Chapter 21: Friends

This rain in Kaifeng Mansion is two days at a time.

Kaifeng Mansion is muddy everywhere, and it is difficult to travel.

And Zhao Guangyi, who is the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, is becoming more and more nervous.

Today, the water level of the Yellow River is higher than that of Kaifeng Province, and it is all protected by river embankments.

Waterlogging is not terrible, but I am afraid that the river embankment will collapse and affect Kaifeng Mansion.

The water of the Bianhe River has been reversed, in the Baojing Lake (Baogong Lake in later generations) in the south of Kaifeng Prefecture, the lake water is now one meter higher than in the past, and even the stone lion at the entrance of the Kaifeng Mansion is now soaked in the water.

If the water level rises by another half a meter, the government will be flooded.

Now the government has organized the people to fight the flood, but it is also a headache and a pain in the feet.

In the Imperial Garden on the west side of Yanfu Palace, there are also many places that are flooded by the water of the Bianhe River, but there is no one living here, so the impact is not great.

However, because the newly built Qin State Mansion is located on the Bianhe River, half of it is now soaked in water.

Meng Chang and his dependents can only live in the main hall more than a meter above the ground.

After receiving the news, Zhao Kuangyin immediately sent a team of forbidden troops to help the Qin State Mansion fight the flood.

Even so, thinking of the glory of the past, and then thinking of the current parasitic fence, Meng Chang couldn't help crying bitterly.

Zhao Kuangyin was furious when he heard this, and Meng Kuan, the inner attendant, came to the door and asked, "Does my Great Song Dynasty treat you preferentially?" Do you still miss your homeland? ”

This time, Meng Chang was frightened, and he didn't dare to cry anymore.

However, this shock made him fall ill as well.

Zhao Dezhao is not yet an adult, these things have nothing to do with him, and his energy is mainly focused on practicing martial arts and sorting out materials.

Martial arts training is a must, he doesn't need 10,000 enemies, at least he is stronger than Zhao Guangyi.

In case of emergency, there is the ability to protect oneself.

Now that he has the Qi practice method sorted out in the Ming Dynasty, he has cultivated both inside and outside, and he is absolutely sure that he will catch up with Zhao Guangyi within two years.

Even if Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi are allowed to practice this method, they are not as good as Zhao Dezhao. Because he has been practicing for three lifetimes, he has formed an instinct like eating and drinking.

And they still need to explore little by little.

Liu Xiao settled down at the farm to recuperate, and in the face of the people sent by Zhao Guangyi to woo him, he didn't stick it as soon as he hooked up.

This is not in line with their plan, but it is necessary to ferment again, and then "reluctantly" get on Zhao Guangyi's ship, so as not to arouse suspicion.

I practiced martial arts twice a day, morning and evening, and spent the rest of my time busy in the study.

And on the side of the Duke of Qin, Zhao Dezhao has also been paying close attention.

There was flooding, the forbidden army assisted in preventing flooding, Meng Chang cried and was reprimanded, and then fell ill, all of which were seen by Zhao Dezhao.

He doesn't have a capable subordinate now, so he can only let Tong Liang arrange two reliable people to keep an eye on the Qin State Mansion, and he can't make the layout first.

The heavy rain kept falling, and whether it was the officials of Kaifeng Mansion or the generals of the forbidden army, they were all busy draining the water and providing disaster relief.

On the tenth day of June, Zhao Dezhao still did not get any useful information, and in this era, he was like a deaf person.

If nothing else, Meng Chang will definitely die tomorrow if he doesn't die today.

What's going on? He had no idea who was primarily responsible for this incident.

When he woke up in the morning, he said to Pei Ge'an: "You stay in your courtyard today and don't come out, I am going to invite some friends of the original owner to gather." ”

"Is it necessary?"

Talking about serious things in her mouth, Pei Ge'an, who was only nine years old, has become a little goblin, she knows that Zhao Dezhao feels sorry for her, and now she doesn't dare to touch her, but she likes to tease Zhao Dezhao.

Seeing Zhao Dezhao being teased by her, he was amused by her, and he was amused to death.

It's a pity that she is too young, and the nutrition of her previous life is not good, except that her face is quite beautiful, and now she is still a reed stick.

Zhao Dezhao can't do it even if he is sexual!

"Don't move." Zhao Dezhao pressed her hand. "There will be a major historical event in these two days, and I must prepare for a rainy day."

Pei Ge'an asked with some surprise: "I remember that you were also a scumbag in the past, why did you remember the historical events of a thousand years ago so clearly?" ”

"Because this involves a peerless beauty......"

Zhao Dezhao didn't tell her that he had already experienced the idea of the Ming Dynasty, which would only cause a gap between the two.

Of course, the modern Zhao Dezhao will not remember this incident, but he has lived in the Ming Dynasty for more than 100 years and has controlled the world for nearly 100 years, and his understanding of history has long been different.

I told Pei Ge'an about the deeds of Madame Blossom, and she was curious about how beautiful this peerless beauty was.

However, she knew very well that at this time, she did not have the opportunity to meet Madame Blossom.

"Since it involves the grievances between the emperor and the prince, we must intervene in this matter."

"So I'm going to invite my friends to a party, and after drinking some wine, I'll invite them to go to the Qin State Mansion to join in the fun."

Pei Ge'an nodded in Zhao Dezhao's arms. "Even if it wasn't the prince's doing, since he is our enemy, we must splash dirty water on him. It's just that you're going to be under more pressure. ”

Zhao Dezhao laughed. "I'm not afraid, I'll just think life is too dull."

This is mainly because Zhao Kuangyin is not dead, giving Zhao Guangyi a guts, and he does not dare to attack himself.

And now that the world has not yet been appeased, he has not yet had the courage to seize power.

The two discussed, and Pei Ge'an pushed Zhao Dezhao away. "I'm still growing up, continue to sleep, you go to morning exercise. I don't go out of the backyard today, so I accompany my fourth sister to study the formula of soap. ”

After the morning exercise, Zhao Dezhao asked Tong Liang to hand over a post to a group of brothers, inviting them to come to the East Palace to play and drink.

During Zhao Kuangyin's tenure as General Zhou, he traveled extensively, his personality was good, and he made many sincere friends.

It is also for this reason that he will be put on the throne of the emperor.

Even when he became the emperor and began to take power, he had a good relationship with the generals.

However, the so-called release of military power with a glass of wine is also a failure in Chinese history, and it is not worth showing off at all.

Because the price of power is tolerance of corruption and privilege......

In the Later Zhou Dynasty, it cannot be said that the officials ruled the Qingming Dynasty, but under the command of Chai Rong, the civil and military performed their duties and restrained each other.

Zhao Kuangyin's seizure of power was to promote a series of low-level generals, and then let the generals with real power give up their positions in the forbidden army and be sealed to the local government as envoys.

The elite soldiers of the Song Dynasty were only the forbidden army, and the other local armies were similar to the militia.

And these generals, when they go to the locality, they are all harmful, but Zhao Kuangyin doesn't care.

It's not that all the generals are bad guys, but they all resort to this tactic to avoid suspicion.

Taking Wang Quanbin and Liu Tingrang, who are now attacking Houshu, as an example, Liu Tingrang is one of the ten brothers of Zhao Kuangyin's righteous society, serving as deputy general, and Wang Quanbin serving as the main general.

It only took them more than two months to force Meng Chang to surrender and take the entire Houshu.

Now that the merit is high, what should I do?

The two of them began to kill people wantonly in Houshu, plundering the army, and they were also very greedy.

Therefore, it triggered various rebellions in Houshu, and in the following four years, Houshu has not been pacified.

In the era of imperial power, the emperor could tolerate all kinds of corruption, but not threats.

Zhao Kuangyin's position is not right, he bullied orphans and widows, and what he is most afraid of is that the prestige of the generals is high, which threatens his position.

As for embezzlement, bribery, murder, brutality, it was nothing to the emperor.

What's more, Zhao Kuangyin didn't regard himself as an emperor at all, but only as a warlord.

This also caused the generals in the early Song Dynasty to use this way to discredit themselves and make the atmosphere in the army miserable.

In the era of Zhao Guangyi, he cleaned up all these generals in one go.

It is a good thing to purge the rule of officials, but the use of literati to manage military generals has caused the decline of China for hundreds of years.

Zhao Kuangyin did not regard himself as an emperor, and had a good relationship with the generals, and Zhao Dezhao got along very well with the sons and nephews of his brothers.

The East Palace is a big place, and no one cares about it, and these second ancestors like to use the East Palace as a stronghold.

This time, it was because Zhao Dezhao was grounded and there was a non-stop rainstorm later, so there was no party for a few days.

Tong Liang arranged for a few eunuchs to send posts, and when they arrived, Shi Baoxing arrived first with Shi Baoji.

Shi Baoxing is Shi Shouxin's son, twenty years old, already married, but he still likes fighting, that is, fighting.

He is the only one in this group of friends who can have an advantage in fighting with Zhao Dezhao, but he also relies on his age and body has grown.

In two more years, he won't be able to bully Zhao Dezhao.

Shi Baoji is only eleven years old this year, and he is a handsome angry little Zhengtai, who admires Zhao Dezhao's force the most.

If Zhao Dezhao remembers correctly, he married the fifth sister later and became his brother-in-law.

"Rixin, quickly bring up the 'Chongbi Wine' and 'Jian Nanchun' that Hou Shu worshiped this time, I was reprimanded by my mother and cut off my wine, and I have been hungry to death these days."

Chongbi wine is the name of Wuliangye in this era, and Jiannanchun has become a famous wine in the Tang Dynasty.

The Central Plains was in constant turmoil, there was not enough food, and various warlords banned brewing.

However, the land of abundance does not have this restriction, and it makes a lot of money by selling wine every year.

"It's already ready, come in."

Shi Baoxing asked for wine as soon as he came, but Shi Baoji still had some childish habits and looked around. "Second brother, Kaifeng Mansion is rumored, you built a playground for the fourth brother, what is a playground?"

Zhao Dezhao entertained friends in the side hall of the main hall, which is a big place, and one or two hundred people can be accommodated.

Zhao Dezhao smiled and pointed to the side hall on the west side. "Go over and see for yourself, the fifth sister and the fourth brother are all here."

Shi Baoji went in a hurry, Zhao Dezhao accompanied Shi Baoxing and did not sit down, Wang Chengyan and Wei Xianxin also arrived.

Wei Xianxin is the son of Wei Renpu, who was the prime minister during the Chai Rong period and can be regarded as a famous minister of the previous generation.

He was also one of the few sons of Wenchen in this group, and often regarded himself as a military advisor.

The others have not yet arrived, but Zhao Dezhao's three future brothers-in-law have all arrived.

The fourth sister likes Wang Chengyan, and Zhao Kuangyin forced Wang Chengyan to divorce and marry the fourth sister.

The fifth sister later married Shi Baoji, and the sixth sister, who is now less than three years old, later married Wei Xianxin, who is sixteen years apart.
