Chapter 82: Court Meeting

Bao Zhengyuan didn't care, thinking that it was Ouyang Bian's omission for a moment, but he let out another surprise after scanning his eyes.

On the paper, the first page reads - "The Idea of ​​Draining the River of Benefiting the People".

Looking closely, Ouyang Bian said all three strategies on it, but there are notes attached to the back.

"No matter what strategy is taken, you need to prepare the original information of the river, make a test of the river, and have first-hand information. There are deep underground boundary stones buried beside the river, so you can measure and verify them one by one. With this basis, it can be beneficial to an invincible place!"

Bao Zheng suddenly realized that this was not an omission, but a purposeful act. He couldn't help but feel a little moved and blamed himself.

Ouyang Bian is planning for him, but he is doubting his character, so he shouldn't have!

Bao Zheng bent his fingers and gently buckled the table, thinking quickly, and after a while, he had made a decision in his heart.

He planned to put away the paper, and this kind of plan could not be revealed. If it was revealed, Ouyang Bian would be jealous of the powerful.

"Huh!"

There was another piece of paper, and Bao Zheng looked dim after reading it.

After a long time, he sighed.

Censorate.

The sky was dark and it seemed that rain was coming.

Sun Yan sat down with his head down, closing his eyes to rest, and a quick footsteps came. He opened his eyes slightly, and it was his subordinate Zhao Yan.

"What a panic? Every time there are big things..."

"Is there any calmness? I know."

Zhao Yan hurriedly handed over the thing in his hand: "Look at this thing!"

Sun Yan's face disappeared with tiredness.

He unfolded the paper and, as he reflected under the light, the corner of his mouth slightly opened.

Seeing this, Zhao Yan smiled: "How about it, Lord Sun, are you satisfied?"

Sun Yan smiled and said, "Mr. Bao is indeed a senior who went out of the Censorate... Since that's the case, Lord Zhao, you are here to live, please let the brothers get busy!"

Zhao Yan was energetic: "Okay, listen to you!"

On the 27th day of the first lunar month, it is advisable to travel, engage in engagement, and avoid starting work in permafrost.

A spring rain broke out in Bianjing City, and the spring cold was steep. Civil and military officials shrank their necks and entered the brightly lit court in the dim darkness.

No major events happened in the first year of Zhihe. The only major event was the incident of Chen Zhizhong's rescinding minister. Now that it has entered the second year of Zhihe, I think nothing should be wrong. Zhihe's year name seems to be the right one. Harmony is the most important thing in everything.

When Zhao Zhen came to power in the second year of Mingdao, it was now the 22nd year. The first Song and Xia War broke out here. After three years of war, the two sides signed a Qingli peace agreement.

During this period, the Liao Kingdom took the opportunity to use heavy troops to force the Song court to increase the annual monies, which was praised by the historical figures of Xi's currency.

In the third year of Qingli, Zhao Zhen appointed Fan Zhongyan, the deputy governor, and others to carry out the Qingli new policy in an attempt to curb the increasingly serious land annexation and the "three redundant" phenomenon, but due to the huge opposition forces, the reform was immediately suspended.

Zhao Zhen is also an emperor who has experienced strong winds and heavy rains. After so many things, Zhao Zhen has become more and more calm. Although he is only 44 years old, his health is not very good, so he seems to have the twilight of an elderly person.

After experiencing the failed Qingli New Deal, Zhao Zhen began to hate accidents and change. His rule was mainly stable, but today was still a little different.

The court was a little depressed from the beginning, especially the Censorate, who would come out to discuss something if you have anything or not. Today, it was quite silent from the beginning, and Zhao Zhen was a little nervous.

Sure enough, after the eunuch raised his voice and shouted the final remark of leaving the court without any trouble, Zhao Yan, the censor of the palace, stood up with his head held high and his chest: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

Zhao Zhen couldn't help looking towards the direction of the Censor Sun Yan. Sun Yan closed his eyes slightly, as if he was a little sleepy.

"Please speak with you, your family." Zhao Zhen held back his anxiety.

Zhao Yan shouted: "Your Majesty, please clear the Huimin River."

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's going on with Huimin River? It's the dry season. Is it flooding again?"

Zhao Yan replied: "Your Majesty, spring has arrived and summer will soon begin. By then, heavy rain will pour, the Huimin River will inevitably surge, and the flooding of Kaifeng will be repeated.

I was worried about this, so I went to Huimin River for a walk. What I saw and heard was shocking, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Zhen quickly sat down and asked intently, "Please tell me in detail at Zhao Qing's family."

Zhao Yan waved his hands, and a soft sound from his wide sleeves made a sound, and a powerful voice sounded: "Your Majesty, the Huimin River runs through Kaifeng City, and the scenery on both sides of the shores flowing through the suburbs of the city is extremely beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

But I found that at some point, the Huimin River was surrounded by people, built elegant garden villas by the river, built dams in the river, and surrounded the rushing river water into its own garden lake.

This is why Kaifeng City is flooded every year. Every summer, the surging rivers in the upper reaches cannot pass through the blocked river channel and can only flood Kaifeng City!"

Zhao Zhen's face was a little solemn. The flooding in Kaifeng Prefecture has become more and more serious in recent years. I still remember the flood in the two-year period. The accumulated water outside the city even poured into the city, and the surrounding area of ​​Kaifeng Prefecture suddenly became a vast ocean.

Thousands of houses were destroyed, and the people even had to ride rafts to travel. Even many buildings in the imperial city were soaked, which had a great impact on the lives of the people. Is it the reason why the Huimin River was blocked?

Huimin River is under Kaifeng Prefecture, and Zhao Zhen looked at Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng immediately took the tablet and walked forward, shouting: "Your Majesty, this is true. The Huimin River is indeed seriously blocked. I think it is time to clear the Huimin River."

Zhao Zhen said: "Does Bao Aiqing think so too? Is there any evidence?"

Bao Zheng nodded and said, "Your Majesty, although I have just joined Kaifeng, I have been paying attention to the troubles of Huimin River for a long time. I have heard the people discuss this. It is better to harm the people than to benefit the people."

Zhao Zhen was shocked: "Have you reached this point? It must be rectified. Can Bao Aiqing have a way to clear it?"

Bao Zheng nodded: "Yes, I have prepared to sign a contract for a mandatory demolition order. Any buildings that are built illegally will be demolished within a time limit, and will definitely be demolished before the flood season."

Zhao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief: "Bao Aiqing is indeed confident in his actions. I am still very relieved. Bao Aiqing just cared about the execution. If there is any dissonance in the matter, you can inform me at any time. You must never let Huimin River become a harm to the people."

Bao Zheng bowed and retreated.

Zhao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. This was a trivial matter. Bao Zheng had no problem dealing with it. Just as he was about to look back, the chief censor Sun Yan stood up and shouted: "Your Majesty, I have something to do!"

Zhao Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself, it's coming!

The atmosphere today is not that simple, and I am really waiting here.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Please speak at Sun Qing's family."
