Chapter 301: Waiting for Opportunities

Wang Ju quickly came to the capital and arrived at Zhongshu.

Han Qi was not polite, and asked at the beginning: "Wang Ju, the old man asked you to inspect Zheng Baiqu, why did you go to Chengdu Mansion?" ā€

"Qi Han Gong, the reason why Xia Guan went to Chengdu Mansion Road is not to play, Chengdu Mansion Yin Zhao Luan Gong can testify. After Xiaguan went to Chengdu Fu Road, he immediately went to Dujiangyan, and after inspecting the weir for several days, he hurriedly returned to Zhengbaiqu. ā€

"Why do you want to inspect Dujiangyan?"

"Dujiangyan has stood for more than 1,000 years and still exists, and it is worth observing and learning. Zheng Baiqu employs a lot of people, and the money is extensive, so it can't be careless, let alone repair it in front, and then collapse and collapse the embankment, which is not a move to benefit the people, but a government that harms the people. In addition, the reason why Xia Guan went to Dujiangyan to inspect was because in Xia Guan's idea, he would set up a weir reservoir in Zhengbai Canal to raise or store the water level, but Xia Guan had built small weirs before, but he had no experience in large weirs, so he had to observe and learn. ā€

This is indeed Wang Ju's true words.

Now there is no cement, so I can only mix glutinous rice flour and lime to make a coagulant, but this coagulant makes Wang Ju very uneasy, so he must go to Dujiangyan to take a look at it in person to see how people design and use it.

In this way, there is a bottom in the heart.

But this move did not greet anyone, and of course it was also a kind of dissatisfaction and protest by Wang Ju against Zhongshu's order.

Han Qi snorted coldly and said, "You don't even understand this, but you dare to say that you are not ashamed to say that you are cultivating Zheng Baiqu?" ā€

"Han Gong, which minister understands? If it weren't for the lower officials' words, there must be ministers who understand better than the lower officials, but the lower officials believe that they will not be much smarter than the lower officials! ā€

This kid actually dared to talk back, Han Qi was about to get angry, when suddenly Xiao Huangmen walked in and said, "Your Majesty has invited Han Gong and Zhu Gong in the Political Affairs Hall, as well as Wang Ju. ā€

Han Qi had no choice but to go to the political hall with several prime ministers.

Several people saw Zhao Ji and gave salutes one after another.

Zhao Ji looked at Wang Ju with a smile.

In fact, Wang Ju didn't know, if Wang Ju fought against Han Qi, Han Wei would definitely be on his side, everyone was Zhao Ji's people. But if there is no "foreign enemy", Han Wei strongly recommends Wang Anshi.

Wang Ju is talented, but he is young, and he is bold in doing things, not as noble and indifferent as Wang Anshi.

But even Wang Ju knew about it, and he also saw it very openly, it is true that he is too young, so how can Zhao Ju reuse it? Don't say that you are in charge, even if you are an official of the two systems, you can't do it now. There was a twenty-year-old two-system official, even Zhao Kuangyi used the imperial examination to enter the scholar indiscriminately at that time, and he didn't dare to play like this.

Looking at Zhao Ji's expression, Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu, Zeng Gongliang, and Zhao Yi were all a little suspicious.

"See Majesty."

"Wang Qing, in terms of the strictness of the tone, you should be the first in my Great Song Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, the minister didn't dare to be, and the minister also told Zhang Zhifu part of the truth, it is estimated that Zhang Zhifu was afraid that Sun Weigong would be embarrassed by the minister, so he also said it to Sun Weigong, and it seems to have said it to Cai Gong again."

"That Zhang Qianfu is not bad, I have also deliberately watched some of his related songs, which should be worthy of your recommendation to me."

Han Qi and the others were even more confused. This kid, when did you get on the line with the emperor?

"I heard that someone assassinated you in Jingyang?"

"Yes, there is such a thing, the eldest son of the second son of the guard next to the lucky minister blocked an arrow for the minister."

"This second eldest son is also loyal, Han Gong, on behalf of me, give him a hundred gold, in order to reward him for his loyalty to the lord."

"One Hundred Gold ......"

"The state is like some erosion, and a lot of money has been used in inexplicable places, can't I reward a hundred gold?"

"Whoa." Han Qi had no choice but to draft the edict himself, unconvinced, even if a hundred gold is not much, it is not worth my own hands to draft this edict.

"Has the murderer been found?"

"At that time, the minister measured the height of the terrain at the foot of the middle mountain in the northwest of Jingyang County, where there was almost no people, the forest was dense, and the murderer escaped and could not be found."

"Han Qing, by the way, I will draft an edict and order officials from all over Shaanxi to catch this murderer, and he dares to murder my Da Song Dongliang, he is really bold."

Han Qi finally heard it, Wang Ju not only caught the emperor's line, but also seemed to be very deep.

The other three prime ministers also had mixed feelings in their hearts.

Now there is one thing that is embarrassing, that is, this is the chief and deputy envoy of Zheng Baiqu's official affairs. If it was the original, it would be okay to let Yang Pan serve as the envoy. But if the emperor stood on Wang Ju's side, what would he think, it was obvious that Zhongshu was pitting Wang Ju.

"Wang Ju, I heard that you went to Chengdu?"

"Your Majesty, the minister can only say that he went to Chengdu Fu Road, he didn't go to Chengdu at all, after arriving at Chengdu Fu Road, he has been watching Dujiangyan, even the Lantern Festival, and then he hurried back to Shaanxi."

"Why watch Dujiangyan?"

"The minister only passed by Zheng Baiqu once before, that is, he entered Beijing from Huachi to report on his work, and he did not pass by Zheng Baiqu from the Yanzhou imperial examination before. The retainers had just recovered from the battle of Dashun City, and they were a little tired, so they walked slowly. So I accidentally took a look at the terrain in the relevant area, of course, I didn't think about Zheng Baiqu at that time, but I was lucky to remember some terrain. Therefore, when Han Gong wanted his minister to rebuild the Zhengbai Canal, the minister recalled this memory and found that if he wanted to repair the Zhengbai Canal, not only many sections should be opened stone canals, but also large water weirs should be built to store water and divert water to lift water. Although the minister had some ideas, he didn't dare to blindly verify them. Moreover, this verification cannot be seen back then, but must be tested by hundreds of years. Therefore, I want to go to Dujiangyan and learn from it directly. ā€

In fact, Dujiangyan has fallen into disrepair for a long time, and some problems have arisen one after another, but that has nothing to do with Wang Ju.

"I understand, so how does Zheng Baiqu plan to repair it?"

"When the minister went to see Dujiangyan, Yang Gou, Cheng Dujian and Hou Zhixian have been seriously explored, and at present they proposed two constructions, one is from the Shimen Hongkou, to the camel item, and the Baiqu convergence, only more than ten miles, this construction yƬ labor is not much, and most of the plain areas, the cost will be very small. If it is extended a little more, it can be extended for 20 miles on the terrain, to the east of Linjing Town, and it will be high into the white canal. However, the disadvantage is that the water level of the borrowed water is low, so the irrigation area is limited, and the high places cannot be irrigated. The second construction is to open a new canal from the north of Shimen, which is integrated with Nanjing water from the west, and leads Nanjing water into the new canal, which can irrigate 20,000 hectares of fields. If the canal is opened to the east, until the third limit is reached, and the white canal is merged, the irrigation area will be more. This is their opinion, such as the minister's opinion, if the construction is reasonable, and then build some large weirs, the water level will be further raised, and then open up to the east to the frustration water, the use of lacquer water and frustration water, then the three white canals can all be restored, and the proper operation, will be better than the scale of the Tang Dynasty white canals, the irrigation area can be close to 40,000 hectares. ā€

"Forty thousand?"

"But if you want to achieve this, the scale of the weir must not be too small, otherwise the water flow will also be a headache."

Later generations often say that the Zhengguo Canal is not so large-scale, which is calculated based on this water flow. But is there any mistake, is it the flow of Jingshui and the water flow of various tributaries after thousands of years, can it be compared with thousands of years? Even in the Song Dynasty, the water flow was stronger than that of later generations.

But if you want to irrigate 40,000 hectares, you still have to set up many reservoirs, otherwise this water flow is still a problem. Otherwise, even after irrigation, much of the arable land still lacks water.

This 40,000 hectares hit several people with their hearts. It is not 40,000 hectares in Jiangdongwei, but 40,000 hectares in Shaanxi.

Therefore, Zhao Ji immediately asked excitedly: "So how much money is used, how much is it necessary to use labor?" ā€

"This is not easy to calculate, but although there are some unsolid oil stones along the way, but most of them are hard granite granite, I and Yang Gou made a few people roughly calculate the labor that can be picked out by the surrounding counties, and also roughly estimate, if it is fast, and rebuild according to the minister's ideas, it will be about three years."

"So long?"

"It's still because gunpowder is used, otherwise the time will be doubled, and it may not be completed in six years, which is the reason why Hou Zhixian launched that simple plan again."

"How much arable land can be irrigated according to the plan of Houzhi County?"

"It's not a lot, and Ye Qingchen has almost repaired it according to that plan, and the benefits are only three or four thousand hectares."

"How much will it cost according to your plan?"

"According to the plan that the minister said, the money that Zhongshu originally planned to allocate will definitely not be enough. Majesty, this is the height of the various places measured by the minister. Wang Ju took out the sketch of the height of the sea in various parts of the Sanbai Canal.

Everyone will not doubt that Wang Ju used this method to flood the Xia army.

"Just follow the plan you have chosen to explore carefully, the money is insufficient, and I will allocate it from the inner treasury. Even if the palace is provincial, it must save this money. ā€

"If that's the case, let's find a way to get some money." However, Wang Ju shook his head as he spoke, even if soju can make a few dollars a year? By the way, by the way, if the bone china is good, I don't know how the Song people will react when they hear about burning porcelain with ashes. However, this money is put on a family, which is a lot of money, but what is it when it is put on such a big project?

"Qing's loyalty is commendable," Zhao Ji deliberately pretended to be an understatement, in fact, he deliberately glanced at a few people, that one big guy didn't have a lot of money in his family, but that one person said? Of course, Zhao Ji didn't want to force them to forcibly "donate", but he was a little disappointed in his heart.

As he was talking, a yellow door outside said: "Your Majesty, Imperial History Jiang Zhiqi handed over a piece of music." ā€

Zhao Ji opened it and looked at it, and was furious: "Bring him to the political hall." ā€

After a while, Jiang Zhiqi was brought to the political hall, and Zhao Ji threw the song in front of him: "Jiang Zhiqi, you are the imperial history, the country's minister, you should be honest and loyal, not to reverse black and white, and bully and flatter!" What dereliction of duty, what audacity, I see that you are the dereliction of duty and boldness. ā€

Han Qi thought to himself what was wrong, he picked up the song and looked at it, it was engraved with Wang Ju. So he glanced at Jiang Zhiqi with some sympathy, and there was also a trace of worry in his heart.

At this time, Zhao Ji was still very quiet.

But he was dissatisfied with Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu very early.

One is finance, and the other is Puyi.

Not only did he oppose his father's Pu Yi, but in fact, even Gao Tao persuaded Zhao Shu in the harem, but Zhao Shu didn't listen.

Right or wrong, please see what the people want.

Zhao Zhen is dead, everyone in the capital is mourning, Zhao Shu is dead, no one in the capital is crying, what should be played is still played, and what should be fun is still fun.

From Han Qi's standpoint, they also made Zhao Shu bitter.

Standing in the position of Zhao Ji and Gao Taotao, it was because the two prime ministers who could influence their fathers and husbands did not persuade them, otherwise how would the husbands be obsessed.

Therefore, Zhao Ji soon overthrew the Puyi dispute, and Gao Taotao also did not object. Even when Zhao Ji began to change the law, Gao Taotao did not object. When some of Wang Anshi's controversial changes were introduced, Gao Taotao's thinking changed somewhat. However, Gao Taotao was still silent, his son wants to use this money to strengthen the army, so let's collect money. As a result, the five roads were defeated in Xia, and Yongle City was defeated again. Coupled with the fact that the people of Gao Cao's two families were desperately making bad things behind them, Gao Tao's mentality began to distort.

This is also a change in his heart, so Wang Ju knew that Sanbaiqu was a pit last year, but he still jumped down. If you want to talk about it and not produce a later heart, you can't let Huaxia and Yongle City become a tragedy, but the three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the logistics are the key, so the Sanbaiqu has also become the key!

But Han Qi was the prime minister of the three dynasties, and the tree has deep roots, and Zhao Ji is still a little jealous now.

So he was waiting for his chance.

The first opportunity came, Zhao Shu died, Ouyang Xiu may have been a little anxious, or a little careless, he didn't take off his official uniform, but just put on his robe outside and went to Funing Palace.

Liu Zhen was pitted by Ouyang Xiu once, and he was not very happy in his heart, so he impeached Ouyang Xiu's purple clothes, which is the purple official uniform.

If Zhao Ji had a good impression of Ouyang Xiu, then he would pretend to be deaf and dumb.

But on the spot, Zhao Ji sent an envoy to order Ouyang Xiu to immediately take off his official uniform.

In fact, this is also a signal sent by Zhao Xu, I am not satisfied with Ouyang Xiu.

But it is true that Ouyang Xiuzheng in his later years is very incompatible with his articles.

Why did Zhao Ji do it to Ouyang Xiu first, the reason is very simple, there are many inconveniences in moving Han Qi, and Ouyang Xiu must be moved first to move Han Qi, because Ouyang Xiu is Han Qi's number one mouthpiece and helper.

However, after this signal was issued, there was still no sound in the entire court.

The reason is simple, some people who oppose Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu's big mouth were demoted out of the court by the two, and the rest of the people have objections, but they are not big mouths and don't want to do much.

Therefore, in February, Zhao Ji personally gave Li Duan a handwritten letter: Qingdi is close to relatives, loyal to the first dynasty, tired of resisting the seal, knowing that Chen Zhi wanted, the first emperor did not have time to implement, and abandoned the four seas. When the beginning of the throne of the Chong people, it is the autumn of the king's promise, do not abandon the cold, do not forget to take care of the trust, lose loyalty and bow, and the first emperor of Shu has a career to revitalize. It should be the priority of the day, and it is advisable to hear it every time.

Why Li Duanyuan?

Time back to last year, everyone recommended Li Duanyuan, but Du Hanqi disagreed and recommended Guo Kui. So Li Duanyuan is not Han Qi's person.

That's why I gave Li Duan a handwritten letter, I trust you, don't worry about making bold statements.

But Li Duanyuan is stupid, he didn't see such an obvious intention, and he didn't make a statement, but it was not the speech that Zhao Ji needed. Therefore, the doorman is very important, if Li Duanyuan has a powerful doorman at home at this time, pointing out the tricks, Li Duanyuan will be prosperous in the second half of his life.

That's why we have today's play.

What does the actual Yanchen do, that is, he has a big mouth and talks nonsense, and the ancestral family law of the Song Dynasty is to allow the Yanchen to hear the wind and enter, even if he hears the rumors, he can admonish and use this to supervise the ministers.

Therefore, whether Jiang Zhiqi is right or wrong, there is nothing wrong. Moreover, after Zhao Ji ascended the throne, he was very polite, and officials, regardless of size, called the official name, instead of calling him by name, and now Zhao Ji was not only angry, but even his name came out.

How so?

Because it turned out that when everyone was against the Puyi dispute, Jiang Zhiqi ran to Ouyang Xiu and said that the emperor and Ouyang Xiu did the right thing, so Ouyang Xiu deliberately promoted him to the imperial history, this kind of flattery made many people look down on Jiang Zhiqi and look at him as treacherous.

In this way, there is today's play.

In fact, not only Han Qi could see it, but Ouyang Xiu could also see it, where he was sitting, his face immediately turned pale.

PS: It's the last day of the double monthly pass, ask for the monthly pass. But don't worry, at least for this month, if I don't double the monthly pass, I will still break out habitually. R1152
