Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 570 Interpretation of Dreams
In April, Tongguan, the camp of the Han army.

It was dark, not yet dawn.In the Han army camp, except for the night watchmen, most of the Han soldiers are still dreaming.

In the camp of the Chinese army, Liu Chan lay on the bed and slept peacefully, not knowing what he dreamed of.Liu Chan closed his eyes tightly, his head was sweating coldly, his body tensed up involuntarily, as if he was struggling to get rid of something.

After a while, Liu Chan, who was sweating profusely, opened his eyes, looked at the tent illuminated by the orange light above his head, and weakly called out, "Come here, bring water."

The attendant who was serving at the side quickly poured a bowl of warm water and handed it over, and arranged the cushion behind Liu Chan to make him more comfortable.

Liu Chan took the towel, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and took another sip of warm water, feeling a little relieved,
Exhaling heavily, Liu Chan asked, "When is it now?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is not long after Yinshi (4:00)." The attendant replied, "There is still a little time before dawn, will Your Majesty continue to sleep?"

Liu Chan returned the bowl to the attendant, shook his head, and said, "I just had a bad dream and couldn't sleep, so I won't sleep anymore."

The attendant took the bowl respectfully, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I heard that Zhao Zhishan joined the army to interpret his dream. Your Majesty is having a bad dream. Why don't you call for an interpretation to drive away the fear in your heart."

Liu Chan does not reject the traditional astronomy, dream interpretation, and palmistry of the ancients, and in order to promote his destiny as the son of heaven, he also publicized the story of Mrs. Gan's pregnancy because of a night dream, to show that he is The Lord of Han ZTE.

At the beginning of Liu Chan's ascension to the throne, there were not many believers, but as Liu Chan showed outstanding abilities, and the territory of the great man became larger and larger.There are many domestic officials and people who believe in it. They put this birth together with the Taizu Liu Bang's mother's dream and the gods' intercourse to give birth to the Taizu. They all say that your majesty is the fate of the emperor guarded by the stars, and Taizu Longpan is in the body. The emperor's fate is the same.

There were nine stars in the Big Dipper in ancient times, and now there are seven stars. "Historical Records Tianguan Shu": "Dou is the emperor's chariot, transported in the center, and temporarily controls the four townships. Divide Yin and Yang, build four seasons, equalize five elements, transfer festivals, and set all disciplines, all tied to Dou." This means that The emperor rides the Big Dipper to inspect the four directions and customize it for the world.

Therefore, Liu Chan's nickname "A Dou" is the name of the rich and powerful, which shows Lao Liu's love for Liu Chan.Therefore, some people may say: "The ancestors prepare the foundation for your majesty, and your majesty will consecrate Mount Tai to the heaven and the earth."

So far, there are only three emperors named Shihuang (Yingzheng), Xiaowu (Liu Che) and Guangwu (Liu Xiu) who have been enshrined as emperors of Mount Tai.Comparing Liu Chan to these four emperors also has a great beauty.

Liu Chan pondered for a while, thinking that it was still early and there was nothing important to do, and said, "Yes, call Zhao Zhi."

"promise!"

Not long after, Zhao Zhi, with slightly white hair and dressed in civil official uniform, entered the account, cupped his hands and said: "My minister Zhao Zhi pays homage to His Majesty, and may His Majesty be happy and blessed forever."

Liu Chan leaned on the cushion and looked at Zhao Zhi. Although he was sixty-two, he was hale and hearty, with a bit of elegance, and said, "Excuse me, just take your seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Zhi is good at interpreting dreams, and there are three things left in the history books.Historically, in the 12th year of Jianxing, Zhuge Liang sent troops to Guanzhong. At that time, Wei Yan was a striker and was ten miles away from Zhuge Liang’s barracks. This is also a sign that the bandits want to destroy themselves without fighting."

Zhao Zhi went back and told others: "The horn is a character, and it is used under the knife; the knife on the head is very dangerous." Sure enough, Wei Yan was beheaded by Ma Dai, which is exactly what the knife on the head said.

Moreover, Zhao Zhi once had a fortune-telling for Jiang Wan who was at a low point in his life. Jiang Wan dreamed at night that there was a bull's head in front of the door, bleeding profusely, which meant something evil, so he asked Zhao Zhi to account for the dream.Zhao Zhi said: "When a husband sees blood, the matter is clear. The ox horns reach the nose, the image of the word 'gong', and the throne must be the highest public, and it is also a sign of great auspiciousness." He also corrected his words.

Liu Chan pondered for a while, and said: "Zhao Qing, I was just in a dream, and there was something evil in the dream. I walked among the water plants with my sword, fought with the Wei people, and stabbed him to death with the sword, bleeding all over the ground, and the water plants withered , I don’t know how good or bad it is?”

Zhao Zhi stroked his beard and thought, sometimes mumbling, sometimes shutting up.

After a while, Liu Chan saw that Zhao Zhi was frowning, as if the matter was unlucky, but he was not very good at explaining it.

Zhao Zhi hesitated for a while, and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, it's hard to know the good and bad of this matter!"

Liu Chan seemed to see Zhao Zhi's embarrassment, waved his hand and said: "No need, Zhao Qing just tell the truth. Don't be shy, I'm not a person who doesn't know the number of days, I forgive you for your innocence."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhi was slightly relieved, and told the truth bravely: "My Majesty, the aquatic plants are luxuriant. The luxuriant grasses are luxuriant, and they wither when they encounter blood. In fact, they are His Majesty's wife. I am afraid that she will be seriously ill. Your Majesty As the son of heaven, it is not good to fight with the people of Wei, draw your sword and assassinate him."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the voices in the camp changed drastically.Isn't His Majesty's wife the Queen?What is unfavorable now is the military affairs.What Zhao Zhi said meant that the queen might be seriously ill, and the war would not be good for the big man.

Liu Chan's face also turned gloomy. Who wouldn't want someone to curse that his wife is seriously ill and that he will lose the war.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhi hurriedly knelt down and said in fear: "Your Majesty, I have little talent and learning, and I am afraid that I may make a mistake in interpreting the dream. Why don't I ask you to explain it again."

Zhao Zhi was also cunning, fearing that Liu Chan would hate him, he hurriedly asked for another interpretation of the dream.But Liu Chan is not going to let him continue to explain, there are many words for dream interpretation, and there are also many forced recombination.

Liu Chan waved his hand and said lightly: "No need, Zhao Qing can go back to the camp to rest!"

"promise!"

After Zhao Zhi left, Liu Chan pondered for a long time, a little lost in thought.

"Your Majesty?" the attendant reminded: "You may call other people to come and re-interpret this dream for Your Majesty."

Liu Chan shook his head and said, "No need."

After speaking, Liu Chan ordered: "Order people to go back to Chengdu and investigate the situation of the ladies in the harem. Let the queen take care of her body and don't get sick."

Liu Chan has always maintained correspondence with Chengdu. In the letter, he said that everything in the harem is peaceful and there is no disaster, so that His Majesty can concentrate on the eastward expedition.That's why Liu Chan had to worry about Zhao Zhi's calculation of the dream, so he ordered people to go to Chengdu to find out how the situation in Chengdu was.

"promise!"

While Liu Chan was talking, Liao Li came in from outside the tent with an official document, and said with an unsightly expression, "Your Majesty, according to what the former general said, although the army is in a place where the enemy is flanking, Jiang Ji still sticks to it." If it doesn’t come out, I’m afraid it will be difficult to attack.”

"Huh?" Liu Chan put aside the matter of dream interpretation for the time being, looked at the battle report on Wang Ping's letter, and sighed, "Zijun has few soldiers. It is a pity that he can't take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and defeat the enemy army. Now Jiang Ji finds out that Zijun They are all trapped in food and grass, and they are holding on to the city, I am afraid that it will be difficult for our army to conquer Tongguan."

"As for the withdrawal of the troops, let the former general wait for a while and see if there will be any changes in the Battle of Hedong." Liu Chan said.

"promise!"
