Chapter 193: The Storm in the Middle Kingdom

The days were so watery, and the water was watery for months.

Sun Yue, who has nothing to do at home, is addicted to the strategy of the twelve golden flowers and can't extricate himself, and the fun is called a fun, although no one has succeeded in the strategy for several months, but he is not in a hurry at all, anyway, he can't use it even if the strategy is down for the time being.

Maybe Sun Yue should be glad that he lost the Privy Council, otherwise he would probably be crazy again at this time.

Because in the court, a huge storm hit without warning, sweeping almost everyone.

Zhao Guangyi was filled with indignation, and impassionedly pointed at Zhao Pu's nose and scolded: "I mobilized eleven prefects, forty-six county orders, and three divisions and six departments to make a disaster relief plan that lasted more than half a month, why did you give it a no, more than 100,000 hungry people in Huainan are waiting to be fed, and they can't eat, you are still here to kick the ball with me again and again?" Surnamed Zhao, has your conscience been eaten by dogs? Do you still deserve the official uniform you wear? ”

Zhao Pu smiled indifferently: "Second King, your plan has cost too much money, don't you really know how much money the court has saved in the past two years?" For example, this Jiangling military rations, which are prepared for the destruction of Shu, if they are donated to the people of Huainan according to what you said, then this Shu will not be cut down? Meng Chang's wolf ambition is also known to Huangkou Xiaoer, what if he calls? Do you want the soldiers to go to war hungry? Shen Xianggong, you are in charge of our Great Song Dynasty's money bags, you say, can the court afford to provide disaster relief like the two kings? ”

Shen Yilun smiled bitterly and said, "This ...... Ha, the situation of the household department is indeed more tense now, compared to this year, just used troops in Hu-Nan and Jingnan, not only did they have no income, but they also reduced their tea tax, plus the soldiers were rewarded, and Tubo made trouble, etc., it is indeed a bit of a stretch to make ends meet, but it's also reasonable for the two kings to say, Huainan has 100,000 hungry people now, if the court doesn't do anything, they will be hungry, in the past two years, Huainan has fought a little more, every household has no surplus food, and the people are not attached, If they can't see the court's benevolence to them, I'm afraid they ...... It's not good, if something goes wrong, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

Zhao Guangyi said angrily: "Isn't this a fart, then you say, whether this money is spent or not." ”

"Second king, I am in charge of money, as for how to spend the money, I have my own officials to decide."

Zhao Guangyi was anxious, glared at this guy viciously, and didn't care about any courtesy, so he said directly: "Brother! The disaster is in a hurry, and we can't delay it any longer! ”

Zhao Pu also said: "Official, the military situation is more urgent than the disaster." ”

Zhao Guangyi: "Then you say, Huainan's disaster path will not be saved?" ”

Zhao Pudao "save, it must be saved, the question is how to save, you set, no, the official, the minister here also has a set of disaster relief plans, please look at the official, the minister thinks, Huainan famine, it is a good time to recruit troops here, as long as the selection of its strong army, the disaster will naturally be alleviated, it is trouble, and there is not much trouble, in addition to the food for disaster relief, the minister thinks that he can borrow from the Southern Tang Dynasty, and when the disaster passes in the future, the people of Huainan will repay, if the Southern Tang Dynasty does not borrow, it is just right to use these newly recruited soldiers to teach them a lesson. ”

Zhao Kuangyin opened Zhao Pu's fold, smiled bitterly, and asked the eunuch to hand it to Zhao Guangyi again: "Second brother, you can also take a look."

Zhao Guangyi took the fold, his face as black as the bottom of the pot.

This time, he lost again, it is obvious that the current national politics, almost nothing can be separated from the military and politics, so how Zhao Pu plays can be counted as his share, and objectively speaking, Zhao Pu's disaster relief plan does seem to be slightly better than him, because he also knows that the treasury has no money.

But Zhao Pu had a plan early in the morning, and even their Privy Council has been making plans in this regard, but they don't even give themselves a hint of the wind, which is obviously intentional!

Zhao Kuangyin rubbed his temples and said helplessly: "Old Shen, you can also take a look, if there are any mistakes." ”

Shen Yilun took the fold, but he didn't rush to see it, but first glanced at Zhao Guangyi, and when he saw that he looked admitted, he breathed a sigh of relief, and almost read it at a glance, and then said: "The minister thinks that Zhao Shumi's words are the words of a certain country, so the pressure on the treasury is greatly reduced, and the minister can also save some worry." ”

"Well, that's good, then let's do it, I'm tired, retreat."

The civil and military officials came out one after another, and today's Sanchao was much quieter than before, and no one went to mutter, but they all walked quickly.

On the contrary, Zhao Pu walked to Zhao Guangyi's side with a smile and said: "The second king has worked hard, and I also know that the second king has been working hard for several days for this disaster relief, why don't I have a treat, in Fengle Building, let's have a drink?" ”

Shen Yilun immediately came over and said: "It's extreme, Fengle Lou's latest has come up with a lychee-flavored beer, it is said that the response is good, it is rare for Zhao Shumi to have a treat, the second king, let's try it?" ”

Zhao Guangyi snorted coldly: "This official is busy with things, and he is not as idle as you." ”

As he spoke, Zhao Guangyi flicked his sleeves and left without looking back, leaving only Shen Yilun with a wry smile on his face and Zhao Pu with an indifferent face. "Shen Xianggong, since the second king is inconvenient, why don't we go and have a drink, and talk about this disaster relief by the way."

"This ...... All right. ”

All of this was naturally seen by Zhao Kuangyin, and he could only sigh helplessly in his heart.

His younger brother, like Zhao Pubi, is still too tender after all.

In fact, Zhao Kuangyin has long been prepared for all this today, he is not a child, how can there be a court without disputes in this world, the era of Zhao Pu's family dominance must also pass, which itself is also his needs, but unfortunately, his younger brother's level is a little poor, even if he pulls the bias, he can't fix others.

This is also something that can't be helped, Zhao Guangyi is actually very good, after all, before the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, he was just a gentleman, what he has done all these years has always been in his eyes, and he has really worked hard, but unfortunately, he is facing the scheming Zhao Pu, and if he wants to wrestle with him, I am afraid that this younger brother will have to sharpen for a few years.

At this time, the Great Song Dynasty was still very different from the later ones, the political hall was almost an empty shell now, Fan, Wang, and Wei were also sensible, and they said everything inconsequentially, but as long as it involved people, soldiers, and money, they didn't let go of a fart, so almost ninety percent of the power was in the hands of the Privy Council.

And Zhao Guangyi has a good relationship with the pure civil officials in the court because of his special status, and the most important thing is that he also has the false title of Zhongshu Ling, so the pure civil official group is basically clustered under his wings, although his power is still very weak compared to Zhao Pu, but Zhao Kuangyin can pull the shelf.

It's a pity that the gap between the two is still a bit big, Zhao Pu is too scheming, and Zhao Kuangyin sometimes doesn't know where to pull up if he wants to pull the shelf, and Shen Yilun is a good old man who can't be offended, so in the court situation, now it's actually Zhao Pu's family that is dominant, and Zhao Guangyi's Zhongshu order doesn't seem to be of any use, but the civil and military officials feel a headache in the face of these two bigwigs who are fighting more and more frequently.

What Sun Yue was most afraid of still happened.
