"Go and call all the chief officers of the six departments!"
"ah?"
"promise."
All the officials in the Tai Chi Palace left in twos and threes as Liu Cong left.

Jiang Wan and Pang Tong walked together with Ma Liang. Pang Tong was the first to speak, "Ji Chang, what you just said is too much! Even if the king is wrong in every possible way, you cannot do it in front of the civil and military officials of the court.
, are you scolding him like this?"
Fei Yi continued, "Yes, Ji Chang, what's more, the king is just a little more affectionate and righteous, and loves the people like a son. Can these be considered shortcomings?"
Jiang Wan continued, "Throughout history, there has never been a monarch like the king even in a hundred years. The king just made some small mistakes. Who can guarantee that he will never make mistakes in life?"
After listening to the advice of several people, Ma Liang remained unmoved and said sternly, "It is precisely because of the king's status as an eternal sage king that we, as ministers, should encourage the king well. We need to know that the strength of the Chu State depends on the king."
The last one."
"Fourth brother, you can't do this. Even if you don't consider the king's feelings, you still have to think about the future of our Ma family, right? If the king gets angry, the entire Ma family will be in disaster!" Ma Liang
Ma Su next to him was a little angry, regardless of his brother's identity.
Ma Liang paused, his eyes still firm, "I still say what I said, for the sake of the country, I will not avoid the axe!"
"Hey! I'm so angry! You have such a bad temper!" Jiang Wan stomped her feet in anger.
Several people looked at each other and said no more.
"Several adults, please stay!"
Wang Gong caught up with him panting, "Guys, the king has summoned the chief officers of the six departments, please invite them."

Several people looked at each other, Jiang Wan took a step forward, raised his hands and asked, "Grand Councilor, how is the king doing now?"
Wang Gong glanced at Ma Liang and said with a sneer, "Master Ma is talking loudly in the court, but the king is very angry."
Wang Gong didn't like Ma Liang very much. Wasn't it because of Ma Liang that he was punished by Liu Cong?
It's just that he didn't dare to show it on weekdays. Now, seeing Liu Cong losing his temper with Ma Liang, Wang Gong felt that Ma Liang was probably finished, so his words were a bit arrogant.
"I said, Mr. Ma, the king is your king and father no matter what. As the saying goes, a son never complains about his father's fault. How can any minister criticize the king like this? Although our family is just a eunuch, we all understand this simple truth. Ma
Don’t you understand, adults?”
"you……"
Fei Yi grabbed Ma Liang who was about to have a fit, stepped forward and held his hands with a smile, "If you have any advice, please give me some advice. We will try to persuade him."
"Okay, don't delay things. The king is still waiting. Mr. Ma, you have to stop it. If you make the king angry again, I'm afraid no one can protect you."
Liu Cong's palace in Xiangyang was larger in scale and more complex than the palace of Liu Xie, the emperor of Xudu.
Even the carriage has five horses, one less than the six horses used by the emperor. To be honest, this is already a transgression. But in this era, in Chu State, who cares about this?

On the southwest side of Taiji Palace is the side hall of Qilin Hall, where Liu Cong waited for his courtiers.
"Your Majesty, everyone has been called."
Wang Gong stood at the door of the side hall and cautiously spoke inside.
"Let them in."
Liu Cong's angry response came from inside.
"My lords, please."
Not only Ma Liang and Pang Tong came, but a series of local officials from Jingchu such as Kuai Yue, Yi Ji, Zhou Buyi, etc. also arrived.
"I'll pay my respects..."
"Those false courtesy will be dispensed with. Please take your seats." Liu Cong had already changed into casual clothes and looked around at everyone and said angrily.
It was obvious that they were still upset after being contradicted by Ma Liang, so everyone did not dare to say anything and sat down in silence.

Liu Cong did not speak, and the whole palace was silent. Fei Yi poked Ma Liang, and Ma Liang reluctantly stood up and cupped his hands with Liu Cong and said, "Your Majesty, I just bumped into the king in the court hall. Please punish me." "
"It doesn't matter, I'm not so narrow-minded, and Da Chu has never punished anyone for his words. Please take a seat."
Ma Liang took the initiative to lower his head, and Liu Cong's tone softened a lot.
After Ma Liang sat down again, Liu Cong said to everyone, "Everyone, I came to you to discuss the canal from the Huaihe River to the Yangtze River."
The Battle of Huainan made Liu Cong realize the importance of improving logistics and transportation.
This is just from Jiangnan to Huainan, and the losses are already so great. If we go further north, is it still possible?
At this time, Liu Cong admired Zhuge Liang even more. He made six expeditions to Qishan and five Northern Expeditions. He went in and out of the mountains and ravines in Yizhou, and still disturbed the Wei State and spent a lot of effort to deal with it.
It is not easy to get in and out of Shu. Zhuge Liang relied on his passion and miraculous resourcefulness to form a large army for the Northern Expedition. I really don’t know how he transported grain, grass and baggage.
After everyone looked at each other, Ma Liang, who had just sat down, ignored the pulls of Fei Yi and Ma Su beside him and once again raised his hands to Liu Cong and said, "Your Majesty, the Battle of Huainan has just ended. At this time, it is not appropriate for Chu to carry out any further construction projects."
Liu Cong sighed and said earnestly, "Ji Chang, you are also one of the six chief officials after all. When will you change your impatience? Can't you wait for Gu to finish what he said?"

Ma Su grabbed Ma Liang, who was still about to speak, and said to Liu Cong first, "Your Majesty, I have received letters from Li Yan and Deng Zhi before, asking us to build a canal from Huainan to Yangzhou that is so wide that it can accommodate naval warships. , I’m afraid it will cost a lot of manpower and money.”
Liu Cong chuckled, "Of course I know this, but for the future logistics and transportation of the Northern Expedition, and to increase the connection between Huainan and Jiangnan, this river must be repaired!"
The distance from the Huaihe River to the Yangtze River is 400 miles. Digging a canal of this scale is not a matter of words.
But in Liu Cong's view, the north had become barren during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, while the south was still richer than the north even in later generations.
Several emperors of the Tang Dynasty once went to Luoyang to eat. From here, we can see how dilapidated and poor Guanzhong became hundreds of years later. By the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin decided to make Kaifeng his capital and did not consider Guanzhong.
The north has gone through wars, and up to now, Guanzhong has experienced dozens of emperors from the Qin and Han dynasties. There is a saying in later generations that the loess of Guanzhong buries the emperors.
Whether it is mausoleum projects or royal palace construction, most of the resources near Guanzhong have been occupied, and the land has gradually become barren.
Liu Cong, who aims to unify the world, needs to make plans early. The barbarians in this era are far less powerful than those in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. If he doesn't take action as soon as possible and get some free labor, except for him, the founding king, who in the future will have the courage to do this?
thing?
Judging from the current situation, Cao Cao will definitely not be able to survive himself. Even if Cao Cao cannot destroy Wei when he is here, Liu Cong will definitely dominate the world in his lifetime.
Then the so-called Five Random China will not appear, and the aristocratic families that have expanded due to troubled times will not rise. For the balance between the north and the south, and for the exchange and integration of the entire China, the canal must be dug! The recent serious transcoding has given us more motivation
