Failure to control the river

How to resolve the crisis? It is quite remarkable that ordinary people can see where the crisis is and come up with a way to protect themselves. But this is not the case. He has a trick up his sleeve to get his enemies to do things for him.

At first, he made a small move, which was Shi Zhicong's mistake. Eunuch Shi finally lost the face of his old-timers in the Han and Tang dynasties, but it is really no wonder that he is not a talent who grew up in a cruel struggle environment after all. He was intoxicated by the optimistic prospects, and didn't notice that Wen Yanbo expressed his appreciation while holding the document steady... Taken into your arms!

Such a major decision was not announced on the spot with other ministers! Not to mention deliberation and execution!

After these two groups of people left in batches, Wen Yanbo's counterattack was immediately launched, and he quickly summoned the two Si Tianguan to meet him, and after meeting, he asked with a face, "You have something to say today"

"Yes" The two are still so hard.

Wen Yanbo was furious, "Astronomical changes, this is your duty, you can talk about it." But do you have the right to intervene in national affairs? You sin and be beheaded."

The two Si Tianguan were in a cold sweat at that time, and they didn't know what they were doing. They have the right to speak, but they don't have the right to give orders. At this time, the prime minister was angry, if he really wanted to cut them, whether it was Jia Changchao or Shi Zhicong, unless it was Empress Cao, no one would be able to save them. Let the queen intercede for them... This dream is not real!

Then, Wen Yanbo took out the document and handed it to the other ministers to circulate, only to see that the document was like a virus, and whoever saw it trembled, and their faces turned blue. Suddenly, the collective roared "Slaves dare to speak up, why don't you cut them off" These are all old bureaucrats who have been trained in officialdom for decades, and the crisis index can be read in an instant. When the time comes, you must not be soft!

But Wen Yanbo objected, and he quieted down all his colleagues with one sentence, "If you kill these two people, Yu Zhongguan will be uneasy" Be careful of the queen's majesty going crazy!

Everyone understood at once that they had entered the palace to ignore the queen's authority, and then killed the person who proposed that the queen listen to the government. Do you really want to force Empress Cao to stand against them?

But the problem is that now that she is incompatible, the reason why she is still calm is only because Queen Cao is so virtuous and has never been angry once in her life. Now what? What must be done to prevent the situation from deteriorating and to keep Empress Cao calm?

The ministers pondered for a long time, Wen Yanbo turned his face away, and suddenly showed a charming smile to the two Si Tianguan: What should I do, do you two know the way?

The two Si Tianguan suddenly felt a chill, and they wanted to cry with regret. They don't know anything else, and it's clear that their heads are about to move. I wish I could turn back the clock. What kind of political speculation to play, it is better to live honestly than anything else!

If you don't want to die, you have to be obedient! Wen Yanbo showed them the way, but they still gave full play to their strengths, and when they went to the Liuta River construction site, they must calculate "well", whether this project has anything to do with the emperor's illness...

Fools know the results of the investigation. The two went out of Beijing overnight to rush to the scene. After careful investigation and precise calculation, a fundamental mistake was discovered, and the previous inference was wrong! Because the Liuta River is located in the northeast, not due north. It has nothing to do with the emperor's illness!

Immediately after the good luck came, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the emperor suddenly became conscious, just like a sudden fainting on the first day of the first lunar month. I was able to go to work and see people. Although he still couldn't speak, he just nodded to the minister. But in this way, the situation has been completely reversed! Empress Cao has no reason to come to the forefront. And Jia Changchao and Shi Zhicong's plans were completely aborted!

On February 12, an edict was issued: Officials above the two systems greeted at the inner east gate. As for the entry and exit of hundreds of officials in and out of the palace, it is stopped. 22nd. The emperor came to his senses and summoned the ministers in the Yanhe Palace. On the 24th, hundreds of officials congratulated him. Meantime. The project on the other side of the Liuta River is in full swing, and finally the day of completion has arrived. The completion of the Liuta River means that Shanghu, which broke the embankment nearly 8 years ago, can finally be closed.

On April 1, the mouth of Shanghukou was successfully closed, and the raging waters of the Yellow River finally became docile, and the flood was diverted by the Liuta River, which was thousands of miles away. Seeing that the thousand-year-old disaster was solved, Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, and Li Zhongchang and other water control personnel finally succeeded...

Stop! It only lasted a few hours! A few hours later, the water of the Yellow River swelled! It is estimated that the migrant workers and soldiers on Shanghukou will collapse again before they are all withdrawn from the embankment! Nearly 8 years of discussion in the country, half a year of construction, millions of dollars, and tens of millions of lives were swallowed up by the flood in an instant!

Let Ouyang Xiu say it! The Liuta River is too small, and it was fine at first, but as soon as the Shanghukou is closed and the water flow suddenly increases, it will almost immediately be unable to support it! The rolling flood rolled back upstream, causing the tragedy of Shanghu re-bursting the embankment!

Catastrophe! A catastrophe that cannot be saved! The authorities of the Song Dynasty gave up completely this time, let it go, and let the flood flow as it wanted... Since then, the Yellow River has burst its banks more than once, restored to the state of ancient uninhabited people, and re-completed the work of finding a way into the sea with its own strength...

Four years later, the Yellow River burst its banks near the Daimyo's mansion, and finally branched off into a tributary to the east. In this way, the Yellow River changed in the Northern Song Dynasty and became a two-strand river, and after the downstream, two parallel Yellow Rivers were formed, the North Road and the East Road. It's like a joke made by God and the Song people: what you want, the old man gave it! The Liuta River can't reduce the water, so the Yellow River (eastward) will reduce! But in fact, this eastward flow took an old route from the Qin and Han dynasties before the last great diversion of the Yellow River (far back in the time of Wang Mang). The change of dynasties has long been deserted, and the harm is even worse! Thus opened the prelude to the great diversion of the Yellow River during the Two Song Dynasty (at the turn of the Two Song Dynasty and during the reign of Jin Zhangzong, the Yellow River was selected for 8 catastrophe-level diversions)

Back in Kaifeng City, there was such a big disaster, the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Zhiyuan jointly signed a letter, demanding that the water dereliction of duty be severely punished!

Who is it to be governed? Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi were both depressed, and they spent a lot of effort, and even Ouchi and the queen were offended, but what was the result? I actually got this step of the field! At this time, Lord Wen came forward and used two major political tricks that can be used throughout the ages, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign! Once these two tricks are used, they never fail!

The first trick: never admit your mistakes! Flip through the history of human countries at will, and every big man who screams loudly has never said that he has done something wrong. This is manifested in Wen Yanbo, that is, no one has made a mistake! What the? Do you really want to pursue it? Well... I'll show you the official documents, the plan of the Six Towers River was personally approved by the emperor's royal pen! We are all clerks, do you want to hold the emperor accountable?

Check the information, and you will see the penalty decision of the person directly responsible for the accident. Take Li Zhongchang and the chamberlain Zhang Huaien as examples, Li Zhongchang was originally a palace prince. It was "demoted" to Dali Temple. Zhang Huaien was originally the deputy envoy of the supply and preparation library, and was "demoted" to the inner temple system. It's almost the same as no penalty!

This page is over. The real power is the second move! The first trick makes people dare to be angry and dare not speak, and the second trick can make people energetic, forget their anger with interest, and reconnect with the ministers. That's the legendary invincible trick - divert your gaze!

This trick is not for everyone, but it is powerful, so the difficulty is also extremely high. The user has to accurately determine what the air in the surrounding space smells like and what kind of opportunities are available in the public's will. In order to find the gaps and achieve their own personal goals... That's not all, people who have historically been able to successfully use this trick must have been super lucky during that time period. Because there are not many things that can divert the public's attention. All of them belong to the kind of nature that can be met and cannot be sought. To find it, you not only have to have a heart, but also have that life!

Wen Yanbo is the person who has both a heart and a life. At this time, there are two major events that can be greater than the catastrophe of the Yellow River diversion and can divert everyone's attention: 1. The emperor has a health problem, and no one can guarantee that he will live long live, long live, long live, but now the empire has no successor! 2 Wen Yanbo found someone who disgusted the civilian clique at this time even more than him! This person has disgusted all the literati of the Great Song Dynasty for nearly 4 years - Di Qing, the first leader of the Western Mansion and the privy envoy at that time!

Emperor Renzong was 47 years old at this time, and he had given birth to three princes, but all of them died young. That's great! Wen Yanbo successfully diverted everyone's attention: colleagues. Let's work together to do something really big! If anyone hesitates, please despise him, because he forgot the farce that caused a sensation in Kaifeng City back then!

It was April 1050. The only major event in the same period was the mobilization of all the people, and Zhang Yaozuo, the uncle of the concubine, was ruthless. Just as the Yanguan Group was preparing to fight under the leadership of Bao Zheng and others, two people suddenly came in front of the palace: an ordinary young man and a monk. Listening to the accent, it's still from Jiangxi...

On that day, these two people walked directly to the palace, and it was like the palace was their home, and they could come whenever they wanted. If you want to enter, you can enter. You can imagine how disappointed the guards that day were, "What are you doing?" the guards asked.

The young man looked up and ignored him, looking arrogant. The monk solemnly and sacredly said, "Don't be rude, this is the holy dragon seed back then, and the prince is also"

A bolt from the blue! The prince descends to earth! The guards looked like they had swallowed more than 200 flies alive. Two madmen, get out of here! I can't help but say that I drove these two away.

After this monk and young man were driven out of the palace, they went straight to the busiest street in Kaifeng, stood in the place with the largest crowd, and began to speak. Because the content was really popular, the crowd immediately surged, and they were surrounded by water. According to the monk, the young man's mother, Wang, was a maid in the palace more than 20 years ago. All mankind knows that the fate of a girl is uncertain, depending on who she marries or is liked. This legendary palace maid is like that. She was "liked" by the current emperor Song Renzong. Later, for one reason or another, she was kicked out of the palace and exiled to the people. But be careful: she already had Renzong's flesh and blood at that time! That is, the young man who is standing before you now! He is the crown prince that all the subjects of the Great Song Dynasty have been looking forward to for N years!

At the end of the monk's speech, the surrounding crowd was stunned. It's true... Fake? But it doesn't matter, it's the sensation that matters! The drama of the crown prince's street recalling his life has instantly spread all over the city! Naturally, it also passed into the ears of Yin Qian Mingyi of Kaifeng Mansion at that time. Is this worth it? Get them back for me right away! Misceasing the public, pretending to be the prince!

But after the person was caught, Ben had been silent, and His Royal Highness the "Crown Prince", who had a cold and arrogant expression, suddenly stared at him, and said arrogantly, "Ming Yi can't afford it" Lord Qian was stupid when he heard it. Mingyi... He really has the demeanor of a crown prince! Involuntarily, Mr. Qian really stood up! After standing up, he slowly changed his mindset. The history book did not continue to explain what he found, but only gave the final verdict: send His Royal Highness the "crown prince" to Ruzhou! Note that this is a very light punishment, which is equivalent to not completely denying this person's status as the crown prince! Otherwise, it will be a great rebellion, and it will be killed!

But this matter has spread widely, and now there are many new versions of the legend about the illegitimate son of Emperor Renzong in the capital. Finally, the emperor himself knew the truth, Renzong was still very sober at that time, he thought about it and thought, more than 20 years ago with a certain palace maid? It's been a little too long, I can't think about it! So the problem was handed over to a legendary big man to deal with: Master Bao Zhengbao of the Zhiyuan came out!

All Chinese know that Bao Zheng's case-handling efforts are unprecedentedly strong! In a few days, the matter came to light (this should be another example of the "Tanuki for the Prince" case, so the case involved Lord Bao Zhengbao) This young man's surname is Leng, called Leng Qing, a native of Kaifeng. His mother did serve in the palace, and after leaving the palace, she married a doctor named Leng Xu. Mr. has a daughter, and the second child has Leng Qing. Leng Qing was at odds with his family, and went to the vicinity of Lushan in Jiangxi Province to talk nonsense, destroy his biological mother's innocence, and get involved with the emperor. As for the monk, he was the first onlooker who didn't know the truth and was agitated...

The case was revealed, Leng Qing was beheaded for public display, but the mood of the subjects of the Great Song Dynasty was very complicated. To be honest, they may hope that this thing is true, a healthy adult crown prince appeared out of thin air, which is the biggest surprise of the empire, who cares if he is married or not! For example, isn't the life experience of the current Emperor Renzong Zhao Zhen quite tortuous? And throughout the history of the two Song Dynasty, the crown prince who appeared in the sky is real. History proves that as long as the name is justified, anything is possible!

Back to the original topic, after the incident of the fake prince on the street, the matter of the real prince was put on the agenda. This was one of the few things that the civilian clique could do, and almost everyone did their best to convince the Emperor to succeed in this "most important event of the empire"! The process is very exciting, and several big celebrities in Chinese history have revealed their true colors...

The first person is called Fan Zhen, he is not very famous, I believe that not many people know his name after a thousand years. But he was a figure in the Renzong Dynasty, and the cause was the scientific expedition 20 years ago. At that time, the old man gang was in charge, and there was a scandal in that scientific examination, and a large number of their cronies and children were passed, and as a result, the purge was carried out, and Fan Zhen was purely a disaster of pond fish. The top three in the palace examination were deprived and fell to 79th place. He could have objected on the spot, but chose to remain silent. This kind of temperament made him instantly famous, and everyone remembered him firmly... (To be continued......)
