Knowing that speaking out was likely to provoke the emperor, he had to speak, and in the silent game just now, this person had been pushed out by the family.

In other words, in exchange for everyone's right to express their opinions, this price is definitely worth it, and it will win more benefits for the family.

And after this incident, he just took a break for a while, waited for the limelight, and casually released a position, or he could make a comeback in a few years.

Liu Zhi smiled expressionlessly, and did not express any opinions, let alone thunder as they expected.

"Do you have any other opinions?"

When it comes to this, the emperor is still the same, and there is no one who is tired.

Everyone looked at each other, they were a little helpless, and it was impossible to drag it endlessly when it came to this, Yuan Xu, who was standing at the front, glanced at Hu Guang and motioned for him to come forward to speak.

Anyway, the minister of the court is the oldest, and he has always been with the mud, so he relies on the old man to sell the old once, as a veteran of the four dynasties who is about to retire, for such a trivial matter, the emperor can't do anything to him.

"Ahem......"

Hu Guang cleared his throat and was about to speak, but the emperor smiled and said, "What's wrong with Scholar Hu, is he sick." Do you want to call a doctor to take a look? ”

Although his face looked normal, Hu Guang was already timid and couldn't stand the fright, and when he was interrupted by this, the courage he had just mustered disappeared immediately.

He smiled and replied rather flatteringly: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, the old minister is just an old problem, and he can still insist on being loyal to the country." ”

He was frightened back then, when the Empress Dowager Liang and Cao Teng worked together to rectify his wrongs, causing him to be "beaten" by a shortbread.

Since then, he has retired from the position of Tai Lieutenant, and has lived in seclusion for several years, if it weren't for Liang Budo's efforts to protect it later, I am afraid that he would have been unknown until now.

Hu Guang is old, sleek and timid, and what is worse is that he has no political position at all.

Today is just a hindrance, but I don't really agree with the emperor, but at this time, I received Liu Zhi's warning, so I naturally turned around.

lest he retire and be swept away by His Majesty to the end, then his reputation will be ruined.

Yuan Xuan and the others couldn't help but be angry when they saw his cowardice, they really shouldn't expect this wall grass, they were simply looking for unhappiness.

Seeing that things had reached an impasse, Yuan Xuan sighed helplessly, just do it, today I want to make the emperor hold a grudge, and I have to stop him from going his own way.

Just as he was about to speak, suddenly a person stood up from the side of the desk, shook his sleeves, and said with a straight face.

"Your Majesty is so insistent, is there something unspeakable?"

Everyone looked at each other in unison, and this question was ...... It's straightforward.

The person who spoke was Chen Fan, and the relationship between him and the emperor had always been deep, and seeing His Majesty so stubborn, and thinking about all the things he had insisted on over the years, no matter how absurd it seemed at the time, they were all proved correct in the end.

Although this matter is not worth looking at in any way, if the great drought that has lasted for 100 years in the northwest is really established, then everything becomes a matter of course.

Not only that, but this matter can even be called a far-reaching grand plan that will affect the pattern of the court for the next few hundred years.

Over the years, His Majesty has proven to have an extraordinary ability to predict certain things.

Because of this, the court even recognized Liu Zhi as the chosen emperor, and came into being in order to save the Han Dynasty who was trapped in fire and water.

Liu Zhi sighed, "If I tell you, in the future, there will be a great drought in the northwest, and the people will not be able to make a living, and everywhere will become a desert.

In desperation, the ethnic groups in the northwest can only continue to move south, compete with the Zhongyuan people for living space, and even break out into a civil war. ”

This statement is indeed too absurd, but the person who spoke was Liu Zhi, the supreme emperor of the Han Dynasty.

There was a strange silence in the court, and seeing that it was almost noon, Liu Zhi waved his sleeves and scattered directly, and without waiting for the results of the ministers, he swaggered away.

A good court meeting started vigorously and ended inexplicably, which made people helpless.

With Liu Zhi's current control of the country, the entire imperial court combined cannot confront him.

But now the important ministers in the court are all raised by Liu Zhi, and many of them are honest and loyal people, and they will not blindly obey their own principles because they are loyal to the emperor.

In particular, Chen Fan, Li Ying, Chen Yu, Xun Shuang, and so on are very principled, and they will always think about the interests of the country.

This matter is really related to the national strength of the entire Han Dynasty, so we have to be cautious, and it is too child's play to press the future on an ethereal prediction.

Therefore, he and they are all in a dilemma, whether they agree or disagree, it is somewhat difficult to decide.

Xun Shuang entered the palace that night to ask for a meeting, although Liu Zhi was not surprised by this, but before that, he had always thought that the first person to come to him should be Chen Fan.

"Your Majesty, even if the prediction you said is true, the large-scale Upper Northwest Water Conservancy Project is still in a hurry."

This sounded a little interesting, Liu Zhi nodded lazily and motioned for him to continue.

"As Your Majesty said, the future great drought in the northwest will last for one or two hundred years, and it will take little by little to create an uncontrollable situation in the future.

Therefore, Dahan still has plenty of time, and he can make a reasonable plan and do what he can step by step in stages.

Moreover, in order to solve the impact of the drought on the northwest, in addition to building water conservancy projects, there should be other supporting policies to truly solve this crisis. ”

Xun Shuang once served as a county magistrate in the northernmost part of Hungarian Prefecture for several years, and his understanding of that side was much deeper than Liu Zhi's.

Therefore, his suggestion is very pertinent, Liu Zhi frequently bows his head, and the scene he made in the court today is not to force the court to agree to all his requests.

It's to take a step back, but also to force them to work together and find a way to help him solve the conflict.

"What Xun Qing said is very reasonable, then you might as well help me come up with an idea, how to repair this water conservancy project, and what kind of supporting policies should there be?"

Since Xun Shuang stood up, he was naturally confident, and he had already made a detailed plan.

Hearing that Liu Zhi was finally relieved, he immediately talked eloquently.

"Your Majesty's great drought in the northwest has developed step by step, and it is impossible for it to reach the point of being out of control in the last one or two decades.

Therefore, what the imperial court needs to do at present is to alleviate the drought, not to completely solve the drought. ”

Seeing that Liu Zhi did not object, Xun Shuang's confidence increased greatly, and then gave him advice.

"If the goal is to alleviate the drought, the whole thing becomes much easier, and only part of the diversion channel needs to be built.

In addition, it can be taken to repair and dredge the existing river channels, and dig more wells to solve the drinking water problem.

In addition, river embankments can be built on both banks, trees can be planted to maintain water and soil, etc., and the drinking water of the people in the northwest can be ensured first. ”

"And then?"

The early plan is indeed good and safe, but if you can't keep up with the follow-up, it won't help.
