The spring sun is shining down, and the air is filled with the smell of earth, although it is still early spring, I can already feel a trace of heat brought by the sun, and I can already feel the breath of a dry year.
However, at this time, Liu Xie, standing on the bank of the Jing River, is still in a very good mood, looking at the canal more than one zhang wide has been built, in three months, Liu Xie levied 300,000 people, Chang'an within a radius of 300 miles to dig out eight tributaries, now is the time to complete, what to do now is to introduce the Jing River into the canal, this year and even in the next thousands of years, Chang'an no longer has to worry about the drought year.
"Your Majesty, this situation surrounded by eight rivers has been completed, and the total length of the attack is more than 1,200 li, and they are connected with each other, so that within the Jingzhao area, there is enough water to irrigate the farmland, and then, just do a good job of the water dragon car, and you don't have to worry about irrigating the fields without water in the future in the dry year."
Master Pu spoke with a little excited look, this is a major event that is meritorious in the present and beneficial in the future, which is enough to make his reputation as a craftsman famous for eternity, and this alone is not in vain.
"What does Uncle Huang think" Liu Xie turned his head to look at Liu Ye beside him and confirmed again.
Liu Ye looked a little haggard at the moment, since he came to Chang'an, he put all his energy into this newly opened eight waters, although haggard at the moment, his expression was very excited, and he smiled when he heard the words: "As Master Pu said, this situation surrounded by eight rivers is not only conducive to irrigation, but also internal gossip, and can also be used as a barrier for my Chang'an in the future. ” Liu Xie nodded, but he didn't think so, if he really got to that point, even if there was this barrier, the Han family would be over, and what he paid more attention to was the actual benefits that these eight canals or rivers could bring to the people's livelihood in Guanzhong.
"In that case, it is possible," Liu Xie asked.
"Feasible."
Liu Ye nodded affirmatively.
Liu Xie nodded to Master Pu on the side, Master Pu understood, and hurriedly commanded more than a dozen strong men to slowly pull up the thousand catties of stones that blocked the Jing River and the canal, followed by two people tied ropes around their waists, jumped into the empty canal, and began to dig out from the bottom.
But seeing that the two men pierced into the soil with a sharpened artemisia, and then nailed it little by little with a mallet, and it took a full quarter of an hour for water to overflow from the soil, the two men hurriedly tied ropes at the bottom of the artemisia, and then left the canal with the help of their companions.
"The water here is quite fast, and if it is directly chiseled, the person responsible for digging under it is likely to be swept away, and if the current is too strong, it is easy to wash away the canal."
Seeing Liu Xie's doubts, Master Pu hurriedly explained.
At this moment, someone has struggled to start pulling the rope, pulling the artemisia out of the soil little by little, more and more water gushing out from the gaps, as the whole artemisia is pulled out, a column of water gushes out from the hole that the artemisia has opened, and soon converges into a puddle on the ground, but the pit has not changed much, according to Master Pu, if it is to be fully opened, at least an hour, relying on the impact of the river, the three-foot-thick earth wall will be completely washed away.
"Please also ask Your Majesty to lean back, the water here is turbulent, in case the water is too strong, it is likely to sweep ashore, if it accidentally hurts Your Majesty and your ministers, it will not be good."
Master Pu persuaded softly.
"Have people along the way ever told" Liu Xie turned his head to look at Wang Yue on the side, these things were all notified by the tiger guards of each city.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, three days ago, the tiger guards in all counties have begun to notify the people along the coast."
Wang Yue bowed and said.
"All the Qing family and soldiers also retreat, and send more people to patrol the coast, don't let those naughty children be swept away, opening the canal today is a great joy for me, I don't want anything tragic to happen today."
Liu Xie said to Fang Sheng on the side.
"Huh" Fang Sheng hurriedly bowed, and soon, all the cavalry in Chang'an City were dispatched to patrol the coast, and at the same time, Liu Xie also took hundreds of officials and accompanying troops and people to retreat from both sides of the strait and wait at a slightly higher place.
"Whew" At this time, there was still some hot weather, the wind suddenly blew in the flat land, and the Jing River suddenly became more turbulent for some reason, almost just as Liu Xie's order was given, and when everyone retreated, the water suddenly accelerated, and the three-foot-thick earth wall began to tremble under the impact of the water, and cracks spread from around the hole to all sides.
"Boom" There was a muffled sound, and the earth wall was dug in the hole in less than a quarter of an hour, and it was washed away by the sudden fierce current, and the roaring De River water surged, and the rolled up water flowed overwhelmingly on both sides, fortunately, Liu Xie listened to Master Pu's advice before and ordered everyone to retreat, otherwise, if one is not careful, and is involved in it, I am afraid that Gan Ning, who is quite good at water warfare, may not be able to survive.
Liu Xie frowned slightly, what is going on, how can the water of the Jing River suddenly become turbulent "Good fellow, if I hadn't left in time, I'm afraid many people would have to die here at this moment."
Behind Liu Xie, Gan Ning looked at the canal that was filled in an instant, and the water potential was even expanding to both sides, and it was impossible to continue for a long time, and the canal was like a bottomless pit constantly swallowing the water of the Jing River, and the water potential was unwilling to retreat.
Liu Xie always felt that this wave was a little weird, and the strange wind before was also very weird, and even aroused the dragon qi around his body, as if he was taking the initiative to protect the master.
"Didn't you offend this Jinghe Dragon King," someone said worriedly.
Liu Xie glanced back at the other party, if it was before, he didn't believe it, but he had experienced a lot of fantasy things, and he believed a little bit about this strange thing.
The ghost has seen it, and the god exists I haven't seen it, I don't know, but with this thing, Liu Xie still felt that it was good to leave here, and immediately smiled and looked at the ministers and said: "Today's opening of the eight rivers is the luck of the imperial court, but it is windy here, since it has been opened, you will return to the court with me." ” Liu Xie smiled and looked at the ministers.
"The ministers obey."
When a group of ministers heard this, they hurriedly bowed to Liu Xie, and the group quickly left the bank of the Jing River.
It's strange to say, after Liu Xie left the Jing River, his mind suddenly cleared, and the dragon qi around his body automatically absorbed into his body, and the Admiralty also stopped turbulence, and at the same time walked beside the opened waterway, not only did he not feel the uncomfortable feeling before, but he was quite close, is it because these eight waterways were chiseled by himself Liu Xie asked what happened, but he didn't get a response, so he had to temporarily press the curiosity in his heart.
The group returned to Chang'an, Liu Xie ordered Liu Ye to lead the group of craftsmen to be responsible for monitoring the waterway, to avoid any mistakes and omissions, but to make a place worse flood, naturally the group of craftsmen who participated in the opening of the canal also rewarded, Liu Xie retired from the ministers.
"Your Majesty, Mr.
Xiaoru asks to see you."
Just as Liu Xie was about to go back to the palace to rest, Wei Zhong suddenly ran in small steps and said to Liu Xie.
Li Ru, what is he doing here?
After thinking about it, Liu Xie said: "Bring the Chengming Palace, don't let others see it." ” Li Ru's identity is too sensitive, and he is also a person who should have been dead for a long time, if people see through his identity, things will not be good.
Wei Zhong hurriedly saluted and bowed away.
After Liu Xie returned to the Chengming Hall and asked Yuxiu and Wan'er to help him change into civilian clothes, Wei Zhong was already waiting in the side hall with Li Ru, who was wrapped in a black robe.
"Why did Xiaoru come at this time" After Li Ru saw the ceremony, Liu Xie sat on a wooden chair, took the sweet porridge handed by Yuxiu, took a sip, looked at Li Ru and asked.
"Confucianism will not risk coming unless it is a last resort."
Li Ru smiled bitterly.
"What's going on," Liu Xie frowned.

"The minister sent people to pay attention before, and yesterday he suddenly found that the tomb set up by His Majesty for the minister had been turned over, and the people who were arranged by the minister to be in prison also sent information that someone was secretly investigating whether anyone was missing in the prison when the minister was beheaded."
Li Ru smiled bitterly.
"In other words," Liu Xie leaned back in his chair and pinched his eyebrows and said, "Someone is beginning to doubt your identity" Although it is an inquiry, it is almost certain.
"When it is."
Li Ru nodded with a wry smile and said, "It should be the minister who opened his eyes for Lu Bu before, exposed his secrets, and was noticed by someone with a heart. ” Previously, after Li Ru opened his eyes for Lu Bu, he sensed that something was wrong, and the opponent did not dwell on this matter, but quickly lost his voice, and then found that his grave was turned over, and then checked the prison, and the result made Li Ru secretly break out in a cold sweat.
"Do you know who it is" After a moment of silence, Liu Xie asked.
"Zhong Xuan."
Li Ru must have found that he was secretly organized the intelligence system under Liu Xie's orders, and in many places, Liu Xie directly gave the green light, and the people of eyes and ears were naturally far from being comparable to Zhong Xuan, Zhong Xuan found that Li Ru was half guessing, and it was much easier for Li Ru to know who was checking him.
"Zhong Xuanna" Liu Xie shook his head with a somewhat complicated gaze: "It seems that it can't be used by me after all."
Among a group of top civil servants in the imperial court, Zhong Xuan is the best in terms of strategy and politics, and his comprehensive ability is extremely strong, whether it is governing one party or making decisions in the court, or even commanding the troops to fight, he is enough to take charge of himself, Liu Xie has always hoped that he can subdue this person little by little and use it for his own use.
Previously, the Xiongnu went south, Zhu Ding entered the straight road, and the price of grain in Chang'an was high, according to the news obtained by Liu Xie, Zhong Xuan was mixed in it, and this time, he directly stretched out his hand to Li Ru, and finally touched Liu Xie's bottom line.
"It's a pity." sighed leisurely, looked at Li Ru and said, "Filial piety, go back first, don't come forward these days, and I'll talk about it after I finish dealing with this matter." ” In any case, Li Ru, the hole card that Liu Xie hid in the shadows, must not be allowed to be touched by anyone, even if he secretly communicated with the Huns and secretly raised the price of grain, Liu Xie only regarded it as a game between the imperial power and the family, but this time, Zhong Xuan extended his hand to Li Ru, but he was moving Liu Xie's foundation, which he absolutely could not tolerate.
"Whoa."
Li Ru bowed and slowly retreated.
"Wei Zhong, go and invite Man Favor" A grim smile appeared on the corner of Liu Xie's mouth, Man Pet has been in the court for a few days, and it is time to give this selfless law enforcement cool official a chance to correct his name.
"Whoa."
Wei Zhong looked at Liu Xie's smile, and felt a little chill in his heart, so he hurriedly bowed down and agreed, hurriedly retreated, and invited Man Zhong into the palace. t1706231537:
