Han Dao world

Chapter 788

A fast horse rushed into Chang'an City with a biting chill.

It is like throwing a stone into a pond, splashing a few splashes, and quickly disappearing in the torrent of speeches.

Dahonglu Temple didn't even take Zhou Yu's report seriously and threw it aside.After a few days, I mentioned it by the way during the court meeting.Dahongluqing Wang Jiang still did not forget to taunt a few words, saying that Zhou Yu was eager to make contributions and felt that the Xianbei people were not enough to fight, so he went to Beihai to see if there were any new opponents.

However, Liu Xie took his heart and asked Dahongyu Temple to send the original copy of Zhou Yu's report.

These ministers are not clear, but he has some impressions.

In the third century A.D., the Han Empire on the east side of the Eurasian continent collapsed, and when the Central Plains was struggling in the tragedy of chaos, the Roman Empire on the west side of the mainland also fell into the flames of war under the invasion of northern barbarians, and finally fell apart.

A common feature here is that the weather is getting colder and entering the so-called Little Ice Age.In order to survive, the barbarians kept going southward, giving a kick to the decadent dynasty that was already drunk and dreaming of death, and replaced it.

But he didn't think it was inevitable.

The collapse of the Central Plains Dynasty was certainly related to the colder weather, but its own decay was the root cause.For the East, it is the drunken life and dream of the scholar-bureaucrat class.For the West, it is the complete decay of the slave-owner class and the demise of civic consciousness.

That's right, at this moment, Eastern civilization has abolished slavery from the system, and it is touted by later generations as the Western civilization of the origin of civilization—ancient Rome is still slavery.

The ancient Roman Empire was a slavery empire, and even more so was ancient Greece.

This is also the fundamental reason why Eastern civilization can be reborn as a phoenix and reborn from the ashes, while Western civilization is completely reduced to memory.

The chaotic Wuhu has merged into the Chinese blood, and it is the barbarians who defeated them that inherited the civilization of Greece and Rome.

Now he has turned the tide and helped the building to collapse, let alone take the old road of history and sit back and watch the barbarians in the north destroy the civilization of the Central Plains and push countless people to death.

After retiring from the court, Liu Xie left Jia Xu, Yang Biao and others to focus on discussing this matter.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven attached so much importance to it, Da Hong Lu Qing Wang Jiang's complexion suddenly changed, sweating profusely.

Liu Xie didn't say anything, and asked Zhuge Liang to unfold the map after reading Zhou Yu's report.

The map is a recent one, very sketchy, and just so interesting.

"Everyone is familiar with historical events, you should have heard the story of Guo Ji." Liu Xie sat on the throne, twirling his fingers. "Back when Guo Ji was a Bingzhou shepherd, when he visited Meiji, there was still a large bamboo forest in Meiji. In the first year of Jian'an, when I visited Meiji, there were no bamboo forests. In less than two hundred years, the bamboo forest has moved southward for more than a hundred miles."

Yang Biao supported his beard and agreed with him. "What your Majesty said, I also had some impressions, but I didn't think much about it at the time. I went to the agricultural school two days ago and heard people talking about similar things. It seems that it is not a temporary situation, but a common trend. In this way, It cannot be taken lightly.”

He turned to look at Zhou Zhong. "Jiamou, you know the opportunity from a young age, and you can endure hardships. You will be of great use in the future."

Zhou Zhong said with a smile: "To get Situ's praise, even if he suffers a little bit, it's worth it."

Wang Jiang was even more embarrassed.

Jia Xu coughed lightly. "Having said that, after all, it's not an immediate matter, and it can be considered in the long term. The most important thing at the moment is to maintain stability in northern Xinjiang. It is not appropriate to rush to war, let alone go deep into the desert. The imperial court is short of money and food, and cannot afford such consumption."

Yang Biao agreed, and then said: "Everything should be done according to one's ability and not forced. I think that the imperial court should focus on the Central Plains, especially Jingzhou and Yizhou."

Liu Xie asked, "Does Mr. Zhao have any news?"

"Not yet." Yang Biao sighed. "Yizhou is too big and has many mountains. It is much more difficult to visit all the counties than Liangzhou."

Liu Xie frowned. "Mr. Zhao is not in Chengdu?"

Yang Biao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I don't know, I haven't heard from him for a long time."

Liu Xie looked at Yang Biao and didn't ask any more questions.

It has been almost a year since Zhao Wen went to Chengdu. At first there were news, but then the news gradually became less and less, and there was no news at all.Especially after Situ, who was dismissed, was replaced by Yang Biao.

No one knows whether there is emotion, or if the descent is not smooth.

But this situation is obviously abnormal. Yang Biao should know something, but it is not convenient to say it publicly.Taking this opportunity to remind him to attach importance to Jingzhou and Yizhou instead of focusing on northern Xinjiang is a clear proof.

"There should be priorities in governing the country. I agree with the Taiwei's proposal. Now we should strengthen the foundation." Yang Biao brought the topic back. "The Xianbei and Xiongnu people who were captured in the first year of Jian'an should return home this year. If this matter is settled, it will not only stabilize the local people, but also lay the foundation for future border guards. The less things like that young wolf master, the better."

Yang Biao sighed. "These are all talents. If they can't be used by me, they will become the strong enemy of the big man in the future."

Liu Xie said lightly: "Mr. Yang is right. Taiwei's Mansion and Situ Mansion should be more concerned. But there is no need to be demanding. Everyone has their own ambitions, and overall fairness is enough."

He dusted off his clothes. "There can never be a feast, and it is necessary to satisfy all the Xianbei and the Huns. If it comes to that point, I am afraid that the Han people will not be satisfied. Far and near, close and distant, human nature, the same is true for governing the country. Take your time, don't urgent."

"Wei, I will obey the order."

"Back then, Tan Shihuai thought he was powerful and ignored the imperial court, so he rejected Emperor Xiaohuan's marriage. Now that his daughter can't survive, we don't have to be too diligent if we want to ask the imperial court for help. Dahonglu Temple arranges In a moment, send someone to contact them to see what kind of requests they have. If they are reasonable, they can be considered, and if they are unreasonable, they can be rejected. If they don’t know how to advance or retreat, they will be handled by Yan Ran’s guard.”

"Wei." Wang Jiang bowed to receive the edict.

At the end of the meeting, everyone left, and Liu Xie left Yang Biao behind.

After changing the tea and taking his seat again, Liu Xie went straight in and asked about the situation in Yizhou.

Yang Biao left the table and fell to the ground. "Your Majesty, I have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, please punish me."

Liu Xie glanced at him and remained motionless. "Then you have to say what kind of crime of deceiving the emperor first, so I can decide how to punish you. You plead guilty as soon as you open your mouth. Do you sincerely plead guilty, or do you want me to forgive you first?"

Yang Biao fell on the ground and froze a little.

The emperor's voice was not loud, but his tone was very strong, obviously he was not in a good mood.

"How long is Mr. Yang going to kneel? Is it because I will not forgive your crime, so you won't get up?"

Yang Biao was taken aback and got up quickly. "How dare the minister, how dare the minister."

"Tell me, what happened in Yizhou, so that Mr. Zhao was stranded?" Liu Xie picked up his teacup and took a shallow sip of tea.

Yang Biao was silent for a moment. "Your Majesty, Yizhou... is at war."

Liu Xie didn't change his face, and said in a light tone: "Who and who?"
