The drunkard's intention is not to drink, Zheng Lang still doesn't understand?

Regardless of whether the imperial examination is important or not, Zhao Shu's move is undermining a series of rituals and laws to maintain feudal rule.

After seeing Zheng Lang's article, more ministers joined the ranks of admonitions, some using the chapters and verses of the Thirteen Classics to advise, and some using history to advise. For the time being, Pu Yi couldn't go on, but Zhao Shu didn't continue and didn't regret it.

The master said that rigidity, perseverance, wood, ne, and benevolence.

It seems that Zhao Shu has it.

No matter how much the minister persuades him, it doesn't work, isn't it rigid?

Since the time of the emperor's heir, he has been making trouble, refusing to resign four times, and after ascending the throne, he has repeatedly gone crazy and not cried, insulting the Empress Dowager Cao, and now Pu Yi, persecuting step by step, isn't it resolute?

Ignoring any other people's ideas, isn't it wooden?

Isn't it okay to get sick or not say a word?

In fact, Zheng Lang hates this point. It's okay to fight for a little reputation for his biological father, why do other crazy things, whether it is unfilial piety to Empress Dowager Cao, or disobedience to Zhao Zhen, or throwing Zhao Zhen's concubines and children out of the palace together before the bones are cold, can this also be forgiven?

If even this has to be explained that Zhao Shu did it right, then I don't know what to think.

It was this series of actions that made Zheng Lang implicitly and implicitly use the name of Confucianism to talk about filial piety and make a move against Zhao Shu, which led to the minister's crazy opposition and admonition, and God also came to retribution.

In August, a very heavy rainstorm suddenly fell on the sky, and it lasted for several days. It has nothing to do with the Yellow River, Zheng Langzhi River, spent an astonishing amount of money, but it did play a great role, not only did the Yellow River not burst its embankment in the past two years, but even the Bianhe River, Jishui to the Huai River, there were few embankment bursting disasters.

The water potential is clear, and the embankment can be saved, but at this time, there is no large water pump, and once the rainstorm continues, waterlogging is inevitable.

This strange rain rained incredibly heavily.

So big that the capital has become a water city, and the streets and alleys have become the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. Many houses collapsed, drowning many people and livestock. The entire capital floats on water, and the Imperial City is no exception. Zhao Shu can't see it well, no matter what happens outside, he can't let the palace be filled with stagnant water everywhere, don't talk about the people's feelings. This is half a person's depth of stagnant water. The palace can fall down immediately, and if you kill the palace people, how much money will it cost to rebuild it?

He called the minister to the Chongzheng Palace.

There were only a dozen people here, all of whom were busy moving. And Zhao Shu made such a fuss, and the ministers didn't have much thought.

Zhao Shu asked, "Zhuqing, what should I do?" ”

Wen Yanbo frowned.

From one small clue one can see what is coming.

During the Zhao Zhen Dynasty, there was also a serious waterlogging, which was not as urgent as this time, and the waterlogging was not as high as this time, but it was longer. However, that time, Zhao Zhen discussed every edict. Who didn't come? The hearts of the people are scattered.

But nothing was said, he was the real one who did not insert and did not object.

At this time, I saw that everyone's level of precision in water conservancy was originally a chance, if Cheng Shimeng had not been decentralized, there would have been no tragedy below. Cheng Shimeng was decentralized, and it seemed that Ouyang Xiu was proficient in water conservancy. That's what outsiders say. Actually, no, Zheng Lang finally asked Ouyang Xiu to finish the river work, mainly because he was afraid that Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu would ignore the overall situation and spoil the river work. Zheng Lang did a nanny-style service, and all the plans were listed in great detail, even down to each small canal. Coupled with the supervisors of good officials such as Cheng Shimeng and Zhou Xin, Ouyang Xiu wasted and delayed time when he finished the show. There were no accidents. But it was the nanny-style service that caused Ouyang Xiu to lose a chance to grind. Even if he presided over the river crossing work, Ouyang Xiu was actually not very proficient in water conservancy.

What to do?

Everyone did not speak together.

Zhao Shu said a common sense word. First open the Xihua Gate and release the water in the palace.

There are four large rivers in Bianliang City, the northernmost is the Wuzhang River, which goes out of Tokyo City and joins the Jinshui River Bianshui, and goes downstream until Shuibo Liangshan. Next is the Jinshui River, the original Jinshui River does not pass through the city of Tokyo, directly into the Wuzhang River and Bianshui, but later generations will introduce it to the capital, directly to the northwest of Ouchi, into Ouchi, used to wash or irrigate Ouchi flowers and trees. In the south of the city is Bianshui, and in the middle is the famous state bridge. Further south is the south gate of the inner city, Suzaku Gate, and then the Royal Street, between the Suzaku Gate and Taixue is the inverted U-shaped Cai Shui.

This topography determines two factors, the development of water transportation, and the development of water transportation means the development of commerce. Vulnerable to flooding and waterlogging.

Before Bianliang was the capital, it was a developed commercial city in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and in order to avoid disasters, the state government was located on the high ground of Bianliang City. It won't be much higher, and the terrain of the whole capital is flat, so it can only be said that it is a little higher.

Although the Later Liang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou established their capitals, they were not overhauled, but they only repaired the state yahastily, even if it was the imperial palace. It was not until the Song Dynasty ruled the capital that it was gradually improved. It was still built with the state government as the center, so although the imperial city of the Song Dynasty was absolutely on the central axis, it went a little further north.

There are more than a dozen imperial gates in the inner hall, but the Xihua Gate is the lowest, as long as the Xihua Gate is opened, theoretically the water in the inner can be drained together.

Because none of them understood, none of the more than a dozen ministers objected.

The sky and the earth are big, and the imperial city is the largest.

With an order, Xihua Gate released water.

This release is not the same thing, the water goes low, and rushes to the Xihua Gate together. It was planned, but the water was not.

The first is the area, the imperial city of the Song Dynasty is not as big as the Forbidden City, but it is not small, including the harem, as well as the divisions, the circumference of the Forbidden City is seven miles, the circumference of the imperial city of the Song Dynasty is also five miles, and the area is close to 1,000 acres. It doesn't matter if it's a thousand acres of stagnant water. There are others, some small artificial lakes, it doesn't matter. There is also a deadly source of water, the Jinshui River.

The Jinshui River leading to Ouchi is a separate lead, belonging to a tributary, the steep gate is not in the imperial city, and it is impossible to be in the imperial city, how inelegant it is. It was in the northwest direction, and if the Jinshui River had swelled, the steep gate would have been closed, and now it was closed. There is no steep gate throttling in this section of the southeast city of Guanjian.

The Xihua Gate opened, and the water in the palace rushed towards the Xihua Gate, including the section of the Jinshui River in the city. Due to the topography, the middle is high and the surrounding is low, and if the Jinshui River wants to drain away, it must go around the east side to the south side and rush into the Xihua Gate.

There was a place to go, and it was flowing cheerfully, the water was agitated, and the huge waves emptied, and swept all the way, and even the guard barracks on the east side of Ouchi were washed away. Drowned a large number of guards and horses...... Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, a large number of guards and war horses have been buried in the palace, has there ever been?

The palace was drained of water, but everywhere there were ruins, and the dead bodies of men and horses. Junchen was even more dumbfounded.

Let's help the disaster.

Not only to save the people of the city. also to save the palace, entrust Yang Zuo, the deputy envoy of salt and iron, and Zhang Mao, the deputy envoy of the inner guard, to repair the northwest class house, and Li Suzhi, the deputy envoy of the Quandu branch, and Shi Quanbin, the envoy of Jingfu Palace, to repair the east class house. He also asked eight ministers and ambassadors to supervise the work, and the deputy commander of the palace, Hao Zhen, and the deputy commander of the infantry army, made Song Shouyue raise the construction of barracks, not only to supervise the work of the palace, but also to supervise the work in the city, and many houses also fell in the city. Yu Bu Lang came to order Sun and other eight ministers to give money to the soldiers and civilians for the death and bury their ownerless.

The number of drowning forbidden soldiers and civilians alone amounted to 1,588, and even more without names and surnames.

It doesn't matter to the people. Guan Jian actually drowned hundreds of forbidden soldiers in the palace.

The main thing is not to understand water conservancy, if you understand, first release water from a few high doors, wait for the water in the palace to be a little smaller, and then open the Xihua Gate, the water potential will not be so intense. This kind of tragedy will not happen.

But even if it happened, Zhao Shu didn't understand.

Looking at the history books, it is still the first time in the Song Dynasty, and he knows in his heart that these things are really not very authentic.

I was scared, and I gave an edict to sin, but it rained heavily. The room is injured, the drowning is numerous, and the crops of the field are harmful to autumn. Cataclysm. If you have not made a false hair, how can you not be sensitive to morality, but not in politics? Will the world be imprisoned and unjust, endowed with hardship, and the people will sigh and be bored, and they will be obedient? Otherwise, what is the precept of the heavens? Chinese and foreign ministers also promised to seal the matter, saying that the current politics and the interests of the world are lost, and those who can support the Yuan Yuan will be carefully presented, and there is nothing to hide. The ruling ministers are all in the hands of me, and their co-ordination is not enough.

The officials of the two systems first drafted an edict, saying that it was the ruling minister who was thinking about the change.

Why did this happen, it was you who brought about it in collusion with a few prime ministers.

Zhao Shu saw that he couldn't write, and if he did, he might not even be able to protect a few prime ministers, so he said: "Lewd rain is a disaster, and I am dedicated to avoiding immorality." ”

Wang Qi softened and changed to the humerus of the ruling ministers, and his co-virtue was handed over to repair, and he could not be assisted.

Han Qi escaped.

A heavy rain "proved" many things.

Lu Dafang said, why there is this big flood, eight reasons, the lord's grace is not established, the minister's power is too strong, heresy interferes in the government, private favor harms the public, the northwest conspires, thieves act arbitrarily, the ministers are derelict in their duties, and the punishment is unequal. Not only is the Puyi dispute, the country is already in chaos, the king's law is unfair, there are border troubles, and the people are not at peace, the main reason is that the emperor did not do a good job, and those powerful ministers are treacherous and evil and control too much power in violation of the law.

Sima Guang said more pertinently, three, disrespectful to the Queen Mother (you are a fool), not to investigate the power of the two governments, and not to listen to Taiwan's kind words.

Jia Dian put it bluntly, the second and third consuls built two unifications, so the gods of the seven temples were angry, and the rain rained in the sky, killing the people. Seeing that Zhao Shu didn't listen, he happened to be sick, so he begged to go, this illness was serious, and he also left hundreds of words before he died, so that Zhao Shu had already thought that Zhao Yunrang was the king of Pu, not an imperial examination, in order to calm the hearts of the subjects of the world.

Lu Zhi said that the "Five Elements Chronicles" said: Jianzong Temple, abolish sacrifices, and the water does not moisten. It is the matter of King Pu Anyi, the beginning of the discussion or will be compared with the Renmiao, and the final posthumous seal, not as good as the example of the King of Yan, the etiquette is lost and the filial piety is insufficient, it is almost slow. The reason why there is this flood disaster is that Pu Yi has passed, and God is punishing.

Zhao Shu was suspicious and didn't dare to say anything.

After the flood, it was peaceful for the time being, and Zhao Shu did not secretly instruct Han Qi to mention the case of the imperial examination, but it was not decided that Zhao Yun would stop awarding a posthumous gift to the king.

Han Jiang made a decent admonition, not only the flood, but also the country's finances. The use of troops in the West, coupled with this flood, has gradually tightened the finances, Your Majesty, you should call someone back.

Less than two months after the establishment of the Charity Association, the flood came, and the performance was perfect, raising more than 2 million before and after, which was used on the victims in a timely manner, benefiting tens of thousands of households, and also relieving part of the financial pressure of the imperial court in time.

But it is still not enough, two million dollars on the disaster victims, it is true that many disaster victims have been freed, but on one country, it is considered that one.

In the face of the catastrophe, Zhao Shu actually listened to Han Jiang's words.

But at this time, Sima Guang was silent, and occasionally exchanged letters with Zheng Lang, Zheng Lang wrote unclearly, but said a word, the Yellow River did not burst several times, and the imperial court would not have the courage to carry out such a large river work. Without Nong Zhigao, the imperial court would not allow itself to go south. Sima Guang understood. If it doesn't rot to a certain point, it will make the upper and lower levels feel huge pressure, and Zheng Lang will not go out of the mountain.

The edict was issued, Zheng Lang would not come out at all, and Ding Wei refused.

After a month, the flood passed. Zhao Shu gradually forgot again.

Late September. Cai Kang, who was in the same court of knowledge, was overly respectful of Zhao Yunrang, pointing out that Chen was cut to the ground, and Zhao Shu also cried. Cai Kang thought that Zhao Shu was about to repent, and he used the great water of the capital to push the fault of the former minister, and the palace said that it was right, so the edict was changed to the knowledge system and sentenced the national eunuch and dismissed the post.

October. With Sima Guang and Lu Gong as the attendants, it was not for Zhao Xuan to read, but for Zhao Shu. After Sima Guang received the edict, he was stunned at first, and suddenly realized for a while, and immediately wrote: "The minister has been in office for five years. Those who have never been so long before, but seek knowledge and serve the country with all their might, so they have many enemies with others, and they can meet everywhere they touch within the four seas, and they are often afraid that they will have no place for their children and grandchildren in the future. However, he didn't dare to ask for no reason, and he didn't expect that the imperial court would be more rewarded, and he would still be in the old position. If you are favored, there will be no time for you to die, and you will be punished for your crimes, and you will be inevitable. May the mourning be granted. Collect and return the new life, Xu Chen will be in charge of Hezhong Mansion, or Xiangyu Jin Qi Prefecture (these five state mansions are just lacking). ”

The edict was not allowed, but Sima Guang was dismissed from his post.

Fan Chunren was shocked, and privately found Sima Guang and said, "Brother Junshi, this is the time when the Great Dao is dying, why did you leave the Academy?" ”

Sima Guang sighed and said: "It's not that I don't want to admonish, it's not that I don't want to maintain the national system, etiquette, Yaofu, think about it, I'm not even afraid of God, can I still say it well?" ”

Fan Chunren first opened his mouth, and then he was at a loss.

Sima Guang said again: "Did you write to Zheng Gong?" ”

"Didn't write much."

"Your family ......" Sima Guang couldn't continue, and took the initiative to ask to step down, because he had selfish intentions. can persuade Zhao Shu, he still wants to persuade him. However, in the face of such a big natural disaster, only a month has passed, and Zhao Shu is making small ideas again, can he still persuade him? It is an exaggeration to say that the punishment of disaster and crime is exaggerated, but if you continue to stay and become a thorn in the side of some people, you will definitely not end well. Facing Fan's side, Sima Guang felt ashamed, changed his tone and said, "Write a letter and ask Zheng Gong." He'll give you the answer. ”

This is the sixth junior brother, otherwise Sima Guang would not have bothered to explain at all.

Each has its own ideas, Zeng Gongliang also felt that it was not good to toss like Han Qi, so he marched into the court, first to the privy envoy and servant, in the Pingzhang Shi, Jixian Hall scholars, now Wen Yan is Bozhi, and the order of the begging class is like a story.

wants to use Wen Yanbo to divide Han Qi's power.

From then on, Wen Yanbo is also in front of Han Qi's class, but Wen Yanbo is very smart, standing in front of the class, but he doesn't say a word, Han Qi is right or wrong, it has nothing to do with us. We don't participate, but don't expect me to go against Han Qi.

The New Year is approaching, and the Song Dynasty and the Liao State want to send envoys to congratulate each other on New Year's Day. The Song Dynasty sent more envoys this time, a total of three people, one was Fu Yaoyu of the Imperial Academy, and the other two were Zhao Ding and Zhao Zhan. After the edict, the three of them had to prepare to go, Lu Zhi was anxious, and said that the ears and eyes of the people who admonished the Taiwan admonition, and all Chinese and foreign affairs were heard. Between the ministers and horses and the saints, there are often twenty members of the imperial history of the three courts, and then the benefits are declining, because the rulers do not want the lord to hear about the loss of China and foreign countries, but there are no less than a dozen people.

This is only the Imperial Observatory, not including the Imperial Academy.

The institutions of the Imperial Historical Observatory not only include the ministers of the Imperial Observatory, but also the officials of the procuratorate, the main book, the straightening, the Guan Gou, the Lingshi, and the Zhiban, the latter of which has no right to speak and is only the deputy subordinate official of the Imperial Historical Observatory. The one who really has the right to speak is a royal historian, a servant of the imperial history, two palace attendants of the imperial history, and six supervising the imperial history, these ten ministers are the most basic and indispensable. In addition to these ten ministers, there are also temporary ministers, called the line, the exercise in the imperial history, the exercise in the palace, and the exercise in the supervision, more than a dozen people, and only a few people.

The more than 20 people Lu Zhi said included more than a dozen Li Xing. Since the death of Zhang Guifei, Zhao Zhen has been a little tired of politics, and even more tired of politics after a serious illness, for example, the eunuchs in Qingli never dared to criticize political affairs, and after Zhang Guifei's death, the eunuchs could.

If it weren't for the influence brought by Zheng Lang, the number in the later period was quite medium, and Pang Ji did the best, and soon because of the law that you must offend people when you do things, Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi in the later period, and then Han Qi, one was worse than the other. In comparison, it is not as good as Jia Changchao and Liu Xin or Chen Zhizhong. The poverty and weakness of the Song Dynasty began to accumulate gradually from Wen Yanbo's second phase, and Han Qi and Zhao Shu pushed it to the peak.

Zheng Lang forcibly recommended Pang Ji, so that the situation improved slightly, and what changed was only the economy, Yanchen did not change, and the prime ministers did not want to listen to Yanchen's wordiness, and there were fewer and fewer of them. Of course, the responsibility cannot be pushed to Fubi Han Qi together, mainly because of the emperor's inaction, including Zhao Zhen's unwillingness to act in his later years.

But no matter what you say, if you don't mention the Imperial Court, even the Imperial Historical Observatory will retain ten famous ministers, which is the bottom line.

However, now there are only five Yushi Tai Yanchen, and just these five people, two of them are on a business trip. It's not right on the side of the Counselor's Yuan, it turns out that in addition to the Governor's Yuan, there are other officials. In Tianxi, there are six counselors on the left and right, a doctor on the left and right, and a counselor on the left and right. Soon there was a shortage and there was no place, and Tian'e set up another six people in the prefect, with the advice doctor, the secretary and the righteous speech, and the other officials were called the prefect, that is to say, there must be at least six or more people.

Now, it has become two people, just these two people, Sima Guangqian took his post, and the remaining living treasure Fu Yaoyu actually let him go on a business trip to Khitan. The number of people is wrong, let's talk about the chapter, although the original seal can't be reported on ten or ten, at least five or six, and now the seal is ten, and eight or nine are reported. Since ancient times, the road has been congested, not as much as it is now, and the ministers are ashamed of the holy pilgrimage!

In the book, it was reported.

Don't you want to speak of the minister, give you a speech minister, Shao Biquan knows the court.

Lu Yu was dumbfounded.

It can't be said that Shao Bi is a bad person, but he is the person on that side, just look at the resume. After the collapse of Zhao Zhen, he was elected as Yingwangfu Yishan. This also doesn't prove anything, for example, Han Wei. Guan Jian is behind, in the main hall of the group, Zhao Shu visited the world, Shao must be right, Zhao Shu praised, the bachelor is really a national weapon. So let him and Ouyang Xiu's fellow practitioners live together. He and Ouyang Xiu are friends with each other, is it not clear that such a minister has arrived in the Imperial Court?

One is not enough, and another one, in order to serve the Tianzhang Pavilion in the matter, Peng Siyongquan's imperial history cannot prove that he has anything to do with Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu. But in the Pu Yi case before, this person has been silent, God knows if he has any untreacherous relationship with the two?

Shao Bi didn't misunderstand, he really misunderstood Peng Siyong. At that time, the grief and indignation in the hearts of the three ministers of Lu Xu, Lu Dafang and Fan Chunren could not be expressed. The New Year's Day is here, the three of them can't bear it, Fan Chunren listened to the sound of firecrackers outside in a daze, and thought of Sima Guang's words, even God is not afraid, what else can be done? However, he has Fan Zhongyan's temperament to some extent, and God is not afraid, but we must fulfill our duties as ministers.

A year before Zhao Shulin's death, the darkest moment finally came to the world.
