Chapter 723: Xiaoice River
This kind of thing, Lu Chensheng had to ask if his own people did it.
If you want to talk about it, it's still very possible.
"How is it possible, the ministers all want to save face, and in addition, this is the imperial tomb of the previous dynasty, where do they dare to dig it at will? If this is dug up, the relationship with colleagues will not be handled well. ”
Qiong Yue shook her head and added.
It really wasn't their people who did it.
The ministers are the most unlikely, in any case, the previous dynasty has just fallen, and many of the ministers have an inextricable relationship with the previous dynasty.
It is absolutely impossible to say that it is impossible to dig up the emperor's tombs of the previous dynasty, and it is impossible to dig up the tombs of the emperors of other countries.
There are a lot of people in the Manchu Dynasty, and they all have their own belongings, if they dig up, wouldn't it directly provoke trouble?
When Lu Chensheng heard this, he thought about it.
It is unlikely that the ministers would do this thing, and Lu Chensheng did not give an order, so it should not be done by the people of the Xinghan Empire.
"Let the people who don't say anything find out the people, and then send some people to protect these imperial tombs."
Lu Chensheng opened his mouth and ordered.
Gu Zhifang immediately arranged manpower and began to solve this matter.
When Lu Chensheng came back, Yueyue and the two daughters looked very happy, and they had no intention of leaving.
Lu Chensheng was ready to sit down to deal with affairs, and he didn't have the slightest intention of leaving.
"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess."
The ministers in the imperial study had already saluted when they saw the saint coming in, but then they saw the two princesses and hurriedly saluted again.
When the two princesses saw an outsider at this moment, they immediately changed their appearances, extremely dignified and reserved.
After nodding lightly, he sat aside.
"The Holy One has finally returned."
The ministers turned their heads and looked at Lu Chensheng on the side and sighed.
Although Qingming went back to worship, it was a little too long for the saint to go.
Lu Chensheng didn't feel emotional, didn't he just stay in Taohuawu for a while, this is not a big deal.
"But what do you want to ask? Let's all report it together. ”
After leaving for too long, Lu Chensheng had just come back and was ready to have a court meeting with the ministers.
"There are some major events, the countries of the Western Regions have now ceased war, and the kings of all the countries have written letters of state and submitted them to the emperor, presumably to express their submission."
Du Rufang said.
The countries of the Western Regions are still obedient, or they know that they are subject to the Xinghan Empire.
At present, the transactions with the Xinghan Empire are becoming more and more frequent, and you can earn a lot of silver every year.
This is quite tolerable, but the grain, salt, silk, ironware, etc. bought from Xinghan City are difficult for them to make by themselves.
I used to be able to endure it, but now I'm used to it, and how can I go back to the past.
Therefore, the tolerance of the countries of the Western Regions is also expected.
For this decision of the Holy One, the ministers are still very much in favor of it.
It is only when they are not unified that they can squeeze them like this.
Otherwise, once they unite, not to mention the threat to the Xinghan Empire, even the trade in commodities will have a certain right to speak.
That's not a good thing.
"That's a good thing."
Lu Chensheng nodded, the countries of the Western Regions have tolerated it now, and the next transaction can continue, and they can still get a lot of good things from them.
Something like Hetian jade earns a lot of money.
The income of Xinghan City, but the income of the treasury of the Xinghan Empire, cannot be broken at will.
"What else?"
Lu Chensheng continued to ask, taking out the letters written by the countries from the side.
At a glance, it was just written that the monarchs hoped to be friendly with the Xinghan Empire forever, as well as words to pay tribute to the Xinghan Empire.
Lu Chensheng looked at it a few times and threw it aside.
As for the reply, just ask a minister to write a letter and send it back.
These countries in the Western Regions are the most powerful, and their military strength is only about 100,000, which is not at the same level as the Xinghan Empire.
Replying to the other party's letter of state, there is no need for Lu Chensheng to write it himself.
"There seems to be some unease in the neighboring countries around us."
The good news at the beginning seemed to be to appease Lu Chensheng, lest Lu Chensheng explode and send troops to attack him.
Lu Chensheng's brows furrowed, and the expression on his face was indeed a little displeased.
I haven't even had the intention of making a move on them, these guys actually dare to be disrespectful to the Xinghan Empire?
"What's going on?"
"It should be the winter moon, other countries have also suffered a serious snowstorm, the disaster is extremely serious, and it has also affected this year, according to reports from all over the country, this year's temperature is much colder than usual, I am afraid that this year's grain harvest will be affected.
In a foreign country, like us, the harvest is not much better under the cold weather, so there are troops around us that have begun to build-up, presumably with the intention of invading our country and plundering food.
For foreign countries, the Han dynasty, Liao, is rich in products, and if it can be plundered, it will definitely be a bumper harvest. ”
Lu Chensheng's face completely cooled.
When he came back, he really felt that the weather was a little too cold this year, even after winter, but the weather still did not mean to warm up.
At first, I just thought it was something unusual about the weather this year, and I didn't think much about it.
At this moment, listening to the reports from all over the world, it seems that this is the case everywhere, which is enough to prove the seriousness of the matter.
"How are the crops doing everywhere?"
Lu Chensheng didn't dwell on the matter of the gathering of foreign troops, but asked about the growth of crops.
"Under the cold winter, many crops cannot be planted, and I am afraid that this year's harvest will not be good."
Li Daifu of the household department said in a low voice, this is a bit of a disaster.
The Xinghan Empire had just been built, and after a series of good policies from the Holy Lord, the ministers thought that as long as it took some time, it would definitely be possible to reach the point of prosperity.
I never thought that this sky would be like being unable to get along with the Xinghan Empire.
This disaster is one disaster after another.
"Isn't it the Xiaoice River period?"
Lu Chensheng looked up at the outside of the room, feeling a little heavy in his heart.
Looking at the abnormal weather here, it seems that it really looks like the Xiaoice River period.
If it is really a Xiaoice period, it will lead to weather disasters such as cold in winter and drought in summer.
This is very fatal for crops.
It's a fatal thing.
It is easy to freeze the people to death in the cold winter, and the foreign country still wants to plunder the Xinghan Empire to tide over this difficulty at this time.
"Holy Lord..."
The ministers were uneasy, and they felt an inexplicable pressure when they looked at the gloomy face of the saint in front of them.
