today for you

The Xuanzheng Hall is the center of China and North Korea, and the corridors on both sides are distributed with many central government offices. Except for the upper court, it is also a real office space, and the important officials of the court are busy here all day long.

The door of the hall where Zhongshu Sheng was located was open, and I strode into the hall stepping on the beat of the servant’s shrieking announcement. The ministers gathered here heard the noise, and they all kept silent and saluted, and stepped back, leaving a wide open space. aisle.

The robe was raised and lowered, and I had already sat down on the seat that belonged to Ling Wenfeng, and then Duan Yuya and Yi Yang entered. The master and apprentice followed behind Chen Fu, and the two people who were out of place here naturally attracted All eyes.

The master and apprentice were not afraid, Duan Yuya led Yi Yang to salute me in a neither humble nor haughty manner, and then stood still.For this gathering, I specially issued a notice in advance. After the court meeting, the ministers with enough grades will gather in the Ministry of Education.After waiting for me for a long time, two martial artists with completely different styles appeared, and the courtiers were all expecting me to announce my intention.

I didn't say much, I raised my hand and said to Duan Yuya, "Tell me about the Devil's Valley."

Duan Yuya understood what he said, bowed to the courtiers around him, and told everyone what he had told me.The process of Duan Yuya's narration was concise and concise, and it didn't take long, but it brought a strong shock to the courtiers.

As political common sense, ordinary people may not know it, but everyone present knows that my Great Yin faces the sea to the west, the mainland to the east, and as many as 25 neighboring countries on land.Most of the neighboring countries are tiny places with dense population and little land. Only the Chechi Kingdom in the north of the Northland Plain and the Paga Kingdom in the northern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains have a land area comparable to that of Great Yin.

At the beginning of the founding of Great Yin, due to historical issues and border issues, the relationship with Chechi was tense. After fighting a few big battles, the current border was determined.Now my country of Great Yin is rich and powerful, the emperor of Chechi is still considered wise, the border defense is stable, and the trade at the treaty port is frequent, and everyone has no intention of tearing up old grievances and dying.

Compared with Chechi, Paga is also a big bordering country, but due to natural dangers, the exchanges between Paga and our country are not even as many as those small countries.Except during the first period, the newly established Great Yin sent envoys to make friends all over the world. In the next two to three hundred years, the exchanges between the two countries were not enough to write an independent chapter and record in the annals of history.

But it is this Paga country that we don't know that is quietly doing things on the border, even big things that affect my country's economy and people's livelihood!

The Minister of the Ministry of War quickly sent someone to invite Wailang, a member of the staff who was in charge of the national map, and soon an official came with a large number of books, followed by several small officials carrying huge scrolls.

A huge map measuring five feet long and wide unfolded slowly in the open space after removing the sundries. This is a map of the whole country of Great Yin, with mountains, rivers, towns and villages, and road traffic all depicted in detail.I stepped on this extremely precious map except my shoes, as if the whole country was under my feet.

I held the fly whisk from Chen Funa, and pointed the handle at the lofty mountain in the northwest of the map: "This is the Tianshan Mountain? Isn't there a more detailed map of the Tianshan Mountain area?" The Tianshan Mountain on the map is just a few strokes to outline the direction of the mountain range. , and a few conspicuous mountain names, but none of the rest. Unlike other areas, there are no detailed topographic and geographical markings, nor are there any annotations on geographical elements such as population and hydrology.

The servant of the Ministry of War was terrified: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Tianshan Mountain is extremely dangerous, extremely cold and steep. Even the best sergeant of Ganzhou Prefecture and the strongest cartographer can't climb this dangerous Tianshan Mountain!"

I put down the whisk, and there was a muffled rattling sound, and the room was silent. Everyone was obviously afraid of me, who was a little cloudy and uncertain. They looked around, but no one was willing to raise their heads to meet my gaze.I took a deep breath and stabilized my emotions.

"Master Duan, since you came from Tianshan Mountain, let's see if there is any mistake in this map."

Duan Yuya bowed in response, moved his foot and pulled his heel out of the shoe, then paused, pointing to the big map with some anxiety on his shoe, asking for instructions: "Can I take off my shoe and enter?"

I remembered to ask me after I took off my shoes, this old man is so reckless and too lazy to care about it, so I nodded in agreement.Having obtained the permission, Duan Yuya quickly stepped into the map, and sat down casually beside the part where the Tianshan Mountain was drawn.

Ignoring everyone's stares, he leaned forward and pointed at the map of mountains and talked eloquently: "There are many mistakes in this map. Chidan Peak is not next to Tianxuan Peak, and there is a relatively inconspicuous Youmang Peak in between. , Youmang Peak is relatively low and long, and the foot of the mountain is the Tianshan part of the Tanotong Grassland, which is the summer pasture of the grassland herdsmen. This place is not completely populated, why can it be wrong?"

I squinted at the Secretary of the Ministry of War, and saw that his face was flushed, but he tried to explain: "It's not because of you! You set Tianshan Mountain as your sphere of influence, and no one is allowed to enter. How many people died in your hands, guarding at the foot of the mountain How dare soldiers go up the mountain to die!"

"This all happened a few years ago! After I joined the Tianshan faction, I have never seen a sergeant stationed on the border enter Tianshan!" Duan Yuya clapped his hands, expressing that he and the residents of Tianshan were extremely innocent, " The Devil’s Valley has been in contact with the outside world a hundred years ago, if you don’t believe me, ask the herdsmen on the Tanotong Grassland, the Tajimele they talk about is the Devil’s Valley.”

I looked at the Minister of the Ministry of War again: "How long has the map of the Tianshan area not been updated?"

The Minister of the Ministry of War sweated his forehead: "Your Majesty, I don't know, but the Ganzhou government has handed over local chronicles and maps every five years. I think that the Ganzhou government should be perfunctory."

"Hmph, you didn't even realize that you were being perfunctory by the local government, and you are the Minister of the Ministry of War." I said lightly, and the Minister of the Ministry of War dared not even lift his head.I didn't care about the frail and frail Minister of the Ministry of War, let me bring the topic back to the Paga Kingdom.

"The Gedan River is the upper reaches of the Liaohe River. The Liaohe River not only flows through Ganzhou Prefecture, but is also a major tributary of the Miaohe River. If the runoff of the Gedan River is blocked and the water volume decreases, it will not be a county or a county that will be damaged, but half of the entire Dayin area will be affected. , although my Great Yin has a large land and rich resources, but the water system is unevenly distributed. The Miao River is one of the few rivers in the Northwest Region, and it is also the largest river in the Northwest Region. It is even the river at the foot of the imperial city. Dear dear friends, you can understand How serious is this?"

The audience was solemn and solemn, and it is not stupid to be an official to do this, even if it is selfish, it will not be just for selfishness.For a while, no one whispered to each other, and no one was distracted by other things.

"It's not something that can be solved easily." Zhang Yuli said with a straight face, "If this matter is true, it will be against my wealth. If there are loyal and righteous people stationed there, I am afraid that if the Paga Kingdom is established, even if the hinterland of Great Yin encounters a drought, it will only be considered a natural disaster, not a human disaster."

Zhang Yuli's remarks shocked the ministers present, including me.In this era when the technology tree has not been lighted up much, floods and droughts can only be left to fate. If the Paga Kingdom really achieves this, it is estimated that the entire Great Yin will foolishly think that the weather is not at the right time. This is not just a year or two If it is affected, the river will be artificially diverted from then on. I am afraid that it will have to wait until the development of science and technology to find out the truth of this thousand-year-old mystery.

Who would have thought of paying attention to this?My heart is too dirty!

"However, I still have something to ask the head." Before everyone came back to their senses, Zhang Yuli had another question, and I listened with a serious expression.

"It is not easy to divert a river. I built a canal on the southwest plain. From Emperor Zhaowu to the succession of the first emperor, it has gone through three generations of emperors. It cost hundreds of millions of money and tens of millions of manpower. It took 30 years. Yes. The source of the Gedan River is located deep in the Tianshan Mountains, and it is difficult for ordinary people to approach, so how can it be as easy as you said?"

First he praised Duan Yuya's loyalty to the martial arts survivors, and then he expressed reasonable doubts. Zhang Yuli's praise and criticism were all aimed at the center, which made the minister and I who heard such appalling news feel refreshed and sanity returned. .I have to say that ginger is still old and spicy.

Everyone is waiting for Duan Yuya's reply. If what he said is unreasonable, then his identity is very problematic, and the news he brought is also questionable.At this time, I hope this news is not so true.

Duan Yuya lived up to his age and appeared very calm. Facing Zhang Yuli's sharp questioning, he didn't panic at all. He didn't even stand up, and he still made a request to me: "Your Majesty, can I use your map?"

I thought for a moment and agreed to him.Duan Yuya immediately put on a posture, and shouted to Yi Yang: "Disciple, come for the pen and ink for Master."

Yi Yang turned around immediately, and dexterously shuttled between people like a fish. In the blink of an eye, someone brought a red pen and ink from someone's desk: "Master, please use it."

Duan Yuya took the pen and ink, rolled up his sleeves, and twirled the barrel of the pen around his fingertips. As soon as it touched the ink, he tapped on the map. Before everyone could stop him, Duan Yuya was already moving his fingers like flying clouds and flowing water.Following the movement of painting, Duan Yuya also explained.

"Tianshan Mountain is a huge mountain range. It runs from east to west. It stretches for more than [-] miles in the territory of Great Yin alone, accounting for nearly one-third of the entire Ganzhou Prefecture. It is extremely wide and can be divided into north, middle and south veins. Devil Valley is located in the east section of Tianshan Mountain, between the central vein and the north vein. The north is the giant hump, which is covered with ice and snow all the year round. At the bottom of the valley, it emerges from Ax Mountain.”

At this point, even the paintbrush stopped. At this time, the location of the Tianshan Mountains on the map, the previous black pen and ink traces have been covered up by red, and the bright red dazzlingly shows how wrong the original map is.However, the red ink painted on the paper outlines a magnificent picture of Tianshan mountains and rivers in people's hearts.Towering giant peaks, white ice caps, and endless streams.Before they knew it, everyone was waiting with bated breath, waiting for Duan Yuya's more vivid and exciting narration.However, Duan Yuya's words stopped abruptly.

"Master Duan, please continue." Zhang Yuli couldn't help urging.

Duan Yuya's head was bright and pale, but at this moment he was smiling smugly, but he added a sense of naughtiness, which did not attract suspicion at all.He was so proud that he opened his mouth slowly: "Ax Mountain Gap is the only gap around the Devil's Valley. People in Devil's Valley come in and out of the valley through this, and the river flows out of it. After years of erosion, Ax Mountain Gap is not narrow. , and there is even a considerable drop beyond Akers Mountain, where the water flows to form a waterfall."

"Such a place is not easy to be diverted artificially. But there is an accident. There was an earthquake in the northern section of Tianshan Mountains 30 years ago, and Akers Mountain was half buried in the earthquake. At the same time, the west side of Devil's Valley A hole was opened, and the snow water flowing from the giant hump was diverted due to the earthquake, and part of it flowed out from the gap, and this gap was facing the country of Paga.”

"Because the Paga country is located at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the rain cannot pass through the Tianshan Mountains, so the vast area of ​​the Paga country is the Gobi desert, which is extremely dry. This small stream of diverted water is extremely precious to the Paga country. Therefore, it is normal for the Paga Kingdom to do anything."

After Duan Yuya finished speaking, Shi Shiran stood up and straightened his clothes: "That's all I know, I'll ask the people in Devil's Valley for the details."

Everyone was still immersed in Duan Yuya's words and couldn't come back to their senses.Duan Yuya was able to explain the geography of the Tianshan Mountains clearly and logically, and he could even draw a detailed map of the mountains by hand. This kind of thing is unbelievable unless you see it with your own eyes.Doesn't this mean that this person has almost traveled all over the Tianshan Mountains?That is the dangerous Tianshan Mountain!

The ancients did not have satellites or aviation equipment, so they drew a map by foot, drawing wherever they went.So it's no wonder that the ministers looked at Zhang Yuli as if they were looking at a god.

Because of my experience, although I also feel that Duan Yuya is very capable, I am not as surprised as the courtiers. I coughed lightly to signal everyone to come back to their senses, and then asked Duan Yuya: "You haven't explained the letter from Devil Valley asking for help, Pa What is the special connection between Canadians diverting rivers and Devil's Valley?"

Duan Yuya turned to me: "Your Majesty, the plan of the Paga Kingdom is to completely seal off the gap in Mount Akers, so that the melted water from the giant hump can only go through a new gap and form a new river. However, the gap opened in the west, facing the It is the place where the residents of Devil's Valley live. Devil's Valley is not a small valley. Even after so many years, the survivors only occupied the west side with the best environment. If the river is diverted, it will inevitably flood the residence of the survivors in the valley. "

"Moreover, for this plan, the Paga Kingdom has sent a large number of troops to station in the New Gap and Ax Mountain. Even the valleys are full of martial arts practitioners. It is still difficult to protect themselves in the face of a country's force. The reason why the Paga Kingdom dared to do this is because they knew that the Valley of the Devils was hanging outside and isolated from the world, and even the Great Yin court didn't know of its existence!"

Speaking of this, Duan Yuya suddenly knelt down: "Your Majesty! The survivors of Devil's Valley have lived in a remote place for many years. They lived a life of having a country and a family and dare not return. Now they are bullied by other countries. Although they are ashamed of their ancestors' mistakes, they still hope that the court All the survivors in the valley can promise that there will be no Devil Valley outside the world, but Tajimele, a small village on the border of the Great Yin, if they can protect them!"

"Taji Mele?" I said slowly, "What's the meaning of this name?"

"Return to Your Majesty, in the dialect of the local herdsmen, it means a quiet valley." Duan Yuya replied.

I pondered for a moment, then smiled: "Taji Mele, a peaceful valley, but now Taji Mele, the westernmost town in my Great Yin, has lost its tranquility. Ministers, what should I do?"

"Anyone who disturbs the peace of my Great Yin will be punished no matter how far away!" Hussar General Pan Yuming stood up, his words sonorous and resounding.

"Even if you are far away, you will be punished!" All the ministers shouted unanimously, with great momentum.

"Okay! Zhou Shangshu, I will give you a chance to make up for what you have done. Cooperate with General Pan and make preparations for sending troops to Paga. Otherwise, your position as Minister of the Ministry of War will be freed!"

"Chen, I will fulfill my mission!" The desperate Zhou Shangshu yelled out excitedly after hearing my order.

I walked up to Duan Yuya and squatted down, took away the ink brush he was still holding in his hand under his astonished gaze, and crossed out the three characters Duan Yuya's revised and marked Devil Valley on the Kanyu map, and re-wrote Tajimele on the side. Zhen Wuzi, and put the pen back into Duan Yuya's hand and stood up by himself.

"Taji Mele Town existed on the border of Great Yin more than a hundred years ago. It is the descendant of brave immigrants who went to the frontier to open up the hinterland of Great Yin. It has made great contributions to national integration. It is one of the rich towns on the northwest border. Now, the villain of Paja country covets the wealth of Tajimele and invades the border town, intending to cause disputes between the two countries. My Great Yin is a country of etiquette. How can a great country be deceived by villains? I will go to Paga now, Help King Paga eliminate the culprit who intends to destroy the relationship between the two countries!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" The voices of the courtiers echoed like the waves hitting the shore, and I stood proudly like the largest boulder on the shore, while Duan Yuya and his apprentice Yi Yang were like untied boats, tossed and tossed by the turmoil.The look in my eyes is very strange.

The author has something to say:

This chapter stuck with me for three days. I was really suffocated. I didn’t dare to change the copywriting when I was on the job list. It is said that I would fall off the list.I'm so sorry little angels.As for Lan Lan, his master is already in place, will he be far behind? _(:з」∠)_
