Before Zheng Xia dedicated the map of the displaced people, and at the same time there was a piece of music called "On the New Law into the Migration of the People", originally this book did not have any new ideas, it was nothing more than to criticize the various drawbacks of the new law, but at the end of the performance, Zheng Xia had some willful bets that if the new law was stopped, then there would be heavy rain within ten days to alleviate the drought in the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise he was willing to be punished for the crime of bullying the king.

Originally, Zhao Xuan didn't care about Zheng Xia's words at all, the new law has been really unpopular in recent years, and some officials dare to say anything in order to oppose the new law, so he only regarded it as Zheng Xia's angry words, and didn't take it to heart at all.

But what Zhao Ji never expected was that on the ninth day after he ordered Wang Anshi to be dismissed, the capital, which had not rained for several months, was suddenly overcast, and it was about to rain, which made the people affected by the drought also ecstatic, and they ran to the Dragon King Temple with incense and candles to ask for rain.

Zheng Xia's picture of the displaced people has a direct relationship with Wang Anshi's resignation, so many people in the capital know it, and the content of the "On the New Law Entering the Exile Map" is also very clear, and now I see that on the ninth day of Wang Anshi's resignation, it is overcast and it will rain soon, which makes everyone surprised, and those opposition parties are even more ecstatic, and immediately began to spread the news in the capital, saying that Zhao Xu's removal of Wang Anshi's phase is in line with the will of heaven, and now even God has to fulfill Zheng Xia's words.

Maybe in later generations, things like Zheng Xia can only be seen as coincidences, even if there are any rumors, they will only be regarded as jokes by most people, but in the era of the Great Song Dynasty, it is completely different, the theory of the unity of heaven and man is recognized by Confucianism, and the appearance of heaven and the table of rule are closely combined, so for this kind of rumor, most people believe it. This also made the reformers extremely anxious, staring at the sky with wide eyes, and appealing that it should not rain, even if it rained, it would have to wait until ten days later.

It's a pity that this time it seems that even God doesn't help the Dharma Changers, and on the morning of the tenth day, the cloudy sky finally began to rain. And the rain that has accumulated for several months is getting heavier and heavier, and finally forms a heavy rainstorm, which has rained for a day and a night, completely eliminating the drought near the capital, and with the advent of this heavy rainstorm, the drought is finally over, and all parts of the country have begun to rain, although the drought can not be completely eliminated for a while, but finally let the long-drought land recover some vitality. In some places, people have taken the opportunity to replant, hoping to recover some losses.

It can be said that the heavy rain in the capital marked the end of the drought that swept through the Great Song Dynasty, and hundreds of people cheered for it, but it did not include the reformers, because the arrival of this heavy rain hit them almost devastatingly, which marked that even the heavens did not want to see them carry out the changes again, and even Wang Anshi, who said "the sky is not afraid of change", also sighed and returned to the study when he saw this heavy rain. I didn't say a word for days.

The reformers have suppressed countless opposition factions through the implementation of the new law, and now the opposition in the capital has little power. But this time, he seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not only with the help of public opinion to suppress the reformers, but also wrote letters to crusade against the reformers, which caused anger and resentment, and wanted to completely clean up the reformers out of the court. Naturally, the reformers were not reconciled to this, and took advantage of the advantage of being numerous to refute the opposition in an attempt to regain their disadvantage.

It was supposed to be like this between the old and the new parties. There will be an outbreak in the court almost every month, and Zhao Ji was also more inclined to the law changer in the past, so almost all the law changers won, but this time Zhao Ji not only removed Wang Anshi's phase, but also had a little dissatisfaction with the law changer. In addition, this heavy rain also shocked him greatly, so in the end, Zhao Ji issued an order again to recall Sima Guang from Luoyang to the capital and appoint him as the governor of the political sufficiency, which finally gave the opposition a leading figure and calmed down the turmoil.

"Sima Guang actually returned to the court, this guy has a love and hate for changing the law, and he will be lively when he goes to the capital." Zhao Yan, who was far away in Guangzhou, received the news from the capital, and couldn't help muttering to himself at the moment.

Sima Guang used to be Wang Anshi's friend, and he was also a staunch changer, but unfortunately after Wang Anshi took power, the two broke out into a violent conflict because of different ideas, and even turned against each other, and at the same time Sima Guang also changed from support to resolute opposition to the change, Zhao Yan still remembered that in the original history, Sima Guang was in power after Zhao Ji's death, and the result was a comprehensive denial of the new law, but his approach brought a lot of harm to the Great Song Dynasty, which made the Great Song Dynasty, which was already weak due to the change, even worse.

"Husband, you really can't finish it, since you have left the capital, then don't care about the idle affairs of the old and new parties, just do the things in your hands well!" Cao Ying, who was in the study, heard Zhao Yan's words, and immediately gave him a blank look and said, when their family left the capital, it was to avoid being involved in the dispute between the old and new parties, and now they see that Zhao Yan is still bothering about the affairs of the old and new parties, so he said so.

"Hehe, how can I have time to manage the idle affairs of the old and new parties, but when I saw Sima Guang going to Beijing to take up a post, I felt a little emotional, and at the same time, I was worried about the eldest brother, with Sima Guang's character, there will definitely be a violent conflict with the new party, and then there will be a headache for the eldest brother." Zhao Yan said with a smile at this time, Zhao Ji transferred Sima Guang into Beijing at this time, which was really not a wise move. Because this will only provoke contradictions between the old and new parties.

"Giggles, husband, I don't understand, the last thing that the monarch is afraid of is that the courtiers below will fight, because only when they fight, the king can balance the political situation in the court, and even use this to reduce the pressure on his body, this is the real way to be a king, like the big brother did before, it is really self-inflicted." Cao Ying said with a smile when she heard this.

Hearing Cao Ying say that Zhao Yan was asking for hardship when he monopolized power, Zhao Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly, in fact, he also thought so, as a monarch, he only needed to grasp the overall situation, if everything needed to be handled personally, then what should the courtiers below do? What's more, there were already many officials in the Great Song Dynasty, if Zhao Ji took the affairs of these courtiers on himself, wouldn't he raise so many officials for nothing?

"Husband, I heard that although General Qi is a woman, he led the sailors of my Great Song Dynasty to crisscross the city of Zhancheng, and has occupied almost all the coastal areas of the city, it seems that my Great Song Dynasty is going to produce a great female general." Cao Ying suddenly smiled again at this time, but her eyes wandered, and it seemed that there was something in the words.

"If the lady has anything to say, she can say it directly, and she doesn't have to make any detours." Zhao Yan glanced at Cao Ying and said, they are all old husbands and wives, he naturally knows that Cao Ying suddenly mentioned Yu Niang, there must be something to say.

Hearing Zhao Yan say this, Cao Ying chuckled again, and then said a little seriously: "Fujun also knows that there is something between General Qi and Xu Yuan, speaking of which, this General Qi not only knows how to fight, but also is an infatuated woman, and she has waited for Xu Yuan for so long, which makes the second sister also a little moved, so she is ready to let Xu Yuan accept General Qi as a concubine." ”

"What? The second sister is still ready to take the initiative to take a concubine for her husband? Zhao Yan was immediately a little unhappy when he heard this, when the princess of Shu married Wang Xu, she took the initiative to give him several concubines, which is very rare for a princess, but Wang Shu was not moved at all, and even gave the courtyard where the princess of Shu lived to the concubine to live, so Zhao Yan now heard that the princess of Shu was going to take a concubine for her husband, although Xu Yuan was not Wang Xu, but he still felt a little unhappy.

Seeing Zhao Yan's appearance, Cao Ying burst out laughing, and only after a moment did she speak: "Look at the unhappy look on your husband's face, but don't forget, Ning'er and the others are also the ones I took the initiative to help you take a concubine, why can I help you take a concubine, and the second sister can't give her husband a concubine?" ”

Cao Ying's words also made Zhao Yan feel embarrassed, I don't know what to say, everyone in the world is like this, you can be strict with others, but if you put it on yourself, you are extraordinarily tolerant.

Seeing that Zhao Yan didn't speak, Cao Ying smiled again at the moment, and after thinking for a moment, she said with a serious face: "Husband, in fact, the reason why the second sister wants to give Xu Yuan a concubine, in addition to being moved by Yu Niang's infatuation, the most important thing is that she has never been pregnant, you also know Xu Yuan's identity, only he and Yuru are left in their family, if there are no heirs, then there will really be no queen, so I want to take Yu Niang as a concubine, and it is better to have an heir as soon as possible." ”

"Didn't the second sister let her grandfather pass the pulse a long time ago, she and Xu Yuan have no problems with their bodies, now there are no heirs, it's just that the time has not come, and if you wait patiently for a while, you may be pregnant, just like you and me at the beginning, now not only has Jia'er, but also gave birth to two younger sisters in a row." Zhao Yan said immediately, since he and Cao Ying gave birth to their first child, Zhao Jia, they have given birth to two children in succession in the past few years, although they are both girls, but because of Jia'er, Cao Ying is also very happy.

"The second sister's body is definitely fine, but husband, you don't know, a woman has not given birth to an heir after a few years of marriage, that kind of pressure is too great, even if the second sister is a princess of a country, she also has to bear incomparable pressure, I also have a deep understanding of this, so I can understand that the second sister wants to give Xu Yuan a concubine." Cao Ying sighed at this time, she remembered that she hadn't been pregnant for a few years, and she was about to be driven crazy at that time.

Hearing Cao Ying say this, Zhao Yan also remembered that when Cao Ying was not pregnant with Jia'er, her behavior was a little abnormal, which showed that his second sister was under pressure, which made him silent. (To be continued......)
