This reason is really---unworthy.

If possible, many officials would like to go up and kick the couple away and take charge themselves.

If you come out like this, it will really cost your life!

But the procuratorate didn't care about their opinions at all and got up to collect the documents one after another.

I decide my meetings.

However, Empress Dowager Cao had some objections to this, and said rather dissatisfied: "This three-year-old is so young, why is he not as good as a few old people? He is tired of working hard now."

She's not even tired, but you are. Are you embarrassed?

Zhao Xu was also a little unhappy, "Don't worry, my grandson will teach him a lesson later."

He did the same thing. After sending Queen Mother Cao to rest in the wing, he immediately ordered someone to quietly call Zhang Fei.

"Why do you have to adjourn the meeting suddenly? Don't tell me, you are really tired."

Seeing Zhang Fei, Zhao Xu asked in confusion.

Because this hearing is to resolve this dispute. If this dispute is not resolved, Zhao Xu will not be able to step down. Now Han Qi has cut the slope, but I haven't even gone down yet. You suddenly paused.

Afraid of changes!

Zhang Fei replied unhurriedly: "This is because in fact, the dispute between the East and the North is not the key to this case. To be fair, our procuratorate cannot lead this topic too much, otherwise, they will definitely be able to see that,

This hearing has another purpose."

Zhao Xu immediately said: "But this is my purpose."

"I know."

Zhang Fei nodded, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be anxious about this. According to my understanding of Bachelor Wang, he will definitely not stop here. He will definitely apply to attend in the afternoon, and then emphasize the harm of Beiliu to refute Mr. Han."

In this way, it will not affect the impartiality of the prosecutor's office in this hearing, because they want to force discussion on this issue, and I can use the topic to my advantage."

"I see."

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, suddenly laughed a few times, sat back on the chair, and said, "You really have figured them out."

Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "It's not me, but Mr. Han. He was eager to leave just now because he hoped to leave a reason that would force Academician Wang to come forward and plead his case."

Zhao Xu nodded and said with emotion: "Actually, I have already heard this controversy, and every time I go to bed, these arguments are always echoing in my ears, and it is tormenting me all the time."

Having said this, he suddenly looked at Zhang Fei, "But the strange thing is that what they said at the hearing this time was refreshing to me. It seemed like I had heard it before, but it seemed like I had never heard it before. This is really strange. You

Do you know the reason?"

"rule."

Zhang Fei answered without even thinking.

"rule?"

Zhao Xu said in astonishment.

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Their court debates in court have almost no rules. Anyway, it's just you saying something, I saying something, each expressing his or her own opinion, tit for tat, and only His Majesty can calm them down.

It is different at a hearing. There is a moderator, there are rules, and there is a questioning session. They are just participants. They don’t know what witnesses will appear. If they don’t answer carefully, they may be questioned at any time.

When people see through it, the person they are facing is not the other party, but the person presiding over the meeting, and the words they speak are different.

In addition, His Majesty is currently staying out of the matter. The so-called authorities are confused and bystanders are clear. Naturally, there is a big difference."

Zhao Xu thoughtfully said: "Yes, maybe the authorities are really obsessed with it, and bystanders know clearly. When I just listened, I felt a sudden enlightenment, and I benefited a lot! It's a pity that you interrupted me."

Zhang Fei cupped his hands and said: "I have not allowed His Majesty to enjoy himself to the fullest. Zhang San is really guilty of an unpardonable crime."

Zhao Xu burst into laughter upon hearing this.

...

"Teacher, Mr. Han's words just now seem to have something to say, so we have to be careful!"

Lu Huiqing was worried.

Wang Anshi nodded and said: "In the beginning, I served as a staff member under Han Gong's sect. His intelligence, methods, and heart are all better than that of Sima Junshi. I will not be careless. I will apply to attend in the afternoon and reject his remarks."

Lu Huiqing said: "Xiangong Han suddenly made such remarks in public. Could it be that he wanted to return to the court?"

If Han Qi wants to return to the court, then Wang Anshi will have to leave. There is no room for two tigers in this mountain.

The Dongliu plan was supported by Wang Anshi, but Han Qi hinted that Beiliu was correct. If the emperor wanted to change Beiliu, he would most likely use Han Qi again.

Lu Huiqing felt like facing a formidable enemy. After all, Han Qi was so powerful back then and was by no means a good person.

Wang Anshi had a different view and said: "This is unlikely. I heard that Mr. Han has been in poor health in recent years. How can he still have the energy to deal with government affairs?"

Lu Huiqing said: "For example, Sima Yi has been ill for a long time. In the eyes of the students, Xianggong Han's return to the court cannot help but be detrimental to his mentor. It is also very disadvantageous to Xianggong Sima. The students think that Xianggong Han should be rejected first."

Outside the court, after all, Sima Xianggong also supported returning to the east of the river."

The implication is that if you choose one of the two, you should give priority to joining forces with Sima Guang.

Wang Anshi pondered for a while, then shook his head and said: "Based on my understanding of Xianggong Han, it is unlikely that he wants to return to the court. In the past few years, he has submitted petitions almost every year to request an official position, but the officials have not approved it.

As for why he came back this time, I think it is because Xianggong Han has always been worried about the Dongliu plan. As you know before, he had made several attempts to dissuade officials from using Cheng Fang."

Although he and Han Qi had deep grudges, he always respected Han Qi very much. No matter what happened, Han Qi would dare to make a difference and change.

On the contrary, Sima Guang is more like Ouyang Xiu, he is quite good at talking, and what's more terrible is that their talking is also very accurate.

...

"As expected of Han Gansou, who has left behind the four prime ministers, what he said just now is also extremely wonderful. He will get stronger when he is old, but it is nothing more than that." Wen Yanbo said with a smile.

Han Qi smiled and said: "Kuanfu, please don't test Han. Han has no intention of returning to the court."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, "Alas... On the contrary, I know that my time is running out, so when I come back this time, I want to ask for a job. But... this flood in Hebei is in my heart.

If the nightmare is not dealt with properly, it will cause endless harm. I, the Song Dynasty, will never have peace, and I will die in peace, so Han still wants to work hard again."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wen Yanbo said: "But you also said, there is no guarantee that there will be no floods if the north stream is diverted."

Han Qi shook his head and said with a smile: "Han came back this time to attend the hearing, not to argue with Kuanfu. Besides, we have been fighting for decades and are tired of it."

Wen Yanbo chuckled: "You are forcing us all to go up and sit down!"

Han Qi said: "Happiness alone is not as good as happiness for everyone."

...

Having said that, Zhang Fei asked for a break, which was very friendly to old people like them. When the meeting continued in the afternoon, everyone was in high spirits, but their expressions changed slightly by then. They were no longer as nervous as they were in the morning.

Nervous and worried, but creating an atmosphere of tension.

Because the hole Han Qi dug in the morning was really too big, compared to Cheng Fang and Cheng Yi, they were nothing.

All parties have to debate this.

As Zhang Fei expected, Wang Anshi sent someone to apply for attendance at noon.

When the meeting began, Wang Gong invited Wang Anshi up.

After Wang Anshi sat down, Zhang Fei asked: "I heard that Bachelor Wang made some additions to his confession in the morning, so he applied to testify again?"

He has to express his attitude. This is not caused by me, but what you have to say.

Wang Anshi nodded and said: "The remarks made by Han Xianggong this morning were so brilliant that they made us enlightened and enlightened. The way to control water lies in the whole country working together as one, and not constraining each other because of different political opinions. This is

It’s also not the way to be a minister.”

Sima Guang immediately looked at Wang Anshi with contempt and thought to himself, if there is no restriction, what will happen if Cheng Fang is so powerful in Hebei? It is your own improper execution, how can you blame others.

Zhang Fei said: "I wonder if Bachelor Wang has anything to add?"

Wang Anshi said: "It's about the issue of the East Current and the North Current. The North Current was formed when the old road was breached. At first, Emperor Renzong accepted Cui Yi and Zhang Weiji's suggestions and allowed it to flow without blocking it, so the North Current was formed.

.

However, in the third year of Huangyou's reign, the North Current broke out in Guantao County, and it was obvious that the river was blocked and a new overflow could occur at any time. This triggered a debate on whether to maintain the North Current or restore the East Current.

It can be seen that the reason why this is controversial is due to the north flow breach and the water potential is extremely unstable, not because of the east flow breach.

Later, Jia Changchao, who was left behind by the daimyo, believed that the new river channel rushed out by the north flow had flooded a large area of ​​land, and the fiscal revenue could not be raised, making it unable to fight against the northern enemy. However, the "Jingdong Old Road" embankment left over from the Eastern Han Dynasty was relatively complete and could be used as a natural hazard with a little repair.'

Consolidate the Kyoto on the inside and limit the barbarians on the outside."

"I see." Zhang Fei nodded and said, "In other words, the old route back to the river also has a reason to defend against foreign enemies?"

Wang Anshi nodded and said: "Of course, if Cangzhou blocks the enemy's sea route to the north, if the river does not flow eastward, Cangzhou will be south of the river, reaching the capital without any limit.

As for Ouyang Xianggong's mention of the decline in people's livelihood in Hebei, the old roads should not be renovated. But we must know that the North River stretches for thousands of miles, leaving millions of people without houses, farmland, and dispersed. The financial losses are immeasurable. Isn't this right?

People’s livelihood?”

Many people nodded in agreement.

Even Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo nodded slightly.

Zhang Fei saw this and thought to himself, it turns out that this Eastern School is starting from the defense of Khitan. With a reluctant smile, he asked: "Is this what Academician Wang wants to add?"

Wang Anshi nodded.
