Chapter 923: The Siege
Although Huang Zhaoliang couldn't see Empress Dowager Yang's expression through the screen, it did not prevent him from hearing the prevarication and bias in her words.
He had no worries, took a step forward, and said: "Queen Mother, the epidemic in Guangnan is severe, and the medicinal materials are less than a day, that is, thousands of people will die of the epidemic, and Xiangzhou has only been shaken, a few years ago, it has been a once, compared with the two rounds, this time it is even more powerful than the last time, and it is in need of relief of grain and medicinal materials, otherwise once the epidemic is followed, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”
"A few years ago, Xiangzhou moved, although the minister was not in the court, but he could also hear that Fan participated in politics at that time, focusing on Xiangzhou, regardless of money, grain, medicinal materials, none of them delayed, and at that time, Jizhou and Fuzhou were in turmoil, Shu mutiny, several displaced people everywhere, and the epidemic gradually rose, but Xiangzhou was in front, but had to be ranked behind, because of this, it was not to cause chaos in Xiangzhou."
"Now the disaster is even worse, but the rescue power is not half as good as before, and the people affected by the disaster can do nothing?"
The knife that Huang Zhaoliang made up for it cannot be said to be not poisonous.
As long as everything has been done, it will definitely leave traces, not to mention that the incident in Xiangzhou and Ganzhou a few years ago was so big that everyone knew about it, even if the Empress Dowager Yang didn't know about it, when the discussion was over, she would go back and ask, and naturally she would hear about it.
is also Xiangzhou's ground movement, why last time, Fan Yaochen was able to disagree with the public, put out all the reasons, and first focused on Xiangzhou, and a few years later, it was clear that the disaster was even more serious, but his attitude became completely different?
"Now Xiangzhou is in misery, the people are difficult to live in peace, the people of Li are in dire straits, this place is far away, and it is necessary to plan as soon as possible, so as not to be in a hurry, and guide Luo Tongbian, after all, Shagukou and other places are only hundreds of miles away from the capital, and there are all villages near the left, once the recruitment is effective, it will soon be able to make people on top, and the minister thinks that the matter of opening the canal is the first, and the rest of the people are transferred, which is really inappropriate!"
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Yang, who was sitting behind the screen, immediately felt a little uncomfortable.
Compared with a few months ago, she didn't know anything, but at this time, she could already feel the edge a little.
Although Empress Dowager Yang is not a genius, she is not a fool in the true sense. Even if you only have the assets of a Chinese person, you can get a little cooked and hot after being roasted on the fire by a bunch of people in the court for so long, and there is no scorched black.
Moreover, she acted and listened to the government, and she was trembling, since Xiangzhou moved twice, as soon as the two governments had a meeting, she was anxious to turn back the folds of a few years ago at night, and invited Zhu Baoshi, Cui Yongchen and others to inquire carefully, and naturally knew that Fan Yaochen was in charge of protecting Xiangzhou at that time.
The scene at that time was similar to today, generally due to the lack of manpower and material resources, and there must be a trade-off, but that time Fan Yaochen took Xiangzhou, and this time he took Daoluo Tongbian.
Even if he suspected that Huang Zhaoliang was sowing discord, the flies did not bite the eggs, and every word of his people was reasonable, and the Empress Dowager Yang finally stepped into the pit by herself.
Why did Fan Yaochen choose Luo Tongbian this time? Is it really as Huang Zhaoliang said, because of this, he is the leader, and his people do not care about the people for their own interests?
After following Zhao Rui for decades, the Empress Dowager Yang did not learn, and the suspicious temperament was enough to learn, at this time, when she looked at Fan Yaochen, there was a little more doubt in her eyes, but she still said: "Zhongshu has already issued a general order, and it will not be long before Gyeonggi County can summon the people to ......."
This time, there were more than 20 officials in the vertical arch hall, and everyone turned to Fan Yaochen among them.
And Huang Zhaoliang looked at Sun Bian who was about to move, and took back his right leg that he had almost stepped out.
Sun Bian raised his head and said loudly: "Queen Mother! Although the book has been issued a general order, but dozens of counties in Gyeonggi, along the river, none of them have been recruited neatly, the minister saw the report presented by the Kyoto government, 180,000 people, only 70,000 were collected, and the Kyoto government reported a day, these days, only one or two thousand people increased every day, such a speed, when the people are together, how can Xiangzhou rescue? ! ”
After all, there are a number of people in Gyeonggi County, and now it is spring, and there have been several conscriptions in the early days of the war, and the people are all resistant, and no one is willing to go to the service, and if they can hide, they will hide, and if they can escape, they will flee.
On the other hand, the local yamen also needs manpower, but also agricultural work, and when it comes to the examination, Sangtian ranks first, which is more important than the rest of the matters. Even if he was urged to do so, he would cling to himself everywhere first, and he was afraid of causing a popular uprising, so he did not dare to act without permission.
After all, Heyin Wating is hundreds of miles away, because Sun Bian opposed Daoluo Tongbian in the previous paragraph, because of the survey of Bianqu, he was caught off guard by Gu Yanzhang, who returned to the dynasty.
Although she is anxious, she is still very familiar with political affairs, and she doesn't know that there is such a number, I heard Sun Bian say, simple calculations will still be possible, and after a time in my mind, Dengjue felt a chill in my heart, and couldn't help but ask Fan Yaochen: "Fan Qing, is there such a time?" How can there be so much missing? ”
How did Fan Yaochen know how?
Whether it is grain, manpower, or even materials, the imperial court has never been sufficient.
Sitting in this political hall, the daily thing to do is to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall. Whichever one is in a hurry, stick to the one first.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.
Everything is very important, naturally there can only be a trade-off, no matter which one he chooses and gives up, unless he doesn't do anything, as long as he is targeted by someone with a heart, he will definitely find fault.
However, when he was questioned and forced to the Empress Dowager Yang, he could only explain: "At this time, it is the turn of spring and summer, and only a few people have been drawn, and Gyeonggi County wants to recruit the people again, which is indeed very difficult, but the guide Luo Tongbian is really urgent, and it must not be sloppy, the minister first pressed the people who were allocated to the transfer department, but did not press the rescue of Xiangzhou, and ordered Ezhou, Xuzhou, Kuizhou, Jiangling and other places to send troops, and draw the people to rescue the ......"
Fan Yaochen was only halfway through his words, and he had already interrupted the privy envoy on the side: "Fan participates in politics, you want to order the troops of Ezhou, Xuzhou, Kuizhou, Jiangling and other places to enter Xiangzhou, but the Privy Council has never agreed......"
Huang Zhaoliang also interjected: "Jiangling is still fine, there are two regular positions, and they can squeeze out a little something, but Ezhou, Xuzhou, and Kuizhou suffered from drought last year, and they still rely on the relief of the capital, that is, they can recruit the people, where can they produce any medicinal materials and grain?" Did you leave empty-handed? ”
Caught and besieged by several people at once, Fan Yaochen just wanted to refute, and one mouth couldn't withstand three mouths.
