Emperor Renzong of the Great Song Dynasty

On the day Kou Yaoniang gave birth, there was a heavy rain in Bianliang City that had not happened in a century.

The rain started to fall the night before, and Zhao Yibi was still asleep, awakened by the sound of rain hitting the tiles.

He listened to the noisy rain accompanied by the howling wind outside, and asked, "It's raining again?"

Liu En nodded in the dark: "It's the seventh heavy rain this year. It's more violent than any previous one."

Zhao Yiyi frowned: "There has been too much rain this year."

He suddenly thought of something, and sat up abruptly: "Factory!"

Jiang Ping's factory was built on the edge of the Bian River. Once the rainwater floods and the Bian River destroys the embankment, it will affect the factory and school!

The previous six heavy rains had overwhelmed the embankment of the Bian River. If there was another one...

He said to Liu En: "Hurry up, change my clothes, I'm going out of the palace."

Liu En brought him a uniform and a cloak. The rain was blowing and the wind was blowing, and he could no longer hold an umbrella.

The rain blocked the view like a curtain. Liu En didn't dare to lead Zhao Yiyi to leap over the palace wall with light work, so he had to bring a horse and order the palace gate.

An order was also sent to Fan Zhongyan, telling him to take the guards of Kaifeng Mansion to patrol the river together, and if any embankment was washed away, he should immediately go to Biankou to notify the He Qing soldiers stationed there.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the Xiang army was used as the military army, and one of them was called the Heqing army, which was stationed in various rivers and was responsible for water conservancy construction.

Wearing a cloak of linoleum, Zhao Yiyi straddled his horse, followed by Liu En, who was also riding a horse, and a whole team of court guards.

He was not proficient in riding skills, but fortunately Liu En chose a very docile filly for him, so he rode out of the palace smoothly.

Bianshui is a section of the Grand Canal that runs through Bianliang from east to west.Once the Bian River floods, the entire city of Tokyo will be submerged.

It is reasonable for the emperor to be worried about the flood and leave the palace overnight.

Jiang Ping is well versed in water properties. When choosing a site to build a factory, he considered the possibility of the Bian River flooding, so he built the factory on a small high ground.At this time, although the water in Bian has risen a lot than usual, it will not be able to flood the factory for a while.

Zhao Yiyi saw that the factory and school were safe, so he returned to the palace.

After bathing and changing clothes, it was already dawn.

Zhao Yiyi didn't sleep any more, and asked Liu En to bring the papers he hadn't read yesterday and continue to review them.

It was raining too much, Zhao Yiyi was a considerate monarch, so he directly canceled the court meeting, and had to wait until the rain stopped tomorrow.

It was past noon, and Zhao Yiyi had just put down a military report sent by Di Qing from the Xixia front, when he saw Liu En hurried in, brushing the rain on his face: "Officials, the queen has entered the production court."

Zhao Yiyi suddenly stood up: "The queen is going to give birth?"

He counted the days, and found that these two days were the days when Kou Yaoniang was going to give birth, and hurriedly said: "Get ready to walk, I will go to the maternity pavilion to accompany the queen to give birth in person."

This child is an important bargaining chip for him to stabilize the Kou Party and appease Di Qing, and it is also his first child.In terms of emotion and reason, he should go to the maternity court to have a look.

The rain at this time was heavier than last night, and the chariot walked on the road very slowly and carefully.

Zhao Yiyi was so anxious that he wanted to get down and walk by himself several times.

As soon as he entered the gate of the maternity pavilion, he heard a loud cry of a baby.

Zhao Yiyi was overjoyed: "Has it been born yet?"

After getting off the carriage, you have to go into the delivery room to see the baby.

Liu En stopped him: "Your Majesty, you should change your clothes and clean your hands. The baby is weak and cannot stand the cold."

Zhao Yiyi slapped his head: "Look at me, I forgot."

There is always hot water in the delivery room. Zhao Yiyi took off his wet robe, dried his hair, washed his hands with hot water, and then walked quickly into the delivery room.

After giving birth, Kou Yaoniang was lying on the bed and fell asleep.

Wen Po was holding two small babies: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has given birth to a pair of princes and children."

Zhao Yiyi was stunned: "Two twins?"

Kou Yaoniang gave birth to the prince.

He has an heir.

Liu En took two swaddling babies from Mrs. Wen, and sent the babies to Zhao Yiyi: "Your Majesty, they are the little prince and the little princess."

Zhao Yiyi smiled softly: "It's bright red, like two little monkeys."

He stretched out his finger, wanting to touch the child's face, but suddenly withdrew it and said with a smile, "You can't touch it, it will be bad if you touch it."

He asked the steady woman, "Which one is the prince and which one is the princess?"

Wen Po said: "The one in the father-in-law's left hand is the prince, and the one in the right hand is the princess."

Zhao Yiyi took a deep breath and clicked on the little prince's attribute panel.

Ever since he knew that Kou Yaoniang was pregnant, he wanted to do this.

I don't know what my son's attributes are...

For an heir to the throne, attributes such as intelligence and morality of ordinary people are not important, the most important are the three attributes that belong exclusively to the children of the royal family.

Administrative, diplomatic, military.

The full value of each attribute is six.

Zhao Yiyi felt that, as his heir, it would be enough to be a conservative king in the future.

There is no need to be too good, even if it is just an ordinary person's level, he is satisfied.

He held his breath and looked at the three attributes of the little prince.

Item 1, Administration, [-];

Item 2, Diplomacy, [-];

The third item, military, 1.

121...

This is not as good as Zhao Yunxi.

Zhao Yunxi's attribute is 451. Although the military is a bit low, his administration and diplomacy are of a properly excellent level.

It's not like his son, whose value is so low.

Zhao Yiyi pursed his lips, feeling a little disappointed.

He comforted himself in his heart, forget it, isn't it just that the heir's attributes are a little lower, it doesn't matter, the ability can be cultivated the day after tomorrow, it is really impossible to have another one, anyway, he is not infertile like Song Renzong...

Wen Po didn't understand why the emperor's complexion suddenly became gloomy, but she also knew that it was best to pretend that she didn't know anything.

The less you know about the secret affairs of the royal family, the longer you live.

The little prince offended the officials just after he was born...

She buried her head deeper.

Zhao Yiyi was doing psychological training for himself, when he suddenly heard Liu En call him: "Official."

When he looked up, he saw that Liu En's face was full of surprises: "Guan, take a quick look at the little princess."

Zhao Yiyi looked at the baby sleeping in Liu En's right arm: "Well, it's good, I slept soundly."

The little face was red and wrinkled, and the swaddle slowly rose and fell, exceptionally quiet.

Liu En said: "Official, take a closer look at her."

Zhao Yiyi was puzzled.

Liu En glanced at Wen Po, and said with a more serious tone: "Look carefully."

Zhao Yiyi immediately understood that Liu En wanted to show him the attribute panel of the little princess.

Liu En is his AI assistant and can share his system permissions.When he was immersed in the disappointment of getting a 121 heir, Liu En should have checked the princess' panel.

Thinking of Liu En's surprised expression, Zhao Yiyi suddenly thought of a crazy possibility——

No way……

Zhao Yiyi shook his fingers and gently opened the princess' panel.

He skimmed the previous list of moral, intellectual and material ambitions, and directly classified them into the attributes of the monarch.

Administrative, 6; Diplomatic, 6; Military, 6…

Zhao Yiyi raised his head and looked at Liu En, and they both saw deep excitement and disbelief in each other's eyes.

666 God Lord!

All three are the highest attribute values!

There is no ordinary person in the whole world who is more suitable to be an emperor than her!

She was born to be an emperor!

If she is not allowed to be the emperor, it would be a waste of money!

Even Liu En, the system AI, was very excited about it. It is conceivable how rare it is for an heir with perfect attributes——

Zhao Yiyi laughed loudly, took the little princess from Liu En's hand, and hugged her in his arms: "Good! Good!"

He couldn't express his joy in words. He hugged the little princess around and raised his chin: "The empress has contributed to the birth of an heir, and everyone in the empress's palace will be rewarded with six months' salary!"

He looked down at the little princess who was still sleeping, with endless joy in his heart.

666 God Lord...

I have a successor!

However, this god is a girl.

He reached out and touched the baby's cheek lightly.

Daughter, you really created a problem for your father and me.

Forget it, a girl is a girl, anyway, you are 666, you are reasonable no matter what.

He returned the princess to the midwife, and took Liu En back to Yuchen Palace.

It's time to call Fan Zhongyan to give his daughter a name.

I didn't know whether the queen would give birth to a boy or a girl, so Zhao Yiyi asked Yan Shu and Fan Zhongyan to help him come up with some names for both boys and girls.

But at that time, I didn't expect to give birth to a female 666 Shengjun, so the female names I thought of were a bit mild, such as Yi, An, Ning, and no imperial spirit at all.

Look at the name Wu Zetian changed to himself, Wu Zhao, the sun and the moon are in the sky, how domineering, it sounds like an emperor.

After Fan Zhongyan entered the palace, he brought a piece of bad news.

"Last night, the Bian water soared, destroying two embankments, drowning twelve people, and destroying more than thirty houses."

Zhao Yiyi instantly forgot the joy of getting an heir.

"Didn't I send He Qing soldiers to strengthen the dam, why would people drown?"

Fan Zhongyan said: "Natural disasters such as fire and water, manpower cannot contend, this is the first; the second..."

Zhao Yiyi stared at him: "In addition to natural disasters, there are also man-made disasters, right?"

Fan Zhongyan nodded slowly.

Zhao Yiyi thumped the table: "It's unreasonable!"

He asked again, "Is it our people, or the people on the other side?"

Kou Zhun has been away for several months, and Fan Zhongyan has also attracted a large number of Kou parties with the support of Zhao Yiyi.

When there are too many people, it is easy to cause chaos.

What Zhao benefited was afraid of was that this man-made disaster was actually caused by the royalist party, which is why Fan Zhongyan was so embarrassed to say it.

But Fan Zhongyan shook his head: "It doesn't belong to us, nor does it belong to the opposite party."

Zhao Yiyi asked, "What's going on?"

Fan Zhongyan said: "The Heqing Bing belongs to the Dushui Supervisor and is a branch of the Xiang Army. The Xiang Army was originally responsible for all kinds of labor, but now that the world has been at peace for a long time, the Xiang Army has gradually become lazy, and even hired people with money to replace them. It’s not just a day or two for the hard labor. Earlier, when the Duke of Lai was training the new army, some of the short soldiers in the forbidden army were dropped off, and these soldiers brought some unhealthy habits of the forbidden army with them. Yesterday When the late minister ordered people to go to the Biankou River where the Qing soldiers were stationed to ask people to repair the embankment, there were only 20 people in the battalion, and the rest of them disappeared."

Zhao Yiyi gritted his teeth again: "Very good."

Fan Zhongyan continued: "It was Boss Jiang who saw that the river was swollen unusually, so he led the workers to the river to find the minister, and the minister was able to use the strength of the workers to block several larger cracks. But one still burst and washed away. destroyed the houses along the coast, and drowned the people."

He knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty is guilty, please punish me."

Zhao Yiyi helped him up and sighed, "How can this be your fault."

"It should be my fault. I didn't expect the seriousness of the matter."

He was only busy asking Kou Zhun to train the imperial army to defend the country, but he never thought that he should improve the quality of the Xiang army.

Isn't the current Xiang army taking on the responsibility of future firefighters? If a fire breaks out somewhere in future generations, there will only be 20 people left behind in the fire command center...

Zhao Yiyi squeezed the Qingming point: "Xiwen, we have to train a team of firefighters ourselves."

Fan Zhongyan was puzzled: "Fireman?"

Zhao Yiyi said: "There are also the police. They should be arranged. Forget it, let's not talk about these. Have you appeased the civilians who suffered losses in the flood?"

Fan Zhongyan nodded: "The thirty households whose houses were destroyed were handed over to Boss Jiang for the time being, and placed in his empty factory building. The family members of the deceased also paid for the funeral expenses, and Boss Jiang took the money."

Zhao Yiyi nodded: "When Ji Xiang approves the money, remember to return it to him. It's not easy for him to do business."

Fan Zhongyan took the order.

"Okay, let's go," Zhao Yiyi moved his shoulders: "I wanted you to name the crown prince, but since I have encountered such a thing, let's talk about it another day."

Fan Zhongyan was pleasantly surprised: "Has the queen given birth yet?"

Zhao Yiyi nodded slightly: "One son and one daughter, I have a prince."

Fan Zhongyan said: "This is not only the joy of His Majesty, but also the joy of the community!"

The crown prince is the foundation of the country. With the crown prince, the emperor's rule will be more stable, which is a good thing.

Zhao Yiyi said: "Now is not the time to be happy."

"Pull your face off, we'll have to find someone bad luck tomorrow."

"I don't know if Xia Song's Zhongliang pamphlet has been compiled."

At the court meeting the next day, Zhao Yiyi specially wore an old clothes that had been washed white.

When he was still growing up, his clothes had to be replaced with new ones every one or two months, and this suit was the only one he wore that looked old.

Sure enough, when the officials saw him coming out in such a suit, they were a little puzzled.

Well done, why did the emperor come out in such a suit?

Is it implying that the palace has no money, so that Ji Xiang should allocate more money to the palace to buy clothes?

Those who are well-informed have already thought of the dozen or so people who drowned in the flood the night before, and know that the emperor probably wants to take the lead in practicing simplicity to reassure the world.

But the emperor sighed on the throne: "My lords, the prince was born in the palace yesterday."

None of the ministers thought that he was talking about this matter when he opened his mouth, and they were a little dazed.

Why are you sighing?

In any case, the birth of a prince is always a good thing, so they congratulated the emperor one after another, celebrating the birth of a prince in the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Yiyi sighed again: "Then I heard that the Bian River broke its dam and 12 people died."

The hearts of the ministers trembled.

Sure enough it was for this.

"Is the prince innocent? Or I am innocent? Why did such a disaster happen just after the prince was born?"

Fan Zhongyan came out and said: "The rain is a disaster, and it is the fault of the ministers."

All the officials of the royalist party followed and said: "It's the fault of the ministers and others. Please remove the ministers and others, Your Majesty, to secure the world."

Zhao Yiyi smiled wryly: "Qing and others have worked hard for the country and are utterly loyal. I don't know, so there is no need to pollute myself. I have never blamed Qing and others."

Fan Zhongyan said: "Your Majesty is benevolent and holy, and God will not send disasters to His Majesty. If the flood is really in accordance with God's will, it can only be a villain with no morals in the court who defiles the Holy Spirit. God will send disaster warnings, please Your Majesty." Lord Qing's side."

Zhao Yiyi said: "Beside me, there are all loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous gentlemen. I don't know who is a villain with no morals."

He turned to Xia Song and said, "Is that right, Xia Qing?"

Xia Song bowed his head: "Your Majesty is holy, and the luster is ten thousand squares."

Zhao Yiyi nodded: "You feel that there is an official in the court who has lost his morals, so that the heavens will send disaster warnings, you can listen to me."

He glanced at Bao Zheng: "Isn't Yushitai the most talkative on weekdays? Do you have something to play today?"

Bao Zheng came out with the wat board in his hand: "My minister Bao Zheng, I have something to play."

Seeing him go out, all civil and military officials felt their scalps go numb and their backs felt cold.

At this juncture, whoever wants to be included in a book will be dead without a place to bury him.

The emperor wants to find a villain with no morals to take the blame and wash away the stain of the disaster that Chu Jun suffered when he was born.Once this scapegoat is taken on her back, she will never even think about getting ahead in this life.

Zhao Yiyi nodded: "Bao Qing, please tell me."

Bao Zheng said: "I want to join Xia Song, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. His mother is mourning, he disregards human relations, harms nature, but he is in the position of prime minister. If virtue does not match, there will be disasters. Your Majesty, please punish this person severely, so that the world can be safe. The community and the heart of the subjects."

Xia Song's cold sweat instantly wet his back: "You are bleeding!"

Bao Zheng looked at him sternly: "Justice rests in the hearts of the people."

Zhao Yiyi was surprised: "There is such a thing! Bao Qing, do you have evidence?"

Bao Zheng said: "The evidence is solid!"

He took out a notebook from his sleeve: "Please read it Your Majesty."

Zhao Yiyi took the letter from Liu En, looked at it for a while, and sighed: "Xia Qing! Why did this happen!"

He closed his eyes and said, "I thought that Xia Qing's character was as upright and bright as an article, so I entrusted you with the task of compiling the book of loyal ministers and filial sons. I didn't expect... Sigh!"

Xia Song knew that the general situation was over—the fact that he did not observe his mother's funeral was actually well-documented, as long as anyone wanted to find out, he would be able to find out.It was Kou Zhun who protected him before, so no one dared to mention this.Now that Kou Zhun is not around, the emperor dug up this old account, and he is determined to punish him.

He no longer defended himself, but he couldn't afford it: "Your Majesty, I know that I have committed a serious crime, so that I can appease the wrath of the heavens, so that innocent people can be hurt by the fault of my own."

Zhao Yiyi waved his hand: "According to what Qing said."

Xia Song was dismissed from his position in the capital and demoted to join the army as a Sihu in another state.

As soon as he left, the post of Deputy Privy Envoy became vacant again.

Sometimes Zhao Yiyi feels that this position is a bit evil, and no one who takes it will end well.

Yan Shu is like this, Xia Song is like this...

But no matter how evil this position is, it is an out-and-out high-ranking official, and there are still many people flocking to it.

He was not sure who he would give this position to, so he asked Fan Zhongyan for his opinion.

Fan Zhongyan pondered and said: "I have a candidate."

Zhao Yiyi said: "Let's listen to it."

Fan Zhongyan said: "This person is Pang Ji, the royal servant in the palace."

Zhao Yiyi was stunned for a moment: "Pang Ji, the censor?"

"Is it the auspicious auspiciousness, or the native place?"

Fan Zhongyan said: "It's the place of origin."

If it's not Pang Ji, then it's not the notorious Grand Master Pang in Bao Qingtian, but the capable minister Pang Chunzhi in history.

Zhao Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief: "This person is available."

"But why did you suddenly think of such a person?"

Fan Zhongyan said: "One is that this person is dedicated to the country, and he does not cling to the prime minister, but is a minister of the emperor. The second is..."

He glanced at Zhao Yiyi's face: "When Chunzhi was in the county, he was supported by Xia Song."

Zhao Yiyi smiled: "Do you want me to replace Xia Song with Pang Ji, to show that I'm a meritocracy and don't settle accounts after autumn?"

Fan Zhongyan nodded: "I really have that intention."

"Okay, let Pang Ji be my bone of a thousand miles."

Zhao Yiyi said: "Let those terrified gangsters see that I am not a man-eating monster. I have surrendered to me, and I will not blame the past for what happened in the past."

Kou Yaoniang gave birth at the hottest time of summer, and a few heavy rains took away twelve lives, as well as a privy envoy.

The rain was still falling, and the sky in Bianliang City was hardly clear throughout June and July.

Occasionally, it does not rain in Bianliang City, but the upper reaches of Bianshui is still raining, and the rainwater flows into Bianshui, threatening the safety of Tokyo City at all times.

Zhao Yiyi mobilized 20 soldiers from the 1 imperial troops staying in the capital, organized them into [-] police teams, and handed them over to Fan Zhongyan, asking him to maintain the law and order of the city of Tokyo and not let anyone take advantage of the flood to do evil.

Other states and counties also sent documents to Beijing to report the local floods.Some farmlands were washed away, and some urban houses were washed away.

Among them, the lower reaches of the Yellow River were particularly affected, with more than [-] houses destroyed and more than [-] people drowned.

Zhao benefited from exempting the area from taxes this year, and asked the area to open granaries to help the victims.

The chief of that place wrote a letter saying that the granary was destroyed by the flood, and Zhao Yiyi asked Sansi to allocate a batch of grain for him.

Going around, summer has passed, autumn has passed, and winter is coming.

There are many displaced victims near the capital.

In the freezing weather, these people had no tiles to cover their bodies and no ground to stand on, so they had to sleep in one place in groups, relying on each other's body temperature and grass roots dug from the snow to survive.

At the end of the year, disaster victims came to Beijing, which is no small matter.

This shows that the disaster situation in a certain place has expanded beyond control, and these disaster victims will come to the capital from thousands of miles away, instinctively asking their rulers for help.

Zhao Yiyi learned about this from Bao Zheng's memorial.

He recalled the local disaster situation since the summer, and found that no state or county reported that his disaster situation had reached this level.

And the capital also allocated supplies to various places that were theoretically sufficient to deal with the disaster—after the Kou Dang was brought under his command, Zhao benefited from all the power except for the army in the northwest that was at war with Xixia.

He can be sure that these supplies have indeed been delivered to the disaster-stricken areas.

As for the matter after being transported to the state and county, Zhao Yiyi was beyond his reach.

I am afraid that some officials tampered with it and embezzled the funds for disaster relief, which caused a large number of victims to flee.

After weighing for a long time, he handed over the task of investigating the origin of the refugees to Bao Zheng.

He was also entrusted with full power to deal with corrupt officials afterwards.

One thing does not bother the two masters, Bao Qingtian, it's your turn to play.
