Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 204 Utilization of the Yellow River Diversion

Waking up in the morning, Li Buqi had a splitting headache from a hangover.

Yesterday I made a full moon wine for my son, just in time for the completion of the three-storey brick, stone, and cement building of the Li family's perfume shop, so Li Buqi threw a big banquet.Although the honorable ministers of the court did not see many people coming because of the taboo of the third prince of the Li family, the more this happened, the more lively Li Buqi wanted to do it, and a total of thirty tables of banquets were set up.Li Buqi, the father, drank it table by table, even though he walked back to the backyard by himself in the end, and couldn't tell the north from the south.

Finally, the scene in front of him disappeared, and Li Buqi saw Zhao Min holding the child and smiling at him, and asked, "Why are you smiling so ambiguously?"

Seeing Xing'er, who was wiping his face, looked surprised, and Zhang Yingniang looked contemptuous, and immediately felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Xing'er couldn't help asking: "The officer doesn't remember who I slept with last night?"

"Who do you sleep with?" Li Buqi couldn't help but tremble.

So many things are not quite right!He still remembered that he saw a woman at the door and thought it was Zhang Yingniang, so he pulled her over and entered the study.Myolie has been staying in Zhao Min's house these days. Zhang Yingniang went to meet up with the person sent by Zheng En last night. Judging by his expression, he wasn't the one I pulled yesterday?Who is that?
Zhao Min looked at Li Buqi's stupid look and sneered: "The officials really don't remember?"

"Not Yingniang?"

"Not me. I just got back this morning."

"Who is that?"

"It's Yinghui."

"Huh? Really?"

"real."

"Then last night..." Li Buqi looked at his clothes.

"Last night, the officials didn't do anything, they just fell asleep. But Yinghui let you hug me all night. If the news got out, Yinghui would not be able to clean up even if she jumped into the Yellow River. The officials must give Yinghui has an explanation."

"Ah..." Li Buqi felt even more headache.

Zhao Min looked out of the window and said: "Officials, hurry up and get up. I just got the news this morning that the official Ming has passed away, so hurry up and go to Ming's house. Anyway, it's a colleague, no matter how he treats officials when he is alive." How, since he has passed away, if the officials don't go to worship, there is no need for people to gossip."

Oh, Myeong-ho is dead!Li Buqi couldn't help but smile wryly: Now his notoriety must be more obvious.

Ming Hao probably got angry when he was in Beizhou, and when he returned to Beijing, he got angry again. Soon after returning to Beijing, he developed ulcers on his back and became ill.Immediately, someone contacted Li Buqi's previous deeds, saying that Li Buqi's ability to overcome Shangguan became more and more powerful.Now that Ming Hao has passed by directly, Li Buqi is definitely wearing the hat of "Shangguan Disaster".

Yesterday Li Buqi expected that he would not be able to go to court or work today, and he had already asked for leave, so he ate some breakfast indiscriminately, changed into plain clothes, and went to Minghao's mansion to express his condolences.I met Wen Yanbo at Minghao Mansion, and just as the two came out, they saw a fast horse trotting along the street.Wen Yanbo's entourage quickly stopped him, and the man jumped off his horse and ran over to report to Wen Yanbo after saying a few words: "Wen Shenzheng, Your Majesty invites you to enter the palace quickly, something serious has happened."

Wen Yanbo hurriedly asked, "What's the big deal?"

"Yesterday, the river broke through the Shanghukou in Chanzhou, and it could not be blocked. The flood flooded the downstream counties."

"Hiss!" Both Wen Yanbo and Li Buqi gasped.

Since ancient times, the Yellow River breach is not a joke. Li Buqi only remembers that the Yellow River was diverted in the Northern Song Dynasty. Could it be this time?He wasn't sure, but this was an opportunity to do something big.

Wen Yanbo said to Li Buqi: "If that's the case, the old man will enter the palace immediately."

Li Buqi hurriedly said: "There are often great chaos after a catastrophe, and the subordinate officials immediately went to the police department to stand by. Although the police department is only a start-up, I still hope that it can help."

Wen Yanbo still admired Li Buqi's attitude, said "yes" several times, and then got on his horse and went straight to Ouchi.

Li Buqi arrived at the police department, and news from Hebei soon came one after another.From the documents of the local government, it can be seen that after the Yellow River broke through in Chanzhou, the flood went straight north to Daming Mansion, and then went straight to the northeast, and a large area downstream became the country of Ze.But now Li Buqi only has the positions of Military Weapons Supervision and Police Department, which have nothing to do with disaster relief for the time being.Li Buqi could only give orders to the officials who had just passed the exam and were being trained to be ready to participate in disaster relief at any time, and told them that this would be an important part of their assessment.Bao Zheng is also very supportive of this.But now there is a debate in the court, and if there is no order, they can only wait.

Back home at night, Li Buqi called Zhang Yingniang to the study first: "This time the Yellow River burst is different from the past, I'm afraid it will be diverted. This is the first time since the founding of the Song Dynasty. We must take advantage of such a good opportunity. You immediately Ask Brother Shilang to create two rumors. One is that the Yellow River breached because the court officials did not allow him to be left behind and forced the officials to drive him out of the palace, shaking the foundation of the country.

"Secondly, it is said that when the Taizu founded the country, only literature was respected, and martial arts were not suppressed. However, for decades, the imperial court advocated literature and suppressed martial arts, resulting in the prosperity of yin and the decline of yang and the imbalance of yin and yang. Therefore, the Yellow River was diverted. This is to remind officials The family changed course."

Zhang Yingniang asked: "Didn't the officials say that you should teach the remaining son well and let him reshape the Song Dynasty according to your method? What if the officials believe this rumor and take him back to the palace?"

Li Buqi laughed: "You are still too naive. So many people have written letters to drive the leftover out of the palace. Aren't they afraid that the leftover will become the emperor in the future? These people will definitely stop the leftover with all their lives Returning to the palace. Since they have the ability to get the remaining son out of the palace, they have the ability to prevent the remaining son from returning to the palace. Don't worry, I'm just spreading hatred for them and preparing public opinion for the remaining son to fight for the throne in the future. "

Seeing that Li Buqi was full of confidence, Zhang Yingniang asked, "Then this matter is going to make a big fuss?"

"Yeah, the bigger the mess, the better. I'm really curious what methods those people will use."

"Officer, do you want to take out some money for disaster relief?"

"why?"

"I don't know how many people are displaced now, and there are countless people who sell their sons and daughters. The officials have a lot of money, and it is also a good thing to use some of it for disaster relief."

Li Buqi shook his head resignedly: "This time is a special performance by Zhao Guan's family to buy people's hearts. If you are an official with the status of your family, it would be too late to steal the limelight from Zhao Guan's family."

"Then the officials don't care?"

"This can be managed. But you can't take the initiative. If someone, such as someone from Qingyuan Academy, sincerely asks your family's officials to shed some blood, your family's officials will definitely follow suit. In that case, your family's officials will just not be able to do so." You paid some money to buy a reputation, but the Zhao family’s limelight was taken by others, and your family’s officials cannot be blamed.”

"Oh, there are so many twists and turns."

"Isn't that right. Companion to a gentleman is like companion to a tiger. Especially the narrow-minded Zhao family."

"Oh, that's right. Zuoer doesn't seem to be happy in school."

"Huh? What's going on?"

"Niu Man said that Zuo Er can't do anything, so many students laughed at him."

"Oh. It's normal. There are indeed too many things left. I'll talk to him in a while."

PS: Thank you **Qi Shi Chi Zhong Wu for your pointers.And the robbed stone lump pointed out the mistake of the telescope, once again sincerely apologized, and wrote it smoothly.However, I think it is still possible to grind out a lens like a handicraft in the Song Dynasty. The ancient crystal handicrafts seen in the museum are too delicate, and the skills of some skilled craftsmen cannot be speculated by common sense.As for the Japanese iron, it is a deception.There is always buying and selling when doing business with Japan, but there is really nothing to buy.Japan is a place where birds don't shit.
