After the initial surprise, Rong Yi quickly regained his composure and took the initiative to come forward to greet him: "I heard that the Prime Minister is on a northern tour this time, and it is quite thrilling, and I don't want to meet here. Yi is really relieved to see that the summoning demeanor is still the same!"

Zhao Bohu replied quietly: "Thank you Prince Fu for your concern, the tiger is all right." The prince Fu is driving in Haojing, not only knows the whereabouts of the tiger well, but also can foresee that Luoyi is about to be in chaos, and stock up on food in advance.

Rong Yi's face did not move when he heard this, and his smile remained as usual: "The summoning speech is still so unfathomable. Yi was born in the countryside, how can there be any foresight. It's just that the Son of Heaven wants to go east in the spring, and there are too many officials and people accompanying him, so he ordered Yi to transport grain in advance, so as not to be in a hurry in the coming spring. Is there any other?"

After a lot of hypocrisy and wrongdoing, Zhao Bohu also knew that Rong Yi was scheming, and he would never mess up with one or two words of temptation. Instead of beating around the bush, it is better to go straight in: "The tiger just wants to remind Taifu that in this game of Lanxiang Madca, Ehou Yufang is determined to lose. Even if Taifu can relieve the rebellion of the displaced people, he also has to prevent the Ehou dog from jumping off the wall in a hurry!"

Rong Yi's eyes flashed, and he bowed deeply: "The words of the summoner are profound, and Rong Yi savored them. I have been taught!"

What he saw and heard along the way made Zhao Bohu worried. When he passed through Hangu Pass, it was the first snow of this winter in Guanzhong, but fortunately it was not closed due to ice and snow, otherwise he could only worry about his head outside the pass.

That's it, when Zhou Li Wang Jihu saw Zhao Bohu in the East Wing Hall where he met with important ministers to discuss important matters, he was still surprised, and he couldn't imagine how a personable middle-aged beautiful man had become an old man with gray hair and frost and snow in just half a year? This...... How can he be embarrassed?

Zhao Bohu was detailing the experience of his trip, sometimes speaking generously, sometimes choking in pain, but Ji Hu didn't listen to half a word. He had already learned about those things from Wei Houhe's secret recital, and he had already made up his mind how to deal with them. At this time, he only looked at Zhao Bohu's gray hair and was stunned, thinking back to the bits and pieces of how he got along with his young father from being a young man to being a pro-government for several years. He has grown up, but his young father is ...... Alas, visible to the naked eye, old!

"King Chenqi, re-issue the king's book, and correct the name of General Kui Ziliang, in order to comfort the tens of thousands of heroic souls of the border army who died in battle." At the end, Zhao Bohu shouted loudly and bowed to his speech.

Ji Hu suddenly woke up from his ignorance, and instinctively replied, "What the young father said, Gu already knows. However, this royal book must be put on hold for the time being."

"Why? The King?" Zhao Bohu opened his already somewhat cloudy eyes and asked in disbelief: "Knowing that Ziliang sacrificed his life for the country, not treason to the country and surrender to the enemy, why can't he justify his name? What's more, there is a great mourning for the defense of the country, and the whole world knows about it, if you don't correct your name, it will be difficult for people's hearts to be at ease!"

Ji Hu was silent for a moment, patting the copper box on his desk, with a bit of solemnity in his calm:

"The young father returned to the north, since he knew that the east and west were integrating the tribes, and when everything went well, maybe in the spring when there was a shortage of food and clothing, or when the autumn water and grass were abundant, he would definitely go south to Guanzhong to plunder. However, there was no more border army, and the Qishan battalion of the West Sixth Division had to go north to resist, and the left and right sides were stumbling. General Yu Zhong was strong, but the rest of the border army and the original Qishan camp were difficult to unite people. ...... for this."

Ji Hu looked at Zhao Bohu's slightly pale face: "It's not that Lone forgot the agreement before the young father's departure, but it is really the situation of the times, seeing that the war is imminent, if you don't end the demise of the border army as soon as possible, and let it drag on, the consequences will be unimaginable." I hope the young father will understand this!"

"The great war that the king refers to is coming, is it pointing to the north or to the south?" Zhao Bohu smiled teasingly.

"What does the young father mean?" Ji Hu remained silent.

"When the minister passed through the Guguan, he found that General Chongli was already in charge of the customs affairs; Chen also happened to meet Rongyi Taifu at Luoyang Ferry Wharf, who was unloading more than ten boats of corn escorted; Not to mention the collapse of orchid madder in Fancheng, the price has plummeted, and nine out of ten people in the city have gone bankrupt, all kinds of misery, I can't bear to see it. What the king's sword is pointing at, the minister has already made it clear."

As Zhao Bohu spoke, an indescribable sense of desolation surged in his heart. Since when did such a huge gap arise between the master and apprentice who were once close to each other?

From him knows

When the Yi family trading company was deeply involved in the trading of Lanxiang Madder and Qi Su, he was vaguely aware that this matter was not simple. Others don't know, but he knows very well that behind the Yi family trading company is Rongyi. And Rongyi has no personal grudges with the Eguo country, who is the reason for setting up this earth-shattering situation? can only be Zhou Li, Wang Jihu, who is determined to destroy Hubei.

But for such a big thing, Ji Hu never divulged a word to himself, which shows that he is no longer the person he trusts the most. Although he didn't want to face it, when the truth was bloody in front of him, Rao was like a sea-minded man, and he couldn't help but feel cold.

At this time, Ji Hu also felt like he was on pins and needles, and the shock and confusion in Zhao Bohu's eyes made him heartache and guilt. At this moment, he doesn't want to put on an imperial stand, let alone say something insincere, so it's better to be honest.

He thought about it, sat up and said calmly: "What the young father is worried about is right, the Lanxiang madder game was carefully planned by the prince and approved with his head. Its intention is to destroy the foundation of the people's livelihood in Hubei in one fell swoop and clear the obstacles to the destruction of the country for the Eighth Division of Chengzhou. The reason why he did not discuss it with the young father was because it was a secret matter and it was inconvenient for the young father to know; The second is because ......," he paused, and then said, "If the young father had known, he would have objected."

"Of course the old minister is against it!" Zhao Bohu Lang Lang shouted: "My Great Zhou rules the world with the benevolence of the Huanghuang "Zhou Li", and the emperor should use the royal road and benevolence to govern the Quartet, how can he perform this trickery? In this way, even if the country of Hubei is destroyed, how can such acts be recorded in the history books for future generations to admire and recite?"

"Then don't go down in history, as for future generations, they will only remember that they destroyed the country alone, as for how it was destroyed, after thousands of years, who else will remember?" Ji Hu stood up angrily: "The young father said that the king is benevolent and benevolent, and the king of Xianwu once practiced it, in order to make Yin Shang not endless, he sealed the son of Shang in the court, but it caused the "Three Eunuchs Rebellion" and almost destroyed the country; King Xianyi once did it, but it made his uncle Xiao Wang's tail too big, and forced King Xianyi to be imprisoned for six years. Lone will no longer eat the past, and implement some royal and benevolent government in a roundabout way. Whether in the court or in the opposition, in the history books and future generations, the emperor's deeds are real, and without merit, no matter how merciful the monarch is, he can only end up with the notoriety of a faint monarch or a tyrant!"

Zhao Bohu was so shocked that he took a few steps back, his eyes widened: "King, this ...... Are all these heart-wrenching words taught by Rong Yi?"

"What the young father said is not true, he is twenty-seven years old, and he has been in power for six years, do you still need to be taught by others what he thinks? Lonely himself has opinions when he encounters things, and his young father is old, so he is too rigid in the ancient rites and the laws of his ancestors, and does not seek variables!" Ji Hu was a little impatient.

"That's good." Zhao Bohu's voice trembled slightly: "The old minister once swore in the court that if Ziliang was convicted of treason, he would ask for his resignation. Now that the king's book has been issued, and it is not anyway, the old minister should fulfill his promise and go back to his hometown. I beg your permission!"

"Loneliness!" Ji Hu was slightly stunned, stood up and waved his sleeves: "Young father is my minister of Great Zhou, don't you understand that now that you are about to face two major battles, one south and one north, how difficult it is for the court, how can you bear to brush your sleeves and leave?" Prime Minister Rongyi can't get rid of the war in Hubei, Duke Zhou is old, and the affairs of the Hojing court must be taken up by the young father first. As for the matter of Kui Duoyou, as soon as the matter of destroying Hu is over, Gu will definitely give the young father an explanation."

"What's more......" he paused and accentuated his tone, "Lone did not erase the deeds of the battle of Kui Ziliangqi, and he did not embarrass his wife and son. Without Gu's acquiescence and approval, would the young father think that with just one arrow from the Prime Minister's Order, Dr. Kong would be able to pick people up from Haojing? In the final analysis, although Kui Ziliang did not commit treason, after all, it is difficult to escape the responsibility of defeating the army, what does the young father think?".

"No!" Zhao Bohu's tone was suddenly firm, and he couldn't hear any joy or sorrow. At this moment, he had made up his mind.

Since the beginning of winter, the Hou Yufang has been anxious, and he has been wandering around anxiously by the big lake in the back garden of the Egong Palace all day long.

He didn't want to meet the ministers who would only make noise and accusations in the court all day long, but couldn't come up with any practical solutions, especially that Huaiqing. This eldest brother is really not successful enough, more than defeated, greedy for hoarding and selling orchid madder, but he fell into the trap of the Yi trading company.

He can lose the bottom himself, the key is that he also pulled the people's livelihood economy of the entire Hubei country. I also blame myself, in order to accumulate money to compete with the Eighth Division of the Zhou Dynasty, the wind of orchid madder grass was allowed to grow throughout Hubei, the merchants hoarded madder and Qi Xuan, and the Chinese people sold their property to chase heavy profits...... What's more serious is that men don't plow and women don't weave, short

In less than two years, half of the fertile land in the entire country of Hubei was abandoned.

The Yi family was vicious and deliberately chose to stop purchasing orchid madder after the autumn harvest, when the farming time had passed, and it was too late to replant crops to recover the losses. Seeing that the grain stored in the country was only enough to barely support until the New Year after the New Year, the Yi clan added fuel to the fire, cut off the salt road, and cut off the passage of grain from other countries into Hubei. This trick is ruthless enough! Nowadays, the price of grain in Hubei is soaring, and every household is eating lightly, if there is no more salt and grain for disaster relief, the people will flee, and the country will not be a country!

At this point, I really regret that I shouldn't have listened to the advice of my eldest son, E Kunzhi!

Thinking about it, pulling and pulling, looking at the world, only the Chu State can pull the Hubei State. In terms of strength, Chu is a Jianghan bigwig, with soldiers and food; In terms of position, although E and Chu had enmity in the past, they are now enemies of the Zhou royal family, and the so-called "enemy of the enemy is a friend", and at this critical moment of life and death, nothing else can be taken care of.

Since his cousin Eyun sent Danyang as a special envoy, Ehou Yu was restless, stretching his neck to look at the echo of the Chu State. If Chu State does not agree, then there is no way to talk about his plan.
