Shu Chen

Chapter 84
Everyone who set off again faintly felt that the Son of Heaven was quite different.

In the past, when the emperor Liu Chan had leisure time, he would hold banquets and invite people to drink together for fun, or he would hold a pen and ink in the pavilion to make danqing, or he advocated acura music for self-entertainment.If you learn calligraphy with Empress Zhang, you will be diligent.
After leaving the palace today, everyone thought that although the emperor would not let loose his body and do things that humiliated the etiquette of the emperor.

However, acting recklessly, or playing with Meng Lang, should be unavoidable.

Unexpectedly, the emperor has become self-disciplined.

When it is time to eat, recite the book and pass it on.

When they were waiting for dinner, they waited with Fu Yan and others, dancing swords.

Along the way, he no longer rides a car, he walks in a car all the way, and he no longer complains about the rough road.

When Dao encounters a ranger, he invites him to drink wine together, and asks him about the customs of the counties and counties he has traveled to, how the officials are clear and bright, and whether the people are happy or not.

When the town fell, they would go inside to look for the three elders, or gossip in Qianshou during the slack season of farming, asking how the autumn harvest was this year, how the local fields were producing, and whether after paying taxes, could they survive the green and yellow season.

There was a little bit of faintness, and the benevolent gentleman who sympathized with Li Shuming and the people's livelihood made a gesture.

Naturally, stubbornness is also there.

Occasionally, he would find Zhuge Qiao to play the qin together, let Zheng Pu reflect the scenery on the flute, or let the entourage wrestle for fun.

In this regard, the people were surprised and happy.

There is no advice, each is busy, so he can take his time and see how long the emperor can last.

The busiest person is Dong Yun.

He has been walking by the side of the emperor, watching and listening carefully, and from time to time, he picks up a pen and ink, and records his daily life.

In the daily life record written, Dong Yun no longer memorized in general, but turned to the extreme detail to write about the emperor, and he almost didn't report to the prime minister when the emperor changed clothes.

However, despite being busy, everyone found that he, who has always been unsmiling, has been smiling frequently recently.

All the way to go and stop, the journey is quite slow, it took nearly ten days to arrive at Jintang Gorge.

Jintang Gorge, as the name suggests, is a canyon where the Longquan Mountains break.

The Mianyuan River, Shiting River, Jian River, Qingbai River (Puyang River), and Pijiang (Bai Tiao River) originating from the Minshan Mountains in Wenshan County and the Longmen Mountains in the northwest of Guanghan County converge to become the Yanshui (Tuojiang River), which rushes into Jintang Gorge, mighty through Qianwei County, south into the big river (Yangtze River).

With so many tributaries entering into a gorge, the turbulent water flow can be seen.

During the rainy season in summer, when the water entered the Jintang Gorge, the roar continued, like the wrath of a golden horse and an iron horse, day and night.

According to the oral tradition of the local Li Shu, there is an ancient alien beast trapped and imprisoned by the Emperor of Heaven here.

However, at this time, it is the dry season of midwinter, and it is not a thrill to walk through the Jintang Gorge.

Occasionally, the sound of water hitting the rocks and cliffs is not enough to be feared, but it makes people feel the heroic and majestic mountains and rivers.

As soon as the Son of Heaven and everyone arrived, they stopped at a high place and looked up.

They praised ups and downs in their mouths.

I saw the mountains here are majestic, the peaks are beautiful, the terrain on both sides is steep, the rocks are interlaced, the river is rushing by, the waves are rumbling, and occasionally boats are floating in the gorge, and it is quite thrilling.

The weather is cold and the water is warm, and the clouds and mists are shrouded in mist, shrouding the dense forests on both sides of the distant shore.

Looking from a distance, the scenery is beautiful, like a dark green silk favored by God.

The emperor Liu Chan stood with his hands behind his back, and his eyes were full of joy.

He hadn't seen such a breathtaking beauty of mountains and rivers for a long time.

It seems that, as you can see from the above, before the hair is tied, from Yongan to Shu through the majestic Qutang Gorge, there is such a magnificent scenery that can be compared.

However, the emperor was still there at that time.

Guan Hou and his uncle were also there, as well as Fazheng, Ma Liang, Huang Zhong, Huo Jun and so on.

The mountains are still majestic, and the waters to the east are still flowing, but the people who were familiar with them in the past are now vaguely blurred.
However, although the years have changed and the old people have passed away, the mountains and rivers have not changed, how can the ambition be easy to evil!

call.
Slightly drooping his eyes, the emperor quietly exhaled a turbid breath.

The same is true, to drive out the dejection that hurts the spring and the sad autumn.

Afterwards, the emperor Liu Shan opened his eyes again, his eyes were glowing, he suddenly drew his sword and raised it to the top, and swore aloud, "Ah! Such a great river and mountain, how can I let the treacherous and vicious rebels of the Wei Wei be poisoned! Lords, restore the Central Plains, restore my great man, I must rise up!"

"nice!"

As soon as the voice of the Son of Heaven fell, Guan Xing slapped his palms in praise.

Immediately, the tiger's eyes were slightly moistened, he pulled out his sword, and roared, "Northern expedition to the Central Plains, restore me as a big man!"

He was born after the femoral humerus of the Yuan Dynasty, and was mentioned by his parents since he was a child. He has long since engraved his will to be loyal to the emperor Liu Chan and to overcome the Central Plains and restore the Han Dynasty in his bones.

However, the people in the crowd are also not to be outdone.

Han Feng, who is known for his majesty, is now in the oath of the emperor Liu Chan, arousing everyone's blood.

They both drew their blades, their faces were red and their eyes were red, and they roared loudly.

Unleash the burning pride, the arrogance of the young age, and the spiritual imprint branded by the iron-boned fathers.

Fu Yan, who was quite young, roared in a voice that had not changed his voice, and burst into tears.

Then, he lowered his head and covered his face with one hand, his shoulders shook violently, and he choked.

Alas, in this situation, he should be thinking about his late father Fu Xi.

Only Zheng Pu, when he followed the crowd and roared, did not change his appearance, and his eyes were also clear.

It's not that he didn't have an agitated mind, and it wasn't that he didn't have the ambition to conquer the Central Plains, or that he felt that the emperor Liu Shan's aspirations were not enough.

But there was a strange feeling in his heart, fiddling with his heartstrings, so that the resonating emotions could not be released.

He really couldn't, and overlapped the current emperor Liu Shan who drew his sword and roared with the "Lady Lord" in Chen Feng's memory.

Could it be that the heroic style of the late emperor Liu Bei is now possessed by the emperor?

But here, isn't it quite far from the Huiling of the late emperor?
It is also!

In Zheng Pu's heart, he had never had it before. He hoped that the emperor Liu Chan would be as stoic and heroic as the late emperor Liu Bei!
He advised the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang to let the emperor go out of the palace to increase his knowledge, eat the food of Li Shu, take the journey of the soldiers, and observe the customs of Bashu, but it is just to avoid that the emperor Liu Chan should not indulge in having fun in the future, so that he will become a traitor and corrupt officials. The Northern Expedition is just a hindrance!
Hope, never pray too much!

Don't dare to pray too much.

Everyone knows that Zi Liu Chan is so high-spirited today that it makes him like a dream.

In my heart, I still can't be sure.

Shouldn't it be a moment of pride and arrogance, and then forget it?
He took the silk from his sleeve and handed it to Fu Yu's Zheng Pu. He was also thinking about it in his heart, hesitating about his words, seeing if he could inspire the emperor Liu Shan to turn today's words into a promise.

However, before he thought about it thoroughly, everyone took another step towards the garrison camp in Jintang Gorge.

Well, according to the previously scheduled itinerary, the emperor will stay in the military camp for one night, and he will be on his way home.

One is that the prime minister, Zhuge Liang, was worried that the weather would be cold and freezing, fearing that the emperor would get sick after traveling too long in the dining environment.

The other is that, as the ruler of a country, it is not good that he will not come to court for too long.Otherwise, if the court officials do not see the emperor's voice for a long time, they may speculate on their own, which will lead to turbulence in the situation.

The barracks in Jintangxia only had [-] soldiers stationed.

Because the land of Bashu is quite peaceful today, there is no need to station too many troops here.

In fact, during the DPRK meeting, there was a previous case where the voice of the troops stationed here was withdrawn for reasons such as safety and security being irrelevant, as well as the transportation of grain and fodder to supply laborers and people.

Of course, the prime minister fought against the public opinion and eliminated the remonstrance of the ministers.

The reason is that this place is quite dangerous. If the army is not stationed, it may attract thieves and bandits, and loot boats and boats across the gorge.

The difficulty in supplying grains is the reason why Zheng Pu was sent here: In the past, when Zheng Pu was in Pingyi County, Pingyi, he led the natives and barbarians to build terraced fields to see if there was a possibility of building terraced fields here.

For the garrison soldiers to settle the fields for self-sufficiency.

When Zheng Pu entered the military camp, he took advantage of the fact that the evening meal had not arrived, and he walked along the bank of Qi Ya Cuo with a portable squatter and checked the terrain carefully.

It also gave up the idea of ​​developing terraced fields.

The mountains here are too majestic, and the low hills and gentle slopes are too few to be seen.

However, in the wilderness along the two banks, the soil is quite fertile, but it is possible to cultivate soil and cultivate valleys.

However, irrigation cannot solve it.

Thanks to the irrigation of Dujiangyan water conservancy, there is less wheat, millet, and millet in the central Shu Plain, but more rice.

Rice cannot be without water.

In the rainy seasons of summer and autumn, the water that passes through Jintang Gorge swells sharply, and local Li Shu and garrison soldiers may cause flash floods. Therefore, they build up soil and rocks on both sides, making the land on both sides more than ten feet above the water.

Moreover, the wasteland on both sides is at the foot of the mountain range, the terrain is slowly raised, and it is impossible to open ditches to divert water for irrigation.

Naturally, if he followed the example of Emperor Ling's time, Ye Ting ordered Bi Lan to build an overturned car called Kewu (keel waterwheel), but it would be possible to draw water.

It's just that the overturning of the truck requires manpower or animal power. Comparing the manpower consumed and the harvested grain, it is still more cost-effective to plant mulberry and hemp.

No external force is required unless water is drawn.

Zheng Pu, who had given a brief look, had already come to a conclusion.

They sent Qi Ya Cuo to chop down long bamboos, tested the water depth at different locations along the coast one by one, and roughly measured the slope of the wilderness before returning home.

After returning to the military camp, the emperor Liu Shan actually sent someone and waited for him for a long time.

I don't know why the emperor is looking for me?

Surprised in his heart, Zheng Pu hurriedly walked away.

When he entered the emperor's tent, he found that only the emperor was sitting in the tent, holding a bamboo slip while reading.

And it is quite strange that there is no one else in the tent, and even Dong Yun, who is the living recorder, is not there.Seeing Zheng Pu's arrival, the emperor smiled and gurgled. Before he could bow, he waved his hand and urged, "Zijin, sit down."

"promise!"

Bowing and bowing, Zheng Pu sat down and said softly, "Jun Liu is urgently summoned, do you know what to tell me?"

"Nothing important, just chatting."

He waved his hand, the emperor laughed loudly, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Tomorrow I will go back to Chengdu, Zijin has business affairs, I don't know when I can sit and talk again, it's a pity. Jin will talk about the 'unity of knowing and doing' again."

At first, the troops and horses sent by Zhao Yun, the general of Zhengnan, brought in the grain to supply the garrison in Jintangxia.

Now Yiran is stationed here, the next morning, the emperor and others will easily change their generals and lead their armor, mix with the army to hide their eyes and ears, and return to Chengdu.
