back." This big battle is inevitable.  I just hope that the emperor's personal expedition will be this year.

    The emperor issued an imperial edict and dispatched imperial envoys to allocate funds for disaster relief. Fortunately, the treasury is now full, and the emperor's life is still very good.  Disaster relief is not a big problem.

    The emperor now has a gloomy face every day.  What the emperor is thinking about now is not the snow disaster, but the matter of his personal expedition.  This was a very bad sign for the emperor that something like this happened during his own expedition.  But the emperor was unwilling to give up. Everything was ready, so why should he give up just because of an ice disaster?  The emperor was unwilling.

    The emperor was gloomy for several days, and finally couldn't help but say: "Let Wen Wan come over." Wen Wan's opinions are often different from others.  The emperor hopes that Wen Wan can give him a different explanation (mainly because Wen Wan is not superstitious, even if he lives another life, he will not believe in those superstitions).

    Wen Wan saw that the emperor was worried about the personal expedition: "Uncle Emperor, since it is not suitable, then we will not go." It is not the same to win the battle with Bai Shinian, as long as the result is victorious.  Whatever you do, you have to do it yourself.

    The battle is actually about money and food.  Da Qi's treasury was full, and the emperor's private treasury was also rich.  There is also a new weapon, the fiery red cannon, which is incredibly powerful.  Wen Wan believes that there is no suspense about this battle at all.  How could the emperor give up?  Come to Wen Wan this time.  Nothing more than comforting him.

    Wen Wan complained endlessly in her heart. She was really asking for trouble, and she was also worried about me being implicated.  If the emperor didn't personally fight, how could Wen Wan send the child away?  But at this point, Wen Wan could only comfort the emperor: "Uncle Emperor, actually you don't have to worry too much. The Manchus are a nomadic people, and they rely on the sky for their livelihood, cattle, sheep and horses. We have suffered serious losses. They have suffered losses."  It¡¯s more serious. ¡°Once outsiders are affected, it will be fully covered and the foundation will be damaged.  It is completely different from the mainland.  Wen Wan remembers the ice disaster in China at that time. It was reported on TV that countless cattle and sheep were killed and injured in Inner Mongolia.  We still need to rely on central funding to tide over the difficulties.

    The situation in modern times is the same as here.  There must be more people freezing to death on the Manchu side than in the interior, and many cattle, sheep, and horses must also freeze to death.  No cattle, sheep or horses.  The Manchu people were about to face the crisis of having no food and starving to death.

    It was the same disaster, but it was the Manchus who could not bear the consequences.  Because the interior is completely different from the Manchu Qing Dynasty.  Thanks to the emperor's efforts, Da Qi's country was already very wealthy.  In addition, the emperor had prepared for the expedition two years ago and had a lot of food reserves.  This snowstorm will not damage the foundation of the imperial court, but will only cost some money.  But it was different for the Manchus.

    It¡¯s okay to have a border town.  The things sent to the border towns over the years have been carefully checked by Wenwan, and not a single bit of them is fake.  It's all real stuff.  Wen Wan can¡¯t say that people in border towns will not freeze to death 100%, but they certainly won¡¯t be the soldiers in border towns (physical fitness).

    Listening to Wen Wan¡¯s words, the emperor¡¯s eyes suddenly brightened.  It was as if he could swallow Wen Wan in one gulp.  Wen Wan was frightened.  Carefully asked: "Uncle Emperor, is there something wrong with what I said?" She probably said nothing wrong!

    The emperor was extremely excited and said: "Wen Wan, what did you just say?" He kept thinking that Da Qi was seriously damaged, but he suddenly forgot that the Manchus were even more seriously damaged.  This result was not something the Manchus could bear.

    Wen Wan repeated what she just said.

    After hearing this, the emperor immediately went to the imperial study and summoned the civil and military ministers.  He didn't even think about Wen Wan who was still in Yanghe Hall.  The emperor was really too excited.  If you think about it seriously, not only is this not a bad thing, it's the opposite.  That¡¯s a good thing!

    Wen Wan sighed heavily, cough, men, men, are completely different from what women think.  Women want stability, but men naturally want to make achievements.

    As soon as Wen Wan returned to the Princess's Mansion, Brother Jin showed Wen Wan his handwriting like a treasure, "Mother, mother. Look at my handwriting and see if it has improved. Sir, I have made progress."

    Wen Wan picked out a candy made of white pear fruit from the porcelain butterfly and gave it to Brother Jin, "Come here, I will reward you with a white pear candy."

    Brother Jin has always liked sweets.  Gentle and severe?Controlled.  If you eat this stuff, you will get tooth decay if you are not careful. It is better to eat less.  But fortunately, Mingjin no longer has a sweet tooth after that incident.  However, Wen Wan likes to tease Mingjin in this way.

    When Mingjin saw Wen Wan coaxing him with candies, he said with a bitter look on his face: "Mom, I'm an adult now. I won't eat candies anymore, and that's true of me. I always forget that I'm a man." On this point  Mingjin was very resentful.  The elder brother can ask his mother to treat him as an equal, but he always treats him like a child.

    Wen Wan laughed: "It's my fault. I suddenly forgot that Mingjin is already a man. I'll remember it next time." She was very happy to have three men in the family.

    Mingjin then smiled.  But his eyes were still looking at the candy, but he quickly turned his head away, indicating that he was not tempted by the candy.

    Wen Wan couldn¡¯t stop laughing when she saw it.  He hugged Mingjin and kissed her until Mingjin's face was drooled, but he didn't dare to show his disgust like Mingrui did.

    Mingjin went to take a nap.

    Wenwan is busy dealing with the snow disaster.  The snow disaster is part of it, and now we have to start preparing a large amount of military supplies.  These must be planned in advance.  Although Wen Wan had given the order before, she did not dare to make any big moves for fear that others would notice the emperor's intention.  Now that Wenwan's trading company has been set up, it can better mobilize supplies.

    Wenwan was busy when she suddenly heard Mingjin looking for her.  Wen Wan hurried out.  As soon as he saw Mingjin, he said excitedly, "Mom, I dreamed about daddy."

    Wen Wan smiled: "What did you dream about your father?" Because when Wen Wan and Bai Shinian were together, Wen Wan painted a lot of paintings, and later painted a lot more based on memories.  Let them all be installed.  In the past few years, when the children missed their father, they would look through the picture albums.  He is quite clear about Bai Shinian's appearance, and there will be no chance of him being mistaken when he comes back in the future.

    Mingjin said very happily: "Mom, I dreamed that dad won a big victory and the class teacher returned to the court. Mom, when dad came back, he took us to go shopping in the downtown area. I was so happy." Mingjin said in great detail.  Those who didn¡¯t know thought it was something that really happened.

    Wen Wan was happy to hear this: "This dream is a good sign. If your father wins a big victory, he will return to the imperial court. Maybe he will come back this year, and my mother has not seen your father for several years." Wen Wan felt a little melancholy.  This is a wedding.  They were married for just over three months, but they were separated for seven years.  If it weren't for these two templates of two sons, I would have forgotten even what my husband looked like.

    Mingjin said carefully, "Mom, do you miss daddy? My brother and I both miss daddy." As soon as the child mentioned daddy, her mother looked melancholy and asked very considerately.

    After Wen Wan listened to Mingjin¡¯s question, her thoughts returned.  He shook his head immediately, "What do you want him to do? No, it's enough for me to have Brother Rui and Brother Jin."

    Mingjin said unhappily: "No. Mom, I miss my dad. I haven't met my dad yet? Mom, I miss my dad. I miss my brother too."

    Wenwan held Mingjin in her arms without saying anything.  Wen Wan plans to send Mingjin away from the capital during this period.  Wen Wan is really reluctant to let go.

    The imperial court has been dealing with snow disasters.  Before this matter was implemented, Wen Wan heard that the censor was impeaching her, saying that she was lax in her duties and allowed her slaves to do evil.

    When Wen Wan saw the news about his impeachment, it was said that a domestic slave in her mansion was occupying other people's foundations outside: "Go and check it out. See if it is true." The emperor had not even impeached her personally, but someone had already impeached her.  Rare.

    The chief steward came over quickly and replied: "Princess, we have found out. It is a follower named Tian in the mansion. One of his distant relatives bought a house in the capital, but he did not know the market and was blackmailed. Find him.  He asked for help and wanted to recover the money. They started fighting because of their disagreement. "Although this person is not a practicing man.  But there were many guards in the palace, and if one or two were randomly summoned, the group of people would naturally be beaten until they were all lying on the bed.  Don¡¯t even think about getting out of bed for two months.

    Wen Wan was a little baffled yesterday when she heard that a censor was impeaching a servant in her name for occupying a good house of the common people.  Unexpectedly, it turned out to be an incident like this: "If you pay the money for the goods, it's clear. If you were blackmailed, it's your fault for being incompetent. Even if you want to recover the money, you shouldn't use the name of the princess's palace."  Let this man go out. The two guards will be punished with twenty big sticks and will be fined half a year's salary. I will give you an order. Next time something like this happens, I will use the reputation of the mansion to help others and cause trouble for the mansion.  Sold it immediately after the heavy responsibility, and the whole family did not want to be impeached by the imperial censor again. "If the guard did not call out the name of the princess's palace, her private fight would naturally have nothing to do with her.  At most it was a civil dispute, but this person showed up in the princess's mansion.  Now everyone was staring at her like black eyes.  Any little thing can be infinitely magnified by those people.

    " But it's just because it's not a big deal. Otherwise, Wen Wan wouldn't use such a gentle method.  Wen Wan's current thoughts have already changed since she first arrived.?, earth-shaking changes have taken place.  In fact, this matter is not a big deal. Wen Wan only punished the people in the mansion.  The emperor just kept the discount and refused to pay it.  The emperor now has his own thoughts and plans to conquer it himself.

    The emperor had this idea and immediately took action.  As for Wen Wan, she will be summoned to the palace by the emperor every two days.  The emperor discussed things with Wen Wan.  Including government affairs, military reserves, and all kinds of things.  Let Wen Wan feel very tired.

    In the past, Wen Wan would go to the palace two or three times a month. During the past half of the month, she had visited the palace frequently. It was because of the disaster relief. But who believed that the court officials were solely responsible for the disaster relief? Princess Wen Wan had never interfered.  .  So this abnormal behavior attracted a lot of people's attention.

    The prince was very uneasy, but he couldn't find out what it was.  There was no news from the emperor.  There is only Wenwan here.  However, it is difficult for Wen Wan to get information here.  The prince became increasingly uneasy.  Finally let the princess try it.

    Wen Wan received the invitation from the Crown Princess and asked Xia Ying with a smile: "Do you think we should meet her?"

    Wen Wan thought Xia Ying said she couldn¡¯t see him.  Unexpectedly, Xia Ying said: "Why not? The emperor has been preparing for so long, and the news will be announced soon. When the princess comes this time, the princess can reveal the news to the princess."

    Wen Wan was taken aback, and Xia Ying changed her mind: "Speaking of the expedition. I'm still wondering why no one else seems to know about it except me. Those mature people in the capital will not be able to guess such a big thing.  ." This is something Wen Wan is quite puzzled by.  According to legend, the emperor had to start preparations for such a big event long in advance.  The emperor has been discussing various matters with her.  But none of the concubines, princes, and court officials knew why.

    Xia Ying was speechless at Wen Wan's question: "The emperor didn't reveal this to anyone. Who can imagine it."

    Wen Wan was surprised: "Would you not have expected it? The emperor's uncle also practices riding and shooting, and exercises every day. There are already signs of many things."

    Xia Ying once again despised Wen Wan: "Princess, no one in the world except you, Princess, can guess the emperor's thoughts. The emperor's practice of riding and shooting will not remind people of his personal expedition." What Wen Wan didn't know was  , the emperor got a big advantage from Wen Wan in this matter.  In the past, everything needed to be done through the treasury.  But the emperor himself had a lot of money, and the development of new weapons and equipment was all paid for by Wen Wan.  Wen Wan will not leak the news here.  The emperor's situation was also very tight.  In addition, the emperor only said that he could not be unfamiliar with the essence of the world, so not many people really guessed that the emperor would personally conquer it (it is impossible that no one guessed it, but those who guessed were silent, waiting for the emperor's further actions)  After all, speculation and facts are not the same thing. Not all people are like Wen Wan. If you guess that the emperor wants to go to war personally, it will be a disaster to accidentally spy on the emperor.)

    The Crown Princess came over, and Wen Wan asked Ling Chang to come over and meet the Crown Princess.  Then Lingchen was asked to go back to class.  Wen Wan walked with the Crown Princess in the courtyard.

    It¡¯s early February, although the sun is shining, it¡¯s still very cold.  Wen Wan wore a fiery red cloak and graciously asked the princess to accompany her to watch the early spring sky.

    Hai Ruyu was a little weird about Wen Wan's behavior: "Wen Wan, this is the first time I have come to the garden today! It is early spring, and the garden has returned to life."

    Wen Wan smiled and said: "This snowstorm has delayed spring. This year is destined to not be a peaceful year."

    Hai Ruyu¡¯s heart was beating rapidly.  If Wen Wan refused to accept her post, she would naturally be speechless.  But now that Wen Wan has accepted the post, it becomes clear that this year will not be a year of peace.  What is not a year of peace?  Of course, it was not a natural disaster, but something else.

    Hai Ruyu hadn't asked yet. She pointed at the fish under the pond with a gentle smile: "The ice has melted and the fish have come out. If in previous years, we could wait until spring and still be able to fish in our free time, I'm afraid it won't be possible this year."  An eventful year.

    Hai Ruyu smiled and said: "Everywhere is so busy. When you have free time, I will fish with you. Let's see who catches more."

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????: "Yes. Then we will make a full fish feast."

    The two of them haven¡¯t spoken for a quarter of an hour.  Someone in the palace came to give an oral instruction, and the emperor asked Wen Wan to enter the palace quickly.  The emperor is looking for gentleness when he has something to do.

    Wen Wan immediately entered the palace.

    The Crown Princess kept thinking about Wen Wan saying that this year would be an eventful year in the carriage.  Hai Ruyu believes that Wenwan will not target people without aim.  He must be hinting at something, and it was something big.  As for what the big deal is, Hai Ruyu cannot tell.  Returning to the East Palace, he told the truth to the prince: "Your Highness, Wen Wan must have meant something when she said this. As for what it means, I really can't think of it." Very few people would think of a personal expedition.  wipe outThe Tatars were naturally the wish of all the emperors of Qi.  The problem is that the Tatars cannot be completely destroyed.  Defeated Escape to the Depths.  They came out again after ten or eight years, slowly grew stronger, and then rebelled against the imperial court.

    When the Crown Princess arrived at the Princess's Mansion, what Wen Wan said to the Crown Princess spread as quickly as possible.  After Qi Mu got the news, he could make Wen Wan, who was as stable as a mountain, say such words.  It must be a very important matter.

    Qi Mu had a vague suspicion in his mind.  If it was as he suspected, it would be a great thing for him.  When his father goes on an expedition, as the only prince with military merit, he will definitely be able to fight to follow him on the expedition.  This military merit is obtained with certainty.

    Qi Mu felt excited when he thought of this, and immediately told his staff about this guess.  Although everyone was very surprised.  But considering the emperor's temperament and his original reputation, it is not surprising that the emperor has this idea.  Moreover, the Qi army was strong and powerful, and it was absolutely reasonable for the emperor to want to destroy the Tatars and leave their name in history.  What they have to do now is to fight for the expedition.  You can gain military merit by following the expedition.  For Qi Mu, it also accumulated important political capital.

    PS: Let¡¯s eat a lot of glutinous rice balls, and give June a bowl of pink soup.
