The next day, Zhao Xu was in the Vertical Arch Palace, in front of the ministers, and ordered the thirteenth brother Zhao to be the Qincha, hold the gold medal, and inspect the river on his behalf to comfort the soldiers and civilians fighting the disaster.

Zhao Ru received the order with a solemn face, and on the same day, as a messenger, he went out of Beijing on behalf of Zhao Xu, Tong Guan and Liu Heng, and led a large number of forbidden troops to accompany him.

Such an emphasis has only been seen since the founding of the Song Dynasty, and the courtiers also understood Zhao Xu's attitude, and they did not dare to slack off.

Zhao Ru took a million yuan of money and food and various urgently raised materials, and went to see Su Song first, and then walked along the river, all the way east, towards Hebei Road.

The appearance of Zhao seems to have greatly encouraged the military and civilians who have governed the Yellow River. The influx of a large amount of money and grain has also made the government and the people excited.

At the end of July, the rain began to slow down, and the dangerous gaps were basically blocked, but the two roads in Hebei were still dangerous, as the lower reaches of the Yellow River, there was not enough flood discharge capacity, and the pressure was in the estuaries of the two roads.

Xu Jiang, Yang Wei and Zhao Qi rushed over one after another and tried their best to deal with it.

Vertical arch hall.

After discussing with Cai Bian, Lin Xi and others, Zhao Xu decided to continue to strengthen and send more troops and people.

The rainy season is not over yet, and now is perhaps the most dangerous time!

Zhao Xu continued to allocate money from the inner treasury and mobilized money and grain from all over the country, with a total of up to 8 million yuan!

In Kaifeng City, the people were busy draining, and Zhao Xu also went out of the palace and inspected everywhere.

Cai Bian followed beside him, stood on the city wall, looked at the city, and said: "Official, there are hundreds of houses that have been washed away, and some people have drowned, and there may be a shortage of grain, oil, rice and noodles in Kaifeng City. ”

Zhao Xu looked at the Kaifeng City of Zeguo, was silent for a while, then turned his head to look outside the city, and said, "I don't know what happened outside the city?" ”

Cai Bian turned his head and said, "Judging from the reports everywhere, the problem should not be big, and the officials are relieved." Since Renzong, there have been few such large-scale river controls, and the response is timely, and there should be no major floods. ”

"Hopefully."

Zhao Xu was still very uneasy, turned to the city again, and said: "Step up the drainage, I'm afraid the weather will still fall, tell Han Zongdao, use all manpower and material resources to drain the water as soon as possible, and at the same time prepare to deal with the next heavy rain, do a good job of appeasing the people, and don't make trouble." ”

Cai Bian responded, and then stopped talking.

As if he knew what he was going to say, Zhao Xu turned around and continued to walk on the city wall, occasionally seeing corpses floating on the river outside the city.

Zhao Xu looked at it slowly with a calm face.

When he was going down the city wall, Chen Pi rushed over, glanced at Cai Bian, and whispered in Zhao Xu's ear: "Official, some people are very active, and the palace is also taking the opportunity to go in and out. ”

Cai Bian heard it, bowed slightly, and did not speak.

That's what he was going to say. Many people are taking advantage of the current mess, and their actions are a little blatant.

Zhao Xu stopped, shook his hands back and forth, suddenly smiled, and said, "Let them make trouble, don't worry about it in the palace." Let's concentrate on our work. ”

Chen Pi responded, and quietly stood aside with an expressionless face.

Zhao Xu continued to inspect and returned to the palace for more than an hour.

The yellow door in the palace, the palace maid is renovating everywhere, draining water, and cleaning up dirt.

Zhao Xu sat down in the Vertical Arch Hall, and not long after, Shen Qi suddenly came in a hurry and personally delivered a playbook.

Zhao Xu glanced at him with some surprise, and saw that he was not anxious, but solemn, opened the book, swept it away, and immediately frowned, and looked serious.

This is Wen Yanbo's transcript.

Wen Yanbo is extremely not simple, one of which is enough to explain: he was the prime minister forty years ago, and he was only a member of the government the year before last!

This year, I should be nearly 90 years old!

If he hadn't seen this notebook, Zhao Xu would have forgotten about this person.

Zhao Xu examined his notebook, which was full of 'warnings', and made an extremely severe attack on the 'Xining Law', and described all kinds of difficulties inside and outside vividly and vividly, hoping that Zhao Xu would 'have some understanding, some gains', 'self-judgment, and self-awakening'.

Although Wen Yanbo is a minister, he is the prime minister of the Renzong Dynasty, after four dynasties, more than 70 years, he is a tumbler in the political arena, and his protégés are all over the world!

No matter how powerful the Han Fan family is, Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan have passed away for many years, but Wen Yanbo is still alive!

In the political arena, even the seventy-year-old Su Song is a junior of Wen Yanbo, and he has been reminded by him!

No competition of strength can compare to the word 'longevity'.

Zhao Xu looked at it and was silent.

Recently, he has received more and more copies of his 'opposition to the new law,' both in the military and political circles, and there are more than 40 in the third grade or above, and more and more envoys have entered Beijing for economic strategies and festivals, and so on, and the number of copies is accumulating.

Wen Yanbo is the most powerful!

Zhao Xu pondered for a long time, looked at Shen Qi, and said, "This music book is in the middle." ”

"Yes."

Shen Qi raised his hand in response. He knows Wen Yanbo's energy, as soon as Wen Yanbo's recital comes out, there will inevitably be a large number of followers behind, and the pressure on the court and the official family will suddenly increase!

Zhao Xu looked at this notebook again, and his heart groaned.

Although reform is the work of a small number of people, it is necessary to unite the forces that can be united and win the greatest support; it is far from enough to rely on the forcible promotion of a small number of people, and we must constantly build and expand consensus.

However, the current reform not only involves party disputes that have lasted for many years, but also academic disputes.

Academic differences, unable to distinguish right from wrong, and the two sides will not give an inch, which is the most difficult to deal with!

Zhao Xu pondered for a long time, his eyes were cold, and he said to himself: "Change more thoughts and less people, and change people again if you don't change your thoughts!" ”

Chen Pi listened from the sidelines, his expression tense, and he felt a murderous aura.

Without waiting for him to react, Zhao Xu suddenly said, "Have you seen Cai You?" ”

Chen Pi hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes." It has already been explained. ”

"Come here." Zhao Xu took out a piece of paper from the drawer.

Chen Pi hurriedly came over respectfully and stretched out his head.

Zhao Xu squinted his eyes and whispered in his ear for a long time, and finally handed over a piece of paper and said, "Give him the list and keep an eye on it." ”

The corners of Chen Pi's face were straight, his heart was worried, and he was cold, and when Zhao Xu's voice fell, he hurriedly took the list and said, "The villain obeys the order!" ”

Zhao Xu waved his hand expressionlessly, put Wen Yanbo's notebook in the drawer, and continued to read it.

Soon after, Cai You was called to his room by Chen Pi.

The room of tangerine peel is not big, one in and one out, one bedroom, one living room.

Chen Pi sat on the stool with an indifferent expression.

Cai You knelt on the ground, trembling.

Chen Pi waited for a while before he said: "Embezzling some officials' money, killing a few people under the guise of public help, and retaliating against some people is not a big deal." ”

Cai You's head was dripping with cold sweat, and he couldn't stop shaking.

What Chen Pi just said was all his secret matter, and only his two henchmen knew!

These things were enough to make him die without a place to be buried!

Chen Pi said that it was nothing, Cai You didn't dare to take it seriously, his head hit the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Father-in-law, the villain is guilty, and I ask my father-in-law to forgive him!" ”

Chen Pi glanced at him and said lukewarmly: "Get up, if the official family wants to cure your crimes, you will die eight hundred times a long time ago." ”

Cai You trembled in his heart, his whole body was cold, and he got up slowly, his face pale.

Seeing his appearance, Chen Pi said directly: "Listen to what I say below." ”

Cai You hurriedly bowed down, his face full of nervousness and solemnity.

Chen Pi doesn't like Cai You, this person is too shameless, even his father can betray him, what else can't he do?

Chen Pi said indifferently: "Continue to expand the Imperial City Division, in addition to manpower, yamen, and prisons should also be expanded." In addition, Xijing and Nanjing will build branch divisions, which will be controlled by you, and you will be recruited by you. ”

Cai You looked slightly startled and looked up at Chen Pi. Don't dispose of him, give him more power?

Chen Pi met his gaze, his eyes were cold, and said: "Without the permission of the official family, if you dare to mess around again, I will bring you into the palace and watch by your side!" ”

Cai You felt that the crotch of his pants was cold, and he knelt on the ground with a puff, and said urgently: "The villain obeys the order!" ”

Chen Pi snorted coldly and said, "Take this list and get out!" ”

Cai You hurriedly stepped forward to take the list on the table, climbed with a roll, and ran out in a hurry.

Chen Pi didn't like him, and when he left, he took a sip of tea and said, "Did you hear everything?" ”

Nan Tianyou came out from behind the curtain, looked very respectful, bowed and said, "The villain heard." ”

Chen Pi glanced at him, his expression softened a little, and said, "You are quite sensible." I've asked someone to find a new place for you, and your people will be separated from the Imperial City Division from today onwards, and they will go their own way, understand? ”

Nan Tianyou quietly joined his legs and said, "The villain understands. ”

Chen Pi thought about Zhao Xu's explanation, and said: "You guys keep a low profile for the time being, in the important towns of Xia Liao, Kyoto to find a way to set up a branch, you must be secretive, install spies, buy their civil ministers and military generals, and collect useful information......"

Nantian Youzai listened carefully, with a solemn face.

Chen Pi talked for a long time, and suddenly said: "The official decree: Your establishment will not be given for the time being, keep a low profile, and all expenses will be paid from the inner treasury, and you will not be subject to any yamen control, and you will act according to orders." ”

Nan Tianyou's expression was shocked, he knelt on one knee violently, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Nan Tianyou obeys the order!" ”

Chen Pi looked at him and nodded secretly, at least much more pleasing to the eye than Cai You.

……

A few days later, there was no more rain in Kaifeng City, the stagnant water almost subsided, the middle reaches of the Yellow River were controlled, and the government and the opposition were relieved.

Su Song, Zhang Dian set off to return to Beijing one after another, and General Xu, Yang Wei and others were still in command on the front line.

It's not yet August, the rainy season hasn't passed, it's not relaxing, and there's a lot to deal with in the aftermath.

Su Song, Zhang Dian has not returned to Kaifeng, and Yushitai has received an extremely difficult case.

This case is very special, not only makes Yushitai tricky, but also the Dali Temple of the Three Law Divisions, and the Criminal Department don't know what to do.

There are many special features of this case, first, this case is an ordinary people's girl's 'wounding case', it is not triggered by the current party struggle, but it is related to the party dispute.

Second, this is an old case, which happened in the first year of Xining of the Shenzong Dynasty, nearly twenty-five years from now!

Third, this case involves Wang Anshi, Sima Guang and almost all the big names since the Shenzong Dynasty!

In addition, including Emperor Shenzong!

This case is extremely complicated, repeated, ups and downs, from an ordinary case, but it was involved in party disputes, and the 'old and new' parties argued with each other for more than ten years!

It is the famous Dengzhou Ayun case.
