The emperor's mind is as deep as the sea, and a smile can determine the life and death of people, and the rise and fall of the world.

"Look at it, look at it! What are you doing here? Liu Yan's face suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny, and he made a flat gesture, and then said meaningfully, "Get up quickly!" The four of you are the pillars of the future country, the ministers of the crown prince, and more importantly, the four of you are all public-minded, and I have handed over my son to you, which is equivalent to handing over the future luck of the empire to you, what else is there to worry about you? Hahaha, get up, call you here today, one is not accountable, the other is not asked, let's talk about the monarch and ministers, talk casually, it has nothing to do with it. ”

Irrelevant? An emperor with a grand ambition and hard work will come to you to find four young people with low official positions to be idle and bored?

Oh, naïve! In officialdom, if you can't even distinguish this kind of prevarication, then it's better to go home and cultivate the land as soon as possible.

The four of them returned to the banquet tremblingly, and Liu Yan lay on his side on the mink blanket again, and said lazily, "Sharpening the wings, using the cold door, collecting the soldiers' armor, and leveling the private food, this is the long-term strategy to pacify the family and protect the peace and health of the family and the country." Those who know my thoughts, my teacher Lu Xiangye! ”

The four people in the hall bowed their hands together, "Lu Xiang's ingenuity is clear, and Your Majesty's sacred heart is sharp." Weichen admires! ”

Sycophant, beautiful!

Liu Yan smiled, rubbed his sideburns, sat upright, grabbed two chilled sand fruits, wiped the skin of the fruit with the corner of his clothes, and sighed, "I, Lu Xiang, who has hidden needles in the cotton, know that I don't want to see the tide of the world rushing around, so I am sure that I will definitely choose the next strategy, so I directly started more than 100 games in various states and counties for me, an unsuccessful student. Now six years have passed, the clans distributed in the north and south of the world are not stupid, this game of chess to the present, all the conspiracies have long become yang conspiracy, some of the clans are happy to support the elderly, some hide in Tibet, some to retreat as advance, some huddle together for warmth, this game of chess can not see the ending, it is really interesting! ”

When he said this, Ran Min quietly glanced at Liu Yan with minimal movements, and saw that Liu Yan's face was not shocked, and he looked confident, and he couldn't help but be impressed by Liu Yan's grace and fierce ambition.

Liu Yan looked at the fruit with both eyes, gnawed it carefully, and said in a full voice, "Looking at the future of the empire, there are calm and turbulent waves; There are great rivers flowing, and there are turbulent clouds flying across. Throughout the past and present, countries have often been the most difficult in two times, one is poverty and weakness, and the other is revitalization and development. Nowadays, although there are troubles within the empire, but all industries are thriving, people are thriving, it is the time for our generation to set sail and show their ambitions, the more we must have a rock-solid determination to deal with the storm, through the stormy waves, to win the initiative, to win the future. ”

Liu Yan put down the fruit, full of pride, "I have the confidence and courage to fight hard with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and create a prosperous era of Datong, in my lifetime, I will wear Mingguang armor, carry a sword at my waist, command a million army, and Daqin will hunt the northern frontier and fight for the first place in the world!" ”

The vision is big! Heart-stirring! Boost morale!

Liu Yan's shocking words satisfied all the longings and yearning of the four people in the audience for their own plans and the long-term vision of the empire, and they all got up and saluted in unison, "I am willing to serve Your Majesty!" ”

At this time, Liu Yan smiled in his heart, and from then on, the hearts of these four people belonged to him!

Liu Yan's grasp of people's hearts can not be described as inaccurate!

After a great deal of righteousness, Liu Yi motioned for the four of them to sit down, and then picked up a fruit from the plate, and said slowly while playing with it, "What do you think about the construction of the rainbow canal and the Feng canal by Lu Xiang?" Xie An, you have been in the limelight all these years, not only in the market and Liu Quansheng are called 'Ansheng in the world', but also my favorite prince's side teacher, and also the seed candidate for the future prime minister of the empire, come on, come on, you talk about it first! ”

Xie Anren did not leave the table, bowed his head and bowed his hand, and said cautiously, "Your Majesty's thoughts, the humble ministers dare not speculate, but the humble ministers think that the rivers and mountains are the people, the people are the rivers and mountains, and the construction of the big canal is a matter of merit in the present and the benefit of the future, even if it will consume the national strength in the short term, but it can also be more and better, the Hongqu north passes through six counties and nineteen counties, and the Fengqu south passes four counties and twenty-eight counties, if it is completed, four million people can benefit from it, and the others are not counted, this is the right move to stabilize the country!" Your Majesty is wise. ”

Xie An's intentions are very right, never engage in those crooked ways, never take shortcuts, in his eyes, to achieve the supreme cause, must be like the old Qin Shang Yang hundreds of years ago, 'extremely unconcerned, do the public and not care about the self', in this way, the name is right, and he himself is at ease.

Therefore, although he has seen some obscure conspiracies and tricks in court affairs thoroughly, he never mentions them, as long as these things do not hurt the country, he has always stayed away from them and ignored them.

Liu Yan had heard that Xie An had a straightforward personality, so he was naturally not satisfied with this answer, he shook his nose and turned to look at Huan Wen, "If it's anything else, what about it?" Huan Wen, you say. ”

Huan Wen's eyes rolled, he thought about it for three breaths, and said, "Your Majesty, there are two great benefits for these others." ”

Liu Yan squinted his eyes and said, "Speak." ”

Huan Wen cleared his throat and said, "This first big profit is to open up the military road, Hongqu north to Muzhou, Fengqu south to Poyang, if the end of the battle opens, the capital guards and military equipment along the way can go straight down the canal, you can arrive in three days, you can calm the chaos inside, and you can resist the enemy outside. ”

Liu Yi bowed slightly.

Huan Wen saw that Liu Yan affirmed his assertion, his heart was excited, and he raised his head and said again, "The second is to lure the snake out of the hole, Weichen has made a rough calculation based on the construction scale, labor, materials and other factors of the two canals, and the money allocated by the Finance and Decision Division is fully one-fifth more than the accounts due. In addition to being surprised, the minister thought that the route chosen by the two canals was slightly avoided and heavy, and opened the map to study carefully, and there were as many as thirteen families along the way, which shows that His Majesty's intention is to use the name of repairing the canal to attract some insatiable, cruel people, and profit-hungry clans to take action, so as to become famous, get rid of some disasters for the people, and seek some peace! ”

After Huan Wen finished speaking, Liu Yan laughed and said loudly, "A few days ago, I set up a banquet at Chen Tan on the bank of the Weishui River, and talked with an old man. Seeing Xie Aiqing and Huan Aiqing talking today, it can be seen that what the first two Lao Suo said is true! ”

After speaking, Liu Yan restrained his smile, raised his eyebrows obliquely, swept his big eyes, and looked directly at Lu Ling and Ran Min, without seeing a trace of joy and anger.

Lu Lingren did not raise his head, the words had already floated, his people were full of ambition, and his words stopped ringing, "Your Majesty, looking at the ancient things, there are no difficulties and losses, and there are many difficulties and prosperity." Meng Ziyun 'the people of the domain do not use the boundaries of the frontier, the country does not take the risk of mountains and streams, and the world does not take the benefits of the military revolution', and the ministers are shallow, and they want to ensure that the foundation of our empire is evergreen, not in the soldiers, not in the city, not in the territory, but in the hearts of the people. ”

This sentence reached Liu Yan's heart, and Liu Yan's deep pupils suddenly had a trace of tenderness, and he muttered, "It's easy to fight the country and it's difficult to defend the country, and you will find out that you are guarding the hearts of the people." ”
