When the letter written by Mr. Lu was delivered to Funing Palace, Zhao Xu was reading a book.

I read the "Small Collection of Du Gongmen" by Song Churenxian.

This is compiled by Du Fu's poems circulated among the people collected by Fan Huang, the governor of Runzhou during the reign of Emperor Daizong of Tang Dynasty.

He is the ancestor of Du Fu's collection of poems in all dynasties!

Unfortunately, modern people have no chance to witness this treasure.

The edition of "Du Gongbu Collection" collected by Song Churen's family is particularly precious.

Although it is not the original version, it was copied from the fragments of the Five Dynasties, the person who copied it was Wang Zhu, the famous minister of the Song Dynasty.

This is the fan of Du Fu, the number one fan of the Song Dynasty.

The "Du Gongbu Collection" he compiled has been passed down to the modern times and is recognized as the ancestor of Du Fu's poetry collection.

Not only that, Wang Zhu is also a great calligrapher.

He is known as the best master of official script in the Northern Song Dynasty!

The Fan Zhongyan Divine Monument he wrote is still standing in the Fan Garden in Yichuan, Luoyang hundreds of years later, and is a place for countless official script enthusiasts to check in.

In the "Du Gongbu Collection" copied by Wang Zhu, there are at least thirty Du poems, which have been lost and dispersed in modern times.

Later generations can never see them.

And today, they still exist, but are bound to the bookshelf of the Song family.

This has to be said, a pity.

Fortunately, Zhao Xu now has the tool "Bianjing Yibao".

Therefore, he had ordered the Bianjing Yibao to publish poems by poets such as Li Du of the Tang Dynasty.

This is also the reason why he asked Song Churen to offer books.

Good stuff, let's share it together!

Zhao Xu was looking at Du Fu's poems and immersed in the world depicted by Du's poems.

Feng Jing quietly came behind him: "Everyone, Duke Shen has handed over a letter and beg for your meeting."

"Oh!" Zhao Xu slowly put down the book in his hand.

"Grandpa Lu is coming very quickly!" Zhao Xu said, "Let's go to the quiet room of Dongge!"

"I'll arrive later!"

As he said that, Zhao Xu walked towards the bedroom and ordered Wen Xunniang to prepare a bath for him.

Summon the prime minister, although it was a private occasion.

But you also need to give enough respect to the details!

The cheapest and most comfortable way is to take a shower and change into new clothes.

...

Under the leadership of Feng Jing, Lu Gong came to the legendary Dongge Jing room.

The Dragon-Straight Guards standing at the door were straight and silent.

The figure of Yan Yuan, the son of Yan Da, appeared and disappeared inside the curtain.

As in the legend, the inner wall of this quiet room has a door.

It is said that this was specially ordered to dig after ascending the throne.

Legend has it that one day, when the young master was studying, he felt sad when he saw Gao Cheng of Northern Qi, so he ordered people to open such a door.

The imperial chefs in the palace were specially ordered to run food restaurants outside the palace, which is said to be due to this.

Therefore, it is said that the imperial chefs in the palace would pay homage to Gao Cheng during festivals.

After staying at the door for a quarter of an hour, a familiar figure walked in from the door on the other side of the quiet room and came to the curtain to sit down. So someone raised the curtain so that it would be convenient for the king and his minister to meet.

Mr. Lu looked carefully. The official had just bathed, his hair was still a little wet, and his regular clothes were also specially replaced with a new one, with a faint fragrance, which must have been scented.

This touched Mr. Lu a little!

You treat me with national talents, and I repay me with national talents!

This is the simple value of the scholars and officials.

What's more, his family background is favored by the country!

So, Mr. Lu bowed slightly and bowed: "The minister left servant, and the minister under the school, and asked His Majesty for his blessings."

"I am blessed!" Zhao Xu sat down, looked at Mr. Lu, and ordered his side: "Come here, give me a seat and tea!"

Mr. Lu hurriedly thanked him.

Feng Jingze had already brought a chair and placed it behind Lu Gongzhe, and brought someone to serve the cooked tea soup.

After thanking me again, Mr. Lu sat down, then picked up the tea soup he served, took a polite sip, and put down the tea cup.

Zhao Xu and Mr. Lu put down the teacup, then asked, "My husband specially handed over a letter to ask for a meeting today, but what difficulties did he encounter?"

Mr. Lu quickly replied: "Your Majesty is not better than the wise."

"But it's not raining when it's drought, and there's something upset among the people?" Zhao Xu asked knowingly.

When he heard the officials mention drought, Mr. Lu had to swallow the words he said - there was no way, the current drought has affected more than a dozen prefectures and counties including the capital and western Jing, with more than one million people affected.

The appointment and removal of Cui Taifu and Yang Ji seemed insignificant in the face of drought.

Lu Gongzao had no choice but to answer: "I know that your Majesty is in a critical situation now. I am the left prime minister and lead the world..."

"This is a good deed of the minister, so I beg you to give up your order to abolish the minister to relieve the drought and to thank the world!"

As he said that, Mr. Lu stood up, bowed his head and bowed.

Zhao Xu quickly asked Feng Jing to come forward, helped Mr. Lu up, and said, "It's not raining when it's drought, but I don't cultivate virtue and benevolence, so God has imposed punishment. What does it have to do with my husband?"

Although, whether it is Lu Gong or Zhao Xu, he doesn't believe Dong Zhongshu's trick.

But there are many people who cannot resist the belief among the people.

Especially rural farmers!

They believe this!

"What's more, my husband had already done the ten things of benevolence and moral cultivation. I read it and believed it deeply. I have ordered the company to implement it!" Zhao Xu said: "I think that when all the rules are implemented, God will bring down sweet rain to the people!"

For natural disasters, the Song Dynasty already had a complete set of fighting styles.

This set of playing style can not only fool the people, but also alleviate social conflicts, but also give the bottom some hope.

Its name is generally XX Ten Things and Eight Things.

It is generally centered on releasing misdemeanor criminals, reducing the sentences of serious criminals, cracking down on bandits and raising bandits, relieving disasters, reducing taxes, etc.

This time, what Lu Gong brought it with him was the full set meal.

On the one hand, release misdemeanors in detention in various places and reduce the sentences of felons.

At the same time, we ordered all robbers in the jurisdiction to take serious measures. We must attack those culprits such as "murder, robbers and murder".

And for some murderers with relatively bad influence, local officials must be arrested within a time limit.

At the same time, it also gives a way out, as long as the bandits are willing to surrender.

Then, as long as you have not killed someone, you can reduce the punishment.

The affected prefectures and counties were also ordered to report losses, and the court sent the censors to inspect, and then comprehensively suffered losses to provide disaster relief.

There are a total of ten measures, so it is called "Ten Things to Benefit the People".

These measures taken by Mr. Lu seem to be cliché, but in fact they are very effective methods.

Because...

In places like Bianjing City, where the people dared to sue, were willing to sue, and were not afraid of suing, and the government was also willing to accept appeals and complaints from the people, but only a few places.

It can even be said to be an exception!

The true Song society, especially the rural society.

That's the real way for you and I laugh!

In prisons in various places, some of the prisoners detained were arrested by local officials and rushed to take the blame and completed the target.

Therefore, release of minor offenders and reduce the sentence and punishment of felons.

In fact, it is an effective measure to alleviate social conflicts.

It is also a way to strengthen the idea that "the wise and wise officials in the hearts of the people are corrupt officials."

To crack down on bandits, capture those guys with extremely bad influence within a time limit, and at the same time, give bandits who have never killed anyone, a way out for exemption or punishment.

This is to disintegrate the landmines that exist among the people.

The local inspection was sent by the censor to tell the common people that the emperor was indeed wise. Look, they all sent people to come to see us and understand our situation!
