Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 105
Filial piety...

The corner of Li Gan's mouth twitched, you are too filial.

"I know Fengxian's intention."

Li Qian turned around and lay down on the couch, preventing Lu Bu from seeing his facial expression: "Come and stretch your muscles!"

"Yes, foster father!" Lu Bu thought that Li Qian was touched, and was very excited, so he went up to pull his tendons.

Wei Zhongxian secretly scolded Lu Bu for his lack of appreciation.

He is an eunuch, and if an eunuch wants to go out to make contributions, he will inevitably make all the officials object and cause His Majesty to lose his majesty.

But Lu Bu is a military officer!
As long as you are promising, you won't be so worthless.

Wouldn't it be better for you to become a capable general and help His Majesty outside the court? ?

Today, Lu Bu's tendon stretching time was shortened a lot, and the pain subsided. Li Qian lay on the bright yellow soft bed, feeling the sour and refreshing aftertaste after the pain.

The mind was empty, and the subconscious returned to the meeting today.

What impressed him the most was not the final oath ceremony, but the two previous events.

The flood of the Yellow River, Yan Song and Qin Hui's strategy.

Li Qian really did not expect that such a big disaster would occur in Xingyang, which is so close to the capital.

After worrying about the victims, he was worried about his own situation.

Frequent rains, the Yellow River burst its embankment, and the victims fled... Isn't this the standard configuration of chaos in the world?
It was a good thing no Cyclops had been dug up, otherwise he would be thinking about where he should be buried now.

Li Gan was lying on the soft bed, feeling a little heavy. Now he is no longer the Li Gan he was when he just crossed over.

At that time, I was alone, very bachelor, and I died when I died.

But now he is someone who cares.

The eldest grandson Wugou, the concubines in the harem, as well as the old eunuchs and Lu Bu who are for his good, as well as Gao Shilian and eldest grandson Wuji who came to the palace to ask for an audience, their sincerely hopeful eyes, hope that the emperor can govern this country well , lead the subjects out of the current predicament...

Li Gan felt that he was not a bad person, but these people put their hopes on him, and Li Gan inexplicably felt a sense of responsibility.

"Ah~"

Li Gan buried his face on the soft bright yellow makeup satin cushion, feeling complicated.

When he first traveled through time, he was terrified by the names of those ministers, but after getting along with him for so many days, Li Gan also realized one thing.

They are all real people, not monsters or freaks.

Li Qian also wanted balance, and civil servants also wanted balance, and it might be the generals who didn't want balance.

Since two of the three sides have to be balanced, why can't he try to move?

Even if he's not doing anything wrong, there are still civil servants out there!

Thinking of those civil servants, Li Qian became more courageous.

Because, he suspects that this class of civil servants is not easy.The reason lies in the strategy proposed by Qin Hui and Yan Song.

There is nothing wrong with the strategy itself, on the surface it seems to be a product of a flash of inspiration.

But if it is connected with the two court meetings when he first ascended the throne, it will be a little frightening.

When arguing whether to send troops to rescue the country of Yue, did the civil officials take into account the possibility of the Yellow River breaking its embankment.

Since the spring of this year, there has been more rain than in previous years. This conclusion has already been stated by Wei Zheng at the court meeting today.

Did they anticipate the day when the canal would be blocked?

Once the canal is blocked, there will inevitably be a huge food shortage in the imperial court. There is already a lack of grain income. If the consumption of disaster relief and dredging of the river is added, the imperial court will definitely not be able to afford it!

With this result, think back to the day.

Shanyangdu and Xuyi are both within the territory of Wu State, and Wu State has the ability to cut off the imperial court's water transportation, so it is impossible for civil and military officials not to know.

But they never mentioned this matter, they just used other excuses to argue and stabilize their positions.

The civil servants did not support the attack on Wu.From this, it can be seen that the civil servants did not want to make twists and turns, ignored the state of Wu, and let the water transport continue to operate.

What they seek is stability.

The generals insisted on defeating Wu.After all, seizing the canal is not as safe as holding the canal in the hands of Wu Guo.

Generals seek control.

Although Wu State and Chu State have never expressed the idea of ​​cutting off the water transportation, the water transportation is too important, and Xuyi is too important to make any mistakes.

Xuyi's change of ownership between Wu and Chu is to dance on the most sensitive nerves of the court. Even if they subjectively don't want to stop the water transport, what if the water ships cannot pass due to war accidents? ?

However, no matter what views the two parties hold, this matter has not been brought up as an argument for both parties.

Li Gan felt that this was because once he said it and did not fight, Wu would realize that he could use this to blackmail the court.

Only like today, the court is about to mobilize troops, so it doesn't matter if you say it.

At the DPRK meeting that day, the two sides quarreled a lot and were at a stalemate. Li Gan was also affected by them, and he was hungry all morning.

If the civil servants really considered the possibility of the canal being blocked in the future, then it is possible to guess what they thought.

At that time, troops were dispatched, and if there were no problems with the canal in the future, Xuyi and Shanyangdu could be recaptured after the dispatch of troops, and the imperial court's water transport would no longer be hindered.

This result is absolutely acceptable to the civil servants, and if the wealthy Wu State is conquered, there will be no worries about laboring the people and wasting money.

But now that there is a problem with the canal, sending troops to rescue the country of Yue has become an insurance set up by the civil officials at that time.

If you can send troops, you can increase your troops. Just like now, if you throw out the forbidden army who consumes the most food, won't the food for work be saved?Can Caohe be dredged again? ?

Wouldn't such a big crisis disappear invisibly?

Regardless of whether the Caohe River is blocked or not, they will win.

Therefore, Li Gan suspected that this was a deliberate compromise, a compromise that had been premeditated, and a compromise that had been planned out.

Civil and military forces are opposed on the surface, but Li Gan also knows that their positions are not static, provided that there are sufficient interests.

Just like civil servants, if they can really win Xuyi and Shanyangdu, and control the canal in their own hands, will they not be willing?
Li Gan now suspects that even if he didn't say the strategy of borrowing troops at the time, the civil servants would eventually compromise.

It's just that they will use that compromise to let the generals exchange great benefits!
However, no matter how exhaustive the civil servants are, they still can't be counted as Wu Meiniang, a woman with such intelligence.

Li Gan pursued balance, and such a group of civil servants also pursued balance.

That being the case, he should be fine with a little wave... right?

Just when Li Gan was struggling, a sound of footsteps came from outside, interrupting his thoughts.

A young eunuch in Tsing Yi ran into the political affairs hall, afraid to look into the eyes of the old eunuch Wei Zhongxian, but lowered his head and shouted: "Your Majesty, Doctor Yushi, Wei Zheng, please see me!"

When the old lady overheard the name Wei Zheng, she frowned subconsciously.

"Wei Zheng?"

Li Qian raised his head and thought for a moment: "Show him in!"
