Chapter 1587 to make the purpose
"The Lord of the Lord and the two countries came to discuss what matters, but did not tell us." Wang Daozi answered the question in Zhou Fan and the others, "The Lord of the Lord let us receive them well."
Even the Three Principles don’t know what the Emperor wants to talk to them?
Everyone was silent again. If the emperor didn't want to say it, no one would know, but this would not prevent all kinds of speculation from appearing in their hearts.
"Do you know who is coming?" Duanmu Xiaohong asked seriously.
Although the Western Liang and Eastern Vietnam are far inferior to the Great Wei, there are also experts. If the top monks come, it is very dangerous to put those monks into the mirror when his teacher is not in Jingdu.
"We asked them to send people below the Dao Realm." Ye Gaoshan explained: "They agreed, but we must check carefully before they enter the mirror and don't be deceived by them."
"I want those people to come," Dongmen Chufei sneered: "If it were them, then you don't want to leave when you come."
It’s not that Dongmen is blindly arrogant when playing the flute, the mirror has the most powerful guardian formation in the entire Wei Dynasty. Both countries really dare to send those top monks into the mirror capital. Once the formation is activated, it will be difficult to escape.
Duanmu Xiaohong was worried that she would fight in the mirror and hurt innocent people.
So the two countries probably don’t have the courage to send such masters into Jingdu.
"It's better to be careful in everything. Then we and Eunuch Long from the palace will go to welcome the envoys of the two countries." Xiao Hui said.
Of course, the people in the hall will not have any objections.
After discussing how to welcome the two countries to envoys, everyone dispersed.
Zhou Fan, Duanmu Xiaohong and Chen Zheng from the academy left in the same talisman car.
After leaving the Mirror Palace, Chen Zheng said with a serious expression: "Senior Brother, what do you think the emperor wants to talk to Xiliang and Dongyue?"
"At this time..." Duanmu Xiaohong paused and said, "I'm afraid it's not that the Lord wants to talk to them, but that they want to talk to them."
Zhou Fan's face was a little subtle. He understood that the catastrophe was approaching, and the West Liang and Dongyue could no longer sit still, so he came to Dawei for negotiation.
In the first two great disasters, the Western Liang and Eastern Yue were not called Liang or Yue, but almost became a land without people. Only then did they slowly recover and recover. Once the great disaster came, the creatures were devastated and the dynasties were destroyed. This was the crisis that the two countries had to face.
Only the Great Wei barely survived the first two catastrophes. Even if less than 10% of the population died, the foundation was still there and the country was not destroyed. How could such a thing not attract attention?
Chen Zheng's idea was similar to Duanmu Xiaohong's. He said worriedly: "This kind of thing is impossible to talk about. We can't take care of ourselves and can't help them."
Chen Zheng quickly looked stunned again, "Does the emperor still want to agree to them..."
"It's absolutely impossible." Duanmu Xiaohong's face darkened, "Even if the emperor agrees, the Great Buddha Temple, our academy and aristocratic families will not agree."
"What did you promise them?" Zhou Fan felt a little confused.
"The quota for entering the palace." Chen Zheng did not hide it. Zhou Fan was qualified to know this kind of thing at this level. No one told him before, it was just because he had just become the Lord of Hanbei and had not been exposed to this matter in a short period of time.
Quota for entering the palace? Zhou Fan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"To be more precise, it is the quota for entering the palace during the Great Disaster." Chen Zheng said with a serious expression: "As soon as the Great Disaster comes, the safest place in the Great Wei Dynasty is the Jingdu, and the safest place in the Jingdu is the Jingdu."
"The royal family is kind. Every time a great disaster comes, people outside will be allowed to go to the palace to take refuge."
"But no matter how big the Jing Palace is, the number of people it can accommodate is limited. In addition, considering the consumption of grain reserves, the Jing Palace can accommodate up to one million people."
One million people?
Zhou Fan's mood immediately became heavier, which sounded a lot, but the Wei Dynasty was too big. Even if it was Jingdu City, the population reached 20 million!
"How long can one million people support in the palace?" Zhou Fan asked with a frown.
"As long as Tongtian Mirror does not have any problems, as long as you control the balance of the population, there will be no problem for decades." Duanmu Xiaohong replied: "We have made a detailed plan to grow grain in the palace and be self-sufficient."
"How to confirm the quota?" Zhou Fan asked the question he was most concerned about.
This mirror palace has become a shelter when the catastrophe comes, and the chance of hiding inside is greater than before.
Duanmu Xiaohong was silent and said, "The quota was settled when the catastrophe was about to come. Every force recognized by the official will have a certain quota. In addition, talents from various fields can also enter the quota of the mirror palace."
Of course, ordinary people cannot enter the Mirror Palace and can only take refuge in other places outside the Mirror Palace. The chances of survival are not lacking, but they are very low.
But what can I do? In addition to those aristocratic families, talents, warriors, and monks from all fields are the foundation of the Great Wei country, and it is also the guarantee for the rapid rise of the Great Wei after the disaster. It is the hope of the Great Wei.
"Sometimes, we have to make cruel choices." Duanmu Xiaohong said: "Even a Buddhist who advocates equality of all beings, there is nothing to say about such things."
"Zhou Fan, as the master of Hanbei Dao, you also have a certain number of places in your hands. You can send your relatives and friends to the Jing Palace." Chen Zheng said.
Zhou Fan nodded slightly. It was not surprising that he had a quota, but it still made him feel heavy. "So, is the envoys of the two countries going to the palace to meet the saint this time? "
"It should be." Chen Zheng said: "Apart from the quota, I can't think of anything else they want to talk about when they come to see the emperor."
"The emperor will not give them a quota. Our quota is not enough. How can we control their Xiliang and Dongyue?"
He said that, but Chen Zheng did not have enough confidence, because it became increasingly difficult for the emperor to guess what he did.
The next morning, before dawn, Zhou Fan got up early and took a talisman car to the North Thirty-fourth Gate with Duanmu Xiaohong and Chen Zheng.
The North Thirty-fourth Gate is just a spare door and will not open if nothing happens.
Envoys from both countries will come in from this door.
The official talisman masters are checking the detection talisman array of the North Thirty-fourth Gate, and adding other talisman arrays into it as arranged in advance. This is a talisman array to detect whether there is a monk.
Of course, having these talisman arrays is not enough, and the other party may have the means to get away with it.
That's why Zhou Fan and the others came here in person to confirm the situation of the envoy.
There were warriors from Yiluansi standing on both sides of the door.
The three phases, the two national masters, the Dongmen playing the flute, and the Long Eunuch have also arrived.
The two national masters from large and small Buddhist temples have always been taciturn, and the aristocratic families represented by the Three Kings are incompatible with the academy.
The flute played at the east gate was standing and no one paid attention to it. In this case, if he talked to the three princesses, he would definitely offend the academy. If he talked to the people on the academy, he would definitely offend the aristocratic family. This did not conform to his principles of dealing with things, so he might as well ignore anyone.
As for Eunuch Long, he would not pay attention to these people outside the palace. He just came to monitor him.
For a time, no one except the fushi warriors who were responsible for the work and the great figures at the city gate spoke much.
