"Next time!"

The woman was wearing a snow-white samurai suit today, and she looked even more slender and long-legged, and her heroic spirit was compelling, but the expression on her pretty face was too cold, so that people couldn't get close to her mouth and drop these two words, so she rode away, leaving only Chen Ke, who was suffocated to internal injuries: 'What do you mean' next time,? ，

"Official, don't pay attention to her, there are many men who come to our Wazi Lane, but they haven't been arrested by the Hun family yet." The prostitute looked at the bag of silver in Chen Ke's hand, and her eyes lit up.

"Damn, Wazi Lane, half-closed door!" Chen Ke suddenly realized that it was a famous public Fengyue place in the capital, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's open in broad daylight, eldest sister, you're too dedicated." ”

"Officials don't want to look down on the slave family, the slave family is the head of Wazi Lane, the flower name 'White Jade Rabbit' The prostitute proudly straightened her chest and giggled: "Isn't this looking at the tall and mighty official, with a high nose bridge, this is just itching for a while, and temporarily working overtime in broad daylight." ”

"I'm really flattered, and I'll learn the eldest sister's unique skills another day." Chen Ke threw the bag of silver to her casually, and went home depressed with his hands behind his back.

When he returned home, he naturally would not refuse to publicize this trouble. In the evening, when the brothers came back after playing, Chen Ke said that he planned to go with them, and the brothers naturally wanted to go together.

So he lied to Chen Xiliang, saying that they were going to the suburbs of Beijing to play, they were all wild, and Brother Xiaoliang naturally didn't care, just told them to play happily for a few days, so that they could study with their hearts.

Before leaving the next day, Ouyang Fa suddenly arrived and said to Chen Ke that Ouyang Xiu had asked him to come over.

Coming to call himself so early, there must be something urgent, so Chen Ke asked them to wait at home and follow Ouyang Fa to Yinliang Bridge.

When he arrived at the house, Ouyang Xiu pulled him into the study and said, "Yesterday, someone opposed the Liuta River. ”

"Who?"

"The two Heavenly Officials of the Heavenly Prison." Ouyang Xiu looked at him strangely and said, "They said in the recital, 'The country should not cross the river in the north, so that the Holy Communion will be disturbed. ”，

Si Tianjian in the Song Dynasty, although the official was not big and had little power, the power of speaking was not small, because they were responsible for communicating with God. For example, solar eclipses and comets have the right to warn the emperor that this is a villain, or you have lost your morality and other ......, which will be placed in the future generations, of course no one believes it.

But in the imperial era, whether you believe it in your heart or not, you must believe it on the surface. Because the sanctity of the emperor's rule comes from his status as a son of heaven. Of course, the Son of Heaven has to listen to his father, and what his father means is all up to Si Tianguan to interpret.

This time they said that the Liuta River was in the north of Kaifeng, and the emperor sat in the north and faced south, which is equivalent to breaking ground on the emperor's head..."

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

"What's the official's reaction?"

"The official family", alas..."Ouyang Xiu said depressedly: "Let's be honest, since he recovered, the official family has been silent and silent, and this time is naturally no exception." ”

"What about Wen Xianggong?" Chen Ke knew that the biggest supporter of the Liuta River project was Wen Yanbo. Wen Yanbo was suddenly expensive because of the peace in Beizhou, and because of the Shu brocade incident that bribed Zhang Guifei. He knows that his foundation is shallow, and he is making a comeback this time, and he is about to use this merit to sit firmly in the position of prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Wen Xianggong refuted on the spot and said that the Liuta River is in the northeast and west of Bianjing, not due north at all, and even if the two Si Tianguan are not deliberately troublemakers, they are serious and should be beheaded!"

"The two Si Tianguan broke down in a cold sweat at that time, and they didn't expect that Wen Xianggong would be able to catch their loopholes on the spot." Ouyang Xiu continued: "The courtiers also reacted to this matter, and they all denounced the two Si Tianguan for their misdeeds! However, it is not one-sided, and some people also pointed out that the last time the official family had an inexplicable illness, it was just in time for the Yellow River to break in the first year of Jingyou. This time when the Liuta River was dug and repaired, the official family fell ill again, which shows that it is definitely not a coincidence. ”

This is true, in August of the first year of Jingyou, Zhao Zhen, who had just been pro-government and young and strong, suddenly fainted, and he did not know what to do, for several days, and all the imperial doctors could not diagnose the cause, which was very similar to this situation. Almost at the same time, the Yellow River burst at Henglong, and the monstrous flood displaced millions of people and caused great damage, which is still fresh in everyone's memory.

After more than ten years, Zhao Zhen did not get sick until the first day of the first month of this year. Now someone has linked it with the Liuta River, which makes Zhao Zhen frown.

"Yesterday after noon, the official family had a decree to come out, ordering the imperial family, the imperial history, the water minister, and the Si Tianguan to investigate the Liuta River again to determine whether there was any obstruction." Ouyang Xiu sighed and said, "The team should set off tomorrow." ”

"Who is the royal family?" Chen Ke asked.

"Zhao Yunrang, the king of Runan County and the master of Dazong Zhengsi, is also Zhao Zongshi's father...... Ouyang Xiu paused and said: "This is more strange, the king of Runan County is not in good health, this kind of thing out of Beijing is generally served by Zhao Yunbi, the king of Beihai County and the judge of Dazong Zhengsi." ”

"Interesting." Chen Ke chuckled: "This is a chore" ,..."

"Don't forget the intentions of the officials." Ouyang Xiu twisted his beard and said: "This matter is getting more and more complicated, but the old man throws the bracelet instead." ”

"How?"

"The two Si Tianguan are just small minions, and if they dare to make nonsense about national politics, there must be someone behind them." Ouyang Xiu said with a disdainful face: "The one who likes to play this kind of trick the most is Jia Ziming." ”

"Inevitable ......", Chen Ke nodded.

Ziming is the word of Jia Changchao, Jia Changchao belongs to Ouyang Xiu's predecessor, and he is very senior, and he became the prime minister during the Qingli period. However, after the Qingli New Deal began, he was driven out of the court by Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu, and it was at that time that he formed an enmity with the Qingli Party.

Now he is the governor of the semi-famous mansion and the pacification envoy of Hebei Road, the first high-ranking official in the local area, and he is still a minister that the official family relies on very much. The most important thing is that before the 'river enters the Six Towers and is determined, his 'return to the old way' is the most vocal.

If he can use his method and succeed in returning to the river, Jia Changchao will immediately gain enough prestige to regain the throne of Zaizhi. So he hated the Six Towers River plan to the core. This time, the official family was sick, and he finally found a chance to make trouble.

"They already suspected that the old man and Jia Ziming were in the same stream", Ouyang Xiu sighed and said: "San Lang, I won't tell you, this time Jia Ziming and the old man wanted to go together, and I also wanted to use yin and yang to talk about things." At this time, if I go to this book again, I will definitely be regarded as a traitor, but I am afraid that I will add fuel to the fire. "Ouyang Xiu is a virtuous gentleman, at this time, let him go against his political enemies and former allies, and his heart will naturally not be good.

"Teacher..."Chen Ke also sighed and said, "Didn't you teach students to be right about things and not people?" ”

"Not bad." Ouyang Xiu nodded, sighed again, and said: "Compared with the safety of the people in dozens of states and counties, what is the old man's false name?" ”

"Teacher, do you think the odds are good?"

"Not big." Ouyang Xiu said categorically: "When it comes to wisdom, the minister of literature is unparalleled in the world. What's more, Fu Xianggong also supports him, and the two prime ministers work together, so there is basically no suspense. After a pause, he shook his spirits and said, "But these things, we must always do!" If you don't do it, there's no hope at all! ”

"Yes." Chen Ke nodded heavily.

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

Five days later, Chen Ke transferred from Liuta River, and before he had time to wash the dirt on his body, he went to the county king's mansion to find Zhao Zongji.

Zhao Zongji had been looking forward to it for a long time, and the two of them spent a whole day in his study to concoct a thirteen-page notebook.

Finally finished being busy, the two of them breathed a long sigh of relief, but Zhao Zongji smiled bitterly: "The imperial court sent my Uncle Wang to lead a team of more than a dozen people to investigate, and it is estimated that it will be turned back in a few days." I'm afraid that we are not very useful. ”

"......" Chen Ke has thought it through thoroughly in the past few days: "The battle between temples and halls is beyond our control. You and I just have to do our best! He raised his index finger and said: "At the very least, to ensure the safety of the soldiers and civilians on the embankment, it is necessary to advance the people of the prefecture and county, the official family is benevolent, the benevolent person loves people, you grasp this point, you can do it, the merit is immeasurable!" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Zongji nodded, and suddenly heard a knock on the door, and then listened to the maid say, "Childe, the county lord is here." ”

"Oh"..."Zhao Zongji put the chapter away, and said with some surprise: "Why is my sister here?" ”

I saw a palace woman with a face as bright as jade, with a fragrant national color, carrying a food box. appeared in front of the two of them, and saw that Chen Ke was also there, her jade face was slightly flushed, and she was blessed, so she said to her brother: "I just made some snacks and sent them to my brother." ”

"Brother Zhong Fang, this is my sister Xiang'er." Zhao Zongji introduced the two of them: "Xiang'er, this is..., it's the ...... 'take off the shirt"

"That time, I was offended, I hope that the county lord Haihan." Chen Ke naturally knew this woman, wasn't she the little county lord who was kidnapped by himself that time? It's just that I haven't seen each other for three years, and the little county lord has grown into a big county lord, not just growing taller......

"Brother San Lang's righteous act of saving his father, the little sister is very moved, a little misunderstanding, it's nothing", the county lord was blessed with a blessing, and said softly: "Since the brothers have something, the sister will not bother." ”

"Congratulations to the county lord." Seeing her so dignified, Chen Ke also restrained her.

"Brother San Lang is too polite." The county lord is blessed again.

"You're welcome, as it should be." Chen Ke hugged his fists again and said: "Goodbye Jungui......"

"Brother Saburo, goodbye." The county lord is blessed again.

"Although it is not strange to have many people", in the end, Zhao Zongji couldn't stand it, and said: "You don't have to be so polite." ”

"Brother, don't make fun of me"..."The county lord blushed slightly, and then retreated.

After she left, Zhao Zongji immediately opened the food box and said with a smile: "Come and taste my sister's craftsmanship, the pastries she makes are no worse than those time-honored brands." He said softly: "Why are they all double, do you know that I have guests?" ”
