A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 333: Foolish monarchs and ministers

The Imperial City Department was originally an organization for inquiring about information about enemy countries, but later it gradually had many more functions.

For example, monitor Bianliang.

But it is not their duty to fight corruption. If they dare to investigate official corruption, Zhang Bianba will definitely be impeached by the officials until his death.

Civil servants have their own circles. They give the emperor face because no one is convinced by anyone, so they need a boss to support them and serve as a spiritual leader.

Bao Zheng's arrival gave everyone a headache, and they didn't know how to receive this old man.

Zhang Baibian came forward in person and arranged Bao Zheng in his own room.

"Everyone knows that Bao Zheng looks very angry. How about inviting a doctor?"

Bao Zheng was always angry, and some people were worried that something might happen, but Zhang Bianba nodded calmly.

He stood opposite the duty room, surrounded by several petty bosses.

Seeing that he was stunned, a small leader said: "You know, I heard that Bao Zheng has offended the officials and is going to be sent down. At his age, I am afraid he will never come back. Why should we ask for medical treatment for him?" When outsiders heard this, they thought you and Bao Zheng had an old relationship, and they would be angry when the time comes..."

He took a peek and saw that Zhang had not been angry for eight years, so he smiled and said: "We just don't care. I guess as long as Bao Zheng doesn't die here, it will naturally have nothing to do with us."

He said this loudly, and Bao Zheng, who was on duty, heard it and walked to the door and said, "I can't die, and you, a traitor like you, can't live forever."

The little boss was stunned, and then said angrily: "You are not a traitor!"

You cannot wear the hat of being a traitor; if you put it on, you will never be able to take it off.

And Bao Zheng offended the emperor, offended the prime minister, and from now on he will be like a rat crossing the street. Everyone shouts to beat him, I am afraid of you!

Bao Zheng sneered and said: "Keep a close eye on your words and flattery. I've seen people like you a lot. If you have the ability, kill me, otherwise you'll look good on me!"

Getting angry!

Bao Zheng finally got angry. He turned to Zhang Bianba and said, "The Imperial City Department cannot get involved in such matters. I will go to the meeting later to report, otherwise the Song Dynasty will be in chaos."

Zhang Baoba ignored Bao Zheng at all, but the little boss thought it was disdain, so he said sternly: "We are officials, what can't we get involved in?"

"Ignorance, ignorance!"

Bao Zheng was anxious. He was worried that the DPRK would decide to dredge the Ergu River, and it would be difficult to reverse the situation at that time.

Once a king has made a decision, it is difficult to take it back, otherwise it will be a blow to his prestige.

Bao Zheng was venting his anxiety, but the little leader was angry and said angrily: "We are already in the Imperial City Division, what are you proud of? I'll see if you can still be proud when you are exiled in a few days."

"I want to go out!"

Bao Zheng was a little anxious.

Zhang Baba shook his head and said coldly: "I'm sorry, you can't go anywhere without an official family!"

The little boss said proudly: "That's right."

Beating up a drowned dog is an instinctive thing that makes people feel happy both physically and mentally.

The account books were handed over, but Shen An still didn't leave.

Zhao Zhen said displeased: "What are you still doing here?"

Shen An said: "Your Majesty, please stop dredging the Ergu River."

Knew it!

Everyone looked at each other and felt as if they had a pearl of wisdom in their hands.

This person really came here for Bao Zheng.

Zhao Zhen said coldly: "This matter cannot be discussed. I have my own rules."

Chapter your sister!

Shen An really wanted to curse, but this was the imperial court.

He resisted the urge and said, "I must say this."

Without waiting for Zhao Zhen to speak, he said hurriedly: "The Ergu River cannot be dredged!"

Fu Bi finally got angry and said, "Why can't it be dredged?"

"Because the Liao people can't defeat us!"

This is a slap!

Aren't you just worried that the Yellow River will change its course to the north, causing Bianliang to lose its barrier?

Then I'll give you a slap.

"nonsense!"

It felt very uncomfortable to have my timidity discovered.

Shen An sneered: "So what if the Yellow River is here? Don't the Liao people know how to use boats to cross the river?"

Later, when the Jin people crossed the Yellow River, it was very simple. They just searched for boats nearby. There were only a few boats and they could not pass many people at one time.

But the Jin people crossed the river in such a swagger, and the Song Dynasty didn't even notice.

"Where the Yellow River is is not a problem. The problem of the Song Dynasty is why it could not revitalize its military force. It would rather torment the Yellow River and turn Hebei into a country, but it refused to revitalize its military force. Why?"

You are messing around with the Yellow River all day long. Do your ancestors know?

The three torments of the Yellow River caused endless harm, and they were still suffering from it until the Yuan and Ming Dynasties.

This is really the fearlessness of the ignorant!

Shen An really admires these monarchs and ministers.

During the Zhenzong period, Li Chui made the judgment that "the Yellow River will turn increasingly northward" and suggested action. However, the emperors and ministers of the Zhenzong Dynasty felt that there were too many unknown possibilities and were too troublesome, so they did not move.

But in the Renzong Dynasty, all this changed.

Zhao Zhen raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said coldly: "What do you want to say?"

The next place to go to the Imperial City Division has been reserved by Shen An.

The officials were angry.

Shen An said: "What I want to say is...who knows the reason for the siltation of the Ergu River, and who knows why the Yellow River changed its course to the north."

"Do you know?"

Zhao Zhen stood with his hands behind his hands and asked angrily.

Shen An nodded, "I know."

You are all scum!

Shen An shook his head and said: "Because of the terrain of the Ergu River, the terrain there is upward. And the Yellow River changes its course to the north, because it is condescending to the north..."

Do you understand?

They are a bunch of pig-brained people who talk nonsense without investigation and research. If they don’t get enough of it once, they want to do it a second time.

Well……

Fu Bi wanted to squirt, but found that he couldn't.

Why?

Because he didn't investigate.

But he is the Prime Minister, so he has the right to refuse without giving reasons.

"Young men are talking about state affairs!"

Fu Bi used his authority to suppress others, and the ministers and ministers felt secretly happy.

This is the stage at the top of the Song Dynasty. Without status and status, you can only listen from the sidelines.

Otherwise, why would everyone work so hard to get promoted?

The zaifu is the zaifu. The one who can decide state affairs together with the emperor is the zaifu.

You are such a young person!

Shen An was not afraid under these eyes. He said solemnly: "I dare not forget about my country despite my humble position!"

The atmosphere changed instantly.

My official position is low, but I am worried about the Song Dynasty, can't I?

The officials have granted me the right to go to court and listen to government affairs. Can't I express my opinion?

Fu Bi's face turned red and he said, "You haven't gone to see it, how can you know?"

Everyone nodded one after another. You want to stop this matter with empty words, but there is no way!

Shen An didn't say anything more and said calmly: "Just go and check. If it's not right, Shen will resign voluntarily."

Well!

If this was a gamble, then Shen An had lost all his bets.

He stared at Fu Bi: Do you dare?

Fu Bi did not dare, and all the prime ministers and ministers did not dare to bet their own futures.

"Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position……"

With these words, Shen An immediately threw the label of mentally retarded all over the hall.

Do you understand this?

A group of prime ministers and assistants were made uncomfortable by these words. But Shen An felt even more uncomfortable.

He didn't know why these people turned a blind eye to that common sense, so he couldn't help but said: "Back then, the Yellow River was two hundred paces wide, but the Liuta River was only forty paces wide. This is like a fat man trying to escape from a dog. Can he get out of the hole?"

This was a blow to common sense, but Fu Bi frowned and said, "The flow will flow faster and it will pass naturally."

This is pure illiteracy!

Shen An was furious and said: "The same amount of river water has to be squeezed through a river channel that is 20% wide. Come on, Prime Minister, how about we try it?"

"How to try?"

Fu Bi was obviously angry too.

Shen An said: "It's simple, just pick a flowing river outside the city, and then re-open it diagonally, that is, change its channel, but the river channel can only be 20% of the original width, how about that?"

Fu Bi said confidently: "Okay!"

So refreshing!

Shen An shook his head, thinking that you guys are really rubbish, and you will have a joke when the time comes.

Isn't this how these guys decided to change the route of Liuta River? Ouyang Xiu tried hard to persuade him, saying that the 20% wide river was impassable, but no one listened.

Shen An suddenly felt that his future had a long way to go and he was very tired.

But he immediately thought of Zhao Zhongzhen.

That's the young man brought out by my brother, who will surprise you old men when the time comes.

He felt proud again, but the ministers and assistants were depressed.

Zeng Gongliang felt depressed and said, "Your Majesty, give it a try."

Madan! If the result is wrong, Shen An... don't even think about entering officialdom again!

But this will take a lot of time. Zhao Zhen said noncommittally: "Where can I try it?"

He originally wanted to act arbitrarily, but he remembered the hermit from Mang Mountain, so he changed his mind temporarily.

It was Zhao Zhen today. If it were any other emperor, Shen An would have been kicked out long ago.

Fu Bi glanced at Shen An and said: "The entrance to the Bianhe River outside the city is next to the waterway leading to Jinmingchi. It is about 700 steps and can be dug directly. The width is only 20% of the Bianhe River. It's just a small matter. "

Seven hundred steps, which in later generations would be about a little more than 800 meters, and 20% of the width of the Bian River. This amount of work is not a big deal.

At this time, Zhao Zhen felt a little uneasy. He thought of the civilians who were drowned after the Liuta River burst its banks, and the countless supplies... There is also the tragic situation of Hebei Road being flooded.

Is it really wrong?

He nodded with difficulty and said: "Mobilize manpower as soon as possible."

He didn't want to wait for a moment and wished he could see the verification results right away.

Shen An bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Bao is old. In the Imperial City Department... I am afraid that I will frighten him. When the time comes..."

In the Imperial City Department, Zhang went out for business in the eighth year, and the task of guarding Bao Zheng fell on several leaders.

The little boss stood under the eaves and said anxiously: "When will this end!"

Bao Zheng stood opposite, looking deeply into the void.

He knew that after he was brought in, something might happen.

Shen An, you must not enter the palace.

Shen An's temperament seems to be gentle, but Bao Zheng knows that he is the most staunch one. If he gets upset, the second courtier who roars at the imperial court will appear.

But you don’t have that capital. If the officials get angry, the two of us will have no choice but to meet in the Imperial City Department.

"Shen An has entered the palace!"

Someone comes with the latest news.

"idiot!"

Bao Zheng couldn't help but curse.

The leader said proudly: "How about I just say this is bad?"

Time passed and the cicadas kept chirping, making Bao Zheng upset and angry.

The leader kept chattering to himself, which made him even more angry.

"The first thing I do when I go out is to kill you!"

At this moment, Zhao Yun was possessed and Bao Zheng became angry.

The leader was not angry, he just smiled and said: "Who has ever seen an important minister enter the Imperial City? You are lucky to be able to retire and return home."

The few bosses on the side shook their heads. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net felt that Bao Zheng wanted to show off his authority after entering this place, which was really crazy.

There was a sound of rapid footsteps.

"who?"

Everyone turned around to look, Bao Zheng frowned and looked...

Shen An just rushed in, sweating profusely.

He rushed in and smiled when he saw Bao Zheng.

Sweat has wet his front...

I had a gastroscopy, and my stomach and duodenal ulcers... I need to take medicine slowly to recover. My eyes turn green after eating porridge, and I always unconsciously want to write about delicious food while writing. What should I do?

I have stomachache and can't concentrate even looking at the computer screen.

On the first day of this month, I urge book friends to vote for the man with a guaranteed monthly vote!
