Chapter Ninety-Six: Shen Lun Returns to Beijing

Li Zhong stayed in Yuhang for more than a month, and finally successfully completed the task. However, Shen Xiangye arrived in Yuhang later than him, but returned to the capital earlier than him.

In the afternoon of that day, Shen Xiangye's Qincha team returned to the capital and went straight to the palace to pay the decree.

Of course, the emperor knew that Shen Xiangye would return to Beijing today, and he would have paid off two days earlier. Therefore, he deliberately waited in the side hall. At this time, a little eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, Shen Xiangye is asking to see you outside the palace gate!" ”

said that the current emperor Zhao Jiong, this name has also been changed back and forth, and it has been changed many times. Originally named Zhao Kuangyi, but after Emperor Taizu's yellow robe was added, in order to avoid secrecy, he changed it to Zhao Guangyi. Then after succeeding to the throne, it was changed to the current Zhao Jiong.

The appearance of the official family is very majestic, because it is too majestic, it makes people have no sense of intimacy. "The emperor is not a group, and he is afraid of playing with him." This is the description of him when he was a child in the history books, and he has been like this since he was a child.

When he was a child, he played with other children, and those children were afraid of him, which showed his majestic appearance.

Over time, under this kind of surname, the style of acting seems very mysterious. Generally, if a courtier has any recitals to play, the official will arrange a separate recital.

Perhaps because of this, the people's evaluation of the official family is a little bad. Especially in the case of the candlelight axe shadow, I think that the official family killed Taizu and became the emperor. And this statement is still believed by many people, but it is still a folk rumor.

However, this is an inextricable crime for the officials. Zhao Guangyi was also really depressed, since he followed his brother Emperor Taizu, especially the Chen Qiao Mutiny, he had made great contributions.

At that time, although Taizu had a strong strength, Zhao Guangyi also had his own wings, which could be regarded as two forces, but relatively speaking, Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's power was much stronger, so he became the emperor. Of course, Zhao Guangyi did not complain at all about these things, and still insisted on supporting his brother, and the relationship between the two brothers was very deep.

Besides, after Taizu ascended the throne, it took seventeen years to collapse. Zhao Guangyi has been patiently waiting for the throne for seventeen years, if he really wants to murder Taizu and become the emperor, he can take advantage of Taizu's frequent invitation to Zhao Guangyi into the palace for banquets, seventeen years, it is impossible not to wait for one or two opportunities.

Zhao Dezhao, the son of Song Taizu, was benevolent and generous, cowardly and incompetent, and was unable to govern the world at all, nor was he able to fight with Zhao Guangyi for the world. Zhao Guangyi was holding the position of the founding of the country at that time, and the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and he had the "Golden Kui Alliance" that his mother Empress Dowager Du asked his brother to pass on to him as a backing, and the throne naturally belonged to him.

Therefore, as long as Zhao Guangyi waits for Song Taizu to die naturally, he can inherit the throne smoothly, and he does not need to risk killing his brother and infamy the world.

However, the rumors of the candlelight axe shadow are very eyebrow-raising, and Zhao Guangyi can only pretend not to know about this.

Zhao Guangyi also has a hobby, which is reading. "The surname is a hobby, Xuanzu General Soldier Huainan, Pozhou County, no property is taken, the first to seek the emperor of ancient books, Heng is strong, the emperor is a literary industry, multi-talented." This is a record in the history books, in which the ancestor is Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Kuangyin's father Zhao Hongyin.

Maybe it's because he likes to read, especially because he likes to learn, so he works in literature. There is also "order the states to know astronomy and send several people to His Majesty, and the hidden ones will die." ”

And this matter was just a month after Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, that is, in November of that year, he issued this order, gathering astronomical talents from all over the Great Song Dynasty.

Just because the official family himself is hobby, his sons have also learned some of it. It's just that the current princes are still relatively young and have limited learning. The eldest prince Zhao Yuanzuo is only sixteen years old, but this Zhao Yuanzuo prefers to practice martial arts. This was a blessing for the Great Song Dynasty.

In the current Great Song Dynasty, there are Khitan in the north, and the annexed sixteen states of Youyun have not yet been recovered. And Emperor Taizu and his lifelong dream is to take back the clouds.

There are party members in the west, and they are also preparing to move, especially this year, and they have begun to rebel.

Although most of the south has been pacified, there is still Dali, and Annan has not yet been eliminated.

Therefore, the heirs of the Great Song Dynasty need people with extraordinary martial arts, even if they like these astronomical things, they can only be regarded as hobbies. Therefore, in the hearts of the official family, the favorite prince is still the eldest prince Zhao Yuanzuo.

However, for the second prince Zhao Yuanyou and the third prince Zhao Yuankan, the official family also likes it very much, for no other reason, just studious.

However, in order to let Zhao Yuanzuo sit smoothly in the position of the prince, the official family has hollowed out his mind, because now in the court, Zhao Tingmei, the king of Wei, occupies a very strong force, just like he did back then. He is still there, and he can still be suppressed, once he collapses, the Great Song Dynasty will have the possibility of causing a disaster.

Therefore, as soon as the official family heard about the Jinkui Covenant, they sent the eldest prince Zhao Yuanzuo to go, because such a top-secret matter must not be leaked, of course, Wang Jien just went to sit in town.

Who knows, there is also Zhao Yuankan, the third son of the emperor, who followed him, and the most surprising thing is that it is said that Yuhang Zhixian Fengmanlou is actually proficient in astronomy, so he is very curious.

Especially when I heard Zhao Yuankan say that the blood test is unreliable, and also told the reason, so that the official family, who loves books, also knows that people's blood is divided into blood types.

In addition, the boast of the two young men that they can use the principle of similar triangles to measure their height without cutting down a big tree, and this principle of similar triangles is the first time I have heard of it, and it is very vivid.

Although there were some people who were proficient in mathematics among the talents gathered back then, they couldn't say anything about the triangle principle, and although they knew it, they couldn't name it so appropriately.

Moreover, the two princes also explained in detail what Feng Manlou had done, which made the official family very satisfied. It can be seen that this wind is full of buildings, and he is a very virtuous official. In particular, he not only helped himself recover the contents of the covenant, but also brought back a boatload of gold, silver and jewelry. That's a lot of credit.

However, after thinking about it, the official decided to give a reward. But who knows, at this time, Zhongshu Province said that it is already late autumn, the Yellow River has entered an immediate dry period, and the disaster of Hezhong Mansion has been completed, and it is the time to build the Yellow River embankment, and the official family suddenly thought of Feng Manlou.

According to Zhao Yuankan, didn't Fengmanlou say that a dam would be built that could be used for 20 years? Now the imperial court is building the Yellow River embankment, which is naturally to be able to sit in the town, but some technical things are not very proficient in the court ministers. Those who were recruited into the palace and knew how to do so, although they understood the truth, they had no experience.

The official family thought of Feng Manlou. This allowed Shen Xiangye to solve the fraud case of the Yangzhou prefect and science field while solving the fraud case, and with the help of the holy decree to reward him, by the way, how well the embankment in Yuhang was built.

Therefore, when the official family heard that Shen Xiangye asked to see him, he immediately said happily: "Xuan! ”

After Shen Lun entered the hall, he saw the emperor sitting on the imperial case, bowed his head and said long live.

The official hurriedly said: "No courtesy, Shen Xiang has been running all the way, at such an age, it is really hard to work hard for my Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Just one sentence made Shen Lun excited, and immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is the duty of Weichen." After all, the matter of the Yellow River River is related to the net worth of millions of people in the Central Plains. ”

The official smiled and boasted, "Shen Xiangyan is serious. It's just that I don't know what Shen Xiang has seen and heard along the way, how the people live, and those state officials are quite competent? ”

Shen Lun said: "Emperor Qiqi, what Weichen has seen and heard along the way are all flattering officials, but fortunately, they have done their duty, and the people are still fine." However, there is Yuhang Zhixian Fengmanlou, and Yuhang is well governed! ”

The official was stunned for a moment and asked, "How can I do the law?" ”

Shen Lun summed up the surname and said: "Weichen is in Yuhang, I saw that the business is in order, and I heard that the wind is full of buildings and has cracked down on a lot of lawlessness, so Yuhang's business is very accessible now, and naturally the people live and work in peace and contentment." ”

The official asked, "In that case, how is the embankment being built?" Can Shen Xiang see with his own eyes that he can withstand the flood of 20 years? ”

Speaking of this embankment, Shen Lun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen observed the embankment, and the entire embankment is completely monolithic. Not to mention twenty years, I'm afraid that in another hundred years, it will be able to be used! ”

When the official family heard this, he said: "It is so powerful, it seems that this Fengmanlou is really the candidate for the water supervisor!" ”

Immediately afterwards, Shen Lun introduced the embankment in Yuhang, explaining in detail the process of making it and the effect after it was built. Even from the mouth of the people on the embankment, Feng Manlou personally inspected the quality of the embankment in detail.

Of course, the main mention is definitely the use of cement.

When the official heard this, he said: "I see, since there is such a manufacture, it will be famous for eternity!" It seems that it is time for this water supervisor of mine to take office. ”

When Shen Lun heard this, he said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this is not good. To supervise the repair of the Yellow River embankment, you must have the water supervisor, and the water supervisor is the position of the fourth grade, which is too fast, and it is not a good thing for him! ”

The official smiled and said, "Of course. The flooding of the Yellow River is not something that can be managed well overnight, and now it is Hedong Road and Hebei West Road

, Hebei East Road, Jingxi Road, Jingdong East Road and other places, there is the possibility of flooding. What I mean is to let Feng Manlou govern Hezhong Mansion first! ”

The flood in Hezhong Mansion was a very serious one after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, when it was trapped in the embankment, overflowing into the city, seven bad military camps, and more than 100 residential areas. And that's exactly what happened in July of this year. Fortunately, now that the disaster relief has just passed, there is time to build the embankment and clean up the river.

When Shen Lun heard this, he said, "Emperor Shengming! In fact, Shen Lun was also worried that it would not be beneficial for him for the official family to suddenly promote Feng Manlou to the position of the capital water supervisor. First of all, if there is no real political achievement, it is natural that we cannot convince the public, and if we cannot convince the public, we will not be able to dispatch effectively, and thus make mistakes. Secondly, these are all water supervisors, involving four or five transport envoys, these are all high-ranking officials, how can they be so easy to deal with.

As the saying goes, the higher you climb, the harder you fall. If you take care of such a place, you will inevitably be too busy, and it will be easy to go wrong when the time comes.

This is called killing! However, the official family has also been an official, so he naturally knows how powerful it is, and he has long thought of the front. Besides, whether this wind is full of buildings or not, you have to recall the Jingshi to ask the right question.
