Straight man of steel

Chapter 292

This time it was not Yan Yi who accompanied Zhang Yuan to Chang'an, but Luo Xiahong.

Luo Xiahong finally came to Du County from his hometown of Berkshire half a month ago. Zhang Yuan asked him to be a lecturer to share the pressure of Tangdu, but Luo Xiahong rejected him.

He said that his current knowledge is not enough to teach students, and he hopes to read those classics in Taixue to deepen his knowledge.

Although Zhang Yuan was a little helpless, he still agreed, as long as he could keep Luo Xiahong by his side.

The reason why he brought Luo Xiahong to Chang'an this time is because he knows how to read the sky, and maybe he can use the sky to counter Tian Fu's theory of destiny.

When they arrived in Chang'an, the rumors of destiny theory became even more ubiquitous.

Even some alchemists set up a platform, saying that it is not allowed to use human power to block the river mouth, which may cause even greater disasters.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuan and Luo Xiahong looked at each other, and then frowned.

Hurrying to the servant's mansion, Wei Qing was not by Liu Che's side today, but had been waiting for Zhang Yuan's arrival in the mansion.

"Brother Yuan, you are here, and this one?"

Wei Qing thought that Zhang Yuan had taken in another apprentice.

"This is Berkshire Luo Xiahong, who is very knowledgeable about the Heavenly Official's calendar. Maybe he can give us some help this time."

Zhang Yuan looked at Luo Xiahong and introduced to Wei Qing.

Wei Qing was a little surprised. Zhang Yuan in his impression didn't like to make friends with people, but these two times he came to Chang'an with a new face. Although Wei Qing had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask.

"Okay, let's go to the study first and then discuss."

"it is good."

Stepping into Wei Qing's study, in fact, there are not many books at all, but more swords.

This is the style of a great general, Zhang Yuan looked around and pulled Luo Xiahong to sit down.

"Young brother summoned me to Chang'an this time, probably because he failed to block the conversation."

Wei Qing nodded solemnly.

"Because of this failure, His Majesty doesn't seem to want to continue, so I want to ask Brother Yuan if you have any way to make His Majesty change his mind."

"It's impossible for Tian Fu's few words to change His Majesty's mind for such a big disaster. It's only been a month now, why is Your Majesty so impatient?"

"Brother Yuan, to tell you the truth, Cao Canal and Liufu Canal are being built in the Guan at the same time.

The land in Guanzhong is one-third of the world, and the population is only three-tenths, but it is rich, accounting for six-tenths.

Your Majesty wants to concentrate manpower and material resources to build the two canals in Guanzhong first. "

Zhang Yuan's head got bigger when he heard this, and he said that Yelang was arrogant or something, so it's not the same problem when he put it on himself.

As long as these emperors are rich in the places they can see, everyone can have enough food, regardless of the places they can't see.

Because as long as you can't see it, you can psychologically imply yourself, then it doesn't exist.

"No one can reverse His Majesty's intentions, this matter is difficult."

Zhang Yuan lifted his forehead and said with a sigh.

During the past month, Zhang Yuan had someone ask why he didn't open an artificial river in the form of diversion, but the result was that Liu Che didn't think it was possible.

It is said that the reason why the Yellow River has been flowing into the ocean is all because of Yu's guidance.

Dayu is a sage, he must think about the eternity when he does things, and the gods in the sky must know and agree.

In this way, Liu Che himself, as a sage, at least he thinks so, cannot change Dayu's intentions. If he does so, it will be contrary to the way of a sage.

When the emperor is so stubborn, what else can Zhang Yuan say?
This is really one person decides the life and death of thousands of people.

Did Liu Che know he was wrong?Zhang Yuan felt that he must know, otherwise he would never agree with Tian Fu's so-called destiny theory.

The common people are so foolish, as long as this kind of remarks come out, everyone will feel that there is a reason for failure.

If Liu Che had to choose to admit his mistake at this time or 1000 million people would die, Liu Che would have to choose between the two. Zhang Yuan believed that Liu Che would definitely choose 1000 million people to die.

"Since Brother Yuan has no choice, we have no choice but to donate all the food now, and you and I will go to see His Majesty together tomorrow."

Seeing that he couldn't help much this trip, Luo Xiahong drooped his head, looking very depressed.

"What's special about the recent astrology?"

Zhang Yuan did not respond to Wei Qing for the time being, but asked Luo Xiahong.

But Luo Xiahong shook his head. There was nothing special about the astrology at this time, which meant that the Yellow River breach was not God's fault.

It was precisely this reason that Zhang Yuan brought Luo Xiahong with him.

"Young Brother, has Your Majesty ever asked the Heavenly Official?"

Wei Qing shook his head.

"Only asked the alchemist."

Zhang Yuan was stunned. Asking the heavenly officials was considered a superstition, but in the end, he didn’t even ask the heavenly officials to ask the alchemists.

"Your Majesty is so obsessed with alchemists, I'm afraid that bringing Luo Xiahong into the palace will not make His Majesty change his mind."

"Anyway, there is no good way. After entering the palace tomorrow, let's see if we can influence His Majesty's mind."

"That's all it can do right now."

Because it was a catastrophic year, everyone in the imperial servant's mansion deducted expenses. Even with Zhang Yuan here, Wei Qing didn't throw a big banquet, but just bought some simple food.

Zhang Yuan didn't mind as long as he could fill his stomach. The disaster victims in the sixteen counties in the east would have a hard time keeping their lives, let alone filling their stomachs.

Early the next morning, Luo Xiahong was left at the servant's mansion.

Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing went to Jianzhang Palace to attend the court meeting.

Zhang Yuan was a new character, he didn't see him twice a year, so when he came, he attracted everyone's attention.

After Tian Fu saw it, he guessed a little bit in his heart, stepped forward and said with a cold snort.

"Because of the old love, let me advise you a few words, don't put your mind on the matter of Dongjun."

Zhang Yuan would not clash with Tian Fu in public, he cupped his hands and said with a smile.

"The lower officials remember the words of the princes.

Thinking of the love in the past, Xiaguan also reminded Junhou a word.

Be careful of Mr. Jifu around you. "

Zhang Yuan has already faced an assassination, maybe it was Ji Fu's idea later, it is impossible to continue to show mercy.

Tian Fu didn't know what Zhang Yuan meant by saying this, and wanted to keep asking, but Liu Che had already entered the hall.

"His Majesty is here."

"I pay homage to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty."

"My lords, take your seats."

All the ministers walked back to their seats and knelt down.

Liu Che glanced at the officials below. Although Zhang Yuan was sitting in the front row, Liu Che didn't notice because his head was kept down.
