The prince of the regent wants to recruit migrant workers to build the river embankment.

The people are naturally happy, but the decision of such matters has nothing to do with them.

As soon as Lu Hui heard the news, he hurriedly went to look for Sima Guang.

"Junshi, at the beginning of the Northern Expedition, money and food were spent like flowing water. If it lasted for a month, Sansi would also have a headache."

As soon as he entered the duty room, he looked for tea and complained.

Sima Guang sat quietly by the window and looked at him quietly.

After drinking tea, Lu Hui sat down and touched his beard, "If you want to repair the river embankment, you have to at least send tens of thousands of people? Tens of thousands of people eat and use it, how much does it cost to eat? It's just that Qinghuang is not in charge. Once the Northern Expedition is delayed, then... Han Jiang will probably go crazy."

The spring rain outside the window was drizzling. Sima Guang reached out to look it out. He didn't have enough rain, and felt that it was full of moisture.

"Han Jiang objected." Sima Guang said lightly: "Zeng Gongliang and others do not agree."

Lu Hui said happily: "That's right." He suddenly lowered his voice, "Responsible for the country and the country, you can't do what you shouldn't do. Now you have to tell him that it is the only way to know the rules..."

Sima Guang was murmur.

"The Censorate, someone has come from the palace, and the king summons him."

Sima Guang stood up and said, "Young people are always energetic."

Lu Hui stood up and accompanied him out, and smiled and said, "It's frigid, you're frigid, what are you talking about? "

Later, Sima Guang entered the palace.

All the important officials arrived.

This is the meaning of opening the door to discuss matters, and it can also avoid suspicion.

Zeng Gongliang looked at Zhao Xu with complicated eyes. He hesitated about this matter, and he hoped that Zhao Xu would give up this idea.

It's not just about money and food.

More...

The official family is fighting in the front, and you are dragging your back. This is a very bad nature. If you don’t do it well, it will be a suspicion of father and son.

Once the father and son are suspicious, it will be impossible to return to their original state.

This is the main reason for his opposition.

He glanced at Wang Anshi.

Wang Anshi went on duty, "King, there is a lot of rain this spring. I asked me to check it out, because there is a possibility of heavy flooding. I think it is time to repair the river embankment and ask me to patrol the defense."

Zhao Xu nodded slightly.

He looked very calm, without any excitement, without any ambition, without any timidity.

Didn't he know that this was a taboo?

Zeng Gongliang has never understood this king.

After leaving the house, the king began to lie on a long time, and he didn't say anything when he encountered something. His limited number of attacks were stable, accurate and ruthless, and he did not give others the chance to stab him.

Why do such a prince insist on his own initiative?

Why!

He felt a little regretful and couldn't help but reach forward.

His hand fell out.

Han Qi is not here, but I don’t even have a place to let go!

He was a little depressed.

But more of it is impossible to make decisions.

Only now did he realize the difficulties of the Prime Minister.

decisive!

In many cases, the Prime Minister's statement is to take risks.

Sima Guang is out of work.

"King, spring rain is continuous, and heavy water is inevitable. However, the embankment of the Yellow River has been repaired over the years, so there is no rush for a moment, right?"

This argument is the most marketable.

When you get a flood, you say you will burst the dam. So why did you do repairing it in previous years?

Zhao Xu said: "It may not necessarily break the dike, but once the dike breaks... Hebei Road, the surrounding country of Bianliang will become a Ze country. So, which one is more important?"

At this moment, some money and food are used to repair the river embankment. Compared with the losses after the dam break, who is lighter and who is heavier?

this……

Sima Guang couldn't answer.

Because everyone knows the answer.

If the dam breaks, the loss will be so great that it is impossible to compare with the expenses of the Northern Expedition.

In history, the emperor and ministers of the Song Dynasty were so crazy that the Yellow River mother was angry, and then Hebei Road became a Zeguo. Until the Jin people rose to the south, Hebei Road still did not recover its vitality, which was a model of self-harm.

Liu Zhanteng said: "My king, I don't know if the Yellow River breaks its dam, but if the Northern Expedition goes wrong, the Liao people will go south in large numbers, and then..."

"This Northern Expedition is the first battle in a century, and everything has to avoid the way."

"As for breaking the dam, let's wait until the water level is high, it's not too late to take action."

"Your Majesty is looking forward to the victory of the soldiers in the north, so Bianliang must not act rashly!"

All kinds of opposition came out for a moment

Zhao Xu took a look, but fortunately the prime ministers didn't say anything.

Wen Yanbo hesitated for a moment, and still went out to work and said, "Master, you need to be more careful in this matter."

His statement was implicit, but his opposition was obvious.

A minister without a position will have no good result and will be marginalized.

Wen Yanbo is familiar with this, so he will naturally not mix with the slightest.

The sound gradually disappeared.

Everyone was watching Zhao Xu.

The opposition is so loud, so forget it.

Zhao Xu said calmly: "What is the Northern Expedition? The news has not yet arrived, but I believe in the soldiers. Some people say that it is better not to move than to put the Northern Expedition first. This is lazy government and this is mediocre officials!"

boom!

The court exploded immediately.

How about Zhao Xu?

When everyone sees him being in charge of politics on weekdays, they don’t say a word, say no, and express their opinions. It’s okay to take action several times.

This is what everyone thinks of Zhao Xu.

But who would have thought that he would throw out a gunpowder jar at this moment, which made the court stunned?

Am I a mediocre official?

Am I waiting for lazy politics?

Sima Guang was murmur.

Lu Hui was slightly angry.

The anger is gradually getting depressed.

The one above is just a prince, and you will swear at him. What are you afraid of?

So someone came out and said, "Don't you regard your ministers as ministers?"

"I read the history books and any stupidity must start by humiliating my subordinates!"

This is a candidate who compared Zhao Xu to a foolish monarch.

The firepower is very fierce!

Zhao Xu was bombed for a while, and after everyone calmed down, he said lightly: "Where is the responsibility?"

This one hit everyone's seven inches with one stick.

"You are waiting to oppose repairing the river embankment. If the Yellow River breaks the dam, where are you waiting?"

If the Yellow River breaks its dam, the north will become a country of marsh.

"When the army was over triumphal, they found that there were floods along the way. When His Majesty planned the war in Daming Mansion, the flood had already rushed into the city..."

Ahem!

Someone is coughing.
