Anwangfu.

Looking at Zhao Jing, who walked into the lobby with a gloomy face, Shi Chengcang, the head of the palace, and Sima Zhoucheng got up and saluted one after another.

"Sit down both."

Zhao Jing waved his hand, his eyes full of gloom.

"My father summoned Gu into the palace to give a banquet because the third child returned to Beijing."

"So, the group of people on Jing Mountain didn't stop the Third Highness?"

Changshi Cheng Cang's eyes froze, and he hurriedly asked.

Zhao Jing nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Not only that, but the third child also informed his father about the attack......

Speaking of this, Zhao Jing's face was gloomy and almost dripping.

In the past two years, the battle between him and the crown prince has become increasingly fierce, but he has always held a glimmer of the upper hand.

After learning that Zhao Xu had returned to Beijing, he had always been strong and didn't like any variables, so he had the idea that his third brother would never return to Shenjing.

Unexpectedly, in the end, the success fell short, and the third brother told his father about one of his followers, intentionally or unintentionally.

"In this way," Sima Zhoucheng stroked a few strands of goat's whiskers under his chin, pondered for a moment, and condensed, "Although Your Majesty is benevolent, in the face of the words of the Third Highness, you will also be furious. Lord Wang, why don't we send a message to Jingshan in time and let them hide the core members temporarily. Otherwise, by the time the army is overwhelmed, it will be too late to regret it......"

Zhao Jing's eyes flashed with approval, and he was about to speak, but he could hear Cheng Changshi on the side.

"Lord Wang, Sima Zhou, according to Cheng's opinion, there is no need to inform those bandits in Jingshan for the time being."

"Oh, why is that?"

Zhao Jingying raised his eyebrows slightly and asked lightly, and Zhou Sima also looked puzzled.

"The prince may have forgotten that half a year ago, the Beijing camp sent troops to suppress the bandits, but it took several days, and he didn't even find the bandits' lair, so he finally had to retreat to the camp?"

Cheng Cang smiled and said his opinion.

"Although His Majesty is furious this time, after all, Jingying no longer has the courage of the past, and it is probably difficult to completely exterminate Leader Zhang and them in one fell swoop. Don't forget, whether Jingying crossed the river dragon or not is still between the two theories, but that leader is an authentic head snake......"

"But if the Jingying defeats the bandits under Wang Hongyi and finds the letters between the prince and them, then the prince will be in big trouble."

Zhou Sima frowned and said what he was most worried about.

The prince has correspondence with the bandits, and he is also involved in the hunting and killing of other princes, if this kind of thing is exposed, then his master will completely lose his holy family, and there will be no chance to win the Ninety-Five.

Zhou Cheng, who has always sought stability, only felt that his colleague's judgment of the situation seemed to be a little too optimistic.

"Brother Zhou, just put your heart in your stomach."

Cheng Cang laughed and said:

"Half a year ago, the Jingying couldn't even find the lair of the leader of the king, could it be that after half a year, this group of wastes will be able to wipe out all the bandits under Wang Hongyi's command? If you change to someone else, you also think this is completely impossible! ”

Zhou Cheng said: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if." This matter is related to the prince's plan, and it must be cautious! Don't forget, your majesty's birthday will be in less than two months. If Jingying can't even exterminate the bandits that appear around the national capital, not to mention that Jingying's face has been lost, just when His Majesty celebrates his birthday, his heart will not be steady. ”

Cheng Cang patted his head and said with a little annoyance:

"If it weren't for Brother Zhou's reminder, I would have almost forgotten His Majesty's birthday. Lord Wang, let's send someone to tell the leader of the king, this time the Beijing camp will be serious, and the bandits under the leadership of the king will not stop. ”

Zhao Jing saw that the two of them agreed on the same opinion, so he nodded immediately.

"Since the two gentlemen said so, then Lone wrote a letter and sent his confidant to Wang Hongyi."

…………

In the early morning of the second day, the sky was overcast.

Tai Chi Hall.

Zhao Heng wore a crown on his head, wore a crown robe, and sat on the dragon chair.

Officials above the five grades in Beijing, solemn faces, according to the civil and military, in order, the civil officials are on the left, the military generals are on the right, under the leadership of the prime minister and the captain, holding the wat board, passing through the jade steps outside the hall, and entering the Taiji Palace.

"The ministers have seen the saint!"

Facing Zhao Heng, who was high on the dragon throne, the ministers bowed down.

"Zhongqing is flat."

Zhao Heng smiled.

A piece of gratitude was cautious, and Zhang Chu, the minister standing on Zhao Heng's left, shook the net whip in his hand three times in a row, and then said in a loud voice:

"If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat!"

I saw below, Xue Huai, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, held a wat board and went out to play;

"Your Majesty, the prefects of Linjiang, Ningjiang, and Jinghai have all played a table recently, saying that since the beginning of spring along the Canglong River, the rain has been nearly two percent more than in previous years, and the Canglong River embankment has been in disrepair for a long time, and it is overwhelmed in many places.

Zhao Heng frowned, and finally nodded:

"The matter of the river embankment is related to the livelihood of the people, so we must be cautious and allow it."

When Du Ming, the head of the household, heard that he was going to take out money from his money bag again, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice:

"Xue Shangshu, if I'm not mistaken, didn't the household department allocate a million taels of silver in the autumn of last year to repair the river embankment and deal with the autumn flood? So much silver, all the money spent in less than half a year? ”

Xue Huai, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, explained:

"Du Shangshu is not unaware that the Canglong River stretches for more than 1,500 miles from east to west, and the million taels of silver last year were only briefly repaired for one-tenth of the most urgent ones. If the embankment is to be completely repaired, at least about 5 million taels will be needed. ”

"Five million taels, why don't you grab it?"

When Du Ming, the head of the household, heard the end, he rolled his eyes in anger, and couldn't help but sneer at each other.

Five million taels?

How much silver is there in the entire treasury, and your Ministry of Industry will directly open your mouth, and you will have to go five million taels with one mouth?

Can Da Chu do other things?

"Princesses, above the court, pay attention to your words and deeds, don't lose your dignity!"

Seeing that Du Ming had signs of turning into a troll, Zhang Chu coughed lightly and reminded lightly.

When Du Ming heard this, his face turned straight, he no longer argued with Xue Huai, bowed to Zhao Hengshen, and retreated into the queue.

"The stakes are high and we need to be cautious. Qi Xiang, you and the two departments discuss together and come up with a feasible plan. ”

Zhao Heng looked at Prime Minister Qi Jin and said.

"Old minister, obey the order!"

There have been two dynasties, nearly sixty years old, and the prime minister Qi Jin, who has white hair, should give up.

Zhao Heng nodded slightly, and said:

"Li Qing!"

"Wechen is here!"

Li Zhiyuan, the imperial historian of the Supervision Yuan, walked out of the hundred officials.

Looking at this hard-faced and resolute confidant, Zhao Hengwen said:

"In the past few days, Li Qing has selected competent people in the Supervision Yuan, reported to me, and then went out to Beijing to inspect the banks of the Canglong River and Jianing River in case of emergency."

Canglong River is like this, but what about the Jianing River, which is further south than it, is it also rainy?

As the lord of the Chu State, Zhao Heng had to take precautions, and even planned to use the inner treasury if it really didn't work.

Li Zhiyuan surrendered his order.

Before the arrival of the summer and autumn floods, this is also a standing matter of the Supervision Yuan.
