Chapter 267 Rumor... (Here it comes!)

Bianjing is already a little cool in August, especially late at night.

Because it was not yet time to light the stove, these Xu Bingliang also penetrated into Zhao Zhen's palace.

Concubine Zhang gently helped Zhao Zhen take off his hair tie and put on some relaxed sleeping clothes. The couple chatted with each other.

"...I heard that the back mountain has become a large area of ​​red. The whole mountain is red and it is really beautiful. When will the officials have time to take me to go sightseeing?"

Concubine Zhang said softly and waxily.

Zhao Zhen looked deeply tired, but after hearing Concubine Zhang's words, he still smiled softly and said: "Let's go some time, I'm really busy during this period.

The Yellow River burst its banks again in April. Alas, millions of people were trapped in floods. These millions of refugees had to deal with countless things every day. It was so difficult!"

Concubine Zhang's bright eyes and white teeth also had a worried look on her face: "Yes, my uncle went to Hebei to provide disaster relief. I heard from him that the local people on Hebei Road were displaced, left their hometowns, and fled to Jingdong Road in large numbers, causing social order in Hebei and Jingdong 2nd Road.

It's becoming increasingly unstable. My uncle is worried about a civil unrest in the area. Official, do you think my uncle will be in danger?

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this. Your uncle has done a good job in disaster relief in Hebei. He ordered the five prefectures in the area under his jurisdiction that had a good harvest to persuade the local people to give out grain, a total of 150,000 shi, plus the government

The grain in the warehouse is stored one by one in the Jingdong area to support the homeless people on Hebei Road;

In addition, more than 100,000 public and private houses were collected for the refugees to live in, and officials were assigned to distribute food to the refugee areas to relieve the hungry;

At the same time, it was temporarily decided that the owners of mountains, forests, rivers, lakes and other places where refugees could survive would not prohibit refugees from entering these areas; orders were given to recruit young and middle-aged refugees as soldiers;

After the refugees died, the government built tombs to bury them, and sent people to offer sacrifices all year round.

Through his careful arrangements and care, more than 500,000 refugees in Hebei have been resettled and properly dealt with..."

Zhao Zhen looked very satisfied: "...My uncle is doing things well. I have already sent someone to reward him with an imperial edict. With such merit, no one will dare to gossip if he is appointed as the Hui Envoy this time."

Concubine Zhang was overjoyed when she heard this: "This is great. I am still worried that too many refugees will endanger the Song Dynasty. Alas, these things in the Song Dynasty are too difficult. There are floods in the north and Nong Zhigao in the south.

We are suffering from internal and external troubles. Thank you for your hard work."

Hearing the word "Nong Zhigao", Zhao Zhen's smile suddenly faded: "My dear concubine, what do you think of Zhang Juzheng?"

Concubine Zhang was secretly shuddered, but there was no difference on her face. She smiled and said: "Xianggong Zhang has risen to great heights. He is the youngest prime minister in the Song Dynasty. He is naturally a dragon and a phoenix among people, which is admirable.

Now when everyone talks about Zhang Juzheng, they all praise him and no one is unconvinced. Everyone says that when Mr. Zhang comes back this time, he will probably join the political affairs hall. In a few years, he will probably be the prime minister of the Song Dynasty. Zhang Juzheng

Juzheng will escort the Song Dynasty. In the next few decades, the Song Dynasty will surely sing and dance to peace!"

Concubine Zhang seemed to be quite happy, but Zhao Zhen's face turned a little darker: "Is that what everyone said?"

Concubine Zhang Guifei saw that Zhao Zhen looked wrong and couldn't help but hesitate: "Even if I mention it casually, I don't take it seriously."

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Concubine Zhang quickly shook her head.

Zhao Zhen showed a smile and encouraged: "It's okay, you can talk more. We, husband and wife, don't have to avoid too many things when we talk. You know something, so I won't be deceived by others!"

Concubine Zhang hesitated for a moment and said: "What I heard is all hearsay, and it is not accurate. It is just for fun. Official, do you want to hear it?"

Zhao Zhen chuckled: "I'm just listening for fun, it's okay. You can just say it to make me laugh, and I'm just listening for fun."

Concubine Zhang suddenly became more interested in talking: "That's what my concubine said!"

Zhao Zhen smiled and nodded.

Concubine Zhang immediately started speaking vividly: "... before Nong Zhigao caused chaos in Guangdong and Guangxi, you sent many people there, and later you sent Mr. Zhang to go there, but Guangdong and Guangxi were already in ruins.

Zhang Xianggong took Di Qing there, and naturally fought through thorns and defeated Nong Zhigao. Everyone knows this, but there are some rumors that seem more interesting, but these can only be heard through hearsay.

It is said that Nong Zhigao conquered more than a dozen states and plundered the wealth of more than a dozen states. Especially in the commercial center of Guangzhou, he took away countless millions of dollars in property and goods.

The rumor is about these tens of millions of guan. It is said that Zhang Xianggong defeated Nong Zhigao.

So I decided to keep Nong Zhigao..."

Zhao Zhen's face became darker and darker. Concubine Zhang seemed to be unaware and spoke enthusiastically. It wasn't until Zhao Zhen didn't speak for a long time that she suddenly realized it.

Should I say this?"

Zhao Zhen came back to his senses, smiled and said: "Very good, I think it's very interesting. Okay, it's late at night, let's go to bed."

The lights went out, and after a while there was a moaning sound.

After the morning court on the second day, Zhao Zhen summoned the Imperial City Secretary to conduct official business.

The current official's name is Li Ji, and he has a sinister look on his face, which makes it clear at first glance that he is not a good person.

The Imperial City Division is a secret service agency that directly takes orders from Zhao Zhen, and Li Ji is the person Zhao Zhen trusts the most.

As soon as Li Ji came in, he bowed to Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen lowered his eyes and said, "Check the whereabouts of the property that Nong Zhigao robbed from more than ten states in Guangdong and Guangxi."

Li Ji's head was on the floor. When he heard this, he didn't even raise his head and said: "Yes, the official family, my subordinates will investigate. I don't know if there is anyone suspicious in the official family."

Zhao Zhen said softly: "I don't know, but this matter involves a wide range of things. If necessary, we will investigate as high a level as possible."

Li Ji quickly raised his head, looked at Zhao Zhen and said, "Can Xianggong Zhang check?"

Zhao Zhen frowned slightly: "He can be checked below."

Li Ji looked happy: "Yes, my subordinates know..."

But then he hesitated and said, "Can General Di check?"

Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "Check!"

Li Ji left in a hurry.

Zhao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was a little sinister: "I treat you so kindly, but you are ungrateful and always expect more. You are really feeding unfamiliar wolf cubs!"

——

Zhang Zhonghui stared at the roof with his eyes wide open, looking helpless. When he heard footsteps coming from outside, he didn't even move.

"Huier, there is news from the palace."

An old woman's voice came, and Zhang Zhonghui jumped up immediately and rushed to the old woman: "Mom, what did my cousin say?"

The old woman snorted and said, "You were half-dead just now, why are you so full of life now?"

Zhang Zhong replied with a smile: "Mom, my child escaped from Guangxi with his life. Although he survived, if he is pursued later, he will not be allowed to go in. My child is the only child of the old Zhang family. I want to

If something happens, you must not die of grief!"

The old woman snorted and said, "It's not something worth being happy to have such a thing like you."

Zhang Zhong replied: "..."
