Before going out in the morning, Yu'er ran to Li Buqi and asked everyone else to retreat, before asking, "Teacher, is it really because my father doesn't want Yu'er?" ”

Li Buqi smiled and said, "Don't listen to those fools. That is, there is more sediment washed down from the upstream, and it is piled up in the flat downstream, and after a long time, the diversion of the breach is certain. I'm waiting for the gentleman from the academy to tell you about it. ”

Yu'er was obviously still skeptical, but he didn't continue to ask because of the regular training all the time, and he drooped his head and went to school with Niu Man.

In the palace, Li Buqi deliberately lowered his eyelids and was embarrassed by Zhao Zhen's obviously embarrassed expression, but the emperor still held back for a long time before asking a question: "Don't give up, now the people in the capital say that the diversion of the Yellow River is a warning to me to let the rest of the palace out." Wen Qing and Pang Qing said that the diversion of the Yellow River was caused by the cutting of too many trees upstream and the siltation of sediment downstream, not a warning from heaven. What do you think about this? ”

Depend on! Steal my lines? Li Buqi thought about it when he arranged the rumors, and the emperor would inevitably ask himself about this matter, and when the time came, he insisted that the diversion of the Yellow River was inevitable, and the emperor would definitely think that although he Li Buqi suffered a loss, he still sought truth from facts and was a reliable courtier. Unexpectedly, Wen Yanbo and Pang Ji robbed him of the lines he had prepared, which made Li Buqi very annoyed.

Haven't you always said that the research results of Qingyuan Academy are nonsense? How can you use the theory of Qingyuan Academy as a shield so confidently?

Haven't you always been inductive? Why isn't it induction this time? Don't you feel pain in your face?

Li Buqi was very unhappy in his heart, so he decided to give Wen Yanbo and them some eye medicine: "Your Majesty knows that since Qingyuan Academy discovered this truth, Houchen has always insisted on it, but there are not many people in the court." The minister thought that this time it was also a siltation of sediment, which was piled up on the flat riverbed downstream, and the river would be diverted one day, which was a natural phenomenon. As for the diversion at this time, it is nothing more than a coincidence. ”

People always experience the meaning of other people's words according to their own psychological tendencies, so it is often the case that a person praises others but others understand them as sarcasm. Zhao Zhen, as a child who has been taught "heaven and man induction" since he was a child, has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and there is naturally a certain tendency when discussing this issue. Although Li Buqi said it in a straight and categorical manner, Zhao Zhen heard something else.

That's right, didn't Wen Yanbo and them not be interested in the theories of Qingyuan Academy before? Why did you suddenly change your mind this time? It's weird!

And yes. Li Buqi definitely didn't tell a lie, the diversion of the river is indeed a natural phenomenon, but why did he choose this time? Why was it just a few days after the leftover child was out of the palace? So many ministers are admonishing themselves to review whether there is any immorality, are they all wrong?

Li Buqi's answer did not alleviate the emperor's doubts in the slightest. He pondered for a long time before saying, "Don't give up, I think it's better to take the rest back to the palace just in case." What do you think? ”

"Your Majesty! Even if you want to take it back, it will take a while. "Li Buqi is again categorical this time.

Zhao Zhen hurriedly asked, "Why?" ”

"Your Majesty is now taking the remaining brother back, isn't it calculated to admit that he drove the third prince out of the palace in the first place? The small people are ignorant, and they are only afraid that they will leave a bad reputation for unkindness to His Majesty. Moreover, the third prince is young now, and I am afraid that I will not be able to understand His Majesty's hard work, and it will not be good to have a problem in my heart in the future. ”

"Well, yes, yes. Indeed it is. Alas, what to do with this? "The Emperor has run out of ideas.

Li Buqi said very considerately for the emperor: "There is a way for the minister. It's just that this matter should not be left to the beak. ”

"You say it, come and hear it. I will tell. ”

"In fact, in this matter, it is not important whether the third prince is in the palace or outside the palace. The key is that some people think that His Majesty let the three princes out of the palace because he did not intend to pass on the throne to the three princes. But His Majesty has never said that he has such a plan, so he just needs to tell the heavens and the earth to refute the rumors. Then the rumors go away. ”

To be honest, the timid Zhao Zhen does regret it a little now. With this tendency, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Li Bu's method was indeed the best choice at present, not only to fool the heavens and the people without damaging his face, but also to avoid the distrust between father and son.

He nodded again and again: "Don't give up on the point." Why didn't I remember? I will send an envoy to tell heaven and earth, and also quell the rumors of the people. ”

Li Buqi said very intimately: "Since even Your Majesty knows about this, the third prince will hear about it sooner or later." Therefore, I also ask Your Majesty to immediately take the three princes into the palace and explain your Majesty's painstaking intentions to the three princes in person, so as not to mislead the three princes. ”

"Well, yes, yes. Chen Lin, hurry up and let someone pick up the rest of the brother. ”

On the way to the barracks outside the north gate, Li Buqi was pondering how to take advantage of the current situation.

Chen Zhizhong and Wen Yanbo are now talking about science. Interesting! Since they talk about science, we can add more fire and see if they can stick to science.

Li Buqi called a guard on the road to go back immediately to send a message to Zhang Yingniang, and then went to the barracks.

On the campus of the police barracks outside the north gate of Kaifeng, people shouted horses all day long. According to Li Buqi's request, the cavalry of the police division must stay on the horse all day as long as they have breakfast and dinner every training day.

Although Li Buqi had already explained in the recruitment notice that the cavalry training of the police department would be very difficult, the recruited forbidden soldiers were still underestimated. When I found out, not only did I have to stay on the horse all day, but I also had to be extremely strict with Li Buqi.

Li Buqi's requirement was that the trainees should use the eight-bucket riding bow to shoot ten arrows at a target thirty paces away and five arrows at a target fifty paces away every day. In addition, a four- to five-meter-long lance is used to pierce the stump, and the wooden stake will extend a long stick wrapped in cotton, and the trainee must remove the long stick and stab the target on the strawman. Short weapons are also a must to be trained, as well as foot combat.

The conscripts of the forbidden army were miserable, and the number of those who withdrew and those who were eliminated reached 800. But the food of the police division cavalry is really good, and Li Buqi will never withhold food and grass, so most of them still grit their teeth and persevere. However, the people who stayed behind are also looking forward to wild riding training, tracking training and formation training every day, which is relatively easy!

The officers and soldiers transferred from the Zhenwu Army are different again. They had long been accustomed to intense training, and now they needed to learn riding and horse fighting skills. Because the people transferred from the Shaanxi army have not yet arrived, Zhe Yinghui has brought Li Buqi to play a cameo role as an instructor. The folding family is one of the few skilled generals in the Great Song Dynasty who uses cavalry.

On the training ground, Li Buqi rode a horse to the busy Zhe Yinghui and said, "It seems that you can get on the horse today?" ”

Zhi Yinghui grimaced: "Don't worry." Official, I will definitely be able to meet your requirements. ”

Li Buqi pointed at a person in the distance with his horsewhip and asked, "Huh?" What's going on? Why is he in such a weird position? ”

Zhi Yinghui smiled: "That stupid is dead, I had to tie him to the horse." You don't know who of us there can't learn to ride a horse, so they will be tied to a horse, and it will be in three days. ”

Li Buqi didn't blame Zhe Yinghui for messing around, just smiled. There is no way to do this, if you want to lead a group of farming people to defeat a nation that has grown up on horseback since childhood, you have to suffer a little and shed a little blood. But for the prospects, he is confident. During the Russo-Japanese War, weren't the Japanese cavalry with short legs on a par with the Cossack cavalry who rode horses since childhood? Li Buqi believes that as long as he thinks of a way, there will be no problem in defeating the Song people's hat of not being good at fighting in the future.
