Chapter 193 Chaos in the Storm

Life is so watery, and it has been watery for several months.

Sun Yue, who was idle at home and was careless, was addicted to the strategy of Twelve Golden Flowers, could no longer extricate himself. He was so happy to play. Although no one had succeeded in the past few months, he was not in a hurry at all. Anyway, he would not be able to use the strategy even after the strategy was released.

Perhaps Sun Yue should be glad that he lost the Privy Council, otherwise he would probably go crazy again at this time.

Because in the court, a huge storm came without warning and swept almost everyone.

Zhao Guangyi was indignant and pointed at Zhao Pu's nose passionately and cursed: "Why did he mobilize eleven prefects, forty-six county magistrates, and the disaster relief plan that the three departments and six ministries took over half a month to be done? More than 100,000 hungry people in Huainan are hungry and unable to feed. Are you still playing the ball with me again and again? The surname Zhao, is your conscience eaten by the dog? Are you still worthy of the official uniform you are wearing?"

Zhao Pu smiled indifferently and said, "The Second King, your plan is too much. Do you really not know how much the court has saved in the past two years? For example, the military rations of Jiangling were prepared to attack Shu. If you all provide relief to the people of Huainan as you said, will Shu still be attacked? Meng Chang's wolfish ambition is all the children of Huangkou. What if he fights? Do you want the soldiers to fight on hungry? Mr. Shen, you are in charge of our Song Dynasty's money bags. You said, can the court bear the disaster relief like the Second King?"

Shen Yilun smiled bitterly and said, "This... Ha, the situation of the Ministry of Revenue is indeed quite nervous now. Compared to the fact that he just used troops to Hu-Nan and Jingnan this year, not only did he have no income, but he also reduced their tea tax. In addition, the rewards of soldiers and troubled Tubo, he was indeed a bit ineffective. But what the two kings said makes sense. Huainan has a huge amount of hungry people nowadays. If the imperial court does not do anything, they will go hungry. In the past two years, there have been a lot of wars in Huainan. Every household has no spare grain, and the people are not in favor of the people. If they cannot see the court's kindness to them, it may not be good. If there is any chaos, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Zhao Guangyi said angrily: "Isn't this fart? Then you say, is this money spent?"

"The second king, I just take care of the money. As for how to spend the money, the government will decide it."

Zhao Guangyi was anxious and glared at this guy viciously, without caring about the courtesy of the king and his subjects, and said directly: "Brother! The disaster is in a hurry, so you can't delay it anymore!"

Zhao Pu also said: "Officials, military information is more urgent than disaster."

Zhao Guangyi: "Then you say, will the disaster in Huainan be saved?"

Zhao Pu said, "Save, you must save it. The question is how to save it. Your plan is not possible. The official family also has a disaster relief plan. Please check it out. I think that the great famine in Huainan is a good time to recruit soldiers. As long as you choose their strong army, the disaster will naturally be alleviated. Even if there is a big trouble, there will be no big trouble. In addition, the food for disaster relief? I think I can borrow it from the Southern Tang Dynasty. When the disaster situation passes in the future, the people of Huainan will repay it. If the Southern Tang Dynasty does not borrow it, it is just right to use these newly recruited soldiers to teach them a lesson."

Zhao Kuangyin opened Zhao Pu's note, smiled bitterly, and asked the eunuch to hand it to Zhao Guangyi again and said, "Second brother, take a look."

Zhao Guangyi took the memorial and his face turned black like the bottom of the pot.

In this game, he lost again. It is obvious that almost nothing in the current national affairs can be separated from military affairs. Therefore, Zhao Pu can be considered his duty no matter how he plays. Objectively speaking, Zhao Pu's disaster relief plan seems to be slightly better than him, because he also knows that the treasury has no money.

But Zhao Pu had already made plans, and even the Privy Council had been making plans in this regard, but he didn't even give himself any wind. This was obviously intentional!

Zhao Kuangyin rubbed his temples and said helplessly: "Old Shen, please see if there are any mistakes."

Chen Yilun took the memorial, but was not in a hurry to see it. Instead, he glanced at Zhao Guangyi first, and saw that he was willing to accept it, so he breathed a sigh of relief. He finished reading it with almost a glance, and then said: "I think that Zhao Shumi is the words of a certain country. In this way, the pressure on the national treasury will be greatly reduced, so I can save my worries."

"Well, then okay, then do it like this. I am tired and leave the court."

All civil and military officials came out one after another. Today's scattered dynasty was much quieter than before. No one whispered to each other, but instead walked away quickly.

Instead, Zhao Pu walked to Zhao Guangyi with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work, and I also know that the second king has been working hard for this disaster relief for several days. Why don't I treat you to Fengle Tower, let's have a drink?"

Chen Yilun immediately came over to smooth things over and said, "Yes, the latest from Fengle Tower has created a lychee-flavored beer. It is said that the response is good. It is rare for Zhao Shumi to treat him. The second king, let's try it?"

Zhao Guangyi snorted coldly: "I am busy with things, not as idle as you."

As he said that, Zhao Guangyi shook his sleeves and left without looking back, leaving only Chen Yilun with a wry smile, and Zhao Pu who looked indifferent. "Mr. Chen, since the two kings are inconvenient, why not let's have a drink and talk about this disaster relief by the way."

"This...well."

All of this was naturally seen by Zhao Kuangyin, and he could only sigh helplessly in his heart.

His younger brother is still too young after all, compared to Zhao Pu.

In fact, Zhao Kuangyin has been prepared for all this today. He is not a child. There is no disputed court in this world. The era when Zhao Pu's family dominated must be passed. This is also his need. Unfortunately, his younger brother is a bit unfair. Even if he is a little offensive, he can't beat others.

There is nothing I can do about this. Zhao Guangyi is actually very outstanding. After all, before the founding of the Song Dynasty, he was just a playboy. He has always seen what he did over the years and has really worked hard. Unfortunately, he was facing the scheming Zhao Pu. If he wanted to compete with him, he might have to be tempered for a few years.

At this time, the Song Dynasty was still very different from the later ones. The Zhengshi Hall is almost an empty shell now. Fan, Wang and Wei are also sensible and say nothing about anything. However, as long as it involves people, soldiers, and money, they will not leave any farts, so almost 90% of the power is in the hands of the Privy Council.

Because of his special status, Zhao Guangyi has always had a good relationship with the pure civil servants in the court. What's more important is that he also has the title of the Zhongshu Ling, so the pure civil servant group is basically surrounded by his wings. Although his power is still very weak compared to Zhao Pu, Zhao Kuangyin can be dissatisfied.

Unfortunately, the gap between the two is still a bit big. Zhao Pu is too scheming, and he is so scheming that Zhao Kuangyin wants to fight against him sometimes he doesn't know where to pull him up. Chen Yilun is also a good man who will not offend anyone, so in the court, Zhao Pu's family is still the dominant family. Zhao Guangyi, the Zhongshu Ling, seems to have no use. Instead, the civil and military officials are very troubled when facing these two big bosses who are fighting more and more frequently.

What Sun Yue feared the most was still happening.
