Chapter 1,766 Where Is the Responsibility? 1 Thing Down 1 Thing

The Prince of Jianguo wanted to recruit migrant workers to build the river embankment.

The people were naturally rejoicing, but the decision on this matter had nothing to do with them.

As soon as Lu Ji heard the news, he hurriedly went to find Sima Guang.

"Jun Shi, at the beginning of the Northern Expedition, money and food were spent like water. If it continues for a month, the Third Division will also have a headache."

As soon as he entered the check-in room, he looked for tea to drink and complained while drinking.

Sima Guang sat quietly by the window and looked at him quietly.

After drinking tea, Lu Jie sat down and touched his beard, "If we want to repair the river embankment, we will have to send at least tens of thousands of civilians, right? Tens of thousands of civilians will have food and clothing, how much food will it cost? There is a shortage of food at this time. Once If the Northern Expedition is delayed, then...Han Jiang may go crazy."

There was a steady spring rain outside the window. Sima Guang stretched out his hand to check, but he couldn't reach the rain and felt that it was all moisture.

"Han Jiang objects." Sima Guang said calmly: "Zeng Gongliang and others also don't agree."

Lu Jie said happily: "That's right." He suddenly lowered his voice, "Supervise the country and supervise the country. You can't do what you shouldn't do. You need to tell him now and let him know the rules..."

Sima Guang was dumbfounded.

"Jianyuan, someone is coming from the palace, and the king has summoned him."

Sima Guang stood up and said, "Young people are always full of energy."

Lu Hui stood up and accompanied him out, smiling and saying: "If you are frizzy, you are frizzy. Junshi, what do you mean by being energetic?"

Later Sima Guang entered the palace.

All the important ministers have arrived.

This means opening the door to discuss things, and it can also avoid suspicion.

Zeng Gongliang looked at Zhao Xu with complicated eyes. He was a little hesitant about this matter. He hoped that Zhao Xu would give up this idea.

It's not just about money and food.

More over……

The official family is fighting in the front, and you are holding back from behind. This is a very bad nature, and it may end up causing the father and son to become suspicious.

Once father and son become suspicious, it will be impossible to return to the original state.

This is the main reason for his opposition.

He glanced at Wang Anshi.

Wang Anshi came out of work and said, "Your Majesty, there has been a lot of rain this spring. I have sent people to check it out. I am afraid that there is a possibility of a flood. I thought we should repair the river embankments and send people on patrol."

Zhao Xu nodded slightly.

He looked very calm, with no excitement or ambition, but no timidity either.

Doesn't he know that this is taboo?

Zeng Gongliang never understood this great king.

After leaving the cabinet, the king began to lie dormant for a long time. He did not say anything when things happened. The limited few times he took action were steady and ruthless, and he did not give others a chance to stab him.

Why does such a prince insist on having his own way?

Why!

He felt a little regretful and couldn't help but reach forward.

His hand failed.

Han Qi is not here, and I don’t even have a place to let go!

He is somewhat depressed.

But more of it is impossible to decide.

Only then did he understand the Prime Minister's difficulties.

decisive!

In many cases, the Prime Minister's statements are taking a risk.

Sima Guang is out of work.

"Your Majesty, with the continuous spring rain, floods are inevitable. However, the embankments of the Yellow River have been repaired many times over the years. Are you in a hurry now?"

This argument is the most popular.

As soon as there is a flood, you say you will burst the embankment, so why did you do the repairs in previous years?

Zhao Xu said: "It is not certain that the embankment will burst, but once the embankment breaks... Hebei Road and the surrounding areas of Bianliang will become Zeguo. So, which one is more important?"

At this moment, if we spend some money, food and manpower to repair the river embankment, compared with the losses after the embankment bursts, who is less and who is more serious?

this……

Sima Guang could not answer.

Because everyone knows the answer.

If the embankment breaks, the losses will be so great that even the cost of the Northern Expedition will be incomparable.

Historically, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty angered Mother Huanghe like crazy, and then Hebei Road became Zeguo. Until the rise of the Jin people and went south, Hebei Road still did not recover, and it can be called a model of self-mutilation.

Liu Zhanban said: "Your Majesty, I don't know whether the Yellow River will burst its banks, but if something goes wrong in the Northern Expedition, the Liao people will move south in large numbers. By then..."

"This Northern Expedition is the first battle in a century, and everything must be avoided."

"As for breaking the embankment, let's wait and see the water situation. It won't be too late to take action when the water situation rises."

"Your Majesty is eagerly awaiting the triumphal return of the soldiers in the north. Don't act rashly in Bianliang!"

All of a sudden, all kinds of opposing voices came out.

Zhao Xu took a look, but fortunately the ministers and ministers did not say anything.

Wen Yanbo hesitated for a moment, then left and said, "Your Majesty, you need to be more cautious about this matter."

His statement was subtle, but his opposition was clear.

Ministers who have no position will not have any good results and will be marginalized.

Wen Yanbo is experienced in this way, so he will naturally not be in harmony with each other.

The sounds gradually disappeared.

Everyone is looking at Zhao Xu.

If the opposition is so loud, forget it.

Zhao Xu said calmly: "How is the Northern Expedition? The news has not yet arrived, but I believe in the soldiers. Some people say that the Northern Expedition should be the most important thing and it is better not to stay still. This is lazy government and mediocre officials!"

boom!

The court immediately exploded.

How about Zhao Xu?

Everyone usually sees him listening to politics, saying nothing, making no sound, not expressing his position, and he can take action a few times.

This is what everyone thinks of Zhao Xu.

But who would have thought that he would throw a gunpowder jar at this moment, causing the court to be stunned.

Am I a mediocre official?

Am I waiting for lazy government?

Sima Guang was dumbfounded.

Lu Hui was slightly angry.

The anger is gradually simmering.

The one above is just a prince. If you criticize him, criticize him. What are you afraid of?

So someone came out and said, "Your Majesty, don't you regard your ministers as your ministers?"

"I read the history books, and it turns out that whenever I am stupid, I will start by humiliating my subordinates!"

This compares Zhao Xu to a candidate for being a faint king.

The firepower is fierce!

Zhao Xu was bombarded. After everyone calmed down, he said calmly: "Where is the responsibility?"

These words hit everyone's seven inches with the stick.

"You are against repairing the river embankments. If the Yellow River bursts its embankments, what will be your responsibility?"

If the Yellow River breaks its banks, the north will become Zeguo.

"When the army returned in triumph, they found that there were floods along the road. When His Majesty was planning the war in Daming Mansion, the floods had already rushed into the city..."

Ahem!

Someone is coughing.

It’s so uncomfortable!

Think about it, Zhao Shu was racking his brains looking at the map in Daming Mansion, and suddenly a report came from outside: Your Majesty, there is a flood!

Damn it!

The officials may be confused.

I am directing the Northern Expedition from the front, but you are waiting to release floods from behind?

Are you trying to drown me or something?

No matter how much opposition you make, you can only shut up at this moment.

Wonderful!

Zeng Gongliang looked at Zhao Xu and felt extremely pleased.

He thought that the king would force them to agree to this matter, which would leave a reputation for violence.

But Zhao Xu's mere role silenced the opponents.

Tsk tsk!

This king is indeed not simple!

Seeing that everyone had stopped, Zhao Xu said: "In this way, the three divisions can prepare money and food, recruit civilian men, and send people to inspect various river embankments. The ones that need to be repaired will be reported immediately. I will send people here to check. If they are correct, then it will be done." Do it!"

He stood up and said: "Spring time waits for no one, floods are ruthless, and we cannot afford to delay, so hurry up and move."

Han Jiang cupped her hands and said, "Yes."

He didn't know whether he was happy or sad.

After going out, someone deliberately asked: "Prime Minister Han, do you still have enough money and food for the Third Division?"

Han Jiang nodded slightly, and then hurried away.

In the palace, Zhao Xu had already begun to take action.

"Let Tang Ren come."

He sat there on his knees, tea steaming on the table in front of him.

Tang Ren came later.

"Does the bank still have ways to raise money?"

Tang Ren did not hesitate at all, "Yes! Since the beginning of the Northern Expedition, the bank has been storing money. For this reason, unnecessary borrowing has stopped. If possible, the bank can provide five million yuan!"

Five million strings!

Zhao Xu's eyes narrowed, "Why are there so many?"

Tang Ren smiled and said: "The first is the bank's reserves, and the second is that we can print more banknotes."

"Didn't Shen An say you can't print more money?" Shen An was very cautious about his attitude towards banknotes and opposed the request for more printing many times.

Tang Ren said confidently: "This time, that time. At this time, printing more is an emergency. If the Northern Expedition is successful, there will be a lot of profits after the sales of those things. In this way, those profits can be used to recycle the extra banknotes."

This is a short-term operation, with the attributes of a central bank as Shen An said.

But all this was based on the victory of the Northern Expedition.

But the strange thing is that neither Zhao Xu nor Tang Ren had any doubt about the victory of the Northern Expedition.

"My son..."

There was a scream outside, and Zhao Xu said helplessly: "Go quickly and wait for my news."

Tang Ren quickly hid aside. After Gao Taotao rushed in, he lowered his head and handed over his hands, and then quietly withdrew.

Before leaving, he glanced at Zhao Xu secretly.

King, take care!

"My son, they said that you have offended all the important officials of the court? Why are you so stupid? Could it be that someone has deceived you? Who is it?"

After Tang Ren heard this, he ran away.

If he doesn't run away, once the Queen considers him to be the culprit, he will never be able to run away again.

Thinking about the two big guys following the queen, Tang Ren felt that they could take care of him with one hand.

"Mom, it's nothing."

Zhao Xu fell into his mother's nagging.

Gao Taotao finally became anxious and said he wanted to go to the DPRK to suppress it.

Zhao Xu was so frightened that he quickly asked her to give up her thoughts.

Zhao Shu is still here!

If Gao Taotao makes a fuss in the court at this time, someone will accuse her of peeking into the emperor's authority.

When the couple becomes suspicious, the fun will be great.

What a headache!

Zhao Xu looked at his excited mother, helpless.

He calculated all the suffering, but missed his mother's worry and anger.

pill!

My pills!

He looked at the sky speechlessly. UU Reading www.uukansｈhu.ｽnet

"...Those ministers will impeach you. When your father comes back, they will sow discord. They will..."

"Ahem!"

The angry Gao Taotao suddenly stopped when he heard the dry cough.

The savior is here!

Zhao Xu was overjoyed, cupped his hands and said, "I have met your empress."

Gao Taotao turned around and Fu Shen said, "I've met your empress."

Queen Mother Cao stood outside the door. She frowned and looked at Gao Taotao, "You are a mother and a queen. When the child is older, the mother can only care about his family affairs. As for state affairs, you don't understand and neither do I, so don't worry about it."

As a queen, you must stand with the prince at this moment, instead of increasing the momentum of those courtiers..."

"yes."

Gao Taotao, who probably couldn't be dealt with even by Zhao Shu, looked particularly well-behaved at the moment.

Empress Dowager Cao walked in and said to Zhao Xu: "If you want to do something, just remember to have a beginning and an end. As for the ministers, they think more about their own pros and cons, and state affairs come second."

"yes."

Zhao Xu was grateful and particularly admired.

When encountering something, the first thing most courtiers think of is not the matter itself, but themselves.

Once you understand this, you can find a way to deal with them.

This is the experience of Queen Mother Cao.

Zhao Xu was grateful.

Queen Mother Cao turned around and said, "Come back with me."

"yes!"

Gao Taotao, who was very excited just now, followed Queen Mother Cao back.

Peace was restored in Qingning Palace.

Outside, Wang Chongnian was shivering.

You can't see me, you can't see me...

It was Empress Dowager Cao who he went to inform. If the empress found out, he felt that he would be torn into pieces by Feiyan and Zhaojun.

Feiyan walked out for a few steps, then suddenly turned around and smiled at him.

Smiling evilly!
