Chapter 195: The Guillotine is about to be born

A large group of people returned to Zhuangzi after visiting the heavens and the earth with satisfaction, sitting in the carriage on the way back, Mei Yaochen couldn't help but sigh to Shao Yong beside him: "I only now understand why people have to work hard to earn money, love and enjoyment are the same as human inertia, at home we also wash our feet every night, why is it not as comfortable as just now." ”

"A life of abundance and greed for pleasure can ruin a person's self-motivation, and there is a sense of freshness when I come to this place once in a while, and the number of times I come is the same, what's the point, I still like to soak in my own at home."

Su Shunqin said: "Then you are wrong, we only soaked Chinese medicine upstairs just now, I see that there is milk on the menu, salt bath, rose bath, I am not like Yaofu you, my salary is paid, I have to go through the styles on their menu one by one." ”

Shao Yong said: "You are not afraid that your sister-in-law will not let you go to bed at night when your sister-in-law comes." ”

"On the contrary, the Su family is also a scholarly family, and the women's virtues of the Su family are praised by everyone, and the stick is ready at any time?"

Mei Yaochen said: "Then what happened to the scratches on your face last time I saw you, don't say that you were careless." ”

"It's not good if you're familiar, the old bottom is all exposed, Yaofu, you see that my woman is also young, and she is a good match for Hanzhang, and the dowry of the Su family is also notoriously rich, let's do this kiss!"

Shao Yong said: "How old is your daughter, I remember that your son is a little younger than Hanzhang." ”

Mei Yaochen laughed and almost smashed the carriage, pointed at Su Shunqin and said, "Did I say you are crazy?" If you like Hanzhang, it's not like this, your daughter is only six or seven years old this year! Besides, do people have a dowry for you? ”

Shao Yong explained: "Hanzhang's family affairs should have been decided by his parents, but he is an assertive child, before leaving this time, our master and apprentice also talked openly, if there is no accident, he will marry the girl of Cai Yushi's family, he said to me a sentence I remember vividly, he said that he is a passerby, and women will not have good results if they are contaminated with him." ”

Mei Yaochen said: "Hanzhang, this kid has a complicated mind, and in the short time I have been in contact with him, I have not guessed his mind once. ”

Shao Yong said: "I can't see through it, but I know that he is a good boy." ”

"Sheng Yu is still thinking about his dream of being an official, I don't want to, I decided to stay in Zhuangzi and live a comfortable life, ten years of Huan Hai has made me lose too many things, now I feel that I am much younger when I stay with the children, it's okay to do some interesting research with them, and train them to be the same as being an official, and even have a greater sense of accomplishment in my heart, Yaofu welcome?"

"Welcome, Zimei, you can see clearly, Sheng Yu is an official fan, I won't persuade him, he will be envious in the future."

Zhao Xin's birth made Zhao Zhen walk energetically, and solved the important matter of the heir to the throne, but the country's troubles still have to be worried about by Zhao Zhen.

"Yan Xiang tell a few adults about the specific situation!"

Yan Shu said: "Now the situation is a bit out of control, the large-scale drought has made the price of grain in Lianghuai grow to as much as five times as much as in the past, and the people have money to buy food. ”

Jia Changchao said: "What should I do now about the winter when I release grain? It's not the hardest time yet, can't you think of a way to do it yourself? ”

Yan Shu said: "The local grain is in the hands of big households and businessmen, they pinch the grain and wait for the price to continue to rise. ”

Ouyang Xiu said, "Can you take some grain out of the merchant's hands?" ”

Zhang Fangping said: "There is no extra money in the treasury, there are many things in the northwest and Chengdu Mansion today, which are beyond our deadline, and there is no money to buy food!" ”

Yan Shu said: "Then everyone means that the grain in the usual warehouse cannot be released. ”

Zhao Zhen said in a voice that everyone didn't understand: "Someone told me that the grain in Yangzhou's usual warehouse was stolen and replaced?" ”

Zhang Fangping said: "Every year, officials from the capital go down to check whether there is any basis for the emperor's words. ”

Zhao Zhen said: "The accuracy of the source of the news is very high, if there is no food in the usual warehouse, how can we deal with the situation that makes it worse, the matter is considered to the worst first, and the response is better later." ”

Yan Shu said: "What we see are the chapters, just like the blind man touching the elephant, I suggest sending a major minister to Lianghuai to preside over the disaster relief work, his performance is more credible than the local one, if as the emperor said, the grain on Jinghu North Road will be transported to Lianghuai, and the grain will be supported to other places, the north is a bottomless pit every year, otherwise the Great Song Dynasty will not lack food." ”

"Don't have any ideas in the north, the Liao State and the Western Xia are eyeing each other, and then let the soldiers bomb the camp, it will not be as simple as making matters worse, Yan Xiang said to send people to Lianghuai, you recommend who is appropriate."

Ouyang Xiu said: "I recommend Kaifeng Mansion Yin Bao Zheng to go, he is upright, loves the people like a son, and is the kind of person who can't rub sand in his eyes. ”

Zhao Zhen also liked it in his heart, but he had to wait for Zai Fu to express his opinion before making a decision, a superior person could not easily reveal his intentions, and it was too obvious that he would be led by the nose by the people below.

The old-school people don't want to fight with the reformers on the matter of disaster relief, and since you are willing to do the thankless thing, do it!

Yan Shu looked at everyone's faces, and knew what they thought, and he said to Zhao Zhen: "Uncle Yong recommended Bao Zheng to go, everyone has no opinion, but agrees, then let Bao Zheng go!" The affairs of Kaifeng Mansion are temporarily maintained by Shaoyin. ”

Zhao Zhen said with a decisive word: "Yin Baozheng of Kaifeng Mansion is the pacification envoy of the Lianghuai Road and the minister of the Qin Mission, and he will go to the Lianghuai Road for disaster relief, and he will give Shang Fang the sword, and he has the right to act cheaply. ”

Bao Zheng was still stunned when he received the holy decree, and the emperor didn't say anything in the early dynasty! The emperor's order is hard to disobey, and if you can't resist, then enjoy it!

Lu Zifei left a hundred soldiers to guard the treasure, waiting for the Fujian Road Transfer Yamen to send someone to send the money back to the capital, he went straight to Mayi with his fleet like a bandit leader, there is a person who whispers in your ear all the time, and you can't stand it.

Song Qi, who was in the shape of an old ruffian, drank iced juice and asked Lu Zifei: "You said that if we send back a large amount of food to the Great Song Dynasty, what will the emperor's reaction be, can I sit in the position of Zaifu." ”

Lu Zifei, who has the same shape, is holding a fishing rod in his hand, Teng Bo is responsible for loading the bait, and when the bait runs out, a fish is not caught, Teng Bo feels sorry for this bucket of bait, which he has worked hard to dig out.

"I don't know how the emperor will seal you, but I don't have a big problem if I want to make me a marquis!"

"What you think is really beautiful, your credit is really possible, the emperor is really good to your kid, I haven't seen it before!"

Lu Zifei said: "This is a good character, don't you understand that you have been an official for so long?" The crown prince is not the master of this empire, the emperor is, the starting point of everything I do is for the country and the emperor, who does he trust if he doesn't trust me? ”

Song Qi said: "Do you think they don't know, the untimely death of the two princes gave those speculators a chance by being a little slack, and over time the party was formed, and everyone's interests were involved, if you don't do it, then you don't want to be an official, power is addictive, you go and ask those losers, who is willing." ”

Lu Zifei said: "That's because your vision is too small, you don't have to be an official to achieve your ideals and goals, a brilliant life needs to go through all kinds of hardships and successes, officials are in charge, when you find that many professions can dominate officials, you don't have so much enthusiasm for being an official." ”

"Don't talk about it, what do you think of the emperor's desire to reform."

"It's more difficult! Lu Xiang's withdrawal from the stage of the Great Song Dynasty was just that they lacked a strong front desk, and the preferential treatment of a hundred years gave them a strong capital to confront the reformers, and the Song people did not find that the reform party was a group of ideal gentlemen. ”

Song Qi said: "Isn't it very good, they are all young and strong, serious Jinshi background, loyal to the people and the emperor, there is no reason not to succeed!" ”

Lu Zifei said: "What the adults said is right, but they lack the ability to operate the court and miscalculate the opponent, Fan Gong is the most popular candidate for Zaifu, but have you ever thought that the emperor will let him sit in that position?" Neither the reformers nor the old-fashioned people can sit still, and the emperor is not allowed to do so from a balanced perspective. ”

"Xiwen is full of blood! The emperor has great expectations for him. ”

"My lord, don't forget why Fan Gong was demoted for the second time that year, the friends have always been a thorn in the emperor's heart."
