Zhao Kuo Lingxing took these victims to Mafu, but he rushed to Handan again.

Ge waved the long whip and threw out a few beautiful whip flowers, he said with a smile: "If you go to Handan now, you will definitely not see Shangjun...", Zhao Kuo looked at him with some suspicion, Ge said seriously: "The monarchs of Zhao have been diligent and love the people, if as the man said, the river is flooding, then Shangjun must have gone to sacrifice...", Zhao Kuo frowned again.

Indeed, in order to stop the wrath of the river, it is necessary for the king to carry out pious sacrifices, slaughter livestock, beg the gods in charge of the flow of the water such as Hebo to calm the anger and spare the people, of course, the local officials will also automatically bear the responsibility of this sacrifice, Ge recalled for a moment, and waved the whip again, so that the horse quickened the pace, and then said: "More than a hundred years ago, as it is now, the river overflowed, and the Zhangshui flooded, flooding Ye, Pingyang, Ge and other places... At that time, the county order was called Simon Leopard..."

"He found out that the officials here were colluding to choose a young and beautiful woman to be married to Hebo to appease Hebo's anger, do you know how he did it?" , Ge asked with a smile.

Zhao Kuo naturally knew that he had known the story of Ximen Leopard Zhiye for a long time, but he just didn't expect that the place where this incident happened was so close to him, but he still didn't say anything and said, "I don't know." How did he do it? ”

He said that the wives that the officials and witches had chosen for Hebo were not beautiful enough, and threw the great witches into the river and asked them to explain to Hebo themselves. Hahaha~~", Ge laughed loudly, his beard trembled, Zhao Kuo also smiled, Ge shook his head, and said with emotion: "Ximen Leopard is a good official... When Ma Fujun was still there... It was when Xianma Fujun was still alive that he told me this story. ”

"The ancestor was very disgusted with these sacrifices, he visited the king, hoping to follow the example of Ximen Leopard to open the canal, no longer sacrifice, and use the method of Ximen Leopard to reduce floods, but it was not recognized, he had a great prejudice about this matter until he died, thinking that it was useless to sacrifice to Hebo."

Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, and asked a little heavily: "Could it be that now, the monarch is also sacrificing to Hebo?" Will living people still be used for sacrifice? ”

Ge was a little surprised, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "Why do you think that? The king is such a wise person, how can they go to worship Hebo and do what a fool does? ”

"And what do they sacrifice?"

"Sacrifice Simon Leopard..."

"Hahaha~~", Ge laughed again, his beard trembled, he shook his head, and said with some playfulness: "Ximen Leopard, who demolished the Hebo Temple, killed the Great Witch, dug the channel, and created a fertile soil, would never have thought that a hundred years later, he would actually become Hebo and become a new object of sacrifice. Go's black humor did not amuse others.

Zhao Kuo looked at his face, trying to tell if he was lying, Ge seemed to have found something, he said seriously: "That's the thing, if there is no disaster, the local officials will come to sacrifice the Ximen leopard, hoping that the Ximen leopard can protect them from flooding, if there is a disaster, it will be the prime minister himself to sacrifice... Now that the prime minister is outside, it should be for the monarch to go in person. ”

When Zhao Kuo arrived in Handan, he finally saw those scouts riding fast horses, they seemed to be carrying the latest news from all over the world, and quickly rushed to the north of the city. When Zhao Kuo came to the palace, the warriors hurriedly saluted him, and then went to tell King Zhao, obviously, Ge guessed wrong, and the monarch did not go to worship Ximen Leopard.

Soon, Zhao Kuo saw King Zhao, King Zhao looked a little haggard, when he saw Zhao Kuo coming, his eyes flickered, he seemed to be a little embarrassed, and he didn't dare to look at Zhao Kuo, which made Zhao Kuo a little strange, King Zhao invited Zhao Kuo to sit down, sighed again, and asked cautiously: "May I ask you to meet the widow for what?" ”

"I heard that even if it is a small official in the countryside, if he does not have the ability to collect taxes fairly, he will also cause the decline of the country, and now Zhao has set up a medical officer, which is an important official position to treat diseases and save people, and some people still arrange their cronies to hold such an important official position at will, even if he does not have the ability to save people, and the impact of this incident can probably destroy a country, they received the king's salary, but they did not fulfill their duties."

"This will make those who are conscientious and conscientious think that the people come to seek the help of the medical officer because they trust the state, but because of the mediocrity of the medical officer, they will lose their lives, so that they will no longer trust the state, I have heard that it is easy to annex one place, but it is very difficult to unite one. The traitors' behavior is to disperse the originally condensed places, and it is a move to destroy the Zhao Kingdom. ”

"That's the case, what should the widow do?" Hearing Zhao Kuo's words, King Zhao first breathed a sigh of relief before asking.

"Please let the Imperial Physician Lingzu identify these people, and find those who do not know the art of medicine but rely on their close relationship with the noble to serve as a medical officer... Give it to Dong Chengzi to punish them. Zhao Kuo said seriously, King Zhao heard Zhao Kuo talk about Dong Chengzi, and he was a little nervous, he nodded nervously and said, "Just do what you say." ”

"Yu Qing, the fake minister in the country, is a talented person, and the affairs of the medical officer can be entrusted to him."

Zhao Kuo said, paused, and said: "I heard that tens of thousands of people have been displaced by the flooding of the river, how are you going to resettle them?" King Zhao looked at Zhao Kuo's face and said in a low voice: "The widow has arranged for Xu Li to be in charge of this matter and let him go to the sacrifice.. Properly arrange the victims...", he saw Zhao Kuo's brows furrowed, and hurriedly changed his words: "The widow thinks that this is not enough, and is about to send someone to you to discuss this matter." ”

Zhao Kuo nodded, and said: "At the beginning, the Zhangshui flooded, and the water flooded the cultivated land in Yecheng, and Ximen Leopard came to govern Yecheng, and he dug twelve channels in Zhangshui to bring Zhangshui to irrigate the farmland, so that many lands near Zhangshui have become fertile arable land... Since Simon Leopard, no one has dug the channel, if you allow it, I want to dig the channel here in Niushou Shui and Fushui, and then repair the channel that Simon Leopard dug in the first place. Divert the waters of the great river..."

Zhao Kuo said his thoughts seriously, King Zhao just nodded, a little absent-minded, when Zhao Kuo finished speaking, King Zhao said with a smile: "What you said is very reasonable, please take charge of this matter, the widow will let Yu Qing help you." ”

After sending Zhao Kuo away, King Zhao sighed and hurriedly returned to the harem, behind the main hall, that is, where King Zhao lived, a child who was only five or six years old was kneeling on the ground, sobbing in a low voice, beside him, Chang Anjun was constantly coaxing him. King Zhao frowned, looked at them, snorted coldly, passed by them, sat on the couch, and just stared at the two of them.

"Yan... How did the widow teach you on weekdays? How can you...", King Zhao gritted his teeth and looked at Chang Anjun on the side again, his eyes burning with anger.

Chang Anjun was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Brother, why are you angry? It's just a play between children, and nothing serious..."

"Shut up!"

King Zhao scolded, paused again, was silent for a moment, and then found the plank from the side and walked to the young child, the young child was so frightened that he cried, and shouted that he would not dare anymore, and he was about to hide from Chang'anjun, Chang'anjun also hurriedly protected Yuzi, and said loudly: "Brother! It was someone who bullied him first! I've sent someone to apologize, why are you still beating him?! ”

King Zhao raised the plank in his hand, but hesitated for a long time before he dropped the plank hatefully.

"Don't take it as an example!"

.....

Zhao Kuo walked out of the palace, and saw Han Fei, who was already waiting for him, which made him a little surprised, he didn't bring Han Fei with him on this trip, Han Fei led a thin horse, obviously, he came on a horse, he looked at Zhao Kuo, and said seriously: "Teacher...", Zhao Kuo nodded, and then got into the carriage, Ling Ge took him to Yu Qing, sat in the carriage, Han Fei said seriously: "Fortunately, I brought a group of victims..."

"He said that the river was flooding. Flooding, and saying you want to solve this matter, I know a person who works as a water engineer in South Korea, is good at river management, has great political achievements, but is not taken seriously... I can invite him to come and build a channel... It's not an easy thing to build a channel...", Han Fei said seriously, Zhao Kuo glanced at him, he let Xing take the victims back halfway, fortunately it was impossible to return to Mafu so quickly, Han Fei obviously met Xing on the way to Handan...

However, he didn't say much, although Zhao Kuo had the intention to dig channels and change the practice of migrating people in such a disaster year, but if he wanted to design the channel map or something, Zhao Kuo couldn't do it, Han Fei knew such a talent, this is a good thing, South Korea's water conservancy expert?? Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly asked, "The person you are talking about is called Zheng Guo?" ”

Han Fei looked at the teacher cutely and asked, "How do you know?" ”

Of course Zhao Kuo knew that Zheng Guoqu, the ghost monarch of South Korea had used a tired Qin plan, and wanted Qin to put his mind on building a canal and stop thinking about attacking South Korea, so he sent this Zheng Guo to Qin State, and said that the King of Qin would build a channel, well... After Zheng Guo, a water conservancy expert, Qin State has an extremely fertile land, the country of abundance, so the speed of destroying the Six Kingdoms is even faster...

Zhao Kuo didn't know if the Korean king who came up with the tired plan was the current King of Han, if it was really him, Zhao Kuo would not be surprised, if it was his son, then Zhao Kuo could only sympathize with the Koreans, if it was his son, it would really be in the same vein...

Han Fei said seriously: "He and I are both Xinzheng people, but it's a pity that we have empty talents, but we can't be reused... Teacher, actually. True.. True.. Han. There are a lot of them in Korea. Talented.. There are a lot of talented people... How much..", when the topic touches South Korea, Han Fei's stuttering will become a little serious, and Zhao Kuo waited seriously for him to finish speaking.

"But... But.. But they..", Han Fei said, pausing again, his eyes full of sadness.

"Non..."

"Teacher."

"There is Bole first in the world, and then there is Maxima, and Maxima often has, but Bole does not often have.... Even if it has the ability to travel thousands of miles a day, but it can't eat enough, its strength is insufficient, and its talent and good quality can't be expressed... Take the whip and face it and say: There is no maxima in the world! Alas~~ Is there really no Maxima? I guess I really don't know Maxima. Zhao Kuo recited the horse at the beginning, but fortunately, he still remembered the meaning, and it was not very long, and he can still say it.

And Han Fei just looked at the teacher blankly, he suddenly laughed, "Old.. Teacher, I would like to record this... Come down and give it to.. To King Han. ”

"Then King Han is going to be very happy, maybe he will think that he is that thousand miles, but he doesn't have Bole to appreciate him!" , Ge drove the car and said with a smile, his joke finally made everyone laugh. Zhao Kuo remembered the strange expression of King Zhao in the palace, and asked, "Is there something going on in Handan?" ”

Everyone didn't know, they just shook their heads, and Ge sighed with emotion: "Di Ye should be brought... He'll definitely know. ”

Zhao Kuo rushed to Yu Qing's mansion, sure enough, those knights came here, sent out bamboo slips, and quickly left, and found that Zhao Kuo came, Yu Qing's retainers respectfully invited Zhao Kuo into the courtyard, Yu Qing was busy disposing of paperwork in the inner room, Zhao Kuo didn't bother him, just sat and waited for him to finish, Yu Qing was busy for a long time, then he got up and stretched his body, and the retainers told him that Ma Fujun had been waiting for him.

Yu Qing was a little surprised, hurriedly got up, and walked out to meet Zhao Kuo.

Whether it is Tian Dan or Wei Wuji to serve as the minister of state, everything is still pressed on Yu Qing's body, Yu Qing is like a tool man, the two generations of ministers directly threw the things that should have been dealt with to him by themselves, and Yu Qing did not have as many helpers as them, therefore, this Yu Qing is probably the busiest person in the whole Zhao country, from morning to night, he is really "doing his best", looking at his red eyes and pale face, Zhao Kuo was a little scared.

This is also the reason why Zhao Kuo wants to implement a new official position, the power of the minister of state is great, the responsibility is also great, the territory of the original vassal states is not large, there are not many things, let a minister of state be responsible for everything, it can probably be done, but now, this is to kill the prime minister... In order to share the labor of the prime minister, Zhao Guo set up a fake appearance, but Yu Qing's fake appearance was a little miserable... Not everyone can handle everything as well as Fan Ju.

Chun Shenjun of Chu State can't do this, and he is not as good as Fan Ju in terms of handling political affairs.

"Please take care of yourself... You can't work like this..", Zhao Kuo said with some distress.

Yu Qing smiled and said, "This is what I should do." I don't know what Ma Fujun came to visit, and why? ”

"It's a matter of digging channels."

Yu Qing's eyes were dark, and he stumbled a few steps, then stabilized his body, looked at Zhao Kuo a little blankly, was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Okay... Please come into the inner room and let's talk about it. ”

"Forget it, you'd better rest early... I'm going to understand the situation myself, no, you stay and help Yu Xiang deal with government affairs. ”

"Yui."
