Chapter 39: Shocking the Emperor
Liu Che's eyes lit up. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Regarding the peace policy of the Han Dynasty from the Gaozu period, the little emperor has long had the intention to change his course.
Now listening to Yan Ming's statement, I suddenly feel that it is too late to meet him.
"You're right, after the Wenjing Second Dynasty, the national strength of my Han Dynasty has been thriving. Even if you start a war against the Huns now, you will not necessarily lose. It's just that all the ministers in the court have lost their fighting spirit, and they are bent on relying on the women of my Han to maintain peace. Liu Che looked a little excited as he spoke.
A 'me' that was covered up by Liu Che still caught Yan Ming's attention.
Facing this Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was about the same age as himself, Yan Ming had long lost the historical understanding of this emperor. At this moment, his chest was also filled with a sense of blood.
After calming down, Yan Ming said: "Whether it's peace or conquest." The Huns will not give up. It's just the difference between asking for too much little by little, or attacking aggressively. β
"Qingβplease go on, what you said is very true." The little emperor Liu Che was a little excited, and Li Guangsheng, who was harmed, was afraid that this emperor with a fiery personality would be unable to hold back and expose his identity.
After all, this is Maolingtun, far away from Chang'an, once there is any risk, it is not something that can be borne by losing your head.
Yan Ming picked up the wine glass, took a sip and said: "Regarding the general direction of the Huns, if I am an important minister in the court, I will consider a completely long-term strategy.
Huns, it's not that you can't fight. But it depends on how to fight. After all, after the recuperation of the two Shengming Emperors of Wenjing, my Han Dynasty has just had a strong trend. It should also be kept in obscurity for a while. The so-called outside must first settle inside, only the inside of a group, in order to make a difference. β
Liu Che nodded, and he deeply felt the same as Yan Ming's saying that if you don't want to go outside, you must first settle inside.
Now, although the government is gradually in his hands, the real power is actually in the hands of the old Empress Dowager Dou. Even his own mother, the Queen Mother, also had many restraints on him.
Liu Che opened his mouth, wanting to talk to Yan Ming about being overweight and hungry.
Li Guang coughed a few times on the side.
Liu Che understood that he was a private interview with Weifu, and it was not easy to ask too much about national affairs, which aroused Yan Ming's suspicion. But he is an arbitrary and lonely person, once he is not affected by his own temperament, how can he be comfortable?
"In your opinion, when is the best time to use troops against the Huns?" Liu Che asked.
Yan Ming rolled his eyes and looked at Liu Che, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and said: "When will the Han Dynasty have a group of fierce generals who dare to fight externally, and there will be a group of good ministers who can govern the world and develop the economy internally, then the time will come." β
"Fierce general, good minister? How hard is it? Liu Che sighed.
Li Guang in the back heard the word fierce general, and two fiery lights shot out of his eyes.
He was bent on relying on military merits to become a marquis, but when he followed Zhou Yafu to quell the rebellion of the Eight Kings, he privately accepted a reward from Liu Wu, the king of Liang, which caused the marquis who should have been in his hands at that time to disappear.
Since then, although he has repeatedly fought on the border and fought dozens of battles with the Huns, although he has not been defeated, he has not won either. As a result, it has not been able to be sealed.
Li Guang, who thinks he is a fierce general of a generation, is particularly sensitive after hearing the word fierce general. At this moment, he felt that as a general, his spring seemed to be coming.
Li Guang's changes, Yan Ming keenly captured.
For Li Guang, Yan Ming doesn't like it, and he doesn't dislike it. It's just that Sima Qian exaggerated Li Guangming's aura excessively, and used his identity as a relative to directly cover up the aura that Wei Qinghuo should have, which made Yan Ming a little uncomfortable.
Today's chat with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che made Yan Ming's mind move.
Now that we have come to this era, we can't think about our own glory and wealth.
If history is allowed to develop according to the old path, wouldn't it be necessary for the people of the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu to fight endlessly, with heavy casualties?
If history is allowed to develop, wouldn't it be necessary to watch Huo Quzhi, a rising star, be destroyed by the Huns' plague strategy?
If history is allowed to develop, wouldn't the originally filial prince Liu Ju still be killed by Jiang Chong, a villain?
Thinking of this, Yan Ming clenched his fists fiercely. The brow is furrowed.
Liu Che seemed to see the anger in Yan Ming's eyes, and asked, "Is there anything Brother Yan is worried about?" β
Yan Ming glanced at Liu Che and said with a smile: "It's not that there are always villagers who come to listen to the class, and the courtyard of my house has collapsed." That's what worries me. β
Liu Che looked at him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and shook his head.
For Yan Ming, Liu Che had already seen clearly that this person would definitely not be angry because of the collapse of the courtyard wall. Listening to him, he is also a lover. It should be the same as himself, angry for the Huns.
"This time to stay at the Yan family, it is really a blessing in my life!" Liu Che raised his glass and drank it all.
Yan Ming also raised his glass and said, "I can let my brother spend the night, and the Yan family is also full of brilliance." β
"The Yan family has a school, I heard that it is very famous, tell me what you have learned?" Liu Che no longer talked about national affairs, but shifted the topic to Yan Ming's school.
Speaking of the school, Yan Ming's eyes immediately lit up, and he roughly explained what the children of Hongyan Hall have learned now.
When Liu Che heard what physical chemistry some older children were going to study, he felt novel.
He is an emperor who loves to read, and he only knows how to read Confucianism, Taoism, military and other philosophical categories, but he does not know much about these specific scientific and technological disciplines.
The two of them also had a full meal. At this time, it is the sun in the west, and the scene has not yet set below the horizon, which is warm and comfortable.
Yan Ming simply pulled Liu Che to his field.
He wanted to improve the lives of the people of the Han Dynasty, and these rudimentary things must be seen by this little emperor.
Li Guang and the others left when they saw Yan Ming pulling the emperor, and the emperor did not object. They couldn't stop it, so they had to follow closely.
On the fork of the small river behind Maolingtun, there is a waterwheel standing tall not far away.
Under the impact of the river's flow, the water wheel slowly rotates, irrigating the water from the river directly through the bamboo and wood waterway to the surrounding farmland.
In early spring, there are mostly dry days. In most fields, the seedlings have just broken the ground.
And the piece of land that Yan Ming took Liu Che to watch was full of vitality. The corn had grown more than a foot tall. The potato seedlings are also half a foot tall.
Even those tobacco seedlings have already revealed their embryonic shape.
Liu Che's eyes fell on the waterwheel at once, and he watched with interest as the waterwheel moved along the water, irrigating the water into the fields one by one.
"Who made this good thing?" Not only Liu Che was surprised, but Li Guang also asked.
The guards behind Li Guang also looked at the waterwheel excitedly.
"If my family had this kind of thing the year before last, it wouldn't have been guarding the river and letting the seedlings dry up and almost no harvest!" One of the guards said excitedly.
China has been an agrarian country since ancient times. Successive emperors attached great importance to agriculture.
"My little brother designed this thing, and my carpenter built it. As for some subsequent improvements, it was my Hongyantang students who made a little contribution. Yan Ming said indifferently.
"What?" Liu Che was a little stunned. He didn't believe that the students of Hongyantang could improve something that seemed close to perfection to him.
"That's what you call physical chemistry?" After a while, Liu Che asked.
Yan Ming nodded and said, "This thing is mostly used in physics." β
"You, Hongyantang, are simply the treasure of the country!" Liu Che muttered.
