Chapter Eighty-Nine: Heavy Customs, Not Heavy Places
This time, it was not Yan Yi who accompanied Zhang Yuan to Chang'an, but Luo Hong.
Luo Xia Hong finally came to Du County from his hometown Ba County half a month ago, Zhang Yuan asked him to be a lecturer to share the pressure of Tang Capital, but he was dismissed by Luo Xia Hong.
He said that his current knowledge is not enough to teach students, and he hopes to read those classics in Taixue to deepen his knowledge.
Although Zhang Yuan was a little helpless, he still agreed, as long as he could keep Luoxiahong by his side.
This time he entered Chang'an with Luo Xiahong completely because he knew how to see the celestial phenomena, and maybe he could compete with Tian Wei's Mandate of Heaven based on the celestial phenomena.
When I arrived in Chang'an, the rumors of the Destiny Theory were heard everywhere.
Some monks even set up platforms, saying that they could not use manpower to block the mouth of the river, which might cause even greater disasters.
Zhang Yuan and Luo Xiahong saw this scene, glanced at each other, and then frowned.
Hurry up and rush to the Taifu Mansion, Wei Qing did not accompany Liu Che today, but has been waiting for Zhang Yuan to arrive in the mansion.
"Brother Yuan, you are here, and this one is here?"
Wei Qing thought that Zhang Yuan had accepted another apprentice.
"This is Bajun Luohong, who has a deep knowledge of the Heavenly Official Calendar, and may be able to give us some help this time."
Zhang Yuan looked at Luo Xiahong and introduced to Wei Qing.
Wei Qing was a little surprised, he had the impression that Zhang Yuan didn't like to make friends with people very much, but these two times he came to Chang'an with a fresh face, the former one was a student, and now where did he meet this Luohong, but although Wei Qing had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask.
"Okay, then let's go to the study first and then discuss."
"Okay."
Walking into Wei Qing's study, there were not many books at all, but more swords.
This is like the style of a great general, Zhang Yuan looked around and pulled Luo Xia Hong to sit down.
"Brother Qing summoned me to Chang'an this time, I'm afraid it was because of the failure of the blockage."
Wei Qing nodded solemnly.
"Because of this failure, Your Majesty doesn't seem to want to continue, so I want to ask Brother Yuan if there is any way you can make Your Majesty change his mind."
"It is impossible for such a big disaster to change Your Majesty's mind because of Tian Wei's words, and now that only a month has passed, why does Your Majesty have no patience at all?"
"Don't hide it from my brother, in fact, the canal and the six auxiliary canals are being built at the same time.
The land of Guanzhong is one-third of the world, and the number of people is only three-tenths, but the amount of wealth accounts for six points out of ten.
His Majesty wants to concentrate manpower and material resources to build the two canals in Guanzhong first. ”
Zhang Yuan's head was big when he heard this, and he also said that people are arrogant or something, and it is not the same problem to put it on himself.
These emperors are rich in places they can see, and everyone can eat enough, regardless of those places that they can't see.
Because as long as you can't see it, you can mentally suggest yourself, then it doesn't exist.
"No one can reverse His Majesty's will, this matter is difficult."
Zhang Yuan raised his forehead and sighed.
In the past month, Zhang Yuan had people ask why he didn't open an artificial river in a channeling way, but the result was that Liu Che felt that it was not possible.
It is said that the reason why the Yellow River has been flowing into the ocean is entirely because of the guidance of Dayu.
Dayu is a saint, he must think about thousands of generations when he does things, and the gods in the sky must know and agree.
In this way, Liu Che himself, as a saint, at least he thinks so, he can't change Dayu's meaning, if he does this, it will be convenient for the way of the saint to go against it.
When the emperor's stubbornness is so high, what else can Zhang Yuan say?
This is really the life and death of tens of millions of people in one person.
Did Liu Che know that he was wrong? Zhang Yuan felt that he must know, otherwise he would never agree with Tian Wei's so-called Mandate of Heaven.
The common people are so foolish, as soon as this kind of remark comes out, everyone feels that there is a reason for failure.
If he chooses to let Liu Che admit his mistake at this time or die tens of millions of people, Liu Che must make a choice between the two, and Zhang Yuan believes that Liu Che must choose to die tens of millions of people.
"Since Brother Yuan has no choice, then we have to donate all the food now, and you and I will go to see Your Majesty together tomorrow."
Seeing that he couldn't help this trip, Luo Xia Hong drooped his head and looked very low.
"What's so special about the recent astrological signs?"
Zhang Yuan didn't respond to Wei Qing for the time being, but asked Luo Xiahong.
But Luo Xia Hong shook his head, there is nothing special about the stars, at this time, it means that the Yellow River break is not God's pot.
Zhang Yuan also thought about this reason that he brought Luo Hong.
"Brother Qing, has Your Majesty ever asked the Heavenly Official?"
Wei Qing shook his head.
"I only asked the alchemist."
Zhang Yuan was stunned, asking the heavenly official was already superstitious, but he didn't even ask the heavenly official to ask the priest, this is not superstition at all, and the emperor is really not a normal person.
"Your Majesty is so obsessed with Fangshi, I am afraid that I will bring Luoxiahong into the palace, and I will not be able to make Your Majesty change his mind."
"There is no good way to enter the palace tomorrow, and then we will see if we can influence His Majesty's mind."
"That's all there is to it now."
Because it was a catastrophe year, the Taifu Mansion deducted the amount, even if Zhang Yuan was here, Wei Qing did not put on a feast, just made some simple food.
Zhang Yuan didn't mind that as long as he could fill his stomach, it was difficult for the victims of the sixteen counties in the east to save their lives, let alone filling their stomachs.
Early the next morning, he left Luo Hong in the palace of the servant.
Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing went to Jianzhang Palace to participate in the court meeting.
Zhang Yuan is a new character, he can't see him twice a year, so as soon as he came, everyone watched it.
After Tian Wei saw it, he guessed a little bit in his heart, and stepped forward and said with a cold snort.
"Reading in the old days, I will advise you to say a few words, don't put your mind on the matter of Dongjun."
Zhang Yuan would not clash with Tian Wei in public, arched his hand and said with a smile.
"The lower official remembers the words of the prince.
Thinking of the past feelings, the lower official also reminded the prince and the marquis of a word.
Watch out for Mr. Jifu next to you. ”
Zhang Yuan has already faced an assassination, maybe it was Ji Fu's idea behind him, and it was impossible to continue to show mercy.
Tian Wei didn't know what Zhang Yuan meant by this, and wanted to continue to ask, but Liu Che had already entered the hall.
"Your Majesty has arrived."
"Long live Your Majesty."
"Sit down, all of you."
The ministers walked back to their seats and sat down on their knees.
Liu Che glanced at the officials below, although Zhang Yuan sat in the front rows, but because his head was kept down, Liu Che didn't notice it.
