"No wonder!"

Zheng Xia's ingenious hand made Han Gang also amazed.

It's just that as soon as the word 'no wonder' came out, Wang Yan and Lu Huiqing's faces were a little ugly.

"Yukun, this is not the time to admire people!" Wang Yan said with a gloomy face.

Han Gang smiled and said, "It's okay." ”

Lu Huiqing is a deep person, and her kung fu returned to normal in the blink of an eye. Han Gang's self-confidence made him feel at ease, but he didn't forget to remind: "Zheng Xia presented that is a picture!" ”

Han Gang put away his smile and repeated seriously, "It's okay." ”

Han Gang certainly understood the usefulness of the diagram of the displaced people, and the vivid picture was far more convincing than the recital in black and white. When real images and empty words are placed together, which side is more credible, presumably the vast majority of people will not hesitate.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Lu Huiqing and Wang Yan have lost their square inches all at once, and on this picture, the situation that was originally stabilized with great difficulty has been completely reversed.

The best way to deal with this drought, which lasted from the sixth year of Xining to the seventh year of Xining, lasted for a long time, covered a wide area, and affected a large number of people, was to be effectively governed by the local governors and counties to pacify the victims - of course, this was impossible.

The remaining trick is not to let a large number of displaced people arrive in Beijing, otherwise there will be a slight turmoil in the capital, and when it is reflected in the court, it will be a big earthquake.

Everyone understands this truth, but if there is no Han Gang, it will be difficult for Wang Anshi to have a way to deal with it. Because he has a few people at hand, except for Zeng and Lu, in terms of his ability and experience in governance, he can't find a suitable and trustworthy candidate, so he can't let Zeng Bu or Lu Huiqing go out, right?

At the same time, in terms of grade, only Han Gang is the most suitable. You must know that Lu Dao, Han Gang's official rank was still above Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dian a year ago, but Lu Huiqing was promoted to a bachelor of Hanlin, and Zhang Dian made meritorious contributions in Jingnan, so he surpassed the past again. If Han Gang is included, among the important members of the New Party, his official rank is very high, second only to Lü, Zhang, and Zeng Bu, who betrayed Lu. Wang Yan, Zeng Xiaokuan, Lu Jiawen and others are actually inferior to him.

In terms of relationship, Han Gang is still Wang Anshi's son-in-law, although the two have disputes because of the recommendation of Zhang Zai to enter the Jingyi Bureau. However, Han Gang is still on the side of the New Party in terms of political ideas. Moreover, Wang Anshi and Han Gang have a conflict because of the affairs of the Jingyi Bureau, which is still an advantage. Han Gang was appointed as the magistrate of Baima County, and in the eyes of the outside world, Wang Anshi suspected that his son-in-law was in the way, so he kicked him out of the gang - although a large part of this is true, and no one was sure that the drought would continue at this time - there were many people who wanted to see the jokes of Weng and his son-in-law, so they bought a lot of time for Han Gang's preparations.

Han Gang's success was overjoyed, but if he didn't succeed in blocking the homeless, Wang Anshi and theirs would have to settle down and settle the homeless people outside the city. At that time, we must try to plug the ears and eyes of the Son of Heaven, so that he cannot know the tragic situation of the displaced people. Although it takes some twists and turns to do so, fortunately, it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to go out of the palace to inspect, and both sides are talking with empty mouths and white teeth, and when the time comes, it will be necessary to fight who the Son of Heaven will believe - although there are many examples of failure, there are also many successful cases.

But who would have thought that Zheng Xia would present a picture of the homeless?

Han Gang didn't see the picture, but he could imagine what was drawn on it.

People in the world believe that seeing is believing, and hearing is false. As the Son of Heaven, Zhao Ji did not have the right to enter and leave the palace at will. All he could do was sit in the immutable palace and learn about the current situation in his country from the cold words.

He has eyes and ears, he has secret agents, and the Imperial City Division can investigate things inside and outside the capital. But the report that Zhao Ji got was still cold, emotionless, and embellished text.

How can the dry words of 'the people are worried, the nineteen are afraid of death, the flight to the north and the south, and the difficult road' can touch people's hearts? The tragic situation of the people in rags, gnawing on plants and trees, and cannibalism can be depicted in words? Even with the pen power of Wang Anshi and Su Shi, it is impossible for Zhao Xu, who has never been hungry and trapped in the cold, to experience the hardships of the displaced people who cannot get relief.

And a picture of a wanderer who is not too high in painting level must have made an emperor who had never seen it feel shocked.

The overall situation of the displaced people today is actually much stronger than the situation described in all the impeachment notes against Wang Anshi. But words and paintings are both part of art, and there is no shortage of artistic exaggeration. Whether it is a song or a homeless picture, presumably Zheng Xia's exaggeration in it will not be too light, otherwise it will not let Zhao Xuan keep Wang Anshi until now.

At this time, Wang Anshi only had two points to be considered lucky.

One is that Zheng Xia took Baima County as his argument, and second, he Han Gang is here.

Han Gang was confident because of this. But Wang Yan was not at ease. How can you say that Han Gang is also empty talk, he said that Baima County is safe to resettle displaced people, can you make Zhao Ji, who has seen the map of displaced people, believe it? It is impossible for the Son of Heaven to leave the palace and go to Baima County to see what is going on in person. And when the emperor is suspicious, even if he is close to his inner servants, he will not trust it all.

So he reminded his brother-in-law again: "That's a picture! ”

"It's okay." Han Gang repeated it for the third time.

……………………

A letter issued by illegal means provoked a great change in the political situation of the court. But Zheng Xia, the initiator, was still staring at his soldiers at the door, as if nothing had happened.

The sound of people, cars and horses, came in from the window from time to time, and Zheng Xia lived in the humble hall by the city gate, secretly reciting the words on the recital.

"Such as the picture of the ministers under His Majesty, the words of the ministers, since now it has been ten days without rain, begging the ministers outside the Xuande Gate, in order to deceive the king and slow the sky. If there is little help, the more you beg the ministers to divide the punishment of words! ”

He sent horses without permission, and this crime cannot be escaped. But if Shengcong can no longer be blinded, so that the Son of Heaven can understand the tragic situation of the outsiders, as he said, and abolish the new law, then it will not rain after ten days, even if he is sentenced to a heavy sentence, he is willing to accept it.

Zheng Xia believes that his music and picture scrolls can touch the Son of Heaven. The day before yesterday, when he was painting and calligraphy with a pen, his mood was so agitated that he couldn't help himself, his hands were shaking, and several drafts were broken. The tragic situation of the displaced people is vividly remembered, and presumably after the Holy Monarch reads the papers, he will also understand the crimes of the court Zaifu blocking the way of speech and not letting the subordinates hear about it, as well as the remnants of the new law.

Originally, there were only a few thousand displaced people in the south of the city, and although the treatment was not good, there were not many starving deaths. Zheng Xia originally had the intention of writing, but he knew that the number of displaced people could not attract the attention of the Son of Heaven at all. Fortunately, he heard that there are tens of thousands of displaced people in Baima County!

Tens of thousands...... In the past two days, maybe there will be 100,000! It is really hateful to block so many displaced Hebei people on the edge of the Yellow River and prevent them from coming to the capital to receive relief!

Zheng Xia gritted his teeth, he could almost hear the cries of countless homeless people overpowering the surging Yellow River. If you are a victim of the court, how can you not avenge the people? !

"Hate what?"

Listening to the voice, Zheng Xia looked up. As soon as he saw the visitor, he put away the hatred on his face, and the voice of the welcoming guest was not enthusiastic: "It turned out to be Brother Dongmei." ”

Li Xun Li Dongmei has a flat nose, a pair of small eyes, a prominent jaw, a huge belly, but he can't see his neck, and his face is still pimpled, which looks like a toad at first glance. The same is true of his nickname, but Li Xun is called so, but he never gets angry and is a good-tempered person. That's why he could stand Zheng Xia's hard temper, and was sent by Wang Anshi to speak three or four times.

Seeing Li Xun's visit, Zheng Xia began to worry about whether his recital had been seen by the Son of Heaven.

Zheng Xia knew that he was valued by Wang Anshi, otherwise he would not have sent Wang Yan to invite his family to the Jingyi Bureau for a review the day before yesterday, and let Li Xun come to talk to him for three days, but because of this, he must not sit idly by and watch Wang Anshi corrupt the national government. Now there are worries inside and outside, isn't it the prime minister's fault?!

"I wonder what I'm hating?" Li Xun sat down and asked with a smile.

Zheng Xia had a calm face: "I just heard that the Hebei refugees are blocked by Baima and are not allowed to be resettled." ”

"Jiefu, you're wrong." Li Xun shook his head in surprise, "Han Yukun is in Baima County, digging wells, digging ditches, setting up camps, and properly retiring tens of thousands of displaced people. If he hadn't made a contribution to this matter, how could the Son of Heaven move him to the official affairs of the counties and towns in Kaifeng? ”

"A county to pacify tens of thousands of displaced people?" Zheng Xia recalled that when he saw Wang Bian a few days ago, he suddenly closed his mouth after talking about the tens of thousands of displaced people in Baima County, and immediately scoffed, "Joke, is it really that everyone in the world is blind?!" There are only 2,000 households in Baima County! ”

"Jiefu, seeing is believing!" Li Xun persuaded, "Han Gang has many awards and inventions in Kansai, and the sleigh cart that transported grain from the south last year was not created by him, not to mention the crystal yang sui, thunderbolt cannon and other things, who knows that his people cannot appease the displaced people." ”

"Kansai?" Zheng Xia snorted coldly, "It is this generation that is greedy for merit and profit, vain provocation, and the people are anointed with blood and wasted on useless things, which makes Beidi ready to move." Su Ri only saw the southern expedition and the northern expedition, and all the generals in the border areas came with the momentum of victory, the shape of mountains and rivers, and the drawing, but no one reported the situation of the people of the world to the world to sell their wives and daughters, fathers and sons were not guaranteed, migrated and left, and were in tatters, demolishing houses and cutting mulberry, fighting for goods in the city, and losing officials to buy rice. ”

Zheng Xia's series of short sentences smashed out like a stone, running under Wang Anshi's door, but Li Xun, a three-year-old jinshi in Xining, had his own talents. He looked ugly, but his eloquence was not bad, and he pointed out the door, "I don't know what you said, where are you now?" ”

When Zheng Xia heard this, he became angry, raised his eyebrows, and asked sharply: "Isn't it?!" ”

“…… Is it a lot? Li Xun also asked leisurely, "If this kind of suffering, no one in the people suffers, the world has long been full of smoke, how can you and I still sit here now?" ”

Zheng Xia said in a deep voice: "Dongmei, you must know the reason to prevent the slightest. When the plague has not come, the wind and waves have calmed down, and when it comes, it will be like a storm, and it cannot be recovered. Shedding blood through corpses, only to know defeat, this fool's opinion. Those who are more valuable than the Holy Spirit will be able to prevent disasters before they happen, and turn disasters into blessings! ”

He got up and pointed out the window as well: "Today's thing is that the mountain rain is coming, and it has not yet been hidden." If you don't stop the bad government, chase away the traitors, save the world, and regret it too late! ”

"Abolish the bad government and chase out the traitors?"

"The so-called maladministration, green seedlings, exemption from service, armor, and horses are also. The so-called traitors, Zeng Bu, Lu Huiqing, and Lu Jia asked if they were ......" Zheng Xia said hatefully, "People like Han Gang who deceive Shengcong and deceive the monarch must not be kept!" ”
