There are three main types of post delivery in the Northern Song Dynasty, one is step delivery, which is used for the transmission of general documents, relay walking transmission, and at the same time undertake the transportation of heavy official goods, the degree is very slow, and the daily travel of 100 miles is already the limit; The second is horse delivery, which is used to transmit emergency documents, generally does not transmit official goods, and is faster, but because most of the horses that bear this transmission task are the old and weak horses selected by the army, its efficiency is only two hundred miles a day; The last one is called urgent foot delivery, which belongs to the form of fast transmission, which travels 400 times a day, and is dedicated to delivering major news such as emergency military information and famine.

Urgent foot delivery was used in the Zhenzong period, the exhibition is very fast, and now all over the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, there is a urgent foot delivery station every fifty miles between the official road cities.

Zhao Lei finished writing the fold in the study, called the post post post, handed over the fold with the names of Zhao Lei and Yang Wenguang to the post post, and asked him to send it to the post post post and let the anxious foot deliver the horse to Bianjing and submit it to the official's house.

"Are you sure there will be a flood in the Daimyo Mansion next month?" Watching Yi Cheng leave respectfully, Yang Jinhua still asked Zhao Lei with a suspicious look.

"Sure! Miss Jinhua, you've asked a few times. Zhao Lei heard Yang Jinhua's question, and replied impatiently and helplessly.

……

Although the Weishui ferry port is the smoothest and narrowest place in Weishui, it is also 300 meters wide, and there is not much ferry in Weishui, so Zhao Lei and his party let the ferry boats go back and forth five times before sending them all to the north bank of Weishui.

Early morning. The slanting wind and drizzle for many days have completely stopped today, and the sun is lazily hanging in the sky, illuminating the official road that is still muddy and slippery.

"The weather is so nice today! Will there really be a flood in a month? This time, it was Xiao Ruoruo's turn to question Zhao Lei's inference.

"Definitely, well, don't talk about these things. The fold has already been handed in, regret is useless, let's hurry to Gyeongju and take office as soon as possible to hand over the letter! Zhao Lei smiled confidently and said to Xiao Ruoruo, sat down on the war horse, and galloped forward.

Zhao Lei and his entourage rode a hundred times, rested when they met a post station, and hit a sharp point when they met an inn, and it took them a few days to reach Gyeongju, when they had not yet arrived in Gyeongju. The hurried foot delivery has already sent Zhao Leidi from Xijing to Bianjing.

……

Xijing Jingzhao Mansion is only a thousand miles away from Tokyo Bianliang, and it is urgent to send from Xijing to Bianjing, fast horses, day and night, but three days. It will arrive at Bianjing City.

Hurriedly handed over to Bianjing at night again, because this time it was not an emergency military situation, there was no need to report to the military department first, but it was handed over to Taichang Temple, and the book was handed over to Taichang Temple.

Bianjing Prime Minister Lu Fu. Lu Yijian, who squeezed Zhao Lei, Fan Zhongyan and others out of Bianjing, has been in a particularly comfortable mood recently, which is the provocation of another prime minister, Li Di. It can't bring the slightest anger to Lu Yijian.

The night is like water, and Lu Yijian, who is old and strong, is in bed, pampering his newly married young and beautiful concubine, and on her young delicate body, she is venting the ** who came because she was in a good mood.

Just when Lu Yijian was working the concubine, the voice of his eldest son, Lu Gongxuan, came from outside the bedroom.

"Father! News came from Taichang Temple that Zhao Lei used his hurried feet to hand over an urgent letter to the official family, and the report had been submitted. The officials of the book await the decision of my father. Lu Gongxuan said respectfully and loudly outside the bedroom.

What the! Zhao Lei made an urgent turn, this guy has been demoted out of Bianjing, what the hell do you want to do! Thinking of this, Lu Yijian vented a thousand miles, and no longer had the idea of stealing incense and jade, hurriedly put on his clothes, ignored the resentful gaze of the concubine under him, and rushed to the imperial city of Zhongshu Province with his eldest son Lu Gongxuan.

……

In the Imperial City Zhongshu Province, Lu Yijian had already obtained the letter from the Zhongshu official that Zhao Lei urgently sent to Bianjing.

"Take a look, Zhao Lei has already left Beijing, what tricks do you want to play?" Lu Yijian took Zhao Lei's recital and looked at it carefully.

Lu Yijian read the recital carefully, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Father! What's wrong? What did Zhao Lei say in his fold that made his father so happy? Lu Gongxuan looked at Lu Yijian's happy smile and asked curiously.

"Haha! laughed to death the official, Zhao Lei, Zhao Lei actually said that he would observe the heavens, and predicted that there would be a huge flood in the Daimyo's Mansion in a month, and he was ready to tell the official, you said it was funny, isn't it funny! Lu Yijian said with a smile.

"What's so funny about that?" Lu Gongxuan asked incomprehensibly.

"Stupid! Have you ever seen someone who can watch the sky at night and predict floods? Throughout the ages, no one has ever been able to predict the flood, Zhao Lei is unashamed to predict the flood, if he predicts accurately, it is a big crime to bully the king, it seems that Zhao Lei wants to go back to Beijing and wants to go crazy, he actually came up with this kind of trick, this fold is handed over to the official family, once there is no flood after a month, he Zhao Lei, don't want to return to Bianjing in this life. Lu Yijian explained to Lu Gongxuan with a smile.

"But my father, if Zhao Lei's guess is correct, what if there will really be a big flood in the Daimyo Mansion a month later?" Lu Gongxuan asked strangely at this time.

When Lu Yijian heard his son's words, he was slightly stunned, pondered for a while and said: "If Zhao Lei can really predict the flood, then he will be more trusted by the official family, and the impact on the official family will be greater, and it is estimated that he will return to Bianjing soon, and he will be more reused by the official family." ”

"Then we are presenting this recital to the officials! Or not? Lu Gongxuan continued to ask.

"Of course it has to be presented to the official family, this kind of thing must not be covered up, it is good that there is no flood, once there is a flood, Zhao Lei asked, that is a big crime of bullying the king, why take this risk! Besides, it is not beneficial for us to present it to the official family or not, so it must be presented to the official family. Lu Yijian said seriously.

"In that case, let's go and present the fold to the official! I hope Zhao Lei's speculation is wrong, just wait to see how he dies. Lu Gongxuan said excitedly.

"Don't worry! Before presenting the fold to the official family, one thing should be done first, which can thwart Zhao Lei's plan. Lu Yijian said with a cunning smile.

"What's the matter?" An official beside Lu Yijian asked curiously.

"You said that if Zhao Lei's performance was known to the people of Jiantian Temple, how would they react?" Lu Yijian said with a sneer.

"Borrow a knife to kill! Good plan! Those guys in Jiantian Temple have always been arrogant, if they knew that Zhao Lei was robbing them of their jobs, they would definitely obstruct it, and they would belittle Zhao Lei in front of the official family. Lu Gongxuan immediately understood Lu Yijian's words and said excitedly.

"Alright, now that everything is clear, let's get to work!" Lu Yijian said loudly.

The night passed quickly, and everything was as Lu Yijian expected, under the slander of the officials of Jiantian Temple, Zhao Lei's performance was not taken seriously by the official Zhao Zhen, and was discarded at will.

……

Gyeongju Castle is located in the Loess Plateau, surrounded by high mountains in the north and surrounded by water on three sides.

The Gyeongju city wall is high, the highest point is 14 zhang high, the lowest part is also more than 7 zhang, and the flat land in the city is the same height as the city wall, so it can be said that there is a city without a pond, which is very different from other cities, and it is a major feature of Gyeongju City.

Gyeongju city has a population of more than 100,000, it is also a famous big city in the Great Song Dynasty, Gyeongju has 6,000 forbidden troops, 4,000 Xiang troops, the Xiang army is stationed in the city, the forbidden army is stationed outside the city, and there is a camp in Hengduan Mountain in the north of the city.

Zhao Lei and his entourage of 100 people have just come to the Gyeongju Post Station, and Sun Wei, the governor of Gyeongju, is already waiting at the post station.

"The person who came, but Zhao Lei, the defense envoy of Gyeongju, Lord Zhao!" Zhao Lei and his entourage had just arrived at the post station, and a thin civil official in his forties greeted him and said loudly.

Zhao Lei saw that someone greeted him, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and said politely: "This official is Zhao Lei, I don't know who this adult is?" ”

"Xiaguan Qingzhou Zhizhou Sun Wei!" The forty-year-old thin civil official said politely.

Sun Wei! Zhao Lei was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that the parents of Gyeongju would come out to greet him in person, Zhao Lei already knew something about the affairs of Gyeongju officialdom when he came to Gyeongju, and this Sun Wei was the most important one.

Sun Wei, the character Yuan Gui, is eight years old today Chinese New Year's Eve, a Jinshi at the time of Zhenzong, and a famous prodigy, since entering the officialdom, he has been known as an old man in the officialdom, Chu, Qing, Xu, Qin, Hangzhou, Qing, and Zhuzhou.

When Zhao Lei came, he had already discussed with Wang Su that if he really wanted to eliminate the old and weak in the army, settling down was the biggest problem, and settling the old and weak in the army required the full cooperation of Sun Wei, the governor of Gyeongju, so it was very important to have a good relationship with the governor of Gyeongju in front of him.

"It turned out to be Lord Sun, fortunately I will be lucky!" Zhao Lei also looked at Sun Wei very politely and said.

"Who are these adults?" Sun Wei looked at Yang Wenguang and the others behind Zhao Lei and asked.

"This is General Yang Wenguang Yang of Gyeongju, and these two are General Xiao Ruoruo Xiao and General Yang Jinhua Yang, who joined the army in Gyeongju! General Yang Wenguang and General Yang Jinhua are both from Tianbo Yang Mansion. Zhao Lei pointed to Yang Wenguang behind him and said.

"It turned out to be a famous general, but I will be lucky!" Sun Wei said politely to Yang Wenguang and the others.

Yang Wenguang and the others didn't say much, and after clasping their fists and saluting, they stood quietly behind Zhao Lei, looking like Zhao Lei was the main one.

"Lord Zhao has worked hard all the way, the lower officials have prepared wine and food, help Lord Zhao wash the dust, please!" Sun Wei was very satisfied with Zhao Lei's politeness, after all, although Zhao Lei was demoted from Bianjing, he still held the official position of the prince and the prince, which was a second-grade high position, Sun Wei saw Zhao Lei to ask for peace, and now seeing Zhao Lei so humble and polite, can he not be satisfied!

"Lord Sun, please!" Zhao Lei and Sun Wei said politely.

After some humility, Zhao Lei and Sun Wei laughed and walked into the post station hand in hand.
