Chapter 155: Man will conquer the sky

With the end of the Chang'an Competition on the Lantern Festival, Chang'an City has returned to its former tranquility, and the weather gradually warmed up. At this time, bursts of snow were drizzling.

The snow was not heavy and it stopped shortly afterwards. Originally, this should have been a good thing, which means that it would not be too cold this winter, but most experienced old farmers cried.

The so-called auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. There has not been a few snowfalls in Guanzhong throughout the winter, which also indicates that this year will be a drought year.

Perhaps this statement seems a bit superstitious, but it is an experience summarized by the old farmers from generation to generation. Liu Xie does not understand agriculture, but he knows who understand agriculture, whether it is business or industry, but no matter how many advanced concepts he has that can drive the entire nation to take off, it is impossible to escape the limitations of the times at this moment.

Whether it is to promote business or industry, there must be a prerequisite. Everyone will not go hungry. In this era of backward productivity, agriculture is the foundation of all industries. When agriculture prospers, all industries will prosper. When agriculture declines, all industries will wither. This is an unavoidable hurdle.

In Chengming Palace, he had already lost his original appearance when he saw the piles of snow in the courtyard being swept together by the palace people. He had read several memorials from Li Ru in his hand several times.

Yuelai Inn is currently the biggest function of guiding public opinion and collecting people's sentiments. This is not the first time that similar remarks have been seen, and Liu Xie cannot ignore them.

First there was an earthquake, followed by the great man in Guanzhong. Could it be that God is going to destroy the man?

If Liu Xie had not believed in such illusory things in the past, at most, he would have only summarized them as coincidences. However, the lucky golden dragon, the golden clock in his mind, and the ghosts Mo Xueyuan he saw that night, many of them had transcended the scope that science could explain. Even Liu Xie could not help but guess in this regard.

Not to mention now, even in modern times where science is prosperous, there are many things that science cannot explain. In advanced eras, not everything is advanced. Some things can be passed down in China for 5,000 years, and even in modern times, people believe it. It is hard to say that all of them are dross, and they should be killed in one fell swoop.

"Fengxiao, do you believe in fate?" Liu Xie turned his head, looked at Guo Jia on the side, and suddenly asked.

"Fate?" Guo Jia smacked his lips, put down the wine gourd in his hand, followed Liu Xie's gaze and looked at the piles of snow in the garden, shook his head and said, "I believe it."

"Well……"

I can understand the words, but what does it mean to shake your head?

"But if everything is a fate arranged by God, what's the point of our mortals living in this world?" Guo Jia leaned on a pillar, blurred with drunken eyes, looking at the clearer sky after Xiaoxue: "Fate... I believe, but Jia believes more, life is me, that's my own thing, luck is arranged by God."

"Man conquers nature!" Liu Xie's eyes flashed with a bright light and he laughed loudly: "What a crazy person, but... I like it. Since God doesn't let me live a good life, I can't follow its wishes."

"Wei Zhong!"

"I'm here!" Wei Zhong, who was standing beside him, hurriedly followed.

Liu Xie walked out: "This morning court, you don't have to accompany me. You will invite all the masters and experienced farmers I have recruited a few days ago. After the court comes, I will leave the palace."

"Here." Wei Zhong quickly bowed and agreed. Seeing Liu Xie leave, he also obediently bowed to Guo Jia and left the palace with Guo Jia.

Don’t look at Guo Jia’s still white body now, but Wei Zhong knew very well how much this young man was around Liu Xie. It is absolutely right to have a good relationship. Of course, although he was Liu Xie’s confidant, the foreign ministers were not allowed to stay in the palace. This is an iron rule. No matter how unrestrained Guo Jia was, he would not even dare to ignore this iron rule. Smart people should know when to be crazy and when to restrain themselves.

In the morning court, the ministers discussed a different scene, and they praised Liu Xie for his contributions in governance, and the prosperity of China is coming.

If Liu Xie had not already had his own intelligence system, he might have really believed it. None of these people were not old men who were in the officialdom. Silently proclaiming people was their best. If someone from the same grade was here, even if he was really talented, he would have to be praised and destroyed by these people. Liu Xie suddenly discovered that this was the real waste of people invisibly. I wonder how many emperors with the potential of wise emperors in history were deposed like this.

"What you said is reasonable, but it is always good to be prepared for danger in times of peace. Now after the disaster, the people may not know it, but you should know that the food and grass in the treasury cannot last for too long. I have asked for help from all the princes of Jingzhou, Shuzhong, Central Plains, Jizhou and other places. However, as the saying goes, the far water cannot save the nearby fire. For the sake of the present, I hope to introduce some grain merchants to solve the current food and grass difficulties. I wonder if you have any solutions?" Liu Xie sat on the dragon throne and looked at the ministers helplessly.

"This..." The ministers couldn't help but speak loudly when they heard this. After a while, under Yang Biao's leadership, they bowed to Liu Xie and said, "I will definitely do my best to help Your Majesty."

This is useless nonsense, but at this time it can be considered a step for both parties so that the morning court will not be cold.

"Then I'll be in trouble for you," Liu Xie smiled slightly. He didn't have any expectations for this sentence. He was about to announce his retreat. Ding Chong stepped forward and bowed and said, "I have something else, please decide."

"Tell me." Liu Xie looked at Ding Chong and nodded.

"About the Hun envoy, I don't know that Princess Wansheng..." Ding Chong looked at Liu Xie and said with a wry smile. After he learned the news yesterday, he was really confused. There was a Princess Wansheng in the Han Dynasty? Why has I never heard of it?

"Just say it's my aunt, Nian Fang's 28th." Liu Xie thought for a while and said casually.

Ding Chong: "..."

All the civil and military officials of the court: "..."

Feelings were another ruthless deception, and it was also a blatant deception. The civil and military officials of the court suddenly felt a little sympathy for Na Huchuquan and the Xiongnu Khan at this moment. Liu Xie clearly never thought of really getting married.

"This..." Ding Chong looked at Liu Xie hesitantly: "Your Majesty, this matter is not appropriate. The Huns' army has already gone south. At this moment, Your Majesty is so playful of Hu Chuquan, if he knows..."

"Have I ever played with him?" Liu Xie sneered: "The people of this great man are all my people. I have conferred a private princess, and that is also a princess. Did I lie to him? Why do you think of playing with him?"

The civil and military officials in the court looked like a dog-like expression. This is very reasonable. But your Majesty said it so openly and it was heard in Hu Chuquan's ears. How could Hu Chuquan give up?

They thought Liu Xie was preparing to recruit a "Princess Wansheng" to marry, so they naturally didn't know that Liu Xie was in his heart, even if he was just dealing with it casually, but the major matter was not completed and could not be announced. Liu Xie believed that even if he issued a ban order at this moment, this matter would still be "accidentally" and spread to Huchuquan's ears.

But this is just right, which can attract everyone's attention to the court.

"What Your Majesty said is very much." Ding Chong smiled bitterly. This was the first time he discovered that this wise and wise young Majesty also had such an unreasonable side. However, what was the feeling of the refreshing feeling of relief in his heart?

"Okay, if there is no other important matter, let's scatter the court." After temporarily solving this matter, Liu Xie stood up from the dragon throne, and after a loud announcement of his retreat from the small yellow gate beside him, he left Weiyang Palace and returned to the palace. Under the service of Yuxiu and Wan'er, he changed into a strong outfit, took Niu Geng out of the palace gate, and separated from Guo Jia and Wei Zhong who had already been waiting outside the palace gate.

This time, everyone was going to go outside the city. Even if they were on patrol in a condom, the guards were absolutely indispensable. Wei Zhong personally held his tiger talisman and went to the military camp according to Liu Xie's wishes, transferred Taishi Ci and 200 soldiers of the Imperial Guards to wait outside the city. He also selected ten military guards from the palace with excellent martial arts, as well as more than 20 master craftsmen, old farmers, and the group of people gathered together, and came to the outside of Chang'an City in a mighty manner.

"Your Majesty is out of the city?" Yang Biao sat opposite Zhong Yao in Yang Biao's mansion. Since Liu Xie asked the chairs made by craftsmen to become popular, they gradually became popular in Chang'an City. Compared to kneeling, this chair is much more convenient. At this moment, sitting on the chair. After hearing the servant's report, Yang Biao couldn't help but frown: "Do you know where Your Majesty has gone?"

"Looking at the direction, it should be Jinghe. Your Majesty asked Wei Zhong to gather a group of famous craftsmen and old farmers, and went to Jinghe in one go." The general of the family replied.

"Do you bring a guard?" Zhong Yao asked in his heart.

"There are more than 200 people, and the new Zhonglang general Taishi Ci is by his side. This person is skilled in archery and even villains dare not approach him." The general nodded and said.

"Go down." Yang Biao waved his hand and signaled that the generals would step down before looking at Zhong Yao and said, "Yuan Chang, you are in a mess."

"Tao Gong, please forgive me. Since I sent Zhu Ding to the Huns a few days ago, I always feel that something is wrong." Zhong Yao smiled bitterly and said, "I have not heard from you these days, which is really worrying."

"The guard of the camp is Fang Sheng, and this person is his confidant. The three emperors' edicts are probably useless to him. However, if there is any change, then Zhu Ding should come back. I am worried that Fang Sheng will take him down." Yang Biao shook his head and said.

"Then..." Zhong Yao frowned and said, "If this matter is rumored, I'm afraid Your Majesty will be furious."

"Even if this is the case, you should not have the intention to offend the superior." Yang Biao looked at Zhong Yao sternly: "What you and I do are the orthodox scholars, but if the following offends, how can the orthodox statement come from?"

"What the Grand Tutor taught me is." Although Zhong Yao was a little dissatisfied, he still bowed and apologized: "But if this is true, you might as well let the Huqiuquan make a fuss and see what His Majesty is."

After pondering for a moment, Yang Biao nodded and said, "It's good, but you must pay attention to your sense of justice and don't lose your regency."
