Chapter 136: The Flood is Overwhelming
People are all in the dark, always think that they are their own people, for their own good, listen to their own words, and will not harm themselves...... But it is precisely a lot of great characters who are folded in the hands of "their own people". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Xia Xianggong had always thought that Jia Changchao and the gentlemen of Qingli wanted to harm themselves, and all the excuses they came up with were all deception, and they couldn't believe a word.
But when he saw Fu Han's relatively compromise plan and heard that Zheng Xiang was desperate to hurry up the construction, Xia Zhu thought of another possibility.
The enemy is not good-hearted, and the hearts of his own people may not be loyal!
The little cub has his own idea, which is to roast the master on the fire!
Xia Zhu immediately led people straight to the Liuta River construction site, after all, the old man was old, and when he arrived, he was already out of breath and sweating.
"Zheng Xiang, you come over for me."
Seeing Xia Zhu coming, Zheng Xiang, who was sweating profusely, hurriedly ran over and bowed down.
"The students have seen their teachers."
"Well, pass on the old man's order to stop work temporarily."
"Ah, teacher, disciple heard me right, right?" Zheng Xiang asked in surprise.
Xia Zhu gasped and repeated, "The old man asked you to stop working. ”
At this moment, Zheng Xiang was anxious, and said aggrievedly: "The disciple doesn't care about the hard work, he works hard, and it is about to be done, how can you let the disciple stop working, these hundreds of thousands of people can't work in vain!" ”
As soon as he shouted like this, the other officials in charge of the river work also came over, and they all objected to every word you said to me.
They were chaotic, like flies, Xia Zhu couldn't listen to a word, and the old man was only full of anger.
Okay, it's really a tiger that doesn't bite when he's old, and he's not afraid of himself anymore, if it was a few years ago, would you dare to do this? Xia Zhu was really annoyed, but these people were his henchmen, and he really couldn't tear his face.
Those who come out to mix will have to be returned.
Xia Zhu finally recovered a little, waved his hand, and called Zheng Xiang to the pergola next to him, and after sitting down, Xia Zhu put forward Zhao Zhen's will, as well as Fu Bi and Han Qi's strategy.
"The old man thinks that this law is honest and seeking the country, even if it is not implemented, it will drag on for two months, after the autumn flood, it is best to wait until it is about to freeze, the amount of water is small, and the risk is low, otherwise once there is a problem, the old man has no face to face the world!"
Zheng Xiang felt like a fire in his heart, my Xia Xianggong, if this drags on for two months, after winter, how will the land be prepared, and how will it be cultivated next year? If you don't make money, it's really a bad brain!
His eyes rolled, and he immediately had an idea, Zheng Xiang wiped his tears, pretending to be very pitiful and aggrieved.
"Teacher, the disciple has the courage to say a word, your old man has been calculated."
Xia Zhu glared at him, and said angrily: "Say the reason? ”
"Isn't this obvious, Liutahe saw that it was done, and they couldn't stop it, so they came up with such a way, delaying it for two months, and it sounded good, they harbored evil intentions."
Xia Zhu's face changed slightly, the corners of his mouth moved, and Zheng Xiangyou said busily: "It's been four or five months since the teacher left Beijing, and the post of cardinal minister is still vacant, Han Qi and Jia Changchao are all staring at it!" In two months, half a year will have passed since the vacancy of the cardinal, and they can encourage Your Majesty to reappoint a cardinal, and then the teacher will not be able to return. ”
Suck!
Xia Zhuzhen's face changed, the stage of the Great Song Dynasty was in the capital, and he couldn't gain a firm foothold in Bianjing, so it was useless to have any skills. Fan Zhongyan's fame is big, and his prestige is high! It's a pity that he is not in the capital, so he can only be constantly transferred, once in less than half a year, and he will be displaced, and he can kill you alive!
The literati are ruthless, that is arsenic mixed with garlic, poisonous and spicy.
Xia Zhu doesn't have Fan Zhongyan's popularity, if he leaves the capital, he won't be played to death, thinking of this, Xia Zhu is anxious again, he really needs to return to Beijing quickly, but the engineering side is ......
Seeing that Xia Zhu was in trouble, Zheng Xiang encouraged again: "Don't worry, the disciple dares to take the head as a guarantee, the Liuta River is as solid as gold, and immediately plug the Shanghu mouth, if something goes wrong, the disciple is willing to jump off the Yellow River and hand over his life to the teacher!" ”
"What do I want your life for? Someone is killing me! ”
Xia Zhu sighed helplessly, he waved his hand, drove Zheng Xiang out, and was quiet by himself.
With decades of experience, Xia Zhu clearly knows that Zheng Xiang is disloyal, he has his own abacus, but he follows Fu Bi and Han Qi and his gang, slows down the businessman's nonsense, and the blow to his prestige is too great......
Xia Xianggong was aggressive and came to the construction site, but went back quietly, Zheng Xiang secretly laughed, and the river work continued.
Back at the mansion, Xia Zhu was exhausted and wanted to rest, but the housekeeper told him that a guest had come to visit.
Who's coming?
It was Han Jiang.
"I was ashamed to meet Xia Xianggong in my later life, but I failed to complete my father's entrustment." Han Jiang bowed to the ground, ashamed.
Xia Zhu was stunned for a moment, and smiled generously, "It's okay, the old man can see that Fu Han and Ouyang Xiu are no longer what they used to be, and they are not Wuxia Ameng!" ”
Obviously, Xia Zhu can't guess how the little Wang Ning'an is evil, he only has the ability to increase his ability as an opponent, Han Jiang is not a long-tongued woman, you have to tell Xia Zhu everything, you don't know, you are unlucky, what should Lao Tzu do!
The two of them sat opposite each other for a while, and Xia Zhu suddenly asked, "Zihua, what do you think of the matter of Liuta River?" ”
Han Jiang groaned slightly, "Xianggong Xia, it's really hard to say about your late life!" ”
"Zihua, your father is a sincere gentleman, and you are not bad. It's hard to say, but in fact, everything has been said. The old man insisted on returning to the river, also for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, without the natural danger of the Yellow River, how could he stop the 200,000 iron horsemen of the Liao State? The world says that the old man is a traitor, and he doesn't take care of himself, what are they! ”
Han Jiang didn't answer the question, but thought for a long time, opened his mouth several times, Xia Zhu saw it in his eyes, and his face sank.
"Just say anything, the old man doesn't like to spit out."
"Alas, Xia Xianggong, since this is the case, I said it later." Han Jiang said solemnly: "I have looked at the measurement results of the Six Arts Academy, if they are really right, I am afraid that Huihe will not succeed." ”
"So what about what if they're wrong? Why did the court listen to them? ”
Without warning, Xia Zhu suddenly broke out.
"Zihua, haven't you seen it yet? Ouyang Xiu and Yan Shu have a lot of ambitions! What kind of Six Arts School is to put on the skin of running a school, and it is a matter of forming a party. Take this river work as an example, in the past few months, the old man has seen the small actions they have made. What does it mean to flaunt professionalism everywhere and say that they are objective everywhere? The officials of the imperial court eat rice, are they all rice buckets? ”
Xu is too much pressure, Xia Zhu actually lost his temper and spewed out all the anger in his heart!
"The old man can't follow their wishes! Let it go this time, what about the next? They can interfere in the government without impunity, and when the time comes, will the officials rule the world, or will the Six Arts Academy rule the world? He Ouyang Yongshu wants to be the prime minister in white, that is wishful thinking! As long as the old man has three inches of qi, he doesn't want to play this wishful thinking! ”
Xia Zhu took a deep breath, "Zihua, when this period passes, the old man must suggest that Your Majesty close the Six Arts Academy, your Han family has been loyal and good for generations, don't be confused by Ouyang Xiu and his gang." ”
After the outbreak, Xia Zhu seemed to have exhausted his energy, slumped on the chair, covered his head with one hand, and waved with the other, Han Jiang bowed backwards and walked out of the study.
In an instant, Han Jiang's face also sank.
Xia Zhu suddenly became furious, seemingly scolding Ouyang Xiu, but in fact he pointed at their Han family, warning them not to step on two boats, to firmly follow Xia Xianggong, half-heartedly, there is no good end!
Han Jiang smiled bitterly, it was really not easy to eat both sides, so he touched a soft nail at Wang Ning'an, and a hard nail directly from Xia Zhu.
That's it, just let you toss and see what tricks you can play!
Han Jiang stopped for a while, and was about to leave, as soon as he left the city, he heard the beating of gongs and drums, which was earth-shattering and very lively.
"What's going on?"
"Master, it's the Liuta River that has been repaired, and the Shanghu mouth has been closed."
Han Jiang took a breath of cold air, and under curiosity, he didn't rush to leave, but rushed to a high place and looked at Shanghukou. The whole project is not complicated, that is, between the new river channel and the Henglong old road, dig a river channel, that is, the Liuta River. Once the river is dug and the new channel is blocked, the gushing Yellow River water will flow back down the Liuta River.
After more than a year of construction, the huge project was finally completed.
When the Shanghu mouth was plugged and the river returned to its hometown along the Liuta River, everyone cheered, and the people were really happy.
The turbid dragon of the Yellow River has been subdued again, and peace can be enjoyed from now on.
Zheng Xiang smiled, and from then on, he was the first official in the world to govern the river! On the one hand, he was promoted to an official and knighted, and on the other hand, he was 180,000 acres of land, and all the good things in the world fell on his head, and he was so happy that he almost fainted.
Han Jiang, who had witnessed everything, was suddenly very curious, and wanted to know how the arithmetic of the Six Arts Academy was, could this old way really not work?
Han Jiang simply observed, and in the afternoon, a cold wind blew, Han Jiang shivered, the northwest sky seemed to have poured a bowl of ink, and the tumbling black clouds quickly filled the sky, followed by thunder, and the torrential rain was like a pour.
Han Jiang was startled, he didn't even use an umbrella, he rushed directly outside, and watched the pale yellow river water upstream tumbling in, washing the embankments on both sides. The mouth of Shanghu, which had just been blocked, instantly became the weakest link of the embankment, and a large piece of earth fell into the river under the washing of the river.
Han Jiang's heart shrank suddenly, and he quickly found Zheng Xiang, who had drunk a lot of celebration wine in the afternoon and was still asleep.
Han Jiang rushed to his bedroom, "Hurry up, hurry up!" ”
Zheng Xiang was dazed, opened his drunken eyes, and when he saw that it was Han Jiang, he smiled and said: "What's the fuss, isn't the 200,000 mu of land negotiated!" ”
"What kind of field? Something is going to happen! Han Jiang was so anxious that he was sweating, "Hurry up and let your people open the door of Shanghu and vent the flood!" ”
Zheng Xiao shook his head vigorously and said angrily: "Han Zihua, don't be confused, now that the flood is discharged, you and my fields are finished, your Han family doesn't care, I care!" ”
When is it, still thinking about Tian, Han Jiang really wants to strangle him.
When there was no choice but to do so, there was a sudden boom, a shocking bang, Shanghukou broke the embankment again, and the rolling river was like a dragon that got rid of the shackles, and once again ravaged the land of Hebei......
