In the capital, Zhao Xu felt something was wrong after Zhao Shu left.
He didn't know what was wrong, but he felt like something was missing.
When Zhao Shu was here, he only had to study hard and think hard, and he didn't need to bear anything.
At that time, he felt that life was very miserable.
Now that he is ordered to supervise the country, he should not be depressed, right?
Why!
In the early morning, Zhao Xu got up early.
The woman beside him moved, and Zhao Xu said, "You don't need to worry about it."
The woman quickly sat up, and a woman's breath came over her. Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.
But he immediately remembered Shen An's instructions.
Young people, if you don’t exercise restraint now, be careful you won’t need it later.
He didn't learn his father's infatuation. No, it was more because the wife Gao Taotao chose for him, Xiang Shi, was not very strong, so he could act like a little bee unscrupulously.
This woman looked so charming that he couldn't put it down.
However, women should not be arrogant, and even if they love her, they should not show it in color.
He got up, washed, had breakfast, and went to the court.
Han Qi and Fu Bi went to the north, and Zeng Gongliang and Bao Zheng were left, plus Wen Yanbo. This was a small court.
"Fan Yang, what's left is Youzhou. This is a decisive battle. With His Majesty in Daming Mansion, the Song Dynasty will definitely win."
Zeng Gongliang regretted that he could not participate in the Northern Expedition, but Han Qi went.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but touch his thigh.
Why!
I'm really not used to not having that broad body in front of me, and not being able to get sneaky kicks or slaps from time to time!
Zhao Xu is the supervisor of the country. Most of the time he just listens and then briefly expresses his position.
Zeng Gongliang and Bao Zheng are old ministers, and Wen Yanbo is a former prime minister. The three stooges handle political affairs very quickly.
It didn't take long for things to get better.
Regarding the last topic, Zeng Gongliang looked solemn.
In government affairs, the first and last issues are often not trivial.
Zhao Xu squinted his eyes and looked into the void, as if he was in a fuzzy state.
This is gesture.
——I never thought about tainting rights!
This is the norm for Royal Father and Son.
"There was a lot of rain this spring." Zeng Gongliang looked at the wat board, "It's just more rain than in previous years. Someone from the Third Division went down to check, and I was a little worried about whether there would be flooding."
The Yellow River is not far from Bianliang, winding like a long dragon.
This long dragon has a bad temper, especially when someone wants it to move to another place, it will definitely roar.
Wen Yanbo coughed dryly and prepared to speak.
The Yellow River is not very friendly to him.
During the late emperor's reign, he was pleased to be prime minister, but someone concocted the Hetu incident and stabbed him.
The Hetu is the most famous product of the Yellow River.
Why!
Thinking of this, even Zhao Xu looked at him with sympathy.
Everyone knows that the Hetu incident was false, but the situation at the time required this incident, so it became true.
Wen Yanbo said: "We need to be cautious about this matter. There are so many things going on now, and the Northern Expedition is the biggest. Everything must be based on the Northern Expedition."
This is the tone.
A veteran is a veteran, and this wake-up call is just right.
Bao Zheng didn't say anything and dispersed later. He went straight to the Third Division.
Han Jiang is very busy.
"The affairs of the Third Division are already very heavy. With the Northern Expedition, there are so many things that I just want to crash to death in the duty room."
Han Jiang glanced at the wall, and Bao Zheng said very straightforwardly: "That wall can't kill anyone."
Han Jiang covered her forehead.
Bao Zheng said seriously: "When I was serving as the Third Secretary-General, there was an official who was corrupt. When he was arrested, he hit his head against the wall. As a result, he hit a big bump on his head, but he did not die. But later Crazy."
"Xiren..."
Han Jiang wanted to duel Bao Zheng, but felt that he might not have a chance of winning.
He let go of his hand, "The matter of food and grass you mentioned... Thanks to the good weather in the past few years, and the Song Dynasty's victory over the Western thieves, we have accumulated a lot of food and grass. But as you know, with the Northern Expedition, the army will be a glutton for gold. , and the food and grass were delivered like a flowing stream."
"Xiren." He leaned forward slightly, "But it's about Chunyu?"
There are no good people in Zaifu, so Han Jiang guessed Bao Zheng's intention in an instant.
Bao Zheng nodded, "I'm wondering if we can allocate some money and food... to repair the river embankment."
"Disaster!"
Han Jiang seemed to have thought about this issue, "You have to know that I, the third commander, are only focused on the Northern Expedition. If the Northern Expedition is successful, I can accept anything. Xiren..."
Han Jiang lowered his voice, but with a fierce look on his face, "This is the only chance for the Song Dynasty in a hundred years. Let me say..." He looked at the closed door and lowered his voice again, " What I shouldn’t say is that as long as the Northern Expedition succeeds, it will be regarded as the Yellow River bursting its banks, I..."
He punched the table hard, his breathing quickening.
This was a difficult choice, and Han Jiang obviously chose the Northern Expedition as the main one.
…
In the palace, Zhao Xu has summoned Wang Yu and others.
"Have you noticed anything about the rain this spring?"
Wang Yu was aloof and arrogant, while Su Shi was smiling.
"There has been more rain this year." Su Shi said, "The spring rain has been colorful, but this year it has been a majestic spring rain, but a certain person's poems are less, which should not be the case."
Zhao Xu took a look at him and felt that Su Shi was quite suitable as a sacrifice.
Wang Yu raised his head slightly and looked into the void, "This matter should not be underestimated."
Zhao Xu nodded, and Wang Yu continued: "Once the Yellow River bursts its banks, the coast...the key is that the Hebei Road will be unlucky. The ministers in the court must be paying attention to the Northern Expedition. As for the Yellow River bursting its banks, I think that even if it breaks, As long as the Northern Expedition is successful, they all think it's worth it."
Su Shi coughed dryly, "Why can't it be repaired? Recruiting civilians is not a problem. It's just money and food."
Wang Yu glanced at him and said, "The amount of money and food consumed by the Northern Expedition is terrifying. The key is, it depends on how long the Northern Expedition lasts. If Yelu Hongji sends reinforcements, and the war will continue for another one or two months, Zizhan, then the money and food will be the decision." The key to victory or defeat.
Keeping more money and food at this time will give you a better chance of winning at that time, which is why the prime ministers and assistants are so ruthless. "
Su Shi rested his chin on his hands, "In other words, the most important thing is how long it will take for the Northern Expedition to end."
Wang Yu looked at him with pleased eyes, "Yes."
Brother, can you please stop making bad ideas?
Su Shi sighed: "But a certain person is Xin'an North."
Wang Yu smiled, and Zhao Xu did the same.
Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes. Wang Yu knew that he wanted to make a decision, so he waved and waited for Wang Chongnian to come over and said, "Bring some wine."
Wang Chongnian glanced at Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu shook his head, "I don't need wine to help me make up my mind yet!"
For the indecisive, alcohol is often their courage.
Wang Yu heard something about it and said, "So, let's go to the Yushitai."
Zhao Xu nodded, Su Shi was confused, "What are you going to do?"
Wang Yu stood up and said: "Zizhan, you can go find out the news and see if this year's spring rain will cause floods."
"good!"
Su Shi was a sincere man, and he went straight outside the city later.
He met Chunyu just after leaving the city.
Spring rain is as precious as oil, and it moistens things silently.
But this year’s spring rain was not light.
Su Shi was unlucky.
He struggled all the way to a place thirty miles away from the Yellow River. The horses roared and the people stood up and threw him down.
He was almost knocked down by this blow, but when he got up, the horse had already run away without a trace.
This is the time to carry it!
He stumbled towards the nearby village.
The village is not big, but it is raining heavily outside at the moment. Everyone is squatting at home with nothing to do. Some are beating their children, some are beating their wives...
In this excitement, Su Shi came.
"I dare to ask...will this rain cause heavy flooding this year?"
Su Shi, who looked like a drowned rat, made the villagers very curious.
Several young people said no, and then an old man scolded them away.
"Go quickly!"
The old man was also ready to drive away Su Shi.
"Old man."
Su Shi said pitifully: "A certain person is the censor, who came to visit to check on the public sentiment."
"Censor?"
The old man asked: "Is there any evidence?"
Su Shi met a cautious old man, but when he took out a semi-finished memorial that was too soaked to read, the old man didn't believe it. Finally he took out his private seal and stamped it.
"Che lady..."
A man who was said to be the most knowledgeable man in the village looked at the words printed on the seal and asked doubtfully: "What is Che Po?"
Su Shi looked up to the sky and sighed, "It's Dongpo!"
I go!
Someone is not a mother-in-law, but a man!
At this moment Su Shi wanted to die.
"do not know!"
The old man still ignored me.
Su Shi was desperate. The key was that he was tired, hungry, and a little cold.
He felt that it was impossible to ask for some hot water and soup cakes, so he took out a bunch of copper coins.
There was more light in the old man's eyes, "This year's spring rain was heavier than that year when the Yellow River burst its banks."
Su Shi looked down at the copper coins in his hand and just wanted to slap himself.
You have to pay to tell the truth!
He felt that the folk customs were not simple and good enough.
So he paid to rent a donkey again, and sat back like this.
There was a big man following him along the way and said: "Su Yushi, please leave him alone. He...his elder brother is sick. In order to cure the disease, the family has spent all their money."
Su Shi had some enlightenment.
Many times, being strong also requires compromising with reality.
But he was proud that he didn't know how to do it.
After arriving home, he started writing furiously and then collapsed.
"Give it to...Give it to Yuanze!"
Su Shi had a fever, but still remembered his responsibilities.
When Wang Yu got this record, he frowned and said, "Zizhan is too honest and can be a friend."
He didn't move.
Some news came later.
“I can’t say it’s because the rain this year has been too heavy, but it’s certain there will be flooding.”
"The fisherman on the Yellow River said that if there is no flood this year, he will burn his fishing boat. He said this after receiving a lot of money. Someone told him that if it was a lie, the Imperial City Division would find He speaks."
"..."
Just after Zhao Xu said those words, Wang Yu had already made arrangements, and these men went to the Yellow River to inquire for information.
Wang Yu later went to the palace to ask for an audience.
"The news everywhere is that there will be a flood this year. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net But it's hard to say whether the flood will burst the embankments."
Su Shi's news was placed among these news, which seemed particularly inconspicuous. After Zhao Xufan saw it, he said, "Zizhan is a good man."
He continued to read the news, and after reading it, he said, "So... I understand."
Wang Yu asked with great interest: "What do you want to do? Back off? Or push forward."
Zhao Xu knelt down on the mat, took a deep breath, and said, "Some people say that the prince should do nothing to supervise the country, but I cannot sit back and watch the Yellow River flood."
He immediately summoned the ministers and ministers to discuss matters and mentioned the possibility of the Yellow River flooding this spring.
what to do?
The ministers were also in a dilemma.
"Recruit civilian men to repair the river embankment!"
Zhao Xu's decision immediately triggered a backlash.
There are various opinions, but not much support.
…
Good night.
