On the contrary, this drought is not just a local phenomenon, for Zhao Xu, who has just ascended the throne, it has little to do, but it is undoubtedly a very huge blow to Gao Taotao, who has just listened to the government.
Therefore, after some discussion, Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu immediately pointed the finger at Cai Qu and Zhang Dun, who are still staying in Bianliang City, and they are lucky to be the best candidates for this black pot to bear the large-scale drought for them this time.
As for those hungry people who fled to Hedong Road in Luoyang Province last year, they should not return to Hedong Road for the time being, although they have escaped the drought this time, in fact, the situation there is more serious than the drought, and there are still many places on the entire Hedong Road where the snow covering the ground has not melted. Even in later generations, there are not many ways to encounter such weather, let alone ancient times.
Seeing that this year's spring ploughing on the entire Hedong Road has become a luxury, there is no way to grow grain, and there will be no harvest this year. If these hungry people were to be put back like this, not only would it not help, but it would plunge the entire Hedong Road and these hungry people into even greater despair.
When that time comes, to save or not to save?
If it is saved, it is bound to allocate a large amount of food from Bianliang City to relieve the people of the entire Hedong Road, judging from Zheng Xia's previous urine, he will not only be difficult to do anything in that position, but will even completely intensify the contradictions.
What's more, from Bianliang City to Hedong Road, although the distance between the two roads is very short, no matter how short the distance is, there will always be some food loss in the process of transporting grain, and under Zheng Xia's hands, this loss will be more.
At this time, Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu gradually felt a hint of hardship.
Standing on the side of the reformers and accusing them of how their actions were detrimental to the country and the people, there was one thing that no one could deny, and that was that Wang Anshi and his henchmen were able to fill the treasury with food and goods even in the face of great disasters.
It is no wonder that later generations have such comments when they mentioned Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi-
The king of convergence, the minister of convergence.
It can be said in one sentence.
Song Shenzong's appointment of Wang Anshi was indeed to enrich the country and strengthen the army and stabilize the stability of the Zhao and Song regimes, but when many ministers and nobles objected, he showed an ambiguous attitude. However, after Wang Anshi resigned twice, he changed.
The reason why Song Shenzong still appointed the ministers of the reform faction to continue to maintain the reform of the law has also changed the fundamental purpose, because the reform can fill the treasury of the state and his own inner treasury, and can also maintain his crazy attack**. It is no wonder that Chong Ge, Li Xian and Xu Xi have been trying their best to provoke the Western Xia Kingdom at the border.
Of course, the two rulers of the Western Xia Kingdom were war maniacs, and their wolf ambitions were not much less than those of Li Yuanhao back then. However, why is this not the case with Song Shenzong? The people who know the emperor best are not his parents, nor his concubines, nor his ministers, but the eunuchs and eunuchs around him. It is no wonder that Li Xian, a eunuch, has been able to be favored all the time, although he has been an official outside.
In seven months, the hungry people on Hedong Road have consumed one-tenth of the grain stored in Bianliang City and the state treasury, and now the drought will affect many roads in the Central Plains, so the conservative ministers unanimously believe that for the sake of today, not only should Lu Dafang stop his actions, but also disperse these hungry people to other roads in the south.
As for which way it is, it's not hard to choose.
Jinghu North Road and Jinghu South Road, speaking of which, I have to thank one person, he is Zhang Dun.
This deputy minister, who will soon be demoted to Lingnan, is the great hero who opened up Jinghu for the Great Song Dynasty.
In the fifth year of Xining, he was appointed as an envoy to Hunan and Hubei, and received 4,809 households and 260,000 mu of land.
Although some people said that Zhang Dian had killed too many people in Pingjiang, and that most of the people he killed were innocent people, Zhang Jie, who impeached Zhang Tun, was simply jealous of Zhang Tun's outstanding achievements in the local area and tried to confuse the public.
When Zhang Dian opened up Jinghu, it was indeed possible for the forbidden army under his command to kill good people by mistake, but compared to what those barbarians in Jinghu did to the local Han people, it was simply a big deal. Moreover, most of the innocent people who died in Zhang Jie's so-called were those barbarians in Jinghu Road who refused to surrender and had been in a semi-secession, endangering the lives of the Han people and the rule of the Great Song Dynasty.
Those who are not of my race will have different hearts.
Zhao Kuangyin originally wanted to concentrate his forces on dealing with the threat of Liao, so he resigned himself to those barbarians who ostensibly submitted to him, which also made Jinghu Road, especially Meishanman, extremely arrogant.
Five years after Xining, on the surface, it was Pan Shu, the governor of Tanzhou, and Cai Yu, the deputy envoy of Hunan Transport, who were ordered to peacefully solve the Meishan problem, but in fact, the reason why those Meishan people really surrendered was that the butcher's knife in Zhang's hand saw their heads, and in order to save their lives, they surrendered one after another.
Only force can convince the barbarians who have not yet been fully civilized.
At the beginning, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty passed through Guizhou, Yunnan, it was precisely because of the deterrence of force that there was a beautiful talk about Wen Weng's rule of Shu later.
Soon, the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao approved the invitation of Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongshu, Cai Qu and Zhang Dian were demoted from Bianliang City, and Lingnan, thousands of miles away, naturally became the best destination for these two.
In the first month of the first year of Yuanyou, Xiao Zhao Xu and the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao drove in a car respectively, and watched and prayed for rain in the temple on the same day. Gao Tao went to the Great Xiangguo Temple and the female Taoist Temple, originally, according to Gao Tao's habits in the past, she also went back to the Guanyin Temple. However, since Cai Dao entered Beijing, Gao Taotao has never been to Guanyin Temple again. Because, as soon as you enter the Guanyin Temple, you can immediately see the golden boy and jade girl standing behind the Guanyin Master, and naturally you will think of Cai Dao, the Luo pot.
Does Guanshi be shot while lying down?
Xiao Zhao Xu first went to Taiping Xingguo Temple, and then Baoci Temple, Changsheng Palace, Yanning Palace, originally, he also wanted to go to see the nursery, after all, this was the first errand he took on when he was the crown prince, although it was only in name.
However, after he left the palace, the Empress Dowager Xiang accompanied him throughout the whole process, ostensibly as an escort, but in fact she was monitoring. Gao Tao was not worried about the ministers of the Reformers who were still in the capital, and then approached Zhao Xu at this opportunity and continued to bewitch him.
With the disgraceful departure of Cai Qu and Zhang Dun, the power of the reformers in Bianliang City collapsed in an instant, and within a few days, the ministers belonging to the camp of the reformers were demoted out of the capital, and their destinations were also Lingnan.
When Wang Anshi changed the law, even if so many people opposed it, Wang Anshi did not demote these ministers who opposed his change to Lingnan, and he has always been guarding the bottom line. Later, it was Lu Huiqing and Deng Guan who took advantage of several major cases to rectify some conservative ministers, but the ministers who were really demoted to Lingnan were basically some insignificant petty officials among the conservatives, and the number was not too many.
In the Wutai poetry case, one main offender and two accomplices, Wang Gong, the accomplice, was sentenced more heavily and was directly demoted to Penn in Lingnan, but Su Dabeard, the main culprit, was demoted to Huangzhou on Jinghu North Road.
The origin of this verdict is actually based on Song Shenzong's own likes and dislikes, and it has nothing to do with Lu Huiqing and them.
Now, Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu have done so decisively, and they have completely opened Pandora's box. It also laid the groundwork for the tragic fate of conservative ministers in the future, after Song Zhezong came into power.
The two of them did this, which completely made the dispute between the two factions irreconcilable. And all this is actually what Sima Guang means who is still on the sickbed, and he now hates those silverfish of the Fa-changing faction.
Originally, Sima Guang didn't want to let go of the two brothers, Cai Jing and Cai Bian, but now Cai Bian is serving by Wang Anshi's side, and Cai Jing's eldest son and several of Cai Bian's children have been kidnapped by the bandits, which makes Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu unable to continue to do anything to the two of them.
On that day, if Zheng Xia had not appeared at the opening scene of Baiyun Temple, even if Cai You and Cai Dao were caught in the bandits, Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu would have demoted Cai Jing to Lingnan, which would be understandable, but Zheng Xia was implicated in it, and this time, it made the two Xiangye numb. At this time, going to Cai Jing, who has returned to his hometown, will definitely be criticized.
The two of them believed that if they really had to give their opinions on the handling of Cai Jing to the Empress Dowager, this time, Gao Taotao, who had always been obedient to them, would also keep this performance in the middle. At this sensitive time, it is indeed unkind to deal with Cai Jing, who has resigned, in this way, and it will definitely make other ministers sympathize with Cai Jing's experience.
As a result, Zeng Bu, who resigned at the same time as Cai Jing, became a punching bag, the most enforcer of the exemption law, and he was also demoted to Lingnan when he had just returned to his hometown. On the contrary, it was Cai Jing, the future traitor, who avoided this Lingnan trip of the minister of the Reform Sect because of Cai Dao's idea.
At the same time, Lu Dafang also received a reply from the imperial court.
