Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 238 The Promise of Splitting the Earth and Becoming the King
Seeing that Jia Qiong had no intention of accusing King Jia of colluding with the White Lotus Sect, Emperor Longqing calmed down a bit and asked Jia Qiong to lie down and reply.

But knowing that King Jia had made friends with such a dangerous person, he felt uneasy no matter what he thought.

He asked Jia Qiong again: "Jia Qing, in your opinion, how should we investigate this matter later?"

Jia Qiong replied: "Back to the emperor, I think it is better not to investigate this matter.

Protector Zuo has probably fled the capital, and there is no way to check him even if he wants to.

In order to stabilize the affairs of the court, the emperor has made the matter of Prince Ning trivial. Why should he go to war over the little Zuo Dharma Protector of the White Lotus Sect? "

Emperor Longqing frowned and said, "Could it be that this matter will not be investigated, and King Jia will not deal with it."

Jia Qiongxin said that if you wanted to deal with it, you should have issued an order to inspect Suiyuan long ago. Will you still have time to come to me and ask for punishment?

"Your Majesty, the White Lotus Sect has been severely damaged and is now in decline.

It's just a left-handed guardian, but how much trouble can a bereaved dog make?

It was normal for a prince to make friends with famous people. If King Jia didn't know the identity of Zuo Hufa, the emperor wouldn't be able to punish him for this matter.

In the final analysis, this matter was still Chen's fault. He only wanted to follow the clues and delayed taking action, but in the end, Zuo Protector ran away. "

Emperor Longqing waved his hand and said, "I can't blame you for this. Who would have thought that the thief would be so cunning and escape into the prince's courtyard. You don't have to blame yourself too much."

After speaking, he sighed again and said: "Hey, most of the people in the government nowadays are just like fools and dogfighters, and there are only a few people who can do things as honestly as Jia Qing.

Nowadays, even these princes of mine are scheming and scheming all day long. They don't know how to share the worries of the king and father, which really chills me.

Jia Aiqing, do you think I am a foolish king? "

Jia Qiong hurriedly said: "The emperor is diligent in government, loves the people, is strict with himself, and is lenient towards others. He is a rare wise king in the past and present. Why did the emperor say this?"

Emperor Longqing said with a sad face: "Then why is this country being managed worse and worse by me?

In recent years, there have been constant natural disasters, and it seems that God is punishing me. "

Jia Qiong knew that Emperor Longqing was a little depressed because of King Jia's affairs, so he had a sense of self-denial.

With the firmness of Emperor Longqing's mind, this mood will definitely not last long.

But this is a good opportunity for Jia Qiong, just like when a woman is depressed, it is easier for men to take advantage of her.

If he could cheer up Emperor Longqing at this time, the effect might be even better than the usual achievements of a few achievements.

Jia Qiong's mind was spinning and she quickly thought of her words.

“Your Majesty, everyone says that God’s will is unpredictable.

But I looked at ancient and modern classics and found a very interesting pattern. "

Emperor Longqing's curiosity was aroused and he couldn't help but ask: "Oh, what's the pattern?"

“I discovered that every once in a while, there will be a period of abnormal climate in the world.

The weather will become cold and dry, and disasters will occur frequently in various places. This period will last for decades or even hundreds of years.

There are three well-documented times in history, namely from the late Yin and Shang Dynasties to the early Western Zhou Dynasty, from the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms and Western Jin Dynasty, and from the late Tang and Five Dynasties to the early Northern Song Dynasty.

During these periods, the climate was very cold and natural disasters occurred frequently. It is very similar to our current situation. I am afraid that our country will also catch up with this period. "

Emperor Longqing took a breath when he heard this. He thought about it and said in surprise: "Disasters have indeed occurred frequently in the past few dynasties.

Is this a warning from God, a sign of national destruction? "

Jia Qiong shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I thought that the frequent disasters were just the cause of the demise of the Yin Shang, Eastern Han and Tang dynasties, but it was not the main reason, nor was it a sign from God, it was just a natural law.

Just like the four seasons of heaven, spring, summer, autumn and winter cycle back and forth.

As long as the politics are clear and the situation is dealt with properly, Dachu will surely be able to regain its glory days after this period. Emperor Longqing sighed and said: "Now the imperial court is already struggling to cope with the annual famine, and the various forces in the DPRK and China are still plotting against each other."

If you hadn't created this business name, I don't know how we would have dealt with this year's locust plague.

Jia Aiqing, speaking of which, I still want to thank you very much.

With the profits distributed by the Freemasons, if there is a major disaster in the next few years, the court will not be without money to provide relief.

Hey, I wonder how long this year of disaster will last, and whether I, Da Chu, can survive it. "

Wanting to advance but then suppressing, Jia Qiong saw that the time was almost up and began to give out good news.

He said: “Your Majesty, you don’t have to be pessimistic.

I once read in an ancient book that there are several kinds of grains overseas that are not only high-yield, but also resistant to cold and drought.

If we can find the seeds of these types of food and plant them widely across the country, we will surely be able to save countless people and make our country no longer worried about famine.

Even if this disaster lasts for a hundred years, I, Da Chu, can survive it. "

Emperor Longqing asked in surprise: "Is this true? Where is the food?"

"Twenty-six thousand miles east from Da Chu, across the vast East China Sea, there is a vast land.

It is rich in products, vast and sparsely populated, and all these kinds of food are there. "

Emperor Longqing asked in surprise: "It's twenty-six thousand miles and we have to cross the East China Sea. How can we survive?"

Jia Qiong said: "Your Majesty, where there is a will, there is a way. In fact, this matter is not as difficult as you think.

Not long ago, wasn't there a fleet of red-haired men who crossed thousands of miles and came to our country from the far west?

The barbarians can do it, but we, the Chinese, can't do it. "

Emperor Longqing was still a little unbelievable and said: "How are you sure that what is recorded in the ancient books is true? Why have I never heard of such a place?"

Jia Qiong said: "Your Majesty, it is contained in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness East Classic".

Beyond the East China Sea lies the great ravine, the country of Shaohao.

There is a mountain in the southeastern corner of the wilderness, named Pimu Diqiu.

Beyond the East China Sea, in the wilderness, there is a mountain named Dayan, where the sun and moon come from.

There are also the kingdoms of Baimin, Qingqiu, Black Teeth, Xiazhou, and Gaiyu, all to the east of the Great Wilderness.

These records are definitely not based on fantasy, but there is indeed a vast land to the east of our country. This is proof.

Moreover, I have a photographic memory. There were sea charts in the ancient books I saw back then, and I still remember them clearly now.

As long as the emperor gives me enough support, I promise that one day my Da Chu fleet will reach the end of the East China Sea and bring back those fine seeds that can save the world. "

Jia Qiong's words cheered up Emperor Longqing. He stood up excitedly and said, "Is Jia Aiqing serious about what he said?"

Jia Qiong said: "Your Majesty, I, Jia Qiong, always say what I say, and I never tell lies.

It's just that this matter is extremely difficult, and the manpower and material resources consumed are probably no less than that of Qin Shihuang's construction of the Great Wall and Sui Yang's construction of the Grand Canal.

I, Da Chu, do not yet have such conditions, so I can only prepare slowly and not act too hastily.

But as long as the emperor can trust me and I dare to guarantee it with my head, I will be able to accomplish this within ten years! "

Emperor Longqing hit the festival and said: "Okay! If that day comes, Jia Aiqing will be a great hero of our great Chu, and I will not begrudge him if he breaks the soil and becomes the king!"
