Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 203 Someone really came to die

Time is always relative to a person.At the beginning, Liu Xie lived his life surrounded by wolves in Weiyang Palace, counting the days until Dong Zhuo was killed.But after he finally tidied up and flattened the area around Guanzhong, he felt that the life was really quiet like flowing water, but extremely fast.

Watching the snow on the ground melt a little bit, and then be coated with a light blue color by the tender green seedlings that broke through the ground, Liu Xie knew that he had spent another year in this era.

Looking back on the events of the past three years, Liu Xie still feels that they are still vivid in his memory.But when he took off his heavy fur coat and walked to Chang'an Avenue, looking at the bustling and prosperous scene, Liu Xie couldn't believe his eyes.

However, at this time, looking at the things Leng Shouguang carefully presented up, wrapped in yellow silk, and looking at Fushou's playful face opposite, Liu Xie has no sense of Chang'an's rapid changes.Because, the thing in the yellow silk in front of him is the auspiciousness that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty swore to Liu Xie!
Auspicious!
Liu Xie has never been unfamiliar with this term.In ancient societies where natural science was not yet developed, people would judge things beyond their cognition based on their properties, and those things inexplicably became a harbinger of good luck and disaster.

It's just that Liu Xie really can't laugh or cry about the auspicious sign in front of him, which represents this good luck.

In his opinion, the so-called auspicious things must be divine beasts such as Qinglong, Baihu, Xuanwu, and Suzaku, right?Even if the entire Han Dynasty couldn't find one or two albino tigers, we still have to find a few four-faced unicorns, right?

However, the cruel reality tells Liu Xie that he still thinks this era is too fantasy.

The three things in front of him were simply too common for Liu Xie, and none of them had more technological content than his copycat version of the rich gold mobile phone that was kidnapped by Diao Chan.

Because, these three things are a sweet potato that is almost as big as a human head, a yellow and golden potato, and a corn cob that is more neat than teeth!

These three rations that Liu Xie didn't want to eat in his previous life, how can there be any cool taste of auspiciousness? !
However, Liu Xie did not dare to say this in court.Because he knew that he didn't need to open his mouth, as long as he showed a little indifference, the civil and military officials in the court would drown him with saliva!
According to the civil and military sayings of the Manchu Dynasty, these three good grains are full of food, resistant to hunger, have extremely high yields, and can be planted on dry land without picking the land.Potatoes and sweet potatoes can be stored in the cellar for a year, and corn can be stored for as long as you want... And, more importantly, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty swore that these three rations are rare and delicious in the world!
Such things are not considered auspicious, so what is considered auspicious?

Thinking carefully about the reasons for the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, Liu Xie also felt that he had no room to refute.Looking through the history books, who in the past dynasties had a grain yield of fifty shi per mu?The birth of these three auspicious signs will solve the worry of food shortage in one fell swoop, and may even bring the entire Han Dynasty to a glorious era where there will be no more hunger.Such an achievement, even in the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors that Confucianism yearns for, how can it be achieved?
Regarding things like auspiciousness, the attitudes of all dynasties have been peaceful attitudes that neither deny nor admire.Of course, there are some clown-like figures who are grandstanding, but generally speaking, those honest scholar-bureaucrats who deeply believe in Confucian classics still sneer at these ghosts and gods.

But today is different.

Everyone knows in their hearts that taking other things as auspiciousness will be looked down upon by real scholar-bureaucrats and reviled by literati and inkmen.But taking these three things as auspiciousness will only attract praise.After all, the backward agricultural society really made people living in this era suffer a lot.

In general, Liu Xie just wanted to follow the practice of the past dynasties and give rewards to those officials for the auspicious contribution that happened in the court today.But what he didn't expect was that after learning about the huge energy of these three auspicious signs, those ministers of civil and military affairs had a big brain hole, thinking of the great achievement of the unification of the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop.

According to Sikong Chunyujia, this auspicious auspiciousness descended from heaven in the great Han Dynasty was a sign of the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty.The Son of Heaven can use this name to order the princes of the world to come and congratulate him without bloodshed.Using this flying stone to hit the water to test, whoever is loyal and who is treacherous will be revealed at the first try.At that time, the heavenly army of the Han Dynasty will be dispatched to act in the name of heaven to act as a king and overlord, which is exactly what the ancient Ming emperor did.

It has to be said that Liu Xie was almost bewitched by such a proposal under the fierce competition of civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty.Fortunately, there are stable ministers in the court, so that the emperor will not make mistakes-Xu Rong, the captain of the Northern Army Tuen Cavalry School, immediately came out and interrupted the fierce discussion among the civil servants on the grounds that Chang'an's army was not stable and the leadership was different. Advise.

After the Battle of Chang'an, Xu Rong, a famous general of the Han Dynasty who had suffered injustice, was finally promoted by Liu Xie, and took the position of chief of the most elite field force in Chang'an.And this time in the court hall, Liu Xie was very grateful that he did not bury this famous general.

Xu Rong is right.

Although Chang'an has become rich and prosperous, but at this time, if you want to extend your hand to Guanzhong, there is still a very important military reform that needs to be launched.

Liu Xie also more or less guessed the thoughts of the civil servants who proposed to take the step forward.After all, the account book presented by the chief minister Zhang Yi years ago made the entire court gasp at Guanzhong's economic income.Such a huge number gave them unparalleled confidence, and they couldn't help but take it for granted.

However, these ministers are still much better than before.After all, with this proposal, they also know that Chang'an's military strength is really tight.Therefore, they also counted the Xiongnu cavalry and Zhangji's Xiliang cavalry in the east.In their view, since these two troops are not directly descended from the Han Dynasty, they should go out to the Kanto to show off their might, so that the heroes of the Kanto can feel the revival of the Han Dynasty.

After figuring this out, Liu Xie immediately reprimanded those ministers.This time, he didn't use the emperor's femininity at all, but said angrily that these guys didn't understand Liu Xie's heart clearly.

That's right, a guy like Liu Xie who only wants to make a fortune silently will naturally make considerable profits once he sends troops.What's the use of such stupid things as losing money and going out to make money?This is not the first three days after the opening of the new store in the previous life, with discounts and promotions to earn fame.

"But Your Majesty, are you really not tempted at all?" Fu Shou looked at Liu Xie looking at these three auspicious signs, smiling for a while, and frowning for a while. He had already guessed Liu Xie's mind and deliberately teased Liu Xie: At the beginning, you were waiting for this day, and you were so full of ambition that you wanted to push the seedlings to grow. How come now that the people in Chang'an have realized the great energy of these three auspicious signs, but you are still timid?"

Liu Xie raised his head, glanced at Fushou, and sighed for no reason.

Seeing Liu Xie's reaction to his words, Fu Shou couldn't help pouting his ruddy lips.But before she glanced at Liu Xie with mournful eyes, Liu Xie said dejectedly again: "Actually, you can fight a few times, but I also understand Xu Rong's meaning. The prosperous situation in Guanzhong makes Chang'an But the soldiers became war-weary."

Speaking of this, Liu Xie seemed very innocent and helpless: "I never imagined that the three reforms a year ago would paint a beautiful scene for the people in Guanzhong that they had never dared to imagine before. Now it is not someone else who came to do it." Us, you let these people run out of the pass to fight to the death, how much power do they have?"

"However, don't those businessmen who come and go hope that the big men will return to unity as soon as possible, so that they don't have to fight for a better life?" Fushou, who followed Liu Xie, is no longer a little girl who has lived in the deep palace for a long time and knows nothing about foreign affairs. , She deeply remembered the complaints of those merchants who came from afar in the streets and alleys.

"It's really good." Liu Xie smiled, but then shook his head: "Businessmen can't wait to extend their business to the ends of the earth, and naturally hope that the unified dynasty will bring them greater convenience. But unfortunately, although the merchants in Guanzhong There is a tendency to rise, but there are still more people growing potatoes in the Guannei area. And those shrewd businessmen rarely send their children to the army."

"In this way, Your Majesty, you actually want to take the step out of the Kanto, but you are actually waiting for another opportunity, right?" Fu Shou didn't understand the logic of men, and was soon dizzy by Liu Xie.But I have to say, her summary is still in place.

"That's right, now we have to wait for a suitable opportunity, an opportunity for something inconvenient to provoke the Guanzhong people." Liu Xie thought for a while, and then pinched the ambivalence of the Guanzhong people who wanted to show off their power but coveted comfort and prosperity : "People in Guanzhong are full of self-confidence and sense of superiority. As long as someone dares to break ground on Taisui, they will fight with others..."

At this point, Liu Xie discovered that Leng Shouguang had quietly received a secret letter from the window.After whispering, Liu Xie's face suddenly changed, and he slapped the low table overjoyed: "The big thing is done! There are really guys who will die if they don't do anything, dare to touch the tiger's butt!"

"Your Majesty, your potato!" Leng Shouguang looked at the potato that was slapped on the ground by Liu Xie, but felt very distressed.

"It's just right, I cut it thinly, put more chili and vinegar, and fry a hot and sour potato shreds!"
