At this time, Liang Shicheng didn't care about passing the decree at all, but lay under Zhao Xu's feet, putting dragon shoes on the dragon's feet, the weather had not warmed yet, Zhao Xu was so barefoot, he was really afraid that Zhao Xu would catch a cold because of this.

"Naturally, Your Majesty, Weichen will go down and arrange for you to go on patrol." Yang Wei sang a fat promise at Zhao Xu.

As soon as Yang Wei's idea came out, Zhang Dian and Zeng's brothers turned a little pale.

In other words, the new emperor has just succeeded to the throne and inspected his capital, as long as he does not go out of the outer gate of Bianliang City, it is not very out of line. The imperial historians just wanted to impeach them, and the reasons were not very good.

If these imperial historians don't have a long eye, they have to follow this impeachment of the head, just take this opportunity to wipe out the conservative imperial historians. Replace all the imperial histories with those stalwarts of the law change faction who have returned to the capital and are still waiting for the new appointment.

This is what Zhang Dian thinks in his heart now, although he also knows that it is impossible to use his cronies to win all the positions of the imperial history, but taking this opportunity to install more people in the imperial history platform is the most important thing now. You know, even the ministers of the reform faction are not monolithic.

Zhang Dian now knows very well in his heart that although the position of the prime minister must be his own, but among the ministers of the Fa-Reform Sect now, the biggest threat to himself is actually Cai Dao's father and uncle who just caused a big disaster, that is, the two brothers Cai Jing and Cai Bian.

In terms of qualifications, except for Lu Huiqing, who is still in Beijing, no one else can compare to him.

However, in terms of connections, he is naturally not as good as Cai Bian, the son-in-law of the prince.

And in terms of performance in Yuan Younian, he is still not as good as Sima Guang, Cai Jing and Zeng Bu, who took the initiative to resign. At that time, he, like Cai Qu, was carried away by the power, and he couldn't see clearly that the law changers had gone at that time, so it was better to take the initiative to leave the capital.

Speaking of which, the knowledge of these bigwigs of the Fa-changing faction is actually not as good as Cai Dao, this kid chose to leave Bianliang City immediately after the death of the first emperor. It was a firework that didn't drag the mud and water, and didn't take away the meaning. At that time, the back of the child leaving was still desolate. But now that I think about it, Cai Dao at that time lived more clearly than these adults.

Know when to stay and when to go. Zhang Dian knew in his heart that this kind of prediction may have come from Cai Dao's hint in his dream, but that kind of decisive decision was definitely made by Cai Dao himself.

So, now that the matter of going out on patrol has been decided, and Yang Wei has proposed a solution, several other people know that Zhao Xu has made up his mind now, and if he continues to persuade like this, he will only be disgusted by the official family.

What's more, the matter of patrolling Bianliang City itself is not out of line.

The rest of the things are left to Di Yong and Yang Wei.

Today, there is no privy envoy in the court, and the only deputy privy envoy is Gao Zunyu. Because of the face of the Empress Dowager, Zhao Xu did not remove him from office. However, that's it, and there is no need to worry, because of the matter of the five-way war, this guy is not only in the Western Army, but also in the Forbidden Army. He served as the deputy privy envoy in Bianliang City for eight years, and there was no war in the country, and there was no rebellion, so he was just a privy envoy of Taiping.

As soon as Zhao Xu came to power, the generals in Bianliang City all regarded him as air, even the forbidden army that had made Ruo slaves in the past had no one to come to the door for him to drive. No one is really afraid of death, and no one is willing to show loyalty to this villain.

Gao Zunyu's prestige is not as good as Di Yong, who has just been reinstated as the commander of the palace!

At that time, as long as Di Yong and Yang Wei put all the areas of Beicheng's Xinshuzao Gate and Xinfengqiu Gate under martial law, they could ensure Zhao Xu's safety.

"Hmm. Yang Aiqing, you go. Zhao Xu nodded, which was considered to be acceptable to Yang Wei's words, but unexpectedly, he then said something that made Yang Wei grateful: "You do things, I can rest assured!" Hurry up and arrange it! ”

When Empress Dowager Xiang got the news and was ready to stop Zhao Xu from touring Bianliang City in person, when she arrived at the Qinzheng Palace, she found that it was too late.

At this time, Zhao Xu was already sitting on the dragon chariot, surrounded by several close ministers, palace maids and eunuchs and pro-guard forbidden troops, along the royal road to the north, first out of the imperial city, Jinglongmen in the inner city, through the stone bridge on the Wuzhang River, along the way, because Di Yong and Yang Wei temporarily sealed a nearby area, so, there are not many people who can be seen.

didn't see the spectacular scene of Wanmin Jingcong, which made the little emperor inevitably feel a little regretful, but he also knew that he had just been in power for a short time, and he still had a lot to do if he wanted to get the support of all the people like Renzong.

Without the onlookers, Zhao Xu and his party came to the new sour jujube gate very smoothly.

The reason why he chose this road was because Zhao Xu was very disgusted with the name of the city gate in the northeast corner of the outer city near the side of Xinfengqiu Gate - Chen Qiao Gate.

Although the Zhao and Song dynasties began with the Chenqiao Mutiny, the subsequent emperors were very taboo about this name. I don't know what Song Taizong thought, when he succeeded to the throne, he didn't change a more auspicious name to this city gate.

Surrounded by everyone, Zhao Xu finally set foot on his own capital for the first time, and his mood was naturally extremely excited.

However, when he looked at the north and looked into the distance, in an instant, the little emperor's face became a little pale, as if someone had suddenly smeared a thick layer of powder.

At this time, as far as the eye can see, the towering embankment is sandwiched with muddy water, like a fierce yellow beast, rushing towards the east, and at the same time, wave after wave slapping violently against the embankment on both sides, as if trying to break the shackles and run rampant on both sides.

Standing on the city wall, people with better eyesight can still see that on the side of the embankment on the east bank of the Yellow River, there are countless people the size of ants busy there.

Needless to say, this must be the people who have been sticking to the flood fight.

If, at this moment, Zhao Xu really had to come to the Yellow River embankment in person, I am afraid that he would be like Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, who would cut Yang Wei, a close confidant, in a fit of anger.

The lives of the people themselves are extremely difficult, but people like these who have been sticking to the embankment of the Yellow River for more than four months and have been soaked in the wind, rain and muddy water are even more miserable. He could only eat two meals a day that were already cold, and he couldn't eat enough or eat well, although he didn't eat with rubble like Chai Rong found, but it wasn't much better.

These people were recruited temporarily, and this was the ancient mercenary service, also known as the conscription, and there was no wage at all. Not only has they delayed their usual work of supporting their families, but no one has gone to consult for them along the way, and these people at the bottom can only carry it when they are sick.

Under the countless evils of not having enough food, not having enough clothing, not having enough nutrition, and having a bad environment, these kind people still silently endure physical and mental exhaustion and pain, and stick to the front line of flood fighting.

Why?

Because, they know, once the Yellow River embankment breaks through here, it won't be them! The entire Gyeonggi region will become a flooded country, and even the fortified Bianliang Fortress may not be able to stop the raging river.

These people, who have been struggling on the verge of death, cannot get a penny of wages, partly because of the ancient system of taxation and forced labor, and partly because the conservative ministers completely abolished the exemption law, so that those rich and the subordinates of official eunuchs completely escaped this conscription.

In four months, Zhao Xu naturally didn't know how many people died in the first flood on the edge of Bianliang City, and Kaifeng Mansion Yin, Tongju and Mansion Cheng naturally didn't pay attention to such a 'trivial matter'.

Before entering Beijing this time, Cai Dao deliberately observed the real situation of this large section of the Yellow River embankment all the way from Luoyang to Bianliang City.

Seeing this inhuman scene, how can Cai Dao, who travels through the crowd, not be sad, how not to be alarmed, and how not to be indignant?

This is also the fundamental reason why Cai Dao said those rebellious words as if he had eaten gunpowder as soon as he saw Zhao Xu.

It's a pity that everyone on the city wall couldn't really understand the deep meaning of Cai Dao's words.

The suffering of the people, the cynics of this era, who can really understand it?

Even Fan Zhongyan, who was born in poverty, has never really experienced it.

Everyone on the city wall was amazed by the spectacle.

Most of the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace have naturally never seen it, even those who came to Bianliang City by boat from the Yellow River, and they must not have paid attention to such a majestic and terrifying scene.

What's more, just as Yang Wei said, before, in the area from Luoyang to Jingxi Road, God had been raining heavily for more than four months, and such a large and long-term rain had boosted the power of the rolling dragon of the Yellow River.

At this time, who cares about those untouchables who are as despicable as ants in their eyes at the moment?

After noon, the people who were full of worries followed the royal car back to the palace.

Zhao Xu did not let these cronies and ministers go home.
