Chapter 396: Lock Zhao Yunrang

Zhao Zhen had a huge map in front of him, which was really the universe of the Great Song Dynasty. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhao Zhen called Ouyang Xiu over yesterday, and when he was chatting, he naturally mentioned the matter of moving the capital.

Ouyang Xiu put forward some opinions, as far as the enclave that Wang Ning'an got in Jiaozhi is concerned, it has now expanded one after another, with a size of 3 million mu, and the annual output of rice is 10 million stones, and 5 million stones can be transported back to the Great Song Dynasty.

At present, the merchant ships of the Great Song Dynasty are getting bigger and bigger, the largest can hold 15,000 stone of rice, the average is about 8,000 stones, more than 600 ships, can transport the rice back to the Great Song Dynasty, each ship uses only 300 personnel, the time is only two months, it can be transported to Pingxian, and the loss is only one percent.

If you use land transportation, a carriage can only load 10 stones of rice at most, and the loss on the road is at least 30%, if you catch up with the rain, or other accidents, from the south of the Yangtze River to Bianjing, it takes two or three months, to transport 10,000 stone of grain, you need 1,000 carriages, people are not machines, but also need to rest, long-distance trafficking, at least two coachmen, and along the way every half a month to change livestock, otherwise the animals will be tired to death.

Manpower, animal power, dozens of times more than sea transportation, simply cannot afford it.

With the size of Bianjing, it can only be supported by canals.

However, in recent years, the Yellow River has been short of water, siltation has accumulated, and rainfall in the north has decreased...... Many threats have impacted the prosperity of Bianjing.

Ouyang Xiu calculated an account for Zhao Zhen, the cost of shipping is less than half of Caoyun, and the shipping is point-to-point, as long as the port is repaired, the middle route does not care, Caoyun is not good, the waterway along the way must be maintained, and the annual consumption is several million......

And with the success of the business, many people of insight have seen the benefits of overseas.

Ouyang Xiu told Zhao Zhen about this, and finally came to a problem, that is, the capital should be close to the ocean.

"The drunkard said that when you were in the Six Arts Academy, you often said that wealth came from the sea, but do you have that?"

"That's right!" Wang Ningan said: "Overseas resources are abundant, there is a lot of land, and the development is not deep. For a small price, you can get a good return. ”

"Your Majesty, please see."

Wang Ning'an pointed to an island hanging in the sea, "Your Majesty, this place was originally Goryeo, but now it is occupied by the Bohai Kingdom...... In fact, it is our horse farm. The minister just got the news that my third uncle and cousin have returned from Tianzhu, and they have brought back a kind of war horse of a divine horse, which is enough to bear the weight of the iron horse, and help my Great Song Dynasty recover Yanyun and sweep the barbarians! ”

"Really?" Zhao Zhen was surprised and asked, "Is there really a good horse overseas?" ”

"It's true, this kind of horse is even stronger than the northland horse of Liao, enough to compete with the sweat and blood horse!"

Wang Ning'an doesn't know much about the specific situation of Ma Warima, and the god horse in the hearts of the Great Song Dynasty people is the sweat and blood horse. Listening to him compare like this, Zhao Zhen's heart seemed to be on fire, and he really wanted to take a good look.

"Wang Qing, the drunkard proposed to me that Youzhou is based on the Great Wall in the north, the Central Plains in the south, and the sea in the east. It's really the best choice for the capital, but it's a pity that such a good location actually fell into the hands of Liao Kou, I am unwilling! ”

Wang Ningan was also excited when he saw that Zhao Zhen took the initiative to mention Youzhou.

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks so, only Youzhou, which has the advantages of sea and land, has thousands of weather, and has a grand pattern, so it is the best choice for the capital. The minister thought that the matter of subduing Yan Yun must be implemented as soon as possible, and he categorically could not let this treasure land continue to be poisoned by Liao Kou! ”

Zhao Zhen nodded happily, "That's what I mean, and even I plan to tour the north and see for myself whether the Hebei armies can deal with the Liao soldiers!" = But there is still one thing that has not been dealt with at the moment, and I can't rest assured! Zhao Zhen took two steps with his hands behind his back and called Wang Ningan to the side, and the two monarchs and ministers stood shoulder to shoulder, leaving everyone else far away. Zhao Zhen raised his head slightly, looked at the churning clouds in the sky, and said lightly: "The emperor was not poisoned because of drinking water. ”

Wang Ningan had no accident, in fact, he already knew that Zhao Zhen treasured his son, and the little prince used the spring water outside the city, not the well water in the palace.

According to Wang Ning'an's judgment, the little prince was born less than a year ago, and he would never accumulate so much lead just from contact with the outside world, let alone show signs of lead poisoning......

After thinking about it, Wang Ningan only had one explanation, that is, someone knew that there was lead poison in the palace, and then he tried to increase the lead intake of the little prince, and finally killed the little prince without knowing it.

I have to say that this method is too vicious and insidious.

Since there are no various instruments, there are so many lead pipes in the palace itself, and even if they are found out, there is no way to find out the murderer, so they can only admit that they are unlucky.

With Zhao Zhen's age, I'm afraid that I won't want to have children anymore, as long as the little prince dies...... Zhao Zhen was hit hard, maybe he would hang up in a few days, and at that time, who would inherit the throne was really imaginative!

King Runan, Zhao Yunrang!

Wang Ningan immediately suspected him, there was no way, this old prince never forgot it, it was the throne. Moreover, Wang Ningan also heard that Zhao Yunrang believed in Taoism very much in the early years, and there were many monks around him, but later when he was older, the Taoist priests dispersed.

Wang Ning'an speculated a possibility, Zhao Yunrang knew about the poison of lead and mercury through contact with Taoist priests in his early years, and because he was in charge of Zongzheng Temple, many projects in the palace were handled by him, and the palace had lead pipes, so he must know about it.

With Zhao Yunrang's ability, using lead poison to kill Zhao Zhen's children, and ensuring that his son ascends the throne, he is absolutely capable of doing it, he is motivated, capable, and ruthless, who else can there be besides him?

"I suspected Zong Jing, what did Wang Qing think?" Zhao Zhen asked with a smile.

"Impossible!"

Wang Ningan said categorically: "Zhao Zong Jingchen is still familiar with him, a person who values family affection more than anything else, will definitely not do such a heartbreaking thing, the minister can only say that in his heart, His Majesty is his relative and his uncle!" ”

Zhao Zhen smiled, "Wang Qing, the heavenly family is ruthless!" Zong Jing's stupid boy didn't know what ecstasy soup he poured into you, so he was desperate to excuse him. You know, I really have a mistake, he is the one who hopes the most, and you are likely to become his biggest helper! One sentence just now is enough to cut off your head! ”

These words are enough to punish, Wang Ningan's head is sweating, although Zhao Zhen is benevolent, he is the emperor after all, and he is a man-eating tiger!

If you say the wrong thing, you may lose your life!

Wang Ningan gritted his teeth, "Your Majesty, the minister was promoted by His Majesty, everything in the Wang family was given by His Majesty, and the minister was loyal to His Majesty, loyal to His Majesty's son...... If there is really the situation that His Majesty said, if the ministers and ministers dare not go against their will, Zhao Zongjing is indeed better than that! ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Wang Ning'an meaningfully, and after a while, he suddenly laughed, "I finally understand, it turns out that your kid and Zong Jing are exactly the same!" Temperament and temperament, they are too similar! Zhao Zhen was very happy, "You confessed to me, I don't tell lies, I do suspect Zhao Zongjing, but since Tian Fang jumped out and wanted to stop the relocation of the capital, I guessed that it couldn't be Zhao Zongjing's doing, he didn't have the ability!" ”

Wang Ningan secretly sweated.

Second goods, brother!

You've taken a turn around the ghost gate!

Zhao Zongjing should indeed be glad that no matter when, it is not a good thing to be targeted by the emperor. Even Wang Ningan should be secretly happy, Tian Fang suddenly jumped out, which is equivalent to proving their innocence, and there is no need to worry about being suspected by the emperor.

Zhao Zhen holds the Imperial City Division in his hand, and secretly has a lot of eyeliner, he has been an emperor for decades, he is not in vain.

At the beginning of Tian Fang's career, his family didn't have much money, and he couldn't afford to rent a house in the capital, but a business house helped him, and the owner behind this business house was Zhao Yunrang!

Such a big loophole actually allowed Zhao Zhen to catch it, and he responded to a sentence and made a mistake in his busyness.

Zhao Zhen proposed to move the capital, the most frightened person was actually Zhao Yunrang, this old guy, decades of layout, are all placed in Bianliang, if the capital is moved, his arrangement will fall short, his connections will be lost, and the lore of Zhao Zhen will also lose the possibility.

The only way to do everything possible is to leave Zhao Zhen behind.

In a hurry, he played the card of Tian Fang.

If you want to say Zhao Zhen, he is worthy of being an emperor for decades, and his mind is really gloomy.

He had long known that the little prince was contaminated with lead poison and would not simply be caused by the lead pipe, but he just endured it and didn't say anything, pointed the finger at the lead pipe, made a fuss about building the palace, moved the capital, and moved to the military camp...... What is he doing, he is looking for the real murderer!

Zhao Yunrang is an old fox, and Zhao Zhen is the same, two foxes, so far, Zhao Zhen has the upper hand.

"Wang Qing, there is one thing I still don't understand, that is, who poisoned the emperor, and who is Zhao Yunrang's person in the palace?"

Wang Ning'an smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, I am afraid that this matter will never be clear, unless Zhao Yun lets himself speak." ”

"yes!" Zhao Zhen forcibly suppressed the urge to roar, "My imperial brother, my mind is gloomy and his methods are ruthless, I don't know how many times I have been cheated by him over the years!" ”

Zhao Zhen said, clenching his fists, looking furious!

"No matter what, I'm going to abolish him this time! Avenge the innocent who died! Zhao Zhen was furious, "I have made an order to interrogate Tian Fang strictly, be sure to pry his mouth open, as long as he agrees to testify, Zhao Yunrang will not be able to escape!! ”

Wang Ningan's heart tightened, this Uncle Zhao is also ruthless enough, of course, put himself in his shoes and change it to himself, but he didn't have the heart to wait, so he directly ordered to cut down all the suspects

"Your Majesty, if you tell your ministers this, I'm afraid that you have something important to order!"

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Wang Qing is really smart, I want you to be the chief judge of the interrogation of King Runan...... After all, the others were afraid that they would show mercy. ”

This is to make yourself an executioner!

Wang Ning'an smiled bitterly in his heart, but after thinking about it again, Zhao Zhen moved his murderous intent, Zhao Yunrang had only one way to die, and Zhao Zongshi would never become the emperor, even if he became an executioner, what was there to fear!

"Thanks to Your Majesty's trust, the minister will go to interrogate Tian Fang, pry his mouth open, and then immediately arrest Zhao Yunrang, you're welcome!"

"Good! I am waiting for Aiqing's good news. Zhao Zhen said happily.
