It is inevitable that Empress Dowager Liang will not be convinced, maybe before this, she was still a little hesitant in her heart, thinking that after changing back to Liang Yi's burial, she might really consider a truce. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, the successive wars were also a huge drain on Western Xia, and the situation was not optimistic. However, Suizhou suffered a dark loss, and Zhe Wenxin was rescued, which made the peace talks suddenly a little passive. The most important thing is that she was taken advantage of, this kind of thing is naturally unspeakable, but she is extremely angry in her heart, and it seems a little unreasonable to just count it.

Since you have come to Suizhou, let's make a good plan. Victory is naturally the best, you can fight for more benefits, save some face, and don't worry if you lose. Anyway, the result won't be worse, no matter what Lin Zhao does, Song Ting hopes for peace talks, and that's enough. Let Lin Zhao make trouble, the officials of Bianjing in the Song Dynasty will help him, so he is not worried.

Tuoba Shi is stable, and he is planning on his side, at least he should teach Lin Zhao a lesson, Empress Dowager Liang has already begun to plan in her heart. She is not a peaceful woman after all, and things will naturally not be easy to give up.

Where is the breakthrough point? And that "rumor" I don't know if it has been transmitted to Bianjing City?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In May, it was already summer in Bianjing, the weather was a little hot, and the worst thing was that this year it was a sunny day since the beginning of dusk, and there was not a drop of rain at all.

In particular, the situation is most serious along the Yellow River and Hebei Road, although the cultivation is as usual, but the growth of grass seedlings will undoubtedly be affected, and the harvest in the north this autumn is really worrying. And that's not even the most important thing, the summer drought is chun. What will autumn be like?

It is not uncommon for drought to be followed by floods. Floods weren't meant to be terrible. But once the Yellow River floods, it will be terrible. You must know that Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, is on the edge of the Yellow River. As long as the Yellow River overflows, it will directly threaten the safety of the dynasty and affect tens of millions of people.

I have to say that the Northern Song Dynasty's choice of Bianjing as the capital was indeed a bit of a mistake. The surrounding plains are undefendable, and from the point of view of military defense, they are not suitable as a capital city at all. Then there is this flood, the Yellow River is on the one hand, and there are many rivers and canals such as Bianjing. It is also a great threat to Bianjing.

The only advantage may be the convenience of luck, but if one of the two offsets, there seems to be no advantage. At the beginning, Taizu Zhao Kuangyin once intended to move the capital to Luoyang, as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, how could Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, who was all in Bianjing, be willing? Later, the candle shadow shook red, and Taizu's death was unknown. After Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, no one mentioned the matter of moving the capital again. Moreover, how easy was it to move the capital in ancient society? It is easy and untouchable.

As a result, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty remained in Bianjing, and was always threatened by the flooding of the Yellow River. From the past to the future, there has always been a threat from the north and the outside. The disaster of the country was doomed from the beginning. But that's the original history, in this plane. Because of Lin Zhao's arrival, things may change......

At present, for the Great Song Dynasty, there is no military disaster, and the biggest threat is still the flood......

A few years ago, the floods of the Yellow River caused the embankment to burst, and it was eventually diverted to Hebei, and the estuary was changed to the border with the Liao State. The land of Hebei is flooded, and the originally rich land can now be said to be a thousand miles of red land, and many places have become swamps, which cannot be cultivated at all. The displacement of the people can be described as miserable, not only did not have enough output, but also became a heavy burden for the Great Song Dynasty.

The land of Hebei has been in chaos in recent years, if it weren't for the tough wrists, the highly respected Han Qi served as the Hebei Road Xuanfu envoy to preside over the overall situation, I am afraid that it would have been chaotic long ago.

If it was just like that, because of the loss of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, the land of Hebei was particularly important to the national defense of the Great Song Dynasty. Without Yanshan as a barrier, it can only rely on the land of Hebei, and the natural and expanded Tangbo to block the Liaoguo Iron Horse, but after the Yellow River was diverted, a large amount of sediment was carried, which made the Tangbo River channel that the Song army worked hard to dig silted up, and its function was gradually lost.

From people's livelihood to national defense, the Yellow River, the mother river, seemed to pose too many threats to the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, once the Yellow River floods, it will be a very serious problem for the Great Song Dynasty, and the danger is self-evident. Floods have become the number one natural disaster in the Great Song Dynasty, so when abnormal weather occurs, it is naturally particularly important.

Among them, the role and task of Si Tianjian are naturally much heavier, when will the drought be alleviated? What weather will it be after summer and autumn? Whether there will be continuous rain or not, these need to be observed by Si Tianjian.

Si Tianjian Zheng'an Chongning has undoubtedly become a busy person recently, he has just selected a feng shui crypt for the three princes, and he has begun to worry about the weather again. Especially the weather is not what he is good at, which is undoubtedly even more difficult, it can be said that he is busy and anxious, and he must not slack off. As a result, the matter about Ziwei's weakness that night and the guest star's offense were directly forgotten, and he never mentioned it to anyone again.

So, naturally, no one noticed that the little star in the sky was accumulating strength. When it officially debuts in the sky one day, it will inevitably shine brightly, even directly overshadowing the light of the purple microstar. On that day, it will be amazing, and the world will shake......

The weather is abnormal, and it's definitely not just Si Tianjian who is busy. The household department and the ministry of industry in the central government are also closely related, one is in charge of the payment of money and grain taxes, and the other is worried about strengthening the Yellow River. Further up, the emperor and the prime minister are also not idle, Zhao Ji may still be immersed in the grief of the death of his third son, and has not yet taken these things into account, but Wang Anshi has to be busy worriedly, and it is always good to be prepared. Zeng Gongliang has been much more low-key since he proved his identity as prime minister last time, and now because of his age, he has the idea of being a minister, so the prime ministers are currently dominated by Wang Anshi

Wang Anshi was so busy that he couldn't even settle down with his son Wang Yan. Wang Yan's first thought was not how much damage the drought or possible flood would bring to the people and how much damage it would cause to the imperial court, but the impact of a possible natural disaster on the status of his father Wang Anshi and their royal family.

In the first year of Xining, Wang Anshi entered the court, and the following year he was supported by Emperor Zhao Ji to start implementing the law change, and now it is the fourth year of Xining. The third year of the change. Originally, Wang Yan was also full of confidence. I am full of expectations for my father's change. But as time went by, Wang Yan began to waver a little.

In three years, the reform of the law did not have much effect, and he had to doubt his father's ideas and his own judgment. Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and this is a truth that is not easy to come by. The Qingmiao Law did not have the expected effect, and was met with a lot of resistance, and after it was reluctantly implemented, the taxes of the imperial court increased to a certain extent. However, it is said that the response of the people was very poor, and the common people suffered a lot because of it.

Especially when Lin Zhao, their protégé of the "descendants", opposed the Qingmiao Law, which made Wang Anshi lose face. Thinking of Lin Zhao, Wang Yan was extremely angry for no reason......

The evaluation of the success of a reform is definitely not based on whether it can increase fiscal revenue, but also on the issue of people's livelihood. Especially in ancient societies, water can carry a boat or overturn a boat, and the lesson that the people are the most important and the king is lighter can be in the ears. If the voices of civil opposition rise higher and higher, what is the point of changing the law? Can it be continued? Then the father's phase is in jeopardy.

In particular, there are no paternal allies in the DPRK and China, and most of the officials are conservative and oppose the change of the law. In this case. Wang Anshi can be said to be isolated, relying solely on the support of the emperor. The position of prime minister is not very secure. If someone blames his father for the misery of the people's lives, the consequences will undoubtedly be even more unfavorable.

But if it's just like that, it can still be supported, and sometimes the emperor's favor and trust are very important. A few impeachments will not work, and the young emperor may not believe that his country is no longer in danger. I have to say that Wang Yan is sometimes too conceited, some things do not happen today does not mean that they will not happen in the future, when the picture is sent to the emperor a few years later, Wang Anshi's resignation is not far away, but the time has not yet come.

Now the conceited Prime Minister Son naturally didn't expect this, but he also had his own worries. His concern is natural disasters, and in ancient times, he paid attention to the induction of heaven and man, such as droughts, floods, earthquakes and even fires, which would be interconnected with the world, especially the court. The corresponding characters are naturally the emperor, the crown prince, the prime minister, and other related characters.

There are many such examples in history, during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, Wan Guifei once instigated the emperor to change the crown prince. Originally, the position of the crown prince Zhu Youzhu was in jeopardy, if he made a mistake, the future Ming Dynasty would lose the Hongzhi Zhongxing that lasted for 18 years. Coincidentally, it happened at this time, and there was an earthquake in Dongyue Taishan.

There is a connection between Dongyue and the East Palace, so Emperor Chenghua thought that it was a sign from heaven, so he naturally did not dare to consider the matter of replacing the crown prince. Often disasters occur, when the emperor didu will make some moves, either to change the year after the year, or to change the prime minister.

Attention, change the Prime Minister!

In the era of the ancient imperial system, although the prime minister was a very high existence, many times it was indispensable to help the emperor be blackened, perhaps this is also the reason why Jian Chen is redundant and faint!

It is an indisputable fact that although the emperor is supreme in power. But after all, he is the Son of Heaven, the Son of God, so he naturally has to fear God. Therefore, in this period when the effect of the change is average, the people's lives are difficult, and the opposition of hundreds of officials is continuous, if there is any change in the celestial phenomena, someone will catch it and attack Wang Anshi, even Zhao Ji can't protect it.

There is such a precedent in the Great Song Dynasty, during the reign of Renzong, there was heavy rain in Bianjing, and there was a lot of water, so some people implicated Di Qing in this flood, which eventually led to Di Qing's privy envoy not being able to continue. Although it is all artificially forceful rhetoric and nonsense, what the court is most afraid of is the famous nonsense of such divisions.

In the past, Wang Yan was very conceited and rarely put people in his eyes, so it can be said that his eyes are above the top. If it had been in the past, he would definitely not have thought about these things, and he would not have cared at all. But after many competitions with Lin Zhao, his conceit and narrow self-esteem have been worn out little by little, and it is better to be a ri.

But it was precisely because of this that he had a vague sense of urgency. The hot and rainy weather suddenly made him feel that his father's phase did not seem to be so stable.

Alas! Thinking of this, Wang Yan couldn't help but think of Lin Zhao again. If it is only a matter of changing the law, then at best it will be a difference of political opinion, and the accusations and attacks of other officials will be easy to deal with. But the last time Li Fugui's incident was a huge blow to Wang Anshi's reputation.

Although the matter has been settled, many people still say that Wang Anshi actually knew about it and deliberately shielded Li Fugui. (In fact, he wronged the king) Therefore, some people questioned Wang Anshi's character, as a minister of Zaifu, it is self-evident how important his character is. At that time, Ouyang Xiu's daughter-in-law was widowed at home, and there were rumors of picking up ashes, and his reputation was damaged, and Ouyang Xiu even resigned because of this. In an era of sharp rhetoric like the Song Dynasty, the slightest moral flaw could ruin a person's temple future.

Fortunately, with Zhao Ji's full protection, the matter came to an end. But it is precisely because of this time that Emperor Zhao Ji has begun to have opinions about their father and son, which makes a slight crack in the relationship between the monarch and the minister. The embankment of thousands of miles collapsed in the anthill, and Wang Yan naturally understood this truth.

All this is related to Wang Anshi's conceit and stubbornness, and also related to his Wang Yan's self-pretending cleverness, in the final analysis, they are to blame. But Wang Yan didn't seem to be eating the bitter fruit of himself, but blamed Lin Zhao for all this.

Thinking of all the past, Wang Yan felt a deep anger, or more precisely, jealousy. Lin Zhao robbed him of his name as the number one young talent, robbed him of the number one beauty in Bianjing (although he never had one), and threatened the status of their father and son...... It can be said that there is a deep gap between each other, so naturally they can't give up.

But although they planned very well last time, when Lin Zhao was about to fall to the ground, the turnaround happened again. In the end, they didn't eat mutton but provoked a lot of sao, but Lin Zhao got a lot of benefits because of this. not only hugged the beauty, but also made the earl...... The most inexplicable thing is that he has a relationship with the Empress Dowager and the Cao family, and his status has directly risen several steps, and now Lin Zhao is completely different from what it used to be......

Although he is only a small earl and a squire of the military department, his reputation and style are not small, and he has already robbed them of the scenery of the prime minister's house.

It must not be just forgotten, Wang Yan has a very strong sense of revenge in his heart, which is exactly the same as that of Empress Dowager Liang. It's just that Lin Zhao is now in the northwest, not in Bianjing, even if he has ideas, he can't reach them!

But many times, things are so coincidental, when you want to doze off, someone just right to send a pillow! Just when Wang Yan was bored, jealous and vindictive was strong, an invitation was sent to Wang Anshi's mansion! (To be continued......)
