In the Xuanmuro Temple.

Taishi Ling Sima Tan lowered his head and quietly listened to the description of the Son of Heaven above.

"I took a lunch break today, fell into a dream in a trance, dreamed of a pulsatilla, and said to me: Look here!"

Pulsatilla?

In the history of the Han dynasty, the only emperor who lived to be sixty years old was Liu Bang, the founder of the country, Emperor Taizu Gao.

Whether it is the present, the past, or the future, in the history of the Han Dynasty, when you meet a pulsatilla and say XXXX, or dream of a pulsatilla saying xxxxxx to yourself, basically, this pulsatilla can be directly replaced by Emperor Gao Liu Bang.

Even later, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and played such a trick - he dreamed of a pulsatilla and granted him the authority of the Han family.

Therefore, after the three words pulsatilla came out of the mouth of the Son of Heaven, everyone concentrated their minds, pricked up their ears, and listened attentively and quietly, not daring to miss any of the next words.

Such a strange behavior may belong to the exclusive game of neurosis in later generations.

But today, it is as unshakable as gravity.

Chinese who worship ancestors have 10 million reasons to believe that their ancestors will surely protect their children and grandchildren in the dark.

Liu Che described it quietly and straightforwardly, and said: "I followed the guidance of the pulsatilla in my dream, and saw the storm, an unprecedented terrifying storm, coming from the sea, sweeping everything, destroying the houses in the air, uprooting the big trees, even the city wall, was also blown down, and finally, I saw the king of Jiangdu crying on the collapsed city wall, and the people were panicked......

The dream described by Liu Che. Let everyone who hears it only feel a chill down their spine. Creeps.

Undoubtedly, just a warning.

This is Emperor Gao's early warning!

There is a precedent for this. Three years ago, on the eve of Wu Chu's rebellion, didn't Jin Shang also dream that the comet would go out of the west and the sky would sow the sun?

Therefore, immediately a dream interpretation expert who was invited to Weiyang Palace stood up and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this dream was undoubtedly the dream of Emperor Gao at that time. This is a divine warning, please prepare your Majesty as soon as possible! ”

In this matter, the risk taken by dream interpretation experts is almost infinitely close to zero.

In other words, whatever they say, even if it turns out in the end, it's all fake, even nonsense.

It is also difficult for the royal family to punish them.

It's like the economists of later generations. Governments have raised a whole bunch of them.

These guys are full of brains, and there is even a presence that brings their respective countries into the pit.

However, have any of them been convicted or tried for it?

The truth is the same.

The rhetoric of the bricks, in fact. It is to express the meaning of the ruling class or some or most of the people in the ruling group.

The ruling class of this world, there are very few stupid people.

And the ruler is a huge group in itself.

Aspects. Relevant people, think tanks and staff, these people exist. Enough to persuade those who have been fooled to come back.

In other words, the state power that has been deceived in the eyes of the people. In fact, he has never been fooled at all.

They were fooled only because, the ruling circles themselves wanted so.

The same is true now.

If Liu Che and Donggong didn't believe what this expert said, then even if he said that the spit was dry, it would be useless.

A qualified emperor, first of all, is a calm and self-contained person.

Like Qin Shi Huang, even if he breaks through the city wall, he will not look back.

After listening to this person's words, Liu Che didn't need to announce the result immediately without hurrying - if he did that, it would be too ugly to eat, and it would be easy for smart people to see that he was tired.

Political things, no matter what, since it starts, then the acting has to be played in full.

Like Sima, he can't wait to reveal his ambitions and goals, and the final result can only tell the world: Sima's heart is known to passers-by.

Although it was finally defeated, this incident is enough to warn all those who are interested in the big position or sit on the big seat in the future: dear, you can't be too anxious!

Liu Che turned his gaze to the others and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Another 'expert' who was invited to come immediately stood up and said, "Returning to Your Majesty, I think that Your Majesty's dream should also be a warning omen from the gods......

Other 'experts' chimed in.

It's not that they don't want to play tricks and disagree.

It was really the tricks that Liu Che played three years ago that made them lose room for dissent.

The 'experts' can be irresponsible for what they say.

But, for those of them, fame is everything.

No one wants to gamble everything they have to brush up on the prestige of an absolute defeat in the end.

Therefore, on this issue, the 'experts', who were originally full of contradictions and ideologies, are unprecedentedly unanimous.

Even Taishi Ling Sima Tan said: "The old minister watched the sky at night, saw the seven star necks, the light was bright, or the main country had an urgent matter......

Liu Che couldn't help but glance at Sima Tan more.

The astrological question is not to be faked.

Because, stargazing, in the Han Dynasty, is not one or two people watching.

The starry sky is so big, it is not so easy to notice the changes of each star at night.

Therefore, the Han family raised dozens of stargazers and stared at the starry sky every night.

After each stargazing, the recorded text must be archived.

Since Sima Tan said this, then this incident must have happened.

This seven-star neck, Liu Che also knows a little bit about it, refers to the fourth star of the Chinese so-called Vermilion Bird Seven Houses, located in the southern starry sky, because its location is just like the neck of the Vermilion Bird, so it is often called the 'Seven Star Neck' by astrologers, also known as the member of the official star, the so-called member of the official, the throat also!

In Chinese astrology, this star is considered to be a national emergency.

As for what is this urgency?

Then it's up to you.

But now, the anomaly of the seven-star neck thrown by Sima Tan has become the last straw that overwhelms the camel.

The Empress Dowager Dou and the Empress Dowager Bo, who were already disturbed by Liu Che's dream, began to get anxious: even the celestial phenomena were displayed. It seems that this time the emperor's dream omen. It's really the ancestor apparition, a warning.

"Since the sages are unanimous. Then this matter must be Emperor Gao's dream to the emperor, warning Jiangdu that the wind disaster is coming, and, according to the emperor's dream, even Guangling City has been blown down, this disaster seems to be menacing, the emperor immediately made a decision! Empress Dowager Dou immediately urged.

The Emperor dreamed, and once clearly dreamed of a comet coming. Heavenly fire bombarded the East Palace of Luoyang.

With a precedent in the past, coupled with the unanimous opinion of experts and the endorsement of celestial phenomena, Empress Dowager Dou immediately believed it all, and was sure that this disaster would definitely come.

That's easy to do!

Empress Dowager Bo also said: "The mourning family thinks that what the queen mother (Empress Dowager Dou) said is very true, the emperor quickly summons the ministers to arrange the evacuation and disaster of the residents of Jiangdu Kingdom!" ”

Liu Che listened. I was overjoyed in my heart, but I said: "The sons and daughters obey the decree of the queen mother and the emperor's grandmother!" ”

In China, as long as there is agreement at the top. There are very few things that can be difficult to fail.

While Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall, he built a wide range of roads across the country, and by the way, he also built the Afang Palace.

When he was alive. One man hanged the whole world.

Xiang Yu and Liu Bang could only stand on both sides of the road with envy and hatred to watch Qin Shi Huang's patrol procession.

Nobles of the Six Kingdoms. Bureaucrats everywhere can only play small actions in private. No one dared to raise the flag.

Liu Che and his Han Empire, although they are now beating horses, cannot catch up with Qin Shi Huang and his Qin Empire.

However, as the emperor, it is still very simple to issue an edict to evacuate the residents and people of the entire Jiangdu country, and arrange the disaster relief work.

The Han family has such execution.

Historically, the Han regime under the rule of Little Pig has completed the overall migration and resettlement of the residents of the enemy country [subject country] three times.

Among them, Minyue is a large country with a population of hundreds of thousands.

Liu Che immediately instructed the left and right: "Summons the minister, come to discuss the matter!" ”

"No!"

Soon after, dozens of important ministers came to the Xuanshu Hall together, courtesically bowed to Liu Che and Bo Dou, the two queen mothers sitting at the top, and said in unison: "The ministers meet Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager!" ”

"Excuse me!" Liu Che commanded: "Give the seat!" ”

Then there were attendants, who went down at once, and each invited the courtiers and princes to take their seats according to their positions and ranks.

"I don't know if Your Majesty summoned his ministers and others to come, what do you order?" After taking a seat, Prime Minister Zhou Yafu immediately asked.

Liu Che glanced at the two elders in the curtain behind him, and then said: "I, I dreamed at noon today, I dreamed of the Jiangdu disaster, the storm destroyed the city wall of Guangling City, the victims wailed all over the field, the people of Li Shu, and the casualties were heavy. ”

When the ministers heard this, they were all awe-inspiring.

The things I dreamed about last time have come true.

In the face of the facts, even ministers who did not believe in ghosts and gods immediately became nervous in their hearts.

The Chinese have always been like this.

It's about pragmatism.

Ghosts and gods, whether they believe in it or not, as long as ghosts and gods can show their power, then they will believe it, and they will believe it.

On the contrary, even the most devout believers, if the ghosts and gods can't show their power, then, at best, it is a level of incense and worship.

Therefore, the Chinese religion has played many more tricks and tricks than the Western religion.

Without it, the customer base is completely different!

Liu Che stood up, looked at the ministers, and said: "The ministers are all virtuous, they know the things of the past and the present, and they are familiar with the historical past, I don't know, but there is any other explanation?" ”

This sentence must be asked, and the approval of the ministers must also be sought.

Otherwise, it would be too much of a blow to the self-esteem of the courtiers, and it would be easy to form the idea that the emperor did not respect the ministers and virtuous ministers.

The ministers listened and looked at each other.

No one has a very good idea about this.

Because, no one dares to deny something like this.

Bird Shengxuan Soup, King Wen Dream Flying Bear, similar stories. It is written in black and white, written on the top of the history.

But if only it was recognized.

Where do you put the ministers?

Don't look at the Chinese scholars and aristocrats. Usually reverence for gods and ancestors.

But in fact, if the gods and ancestors really appeared in front of them. They will be at a loss.

After the Spring and Autumn Period, theocracy and religion began to move away from the main stage of Chinese politics.

The trend of secularization and deification is very obvious.

It is one thing to use ghosts and gods to achieve one's own political demands and goals.

But it's another thing to bring this dead and decaying monster back to the center of politics and become a major force.

After thinking about it for a long time, it was finally Prime Minister Zhou Yafu. took the lead and said: "Chen Yafu Qi Your Majesty: The gods have warned, and the celestial phenomena have been revealed, Your Majesty should make a decision quickly, Chen Yafu is stupid, only the first is the first to pause, just obey the holy will!" ”

Ghosts, religions, and theocracy must never return to the political arena and become a role of power.

However, we cannot deny or refuse to accept their existence.

Thereupon. Burying his head in the sand as an ostrich has become the consensus of the ministers.

Anyway, we are stupid, and we have no way to communicate with the heavens, earth, ghosts and gods. The only person in this world who can legally talk to ghosts and gods is the emperor.

In that case, please ask Your Majesty to decide.

What did Your Majesty tell us to do? Let's just do what we do.

In this way, there is no conflict with traditional cognition. It solved the matter perfectly.

Back then, Qin Shi Huang wanted immortality. Search for elixirs and immortals.

At that time, the ministers and nobles of the Qin court dealt with it in this way.

The best way to do the existence of ghosts and gods is not to admit or deny them.

Zhou Yafu's words immediately woke everyone up.

Everyone bowed their heads and bowed: "The ministers are stupid, they don't reach the great righteousness, I don't know why, Your Majesty Fu Wei is a holy judge!" ”

Liu Che was waiting for this sentence.

He also does not want religion and ghosts to return to the political arena.

If there is really that second person who wants to coax, Liu Che will definitely let him taste what is called the malice of the Son of Heaven.

Liu Che looked at the ministers, waved his sleeves, and said, "In that case, Prime Minister!" Liu Che looked at Zhou Yafu and issued an order: "Immediately move the king of Wenjiang, and before April, immediately evacuate the west of Guangling, all the people and people, order Ao Cang, transfer two million stone corn, and transfer them to the Huaisi area, Lujiang and Chengyang, and the county soldiers of Lujiang and Chengyang should be mobilized immediately, and order the Chu State, Huizhi, and Yuzhang to be ready to accept the victims!" ”

"No!" Zhou Yafu immediately knocked on the leader's order.

This kind of thing, although it looks a little funny, the dignified state policy and large-scale evacuation of the people are actually based on the dream of the Son of Heaven.

However, he is just an executor, and he can just act according to orders.

Liu Che turned his head to look at the Imperial Historian Chao Cuo, and then ordered: "Imperial Historian Yamen, fully cooperate, all the Imperial Historians from all over the country must be dispatched to supervise and inspect the officials in the jurisdiction, and do a good job in related work. ”

"No!" Chao is overjoyed, this is a rare opportunity for the Legalists.

With the help of this matter, the discourse power and influence of the Legalists can be further expanded and enhanced.

"The big farmer order is undoubted!" Liu Che continued to order: "Before I sent an envoy to Shu County to inspect, extract the grain of Shu County, and send it to Guanzhong, Qing immediately sent a letter to Shu County, and ordered all the grain drawn by Shu County to be loaded on a ship, down the river, transported to Pengcheng, and waiting for dispatch!" ”

Orders are given one after another.

Most of China's political and military forces, with Liu Che's orders, began to mobilize.

From Shu County to Luoyang, from Qilu to Jiangdu, across the Huai River and the Yangtze River.

All the administrative and military departments, as well as the various institutions under the Shaofu, immediately entered into a state of work like clockwork machines.

In other words, by taking this opportunity, Liu Che can clearly see the ability and potential of the entire regime of the Han dynasty in the southeast and southwest directions, and can also discover many problems that have been hidden under the surface of the peace in the past.

Although the cost is very high, the resources paid are also very large.

Once, this early warning proves to be a false alarm, it will shake the foundation of Liu Che's monarchy.

But it's all worth it.

With the successful experience of three years ago, Liu Che has also confirmed many times that this storm did occur in previous lives.

It is believed that after this incident, the sacredness and authority of Liu Che's throne will be recognized by the whole world, and from now on, Liu Che's orders and policies will be implemented more smoothly.

No one would dare to play tricks or even confront a divine emperor who was favored by the gods of heaven and earth.

What's more, after spending so much money, Liu Che wants more than that.

His appetite is bigger than anyone thinks!

"Peaceful reunification of the three vietes, in one fell swoop!" Liu Che carried his wide ribbon and said in his heart.

If this opportunity is missed, it will be difficult to have such a simple and easy opportunity to solve the problem of Mitsukoshi secession in the future. (To be continued......)
