"Your Majesty, this Bai Bo is known as the god of war in Annan, and he has fought countless battles in his life, winning more and losing less, and the person sent by the imperial court to seize Jingzhou is a weak scholar who has just entered the battlefield, and the two are not of the same level at all. ”

Cao Zhengchun's expression was slightly dark, and he arched his hand towards Zhao Lin and said: "The old slave suggests that General Dian Wei be transferred to the front line in Jingzhou immediately, and let him deal with this white wave, so that he can have a chance of winning." ”

"Aiqing is very worried. ”

Zhao Lin nodded, but then the conversation changed, "However, since I have already entrusted the important task to Yang Meng, how can I easily replace him?"

"Don't use suspicious people, don't use suspicious people. I heard from the Ministry of War that Yang Meng's strategic deployment is good, so I might as well let him give it a try. ”

"If he fails, it's not too late to think about a replacement. ”

Hearing this, Cao Zhengchun couldn't help frowning.

Such an important thing, let that scholar give it a try?

If you fail, you'll be in trouble.

The army of Annan will drive straight into Jinling and take it directly!

When the time comes, it will inevitably be another battle for survival.

However, since this is His Majesty's decision, he naturally has no objections.

"Father-in-law Cao, you let the secret agent of Dongchang cooperate with Yang Meng and help him fight against the white waves. ”

Zhao Lin looked at Cao Zhengchun in front of him and ordered.

"The old slave obeyed. ”

Cao Zhengchun took the order and left.

"Yang Meng, Yang Meng, I hope I didn't see the wrong person. ”

Zhao Lin looked at the back of Cao Zhengchun leaving, and a gleam suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Yang Meng is the champion he hand-picked, and he can be regarded as his student.

Zhao Lin felt that Yang Meng might have the talent to be a commander.

That's why he entrusted this person with a heavy responsibility.

But if Yang Meng loses, he will not hesitate to replace the other party.

And Yang Meng himself, I am afraid that he will return to the court in the future and lose the opportunity to go to the battlefield.

This was a gamble by Zhao Lin.

It is also a test for Yang Meng.

......

The Great Song Dynasty, the land of Lingnan.

Hundreds of years ago, this Lingnan land was still a barren land full of poisonous miasma.

It is full of poisonous insects and beasts, and it is sparsely populated.

However, with the increasing number of immigrants entering Lingnan, this area has also become more and more prosperous.

Especially after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty.

Lingnan accelerates development.

Now it has become an important territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

High in the sky, the sun is scorching.

The entire Lingnan region has been experiencing a severe drought that has lasted for more than a month.

The people were hungry, and they were starving all over the land.

Yuezhou Mansion.

"Lord Prefect, now the disaster in Lingnan is getting worse day by day, the food in the official warehouse is seriously insufficient, and the number of victims has surged,"

The person who spoke was dressed in official uniform, it was the general judgment of Yuezhou, and he bowed his hand to the prefect of Yuezhou on the main seat and said: "The lower official suggests that this matter be reported to the imperial court immediately, and the imperial court is asked to send someone to come to the disaster relief!"

However, the prefect of Yuezhou shook his head, "Such a trivial matter, why should it be reported to the imperial court, when it rains on this day, the disaster will be automatically lifted." ”

"However, there are a lot of hungry people outside now, asking the government to open a warehouse to release grain......

The general judge couldn't help frowning.

"It's just a group of Diao people, don't pay attention to it, this granary is the reserve grain of the imperial court, how can it be used on this group of untouchables?"

"What's more, without His Majesty's will, how can you easily open a position?"

The prefect of Yuezhou smiled coldly, "This matter is so decided, no one is allowed to report this matter!"

"Otherwise, this mansion wants you to look good!"

"Yes. ”

A group of local officials were afraid of the prefect's obscenity, and nodded their heads one after another.

However, in the heart of the general judge of Yuezhou, he sighed secretly.

This prefect thinks that he can hide from the heavens and the sea, but he thinks that he can really hide it from the current saints?

Your Majesty now has your hands and eyes open to the sky, and you can see everything......

Sooner or later, this matter will reach His Majesty's ears.

When the time comes, all of them will be finished.

"No, the prefect wants to find death, that's his business, I can't be implicated by him. ”

Yuezhou's heart was like a mirror, "This matter must be reported to Your Majesty immediately." ”

The next day.

Morning.

Zhao Lin was furious, and threw the Yuezhou general judgment on the face of the head of the household.

"There was such a catastrophe in Lingnan, and the imperial court didn't know about it at all?

Tobe Shangshu hurriedly picked up the fold on the ground, and his face quickly darkened.

He really didn't know anything about it!

But he was so wronged!

How can a local official know if he doesn't report it?

It's a disaster!

During this time, he has been busy measuring land and checking household registration, and has no time to take care of other things.

Who would have expected that this would not only be praised by the emperor, but would be thrown in the face.

However, even if he was aggrieved in his heart, Tobe Shangshu could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed a dereliction of duty on the part of the minister!"

Hubu Shangshu immediately pleaded guilty to Zhao Lin, he knew that in front of the latter, quibbling was useless.

"However, Wechen is not the main responsibility,"

"This local official in Guangdong dared to conceal the disaster and disregard the lives of the people of Limin. Your Majesty, these people must be severely punished!"

Hearing this, Zhao Lin on the throne also narrowed his eyes slightly.

Of course, he knew in his heart that this was the result of local officials concealing and not reporting it.

It has nothing to do with the book of the head of the household.

He didn't plan to take the Tobe book under the knife.

It's just that he was very angry that such a big thing happened in Lingnan, and the entire imperial court didn't know anything about it.

"Your Majesty, when there is a disaster in Lingnan, it should have been played by the prefect of Yuezhou, but now, it is the general judgment of Yuezhou, which may be strange. ”

At this time, a young figure came out of the ranks, and it was none other than the Tanhua of this dynasty, Li Mufeng.

Now he is the editor of the Hanlin Academy.

Li Mufeng clenched his fists towards Zhao Lin, "The minister suggested that someone should be sent south immediately to find out about this matter." ”

"If this matter is false, it will be sentenced to Yuezhou for the crime of defrauding the king. ”

"If there is really a disaster, all officials below the prefect of Guangdong will be severely punished, and grain will be opened to relieve the victims. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Lin's eyes lit up slightly.

This Li Mufeng seems to really have two brushes.

"Aiqing's proposal is very good,"

Zhao Lin nodded, "Then I will make an order, make you the minister of the Qin Mission, and go to Yuezhou to investigate this matter!"

Li Mufeng was about to retreat, but he was suddenly stunned.

He?

His Majesty actually asked him to go to Yuezhou?

"Your Majesty, this kind of thing, the minister has no experience, I'm afraid there will be a negative grace ......"

Li Mufeng said weakly.

He is a stunned young man who has just entered the imperial court.

Now, Zhao Lin actually handed over such a major event to him, which undoubtedly made him a little panicked.

However, Zhao Lin sneered in his heart.

I want an inexperienced one like you.

Others, he really didn't feel at ease.

After all, above this officialdom, officials protect each other.

Who knows, how many connections does the prefect of Guangdong have in this court.

Therefore, no matter who is sent, there is a possibility of collusion with the prefect of Yuezhou.

But Li Mufeng is different.

He is the emperor's enshrined Tanhua and a protégé of the Son of Heaven.

And he has always admired Zhao Lin.

He must be loyal to Zhao Lin.

On the other hand, Li Mufeng has just entered the court, and his foundation and connections are still shallow, so it is unlikely that he will form a party for personal gain.

Therefore, Zhao Lin decided to send him.

This kid is decided.
