The prince drove slowly on the road on the Weinan Plain.

Liu Ju looked at the vast fields outside the car, the corn that was about to ripen and colorful ears of millet looked as beautiful as treasures in the sun.

"It's another good year..." Liu Ji sighed.

Since the drought in the first year of Yanhe, including this year, Guanzhong has had a bumper harvest for three consecutive years.

The food accumulated in the treasury is related to each other.

The matter of not governing the river is not a matter of consumption of a large amount of food, and it is probably going to repeat the fact that the grain in the state's official warehouse was inedible during the Yuanding period.

"Yes..." A civil servant sitting opposite Liu Ju whispered: "Another year of harvest is expected..."

"I heard that the Grand Minister's farmer expects that the average yield per mu in Guanzhong this year is at least five stones... The country's surplus corn will reach four million stones, which can support the need to manage the river next year!"

Three years ago, Guanzhong needed to transfer three to four million stones of corn from Guandong every year!

However, three years later, Guanzhong has spare no effort to support Guandong in governing the river.

Although the national fiscal revenue increases by only 10% by this addition and subtraction, the effect generated is equivalent to a doubling of national fiscal revenue.

Therefore, Liu Ju couldn't help but sigh: "No good minister in governing the world is as virtuous as a hero!"

The civil servant listened, lowered his head and remained silent.

But I was not very convinced.

So he said: "I, the family, only rely on my own skills and lewd skills and the techniques of all craftsmen..."

"After all, this is just a small path, a skill... it's just a benefit for a while..."

"But I have not made many achievements in education and morality... This inevitably leads to the loss of the teachings of gentlemen!"

When Liu Ju heard this, he shook his head and smiled and said, "Zi Jian, don't you want to be blinded by a leaf... Didn't you hear that the Lord said: "If you have enough warehouses, you will know etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace?"

"A heroic man's strategy is a great virtue! Teaching the people first enriches the people, and then etiquette will be born, etiquette will be born, and etiquette will be born, and etiquette will be born, and etiquette will be born, and etiquette will be born, and it will be born, and it will be born, and it will be born, and it will be born, and it will be born, and it will be born, and it will be born, and it will be born, and it

The civil servant named Zijian listened, although he was dissatisfied, he could only worship: "The family is wise, but the minister is stupid!"

Liu Ju looked at it and shook his head in his heart.

It is hard to hide his disappointment with this civil servant.

Unfortunately, he can only rely on these people at the moment.

There is no way, no matter whether he wants to, or whether he admits it or not, it is true that he, the prince, is already tied to these gentry and nobles from Qingxu, Qilu.

The gentry and nobles need him as the prince, and he needs the cooperation and cooperation of these gentry and nobles.

Otherwise, the prince would have been completely suppressed and overwhelmed by his son.

Thinking of this, Liu Ju couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart.

At this moment, Liu Ju’s confidant Zhang He heard the voice of Liu Ju’s confidant: “At home, the King of Changyi sent an envoy to report that the king was waiting for his home on the bank of the Wei River!”

"King Changyi..." Liu Ju put down other things and said softly: "I know..."

King Liu of Changyi was the one who worried him the most among his brothers!

Since last year, Liu's body has been suffering from fever over and over again. He has hired many doctors and visited many doctors, but it is difficult to find out the cause of the disease. He can only rely on decoction to save his life.

Thinking of this, Liu Ju couldn't help but sigh that things in the world were unpredictable.

You know, a few years ago, Liu was the most threatening opponent of the prince.

But now, Liu can't even guarantee his life.

…………………………

An hour later, Liu Ju's car finally arrived at the bank of the Wei River.

And by the river, King Liu of Changyi, who came from Lantian, had already been waiting with his ministers.

"Brother, please ask the emperor for your goodbye!" Liu walked to Liu Ju with the support of two ministers and bowed.

"I would like to ask my family for peace..." Behind him, the ministers of Changyi Kingdom paid a visit.

"Guan..." Liu Ju hurriedly stepped forward and helped Liu up and said to the others: "You don't have to be polite!"

Then he helped Liu, walked to the riverside, and asked, "Is King Changyi better?"

"Emperor Lao is concerned about it, my body is just like this..." Liu coughed softly: "Doctors say that my brother's illness is like that of Cai Hengshi. The illness is in the bone marrow and it is hopeless!"

"The King of Changyi should not be so depressed!" Liu Ji said: "The world is so big, and there are countless strange people. When I arrive in front of my father, I will definitely ask my father to issue an edict to recruit famous doctors and strangers in the world to treat the king. There will be someone who can cure the king's illness!"

Liu listened, shook his head and said, "The emperor's brother doesn't need to comfort me..."

"Life and death are destined... I have also seen it..." Liu murmured softly, then looked at Liu Ju and said, "I am more worried about the emperor than me..."

"Um?"

"There are some words that others dare not say... But my brother is about to die, but he is not afraid of saying it..." Liu looked at Liu Ju, his brother, and said affectionately: "I have been reading history recently. When I saw the affairs of Duke Xian and Duke Wen, I sighed and thought to myself: If Duke Xian is not bewitched by women and be deceived by treacherous slander and know the wise men of Chong'er, then the hegemony of Jin will be accomplished long ago!"

Liu Ju listened and sighed deeply.

He knew what Liu said.

The Li Ji rebellion lasted for 33 years. The chaos in Jin was endless and the government was in chaos, and the root of the root was Xian Gong's selfish desires and desires.

Liu Ju was silent for a long time before finally saying: "I am not a Duke Xian, and there is no Li Ji around me, and the grandson is not Chong'er, and Shen Sheng is comparable to..."

"I know it myself!" Liu took off his hat and said, "But, the emperor should know that people's words are terrifying. Today there is a song saying: There are two days in heaven, three masters in earth, and people share tens of millions..."

"And the emperor's brother valued the ancient Chinese, the son of the far-reaching literary world, the poor family, and the children of the grand family..."

"But the grandson is close to the current literary world and value poor families, and uses military officials to distance himself from nobles..."

"My brother is stupid and knows this way of causing trouble..." At this point, the King of Changyi started to cough, and the more he coughed, his body became even more arched.

When Liu Ju saw this, he was so scared that he was at a loss. He hurriedly supported Liu, patted his back hard, and cried, "I am a wise man! I am a wise man! I don't need to say anything more!"

But Liu refused to do so. He grabbed Liu Ju's hand, gritted his teeth, and tried his best: "Brother, listen to my words: Things in the world should be harmonious and not chaotic. Father and son should be close relatives and not far away. The country should be quiet and not moving. If it moves, chaos will be chaotic, and disaster will be ruined!"

How could Liu not know his brother's personality and thoughts?

After all, they have been a rival for more than 20 years and know each other's true nature.

Liu knew that his eldest prince brother seemed generous and kind, but in fact he was very competitive, had a high self-esteem and a very stubborn personality.

However, he is soft-hearted and generous, so no one knows it.

However, over the years, Liu Ju's behavior has clearly demonstrated these characteristics!

Don’t you see, every time the emperor scolds the prince, the prince just admits his mistake afterwards, but he is determined not to correct his mistakes.

If the emperor wants to have the crown prince, the crown prince will not want to.

There is no need to look at anything else, just watch last year the emperor recalled the prince back to Chang'an, then killed the prince's close ministers Shi De and others, and forced the prince to study in Beijing for two months before the prince returned to Luoyang.

But what did the prince do in Luoyang after he returned?

He did not do what the emperor wanted, but just acted on the surface. After promoting several poor officials, he became more and more close to the ancient scholars of Qingxu, Qi, Lu, and valued the children of nobles.

As a result, the river management incident did not increase due to increased national investment, but instead showed signs of sluggishness.

However, in the memorial of the prince to repay the emperor, he did not mention these things at all, but just kept reporting on various achievements.

Liu knew at that time that the prince had gone astray.

If it were in the past, Liu might have watched the wall, and might even be happy to see these things.

Because if the prince falls, his chances of taking over as the King of Changyi will increase greatly!

But it won't work now.

His physical health is getting worse.

This time I entered Beijing, I stopped and stopped, took medicine and acupuncture all the way.

This made Liu clear that Liu Ju fell, and it would be impossible for him to be the crown prince and the supreme position of the world.

And his crown prince Liu He...

Um……

It is really hard to talk to outsiders. Anyway, Liu knew that if Liu He went to Chang'an, he would be played like an idiot by those cunning ministers and ministers within three months.

So, Liu had only one choice, which is what he is doing now.

Because he knew that there would be a complete egg under the collapse of the nest!

I understand even more clearly where will the skin be attached if it does not have hair?

If Chang'an is in chaos, the world will be in chaos, the world will be in chaos, the officials are like grass, and the kings are like dust.

Besides, Liu really doesn't like Prince Liu Ju.

Taisun Jin, but General Yingyang is the assistant!

If tens of thousands of elite troops in Hexi turn around and come south, who can stop him?

only……

Liu looked at the eldest brother in front of him, the prince with a concerned look on his face. He didn't know that Liu Jue didn't listen to his words, let alone whether he would follow the good deeds after he went in, or would he not correct his mistakes?
