Showa Palace is very quiet every day, so quiet that Tao Mujia feels that he has stepped into the life of cultivating immortals in old age.

Lian Cha hadn't seen him once since the last time the Royal Garden broke up. More than a dozen officers and soldiers outside the palace guarded him closely. He had no news from the outside world for more than three months. Fortunately, 1551 was still under surveillance, so he listened to him. 1551 reported Dugu Qi's recent situation.

Dugu Qi seems to be carrying out a secret project, and they don't know what it is, but recently people have frequently reported that the project is about to be completed, and this project seems to have been going on for a long time, probably more than two years.

It started almost at the same time as the water conservancy project. At that time, Tao Mujia didn't notice it, and thought it was just one of the water conservancy projects. Now, when he heard Dugu Qi muttering his name to himself, a kind of anticipation arose in his heart for no reason.

The hope value has also slowly increased with the completion of this project. It seems that since he said "like", it has not stopped, and it has risen to 85 in a blink of an eye.

He didn't speak, just sat by the window and watched the fallen leaves outside, and watched the migratory birds leave the cold north and fly towards the south.

1551 asked him what he was watching, Tao Mujia said: See how many seasons he will pick me up.

1551 was stunned by his words. He didn't expect him to be so nasty when he talked about love, so he kicked over the dog food: This year's harvest is not good, and the farmers in Lianguo are almost out of food. The movement is too abnormal, maybe there will be a big movement.

This year's harvest is not good. Dugu Qi said this before Dugu Qi came. In the early spring of this year, there was another flood in the southwest, which flooded a large area of ​​crops. The refugees went north, but they were blocked halfway. Only a small number of people risked their lives. Jumping into the river and going upstream, most of them starved to death on the side of the road.

Most of the disaster relief officials had been corrupted, but now they were arrested. Liancha killed him and used his private treasury to fill in the gaps, barely quelling the anger of the people.

Tao Mujia sighed worriedly, not knowing what happened to the people outside, 1551 said that he was just a passer-by, so there was no need to worry about it.

"Even if I'm a visitor, these people are real, with flesh and blood. I didn't think the word "a cheap life" had any meaning before. I didn't realize how cheap a human life is until I visited those flood-stricken areas this spring. To be honest, I already kind of hate Liancha."

Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, but it is a pity that Lian Chagui is the king of a country, he only has hegemony in his eyes, and treats human life as nothing, like a madman.

Tao Mujia spent a few more days of leisure, and finally someone came to call him.

The person who came was Lian Cha's trusted eunuch Gao Liu, he must have come according to Lian Cha's intention, so Tao Mujia got up to greet him.

"Why is father-in-law here? But does His Majesty have something to explain?"

Gao Liu had a smile on his face, "There is indeed something to do, please accompany me to meet His Majesty."

Tao Mujia nodded and let him lead the way.

In the imperial study room, Lian Cha was still working hard to review the memorials. Tao Mujia entered the imperial study room, the guards outside closed the door, and the two of them were left in the room. Tao Mujia stood in front of Lian Cha for a long time, and he did not move even if Lian Cha did not speak.

Lian Cha threw away the pen after approving the notebook, and angrily slapped it on the table with the notebook.

Watching his movements, Tao Mujia knew that he asked him to speak first, so he followed his will and asked, "Why is Your Majesty so troubled?"

"How do you say those refugees should be dealt with?"

"Tackling corruption, building temporary shelters for refugees, and distributing supplies, at least let them survive this winter, wait until next spring, reduce taxes, and encourage people to go south to cultivate." Tao Mujia only put forward a few unsatisfactory opinions, but ushered in honesty. Cha sneered.

"Why are you laughing, His Majesty?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly felt that you may all be blaming Gu, who doesn't have the ability to govern this country well."

Tao Mujia didn't say anything, he didn't want to say anything against his will, and he didn't want to expose his shortcomings in front of the emperor.

"Forget it, Gu is really eager for quick success and instant benefit. If the flood incident does not subside, Gu's position may not last long. I called you here today because I have something to do. After three days, you will follow Gao Liu. He told you what to do. Just do it."

Lian Cha waved his hand wearily, and drove Tao Mujia out before he could speak.

Tao Mujia didn't expect to be sent back to Sitian Pavilion, it's really strange.

After three days, everyone in Sitian Pavilion was ready to go. Gao Liu was waiting for him outside Sitian Pavilion with a scroll of edict.

Tao Mujia looked at the battle and guessed that Liancha was going to use him to block the gun, saying that natural disasters are God's will, let the people of the country be calm and calm, and give Liancha enough time to prepare food and winter clothes.

However, when he got to the altar, Tao Mujia opened the imperial edict and was about to read it, but his voice suddenly fell silent. The imperial edict did not mention a single word about the disaster. Lian Guo has put Lian Guo in trouble. At such a difficult time, the whole country must work together to fight against the enemy.

Tao Mujia stood on the altar and looked at this large paper, almost shaking with anger. This is completely using this disaster as a stepping stone for his "hegemony"!

With a sound of "snap", Tao Mujia closed the imperial edict, and solemnly said to the eyes of thousands of people looking up at the audience: "Natural disasters have come to the world, starvation is everywhere, and corpses are floating for thousands of miles. Conquest, waste people and waste money..."

1551: Are you crazy?

Tao Mujia: Shut up.

"...to repair the ancestral halls in various places, to reclaim the land, to rectify corrupt officials, to make the court stable inside and outside, and the family and the country to prosper..."

After finishing speaking, there was no sound below. Tao Mujia knew that his eloquence was not good, and he didn't even have confidence in himself, let alone give confidence to those suffering people.

In short, his task was completed, he was impulsive, offended everyone who should be offended, and it was useless to talk too much, so he stepped off the stage and led everyone in Sitian Pavilion back to Sitian Pavilion in a hurry.

News from the capital spread quickly, Lian Cha knew everything within an hour, so he called Tao Mujia the Imperial Study Room.

Surprisingly, Tao Mujia didn't see much angry expression on his face, Liancha's expression can be approximated to nothing.

Being so calm made Tao Mujia feel aggrieved.

1551: Silly!He just dug a hole for you to jump in, and you just jumped into it stupidly!

Tao Mujia: I know, he is just testing my attitude, what is there to test?If he doesn't give up, I'll do it. Anyway, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, and he will die.

"I didn't expect that we would come to this point, Ten Luo, logically speaking, I should kill you."

"Yes."

Lian Cha looked up at him, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

I'm afraid, but I've died twice, and I don't seem to be too afraid anymore, "I'm naturally afraid of death, but I did say this for your majesty's consideration. It's just that I have different political opinions. If your majesty can't tolerate me, you can lock me up." Go to prison, out of sight."

Lian Cha sighed, and leaned back on the chair, "Forget it, I know you've made up your mind, so I won't force you, go back to Shi'an Palace."

Tao Mujia thanked him and turned to leave.

The door was closed by the guards, and Gao Liu leaned over and whispered: "Your Majesty, why bother? You only need to say to Mr. Teng, 'If you are soft, let him go', Mr. Teng may not obey your wishes. If he says he has sinned against himself, won't the people in the world blame you?"

Lian Cha lowered his eyes and looked at the document in his hand, "Sometimes Gu also wonders if he has made a mistake, but even if he made a mistake, he can't look back. I really thought he would accompany us in the prosperous world, but in the end it was just empty talk."

Gao Liu had been with Liancha for more than 20 years, and it was the first time he saw such a depressed expression on his face, so he withdrew silently, leaving the imperial study room to Liancha alone.

After a long time, there was a loud noise inside, pens, inks, papers, inkstones, cups and cups all fell to pieces on the ground. Lian Cha stood behind the overturned desk and looked indifferently at the guards who rushed in.

"Clean up things."

No one dared to try to figure out the emperor's mind, so he got down to work.

The news of the emperor's guilt spread all over the streets and reached Dugu Qi's ears. Knowing that Tao Mujia had done such a dangerous thing, he almost wanted to send troops to attack Lian Guo immediately, and finally calmed down under the persuasion of the guards.

He still has an agreement with Lian Cha. If he really sent troops, he might endanger Tao Mujia's life. He stayed still, and Lian Guo didn't take any action against Wu Guo. a bit.

There was no truce in the winter, and the Lian country was fighting fiercely with other countries outside, and the floods were gradually smoothed over time.

Dugu Qi is also collecting the battle reports of the Lian Kingdom. What is unexpected is that the Lian Kingdom has successively conquered several cities in the early spring. The news of victory is frequent, and the domestic situation is very good. It does not look like it has experienced a major natural disaster at all.

Tao Mujia's information was obtained through Dugu Qi, and I don't know if it was deliberately released by Lian Guo's spies to cover up the truth.

But no matter what, he doesn't care too much. No matter how the fate changes, one of the nodes will never change. Dugu Qi will definitely win the war between Wu Guo and Lian Guo.

In June, Dugu Qi's hope value suddenly increased from +2 to +87. It is said that the project has been completed, and there are new problems on Liancha's side. The Lu State in the northeast is very tough. The Killing Army suffered heavy losses.

Battle reports are sent back from the front, and the morale of the army is scattered, and there is an urgent need for a clean investigation to stabilize the morale of the army.

Before leaving, Lian Cha went to Zhaohe Palace, Tao Mujia was quietly reading a book in the dormitory, saw a tall black figure outside the window, knew that Lian Cha had come, he put down the book, and listened to Lian Cha's words.

"The three kingdoms of Qi, Lu and Wei have been separated into three separate cities, and the solitary Miezi army will surely go all over the Central Plains. Master Guoshi, do you know what destiny means?"

Tao Mujia was noncommittal.

"Gu is like this is the destiny! Gu is the emperor of the whole world! Everyone must submit to Gu! No one can be an exception, no one!" Lian Cha's voice was full of madness.

Tao Mujia smiled indifferently, and did not refute his words.

Liancha's roaring stopped, he was like a child who had no candy to eat, he hit the cotton with all his fists, and there was no echo.

He stood outside the door for a long time, then rushed into the dormitory madly, grabbed Tao Mujia by the collar, and dragged Tao Mujia to the city wall all the way.

The palace people were so frightened that they hid on both sides, and the oppressive atmosphere permeated the air.

The city wall is very high, and you can see the hazy mountains and rivers in the distance, as well as the slender Xun River. Lian Cha grabbed his collar and pointed into the distance.

"Did you see it! This is Gu's country! This is the prosperous world that Gu will create!"

Tao Mujia overlooked the Dalian country, his eyes were indifferent, this is not the country of Liancha, not in the past, not now, and not in the future.

"Your Majesty, the people are the most important, the community is second, and the king is the least, can your majesty understand? Water can carry a boat or overturn it, so can your majesty understand?" Tao Mujia smiled nonchalantly, "We are all in this river , gone forever.”

Lian Cha was discouraged, and threw him on the city wall, looked at him for a while, and left alone as if he had lost his soul.

Tao Mujia tightly wrapped his cotton coat to keep out the cold, but he couldn't resist the coldness in his heart. He watched Lian Cha go farther and farther, and felt a burst of laughter and sadness.

On the day of the expedition, Lian Cha stood in front of Tao Mujia's gate for a long time without saying a word, and led a mighty army to march towards Weiguo.
