Fan Chunren glanced at his colleagues at the headquarters and took the order to leave.
He couldn't explain clearly how he felt when he left, it was very complicated.
Disappointed? It doesn't seem too obvious. He has no hope for the performance of the courtiers, so there is no hope.
Colleagues only see interests, not right and wrong. He knows this very well. From his father's time to now, there is not much difference in the court.
The only difference is that today's officials are more assertive, more prestigious, and more capable.
Fan Chunren was loyal to the official family. He was taught by his father since he was a child. The most important thing was that the official family realized his father's lifelong ideal. On this point, he voluntarily dedicated his life to the official family.
Fan Chunren has heard about it, and heard that the officials said with emotion: Because he was young, he could not influence Mr. Fan's affairs, which was a regret in his life! This is what the officials said when resolving Di Qing's dilemma.
Fan Chunren is not good at expressing himself, and can only make his ambition clear through actions.
As for the dynasty not killing scholar-bureaucrats, that's right. But there are clearer ways to kill people than beheading.
For example, his own father, at an advanced age, changed jobs every year and was displaced all the time...
The current actions of the officials made him very relieved.
Fan Chunren thought in his mind that during the years when his father was transferred to other posts, every transfer order would probably be like this in the court... everyone was silent.
Fan Chunren was also a member of the scholar-bureaucrat class. His identity as a scholar-official, his memory of his father, his loyalty to the official family, and his behavior towards his accompanying ministers... were all intertwined, making him very complicated.
"Officials and dynasties do not kill scholar-bureaucrats..."
Fan Chunren left, and someone spoke up, but not loudly.
Zhao Xi glanced... Oh, Huazhou people, Lu Huan, the Minister of Rites. Very good, I'm just waiting for you to speak out.
"Do I want to kill him? Shilang Lu, who caused the dam collapse in Huazhou, can I even ask him to apologize to the people of Huazhou?"
"Then tell me! Is it true that as long as you are a scholar-bureaucrat, you can do whatever you want in the Song Dynasty? Corruption of 150,000 yuan has turned the entire Huazhou into a vast ocean, and the lives and deaths of millions of people are unknown..."
"You can't kill. Does that mean you can't even punish?... Mr. Lu, how about you become an official?"
These words are heartwarming.
All the ministers present knew that the official family was on the verge of an explosion. This was also the reason why the important ministers did not speak.
At this time, it is not the best way to do it. After all, the officials have not ordered Linghu Jiu to be executed. As long as he is not dead, it is not too late to wait for the officials to lose their anger and plead for mercy. Maybe Linghu Jiu's life can be saved.
Seeing the current situation in Huazhou and thinking about the reasons, everyone is angry. Otherwise, everyone would not say those angry words in the first place.
However, at that time everyone thought that this matter only involved businessmen.
Later, it involved the governor of Huazhou, which meant that all of their ministers were involved... Who is not like this?
"Your Majesty, I don't dare. I think that Linghu has been leading the disaster response in Huazhou City for a long time. Changing the generals at the last moment will not be conducive to Huazhou's fight against floods...~"
After Lu Huan said these words, Han Qi closed his eyes, Wang Anshi shook his head helplessly, and all the ministers who understood looked at Lu Huan...
This sentence blocked the only opportunity.
Originally, everyone was thinking that Fan Chunren was a civil servant and a scholar-bureaucrat, but now Huazhou is surrounded by water again.
And Linghu had been in Huazhou City for a long time, supervising the Yamen's execution of the imperial orders that were tied before the dam broke, and he could only rely on the merchants.
When the flood subsides and the anger of the officials subsides, there will be a glimmer of hope if everyone intercedes.
As a result... Lu Huan was frightened by the official family and did not understand the official family's temper at all.
"Oh, it's still in the city? I wouldn't have remembered it if you didn't tell me! Wang Zhongzheng, my order is to immediately tie them up before the dam breaks. Can the Imperial City Secretary do it?"
"Back home, the Imperial City Department will definitely complete its mission."
"Okay! You can give me a verbal order and order the officials from the Ministry of Industry who are in charge of camp selection to accompany the Imperial City Division into the city to take over Huazhou's flood defense matters!"
Linghu Jiu was in Huazhou City, but it was not Linghu Jiu who led Huazhou to resist the flood, but a general of the new army. Therefore, Linghu Jiu also wildly said that he would be killed afterwards!
Huazhou is difficult to enter. A city surrounded by yellow muddy water is indeed difficult to enter.
But the official orders must be carried out by the Imperial City Secretary.
There were southerners in the Imperial City Department. After receiving the order, they suggested cutting down trees to make rafts to move forward...
The Imperial City Secretary and the Supervisor arrived at the foot of Huazhou City and were hung up on the city wall amidst the cheers of the people: the official came to Huazhou in person and led tens of thousands of new troops to camp outside the city to solve the siege of Huazhou. News spread
Already...~
"Captain Du, is the governor of Huazhou, Linghu, still here?"
"Go back to the inner prison, Zhizhou is here, and bring his family and the lookout post..."
Linghu was afraid of death for a long time. The government office was in a low-lying area of Huazhou. He took Xinruan and his family with him and forcibly occupied a watchtower...
The so-called resistance to such a flood is simply useless. The Yellow River flood will eventually break through the city defenses, and the only way to survive is to survive.
Based on his experience in Linghujiu, when the flood recedes, as long as he gathers the victims and marches to Bianliang, it will be a credit.
By then, Huazhou will be like the past, everything will be submerged by floods. He can gather the victims, which is considered a good performance of his duties.
He would never have thought that the officials would come to Huazhou in person, nor would he have thought that the Imperial City Secretary and the Supervisor would come to the city on a raft to arrest him.
"Internal supervision, internal supervision is reported to the officials, and the New Army Huazhou Garrison Camp in Gyeonggi Province can ensure that the defense of Huazhou City is not lost and that floods do not enter Huazhou City!"
"Internal supervision, the Changping warehouse in Huazhou has not been opened, and most of the people's food has been soaked. The general will not have the right to dispose of the Changping warehouse..."
A sentry tower is really too small for a magistrate.
Linghu Jiu still knew how to enjoy hardships, and asked his slaves to keep people around him away...~Some things still need to be avoided.
Then, he heated a pot of wine and asked his wife and concubines to sing a song... Faced with such a disaster, Linghu was the only one who had been so calm for a long time.
Regardless of whether it was a judge or a judge, they had been frightened to death by the dam collapse, and they actually voluntarily allowed themselves to be ordered around by those soldiers... It was an insult to gentlemen!
…
When Fan Chunren saw Linghujiu, he did not send him directly before the dam broke, but took Linghujiu to the headquarters.
"The official family, Linghu Jiu brought it."
Is it possible that Fan Chunren also intended to forgive Linghu Jiu?
Bringing Linghujiu to the headquarters gave the ministers and workers an opportunity to plead for mercy.
"Linghu Jiu, do you know your guilt?"
Sure enough, before Zhao Xi opened his mouth, Han Qi became more and more depressed.
"Mr. Han Ge, floods in the Yellow River occur every year. It is not the responsibility of the lower officials in Huazhou today."
Still very confident.
No, Zhao Xi understood Fan Chunren's intention from Linghu Jiu's mouth full of alcohol.
This is not an opportunity for all ministers and ministers to ask for mercy, this is an opportunity for all ministers and ministers to shut up.
"Linghu Aiqing, what kind of wine did you drink?"
"Going back to the official house, I am from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In today's weather, the only thing I can do is boil a pot of rice wine to warm the body and remove the dampness!"
The shamelessness has reached a certain level! Zhao Xi waved his hand and asked the Imperial City Secretary to take him away, but Wang Zhongzheng reported the details.
"Who will plead for him?"
Zhao Xi threw the report of Linghu Jiu's arrest directly in front of the ministers.
