The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 488

In the early morning of the next day, the rain gradually eased.

At this time, Liu Wei already knew about Li Shengnan's death and Pan Weiji's men captured the prison.

But after knowing these things, Liu Wei didn't have much emotional change.

In fact, he had already thought that Li Shengnan might commit suicide. If Li Shengnan fell in love with Pan Weiji, how could she betray Pan Weiji?
He did not expect Pan Weiji's people to be able to find a stronghold in their Junzitang, but he also thought about the possibility that their stronghold would be discovered, so he had already made arrangements for those so-called strongholds, no matter what others No matter how I checked, it couldn't be worse than him, Liu Wei.

When they came to the palace, many officials' carriages were parked outside the gate of the palace. Liu Wei dismounted and entered the palace hall with an umbrella. Not long after, Zhao Guangyi came out. After completing the procedures, Zhao Guangyi said: "This morning, I I only want to talk about one thing, and I hope that you love ministers can be more proactive."

Hearing Zhao Guangyi's words, many people thought that what Zhao Guangyi was going to talk about was the massacre of Huayang Village. After so many days, this matter was the most important in the capital.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Zhao Guangyi was not talking about this matter.

"I just received an urgent call from Li Weinian, the governor of Shangzhou. The Yellow River in the north of Shangzhou city broke its embankment, and the Yellow River flooded in. It has already drowned many dealers and people. At this time, Shangzhou Rescue is desperately needed, and it is almost a hell on earth now, dear friends, what solution do you have?"

Hearing Zhao Guangyi's words, everyone was startled. What happened in Huayang Village was not small. After all, more than a hundred families died. However, the Yellow River burst its embankment and drowned the crops and many people who were looking at it. It's here.

When the floods pass by, the houses will not be left in pieces, the crops will not be harvested, everyone will be hungry, and there will be more refugees, and troubles will inevitably arise. If this matter cannot be resolved well, I am afraid it will shake the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty .

Every minister had a dignified look on his face. Compared with the massacre of Huayang Village, the breaking of the embankment of the Yellow River in Shangzhou was a major event.

Everyone stared at each other, but no one dared to speak first.

In view of this, Zhao Defang, who had just been promoted to prime minister, had no choice but to stand up.

"Your Majesty, the people of Shangzhou are currently in dire straits. As the citizens of the Great Song Dynasty, we must not ignore them. I feel that we should dispatch imperial envoys to resolve this matter as soon as possible, and we should send people to raise food and other food as soon as possible. Silver is enough, the food is used to relieve the victims, they can only wait for the arrival of hope when they are full, and the silver needs to be used to build dams to prevent the Yellow River from having another accident.”

Although Zhao Defang is a prince, he is also a person who has traveled many times in the folk arena, and he still has measures to deal with emergencies. After he said this, everyone felt that it should be so.

But, who should be sent to be the imperial envoy?
The affairs of Shangzhou City are not trivial matters, and naturally there will be generous rewards if they are done well, but if they are not done well, they may lose their positions.

It's not that no one does dangerous things, but most people don't like to do such things.

Therefore, when discussing who to choose as an imperial envoy, the whole hall suddenly fell silent.

And at this moment, the wind and rain outside the hall suddenly became more urgent, as if urgent.
-
Liu Wei stood in the hall without saying a word.

He is concerned about the people of Shangzhou, but now he really doesn't want to go to Shangzhou to be the imperial envoy. Now he is fighting with Pan Weiji. If he goes to Shangzhou City, the matter of Huayang Village may not be resolved. Even the trip to Shangzhou might not go smoothly, but Pan Weiji is a person who is very good at playing tricks behind his back. If he makes trouble for himself, wouldn't it be worth the loss?

But in the entire hall, no one dared to go.

The higher the position of a person, the less courageous he will be, and he will inevitably dare not take risks. In Liu Wei's view, if some officials of the fifth and sixth ranks are allowed to come here, there may be a few self-proclaimed courageous people, such as Zhang Qixian Lu Meng is waiting.

It's a pity that their positions are too low to go to the early court at all.

As time went by, Zhao Guangyi looked a little ugly. He looked at the court officials and suddenly became angry.

"As the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, are you so afraid of things? Is there no one who is willing to report to be brave and solve problems for me?"

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to answer, because anyone's slightest move might bring disaster on them.

Silence, nothing but silence or silence.

Seeing this, Zhao Guangyi said: "Okay, okay, you are so kind. Since this is the case, then I will give you a chance to allow you to recommend each other. Grand Master Pan, do you have anyone to recommend?"

Pan Mei hesitated for a moment, and said: "I'm a general, only know how to fight. I'm not good at these things. In my Great Song Dynasty, there is probably no one else who can handle this matter except Mr. Liu Weiliu."

When Pan Mei said this, Lu Duoxun quickly stood up and followed suit: "Master Liu is very capable, he can do it."

For a while, the others seemed to have found a scapegoat and recommended Liu Wei to Shangzhou City.

Seeing this situation, Liu Wei was quite speechless, it was like shooting out the leader with a gun, whoever came out first would definitely become the target of everyone.

There was a lot of discussion in the court, all of which were praises of Liu Wei. Standing in the crowd, Liu Wei looked really calm. He didn't even stand up to refute himself. How could he refute this matter?
But at this time, Zhao Guangyi was a little hesitant, so many people praised Liu Wei, as if the whole court was a family story, and Liu Wei had already made great achievements.

But Zhao Guangyi is a good monarch after all, he quickly figured out why these people recommended Liu Wei, so he nodded and looked at Liu Weiwei: "Liu Aiqing, the people of Shangzhou are innocent, if they suffer because of this, I will I am very disturbed, I wonder if you are willing to accept the order in the face of danger and go to Shangzhou to be this imperial envoy?"

Seeing this, Liu Wei suddenly knelt down without hesitation, and said: "It is my duty to serve the Holy Majesty after my death. How can I not accept the appointment? It's just that I need some more convenient conditions, so please ask the Holy Majesty promise?"

"Oh, what are the conditions, please tell me."

"I ask you to have full power to govern Shangzhou, and no one should interfere. Furthermore, when you are an imperial envoy in Shangzhou, no matter what rumors you hear from the Holy One, you must trust the humble minister. If the Holy Majesty can agree to these two things, the minister It is guaranteed that Shangzhou will become as prosperous as before, and the people of Song Dynasty in Shangzhou will live and work in peace and contentment."

After Liu Wei finished speaking, he stood aside and waited for the news. Zhao Guangyi hesitated and said, "Okay, I agree with your condition, and I can ask you to make another condition. No matter who you want to take with you, I will accept it." Yes, I wonder if you have anyone you want to take with you?"
