The Queen Mother and Mrs. Wang have been living in the Yilan Palace, which is her blessed land. It was here that the Emperor's son, who brought her where she is today, was born, and she intends to stay here until she is old.

For the queen mother, the most important person in the world is except for her own children, that is, her younger brother Tian Jue. Originally, she could have more help, but Pingyuan Hou Tiansheng was an honest and useless person, and he was already very satisfied with the position of an idle marquis. Therefore, Tian Jue, who has been running around for her outside all these years, is particularly important.

Tian Jue's resentful complaint was not over, and the anger in the queen mother's heart had begun to rise slowly. She didn't expect that in the current powerful situation of their sister and brother, there would be people who would dare to come to the door to provoke without knowing whether they were alive or dead.

Moreover, they are all people she doesn't like, Dou Ying and Yuan Zhao! She had never had a good impression of them.

Dou Ying has been the prime minister for so many years, and he controls the court, that is, the spokesperson of the Empress Dowager Dou. The Dou family has been pressing on the Tian family's head for a long time, and the two families have deep grievances, but in the past, there was the Empress Dowager Dou, and she could only suppress these dissatisfaction in her heart, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.

As for Yuan Zhao, she didn't want to see her. When the boy of unknown origin entered the palace, he only ran to Changle Palace and Jianzhang Palace, and never came to see her, the queen mother. Without his appearance, Empress Dowager Dou might have gone a few years earlier, wouldn't she have been suppressed less in the past few years?

"Humph! Dou Ying is too ignorant of current affairs, does he think that today is still the same as in the past? Don't look at what the situation is now! By the way, how did he hook up with Yuan Zhao? ”

The Queen Mother was a little puzzled, it is said that Dou Ying is also a scheming guy, so it is not good for him, why did he come up?

"Who knows what that old guy thinks! Maybe he is unwilling to be lonely and wants to find a new backer for him and their Dou family? Queen Mother, didn't you see his face today, so you almost called out the name of my Tian family on the spot. Although many of you know that those fields belong to our Tian family, can't you just pretend to be confused? But he was reckless, and he looked righteous and awe-inspiring above the court. It's so hateful! ”

The more Tian Jue spoke, the more angry he became, and the more he remembered the bet he made with Yuan Zhao, this time he was calculated by that kid again, and he gave half of the family property to that kid for nothing, which was how much effort he spent to earn! A few words of kung fu were swallowed by him, and that kind of taste was simply better than killing him directly!

Thinking of the word "kill", his heart suddenly throbbed. Rather than being ridden on the head by someone else, gradually losing power, slowly strangled. It's better to take advantage of the current good situation and fight to the death! Get rid of the biggest obstacle in front of you, and make an example of the monkey, and show all the ministers what will happen if they go against themselves. The second is also a wake-up call to the nephew emperor, uncle is an existence that cannot be despised and is not used to let you be a monkey!

Tian Jue has always been a ruthless and resolute person, thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, and secretly made up his mind. Remove Dou Ying first, and then kill Yuan Zhao!

Anyway, her own sister has completely controlled Weiyang Palace, as long as she has her back, what else is there to worry about! It's just a power struggle between courtiers, as long as he doesn't show his intention to rebel, what can the emperor do with his own uncle? Maybe he'll be happy to see it happen.

It's no wonder that Tian Jue has murderous intentions, because at the court meeting, he was forced into a corner, with his heart, how could he endure it!

The Yellow River is sometimes a completely harmful river. Because it not only harms both sides of the strait, but today it has led the disaster to the Han Dynasty and caused huge waves.

At some times, the emperor was happy to see the battles of his courtiers. For example, today, he sat firmly on the throne, and after seeing that nearly half of the courtiers who supported the Prime Minister made a bet with Yuan Zhao, he only said one sentence meaningfully.

"Today's covenant, I am your witness. I am willing to gamble and lose, and if there is anyone who repents, he will be punished as a great crime of deception! ”

Chrysostom said that with a word from the emperor, the gambling contract was officially effective. Yuan Zhao lost, expelled from the court, and went to the court to discuss the crime! Yuan Zhaoying, all the officials who came forward, each gave half of their family property and handed it over to Changle Hou for disposal.

Dongfang Shuo and all the people in Shangshutai, although they have always had confidence in Yuan Zhao, they are also worried at this time. This is not a joke, once he loses, no one can save him!

Schadenfreude, smirking, worried...... Different emotions are written on everyone's face. Yuan Zhao glanced lightly, he restrained the smile on his face, straightened his clothes, and stood in the center of the hall again, facing everyone. The thunder is far and near, and there is no time to wait! He began to speak.

"Your Majesty, Your Excellency. What Weichen said about moving the Yellow River is actually very simple, it is just to change a few sections of the river. In the vicinity of those sections where the situation is critical, select a suitable area, dig a new river channel, and after digging, take the initiative to break the embankment of the Yellow River and divert the river water to it. This is Wechen's method of moving the river. ”

What the?! With just a few words of such an understatement, the Yellow River can be moved over a thousand miles? You're a fool to be someone else!

"Phew! Bold Yuanzhao, I already knew that you were talking about it. Now what else do you have to say? You should be digging a sewer in your Hou Mansion, it's so easy. Your Majesty, please cure him for the crime of deception! ”

Tingwei Zhang Tang drank angrily, he decided that Yuan Zhao was talking nonsense. This kid is finished! Hmph, the Tingwei Mansion fell into his own hands, but he had to be cleaned up.

"Lord Tingwei, don't be impatient, what you can't do, how do you know that I can't do it? In my opinion, digging a few hundreds of miles of river is not much different from digging a drainage ditch in Fuzhong! Hehe! ”

His voice was not high, but he could hear it clearly. Mad! This guy is so arrogant! How dare you say such a thing? Now everyone is not calm.

The emperor almost stood up, and suddenly he had no faith in Yuan Zhao again. Did this kid take the wrong medicine today or what? It's not at all like his usual steady style.

Some important ministers secretly shook their heads, how much manpower, material and financial resources need to be paid to open the river! Such a project often requires the strength of the whole country to complete. is really young and frivolous, and it seems that he is in danger of disaster today.

It's really self-inflicted! Zhang Tang glanced at Tian Jue, who was sneering on the side, and laughed instead of being angry: "Hahaha!" Today I'm going to listen and see what you have to turn the world upside down. Last time, I lost half of your property, and this time I'll give you all the rest, see if you have that life to take! ”

"Yuanhou is cautious! You are too young to understand the difficulty of opening a river. It takes a huge amount of labor to build a fort and consolidate the embankment, and it is a ...... that cannot be dug for several miles without a large amount of labor and several years of labor. ”

Taizhong doctor Zheng finally couldn't help it at that time, he was a county punctual, once presided over the repair of the river embankment, and had a deep understanding of the difficulties. However, before he could finish his words, Yuan Zhao had already reached out to stop him.

"Doctor Zheng, there's no need to worry about this. Because just a few days ago, a new thing appeared in the world, this kind of thing can be made of local materials, stirred according to the composition of the materials, simple and easy to use, is a good material for building embankments and opening rivers. Oh, this is my little invention, and I will dedicate it to the court, but the court needs to pay for it. Dr. Zheng is in charge of the revenue and expenditure of the world's treasury, so don't forget about it when the time comes. ”

Zheng's eyes widened at that time, and he directly filtered out the few words that Yuan Zhao said later. I only heard him say that he had invented something new, which was a good material for building embankments and opening rivers?

"W-What? Can it be used to repair embankments and open rivers? The old man has never heard of it, is it a ...... of masonry?"

The emperor's heart moved, as if he had an understanding. Yuan Zhao looked at the Taizhong doctor with a puzzled face, then looked up at the emperor again, and nodded slightly to him.

"Huh! It's not brick or stone, I call it 'cement'. As for its effect, Lord Zhang, the Taishou of Hanzhong, also returned to Chang'an with me this time, and he was going to meet His Majesty to report on the water situation of the Wei River, so he was waiting outside the palace. Your Majesty, can you order him to come in now and let him explain it in detail? ”

After being summoned, Hanzhong Taishou Zhang Shi was very excited, and his body trembled slightly. This was neither because he was fortunate enough to participate in such a grand court meeting, nor because he was encouraged by the emperor, but because of a great sense of accomplishment that inspired his heart. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Tai Shi Ling on the side recording his words seriously, and he knew that the experience of flood control in the Wei River obtained under his auspices would definitely be recorded in history!

“…… The Great Plains of Hanzhong are safe and sound! It is precisely because of His Majesty Hongfu and the little marquis that they turned decay into miraculous means that such a miracle can be achieved. Your Majesty, the old minister dares to use his life as proof, cement, the weapon of the country, can be of great use! ”

The official voice is upright, and the white-haired old minister. Who else can not believe the words that come out of the mouth of such a man? Although Emperor Liu Che had heard Yuan Zhao talk about the use of cement earlier, he didn't care too much. After listening to Zhang Shi's detailed explanation, his heart was also excited.

"So this thing has such a big purpose! Sure enough, it's a weapon of the country, hehe, it's really too useful......! ”

However, even if it is as Zhang Taishou said, using this thing to make a river embankment can save a lot of effort. But what about manpower? How can there be so many civilian servitudes available! That's a few hundred miles of river, and it doesn't help if there are no more than 100,000 people. ”

Zheng was also a little moved at that time, but the questions he raised were also very realistic. Yuan Zhao arched his hand at him, his face solemn.

"Haven't you forgotten? There are many disaster-stricken counties in the world, and hundreds of thousands of Li people are waiting to be fed, so many disaster victims, if they are not resettled in time, the chaos will soon arise! Aren't these people ready-made labor? Wouldn't it be a matter of killing two birds with one stone to effectively organize them, provide them with food and clothing, provide them with reasonable money, and dig a new channel of the Yellow River! ”

Wake up the dreamer in a word, and sure enough! What a solution! The main hall began to be lively. Zheng suppressed the excitement in his heart at that time and asked the last question.

"At present, we are preparing to fight the Huns, and the money and grain of the treasury cannot be moved lightly. The cost of controlling the river is huge, so what can I do?"

"If you don't take a penny from the treasury, naturally someone will pay for it and finish it in one battle! Hehe! Yuan Zhao looked at Prime Minister Tian Jue, and his smile became brighter and brighter.
