I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 777

The Southern Expeditionary Army was not rewarded.

After hearing that Zhang Dun had an audience with His Majesty, he returned the seal letter to the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, and began to thank guests behind closed doors.

Said to thank guests behind closed doors, but did not refuse the generals of the Southern Expedition Army to come to the door.

Then, within a few days, several generals who came back from Annan were scattered and arranged to Hebei Road one by one.

Originally, some courtiers blamed Zhang Dun for his reckless behavior, but now Cheng is overwhelmingly sympathetic to Zhang Dun.

"At any rate, it was the achievement of destroying the country. If the imperial court treats heroes so badly, who will fight for it in the future?"

"Zhang Zihou is a little swollen, pierced through Dali, and provoked Annan...~I heard that Annan sent envoys to Bianliang several times to cry..."

"It's not that simple! I heard that when Zhang Zihou led the army in Annan, he had a lot of sex with that man, and they went back and forth several times before the battle..."

"It was reported by officials in the Ministry of War that neither the Ministry of War nor the Privy Council has verified the head of the King of Dali...~ I heard that when I heard about the meritorious service, I was punished as a corrupt leader."

"Shouldn't it? A few days ago, the Crown Prince Jiao Ying, how mighty Zhang Dashuai is? How could the court not know about it?"

"You don't know that, do you? I heard that after Zhang Zihou had an audience with His Majesty, the court changed its direction..."

Although the rumors in the market are not credible, the so-called "no wind, no waves" means that there are too many speculations in the market, and there are always some possibilities that are close to the truth.

It's a pity that the rumors about Zhang Dun this time are not reliable at all.

Even so, there are people who believe.The first ones who couldn't hold back were those old men who had the title of privy envoys and taught in the lecture hall and the tribute academy.

To be honest, the officialdom has really improved the status of generals over the years. Not to mention that there have always been soldiers, soldiers and school lieutenants in the martial arts hall, even the Gongyuan, the scholars' interest in military strategy is also quite high.

But this time, the rewards of the Southern Expedition Army disappeared quietly, which was a great blow to this atmosphere.

"Mr. Ouyang, can you borrow the old man's house to speak to the officials..."

Di Qing, Guo Kui, Chong E, and even Kumamoto, who was not familiar with Zhang Dun, joined in the fun and came to ask Ouyang Xiu for advice.

It's okay to fight against them, but if you want to talk about the tricks in the court, even civil servants as upright as Ouyang Xiu will degrade them a few streets.

"Once the old man's house is opened, the gentlemen will also be the counselors of the old man's house..."

Ouyang Xiu didn't mention Zhang Dun, but this.One by one, the handsome men became anxious.

Ouyang Xiu's performance means that the court is likely to be in this way with Zhang Dun.

"I've thought about it too much! You can see what the cabinet ministers have said? Wang Zichun was the coach of Zihou, what can he say?"

"There are two possibilities. The first is that as you think, the officials are determined to punish Zhang Zihou, and the cabinet ministers' suggestions are also rejected."

"There is another possibility. The real inside story is different from hearsay. The important officials of the court use hearsay to make suggestions? Do you think it was still the first emperor? Hearing the wind and playing it?"

"In the old man's opinion, this is a good thing for Zihou! Without the permission of the court, colluding with the enemy before the battle is a serious crime! Zihou's temper is unrestrained, and this incident can also make him sink his temper."

"Mr. Ouyang, but that's the second prince..."

"Second prince? Murdering your elder brother is no different from an animal? If the Song Dynasty let this person rule, maybe the heads of ministers and workers will fall to the court every day!"

have to!It is better not to say it.Back to this issue again.

Next, Ouyang Gong will praise the officials for their combination of rigidity and softness.

The civil and military affairs of the Guochao are like this. When Ouyang Xiu sternly spoke, these veterans who never retreated on the battlefield stopped arguing... The main reason is that they couldn't argue at all.

"Let's all go back, what should we do? In a few months, the change of the Guochao will begin, and this time it should be a big change...~ This old man is going to enter the Old Man's Home."

"Wait... But Di Hanchen has rectified his name this time. Hanchen has been a counselor in the Old Court for many years."

Ouyang Xiu pulled away again~~

Zhong E seemed to be begging, so Di Qing gave him a tug.

"Brother Hanchen, what do you mean?"

"Actually, Mr. Ouyang has already told me to wait for the answer. What Zi Hou did before the battle received a lot of criticism from the court, and the officials had to do this to quell the criticism."

"Zhang Zihou thanked guests behind closed doors during this period of time. Self-cultivation is the best way to quell criticism."

"The real inside story is what Mr. Ouyang said last. The court will change in a few months. The matter of Zhang Zihou will only be known at the time of the change..."

This is how civil servants speak, and they never explain clearly.That is to say, Di Qing spent a lot of time with Ouyang Xiu in the lecture hall, and communicated a lot, so he can probably guess the meaning.

Thinking about their so-called old coaches, it's time to consider where they will go when the time comes.

……

Su Song has returned to court, or Su Song's exploration team has returned to court.

This trip to Beijing to explore is not to explore any resources, but to trace back the reason for sending troops to Xixia in the first place... Yellow River governance.

This time Su Song's team went out to investigate, and the purpose was to investigate the terrain for the construction of water conservancy facilities upstream.

This is not because Zhao Xi wanted to prove that he used river control as an excuse to conquer Xixia, but because there were several floods in midsummer, Zhao Xi arranged this survey.

"Zirong worked hard, life worked hard..."

The complexions of Su Song and Shen Kuo were a bit party-like, they were dark, and even had plateau red on their cheeks.They have really worked hard these past few months.

Zhao Xi had also heard that Shen Kuo's not-so-firm character was often criticized by others. However, when it came to these matters, Zhao Xi saw that Shen Kuo possessed the qualities of a scientist.

It is the great Song Dynasty's fortune to have these two people.

"Officials, thanks to Cunzhong for this trip, Cunzhong created a "flying bird map" to draw maps to replace the traditional method of following the road and footsteps. This method saves me a lot of hard work."

"Officials, this survey has yielded quite a lot. Originally, the officials said the method of harnessing the river, but I thought it was just an excuse to conquer Xixia. I am really narrow-minded. After this survey, we have personally experienced the entire flood season, and we have a good understanding of the Yellow River. The cause of the flood has my concubine's body experience."

"As the officials said, the root of flood control lies in the middle and upper reaches. The Yellow River flows into the east of the river. Because the land in the east of the river is heavily felled, the surface is exposed. At the same time, tributaries such as the Fen River and the Xing River flow into it, and a large amount of sediment is poured down. , thus forming a flood in the downstream..."

Su Song was a little excited, maybe because of the harvest, or maybe because he found a way to control the flood. He even avoided the politeness when he met the officials, and directly started to tell the results of this survey.

Moreover, in the statement, it seems that there is still a bit of incoherence, and the narrative is picked and picked.This mode is exactly what Zhao Xi likes the most.

The detailed situation naturally has a memorial. Su Song's behavior is really a manifestation of his true temperament, and it is also a true manifestation of a scientist who is obsessed with science.

"Officials, minister Menglang..."

Su Song also felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't restrain his excitement.

"Zirong, I understand, and understand! You wait to rest first, leave the memorial, take care of your body, adjust your condition... the court needs you!"

Zhao Xi was also brought into an atmosphere of mood swings...
