The sky was gloomy, the north wind was howling, and the sky was gray.The palace was dark and silent, and the women in the palace held fire sources and lit the palace lanterns, and the orange candles flickered to illuminate the palace.

Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps, and Liu Chan, wrapped in cotton clothes, strode into the hall, followed by Fei Yi.

"Xuan, Dong Lixiong enters the palace!" Liu Chan ordered as soon as he knelt down.

"promise!"

In the sound of the summons, Dong Lixiong was well-dressed and well-dressed, walked into the hall, bowed his head and saluted, and said in a loud voice: "Chen Dong Lixiong pays homage to His Majesty, and may His Majesty live forever."

Liu Chan heard the reputation and looked over, only to see that Dong Lixiong was nearly eight feet tall, with a good appearance and a heroic spirit, which made people feel good.

Liu Chan nodded secretly, but his face was still calm, and he said lightly: "Excuse me. I don't know why Qing entered the Han Dynasty?"

Dong Lixiong cupped his hands, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "I don't know if His Majesty would like to hear lies or the truth."

Hearing this, Liu Chan found it interesting, and asked curiously, "How about the truth? How about the falsehood?"

Dong Lixiong didn't rush to answer, but talked eloquently and said: "Cao Cao pretended to be a traitor of the Han Dynasty under the pretense of being a Han Dynasty. He was tyrannical and slaughtered the people of Xuzhou; his son Cao Pi usurped Han Zuo, and everyone who cherished the Han family hated him. But the first emperor, being a nobleman of the emperor, rescued Xuzhou from thousands of miles away regardless of the danger; he overthrew the Han Dynasty and rejuvenated the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Xiong Wanli went to Chengdu to help the Han Dynasty!"

After speaking, Dong Lixiong bowed and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, this is a false statement!"

Liu Chan was expressionless and asked, "What about the truth?"

Without any stage fright, Dong Lixiong clapped his hands and replied solemnly: "Today, Cao Rui enjoys extravagance and abuses the people. The people are poor and have no means of living. Your majesty is benevolent, imitating Emperor Wen, plowing the fields and persuading farmers to become mulberry; The prime minister governs the world like no one else in the world, uses troops unparalleled to expand the land for thousands of miles, and gains the land of two states."

"The great Han has already gained power. If he goes down to Guanzhong, he will have the foundation to strengthen the Qin Dynasty, and the Gaozu will have the power to level the world. Therefore, a good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a good man chooses a master to serve. Besides, there are many clans against Wei, and the ministers are no more than humble people. How can I live here? The ministers who entered the Han Dynasty were just imitating Chen Ping and seeking wealth and honor for the rest of their lives."

"This is Xiong's mantra!" Dong Lixiong said, clasping his hands.

Liu Chan nodded, satisfied with Dong Lixiong's answer.If he is full of small words and great righteousness, how can he believe it, after all, there are very few people like this in the world.

"Since I heard Qing's words, I seem to have a great talent, but I don't know what your strengths are?" Liu Chan asked.

Dong Lixiong lowered his posture at this time, and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have lived in Qidi for a long time, and I know the essence of law and agriculture. You can ask any questions, and I will try my best to answer."

Liu Chan looked at Dong Lixiong, pondered for a while, and asked: "Since you know the beauty of farming, but you don't know how to divide the land, what is the benefit?"

Dong Lixiong cupped his hands and replied: "The method of districting fields comes from the "Book of Si Sheng". The method of districting fields is a method of intensive cultivation. If you don't expand the field, you can increase the yield per mu. It's just that the method of districting fields is very wasteful. The power of the people, so it is difficult to promote it, it can be used in places with few lands and many people..."

After a pause, Dong Lixiong glanced at Liu Chan on the steps, and said, "I want to report to your majesty, I think the new method in the middle of Shu is very exquisite, and the agricultural tools it changes are like the plow in the middle of Shu, which saves people's energy and is relatively cheap." Tian Zhifa is also good. This is God Bless the Great Man!"

Liu Chan nodded slightly, what Dong Lixiong said is true, he really understands agriculture.

Liu Chan changed the subject and asked, "Qingyan said he knew the law, but he didn't know the law of Qin and Jin, or Qi law?"

Speaking of this, Dong Lixiong raised his chest slightly, very proud, and said: "I know the laws of the Qin and Jin Dynasties, and the books of Shang Yang, Han Feizi, and Shen Buhai, all of which I have learned. As for the laws of Qi, Guan Zi (Guan Zhong) The minister also knows it."

Liu Chan's eyes lit up, and he thought for a while and asked: "Since you have something to say, how dare you ask the difference between Qi Fa and Qin Fa?"

Dong Lixiong was clear and analyzed one by one: "My Majesty, the laws of Qi and Qin are not different from each other, they are not different from high or low, and they are all determined by the law. But the difference is that both the law and the teaching are emphasized. However, the Qin and Jin Dynasties respected the law, technique, and power as the supreme....Today, in terms of the national power of the world, I think that the prime minister's equal law is even better."

Hearing this, Liu Chan's expression softened slightly. The Dong Lixiong in front of him is proficient in agriculture and law, and he can be called a pillar.

The corners of Liu Chan's mouth moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "Since Qing has such a talent, I don't know what he thinks of the world. How can a big man rule Liangzhou and Longzhou?"

Liu Chan finally asked the ultimate question, and this answer will determine what kind of talent Dong Lixiong is.

Dong Lixiong pondered for a long time, looked at Liu Chan on the steps, and said: "Your Majesty, the great man has a prime minister who governs the country, and the minister is not as wise as the prime minister, so he dare not speak lightly about governing the country. Besides, the minister came to the great man not long ago. Don’t dare to make false statements.”

"As for the general trend of the world, I dare to say a thing or two."

Liu Chan cheered up slightly, raised his hand and said, "Please speak!"

"Today's three points, the Great Han and the Eastern Wu both have the land of three states, and against Wei to occupy the land of nine states in the world, Wei Qiang's momentum is irreversible, so it is necessary to unite with Wu to resist Wei. The immediate urgency of the Great Han is to tackle key problems. If Conquering Guanzhong, the great Han has the potential to strengthen Qin, but the national power is still invincible to Cao Wei, so he resorted to other strategies."

Dong Lixiong said impassionedly, pointing Jiangshan.

"My minister thinks that Eastern Wu has the shame of stealing the country and the hatred of seizing the land from our great Han. Maybe we can go down the river, swing our sword east, and seize the land of Jingzhou. At that time, we can go down the river from Hanzhong, and then send the generals to go north from Jingzhou , Seize the land in the north of Jingzhou. After occupying the land of Jingzhou, the great Han sent the soldiers of Qinzhou to attack Luoyang, and then sent the soldiers of Jingzhou to attack Xuchang, and the land of the Central Plains is at your fingertips!"

When he heard about the attack on Eastern Wu Jingzhou, Liu Chan's face was a little astonished. What Dong Lixiong said meant that Zhuge Liang was right.But the alliance between Han and Wu is the main line. Attacking Soochow would not mean breaking your arm, and you will also provoke a strong enemy. The national strength of the Han Dynasty is simply impossible to fight against two with one.

Liu Chan regained his expression, and said with a smile: "Your words are quite reasonable, and I have written them down. It is a pity that you are a talent, and it is a pity to be resigned to a small official. You should step down. After I think about it, I will re-appoint a new post to Qing."

Hearing this, Dong Lixiong was very knowledgeable, cupped his hands and said, "No! Thank you, Your Majesty."

After finishing speaking, Dong Lixiong said his farewell and saluted and slowly retreated from the hall.

After Dong Lixiong left the hall, Liu Chan looked at Fei Yi who was listening in the corner, and asked, "I don't know what Wen Wei thinks?"

Fei Yi pondered for a while, and said: "From Dong Lixiong's speech and self-recommendation, his tone is exaggerated, just like Dongfang Shuo; from Dong Lixiong's response, this person's words are bewitching, and he is good at trying to please your majesty, just like Zhang Yi. I think that in terms of talent, they are not like these two."

"Wen Wei thinks this person can hold any position?" Liu Chan asked.

Fei Yi caressed his beard and said, "This man returned to Han not long ago. He doesn't know his heart and can't govern the people. It's better to stay in Chengdu and take up a post. He will live under my eyes and see how his mind is. Then I will appoint him."

Liu Chan nodded and said with a smile: "It's a pity that this person is proficient in law and farming, and lives in Chengdu. Today Pan Yushi is visiting counties and counties on holidays, and there is a shortage of manpower under him. Let Dongli Xiongtiao work under him. , to see his mind."

Although Pan Jun speaks honestly, he is a seasoned man, so he can feel at ease when he looks at Dong Lixiong who is attached to him.Moreover, Pan Jun is also in charge of supervising the new policy of the land system, so that Dong Lixiong can follow the left and right to know the political affairs at the bottom of the Han Dynasty. With this experience, he can arrange official positions in the future.

"You can follow His Majesty's words." Fei Yi said, cupping his hands.
