The chamberlain whispered: "Back to Your Majesty, the little one doesn't know ......"

Lu Chengqi didn't have the heart to embarrass a little eunuch, and said, "That's it, let's announce his audience!" ”

After the little chamberlain and Gao Hao withdrew, they walked into the vertical arch hall alone, and it was Chen Xun, who had just been promoted to the Fuwen Pavilion to be systematized. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info This Fuwen Pavilion is a fictitious position, but it is a better name and more Lu, after all, it is the nominal official of the third grade. As for the actual position, Chen Xun is still the supervisor of Qintian, and this has not changed. Making the best use of talents and materials is the principle of Lu Cheng's use of people. Since Chen Xun's specialty is to read feng shui and predict the weather, let him continue to be this Qintian supervisor.

"Wait, predict the weather?" Lu Chengqi's heart suddenly moved, and he had an idea.

"Minister Chen Xun, see Your Majesty!"

Seeing Chen Xun saluting meticulously, Lu Chengqi also said solemnly: "Chen Qing is exempt from courtesy, come here, give me a seat!" ”

After a few small waiters brought chairs, brought tea tables, and then withdrew, Chen Xun thanked him and sat down.

"Chen Qing wants to see me, but what's the matter?" Although Lu Chengqi guessed a few points, he still asked.

Chen Xun said: "Your Majesty, the minister's request to see him this time is for this morning's example. ”

"The Yellow River controls the water?"

Lu Chengqi had already guessed a little, but he didn't know what Chen Xun's "high opinions" were, so he casually asked, "What can Chen Qing do?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister watched the sky last night and thought that this rain was bound to be set soon, and there was no need to worry about ......the Yellow River flooding this year," Chen Xun said with a swear, very determined. This is the confidence of "professionals", where do you dare to pack tickets if you change someone!

Lu Chengqi also knew that the ancients summarized many natural phenomena, and through some clues, it was not difficult to accurately predict the weather. Chen Xun said that it was "watching the sky at night", but Lu Chengqi didn't believe it. He must have had some way to predict that the rain would not last long. But this is people's ability to eat, and Lu Chengqi will not expose it. Hearing that he was so sure, Lu Chengqi could be regarded as half relieved.

"I'm not worried that the rain can't stop, but I'm worried that the river can't be controlled! Since the establishment of the Dashun Dynasty, the Yellow River has broken more than 30 times. Every time the crossing was broken, the people were displaced and starved to death. If it weren't for that, I would be able to achieve more than that. In the first two years, although I sent the Ministry of Industry to Shangshu Li Jie, he had full authority to control the water. However, the Yellow River has a lot of silt, and the sediment fills the river, and it cannot be treated urgently. Two years have passed, and tens of millions of dollars have been spent, but little has been achieved. Although I can withstand it for a while, I can't withstand it for a lifetime. If there is no progress, hundreds of officials will jointly play a joint petition to impeach Li Jie, and I will be an arbitrary ruling program, and I will not be able to keep Li Jie! ”

Chen Xun pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty, according to legend, Yao ordered Kun to control the water, Kun only knew how to fill and fill, and it didn't work in nine years, Shun succeeded to the throne, first reformed the position of Kun, exiled to Yushan, and Kun died." Yu, the son of Kun, was trained by his father's failure to control the water, and switched to the method of grooming, which was finally completed after thirteen years. ”

Lu Chengqi glanced at him lightly and said, "Chen Qing is saying that the ancients can win the sky, and the people of today can also win the sky?" ”

Chen Xun hurriedly said: "No, the minister means that in ancient times, Dayu could control the water, and because of its situation, it turned blockage into sparseness." In Chen's view, this is just a similar to 'diverting water to replenish the foundation, Peilong to replenish sand' in feng shui, all of which are people transforming feng shui. ”

Lu Chengqi was stunned: "This Yellow River is also feng shui?" ”

Chen Xun explained: "There is a cloud in the "Funeral Sutra": 'Qi is dispersed by the wind, and the boundary water is stopped, and the ancients gather to make it not disperse, and the line is stopped, so it is called feng shui, the law of feng shui, the water is the first, and the Tibetan wind is second. 'The mountains are the might, and the water is the gods. The mountain is the dragon, and the water is the blood of the dragon. The dragon vein is the image of the terrain with mountains and waters, majestic and affectionate. If we talk about the flat ocean, one inch high, one inch of potential, especially the river system. In short, to get water and shelter from the wind. A place with good feng shui must be a place with good water, and it must also shelter from the wind. Because the wind disperses, and the water gathers. In ancient times, the land of the Central Plains, the terrain was flat, there were many lakes, the climate was suitable, the vegetation was lush, the birds and beasts were reproduced, and our Chinese people were able to multiply. This must be attributed to Dayu, if there is no water control, the Central Plains is still flooded. ”

Lu Chengqi frowned: "In this case, why is the Yellow River still flooding now?" ”

Chen Xun sighed and said: "Feng Shui said: The water slut is poor, although the Yellow River has nine curves, but the hair does not exist, and the skin will be attached?" The veins of the mountains, the soil is the flesh of the dragon, the stone is the bones of the dragon, and the grass is the hair of the dragon. Fortunately, His Majesty's benevolent government will keep the grass and trees of the Central Plains, if the grass and trees do not exist on different days, the Yellow River will be weakened, the north will be barren, and the momentum will inevitably cross to the south. The rise of the Yangtze River is a result, and the dragon vein will move south or north, and the dragon qi of Dashun will no longer be! ”

Hearing this, Lu Chengqi's heart jumped suddenly. From the perspective of protecting the environment and reducing the sediment of the Yellow River, he ordered the planting of trees. Chen Xun's words just hit his weakest point. Others may not believe it, but Lu Chengqi knows that the Loess Plateau in later generations is really the world of loess, and there is no life at all!

"Then according to what Chen Qing said, what should I do?" Lu Chengqi had to lower his body and ask Chen Xun for advice. At this time, Lu Chengqi finally understood that Feng Shui is actually a science packaged with ghosts and gods, because there are so many foolish men and fools at this time, and they don't need to be packaged by ghosts and gods, how can they believe it? I don't believe in feng shui, and the feng shui masters have gone to drink the northwest wind. This is determined by the conditions of survival, not the fault of Feng Shui itself.

"The water nature belongs to yin, soft, flat, quiet, slow, flexing, bending, and stagnating, which is the expression of its true nature, and belongs to the water of sentient beings. On the contrary, the water is too urgent, rushing, roaring, running straight, reversing the bow, and shooting holes, just like the anger of the lion in the east of the river, it is ruthless water. The same is true of the taste of water, if it is bitter and astringent, it must be very unlucky. If its taste is sweet, its color is bright, its fragrance is clear, the clearer it is, the more turbid it is, the spring and summer are not full, and the autumn and winter are not dry. The summer is cool and cold, and the four seasons are clear, which is naturally the best water, and it is also the manifestation of the dragon's vigorous energy. Water is the manifestation of qi, and if the sound is like thunder, like a mallet drum, like crying, like sadness, it is a bad omen. Such auspicious water can be called Liquan. The ancients, the virtue of the sage, the upper and too clear, the lower and the too shou, the middle and the ten thousand spirits, then the spring flows. The water of Liquan, ** near, is a place of great wealth; There is this spring water in the Yang house, and the people drink it, and they are rich and long-lived. Your Majesty, although the water of the Yellow River has nine twists and turns, it has been diverted many times, like a wild horse that has escaped from the reins, and it cannot be tamed easily. Its momentum is like thunder, the dragon is galloping, it seems to be affectionate, but it is actually ruthless. If you let it go freely, but only a hundred years, the gas will be exhausted, and the scene of prosperity will come to an abrupt end......"

Lu Chengqi was really convinced, and Chen Xun judged the historical trend of the next hundred years from the perspective of feng shui, which was not much different from the historical process he knew. According to the development of the Northern Song Dynasty, less than a hundred years, it was the shame of Jingkang, the Northern Song Dynasty came to an abrupt end, and later the Southern Song Dynasty was established south of the Yangtze River. Isn't this exactly the "abrupt end of the prosperous era"!

"Governance, we must govern the Yellow River! Chen Qing has great talents, but is he willing to help Li Jie to manage the Yellow River well and benefit thousands of people? Lu Chengqi made up his mind, not for the sake of Dashun the world, but also for the sake of the Han people, being ruled by the Jin people and the Mongols is definitely not what the Han people want. At this moment, he had already made up his mind that no matter how many obstacles he encountered, he would control the Yellow River.

Chen Xun hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying, "I am willing to go!" (To be continued.) )
