"Du Chong is not guilty." Looking at Zhang Chengbo who was sitting on the Lord, Du Chong replied proudly.

"You burned the baggage, fled in the face of battle, and the defeated soldiers plundered the place... don't you know your crime?"

"My grandfather once said that if he did not dig a river and if the court punished him, he would be treated as such. Should he regret it?"

"You don't let you dig the river, and you will burn food and leave. It's so outrageous."

"My husband said this and he had to go back on his word and was not responsible." Du Chong said, "I'm afraid I can't help but have already written to the court to let the court judge right and wrong."

This is already Zheng County, and you can travel back and forth within one day from Bianliang. Du Chong arrived one day first, and I think he had already sent the seal to the court.

Under the eyes of the court, Zhang Chengbo did not want to leave a domineering reputation. He said hatefully: "Okay, wait for me to write to the court and let the court deal with it."

The court has received three stamps: one is the bulletin stamp that Zhang Sui, who was transferred by Hu Yangeng, impeached Du Chong by Du Chong, who was good at digging the Yellow River, the other is Du Chong impeached Zhang Chengbo and interfered in military affairs, causing the fall of Xiangzhou, and the other is the last one. Zhang Chengbo impeached Du Chong and escaped in the battle and wanted to punish him.

The Censor Zhang was the Censor. His bullet stamp was passed on to the Censorate and passed it directly to the imperial court. The first thing Zhao Chen saw was this bullet stamp. He was learning to be the emperor and left the bullet stamp first.

On the morning court day, Zhao Chen remained silent and waited for the ministers to report the matter. The ministers and officials would report the few things that were not painful and wait for the emperor's imperial criticism.

Seeing that no one mentioned Du Chong or Zhang Chengbo, Zhao Chen endured it for more than an hour and finally couldn't help but speak, "Hebei West Road recruits the Pacifier, and the Palace Censor Zhang Su impeaches the Pacifier of the Prime Minister Du Chong, the family of the ministers knows the whole story."

Hearing this, Huang Qianshan looked up at Li Gang.

After they received the stamp of Zhang Chengbo and Du Chong attacking each other, Huang Qianshan was in trouble.

Zhang Chengbo was once the Dudu Transportation Commissioner of Hebei. Du Chongxian served in Cangzhou and then fled to Daming. They joined Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan during the siege of Jingkang, and they gathered under King Kang Zhao Gou. They were all counselors of the Hebei Marshal's Office and were all considered Kang Party in a broad sense.

Whether it was recommending Du Chong as the successor Zong Ze as the pacification envoy, or recommending Zhang Chengbo as the commander of the Dahe River, and going to Hejian to inspect the heavens, it was all Huang Qianshan's efforts to strengthen the Hebei Gang's strength. In Huang Qianshan's view, the prime minister included himself and Zhang Chengbo, Du Chong and Zhang Yiqian on the front line of Hebei, and Wang Boyan in the south. A closely connected "Hebei Gang" has already taken shape.

When Zhang Chengbo took the opportunity of patrol to eradicate Hu Yangeng, the Hebei Gang became an invincible force from the Secretariat to the local government, from civil officials to military generals.

But unexpectedly, the letter handed over by Zhang Chengbo was not impeaching Hu Yangeng, but an internal strife with Du Chong.

Zhang Chengbo and Du Chong's stamp were handed to the capital hall through the Jintai Division. The four prime ministers in Beijing almost saw these two stamps together. When Li Gang saw these two stamps, he remembered the report sent by Hu Yangeng. He asked Huang Qianshan: "Huang Zuocheng, do you think what is right or wrong in this matter?"

Huang Qianshan was speechless for a moment and said for a while: "Gong-gong Li, let me speak with you."

When the two went outside, Huang Qianshan said, "Zhang Youcheng and Du Anfu are all loyal ministers. They must misunderstand. I should advise them to endure each other and serve as the country."

Li Gang said: "Zhang Youcheng was able to raise 500,000 jin in one month, and is a recognized capable minister. It is not necessarily true that Du Fu appeases. He first lost his reputation and then abandoned Xiangzhou..."

"Mr.," Huang Qianshan almost begged, "The loss of all the West Road in Hebei is entirely supported by Du Chong. No matter who is right or wrong, it is not appropriate to recall Du Gongmei back to Bianliang."

"What is Huang Zuocheng's opinion?"

"Let everyone do their duties in the East and West Roads of Hebei, and everyone is patient and tolerate each other for their country." Huang Qianshan mentioned Hebei East Road, which means that he would not pursue Zhang Yiqian's affairs, and let Hu Yangeng and Du Chong fool him together.

Li Gang thought about it and said that the Hebei generals should not change easily at the moment. He agreed to Huang Qianshan to suppress it first this time and wait for the Jin soldiers to retreat before making a decision.

Afterwards, Li Gang obtained the consent of He Li and Sun Fu, and the two seals were temporarily left in the capital hall. If no one of the magistrates mentioned it, the matter would have passed. But unexpectedly, Zhao Chen mentioned it in the court.

Seeing Huang Qianshan looking at him, Li Gang stood up and said calmly: "Du Chong wanted to dig a river and flooded the Jin soldiers. There was something wrong with him, and he thought that the right chief Zhang Xu was blocked."

"Why did Zhang Zhizheng stop him?"

"It is hard to say how many Jin soldiers can be flooded in Xiangzhou. People on both sides of the Yellow River will be displaced."

"According to what Li Xiang said, how many people will be harmed by digging a river?"

"The people on both sides of the river will suffer all their harm."

"All the harms? How many people are there?" Zhao Chen became serious. This was the young emperor who was not familiar with government affairs. He asked casually, but he stumped Li Gang.

Li Gang was a famous minister, but the reason why he was famous and respected was his integrity and integrity, not his ability to manage government affairs. How many people would be displaced by digging the Yellow River? This is an engineering problem, far beyond the level that the "common affairs" of the Song Dynasty could achieve.

Seeing that Li Gang was actually stopped, Zhao Chen was so energetic: "If I dig a river in Xiangzhou, how many Jin soldiers could be drowned? Haven't my husband asked?"

Huang Qianshan felt that it was an opportunity: "I have advice."

Zhao Chen turned his head and said, "My dear, please tell me."

"I think that digging water to attack the enemy has existed since ancient times. Although the number of killing enemies and the number of people being killed is not clear, it is feasible to flood the seven armies here. Du Chang can quickly find out."

"If you dig a river, the people will suffer." Li Gang said angrily, "How could Huang Zuocheng use this unkind plan?"

"Li Xianggong, the person who flooded the seven armies was Guan Yunchang. The wise praised him and said, Guan Yunchang had the righteousness of spring and autumn. How could such a kind-hearted and righteous person not be kind?

Li Gang was still arguing, and Zhao Chen said, "Goodie Li, I think this is a clever plan." Zhao Chen's face was shining: "Goodie Li can ask Gyeonggi Province to visit and check to see how many people are victimized, and then move them away."

Huang Qianshan said: "Your Majesty is kind and kind, and you will only let the people move away, and the news will be leaked."

"What do the ruling thought?"

"Du Chong's chapter says, 'We must use countless unknown Guan Yuncheng to achieve a famous Guan Yuncheng'."

"This matter is inappropriate." Zhao Chen stopped Huang Qianshan.

Li Gang thought things had turned around, so he flattered: "Your Majesty's Holy Wisdom."

Zhao Chen said: "After all, Guan Yu is a minister, how can he seek fame? It should be 'make a famous Liu Xuande with countless unknown Guan Yunchang'." Speaking of this, Zhao Chen stood up: "In the past, Emperor Wu of Han had the plan of Mayi, but failed. If I had ordered troops for the first time, I could flood the seven armies, and my achievements would be far better than Emperor Wu of Han."

Li Gang found that the situation was wrong. Didn’t it mean that Zhang Chengbo and Du Chong impeached each other? How did it become a strategy to dig a river? Li Gang advised: "This move to dig a river is unkind. Once implemented, it will greatly lose the hearts of the people."

Li Gang did not notice the recent changes in Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen was full of imitation of Emperor Wu of Han and avenged his ninth generation of revenge. As for the people, "Gong Gong Li was worried too much. When Emperor Wu of Han, every family raised horses and killed them when they had children. Now the people only remember to seal the wolf and the servants. As long as I really eliminated the Jin thieves, the people will only remember my wonderful strategy of flooding the Jin soldiers."

The Emperors of the Zhao family, regardless of the previous generations, had all neglected problems since the Emperor of the Shenzong Zhao Suo. They were not concerned about the life and death of the people, but when they had more important goals in their hearts, they did not realize the impact on the people at all. For example, Zhao Ji's flower stone gang, he thought it was some useless stones that would not cause harm to anyone, and he did not deliberately instruct Zhu Mian to force the people to lose their entire family.

Similarly, Zhao Chen was fascinated by the achievements of "transcending Hanwu", and he had no time to consider the issues of the people. In short, the emperors in the late Northern Song Dynasty made some harmful decisions because of their lack of administrative experience, and the root cause was "stupidity" in a certain aspect, not really bad.

As a fourteen-year-old boy, he had no idea of ​​the harm caused to the people by digging the Yellow River and did not care. Li Gang had to care. If he did not stop him, his reputation would be spread for eight hundred years until another time appeared, and more people would dig the Yellow River and start to dig it.

Li Gang advised him bitterly. Zhao Chen said: "Let the Secretary of the Central Committee make the lyrics."

Sun Fu was the Minister of the Secretariat, so he did not dare to let the emperor dig the Yellow River, so he returned the poem. The Secretary of the Secretariat did not make the poem, so the procedure could not go down. Zhao Chen was furious and was about to scold the priests and the meeting, but when he saw Li Gang standing below like water, he shrank again.

This matter ended up being unsuccessful and the court scattered. Huang Qianshan left first, walked in a sedan chair for a while and then returned, asking for a meeting with the emperor at the palace gate.

Zhao Chen summoned Huang Qianshan and said, "Gong Gong Li doesn't think about how to kill the Jin thieves. Jin says some pedantic words. If the Jin thieves do not retreat, the people will not be destroyed by the water, and they will be destroyed by the enemy."

"The emperor is wise, but my husband is also a kind word." Huang Qianshan helped Li Gang speak.

"Li Xiang often runs to his beloved, and he doesn't care about his past grudges. Instead, he helps Li Xiang talk to him, and he is just a righteous person."

"The emperor is wise and wise, but the ministers dare not harm official business because of personal grudges."

"I am humble and have neglected you in the past."

"I don't dare." After being humble, Huang Qianshan began to talk about the main topic: "Your Majesty, I think it is feasible to dig rivers and destroy the enemy."

Zhao Chen curled his lips and said, "What's the use of telling me? "I'm sorry that the Secretariat does not write an edict. Everyone only cares about their own reputation and has no intention of national affairs."

"The Secretariat cannot write an order for this matter." Huang Qianshan also defended Sun Fu, "If a river is dug, more or less, the people will always be harmed. If the order comes from the Secretariat, everyone will know that it is Your Majesty's idea, and this resentment belongs to the Emperor."

"What should I do if I think I should do?"

"Please use your Majesty to issue a handwritten letter, and I will let Du Chong do it. After the work is completed, the merit will be given to Your Majesty, and the resent will be given to Du Chong."

"Since that's the case, why bother to write a handwritten book? Isn't it okay for my dear to tell Du Chong directly?"

"I am afraid that pedantic ministers will make a bad thing, so I will denounce them with the letter from His Majesty."

"What should I do if they leaked it was my order?" Zhao Chen was still a little afraid of leaving a bad reputation.
Chapter completed!
