Chapter 112: United Front (2)
The East Palace was very small, and Zhang Yue quickly found Liu Jin, who was practicing martial arts in Jiaguan.
Seeing Zhang Yue, Liu Jin was very surprised, put down the wooden sword in his hand, and asked, "Why did Zhang Shizhong have time to come to the East Palace to find Gu today?" ”
"Your Majesty is fortunate to be Ganquan, the minister just has something to do, and I want to invite His Highness to visit ......" Zhang Yue said with a smile.
"What?" When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately became interested.
Yesterday, he and Zhang Yue walked around inside and outside Chang'an City.
Although it was hard, he saw, heard, and learned many things that he did not know before.
This further strengthened his trust in Zhang Yue.
At this moment, when he heard that Zhang Yue was going to do something again, he was naturally full of interest.
"The minister plans to gather all the sages, measure and compile the map of the world, in order to present His Majesty, by the way, write some common sense of the geography of the world, and edit it into a book for the reference of the ministers of the government and the opposition......" Zhang Yue said with a smile: "The minister thinks about it, and still thinks that His Highness is the most suitable person for the principal of this matter......"
Pulling Liu Jin is not just about using him as a cover and trying to build an alliance.
It is also to be done for the Son of Heaven.
Let him know that Zhang Yue is really trying his best to assist his eldest grandson.
After Liu Jin heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "What the waiter said is a good thing!" ”
But then, he lowered his head and said with some frustration: "It's just a lonely person who doesn't know much about geography...... I'm afraid it's hard to take on the big responsibility! ”
His teachers rarely taught him geography in the past.
His life has always been the righteousness and righteousness.
Study why Confucius said that, and study the words and deeds of the ancient holy kings......
As for geography, strategy?
I'm afraid even the teachers themselves don't know anything.
"Your Highness, don't worry!" Zhang Yue immediately took out the draft map from his arms, handed it to Liu Jin, and said: "The minister has almost finished drawing the draft, just need His Highness to gather the sages and discuss the details, and then you can present Your Majesty's Imperial Palace!" ”
Liu Jin took the draft map, spread it out and looked at it, his mouth was wide open.
What kind of draft was there in front of his eyes?
It is clearly a picture of the world that has been completed close to eighty percent.
The winding Great Wall stretches from western Liaoning to Shuofang, and the barriers in Jiuquan, Zhangye and Juyan are horns of each other.
The river is majestic and rushes to the sea.
The state and county of the world are formed by victory.
What surprised Liu Jin even more was the Western Regions......
On this map, the 36 countries of the Western Regions, like dots and dots, are densely spread in the vast world west of Hexi.
In the distance, there are also the shadows of Kangju, Dayueshi (Guishan), body poison and other countries.
And in the lands of these exotic kingdoms, in addition to the name of the country, there are also some local specialty marks.
For example, Kangjuguo is marked: the fire cloth produced is more gold and jade.
The poisonous country is marked: there are mountains of gold and silver seas, and the people are weak.
The farther away the foreign land, there are more names of rest and Great Qin.
"Waiting......" Liu Jin looked at Zhang Yue: "This picture is almost finished...... Why bother to come to find Gu again and gather the sages? ”
He now seriously suspects that Zhang Yue is trying to give him credit and help him brush up his reputation.
Although he was very grateful to Zhang Yue for doing this, Liu Jin's heart was resistant.
He remembered again that he had stolen Zhang Yue's ambition for his own use.
I'm even more embarrassed.
"Your Highness doesn't know anything, what the minister paints is only the general situation of the world......" Zhang Yue said with a smile: "And the details of the state and county are not grasped......
"The minister's idea is to draw a detailed atlas listing the locations of the prefectures and counties in the world, and then compile a set of geographical chronicles that describe and introduce the local geographical features, specialties, and customs of the prefectures and counties in the world!"
Liu Jin listened, and his heart was also surging.
Although he was young, he also knew that if he could really map and map such a set of atlases and geographical records, he would dedicate them to his grandfather.
So......
Grandfather must be happy, and the rewards will continue one after another.
It's just that......
Liu Jin thought for a while and said to Zhang Yue: "Zhang Shizhong, can you go to Bowangyuan with Gu and ask my father to preside over this matter!" ”
As a filial son, Liu Jin immediately remembered his father.
Over the years, his father has been very unsatisfactory in front of his grandfather.
Every time they met, my grandfather had to reprimand and even scold.
Two years ago, the eunuch Chang Rong even tried to drive a wedge between his father and his grandfather, but fortunately, his grandfather noticed it and did not cause a catastrophe.
Now, with something that can win the favor of his grandfather, Liu Jin is of course the first to think of his father.
"Your Highness, slow ......down" Zhang Yue hurriedly grabbed this ancestor and said to him: "In this matter, the minister thinks that the family should not be involved......
"Why?" Liu Jin glared at Zhang Yue, his face full of puzzlement.
"Because, if the family is involved, I'm afraid that this matter will probably not be done......"
"Your Highness should know that inside and outside this palace, up and down the government and the opposition, I don't know how many people don't like their families......"
Liu Jin listened, first a little annoyed, but then sighed and sat down on the ground.
"Zhang Shizhong, do you know that if these words fall into the ears of others, I am afraid that Shizhong will inevitably be impeached......" Liu Jin looked at Zhang Yue and asked softly.
Zhang Yue hurriedly bowed: "Of course the minister knows......"
"But Your Majesty has the grace of knowing the minister, and His Royal Highness has friendship with the minister, and the minister hears: If the country lives and dies, how can it be avoided because of misfortune and fortune! If you eat Hanlu, you don't dare not be loyal! ”
Zhang Aiqing...... Brother Zhang ......" Liu Jin stepped forward, helped Zhang Yue up, held his hand, and said movingly: "Qing is Lonely's direct friend...... In this world, except for Qing, I'm afraid no one will say these things to Gu like this again......"
The people around him are either running trains with their mouths full, or they only know flattery.
Like Zhang Yue, who dared to speak out, broke some key pustules, and even risked being offended or even resented by himself, he dared to say such a sensitive matter directly.
Not a single one.
Until today, there is Zhang Yue.
That's why it's so precious!
"This is the duty of the minister!" Zhang Yue laughed softly: "Your Highness doesn't need to worry!" ”
It was only at this moment that Zhang Yue finally confirmed that Liu Jin could support him.
If everything is said for this part, Liu Jin will forcibly pull his father in.
That......
Zhang Yue had no choice but to run home quickly, pack up his things, and take his sister-in-law and Rou Niang to North Korea or Jiaozhi to avoid the limelight.
If the mud can't support the wall, why bother to support it?
But since Liu Jin can wake up and accept this reality, it shows that there is a lot to be done.
"However, Zhang Aiqing ......" Liu Jin took Zhang Yue's hand, and the two sat cross-legged on the ground: "What my father can't do, how can he do it?" ”
In his mind, those who oppose his father will also oppose him.
Zhang Yue listened, but smiled slightly: "Definitely! ”
"Your Highness, please listen carefully to the minister......"
Zhang Yue whispered in his ear and whispered.
Liu Jin listened, his eyebrows gradually stretched.
Because he found that if he did what Zhang Yue said, then it was likely that not only would this matter be successful, but it would also relieve his father of countless pressures, and maybe some people would turn back......
