"His Majesty."

Liu Hongdao saw Zhao Guan's parents being silent for a long time, thinking that the other party didn't know the details and couldn't judge, so he quickly explained in detail. "After the Yellow River turns in the Fenglingdu area of ​​Tongguan, the water is suddenly anxious, but it is not absolutely difficult, but relatively difficult to move elsewhere..."

"I understand what you mean, and I also understand the river situation over there." Zhao Jiu interrupted the opponent without looking back. "I have passed there several times, why don't I understand? On weekdays, the army and the transportation of supplies are enough, but after all, it is an urgent way. You are afraid that the opening of the Northern Expedition will become the key to restricting logistics. It is also common sense... …In addition to the old example of building a plank road and guiding on the stone mountain in the middle of the river in the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty also had an example of specially dispatching there to clean up during the battle of Xixia, so this proposal was made. ."

"Yes." Liu Hongdao nodded immediately.

"You and Hu Yin mean to fix it?" Zhao Jiu finally turned around and asked. "You are the Superintendent of the Capital, who is in charge of the Yellow River waterways, and he is the Minister of Engineering who is responsible for this. This matter is your two."

"Yes." Liu Hongdao became more sincere. "But you must use gunpowder, otherwise you will not be able to catch up with the Northern Expedition after the autumn...The power of gunpowder to open the mountains and explode is exactly for this purpose.

"This matter is not that simple." Zhao Jiu shook his head for some reason after hearing this.

Liu Hongdao was also tense, and then instinctively hesitated, but after glancing at the rain outside through the official figure, he fell silent again.

"Since it's here, let's take a break for the time being. I will take a look at the paper reports you brought, and then reply together." Zhao Jiu simply urged people.

Liu Hongdao had thoughts in his heart, and got the will, so he retired carefully, and then moved to the back hall to rest with Zong Ying, who was standing in front of the hall.

However, it was said that it was the apse, but it was actually the Shengguo Temple in the south of Phoenix Mountain on the side of the mountain. It was only occupied by the Zhao official family.

But there is no way. After all, the old Wuyue Palace on Phoenix Mountain is very narrow and in disrepair for a long time. There is always only one bedroom in the back and a hall in front that can be used, and the so-called hall is only as wide as three rooms, according to Li Gang. In Fujian, the people of the mediation township talked about the sanctity of the official family to those local elders. It was a trivial matter... In fact, if it weren't the case, the Zhao official's house wouldn't have to be in the wild for a martial arts conference.

But now, with the continuous rain in Hangzhou in the summer of the nineteenth year of Jianyan, the two rows of small houses attached to the back of the palace were soaked, causing the seven or eight pavilions of the ten pavilions to leak, forcing the people who were originally to rest and work here. The entourage of civil and military officials had to withdraw. The nearest Shengguo Temple naturally responded to the call and gave way to Xingzai and served as the'apse'.

Of course, this also shows that there are indeed many temples in the south.

However, these are not related to Liu Hongdao’s business. It is not more convenient for him to live in a temple, because one distance is good, and the other is separated from the official house by a mountain stream and two walls. Life is also convenient... but there are too many crows, and the entire Phoenix Mountain is full of crows. When they come along, they will startle crows from time to time.

Turning back, this afternoon, the rain was still dripping outside. Liu Hongdao followed Zongying to Shengguo Temple to settle down. After changing into clean clothes, he went straight out. He found the guard in front of the door and asked him from Qianzhou just now. The reserve army of the imperial camp, Guo Zhongxun, who had not been here for a long time, asked him to lead the way.

Facing an officer of the secret pavilion, and also a dispatched by Du Shuijian...This dispatch seemed not worth mentioning before, but in the overall situation of the Northern Expedition, it is obvious to the naked eye that it is more important...Of course Guo Zhongxun is Treat with courtesy.

What's more, although this visit was abrupt, there were also arguments-as a former Jiangnan West Road Administrator, since Liu Hongdao was in the south, it seemed strange that he did not come to the relevant person to ask about the recent situation in Jiangxi.

It's just acting too urgently.

Sure enough, the two met and exchanged a little greeting, and then sat down in the military camp under Phoenix Mountain, then put tea, and started talking about the previous Jiangxi rebellion at will, and gradually talked about the topic. In the end, not only did the topics of discussion become wider and wider, but also because the contacts of the two sides in Jiangxi were compared, and the two sides had the tacit meaning of the officialdom, they actually had a bit of knowledge and hatred. .

In this way, the two of them chatted into the alley, gradually forgetting the time. Suddenly, there were a few faint sounds of bells and drums in the mountains not far away, but they were not very dense, and there was no air of war... How did the two of them not know , This is the rule in the temple. According to the weather, it is not a reminder to end the afternoon activities and let the monks go to the Xiangji kitchen to have a meal.

At this time, Liu Hongdao should have taken the initiative to leave.

But for some reason, after glancing at the still pattering rain outside, the soldier from the military department sat like a mountain and asked Guo Zhongxun, the owner of the barracks, a somewhat sensitive question:

"Mr. Guo, this official is facing the saint today. Seeing that the official's complexion is so unswerving, but what's wrong here? Is it caused by the Fujian incident again, or what has happened in Hangzhou?"

Guo Zhongxun was stunned, and immediately changed his face and smiled: "So that Liu Shilang knows that the next official has only just arrived in Hangzhou for ten years, and he has some internal information, how can he know?"

This is a refusal.

However, Liu Hongdao only smiled, and continued to ask: "It doesn't matter whether it is true or false, but there are rumors that General Manager Guo is just..."

This is coercion.

However, although the two people sit and talk like friends, their status and status are completely different.

Among them, Liu Hongdao’s qualifications, background, identity, and current leadership are far superior to each other. What's more, for Guo Zhongxun, whether he wants to consolidate his political foundation in Jiangxi, or wants to make achievements in the subsequent Northern Expedition, I am afraid that they all need the political resources of the present one.

In fact, this is the fundamental reason why Liu Hongdao came to find Guo Zhongxun. He knew that the other party was taken to death by himself and it was not good to offend him.

Turning back to him, after hesitating for a while, it was true that Guo Zhongxun did not dare to offend the other party, but he gave a bitter smile and tried his best to answer: "If this is the case, there are some mistakes and omissions, please don't joke Liu Shilang."

"This is natural." Liu Hongdao nodded slightly, but he was obviously urging. "Please elaborate"

And Guo Zhongxun watched the other party behave like this, knowing that if he couldn't find the foundation, he was afraid that he would not be able to pass the past today, so he immediately lifted the burden and laid out:

"On the first day when the next official came to Hangzhou, he ran into the official family and made a big temper, but it was still in Fujian... It means that Fujian has dealt with many rural fights, and there are many punishments for the first to show the public. As a result, The officials were furious and directly invented the decree overnight, not only in Fujian, but also in all parts of the country... Liu Shilang came from Tokyo, afraid that he might have missed the news."

"This happened? But why is this?"

"At the beginning, I was very nervous. Later, when Lu Xianggong came over and asked in person, it turned out that the officials thought that the punishment of the first public was too humiliating, especially some officials did not know the severity, and often sentenced the first several days after the execution of the sentence. , The result is that the tortured person doesn’t say standing, or sitting down, he can’t stand it, he can only fall down like a dog or horse... The official saying is that if there are heroes in the country, they will not be able to suffer this humiliation. It may be because One yelling punishment went directly to Liangshan like Lin Chong."

"That's it... This is the official love of the people like a child, and it also means a new atmosphere after Jianyan Zhongxing... Is there any more?"

"The other thing is that after the official came to Hangzhou, he heard some bad rumors in the local area, but it was aimed at the official and public pavilions... the so-called'three hundred Guans, a pavilion member; two thousand stones, and a conviction'... …It seems that the folks still have some opinions about the use of cabinet positions and official positions to gather money and food."

"It's okay... Some foolish people, I don't know where the court's plan is... Anything else?"

"Also, the rain was heavy at the beginning of this summer, which is said to have affected the output of silk and silk in the southeast, so that even though the people in Zhejiang and Zhejiang were given the benefits of paying acres and never giving money, there was not much immediate effect. The good thing is that the households in the situation are even more embarrassed than in previous years, and they have more complaints not to mention. It is said that even the summer tax due to the disasters reported by several state capitals is half of last year."

"This is a natural disaster, can we blame it on the official family? It is not in the Han Dynasty. It doesn't need to be said that the heavens and humans feel it... Besides, it can be like this after the natural disaster. In fact, it has shown that the official new policy is Huizheng Up."

"Who said no?"

"However, this official has always known that the summer tax on Liangzhe Road is extraordinary, and everything will come out in the slightest turmoil."

"That's what I meant." Guo Zhongxun paused, then said earnestly. "Because of rain on Liangzhe Road and the chaos below on Fujian Road, Xia Shui went wrong. From the perspective of Xiaguan, this is the great difficulty..."

"Who said no?" Liu Hong Dao Cong still sighed like that. "The summer tax on Fujian Road is 30% less, although the summer tax on Liangzhe Road is only 10% less, but the benefits are more than the 30% on Fujian Road... Because the southern summer tax was originally paid for silk and silk. Yes, and this official still remembers that before Jingkang, the twenty-two roads in the world, the silks paid on Liangzhe roads accounted for one-fourth of the whole world. It is really worthy of the ordinary five roads all the way...so, Liangzhe The half percent of Lu Xia Shui is worth the three percent of Fujian Lu's."

Guo Zhongxun also shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The silk and silk on Liangzhe Road is more than one-fifth of the summer tax, and it is also affected by the maritime merchants... This year, the Southeast Business Tax will also lose a lot."

"But it's still not right." Liu Hongdao also shook his head, but then looked out the already dark window, where there was still a pattering sound. "It's the summer tax and commercial tax on Liangzhe Road and Fujian Road that make people painful, but what is it to put in the overall situation of the country? It is only a small amount of silk and money, not to mention whether it can be compensated by national debt or something. What if I can’t make up for it? Why did the officials hesitate about the Northern Expedition? You must know that the Northern Expedition is not just about the three years of financial preparation... Since Jingkang, to this year In the 9th year of Jianyan, not talking about Yuansheng, but only talking about the official family in charge and fighting the war, has it been a full eight years?"

Guo Zhongxun also looked out the window, and after a moment of silence, he continued to say: "If it is not the summer tax, then the official thinks it is the autumn tax... After all, the summer tax is mostly silk, but the autumn tax is. There is food... and if there is a Northern Expedition, hundreds of thousands of horses will be lost, and even a little bit of national debt will be paid up. I am afraid that there will be a direct disaster in the southeast, but we need to help."

Liu Hongdao finally nodded heavily, and then seriously confronted: "So, everyone here also thinks that if the officials are hesitant, it must be because of the continuous rain and worry about the autumn harvest in Zhejiang and Zhejiang?"

Guo Zhongxun also nodded heavily, but he finally asked, "Dare to ask Shilang Liu, how is the North this year?"

Liu Hongdao finally smiled bitterly: "Actually, there has been a lot of rain in the north this year, but what is interesting is that the north is only as good as the south, and it has clearly become a problem, but it has not been worth the disaster.

"If this is the case, the officials generally have some doubts, but it is also normal." Guo Zhongxun couldn't bear it when he saw the topic had progressed to this point. "And when Shilang Liu came over this time, it was the Tokyo side who had noticed some doubts from the officials, so he came to ask?"

"That's not enough. It's mainly about business affairs, but Hu Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry and a few familiar imperial battalions do have some worries. Privately, there are also entrustments that I can take a look at... After all, the southeast side can I think, how can Tokyo not think of it?" Liu Hongdao also told the truth, because he saw it, the other side seemed to support the Northern Expedition. "But I didn't expect that the officials' suspicions were already so obvious."

Guo Zhongxun sighed slightly, and finally stated: "At the moment, the arrow is already on the string and has to be sent...and, logically speaking, the officials are not such people who look forward and look forward to the future... But the autumn harvest is extraordinary, I When there is an obstacle to identity, the officials will not pick it up for a day, and I will not be able to directly speak. However, the seniority of Liu Shilang is not unusual, and now the dispatch is extremely important. If you want to speak frankly, it is of course excellent. It’s a matter of course for me to wait for a while."

Liu Hongdao nodded slightly.

And then, now that he got the answer he wanted to know, of course, the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War would not be in the middle of the barracks. He ignored the slippery sky and the road, and went straight back... As for Guo Zhongxun, he quickly sent a team of people. Careful **** is another matter.

I went back to Shengguo Temple in the rain, and I had already used the evening fast here, but what kind of identity Liu Hongdao, wherever he wanted to talk, there were monks cordially surrounded and waited... Entering the room, a monk had already provided hot water, waiting to be replaced The clothes were cleaned at home, and a monk led him outside the Xiangji kitchen to stir-fry fresh seasonal vegetables and serve them.

After the meal, there was actually some fruit cut into assortments and placed carefully.

However, Liu Hongdao has something in his mind, how can he care about it? I just thought about how to write a book to clarify the situation while eating and drinking. I persuaded the officials to let go of their burdens and focus on the Northern Expedition. After thinking about it, I felt that I didn’t have to write the book directly. Instead, I first sought out Lu Benzhong’s article in the Phoenix Xun issue and asked for directions. .

But after thinking about it, after eating and drinking, this servant actually has to take... but I think the dried cakes from Shengguo Temple are fragrant and crispy, and the fruit is not bad. I have to take some for my entourage to taste. A fresh meaning.

The monks had no choice but to quickly find a cloth bag for Shi Lang Liu to pretend. They were pretending to be... There was another person at Xiangji's kitchen, and the monks hurriedly separated to serve.

Liu Hongdao wears plain clothes with this person, and it is night, and it is still raining outside. Although he heard that the monks went up to fawn and swear by their homes, he didn't recognize him for a while, but when he packed his bags here, he was in the kitchen face to face. There was a face-to-face under the light, but they still recognized each other immediately-the visitor was not someone else, it was the court gate, and the officials had to use the minister, Ren Baozhong.

Let’s also say that Nippon Tada, who is an old man, is deceitful, he has never been decency, and he is still an old party dog ​​with uneven hair, so even if it is a close minister who needs to be used in front of the official, no one has made friends with it... …Of course, this person can be used, and I am afraid that it is also for this reason... But no matter what, it is embarrassing for the two to collide like this, and Liu Hongdao hesitated, but did not want to offend this person at this critical time. , Depending on the other party's age, he casually asked hello, and then hurried away without waiting for the other party to respond.

Only a flattered so-called party item old dog was left stunned.

There was a chance meeting under the kitchen. Liu Hongdao originally thought that the matter would end here, but unexpectedly, that night, the left servant of the Ministry of War returned to the room, and was under the window to start doing his own tomorrow. Tomorrow would like to find the "On the Undelay of the Northern Expedition" submitted by Lu Benzhong. "In the first draft, only a hundred words were written, and then someone called the door... Opening the door, it was even more shocked to see that it was Ninbo Tada.

"Liu Shilang." Ninbaozhong didn't go in, and just gave his hands under the corridor. "The old man takes the liberty of... the officials are gradually hesitating. Is the assistant minister aware of it?"

Seeing that the other party was so straightforward, Liu Hongdao didn't even bother to complain about the two savage words "sir", but he was refreshed.

And when Ren Baozhong saw the opponent like this, he was awakened in his heart, but he did not hide it at all, and once again gave his hand: "Liu Shilang, he also wanted to go to the Northern Expedition, because if the Northern Expedition is not made, if Dang Xiangerlang is not allowed to go out of Hebei and serve the country. Effectiveness, the barriers between Shaanxi and Ningxia will ultimately be difficult to smooth..."

If Dang Xiang Erlang does not come out of Hebei, how can you, an old Dang Xiang dog, show your skills so that you can go further? Liu Hongdao finally had room for complaint in his heart, but immediately after the other party's next sentence, he was completely awakened.

"Liu Shilang, we are in the same position. Just now I saw you at Xiangji Kitchen, and you are a polite person. Besides, I guessed that as you, you are on a mission. If you come here in a busy schedule, it must be more than greetings, it must be seen from Tokyo. In the summer and autumn harvest, I noticed the attitude of the officials...but, there is a little reminder, please consider...the officials may not just worry about natural disasters and man-made disasters, but also worry about them. Now the upper and lower parts of the government are united, and there is a wind of advancing. !" After saying this, Ren Baozhong turned away, leaving only Liu Hongdao at the door.

And when he closed the door and returned to the case by the window, he hesitated to read the article he had prepared long ago, because just now Nibo Tada provided him with a new idea that he hadn't noticed before... After a series of continuous cleansing, the central and upper levels are basically people who are fighting like themselves, or who are eager for the Northern Expedition.

If you go up to Zaizhi, Shuaichen, and Shangshu, you can find yourself, Renbaozhong, Guo Zhongxun, and then Hu Quan, Yu Yunwen and other young newcomers, if you don’t fight for the Northern Expedition, or say If he didn't take the initiative to change his position and declared the Northern Expedition, he would be eliminated long ago.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, starting from the first year of Jianyan, Huang Qianshan’s masters are Li Gang, Lu Haowen, and Xu Jingheng. Such masters and deferrals are also active. Passive is driven by the current situation.

Count down, even more so.

For example, Zhao Mingcheng, who was similar to his own experience, but with a higher qualification and age, also fled to Palgong Mountain, because he couldn't fight or didn't want to fight, so he couldn't enter any dynasty change. On the court, he has always retreated if he didn't advance. He couldn't stand firm several times, so he naturally had to go back to his hometown to study his knowledge of gold and stone... In comparison, what Zhao official family admired the Yi'an lay poems to Zhao Mingcheng's misfortune. The real high-level bureaucrats are simply a joke here.

The same was true among the imperial army. Either they were able to fight or dared to fight, at least they were people who did not shrink from the Northern Expedition. People from Hebei, such as Yue Fei and Li Qiong, who were crazy about Hebei's old place, and people who have been waiting for red-eyed stickers like Li Yanxian and Ma Jiao for so many years are also not lacking.

As for the children of the so-called loyal generals, they have been purged again and again after the success of military operations. In the past, the Xin brothers and Deng Xuanhe? Now their subordinate Hu Hongxiu has become a military envoy of Ningxia, where are they? The generations of Miao and Liu, who were also known as Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun, were gradually discharged from the imperial camp.

In a sense, the official saying at the martial arts conference that he was pushed is also honest.

So at this time, the officials in turn took a prudent posture to prevent the people below from getting out of control, but it was considered a reasonable imperial plot.

In this way, Liu Hongdao sat in front of the window, listening to the patter of night rain, and occasionally crying. After thinking about it, instead of writing to polish a word, he thought more and more. In the end, he even recalled for no reason from the first year of Jingkang to Jianyan. In nine years, I have experienced almost nine years of various past events in my own life.

From the grief and anger of Jingkang’s shame, to the rush of being appointed Qingzhou suddenly, to the panic after fighting Wushu, the embarrassment on Palgong Mountain, the cautious diligence of Jiangxi, the busy and shameful heart after returning to Tokyo, and then In today’s situation... And, turning to think about the incident that I mentioned to Guo Zhongxun in the evening, that is, although there were disasters in 1989 before the Great Song Dynasty, they were all small disasters. This is what it is this year. The large-scale rain that spreads across the north and south is really rare... and it is even more emotional.

In short, his heart turned back in all kinds of ways, but he couldn't write about all kinds of words, but he gradually became fascinated.

In the end, the Shilang Liu simply lay down on the case and fell asleep in a daze, not even more than a few words.

However, falling asleep this time was not so calm. Suddenly, I don't know when, the soldier from the Ministry of War was awakened by the roar of the mountain, and then he was shocked.

It was really a roaring sound. Suddenly, the Phoenix Mountain was rumbling like thunder, and then countless crows started to startled. Regardless of the rain, the mountains and crows kept crying.

Liu Hongdao lost his senses for a moment, and immediately opened the door, shouting and asking:

"What happened?"

However, there was chaos in Shengguo Temple, not to mention the monk, even the princes and his entourage who got up in a hurry around the room could not answer at all.

Helpless, Liu Hongdao quickly put on his clothes, looked for his left and right followers, called two class straights, and went directly to the Great Hall of Shengguo Temple. However, although the place where many ever-bright lights were lit has become a place where everyone instinctively gathers, it is also a place where everyone instinctively gathers. It's chaotic, and no one knows what's going on... However, it can only be said that Liu Hongdao is an official for many years, and he still knows the severity. He has already figured it out on the way, and it doesn't matter where something goes wrong. , I'm afraid that the Yujia will be sick.

Since then, his person made a decisive decision and ordered the monks and the class straight to gather together at the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and quickly go to the palace on the other side of the mountain to rescue.

And just as the attendant tried to command the monks, he raised his eyes and saw that the pavilion’s only servant, Ninbo Tada, who he had seen last night, was desperate to directly gather a group of troops stationed in the temple to go to the palace. go with.

Liu Hongdao secretly scolded himself for trash, regardless of any taboos. He threw the monks at Lu Benzhong, who had just arrived at the Daxiong Hall, who was still in a daze. Then, almost alone, he directly caught up with Ninbaozhong and the team of Banzhi, and went to the palace together. .

The dark night mountain road is difficult to navigate, and the rain is wet, slippery, and muddy. When they reached the top of the mountain, the leaders of the two grades Liu and Ren fell a few times. It was the imperial squad who was accompanying Zhili, and there was also a Xi who called to be free. The Mongolian prince knocked his knees on the stone steps, directly reducing the number of staff.

But when the team reached the top of the mountain, I saw the palace where the palace was ignoring the rainy night, it was full of lights, and there was a lot of rushing and asking and shouting, but I didn't know where it was that what happened in the palace... and even guessing together without even thinking about it. What was going on, it was obvious that the rain was not stopping, and the palace was falling down...This time, whether the two of them, or the royal squad who was accompanying them directly under the Red Heart team, almost everyone was shocked.

Under the ordinary lantern that had long been broken, Liu Hongdao and Ninbaozhong couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw a look of horror in each other's eyes.

But the next moment, the two of them completely ignored the rainy night and hurriedly rushed to the palace with the support of the people around them.

"Yuji...Where is the Yujia?" When he came to the palace in embarrassment, he saw the collapsed house stacks. Liu Hongdao, who was covered in mud, tried several times before shouting, but he was still trembling.

It may be that there are voices and lanterns everywhere around the mountain at this time~www.wuxiaspot.com~The city of Hangzhou has been alarmed, and the crows cried after being frightened, and no one answered at first.

In desperation, Liu and Ren could only shout with a trembling voice, and at the same time, they went to the bedroom which looked neat and tidy.

"Is it Liu Qing and Ren Qing? Don't panic, I am here without any problems." In the rainy night, a familiar voice came from an open space behind the bedroom, but it relieved Liu Hongdao and Ren Baozhong. Sit directly on the ground.

The next moment, his own class went straight forward, picked up the two, and brought them to Zhao Guan's house.

However, I don’t know why, in the brightly lit place on the left and right, when I see Zhao Guan’s house standing under a big umbrella, not only is it not damaged at all, but the clothes are not wet, but Liu Hongdao and Ninbaozhong, who have been standing upright, are together. Sit on the ground, and then hid his face and cried.

Now, it was Zhao Jiu's turn to be stunned for a while.
